At any time on and after the earlier of (i) October 15, 2011, (ii) the date on which the Bankruptcy Court enters an order converting the Delphi Corporation chapter 11 case into a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) the date on which the Bankruptcy Court enters an order dismissing the Delphi Corporation chapter 11 case, and solely with respect to any respective Union that has not delivered to Delphi and GM the agreement contemplated under Section 2.01 hereof that explicitly and unconditionally authorizes the occurrence of the 414(l) transfer (including the First Net Liability Transfer), the freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of OPEB and the contemporaneous effectiveness of releases on behalf of the GM-Related Parties and Delphi-Related Parties as contained in the respective Benefit Guarantee Term Sheets, Delphi shall take reasonable best efforts to effect the cessation of OPEB and the freeze of the Delphi HRP as to such Union; it being understood that Delphi shall not be obliged to pay any money to any third party in exchange for such cessation or freeze.
Section 2.02 Certain Payments Between GM and Delphi Relating To Hourly Employee Benefits.
(a) Cessation of Delphi OPEB. Subject to the applicable Labor MOUs, Delphi shall amend the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees so as to cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB as of the earliest date(s), if any, agreed upon by each of the respective Union(s) (the Cessation Date(s)). The parties understand that the Cessation Date(s) may vary among each of the respective unions according to each respective unions agreement and with respect to corresponding groups of Delphi retirees. In this regard, GM shall provide OPEB following each Cessation Date only to the extent as set forth in the respective Labor MOUs. GM shall use its best efforts to begin to administer OPEB on or before the 90th day after the applicable Cessation Date(s) or as soon as practicable thereafter.
(b) GM Reimbursement for Delphi OPEB Costs. Notwithstanding any Labor MOU, on the Effective Date, GM shall assume financial responsibility to Delphi for all Delphi OPEB liability from and after the Effective Date, in order to put Delphi in the same financial position it would be in if the Cessation Date had occurred and Delphi had been relieved of any liability relating to OPEB as set forth in the section 2.02(a) of this Agreement. In order to implement and satisfy GMs assumption of financial responsibility for Delphi OPEB pursuant to the preceding sentence (and GMs agreement to reimburse Delphi for certain OPEB costs for the period commencing on January 1, 2007), GM shall reimburse Delphis aggregate cash spending for all actual, documented amounts paid by Delphi to provide OPEB to hourly retirees under the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees as specified in section 2.02(b)(ii)(1 through 3) and 2.02(d),
GSA-19
reduced by the amounts set forth in section 2.02(b)(ii)(4 and 5) (OPEB Reimbursement Amount) for the period commencing on January 1, 2007 and continuing through the earlier of the date when GM begins to administer OPEB following an applicable Cessation Date or Delphis cessation of OPEB pursuant to section 2.01 hereof (the Reimbursement Period). The Parties understand that, because the Cessation Date(s) may vary among each of the respective Unions according to each respective Unions agreement and with respect to corresponding groups of Delphi retirees, the Reimbursement Period may also vary among each of the respective Unions. As a result, GM shall reimburse the OPEB Reimbursement Amount for each such Reimbursement Period as follows:
(i) Reimbursement Process.
(1) For the period January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, GM will reimburse Delphi for all properly invoiced and documented OPEB Reimbursement Amounts, reduced by an estimate of applicable credits under section 2.02(b)(ii)(4 and 5), on the later of the Effective Date and the date which is two (2) business days after Delphi has provided written notice to GM of the date on which the Effective Date will occur.
(2) For the period July 1, 2008 through the Effective Date, GM and Delphi will meet and confer within five business days of the Effective Date to establish a reasonable estimate of the OPEB Reimbursement Amount for such period, including an estimate of applicable credits under section 2.02(b)(ii)(4 and 5). Within five business days of establishing the estimate, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, GM will reimburse Delphi 90 percent of such estimated amount. Within 30 days of the Effective Date, Delphi will submit to GM all of the documentation referenced in section 2.02(c)(i) through 2.02(c)(vi) hereof supporting Delphis actual cost for such amounts along with a representation from Delphi that such documentation is substantially complete and substantially accurate in all respects. Within 30 days of its receipt of this documentation from Delphi, and subject to section 2.02(b)(ii)(4 and 5), GM will reimburse the shortfall between the 90 percent reimbursed estimate and Delphis actual OPEB Reimbursement Amount for this period. In the event the 90 percent reimbursement based on the estimated amount is greater than the final determination of Delphis OPEB Reimbursement Amount for this period, Delphi shall reimburse to GM the amount of the overpayment or GM, in its discretion, may take such overpayment as an offset or credit for amounts payable under section 2.02(b)(i)(3 or 4).
