This
Master Restructuring Agreement (the “
Agreement”) is entered into as of September
6, 2007, by and between Delphi Corporation (“
Delphi”) and
General Motors Corporation
(“
GM”). Each of Delphi and GM is referred to herein individually as a “
Party,” and
collectively, as the “
Parties.” As used herein, the phrases “this Agreement,” “hereto,”
“hereunder,” and phrases of like import shall mean this Agreement.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, on October 8, 2005 and October 14, 2005, the Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases
in the Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of restructuring their businesses and related financial
obligations pursuant to an overall transformation strategy (the “Transformation Plan”) that
would incorporate the following structural components:
|
(i) |
|
Modification of Delphi’s labor agreements; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
Allocation of responsibilities between Delphi and GM concerning
(a) certain legacy obligations, including various pension and other
post-employment benefit obligations; (b) costs associated with the
transformation of the Debtors’ business (including the provision of financial
and other forms of support by GM in connection with certain businesses that
Delphi shall retain and certain businesses that Delphi intends to sell or wind
down); (c) the restructuring of ongoing contractual relationships; and (d) the
amount and treatment of GM’s claims in the Chapter 11 Cases; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
Streamlining of Delphi’s product portfolio to capitalize on
its world-class technology and market strengths and making the necessary
manufacturing alignment with Delphi’s new focus; |
|
|
(iv) |
|
Transformation of Delphi’s salaried work force in keeping with
a sustainable cost structure and streamlined product portfolio; and |
|
|
(v) |
|
Resolution of Delphi’s pension issues. |
WHEREAS, the Parties have an extensive commercial relationship and an intertwined corporate
and organizational history which has given rise to certain alleged claims and causes of action.
Prior to 1999, GM operated Delphi’s businesses through various divisions and subsidiaries. Delphi
was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of GM in 1998. Effective January 1, 1999, GM
transferred the assets and liabilities of certain divisions and subsidiaries to Delphi in
accordance with the terms of a Master Separation Agreement between Delphi and GM. GM remains
Delphi’s single largest customer, and Delphi is GM’s single largest supplier. Accordingly,
resolution of the issues identified in clause (ii) of the first Recital is critical to the success
of Delphi’s restructuring and vitally important to GM.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order, and subject to the requirements of
Bankruptcy Rule 9019, the Parties have determined to settle various disputes and compromise certain
claims as provided by two principal agreements: (i) the Settlement Agreement and (ii) this
Agreement. Together, the Settlement Agreement and this Agreement provide that the Parties shall
perform the obligations set forth therein, financial or otherwise, in exchange for, among other
things, the mutual releases of the Parties, their subsidiaries and Affiliates, and various third
parties from all claims and causes of action other than as specified in the Settlement Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Settlement Agreement addresses primarily those matters for which the Parties have
agreed upon resolutions that can be implemented in the short term. Accordingly, most obligations
set forth in the Settlement Agreement are to be performed upon, or as soon as reasonably
practicable after, the occurrence of the Effective Date. By contrast, resolution of most of the
matters addressed in this Agreement shall require a significantly longer period that shall extend
for a number of years after confirmation of the Plan. Performance of the obligations set forth in
this Agreement is critical to the successful implementation of the Debtors’ Transformation Plan and
is also vitally important to GM.
WHEREAS, GM will work cooperatively with Delphi in good faith to address issues relating to
competitiveness at the UAW Keep Facilities after the expiration of the current collective
bargaining agreements referenced in the applicable Labor MOUs.
WHEREAS, the effectiveness of this Agreement is conditioned on the approval of the Bankruptcy
Court and the satisfaction of other conditions set forth herein.
WHEREAS, as set forth in the Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Settlement Agreement and
this Agreement are incorporated by reference in their entirety into the Plan and form integral
parts thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which the Parties acknowledge, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

