| 3. | Temporary Acceleration of Payment Terms. |
| (a) | Pull-Forward Payments. |
(i) Provided that the Acceleration Conditions are satisfied, on the date in March 2009
that GM makes its March 2009 MNS-2 payment to DAS (or, if later, the first date the
Acceleration Conditions are satisfied that is either the 15th date of a month prior to July

of $100,000,000 (in addition to its otherwise scheduled payments on the applicable date)
representing a partial temporary acceleration of accounts payable to DAS for Component Parts
supplied to GMNA and GMSPO by DAS (the “First Pull-Forward Payment”) with the effect
of decreasing the GM payables to DAS by the amount paid.
(ii) Provided that the Acceleration Conditions are satisfied, on the date in April 2009

applicable date and without regard to any payment previously paid or then due under clause
(i) above) representing a partial temporary acceleration of accounts payable to DAS for
Component Parts supplied to GMNA and GMSPO by DAS (the “Second Pull-Forward
Payment”) with the effect of decreasing the GM payables to DAS by the amount paid.
2
(iii) Provided that the Acceleration Conditions are satisfied, on the day following the

date the Acceleration Conditions are satisfied that is either the 15th date of a month prior

Payment”) with the effect of decreasing the GM payables to DAS by the amount paid. As
used herein the term “Pull-Forward Payments” means the aggregate amount of the First
Pull-Forward Payment, the Second Pull-Forward Payment and the Third Pull-Forward Payment
paid by GM to DAS.
| (b) | Pull-Forward Recovery. |
(i) If, on the Tranche B Termination Date, provided that such Tranche B Termination
Date does not occur as a result of the occurrence of the MRA Consummation Date (which is
addressed in section 3(c) below), the outstanding balance of the Tranche B Obligations is
less than $300,000,000, a portion of the outstanding balance of Pull-Forward Payments, if
any, in an amount up to the difference between (x) $300,000,000 and (y) the outstanding
balance of the Tranche B Obligations, will be deemed to be advances under the GM-Delphi
Agreement, with the outstanding balances of the Tranche B Obligations and the Pull-Forward
Payments adjusted accordingly. For example, if, on the Tranche B Termination Date, the
outstanding balance of the Tranche B Obligations is $200,000,000, and the outstanding
balance of Pull-Forward Payments is $200,000,000, $100,000,000 of Pull-Forward Payments will
be deemed to be advances under the GM-Delphi Agreement, increasing the balance of the
Tranche B Obligations to $300,000,000 and reducing the balance of the Pull-Forward Payments
to $100,000,000. Likewise, if, on the Tranche B Termination Date, the outstanding balance
of the Tranche B Obligations is $100,000,000, and the outstanding balance of Pull-Forward
Payments is $100,000,000, $100,000,000 of Pull-Forward Payments will be deemed to be
advances under the GM-Delphi Agreement, increasing the balance of the Tranche B Obligations
to $200,000,000 and reducing the balance of Pull-Forward Payments to $-0-.
(ii) Provided that (A) the MRA Consummation Date has not occurred, and (B) there
remains a balance of Pull-Forward Payments made by GM to DAS after giving effect to clause
(i) above, GM will offset the remaining balance of Pull-Forward Payments, in an amount not
to exceed $100,000,000, from its first MNS-2 payment to DAS following the Tranche B
Termination Date (or subsequent MNS-2 payments to DAS), or on the Tranche B Termination Date
if the Tranche B Termination Date falls on an MNS-2 payment date, with the effect of
increasing the GM payables to DAS by the amount so offset.
(iii) Provided that (A) the MRA Consummation Date has not occurred, and (B) there
remains a balance of Pull-Forward Payments made by GM to DAS after giving effect to clause
(i) above, GM will offset the remaining balance of Pull-Forward Payments, in an amount not
to exceed $100,000,000, from its second MNS-2 payment to
3
DAS following the Tranche B Termination Date (or subsequent MNS-2 payments to DAS) with
the effect of increasing the GM payables to DAS by the amount so offset.
(iv) Provided that (A) the MRA Consummation Date has not occurred, and (B) there
remains a balance of Pull-Forward Payments made by GM to DAS after giving effect to clause
(i) above, GM will offset the remaining balance of Pull-Forward Payments from its third
MNS-2 payment to DAS following the Tranche B Termination Date (or subsequent MNS-2 payments
to DAS) with the effect of increasing the GM payables to DAS by the amount so offset.
(c) Upon the MRA Consummation Date, to the extent the Pull-Forward Payments have not been
fully recovered by GM under Subsections 3(a)(iv), (v), or (vi) above, GM will offset the remaining
balance of Pull-Forward Payments, if any, against its accounts payable to DAS simultaneously with
giving effect to Section 3.13 of the Master Restructuring Agreement. Thereafter, the terms and
conditions of the Master Restructuring Agreement shall govern the respective rights and obligations
of the parties hereto in connection with accelerated payment terms with respect to Component Parts
supplied to GMNA and GMSPO by DAS and the partial temporary acceleration of payment terms under
this Agreement shall cease.