(3) For the period from the Effective Date through the earlier of the date when GM begins to administer OPEB following an applicable Cessation Date or Delphis cessation of OPEB pursuant to section 2.01 hereof, GM and Delphi will meet and confer within five business days of the Effective Date to establish a reasonable monthly estimate of the OPEB Reimbursement Amount, calculated separately for hourly retirees on a union-by-union basis for each month during such period, including an estimate of applicable credits under section 2.02(b)(ii)(4 and 5). Within five business days of the first day of each month thereafter, GM will pay Delphi 90 percent of such estimated monthly amount, continuing on a month-to-month basis through the applicable Reimbursement Period. Such estimated monthly amount shall be reduced by the pro-rata amount attributable to each union for which a Cessation Date occurs within such month and for each month following such Cessation Date. Within 30 days after the last day of each month, or at such time as soon thereafter as documentation is available,
GSA-20
Delphi will submit to GM all of the documentation referenced in section 2.02(c)(i) through 2.02(c)(vi) hereof supporting Delphis actual cost for such amounts along with a representation from Delphi that such documentation is substantially complete and substantially accurate in all respects. Within 30 days of its receipt of this documentation from Delphi, and subject to section 2.02(b)(ii)(4 and 5), GM will reimburse the shortfall between the 90 percent reimbursed estimate and Delphis actual monthly OPEB Reimbursement Amount. In the event the 90 percent reimbursement based on the estimated amount is greater than Delphis actual monthly OPEB Reimbursement Amount, Delphi shall reimburse to GM the amount of the overpayment or GM, in its discretion, may take such overpayment as an offset or credit for any subsequent monthly amounts payable under this section 2.02(b)(i)(3) or any subsequent payments pursuant to section 2.02(b)(i)(4).
(4) In addition, with respect to the actual self-insured Medical Claims described in section 2.02(b)(ii)(1), GM also will reimburse Delphi for claims incurred within the Reimbursement Period that are paid by Delphi during the six month period following the Reimbursement Period within 30 days of GMs receipt from Delphi all of the documentation referenced in section 2.02(c)(i) through 2.02(c)(vi) hereof supporting Delphis actual cost for such amounts along with a representation from Delphi that such documentation is substantially complete and substantially accurate in all respects and subject to section 2.02(b)(ii)(4 and 5) and GMs right to apply any overpayment remaining from previously made estimated payments as an offset or credit to payments under this section 2.02(b)(i)(4).
(ii) OPEB Reimbursement Amount Calculation. The OPEB Reimbursement Amount will be calculated in accordance with the following:
(1) The actual self-insured Medical Claims (HSM, Durable Medical Equipment, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Prescription Drug, Dental and Vision) for hourly retirees incurred in the Reimbursement Period and paid by Delphi within six months of the end of the applicable Reimbursement Period; plus the estimated additional claims costs completion value (the Completion Costs) for incurred but not paid claims for hourly retirees as calculated by Watson Wyatt and agreed to by GM (the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount). No additional reimbursement shall be provided for the value of any medical claims costs associated with payment run-out not comprehended by the six-month period and Completion Costs.
(2) The actual paid HMO and DHMO premiums for hourly retirees (the Actual HMO and DHMO Premiums) for the Reimbursement Period.
(3) Actual administration fees paid to Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees carriers (the Carrier Administrative Fees) based only on Delphi hourly retired contract counts for the Reimbursement Period; provided, however, that for carriers whom Delphi does not pay on a per contract basis, the Carrier Administrative Fees shall be determined by taking Delphis total administrative fees paid to such carrier during the Reimbursement Period, dividing that amount by the total population of Delphi participants serviced by the carrier during the Reimbursement Period, and then multiplying the quotient by the total number of retirees for whose OPEB GM is obligated to reimburse Delphi during the Reimbursement Period.