REVENUE PLAN
Section 3.01 Existing Agreements.
(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement, GM and
DAS shall continue to honor the terms and conditions of all existing GM Purchase Orders and other
contractual agreements with any of the Debtors (including long term and lifetime contracts and
other formal and verifiable agreements) in effect as of the Effective Date regarding the purchase
and supply of motor vehicle related components and component systems (“Component Parts”),
including all Component Parts that have been awarded to a Debtor pursuant to an award letter issued
by GM and not rejected by a Debtor in writing within a commercially reasonable period of time not
to exceed ten (10) business days, regardless of whether the production of Component Parts for such
program has commenced (“Existing Agreements”); provided, however, that
certain Existing Agreements shall be subject to the price reductions specified in
Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement. The term “Existing Agreements” includes all GM Purchase
Orders issued to a Debtor by GM on or before the Effective Date that a Debtor has accepted in
accordance with the Standard GM Terms, regardless of whether a Debtor has formally accepted the
applicable GM Purchase Order in writing; provided, however, that “Existing
Agreements” do not include the GM Purchase Orders and award letters which a Debtor has, in writing,
rejected or otherwise declined to accept or which a Debtor has accepted subject to conditions which
remain outstanding (each an “Outstanding GM Purchase Order”). Other than those purchase
orders and award letters identified on Exhibit 3.01(a)(i), neither GM nor Delphi is aware
of any Outstanding GM Purchase Orders. In the event that Outstanding GM Purchase Orders are
identified by either Party following the execution of this Agreement, GM and Delphi shall cooperate
to promptly resolve any disputes or open issues relating to such Outstanding GM Purchase Order. In
the event that the Parties are unable to promptly resolve the disputes or open issues relating to
such Outstanding GM Purchase Order, then such matters shall be resolved in accordance with section
3.10 of this Agreement. On the Effective Date Delphi hereby rescinds, those certain letters dated
August 24, 2005, August 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 along with any amendments and related
correspondence, regarding Delphi’s requirement that all purchase order renewals and extensions be
accepted in writing by authorized Delphi executives in order to be binding on Delphi.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge that pursuant to
section 7.03 of this Agreement all Existing Agreements shall be deemed assigned to DAS and, unless
otherwise requested by Delphi, and consented to by GM, all GM Purchase Orders issued on or after
the date hereof and before September 14, 2015, including confirming GM Purchase Orders issued
pursuant to sections 3.02 and 3.03(c) of this Agreement and GM Purchase Orders issued in connection
with business awarded pursuant to sections 3.04 through 3.07 of this Agreement, shall be issued to
DAS.
(b) The business covered by the Existing Agreements together with any business awarded
pursuant to sections 3.04 through 3.06 of this Agreement, any business awarded pursuant to section
3.07 of this Agreement that shall be produced at UAW Keep Facilities or IUE-CWA Keep Facilities,
and the business set forth on Exhibit 3.01(b) to this Agreement constitutes the “Booked
Business.” On and after the Effective Date, the initial price for Booked Business that is
subject to an Existing Agreement shall be the price set forth on the
MRA-26
relevant GM Purchase Order or, if there is no GM Purchase Order, the relevant award letter,
all subject, as applicable, to section 3.03 below. The Existing Agreements for Booked Business
are, and the GM Purchase Orders issued in connection with the Booked Business that is not yet
subject to an Existing Agreement shall be, binding contracts for the “Contract Term” as defined in
section 3.01(c) below.
(c) The “Contract Term” for each Component Part manufactured at UAW Keep Facilities,
whether subject to an Existing Agreement or to be awarded under section 3.04 or 3.07 below, is or
shall be the life of the applicable program (the “UAW Keep Business”). The “Contract Term”
for each Component Part manufactured at UAW Sale Facilities, whether subject to an Existing
Agreement or to be awarded under section 3.04 or 3.07 below, is or shall be the life of the
applicable program until each Sale Facility is sold (the “UAW Sale Business”).
Additionally, in no event shall either the UAW Keep Business or the UAW Sale Business be subject to
termination for convenience until after December 31, 2009 or such longer or shorter period
expressly provided for in this Agreement, including the exhibits to this Article III. The
“Contract Term” for each Component Part manufactured at IUE-CWA Keep Facilities, whether subject to
an Existing Agreement or awarded under section 3.05 or 3.07 below (the “IUE-CWA Business”),
is or shall be until October 12, 2011, and in any case shall not be subject to termination for
convenience until after December 31, 2009 or such shorter or longer period expressly provided for
in this Agreement, including the exhibits to this Article III. The “Contract Term” for all other
Booked Business which is not UAW Keep Business, UAW Sale Business, or IUE-CWA Business is as set
forth in this Agreement, including the exhibits to this Article III, and if not set forth in this
Agreement, including the exhibits to this Article III, as set forth in the applicable Existing
Agreement or as negotiated by the Parties in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 3.02 Contract Extensions. GM and Delphi have negotiated extensions of certain
Existing Agreements as set forth on Exhibit 3.02 to this Agreement. The applicable
Existing Agreements are hereby amended to incorporate the terms set forth on Exhibit 3.02
to this Agreement, and GM shall issue confirming purchase orders to DAS in the course of GM’s
normal business practices. To the extent that any confirming purchase order fails to reflect the
terms set forth in Exhibit 3.02 to this Agreement or contains terms inconsistent with the
terms set forth in Exhibit 3.02 to this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
control even if Delphi continues to ship the applicable Component Parts following the issuance of
the confirming purchase order.
Section 3.03 Price Down Arrangements.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, GM and Delphi shall implement the
price reductions specified on Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement (the “Price Down
Arrangements”) upon the occurrence of the Effective Date; provided, however,
that on the Effective Date, Delphi shall make a payment to GM via wire transfer in immediately
available funds in the amount of $75,000,000 (seventy five million dollars), which amount is
estimated to be equal to the total of all Price Down Arrangements that GM would have received prior
to the Effective Date had such Price Down Arrangements been implemented on the later of (x) January
1, 2007 or (y) such other date, if any, set forth on Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement for
the initial implementation of such price reductions (the “Estimated Payment Amount”).
MRA-27
(i) Immediately following the Effective Date, the part number price changes
associated with the Price Down Arrangements shall be activated within both the GM
accounts payable system and the Delphi accounts receivable system. This activation
will yield retroactive payment and billing adjustment detail that shall be shared by
the Parties no later than the end of the month following the Effective Date.
(ii) The subsequent MNS-2 payment due from GM to Delphi will capture the full
impact of the Price Down Arrangements for the applicable prior periods (the
“Actual Adjustment”) and, as such, will reduce the amount of the MNS-2
payment otherwise due from GM to Delphi by the amount of the Actual Adjustment. To
ensure that Delphi receives full credit for the payment of the Estimated Payment
Amount, GM shall reverse (i.e., credit) the amount of the Estimated Payment Amount
within the GM accounts payable system to offset the Actual Adjustment, resulting in
a net debit or credit, as appropriate, to the amount of the MNS-2 payment that is
equal to the difference between the Actual Adjustment and the Estimated Payment
Amount.
(iii) GM and Delphi shall continue to reconcile the detail associated with the
Actual Adjustment with a target completion date for such reconciliation of fifteen
(15) days following the MNS-2 payment date on which the above described adjustment
was made. Should a dispute arise regarding the amount of the Actual Adjustment that
cannot be resolved within a commercially reasonable period of time, at either
Party’s election, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with section 3.10 of
this Agreement.
(b) The Price Down Arrangements which are calculated on a percentage basis are intended to
create annualized savings in the amount of the applicable percentage as set forth in Exhibit
3.01(a) to this Agreement. For example, a Price Down Arrangement of two percent (2%)
implemented on July 1 of a given year for a Component Part with a price on June 30 of the same
given year of one hundred dollars ($100.00) will result in a new price on July 1 of ninety-eight
dollars ($98.00) for such Component Part. (The foregoing example assumes that the pricing for the
subject Component Part does not include any price escalation related to raw material price
increases.) Such percentage-based Price Down Arrangements shall apply uniformly on a
product-by-product basis unless otherwise noted in Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement. The
actual percentage of savings may vary from that set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a) to this
Agreement based on volume and product mix. For those Price Down Arrangements calculated based on
part number level unit price changes, as opposed to a percentage basis (as noted on Exhibit
3.01(a) to this Agreement), the specific price basis reductions shall control over the
percentage specified in Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement. For Component Parts where metal
escalation is utilized, applicable Price Down Arrangements shall be applied using standard
practices, whereby the price reductions are calculated from the base prices excluding those metals
subject to escalation provisions.
(c) Where specifically provided in Exhibit 3.01(a), DAS shall honor the price
reductions provided for in Existing Agreements (the “Contractual Savings”) in addition to
the applicable Price Down Arrangements. In addition, for each Component Part that is not
identified
MRA-28
in Exhibit 3.01(a), DAS shall honor the Contractual Savings with respect to each such
Component Part. GM is not entitled to receive, and shall not request or require, directly or
indirectly, additional price reductions from DAS for the Component Parts identified in
Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement; provided, however, that GM is entitled
to receive additional price reductions in connection with (i) technical, engineering and other cost
savings initiatives in accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreements (other than those
technical, engineering and cost savings initiatives identified on Exhibit 3.01(a) to this
Agreement), and (ii) changes in manufacturing location (other than the changes in manufacturing
locations identified on Exhibit 3.03(c) to this Agreement). DAS is entitled to receive
price increases from GM for the Component Parts in connection with technical and engineering
initiatives in accordance with the terms of Existing Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
commercial discussions regarding directed-buy components shall be handled in the ordinary course of
business between the Parties.
(d) Other than as specifically identified on Exhibit 3.01(a), GM is not entitled to
receive, and shall not request or require, directly or indirectly, price reductions from Delphi for
any Component Parts manufactured at any of the Wind-down Facilities.
(e) The applicable Existing Agreements are hereby amended to incorporate the Price Down
Arrangements, and GM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to issue confirming purchase orders
for currently impacted GM Purchase Orders within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date.
Confirming purchase orders for future Price Down Arrangements shall be issued by GM in the course
of GM’s normal business practices. To the extent that any confirming purchase order fails to
reflect the terms set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement or contains terms
inconsistent with the terms set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement, the terms of
this Agreement shall control even if DAS continues to ship the applicable Component Parts following
the issuance of the confirming purchase order.
Section 3.04 New Business Awards at UAW Facilities. GM has agreed to award to Delphi
certain new business under the terms identified in Exhibits A and A-1 of the UAW MOU, which is
incorporated herein by reference, for production at the applicable UAW Facilities referenced
therein. Consistent with the UAW MOU, Delphi shall place and keep all programs awarded to UAW Keep
Facilities pursuant to this section 3.04 at the applicable UAW Keep Facilities for the lifetime of
such programs.
Section 3.05 New Business Awards at IUE-CWA Facilities. GM has agreed to award to Delphi
certain new business under the terms identified in Exhibits A and A-1 of the IUE-CWA MOU, which is
incorporated herein by reference, for production at the applicable IUE-CWA Facilities referenced
therein. Consistent with the IUE-CWA MOU, Delphi shall place and keep all programs awarded to
IUE-CWA Keep Facilities pursuant to this section 3.05 at the applicable IUE-CWA Keep Facilities
until October 12, 2011 or such later date as is set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a) to this
Agreement.
Section 3.06 Reserved.
Section 3.07 Other New Business Awards. GM shall award to Delphi the new business set
forth on Exhibit 3.07 to this Agreement subject to agreement between the Parties on
MRA-29
the pricing and other business terms for such business as set forth in section 3.09 of this
Agreement.
Section 3.08 First Opportunity Process. GM shall provide Delphi with preferential bidding
opportunities with respect to the business set forth in Exhibit 3.08(a) hereto pursuant to
a first opportunity process, the terms and conditions of which are set forth in
Exhibit 3.08(b) hereto.
Section 3.09 Pricing and Other Business Terms for New Business Awards. Pricing and other
business terms for the new business to be awarded pursuant to sections 3.04 through 3.07 of this
Agreement, to the extent not already established, shall be established through good faith
negotiations between the GM commercial team and the Delphi sales team with the intent to award the
applicable business to Delphi on terms mutually acceptable to Delphi and GM. Negotiation of and
agreement on terms of such new business awards shall take into consideration, among other items,
(i) the labor and other applicable cost differentials between the Delphi U.S. manufacturing
location where the applicable Component Parts will be manufactured, (ii) the Delphi non-U.S.
manufacturing locations where the applicable Component Parts could be manufactured, (iii) the U.S.
and non-U.S. manufacturing locations of Delphi’s competitors where the applicable parts could be
manufactured and the relevant pricing available from such competitors, and (iv) the Parties’
respective obligations under the Labor MOUs. In the event that GM and Delphi are unable to reach
agreement on pricing for any specific program or business award, negotiations regarding such
pricing shall be resolved in accordance with section 3.10 of this Agreement. Except as expressly
set forth herein, GM has not agreed to negotiate or waive Standard GM Terms with respect to new
business awarded pursuant to sections 3.04 through 3.07 of this Agreement.
Section 3.10 Dispute Resolution. In the event that a dispute arises among the Parties
relating to any term or provision of Article III (an “Article III Dispute”), upon the
written request of either Party, such Article III Dispute shall be referred to the applicable
Purchasing Executive Director at GM and applicable Product Business Unit or Divisional Sales
Director at Delphi for resolution in good faith. In the event that such directors are unable to
resolve such Article III Dispute, such Article III Dispute shall be referred, at either Party’s
written request, to the Group Vice-President, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain for GM and the
appropriate Delphi Divisional President. If within ten (10) days after such referral, GM’s Group
Vice-President, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain and the Delphi Divisional President are unable
to resolve the Article III Dispute, the Article III Dispute shall be elevated, at either Party’s
request, to either GM’s Chief Financial Officer or GM’s President of GM North America (at GM’s
election) and either Delphi’s Chief Executive Officer or Delphi’s Chief Financial Officer (at
Delphi’s election) for resolution. To the extent that the job title of any of the foregoing
positions is changed, this section 3.10 shall be deemed to apply to such successor title or, if the
position is eliminated or vacated, to the job title of the party taking over the responsibilities
of the eliminated or vacated position.
Section 3.11 Limitations on Global Sourcing.
(a) Other than Global Sourcing as a result of (i) a material breach of the applicable GM
Purchase Order, subject to a commercially reasonable cure period under the
MRA-30
circumstances (understanding that there is no cure period for an actual interruption of GM
assembly operations or the imminent threat of an interruption of GM assembly operations), or (ii)
Delphi’s failure, after a commercially reasonable cure period under the circumstances, to remain
technologically competitive (taking into consideration solely technology and not price) with
respect to a given Component Part, GM shall not engage in Global Sourcing with respect to (x) UAW
Keep Business, UAW Sale Business and IUE-CWA Business, each for the applicable Contract Term, and
(y) for those Component Parts listed on Exhibit 3.01(a) for which GM has agreed to forbear
from Global Sourcing, for the applicable forbearance period specified in Exhibit 3.01(a);
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict GM
in any way from Global Sourcing with respect to any other products or business. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, GM’s ability to Global Source shall in all cases be
consistent with the Labor MOUs.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement, the UAW MOU, the IUE-CWA MOU, the USW MOU, or any Exhibits
hereto prohibits or otherwise limits in any way GM’s ability to conduct benchmarking and/or market
testing activities or enter into discussions, negotiations, and agreements (including, but not
limited to, contingent supply agreements) regarding the production of Component Parts by any
potential alternative supplier(s).
(c) GM shall notify Delphi of its intent to Globally Source any UAW Keep Business or any
IUE-CWA Business in accordance with section 3.11(a)(ii) above at least thirty (30) days prior to
the scheduled implementation of such Global Sourcing. In the event that Delphi reasonably believes
that such Global Sourcing is a breach of GM’s obligations under this Agreement, then at Delphi’s
election the matter shall be resolved in accordance with section 3.10 of this Agreement and GM
shall refrain from Global Sourcing until the thirty (30) day notice period has expired.
Section 3.12 Bidding Opportunities. In addition to the business awards and bidding opportunities provided by the foregoing
provisions of this Article III, where identified for specific Component Parts in Exhibit
3.01(a), Delphi shall be considered “Green” to the business plan through December 31, 2009 or
such longer or shorter period set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a). Such “Green” rating requires
that GM provide Delphi with the full opportunity to quote on the applicable new business,
provided that the Delphi facility producing the applicable Component Part is not placed on
“New Business Hold” in accordance with GM’s normal business practices utilized with other
suppliers. GM agrees that as of the date of this Agreement and other than as specified on
Exhibit 3.12 to this Agreement, no Delphi facilities producing the Components Parts
identified in Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement are on “New Business Hold.” GM shall
