NOTICE OF POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS TO DEBTORS’ DISCLOSURE STATEMENT WITH
RESPECT TO JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF DELPHI CORPORATION AND
CERTAIN AFFILIATES, DEBTORS AND DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION AND
CERTAIN APPENDICES AND EXHIBITS RELATED THERETO
(“POTENTIAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AMENDMENTS NOTICE”)

 


 

          1. On March 31, 2006, Delphi Corporation and its affiliated debtors-in-possession and global non-debtor affiliates outlined the key tenets of a transformation plan that the Company believes would enable Delphi to return to stable, profitable business operations on a consolidated basis. The Debtors believe that the majority of goals outlined in the March, 2006 transformation plan have been completed, and that the benefits to be obtained by the Debtors in their chapter 11 reorganization have been largely realized. Consequently, the Debtors believe that the macroeconomic and automotive-centric “deal risks” that potentially face the Debtors in continuing in their chapter 11 cases on a voluntary basis for an extended period of time, when combined with the liquidity requirements of the Debtors’ now-implemented five year business plan, make a prompt emergence from chapter 11 during the first quarter of 2008 the most prudent and value maximizing course of action for Delphi and its stakeholders.
          2. Since the Debtors filed the Plan on September 6, 2007, the availability of the financing terms assumed in the Plan have not been realized (which has resulted in the Debtors pursuing a modified exit financing strategy that will result in less cash available for use as “currency” in the Plan. In addition, the 2008 business plan has been revised to reflect reduced volume production forecasts for General Motors North America and to account for the revised capital structure developed consensually with the Creditors’ Committee, Plan Investors and GM and which is necessary to obtain their support. As a result, Delphi undertook discussions with several of its constituencies following the filing of the Plan and Disclosure Statement during September and October, 2007. These discussions led to the Potential Amendments that are the subject of this notice filing.
          3. Except for a junior claims class and an interests class, the proposed changes in Plan treatment are largely based on the change in Plan currency. These changes,

which do not generally affect the amount of recoveries for the various stakeholders (except several of the most junior classes) are a result of the Debtors’ need to preserve and maximize business enterprise value by consummating the Plan, the settlements embodied in the Plan, and the ability of the Plan Investors to make contributions to the Debtors’ reorganization. Each of the Debtors’ stakeholders places a different value on the settlements embodied in the Plan, but the Debtors believe that a prompt consummation of the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors, the estates, and their stakeholders. When evaluated in reasonable context, the Debtors believe that the Potential Amendments constitute a rational solution set for the challenges confronting the Debtors and result in the least disruption to value and value allocation that an be achieved on a consensual basis with creditors, settling parties, and plan investors.
Procedural Background
          4. On September 6, 2007, Delphi Corporation (“Delphi” or the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates, debtors and debtors-in-possession in the above-captioned cases (the “Debtors”), filed their Motion For Order Approving (I) Disclosure Statement, (II) Record Date, Voting Deadline, And Procedures For Temporary Allowance Of Certain Claims, (III) Hearing Date To Consider Confirmation Of Plan, (IV) Procedures For Filing Objections To Plan, (V) Solicitation Procedures For Voting On Plan, (VI) Cure Claim Procedures, (VII) Procedures For Resolving Disputes Relating To Postpetition Interest, And (VIII) Reclamation Claim Procedures, dated September 6, 2007 (Docket No. 9266) (the “Solicitation Procedures Motion”). On the same date, the Debtors also filed the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Delphi Corporation and Certain Affiliates, Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession, dated September 6, 2007 (Docket No. 9263) (the “Plan”), and the Disclosure Statement With Respect To Joint Plan Of Reorganization Of Delphi Corporation And Certain Affiliates, Debtors

And Debtors-In-Possession (Docket No. 9264), dated September 6, 2007 (the “Disclosure Statement”). The hearing to consider the Solicitation Procedures Motion and the adequacy of the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement was scheduled for October 3, 2007, with an objection deadline of September 28, 2007.
          5. The hearing on the Solicitation Procedures Motion commenced on October 3, 2007. At the hearing, several potential objectors were granted additional time to evaluate the Solicitation Procedures Motion and the Disclosure Statement.1 The Debtors also advised the Court that certain amendments to the Plan and Disclosure Statement were being considered by the Debtors in connection with exit financing and key stakeholder discussions (the “Potential Amendments”). Several objections to the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement were resolved or overruled at the October 3, 2007 hearing, and the hearing was continued to October 25, 2007.2
          6. After the hearing on October 3, discussions continued between the Debtors, their stakeholders (including the Creditors’ Committee and the Equity Committee), the Plan Investors, and GM. As noted above, the discussions among the stakeholders were necessitated by, among other things, a severe shift in the capital markets that forced the Debtors to review their proposed emergence capital structure. These discussion continued for several weeks in October, which led the Debtors to request a continuance of the second day of the hearing on the Solicitation Procedures Motion and the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement to
 
1   The remaining Objectors are the Creditors’ Committee, the Equity Committee, A-D Acquisition Holdings, LLC (an affiliate of Appaloosa Management L.P.) as lead plan investor under the Plan, GM, the Ad Hoc Committee of Trade Creditors, Wilmington Trust Company as indenture trustee, and a group of bondholders represented by common counsel consisting of DK Acquisition Co., Silverpoint Capital, Sandell Management Co., Elliott Management Company, and CR Intrinsic as well as the Lead Plaintiffs (but only to the extent of matters raised in the Lead Plaintiffs’ Response or any Potential Amendments) (collectively, the “Potential Objectors”)

November 8, 2007. The Debtors advised the Court that the intervening time would be used by the Debtors to continue discussions with certain of the Potential Objectors regarding the Potential Amendments, as well as to provide additional time for the Potential Objectors to receive and evaluate the Potential Amendments, and for the Debtors to prepare and potentially file motions to approve amendments to the Debtors’ Investment Agreement with the Plan Investors (the “Amended Investment Agreement Approval Motion”) and to approve exit financing arrangements (the “Exit Financing Approval Motion”).
          7. On October 19, the Court entered the Supplemental Order (A) Establishing Revised Hearing Date And Related Procedures On Disclosure Statement And Solicitation Procedures Motion And (B) Setting Hearing Date And Related Procedures For Potential Motions Amending Investment Agreements And Approving Certain Exit Financing Agreements (Docket No. 10662) (the “Supplemental Scheduling Order”).

DISCLAIMER
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN. ACCEPTANCES OR REJECTIONS MAY NOT BE SOLICITED UNTIL THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS APPROVED THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS BEING SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BUT HAS NOT YET BEEN APPROVED BY THE COURT.

 


 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
     On October 8 and 14, 2005, Delphi Corporation and(“Delphi” or the “Company”) and 41 of its direct and indirect United States subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Affiliate Debtors”), debtors and debtors-in-possession (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed petitions under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code allows a debtor to sponsor a plan of reorganization that proposes how to treat claims against, and interests in, such debtor. A plan of reorganization must be voted on by holders of claims and interests and then must meet various standards to be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Consummation of a confirmed plan of reorganization is how a debtor emerges from chapter 11.
     On September 6, 2007, the Debtors filed their Joint Plan Of Reorganization Of Delphi Corporation And Certain Affiliates, Debtors And Debtors-In-Possession (the “September 6 Plan”) and on November •, 2007, the Debtors filed their First Amended Joint Plan Of Reorganization Of Delphi Corporation And Certain Affiliates, Debtors And Debtors-In-Possession (the “Plan”). The purpose of this Disclosure Statement is to provide to the holders of Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors adequate information to make an informed judgment about the Plan.
     The following introduction and summary is a general overview only and is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed discussions, information, and financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Disclosure Statement and the Plan. All capitalized terms not defined in this Disclosure Statement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan, unless otherwise noted.
     This Disclosure Statement contains, among other things, descriptions and summaries of provisions of the Plan being proposed by Delphi Corporation and 41 of its direct and indirect United States subsidiaries and affiliates, debtors and debtors-in-possession, which filed petitions for chapter 11 relief on October 8 and October 14, 2005 (the “Petition Date”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
     Certain of Delphi’s U.S. affiliates are not debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases and, with the exception of one of Delphi’s wholly-owned indirect Spanish subsidiaries, none of the Delphi affiliates located outside of the U.S. has commenced chapter 11 cases or similar proceedings in any other jurisdictions. These non-Debtor affiliates are not necessarily affected by the Plan to the same extent as are Delphi and the Affiliate Debtors. Certain provisions of the Plan, and thus the descriptions and summaries contained herein, may be the subject of continuing negotiations among the Debtors and various parties, have not been finally agreed upon, and may be modified. Such modifications, however, will not have a material effect on the distributions contemplated by the Plan.
     A copy of the Plan is annexed hereto as Appendix A. Historical financial results of the Company are attached hereto as Appendix B. Financial projections for the reorganized

D. Business Plan
     The Debtors’ substantial progress on their Transformation Plan provides the foundation for the Company’s 2007-2011 business plan (the “Business Plan”). When developing the Business Plan, Delphi considered the impact that elements of the Transformation Plan would have on its operations, including the transformation of its hourly workforce, Delphi’s relationship with its largest customer, GM, the impact of changes in Delphi’s production portfolio and manufacturing footprint, cost reductions achieved as a result of the SG&A restructuring, and pension funding strategies with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”).
     Delphi’s financial projections for 2007-2011 are attached hereto as Appendix C. The Business Plan projects that in 2008, revenue will decline as Delphi continues to exit certain of its product lines as part of the portfolio transformation. The dispositionAs a result of product lines is expected to be substantially completedrevised volume production forecasts for GM North America (“GMNA”) by the end of 2008, Delphi and thereafter the Business Plan projects that revenue increases in Global Insight (“GI/DRI”) (formerly known as Data Resources, Inc.), an industry expert that publishes reports on vehicle production forecasts, as well as the revised capital structure of the reorganized company necessitated by the recent dislocation in the remaining years of thecapital markets, Delphi has revised its Business Plan. Although the revised Business Plan calls for a further decline in revenue in 2008, the revised Business Plan projects that revenue increases in 2008-2011 by a compound annual growth rate of 5.76.3%. In the final years of the Business Plan, it is expected that margins will expand to industry-competitive levels as Delphi expands its current business lines and grows into new markets.
     The Business Plan demonstrates that a significant amount of cash will be spent in connection with restructuring activities. Each division has contemplated a significant number of restructuring activities, the scope, timing, and cost of which were included in the Business Plan and affect the forecast. As a result of the restructuring, the Business Plan financials also reflect expected cost savings in manufacturing, that are the product of the labor transformation and global restructuring initiatives. As manufacturing and engineering operations are migrated from high cost to low cost locations, savings are generated, resulting in Delphi’s belief that it will be well positioned to meet customer expectations and achieve competitive margins. Beyond the impact of these manufacturing cost initiatives, further savings in material costs are expected to be realized through engineering activities, supplier price reductions, and the continued shift in the supplier footprint to lower cost locations following Delphi’s own manufacturing footprint migration. The resulting transformation and growth results in a plan under which Delphi continues to expand its revenue expectations in Asia, Europe, and South America while expecting revenue declines in North America.
E. Plan Investor And Exit Financing
     The description below is based on the Debtors’ current status of discussions with third parties and will be updated as such discussions evolve.

     To support the Company’s Transformation Plan and Business Plan, the Debtors entered into an Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement with Plan Investors led by A-D Acquisition Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Appaloosa Management L.P. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Plan Investors committed to purchase $800 million of convertible preferred stock and approximately $175 million of common stock in Reorganized Delphi.
     The Plan Investors also agreed to purchase any unsubscribed shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi in connection with a $1.575 billion Discount Rights Offering (as defined below) that will be made available to Delphi’s common stockholders who are holders of shares of Delphi common stock as of the date the Confirmation Hearing commences.
     In addition to the proceeds from the Investment Agreement and the Discount Rights Offering, the Company will need to obtain funded debt of $7 billion to $7.5 billion to emerge from chapter 11 successfully. The Company has identified and commenced discussions with six of the top ten lenders based on 2006 syndicated loans in the U.S. and seven of the top ten lenders based on 2006 corporate high-yield debt in the U.S. and global markets. The Company expects to file a commitment letter for this exit financing early in the Fourth Quarter of 2007.
F. Summary Of The Plan Of Reorganization
     The Plan is based upon a series of global settlements and compromises that involve every major group of constituents in the Debtors’ reorganization cases. The Debtors, all of the Debtors’ principal U.S. labor unions, GM, the Creditors’ Committee, the lead plaintiffs in certain security actions (on behalf of holders of various claims based on alleged violations of federal securities law and ERISA), and the Equity Committee have contributed to global settlements and compromises that provide for a recovery through a plan distribution amounting to the principal amount of the claim plus accrued interest, at a negotiated plan value for general unsecured creditors, and agreed upon distributions to other classes of creditors and interests. The Plan is supported by the Creditors’ Committee on behalf of unsecured creditors, the Equity Committee on behalf of holders of Delphi’s common stock, and GM.
     Under the Plan, cash and shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi will be distributed to holders of General Unsecured Claims amounting, in the aggregate, to the principal amount of such claims plus accrued interest, a “par plus accrued recovery at Plan value”. GM will receive a cash distribution on account of certain of its claims against the Debtors. Certain plaintiffs in a multi-district securities litigation will receive, through a settlement with the Debtors, cash and shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi in approximately the same proportion as the general unsecured creditors. Holders of existing Delphi common stock will receive a distribution of shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi, five-year warrants exercisable to purchase shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi, and transferable and non-transferable subscription Rights to purchase shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi.

October 29, 2007

     The settlements embodied by the Plan feature Rights Offerings that will be conducted after confirmation of the Plan and will allow Delphi’s common stockholders, who are holders of shares of Delphi common stock as of the date when the Confirmation Hearing commences, to purchase (i) through the exercise of transferable Rights, 40,845,016 shares of the New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi at a price per share of $38.56 (reflecting a discount to the negotiated plan enterprise value of Reorganized Delphi) generating gross proceeds of up to $1.575 billion, and (ii) through the exercise of non-transferable Rights, up to $572 million worth of shares in the aggregate of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi, at a price per share of $45.00 (reflecting the negotiated plan enterprise value of Reorganized Delphi). Holders of existing common stock will also receive their pro rata share of $66 million of New Common Stock (1,476,000 of a total of 147,627,046) and New Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5% of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi at an exercise price of $45 per share. The Rights will be issued only to those individuals who are holders of Delphi’s common stock as of the close of business on the date the Confirmation Hearing commences. The Rights will be issued to those common stock holders after the Bankruptcy Court has confirmed the Debtors’ Plan and Delphi’s Registration Statement for the Rights Offerings has been declared effective by the SEC. Appaloosa and the other Plan Investors, if any, which have agreed not to participate in the Par Value Rights Offering, will not participate in the Par Value Rights Offering and Rights that would otherwise be distributed to such parties pursuant to the Par Value Rights Offering by virtue of their current common stock holdings will be distributed to the other holders of Existing Common Stock.
     Current stockholders of Delphi who receive, but decide not to exercise, their transferable and non-transferable Rights can sell their existing shares of Delphi common stock and/or their transferable Rights subject to applicable law and realize value by selling their shares and/or their transferable Rights. Sale of shares prior to the date the Confirmation Hearing commences will effectively also result in the sale of the transferable and non-transferable rights. Neither Delphi nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation with respect to any exercise or sale of Rights or sale of shares of common stock. See Section VII.C. – Rights Offerings for additional information regarding the Rights Offerings.
     To support the Company’s Transformation Plan and Business Plan, the Debtors entered into an Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Plan Investors led by A-D Acquisition Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Appaloosa Management L.P. (“Appaloosa”). On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Plan Investors committed to purchase $800 million of convertible preferred stock and approximately $175 million of common stock in Reorganized Delphi. The Debtors will amend the Investment Agreement, pending Bankruptcy Court approval, in November 2007. The Investment Agreement amendment will reflect certain adjustments to the proposed investments by the Plan Investors.
     In addition, the amended Investment Agreement will provide for a $1.575 billion Discount Rights Offering (as described below) that will be made available to Delphi’s unsecured creditors.
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

     In addition to the proceeds from the Investment Agreement and the Discount Rights Offering, the Company will need to obtain funded debt to emerge from chapter 11 successfully. Initially, the Company sought financing of up to $7.5 billion in funded debt and a $1.6 billion asset-based revolving loan. Because of the dynamics of the capital markets in the third quarter of 2007, however, the Debtors reduced proposed debt levels under the Plan by $1.9 billion to facilitate an emergence financing package that could be executed under existing market conditions. Based on recent improvements in the capital markets, including the leveraged loan market, the Debtors, after consultation with the Creditors’ Committee, the Plan Investors, and GM, plan to move forward with an asset-based revolving loan in the amount of $1.6 billion, $3.7 billion of first-lien funded financing (possibly in conjunction with the extension of their debtor-in-possession financing facility), and second lien funded financing in the amount of $1.5 billion. The Debtors intend to enter into a “best efforts” financing arrangement with one or more nationally recognized investment banks on or before November 7, 2007, and to seek approval of such exit financing at the Debtors’ November 29, 2007 omnibus hearing.
F. Summary Of The First Amended Plan Of Reorganization
     The Plan is based upon a series of global settlements and compromises that involve nearly every major group of constituents in the Debtors’ reorganization cases. The Debtors, all of the Debtors’ principal U.S. labor unions, GM, the Creditors’ Committee, and the lead plaintiffs in certain security actions (on behalf of holders of various claims based on alleged violations of federal securities law and ERISA) have contributed to global settlements and compromises that provide for a recovery to general unsecured creditors (other than holders of TOPrS, as defined below) through a plan distribution amounting to the principal amount of the claim plus accrued interest, at a negotiated plan value, and agreed upon distributions to other classes of creditors and interests. The Plan is supported by the Creditors’ Committee on behalf of unsecured creditors and GM.
     Under the Plan, holders of General Unsecured Claims will receive a combination of shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi and subscription rights to participate in a discount rights offering (as described below) to acquire shares of New Common Stock. The recovery for holders of General Unsecured Claims (other than holders of TOPrS, as defined below) will amount, in the aggregate, to the principal amount of such holders’ claims plus accrued postpetition interest at negotiated Plan value, a “par plus accrued recovery at Plan value.” For holders of claims arising from subordinated notes issued in connection with trust preferred securities issued in 2003 by Delphi Trust I and Delphi Trust II (the “TOPrS”), the recovery will amount, in the aggregate, to 100% of total prepetition claims (which claims include principal plus accrued prepetition interest) at negotiated Plan value. The TOPrS claims, which are subordinate to other General Unsecured Claims, will be allowed in the amount of $421 million will not receive accrued postpetition interest. GM will receive cash, a second lien note, and junior preferred convertible stock on account of certain of its claims against the Debtors. Subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court presiding over the matter, certain lead plaintiffs in a multi-district securities class action litigation through a settlement with the Debtors will receive, on behalf of themselves and the class they represent, shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi and subscription rights to participate in the discount rights offering in

the same proportion as the general unsecured creditors. Holders of existing Delphi common stock will receive a distribution of subscription rights to purchase shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi through a par value rights offering and warrants exercisable for six months following the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 to purchase shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi.
     The settlements embodied in and by the Plan feature Rights Offerings that will be conducted after confirmation of the Plan. Delphi’s general unsecured creditors will have the ability to purchase through the exercise of non-transferable rights, 45,026,801 shares of the New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi at a price per share of $34.98 (reflecting a discount to the negotiated plan enterprise value of Reorganized Delphi) generating gross proceeds of up to $1.575 billion (the “Discount Rights Offering”). The Discount Rights Offering will include oversubscription rights.
     Delphi’s existing common stockholders, who are holders of shares of Delphi common stock as of the date when the Confirmation Hearing commences, may purchase through the exercise of non-transferable Rights, up to 12,711,111 shares in the aggregate of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi, at a price per share of $41.58 (reflecting the negotiated plan enterprise value of Reorganized Delphi) (the “Par Value Rights Offering”). Holders of existing common stock will also receive New Warrants to purchase an aggregate of $1.0 billion of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi at an exercise price of $45 per share. The Par Value Rights will be issued only to those individuals who are holders of Delphi’s common stock as of the close of business on the date the Confirmation Hearing commences. The Par Value Rights will be issued to those common stock holders after the Bankruptcy Court has confirmed the Debtors’ Plan and Delphi’s Registration Statement for the Par Value Rights Offering has been declared effective by the SEC. The shares available to Delphi common stockholders through the Par Value Rights Offering would otherwise have been issued to Unsecured Creditors and Appaloosa. Appaloosa and the other Plan Investors, if any, which have agreed not to participate in the Par Value Rights Offering, will not participate in the Par Value Rights Offering and Par Value Rights that would otherwise be distributed to such parties pursuant to the Par Value Rights Offering by virtue of their current common stock holdings will be distributed to the other holders of Existing Common Stock.
     Current stockholders of Delphi who may receive, but do not desire to exercise, their non-transferable Par Value Rights can sell their existing shares of Delphi common stock subject to applicable law and realize value by selling their shares. Sale of shares prior to the date the Confirmation Hearing commences will effectively also result in the sale of the Par Value Rights and the right to receive New Warrants. Neither Delphi nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation with respect to any exercise or sale of shares of common stock. See Section VII.C. – Rights Offerings for additional information regarding the Rights Offerings.
     Each of Delphi and its 41 Affiliate Debtors is a proponent of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provides for the substantive consolidation of certain of the Debtors’ Estates for voting and distribution purposes only.

and Interests in the Debtors. After careful review of the Debtors’ current business operations, estimated recoveries in a liquidation scenario, and the prospects of ongoing business, the Debtors have concluded that the recovery to the Debtors’ creditors and equityholders will be maximized by the reorganization of the Debtors as contemplated by the Plan.
     Although the Debtors need only to establish that the stakeholders will receive at least as much under the proposed Plan as in a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors believe that the recoveries provided by the Plan will be significantly better than those realized through a liquidation. Specifically, the Debtors believe that their businesses and assets have significant value that would not be realized in a liquidation, either in whole or in substantial part. According to the valuation analysis prepared by the Debtors’ investment banker and financial advisor, Rothschild, Inc., and the liquidation analysis prepared by the Company, with the assistance of the Debtors’ restructuring and financial advisor, FTI Consulting, Inc., the Debtors believe that the value of the Estates of the Debtors is significantly greater in the proposed reorganization than in a liquidation.
     The effectiveness of the Plan, and thus the consummation of the Plan, is subject to a number of conditions precedent. There can be no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied. In addition, the Debtors have reserved the right to amend or modify the Plan as it applies to any of the Debtors.

H. Summary Of Treatment Of Claims And Interests Under The Plan
     The Plan contains separate classes for holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. As required by the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims are not classified. The table below summarizes the treatment of certain administrative and priority claims and sets forth the Debtors’ estimates of the amount of Claims that will ultimately be Allowed in each category.

Description   Treatment Under Plan
DIP Claims
  DIP Claims consist of the DIP Facility Revolver Claim in the approximate amount of $682 million, the DIP Facility First Priority Term Claim in the approximate amount of $250 million, and the DIP Facility Second Priority Term Claim in the approximate amount of $2.495 billion. Under the Plan the DIP Claim will be paid on the Effective Date in full in Cash.

Description   Treatment Under Plan
Priority Tax Claims
  A priority tax claim is a claim for payment of taxes by governmental units as specified in section 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. Under the Plan, Priority Tax Claims will be paid (1) equal cash payments, including postpetition interest, over a period not to exceed six years after the assessment of the tax totaling the aggregate amount of the claim, (2) other treatment that is agreed between the Debtors and the holder of the priority tax claim, or (3) payment in full in Cash plus postpetition interest.
     
Estimated Amount of Claims:  
$20 million to $73 million
Percentage Recovery:  
100%
     The table below summarizes the classification and treatment of the principal prepetition Claims and Interests in the Plan. The classification and treatment for all Classes are described in more detail in Section IX—Summary Of The Reorganization Plan. The table below also sets forth the Debtors’ estimates of the amount of Claims that will ultimately be Allowed in each Class based upon the Debtors’ review of all proofs of claim and schedules not superseded by proofs of claim, and consideration of the provisions of the Plan that affect the allowance of certain Claims.
     The Debtors’ investment banker and financial advisor, Rothschild, performed a valuation of the Reorganized Debtors and the New Common Stock as a going concern based on information and financial projections provided by the Debtors. Rothschild estimated the total enterprise value range of Reorganized Delphi to be between $11.4 2 billion and $14.4 1 billion with a midpoint of approximately $12.97 billion as of December 31, 2007, as discussed more fully in the Valuation Analysis attached hereto as Appendix D. As part of the Plan, and for the purpose of making distributions to allow a par plus accrued at Plan value recovery for holders of general unsecured claims, the Debtors, Creditors’ Committee, Equity Committee, GM, and Plan Investors, negotiated an agreed deemed value of the reorganized debtors’ equity at $45.0041.58 per share, which amounts to an implied enterprise value of approximately $13.0 billion. The total enterprise value is assumed to be $12.11.8 billion for purposes of setting the price of New Common Stock for the Discount Rights Offering and for setting the initial conversion price of the new Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Reorganized Delphi. For setting the initial conversion price of the new Series A-1 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock of Reorganized Delphi, par value $0.01 per share, and the new Series A-2 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock of Reorganized Delphi, par value $0.01 per share, the total enterprise value is assumed to be $11.7510.8 billion.
     The valuation of the Reorganized Debtors and the New Common Stock conducted by Rothschild was based on certain assumptions including, among other things, an assumption that the results projected for the Reorganized Debtors will be achieved in all material respects. No assurance can be given, however, that the projected results will be achieved. To the extent that the valuation assumptions are dependent upon the
Notice of Proposed Amendments

achievement of the results projected by the Debtors, the valuation assumptions must be considered speculative. The valuation assumptions also consider, among other matters, (i) market valuation information concerning certain publicly-traded securities of certain other companies that are considered relevant, (ii) certain general economic and industry information considered relevant to the business of the Reorganized Debtors, and (iii) such other investigations and analyses as Rothschild deemed necessary or appropriate. The Debtors and Rothschild believe that these valuation assumptions are reasonable.
     The foregoing valuation assumptions are not a prediction or reflection of post-confirmation trading prices of the New Common Stock or any other securities. Such securities may trade at substantially higher or lower prices because of a number of factors, including those discussed in Section X—General Considerations And Risk Factors To Be Considered. The trading prices of securities issued under a plan of reorganization are subject to many unforeseeable circumstances and therefore cannot be predicted.
     In addition, for certain Classes of Claims, the actual amounts of Allowed Claims could materially exceed or could be materially less than the estimated amounts shown in the table that follows. For example, a counterparty to an executory contract that is assumed by the Debtors has the option of electing one of two cure treatments, which may change the amount of administrative claims or general unsecured claims, and for the illustrative estimated amounts, Cure Claims are included in both the Administrative Claim and General Unsecured Claim categories. Accordingly, for these reasons, no representation can be or is being made with respect to whether the estimated percentage recoveries shown in the table below will actually be realized by the holders of Allowed Claims in any particular Class. Furthermore, the illustrative estimated amounts shown in the table below do not include prepetition interest amounts.

Secured Claims
  Secured Claims are claims, other than DIP Lender Claims (which are treated as Administrative Claims), that are secured by liens on property in which the Debtors have an interest. Under the Plan, the legal, equitable, and contractual rights of each holder of a Secured Claim will be, at the option of the Debtor, paid in full or be unimpaired and reinstated (which means that the claim holder’s rights will be unaltered by the Plan and that Delphi will cure outstanding payment defaults, if any).

Delphi cannot predict with certainty the total amount of General Unsecured Claims that ultimately may be allowed. Under the Plan, general unsecured creditors (other than TOPrS) will receive cash in an amount equal to 20% of the claim and the number of shares of New Common Stock in Reorganized Delphi equal to 8092.4% of the claim and the value of discount rights equal to 7.6% of the claim, subject to certain rounding provisions in the Plan. In resolution of intercreditor disputes regarding subordination, TOPrS will receive a distribution of 100% New Common StockThe TOPrS subordination provision will be deemed satisfied pursuant to the Plan, which will provide a recovery of 100% of the principal and accrued prepetition interest to holders of TOPrS claims.

          1. Delphi’s Relationship With Its Customers
     Delphi has a strong commitment to its customers and seeks to provide its customers with leading-edge technology and product development, superior engineering, outstanding quality, and world-class customer support. Although GM remains Delphi’s largest single customer, 56% of Delphi’s sales in 2006 were to customers other than GM. That percentage has consistently risen since Delphi’s separation from GM in 1999 (the “Separation”), and Delphi’s revenue from non-GM business grew from $6.9 billion in 1999 to $14.8 billion in 2006. In the later years of Delphi’s 2007-2011 business plan, it is projected that GM sales will be 24% of Delphi’s sales and non-GM sales will comprise 76% of sales.

constructive partner. GM was also favorably inclined towards Cerberus because of Union support and because of positive experience with Cerberus’s involvement with General Motors Acceptance Corporation. This feedback from GM encouraged the Company that it could complete the transaction, and therefore realize the Transformation Plan and emerge from chapter 11 protection in 2007the near term.
     D. Negotiation Of The Framework Agreements
     By late November 2006, the Debtors and the Original Investors began working on documenting their agreements. Prior to that time period, various groups had circulated and commented on draft “term sheets” outlining potential agreements for the framework for a plan of reorganization (the “Framework Agreements”) and discussion points related to the Framework Agreements. Both the Equity Committee and the Creditors’ Committee actively reviewed and commented on the “term sheets” and many of their discussion points were incorporated in the Framework Agreements. After late November and early December 2006, the Creditors’ Committee declined to comment further on the Framework Agreements, despite several invitations from the Debtors to do so. The Equity Committee did continue to comment on the Framework Agreements, and the Debtors continued to carefully evaluate each of its comments.
     On December 11, 2006, Delphi’s management presented to the Board for approval an investment agreement and plan support agreement. These agreements were fully negotiated and were the most favorable agreements that management at that time believed it could reasonably achieve under the circumstances through arms-length bargaining. After a full discussion with the management team and its advisors, the Board approved and authorized the Company to enter into these agreements. Taking into account the transaction as a whole, including the fact that it could facilitate an emergence from chapter 11 in an orderly fashion and in an acceptable timeframe (of critical importance in preserving the value of the estate), as well as the importance of having GM publicly committed to certain plan framework support agreements, the Debtors concluded that the benefits to the Debtors’ Estates of entering into the agreements outweighed the burdens imposed under the agreements.
     On December 18, 2006, Delphi announced that it had entered into a Plan Framework Support Agreement (the “PSA”) with the Original Investors and GM, which outlined a framework plan of reorganization, including an outline of the proposed financial recovery of the Company’s stakeholders and the treatment of certain claims asserted by GM, the resolution of certain pension funding issues, and the corporate governance of Reorganized Delphi. The PSA, as well as the economics and structure of the plan framework itself, was expressly conditioned on reaching consensual agreements with the Unions and GM.
     On the same date, the Debtors filed a motion (the “Framework Motion”) with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of the PSA and an Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement (the “Original EPCA”) among the Company and the Original Investors under the terms and subject to the conditions of which the Original Investors would invest up to $3.4 billion in reorganized Delphi.

approval of the Separation and spin-off, presentations to investors, underwriters, and rating agencies from 1998-1999, documents regarding Delphi’s post-separation commercial relationship with GM, SEC filings and analysts’ reports, and certain documents produced by GM to the Creditors’ Committee pursuant to the Creditors’ Committee’s prior Rule 2004 motion in the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors did not otherwise have access to documents solely within GM’s custody and control.
     Based on the factual information discovered through their ongoing investigations, the Debtors’ professionals analyzed the legal strengths and weaknesses of the GM Claims and Defenses. Although the Debtors concluded that some of the GM Claims and Defenses are colorable, inasmuch as the known facts may support certain legal causes of action, the Debtors also concluded that other purported claims and causes of action may not be supported by the facts. Moreover, the Debtors further concluded that for the potential causes of action that may be supported by the facts, GM may have available to it certain substantial complete or partial legal defenses to those claims or causes of action, including, among others, defenses based on applicable statutes of limitations. Furthermore, as part of the Debtors’ overall assessment of the GM Claims and Defenses, the Debtors, through their professionals, also estimated the economic damages that might be recoverable through the GM Claims and Defenses. Here again, the Debtors determined that, although certain causes of action may give rise to economic damages, GM may also have substantial factual defenses to the recovery of such economic damages. The Statutory Committees disagree with the Debtors’ assertions in this paragraph, although they supportthe Creditors’ Committee supports the settlement that the Debtors and GM have reached.
     In sum, although the potential economic recovery to the Debtors from the GM Claims and Defenses may be significant in absolute terms, the Debtors have concluded that any such recovery carries with it a risk of significant uncertainty in light of the potential factual and legal defenses available to GM, as well as the inherent risk of uncertainty that would accompany such a substantial litigation matter. Moreover, the pursuit of the GM Claims and Defenses in a manner adversarial to GM is, without question, mutually exclusive of GM’s substantial consensual support of the Debtors’ reorganization and transformation efforts as currently contemplated in the Plan, including GM’s support for the resolution of Delphi’s legacy union labor obligations, as well as GM’s support of the Debtors’ business through ongoing commercial relationships. Similarly, the pursuit of the GM Claims and Defenses in a manner adversarial to GM would likely result in litigation that would take years to resolve, during which time the Debtor’s ability to exit successfully from its chapter 11 reorganization and operate as a competitive enterprise would be much more uncertain. Based on all of the Debtors’ own investigation and analysis, as well as the input provided by the Debtors’ Statutory Committees, it is the Debtors’ judgment that the consensual resolution of the GM Claims and Defenses as contemplated in the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors’ Estates and is clearly superior to any alternative under which the Debtors would seek to pursue the GM Claims and Defenses through proceedings adversarial to GM.