GSA-21
(4) Allocated actual Prescription Drug Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) rebates (the Actual Prescription Drug PBM Rebate Amount) received by Delphi from its PBM for the value of Delphi hourly retiree Prescription Drug claims for the Reimbursement Period. The Actual Prescription Drug PBM Rebate Amount shall consist of the amount of total PBM rebates attributable to hourly retirees received by Delphi for claims incurred during the Reimbursement Period. The Actual Prescription Drug PBM Rebate Amount shall be a credit against GMs payment of the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount. If the Actual Prescription Drug PBM Rebate Amount is not available at the time a payment of the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount is due under section 2.02(b)(i), GMs payment to Delphi of the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount shall be reduced by the estimate of the Actual Prescription Drug PBM Rebate Amount, which shall be reconciled upon receipt of any remaining documentation under section 2.02(c)(iv) and (c)(v) hereof.
(5) Actual Medicare Part D subsidy receipts related to Prescription Drug claims for Delphi hourly retirees incurred during the Reimbursement Period (the Medicare Part D Subsidy Receipts). The Medicare Part D Subsidy Receipts shall be a credit against GMs payment of the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount. If the Medicare Part D Subsidy Receipts amount is not available at the time a payment of the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount is due under section 2.02(b)(i), GMs payment to Delphi of the payment of the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount shall be reduced by the estimate of the Medicare Part D subsidy, which shall be reconciled upon receipt of any remaining documentation under section 2.02(c)(iv) and (c)(v) hereof.
(6) Within 180 days after the end of the Reimbursement Period, Delphi shall advise GM of any open credits, uncollected receivables, potential litigation settlements or other recoverable amounts directly associated with or allocable to Delphi hourly retirees for Medical Claims incurred in the applicable Reimbursement Period. At that time, GM and Delphi shall establish a mutually agreed upon process to ensure GM is reimbursed these recoverable amounts within thirty (30) days of Delphis receipt of such recoveries. GM shall only be reimbursed for credits, uncollected receivables, potential litigation settlements, or other recoverable amounts to the extent GM paid Delphi for the initial claim; provided, however, that where such amounts are not tied to specific claims, the reimbursement amount shall be determined as follows: (x) for carriers and service providers that only provide services relating to Delphis hourly plan, the reimbursement amount shall be determined by taking the amount of the credits, uncollected receivables, potential litigation settlements, and other recoverable amounts, dividing that amount by the total population of Delphi hourly participants, and then multiplying the quotient by the total number of Delphis hourly retirees, and (y) for carriers and service providers which provide services for both the Delphi and salaried plans, the reimbursement amount shall be determined by taking the amount of the credits, uncollected receivables, potential litigation settlements, and other recoverable amounts, dividing that amount by the total population of Delphi participants, and then multiplying the quotient by the total number of Delphis hourly retirees.
(7) Escheatment responsibility for self-insured carriers uncashed checks, including those payments reimbursed by GM pursuant to section 2.02(b) hereof, remain with Delphi or its carriers. GM does not assume any responsibility for escheatments related to the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees.
GSA-22
(8) Any hourly retiree claims appeals associated with Medical Claims or HMO and DHMO premiums incurred in the Reimbursement Period and any retroactive adjustments related to section 2.02(b)(ii)(2) and (b)(ii)(4) hereof not comprehended in the original billing documentation shall be aggregated and addressed once per year following the final reimbursement payment.