consider Delphi’s bids for such business in accordance with GM’s normal business practices utilized
with other suppliers. Delphi acknowledges and agrees that any sourcing of business pursuant to
this section 3.12 shall be in GM’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE IV
FACILITIES PORTFOLIO
Section 4.01 Labor Reimbursement.
(a) Under the terms of, and pursuant to the process set forth in, this section 4.01, GM shall
reimburse Delphi for certain labor costs as set forth below:
(i) 50% of Excess Labor Costs for the Red Circle Period at the Keep Facilities, Sale
Facilities, Footprint Facilities, and Wind-down Facilities;
(ii) 100% of Excess Labor Costs for the period from September 15, 2007, through December 31,
2007, at the UAW Keep Facilities, the Sale Facilities, the UAW Footprint Facilities, and the UAW
Wind-down Facilities; and
(iii) The Applicable Labor Reimbursement Percentage of Excess Labor Costs at the UAW Keep
Facilities for the period from January 1, 2008, through September 14, 2015; provided,
however, that the amounts payable for December of each calendar year 2008 through 2014 and
for September 2015 shall be decreased (in the event the Applicable Labor Reimbursement Percentage
of Excess Labor Costs for such calendar year exceeds the Actual Applicable Labor Reimbursement
Percentage of Excess Labor Costs for such calendar year) or increased (in the event the Applicable
Labor Reimbursement Percentage of Excess Labor Costs for such calendar year is less than the Actual
Applicable Labor Reimbursement Percentage of Excess Labor Costs for such calendar year) by the
Reimbursement Adjustment Amount.
(b) GM’s reimbursement of Excess Labor Costs described in section 4.01(a) of this Agreement
shall be paid by GM pursuant to the following procedure:
(i) Delphi shall endeavor to deliver to GM, no later than sixty (60) days before the Effective
Date, an invoice reflecting actual Excess Labor Costs from October 1, 2006, through August 31,
2007. Delphi shall further endeavor to deliver to GM, no later than 30 days before the Effective
Date, and no earlier than forty-five (45) days before the Effective Date, another invoice
reflecting any actual Excess Labor Costs for all months after August 31, 2007, for which Delphi has
closed its books, and Delphi’s good faith estimate of Excess Labor Costs for all subsequent periods
through the Effective Date. GM shall pay amounts in such invoices containing all information and
representations required by section 4.01(b)(iii) (the “Paid Pre-Effective Date Subsidy”) on
the later of (i) the Effective Date, (ii) the date that is the first business day on or after the
sixtieth (60th) day after Delphi’s delivery of the invoice described in the first sentence of this
section 4.01(b)(i), or (iii) the date that is the first business day on or after the thirtieth
(30th) day after Delphi’s delivery of the invoice described in the second sentence of this section
4.01(b)(i). Delphi shall recalculate, within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date or within
twenty-four (24) days after the year-end close of Delphi’s books, whichever is later, the amount
due for the period preceding the Effective Date based on actual Excess Labor Costs during that
period and provide GM with a statement (the “Pre-Effective Date Subsidy Statement”)
MRA-32
showing the actual amount due under section 4.01(a) (the “Actual Pre-Effective Date
Subsidy”). If the Actual Pre-Effective Date Subsidy exceeds the Paid Pre-Effective Date
Subsidy, GM shall pay to Delphi the difference via wire transfer in immediately available funds
within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Pre-Effective Date Subsidy Statement. If the Actual
Pre-Effective Date Subsidy is less than the Paid Pre-Effective Date Subsidy, Delphi shall pay to GM
the difference via wire transfer in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days of GM’s
receipt of the Pre-Effective Date Subsidy Statement from Delphi.
(ii) Following the Effective Date, Delphi shall invoice GM on a monthly basis for the Excess
Labor Costs that GM is obligated to reimburse Delphi pursuant to section 4.01(a) of this Agreement.
Delphi shall endeavor to deliver such invoices to the Director of Business Development at GM
within twenty (20) days after month-end close of Delphi’s books (if the 20th day falls on a weekend
or holiday, Delphi shall endeavor to deliver the invoice to GM by the next business day).
(iii) Such monthly invoices and invoices described in section 4.01(b)(i) hereof shall be in
the form set forth on Exhibit 4.01(a) to this Agreement and shall include all supporting
documentation referenced in Exhibit 4.01(a) to this Agreement and a representation from
Delphi that such documentation is substantially complete and substantially accurate in all
respects. GM and Delphi agree to work together in good faith to amend the form of invoices if
necessary due to changed circumstances. In addition, unless Delphi otherwise consents, the
invoices described herein and any information included in or specifically taken from such invoices,
except to the extent such information is publicly available or can be obtained from other sources
that are not, to GM’s knowledge, subject to an obligation of confidentiality, (i) shall be used
solely for the purpose of confirming the amount of Excess Labor Costs and (ii) shall not be
disclosed to any member of GM GPSC.
(iv) Prior to December 1 of each year (including 2007), Delphi shall provide to GM a
non-binding forecast of amounts that Delphi projects GM will be required to pay pursuant to this
section 4.01 for the following two (2) calendar years, and GM and Delphi shall work together to
update the first year of such forecast on a quarterly basis; provided, however,
that the amount of GM’s obligation to pay any amount pursuant to this section 4.01 shall not be
increased or decreased to equal any such forecast amounts, and Delphi’s right to receive payments
from GM shall not be affected by the amount of such forecast amounts.
(v) GM shall pay all amounts in each monthly invoice referred to in section 4.01(b)(ii)
containing all information and representations required by this section 4.01(b) within twenty (20)
days following receipt of the invoice or as otherwise agreed by GM and Delphi (if the 20th day
falls on a weekend or holiday, GM shall pay Delphi on the next business day). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement, any payment by GM or Delphi
of any amount pursuant to this section 4.01 shall be subject to the right of GM or Delphi, as
applicable, to offset all or part of such payment as provided in section 7.01 hereof.
(c) Delphi shall (i) permit GM (excluding the members of GM GPSC) and/or its agents, at GM’s
expense, to audit Delphi’s books and records relating to Excess Labor Costs, and (ii) reasonably
cooperate with GM and its agents in any such audit activities in a timely
MRA-33
manner; provided, however, that (x) GM shall provide Delphi with reasonable
advance written notice identifying the records and information that GM intends to audit, (y) GM
shall reasonably cooperate with Delphi and its agents in any such audit activities, and (z) GM
shall, before seeking to audit Delphi’s books and records regarding Excess Labor Costs, request
that Delphi provide reasonably sufficient supporting information with respect to any inquiry by GM
regarding Excess Labor Costs. In addition, unless Delphi otherwise consents, any and all
information obtained by or through any audit of Delphi’s books and/or records by GM and/or its
agents, except to the extent such information is publicly available or can be obtained from other
sources that are not, to GM’s knowledge, subject to an obligation of confidentiality, (i) shall be
used solely for the purpose of confirming the amount of Excess Labor Costs, and (ii) shall not be
disclosed to any member of GM GPSC.
(d) Delphi agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the use of temporary
employees and minimize the use of skilled labor, as work rules allow, with a goal of achieving a
more competitive Labor Cost Amount, provided that Delphi’s right to receive payments from GM shall
not be affected by any failure to achieve a more competitive Labor Cost Amount.
Section 4.02 Production Cash Burn Breakeven.
(a) With respect to any of the Sale Facilities or UAW Footprint Facilities (the “Support
Facilities”) for which GM requires production at any time on or after January 1, 2008, GM
agrees, under the terms and pursuant to the process set forth in this section 4.02, to reimburse
Delphi for the Applicable Production Cash Burn Percentage of Production Cash Burn at such facility
from January 1, 2008 (or such later date agreed to by GM and Delphi) through the Support End Date
for such facility (a “Support Period”); provided, however, that to the
extent that net sales attributable to any Support Facility exceed the sum of cash expenditures and
accrued expenses included in the definition of Production Cash Burn for such Support Facility
during its Support Period, such excess amount shall offset amounts that GM would otherwise pay in
respect of other Support Facilities for which GM is reimbursing Production Cash Burn during such
Support Period.
(b) GM shall reimburse Delphi as required in section 4.02(a) of this Agreement pursuant to the
following procedure:
(i) Following the Effective Date, Delphi shall invoice GM on a calendar month basis for the
aggregate amount of the Applicable Production Cash Burn Percentage of Production Cash Burn actually
incurred at all Support Facilities during the applicable month. Delphi shall deliver the invoice
to the Director of Business Development at GM by the 20th day of the month following each invoice
period (if the 20th day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, Delphi shall endeavor to
deliver the invoice to GM by the next business day).
(ii) Each monthly invoice for the aggregate amount of the Applicable Production Cash Burn
Percentage of Production Cash Burn actually incurred at all Support Facilities shall be in the form
of Exhibit 4.02(b) hereto, shall have attached as supporting detail an invoice for each
Support Facility (also in the form of Exhibit 4.02(b) hereto), and include a
MRA-34
representation from Delphi that the attached supporting detail is substantially complete and
substantially accurate in all respects. GM and Delphi agree to work together in good faith to
amend the form of invoice if necessary due to changed circumstances.
(iii) GM shall pay all amounts in each invoice containing all information and representations
required by section 4.02(b)(ii) within thirty (30) days following receipt of the invoice or as
otherwise agreed by GM and Delphi (if the 30th day following receipt of the invoice falls on a
weekend or holiday, GM shall pay Delphi on the next business day). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement, any payment by GM or Delphi of any amount
pursuant to this section 4.02 shall be subject to the right of GM or Delphi, as applicable, to
offset all or part of such payment as provided in section 7.01 hereof.
(iv) If any monthly invoice submitted under this section 4.02 reflects an aggregate positive
cash flow for all Support Facilities during the applicable month, the amount of the aggregate
positive cash flow shall be a credit to GM solely against any future amounts GM owes Delphi
pursuant to this section 4.02. For the avoidance of doubt, Delphi shall not be obligated to make
any cash payment to GM with respect to any credit under this section 4.02 nor shall any credits
under this section 4.02 be applied against any sums owed by GM under any other provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement.
(c) Delphi shall (i) with respect to the Flint East Facility, permit an outside auditor, at
GM’s expense, to audit Delphi’s books and records relating to Production Cash Burn, (ii) with
respect to all other Support Facilities, permit GM (excluding the members of GM GPSC) and/or its
agents, at GM’s expense, to audit Delphi’s books and records relating to Production Cash Burn, and
(iii) reasonably cooperate with GM and/or its agents in any such audit activities in a timely
manner; provided, however, that (w) GM shall provide Delphi with reasonable advance
written notice identifying the records and information that GM intends to audit, (x) GM shall
reasonably cooperate with Delphi and its agents in any such audit activities, (y) GM shall, before
seeking to audit Delphi’s books and records regarding Production Cash Burn, request that Delphi
provide reasonably sufficient supporting information with respect to any inquiry by GM regarding
Production Cash Burn, and (z) any and all information obtained by or through any audit of Delphi’s
books and records shall not be disclosed to any member of GM GPSC, except to the extent such
information is publicly available or can be obtained from other sources that are not, to GM’s
knowledge, subject to an obligation of confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything contained herein,
neither GM nor any of its agents shall be entitled to audit pursuant to this section 4.02(c) Delphi
or Delphi’s books and records until GM has commenced making the payments required pursuant to
section 4.02 hereof.
(d) In consideration of GM’s acceptance of responsibility for certain Supplemental
Unemployment Benefits and Severance at the Footprint Sites, GM shall receive a credit in the full
amount of the first $10 million for which GM is responsible under this section 4.02. The monthly
invoices delivered by Delphi pursuant to this section 4.02 shall reflect and shall be reduced by
the amount of the $10 million credit, with the credit applied dollar for dollar against the first
and each subsequent invoice until applied in full.
MRA-35
(e) On or before the date on which payment pursuant to this section 4.02 would be due from GM
to Delphi with respect to the invoice pertaining to December of any year, Delphi shall pay to GM,
with respect to each Sale Facility (so long as it was also a Support Facility at any point during
such year), via wire transfer in immediately available funds an amount (the “Warranty Cost
Amount”) equal to one-third of the amount by which warranty costs associated with such facility
during the portion of such calendar year such Sale Facility was a Support Facility exceeded an
amount equal to the product of (x) the number of months during the year for which GM was obligated
to cover warranty costs under Production Cash Burn and (y) 125% of (i) in respect of the Sandusky
Facility, $0; (ii) in respect of the Xxxxxx Facility, $0; (iii) in respect of the Saginaw Steering
Facility, $1,148,000; and/or (iv) with respect of the Athens Facility, $20,000 (for each such
facility, the “Base Monthly Warranty Level”), i.e.: one-third of (the warranty cost
associated with the applicable facility for the portion of the current year the Sale Facility was a
Support Facility — the number of months the Sale Facility was a Support Facility during the current
year x 125% of Base Monthly Warranty Cost). If the warranty costs during any month in respect of
any Sale Facility (so long as it is also a Support Facility) are more than the greater of $1
million or 200% of the Base Monthly Warranty Level, then, on or before the date on which payment
pursuant to this section 4.02 would be due from GM to Delphi for such month, Delphi shall pay to GM
via wire transfer in immediately available funds an amount equal to one-third of the amount by
which the warranty costs exceed 125% of the Base Monthly Warranty Level; provided,
however, that (i) the amount of any annual payment otherwise required to be made by Delphi
pursuant to the first sentence of this section in respect of the year in which any monthly payment
is made by Delphi pursuant to this sentence shall be reduced by the amount of any such monthly
payment and (ii) if the aggregate amount of monthly payments made by Delphi pursuant to this
sentence in any calendar year exceeds the amount of any annual payment otherwise required to be
made by Delphi pursuant to the first sentence of this section in respect of such calendar year, GM
shall pay to Delphi via wire transfer in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days of
receipt by GM of the invoice under this section 4.02 for the month of December of such year an
amount equal to such excess.
(f) On or before December 1st of each year (including 2007), Delphi shall provide to the
Director of Business Development at GM a forecast of Production Cash Burn for the following two
calendar years for each Support Facility and GM shall review each forecast and provide any feedback
on or before December 15th of each year. Actual Production Cash Burn shall be tracked
against each annual forecast on a monthly basis. GM and Delphi shall work together to update each
annual forecast on a quarterly basis for the current calendar year. The amount of GM’s obligation
to reimburse Delphi pursuant to this section 4.02 shall not be increased or decreased to reflect
any amounts forecasted pursuant to this section 4.02(f).
(g) At GM’s direction, Delphi shall implement an incentive payment structure (the form and
substance of which shall be subject to Delphi’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld)
separate from and in addition to Delphi’s current incentive payment structure, pursuant to terms
designed by GM to meet certain objectives for Delphi’s salaried employees at the Support
Facilities, and any amounts paid by Delphi under such incentive payment structure shall be included
as part of cost for purposes of the Production Cash Burn calculation; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall require GM to direct Delphi to implement an incentive payment structure, and payments made under an incentive payment
MRA-36
structure shall not be included as part of the Production Cash Burn calculation unless GM
directs its implementation in writing.
(h) On January 1, 2008, GM shall accelerate its payment terms (for all payments made by GM
after such date) to “net 10 days” for products purchased by GM from Support Facilities that are not
also Sale Facilities. The accelerated payment terms for each such Support Facility shall end on
the Support End Date for such Support Facility.
(i) GM and Delphi have agreed to work together to minimize excess and obsolete materials with
respect to the Support Facilities in accordance with the letter from Xxxx Xxxxxx, of GM, to Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx, of Delphi, dated February 1, 2007, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.02(i).
GM and Delphi have further agreed to handle extended fabrication and material obligations as set
forth in such letter.
(j) Any inventory banks requested by GM at any Support Facility shall be produced by Delphi
through the order schedule as outlined in section 4.02(h) of this Agreement. The size and build
schedule for any such inventory banks shall be mutually agreed upon by GM and Delphi. GM shall
purchase the inventory upon production by Delphi and receipt of an invoice, subject to “net 10 day”
payment terms. At GM’s written direction, Delphi shall warehouse and maintain such inventory at
GM’s cost.
(k) Current GM contract terms, including pricing, shall remain in force with no pricing
changes to be proposed for GM products produced at the Support Facilities, except as provided in
Exhibit 3.01(a) to this Agreement.
(l) Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the Production Cash Burn at
each Support Facility.
(m) GM may, in its sole discretion, assist the Delphi purchasing organization, as requested by
Delphi, in the negotiation and purchase of material for the Support Facilities after December 31,
2007.
(n) After such time as GM makes its first payment to Delphi under this section 4.02, GM may,
in its sole discretion, designate GM employee(s) or advisor(s), compensated by GM, to work at any
Support Facility (except for the Flint East Facility) as advisors to Delphi to help minimize
Production Cash Burn after (i) in the case of the Needmore Road Facility, the Saginaw E&C Facility,
the Sandusky Facility, or the Xxxxxx Facility December 31, 2007, and (ii) in the case of the
Saginaw Steering Facility or the Athens Facility, December 31, 2008. As necessary to support GM’s
efforts to reduce Production Cash Burn, Delphi shall provide such GM representatives with access to
the operations of the Support Facilities (except for the Flint East Facility) as well as to the
books and records relating to such Support Facilities. The GM representatives may also review
ongoing expenditures at any such Support Facility during the Support Period for such Support
Facility.
(o) GM, with the concurrence of Delphi, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, may, but
shall not be required to, extend employment offers to Delphi salaried employees affiliated with the
products or operations of the Support Facilities after (i) in the case of any employee associated

