way a sale or exchange of assets and the division is being affected without the introduction of
outside funds or other property not constituting marital property. The division of property under
this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all rights of equitable distribution of the parties.

execution of this Agreement, Husband maintains his residence at that property. As long as
Husband is maintaining his residence at the property, but under no circumstance beyond August
31, 2007, Wife shall pay 65% of the amount due for the mortgage payment, including escrows,
each month and Husband shall pay 35% of the amount due for the mortgage payment, including
escrow. When Husband vacates the premises and Wife establishes her residence at the property,
if this occurs prior to August 31, 2007, each party shall pay one half of the mortgage payment,
including escrows, each month until August 31, 2007, when Husbands obligation to participate in
the payment of the mortgage shall cease in its entirety. It is acknowledged that if Husband

from the sale of the property.
Not withstanding the foregoing, either party may, request that the property be sold. In
such event, the property will be listed for sale with Sunil Patel or another Realtor of the parties'
mutual selection. If the parties cannot agree upon a realtor to use for the purpose of listing and
selling the property, Husband shall name three realtors with three different real estate firms that
are acceptable to him to list and sell the property. Wife shall then select one of those three
realtors named. The realtor who is selected by wife shall then list the property for sale. The
property shall be listed at a sale price agreed upon by the parties, using the guidance of the
selected realtor. Once the property is marketed, the parties must accept any offer for purchase of
the property by a third party purchaser if the offer is at least 95% of the listing price. Normal and
routine settlement costs shall be deducted from the gross proceeds of the sale at the time of the
settlement. The net proceeds of sale should then be divided with 60% being distributed to
Husband and 40% being distributed to Wife.
Further, at the time that either party makes demand that the property be sold, both parties
shall retain a right of first refusal, such that, if a bona fide offer from a third party purchaser for
value is made, either party may match that offer and thereby, be entitled to purchase the property

from the other party to this Agreement at that price. In this regard, the realtor shall be
specifically advised of this provision of the Agreement and Husband and Wife shall be excluded
from the listing agreement, such that there will be no realtor's commission paid in the event one
party buys the property from the other.

of settlement shall disburse the sum of $5,000.00 from I-Iusband's proceeds to Wife for
reimbursement of prior loans provided by Wife to Husband and other expenses previously agreed

new furnace that occurred in 2005. At the time that payment is due on that bill from Home
Depot the parties will equally share in that costs. In the event, Husband does not have finances
available to pay his one half share of the price of the furnace to Home Depot, Wife may make
payment in full to Home Depot and then secure distribution of Husband's one half share of that
expense from Husband's net proceeds from the sale of the former marital residence at the time of
settlement. No specific time frame for sale is required or anticipated by this