          2. Global Settlement Agreement And Master Restructuring Agreement With GM
     As discussed above, the Debtors and GM have an extensive commercial relationship and an intertwined corporate and organizational history which has given rise to certain alleged claims and causes of action by each of Delphi and GM against the other. Pursuant to the Debtors’ Plan, and subject to the requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 9019, the Debtors and GM have determined to settle various disputes and compromise certain claims as provided by two principal agreements: (i) a Global Settlement Agreement, as amended (the “Settlement Agreement”) and (ii) a Master Restructuring Agreement, as amended (the “Restructuring Agreement”). Given the scope of their continuing commercial relationship, performance of the obligations set forth in the Settlement Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement is critical to the successful implementation of the Debtors’ Transformation Plan and is also vitally important to GM.
     The discussions between the Debtors and GM that ultimately led to the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement began shortly after the Debtors filed the GM Contract Rejection Motion. As part of a joint effort to avoid litigation related to the GM Contract Rejection Motion, during the spring and summer of 2006, the Debtors and GM developed the framework for GM’s contributions to the Debtors in support of the Transformation Plan and the guiding tenets for strengthening the parties’ business relationship to achieve mutually beneficial commercial and strategic objectives, which are reflected in the Settlement Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement.
     The Debtors’ discussions with GM continued intermittently through April 2007. By May 2007, the parties had agreed on the broad outlines of the Settlement Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement. Throughout the summer of 2007, working groups of specialists in various subject matter areas together with senior management from the Debtors and GM developed comprehensive approaches for addressing a wide range of matters, including the resolution of issues related to the Debtors’ pension and retiree benefit plans, the disposition of various legacy agreements between the Debtors and GM, the restructuring of the Debtors’ U.S. manufacturing base, and the adoption of guidelines for certain ongoing commercial agreements. The parties exchanged initial drafts of various sections of the Settlement Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement in July 2007 and negotiated specific terms and conditions over the succeeding six weeks. Both the Settlement Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement were substantially complete by the end of August 2007.
     The Settlement Agreement addresses primarily those matters for which the Debtors and GM 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 of the Debtors’ Plan. By contrast, resolution of most of the matters addressed in the Restructuring Agreement shall require a significantly longer period that shall extend for a number of years after confirmation of the Plan. The principal material terms of the Settlement Agreement and the Restructuring Agreement are described below. In this section, terms

     In addition, on April 30, 2007, the Debtors closed a transaction whereby an investor purchased and leased to the Debtors a facility comprised of 347,800 square feet of office space and 90,000 square feet of lab space situated on approximately 35 acres located in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Through this transaction, the Debtors expect to obtain significant economic advantages from the consolidation of six leased and owned facilities in Michigan and Illinois, and possibly other facilities over the next few years. The Debtors expect that this transaction will create a single, state-of-the-art technical center located in close proximity to the Debtors’ major customers, accelerate the development of new products and innovations, foster better communications among employees, and properly project Delphi’s image of technical and technological excellence. The Debtors further believe that the consolidated facility will facilitate creative dialogue among diverse groups and teams at Delphi, and that this dialogue will spark new innovation that will enable the Debtors to gain an edge on competitors in the industry.
     In furtherance of the product portfolio and manufacturing footprint transformation, as an important aspect of the settlements reached with Delphi’s Unions, certain provisions in the labor agreements that precluded Delphi from selling or closing facilities that did not figure into Delphi’s planned core business operations were removed or modified. In anticipation of reaching these settlements with its Unions, Delphi has been preparing for the sale of Delphi’s Steering, Interiors and Closures, and Wheel Bearing businesses, and the Company’s business plan reflects the short-term reduction in revenue from divested businesses as well as the increased efficiency that will ultimately result from Delphi’s focus on its core businesses. In completing the realignment of its product portfolio, Delphi will continue to work diligently to assure that the transformation is seamless and transparent and that quality, delivery, and customer satisfaction are not negatively impacted.

          2. Salaried Employee Compensation Program
      2.(a) Competitively Benchmarked Salaried Employee Compensation Program – Introduction – Compensation Committee Philosophy and Strategy Statement
     The One of the fundamental tenets of the Company’s transformation plan has been to become competitive in every aspect of its business including both hourly and salaried compensation programs. To meet that objective with respect to the Company’s salaried employee compensation program, the Company has also developed a competitively benchmarked executive and non-executive compensation program consistent with the requirements of the Plan Investors.
     The Investment Agreementprograms. For purposes of this section, “senior management” means those global employees in Bands A through F, as defined below, well as the Delphi Strategy Board (“DSB”). This group comprises about 560 such employees and the Delphi Strategy Board is comprised of the Delphi’s 21 top policy-making decision makers (each, a “DSB Member”).
     A competitively benchmarked salaried executive compensation program is also required under Section 9(a)(xxi) of the Investment Agreement which provides that the Company mustshall enter into employment agreements and other compensation arrangements with senior management relating to compensation, benefits, supplemental retirement benefits, stock options and restricted stock awards, severance and change in control provisions, and other benefits on market terms (as determined by Delphi’s Compensation Committee) based on the advice of Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc. (an independent outside advisor to the Compensation Committee) and reasonably acceptable to ADAH. Delphi is also obligated under Exhibit D to the .” In September 2007, ADAH informed Delphi that the Company’s salaried executive compensation program complied with the requirements of the Investment Agreement to consultand was acceptable to ADAH. While Delphi has also consulted with the Creditors’ Committee regarding these competitively benchmarked compensation programs.—as required by the Investment Agreement, the Creditors’ Committee is not required to approve or endorse these programs and has not done so. The Plan constitutes a request to authorize and approve the competitively benchmarked compensation programs.
     These programs have been developed under the supervision of Delphi’s Compensation CommitteeCommittee which consists of three independent directors who joined the board since 2005.Board of Directors within the last three years:
         
Name   Position   Term On Board
Craig G. Naylor

Notice of Proposed Amendments

      For an employee who enters into a new employment, retirement, indemnification, and other agreement with the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to obtain the benefits of such agreements, the employee must contractually waive and release any claims arising from pre-existing employment, retirement, indemnification, or other agreement.
     Since September, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has met more than 20 times to thoroughly discuss, review, and ultimately recommend for approval the term of the executive compensation and executive benefit programs, including the Employment and Change in Control agreements to be signed by each Delphi Strategy Board member officer.
     In designing the executive compensation components for the newly restructured company, the Compensation Committee developed a compensation philosophy and strategy that is summarized as follows:
          Provide median total direct compensation (salary plus at risk short and long-term incentives)
     Since September, 2006, the Compensation Committee has met more than 20 times to thoroughly discuss, review and refine the executive compensation and executive benefit programs. These programs require written employment and change in control agreements to be signed by each DSB Member and short-form agreements to be signed by the remainder of the Company’s executives. These agreements are required to be signed and delivered to the Company in order for an executive to participate in the post-emergence salaried executive compensation program.
     Among other matters, both the longer-form DSB agreements and the short-form agreements for other executives include voluntary waivers of claims against the Company as of the Effective Date by each executive with respect to all compensation and benefit related claims against the Company existing under prior programs. In the case of DSB members, these waivers will include waivers of the prepetition “Change in Control Agreements.” As discussed below, the aggregate change in control liabilities arising under the prepetition Change in Control Agreements are potentially substantial. If all participants were to successfully assert claims under the Change in Control Agreements, the resulting liability could total as much as $257.5 million. All Change in Control Agreements are listed on Plan Exhibit 8.1(a), and will be rejected pursuant to the Plan. Accordingly, the Company’s implementation of the new competitively benchmarked salaried executive compensation programs will not only fulfill the Company’s transformation objective of achieving competitive salaried compensation programs but will also benefit the Company and its stakeholders by eliminating up to $257.5 million of potential prepetition claims from the Company’s unsecured claims pool.
      In designing the executive compensation components for the reorganized Delphi, the Compensation Committee is committed to delivering a total compensation program for salaried executive employees that supports Delphi’s business and people strategies and aligns with the interests of Delphi’s key stakeholders. In particular, the Compensation Committee believes that Delphi must provide a target total reward opportunity sufficient to attract and retain high-caliber executives who can effectively manage Delphi’s complex

global businesses, taking into account the competitive marketplace, as well as each executive’s experience and performance. In general, this involves developing and adjusting, in conjunction with the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, a target pay structure that provides median total direct compensation opportunity at planned levels of performance and total direct compensation opportunity which can be above the median when Delphi achieves performance that exceeds the plan. In this regard, the Compensation Committee assesses both total direct compensation, which is the sum of salary plus annual incentive opportunity plus long-term incentive opportunity, and total compensation, which includes other aspects of pay, including retirement benefits. Market total direct compensation comparisons for the members of the DSB were developed from proxy data from a comparable group of large, diversified companies, as well as from manufacturing and auto industry survey data. Market total direct compensation comparisons for non-DSB executives were developed from survey data only
      Other material elements of the Compensation Committee’s philosophy and strategy can be summarized as follows:
    Link the majority of the total compensation opportunities to performance-based incentives and the creation of shareholder value consistent with Delphi’s long-term strategic goals
 
    Make stock-based incentives a core element of executives’ compensation including stock holding requirements for senior executives
 
    Provide flexibility to recognize, differentiate, and reward individual performance
      Delphi will supplement the Plan through the filing of Exhibit 7.8 by the Plan Exhibit Filing Date following approval by ADAH and consultation with the Creditors’ Committee.
      Exhibit 7.8 of the Plan includes the full compensation philosophy statement adopted by the Compensation Committee, summaries of the major elements of the post-emergence compensation program (described in summary below) and the form employment and change in control agreements to be executed by DSB members (although the Company anticipates that the employment agreements for the new post-Effective Date Executive Chairman, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer will also include terms and conditions customary for such agreements.) The documents included in Exhibit 7.8 of the Plan have been approved by ADAH under the Investment Agreement.

been structured based on market median; market for the DSB Members is determined by reference to 18 peer companies. The peer companies which represent a cross-section of companies similar to Delphi and/or with whom Delphi competes for executive talent are TRW Automotive Holdings Corp., Visteon Corp., Parker-Hannifin Corp., Federal Mogul, and BorgWarner Inc., Pepsico Inc., Kraft Foods Inc., Johnson Controls Inc., Honeywell International Inc., Best Buy Co Inc., Du Pont (E I) De Nemours, Coca-Cola Co., 3M Co., International Paper Co., Ratheon Co., Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Lear Corp. and Kimberly-Clark Corp. Market for employees in Bands A through F market is determined through the use of relevant survey data.
(i)      Claims Release Process
      For an executive who enters into a new employment, retirement, indemnification, and other agreement with the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to obtain the benefits of such agreements, the executive must contractually waive and release any claims arising from pre-existing employment, retirement, indemnification, or other agreements. As a condition to entering into new employment, change-in-control, indemnification or other employment-related agreements and/or becoming eligible to participate in certain new compensation and benefit arrangements, including the new supplemental executive retirement program, certain employees must contractually waive and release any claims arising from prepetition commitments, including pre-existing employment, change-in-control, indemnification or any other employment-related agreements and/or benefits under certain compensation and benefit arrangements. For non-DSB members, Delphi will enter into short-form agreements that will describe the Emergence Date and post-Emergence Date payments and compensation program benefits available to an executive and will also implement the claims waiver discussed herein.
(ii)    Executive Employment Agreements
      For DSB Members, Delphi will enter into new employment agreements with each DSB Member that generally provide that the executive will serve in an executive position reasonably consistent with his or her current position and at the executive’s current work location (although the executive can be relocated in connection with the relocation of his or her principal business unit). The employment agreements will become effective on the consummation of the Plan and will continue through December 31, 2010. The agreements will automatically renew each January 1st commencing on January 1, 2011 for additional one-year terms unless either party gives 60 days’ advance written notice of non-renewal. The executive will receive a base salary at an annual rate equal to his or her current salary, which will be subject to annual review and increase and which may not be reduced except pursuant to across-the-board salary reductions. In addition, the executive will be eligible to participate in short-term incentive plans and long-term incentive plans at levels comparable to similarly situated executives and to participate in all employee benefit plans and arrangements made available by Delphi to similarly situated executives, including supplemental executive retirement programs.
      An executive will be entitled to severance if Delphi terminates the executive’s employment without “Cause” or the executive resigns for “Good Reason.” Under the employment agreement “Cause” includes any of the following actions (if not cured by the
Notice of Proposed Amendments

executive within ten business days of the receipt of written notice thereof ): (i) continued failure by the executive to satisfactorily perform his/her duties, (ii) willful misconduct or gross negligence, (iii) the commission of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, (iv) the commission of an act involving dishonesty that results in harm to the Company, or (v) a material breach of the employment agreement. “Good Reason” under the terms of the employment agreement means an event constituting a material breach of the employment agreement and includes: (i) the assignment to the executive either of duties materially inconsistent with his status or substantially adversely different in nature or status (but ceasing to be a publicly-held corporation will not constitute Good Reason), (ii) a reduction in the executive’s base salary or a material reduction in the executive’s incentive compensation (except for an across-the-board reduction affecting all executives), (iii) the relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment more than 25 miles from its current location (unless the relocation is of the executive’s business unit or is due to the executive’s transfer to a position that the Company believes in good faith will enhance the executive’s career opportunities), or (iv) the Company’s failure to pay the executive any current or deferred compensation within seven days of its due date. For DSB members, the severance package that the executive will receive is:
    18 months’ base salary and 18 months’ short term incentive target paid over an 18 month period;
 
    a lump sum cash payment of any unvested amounts credited to the executive’s accounts under the Company’s tax-qualified and/or nonqualified supplemental or excess defined contribution plans; and
 
    vesting acceleration on service-based equity awards.
      Receipt of the foregoing severance is conditioned on the executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Delphi and on the executive’s compliance with a perpetual non-disclosure provision, an invention assignment provision, an 18-month non-competition provision and an 18-month non-solicitation provision (covering customers and employees). The aggregate amount of severance, if, in the unlikely event, all 441 U.S.-based DSB Members and Bands A through F were terminated by the Company without Cause, is estimated to be approximately $125 million (the aggregate severance for the Company’s non-U.S.-based employees has not been estimated).
  (iii)  
Short-Term Incentive Plan
 
      The purpose of the Short-Term Incentive Plan is to motivate and reward performance and provide incentives based upon business metrics to those employees who contribute to the success of Delphi. Target award and required performance levels are established by the Compensation Committee before the commencement or within the first 25% of the performance period, including minimum and maximum award and performance levels. Assuming that the Effective Date occurs prior to March 1, 2008, the Compensation Committee of Reorganized Delphi will be establishing award and performance levels for the 2008 fiscal year and beyond. Awards are based on specified measures, including but not limited to return on assets, return on equity, working capital, total stockholder return, cash flow, net income, and earnings per share.
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-101


 

      Final awards will be based on the performance achieved versus the goals established at the beginning of the period. The Compensation Committee may adjust the awards upward or downward. Although adjustments to the final performance award may be made based on individual performance, adjustments to awards issued to a “covered officer” (an individual whose compensation falls under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) may only be made to reduce, not increase, an award. No award to a “covered officer” will be paid unless the performance is certified by the Compensation Committee.
      Receipt of an award is conditioned on continued employment with the Company. If before the end of any performance period an executive quits or is dismissed for cause, the executive will not be eligible to receive a final award. If employment terminates because of death, retirement, permanent disability, or other terminations approved by the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee may waive the requirement of continued employment and pay a reduced award based on a partial year’s employment. On the effective date of any change in control, all awards will be paid on a pro-rata basis based on the greater of the target award or actual performance.
      The Compensation Committee has the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Short-Term Incentive Plan although such actions may give rise to certain payment and other rights under executive employment agreements. Any such actions that would result in the Short-Term Incentive Plan becoming reduced in value or unavailable to its participants could result in the departure of plan participants from the Company and could impair Delphi’s ability to attract and retain high-caliber executives who can effectively manage Delphi’s complex global businesses, taking into account the competitive marketplace, as well as each executive’s experience and performance. Stockholder approval, however, is required for certain amendments to preserve the exemption of awards granted under the Short-Term Incentive Plan from the limitations on deductibility of section 162(m) of the IRC. The aggregate annual short-term incentive opportunity for all DSB Members and Bands A through F (approximately 560 executives worldwide) at target is estimated to be approximately $46 million.
  (iv)   Long-Term Incentive Plan
      The purpose of the Long-Term Incentive Plan is to provide incentive award programs to attract and retain exceptional employees, to align such employees with the long-term strategies of the Company and to best align the employee interests with those of the Delphi’s stockholders.
      The Long-Term Incentive Plan allows for the grant of various awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, and restricted stock units. Options granted may be either non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options (“ISOs”). ISOs are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of section 422 of the IRC. The exercise price of a SAR or an option must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and the term of any SAR or option may not exceed ten years.

      The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the terms and conditions of exercise, including vesting and any additional Company or individual performance-based conditions, of all equity awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Awards of stock options and SARs are limited to an annual individual maximum of 1,000,000 shares and awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units are limited to an annual individual maximum of 500,000 shares. The Long-Term Incentive Plan also provides for the grant of performance-based cash awards.
      Performance levels are established by the Compensation Committee during the first 25% of the performance period. It is anticipated that the Compensation Committee of Reorganized Delphi will be establishing performance levels for the long-term incentive program. The Compensation Committee may adjust the awards upward or downward. (Adjustments to awards issued to a “covered officer” (as defined under section 162(m) of the IRC) may only be made to reduce, not increase, an award. No award to a “covered officer” will be paid unless the performance is certified by the Compensation Committee.) Generally, awards are cancelled when an employee quits or is dismissed for any reason before the first anniversary of the grant date. In the case of retirement more than one year after the grant date, an employee may retain his or her stock options and SARs until the earlier of their expiration date or five years from the employee’s retirement date. Upon an employee’s death or permanent disability more than one year after the grant date, the employee’s options and SARs will remain outstanding until the earlier of their expiration date or three years from the date of the employee’s death or permanent disability.
      Awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units will vest immediately upon an employee’s retirement, permanent disability, or death more than one year after the grant date, although cash performance awards may be pro-rated based on the number of eligible months the employee was employed over the total award period. Any employee or former employee who engages in misconduct before the second anniversary of his or her termination of employment will be required to forfeit outstanding awards, forfeit the right to receive any future awards, and repay any amounts received in connection with previous awards, including any profits realized on the sale of company stock received pursuant to an award.
      The Compensation Committee has the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Long-Term Incentive Plan although such actions may give rise to certain payment and other rights under executive employment agreements. Any such actions that would result in the Long-Term Incentive Plan becoming reduced in value or unavailable to its participants could result in the departure of plan participants from the Company and could impair Delphi’s ability to attract and retain high-caliber executives who can effectively manage Delphi’s complex global businesses, taking into account the competitive marketplace, as well as each executive’s experience and performance. Stockholder approval, however, is required to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of common stock for which awards may be granted, (ii) grant options or SARs at a discount, (iii) permit exercise of an option or SAR without full payment at the time of exercise, (iv) extend the exercise period of an option or a SAR, (v) make an award to non-employees, (vi) re-price any outstanding option or SAR or cancel and re-grant an option or SAR with a lower exercise price, (vii) increase the annual individual limit on cash awards, or (viii)

grant any award after the Long-Term Incentive Plan’s expiration date. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Delphi’s common stock, the Compensation Committee may adjust the share reserve, the individual award limits, or the number and exercise price of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan.
      Upon a change in control, all outstanding time-based equity awards will vest. In addition, it is contemplated that any performance-based equity awards will vest upon a sale of more than 50% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares or upon a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company if certain targets relating to internal rate of return are achieved in connection with such sale. Any performance-based cash awards will be paid on a pro-rata basis based on the greater of the target award and actual performance. If upon a change in control the consideration paid to holders of shares of the Delphi’s common stock is solely cash, the Compensation Committee may provide that each award will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment.
      The initial target grant of equity under the Long-Term Incentive Plan will be awarded for Bands A through C in stock options, shares of restricted stock, cash or a combination thereof and for Bands D and above, including DSB Members, one-half in shares of restricted stock and the other half in stock options. Further, one-half of the restricted stock and options awarded will be time-vested and one-half will be performance-vested. The initial target grant will cover an 18-month period where no further awards will be made during this time (other than for an executive’s promotion). For certain executives, the initial target grant of equity will be supplemented with an additional one-time grant of equity awards to maintain their overall compensation levels at the median of competitive market practice considering the modifications being made to the supplemental retirement plans (as discussed under the New SERP and Salaried Retirement Equalization Savings Program sections below). The estimated lifetime total value of the supplemental grants is expected to be approximately $11.5 million. The aggregate long-term incentive opportunity, on an annualized basis, for all DSB Members and Bands A through F is estimated to be approximately $80 million. This amount represents the total estimated value of the service-vested equity awards and performance-based equity awards, assuming target performance levels are achieved. As agreed to between Delphi and ADAH, the long-term incentive plan assumes that 10% of the available shares of Delphi’s fully diluted common stock will be reserved for future annual grants to executives, including but not limited to the initial target grant of equity. The initial target grant of equity that will be made as of the Effective Date is expected to constitute approximately 3% of the available shares of Delphi’s fully diluted common stock.
  (v)   Chapter 11 Effective Date Executive Payments
      As part of the overall total compensation program approved in 2005 by the Compensation Committee for DSB Members and in Bands A through F, the Company determined that long-term incentive performance opportunities should be paid on the Effective Date of the Plan in an amount equivalent to approximately 80% of an individual employees’ 2004 long-term incentive performance target (as subsequently adjusted in

some cases by the Compensation Committee) for a period equivalent to 18 months even if the chapter 11 reorganization took longer than 18 months to complete. (The Debtors currently estimate the period from the Filing Date to the Effective Date to be approximately 28 months.)
      During the chapter 11 cases, certain outstanding long-term incentive awards that were granted pre-petition with post-petition vesting cycles were thereafter cancelled and executives were not awarded any new grants during the post-petition period. In addition, the Debtors determined during the chapter 11 cases not to seek separate approval by the Bankruptcy Court for this element of the salaried executive compensation program but to instead incorporate the program into the Plan as part of the Plan confirmation process. The Company also expects to make an Effective Date payment to the Company’s Executive Chairman (who does not participate in this or any other incentive compensation program) as determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the Effective Date.
      Pursuant to Emergence Date performance payment program, cash payments made on the Effective Date would generally be equivalent to one-third of the annualized value of an executive’s prepetition awards that were cancelled and the awards not granted during the post-petition period (subject to adjustment by the Compensation Committee based on individual performance). The aggregate payments under this program are estimated to be approximately $34 million on an annualized basis for the duration of the chapter 11 cases (or approximately $78 million in the aggregate). Even with these cash payments, total executive compensation at Delphi for the duration of the chapter 11 cases will have fallen materially below competitive practice as demonstrated in the following charts:

  (vi)   Retirement Program for Executives
      A new Retirement Program for executives will be implemented, consisting of two parts, (1) a “New SERP”, which consists of the traditional Supplemental Executive Retirement Program that will be frozen in early 2008 in connection with Delphi’s emergence from chapter 11 and which applies to past service and (2) the Salaried Retirement Equalization Savings Program, which is a new nonqualified defined contribution plan that will apply to future service.
  (1)   Supplemental Executive Retirement Program
      The Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (the “New SERP”) will be an unfunded, nonqualified benefit plan. The New SERP is closed to new participants. To be eligible to receive a benefit under the New SERP, an executive employee must be a regular executive employee at retirement, and have at least ten years of service and be 55 years old at retirement. In addition, an executive employee otherwise eligible to participate in the New SERP will be entitled to a benefit under the New SERP if he or she is involuntarily separated from service without cause (or if he or she has entered into an employment agreement with the Company, leaves for Good Reason) and has at least five years of service with the Company. In such cases, payment of the benefit will then be deferred until he or she is at least 55 years old. For a period of two years following separation from employment, any retired executive employee entitled to receive a benefit under the New SERP may not compete with the Company without the Company’s consent.
      Benefits under the New SERP are paid under either the Regular Formula or the Alternative Formula. The Regular Formula provides a benefit equal to 2% of the executive employee’s average monthly base salary multiplied by the executive employee’s total years of Delphi Retirement Program for Salaried Employees (“SRP”) Part B and Part C service less the sum of (i) the unreduced monthly SRP pension benefits to which the executive employee is entitled and (ii) 2% multiplied by the maximum allowable social security benefit multiplied by the total of the executive’s SRP Part A and Part C service as of the Effective Date. The Alternative Formula provides a benefit equal to 1.5% of the executive employee’s average monthly base salary plus average monthly annual incentive compensation multiplied by the executive employee’s total years of SRP Part B and Part C service (capped at 35 years) less the sum of (i) the unreduced monthly SRP benefits to which the executive employee is entitled and (ii) the maximum allowable social security benefit. However calculated, benefit amounts will be reduced for early retirement before age 62. Following the date of the freeze, no additional years of credited service, base salary increases or incentive compensation awards will be used in the calculation of the benefit under the New SERP.
      Benefits under the New SERP are paid as a five-year annuity beginning on the later of (i) the first day of the month at least 15 days after the employee’s separation from service and (ii) the first day of the first month following the employee’s 55th birthday, except that any payment to a “specified employee” (as defined under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) will be delayed to the extent required thereunder. Death benefits are paid in a lump sum to the spouse and/or beneficiary of an executive employee who was eligible

for benefits under the plan at the time of his or her death. Benefits under the New SERP may be reduced by any amounts owed by the employee to the Company.
  (2)   Salaried Retirement Equalization Savings Program
      The Salaried Retirement Equalization Savings Program is a funded plan, prospectively replacing the pre-existing supplemental retirement programs and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to certain executives, managers, and other highly compensated employees of the Company. The purpose of the Salaried Retirement Equalization Savings Program is to supplement the Company’s qualified defined contribution savings plan (currently known as the S-SPP) and allow Company nonelective contributions and matching contributions to be made into a nonqualified defined contribution savings plan in situations where legal limitations under the S-SPP have been reached. A participant will vest in his or her employer and matching contributions as set forth in the adoption agreement. A participant is always 100% vested in the amounts credited to his or her account that are attributable to participant deferrals.
      Distributions from a participant’s account will be made according to elections, made or deemed made by, the participant, except that distributions to “specified employees” (as defined under section 409A of the IRC) will not be made before a date that is six months after the specified employee’s separation from service. A participant may elect at least 12 months before a scheduled distribution event to delay the payment date for a minimum of five years from the original payment date, as well as to change the form of payment of any amounts subject to a deferral election. A participant who experiences a separation from service before retirement will receive the vested amount credited to his or her account in a single lump sum. Delphi also has the ability to delay payments due to a participant under the plan if it reasonably anticipates that its deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or restricted under section 162(m) of the IRC or the employer reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate the terms of a loan agreement or other similar contract.
      In the event of a change in control, the Company may terminate the plan and distribute all amounts credited to participant accounts within 30 days before or 12 months after the change of control (provided that all substantially similar arrangements are also terminated). In the event of a change of control, the participant will receive the vested amount credited to his or her account in a lump sum. The Company also may terminate the plan if all substantially similar arrangements are terminated, no payments (except required payments) are made within 12 months after termination, all payments are made within 24 months after termination, and the employer does not adopt a new substantially similar arrangement within five years following termination.
  (vii)   Change In Control Agreements
      Effective on the Effective Date of the Plan, the Company will enter into new change in control agreements with each DSB Member. Generally, “Change in Control” means (i) any person (or entity) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of

the Company’s then outstanding securities, (ii) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who constitute the Board on the Effective Date with any new director whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the Effective Date or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended, (iii) a merger of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger continuing to represent more than 50% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately before the sale. “Change in Control” does not include consummation of the Plan of Reorganization or transactions contemplated thereunder.
      The change in control agreements generally provide:
    a lump sum cash payment equal to two to three times (based on the executive’s position) the executive’s base salary and target bonus;
 
    24 to 36 months (based on the executive’s position) of benefit continuation coverage for the executive and his or her dependents;
 
    a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (1) any unpaid cash incentive compensation allocated to executive for completed fiscal years and (2) a pro-rata portion of any unpaid cash incentive compensation for uncompleted periods (assuming performance at target levels);
 
    a lump sum cash payment equal to the contributions that would have been made to any of the Company’s tax-qualified and/or nonqualified supplemental or excess defined contribution plans on behalf of the executive in the two to three years (based on the executive’s position) following the date of termination (assuming maximum contribution levels);
 
    outplacement services until the earlier of one year or the executive’s acceptance of employment; and
 
    vesting acceleration of service-based equity awards and vesting acceleration of performance-based equity awards upon a sale of more than 50% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares or upon a sale of all or substantially all of

the assets of the Company if certain targets relating to internal rate of return are achieved in connection with such sale.
      If any of these payments or benefits become subject to excise tax on “golden parachute” payments, the executive will be entitled to a gross-up payment (but only if the executive’s total payments and benefits exceed 110% of the greatest pre-tax amount the executive could be paid without causing the executive to be liable for any excise taxes in connection with the gross-up payment).
      Receipt of severance is conditioned on the executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Delphi and on the executive’s compliance with a perpetual non-disclosure provision, an invention assignment provision, a 12- to 18-month non-competition provision, and a 12- to 18-month non-solicitation provision (covering customers and employees). In addition, the Company is obligated to pay all of an executive’s legal fees with respect to any good-faith dispute of any issue under the change in control agreement. Under the change in control agreement under discussion with the Company’s chief executive officer, the chief executive officer will have the right to voluntarily terminate employment during the 30-day period beginning 12 months after the change in control and still receive all change-in-control related benefits under the agreement.
      The change in control agreements will be effective on the consummation of the Plan and will continue through December 31, 2009. The agreements will automatically renew each January 1st commencing on January 1, 2009 for additional one-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is given by either party before September 30th of the preceding year. In addition, the change in control agreements will automatically renew for a two-year term upon the occurrence of a change in control.
  (c)   Chapter 11 Salaried Employee Compensation Program — Summary of Key Employee Compensation Program
      The Debtors have implemented certain aspects of a key employee compensation program pursuant to which executive-level U.S. employees have the capability of receiving incentive-based compensation based on the Company’s and individual performance. Upon commencement of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, certain of the Debtors’ salaried employees’ compensation programs were terminated, including the annual incentive program and long-term incentive program. The Debtors also cancelled a retention awards program enacted before the Petition Date. As a result, upon the Debtors’ entry into chapter 11, the Debtors’ U.S. executives saw their total compensation opportunities decrease by approximately 50%, going from a total prepetition compensation plan composed of base salary, an annual incentive program, a long-term incentive program, and retention grants to a postpetition compensation package consisting solely of base salary.
      The Debtors’ chapter 11 key executive compensation program consisted of three primary parts: (i) a short-term at-risk performance payment compensation program, (ii) an emergence award plan that provided limited cash compensation in lieu of chapter 11 long-term incentives and an equity based award covering post-emergence long-term