MRA-37
employee associated with the Needmore Road Facility and the Saginaw E&C Facility, December 31,
2007, (iii) in the case of any employee associated with the Saginaw Steering Facility or the Athens
Facility, December 31, 2008, and (iv) in the case of any employee associated with the Sandusky
Facility or the Xxxxxx Facility, December 31, 2007; provided, however, that with
respect to any Sale Facility, GM’s right to extend employment offers pursuant to this section
4.02(o) shall be suspended so long as there is a sale of such Sale Facility pending pursuant to a
signed memorandum of understanding or purchase agreement. GM may, but shall not be required to,
locate employees that XX xxxxx under this section 4.02(o) at any Support Facility until such
Support Facility is wound-down or its ownership is transferred to a party other than Delphi;
provided, however, that no salaried employees employed by GM shall hold or be
deemed by Delphi or GM to hold a managerial position at any Support Facility.
Section 4.03 Sunset Requirements.
(a) GM has agreed, pursuant to section B of and Attachment A to the UAW MOU, to, among other

operations or for employment of UAW-represented employees by dates specified in the UAW MOU in
respect of the Saginaw Steering Facility, the Sandusky Facility, the Xxxxxx Facility, the Flint
East Facility, the Needmore Road Facility and the Saginaw E&C Facility. For the avoidance of
doubt, GM shall have no obligations (and shall not be responsible for any liabilities) in respect
of such facilities, other than obligations expressly set forth in the UAW MOU, this Agreement or
the Settlement Agreement, or such obligations, if any, expressly set forth in any Existing
Agreements. Delphi agrees that it shall not seek any compensation from GM, the UAW or any other
party in consideration of Delphi’s cessation of responsibility pursuant to section B of the UAW MOU
except as provided for in this Agreement, the Settlement Agreement or any Existing Agreements.
(b) GM and Delphi acknowledge that Delphi expects to cease GM production at the Athens
Facility on or before December 31, 2009. GM and Delphi agree to use commercially reasonable
efforts to relocate or source, on or before such date, production of all Component Parts which are
manufactured at the Athens Facility, which relocation shall be coordinated with and approved by GM
in accordance with GM’s Business Transfer Approval Board process (the “BTAB Process”). In
the event the production of Component Parts for GM at the Athens Facility has not been completely
relocated or sourced to other facilities by December 31, 2009 due to technical, sourcing or
manufacturing- based impediments, and despite the Parties’ having used commercially reasonable
efforts to meet the December 31, 2009 date, GM and Delphi shall mutually discuss and reasonably
cooperate to address any additional production that is necessary to support GM following such date.
In connection with the closure of the Athens Facility, GM agrees to utilize commercially reasonable
efforts to coordinate the timing of flowback opportunities in the most cost-effective manner
practicable. Delphi agrees that a condition of any sale of the Athens Facility shall be that the
buyer agrees in writing to comply with this section 4.03(b). GM agrees that there shall be no
adverse economic impact to Delphi related to hourly and salaried separation costs and costs of
moving equipment in connection with any closure of the Athens Facility, and GM shall be responsible
for any such costs borne by Delphi. Delphi and GM agree that if the Athens Facility is sold, the
buyer (who will reap the long-term benefit of closure of the Athens Facility) shall bear the entire
economic impact of closure of the Athens Facility, including, without limitation, hourly and
salaried separation costs
MRA-38
and costs of moving equipment, provided that GM shall provide flowback opportunities
to GM locations or otherwise satisfy long-term employment commitments for approximately 390 Athens
former Tier I employees.
(c) GM and Delphi acknowledge that Delphi expects to close the Columbus Facility on or before
December 31, 2007. GM and Delphi agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to relocate or
source, on or before such date, production of all Component Parts which are manufactured at the
Columbus Facility, which relocation shall be coordinated with and approved by GM in accordance with
GM’s BTAB Process, subject to Delphi’s right to close the Columbus Facility no later than December
31, 2008. In the event the production of Component Parts at the Columbus Facility will not be
relocated or sourced to other facilities by December 31, 2007 due to technical, sourcing or
manufacturing-based impediments, and GM desires that Delphi continue operations at the Columbus
Facility to support GM production, despite the Parties’ having used commercially reasonable efforts
to meet the December 31, 2007 date, GM shall provide Delphi with sixty (60) days’ prior written
notice and GM and Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite the relocation of
production from the Columbus Facility, in which case Delphi shall continue to operate the Columbus
Facility in support of GM’s production requirements until a date to be agreed upon by GM and
Delphi, provided that Delphi shall not be obligated to operate such facility beyond
December 31, 2008. In addition, the Parties agree to engage in good faith discussions regarding
whether the Columbus Facility would be eligible for the Production Cash Burn subsidy under section
4.02 for the period after January 1, 2008. Delphi agrees that a condition of any sale of the
Columbus Facility shall be that the buyer agrees in writing to comply with this section 4.03(c).
(d) GM and Delphi acknowledge that Delphi expects to close the Milwaukee E&C Facility on or
before December 31, 2007. GM and Delphi agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to relocate
or source, on or before such date, production of all Component Parts which are manufactured at the
Milwaukee E&C Facility, which relocation shall be coordinated with and approved by GM in accordance
with GM’s BTAB Process, subject to Delphi’s right to close the Milwaukee E&C Facility no later than
December 31, 2008. In the event the production of Component Parts at the Milwaukee E&C Facility
will not be relocated or sourced to other facilities by December 31, 2007 due to technical,
sourcing or manufacturing-based impediments, and GM desires that Delphi continue operations at the
Milwaukee E&C Facility to support GM production, despite the Parties’ having used commercially
reasonable efforts to meet the December 31, 2007 date, GM shall provide Delphi with sixty (60)
days’ prior written notice and GM and Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite
the relocation of production from the Milwaukee E&C Facility, in which case Delphi shall continue
to operate the Milwaukee E&C Facility in support of GM’s production requirements until a date to be
agreed upon by GM and Delphi, provided that Delphi shall not be obligated to operate such
facility beyond December 31, 2008. In addition, the Parties agree to engage in good faith
discussions regarding whether the Milwaukee E&C Facility would be eligible for the Production Cash
Burn subsidy under section 4.02 for the period after January 1, 2008. Delphi agrees that a
condition of any sale of the Milwaukee E&C Facility shall be that the buyer agrees in writing to
comply with this section 4.03(d).

(a) GM shall have the right to consent to the identity of any buyer or buyers of all or any
part of the Global Steering Business, Global Interiors & Closures Business, and/or the Sandusky
Business which is sold as a going concern and to the amount of proceeds to be paid upon the sale or
sales of any of such businesses if less than the Net Working Capital associated with the applicable
business; provided, however, that the right to consent to the identity of any buyer
or buyers shall not apply to any sale of assets that are no longer used for GM production,
including the Athens Facility and Columbus Facility (at such time as such facilities are no longer
used for GM production); and provided further, that any proceeds from the sale of
such assets (except for the Athens Facility, the Columbus Facility and de minimis surplus asset
sales) shall be treated as Sale Proceeds under section 4.04.
(b) Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the proceeds from and value
of the Global Steering Business, Global Interiors & Closures Business, and the Sandusky Business
(including working with GM to evaluate standalone options for such businesses or Facilities that
are not sold on or prior to January 1, 2008); provided that nothing contained herein shall
relieve GM of its obligation under section 4.06 hereof.
(c) GM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a revenue plan with potential
buyers of the Global Steering Business, Global Interiors & Closures Business, and/or the Sandusky
Business to facilitate sales of such facilities; provided, however, that GM shall