IN DIVORCE
QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER
WHEREAS, CELESTA SABATINO, (hereinafter referred to as "Participant") and
MARCUS S. SABATINO, (hereinafter referred to as "Alternate Payee") have agreed to a
division of marital property, which agreement includes provision for a distribution from the
Participant's account with the The Lear Corporation Salaried Retirement Savings Plan
(hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"); and
WHEREAS, this Qualified Domestic Relations Order (hereinafter referred to as the
"Order") provides for the division and disposition of the marital component of the
Participant's account in the Plan, which is a benefit provided by Participant's employer; and
WHEREAS, Participant intends to grant Alternate Payee rights to such benefits in
such amounts on the terms and conditions prescribed hereinafter as provided for in the plan;
and
WHEREAS, this Order is intended to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order
(hereinafter "QDRO"), as that term is defined by Section 414 (p) of the Internal Revenue
Code and Section 206 (d) (3) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").
NOW, THEREFORE, it is Ordered and Decreed as follows:
1. The parties intend for this Order to constitute a "Qualified Domestic Relations
Order" as defined in Section 414 (p) of the Internal Revenue Code in 1986 has
amended.
CC -0 Ill L- d3S 95OZ
Atl?iGi` i ; ,t 3Hi JO
2. This Order applies to The Lear Corporation Salaried Retirement Savings Plan
(hereinafter "Plan")
3. Participant's date of birth is April 30, 1952, her social security number is 190-44-
9662, and her last known and current address is 331 Stonehedge Lane,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
4. Alternate Payee's date of birth is April 30, 1943, his social security number is
162-38-9456, and his current and last known address is 8 Dogwood Lane, Camp
Hill, Pennsylvania, 17011
5. The Plan Administrator for the plan is the Lear, P.O. Box 436, Little Falls, New
Jersey, 07424.
6. This Order creates and recognizes the existence of Alternate Payee's right to
receive a portion of the Participant's benefit payment under the Plan and is
entered pursuant to authority granted under the Pennsylvania Divorce Code of
1980, as amended.
7. This Order relates to provisions of marital property rights.
8. The parties to this Order were married on January 24, 1975 and separated on May
30, 2002, with the final Divorce Decree in this matter still pending.
9. A portion of the Participant's interest in the Plan is marital property subject to
distribution by the Court. As soon as administratively practicable after the Plan
Administrator determines this Order to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order
and the applicable appeal periods have expired, Plan Administrator shall
designate the sum of THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ELEVEN
DOLLARS AND SIXTY-FIVE/ONE HUNDRED (31,511.65) DOLLARS, as
Alternate payee's portion of Participant's funds, effective upon the date of
distribution. The amount designated as Alternate Payee's benefit shall not create
a taxable event as this is an authorized rollover from one individual's name to
another individual's name within the plan. The principal amount designated
above shall be designated as Alternate Payee's benefit under the Plan such that it
shall accrue gains and losses from the date of distribution forward to Alternate
Payee's benefit.
10. Upon awarding or distributing the sum set forth in paragraph nine above, a
separate account shall be established for Alternate Payee. Payment of these funds
shall be made to Alternate Payee as soon as administratively feasible following
receipt of the appropriate Plan distribution election.
In the event the amount specified in paragraph 9 above is in excess of
Participant's total account balance in the Plan as of the date of distribution to
Alternate Payee, the Plan shall distribute to the Alternate Payee 100% of
Participants vested account balance valued as of the date of distribution to the
Alternate Payee.
11. Alternate Payee designates his estate as beneficiary in the event he dies prior to
receiving payment.
12. The benefits hereby assigned to Alternate Payee shall be paid to Alternate Payee
not withstanding Participant's continued employment with Lear, in accordance
with the Alternate Payee's election and the terms of the Plan
13. All benefits payable under the Plan, other then those payable to Alternate Payee
shall be payable to Participant in such manner and form as Participant may elect
in her sole and undivided discretion, subject only to Plan requirements.
14. When payment is made from the Plan to Alternate Payee, unless arrangements are
made for Alternate Payee's payment to be made through a recognizable rollover
to an approved plan, payment shall be included in the Alternate Payee's gross
taxable income.
15. While it is anticipated that the Plan Administrator will pay directly to the
Alternate Payee the benefit awarded to him, Participant is designated as a
constructive trustee to the extent she receives any benefits under the Plan that are
due to Alternate Payee but paid to Participant. In the event of such payment,
Participant is ordered and decreed to pay the benefit defined above directly to
Alternate Payee.
16. The terms used in this Order shall have the same meaning as in the Plan. In the
event of a conflict between the terms of this QDRO and the Plan, the terms of the
Plan shall prevail.
17. Participant and Alternate Payee must advise the Plan Administrator of any
changes in their mailing addresses or legal names at any point in the future.
18. This Order does not require the plan to provide any type or form of benefits, or
option, not otherwise provided under the plan; nor require the payment of any
benefits for Alternate Payee which are required to be paid to another Alternate
Payee under another Order previously determined to be a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order; nor require the plan to provide increased benefits which result
from future contributions to the plan. Any provision of this Order, which appears
to be otherwise, shall be null and void and have no effect.
19. By the submission of this QDRO, the interested parties in this Order certify that
they are not aware of any prior Orders which attempt to dispose of the benefits
described herein. Should a prior Order exist, it is the responsibility of the
interested parties to advise the Plan Administrator prior to determination of the
"Qualified Status" of this Order.
20. Changes in Plan Sponsor, Plan Administrator, or change of Plan Name shall not
effect this Order. This QDRO continues to be effective with respect to any
successor or subsequent Plan, including any plan to which the Plan is merged. In
the event of a change of Plan Administrator or terms of the Plan, Alternate Payee
shall receive the same written notification as other beneficiaries.
21. The parties shall promptly submit this Order to the Plan Administrator, Lear, P.O.
Box 436, Little Falls, New Jersey, 07424 by certified mail, return receipt
requested. If this QDRO has not been pre-approved, the Plan Administrator shall,
within a reasonable time after the receipt of this Order, determine whether this
Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and notify both Participant and
Alternate Payee of such determination. Until such time as the determination has
been made, the Plan Administrator shall comply with all requirements imposed
upon it by Section 414 (p) (7) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 206 (D)
(3) (h) ERISA. If the Plan Administrator determines that this Order is not a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order, then it shall notify Participant and Alternate
Payee of such and the reason therefore.
22. This Court shall retain jurisdiction for enforcement purposes and to make any
changes in this Order to the extent required to carry out the intent of the parties as
evidence by their affirmations in their Separation and Property Settlement
Agreement or Marital Settlement Agreement.
IT IS INTENDED THAT THIS ORDER SHALL QUALIFY AS A QUALIFIED
DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER AS SUCH AS DEFINED UNDER SECTION
414(p) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986 AS AMMENDED. This
Court retains jurisdiction to amend this Order as might be necessary to establish or
maintain its status of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