(c) Health Care Information Sharing. GM shall execute the PHI Protection Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Subject to GMs execution of the PHI Protection Agreement, Delphi shall provide (to the extent available) GM with the eligibility records, self-insured Medical Claims, and insured health care arrangements for Delphi retirees for health care coverage provided by Delphi during the Reimbursement Period. The following documentation (to the extent available), including social security numbers and all identifying information, shall be made readily available to GM to document Delphis costs for the Delphi retirees, surviving spouses and dependents:
(i) To document all incurred and paid self-insured Medical Claims (the Medical Claims Reimbursement Amount), Delphi shall provide to GM, as of the Cessation Date and monthly thereafter for a period of six months, full electronic claims and eligibility records, as available, transferred from Delphis data warehouse to GMs similar data warehouse. Delphi shall also provide to GM claims data, in a mutually agreeable format, to document self-insured dental and vision coverages;
(ii) To document Actual HMO and DHMO Premiums, Delphi shall provide to GM, as of the Cessation Date, a data file listing all of the Delphi retirees enrolled for coverage under these insured arrangements along with the plan name, family status, and total individual monthly premium paid;
(iii) To document Carrier Administrative Fees, Delphi shall provide GM mutually agreed upon eligibility records supporting hourly retiree contract counts and appropriate Carrier agreement schedules that document per contract administrative fees;
(iv) To document the Actual Prescription Drug PBM Rebate Amount, Delphi shall provide PBM, banking, or other cash disbursement records to substantiate the amount of total PBM rebates received by Delphi for claims incurred during the Reimbursement Period and the amount of total Delphi prescription drug claims incurred during the Reimbursement Period;
(v) To document final Medicare Part D Subsidy Receipts, Delphi shall provide a data file, in a mutually agreeable format, of complete claim levels Medicare Part D subsidy reimbursement records and rebate factors applied; and
(vi) Delphi shall also provide the most recent documentation and audit papers relative to claims or eligibility records along with
GSA-23
supporting documentation on collection of overpayments incurred but not fully collected during the Reimbursement Period;
(vii) GM recognizes that some of the information that Delphi will provide pursuant to this section 2.02 is proprietary to Delphi and its carriers and administrators. GM agrees that such information, which Delphi identifies in writing as being proprietary, including but not limited to rebate amounts, carrier administrative fees, and HMO/DHMO premium rates, shall not be disclosed to third parties (other than GMs employees, agents, and advisors) except to the extent required by law, or to the extent such information otherwise becomes publicly available.
(d) Post-Retirement Basic Life Insurance Reimbursement. GM agrees that reimbursement payments for employer-paid, post-retirement life insurance premiums and administration of employer-paid, post-retirement life insurance incurred during the Reimbursement Period and paid by Delphi shall be made in accordance with the Reimbursement Process specified in section 2.02(b)(i).
(i) Until Covered Employees can be enrolled in the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program and the systems that support that program, Delphi shall maintain administration of the hourly employer-paid, post-retirement life insurance benefits for employees through the current administrator (MetLife). Delphi and its current administrator shall assist GM in the transition of records to the GM life insurance administrator to be completed by March 1, 2009 or such other date as may be required in accordance with the applicable Labor MOUs.
(ii) Delphi shall immediately direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its life insurance carrier (MetLife) to transfer to GM current reserves as of January 1, 2007, associated with Delphi hourly employer-paid, post-retirement life insurance.
(iii) Delphi shall immediately direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Optional Life, Dependent Life and Personal Accident Insurance Plan carrier (MetLife) to transfer the Delphi Rate Reduction Reserves for the Optional Life, Dependent Life and Personal Accident Insurance Plans to GM. The amount that will be transferred for each plan shall be calculated by MetLife using the methodology agreed upon for flowbacks and check the box retirees. Upon the transfer, GM shall assume any and all obligations from Delphi to provide the benefits relating to the Delphi Rate Reduction Reserves for the Optional Life, Dependent Life and Personal Accident Insurance Plans transferred.
(e) Delphi Payments for Benefit Avoidance.
(i) Consistent with the applicable Benefit Guarantee Term Sheet, neither Delphi, a successor company, nor any Delphi operation divested after October 8, 2005 shall provide to Covered Employees any payments, contributions (matching or otherwise), or accruals to any defined benefit plan, defined contribution plan, or retiree welfare benefit plan (including, but not limited to payments, contributions, or accruals in a retiree medical account):

(2) relating to OPEB, to any Covered Employee or other employee who attains or can attain eligibility for GM provided or GM funded OPEB through any means; provided, however, that UAW-represented employees shall not be excluded solely by reason of the possibility that they could flow back to GM and, provided further, that IUE-CWA represented employees shall not be excluded solely by reason of the possibility that they could participate in the SEPO (i.e., Attachment G to the IUE-CWA MOU).