MRA-45
Section 4.06 Treatment of Unsold Businesses and the Transfer of Certain Employees.
(a) Unsold Business Option
(i) In accordance with the terms of this section 4.06, Delphi on behalf of itself and its
applicable Affiliates (each a “Business Optionor” and collectively, the “Business
Optionors”) hereby grants to one or more parties designated by GM in its discretion (each a
“Business Optionee” and collectively, the “Business Optionees”), the options (each
an “Unsold Business Option” and collectively, “Unsold Business Options”) to
purchase the Global Steering Business, the Sandusky Business, the Global Interiors & Closures
Business and the Saginaw E&C Assets (each an “Unsold Business” and collectively, the
“Unsold Businesses”) each for $1.00, to be effectuated through one or more asset sales,
stock or other equity interest sales, real estate leases, machinery and equipment leases (with
respect to machinery and equipment located in facilities which are to be leased to the applicable
Business Optionee) and assignments and assumptions (each a “Business Transaction” and
collectively, the “Business Transactions”), or a combination thereof, as reasonably
determined by the applicable Business Optionee (except to the extent Delphi is expressly entitled
to determine the structure under this section 4.06).
(ii) Each Business Transaction shall be structured such that the Business Optionee shall
assume the Assumed Liabilities and Delphi and the Business Optionor, as applicable, shall retain
the Retained Liabilities each with respect to the applicable Unsold Business. In addition, in
connection with such Business Transaction, the Business Optionee shall offer employment to the U.S.
salaried employees of the Unsold Business on terms substantially comparable in the aggregate to the
terms of their employment with Delphi or its Affiliates for one year following the date of the
closing of the applicable Business Transaction (the “Business Closing Date”), and, in the
case of non-U.S. employees, the Business Optionee shall assume the employment contracts and all
related obligations of the Unsold Business in accordance with applicable legal, works council and
union agreement requirements. Also, the assets to be transferred in connection with each Business
Transaction shall be accepted by the Business Optionee on an as-is, where-is basis. GM may
designate only one Business Optionee at a time for each Unsold Business (unless Delphi otherwise
consents, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), provided that GM may designate
separate Business Optionees with respect to discrete regional operations or lines of business which
are a part of the Unsold Business where such discrete regional operations or lines of business may
reasonably be sold as a separate ongoing concern. The Business Optionee and GM shall be
responsible for all costs associated with any such sales or, to the extent provided in section
4.06(a)(vii) below, the preparation therefor regardless of whether the sale to such Business
Optionee closes.
(iii) To the extent that an Unsold Business includes a contract or other obligations,
including without limitation non-compete or non-solicitation agreements, which would restrict or
inhibit a Business Optionee or any of its Affiliates from engaging in, owning an interest in any
Person engaged in, or providing support (financial or otherwise) to any Person engaged in, any line
of business, Delphi shall at the request of the applicable Business Optionee use commercially
reasonable efforts to terminate such contract or obligations and, at the election of the applicable
Business Optionee, such contract or obligation shall be excluded (at the cost
MRA-46
and expense of the Business Optionee) from the contracts and obligations being transferred or
assumed by the Business Optionee pursuant to a Business Transaction; and in such case, Delphi, the
applicable Business Optionor and GM shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to
provide the Business Optionee with the rights and benefits of such excluded contract or obligation
(other than with respect to joint ventures). To the extent that an Unsold Business includes a
contract or obligations pursuant to which a third party has a preemptive or similar right to
purchase any asset (including an equity interest in a joint venture) which constitutes a portion of
the Unsold Business, Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party not
to exercise such right and at the election of the applicable Business Optionee, such assets shall
be excluded (at the cost and expense of the Business Optionee) from the assets being transferred or
assumed by the Business Optionee pursuant to a Business Transaction; and in such case, Delphi, the
applicable Business Optionor and GM shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to
provide the Business Optionee with the rights and benefits of such asset (other than with respect
to joint ventures). With respect to the Saginaw E&C Assets, Delphi shall be entitled to retain the
working capital with respect to such Unsold Business.
(iv) The Parties agree that in connection with a Business Transaction Delphi may as reasonably
determined by Delphi in order to reduce the cost of the applicable Business Transaction, (A)
transfer the assets to be sold in connection with an Unsold Business and Assumed Liabilities to be
assumed in connection with the purchase of the Unsold Business to a newly-formed subsidiary with no
other operations or operational history, and transfer the equity interests of such new subsidiary
to the Business Optionee, or (B) in the case of wholly-owned subsidiaries that are engaged in no
business other than the Unsold Business, transfer the equity interests of such subsidiaries to the
Business Optionee. In no event shall the Business Optionee assume or otherwise become liable for
any liabilities or obligations that are not Assumed Liabilities, Delphi and the Business Optionor
shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold GM and each Business Optionee harmless
from and against all such liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
liabilities and obligations of any joint venture comprising part of an Unsold Business will not be
affected by this Agreement and such liabilities and obligations shall remain liabilities and
obligations of the joint venture, and Delphi and its Affiliates (other than the joint venture)
shall have no liability or obligation with respect thereto.
(v) Each Business Transaction shall be subject to customary and appropriate documentation
reasonably acceptable to Delphi and the Business Optionee. The Business Optionor and Delphi shall
jointly and severally warrant to the applicable Business Optionee that, other than assets excluded
from the relevant Unsold Business definition, the assets and rights transferred to the Business
Optionee, together with the rights and transition services provided for hereunder, are sufficient
to operate the applicable Unsold Business in substantially the same manner as operated prior to the
Business Closing Date. In addition, the Business Optionor shall provide a customary warranty to
the Business Optionee that it is being transferred marketable title to all stock, equity interests
and assets to be transferred to the Business Optionee, free and clear of all liens, claims and
Encumbrances, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. The Business Optionees and the Business
Optionor shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to and shall execute and deliver,
any documents or instruments, reasonably necessary to, perfect or confirm all transfers,
assignments and assumptions in connection with each Business Transaction, including making all
appropriate regulatory filings as soon as
MRA-47
practicable and obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals in advance of the Business
Outside Date (as defined below); provided that in no event shall a Business Optionee be obligated
to dispose of or divest itself of any line of business or restrict itself from engaging in a line
of business in order to obtain any regulatory approvals. To the extent a third party consent or
approval is not obtained with respect to any third party contract or agreement in connection with a
Business Transaction, the applicable contract or agreement shall be excluded from the Business
Transaction and Delphi shall and shall cause its Affiliates to use reasonable efforts to provide
the benefits therefrom to the Business Optionee.
(vi) Each Unsold Business Option may be exercised by a Business Optionee (A) with respect to
the Global Interiors & Closures Business, the Sandusky Business and the Saginaw E&C Assets, on or
after the earlier of (1) the date Delphi and GM agree in writing that Delphi’s marketing efforts
have concluded for the applicable Unsold Business and (2) September 30, 2008; and (B) with respect
to the Global Steering Business, on or after the earlier of (1) the date Delphi and GM agree in
writing that Delphi’s marketing efforts have concluded for such business and (2) August 31, 2010;
provided, however, that the Unsold Business Option with respect to each Unsold
Business shall terminate and expire upon any sale of such Unsold Business by Delphi. In the event
that an Unsold Business Option with respect to any of the Global Interiors & Closures Business, the
Sandusky Business, and the Saginaw E&C Assets is not exercised on or before December 31, 2008, or
if such option has been exercised but the applicable Business Closing Date has not occurred on or
before December 31, 2008, the Unsold Business Option relating to the applicable Unsold Business
shall terminate. In the event that an Unsold Business Option with respect to the Global Steering
Business is not exercised on or before December 31, 2010, or if such option has been exercised but
the Business Closing Date with respect to the Global Steering Business has not occurred on or
before December 31, 2010, the Unsold Business Option relating to the Global Steering Business shall
terminate. If the Unsold Business Option is exercised in accordance with this section 4.06, the
exercising Business Optionee and Delphi shall take all commercially reasonable actions to close the
applicable Business Transaction for such Unsold Business Option on or before the applicable
termination dates provided for in the previous two sentences (each a “Business Outside
Date” and collectively, the “Business Outside Dates”). The Unsold Business Option
shall be exercised through notice to Delphi provided in accordance with section 7.19 hereof. Such
notice shall be in writing. In addition, GM shall in writing notify Delphi of the identity of the
Business Optionees as promptly as practicable, but in any event, at least 45 days prior to the
applicable Business Closing Date.
(vii) At each Business Optionee’s expense, such Business Optionee may begin preparations for
the exercise of the Unsold Business Option, without any obligation to exercise such option (A) on
or after April 1, 2008, with respect to the Global Interiors & Closures Business, the Sandusky
Business, and the Saginaw E&C Assets, and (B) on or after April 1, 2010 with respect to the Global
Steering Business, subject to, in each case, the execution of reasonable and customary
confidentiality agreements. Delphi shall reasonably cooperate and assist any Business Optionee in
its preparations and shall undertake such actions as such Business Optionee reasonably requests in
order to complete such preparations, subject to reimbursement by the applicable Business Optionee
of Delphi’s actual costs incurred relating to such preparations. Such preparations may include,
without limitation, due diligence (including discussions regarding facilities relocation plans for
stated facilities), information technology
MRA-48
systems conversion, payroll systems conversion, and inventory systems conversion, as well as
other actions necessary or reasonably desirable in preparing for the establishment of each of the
Global Steering Business, the Sandusky Business, the Global Interiors & Closures Business and the
Saginaw E&C Assets as separate operating entities.
(viii) Upon the applicable Business Closing Date, Delphi shall, except as provided in the
following sentence, take all necessary and appropriate actions to allow the Business Optionee to
acquire ownership or use of, or to receive the benefit of, as applicable, and the Business Optionee
shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to receive and accept ownership, use or the
benefit of, all contracts, leases, license agreements and other agreements with third parties, and
all other assets (including all equipment, machinery and tools) owned by Delphi that are primarily
used in the applicable Unsold Business. Ownership of all intellectual property primarily used in
the operation of the applicable Unsold Business shall be transferred by Delphi (and/or the Business
Optionor as appropriate) to GM. The Parties further agree that (A) with respect to any
intellectual property transferred by Delphi that is used in any of Delphi’s or its Affiliates’
other businesses or facilities, GM grants to Delphi, with the right to sublicense to its
Affiliates, successors, assigns and/or designated suppliers, a perpetual, fully paid up, worldwide,
non-exclusive irrevocable license under such intellectual property to make, have made, use, have
used, sell, offer to sell, import, export, reproduce, copy, prepare derivative works, and
distribute all products of the type produced by Delphi or any of its Affiliates as of the Business
Closing Date and any derivatives and/or re-use/extension thereof other than the GM products
associated with the business acquired by the Business Optionee, and (B) with respect to any
intellectual property retained by the Business Optionor or Delphi that is also used in connection
with the applicable Unsold Business, the Business Optionor or Delphi, as appropriate, grants to GM,
with the right to sublicense to its Affiliates, successors, assigns and/or designated suppliers, a
perpetual, fully paid up, worldwide, non-exclusive irrevocable license under such intellectual
property to make, have made, use, have used, sell, offer to sell, import, export, reproduce, copy,
prepare derivative works, and distribute all products of the type produced by such Unsold Business
as of the Business Closing Date and any derivatives and/or re-use/extension thereof. The
provisions of subsections (A) and (B) hereof are sufficient to constitute a license and no further
actions are required by any party to give effect to the terms thereof. GM shall release Delphi and
the Business Optionor from any liabilities and obligations relating to the period commencing after
the applicable Business Closing Date in connection with any production obligations under any
applicable Purchase Orders or supply contracts to GM relating to the Unsold Business. If an Unsold
Business Option is exercised, Delphi or the Business Optionor shall assist, at the Business
Optionee’s cost (except for information technology costs to the extent Delphi has been compensated
for such costs under section 4.04), in the conversion of the information technology, payroll and
inventory systems at the applicable Unsold Business.
(ix) If, in connection with a Business Transaction, a Business Optionee determines to lease an
Unsold Business facility, such lease or leases (A) shall be “triple net”, (B) shall provide for no
rent payments, (C) shall include an option exercisable at any time prior to the termination of such
lease by the Business Optionee or its assignee, to purchase the such facility for $1.00 and (D)
shall have a lease term until December 31, 2015 with two (2) four (4) year renewal options and
contain such other terms which shall be reasonably acceptable to Delphi and the Business Optionee,
and provided that the Business Optionee shall have the right
MRA-49
to terminate the applicable lease at any time without liability directly related to such
termination on six (6) month’s prior written notice to Delphi. The Business Optionee shall remain
responsible for any liabilities that arose under such lease prior to the termination thereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Parties expressly agree that in order for a Business
Optionee to have the right to execute a lease of any facility in connection with an Unsold Business
Option, Delphi shall have the right to require that all facilities, machinery and equipment that
are a part of such Unsold Business (other than any such facilities, machinery or equipment which
are owned by an entity, the equity of which would be directly or indirectly transferred to the
Business Optionee) shall be leased to such Business Optionee under a lease on terms set forth in
the first sentence of this section 4.06(a)(ix). With respect to any facility and machinery and
equipment owned by an entity, the equity interests of which were transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Business Optionee, the Business Optionee shall have the right to transfer, no
later than December 31, 2023, the applicable facility and machinery and equipment to the applicable
Business Optionor or its designee for $1 upon six (6) months notice.
(x) In connection with a Business Transaction, at a Business Optionee’s request, Delphi shall
