The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
October 17, 2006, as previously amended (the "Initial 13D"), by the Reporting

further amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All
capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Initial 13D.

Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
On November 3, 2008, Vincent Intrieri, an employee of the Reporting Persons
and a member of the board of directors of the Issuer, delivered to the board a
letter of resignation, a copy of which is filed herewith and incorporated herein
by reference.
Also on November 3, 2008, Carl C. Icahn delivered to the board a letter (a
copy of which is filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference) which
stated:
As you probably are aware, I have been known to criticize many senior
executives for doing subpar jobs in corporations. However, this is far from
the case with Bob Rossiter and Dan Ninivaggi, who I have met on a number of
occasions during the past year. I have built a great respect for both of
them and find them to be extremely competent executives. I also have a
great respect for the other senior executives at Lear that I have had
occasion to meet during the past year. I hope to keep up my relationship
with both Bob and Dan in the coming months.

Chairman of the
Board of Directors
Lear Corporation

Re: Resignation as Director
Dear Bob:
I hereby resign as director of Lear Corporation, effective immediately. My
resignation is not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter
relating to the Company's operations, policies, practices, or otherwise.
We
have a great deal of confidence in the current management team and
believe they have done, and will continue to do, the right things to create
value for shareholders. We regret that the merger transaction that was proposed
last year was not approved by shareholders, as we believe that the Company would
have benefitted tremendously from being a private enterprise. Nevertheless, we
believe that the Company is well positioned to weather the tough economic
environment ahead.
Our funds are in the process of reducing their positions in the Company in
order to realize capital losses prior to the end of the year. These capital
losses will offset certain capital gains realized by the funds.
I wish the Company much success in its future endeavors.
Very truly yours,
Vincent J. Intrieri

Gentlemen:
As you probably are aware, I have been known to criticize many senior
executives for doing subpar jobs in corporations. However, this is far from the
case with Bob Rossiter and Dan Ninivaggi, who I have met on a number of
occasions during the past year. I have built a great respect for both of them
and find them to be extremely competent executives. I also have a great respect
for the other senior executives at Lear that I have had occasion to meet during
the past year. I hope to keep up my relationship with both Bob and Dan in the
coming months.
Thank you,
Carl C. Icahn
