Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On May 28, 2008, and effective as of June 1, 2008, ArvinMeritor, Inc. (“ArvinMeritor”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2005, among ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation and various affiliates, as Originators, relating to ArvinMeritor’s U.S. accounts receivable securitization program. The purpose of the amendment is to amend the definition of “Designated Receivable” so that receivables arising from the sale of goods or the provision of services by ArvinMeritor OE, LLC in respect of which an invoice is issued for the first time after June 1, 2008 will not be sold to ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation under ArvinMeritor’s U.S. accounts receivable securitization program. This will exclude receivables attributable to ArvinMeritor’s Light Vehicle Systems business in preparation for the planned spin off of this business to ArvinMeritor’s shareholders.
The amendment is filed as Exhibit 10a to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
