through a transaction with Parnassus Holdings II, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum Equity, and with
the support of GM Components Holdings LLC, an affiliate of New GM (the “Master Disposition
Agreement”) or pursuant to an alternate transaction. In the event that the Debtors are not
able to implement the transactions contemplated in the Master Disposition Agreement (or an
alternate transaction) through the Modified Plan, the Debtors have requested that the Bankruptcy
Court set a hearing date to approve the Master Disposition Agreement (or an alternate transaction)
as contemplated by the Procedures Order (as defined below)) pursuant to section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code as contemplated by the Procedures Order (as defined below)) pursuant to section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Alternative Sale Hearing”), which hearing date shall be no
later than July 23, 2009 (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties thereto), the date proposed for
the hearing to approve the Modified Plan;
WHEREAS, the Supplement to Plan Modification Approval Motion was approved with modifications by
order entered June 10, 2009 (Docket No. 17032) and was supplemented and amended by order entered
June 29, 2009 (Docket No. 17376) (the “Procedures Order”);
WHEREAS, the Modified Plan contemplates that the Debtors will emerge from bankruptcy as reorganized
entities (the “Reorganized Debtors”);
3
WHEREAS, section 10.2.5 of the Master Disposition Agreement provides that, as a condition to
closing the transactions contemplated in the Master Disposition Agreement, “Delphi and its
Affiliates shall be satisfied that the Delphi [Hourly Plan] will not be an obligation of Delphi
following the Closing and Delphi shall have been relieved of all obligations with respect thereto”;
WHEREAS, sections 10.3.4 and 10.4.4 of the Master Disposition Agreement provide that, as a
condition to closing the transactions contemplated in the Master Disposition Agreement, PBGC shall
have agreed to remove any encumbrances of PBGC on the assets of the Debtors and their affiliates,
including those assets to be sold under the Master Disposition Agreement;
WHEREAS, in furtherance of the transactions contemplated herein and the sale transactions
contemplated in the Master Disposition Agreement or in an Alternative Transaction (as defined
herein), PBGC expects to enter into a separate Waiver and Release Agreement (the “Release
Agreement”) with New GM, as attached hereto as Exhibit B, inter alia,
to resolve any and all asserted or unasserted liens and claims of PBGC against Delphi and any
member of Delphi’s “controlled group” as defined in section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §
1301(a)(14) (collectively, the “Delphi Group”); and
WHEREAS, to the extent that the Pensions Plans are terminated, the Parties acknowledge that absent
the compromises set forth in this Agreement and the Release Agreement, the PBGC would have been
entitled to a general unsecured claim in the approximate amount of $7 billion plus the potential
for additional recovery depending on the outcome of litigation that would have ensued related to
the Contingent PBGC Adequate Protection Liens.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and by execution of this Agreement,
Delphi and PBGC agree as follows:
1. | PBGC Claims. Effective as of the Closing Date (as defined below), whether pursuant to the Debtors’ proposed Modified Plan, or in the alternative, in connection with the sale transaction to be approved at the Alternative Sale Hearing, PBGC shall receive an allowed prepetition general unsecured claim against each of the Debtors in the aggregate amount of $3.0 billion (the “Allowed PBGC General Unsecured Claim”). If the Modified Plan is approved and consummated, PBGC shall receive in respect of the Allowed PBGC General Unsecured Claim the treatment set forth in Article 5.4 of the Modified Plan. If the Modified Plan is not approved and consummated, PBGC shall be entitled to receive in respect of the Allowed PBGC General Unsecured Claim treatment that is no less favorable than the treatment afforded to any other allowed prepetition, general, nonpriority unsecured claim against any of the Debtors. | |
2. | Releases. |
(a) | The distributions set forth in section 1 above together with the consideration set forth in the Release Agreement shall fully satisfy all obligations of the Delphi Group under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the Pension Plans, shall constitute the recovery afforded to PBGC on account of the claims related to the Pension Plans, and shall also fully satisfy (i) all liens asserted |
4
and/or assertable by PBGC against the Delphi Group with respect to the Pension Plans and (ii) the Contingent PBGC Adequate Protection Liens. | |||
(b) | Effective as of the Closing Date, PBGC on its own behalf and in every other capacity in which it may now or in the future act, unconditionally and forever releases and discharges the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, Delphi Group and each of its members and each of its (or their) current and former shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, owners, and each of its (or their) heirs, agents, executors, administrators, attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively referred to hereinafter as the “PBGC Releasees”) from any and all disputes, controversies, suits, actions, causes of action, claims, assessments, demands, debts, sums of money, damages, judgments, liabilities, liens (including, without limitation the Contingent PBGC Adequate Protection Liens), and obligations of any kind whatsoever, upon any legal or equitable theory (whether contractual, common law, statutory, federal, state, local or otherwise), whether known or unknown, that PBGC ever had, now has, or hereafter can, shall or may