          The powers, rights and responsibilities of the Claims Monitor shall be to: (a) consult with the Reorganized Debtors with respect to any proposed Stipulation of Amount and Nature of Claim, other settlement, other agreement or agreed order that would result in an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in excess of $500,000; (b) File an objection to any proposed Stipulation of Amount and Nature of Claim, other settlement, other agreement or agreed order that would result in an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in excess of $500,000; (c) object to any General Unsecured Claim in excess of $500,000 where (i) the Claims Monitor has expressly requested in writing that the Reorganized Debtors object to a General Unsecured Claim, which written request shall in no event be served upon the Reorganized Debtors prior to the later of (A) 60 days after the Effective Date or (B) 45 days after the Filing of a proof of Claim for such General Unsecured Claim, and (ii) the Reorganized Debtors have not Filed the objection requested by the Claims Monitor within 20 days of the Reorganized Debtors’ receipt of such request; and (d) monitor the Reorganized Debtors’ administration of the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve as described in the following sentence, and, in connection therewith, the Claims Monitor shall have the rights designated for the “Litigation Trustee” in paragraphs 4(a) and 4(d) of the Claims Reserve Order. If the Claims Monitor believes that the Reorganized Debtors are unreasonably maintaining excess reserves in the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve, then (a) no sooner than 120 days after the Effective Date, the Claims Monitor may provide written notice of such belief to the Reorganized Debtors, with a request for the Reorganized Debtors to make a specific adjustment the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve consistent with the Plan and the Claims Reserve Order, along with the justifications for such adjustment; and (b) if the Reorganized Debtors do not adjust the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve as requested in such written notice by the next Periodic Distribution Date occurring at least 30 days after the written notice, the Claims Monitor may File a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to compel adjustments to, and distributions from, the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve. In connection with its responsibilities, the Claims Monitor may employ, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, professionals reasonably necessary to assist the Claims Monitor in carrying out its powers, rights and responsibilities under the Plan.

     3. Procedures for Proposed Settlements
          After the Effective Date, the following procedures will govern any proposed Stipulation of Amount and Nature of Claim, other settlement, other agreement or agreed order that would result in an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in excess of $500,000.
          a. Notice of Proposed Settlement
          In connection with any proposed Stipulation of Amount and Nature of Claim, other settlement, other agreement or agreed order that would result in an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in excess of $500,000 (a “Proposed Settlement”), the Reorganized Debtors will provide the Claims Monitor with notice of such Proposed Settlement and its terms (each, a “Notice of Proposed Settlement”) at least 15 calendar days prior to the filing by the Reorganized Debtors of a motion seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of such Proposed Settlement. Any document executed by the Reorganized Debtors in connection with a Proposed Settlement will expressly state that the terms thereof are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval to the extent the Claims Monitor objects, either informally or formally, to the Proposed Settlement and such objection is not consensually resolved.
          b. Contents of Notice of Proposed Settlement

          c. Settlement Procedures
          Following its receipt of a Notice of Proposed Settlement, the Claims Monitor will have 15 calendar days to review and consider the Proposed Settlement to which such Notice of Proposed Settlement relates. If within such 15-day period the Claims Monitor does not deliver to the Reorganized Debtors written notice of its objection to such Proposed Settlement, the Reorganized Debtors may effectuate the Proposed Settlement without further Bankruptcy Court approval of the Proposed Settlement. If within such 15-day period the Claims Monitor does deliver to the Reorganized Debtors written notice of its objection to such Proposed Settlement, the Claims Monitor and the Reorganized Debtors will negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection. If they cannot resolve such objection within ten calendar days after receipt by the Reorganized Debtors of such notice of objection, the Reorganized Debtors may file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of such Proposed Settlement and the Claims Monitor may object to such Proposed Settlement, provided that, with respect to any Proposed Settlement that would result in an Allowed General Unsecured Claim of greater than $25 million, the Reorganized

9


 