(ii) UAW-Represented Covered Employees. Relating to pension, when UAW represented Covered Employees accrue credited service in the GM HRP pursuant to section F.2.b.1 of the UAW MOU, the UAW Benefit Guarantee Term Sheet, and section b. of the UAW Benefit Guarantee, Delphi shall pay GM annually, by January 31 of each year for the preceding calendar year, an amount equal to (x) the FAS-87 service cost for a non-elective 5.4% of wages contribution to the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP that, but for the UAW MOU, these Covered Employees would otherwise be eligible for under the UAW-Delphi Supplemental Agreement dated April 29, 2004, as amended; provided, however, that such amount shall be adjusted for interest based on Delphis discount rate for FAS-87 pension accounting, and/or (y) if Delphi provides accruals in or contributions to any other defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan, the FAS-87 service cost of such benefits/accruals or the amount of such contributions that, but for the UAW MOU, such Covered Employees would otherwise be eligible for, provided, however, that such amount shall be adjusted for interest based on Delphis discount rate for FAS-87 pension accounting.

Section 2.03 Treatment of Delphis Pension Plans. To help facilitate the Debtors business and financial restructuring, the Parties have resolved certain matters concerning Delphis pension obligations by entering into the Labor MOUs, all of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. The Parties agree to the following actions with respect to Delphis pension plans:
(a) Pension Freeze. Delphi shall amend the Delphi HRP as set forth in each of the Labor MOUs so as to freeze benefit accruals for future service as of September 29, 2008 or the earliest date thereafter as permitted by law and the applicable Labor MOUs (and such date, as determined and applied separately for each Labor MOU, is hereinafter referred to
GSA-28
the Freeze Date); provided, however, that the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP and the continuation of credited service for the Delphi employees participating in Delphi PRP of the SAPs are not required to be frozen.
(b) GM Reimbursement for Certain Delphi Contributions.
(i) Subject to section 2.03(b)(iii) below, GM shall reimburse Delphi for contributions actually made on or before each Freeze Date by Delphi to the Delphi HRP in respect of the Normal Cost of credited service accrued between January 1, 2007 and the earlier of such Freeze Date or Delphis freeze of the Delphi HRP pursuant to section 2.01 hereof in the Delphi HRP by participants whose accrued benefits (and allocable assets and liabilities) were transferred or intended to be transferred to the Delphi HRP in the spin-off of the Delphi HRP from the GM HRP in 1999 (after taking into consideration all subsequent true-up transfers) and attributable to the participants to which such Freeze Date applies. Such reimbursement payments shall be made by GM to Delphi (i) in the case of such contributions that were made prior to the Effective Date, within thirty (30) days following GMs receipt of the agreed-upon calculation from Watson Wyatt of the Normal Cost (as defined in section 2.03(b)(iv) below) and (ii) in the case of such contributions that are made after the Effective Date, within thirty (30) days after each quarterly or minimum contribution due date by which Delphi has made such contributions, provided Delphi has delivered to GM the agreed-upon calculation from Watson Wyatt of the Normal Cost (as defined in section 2.03(b)(iv) below) on or before such quarterly or minimum contribution due date. GM shall not be obligated to reimburse Delphi for any contributions arising for any period of credited service earned by any current or former Delphi employee after the applicable Freeze Date.
(ii) If the Second Net Liability Transfer occurs and subject to section 2.03(b)(iii) below, GM shall reimburse Delphi, without duplication, for any contributions required to be made by Delphi to the Delphi HRP in full or partial satisfaction of the minimum statutory funding requirements for the period October 1, 2008 through the Second Transfer Date and actually made by Delphi during such period to the Delphi HRP and associated with the liabilities transferred from the Delphi HRP to the GM HRP pursuant to the Second Net Liability Transfer. Such reimbursement shall be made by GM after the Second Transfer Date and within thirty (30) days after receipt by GM of the agreed-upon calculation from Watson Wyatt of the aforesaid amounts required to be and actually contributed by Delphi to the Delphi HRP. GM shall not be obligated to reimburse Delphi for any contributions arising for any period of credited service earned after the Second Transfer Date by any current or former Delphi employee. In the event that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determines subsequent to the Second Transfer Date that Delphi is required to make an additional contribution to the Delphi HRP in respect of transferred benefit liabilities in the Second Net Liability Transfer, then GM shall reimburse Delphi the amount of such contribution and Delphi shall cause a transfer of such amount from the Delphi HRP to the GM HRP as an additional part of the Second Net Liability Transfer. Such reimbursement by GM shall be made as to
GSA-29
permit Delphi to make such contribution on a timely basis (and not later than the applicable due date).