DS-109


 

incentives for the 18 month period following the Effective Date and (iii) a prepetition severance plan that was modified in the third quarter of 2005. The overall program was designed, in part, to replace some of the prepetition compensation programs for the Debtors’ U.S. executives. The overall program was premised on the principle that the Company should provide market-competitive compensation opportunities designed to motivate its executive workforce to perform for the Debtors. Notably, Delphi’s chapter 11 compensation program was different from traditional employee compensation and retention programs in at least two important ways. First, the current Executive Chairman (and former CEO) of Delphi, opted not to participate in the program but is instead eligible for a discretionary performance payment, which will be determined separately by the Compensation Committee prior to the Effective Date. Second, Delphi’s program had no “retention” payments (“pay to stay” vs. “pay for performance”) within its design.
      Indeed, the short-term at-risk incentive compensation programs ultimately proposed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases have incorporated six-month performance cycles, as opposed to the more traditional year-long periods, to closely monitor the Debtors’ ongoing financial progress and to ensure that executive performance remains linked to the evolving demands of the Chapter 11 Cases. Additionally, even if the Debtors achieve their corporate and division-level performance targets, eligible employees also must maintain an acceptable level of personal achievement to qualify for the at-risk incentive compensation payments. Finally, the Debtors implemented an EBITDAR-based metric to evaluate the corporate-wide performance of the Debtors and agreed to extensive discretion of the Creditors’ Committee in adjusting this metric in two of the chapter 11 performance periods. The Debtors also eliminated from their analysis various variances in performance (i.e., gains from the steady state business plan early in the chapter 11 cases and variances from the transformation business plan later in the chapter 11 cases) obtained during the applicable performance period as a result of agreements reached with GM and the Unions. By designing a short-term at-risk incentive compensation program in this manner, the Debtors sought to maximize the performance of their executives, which in turn, would increase the value of the Debtors’ Estates.
      During the chapter 11 cases, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to implement the short-term elements of the compensation program. The longer term elements of the original chapter 11 compensation program (i.e., cash performance payments on the Effective Date and long-term equity incentive grants for post-emergence periods) were deferred to the plan confirmation process and are incorporated into the overall salaried executive compensation program developed by the Compensation Committee and approved by ADAH under the Investment Agreement.
  (d)   Summary of Certain Material Prepetition Executive Compensation Programs
  (i)   Supplemental Executive Retirement Program
      Since the separation from GM, Delphi has had a Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (the “SERP”) for certain employees. The SERP is a non-qualified plan under the IRC that is separate from, but is integrated with, the Delphi Retirement Program for Salaried Employees, a qualified pension plan under the IRC. Pursuant to the

authority granted by that certain Order Under 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a), 363, 507, 1107, And 1108 (i) Authorizing Debtors To Pay Prepetition Wages And Salaries To Employees And Independent Contractors; (ii) Authorizing Debtors To Pay Prepetition Benefits And Continue Maintenance Of Human Capital Benefit Programs In the Ordinary Course; And (iii) Directing Banks To Honor Prepetition Checks For Payment Of Prepetition Human Capital Obligations (Docket No. 198), the Debtors have, throughout the course of the Chapter 11 Cases, continued to make monthly SERP payments to eligible retirees, limited to $5,000 per month per retiree. Pursuant to the Plan, however, the Debtors will (i) no longer honor their obligations under the SERP as the Debtors will reject, as of the Effective Date, or otherwise terminate the current SERP and (ii) implement a new Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (the “New SERP”) with respect to current eligible employees (subject to the execution of a waiver of claims) which, in effect, (a) freezes the benefits under the SERP and modifies eligibility to the age of 55 years with ten years of service and (b) supplements the frozen SERP benefit with a new benefit under a separate plan. Accordingly, as of the effective date of the Plan, the Debtors will no longer make monthly SERP payments to retirees and retirees will have 30 days after the effective date of the Plan to file a proof of claim for any claims arising under the SERP. Current eligible employees that were entitled to the SERP should not be penalized by the rejection, termination, and/or halting of benefits with respect to the SERP because these active employees should generally become eligible to participate in the New SERP.
      Under the Plan, all persons holding or wishing to assert Claims arising out of the SERP, and whose SERP Claims vested prior to the Effective Date, must file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve upon the Debtors a separate, completed, and executed proof of claim (substantially conforming to Form. No. 10 of the Official Bankruptcy Forms) no later than 30 days after the Effective Date. All such Claims not filed within such time will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors and their Estates or the Reorganized Debtors and their property. Any Claims arising out of SERP after the Effective Date will be disallowed in their entirety. Allowed SERP Claims will receive the treatment afforded to Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan. Each such Allowed SERP Claim will receive a distribution on the earliest Distribution Date after such SERP Claim is allowed, if ever. For further details, including details regarding postpetition interest on General Unsecured Claims, see Sections IX.E — Treatment Of Claims And Interests Under The Plan and IX.H — Provisions Governing Distributions of this Disclosure Statement.
  (ii)   Change In Control Agreements
      In early 2000, Delphi modified certain terms of its change in control agreements (collectively, the “Change in Control Agreements”) with its officers that had been in existence since the Separation. The Change in Control Agreements provide certain benefits to each participant (each, a “Participant”) upon the occurrence of a change in control of Delphi and additional benefits if the employment of a Participant is terminated for certain reasons after a change in control. A change in control is defined under the Change in Control Agreements to include (i) the acquisition by any person, other than Delphi or any subsidiary of Delphi, of beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding common stock of Delphi; (ii) certain changes in the composition of Delphi’s board of directors; (iii) certain mergers, consolidations, and other reorganizations of

Delphi in which Delphi is not the surviving corporation; (iv) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer of 50% or more of the assets of Delphi; or (v) a liquidation or dissolution of Delphi.
      Pursuant to the Change in Control Agreements, Participants are entitled to certain payments and benefits upon the occurrence of a change in control, including the immediate vesting of all unvested options and restricted stock units, and the full funding of all of the Participant’s “target awards” and any compensation previously deferred at the election of the Participant, together with accrued interest or earnings thereon. Additional payments and benefits are payable to Participants who cease to be employed by Delphi during the three years following a change in control if (i) Delphi terminates the Participant’s employment other than for “cause” (as defined therein); (ii) the Participant terminates his or her employment if, without his or her consent, (a) his or her salary and other compensation or benefits are reduced for reasons unrelated to Delphi’s or the Participant’s performance, (b) his or her responsibilities are negatively and materially changed, (c) he or she must relocate his or her work location or residence more than 25 miles from its location as of the date of the change in control, or (d) Delphi fails to offer him or her a comparable position after the change in control; or (iii) during the one-month period following the first anniversary of the change in control, the Participant ceases to be employed by Delphi for any reason other than for cause.
      The aggregate change in control liabilities arising from these and other rights granted to Participants under the Change in Control Agreements are potentially substantial. Executives continuing their employment with Delphi after the Effective Date of the Plan will be asked to waive benefits under the Change in Control Agreements and certain other programs in order to be eligible for Delphi’s emergence compensation program and other related benefits. To the extent a Participant does not waive such benefits, the Company intends to challenge any asserted claims under the Change in Control Agreements. If all Participants were to successfully assert claims under the Change in Control Agreements, the resulting liability could total as much as $257.5 million. All Change in Control agreements are listed on Plan Exhibit 8.1(a) to the Plan, and will be rejected pursuant to the Plan.
  (iii)   Benefit Equalization Plan For Salaried Employees
      The Benefit Equalization Plan for Salaried Employees (“BEP”) is available to executives whose contribution and benefit levels in the Delphi Savings-Stock Purchase Program (“S-SPP”) exceed certain limits under IRC Section 415. The BEP is not funded and since October 2004, contributions have been de minimis. Amounts contributed to the BEP are separately accounted for. Distributions under the BEP are expected to aggregate approximately $160,000 and will be distributed to approximately 141 participants with an average distribution of $1,120 and a maximum individual distribution of approximately $10,000. The BEP amounts will be distributed upon emergence, and then plan will be terminated.

below. Under IRC Section 414(l), obligations in a pension plan can be transferred to another pension plan without negative tax implications if certain conditions are met. The IRC Section 414(l) transfer facilitates Delphi’s resolution of its pension issues, significantly improves the security and funding of the Delphi pension plans, and is in the best interests of plan participants. The IRS issued a favorable ruling with respect to the IRC Section 414(l) transaction on May 29, 2007.
     In exchange for the waivers, the Debtors agreed to bring their pension funding obligations up to date upon emergence from chapter 11, including an accelerated contribution to the Hourly Plan in the amount of $10 million for the plan year ending September 30, 2007 and a $10 million accelerated contribution to the Hourly Plan in settlement of any excise taxes that had already accrued. As security for their obligations under the waivers, the Debtors provided the PBGC with letters of credit in the amount of $100 million on account of the Hourly Plan and $50 million on account of the Salaried Plan. The Debtors intend to comply with the remaining terms of the waivers shortly following the effective date of the Plan of reorganization, at which time the letters of credit will be terminated.[
     On July 13, 2007, the IRS modified the conditional funding waivers granted to Delphi related to its pension plans, extending the dates by which Delphi is required to file a Plan of reorganization and emerge from chapter 11 to December 31, 2007 and February 29, 2008, respectively.
     On August 3, 2007, Delphi applied to the IRS and PBGC for a temporary waiver of its minimum funding obligations with respect to the Hourly Plan for the plan year ending September 30, 2007. The Debtors reached an agreement with the IRS and PBGC on the terms of such a conditional waiver on September 28, 2007. This second waiver is necessary to enable the IRC Section 414(l) transfer to be implemented in an economically efficient manner after September 30, 2007. Consistent with the waiverwaivers already granted with respect to the Hourly Plan and the Salaried Plan for the plan year ended September 30, 2006, the Debtors would stand by their commitment to bring their pension funding obligations up to date upon emergence from chapter 11. The Debtors have proposed that the letter of credit providedfiled a motion on October 5, 2007 for authority to the PBGC for the first waiver would also serve as security for their obligations perform under the second waiver. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the motion dated as of October 25, 2007.
      On October 4, 2007, the IRS further modified the first set of conditional funding waivers, conforming the conditions to the first waivers so that they are generally consistent with the conditions to the second waiver.
     As a result of the successful negotiation of the waivers and the IRC Section 414(l) transfer, Delphi’s business plan provides that Delphi will be able to timely meet its pension obligations following emergence from chapter 11.

**   Relates to the outcomes of negotiations with GM and Unions which varied from the assumptions in the preliminary business plan
      Over this time period, the Business Plan and certain of the financial data, projections, and assumptions imbedded in the Business Plan were analyzed and evaluated by numerous parties, including an external accounting firm that was engaged by Delphi and other external parties who closely reviewed the data and provided recommendations to Delphi. These findings were considered and taken into account when finalizing the Business Plan. In addition, Delphi provided drafts of the preliminary Business Plan to certain key stakeholders, including the Statutory Committees and their advisors, at various times during the plan development. Finally, as discussed below, the Business Plan was amended in October 2007 to account for certain changes in the capital structure of Reorganized Delphi as well as an updated forecast for GMNA volumes in 2008.

     Delphi’s annual business plan development process is comprehensive, requiring the analysis of a significant amount of data regarding various aspects of the business, as well as a vetting and review process at various levels of the organization for key aspects of the Business Plan. As previously discussed, the Company has seven divisions. Each division is comprised of several global product business units (“PBUs”). The business plan development process requires each of the Company’s PBUs and, subsequently, divisions, to create a five-year business plan which becomes a component of the overall corporate business plan. At the start of the planning period, Delphi develops macroeconomic assumptions that are used by each of its PBUs when developing their detailed business plans. The use of common assumptions ensures that the Business Plan is based on consistent metrics. Such assumptions include the following:
    expected customer production volumes;
 
    forecasted cost of significant commodities used in the business (e.g., the costs of copper and steel);

    estimated foreign exchange rates over the business plan period; and
 
    expected U.S. labor rates.
      Delphi uses Global Insight (“GI/”), formerly known as Data Resources, Inc. DRI, a third-party forecasting service, as the basis of certain assumptions regarding anticipated customer production and vehicle line volumes. When incorporating the forecasts produced by GI /DRI, Delphi uses its historical knowledge of the industry to further refine the forecasts related to GM North America (“GMNA) production, in light of the fact that GMNA has historically been a significant component of Delphi’s revenue plan. Therefore Consistent with prior practice, Delphi has reducedevaluated the GI forecasted GMNA/DRI forecasts in creating the customer product volume expectations by approximately 4%, with the largest reductions in assumptions underlying the later years of the plan. Business Plan.
  2.   Development Of The Revenue Plan
  (a)   Identifying Business Opportunities
     Utilizing the macroeconomic assumptions developed by corporate management, each PBU develops its own five-year business plan. A key component of each PBU’s plan is its revenue plan. In developing its revenue plan, each PBU undertakes a detailed assessment of future revenue opportunities with its customers. Although the process of tracking sales opportunities is an ongoing activity that is continuously evaluated by Delphi sales account managers, once a year a complete evaluation of the revenue opportunities is completed during which a majority of the PBUs attribute confidence levels to each opportunity.
     Certain of the identified revenue opportunities are known because they are derived from booked business — that is, business for which the Company already has a formal customer award or purchase order. Other revenue opportunities are prospective, based on business for which the Company believes it may receive a contract (unbooked business). To evaluate whether the revenue projections from prospective opportunities should be included in its revenue plan, PBUs engaged in the original equipment automotive business will review each individual opportunity in the Company’s sales opportunity tracking system and make a determination as to how likely it is that Delphi will win the business. The PBU will make its determination based on historical trends and industry knowledge, and will add the projected revenue from that business to its estimated revenue line if it is reasonably confident that it can achieve the resulting projected revenue stream. For PBUs with a focus other than original equipment automotive sales, the revenue determinations are based primarily based on historical trends and industry knowledge.
     In addition to identifying which customer business it believes it will win, in the process of creating its revenue plan a PBU will also assess the percentage of the customer’s business it believes it will acquire, such as whether it will supply all of the customer’s needs for a particular part or whether the customer is likely to use multiple sources for the part.
     For Delphi’s original equipment automotive business, because of the nature of the original equipment automotive industry, in which there are long periods between the time when customers award business to their suppliers and the time when production begins, in

*   excludes restructuring
     The Business Plan demonstrates that a significant amount of cash will be spent on restructuring activities. Each division has contemplated a significant number of restructuring activities, the scope, timing, and cost of which were included in the Business Plan and affect the forecasts. As a result of the restructuring, the Business Plan financials also reflect expected cost savings in manufacturing, which result from the labor transformation and global restructuring initiatives. As manufacturing and engineering operations are migrated from high-cost to low-cost locations, savings are generated, resulting in Delphi’s belief that-it will be well positioned to meet customer expectations and achieve competitive margins. Beyond the impact of these manufacturing cost initiatives, further savings in material costs are expected to be realized through engineering initiatives, supplier price reductions, and the continued shift in the supplier footprint to lower cost locations following Delphi’s own manufacturing footprint migration. The resulting transformation and growth results in a plan where Delphi continues to expand its revenue expectations from Europe, Asia, and South America while expecting revenue declines in North America.
     D.  Amendments To Final Business Plan
      Following the completion of the Business Plan appended to the Disclosure Statement filed on September 6, 2007, two events occurred which had an impact on the Business Plan. First, GI/DRI revised its projections for GMNA production volume for the period covered by the Business Plan. Second, because of the dislocation in the capital markets in the second half of 2007 and the resulting change in the distributions under the Plan, the anticipated capital structure of Reorganized Delphi changed, which affected certain assumptions underlying the Business Plan.
(BUSINESS PLAN CHART)
  1.   GMNA Production Volume
      In September 2007, GI/DRI revised its outlook for GMNA production volumes. Delphi reviewed the forecasts released by GI/DRI and discussed the basis of the

predictions with GI/DRI and GM. GI/DRI adjusted its forecasts on the basis of a number of macroeconomic factors, some of which Delphi believes are overstated or will be mitigated in ways not contemplated by GI/DRI. Although GI/DRI predicted a significant decrease in GMNA production throughout the Business Plan period, after discussions with GM and based on its own historical experience with GI/DRI and GM, Delphi believes that GMNA will have a short-term inventory adjustment period rather than the long-term downward sales reduction of the magnitude forecasted by GI/DRI. Thus, Delphi has adjusted its projections for 2008 based on the new GMNA forecast but has left the projections unchanged for 2009-2011.
      Because GMNA has historically been (and continues to be) a significant component of Delphi’s revenue plan, a change in GMNA production can have a material impact on Delphi’s forecasted revenue, particularly when the predicted volume reductions relate to vehicle programs in which Delphi provides a high percentage of content. In this case, it is predicted that as a result of the GMNA volume reductions, Delphi’s projected revenue will be reduced in 2008 by $346 million. To mitigate these losses, Delphi will reduce certain of its fixed costs, including engineering costs, SG&A costs, and structural manufacturing costs, which will result in a required $15 million increase in restructuring expenses in 2008. The net reduction to Delphi’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring costs (“EBITDAR”) is expected to be approximately $87 million. In addition, due to the reduction in forecasted sales in 2008, Delphi’s working capital levels are expected to be reduced by $43 million in 2008, and thereafter are expected to return to previously planned levels for the remainder of the Business Plan. As such, there is no net impact to working capital over the combined 2008/2009 timeframe.

          2. Revised Capital Structure
     Delphi has also adjusted its Business Plan to reflect the revised capital structure of Reorganized Delphi and revisions to the currency used for the payment of claims under the Plan, which affect certain of the assumptions underlying the Business Plan.
     First, in developing the Business Plan, it was anticipated that Reorganized Delphi would have new long-term debt including a $1.6 billion asset-based revolving facility, a $5.6 billion exit term loan, and $1.5 billion in unsecured notes. When the capital structure of Reorganized Delphi was revised based on market conditions in the third and fourth quarters of 2007 and Effective Date cash distributions under the Plan were reduced, the amount, structure, and interest rates on that debt also changed. Thus, the Company amended its assumptions to reflect a $3.7 billion exit term loan, a $1.9 billion reduction. In addition, the assumptions were modified to replace $1.5 billion in unsecured notes with $1.5 billion in second lien notes. Assumptions regarding the $1.6 billion asset-based revolving facility remained unchanged. Accordingly, the Business Plan reflects a decrease in net debt.
     Second, the change in the currency of distributions provided to various stakeholders under the Plan resulted in reduced cash distributions at the Effective Date, which affected the Company’s assumptions regarding cash flow. Because the Plan now calls for a reduction in cash distributions, the Business Plan reflects an increase in cumulative cash flow during 2008-2011.

     Rather than advancing a separate plan framework support agreement following the structure of the terminated PSA, the Investment Agreement itself outlines Delphi’s proposed framework for a plan of reorganization, which includes distributions to be made to creditors and shareholders, the treatment of GM’s claims, and the corporate governance of the reorganized Company.
     While the filing of this Disclosure Statement and the appendices and/or the exhibits to the appendices hereto was made by the Debtors after consultation with ADAH and the mutual agreement that none of the parties to the Investment Agreement shall be prejudiced by such filing, neither ADAH nor the other Plan Investors have approved this Disclosure Statement or the appendices and/or the exhibits to the appendices hereto. Neither the filing of this Disclosure Statement, the Plan and any of the exhibits and/or appendices to this Disclosure Statement or the Plan made as part of the filing of this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, nor the terms thereof, shall result in the waiver or modification of any of the rights and/or obligations of any party to the Investment Agreement including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 9(a)(xxviii) of the Investment Agreement.
     3. Amendment To The Investment Agreement
     During the month of October, the Debtors negotiated an amendment to the Investment Agreement as a result of anticipated changes to the September 6 Plan and the passage of time. Provisions of the Investment Agreement were amended to reflect changes to the Discount Rights Offering and the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued to GM. In addition, a number of provisions in the Investment Agreement were amended to reflect events that occurred since the previous amendment was approved on August 2, 2007. Certain covenants and related conditions and termination rights were amended to provide greater certainty to the consummation of the transaction. For example, the amendment to the Investment Agreement eliminates certain covenants regarding the delivery and approval of documents that have already been delivered and finalized, such as the Plan and Disclosure Statement, a disclosure letter, the GM Definitive Documents, and the Union Settlement Agreements, while maintaining approval rights over amendments to those agreements and documents. In addition, the amendment to the Investment Agreement extends the timeframe by which the HSR filings are to be made and the dates for which agreements for certain key documentation must be reached.

     C. Rights Offerings
     Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company has agreed to conduct the Discount Rights Offering and pursuant to the Plan, the Company will conduct a par value rights offering (the “Par Value Rights Offering). Pursuant to the Discount Rights Offering, Delphi’s common stockholders, who are holders of shares of Delphi common stockGeneral Unsecured Claims as of the date the Confirmation Hearing commences, (the “Rights Offering Record Date”) will receive non-transferable Rights to purchase up to approximately $1.575 billion of shares of the New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi at an exercise price of $38.5634.98 per share, a discount to the negotiated planPlan value. The holders of General Unsecured Claims will also receive the right to purchase any unsubscribed Rights not otherwise exercised in the Discount Rights Offering. Pursuant to the Par Value Rights Offering, Delphi’s common stockholders at the Rights Offering Record Date will receive non-transferable Rights to purchase up to $57212,711,111 shares (valued at approximately $529 million of shares) of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi at an exercise price of $45.0041.58, the negotiated planPlan value price, which shares consist of approximately $522 million of the New Common Stock consisting of shares contributed by the Unions. The shares of New Common Stock underlying the Par Value Rights Offering are shares that would otherwise be issued to General Unsecured Creditors and other unsecured creditors, plus an additional $50 million of the New Common Stock that would otherwise be distributable to Appaloosa and its affiliates..
     The Rights Offerings will commence following confirmation of the Plan and conclude at least on a date that is approximately 30 days thereafter.
     The Plan Investors have committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, to purchase any shares of New Common Stock that were offered through the Discount Rights Offering to eligible holders, but whose rights were not properly exercised in the initial offering or through the exercise of oversubscription rights. In the event that no shareholders were to subscribe to the Rights Offering Discount Rights are exercised, the Plan Investors, through this backstop commitment, would purchase all of the unsubscribed shares for approximately $1.575 billion.
     When the Debtors were considering entering into the Investment Agreement, there was considerable focus on negotiating plan treatment for existing equity holders that was acceptable to the Equity Committee. After extensive negotiations, the Equity Committee’s formal support of the Investment Agreement largely hinged on the terms of the Rights Offerings, and the proposed Rights Offerings are a reflection of the negotiations that took place among the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, the Equity Committee, GM, and the Plan Investors.
          (a) Eligibility For Participation In Rights Offerings
     Each holder of a General Unsecured Claim as of the Rights Offering Record Date will be entitled to participate in the Discount Rights Offering. Each holder of Existing Common Stock as of the Rights Offering Record Date will be entitled to participate in the Par Value Rights Offerings. The Rights Offering Record Date will be the date on which the Confirmation Hearing commences.

          (b) Issuance Of Rights
     The Rights will be issued no later than four business days after (i) the Bankruptcy Court has confirmed the Debtors’ Plan and (ii) the SEC declares the Registration Statement for the Rights Offerings effective. Holders that hold shares of Existing Common Stock through a brokerage account, bank, or other nominee will not receive an actual rights certificate. If a holder wishes to obtain a separate rights certificate, the holder should promptly contact its broker, bank, or other nominee and request a separate rights certificate. It will not be necessary to have a physical rights certificate to elect to exercise Rights.
     In the Discount Rights Offering, holders of Existing Common Stockallowed General Unsecured Claims on the Rights Offering Record Date will receive Rights to purchase 40,845,01645,026,801 shares of New Common Stock. These rights will not be transferable. The Rights will entitle holders to purchase New Common Stock for $38.5634.98 per share. It will not be necessary to have a physical rights certificate to effectuate a sale or transfer of the Rights. In the Par Value Rights Offering, holders of Existing Common Stock on the Rights Offering Record Date will receive Rights to purchase $572 million up to 12,711,111 shares in the aggregate worth of shares of New Common Stock. (valued at approximately $529 million), which would otherwise be issued to Unsecured Creditors and Appaloosa. These rights will not be transferable. These Rights will entitle holders to purchase New Common Stock for $45.0041.58 per share.
          (c) Rights Offering Period
     The Rights Offerings will commence when the Rights are distributed following confirmation of the Plan and conclude at leastapproximately 30 days later. After the Rights expire, any and all unexercised Rights will automatically terminate without further notice or order of the Bankruptcy Court, and any purported exercise of any such unexercised Rights by any Person will be null and void.
          (d) Exercise Of Rights
     The Rights Offering documents will set forth in detail how to exercise the Rights and such procedures should be carefully followed.
          (e) Alternatives To Exercising The Rights; Transfer Restriction Of
           (e) To realize value from the Par Value Rights Offering
     To realize value from the Rights Offerings, as alternatives to exercising the Rights, holders of the Rights Existing Common Stock may (i) sell their shares of Existing Common Stock prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing or (ii) in the case of the Discount Rights Offering, sell their Rights to participate in the Discount Rights Offering.
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-129


 

           (i) Sale Of Shares
     In advance of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, a holder of Existing Common Stock may sell its shares.. If a holder soldsells its shares prior to the Rights Offering Record Date, the buyer would be entitled to receive the Rights to participate in the Discount Rights Offering and the Par Value Rights Offering. In addition, by selling its shares prior to the Rights Offering Record Date, a shareholder would also be selling its entitlement to participate in the distribution to shareholders of New Common Stock and New Warrants contemplated by Article 5.7 of the Plan.
           (ii) Sale Of Rights
     The Rights issued for the Discount Rights Offering are transferable. Therefore, as an alternative to exercising those Rights, holders may sell the Rights to third parties. Any such transfer of Rights must be made sufficiently in advance of the expiration date of the Rights Offering to comply with settlement procedures applicable to sales of securities. If trading in the rights is initiated, such trading can be expected to be on a customary basis in accordance with normal settlement procedures. Trades effected in Rights will be required to be settled within three trading days after the trade date. A purchase and sale of Rights that is effected on the date that is two days prior to the expiration date of the Rights Offering would be required to be settled not later than the time the Rights will have expired (or, if the holder uses guaranteed delivery procedures, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day after the expiration date). Therefore, if Rights are purchased on or after the date that is two days prior to the expiration date and the holder does not properly comply with guaranteed delivery procedures, such Rights may be received after they have already expired and will be of no value.
     The Rights issued for the Par Value Rights Offering are not independently transferable, but the Common Stock is transferable as discussed in subsection (i) above.
          (f) Distribution Of Rights Offering Shares
     On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, but no later than the Distribution Date, Reorganized Delphi will issue the New Common Stock to those holders of Rights that properly exercised their Rights pursuant to the Rights certificates.
     D. Exit Financing
     The description below is based on the Debtors’ current status of discussions with third parties and will be updated as such discussions evolve.
     In addition to the equity funds raised from the Plan Investors and the Rights Offerings, the Plan contemplates that the Reorganized Debtors will have exit financing in place in an amount sufficient to repay the Debtor In Possession (“DIP”) Facility Revolver Claims, the DIP Facility First Priority Term Claims, and the DIP Facility Second Priority Term Claims, make other payments required to be made on the Effective Date, and conduct their post-reorganization operations (the “Exit Financing Facility”). The terms of the Exit Financing Facility are outlined in the term sheet attached to the Plan as an

exhibitArrangements”). The Debtors intend to enter into a “best efforts” financing arrangement with one or more nationally recognized investment banks on or before November 7, 2007, and to seek approval of such exit financing at the Debtors’ November 29, 2007 omnibus hearing.
     Beginning shortly after the approval of the Original EPCA, the Debtors contacted prospective lenders to solicit proposals regarding a potential exit facility and to conduct negotiations with respect to the terms of the proposals. The Debtors distributed information packages to the institutions that were possible sources of exit financing. By the beginning of June 2007, these institutions had conducted significant due diligence with the assistance of the Debtors. To ensure comparable proposals, Delphi also sent a common request for proposal (“RFP”) to select lenders after receiving their preliminary proposals. The Debtors received RFP responses during the week of June 25, 2007, prior to recent changes in debt the capital market conditions. As a result, the selected lenders subsequently reaffirmed their interest in providing exit financing but indicated that terms and pricing were likely to change dependent on market conditions. The Debtors intend to continue discussions with such selected lenders
     Initially, the Company sought financing of up to $7.5 billion in funded debt and, while there can be no assurances, anticipate obtaining a commitment from one or more lending sources on or before the date a $1.6 billion asset-based revolving loan through the RFP process. Because of the dynamics of the Disclosure Statement Hearing.
     Additional description of financing will be provided following receiptcapital markets in the third quarter of commitment letter2007, however, the Debtors reduced proposed debt levels under the Plan by $1.9 billion to facilitate an emergence financing package that could be executed under existing market conditions. Based on recent improvements in the capital markets, including the leveraged loan market, the Debtors, after consultation with the Creditors’ Committee, the Plan Investors, and GM, plan to move forward with an asset-based revolving loan in the amount of $1.6 billion, $3.7 billion of first-lien funded financing (possibly in conjunction with the extension of its debtor-in-possession financing facility), and second lien funded financing in the amount of $1.5 billion.
     The second lien financing will have a maturity of 8 years, and at least $750 million of this facility will be raised from a third-party lender. The remaining portion, up to $750 million, will be obtained by providing a note to GM which will have the same terms as the third-party financing. The third-party lender will also have the right, through the Effective Date, to purchase up to $500 million of the financing evidenced by the note to GM at par value. The amount of the second lien facility will be reduced by any financing obtained under the first lien facility in excess of $3.7 billion (the “Excess Amount”), with the portions of the loans provided by GM reduced, provided that the sum of (i) undrawn availability plus any open letters of credit up to $100 million pursuant to an asset-based revolving credit facility and (ii) Delphi’s pro forma consolidated cash as of the Effective Date (excluding the Excess Amount and after giving pro forma effect to the $1.5 billion cash payment to GM in connection with the 414(l) transaction) (the “Liquidity Amount”) is at least $3.189 billion. In the event that the Liquidity Amount is less than $3.189 billion,