Debtors will not seek Bankruptcy Court approval without the prior consent of the Claims Monitor (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). To the extent that the Reorganized Debtors believe that that the Claims Monitor is unreasonably withholding or delaying consent, the Reorganized Debtors may seek appropriate relief from the Bankruptcy Court.
     4. Fees and Expenses
          Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of the Claims Monitor (including the reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of any professionals assisting the Claims Monitor in carrying out its powers, rights and responsibilities under the Plan) will be funded by the Reorganized Debtors without further order from the Bankruptcy Court.
     5. Exculpation
          Neither the Claims Monitor nor any of its counsel, directors, members, officers, employees, agents, professionals, principals or other representatives, acting in such capacity shall be liable for any act or omission taken or omitted to be take in connection with its rights and responsibilities under the Plan, other than acts or omissions resulting from willful misconduct or gross negligence.
     6. Confidentiality
          All (a) information, documents and matters of whatever nature and kind disclosed by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to the Claims Monitor that are identified by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in writing as being confidential (subject to the right of the Claims Monitor to seek a determination of the Bankruptcy Court after notice to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors declaring that such information, documents or matters are not confidential) and (b) information or documents generated by the Claims Monitor or its professionals for use by the Claims Monitor and which are identified by Claims Monitor as confidential (collectively, “Confidential Material”), will, except as otherwise provided herein, be kept confidential and not be disclosed in any manner whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Material may be disclosed (w) to the Claims Monitor’s directors, officers, employees, members, principals, professional advisors, agents or other representatives who need to know such information and agree to maintain its confidentiality; (x) to governmental or regulatory or self-regulatory authorities as deemed necessary by counsel to the Claims Monitor, (y) to any third party if the Claims Monitor is obligated by law to do so provided that the Claims Monitor seeks to have the third party agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Material or provides advance written notice to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and an opportunity to seek appropriate confidentiality protections, or (z) to the extent such Confidential Material becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Claims Monitor. Notwithstanding the Claims Monitor’s resignation or removal, the resigning or removed Claims Monitor and its representatives shall remain bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

     On the Effective Date or otherwise prior to the initial distributions under Section VI.G.1, the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve will be established by the Disbursing Agent and the Reserved Shares and/or Reserved Excess Minimum Cash will be placed in the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve by the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims in Class 5B and Disputed Claims that become Allowed Claims in Class 5B. For the purpose of calculating the amount of New Dana Holdco Common Stock and/or Excess Minimum Cash to be contributed to the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve, all Disputed Claims will be treated (solely for purposes of establishing the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve) as Allowed Claims in the Face Amount of such Claims as of the Effective Date. In addition, Disputed Claims rendered duplicative as a result of the consolidation of the Consolidated Debtors pursuant to Section VIII.A will only be counted once for purposes of establishing the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve. As Disputed Claims are resolved, the Disbursing Agent shall make adjustments to the reserves for Disputed Claims, but the Reorganized Debtors shall not be required to increase such reserves from and after the Effective Date. The Debtors may File a motion seeking an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving additional procedures for the establishment of the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve., the Reorganized Debtors shall make (or direct the Disbursing Agent to make) appropriate adjustments to the reserves for Disputed Claims consistent with the Plan and the Claims Reserve Order, but the Reorganized Debtors (and any Disbursing Agent) shall not be required to increase such reserves from and after the Effective Date. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors retain the right to seek additional relief from the Bankruptcy Court relating to the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve, as they deem necessary or appropriate, including to implement additional or different procedures not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan with respect to certain Claims or groups of Claims. The Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve will be administered by the Reorganized Debtors consistent to the Plan, the Claims Reserve Order and any further orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
          27. Section VI.E.2 of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     Cash dividends and other distributions received by the Disbursing Agent on account of the Reserved Shares and any Cash deposited into the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve from the Litigation Trust, along with any Cash Investment Yield on Cash, including Net Preference Recovery Proceeds, if any, held in the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve, will (a) be deposited in a segregated bank account in the name of the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims in Class 5B and Disputed Claims that become Allowed Claims in Class 5B, (b) will be accounted for separately and (c) will not constitute property of the Reorganized Debtors. The Disbursing Agent will invest any Cash held in the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve in a manner consistent with Dana’s investment and deposit guidelines.
          28. Section VI.E.3 of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     Each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 5B and each holder of a Disputed Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim in Class 5B will have recourse only to the initial distribution of Distributable Shares of New Dana Holdco Common Stock and Distributable Excess Cash and the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve Assets and not to any other assets held by the Reorganized Debtors, their property or any assets previously distributed on account of any

12


 

Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. Each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 6D will have recourse, to the extent each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 5B has been paid in full, plus Postpetition Interest and Post-Effective Date Interest, only to the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve Assets, if any, and not to any other assets held by any Disbursing Agent, the Reorganized Debtors, their property or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim. Each holder of an Allowed Interest in Class 7A or an Allowed Claim in Class 7B will have recourse, to the extent each holder of an Allowed Claim in Classes 5B and 6D has been paid in full, plus Postpetition Interest and Post-Effective Date Interest, only to the Disputed Unsecured Claims Reserve Assets, if any, and not to any other assets held by any Disbursing Agent, the Litigation Trust, the Litigation Trustee, the Reorganized Debtors, their property or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.
          29. Section VI.F.1.b.v of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to impair, waive or extinguish any rights of the Indenture Trustee with respect to a Charging Lien, provided, however, that any such Charging Lien will be released to the extent provided in the Plan upon payment of the Indenture Trustee’s reasonable fees and expenses in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indentures and this Plan.
          30. Section VI.G.4 of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, Post-Effective Date Interest shall not accrue on account of any Claim.
          31. Section VII.A.2 of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     At the Debtors’ or, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors’ option, any unliquidated Tort Claim (as to which a proof of Claim was timely Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases) not resolved through the ADR Procedures or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court will be determined and liquidated in the administrative or judicial tribunal(s) in which it is pending on the Effective Date or, if no action was pending on the Effective Date, in any administrative or judicial tribunal of appropriate jurisdiction. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may exercise the above option by service upon the holder of the applicable Tort Claim of a notice informing the holder of such Tort Claim that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have exercised such option. Upon a Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s service of such notice, the automatic stay provided under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or after the Effective Date, the discharge injunction, will be deemed modified, without the necessity for further Bankruptcy Court approval, solely to the extent necessary to allow the parties to determine or liquidate the Tort Claim in the applicable administrative or judicial tribunal(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times prior to or after the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction relating to Tort Claims, including the Debtors’ right to have such Claims determined and/or liquidated in the Bankruptcy Court (or the United States District Court having jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases) pursuant to section 157(b)(2)(B) of title 28 of the United States Code, as may be applicable. Any Tort Claim determined and liquidated pursuant to a judgment obtained in accordance with this Section VII.A.2 and applicable non-bankruptcy law that is no longer appealable or subject to review will be deemed an Allowed Claim, as applicable, in Classes 5A and 5B against the

13


 

applicable Debtor in such liquidated amount, provided that only the amount of such Allowed Claim that is less than or equal to the Debtor’s self-insured retention or deductible in connection with any applicable insurance policy and is not satisfied from proceeds of insurance payable to the holder of such Allowed Claim under the Debtors’ insurance policies will be treated as an Allowed Claim for the purposes of distributions under the Plan. In no event will a distribution be made under the Plan to the holder of a Tort Claim on account of any portion of an Allowed Claim in excess of the applicable Debtor’s deductible or self-insured retention under any applicable insurance policy. In the event a Tort Claim is determined and liquidated pursuant to a judgment or order that is obtained in accordance with this Section VII.A.2 and is no longer appealable or subject to review, and applicable non-bankruptcy law provides for no recovery against the applicable Debtor, such Tort Claim will be deemed expunged without the necessity for further Bankruptcy Court approval upon the applicable Debtor’s service of a copy of such judgment or order upon the holder of such Tort Claim. Nothing contained in this Section will constitute or be deemed a waiver of any claim, right or cause of action that a Debtor may have against any person or entity in connection with or arising out of any Tort Claim, including but not limited to any rights under section 157(b)(5) of title 28 of the United States Code. All claims, demands, rights, defenses and causes of action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against any person or entity in connection with or arising out of any Tort Claim are expressly retained and preserved.
          32. Section VII.B.3 of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will have the authority to amend the Schedules with respect to any Claim and to make distributions based on such amended Schedules without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. If any such amendment to the Schedules reduces the amount of a Claim or changes the nature or priority of a Claim, the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor will provide (a) the holder of such Claim and (b) the Creditors’ Committee or Litigation Trustee the Claims Monitor (as applicable) with notice of such amendment and such parties will have 20 days to File an objection to such amendment with the Bankruptcy Court. If no such objection is Filed, the applicable Disbursing Agent may proceed with distributions based on such amended Schedules without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
          33. Section IX.F of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     Enter such orders as may be necessary or appropriate to implement or consummate the provisions of the Plan and all contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, the Litigation Trust Agreement, the Disclosure Statement or the Confirmation Order;
          34. Section IX.G of the Plan is modified and restated as follows:
     Resolve any cases, controversies, suits or disputes that may arise in connection with the consummation, interpretation or enforcement of the Plan, the Litigation Trust Agreement or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document that is entered into or delivered pursuant to the Plan, the Litigation Trust Agreement or any entity’s rights arising from or obligations incurred in connection with the Plan, the Litigation Trust Agreement or such documents;