enter into reasonable and customary transition services agreements for up to a twelve (12) month
period following the Business Closing Date to facilitate the operation of the applicable businesses
after the exercise of such option, subject to the Business Optionee’s agreement to reimburse Delphi
for its and its Affiliates actual costs and expenses incurred in providing such transition
services. At the option of the Business Optionee, Delphi shall extend any such transition services
agreement for an additional three month period, subject to the Business Optionee’s agreement to
reimburse and compensate Delphi for one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of its and its
Affiliates actual costs and expenses incurred in providing such transition services. Following the
expiration of such additional three month period, at the option of the Business Optionee but upon
at least 90 days prior written notice to Delphi, Delphi shall extend any such transition services
agreement for an additional three month period, subject to the Business Optionee’s agreement to
reimburse and compensate Delphi for one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of its and its Affiliates
actual costs and expenses incurred in providing such transition services.
(xi) In connection with the documentation of a Business Transaction, the applicable Business
Optionee shall agree to supply products as by directed by Delphi or its Affiliates in connection
with product warranty or product recalls for a period of six months after the Business Closing Date
at factory-level cost plus engineering cost (without xxxx-up) for any warranty-related Retained
Liabilities; thereafter the applicable Business Optionee shall agree to supply products to Delphi
or its Affiliates in connection with product warranty or product recalls at 110% of factory-level
cost plus engineering cost.
(xii) Delphi and each applicable Business Optionor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the
applicable Business Optionee and GM against the Retained Liabilities, the Delphi Retained
Employment Liabilities and all other obligations of Delphi or any Business Optionor hereunder to be
performed in connection with any Business Transaction and GM and the applicable Business Optionee
shall indemnify Delphi for all Assumed Liabilities and other obligations hereunder to be performed
by the Business Optionee in connection with such Business Transaction. Delphi and each applicable
Business Optionor shall jointly and severally cause to be paid or performed when due each of the
Retained Liabilities to the extent
MRA-50
that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact or effect on
GM, a Business Optionee or any of their respective Affiliates.
(xiii) In connection with the exercise of any Unsold Business Option, and prior to the closing
of any Business Transaction, GM shall cause any Business Optionee to consult with Delphi and, the
Business Optionee may consult with Delphi and, provided that Delphi is given a reasonable
opportunity to make the first communication, the Business Optionee may consult with any customers
of such Unsold Business, to discuss the potential impact of any Business Transaction on the ongoing
commercial relationship between such Unsold Business and any such customers.
(xiv) With respect to the Saginaw E&C Assets, GM agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to accomplish the completion of the sale of the Saginaw E&C Assets as soon as practicable following
the Effective Date. In addition, GM agrees that (i) neither the proposed purchaser identified on
Exhibit 4.06(a)(xiv) hereto (the “Proposed Purchaser”) nor any of its Affiliates shall be
eligible to exercise an Unsold Business Option for the Saginaw E&C Assets and (ii) GM shall not and
shall not permit the Business Optionee exercising the Unsold Business Option with respect to the
Saginaw E&C Assets to directly or indirectly transfer any portion of the Saginaw E&C Assets to the
Proposed Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within five (5) years of such transfer.
(xv) GM agrees that in the event GM receives any consideration with respect to the designation
of a Business Optionee pursuant to this section 4.06, the amount of such consideration shall be
allocated between GM and Delphi as if such consideration was treated as Sale Proceeds pursuant to
section 4.04 hereof.
(b) Employment Transfer No Later than Employment Outside Date
(i) Subject to the terms of this section 4.06 and in accordance with section B.3 of the UAW
MOU, GM shall cause all the active and inactive bargaining unit employees (other than those who are
participating in the PRP) at each of the Flint East, Needmore Road and Saginaw E&C Facilities (each
an “Employment Transfer Facility” and collectively, the “Employment Transfer
Facilities”) to transfer (each an “Employment Transfer” and collectively, the
“Employment Transfers” ) to employment with a third party (each an “Employment
Party” and collectively, the “Employment Parties”) no later than the time set forth in
clauses (A), (B) and (C) below, respectively (each an “Employment Outside Date” and collectively,
the “Employment Outside Dates”). In connection with each such Employment Transfer each
such Employment Party shall receive an assignment of all of Delphi’s rights and obligations other
than the Delphi Retained Employment Liabilities for all active and inactive bargaining unit
employees at such Employment Transfer Facility and in connection therewith each Employment Party
shall assume all of Delphi’s obligations other than those related to the Delphi Retained Employment
Liabilities for all such active and inactive bargaining unit employees. The Parties further agree
that upon such assumption Delphi shall be relieved and released from any liabilities or obligations
other than the Delphi Retained Employment Liabilities to such active and inactive bargaining unit
employees arising from and after the date of the applicable Employment Transfer. The time period
for completion of the Employment Transfers are as follows:
MRA-51
(A) with respect to the Flint East Facility, commencing on
October 1, 2007, and from time to time thereafter when Delphi
notifies GM that Delphi’s employment requirements at Flint East are
reducing, GM shall cause the Employment Party to hire the active and
inactive bargaining unit employees at the Flint East Facility that
Delphi no longer requires for its ongoing production;
(B) with respect to the Needmore Road Facility, on or after the
earlier of 30 days after the cessation of OE Part production at the
Needmore Road Facility (which is currently scheduled for June 30,
2008) or December 31, 2008; and
(C) with respect to the Saginaw E&C Facility, December 31,
2008.
Delphi shall reasonably cooperate in connection with the Employment Transfer to each
Employment Party. With respect to the Flint East Facility, GM shall be obligated to cause the
Employment Party to permit Delphi’s continued use of the employees transferred to the Employment
Party pursuant to the Employment Transfer (or substitute employees who are members of the same
bargaining unit), to the extent Delphi requires in order to manufacture cluster and MRA products in
accordance with the UAW MOU, and the cost of such use shall be included in expenses for the purpose
of determining Production Cash Burn.
(c) Deemed Transactions
(i) If for any reason a Business Transaction with respect to any Unsold Business other than
the Saginaw E&C Assets has not been consummated by the applicable Outside Date, GM, or an Affiliate
of GM designated by GM in its discretion, shall be deemed to be a Business Optionee with respect to
such Unsold Business and to have exercised and consummated the related Unsold Business Option, and
the associated Business Transaction (including the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities) shall be
deemed to have been consummated on the applicable Business Outside Date. Such transaction shall be
deemed to occur in a manner reasonably determined by Delphi and Delphi shall have the right to
make, in its reasonable discretion, any elections with respect to the terms of the applicable
Business Transaction which a Business Optionee would otherwise be entitled to make under section
4.06(a) and which have not previously been made by GM, a Business Optionee or a designated GM
Affiliate at least 45 days before the Business Outside Date; provided, further,
that such Business Transaction shall exclude any foreign joint venture interests comprising a
portion of such Unsold Business that are subject to preemptive or similar rights that have not been
waived and Delphi shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause GM or its designee to
receive any net proceeds from the sale of any such joint venture interest. In the event that GM
designates one or more of its Affiliates under this section 4.06(c)(i), GM absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees all the obligations of such Affiliate with respect to the matters
described in this section 4.06(c)(i). Following the consummation of a Business Transaction
pursuant to this section 4.06(c)(i), GM and Delphi shall cooperate and provide each other
appropriate documentation evidencing such transaction. To the extent that an Unsold Business
includes a contract or other obligations,
MRA-52
including without limitation non-compete or non-solicitation agreements, which would restrict
or inhibit GM or any of its Affiliates from engaging in, owning an interest in any Person engaged
in, or providing support (financial or otherwise) to any Person engaged in, any line of business,
Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such contract or obligations and at
the election of GM or its designated Affiliate, such contract or obligation, shall be excluded (at
the cost and expense of GM) from the contracts and obligations being transferred or assumed by GM
or such Affiliate pursuant to a Business Transaction; provided, however Delphi
shall be entitled to cause the deemed Business Transaction to occur without including such contract
or obligation and, in such case, Delphi and GM shall use their respective commercially reasonable
efforts to provide GM or the applicable GM Affiliate with the rights and benefits of such excluded
contract or obligation. To the extent any contract, agreement or other asset is excluded from a
Business Transaction pursuant to section 4.06(a), such contract, agreement or asset shall be
treated as an “Unsold Business” for purposes of this section 4.06(c) and the provisions of this
section 4.06(c) shall be deemed to apply such that GM or its designated Affiliate shall be deemed a
“Business Optionee” with respect to such “Unsold Business” and to have exercised and consummated an
“Unsold Business Option”, and the associated “Business Transaction” (including the assumption of
“Assumed Liabilities”) shall be deemed to have been consummated on the applicable Business Outside
Date associated with the Unsold Business from which such contract, agreement or other asset was
excluded.
(ii) GM acknowledges that as a result of the Business Transactions, certain of Delphi’s
customers may have concerns and issues relating thereto. GM agrees to permit Delphi to take such
commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or desirable to address such concerns and issues,
including cooperating with any customers to transfer production of non-GM business and associated
tooling and equipment from any such facility to new sources of production as may be required or
requested by any of the customers in the event of any transfer to GM under this section 4.06(c). In
addition, GM or its designated Affiliate will consult with Delphi and, provided that Delphi is
given a reasonable opportunity to make a first communication, GM may consult with any such
customers of an Unsold Business, to discuss the potential impact of any Business Transaction on the
ongoing commercial relationship between such Unsold Business, Delphi and any such customers.
(iii) If for any reason an Employment Transfer with respect to an Employment Transfer Facility
has not been consummated by the applicable Employment Outside Date (which shall in the case of the
Flint East Facility be deemed to occur from time to time on the dates set forth in Delphi’s notices
to GM under section 4.06(b)(i)(A) above), the applicable active and inactive bargaining unit
employees for each such Employment Transfer Facility shall transfer to employment with GM, or, an
Affiliate of GM designated by GM in its discretion, in accordance with this section on the
applicable Employment Outside Date. In the event that GM designates one or more of its Affiliates
under this section 4.06(c)(iii), GM unconditionally guarantees all the obligations of such
Affiliate with respect to the matters described in this section 4.06(c)(iii). With respect to the
Flint East Facility, GM or its Affiliate shall be obligated to permit Delphi’s continued use of the
employees transferred to GM or its Affiliate pursuant to this section 4.06(c), to the extent Delphi
requires in order to manufacture cluster and MRA products in accordance with the UAW MOU, and the
cost of such use shall be included in expenses for the purpose of determining Production Cash Burn.
Following the consummation of a Business Transaction or Employment Transfer pursuant to this
section
MRA-53
4.06(c)(iii), GM and Delphi shall cooperate and provide each other appropriate documentation
evidencing such transaction.
(iv) GM’s obligations under this section 4.06 are absolute and unconditional and shall not be
subject to any defense of any nature whatsoever, including upon a breach by Delphi or any of its
Affiliates of any of their obligations under this Agreement (including this section 4.06), the
Settlement Agreement or any other agreement or any failure to consummate a Business Transaction
pursuant to this section 4.06 for any reason. To the extent the consummation of a Business
Transaction under this section 4.06 shall be illegal or shall require GM or its Affiliates to
dispose of or divest any line of business or restrict itself from engaging in any line of business
to which GM or its Affiliates are at that time actively engaged in order to obtain any regulatory
approval, Delphi shall restructure such transaction in order to accomplish to the greatest extent
legally permissible consummation of the applicable Business Transaction. GM shall pay the costs
arising and resulting from such restructuring, including shutdown, closure and severance costs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it will not be a breach of GM’s obligations hereunder if a Business
Transaction is not consummated as a result of Delphi’s failure to restructure such Business
Transaction in a manner which is not illegal or which does not require GM or its Affiliates to
dispose of or divest any line of business in which GM or its Affiliates are at that time actively
engaged.
Section 4.07 Additional Terms Regarding Wind-Down Facilities.
(a) GM and Delphi shall work together to facilitate the wind-down of production at Delphi’s
facilities that are scheduled to be wound down.
(b) Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to support the resourcing of GM
production at Delphi’s Wind Down Facilities and the Athens Facility, which support shall include,
among other things, inventory banks funded by GM, assignment of tier 2 supplier contracts and
movement of tooling.
(c) GM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transition from each facility of Delphi
that is scheduled to be wound down to alternate production sources the production of aftermarket
parts within the same timeframe as the transition from such facility to alternate production
sources for the production of OE Parts.
Section 4.08 Additional Terms Regarding Footprint Facilities.
(a) Delphi shall be responsible for explaining to potential purchasers or transferees of
businesses conducted at the Footprint Facilities the provisions of the UAW MOU or IUE MOU, as
applicable.
(b) Delphi shall commit the required engineering resources and capital improvements necessary
to support all GM programs produced at the Flint East Facility as required to meet Delphi’s
obligations under Existing Agreements or agreements which Delphi and GM enter into in the future.
To the extent required under Existing Agreements or agreements which Delphi and GM enter into in
the future, Delphi shall ensure that GM receives required production from the Flint East Facility
through the date on which Delphi has no further obligations under the UAW MOU relating to
production at the Flint East Facility.
MRA-54
(c) GM has agreed, pursuant to section B of and Attachment A to the IUE MOU, to provide
certain business to a third party so that Delphi would be relieved of responsibility for production
or operations at the Kettering Facility as soon as possible. GM and Delphi shall continue to work
together to support the transfer of the Kettering Facility as contemplated by the IUE MOU.
Section 4.09 Additional Terms Regarding UAW Keep Facilities. At each of the UAW Keep Facilities, Delphi shall commit the required engineering resources and
capital improvements necessary to support all GM programs produced at such UAW Keep Facility as
required to meet Delphi’s obligations under Existing Agreements or agreements which Delphi and GM
enter into in the future.