then any Excess Amount shall be retained by Delphi up to the point that the amount of such Excess Amount retained plus the Liquidity Amount equals $3.189 billion and the remaining amount shall be paid to GM and the second lien financing will be reduced by such amount paid to GM as provided above. GM will not have registration rights with respect to the GM Note.
VIII. THE CHAPTER 11 CASES
     A. Continuation Of Business; Stay Of Litigation
     On October 8, 2005, Delphi and 38 of its U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates filed voluntary petitions in the Bankruptcy Court for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On October 14, 2005, three additional U.S. Delphi affiliates filed voluntary petitions. Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have continued to operate as debtors-in-possession subject to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are authorized to operate their businesses in the ordinary course, with transactions out of the ordinary course of business requiring Bankruptcy Court approval.
     An immediate effect of the filing of the Debtors’ bankruptcy petitions was the imposition of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code which, with limited exceptions, enjoined the commencement or continuation of all collection efforts by creditors, the enforcement of liens against property of the Debtors, and the continuation of litigation against the Debtors. This relief provided the Debtors with the “breathing room” necessary to assess and reorganize their business. The automatic stay remains in effect, unless modified by the Bankruptcy Court, until consummation of a plan of reorganization.
     B. Chapter 11 Stakeholders
     The following parties are current stakeholders in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases and/or have appeared or participated as parties-in-interest in one or more of these consolidated cases.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., (v) General Electric Company;, (vi) IUE-CWA, and (vii) Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee. Flextronics and Electronic Data Systems Corp. subsequently resigned from the Creditors’ Committee, and on or about March 6, 2006, the United States Trustee appointed Tyco Electronics Corporation to the Creditors’ Committee. On October 1, 2007, the United States Trustee filed an amended appointment of the Creditors’ Committee incorporating the changes described in the previous sentence as well as appointing SABIC Innovative Plastics (formerly GE Plastics, a part of General Electric Company). In addition to these members, the UAW participates as an ex-officio member of the Creditors’ Committee as noted in its Notice Of Withdrawal Of Motion And Memorandum Of International Union, UAW For An Order Directing Its Appointment To The Official Committee Of Unsecured Creditors, dated January 20, 2006 (Docket No. 1864). Prior to the February 3, 2006 meeting of creditors, the PBGC was also granted ex-officio status.
     The Creditors’ Committee is represented by Latham & Watkins LLP. The Creditors’ Committee’s financial advisor is Mesirow Financial Consulting, LLC, and the Creditors’ Committee financial advisor and investment banker is Jefferies & Company.
     On April 28, 2006, the United States Trustee appointed an official Committee of Equity Holders pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code to represent the interests of all equity holders in these cases. The following seven equity holders were selected to serve as members of the Equity Committee: (i) James E. Bishop, Sr., (ii) Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”), (iii) D.C. Capital Partners, L.P., (iv) Dr. Betty Anne Jacoby, (v) James H. Kelly, (vi) James N. Koury, trustee of the Koury Family Trust, and (vii) Luqman Yacub. On May 11, 2006, the United States Trustee amended the Equity Committee to include Pardus European Special Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. (“Pardus”) in place of Dr. Betty Anne Jacoby. On October 3, 2006, D.C. Capital Partners, L.P. resigned from the Equity Committee. Subsequently, on June 4, 2007, Pardus resigned from the Equity Committee. Brandes has taken a leave of absence and is not currently active in Equity Committee matters.
     The Equity Committee is represented by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP. The Equity Committee’s financial advisor is Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital, Inc.
          3. Postpetition Financing
     On October 12, 2005, the Debtors were granted interim approval pursuant to an interim Bankruptcy Court order, to use up to $950 million of the $2 billion DIP credit facility. The original DIP credit facility was subsequently amended by the First Amendment to the DIP Credit Facility, dated October 27, 2005 (the “First Amended DIP Credit Facility”). The First Amended DIP Credit Facility enabled the Debtors to borrow up to $2.0 billion from a syndicate of lenders arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. was the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Citicorp USA, Inc., was syndication agent (together with the Administrative Agent, the “Agents”). Specifically, the First Amended DIP Credit Facility consisted of a $1.75 billion revolving facility and a $250 million term loan facility (collectively, the “Amended DIP Loans”). The Debtors sought

approval of the First Amended DIP Credit Facility to ensure necessary liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases. On October 28, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court granted final approval of the DIP financing order, which approved the First Amended DIP Credit Facility, providing the Debtors access to $2 billion in DIP financing subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the DIP financing documents, as amended, and an adequate protection package for the lenders to the prepetition credit facilities as well as to those parties asserting rights of setoff against the Debtors.
     In light of the favorable environment in the debt markets at the time, in December 2006, the Debtors determined to refinance their secured facilities. Thus, on January 5, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court granted Delphi’s motion to obtain replacement postpetition financing of approximately $4.5 billion to refinance both the $2.0 billion First Amended DIP Credit Facility and the approximate $2.5 billion outstanding on its $2.825 billion prepetition credit facility. On January 9, 2007, Delphi entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan, and Guaranty Agreement (the “Refinanced DIP Credit Facility”) to borrow up to approximately $4.5 billion from a syndicate of lenders. The Refinanced DIP Credit Facility consists of a $1.75 billion first priority revolving credit facility (“Tranche A” or the “Revolving Facility”), a $250 million first priority term loan (“Tranche B” or the “Tranche B Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “First Priority Facilities”), and an approximate $2.5 billion second priority term loan (“Tranche C” or the “Tranche C Term Loan”).“). Borrowings under the Refinanced DIP Credit Facility are prepayable at Delphi’s option without premium or penalty. As a result of the refinancing, the Debtors have saved approximately $8.9 million per month in financing costs.
     The Refinanced DIP Credit Facility will expire on the earlier of December 31, 2007 or the date of the substantial consummation of a reorganization plan that is confirmed pursuant to an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Borrowings under the Refinanced DIP Credit Facility are prepayable at Delphi’s option without premium or penalty.The Debtors intend to file a motion for approval of an amendment to the Refinanced DIP Facility to provide for a six-month extension of the maturity of the facility to July 1, 2008. The Debtors plan to seek approval of this motion at the Omnibus Hearing scheduled for November 16, 2007.
     In preparation for the foregoing amendment, on October 5, 2007, the Debtors filed a motion, and the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dated as of October 25, 2007, confirming DASHI’s authority under the Final Cash Management Order (Docket No. 882) to consummate an intercompany transfer to DAS LLC. Specifically, DASHI is accumulating cash balances from certain of its global affiliates in an amount expected to be up to $650 million and, subject to the requisite consent of the DIP Lenders, will transfer these funds to DAS LLC in accordance with Final Cash Management Order. As required by the Final Cash Management Order, in exchange for DASHI’s transfer of funds to DAS LLC, DAS LLC will grant DASHI (a) a lien (in the priority permitted under the Refinanced DIP Credit Facility) on all assets and (b) an administrative claim (the “Intercompany Transaction”). The Intercompany Transaction, among other things, will provide a definitive source of liquidity on favorable terms to the Debtors. This additional liquidity will allow the Debtors to reduce their borrowings and thus reduce their funded interest expense, saving the Debtors millions of dollars of interest under their Refinanced DIP

Credit Facility. In addition, the Intercompany Transaction may create certain tax efficiencies which will inure to the benefit of all of the Debtors’ stakeholders. In connection with this transaction, the PBGC expressed certain concerns because they contend that the funds to be transferred by DASHI would be subject to pre-existing PBGC liens totaling $255 million. Although the Debtors dispute PBGC’s position, the Debtors understand that the issue presented is an important policy matter for the PBGC that would likely compel the agency to appeal an adverse judicial determination of this issue. To resolve this issue, the Debtors incorporated an adequate protection mechanism granting replacement liens to the PBGC, but only to the extent that the PBGC does in fact have valid, perfected, enforceable and non-avoidable liens in the funds to be transferred. In addition, the entered order makes clear that all parties in interest in these cases retain and reserve the right to challenge the PBGC’s purported liens on any grounds and that all of PBGC’s claims, defenses, and arguments with respect to any such challenges are expressly reserved and preserved.
     The Refinanced DIP Credit Facility provides the lenders with a perfected first lien (with the relative priority of each tranche as set forth above) on substantially all material tangible and intangible assets of Delphi and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries (however, Delphi is pledging only 65% of the stock of its first-tier foreign subsidiaries to the extent that, in its reasonable business judgment, adverse tax consequences would result if more of such stock were pledged). The Refinanced DIP Credit Facility further provides that amounts borrowed under the Refinanced DIP Credit Facility will be guaranteed by substantially all of Delphi’s Affiliate Debtors, each as debtor and debtor-in-possession. The amount outstanding at any one time under the First Priority Facilities is limited by a borrowing base computation as described in the Refinanced DIP Credit Facility. Borrowing base standards may be fixed and revised from time to time by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, with any changes in such standards to be effective ten days after delivery of a written notice thereof to Delphi (or immediately, without prior written notice, during the continuance of an event of default). The Refinanced DIP Credit Facility includes affirmative, negative, and financial covenants that impose restrictions on Delphi’s financial and business operations, including Delphi’s ability to, among other things, incur or secure other debt, make investments, sell assets, and pay dividends or repurchase stock. So long as the Facility Availability Amount (as defined in the Refinanced DIP Credit Facility) is equal to or greater than $500 million, compliance with the restrictions on investments, mergers, and disposition of assets does not apply (except in respect of investments in, and dispositions to, direct or indirect U.S. subsidiaries of Delphi that are not guarantors).
     The covenants require Delphi to, among other things, maintain a rolling 12-month cumulative Global EBITDAR (earnings before the deduction of interest expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring charges) for Delphi and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, beginning on December 31, 2006 and ending on November 30, 2007 at the levels set forth in the Refinanced DIP Credit Facility. The Refinanced DIP Credit Facility contains certain defaults and events of default customary for debtor-in-possession financings of this type. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default in payment of principal, interest, or other amounts due under the

alleged that certain current and former directors and officers of the Company breached a variety of duties owed by them to Delphi in connection with matters related to the Company’s restatement of its financial results. Following the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on October 8, 2005, all of the Shareholder Derivative Actions were administratively closed.
          (c) MDL And Related Settlements
               (i) MDL Settlements
     On July 11, 2007, the MDL Court appointed the Honorable Layn R. Phillips, former United States District Judge, as a special master for settlement discussions. Through mediated settlement discussions, representatives of Delphi, Delphi’s insurance carriers, the Creditors’ Committee, the Equity Committee, and certain other named defendants involved in the MDL proceedings, with the assistance of Judge Phillips, were able to reach a settlement agreement with the Lead Plaintiffs and the ERISA Action plaintiffs resulting in a complete resolution as to Delphi, its subsidiaries, current and former directors and officers, and certain other defendants and related parties and settlement of the Multidistrict Litigation (the “MDL Settlements”). The MDL Settlements do not resolve claims against certain other defendants and potential defendants, including but not limited to Deloitte & Touche, LLP, BBK, Ltd., SETECH, Inc., and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The MDL Settlements are comprised of a settlement with the Lead Plaintiffs (the “Securities Settlement”), the ERISA Plaintiffs (the “ERISA Settlement”), and related agreement between Delphi, various insurance companies, and certain former directors and officers (the “Insurance Settlement”). The MDL Settlements were submitted on August 31, 2007 to the MDL Court for preliminary approval and for scheduling a final fairness hearing. On September 5, 2007, the MDL Court granted preliminary approval of the MDL Settlements, and scheduled a final fairness hearing for November 13, 2007. The On September 7, 2007, the Debtors expect to file filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court on September 7, 2007 (which will be heard on September 27, 2007), seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of the MDL Settlement.
     Under the terms of the MDL Settlements, which require the approval of both the MDL Court and the Bankruptcy Court, the Lead Plaintiffs and the ERISA Action plaintiffs will receive claims/interests that will be satisfied through the Debtors’ Plan. The Lead Plaintiffs will be granted a single allowed claim/interest in the face amount of $204 million. The Lead Plaintiffs’ claim/interest will be classified in both the Section 510(b) Note Claim and Section 510(b) Equity Claim classes based on the plan of allocation approved by the MDL Court. The Lead Plaintiffs’ claim/interest will be satisfied through consideration in the same form, ratio, and treatment as what will be used to satisfy holders of General Unsecured Claims under the Debtors’ Plan. If any class member opts out of the Securities Settlement, and ultimately receives an allowed claim in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, the amount received by the opt-out class members. The motion was originally scheduled to be heard on September 27, 2007, but after consultation with a number of stakeholders, including counsel for the MDL plaintiffs and Creditors’ Committee, the Debtors determined to use a two-step bifurcated approval process for the MDL Settlements in the Bankruptcy Court. As the first step in the process, the Debtors sought and received

preliminary approval of the MDL Settlements, including without limitation, class certification, and solicitation mechanics, at the October 25, 2007 omnibus hearing. The MDL Settlements are subject to final consideration by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing on the Debtors’ Plan, following the Bankruptcy Court’s consideration of certain objections that may be filed by any of the “Potential Objectors” (that is, (i) the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, (ii) the United States Department of Labor, (iii) Wilmington Trust Company, as indenture trustee, (iv) the Ad Hoc Committee of Trade Creditors, (v) Davidson Kempner Capital Management LLC, SPCP Group, LLC, Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd., Elliott Associates, L.P., and CR Intrinsic Investors, LLC, and (vi) the Equity Committee) by the deadline for filing objections to the confirmation of the Plan.
     Under the terms of the MDL Settlements, which require the approval of both the MDL Court and the Bankruptcy Court, the Lead Plaintiffs and the ERISA Action plaintiffs will receive claims/interests that will be satisfied through the Debtors’ Plan. The Lead Plaintiffs will be granted a single Allowed Claim/Interest in the face amount of $204 million. The Lead Plaintiffs’ $204 million Allowed Claim will be classified in both the Section 510(b) Note Claim and Section 510(b) Equity Claim classes based on the plan of allocation approved by the MDL Court. The Lead Plaintiffs’ claim/interest will be satisfied through consideration in the same form, ratio, and treatment as what will be used to satisfy such holders of General Unsecured Claims under the Debtors’ Plan. If any class member opts out of the Securities Settlement, and ultimately receives an allowed claim in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, the amount received by the holder of an allowed opt-out claim will be deducted from the amount used to satisfy the Lead Plaintiffs in the Securities Settlement. The Debtors will object to any claims filed by A distribution made to a holder of an allowed opt -out plaintiffsclaim will be in the same Plan currency as that distributed on account of the Securities Settlement. The Debtors will object to any claims filed by members of the class in Securities Action who opt out of the Securities Settlement in the Bankruptcy Court, and will seek to have such claims expunged. The ERISA Settlement is structured similarly to the Securities Settlement. The ERISA Plaintiffs’ claim/interest will be allowed in the amount of $24.5 million and will be satisfied with consideration in the same form, ratio, and treatment as that which will be used to satisfy holders of General Unsecured Claims under the Debtors’ Plan. Unlike the Securities Settlement, the ERISA Plaintiffs are not entitled, and thus will not be able, to opt out of their settlement.
     In addition to the proceeds from the claims in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Lead Plaintiffs will also receive a distribution of insurance proceeds up to $88.6 million, including the remainder of any insurance proceeds (which proceeds could be used by directors and officers in connection with non-indemnifiable claims) that are not used by the eight former directors and officers as permitted in the MDL Settlements (as discussed further below), and a distribution of $1.5 million from certain underwriters named as defendants in the MDL proceedings. The ERISA Action Plaintiffs will also receive a distribution of insurance proceeds in the amount of $22.5 million. The additional proceeds from the MDL Settlements will be divided and distributed according to the terms of the MDL Settlements and the plan of allocations approved in connection with such settlements. The insurance proceeds are being held in escrow accounts pursuant to the MDL Settlements and subject to the direction of the MDL Court.

          (b) Reclamation Claims Program
     On November 4, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved global procedures for receiving, reviewing, responding to, and resolving reclamation demands. The Debtors received thousands of reclamation demands, including duplicate demands. Due to the high volume of reclamation demands received by the Debtors, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors a 45-day extension of the deadline to reconcile all reclamation claims. After reviewing these demands, the Debtors identified 855 non-duplicate reclamation demands with a total face amount of more than $285 million.
     To facilitate the review process of these 855 reclamation demands and the requirement to respond to all reclamation demands within 135 days, the Debtors developed a comprehensive process for responding to all such reclamation demands, evaluating any disagreements, and reaching agreed reclamation claim amounts subject to certain reserved defenses. Reclamation response statements were sent to all 855 claimants on February 21, 2006. These statements, representing the results of many hours of review of invoices and billing records, identified total reclamation claims of approximately $18.4 million. Since that time as a result of additional negotiations and reconciliations, the current amount of reclamation claims is approximately $22 million. As a result of almost continual negotiations with reclamation claimants since the Petition Date, more than 785 of the original 855 non-duplicate claims have now been resolved, subject to reservation of further defenses.
     With respect to reclamation claims, the Debtors propose to allow each claimant to elect to take a general unsecured claim for the amount of its reclamation claim rather than have the Debtors seek a judicial determination that the reclamation claims are subject to the Debtors’ reserved defense that reclamation claims are not entitled to administrative priority status on the grounds that the goods and/or the proceeds from the sale of the goods for which claimants are seeking a reclamation claim are or were subject to a valid security interest (the “Prior Lien Defense”). If a claimant elects to decline a general unsecured claim, then that claimant’s reclamation claim will be automatically adjourned to a contested hearing to be held after the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11, which would determine whether the Prior Lien Defense applies to those claimants’ reclamation claims. The Debtors would retain all other reserved defenses with respect to the reclamation claims.
     To effect this election, and as more fully outlined in the Solicitation Procedures Order, the Debtors are sending the claimants a separate notice which will state the amount the Debtors believe is the valid amount of each such claimants’ reclamation claim (the “Reconciled Reclamation Claim Amount”) and allow each claimant to choose the treatment for its reclamation claim (the “Reclamation Election Notice”).
     The Reclamation Election Notice provides that if the claimant agrees with the Debtors’ stated Reconciled Reclamation Claim Amount, it may elect either elect payment of the reclamation claim in the plan currency afforded to holders of general unsecured claims under the Plan or to assert administrative priority treatment for their its reclamation claim and litigate such treatment at a contested hearing on the Prior Lien Defense to be held after the Company’s emergence from chapter 11. If the claimant disagrees with the Reconciled Reclamation Claim Amount, the claimant is required to To contest treatment of

its reclamation claim as a general unsecured claim, the Seller must so mark and return the Reclamation Election Notice by November 12, 2007. Any dispute over the Reconciled Reclamation Claim Amount will then be resolved following the effective datethe deadline to be established by the Bankruptcy Court for the submission of votes on the Plan in accordance with the Reclamation Procedures set forth in the order entered by the Bankruptcy Court establishing procedures for the treatment of reclamation claims. If the claimant makes no election and does not dispute the Reconciled Reclamation Claim Amount, it will be given plan currency with postpetition intereston the Reclamation Election Notice, or affirmatively elects the treatment afforded general unsecured claims, it will receive a distribution on account of its Reconciled Reclamation Claim Amountin the currency afforded to holders of general unsecured claims under the Plan, to the extent that such Reclamation Claim is allowed, and will be deemed to have waived any right to seek administrative priority status for its Reclamation Claim. Notwithstanding the treatment afforded Reclamation Claims under these procedures, Reclamation Claims will not receive any voting rights on the Plan on account of their Reclamation Claims.
     To the extent that the Debtors resolicit acceptances or rejections of the Plan (or any alternative plan of reorganization), such resolicitation will include a provision allowing any holder of a Reclamation Claim who made any election pursuant to the Reclamation Election Notice to amend such election by filing a duly executed copy of a rescission notice (which must be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Creditors’ Committee) on or before the deadline for voting on such amended plan.
          5. Disposition Of Assets
            (a) Sale Of De Minimis Assets
     On October 28, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order permitting the Debtors to sell certain assets of de minimis value. The order approved procedures for selling assets, outside the ordinary course of business, without further court approval provided that the purchase price is less than $10 million for each transaction or in the aggregate for a related series of transactions. In connection with this order, the Debtors formulated internal approval procedures to both comply with closing conditions and satisfy the notice procedures set forth in the order. During these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have disposed of assets under the de minimis assets order.
            (b) JCI Transaction
     Prior to the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors sold their global battery business to Johnson Controls, Inc. (“JCI”), with the limited exception of two U.S. facilities located in New Brunswick, New Jersey and the other in Fitzgerald, Georgia. Accordingly, although the transaction occurred prepetition, the Debtors needed to address several post-closing matters relating to the Debtors’ disposition of the Company’s money-losing battery manufacturing facility in New Brunswick, New Jersey and the planned transition to JCI of battery production in the Fitzgerald, Georgia facility. Because JCI could not fill existing customer needs with its own manufacturing facilities, Delphi Automotive SystemsDAS LLC agreed to keep the Fitzgerald and New Brunswick facilities operating exclusively to sell batteries to JCI, even though the New Brunswick facility was

losing approximately $3 million per month and the Fitzgerald facility was losing approximately $2 million per month.
     To limit these losses, the Debtors negotiated a transfer agreement with JCI, which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on June 26, 2006. The approved transfer agreement provided for (a) the sale of the New Brunswick facility to JCI, (b) the continued supply of batteries as well as the orderly transition of production to JCI from the Fitzgerald facility, (c) the implementation of an attrition plan with the IUE-CWA with provisions included to encourage the consensual separation of approximately 200 of the New Brunswick facility’s 300 hourly employees, (d) the payment of $12.5 million from JCI to mitigate a majority of the costs of that attrition plan, and (e) the IUE-CWA’s waiver of the no-sale clause and certain neutrality obligations with respect to the New Brunswick facility. The Debtors completed this sale on August 1, 2006.
          (c) MobileAria, Inc.
     On July 21, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the sale of all of the assets of MobileAria, an Affiliate Debtor, through an auction process. The auction for the assets of MobileAria was held on July 6, 2006 and the sale hearing was held on July 19, 2006. On July 31, 2006, MobileAria and Wireless Matrix USA, Inc. closed the sale of substantially all of MobileAria’s assets in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s order dated July 21, 2006. MobileAria received cash proceeds of approximately $11 million in connection with the sale.
          (d) Interiors And Closures
     On February 20, 2007, Delphi announced that it had signed a non-binding term sheet with the Renco Group, Inc. for the sale of its Interiors and Closures business. On October 15, 2007, Delphi and certain of its affiliates entered into a Master Sale And Purchase Agreement with Inteva Products, LLC and certain of its affiliates (the “Interiors and Closures Agreement”) for the sale of substantially all of the assets primarily used in the Company’s cockpits and interior systems business and integrated closures systems business. Concurrently, the Debtors filed a motion requesting a hearing on October 25, 2007 to approve bidding procedures in connection with the sale. On October 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving those bidding procedures (the “Interiors and Closures Bidding Procedures Order”). It is anticipated that a hearing to approve the sale will be held on January 8, 2008. The effectiveness of the Interiors and Closures Agreement is subject to the competitive bidding process approved in the Interiors and Closures Bidding Procedures Order, including a potential auction, and Bankruptcy Court approval.
          (e) Brake Hose
     On March 27, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the sale of certain of the Debtors’ assets comprising substantially all of the assets exclusively used in the brake hose product and certain intellectual property related to the brake hose business to Harco Manufacturing Group, LLC for $9.8 million (“Harco”). On September 28, 2007, the Debtors and other considerationHarco closed the sale in accordance with the

Bankruptcy Court’s March 27, 2007 order. The Debtors received cash proceeds of approximately $9.8 million in connection with the sale.
            (f) Catalyst
     On June 6, 2007, the Debtors announced that they had entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Belgium-based Umicore for the sale of assets of their global original equipment and aftermarket Catalyst Business. Concurrently, the Debtors filed a motion requesting a hearing on June 26, 2007 to approve bidding procedures in connection with the sale and a hearing on August 16, 2007 to approve the sale. On August 8, 2007, the Debtors, pursuant to bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court, held an auction for the Catalyst Business. At the conclusion of the auction, the Debtors determined that Umicore had submitted the highest and best bid, and on August 16, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the Catalyst Business to Umicore for $75 million, subject to adjustments, and other consideration. TheOn September 30, 2007, the Debtors anticipateand Umicore closed the sale closing before the endin accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s order dated August 16, 2007. The Debtors received cash proceeds of 2007approximately $66.0 million in connection with the sale.
            (g) Mexico Brake Plant Asset Sale
     On June 14, 2007, Robert Bosch, DAS LLC, and two non-Debtor Mexican affiliates (including Delphi Sistemas de Energia, S.A. de C.V. (“DSE”)) signed an asset sale and purchase agreement for the transfer by DAS LLC and DSE of most, but not all, of the material, equipment, and productive materials used for the production of brake products in a Saltillo, Mexico manufacturing plant for approximately $15 million. On June 15, 2007, the Debtors filed a motion requesting a hearing on June 26, 2007 to approve bidding procedures in connection with the sale and a hearing on July 19, 2007 to approve the sale. On July 19, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the sale of assets. The parties intend to close the sale by the end of the third quarter of 2007.
          6. Salaried Employee-Related Programs
            (a) Key Employee Compensation Program
     The Debtors have implemented certain aspects of a key employee compensation program (“KECP”), pursuant to which executive-level U.S. employees have the capability of receiving incentive-based compensation based on the Company’s and individual performance. Upon commencement of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, certain of the Debtors’ salaried employees’ compensation programs were terminated, including the annual incentive program and long-term incentive program. The Debtors also cancelled a retention awards program enacted before the Petition Date. As a result, upon the Debtors’ entry into chapter 11, the Debtors’ U.S. executives saw their total compensation opportunities decrease by approximately 50%, going from a total prepetition compensation plan composed of base salary, an annual incentive program, a long-term incentive program, and retention grants to a postpetition compensation package consisting solely of base salary.
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-150


 

     The Debtors’ KECP motion consisted of three primary parts: (i) a short-term at-risk incentive compensation program, (ii) an emergence award plan, and (iii) a prepetition severance plan that was modified in the third quarter of 2005. The KECP program was designed, in part, to replace some of the prepetition compensation programs for the Debtors’ U.S. executives. The KECP takes as a principle that the Company should provide market-competitive compensation opportunities designed to motivate its executive workforce to perform for the Debtors. Notably, the KECP in this case is different from traditional employee compensation and retention programs in at least two important ways. First, Mr. Miller, the former CEO and current Executive Chairman of Delphi, opted not to participate in the KECP. Rather, Mr. Miller is eligible for a discretionary performance payment, which would be determined by the compensation committee of Delphi’s Board of Directors. Second, the KECP has no “retention” aspect at all.
     Eligible employees under the KECP do not receive automatic payments simply for remaining in the employ of the Debtors. Rather, all incentive-based compensation is linked to specific performance and emergence targets in order to give these employees incentive to work towards a successful and early emergence from chapter 11. Indeed, the short-term at-risk incentive compensation programs ultimately proposed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases have incorporated six-month performance cycles, as opposed to the more traditional year-long periods, to closely monitor the Debtors’ ongoing financial progress and to ensure that executive performance remains linked to the evolving demands of the Chapter 11 Cases. Additionally, even if the Debtors achieve their corporate and division-level performance targets, eligible employees also must maintain an acceptable level of personal achievement to qualify for the at-risk incentive compensation payments. Finally, the Debtors implemented an EBITDAR-based metric to evaluate the performance of the Debtors. In doing so, however, the Debtors eliminated from their analysis gains, if any, obtained during the applicable performance period as a result of their negotiations with GM and the Unions. By designing a short-term at-risk incentive compensation program in this manner, the Debtors sought to maximize the performance of their executives, which in turn, would increase the value of the Debtors’ Estates.
     Although the implementation of the KECP was heavily contested by numerous constituents, the Bankruptcy Court ultimately approved elements of the KECP. Specifically, the short-term at-risk incentive compensation program has since been approved by the Bankruptcy Court for periods covering 2006 and the first half of 2007.
          (b) Supplemental Executive Retirement Program
     Since the separation from GM, Delphi has had a Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (the “SERP”) for certain employees. The SERP is a non-qualified plan under the IRC that is separate from, but is integrated with, the Delphi Retirement Program for Salaried Employees, a qualified pension plan under the IRC. Pursuant to the authority granted by that certain Order Under 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a), 363, 507, 1107, And 1108 (i) Authorizing Debtors To Pay Prepetition Wages And Salaries To Employees And Independent Contractors; (ii) Authorizing Debtors To Pay Prepetition Benefits And Continue Maintenance Of Human Capital Benefit Programs In the Ordinary Course; And (iii) Directing Banks To Honor Prepetition Checks For Payment Of Prepetition Human

DS-151


 

Capital Obligations (Docket No. 198), the Debtors have, throughout the course of the Chapter 11 Cases, continued to make monthly SERP payments to eligible retirees, limited to $5,000 per month per retiree. Pursuant to the Plan, however, the Debtors will (i) no longer honor their obligations under the SERP as the Debtors will reject, as of the Effective Date, or otherwise terminate the current SERP and (ii) implement a new Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (the “New SERP”) with respect to current eligible employees (subject to the execution of a waiver of claims) which, in effect, (a) freezes the benefits under the SERP and modifies eligibility to the age of 55 years with ten years of service and (b) supplements the frozen SERP benefit with a new benefit under a separate plan (the “DC SERP”). Accordingly, as of the effective date of the Plan, the Debtors will no longer make monthly SERP payments to retirees, the retirees will have 30 days after the effective date of the Plan to file a proof of claim for any claims arising under the SERP, and current eligible employees that were entitled to the SERP will not be penalized by the rejection, termination, and/or halting of benefits with respect to the SERP because they will be eligible to participate in the New SERP.
     Under the Plan, all persons holding or wishing to assert Claims arising out of the SERP, and whose SERP Claims vested prior to the Petition Date, must file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve upon the Debtors a separate, completed, and executed proof of claim (substantially conforming to Form. No. 10 of the Official Bankruptcy Forms) no later than 30 days after the Effective Date. All such Claims not filed within such time will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors and their Estates or the Reorganized Debtors and their property. Any Claims arising out of SERP after the Petition Date will be disallowed in their entirety. Allowed SERP Claims will receive the treatment afforded to Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan. Each such Allowed SERP Claim will receive a distribution on the earliest Distribution Date after such SERP Claim is allowed, if ever. For further details, including details regarding postpetition interest on General Unsecured Claims, see Sections IX.ETreatment Of Claims And Interests Under The Plan and IX.H – Provisions Governing Distributions of this Disclosure Statement.
          (c) Change In Control Agreements
     In early 2000, Delphi modified certain terms of its change in control agreements (collectively, the “Change in Control Agreements”) with its officers that had been in existence since the Separation. The Change in Control Agreements provide certain benefits to each participant (each, a “Participant”) upon the occurrence of a change in control of Delphi and additional benefits if the employment of a Participant is terminated for certain reasons after a change in control. A change in control is defined under the Change in Control Agreements to include (i) the acquisition by any person, other than Delphi or any subsidiary of Delphi, of beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding common stock of Delphi; (ii) certain changes in the composition of Delphi’s board of directors; (iii) certain mergers, consolidations, and other reorganizations of Delphi in which Delphi is not the surviving corporation; (iv) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer of 50% or more of the assets of Delphi; or (v) a liquidation or dissolution of Delphi.
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-152


 

     Pursuant to the Change in Control Agreements, Participants are entitled to certain payments and benefits upon the occurrence of a change in control, including the immediate vesting of all unvested options and restricted stock units, and the full funding of all of the Participant’s “target awards” and any compensation previously deferred at the election of the Participant, together with accrued interest or earnings thereon. Additional payments and benefits are payable to Participants who cease to be employed by Delphi during the three years following a change in control if (i) Delphi terminates the Participant’s employment other than for “cause” (as defined therein); (ii) the Participant terminates his or her employment if, without his or her consent, (a) his or her salary and other compensation or benefits are reduced for reasons unrelated to Delphi’s or the Participant’s performance, (b) his or her responsibilities are negatively and materially changed, (c) he or she must relocate his or her work location or residence more than 25 miles from its location as of the date of the change in control, or (d) Delphi fails to offer him or her a comparable position after the change in control; or (iii) during the one-month period following the first anniversary of the change in control, the Participant ceases to be employed by Delphi for any reason other than for cause.
     The aggregate change in control liabilities arising from these and other rights granted to Participants under the Change in Control Agreements are potentially substantial. Executives continuing their employment with Delphi after the Effective Date of the Plan will be asked to waive benefits under the Change in Control Agreements and certain other programs in order to be eligible for Delphi’s emergence compensation program and other related benefits. To the extent a Participant does not waive such benefits, the Company intends to challenge any asserted claims under the Change in Control Agreements. If all Participants were to successfully assert claims under the Change in Control Agreements, the resulting liability could total as much as $257.5 million.
          (d) Benefit Equalization Plan For Salaried Employees
     The Benefit Equalization Plan for Salaried Employees (“BEP”) is available to executives whose contribution and benefit levels in the Delphi Savings-Stock Purchase Program (“S-SPP”) exceed certain limits under IRC Section 415. The BEP is not funded and since October 2004, contributions have been de minimis. Amounts contributed to the BEP are separately accounted for. The BEP will be terminated and all accounts paid out within 30 days of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter.
     On June 14, 2007, Robert Bosch, DAS LLC, and two non-Debtor Mexican affiliates (including Delphi Sistemas de Energia, S.A. de C.V. (“DSE”)) signed an asset sale and purchase agreement for the transfer by DAS LLC and DSE of most, but not all, of the material, equipment, and productive materials used for the production of brake products in a Saltillo, Mexico manufacturing plant for approximately $15 million. On June 15, 2007, the Debtors filed a motion requesting a hearing on June 26, 2007 to approve bidding procedures in connection with the sale and a hearing on July 19, 2007 to approve the sale. On July 19, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the sale of assets. The parties intend to close the sale during the fourth quarter of 2007.