have, from the beginning of time, against the PBGC Releasees by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, relating to obligations to PBGC with respect to the Pension Plans under ERISA or otherwise (including, without limitation, PBGC’s allegations of administrative, secured, or priority status for its claims with respect to the Pension Plans); and PBGC will take no action, direct or indirect, against the PBGC Releasees to collect, impose, or enforce liability or liens (including, without limitation the Contingent PBGC Adequate Protection Liens) with respect to the Pension Plans under ERISA, the IRC, or otherwise (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will (i) release or discharge Delphi from its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, its obligation to grant to PBGC the Allowed PBGC General Unsecured Claim or (ii) release or discharge any person or entity from liability arising as a result of such person’s breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA. | ||
(c) | Effective as of the termination of the Pension Plans, Delphi, on behalf of the Debtors and the members of the Delphi Group (the “Delphi Releasors”), unconditionally and forever releases and discharges PBGC from any and all disputes, controversies, suits, actions, causes of action, claims, assessments, demands, debts, sums of money, damages, judgments, liabilities, and obligations of any kind whatsoever, upon any legal or equitable theory (whether contractual, common law, statutory, federal, state, local or otherwise), whether known or unknown, that the Delphi Releasors ever had, now have, or hereafter can, shall or may have, from the beginning of time, against PBGC by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, relating to obligations with respect to the Pension Plans under ERISA or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will release or discharge PBGC from its obligations hereunder. |
5
(d) | PBGC shall withdraw all 412(n)/430(k) Lien Notices relating to the Pension Plans, including but not limited to any notices related to the Contingent PBGC Adequate Protection Liens, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete such withdrawals within 60 days after the closing (the “Closing Date”) of the Master Disposition Agreement or an alternative transaction, as contemplated by the Procedures Order, to which New GM is a party (an “Alternative Transaction”). |
3. | Termination of the Pension Plans. |
(a) | Non-Bargaining Plans. As soon as reasonably practicable after entry of an order approving the Modified Plan or a sale transaction at the Alternative Sale Hearing, PBGC staff will determine whether to initiate and/or proceed with the involuntary termination under 29 U.S.C. § 1342 of each of the Pension Plans, other than the Bargaining Plan and the Hourly Plan (such remaining Pension Plans, the “Non-Bargaining Plans”), which terminations shall be effective on the date established under 29 U.S.C. § 1348 (the “Termination Date”). Upon issuance by PBGC of a notice of determination pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1342 that the Non-Bargaining Plans should terminate with a date of plan termination as of the Termination Date, PBGC and the plan administrator shall execute termination and trusteeship agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C with respect to each Non-Bargaining Plan, terminating each Non-Bargaining Plan, establishing the Termination Date as the date of plan termination, and appointing PBGC as the statutory trustee of each Non-Bargaining Plan. | ||
(b) | Bargaining Plan and Hourly Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after entry of an order approving the Modified Plan or a sale transaction at the Alternative Sale Hearing, PBGC staff will determine whether to initiate and/or proceed with the involuntary termination under 29 U.S.C. § 1342 of the Bargaining Plan and/or the Hourly Plan, which terminations shall be effective on the Termination Date. If and when PBGC issues a notice of determination pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1342 that the Bargaining Plan and/or Hourly Plan should terminate on the Termination Date, PBGC shall seek termination of the Bargaining Plan and/or Hourly Plan pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1342(c). |
(i) | In connection with seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of the Agreement as contemplated under section 6(a) hereof, Delphi shall seek a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such termination is not a violation of the Labor MOUs, the Union 1113/1114 Settlement Approval Orders, or the Local Agreement Between Delphi Connection Systems (formerly Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Interconnect) And Electronic And Space Technicians Local 1553, and any modifications thereto. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court approves this Agreement and makes the foregoing finding, PBGC and Delphi shall execute a termination and trusteeship agreement |
6
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C with respect to the Bargaining Plan and/or the Hourly Plan, terminating the Bargaining Plan and/or the Hourly Plan, establishing the Termination Date as the date of plan termination, and appointing PBGC statutory trustee of the Bargaining Plan and/or the Hourly Plan. | |||
(ii) | In the event that the Bankruptcy Court fails or refuses to issue the finding described in section 3(b)(i), PBGC shall seek issuance of an order by a United States District Court terminating the Bargaining Plan and/or Hourly Plan pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1342(c), establishing the Termination Date as the date of plan termination, and appointing PBGC statutory trustee of the Bargaining Plan and/or the Hourly Plan. |