Section 5.06 Access to Information. |
(a) During the Retention Period, each of the Parties hereto shall cooperate with and afford,
and shall cause their respective affiliates, representatives, subsidiaries, successors and/or
assignees, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause joint ventures that are not Affiliates
(collectively, “Related Parties”) to cooperate with and afford, to the other Party
reasonable access upon reasonable advance written request to all information (other than
information which is (i) protected from disclosure by the attorney client privilege or work product
doctrine, (ii) proprietary in nature or (iii) the subject of a confidentiality agreement between
such Party and a third party which prohibits disclosure to the other party) within such Party’s or
any Related Party’s possession which was created prior to January 1, 1999 (the “Contribution
Date”) or, with respect to any information which would be relevant to the provision of a
transitional service in connection with the separation of Delphi and GM on January 1, 1999,
information created during the period in which one Party is providing the other Party with such
transition service. Access to the requested information shall be provided so long as it relates to
the requesting party’s (the “Requestor”) business, assets or liabilities, and access is
reasonably required by the Requestor as a result of the ownership relationship between GM and
MRA-60
Delphi at any time prior to the Contribution Date or the transition services identified above
(“Prior Relationship”) for purposes of auditing, accounting, claims, or litigation (except
for claims or litigation between the Parties hereto), employee benefits, regulatory or tax
purposes, or fulfilling disclosure or reporting obligations including, without limitation, all
records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data, and other data (“Information”)
reasonably necessary for the preparation of reports required by or filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to any period entirely or partially prior to the
Contribution Date.
(b) Access as used in this paragraph shall mean the obligation of a party in possession of
Information (the “Possessor”) requested by the Requestor to exert its reasonable best
efforts to locate all requested Information that is owned and possessed by the Possessor or any
Related Party. The Possessor, at its own expense, shall conduct a diligent search designed to
identify all requested Information and shall collect all such Information for inspection by the
Requestor during normal business hours at the Possessor’s place of business. Subject to
confidentiality and/or security provisions as the Possessor may reasonably deem necessary, the
Requestor may have all requested Information duplicated at the Requestor’s expense. Alternatively,
the Possessor may choose to deliver, at its own expense, all requested Information to the Requestor
in the form it was requested by the Requestor. If so, the Possessor shall notify the Requestor in
writing at the time of delivery if such Information is to be returned to the Possessor. In such
case, the Requestor shall return such Information when no longer needed to the Possessor at the
Possessor’s expense.
(c) In connection with providing Information pursuant to this section 5.06, each of the
Parties hereto shall upon the request of the other Party make available its respective employees
(and those of their respective Related Parties, as applicable) to the extent that they are
reasonably necessary to discuss and explain all requested Information with and to the requesting
party.
Section 5.07 Record Retention.
(a) Delphi shall preserve and keep all books and records included in the Delphi Assets or
otherwise in the possession of Delphi or its Related Parties as of the Contribution Date, whether
in electronic form or otherwise, for the Retention Period at Delphi’s sole cost and expense. If
Delphi wishes to dispose of any books and records or other documents which it is obligated to
retain under this section 5.07 after the Retention Period, then Delphi shall first provide ninety
(90) days’ written notice to GM and GM shall have the right, at its option and expense, upon prior
written notice within such ninety-day (90) period, to take possession of such books or records or
other documents within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of Delphi’s notice to GM
hereunder. Written notice of intent to dispose of such books and records shall include a
description of the books and records in detail sufficient to allow GM to reasonably assess its
potential need to retain such materials. In the event that Delphi enters into an agreement with a
third party during the Retention Period to sell a portion of its business, together with the books
and records related thereto, GM shall have the right to duplicate such books and records prior to
any such disposition and, should the purchaser of the Delphi business be a competitor of GM, GM
shall have the right to prohibit the transfer or disclosure to such party of that portion of the
former books and records of GM which GM notifies Delphi contain confidential and proprietary
information.
MRA-61
(b) (i) In addition to the retention requirements of sections 5.07(a), for a period no less
than the Retention Period, Delphi, at its sole cost and expense, shall use its reasonable best
efforts to maintain all technical documentation in its possession or in the possession of any of
its Related Parties applicable to product design, test, release, and validation at locations at
which such technical documents shall be reasonably accessible to GM upon request (at GM’s sole cost
and expense) and, to the extent reasonably possible, through employees of Delphi who formerly
performed that task for GM. Delphi shall, from time to time, at the reasonable request of GM,
cooperate fully with GM in providing GM, to the extent reasonably possible through Delphi employees
formerly employed by GM who previously performed the same functions on behalf of GM, with technical
assistance and information with respect to any claims brought against GM involving the conduct of
the Delphi Automotive Systems Business prior to the Contribution Date, including consultation
and/or the appearance(s) of such persons on a reasonable basis as expert or fact witnesses in
trials or administrative proceedings. GM shall reimburse Delphi for its reasonable out-of-pocket
costs (travel, hotels, etc.) of providing such services, consistent with GM’s policies and
practices regarding such expenditures.
(ii) In particular, Delphi shall: (i) retain all documents required to be maintained by
international, national, state, provincial, regional, or local regulations and all documents that
may be reasonably required to establish due care or to otherwise assist GM in pursuing, contesting
or defending such claims; (ii) make available its documents and records in connection with any
pursuit, contest, or defense, including, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement or
protective order, documents that may be considered to be “confidential” or subject to trade secret
protection; (iii) promptly respond to discovery requests in connection with such claim,
understanding and acknowledging that the requirements of discovery in connection with litigation
require timely responses to interrogatories, requests to produce, requests for admission, and
depositions and also understanding and acknowledging that any delays in connection with responses
to discovery may result in sanctions; (iv) make available, as may be reasonably necessary and upon
reasonable advance notice and for reasonable periods so as not to interfere materially with
Delphi’s business, mutually acceptable engineers, technicians, or other knowledgeable individuals
to assist GM in connection with such claim, including investigation into claims and occurrences
described in this section and preparing for and giving factual and expert testimony at depositions,
court proceedings, inquiries, hearings, and trial; (v) make available facilities and exemplar parts
for the sole and limited use of assisting GM in the contest or defense; and (vi) acknowledge that
GM is responsible for and shall control, as between GM and Delphi, the conduct of the pursuit,
contest or defense.
(c) (i) GM and Delphi agree to retain all Income Tax Returns (as defined in the Income Tax
Allocation Agreement), related schedules and workpapers, and all material records and other
documents as required under Section 6001 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well
as by any similar provision of state or local income tax law, until the later of (i) the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations for the tax period to which the records relate, or (ii)
the Final Determination (as defined in the Income Tax Allocation Agreement) has been made with
respect to all issues related to the final Consolidated Tax Period (as defined in the Income Tax
Allocation Agreement).
MRA-62
(ii) With respect to Non-Income Taxes (as defined in the Non-Income Tax Indemnification
Agreement), GM and Delphi agree to retain all Non-Income Tax Returns, related schedules and
workpapers, and all material records and other documents as required under Federal, state, or local
law, until the later of (i) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the tax
period to which the records relate or (ii) a Determination (as defined in the Non-Income Tax
Indemnification Agreement) has been made with respect to all issues for the tax periods to which
the Non-Income Tax Indemnification Agreement applies.
(iii) If either Party wishes to dispose of any such records or documents after such retention
period, then the procedure described in (a) and (b) above shall apply.
Section 5.08 Reimbursement. Unless otherwise provided in this Article V, each Party to this Agreement providing access,
information, or witnesses to another Party pursuant to sections 5.06 or 5.07 shall be entitled to
receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payment for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (excluding allocated compensation, salary, and overhead expense)
as may be reasonably incurred in providing such information or witnesses.
Section 5.09 Product Liability Claims.
(a) GM and Delphi agree to the allocation of liability for all claims and causes of action,
however presented, alleging that parts, components, or systems that have been (i) manufactured by
the Delphi Automotive Systems Business or Delphi or its Affiliates or (ii) manufactured by a third