            (h) Saginaw Chassis Asset Sale
     On September 17, 2007, DAS LLC and Delphi Technologies, Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with TRW Integrated Chassis Systems LLC (the “Saginaw Chassis Agreement”) for the sale of certain of the assets, including, without limitation, manufacturing equipment and test and development equipment primarily used and located at the Company’s chassis facility in Saginaw, Michigan, for approximately $26.4 million and other consideration, including approximately $15 million for useable and merchantable inventory existing as of the closing date and up to $0.4 million for out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in relocating manufacturing equipment and related tooling from Saltillo, Mexico. Delphi Canadia, Inc. also is selling assets located at a facility in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 17, 2007, by and between Delphi Canada, Inc. and TRW Integrated Chassis Systems LLC, which is an agreement ancillary to the Saginaw Chassis Agreement. Also on September 17, 2007, Delphi filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting approval of bidding procedures for the sale and requesting that a sale hearing be set. The hearing to approve bidding procedures in connection with the sale is currently set for November 16, 2007. The effectiveness of the Saginaw Chassis Agreement is subject to a competitive bidding process, including a potential auction, and Bankruptcy Court approval.
          7.6. Real Property And Related Matters
     Pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court order dated November 30, 2005, the Bankruptcy Code section 365(d)(4) deadline for assuming or rejecting the Debtors’ unexpired leases of nonresidential real property was extended to June 7, 2007. On April 13 and August 16, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders further extending the 365(d)(4) deadline. The current deadline is the earlier of the date when a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases is confirmed and February 29, 2008.
     Separately, on March 27, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to effectuate a transaction that enabled the Debtors to consolidate into one facility located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, six of their leased office and technical centers located in Michigan and Illinois, and a portion of one owned site in Flint, Michigan. The same order authorized the Debtors to reject certain leases for facilities that would be consolidated. The consolidation of these facilities will enable to the Debtors to create a consolidated footprint in Southeast Michigan that is closer to key customers and will generate net savings of over $100 million dollars over a ten-year period.
          8.7. Global Events
     In February 2007 Delphi’s indirect wholly owned Spanish subsidiary, Delphi Automotive Systems España, S.L. (“DASE”), announced the planned closure of its sole operation at the Puerto Real site in Cadiz, Spain. The closure of this facility is consistent with Delphi’s transformation planTransformation Plan to optimize its manufacturing footprint and to lower its overall cost structure. The facility, which has approximately 1,600 employees, is the primary holding of DASE.

including the right under section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to use defensively the abandoned avoidance cause of action as a ground to object to all or any part of a claim against any estate asserted by a creditor that remains in possession of, or otherwise obtains the benefit of, the avoidable transfer.
     OnceAlthough actions subject to these procedures have been commenced, the Debtors will proceed no further and not use them for any purpose while they focus on confirming the Plan. The procedures are designed to permit the Debtors to preserve these claims while otherwise maintaining the status quo with all parties-in-interest. The actions will remain dormant and become relevant again only in the unlikely event that the Debtors do not timely emerge from chapter 11.
            (c) FICA Claimants’ Estate Causes of Action
     In 1999 and 2003, Delphi, a predecessor of DAS LLC, and Delphi Automotive Systems Services LLC (the “FICA Claimants”) agreed to pay “ratification bonuses” shortly after the effective date of duly ratified collective bargaining agreements to certain union members who were classified in a specified status (i.e., active status, protected status, temporary layoff status, or various forms of short-term leave of absence). The FICA Claimants contend that the payments were not “wages” subject to taxation under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) because the payments were not in exchange for any services by the union members, but instead constituted payments in exchange for a promise by the union membership to be bound by the collective bargaining agreements. The FICA Claimants nevertheless withheld and paid FICA taxes to the IRS to avoid the possibility of becoming secondarily liable for the FICA taxes owed to the IRS by those union members. The FICA Claimants subsequently filed claims for refunds with the IRS. The IRS denied the refund claim for 1999 FICA taxes while these Chapter 11 Cases were pending, but the IRS has yet to act on the refund claim for 2003 FICA taxes. The FICA Claimants may file actions for the benefit of the estates to recover an amount that is currently estimated to be $26,058,128 in 1999 and 2003 FICA overpayments, as well as related interest, and to expressly preserve these estate causes of action in Exhibit 7.24 of the Plan.
     E. Summary Of Claims Process
     The Debtors’ claims administration process in these chapter 11 cases is an advanced process compared to other large, complex Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors have made significant progress in reconciling and allowing claims, primarily because one of the conditions in both the Original EPCA and the Investment Agreement is that the allowed or estimated amount for certain “trade and other unsecured claims” will not exceed $1.7 billion, the dollar threshold negotiated among the Debtors and the Plan Investors.
  1.   Schedules Of Assets And Liabilities And Statements Of Financial Affairs
     On January 20, 2006, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Financial Affairs (collectively, the “Schedules and Statements”). In compliance with the requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, separate
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-160


 

Schedules and Statements were filed for the 42 debtors in the jointly-administered chapter 11 cases. The Debtors filed amendments to the Schedules and Statements on February 1, 2006 and, April 18, 2006., and for ten Debtors on October 12, 2007. The global notes and limitations with respect to the Schedules and Statements are incorporated by reference in, and comprise an integral component of, the Schedules and Statements, and should be referred to and reviewed in connection with the Schedules and Statements.
     For financial reporting purposes, the Debtors, along with their subsidiaries which are not the subject of cases under the Bankruptcy Code, prepare consolidated financial statements that are filed with the SEC and that are audited annually. Unlike the consolidated financial statements, the Schedules and Statements reflect the assets and liabilities of each individual Debtor, except as otherwise noted. The Schedules and Statements do not purport to represent financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States, nor are they intended to fully reconcile to the consolidated financial statements filed by Delphi.
          2. Claims Bar Date
     On April 12, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Bar Date Order”) establishing July 31, 2006 as the general deadline for filing proofs of claim against the Debtors (the “Bar Date”). Proofs of claim were not required to be filed by any person or entity who
    agreed with the nature, classification, and amount of its Claim as described in the Schedules and Statements and whose Claim against a Debtor was not listed as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated” in the Schedules,
 
    already filed a proof of claim against the correct Debtor,
 
    asserted only an administrative expense claim and not a claim otherwise subject to the Bar Date Order,
 
    asserted a claim solely on the basis of future pension or other post-employment benefits,
 
    had a claim that had been allowed by or paid pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court order,
 
    was the holder of certain notes, or
 
    held Delphi common stock.
The Bar Date Order also provides for a new Bar Date for claimants who may be affected by two specific events which might have occurred before or may occur after the Bar Date. First, if the Debtors amend the Schedules and Statements to reduce the undisputed, non-contingent, and liquidated amounts or to change the nature or classification of a particular Claim against a Debtor reflected therein, then the affected claimant has until 30 calendar days after such claimant is served with notice that the Debtors have amended their

DS-161


 

Schedules to file a proof of claim or to amend any previously filed proof of claim in respect of such amended scheduled claim. Second, holders of claims based on the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases have until the later of (i) the Bar Date or (ii) 30 calendar days after the effective date of such rejection to file a claim.
     Under the Bar Date Order, any person or entity which was required to file a proof of claim, but failed to do so in a timely manner on or before the applicable Bar Date, is forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from (a) asserting any claim that such person or entity has against the Debtors that (i) is in an amount that exceeds the amount set forth in the Schedules and Statements as undisputed, non-contingent, and unliquidated or (ii) is of a different nature or in a different classification than as set forth in the Schedules and Statements and (b) voting upon, or receiving distributions under, any plan or plans of reorganization in these Chapter 11 Cases in respect of such a claim, and the Debtors and their property will be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness or liability with respect to such a claim.
     The Debtors’ claims and noticing agent, Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC, provided notice of the Bar Date by mailing to each person listed in the Schedules and Statements: (i) a notice of the Bar Date, (ii) a proof of claim form, and (iii) statements which indicated whether the claim of each recipient was listed in the Schedules and Statements as either unliquidated, contingent, and/or disputed.
     The Debtors also published notice of the Bar Date on or before April 24, 2006 in New York Times (national edition), the Wall Street Journal (national, European, and Asian editions, USA Today (worldwide), the Automotive News (national edition), and in local editions of the following: the Adrian Daily Telegram, the Arizona Daily Star, the Buffalo News, the Chicago Sun Times, the Clinton News, the Columbus Dispatch, the Daily Leader, the Dayton Daily News, the Detroit Free Press, the El Paso Times, the Fitzgerald Herald Leader, The Flint Journal, the Gadsden Times, the Grand Rapids Press, the Greensville News, the Indianapolis Star, the Kansas City Star, the Kokomo Tribune, the Lansing State Journal, the Laurel Leader, the Los Angeles Daily News, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Mobile Beacon, The Mobile Register, the Oakland Press, the Olathe Daily News, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, the Saginaw News, the Sandusky Register, the Tribune Chronicle, the Tulsa World, The Tuscaloosa News, and The Vindicator.
     In total, the Debtors provided notice of the Bar Date to more than 500,000 persons and entities.
          3. Proofs Of Claim And Other Claims
     As of September 5October 26, 2007, the Debtors had received approximately 16,600700 proofs of claim, of which approximately 900 were filed after the Bar Date. A portion of these approximately 16,600700 proofs of claim assert, in part or in whole, unliquidated amounts. In addition, the Debtors have compared proofs of claim received to scheduled liabilities and determined that there are certain scheduled liabilities for which no proof of claim was filed. In the aggregate, total proofs of claim and scheduled liabilities assert approximately $37 billion in liquidated amounts, including approximately $900
 
Notice of Proposed
Amendments October 29, 2007

DS-162


 

million in intercompany claims, and additional unliquidated amounts. Although the Debtors have not completed the process of reconciling these proofs of claim and thus, the ultimate amount of such liabilities is not determinable at this time, the Debtors believe that the aggregate amount of claims filed is likely to exceed the amount that will ultimately be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.
          4. Claims Reconciliation Progress
     The Debtors have sought to resolve their claims pool on an expedited basis. With $37 billion in liquidated amounts plus certain unliquidated amounts asserted against the Debtors as of January 31, 2007 in more than 16,500 proofs of claim, and certain scheduled liabilities for which no proof of claim was filed, the Debtors faced a challenging task. Between September 19, 2006 and September 5October 26, 2007, the Debtors have filed 2022 Omnibus Claims Objections seeking disallowance of approximately 9,700800 proofs of claim with approximately $9.6 billion in asserted liquidated amounts plus unliquidated amounts, and modification of approximately 3,400700 proofs of claim with approximately $560727 million in asserted liquidated amounts. As of September 5October 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court has entered orders expunging approximately 9,100 300 proofs of claim, which reduced the amount of asserted claims by approximately $8.79.3 billion. In addition, the asserted claim amount of approximately 2,700 3,100 claims has been reduced by approximately $42.567.2 million either through orders on omnibus claims objections ($24.535.1 million) or stipulated orders ($18.032.1 million). Additionally, 8087 proofs of claim asserting approximately $188249 million have been withdrawn.
     The Debtors and their advisors devoted a significant amount of time to the claims resolution process. For example, the Debtors gained court approval of certain claims objection procedures, which are discussed in more detail below, applicable to claims that become contested when claimants respond to an omnibus objection. Pursuant to these procedures, the Debtors scheduled multiple claims for adjudication in a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, held multiple “meet-and-confer” discussions and mediations, and ultimately resolved several contested claims during the period from October 2006 through AugustOctober 2007 before they were scheduled for hearing. Finally, with respect to contested claims that did proceed to hearing, the Debtors obtained orders disallowing and expunging 94% of such claims, thus reducing the prepetition unsecured claims pool by approximately $230 million.
     As of September 5October 26, 2007, there are approximately 500250 proofs of claim of the approximately 16,500 700 proofs of claim which still require further reconciliation by the Debtors. The Debtors anticipate that some of these remaining proofs of claim will be withdrawn as they are reconciled and the Debtors intend to place all remaining proofs of claim that are not withdrawn on future omnibus claims objections.
          5. Claims Objection Procedures And Estimation Procedures Motion
     On May 22, 2006, the Debtors established a team of analysts whose primary duty was to reconcile all proofs of claim filed against the Debtors. The claim reconciliation process entails comparing the assertions in each proof of claim to the Debtors’ books and records. The reconciliation includes a validation of three basic claim components: Debtor,

classification, and amount. Once a discrepancy between an asserted claim and the Debtors’ books and records is identified, the Debtors place the claim on an objection to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and seek either to disallow and expunge or modify the claim in accordance with their books and records (an “Omnibus Claims Objection”). The Debtors filed their first Omnibus Claims Objection on September 19, 2006 and to date have filed 2022 Omnibus Claims Objections.
     On December 7, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Claims Procedures Order”) establishing (1) special hearings to consider contested claims matters, (2) certain procedures governing the filing and contents of claimants’ responses to Omnibus Claims Objections, (3) certain procedures governing the adjudication of contested claims matters, and (4) certain procedures for the service of Omnibus Claims Objections. The Claims Procedures Order provides that if a claimant files a response to an Omnibus Claims Objection and that response complies with the procedures set forth in that order, then the hearing on the Debtors’ objection to the claim will be adjourned to a special claims hearing. During the claims administration process, claimants have filed responses with respect to approximately 1,500750 claims. As of September 5October 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court had conducted ten14 claims hearings to adjudicate approximately 585750 of those claims, resulting in those claims being disallowed and expunged. A total of 62110 signed settlement agreements have resulted in settlements satisfactory to the Debtors. The remaining claims have either been scheduled to be resolved at future claims hearings, are subject to further reconciliation, or are being negotiated in the hopes of reaching consensual agreements which would be presented at future claims hearings by the parties.
     The Debtors intendOn September 28, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (“Estimation Procedures Order”) with respect to file their Motion For Order Pursuant To 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(A) And 502(C) (A) Estimating And Setting Maximum Cap On Certain Contingent Or Unliquidated Claims And (B) Approving Expedited Claims Estimation Procedures (the “Estimation Procedures Motion”) which will be scheduled certain contingent or unliquidated claims establishing (1) a maximum cap amount for certain claims, solely for the September 27, 2007 omnibus hearing. The Estimation Procedures Motion will seek to implement procedures for estimating all remaining Disputed Claims with an unliquidated componentpurposes of tabulating votes on and establishing Disputed Claims Reserves assetting appropriate reserves under any plan of reorganization of the Effective DateDebtors, (2) that the Debtors may further object to, or seek to estimate, any and all of the unliquidated claims at lesser amounts for purposes of allowance and distribution, (3) that hearing dates scheduled pursuant to the Claims Procedures Order will also be used to consider the estimation of certain claims, and (4) certain expedited claims estimation procedures governing the filings and evidence that would be presented in conjunction with an estimation hearing.

          6. Key Classes Of Claims
               (a) GM Claims
                    (i) GM’s Proof Of Claim
     On July 31, 2006, GM filed an unliquidated amended proof of claim. The claims asserted by GM included warranty/recall claims, overpricing and overpayment claims, short shipments claims, damaged goods claims, missed price reduction claims, lease and service contract claims, flowback employee post employment benefits and relocation cost claims, claims arising under the special attrition programs, UAW benefit guarantee claims, personal injury indemnification claims, environmental claims, federal, state, and other tax claims, and intellectual property claims. For certain portions of its claim, GM provided documentation aggregating approximately $6 billion. Under the Plan, GM will receive $2.7 billion and other consideration in satisfaction of its claims. In addition, certain GM claims will flow through the Chapter 11 Cases and be satisfied by the Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of business while certain of GM’s warranty claims were settled by agreement of the parties as set forth more fully below.
                    (ii) Settlement Of GM Warranty Claims
     GM asserted that it incurred costs and suffered damages arising from certain customer warranty claims and/or recall campaigns related to allegedly non-conforming parts and systems supplied by Delphi to GM. These claims were not subject to the general settlement with GM as documented in the Global Settlement Agreement and Master Restructuring Agreement. During separate negotiations to resolve the warranty claims, GM advised Delphi that the amount of certain warranty claims had substantially increased from those asserted in GM’s proof of claim.
     On September 27, 2007, the Debtors anticipate filing a Bankruptcy Court granted Delphi’s motion seeking authorization from the Bankruptcy Court to enter into and perform under a settlement agreement resolving the warranty claims (the “Warranty Settlement Agreement”) with GM for a total estimated amount of approximately $200 million. With certain limited exceptions, the agreement (i) settles all outstanding warranty claims and issues related to a component or assembly supplied by Delphi to GM that are (a) known by GM as of August 10, 2007, (b) determined by GM to be Delphi’s responsibility in whole or in part, and (c) managed in GM’s investigation process, and (ii) limits the liability related to certain other warranty claims that have become known by GM on or after June 5, 2007. Under the Warranty Settlement Agreement, GM would be is foreclosed from bringing any type of claim set forth on the exhibits attached thereto, if it is shown that on or before August 10, 2007 (i) GM knew about the claim, (ii) the amount of the claim exceeded $1 million as of the date of the Warranty Settlement Agreement or GM believed the claim would exceed $1 million, (iii) the claim, as of the date of the Warranty Settlement Agreement, was in GM’s investigation process or GM determined that it should have been in GM’s investigation process but excluded it from that process for the purpose of pursuing a claim against Delphi, and (iv) GM believed as of the date of the Warranty Settlement Agreement, or reasonably should have believed at that time, that Delphi had some responsibility for the claim. The Debtors estimate that the settlement saves their Estates

hundreds of millions of dollars in potential liability which, to the extent ultimately allowed and absent this settlement, would likely receive Flow-Through Claim status.
               (b) Labor Union Claims
     In total, the Unions filed 663 proofs of claim against the Debtors, asserting approximately $11.8 billion plus additional unliquidated amounts. Of the total union claims, the UAW asserted a claim for $11 billion plus additional unliquidated amounts, the UAW GM Center for Human Resources asserted a claim for $145 million, the USW asserted a claim for $570 million, the IUE-CWA and affiliated unions asserted 441 claims asserting unliquidated amounts, the IUOE and affiliated unions asserted 127 claims asserting approximately $98,000 plus unliquidated amounts, the IBEW and affiliated unions asserted 45 claims asserting approximately $3.3 million plus unliquidated amounts, and the IAM and affiliated unions asserted 45 claims asserting approximately $225,000 plus unliquidated amounts.
     A joint stipulation and agreed order entered by the Bankruptcy Court on February 26, 2007 between the Debtors and the IUE-CWA, IAM, IBEW, and IUOE resolved 481 claims, with those unions agreeing to withdraw those claims. The remaining 182 claims, asserting approximately $11.72 billion plus additional unliquidated amounts, have been resolved pursuant to additional Bankruptcy Court orders or are expected to be resolved through stipulations reached with the Unions.
               (c) Environmental And Other Regulatory Claims And Investigations
     Delphi is subject to the requirements of U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge, and waste management. Delphi has an environmental management structure designed to facilitate and support its compliance with these requirements globally. Although Delphi intends to comply with all such requirements and regulations, the Debtors cannot provide assurance that they are at all times in compliance. The Debtors have made and will continue to make capital and other expenditures to comply with environmental requirements. Although such expenditures were not material during the past three years, Delphi is preparing to spend $10.9 million to install pollution control equipment on coal-fired boilers at its Saginaw, Michigan Steering Division facility to meet U.S. and Michigan air emission regulations. Environmental requirements are complex, change frequently, and have tended to become more stringent over time. Accordingly, the Debtors cannot assure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent over time or that the Debtors’ eventual environmental cleanup costs and liabilities will not be material.
     Delphi is also subject to complex laws governing the protection of the environment and requiring investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination. Delphi is in various stages of investigation and cleanup at its manufacturing sites where contamination has been discovered. Additionally, Delphi has received notices that it is a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in proceedings at various sites, including the Tremont Barrel Fill Site located in Tremont City, Ohio. In September 2002, Delphi and other PRPs
DS-166

entered into a Consent Order with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to perform a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study concerning a portion of the site. The Remedial Investigation has been completed, and an Alternatives Array Document should be finalized in 2007. A Feasibility Study and Record of Decision are expected to be completed in 2008. Although Delphi believes that capping and future monitoring is a reasonably possible outcome, it appears that the State of Ohio will oppose that remedy. Because the manner of remediation is yet to be determined, it is possible that the final resolution of this matter may require the Debtors to make material future expenditures for remediation, possibly over an extended period of time and possibly substantially in excess of the existing reserves. Delphi believes that its liability for the site will be between 25% and 60% of the final overall site investigation and remediation costs. Delphi will continue to re-assess any potential remediation costs and, as appropriate, Delphi’s overall environmental reserves as the investigation proceeds.
     When it has been possible to provide reasonable estimates of Delphi’s liability with respect to environmental sites, provisions have been made in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As of June 30, 2007, Delphi’s reserve for such environmental investigation and clean up was approximately $120 million, which reflects in part the retention by GM of the environmental liability for certain inactive sites as part of the Separation. Delphi cannot ensure that environmental requirements will not change or become more stringent over time or that Delphi’s eventual environmental cleanup costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of its current reserves. Moreover, facility sales and/or closures relating to the restructuring process could trigger additional and perhaps material environmental remediation costs, as previously unknown conditions may be identified.
     As was agreed to in connection with the Investment Agreement, and as is further outlined in the Plan, Environmental Obligations have been classified as Flow-Through Claims and thus will be unimpaired by the Plan and will be satisfied in the ordinary course of Delphi’s business (subject to the preservation and flow-through of all Estate rights, claims, and defenses with respect to those obligations).
          (d) State Of New York Workers’ Compensation Board Claims
     Under the laws of the various jurisdictions in which they operate, the Debtors are required to maintain workers’ compensation policies and to provide Employees with workers’ compensation coverage for claims arising from or related to workplace illnesses or injuries arising during their employment with the Debtors. Therefore, and in accordance with applicable requirements of local law, the Debtors maintain workers’ compensation policies in all states in which they operate.
     In the State of New York, the Debtors currently provide their Employees with self-insured workers’ compensation. Pursuant to workers’ compensation policies, Employees seeking reimbursement for work-related injuries file their claims directly against the Debtors. In connection with their self-insured workers’ compensation, the Debtors are required by some of the states in which they operate as a self-insured, including New York, to post security such as cash, securities, irrevocable letters of credit, security deposits, or surety bonds for the benefit of the respective state. Failure of the Debtors to pay their workers’ compensation obligations can result in a draw down in the

affected state of such letters of credit, security deposits, and/or surety bonds. Further, failure to maintain the requisite security could give a state the right to revoke the Debtors’ self-insured employer status. By virtue of the provisions of a first day order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors were authorized to pay all amounts related to workers’ compensation claims and incurred but not reported claims.
     To date, the Debtors have paid all workers’ compensation obligations to their Employees arising in the State of New York. Under the Plan, all workers’ compensation obligations, regardless of whether they arise from prepetition or postpetition events, and regardless of whether a proof of claim has been filed, will flow through the Plan and continue to be paid by the Debtors in the ordinary course.
     The Debtors have been advised by the State of New York Workers’ Compensation Board (“NYSWCB”) that because of recalculations by the NYSWCB based upon reports submitted by the Debtors, the amount of security currently posted by the Debtors with New York is substantially inadequate and would require a significant increase to be in compliance with the updated requirements. The Debtors do not agree with the revised calculation and take issue with the conclusions of the NYSWCB. As a result, representatives of the Debtors and the NYSWCB have been in continuing discussions to try to resolve this issue. If this issue is not resolved to the satisfaction of the NYSWCB, it is likely that the State of New York will seek to terminate Delphi’s ability to maintain self-insured status pursuant to provisions of the New York State’s Workers’ Compensation Law. Delphi reserves its right to challenge any such effort. In the event the Debtors’ ability to maintain self-insured status is revoked, alternative arrangements for workers’ compensation coverage would most certainly be more costly.
     F. Professional Fees
     At the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order establishing procedures for interim compensation and reimbursement of expenses of professionals (the “Compensation Order”). The Compensation Order requires professionals retained in these cases to submit monthly fee statements to the Debtors and requires the Debtors to pay 80% of the requested fees and 100% of the requested expenses pending interim approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The remaining 20% of fees requested in such fee statements are paid only upon further order of the Bankruptcy Court (the “Holdback”). The Compensation Order requires the professionals retained in these Chapter 11 Cases to file applications for approval of their fees and expenses for the preceding four-month period approximately every four months.
     To monitor costs to the Debtors’ estates and avoid duplicative efforts in the review of fee applications filed in these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, and the U.S. Trustee negotiated the formation of a joint fee review committee (the “Fee Review Committee”) to review, comment on, and, if necessary, object to the various fee applications filed in these Reorganization Cases. On May 5, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the establishment of the Fee Review Committee and approved a protocol regarding the committee, its composition, mandate, and procedures. The Fee Review Committee is comprised of representatives of each of: (a) the U.S. Trustee for this District, (b) the Debtors, and (c) the Creditors’ Committee. On August 17, 2006, the Bankruptcy

Court entered an order authorizing the Fee Review Committee to retain Legal Cost Control, Inc. as a fee analyst to assist the Fee Review Committee.
     The fees approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the Debtors’, Creditors’ Committee’s, and Equity Committee’s professionals are as follows (including requested fees and expenses for the fifth interim fee application period, which will be heard at the October 25, 2007 omnibus hearing, and fees and expenses incurred through JulyAugust 31, 2007, invoiced or estimated as of September October 15, 2007):

          IX. SUMMARY OF THE REORGANIZATION PLAN
     A. Introduction
     Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. Under chapter 11, a debtor is authorized to reorganize its business for the benefit of itself, its creditors, and its shareholders. In addition to permitting rehabilitation of the debtor, chapter 11 promotes equality of treatment of creditors and equity security holders who hold substantially similar claims against or interests in the debtors and its assets. In furtherance of these goals, upon the filing of a petition for relief under chapter 11, section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for an automatic stay of substantially all acts and proceedings against the debtor and its property, including all attempts to collect claims or enforce liens that arose prior to the commencement of the chapter 11 case.
     The consummation of a plan of reorganization is the principal objective of a chapter 11 case. A plan of reorganization sets forth the means for satisfying claims against and interests in a debtor. Confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court makes the plan binding upon the debtor, any issuer of securities under the plan, any person or entity acquiring property under the plan, and any creditor of or equity security holder in the debtor, whether or not such creditor or equity security holder (i) is impaired under or has accepted the plan or (ii) receives or retains any property under the plan. Subject to certain limited exceptions and other than as provided in the plan itself or the confirmation order, the confirmation order discharges the debtor from any debt that arose prior to the

Cash, securities, and other property in respect of certain Classes of Claims and Interests as provided in the Plan. The Classes of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors created under the Plan, the treatment of those Classes under the Plan, and the securities and other property to be distributed under the Plan are described below.
          1. Settlements Embodied In The Plan
     The foundation of Delphi’s restructuring and the Plan is a series of interdependent settlements (each, a “Settlement” and, collectively, the “Settlements”) and compromises of various claims and disputes. The Settlements, which are the product of protracted negotiations between and among various constituencies, including the Debtors, GM, the UAW, the IUE-CWA, the USW, the IAM, the IBEW, the IUOE, the Creditors’ Committee, the Equity Committee, and the MDL Plaintiffs (collectively, the “Settlement Negotiation Parties”), and their respective financial and legal professionals, are reflected in the recoveries of the various holders of claims and interests under the Plan and are designed to achieve a global, consensual resolution of these Chapter 11 Cases. Although litigation could produce somewhat different absolute and relative recoveries than those embodied in the Plan for some of the Settlement Negotiation Parties, those parties believe that any such litigation would be extraordinarily expensive and would not be finally resolved for a long period of time, which would consequently delay and materially reduce distributions to all holders of Claims and Interests. The Debtors also believe that the recoveries provided to holders of Claims and Interests under the Plan are substantially higher than the lowest point in the range of reasonable litigation outcomes in the absence of the Settlements. The Settlements among the Settlement Negotiation Parties have paved the way for the Plan, which will enable maximum distributions to all of the holders of Claims and Interests, without the cost and delay of litigation. The Equity Committee actively participated in the various negotiations leading to the Settlements. As previously discussed, certain events and market factors affecting Plan distributions and the Debtors’ businesses led to continued discussions among certain of the Settlement Negotiation Parties after the filing of the September 6 Plan. As a result of those discussions, which led to diminished distributions to the holders of Existing Common Stock, the Equity Committee now disagrees with and may oppose the terms of certain of the Settlements.
     The claims and disputes being resolved by the Settlements include, among others:
    Delphi’s potential claims and causes of action against GM, the Statutory Committees’ request to prosecute such claims, and the resolution of GM’s proof of claim.
 
    The claims asserted by the UAW, IUE-CWA, USW, IAM, IBEW, and IUOE against the Debtors and the ratification of labor agreements with each of the Debtors’ principal labor unions.
 
    The claims and causes of action asserted by various plaintiffs against certain defendants including the Debtors in the Multidistrict Litigation in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

     The substance of each of the Settlements is discussed at length previously in this Disclosure Statement. Although the Settlement Negotiation Parties disagree over the relative strengths and weaknesses of the claims and potential defenses involved asserted by certain parties to the Settlements and, accordingly, disagree as to how those claims and defenses would fare if litigated to final judgment, they do agree that resolution of the claims and disputes is crucial to confirmation of any plan. Clearly, any litigation concerning the settled matters would be exceptionally complicated and protracted, and given the magnitude of the values involved and the amount of claims at stake, would be hotly contested and expensive. Such litigation would in turn substantially prolong these Chapter 11 Cases, which all constituencies believe is not in the best interests of the Estates or Delphi’s long term business objectives. For these reasons, the Debtors believe that the Settlements reached among the Settlement Negotiation Parties are in the best interests of the Estates and all stakeholders.
          2. The Plan Investors’ Investment
     As briefly summarized above, the Plan Investors have agreed to make a substantial investment in the Reorganized Debtors in furtherance of the Debtors’ Transformation Plan and Plan of Reorganization. The Plan Investors’ investment will be made pursuant to the Investment Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 7.11 to the Plan. Under the Investment Agreement, the Plan Investors have agreed to purchase New Preferred Stock in Reorganized Delphi for $800 million, New Common Stock in Reorganized Delphi for $175 million, and any shares of New Common Stock in Reorganized Delphi that are not subscribed for in the Rights Offering.
     C. Summary Of Changes To The Plan
     Delphi’s Transformation Plan accomplishments are described in detail in Section V of the Disclosure Statement. It is Debtors’ view (along with that of the Debtors’ advisors) that the majority of the Transformation Plan’s goals have been completed, and that the transformation goals available through chapter 11 have been accomplished. Consequently, the Debtors (and their advisors) believe that the value of the Debtors’ businesses will erode if the Debtors continue to operate under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and a prompt consummation of the Plan is not achieved.
     For the months during which the September 6 Plan was being negotiated, assumptions were made regarding the availability of certain exit financing terms, the enterprise value of the Reorganized Debtors, and the valuation of distribution to holders of Claims and Interests that distributed value to senior creditors and junior interest holders. Since those negotiations took place and the Debtors filed the September 6 Plan, the availability of the financing terms assumed in the September 6 Plan has been reduced by $1.9 billion and the Business Plan has been revised to reflect reduced volume production forecasts for GMNA. As a result, Delphi undertook discussions with several of its constituents following the filing of the Plan and Disclosure Statement on September 6, 2007. These discussions led to amendments to the September 6 Plan and changes to Plan recoveries for all stakeholders.