4. | Waiver. Except with respect to any requirement for court approval or judicial determination, each Party may waive in writing the benefit of the other Party’s compliance with any particular provision of this Agreement. No waiver by a Party with respect to any breach or default or of any right to remedy and no course of dealing or performance will be deemed to constitute a continuing waiver of any breach or default or of any other right or remedy, unless such waiver is expressed in writing signed by the Party to be bound. The failure of a Party to exercise any right will not be deemed a waiver of such right or rights in the future. | |
5. | Mutual Cooperation. The Parties will cooperate with each other in connection with the transfer of Pension Plan property to PBGC as statutory trustee. | |
6. | Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Agreement shall be subject to each of the following conditions: (a) Bankruptcy Court approval of this Agreement; (b) Bankruptcy Court approval of the Master Disposition Agreement or an Alternative Transaction through either the entry of an order (i) confirming the Modified Plan or (ii) approving a sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (c) to the extent the Bankruptcy Court approves an Alternative Transaction, such transaction shall include consideration to PBGC (i) that is greater than or equal to the aggregate amount of the consideration that PBGC would have received under section 1 of this Agreement together with the aggregate amount of the consideration payable to PBGC under the Release Agreement and (ii) that is in the same form of currency as the current consideration or, if the consideration is not in the same form of currency, the form of currency is reasonably satisfactory to PBGC, (d) the consideration to be received on the Closing Date by PBGC from New GM in accordance with the Release Agreement shall have been received, (e) the consummation of the Master Disposition Agreement or an Alternative Transaction, and (f) solely as to Delphi, execution of the termination and trusteeship agreements as set forth in section 3(a) and 3(b)(i) above, each of which condition in this subsection (f) may be waived by Delphi. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be null and void should the conditions precedent set forth in this section 6 not be satisfied or, if applicable, waived. The Parties further agree that the conditions precedent set forth in this section 6 shall be satisfied prior to or simultaneous with the Closing Date. |
7
7. | Restructuring Activities and Modified Plan. PBGC shall support confirmation of the Modified Plan and entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order confirming the Modified Plan or a sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to effect the transactions contemplated in the MDA; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an agreement by PBGC to vote to accept or reject the Modified Plan. Nothing herein shall limit or impair PBGC’s rights to object to the claims of other creditors. |
8. | Further Assurances Regarding the Pension Plans. From time to time, the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) and PBGC shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions (subject to any limitation set forth in this Agreement), as any such Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions with respect to the Pension Plans as contemplated by this Agreement. |
9. | Notices.

10. | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with federal law and, except to the extent preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. |
11. | Retention of Jurisdiction. Except as necessary to satisfy section 3(b)(ii) hereof, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, and PBGC irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for any litigation arising out of or relating to the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agree not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in the Bankruptcy Court), unless ERISA requires a different jurisdiction. |
12. | Enforcement of Agreement. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, and PBGC agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Debtors and PBGC shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity. |
13. | Authority. Subject to Bankruptcy Court approval in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, each of the Parties represents that it has the authority to enter into this Agreement and to enter into the transactions contemplated thereby. |
8
14. | Non-Severability. Each of the terms of this Agreement is a material and integral part hereof. Should any provision of this Agreement be held unenforceable or contrary to law, the entire Agreement shall be deemed null and void. |
15. | Representations and Warranties. The Parties hereto acknowledge that they are executing this Agreement without reliance on any representations, warranties, or commitments other than those representations, warranties, and commitments expressly set forth in this Agreement. |
16. | Entire Understanding.

This Agreement may not be modified, altered, or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties. |
17. | Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for any purchaser of the Debtors’ businesses through the Master Disposition Agreement or an Alternative Transaction, no provision of this Agreement, nor anything expressed or implied herein, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the Parties hereto, any claims, rights, or remedies hereunder. |
18. | No Party Deemed Drafter. This Agreement is being entered into among competent persons who are experienced in business and represented by counsel, and has been reviewed by the Parties hereto and each of their counsel. Therefore, any ambiguous language in this Agreement shall not be construed against any particular party as the drafter of such language. |
19. | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. |