(iii) GM shall not be obligated to reimburse Delphi pursuant to Sections 2.03(b)(i) or (ii) above with respect to contributions attributable to (a) employees participating in the 2006 UAW or IUE-CWA Special Attrition Programs and, for employees participating in the pre-retirement program option in the 2007 UAW, IUE-CWA, or USWA Special Attrition Program Transformation, other than contributions actually made by Delphi to the Delphi HRP in respect of the Normal Cost of credited service accrued following the commencement of the pre-retirement program period in accordance with the SAPs, and (b) credited service pursuant to Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP; except to the extent that any such contributions are included in Transferred Asset Amount associated with the Second Transfer Date.
(iv) Normal Cost shall be defined as the current liability normal cost (as defined under ERISA calculated at the highest allowable interest rate) incurred from time to time by Delphi to the Delphi HRP for credited service earned by such individuals in the specified time period less the normal cost that would have been incurred with respect to such individuals during this time period had the Delphi HRP been frozen as of January 1, 2007. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, current liability normal cost shall be replaced with target liability normal cost as defined in the Pension Protection Act (PPA) based on the relevant elections made by Delphi with respect to service credited on or after October 1, 2008. The reimbursement payment amount pursuant to sections 2.03(b)(i) or (ii) hereof shall be calculated by Watson Wyatt acting on behalf of Delphi and confirmed by Watson Wyatt acting on behalf of GM.
(c) Transfer of Certain Pension-Related Assets and Liabilities.
(i) Delphi and GM shall cause separate transfers of pension assets and liabilities from the Delphi HRP to the GM HRP as set forth herein. The transfers shall have no effect on the amount of accrued pension benefits for employees who either remain in the Delphi HRP or are transferred to the GM HRP. Such transfers shall be in the amounts set forth in section 2.03(c)(iii) hereof and shall be conducted in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code and Section 208 of ERISA.
(ii) IRS Ruling. The transfer shall be subject to the IRS ruling issued to Delphi and GM on May 29, 2007 related to the transfer (the IRS Ruling), as applicable.
(iii) Mechanics.
(1) For purposes of this Agreement, the Transfer Date shall mean each separate effective date of each 414(l) transfer, and the First Net Liability Transfer and the Second Net Liability Transfer shall be separate 414(l)
GSA-30
transfers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Net Liability Transfer is defined as the FAS-87 Projected Benefit Obligation (the PBO) transferred from the Delphi HRP as of the applicable Transfer Date, based on GMs assumptions and methods as of December 31, 2007 for annual pension expense purposes of the GM HRP and including the discount rate of the GM HRP as of the last day of the month the transfer takes place (the Gross Liability), less the market value of corresponding assets calculated pursuant to Section 414(l) of the Code and the IRS Ruling, as it relates to the Delphi HRP transfer, using assumptions and methods agreed to with the IRS and agreed upon by GM and Delphi actuaries, that are transferred to the GM HRP as of the Transfer Date (the Transferred Asset Amount). The Net Liability Transfer shall be determined separately with respect to each 414(l) transfer.
(2) With respect to the First Net Liability Transfer and the Second Net Liability Transfer separately, Delphi shall make the transfer of the applicable Transferred Asset Amount in two tranches. The first tranche shall be completed within 10 days of the applicable Transfer Date, or such later date as agreed to by GM and Delphi (the First Tranche Date). The second tranche shall be completed within six months of the applicable First Tranche Date, or such later date as agreed to by GM and Delphi (the Second Tranche Date).
(A) With the first tranche, 90% (or such lesser percentage as agreed to by Delphi and GM) of the applicable Transferred Asset Amount shall be transferred from the Delphi HRP to the GM HRP based on the most recent valuation work by Delphis actuaries, Watson Wyatt, projected to the applicable Transfer Date (the Preliminary Transferred Asset Amount). The Delphi HRP shall make all benefit payments in respect of the applicable Gross Liability being transferred after the applicable Transfer Date and through the end of the sixth month beginning after the applicable Transfer Date or, if not administratively practicable, such other date as may be agreed by Delphi and GM (Benefit Transition Period). In the event these benefit payments exceed the remainder of the applicable Transferred Asset Amount, the GM HRP shall reimburse the Delphi HRP for such excess amount of benefit payments with applicable interest at the FAS-87 discount rate for the GM HRP used to calculate the applicable Net Liability Transfer. The GM HRP shall make all benefit payments attributable to the transferred Gross Liability after the applicable Benefit Transition Period.