     The changes in recoveries for the various stakeholders is a result of the Debtors’ need to preserve the value of the Company by consummating its Plan, the settlements embodied in the Plan, and the ability of the Plan Investors to make contributions to the Debtors’ reorganization. Each of the Debtors’ stakeholders places a different value on the settlements embodied in the Plan, but the Debtors believe that a prompt consummation of the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors, the estates, and the stakeholders.
          1. General Unsecured Creditors
     The September 6 Plan provided for holders of General Unsecured Claims to recover the principal amount of such holders’ Claims plus accrued interest, or a “par plus accrued recovery at Plan value.” The ultimate recovery to holders of General Unsecured Claims (exclusive of TOPrS Claims) has not changed, but the currency used to effect this recovery has been modified under the Amended Plan. Under the September 6 Plan, holders of General Unsecured Claims were to be receive a “par plus accrued” distribution equal to 80% stock valued at $45 per share and 20% in Cash. Under the Plan, holders of General Unsecured Claims now will receive 92.4% of their allowed claims (including applicable accrued postpetition interest) in stock valued at $41.58 per share and Discount Rights equal to the value of 7.6% of their allowed claims (including applicable accrued postpetition interest). In addition, holders of General Unsecured Claims will receive oversubscription rights in the Discount Rights Offering that will enable them to purchase New Common Stock underlying the Discount Rights that are not exercised. The price of New Common Stock available through the exercise of oversubscription rights will be $0.25 per share higher than the Discount Rights Offering, with incremental cash paid to all non-subscribing General Unsecured Creditors on a pro rata basis.
     Under the September 6 Plan, the holders of TOPrS Claims were to receive payment of their Claims (including accrued postpetition interest) in full in stock valued at $45 per share. The Plan now provides that holders of TOPrS Claims will receive payment of their Claims (excluding postpetition interest) in full at Plan value of which 92.4% will be paid in stock valued at $41.58 per share and Discount Rights equal to the value of 7.6% of their allowed claims (excluding applicable accrued postpetition interest).
          2. GM
     The September 6 Plan proposed to pay GM $2.7 billion in Cash in settlement of the GM Claim on the Effective Date of the Plan. The Plan now provides GM an overall claim in the same amount, but such claim will be paid in different currency. Under the Plan, GM will receive the consideration described in Section V.F.2.(a)(iii)(3) — Consideration To Be Received By GM.
          3. Existing Common Stock
     Under the September 6 Plan, holders of Existing Common Stock would have received their pro rata share of 1,476,000 shares of New Common Stock, certain participation rights in the Discount Rights Offering at a purchase price of $38.56 per share, certain participation rights in the Par Value Rights to purchase New Common Stock at $45.00 per share, and their pro rata share of New Warrants (exercisable for five years) at an

exercise price of $45.00 per share. The Plan now provides holders of Existing Common Stock with a pro rata share of rights to acquire up to 12,711,111 shares of New Common Stock in the Par Value Rights Offering at $41.58 per share. These shares would otherwise be allocated to holders of General Unsecured Claims and Appaloosa on account of their claims. In addition, holders of Existing Common Stock will receive their pro rata share of New Warrants to acquire $1.0 billion of New Common Stock at $45, and the New Warrants will be exercisable for six months after the Effective Date. Any proceeds from the exercise of New Warrants will be used by Delphi to redeem shares of the preferred stock held by GM.
     C.D. Substantive Consolidation Of Certain Debtors
     The Plan contemplates and is predicated upon entry of an order substantively consolidating certain of the Debtors’ Estates for purposes of all actions associated with confirmation and consummation of the Plan. The Court may order substantive consolidation in the exercise of its general equitable discretionary powers under section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code to ensure the equitable treatment of creditors. The effect of substantive consolidation will be the pooling of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated Debtors and the satisfaction of creditor claims from the resulting common fund. The Debtors in a particular consolidated Debtor group will be substantively consolidated with each other but not with any other Debtor.
     Specifically, under the Plan, the groups of Debtors and individual non-consolidated Debtors are

     The Plan provides for the payment of postpetition interest on General Unsecured Claims at the applicable contractual non-default rate from the Petition Date through December 31, 2007 (and if there is no contract rate, at the Michigan Statutory Rate—that rate of interest provided for in Michigan Compiled Laws § 600.613 (4.845%), calculated as if the Petition Date were the date when the complaint had been filed under Michigan Law). In consultation with the Creditors’ Committee, and as authorized by the Bankruptcy Court in the Solicitation Procedures Order, the Debtors have agreed to send a notice to the affected claimants as part of their Solicitation Package that sets forth this proposed treatment of interest and establishes a procedure by which affected claimants can submit their applicable contractual interest rate to the Debtors (the “Postpetition Interest Rate Determination Notice”).

     If a party receiving the Postpetition Interest Rate Determination Notice wishes to submit a contractual rate of interest to be paid on account of its claim, the party receiving the notice is required to return the Postpetition Interest Rate Determination Notice to the Voting Agent for General Unsecured Creditors (Kurtzman Carson Consultants) on or before November ,[], 2007, the same date as the Voting Deadline. The Debtors will then review the Postpetition Interest Rate Determination Notice and, if they disagree with the interest rate requested, file an objection to the notice no later than 30 days after the Effective Date of the Plan. The dispute will then be resolved following the Effective Date of the Plan in accordance with the Debtors’ general claim resolution procedures and as more fully described in the Plan.
                    (ii) Class D (GM Claim).
     Class D consists of the GM Claim that may exist against a particular Debtor.

To the extent a Restructuring Transaction affects a foreign entity held directly by a chapter 11 Debtor, then, unless authorized by a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court, such transaction will be consummated only following entry of the Confirmation Order pursuant to the authority anticipated to be granted by the Confirmation Order. Specifically, the Company anticipates that DASHI and certain of its non-debtor subsidiaries will be involved in various consolidation and/or restructuring transactions designed, among other things, to facilitate increased access to liquidity and to maximize structural efficiency. In connection with these transactions, certain non-U.S. entities will be pushed two tiers further down from DASHI – where most non-U.S. entities are held. These transactions will be structured as capital contributions and/or in exchange for various forms of consideration, including without limitation, debt and/or equity.
     For illustrative purposes, the following diagram represents a current, yet limited, organizational diagram of DASHI and certain of its subsidiaries. The diagram includes, among other entities, those non-U.S.certain of the entities that are anticipated to be impacted by the Restructuring Transactions, as indicated in yellow.

As described in Section IX – Summary Of The Reorganization Plan above, the Plan will pay or satisfy all Allowed Claims in full through distributions of cash, common stock, or both. As a result, avoiding preferential transfers through causes of action under section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or similar state laws would provide little or no benefit to the Debtors’ Estates because any party returning such a transfer would be entitled to an unsecured claim for the same amount, to be paid or satisfied in full under the Plan. For the same reasons, avoiding statutory liens under section 545 of the Bankruptcy Code or prepetition setoffs under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code would provide little or no benefit to the Estates.

requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless such executory contracts or unexpired leases (i) will have been previously rejected by the Debtors by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) will be the subject of a motion to reject pending on or before the Effective Date, (iii) will have expired or terminated on or prior to December 31, 2007 (and not otherwise extended) pursuant to its own terms, (iv) are listed on the schedule of rejected executory contracts or unexpired leases attached to the Plan as Exhibit 8.1, or (v) are otherwise rejected pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court will constitute approval of the rejections and assumptions contemplated hereby pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Each executory contract or unexpired lease assumed pursuant to Article 8.l(a) of the Plan will vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing or providing for its assumption or applicable federal law.

  2.   Payments Related To Assumption Of Executory Contracts And Unexpired Leases
             (a) Material Supply Agreements
     Any monetary amounts by which each Material Supply Agreement to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default will be satisfied, under section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code by Cure, and will be paid to the non-Debtor counterparty to the Material Supply Agreement. To the extent that Cure has not already been agreed to between the Debtor party to the agreement and the non-Debtor party, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors will provide each party whose Material Supply Agreement is being assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan, in accordance with the Cure procedures established under the Solicitation Procedures Order, with a notice that will provide: (i) the contract or lease being assumed or assumed and assigned; (ii) the name of the proposed assignee, if any; (iii) the proposed cure amount if any, that the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor believes it (or its assignee) would be obligated to pay in connection with such assumptions; (iv) an election for the payment terms of the Cure Amount Claim, and (v) the procedures for such party to object to the assumption or assumption and assignment of the applicable contract or lease or the amount of the proposed Cure Claim Amount (the “Cure Amount Notice”). The Cure Amount Notice will be in substantially the form approved by the Bankruptcy Court under the Solicitation Procedures Order and will be served on each non-debtor Debtor party or parties to a Material Supply Agreement. If the non-debtorDebtor party does not timely respond to the Cure Amount Notice, the Cure Amount Claim will be paid in Cash and New Common Stock and Discount Rights in the same proportion as that received by holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date. If the non-debtorDebtor party responds to the Cure Amount Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Solicitation Procedures Order and the non-debtorDebtor party asserts a dispute regarding (x) the nature or amount of any Cure, (y) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (z) any other matter pertaining to assumptions, Cure will occur following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. If there is a dispute as to the amount of Cure that cannot be resolved consensually among the parties, the Debtors will have the right to reject the contract or lease for a period of five days after entry of a final order establishing a Cure amount in excess of that provided by the Debtors.
            (b) Other Executory Contracts And Other Unexpired Leases
     The provisions (if any) of each Other Executory Contract or Other Unexpired Lease to be assumed under the Plan which are or may be in default shall be satisfied solely by Cure. Any party to an Other Executory Contract or Other Unexpired Lease that wishes to assert that Cure shall be required as a condition to assumption must file and serve a proposed Cure Claim so as to be received by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors as applicable, and their counsel at the address set forth in Article 14.8 of the Plan within 45 days after entry of the Confirmation Order (the “Cure Claim Submission Deadline”), after
Notice of Proposed Amendments

DS-211


 

which the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, will have 45 days to file any objections thereto. Should a party to an Other Executory Contract or Other Unexpired Lease not file a proposed Cure Claim by the Cure Claim Submission Deadline in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan, then any default then existing will be deemed cured as of the day following the Cure Claim Submission Deadline and such party will forever be barred from asserting against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, a claim that arose on or prior to the Confirmation Date. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of any Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the matter shall be set for hearing in the Bankruptcy Court on the next available hearing date, or such other date as may be agreed upon, and Cure, if any, will occur following the entry of a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court resolving the dispute and approving the assumption or assumption and assignment, as the case may be. If there is a dispute as to the amount of Cure that cannot be resolved consensually among the parties, the Debtors will have the right to reject the contract or lease for a period of five days after entry of a Final Order establishing a Cure amount in excess of that provided by the Debtors. If the cure amount was filed and served in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan and is not disputed, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, will pay the Cure Claim, if any, to the claimant within 20 days after service of the Cure Claim. Disputed cure amounts that are resolved by agreement or Final Order will be paid by the Debtors within 20 days of such agreement or Final Order.
     To the extent the Debtor who is party to the executory contract or unexpired lease is to be merged or liquidated as part of a Restructuring Transaction, the non-Debtor parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease will, upon assumption as contemplated in the Plan, be deemed to have consented to the assignment of such executory contract or unexpired lease to the Reorganized Debtor that is the surviving entity after such Restructuring Transaction. The provisions (if any) of each Intercompany Executory Contract and Intercompany Unexpired Lease to be assumed under the Plan which are or may be in default will be satisfied in a manner to be agreed to by the relevant Debtors and/or non-Debtor Affiliates.
          (c) Intercompany Executory Contracts And Intercompany Unexpired Leases
     Any Cure Claim arising from the assumption of an Intercompany Executory Contract or an Intercompany Unexpired Lease will be Reinstated and will be satisfied in a manner to be agreed to by the relevant Debtors and/or non-Debtor Affiliates.
          (d) Assignment Pursuant To Restructuring Transactions
     To the extent the Debtor who is party to an executory contract or unexpired lease is to be merged or liquidated as part of a Restructuring Transaction, the non-Debtor parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease will, upon assumption as contemplated in the Plan, be deemed to have consented to the assignment of such executory contract or

unexpired lease to the Reorganized Debtor that is the surviving entity after such Restructuring Transaction.
          (c)3. Rejection Damages Bar Date
     If the rejection by the Debtors (pursuant to the Plan or otherwise) of an executory contract or unexpired lease results in a Claim, then such Claim will be forever barred and will not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or such entities’ properties unless a proof of claim is filed with the Claims Agent and served upon counsel to the Debtors and the Creditors’ Committee within 30 days after the later of (a) entry notice of the Confirmation Order or (b) notice that the executory contract or unexpired lease has been rejected, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.
     H.I. Provisions Governing Distributions
          1. Time Of Distributions
     Except as otherwise provided for herein or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions under the Plan will be made on a Periodic Distribution Date.
          2. No Interest On Disputed Claims

          3. Disbursing Agent
     The Disbursing Agent will make all distributions required under the Plan except with respect to any holder of a Claim or Interest whose distributionClaim or Interest is governed by an agreement and is administered by a Servicer, which distributions will be deposited with the appropriate Servicer, as applicable, who will deliver such distributions to the holders of Claims or Interests in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the terms of any governing agreement. If any such Servicer is unable to make such distributions, the Disbursing Agent, with the cooperation of such Servicer, will make such distributions.
          4. Surrender Of Securities Or Instruments
     On or before the Distribution Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, each holder of an instrument evidencing a Claim (a “Certificate”) will be required to surrender such Certificate to the Disbursing Agent, or, with respect to indebtedness that is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer, the respective Servicer, and such Certificate will be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors and such cancellation will not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-a-vis one another to such instruments. This requirement does not apply to any Claims Reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan. No distribution of property under the Plan will be made to or on behalf

October 29, 2007

DS-213


 

of any such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Disbursing Agent or the respective Servicer or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Disbursing Agent or the respective Servicer. Any holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate, or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent or the respective Servicer prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, will be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims in respect of such Certificate and will not participate in any distribution hereunder, and all property in respect of such forfeited distribution, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, will revert to the Reorganized Debtors notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.
          5. Services Of Indenture Trustees, Agents, And Servicers

For purposes of reviewing the reasonableness of the fees and expenses of the Servicers (and their attorneys), the Debtors, the Statutory Committees, and the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York must be provided with copies of invoices of each Servicer (and its attorneys) in the form typically rendered in the regular course of the Servicers’ business or attorneys’ representation of the Servicers. The invoices must contain narrative descriptions of the services rendered and itemization of expenses incurred. To the extent that there are any disputes that the reviewing parties are unable to resolve with the Servicers, the reviewing parties must report to the Bankruptcy Court as to whether there are any unresolved disputes regarding the reasonableness of the Servicers’ (and their attorneys’) fees and expenses. Any such unresolved disputes may be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution.
          6. Claims Administration Responsibility
             (a) Reorganized Debtors
     The Reorganized Debtors will retain responsibility for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising, or otherwise resolving all Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors and making distributions (if any) with respect to all Claims and Interests, except as otherwise described in Article IX of the Plan.
             (b) Joint Claims Oversight Committee

The Joint Claims Oversight Committee will monitor the general unsecured claims reconciliation and settlement process conducted by the Reorganized Debtors, provide guidance to the Reorganized Debtors, and address the Bankruptcy Court if the Joint Claims Oversight Committee disagrees with the Reorganized Debtors’ determinations requiring claims resolution. The composition of the Joint Claims Oversight Committee must be reasonably satisfactory to Appaloosa, but in any case, will include at least one

representative appointed by Appaloosa and one representative appointed by the Creditors’ Committee. For so long as the claims reconciliation process continues, the Reorganized Debtors will make regular reports to the Joint Claims Oversight Committee. The Joint Claims Oversight Committee may employ, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, professionals to assist it in carrying out its duties as limited above, including any professionals retained in these Chapter 11 Cases, and the Reorganized Debtors will be required to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the Joint Claims Oversight Committee and its members, including reasonable professional fees, in the ordinary course without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.
             (c) Filing Of Objections
     Unless otherwise extended by the Bankruptcy Court, any objections to Claims and/or Interests must be served and filed on or before the Claims/Interests Objection Deadline. Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim or Interest will be deemed properly served on the holder of the Claim or Interest if the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors effect service by the following means: (i) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004, (ii) to the extent counsel for a holder of a Claim or Interest is unknown, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the proof of claim or other representative identified on the proof of claim or any attachment thereto (or at the last known addresses of such holders of Claims if no proof of claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address), or (iii) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on behalf of the holder of the Claim or Interest in the Chapter 11 Cases and has not withdrawn such appearance.
             (d) Determination Of Claims Or Interests
     Any Claim or Interest determined and liquidated pursuant to (i) the ADR Procedures, (ii) an order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (iii) applicable non-bankruptcy law (which determination has not been stayed, reversed, or amended and as to which determination (or any revision, modification, or amendment thereof) the time to appeal or seek review or rehearing has expired and as to which no appeal or petition for review or rehearing was filed or, if filed, remains pending) will be deemed an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Interest in such liquidated amount and satisfied in accordance with the Plan. The Plan will not constitute or be deemed a waiver of any claim, right, or Cause of Action that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against any Person in connection with or arising out of any Claim or Claims, including, without limitation, any rights under section 157(b) of title 28 of the United States Code.
          7. Delivery Of Distributions
            (a) Allowed Claims
     Distributions to holders of Allowed Claims will be made by the Disbursing Agent or the appropriate Servicer (a) at the addresses set forth on the proofs of claim filed by such holders of Claims (or at the last known addresses of such holders of Claims if no proof of claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address), (b) at

the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related proof of claim, (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no proof of claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address, or (d) in the case of a holder of a Claim whose Claim is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer, at the addresses contained in the official records of such Servicer.
             (b) Allowed Interests
     For the purpose of making distributions (other than the Rights) to holders of Allowed Interests pertaining to Existing Common Stock, the transfer ledger in respect of the Existing Common Stock in Delphi will be closed as of the close of business on the Effective Date, and the Disbursing Agent and its respective agents will be entitled to recognize and deal for all purposes with only those holders of record stated on the transfer ledger maintained by the stock transfer agent for the Existing Common Stock in Delphi as of the close of business on the Effective Date.
             (c) Undeliverable Distributions
     If any distribution to a holder of a Claim or Interest is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder of such Claim or Interest will be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent or the appropriate Servicer is notified of the then-current address of such holder of the Claim or Interest, at which time all missed distributions will be made to such holder of the Claim or Interest without interest. Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions will be returned to the Reorganized Debtors until such distributions are claimed. The Debtors will make reasonable efforts to locate holders of undeliverable distributions. All claims for undeliverable distributions must be made on or before the later to occur of (i) the second anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) six months after such holder’s Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Interest, after which date all unclaimed property will revert to the Reorganized Debtors free of any restrictions thereon and the claim of any holder or successor to such holder with respect to such property will be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.
  8.   Procedures For Treating And Resolving Disputed And Contingent Claims
             (a) No Distributions Pending Allowance
     No payments or distributions will be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest has become an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. All objections to Claims or Interests must be filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline.

          (b) Distribution Reserve
     The Debtors will establish one or more Distribution Reserves, including reserves aggregating $1.7 billion on account of General Unsecured Claims (other than Senior Note ClaimsNew Common Stock, New Warrants, Oversubscription Cash, and TOPrS Claims), Section 510(b) Note Claims, Section 510(b) Equity Claims, Section 510(b) ERISA Claims, and Cure Claims Cash raised by the Par Value Rights Offering for the purpose of effectuating distributions to holders of Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests pending the allowance or disallowance of such claims or interests in accordance with thethis Plan.
(i)     Distribution Reserve Related To New Common Stock And New Warrants Distributed Pursuant To The Plan
     The Debtors or the Disbursing Agent will establish a reserve to hold the New Common Stock and New Warrants that would otherwise be distributed to holders of Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests based on the amounts estimated by the Bankruptcy Court of such Claims or Interests or agreed to by the holder of such Claim or Interest and the Debtors.
(ii)     Distribution Reserve For Oversubscription Cash
     The Debtors or Disbursing Agent shall establish a Distribution Reserve for the Oversubscription Cash. The Distribution Reserve shall be equal to the Pro Rata portion of the Oversubscription Cash to which Non-exercising Creditors would be entitled under this Plan as of the Effective Date, as if the Disputed Claims of such Non-exercising Creditors were Allowed Claims in their (a) Face Amount or (b) estimated amounts of such Disputed Claim as approved by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed to by the holder of such Claim and Debtors. Payments and distributions from the Distribution Reserve for Oversubscription Cash will be made as appropriate to (i) any Non-exercising Creditor holding a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and (ii) any Non-exercising Creditors holding Allowed Claims if any Disputed Claim is disallowed in whole or in part.
(iii)     Estimation Of Claims For Distribution Reserves
     To the extent that any Claims remain Disputed Claims as of the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors will seek an order from the Bankruptcy Court establishing the amounts to be withheld as part of the Distribution Reserves. Without limiting the foregoing, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim, including any such Claim arising from the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ rejection of an executory contract, pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors have previously objected to such Claim, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Disputed Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Disputed Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Disputed Claim, that estimated amount may, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court, constitute either (a) the Allowed amount of such Disputed Claim, (b) a maximum limitation on such Disputed Claim, or (c) in the event such
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-217


 

Disputed Claim is estimated in connection with the estimation of other Claims within the same Class, a maximum limitation on the aggregate amount of Allowed Claims on account of such Disputed Claims so estimated. If the estimate constitutes the maximum limitation on a Disputed Claim, or on more than one such Claim within a Class of Claims, as applicable, the Debtors may elect to pursue supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of any such Disputed Claim. All of the objection, estimation, settlement, and resolution procedures set forth in the Plan are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. Disputed Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
          (c) No Recourse To Debtors Or Reorganized Debtors
     Any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive its applicable distribution under the Plan solely from the Distribution Reserve established on account of such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest. In no event will any holder of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest have any recourse with respect to distributions made, or to be made, under the Plan to any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor on account of such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest, regardless of whether such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest will ultimately become an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as the case may be, or regardless of whether sufficient Cash, New Common Stock, New Warrants, or other property remains available for distribution in the Distribution Reserve established on account of such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest at the time such Claim or Interest becomes entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan.
          (d) Distributions After Allowance
     Payments and distributions from the Distribution Reserve to each respective holder of a Claim or Interest on account of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest, to the extent that it ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Interest, will be made in accordance with provisions of the Plan that govern distributions to such holder of a Claim or Interest. On the first Periodic Distribution Date following the date when a Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest becomes undisputed, noncontingent, and liquidated, the Disbursing Agent will distribute to the holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest any Cash, New Common Stock, New Warrants, or other property from the Distribution Reserve that would have been distributed on the dates when distributions were previously made had such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest been an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest on such dates. After a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court has been entered, or other final resolution has been reached with respect to all Disputed Claims and Disputed Interests, any remaining Cash in the Distribution Reserve will revert to the Reorganized Debtors and(i) any remaining New Common Stock in the Distribution Reserve will revert to the Reorganized Debtors and be held as treasury stock. Any , (ii) any Oversubscription Cash remaining in the Distribution Reserve will be distributed on a Pro Rata basis based on the Allowed Claims of Non-exercising Creditors, and (iii) any property held in thea distribution reserve established solely on account of Class 1G-1 will not revert to the Debtors and will be distributed to holders of Allowed Class 1G-1 Interests in accordance
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-218


 

with Article 5.6 of the Plan. Subject to the limitations in Article 9.2 of the Plan, all distributions made under Article IX of the Plan on account of an Allowed Claim will be made together with any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously made to holders of Allowed Claims included in the applicable class. The Disbursing Agent will be deemed to have voted any New Common Stock held in the Distribution Reserve in the same proportion as shares previously disbursed by the Disbursing Agent. The Servicers will be deemed to have voted any New Common Stock held by such Servicers in the same proportion as shares previously disbursed by such Servicers.
             (e) De Minimis Distributions
     Neither the Disbursing Agent nor any Servicer will have any obligation to make a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest from any Distribution Reserve or otherwise if (i) the aggregate amount of all distributions authorized to be made from such Distribution Reserve or otherwise on the Periodic Distribution Date in question is or has a value less than $250,000; provided that the Debtors will make a distribution on a Periodic Distribution Date of less than $250,000 if the Debtors expect that such Periodic Distribution Date will be the final Periodic Distribution Date, or (ii) the amount to be distributed to the specific holder of the Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest on the particular Periodic Distribution Date does not both (x) constitute a final distribution to such holder and (y) have a value less than $50.00.
          9. Section 510(b) Opt Out Claims

Any Section 510(b) Opt Out Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim will be entitled to receive its applicable distribution under the Plan solely from the applicable portion of the Securities Settlement. In no event will any holder of a Section 510(b) Opt Out Claim have any recourse with respect to distributions made, or to be made, under the Securities Settlement to holders of such Claims or Interests to any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor on account of such Section 510(b) Opt Out Claim, regardless of whether such Claim will ultimately become an Allowed Claim or regardless of whether sufficient Cash or New Common Stock remains available for distribution at the time such Claim is Allowed.

          5. Other Administrative Claims

such Claim, debt, right, or Interest is filed or deemed filed under section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) a Claim or Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right, or Interest is allowed under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) the holder of such a Claim, right, or Interest accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order will be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims against and Interests in the Debtors, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date.
          3. Compromises And Settlements
     In accordance with Article 9.6 of the Plan, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the Debtors may compromise and settle various (a) Claims against, or Interests in, them and (b) Causes of Action that they have against other Persons up to and including the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, such right will pass to the Reorganized Debtors as contemplated in Article 11.1 of the Plan, without the need for further approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bankruptcy Court approval will be required after the Effective Date if the Joint Claims Oversight Committee objects to a proposed settlement based on criteria established by the board of directors of Reorganized Delphi.
          4. Release By Debtors Of Certain Parties
     The releases provided in the Plan and described below discharge and release certain parties from claims arising from prepetition actions and claims (including claims held by third parties, such as creditors and shareholders) and limit the liability against certain parties for acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases unless such actions are the result of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The releases of each of the major constituencies in these cases, including the Debtors’ officers, directors, and employees, the Creditors’ Committee, the Equity Committee, the Plan Investors, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Unions, and GM, allow the parties to participate in the Debtors’ restructuring cases and protect individuals who have contributed to the restructuring process. The parties for whom releases are provided have participated in complex negotiations with an unprecedented scope. Moreover, the amounts contributed by each of these parties as part of settlements or other agreements are substantial. The contributions made by some parties amount to billions of dollars invested in Delphi’s reorganization. Further, these parties conditioned their settlements and agreements on receiving the releases contemplated by the Plan. Thus, because of the value provided to the Debtors’ estates as a result of these critical and necessary settlements and agreements, the Debtors believe it is appropriate to provide the releases described below.
     Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article 11.13 of the Plan, effective as of the Effective Date, each Debtor, in its individual capacity and as a debtor-in-possession for and on behalf of its respective Estate, will release and discharge and be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged all Released Parties for and from any and all claims or Causes of Action existing as of the Effective Date in any manner arising from, based on, or relating to, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual

arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Party, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter 11 Cases, or any act, omission, occurrence, or event in any manner related to any such Claims, Interests, restructuring, or the Chapter 11 Cases. The Reorganized Debtors and any newly-formed entities that will be continuing the Debtors’ businesses after the Effective Date will be bound, to the same extent the Debtors are bound, by the releases and discharges set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Plan will be deemed to release (i) any of the Debtors or GM from their obligations under the Delphi-GM Definitive Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any of the Debtors, the Unions, or GM from their obligations under the Union Settlement Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby, or (iii) any of the Debtors or the Plan Investors or their affiliates from their obligations under the Investment Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

          5. Release By Holders Of Claims And Interests
     On the Effective Date, (a) each Person who votes to accept the Plan and (b) to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, as such law may be extended or interpreted subsequent to the Effective Date, each entity (other than a Debtor), which has held, holds, or may hold a Claim against or Interest in the Debtors, in consideration for the obligations of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors under the Plan and the Cash, New Common Stock, New Warrants, and other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements, or documents to be delivered in connection with the Plan (each, a “Release Obligor”), will have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged all Released Parties for and from any claim or Cause of Action existing as of the Effective Date in any manner arising from, based on, or relating to, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transaction or event giving rise to, the claim of such Release Obligor, the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and Release Obligor or any Released Party, the restructuring of the claim prior to the Chapter 11 Cases, or any act, omission, occurrence, or event in any manner related to such subject matter, transaction, obligation, restructuring, or the Chapter 11 Cases,

          9. Setoffs
     Subject to Article 11.13 of the Plan, the Debtors may, but will not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors may have against such holder of such Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim will constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against such holder of such Claim.
          10. Subordination Rights
     All Claims against the Debtors and all rights and claims between or among holders of Claims relating in any manner whatsoever to distributions on account of Claims against or Interests in the Debtors, based upon any claimed subordination rights, whether asserted or unasserted, legal or equitable, will be deemed satisfied by the distributions under the Plan to holders of Claims having such subordination rights. Such subordination rights will

be deemed waived, released, discharged, and terminated as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that in resolution of the subordination rights of the holders of the claims in Class 1C, all Cash otherwise distributable to holders of TOPrS Claims pursuant to Article 5.3 of the Plan (the “TOPrS Cash”) will be distributed to holders of Claims in Class 1C (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence), and in the place and stead thereof the holders of TOPrS Claims will receive the number of shares of New Common Stock equal to the TOPrS Cash divided by $45 (the “TOPrS Stock”) such that the Allowed TOPrS Claims will be satisfied in full, including postpetition interest, solely through the issuance of New Common Stock (valued at $45.00 per share) to the holders of such Claims provided further, however, that in resolution of intercreditor issues between the Delphi-DAS Debtors and subsidiaries, the TOPrS Cash will be reallocated among all holders of General Unsecured Claims (but not among the holders of TOPrS Claims) on a Pro Rata basis, and the distribution of New Common Stock to holders of General Unsecured Claims will be reduced by such holders’ Pro Rata share of the TOPrS Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, TOPrS Cash does not include the Cash received by Appaloosa pursuant to Article 11.14 of the Plan. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, distributions to the various Classes of Claims hereunder will not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment, or like legal process by any holder of a Claim by reason of any subordination rights or otherwise, so that each holder of a Claim will have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan.
     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including any Plan Exhibits) or the Confirmation Order, the right of any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to seek subordination of any Claim or Interest pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, other than TOPrS Claims, is fully reserved, and the treatment afforded any Claim or Interest that becomes a subordinated Claim or Interest at any time will be modified to reflect such subordination.

Other than as provided for in this Article and in Article 11.13, no party or its agents, employees, representatives, member current or former members, financial advisors, attorneys, or affiliates, and no successors or assigns of the foregoing, will have any right of action against the parties listed in this Article for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, negotiation, dissemination, filing, implementation, administration, confirmation or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Union Settlement Agreements, any employee benefit plan, instrument, release or other agreement or document created, modified, amended or entered into in connection with either the Plan or any agreement with the Unions, including but not limited to the Union Settlement Agreements, or any other act taken or not taken consistent with the Union Settlement Agreements in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. For the avoidance of doubt, the exculpatory provisions of this Article, which apply to postpetition conduct, are not intended, nor will they be construed, to bar any governmental unit from pursuing any police or regulatory action. Moreover, nothing in the Plan will be deemed to release (i) any of the Debtors or GM from their obligations under the Delphi-GM Definitive Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any of the Debtors, the Unions, or GM from their obligations under the Union Settlement Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby, or (iii) any of the Debtors or the Plan Investors or their affiliates from their obligations under the Investment Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for any of the Debtors from their obligations under the Plan or the transactions contemplated thereby.

The term “Indemnitee” means all current and former directors, officers, employees, agents, or representatives of the Debtors who are entitled to assert Indemnification Rights. The term “Indemnification Rights” means obligations of the Debtors, if any, to indemnify, reimburse, advance, or contribute to the losses, liabilities, or expenses of an Indemnitee pursuant to the Debtor’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, policy of providing employee indemnification, applicable law, or specific agreement in respect of any claims, demands, suits, causes of action, or proceedings against an Indemnitee based upon any act or omission related to an Indemnitee’s service with, for, or on behalf of the Debtors.

          14. Injunction
     Subject to Article 11.13 of the Plan, the satisfaction, release, and discharge pursuant to Article XI of the Plan will act as an injunction against any Person commencing or continuing any action, employment of process, or act to collect, offset, or recover any Claim, Interest, or Cause of Action satisfied, released, or discharged under the Plan to the fullest extent authorized or provided by the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, to the extent provided for or authorized by sections 524 and 1141 thereof.

