  (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:

ARTICLE III
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.

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 Adrian 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 Bill Hurles, of GM, to Jeff Paprocki, 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 Adrian 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 with the Flint East Facility, June 30, 2008, (ii) in the case of any

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 Adrian 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 GM hires 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 things, provide certain support so that Delphi shall no longer have responsibility for production 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 Adrian 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).

     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 mark-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.

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.

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.

          (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.
         
Section 7.05 Reserved.
   
 
Section 7.06 Cancellation Claims.
 
 
          (a) Except as otherwise provided in section 7.06(b) hereof, the Delphi Parties waive and are deemed to have waived (and Delphi shall cause the other Delphi Parties to so waive) any and all claims, debts, obligations, rights, suits, damages, actions, causes of action, remedies, and 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, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter arising, in law, at equity, or otherwise, arising out of or related to cancellation of any purchase orders or termination of any component or material supply agreements (regardless of whether the cancellation or termination occurs prior to or after the date hereof or the Effective Date) concerning products manufactured in the Wind-Down Facilities, the Footprint Facilities and the Sale Facilities; provided, however, that with respect to the Sale Facilities and the 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 or may have against any of the GM Parties or any GM Supplier.
          (b) With respect to any Cancellation Claims that have been asserted as of the Effective Date or may be asserted thereafter by any Delphi Supplier against the Debtors (the “Delphi Supplier Cancellation Claims”):
          (i) the Debtors shall utilize their reasonable best efforts to minimize all Delphi Supplier Cancellation Claims;
          (ii) Delphi shall pay the first $30 million, on a cumulative basis, of any Delphi Supplier Cancellation Claims; and
          (iii) GM shall reimburse the Debtors for 50% of any Delphi Supplier Cancellation Claims actually paid by the Debtors in excess of the $30 million referred to in section 7.06(b)(ii) hereof.
     Section 7.07 Tooling Acknowledgment.
          (a) Delphi acknowledges and agrees that all tooling, fixtures, gauges, jigs, patterns, dies, and molds (collectively, “Tooling”) being used by the Debtors or their respective sub-suppliers in connection with the manufacture of Component Parts for GM, together with 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 agreement which provided that the Debtor’s interest would be other than as a bailee, or (ii) 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.
          (b) Nothing contained in this section 7.07 is intended to create or expand the rights, if any, of GM in any intellectual property owned by any Delphi Party.
     Section 7.08 Reserved.
     Section 7.09 No Undisclosed Agreements or Commitments. There are no undisclosed agreements or commitments between or among the Parties regarding matters subject to the terms of this Agreement.

     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.
     Section 7.15 Representations and Warranties of Delphi and GM. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that the following statements, as applicable to it, are true, correct, and complete as of the date of this Agreement:

          (c) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date; and
          (d) The execution, delivery, and performance by it (when such performance is due) of this Agreement do not and shall not (i) violate any current provision of law, rule, or regulation applicable to it or any of its subsidiaries or its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other 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 rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, including 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 Parties; provided, however, that neither the foregoing nor any other provision of this Agreement shall limit (i) any assignment in connection

with the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Delphi and its Affiliates or (ii) any assignment not reasonably expected to have a material impact on GM, on the benefits GM reasonably is expected to receive under the Plan (including, without limitation, GM’s distributions thereunder), the Settlement Agreement, or this Agreement, or on the ability of the Debtors to fulfill any obligations to any GM-Related Parties under the Plan, the Settlement Agreement, this Agreement, or any agreements assumed, reinstated, or ratified under this Agreement.