(B) The second tranche shall consist of the remaining plan assets (the True-up Amount) necessary to be transferred so that 100% of the applicable Transferred Asset Amount is transferred. The True-Up Amount shall equal the amount of the 414(l) assets based on actual data as of the applicable Transfer Date less the Preliminary Transferred Asset Amount and benefit payments by the Delphi HRP after the applicable Transfer Date in respect of the corresponding Gross Liability being transferred. The assets transferred on the First or Second Tranche Date shall be adjusted to reflect the Delphi HRPs actual rate of return on assets for the time period between the applicable Transfer Date and the date the assets are actually transferred to the GM HRP.
GSA-31
(3) Additional terms of the Net Liability Transfers, including the determination of the participants for whom benefit liabilities and corresponding assets shall be included in the transfer, shall be as set forth in the applicable Labor MOUs.
(4) The First Net Liability Transfer will occur no later than September 29, 2008 (the First Transfer Date). The First Net Liability Transfer from the Delphi HRP to the GM HRP shall be equal to an amount necessary to avoid any accumulated funding deficiency for the Delphi HRP for the plan year ended September 30, 2008 calculated as of the First Transfer Date, but in no event in an amount less than $2.1 billion or more than $2.4 billion (the First Net Liability Transfer).
(5) The Second Net Liability Transfer will occur upon the GSA Consummation Date (the Second Transfer Date). The Second Net Liability Transfer from the Delphi HRP to the GM HRP shall include all allocable assets and liabilities, under the Delphi HRP for participants whose accrued benefits (and allocable assets and liabilities) were transferred or intended to be transferred to the Delphi HRP in the spin-off of the Delphi HRP from the GM HRP in 1999 (after taking into consideration all subsequent true-up transfers) calculated as of the Second Transfer Date (the Second Net Liability Transfer).
(iv) Delphi Obligation for Delphi Active PRP Participants. For active Delphi PRP participants included in the Delphi HRP transfer on the First Transfer Date or Second Transfer Date, GM shall assume the responsibility for providing future service for this population under the GM HRP subject to Delphi providing GM with compensation equal to the value of this additional obligation (Incremental PRP Obligation) through a direct cash payment on the applicable Transfer Date and in accordance with the applicable Labor MOU. The Incremental PRP Obligation shall equal the difference between:
(1) The present value of benefits (PVB) for Delphi PRP participants assuming the full Delphi HRP basic benefit and early retirement supplement (and related benefits) payable at thirty (30) years of credited service shall be earned; and
(2) The PBO for Delphi PRP participants including the portion of the Delphi HRP basic benefit and early retirement supplement (and related benefits) earned based on credited service on the Transfer Date. For this purpose, the early retirement supplement shall be deemed earned pro rata over thirty (30) years of service, even though a participant who terminates before thirty (30) years of service generally is not entitled to a supplement.
(3) The PBO and PVB referenced in this section 2.03(c)(iv) shall be calculated based on GMs assumptions and methods as of the latest measurement date for pension expense purposes of the GM HRP and
GSA-32
the discount rate as of the last day of the month in which the Transfer Date takes place.
(v) Description of Delphi Pension Trust. Assets of the Delphi HRP are held in a master pension trust (the Delphi Pension Trust) and the assets of the GM HRP are also held in a pension trust (the GM Pension Trust). The Delphi Pension Trust and the GM Pension Trust have assets invested in the same commingled trusts and other investment vehicles. The assets involve a combination of privately held and publicly held securities and other investment forms. The determination of which Delphi HRP assets are ultimately transferred on the First and Second Transfer Dates, with GMIMCos assistance, shall be mutually agreed by Delphi and GM. The determination shall be in accordance with the 414(l) asset allocation of the Delphi HRP participant liabilities to be transferred. Assets shall be transferred in-kind in a trust-to-trust transfer.
(d) Rights to Review Calculations. Each Partys actuaries shall have the right to review the actuarial calculations, including underlying actuarial assumptions, for payments referenced in this section 2.03. Delphi and GM shall comply with reasonable requests from the other companys principal outside corporate auditors regarding this section 2.03.
