October 17, 2006, as previously amended (the "Initial 13D"), by the Reporting

Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the
following:
American Real Estate Partners, L.P. ("AREP"), an entity controlled by Mr.
Icahn, made an acquisition proposal to Lear Corporation Friday evening February
2, 2007, which calls for a merger of Lear with a newly formed subsidiary of
AREP, pursuant to which stockholders of Lear would receive $36 per share in
cash. During the weekend, representatives of AREP discussed the transaction with
Issuer's key senior executives, including Chairman and CEO, Robert Rossiter, who
indicated to AREP that if the deal were consummated they would remain with the
Issuer. Throughout the weekend, AREP and Lear discussed the proposal and are
attempting to come to an agreement on the terms and conditions and the
definitive documents embodying them. There is no assurance that the parties will
finally agree to terms or that any transaction will ultimately result.