Within each group, the Cash generated from the Par Value Rights Offering allocable to a group as a whole pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall increase the amount of Cash andwill decrease the amount of New Common Stock otherwise distributable to the holders of Claims within each group on a Pro Rata basis based upon the Allowed Amount of each holder’s Claims within a group. Appaloosa (in its capacity as a stockholder of Delphi) has agreed not to participate in the Par Value Rights Offering and has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such agreement from the other Plan Investors.
X. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RISK FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED
     Every holder of a Claim against or Interest in a Debtor should read and carefully consider the following factors, as well as the other information set forth in this Disclosure Statement (and the documents delivered together herewith and/or incorporated by reference herein) before deciding whether to vote to accept or to reject the Plan.

to the date that this Disclosure Statement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court may affect the actual financial results of the Debtors’ operations.
     Critical assumptions underlyingunderlie the Debtors’ business planBusiness Plan. Events that willmay have a significant impact on the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to achieve projections, and that correspondingly have a material impact on value, include:
    Capital Markets risk – availability and cost of funds (debt/equity);
 
    Pension Asset Returns below assumed rates of return resulting in additional future cash contributions to the Company’s pension plans;
 
    Industry OEOEM volumes significantly below GI/DRI projections and GMNA volumes below projections in the Business Plan;
 
    Significant reductions in revenue if not able to “book” the “unbooked” revenue assumed in the plan;
 
    Customer/Supplier disruptions (e.g., labor strife, financial difficulties);
 
    Unknown significant product (warranty), environmental or legal liability risk;
 
    Material commodity costs above projections;
 
    Inability to achieve material cost reduction initiatives, including supplier price reductions and engineering initiatives;
 
    Significant failure to execute restructuring initiatives on a timely basis or at estimated costs – e.g., Europe restructuring programs;
 
    Significant customer pricing reductions through marketplace pressures beyond those anticipated in the plan;
 
    Change in tax environment from that anticipated in the plan (legislative or execution of tax strategies to minimize cash taxes);
 
    Health care inflation significantly beyond that estimated employee benefit costs and salaried retirement health care;
 
    Cash flow constraints from working capital if unsuccessful in supplier initiative to return to pre-bankruptcy payment terms; and
 
    Working capital liquidity pressures if customers are not timely in payments for accounts receivable.
     In addition, Delphi has projected GMNA production volumes higher than GI/DRI in years 2009-2011 of the Business Plan based on Delphi’s expectations of overall market growth and GM’s ability to maintain market share so as to benefit from such overall market

growth. If industry forecasts regarding the overall market or Delphi’s expectations regarding GM’s ability to retain market share and benefit from overall market growth is incorrect and Delphi is not able to reduce costs despite a more flexible cost structure resulting from Delphi’s transformation, then there could be a material adverse impact to the Business Plan. Moreover, if volume assumptions are correct but the actual mix of anticipated products differs from Business Plan assumptions, there could be a material impact on the projections.
     The foregoing variations and assumptions may be material and may adversely affect the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to make payments with respect to post-Effective Date indebtedness and to achieve the Projections. Because the actual results achieved throughout the periods covered by the Projections can be expected to vary from the projected results, the Projections should not be relied upon as a guaranty, representation, or other assurance that the actual results will occur.
     Except with respect to the Projections and except as otherwise specifically and expressly stated herein, this Disclosure Statement does not reflect any events that may occur subsequent to the date hereof and that may have a material impact on the information contained in this Disclosure Statement. Neither the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtors intend to update the Projections for the purposes hereof; thus, the Projections will not reflect the impact of any subsequent events not already accounted for in the assumptions underlying the Projections.
     E. Sources And Uses Of Cash For Plan Distributions
     The Debtors’ ability to fund Cash distributions under the Plan, and therefore consummate the Plan in its present form, is dependent, in part, upon the Debtors’ ability to obtain the Exit Financing Facility.Arrangements. Recent conditions in the credit markets beyond the Debtors’ control have substantially decreased the amount of credit available to potential borrowers and have increased the cost of such credit. If such conditions continue, the Debtors’ ability to obtain a commitment for the Exit Financing FacilityArrangements on acceptable terms may be limited. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the Debtors will obtain an Exit Financing FacilityArrangements as contemplated by the Plan. If the Debtors are unable to obtain such Exit Financing FacilityArrangements, the Debtors may be unable to consummate the Plan without substantial modifications.
     F. Access To Financing And Trade Terms
     The Debtors’ operations are dependent on the availability and cost of working capital financing and trade terms provided by suppliers and may be adversely affected by any shortage or increased cost of such financing and supplier support. The Debtors’ postpetition operations have been financed from operating cash flow and borrowings pursuant to the DIP Facility. The Debtors believe that substantially all of their needs for funds necessary to consummate the Plan and for post-Effective Date working capital financing will be met by projected operating cash flow, financings contemplated by the Exit Financing FacilityArrangements, the EPCA, the Rights Offerings, and trade terms supplied by suppliers. If the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors have greater working capital

needs, they may be required to either (a) obtain other sources of financing or (b) curtail their operations.
     In addition, GM is one of the largest creditors and a significant stakeholder in these Chapter 11 Cases, and Delphi’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Union Settlement Agreements, the Investment Agreement, and the Plan depends not only on GM’s ability to meet its obligations under the Delphi-GM Definitive Documents, but also on GM’s ability to fulfill certain financial obligations to Delphi’s Union-represented employees and retirees comprehended in the Union Settlement Agreements. GM has reported a variety of challenges it is facing, including with respect to its debt ratings, its relationships with its unions and large shareholders and its cost and pricing structures. If GM is unable or unwilling to fulfill these commitments, Delphi believes that the Company’s cost structure and ability to operate will be adversely affected.
     G. Claims Estimations
     The Plan requires as a condition to consummation that the aggregate sum of certain Claims be allowed or estimated for distribution purposes in an amount that is less than or equal to the Unsecured Claims Threshold. The Plan requires as a condition to consummation that all conditions to the effectiveness of the Investment Agreement must have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the Investment Agreement. The Investment Agreement contains as a similar condition. The ultimate allowance to consummation that the aggregate amount of all Trade and estimation of Claims is subject to certain risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurances Other Unsecured Claims that the Debtors will be ablehave been asserted or scheduled but not yet disallowed shall be allowed or estimated for distribution purposes by the Bankruptcy Court to satisfy such conditionsbe no more than $1.45 billion, excluding all allowed accrued postpetition
     In addition, the Debtors intend to estimate for distribution purposes Disputed Claims with an unliquidated component. The actual amount at which such Claims are ultimately allowed may differ in some respect from the estimates. Holders of Disputed Claims are entitled to receive distributions under the Plan upon allowance of such Claims solely from the Disputed ClaimsDistribution Reserve established on account of such Claim. If a Disputed Claim is ultimately allowed in an amount that exceeds, and at the time of such allowance, the value of the Cash,insufficient New Common Stock or other property New Warrants are available for distribution from the Disputed ClaimsDistribution Reserve, the distributions on account of such Allowed Claim will be limited to such available amounts and the holder of such Allowed Claim will have no recourse against any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor for any deficiency that may arise.
     H. Value Of, And Market For, New Common Stock
     If Rights holders do not exercise all of their rights in the Discount Rights Offering and a small number of Rights holders exercise their oversubscription rights and/or the Plan Investors purchase all or a portion of their backstop commitments, the public float of the New Common Stock will be significantly reduced. Similarly, if less than all of the Par Value Rights are exercised in the Par Value Rights Offering, the shares of New Common

Stock offered in the Par Value Rights Offering that are not purchased pursuant to the exercise of rights will be issued to holders of General Unsecured Claims in partial satisfaction of their claims, and the public float of the New Common Stock may be further reduced to the extent that these creditors’ shares are excluded from the calculation of the public floatIn addition, the assumed Plan value of the New Common Stock distributed under the Plan may change based on the ultimate amount of Allowed Claims. Finally, the market value of the New Common Stock may increase or decrease from the Plan value of the New Common Stock after the Effective Date based on numerous factors, including fluctuations in the market and conditions extraneous to Delphi as well as other risk factors disclosed herein.
     Following Delphi’s delisting from the NYSE, price quotations for its common stock have been available on the Pink Sheets. Delisting from the NYSE resulted in a reduction in the liquidity of Delphi’s existing common stock. The Company intends to apply to list the New Common Stock with a major New York-based exchange after the Effective Date of the Plan if and when the Company meets the listing requirements. It is unlikely, however, that the shares of the New Common Stock will qualify for listing at the time they are issued on the Effective Date of the Plan, and Delphi cannot guarantee that the New Common Stock will ever be listed or quoted on any securities exchange or quotation system. If Delphi is not able to list or quote the New Common Stock on any securities exchange or quotation system, the Company intends to cooperate with any registered broker-dealer who may seek to initiate price quotations for the New Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board.
     Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board is dependent on a broker-dealer being willing to make a market in the New Common Stock, which Delphi cannot predict will be initiated or, if initiated, will continue. No assurance can be given that the New Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or that an active trading market will exist. The nature of OTC Bulletin Board trading may limit a holder’s ability to resell its shares of the New Common Stock if an active trading market for the New Common Stock does not emerge. Even if an active market does develop for the New Common Stock, Delphi can give no assurance as to how long it will continue, the liquidity of the market, or at what price the New Common Stock will trade. Lack of liquidity of the New Common Stock also may make it more difficult for Delphi to raise additional capital, if necessary, through equity financings.
     I. Potential Dilution Caused By Options Or Warrants
     As stated above, the The Management Compensation Plan may reserve for certain members of management, directors, and other employees of Reorganized Delphi a total of [x] shares or [y]% of the shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi, including options or warrants to acquire such Stock upon terms outlined in the Management Compensation Plan. In addition, the New Warrants will be issued to holders of Existing Common Stock to purchase additional shares of New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi. If the New Warrants are exercised or other equity interests are distributed to management as discussed above will dilute, the ownership percentage represented by the

New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi distributed on the Effective Date under the Plan will be diluted.
  J.   Potential Dilution Caused By Distribution Of New Common Stock With Respect To Trade And Other Unsecured Claims In Excess Of $1.45 Billion
     The Investment Agreement contains as a condition to consummation that the aggregate amount of all Trade and Other Unsecured Claims that have been asserted or scheduled but not yet disallowed shall be allowed or estimated for distribution purposes by the Bankruptcy Court to be no more than $1.45 billion, excluding all allowed accrued postpetition interest thereon. In the event that ADAH waives such a condition, and Reorganized Delphi issues any shares of New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan with respect to any Trade and Other Unsecured Claim in excess of $1.45 billion (the “Excess Shares”), the Investment Agreement provides that Reorganized Delphi shall issue to the Plan Investors additional New Common Stock without payment of any additional consideration therefore, in such amount in the aggregate that is sufficient to ensure that the percentage of shares of outstanding New Common Stock that such Plan Investors would have owned on the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement had such Excess Shares not been issued (assuming for this purpose that all Excess Shares are issued on that closing date) is maintained. In that event, the ownership percentage represented by the New Common Stock of Reorganized Delphi distributed pursuant to the Plan will be diluted. In addition, the Investment Agreement provides that the issuance of such additional New common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock.
     J.K. Potential Ownership Change
     Because the Plan Investors will hold a significant equity position in the Reorganized Debtors following the consummation of the plan, if the Plan Investors dispose of all or a significant amount of this position after the Effective Date, it could cause the Reorganized Debtors to undergo an ownership change (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 382). This would generally limit (or possibly eliminate) the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to use net operating losses and other tax attributes.
     K.L. Tax Planning
     Due to time and resource constraints resulting from the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have used and may continue to use certain estimating techniques in connection with their tax planning efforts (for example, in determining the existence and magnitude of built-in gains or losses). The use of such estimating techniques, while cost-effective, necessarily results in lower confidence levels with respect to certain of the tax analyses.
     L.M. Dividends
     The Debtors do not anticipate that cash dividends or other distributions will be paid with respect to the New Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

XI. SECURITIES LAW MATTERS
     A. Issuance Of New Securities
     Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and state securities laws if three principal requirements are satisfied: (i) the securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must be securities of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a successor to the debtor under the plan; (ii) the recipients of the securities must hold prepetition or administrative expense claims against the debtor or interests in the debtor; and (iii) the securities must be issued entirely in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor, or principally in exchange for such claims or interests and partly for cash or property. Except as noted below, the Debtors believe that the offer and sale of (i) New Common Stock to the holders of General Unsecured Claims, (ii) New Common Stock to the holders of Existing Common StockSection 510(b) Note Claims, Section 510(b) Equity Claims, and (iii) New Warrants to the holders of Existing Common StockSection 510(b) ERISA Claims satisfy the requirements of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and are, therefore, exempt from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws. The Debtors believe that the offer and sale of New Common Stock in Reorganized Delphi underlying the New Warrants satisfies the requirements of section of 1145(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws.
     Delphi plans to file an amendment to its previously filed registration statement on Form S-1 to update that registration statement for the Rights Offerings and the New Warrants. The registration statement, as so amended, is expected to cover the subscription rights for the Discount Rights Offering and the Par Value Rights Offering, andOfferings, the underlying New Common Stock in Reorganized Delphi offered in the Rights Offerings, the New Warrants, and the New Common Stock in Reorganized Delphi underlying the New Warrants. This Disclosure Statement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the Rights Offerings. Any such offer or sale will be made solely by means of a prospectus relating to the Rights Offerings Offering which will be provided at such time as the Rights Offerings commence.
     B. Subsequent Transfers Of New Common Stock And New Warrants
     The New Common Stock and New Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Plan may be freely transferred by most recipients following the initial issuance under the Plan, and all resales and subsequent transfers of the New Common Stock and New Warrants (including the underlying New Common Stock) are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws, unless the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such securities. Section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code defines four types of “underwriters”:
          (i) persons who purchase a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense against the debtor with a view to distributing any security received in exchange for such claim or interest;
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-246


 

          (ii) persons who offer to sell securities offered under a plan for the holders of such securities;
          (iii) persons who offer to buy such securities from the holders of such securities, if the offer to buy is:
               (A) with a view to distributing such securities; and
               (B) under an agreement made in connection with the plan, the consummation of the plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan; or
          (iv) a person who is an “issuer” with respect to the securities as the term “issuer” is defined in section 2(11) of the Securities Act.
     Under section 2(11) of the Securities Act, an “issuer” includes any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by the issuer, or any person under direct or indirect common control of the issuer.
     To the extent that persons who receive New Common Stock or New Warrants pursuant to the Plan are deemed to be “underwriters,” resales by such persons would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Persons deemed to be underwriters may, however, be permitted to sell such New Common Stock or New Warrants without registration pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These rules permit the public sale of securities received by “underwriters” if current information regarding the issuer is publicly available and if volume limitations and certain other conditions are met.
     Whether or not any particular person would be deemed to be an “underwriter” with respect to the New Common Stock or New Warrants or other security to be issued pursuant to the Plan would depend upon various facts and circumstances applicable to that person. Accordingly, the Debtors express no view as to whether any particular person receiving New Common Stock or New Warrants or other securities under the Plan would be an “underwriter” with respect to such New Common Stock or New Warrants or other securities.
     BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEX, SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A PARTICULAR PERSON MAY BE AN UNDERWRITER, NONE OF THE DEBTORS OR THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF ANY PERSON TO DISPOSE OF THE SECURITIES TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNDER THE PLAN. The Debtors recommend that potential recipients of the New Common Stock or New Warrants consult their own counsel concerning whether they may freely trade New Common Stock or New Warrants.

written to be used, and cannot be used, by holders of Claims or Interests for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on them under the IRC, (ii) such discussion is written in connection with the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters discussed herein, and (iii) holders of Claims or Interests should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
     A. United States Federal Income Tax Consequences To The Debtors
          1. Cancellation Of Indebtedness Income
     The exchange of certain debt securities for New Common Stock and/or cash Rights may result in the cancellation of a portion of the Debtors’ outstanding indebtedness. In general, the discharge of a debt obligation in exchange for an amount of cash and other property having a fair market value (or, in the case of a new debt instrument, an “issue price”) less than the “adjusted issue price” of the debt that is discharged gives rise to cancellation of indebtedness (“COD”) income to the debtor. However, COD income is not taxable to the debtor if the debt discharge occurs in a Title 11 bankruptcy case. Rather, under the IRC, such COD income instead will reduce certain of the Debtors’ tax attributes, generally in the following order: (a) net operating losses and NOL carryforwards (“NOLs”); (b) general business credit carryforwards; (c) minimum tax credit carryforwards; (d) capital loss carryforwards; (e) the tax basis of the Debtors’ depreciable and nondepreciable assets (but not below the amount of its liabilities immediately after the discharge); (f) passive activity loss and credit carryforwards; and (g) foreign tax credit carryforwards. A debtor may elect to alter the preceding order of attribute reduction and, instead, first reduce the tax basis of its depreciable assets (and, possibly, the depreciable assets of its subsidiaries). The reduction in tax attributes occurs only after the tax for the year of the debt discharge has been determined (i.e., such attributes may be available to offset taxable income that accrues between the date of discharge and the end of the Debtors’ taxable year). Any excess COD income over the amount of available tax attributes is not subject to United States federal income tax and has no other United States federal income tax impact.
     Because some of the Debtors’ outstanding indebtedness will be satisfied in exchange for New Common Stock and Rights, the amount of COD income, and accordingly the amount of tax attributes required to be reduced, will depend in part on the fair market value of the New Common Stock. and Rights. This value cannot be known with certainty until after the Effective Date.
          2. Net Operating Losses-Section 382
     The Debtors anticipate that they will experience an “ownership change” (within the meaning of IRC section 382) on the Effective Date as a result of the issuance of New Common Stock, Rights, and New Warrants, and other interests to holders of Claims and Interests and the Plan Investors pursuant to the Plan. As a result, the Debtors’ ability to use any pre-Effective Date NOLs and other tax attributes to offset their income in any post-Effective Date taxable year (and in the portion of the taxable year of the ownership change following the Effective Date) to which such a carryforward is made generally (subject to various exceptions and adjustments, some of which are described below) will be
Notice of Proposed Amendments
October 29, 2007

DS-248


 

limited to the sum of (a) a regular annual limitation (prorated for the portion of the taxable year of the ownership change following the Effective Date), and (b) any carryforward of unused amounts described in (a) from prior years. IRC section 382 may also limit the Debtors’ ability to use “net unrealized built-in losses” (i.e., losses and deductions that have economically accrued but are unrecognized as of the date of the ownership change) to offset future taxable income. Moreover, the Debtors’ loss carryforwards will be subject to further limitations if the Debtors experience additional future ownership changes or if they do not continue their business enterprise for at least two years following the Effective Date.
     The operation and effect of IRC section 382 will be materially different from that just described if the Debtors are subject to the special rules for corporations in bankruptcy provided in IRC section 382(l)(5). In that case, the Debtors’ ability to utilize their pre-Effective Date NOLs would not be limited as described in the preceding paragraph. However, several other limitations would apply to the Debtors under IRC section 382(l)(5), including (a) the Debtors’ NOLs would be calculated without taking into account deductions for interest paid or accrued in the portion of the current tax year ending on the Effective Date and all other tax years ending during the three-year period prior to the current tax year with respect to the Claims that are exchanged for New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, and (b) if the Debtors undergo another ownership change within two years after the Effective Date, the Debtors’ IRC section 382 limitation with respect to that ownership change will be zero. Even if IRC section 382(l)(5) is available, it is uncertain whether the provisions of IRC section 382(l)(5) would be available in the case of the ownership change that is expected to occur as a result of the confirmation of the Plan. The Debtors have not yet determined whether they would seek to have the IRC section 382(l)(5) rules apply to the ownership change arising from the consummation of the Plan (assuming IRC section 382(l)(5) would otherwise apply).
     If the Debtors do not qualify for, or elect not to apply, the special rule under IRC section 382(l)(5) for corporations in bankruptcy described above, a different rule under IRC section 382 applicable to corporations under the jurisdiction of a bankruptcy court will apply in calculating the annual IRC section 382 limitation. Under this rule, the limitation will be calculated by reference to the lesser of the value of their respective new stocks (with certain adjustments) immediately after the ownership change or the value of such company’s assets (determined without regard to liabilities) immediately before the ownership change. Although such calculation may substantially increase the annual IRC section 382 limitation, the Debtors’ use of any NOLs or other tax attributes remaining after implementation of the Plan may still be substantially limited after an ownership change.
     Because the Plan Investors will hold a significant equity position in the Reorganized Debtors following the consummation of the Plan, if the Plan Investors dispose of all or a significant amount of this position after the Effective Date, it could cause the Reorganized Debtors to undergo an ownership change. This would generally limit (or possibly eliminate) the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to use NOLs and other tax attributes.

  B.   United States Federal Income Tax Consequences To Holders Of Claims Against And Interests In The Debtors
     The following discusses certain United States federal income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Plan to holders of Claims or Interests that are “United States holders” as defined below. The United States federal income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Plan to holders of Claims or Interests (including the character, timing and amount of income, gain or loss recognized) will depend upon, among other things, (1) whether the Claim or Interest and the consideration received in respect thereof are “securities” for United States federal income tax purposes; (2) the manner in which a holder acquired a Claim or Interest; (3) the length of time the Claim or Interest has been held; (4) whether the Claim or Interest was acquired at a discount; (5) whether the holder has taken a bad debt deduction or worthless stock deduction with respect to the Claim or Interest (or any portion thereof) in the current or prior years; (6) whether the holder has previously included in its taxable income accrued but unpaid interest with respect to the Claim or Interest; (7) the holder’s method of tax accounting; and (8) whether the Claim or Interest is an installment obligation for United States federal income tax purposes. Therefore, holders of Claims or Interests should consult their own tax advisors for information that may be relevant based on their particular situations and circumstances regarding the particular tax consequences to them of the transactions contemplated by the Plan. This discussion assumes that the holder has not taken a bad debt deduction with respect to a Claim or Interest (or any portion thereof) in the current or any prior year and such Claim or Interest did not become completely or partially worthless in a prior taxable year. Moreover, the Debtors intend to claim deductions to the extent they are permitted to deduct any amounts they pay in cash, stock or other property pursuant to the Plan.
     For purposes of the following discussion, a “United States holder” is a holder of Claims or Interests that is (1) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (2) a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (4) a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and properly elected to be treated as a United States person.
  1.   Holders Of General Unsecured Claims Other Than Subordinated Note Claims
     Except with respect to holders of Subordinated Note Claims described in Section XII.B.2 - Holders Of Subordinated Note Claims below, pursuantPursuant to the Plan, the Debtors will issue New Common Stock and cashDiscount Rights to holders of General Unsecured Claims to discharge such Claims. The United States federal income tax consequences arising from the Plan to such holders of General Unsecured Claims will vary depending upon, among other things, whether such Claims constitute “securities” for United States federal income tax purposes. The determination of whether a debt instrument constitutes a “security” depends upon an evaluation of the nature of the debt

instrument, but most authorities have held that the length of the term of a debt instrument is an important factor in determining whether such instrument is a security for United States federal income tax purposes. Generally, corporate debt instruments with maturities when issued of less than five years are not considered securities, and corporate debt instruments with maturities when issued of ten years or more are considered securities. Each holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the status of its Claim.
     If such Claims constitute “securities” for United States federal income tax purposes, the exchange of such Claims for New Common Stock and cashDiscount Rights should constitute a “recapitalization” for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, except as discussed below with respect to Claims for accrued interest and accrued market discount, a holder of such Claims should not recognize gain, but not or loss, with respect to each Claim surrendered in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount of gain realized (i.e., the excess of the cash on the exchange of its General Unsecured Claims for New Common Stock and fair market value of any other property received by such holder in respect of its Claim over the adjusted tax basis of such Claim), excluding any such cash or property received in respect of a Claim for accrued interest that had not been included in income, and (2) the amount of cash received by such holder in respect of its Claim (other than with respect to any Claim for accrued interest). Any such gain recognized will generally be treated as capital gain if the Claim is a capital asset in the hands of the holder. In addition, a holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock (other than the New Common Stock received for accrued interest) should be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Claims exchanged therefore (exclusive of any basis in such Claim attributable to accrued interest), decreased by the amount of cash received, and increased by any gain recognized, and such holder’s holding period for the New Common Stock (other than New Common Stock received for accrued interest) will include the holding period of the Claims exchanged therefor, provided that such Claims are held as capital assets on the Effective Date. Discount Rights (other than with respect to any Claim for accrued interest). A holder’s adjusted tax basis in a General Unsecured Claim should be allocated among the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received with respect to such Claim based upon the relative fair market values thereof (other than New Common Stock and Discount Rights received for accrued interest). The holding period for the New Common Stock and Discount Rights will include the holder’s holding period for the General Unsecured Claims.
     Under the Plan, a portion of the New Common Stock and cashDiscount Rights distributed to holders of General Unsecured Claims may be treated as distributed with respect to their Claims for accrued interest. Holders of Claims for accrued interest which previously have not included such accrued interest in taxable income will be required to recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash and New Common Stock and Discount Rights received with respect to such Claims for accrued interest. The extent to which consideration distributable under the Plan is allocable to accrued interest is not clear. Holders of such Claims are advised to consult their own tax advisors to determine the amount, if any, of consideration received under the Plan that is allocable to accrued interest.

     The market discount provisions of the IRC may apply to holders of General Unsecured Claims. In general, a debt obligation other than a debt obligation with a fixed maturity of one year or less that is acquired by a holder in the secondary market (or, in certain circumstances, upon original issuance) is a “market discount bond” as to that holder if its stated redemption price at maturity (or, in the case of a debt obligation having original issue discount, the revised issue price) exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the bond in the holder’s hands immediately after its acquisition. However, a debt obligation will not be a “market discount bond” if such excess is less than a statutory de minimis amount. Any accrued but unrecognized market discount with respect to such Claims generally will be treated as ordinary interest income to the extent of the gain recognized in connection with the recapitalization described above, unless the holder elected to include accrued market discount in taxable income currently. Any remaining accrued but unrecognized market discount generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the gain recognized upon the subsequent disposition of New Common Stock received in exchange for the Claim. TheA U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize any accrued but unrecognized market discount upon the disposition of its General Unsecured Claims for New Common Stock and Discount Rights pursuant to the Plan, although it may be required to recognize any accrued but unrecognized market discount upon a subsequent taxable disposition of its New Common Stock and Discount Rights (including any New Common Stock received upon exercise of a Discount Right). Although not free from doubt, the Company believes that a U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize any accrued but unrecognized market discount upon the exercise of a Discount Right received in exchange for its General Unsecured Claims. However, the treatment of accrued market discount in a nonrecognition transaction is, however, subject to the issuance of Treasury Regulationsregulations that have not yet been promulgated. In the absence of such regulations, the application of the market discount rules in the present transaction to the exercise of a Discount Right received in exchange for a General Unsecured Claim is uncertain. A If a holder of a market discount bondClaim that is was required under the market discount rules of the IRC to defer its deduction of all or a portion of the interest on indebtedness, if any, incurred or maintained to acquire or carry the bond may be allowed to deduct such interest, in whole or in part, on disposition of such bond for cash. HoweverClaim, continued deferral of the deduction for interest on such indebtedness may be required to the extent attributable to the New Common Stock. Any such deferred interest expense would be attributed to the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received in exchange for the Claim, and would be treated as interest paid or accrued in the year in which the New Common Stock is and Discount Rights are disposed.
     If such General Unsecured Claims do not constitute “securities” for United States federal income tax purposes, the exchange of such Claims for New Common Stock and cashDiscount Rights should constitute a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, a holder of Claims would generally recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the cash and the fair market value on the Effective Date of the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received in exchange for its Claim, and (2) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Claim. The character of such gain or loss as capital gain or loss or as ordinary income or loss will be determined by a number of factors, including the tax status of the holder, the nature of the Claim in such holder’s hands, whether the Claim constitutes

a capital asset in the hands of the holder, whether the Claim was purchased at a discount, and whether and to what extent the holder has previously claimed a bad debt deduction with respect to its Claim. Any such gain recognized would generally be treated as ordinary income to the extent that the cash and New Common StockStock and Discount Rights are received in respect of accrued but unpaid interest or accrued market discount that, in either case, have not been previously taken into account under the holder’s method of accounting as discussed above in this Section XII.B.1XII.B.1 — Holders Of General Unsecured Claims Other Than Subordinated Note Claims. A holder of Claims recognizing a loss as a result of the Plan may be entitled to a bad debt deduction, either in the taxable year of the Effective Date or a prior taxable year. A holder’s aggregate tax basis in the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received in exchange for its Claims would generally be equal to the aggregate fair market value of such stockNew Common Stock and Discount Rights on the Effective Date. The holding period for the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received pursuant to the Plan would begin on the day after the Effective Date.
          2. Holders Of Subordinated Note Claims
     Delphi believes that the Subordinated Note Claims constitute securities for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the exchange of Subordinated Note Claims for New Common Stock and Discount Rights should constitute a “recapitalization” for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, except as discussed below with respect to Claims for accrued interest and accrued market discount, a holder of such Claims should not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of its Subordinated Note Claims for New Common Stock and Discount Rights (other than with respect to any Claim for accrued interest). In addition, a holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in a Subordinated Note Claim should be allocated among the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received with respect to such Claim based upon the relative fair market values thereof (other than the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received for accrued interest) should be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Claims exchanged therefore (exclusive of any basis in such Claim attributable to accrued interest), and such holder’s holding period for the New Common Stock and Discount Rights (other than New Common Stock and Discount Rights received for accrued interest) will include the holding period of the Claims exchanged therefor, provided that such Claims are held as capital assets on the Effective Date.
     In addition, as is discussed in Section XII.B.1 XII.B.1 — Holders Of General Unsecured Claims Other Than Subordinated Note Claims above, holders of Subordinated Note Claims will recognize ordinary income to the extent that the consideration they receive in discharge of their Claims is treated as received in satisfaction of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such Claims. Moreover, under the market discount rules discussed in Section XII.B.1XII.B.1 — Holders Of General Unsecured Claims Other Than Subordinated Note Claims above, any accrued but unrecognized market discount generally will a U.S. Holder should not be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the gain recognized upon the subsequent required to recognize any accrued but unrecognized market discount upon the disposition of its Subordinated Note Claims for New Common Stock and Discount Rights pursuant to the Plan, although it may be required to recognize any accrued but unrecognized market discount upon a subsequent taxable disposition of its

New Common Stock and Discount Rights (including any New Common Stock received upon exercise of a Discount Right). Although not free from doubt, the Company believes that a U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize any accrued but unrecognized market discount upon the exercise of a Discount Right received in exchange for its Subordinated Note Claims. However, the Claim. The treatment of accrued market discount in a nonrecognition transaction is, however, subject to the issuance of Treasury regulations that have not yet been promulgated. In the absence of such regulations, the application of the market discount rules in the present transaction to the exercise of a Discount Right received in exchange for a Subordinated Note Claim is uncertain. If a holder of a Claim that was required under the market discount rules of the IRC to defer its deduction of all or a portion of the interest on indebtedness, if any, incurred or maintained to acquire or carry the Claim, continued deferral of the deduction for interest on such indebtedness may be required. Any such deferred interest expense would be attributed to the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received in exchange for the Claim, and would be treated as interest paid or accrued in the year in which the New Common Stock isand Discount Rights are disposed.
          3. Existing Common Stockholders
               (a) Certain Consequences To Holders Of Existing Common Stock
     A holder of Delphi’s Existing Common Stock that receives New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan generally will not recognize income,capital gain, deduction, or loss (subject to the wash sale rules discussed below) on the receipt of New Common Stock,Par Value Rights, and New Warrants, and, except where noted, in the remainder of this discussion assumes that the receipt of New Common Stock,Par Value Rights, Offerings and any New Warrants issued in the Plan in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Par Value Rights and New Warrants by a holder is not taxable. A holder, if any, received and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in itsthe Existing Common Stock should be allocated among the New Common Stock,exchanged for such Par Value Rights, and New Warrants based upon the relative fair market values thereof. The. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the NewExisting Common Stock, exchanged for the Par Value Rights, and New Warrants will include the holder’s holding period for the Existing Common Stock.
     A holder that does not receive New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan (for example, due to the fact that payments of fractions of shares of New Common Stock will not be made to holders of Existing Common Stock) generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the receipt of Rights in the Rights Offerings and any New Warrants issued in the Plan in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Rights and New Warrants, if any, received and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Existing Common Stock exchanged for such Rights and New Warrants. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the Existing Common Stock exchanged for the Rights and New Warrants, if any, exceeds one year at the time the Par Value Rights and New Warrants are distributed. Capital gains of non-corporate holders may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding such

limitations. The holder’s tax basis in thethe Par Value Rights and New Warrants, if any, will be equal to the fair market value of the Par Value Rights and New Warrants at the time the Par Value Rights and New Warrants are received. The holding period for the Par Value Rights and New Warrants, if any, will commence on the day after the date of receipt.
     To the extent a loss would otherwise be recognizable on the exchange, such loss may be deferred under the “wash sale” rules of the Code. The wash sale rules provide for the disallowance of a loss on the sale or other disposition of shares of stock or securities where it appears that, within a period beginning 30 days before the date of such sale or disposition and ending 30 days after such date, the holder acquired, or has entered into a contract or option to acquire, “substantially identical” stock or securities. If the Existing Common Stock and the New Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Par Value Rights and New Warrants are considered substantially identical and the exchange of Existing Common Stock for Par Value Rights and New Warrants results in a loss to the holder, such loss may be disallowed and added to the tax basis of the Par Value Rights and New Warrants received. The extent to which such loss would be disallowed is unclear. Holders of Existing Common Stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding how the “wash sale” rules apply to them in light of their particular circumstances.
               (b) Exercise Of Par Value Rights And New Warrants
          A holder will not recognize gain or loss on the exercise of a Par Value Right or a New Warrant. The holder’s tax basis in New Common Stock received as a result of the exercise of the Par Value Right or New Warrant (the “Additional New Common Stock”) will equal the sum of the exercise price paid for the Additional New Common Stock and the holder’s tax basis in the Par Value Right or New Warrant determined as described in Section XII.B.3(a) XII.B.3(a) – Certain Consequences To Holders Of Existing Common Stock above.. The holding period for the Additional New Common Stock received as a result of the exercise of the Par Value Right or New Warrant will begin on the exercise date.
      A holder that exercises Par Value Rights or New Warrants should be aware that, to the extent the wash sale rules did not apply to an exchange of Existing Common Stock for Par Value Rights and New Warrants as described in Section XII.B.3(a) – Certain Consequences to Holders of Existing Common Stock above, the exercise of such Par Value Rights or New Warrants could result in any loss that might otherwise be recognized by such holder upon receipt of Par Value Rights or New Warrants or with respect to a holder’s Existing Common Stock to bebeing disallowed under the “-wash sale-” rules if such exercise occurs within 30 days of the receipt of the Par Value Rights or New Warrants. If the “-wash sale-” rules apply to a holder’s loss upon receipt of Par Value Rights or New Warrants or with respect to its Existing Common Stock, the holder’s tax basis in any Additional New Common Stock received as a result of the exercise of the Par Value Rights or New Warrants would be increased to reflect the amount of the disallowed loss. Holders of Existing Common Stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding how the wash sale rules apply to them in light of their particular circumstances.