(e) Information List. Delphi shall provide to GM within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date an initial list of the following information as of the Effective Date for all Delphi active (with a seniority date on or before May 28, 1999) and retired hourly employees: social security number, name, birth date, credited service, wage rate, union affiliation, and active or retired status, and whether Delphi has them designated as a Covered Employee. The final determination of who is a Covered Employee shall be made by GM. The list shall also include information regarding surviving spouses of potential Covered Employees who may have a pension benefit under the Retirement Equity Act of 1984. Three months after the initial list is provided, Delphi shall provide a final list with the information requested.
(f) Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any payment by GM or Delphi of any invoiced amount pursuant to this section 2.03 shall be subject to the right of GM or Delphi, as applicable and to the extent permitted by and in compliance with applicable law, to offset all or part of such payment as provided in section 7.04 hereof.

Section 4.04 Consideration to be Received by GM.
(a) In connection with the transfer of certain pension assets and liabilities set forth in Section 2.03(c) hereof, GM shall receive the following consideration.
(i) Upon the occurrence of the First Transfer Date and completion of the First Net Liability Transfer, GM shall receive an allowed administrative expense claim under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in an amount equal to 77.5% of the First Net Liability Transfer; provided, however, that in no event shall such amount be less than $1.6275 billion or greater than $1.86 billion (the First Net Liability Transfer Claim).
(ii) Upon the occurrence of the Second Transfer Date and completion of the Second Net Liability Transfer, GM shall receive an allowed administrative expense claim under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in an amount equal $2.055 billion less the amount of the First Liability Transfer Claim (the Second Net Liability Transfer Claim).
(b) Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, GM shall receive an allowed general unsecured claim in the amount of $2.5 billion (the GM Unsecured Claim); provided, however, that GM shall receive no distribution on such claim unless and until other holders of general unsecured claims (exclusive for all purposes of this section 4.04(b) of holders of TOPrS Claims, as defined in the 2007 Plan), shall have received distributions equal in value to 20% of such holders allowed general unsecured claims, the amount of such distributions to be based on the equity value of reorganized Delphi as set forth in the Disclosure Statement and such distribution to be determined exclusive of participation by such holders in any rights offering or similar undertaking. Once the other holders of general unsecured claims have received distributions equal to 20% of their allowed general unsecured claims exclusive of any value received as a result of participation by such holders in any rights offering or similar undertaking, GM shall receive any and all distributions on account of the GM Unsecured Claim until the value of such distributions is equal to 20% of the GM Unsecured Claim. Thereafter, the GM Unsecured Claim shall be pari passu with all other allowed general unsecured claims.
(c) If the GSA Consummation Date occurs and substantially all of the Debtors core businesses are revested in the reorganized Debtors, any distributions to GM as set forth in subsection (a) or (b) of this section 4.04 shall be in convertible preferred stock in reorganized Delphi, the material terms of which are set forth in Exhibit F; provided, however, that it is a condition to GM receiving such preferred stock in lieu of payment of the administrative expense claim referred to in subsection (a) of this section 4.04 and the GM Unsecured Claim that exit financing for such plan of reorganization not exceed $3 billion (plus a
GSA-47
revolving credit facility) and that there be no equity securities issued pursuant to any Plan that are senior to or pari passu with the preferred stock issued to GM as provided hereunder.
(d) GM consents to, and hereby irrevocably waives its right to object to, any Delphi Plan that would, if confirmed and implemented, satisfy the definition of GSA Consummation Date in this Agreement.
(e) The consideration to be received by GM pursuant to this section 4.04 and the survival of the GM Surviving Claims shall be in (i) satisfaction of all claims asserted or assertable under sections 501, 502, 503, 506, and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise by the GM-Related Parties against the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases or in any subsequent liquidation under Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, including those asserted in the GM Proof of Claim, and (ii) settlement of the GM Proof of Claim.

Section 7.20 Entire Agreement; Parties Intentions; Construction. This Agreement, including all agreements incorporated by reference herein (e.g., the Labor MOUs, the Non-Represented Employees Term Sheet and the Transaction Facilitation Agreement (as defined in the Restructuring Agreement)) 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 supersede 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 the Restructuring 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 Parties intentions. In any action to enforce or interpret this Agreement, this Agreement shall be construed in a neutral manner, and no term or provision of this Agreement, or this Agreement as a whole, shall be construed more or less favorably to any Party.
Section 7.21 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. 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 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.