(b) (i) As between GM and Delphi, Delphi shall assume the defense of all such claims involving
Delphi Products sold or otherwise supplied prior to January 1, 1999 to customers other than GM or
an Affiliate or Subsidiary of GM. Delphi shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GM and its

Affiliates against any and all such claims. Delphi or its Affiliates shall reimburse GM and its
Affiliates for any reasonable attorneys’ fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by GM and its
Affiliates in connection with investigating and/or defending any such claim or securing the
indemnification and/or defense that Delphi and its Affiliates are required to provide pursuant to
this paragraph.
(ii) The rights, obligations, and liabilities of GM and Delphi with respect to claims

ARTICLE VI
EFFECTIVENESS
Section 6.01 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall not become effective until the date on which all conditions to
effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement that are set forth in Article VI thereof are satisfied or
waived by the parties thereto (the “Effective Date”).
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.01 On-Going Setoff Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Settlement
Agreement, the Parties’ payment obligations under this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement are
absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any offset (except as expressly set forth in
the proviso below) or defense of any nature whatsoever including upon a breach by Delphi or any of
its Affiliates or GM or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, of any of their obligations under
this Agreement, the Settlement Agreement, or any other agreement; provided,
however, that any payments by GM pursuant to this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement
shall be subject to GM’s right to offset all or part of such payment from any future amounts GM
owes Delphi under this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement only if (i) agreed upon by GM and
Delphi or (ii) GM determines that it made an overpayment of any amount paid pursuant to this
Agreement or the Settlement Agreement and GM and Delphi are unable to resolve GM’s claim for such
amounts pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of section 7.11 of this Agreement and GM
provides Delphi with five (5) days’ written notice before implementing such offset;
provided further, however, that if it is judicially determined that GM did
not have the right to offset such amount, GM shall pay Delphi such amount plus interest accruing on
such amount from the date of setoff through the repayment date at the rate of 7.5% per annum.
Neither this section 7.01 nor any other provision of this Agreement or the Settlement Agreement
shall prohibit, restrict, or limit in any way the application of GM’s contractual rights of setoff
arising under any GM Purchase Order pursuant to GM’s standard purchase order terms and conditions
against other obligations arising under any GM Purchase Orders or agreements other than this
Agreement and the Settlement Agreement.
Section 7.02 Termination Provisions. This Agreement may be terminated or shall terminate immediately and automatically, as
applicable, and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned, upon the occurrence of any of the
following:
MRA-66
(a) by mutual written consent of both Delphi and GM;
(b) by GM or Delphi if, prior to the effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement pursuant to
Article VI thereof, the Settlement Agreement is terminated pursuant to section 7.03 thereof; or
(c) automatically on December 31, 2015.
Section 7.03 Guaranty by Delphi.
(a) From and after the Effective Date, Delphi hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees the due and punctual payment or performance, as the case may be, by DAS and its
successors and assigns (collectively, the “Delphi Guaranty Parties”) of all of their
obligations under any and all Existing Agreements or future GM Purchase Orders incurred with
respect to work performed or required to be performed on or before September 14, 2015 between any
of DAS (or another Delphi Guaranty Party) and any of the GM Parties (collectively, the
“Guaranteed Agreements”), whether issued and accepted before or after the Effective Date.
In connection with this Agreement and for all purposes, all outstanding GM Purchase Orders shall be
deemed to be assigned to DAS. GM further agrees that all GM Purchase Orders to be issued and
accepted on or after the date hereof and before September 14, 2015, between any of the GM Parties
and any of the Delphi-Related Parties shall be issued to and accepted by DAS rather than another
Delphi-Related Party, subject, however, to the next to last sentence of section 6.01 of the
Settlement Agreement.
(b) Delphi hereby agrees that its obligations under section 7.03(a) hereof (i) are a guaranty
of payment and performance when due and not of collectability, (ii) are a primary obligation of
Delphi and not merely a contract of surety, (iii) shall be absolute, independent, unconditional,
and irrespective of (1) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Agreements,
(2) any change therein or amendments thereto, (3) the absence of any action to enforce the same,
(4) any waiver or consent by GM with respect to any provision thereof, (5) the recovery of any
judgment against any of the other Delphi Parties or any action to enforce the same, or (6) any
other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor or surety.
(c) Delphi hereby waives presentment, demand of payment, protest or notice with respect to the
Guaranteed Agreements and the obligations set forth therein or herein.
(d) Delphi’s obligations under section 7.03(a) hereof shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any amount owed to any of the GM
Parties hereunder or under any of the Guaranteed Agreements is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by any of the GM Parties upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any of the
Delphi Parties or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(e) If (I) GM breaches one or more of its payment obligations under this Agreement or the
Settlement Agreement or any of its obligations under Article IV hereof (excluding obligations under
any of the Continuing Agreements, as defined in the Settlement Agreement or any commercial disputes
that arises in the Ordinary Course Relationship (as
MRA-67
defined in the Settlement Agreement)) and such breach or breaches would have a material impact
(1) on Delphi and its Affiliates or (2) on the benefits Delphi and its Affiliates are reasonably
expected to receive under the Settlement Agreement or this Agreement (the effects set forth in (1)
or(2) above shall hereinafter be referred to as, a “Delphi Material Impact”) and (II)
Delphi provides written notice (the “Delphi Notice”) of such breach or breaches, executed
by either Delphi’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer, which notice describes in
reasonable detail the nature of the breach or breaches and relevant background information, then
the guaranty provided for in this section 7.03 shall, subject to the terms of this section 7.03(e),
automatically terminate without any further action; provided, however, that prior
to such termination becoming effective (A) if the breach or breaches relate to a payment obligation
hereunder or under the Settlement Agreement, GM shall have a ten (10) day period following receipt
of the Delphi Notice to cure such breach or breaches and (B) if the breach or breaches relate to an
obligation other than a payment obligation hereunder or under the Settlement Agreement, GM shall
have a thirty (30) day period following receipt of the Delphi Notice to cure such breach or
breaches; provided, further, however that if there is a disagreement
between the Parties as to whether GM has breached one or more of its obligations or whether such
breach or breaches has a Delphi Material Impact, at the election of either Party, the Parties shall
engage in the dispute resolution process specified in section 7.11 hereof with respect to such
disagreement, and such termination shall not become effective if such dispute resolution process is
commenced prior to the end of such cure period. Upon the conclusion of such process or, if
earlier, thirty (30) days after its commencement (the “Dispute Resolution Termination
Date”), if Delphi still believes that a breach with a Delphi Material Impact has occurred, GM
shall have the right to cure such default within ten (10) days after the Dispute Resolution
Termination Date and, if so cured, the guaranty shall not terminate. Either GM or Delphi may seek
judicial determination at any time as to whether Delphi has the right to terminate the guaranty
pursuant to this section 7.03(e). If it is judicially determined by Final Order that Delphi did
not have the right to terminate the guaranty, it shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 7.04 Continued Ownership of DAS. Until the earlier of September 14, 2015 and such time as the guaranty provided for pursuant to
section 7.03 hereof is no longer in full force and effect, without the prior written consent of GM,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Delphi shall not permit DAS to transfer (i) a
material portion of its assets necessary to satisfy production obligations to GM or (ii) more than
40% of its total assets (other than to a Delphi Party; provided that all provisions of this section
7.04 shall apply to such Delphi Party to the same extent they apply to DAS) and Delphi shall not
cease to own, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the outstanding equity and voting
equity of DAS; provided, however, that neither of the restrictions in this sentence
shall apply if such transfer or cessation, as applicable, occurs as a result of a transfer by
Delphi of all or substantially all of its assets.

liabilities whatsoever, which the Delphi Parties ever had, now have, or hereafter
MRA-68
may have, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or noncontingent,

Kettering Facility (in the event the Kettering Facility is not sold as contemplated under 4.08(c)),
the waiver in this section 7.06 would apply only in the case of cooperative resourcing by mutual
written agreement (collectively, “Cancellation Claims”) that any of the Delphi Parties have

(b) With respect to any Cancellation Claims that have been asserted as of the Effective Date

Delphi Supplier Cancellation Claims;
(ii) Delphi shall pay the first $30 million, on a cumulative basis, of any
Delphi Supplier Cancellation Claims; and

appurtenances, accessions and accessories thereto (collectively, the “Accessories”), which
have been (i) furnished by GM to a Debtor at any time, directly or indirectly excluding Tooling the
ownership of which was transferred to a Debtor on the Contribution Date, unless there was a written

purchased by GM under a tooling purchase order with a Debtor, are owned by GM and are being held by
DAS and, to the extent a Debtor has transferred the Tooling or Accessories to third parties, by
such third parties, on a bailment basis consistent with paragraph 19 of the Standard GM Terms.

Section 7.10
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State
of
New York, the forum state in which the Bankruptcy Court sits, without regard to any conflict of
law provision that could require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Pursuant to
the Plan and the Confirmation Order, this Agreement is incorporated by reference in its entirety
into the Plan and forms an integral part thereof. Accordingly, by its execution and delivery of
this Agreement, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that the Bankruptcy Court
shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters related to the construction, interpretation or
enforcement of this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement;
provided,
however, that
the Bankruptcy Court shall not have jurisdiction over (i) disputes arising out of the provisions
set forth in Article III of this Agreement or the agreements referenced in sections 5.01(c) and
5.01(d) of this Agreement, or (ii) disputes arising out of agreements between any Delphi-Affiliate
Party on the one hand and GM or any of its Affiliates on the other in which disputes no
Delphi-Related Party has an interest; and
provided further that after the second
anniversary of the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain non-exclusive jurisdiction
over all matters related to the construction, interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement and
the Settlement Agreement; and
provided further that the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court over all matters related to this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement shall
terminate upon the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date. Each Party further agrees to waive
any objection based on forum non conveniens.
Section 7.11 Dispute Resolution. In the event a Restructuring Dispute arises among the Parties (other than an Article III
Dispute, which shall be governed and settled in accordance with section 3.10 hereof), upon the
written request of either Party, such Restructuring Dispute shall be referred to the Director of
Business Development at GM and the Finance Director of Automotive Holdings Group or the Director,
Strategic Planning at Delphi (at Delphi’s discretion) for resolution in good faith. In the event
that GM’s Director of Business Development and Delphi’s Finance Director of Automotive Holdings
Group or the Director, Strategic Planning are unable to resolve such dispute, such Restructuring
Dispute shall be referred, at either Party’s written request, to the Assistant Treasurer of GM and
the Assistant Treasurer or Treasurer of Delphi (at Delphi’s discretion). If within ten (10) days
after such referral, GM’s Assistant Treasurer and Delphi’s Assistant Treasurer or Treasurer are
unable to resolve the Restructuring Dispute, the Restructuring Dispute may be elevated by either
Party to GM’s Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer (at GM’s discretion) and Delphi’s Chief
Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer (at Delphi’s discretion) for resolution. To the
extent that the job title of any of the foregoing positions is changed, this section 7.11 shall be
deemed to apply to such successor title or, if the position is eliminated or vacated, to the job
title of the party taking over the responsibilities of the eliminated or vacated position.
Section 7.12 No Solicitation. Each Party acknowledges that this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation
to accept or reject a plan in contravention of section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party
further acknowledges that no securities of any Debtor are being offered or sold pursuant to this
Agreement and that this Agreement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy any securities of any Debtor.
Section 7.13 Negotiations Not Admissible. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable state rules of
evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations
MRA-70
relating hereto are not admissible into evidence in any proceeding; provided,
however, that this Agreement may be admissible in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this
Agreement.
Section 7.14 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party would be irreparably damaged if this Agreement were
not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each
Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement in addition to any other
remedy to which the Parties may be entitled, at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject

organizational documents or those of any of its subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, result in a
breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material
contractual obligation to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party.
Section 7.16 Waiver; Modification; Amendment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified, waived,
amended, or supplemented unless such modification, waiver, amendment, or supplement is in writing
and has been signed by each Party. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed or constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, whether or not similar, nor
shall any waiver be deemed a continuing waiver.
Section 7.17 Binding Effect; Assignments. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors, assigns, administrators, and representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any of the

without limitation, the obligations set forth in sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof) shall be sold,
assigned, or otherwise transferred by any Party without the prior written consent of the other

modifications thereto), in the event that any of the terms of the Plan
MRA-73
(including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or Confirmation Order

Section 7.24 Entire Agreement; Parties’ Intentions; Construction. This Agreement, including all exhibits and attachments hereto and to the Plan (e.g., the
Settlement Agreement, the Labor MOUs, and the Non-Represented Employees Term Sheet) and the
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement between GM and Delphi dated September 12, 2005, as
amended, constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter
other than with respect to the agreements expressly assumed, ratified or reinstated in Article V of
this Agreement. The attachments and exhibits attached hereto are an integral part of this
Agreement and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and made a part hereof as if set forth in
full herein. This Agreement is the product of negotiations between the Parties and represents the

whole, shall be construed more or less favorably to any Party.
Section 7.25 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in
any respect, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