  (c) Sale, Exchange, Or Other Taxable Disposition Of Par Value Rights And New Warrants
          If a holder sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of Par Value Rights or New Warrants in a taxable disposition, the holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized for the Par Value Rights or New Warrants and the holder’s tax basis in the Par Value Rights or New Warrants. Capital gains of non-corporate holders derived with respect to a sale, exchange or other disposition of Par Value Rights or New Warrants in which the holder has a holding period exceeding one year (determined as described in Section XII.B.3(a) XII.B.3(a) – Certain Consequences To Holders Of Existing Common Stock above) may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital loss is subject to limitations. Holder’sHolders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding such limitations.
  (d) Expiration Of Par Value Rights And New Warrants
          A holder that allows a Par Value Right or New Warrant to expire generally should recognize capital loss equal to the holder’s tax basis in the Par Value Right or New Warrant, which will be treated as long-term or short-term capital loss depending upon whether such holder’s holding period in the Par Value Rights or New Warrants exceeds one year as of the date of the expiration (determined as described in Section XII.B.3(a) – Certain Consequences To Holders Of Existing Common Stock above). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding such limitations.
  (e) Distributions On New Common Stock And Additional New Common Stock
          The gross amount of any distribution of cash or property made to a holder with respect to New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock generally will be includible in gross income by a holder as dividend income to the extent such distributions are paid out of the current or accumulated earnings and profits of Delphi as determined under United States federal income tax principles. A distribution which is treated as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes may qualify for the 70% dividends-received deduction if such amount is distributed to a holder that is a corporation and certain holding period and taxable income requirements are satisfied. Any dividend received by a holder that is a corporation may be subject to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the IRC.
          A distribution in excess of Delphi’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock and will be applied against and reduce such basis dollar-for-dollar (thereby increasing the amount of gain and decreasing the amount of loss recognized on a subsequent taxable disposition of the New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock). To the extent that such distribution exceeds the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock, the distribution will be treated as capital gain, which will be treated as long-term capital gain if such holder’s holding period in its New Common Stock or

Additional New Common Stock exceeds one year as of the date of the distribution. Dividends received by non-corporate holders in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 may qualify for a reduced rate of taxation if certain holding period and other requirements are met.
  (f) Sale, Exchange, Or Other Taxable Disposition Of New Common Stock Or Additional New Common Stock
          For United States federal income tax purposes, a holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of any of its New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized for the New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock. Capital gains of non-corporate holders derived with respect to a sale, exchange or other disposition of New Common Stock or Additional New Common Stock held for more than one year may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding such limitations.
  4. Holders Of Other Interests
          A holder of an Other Interest that is deemed cancelled under the Plan will recognize a loss for United States federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Other Interest. The character of such loss as capital loss or as ordinary loss will be determined by a number of factors, including the tax status of the holder and whether the holder holds its Other Interest as a capital asset.
  5. Holders Of Section 510(b) Note Claims And Section 510(b) Equity Claims
     Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors will issue New Common Stock and cashDiscount Rights to the holders of Section 510(b) Note Claims and Section 510(b) Equity Claims. The exchange of such Claims for New Common Stock and cashDiscount Rights should constitute a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, a holder of such Claims would generally recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the cash and the fair market value on the Effective Date of the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received in exchange for its Claim, and (2) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Claim. The character of such gain or loss as capital gain or loss or as ordinary income will be determined by a number of factors, including the tax status of the holder, the nature of the Claim in such holder’s hands, whether the Claim constitutes a capital asset in the hands of the holder, whether the Claim was purchased at a discount, and whether and to what extent the holder has previously claimed a bad debt deduction with respect to its Claims. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the character of such income, gain or loss. A holder’s aggregate tax basis in the New Common Stock and Discount Rights received in exchange for its Claims would generally be equal to the aggregate fair market value of such stockNew Common Stock and Discount Rights on the Effective Date.

executory contracts and unexpired leases and thereby create a significantly higher number of unsecured claims.
     Once the court ascertains the recoveries in liquidation of secured creditors and priority claimants, it must determine the probable distribution to general unsecured creditors and equity security holders from the remaining available proceeds in liquidation. If such probable distribution has a value greater than the distributions to be received by such creditors and equity security holders under a debtor’s plan, then such plan is not in the best interests of creditors and equity security holders.
     D. Estimated Valuation Of The Reorganized Debtors
     A copy of the analysis of the total enterprise value of the Reorganized Debtors is attached to this Disclosure Statement as Appendix D.
     In connection with the framework discussion held among the Debtors, Plan Investors, the Statutory Committees, and GM during the fall of 2006, the parties negotiated an agreed enterprise value of $45 per share as well as an assumption that the aggregate amount of all trade claims and other unsecured claims (including any accrued interest) (excluding (i) unsecured funded debt claims, (ii) Flow Through Claim, (iii) GM Claims (iv) securities claims) (collectively, the “Other Unsecured Claims”) that have been asserted or scheduled but yet disallowed as of the effective date of the Plan shall be allowed or estimated for distribution purposes by the Bankruptcy Court to be no more than $1.7 billion, excluding all allowed accrued postpetition interest thereon. The negotiated plan value of $45 per share falls within the range of the Rothschild estimated total enterprise value of $11.4 billion to $14.4 billion.
     Subsequent to having reached the $45 per share agreed plan valuation and the $1.7 billion cap on Allowed Other Unsecured Claims, the claims review process has progressed and the Debtors now anticipate that the ultimately Allowed Other Unsecured Claims will be less than $1.7 billion. The reduction in estimated claims is a result of both subsequent objections to filed claims and the resolution thereof as well as the assumption under the Reorganized Debtors’ five-year business plan of approximately $240 million of claims relating to GM and labor subsidies that otherwise would have constituted alleged General Unsecured Claims. Notwithstanding the subsequent events, the framework assumptions agreed to by the Debtors and the principal stakeholders are maintained in the Plan. Accordingly, the assumed amount of ultimately Allowed Other Unsecured Claims continues to be $1.7 billion which, under the Plan, includes a $275 million claims reserve. To the extent that Allowed Other Unsecured Claims are less than the $1.7 billion estimate that is being reserved under the Plan, the cancellation of the stock reserved for the excess claim will result in an accretion in the assumed value of all parties receiving stock under the Plan.

          2. Comparison Of Liquidation Analysis And Valuation Analysis
     The liquidation analysis attached hereto as Appendix E contains two separate analyses—a “Substantive Consolidation – All Debtors” analysis, and “Substantive Consolidation Under The Plan” analysis based on the Debtors’ proposed partially-consolidated substantive consolidation groupings. The “Substantive Consolidation – All Debtors” analysis assumes that the Debtors are substantively consolidated and that creditors share in the proceeds of all of the Debtors’ assets without regard to (a) the separate legal identity of each Debtor and (b) which Debtors are obligated on particular claims. The “Substantive Consolidation Under The Plan” analysis assumes that only certain of the Debtors are consolidated, and that the Debtors are liquidated through those groupings or independently. As discussed above, the PBGC is a primary creditor of Delphi and each of its subsidiaries. The PBGC’s claims arise out of joint and several liability of each of the Debtors to the PBGC under applicable non-bankruptcy law.
     In a “Substantive Consolidation Under The Plan” liquidation (accounting for partial consolidation of Debtor entities), the PBGC would have a claim against each consolidated Debtor group or Debtor and would be entitled to receive a distribution from the proceeds of asset liquidations of each consolidated Debtor group or Debtor on account of such claim. Alternately, in a “Substantive Consolidation – All Debtors” liquidation, the PBGC’s claims against Delphi’s subsidiaries would be deemed a single claim against the consolidated Debtors’ assets and would share in distributions with all other unsecured creditors of each of the other Debtors. As a consequence, the estimated recovery of the PBGC, based on the assumptions contained in the attached liquidation analysis, is higher in the “Substantive Consolidation Under The Plan” scenario – 55% to 83% for the PBGC – and lower in the “Substantive Consolidation – All Debtors” scenario – 0% to 18% for the PBGC. Correspondingly, the recoveries of other unsecured creditors based on such assumptions is generally lower in the “Substantive Consolidation Under The Plan” scenario – 0% for general unsecured creditors (except for the DASHI Debtors and Delphi Diesel Systems Corporation) — and generally higher in the “Substantive Consolidation – All Debtors”

scenario – 0% to 18% for general unsecured creditors. Holders of existing common stock would receive no distribution under either liquidation scenario.
     No estimate is included in the aforementioned liquidation recoveries for recoveries relating to potential affirmative damage claims against GM. The Debtors believe that an estimate of the ultimate recoveries from such claims is highly subjective and dependant on numerous variables, including (i) the probabilities of successful judgment; (ii) accounting for the costs to litigate; (iii) the cost and time required to litigate the affirmative claims; and (iv) the collectibility of amounts significant enough to alter the outcome of the Liquidation Analysis. Furthermore, as more fully described in Appendix E, it is management’s belief that the amount of the affirmative action claims recoveries necessary to impact the “best interests” test is higher than the anticipated recoveries.
     The valuation analysis attached hereto as Appendix D leads to the conclusion that recoveries under the Plan would be at least as much, and in many cases significantly greater, than the recoveries available in a Chapter 7 liquidation, whether such liquidation was conducted on a Substantive Consolidation – All Debtors or Substantive Consolidation Under The Plan basis. In particular, the Debtors estimate that under the Plan, holders of General Unsecured Claims will receive a recovery equal to the principal amount of the claim plus accrued interest, payablepaid 92.4% in Cash equal to 20% of the Claim and the number shares of New Common Stockvalued at the negotiated reorganization value of $45$41.58 per share) equal to 80% of such Claim. and 7.6% through pro rata participation in the Discount Rights Offering. Furthermore, holders of existing common stock will also receive a distribution under the plan of reorganization.
XIV. CONFIRMATION
     A. Confirmation Without Acceptance Of All Impaired Classes: The “Cramdown” Alternative
     Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan can be confirmed even if it has not been accepted by all impaired classes as long as at least one impaired class of Claims, without the consideration of votes of insiders, has accepted it. The Court may confirm the Plan at the request of the Debtors notwithstanding the Plan’s rejection (or deemed rejection) by impaired Classes as long as the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” as to each impaired Class that has not accepted it. A plan does not discriminate unfairly within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code if a dissenting class is treated equally with respect to other classes of equal rank.
     A plan is fair and equitable as to a class of secured claims that rejects such plan if the plan provides (1)(a) that the holders of claims included in the rejecting class retain the liens securing those claims, whether the property subject to those liens is retained by the debtor or transferred to another entity, to the extent of the allowed amount of such claims, and (b) that each holder of a claim of such class receives on account of that claim deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of that claim, of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, of at least the value of the holder’s interest in the estate’s interest in such property; (2) for the sale, subject to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, of any property that is subject to the liens securing the claims included in the rejecting class, free

    The Bankruptcy Court will have entered one or more orders estimating Disputed Claims, if any, for the purposes of distributions and establishing Distribution Reserves, such that the maximum amount of allowable claims excluding Senior Note Claims and TOPr S Claims, and postpetition interest is less than the Unsecured Claims Threshold or the Debtors, the Plan Investors, and the Statutory Committees will be reasonably satisfied that the amount of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, excluding Senior Note Claims, TOPrS Claims, and postpetition interest will not exceed the Unsecured Claims Threshold.
 
    The Bankruptcy Court must have entered one or more orders, which may be the Confirmation Order, approving the MDL Settlements.

     C. Waiver Of Conditions To Confirmation And Consummation Of The Plan
     With the exception of those The conditions set forth in ArticleArticles 12.1(a), 12.2(b), (f), (ic), and (j12.2(e) of the Plan, the conditions set forth in Article 12.1 and Article 12.2 of the Plan may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Debtors without any notice to any other parties-in-interest or the Bankruptcy Court and without a hearing. The failure to satisfy; except that in connection with the satisfaction or waive any waiver of the condition to the Confirmation Date orset forth in section 12.2(e) of the Plan, no material modification of the Investment Agreement, the Effective Date may be asserted by Delphi-GM Definitive Agreements and the Debtors in their sole discretion regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the failureexhibits to each such agreements that have an effect on the recoveries of such condition to be satisfied (including any action or inaction by the Debtors in their sole discretion). unsecured creditors may be made without the consent of the Creditors’ Committee and the respective non-Debtor counterparty to the agreement. No other condition set forth in Articles 12.1 and 12.2 of the Plan may be waived. The failure of the Debtors to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right, which may be asserted at any time.
     D. Retention Of Jurisdiction
     Pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court will have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of, and related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan, including, among others, the following matters:
               (a) to hear and determine motions for (i) the assumption or rejection or (ii) the assumption and assignment of executory contracts or unexpired leases to which any of the Debtors are a party or with respect to which any of the Debtors may be liable, and to hear and determine the allowance of Claims resulting therefrom including the amount of Cure, if any, required to be paid;
               (b) to adjudicate any and all adversary proceedings, applications, and contested matters that may be commenced or maintained pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan, or that were the subject of proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date, proceedings to adjudicate the allowance of Disputed Claims and Disputed Interests, and all controversies and issues arising from or relating to any of the foregoing;

               (p) to hear and determine all disputes involving the existence, nature or scope of the Debtors’ discharge, including any dispute relating to any liability arising out of the termination of employment or the termination of any employee or retiree benefit program, regardless of whether such termination occurred prior to or after the Effective Date;
               (q) to enter a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases;
               (r) to enforce all orders previously entered by the Bankruptcy Court;
               (s) to hear and determine all matters relating to any Section 510(b) Note Claim, Section 510(b) Equity Claim, or Section 510(b) ERISA Claim and the implementation of the MDL Settlement for plan distribution purposes;
               (t) to hear and determine all matters arising in connection with the interpretation, implementation or enforcement of the Investment Agreement; and
               (u) to hear and determine disputes arising in connection with the interpretation, implementation or enforcement of the Delphi-GM Definitive Documents, except as provided in such documents.
     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Bankruptcy Court retains exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate and to hear and determine disputes concerning Retained Actions and any motions to compromise or settle such disputes or Retained Actions. Despite the foregoing, if the Bankruptcy Court is determined not to have jurisdiction with respect to the foregoing, or if the Reorganized Debtors choose to pursue any Retained Actions in another court of competent jurisdiction, the Reorganized Debtors will have authority to bring such action in any other court of competent jurisdiction.
          XV. ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND
CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN
     The Debtors believe that the Plan affords holders of Claims and Interests the potential for the greatest realization on the Debtors’ assets and, therefore, is in the best interests of such holders. If the Plan is not confirmed, however, the theoretical alternatives include: (a) continuation of the pending Chapter 11 Cases; (b) an alternative plan or plans of reorganization; or (c) liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     A. Continuation Of The Bankruptcy Case
     If the Debtors remain in chapter 11, they could continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession, but they would remain subject to the restrictions imposed by the Bankruptcy Code. It is not clear whether the Debtors could survive as a going concern in protracted Chapter 11 Cases. In particular, the Debtors could have difficulty sustaining the high costs and the erosion of market confidence which may be caused if the Debtors remain chapter 11 debtors-in-possession.

APPENDIX C
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

 


 

Financial Projections
     The Debtors believe that the Plan meets the Bankruptcy Code’s requirements that the Plan confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any successor under the Plan. In connection with the development of the Plan, and for the purposes of determining whether the Plan satisfies this feasibility standard, the Debtors analyzed their ability to satisfy their financial obligations while maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital resources. In this regard, the management of the Debtors developed and refined the Business Plan and prepared consolidated financial projections of Delphi Corporation (the “Projections”) for the years ending December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2011 (the “Projection Period”). Included in 2007 projected amounts are actual unaudited financial results through June 30, 2007. The Projections have been prepared on a consolidated basis consistent with the Company’s financial reporting practices and include all Debtor and non-Debtor entities.
     The Debtors do not, as a matter of course, make public projections of their anticipated financial position or results of operations. Accordingly, the Debtors do not anticipate that they will, and disclaim any obligation to, furnish updated business plans or projections to holders of Claims or Interests after the Confirmation Date, or to include such information in documents required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise make such information public.
     ALTHOUGH EVERY EFFORT WAS MADE TO BE ACCURATE, THE PROJECTIONS WERE NOT PREPARED WITH A VIEW TOWARD COMPLIANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE UNITED STATES (“U.S. GAAP”), THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD, OR THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION REGARDING PROJECTIONS. FURTHERMORE, THE PROJECTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN AUDITED OR REVIEWED BY THE DEBTORS’ INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. WHILE PRESENTED WITH NUMERICAL SPECIFICITY, THE PROJECTIONS ARE BASED ON A VARIETY OF ASSUMPTIONS, WHICH MAY NOT BE REALIZED, AND ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS, ECONOMIC AND COMPETITIVE UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE DEBTORS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE PROJECTIONS SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY ANY OF THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS, OR ANY OTHER PERSON, THAT THE PROJECTIONS WILL BE REALIZED. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PRESENTED IN THE PROJECTIONS. HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS MUST MAKE THEIR OWN DETERMINATIONS AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF SUCH ASSUMPTIONS AND THE RELIABILITY OF THE PROJECTIONS IN REACHING THEIR DETERMINATIONS OF WHETHER TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN. NEITHER THE DEBTORS’ INDEPENDENT AUDITIORS NOR THEIR FINANCIAL AND RESTRUCTURING ADVISORS HAVE EXPRESSED AN OPINION ON OR MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE ACHIEVABILITY OF THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS.
     SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: These Projected Financial Statements contain statements which constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. “Forward-looking statements” in these Projected Financial Statements include the intent, belief or current expectations of the Debtors and members of their management team with respect to the timing of, completion of and scope of the current restructuring, reorganization plan, strategic business plan, bank financing, and debt and equity market conditions and the Debtors’ future liquidity, as well as the assumptions upon which such statements are based. While management believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors currently known to management that

1


 

could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in these Projected Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncertainties set forth in Section X of the Disclosure Statement and other adverse developments with respect to the Debtors’ liquidity position or operations of the various businesses of the Reorganized Debtors, adverse developments in the bank financing markets or public or private markets for debt or equity securities, or adverse developments in the timing or results of the Debtors’ current strategic business plan (including the current timeline to emerge from chapter 11) and the possible negative effects that could result from potential economic and political factors around the world in the various foreign markets in which the Reorganized Debtors operate.
Summary of Significant Assumptions
     The Projections were developed by management using a detailed, “bottoms-up” approach (see Section VI of the Disclosure Statement) and are based upon: a) current and projected market conditions in each of the Debtors’ respective markets; b) no material acquisitions or divestures other than as contemplated in the Plan; c) emergence from chapter 11 at or around December 31, 2007 under the terms expected in the Plan; and, d) the ability to raise exit financing at rates similar to those described in the notes to the Projections. Incorporated into the Projections are management’s estimates of the economic impact of the agreements reached with the Debtors’ Plan Investors, labor unions, GM, the IRS and PBGC, and other parties to the Debtors’ transformation plan (all as discussed in more detail in this Disclosure Statement).
     The Projections include certain operations expected to be sold or wound-down (the “Non-Continuing Businesses”) which are primarily comprised of the operations of the Debtors’ Steering and Automotive Holdings Group divisions. The Non-Continuing Businesses are assumed to either: a) be sold by December 31, 20081, or b) to operate in a wind-down mode until key customers are able to secure alternate production sources. The U.S. hourly labor costs of the UAW Non-Continuing Businesses will be subsidized by GM through December 31, 2007. To the extent that the Debtors are required to extend the operations of any of the U. S. UAW Non-Continuing Businesses beyond December 31, 2007, such businesses are projected to operate on a Production Cash Burn Breakeven basis2. Therefore, the Debtors believe that a delay in the sale of any of the U.S. held for sale businesses will not have a material adverse effect on the Debtors’ operations or financial condition. For those Non-Continuing Businesses which are anticipated to be sold, the Debtors have included estimated net proceeds in the Projections.
     Consistent with the Debtors’ financial reporting, the Projections are consolidated in U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange rate assumptions used in the Projections were developed by the Debtors. Projected exchange rates for 2007 are based on forecasts provided by Global Insight (“GI/DRI”), a third-party econometric firm. Projected exchange rates beyond 2007 are based on a combination of forward curves, bank forecasts and forecasts prepared by GI/DRI.
Income Statement Assumptions — Revenues
     Sales: The Debtors base their sales forecasts on projections of OEM automotive build rates and product mix provided by GI/DRI. Certain such OEM projections are adjusted by management for market considerations prior to being incorporated into the Debtors’ revenue projections.
     The Debtors’ sales to GM, its largest customer, are highly dependant on the build rate of GM light trucks and passenger cars in North America. The GMNA build rates used during the projection period range from a low of 3.7996 million vehicles in 2008 to a high of 4.23 million vehicles in 2011. These build rates exclude CAMI and NUMMI, GM partnerships in North America.
 
1   Accordingly, such businesses are not included the Projections beyond December 31, 2008.
 
2   Excludes the Electronics and Safety Milwaukee site closing December 31, 2008, which is not covered in Production Cash Burn Breakeven.

2


 

     The Debtors’ sales to customers other than GM (“Non-GM Sales”), are also based on build rates from the GI/DRI vehicle build forecast.
     The Debtors’ sales include revenues from products for which contracts have already been awarded (“booked” sales), in addition to opportunities (“unbooked” sales) that management reasonably believes will be awarded in the future. Because OEMs typically award contracts years in advance of program launch, the Debtors’ 2007 through 2009 forecasts include approximately 80% and greater of booked sales. Delphi is not guaranteed production volumes by any OEM.
     OEM sales contracts typically include provisions for year-over-year market-based price reductions, commonly known as “price-downs,” from their suppliers. The Debtors’ Non-GM Sales reflect contractual pricing terms for booked sales and anticipated market-based pricing terms for unbooked sales expected to be awarded. Price-downs to OEMs are projected to be generally similar to historical rates. An exception to this is price-downs related to GMNA, which are assumed to be higher than typical for continuing businesses in 2008 and 2009. These years include incremental price-downs in recognition of the Debtors’ lower cost structure.
     Included within GM sales is the incremental revenue associated with the labor subsidy, relating to U.S. hourly labor related expenses, and Production Cash Burn Breakeven payments provided by GM. Such payments are expected to be approximately $0.1 billion annually in years 2008 through 2011. Actual U.S. GAAP accounting for these payments may differ.
Income Statement Assumptions — Expenses
     Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”): The most significant portion of the Debtors’ COGS expenditures are direct materials costs, including purchases of various commodity raw materials (primarily metals and plastics) used in the production of salable parts. Direct materials costs are strongly affected by unit cost assumptions regarding key commodities (e.g., copper, steel and resins). Key commodity prices for 2007 were developed by the Debtors taking into account pricing trends, market considerations and hedging positions. Commodity prices for 2008 and beyond are generally assumed to remain consistent with 2007 projected levels with the exception of copper. Copper is assumed to increase slightly in 2008, then decline modestly in 2009 and remain constant thereafter. The Debtors believe that the impact of price increases can be mitigated by performance initiatives, including competitive sourcing and engineering initiatives, to improve the overall efficiency of materials usage.
     Manufacturing expenditures comprise the next largest portion of COGS. Manufacturing expenditures include wages and benefit costs, along with outside services and other ancillary activities required in the Debtors’ production processes. In the U.S., manufacturing expenses are anticipated to be favorably impacted (relative to pre-reorganization levels) by the transformation of Delphi’s hourly workforce to a more competitive wage and benefit structure by the fourth quarter, 2007 through transition mechanisms (i.e., GM supported attrition and buydown programs), economic modifications to the existing labor agreements, the exit from designated non-continuing sites, and design changes to existing defined benefit hourly pension and post-retirement healthcare plans (discussed further in the “Balance Sheet Assumptions” section). In regions outside the U.S., manufacturing expenses are expected to be favorably impacted by various initiatives to consolidate manufacturing and migrate production to lower-cost geographic locations. Cost of goods sold also includes manufacturing related restructuring charges.
     Selling General and Administrative (“SG&A expense”): SG&A expense represents expenses incurred at corporate and divisional headquarters locations, along with various plant overhead functions, all IT expenses and SG&A related restructuring charges. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses (inclusive of restructuring items) range from a high of 7.88% in 2008 to a low of 5.7% in 2011. The decline in such costs as a percentage of sales is attributed to recurring savings from cost reduction measures, including financial services and IT outsourcing activities for which one-time SG&A expenses will be incurred in 2007 and 2008.

3


 

     Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization (“D&A”) expenses are comprised of recurring depreciation expense using accelerated or straight line depreciation methods for fixed assets employed during the projection period. D&A also includes non–cash impairment charges related to reductions in carrying value of certain assets of the Debtors’ Non-Continuing Businesses. In addition, beginning in the first quarter following the Effective Date, expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets (other than goodwill) are recorded in conjunction with the implementation of Fresh Start accounting, as well as a write-off of in-process R&D of $0.3 billion in the first quarter of 2008. Excluding the write-off of in-process R&D, the amortization of intangible assets is estimated to be $0.3 billion annually in years 2008 through 2011.
     Restructuring Charges: Restructuring charges are included within the COGS, SG&A expense, D&A and other categories in the Projections. The following table illustrates the split of projected restructuring expenses between the aforementioned expense categories:

Amounts are included in securities litigation charge and sales line items in the income statement.
           Restructuring charges are comprised of various income statement impacts of implementing the Debtors’ Transformation Plan, including:
    Employee payout costs of the 2007 special attrition programs, which offers various transition and exit mechanisms to the U.S. hourly labor workforce;
 
    Other employee severance (primarily U.S. salaried and non-U.S. hourly employees) costs resulting from the wind-down and sale of the Debtors’ Non-Continuing Businesses;
 
    The consolidation and migration of various continuing businesses (primarily in Europe), resulting in expenses for employee severance and plant closing costs;
 
    Non-cash impairment charges related to the reduction in carrying value of the assets of the Debtors’ Non-Continuing Businesses.
 
    Various overhead cost reduction measures, including financial services and IT outsourcing and migration of IT systems resulting in one-time IT and employee severance costs; and,
 
    One-time income and expense items recognized as a result of the agreement with GM, including:

4


 

  °   GM labor subsidy income retroactive to October 1, 2006, recognized in the first quarter of 2008; and,
 
  °   Commercial price concessions retroactive to January 1, 2007, recognized in the first quarter of 2008.
     Restructuring expense in the Projections differs from that reported for U.S. GAAP purposes in certain respects; however, the Debtors’ believe that this presentation facilitates the use of EBITDAR, EBITDARP and EBITDARPO (operating income before depreciation, amortization, restructuring, pension and OPEB expense), as indicators of recurring operating income during the Projection Period.
     Reorganization Items: Reorganization items are primarily comprised of cancellation of debt (“COD”) income resulting from the settlement of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities at the Effective Date, partially offset by the recognition of approximately $4.0 billion of net unamortized losses related to predecessor pension, OPEB, and Extended Disability Benefits (“EDB”) liabilities. The largest component of COD income results from the termination of the Debtors’ hourly-post-retirement healthcare liability of approximately $8.3 billion, as part of the labor transformation. Bankruptcy-related professional fees are also included in reorganization items.
     Interest Expense: Interest expense is based upon projected debt levels and applicable interest rates, as outlined under debt structure below. Interest expense also includes the non-cash amortization of certain transaction fees associated with emergence.
     Other Income/(Expense): Other income/(expense) is primarily comprised of equity income from non-consolidated joint ventures, minority interest expense in consolidated joint ventures and interest income. The 2008 other income/(expense) includes the write-off of certain other assets at the Non-Continuing Businesses.
     Income Tax Expense: Outside of the U.S., effective income tax rates are used to forecast income tax expense. These tax rates take into consideration management estimates regarding the ability to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards to offset a portion of taxable income and the impact of changes in tax laws. U.S. income taxes were estimated by the Debtors after considering the application of pre-emergence tax attributes to offset any taxable income, subject to Section 382 limitations, and post-emergence net operating losses. The Debtors believe that they will have sufficient net operating losses to completely offset U.S. taxable income during the Projection Period and, therefore, no amounts relating to U.S. income taxes are included in the Projections.
     EBITDAR: EBITDAR improves from $0.4 billion in 2007 to $2.4 billion in 2009. amounting to an improvement of $2.0 billion. Reductions in Pension and OPEB expense contribute $1.0 billion to this improvement, while other transformation related activities amount to $0.4 billion. In addition, the impact of revenue growth combined with net improvements in operational factors amount to $0.6 billion.
Balance Sheet Assumptions (Should be read in conjunction with the Projected Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Assumptions)
     Cash and Cash Equivalents: The projections contain anticipated minimum cash balances required for operations as established by management. Excess cash is applied to the revolving credit facility, and then used to pay down term debt after 2008.
     Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable decreases in 2008 as the working capital related to the Non-Continuing Businesses is monetized. After 2008, the increase increase in accounts receivable relates to the expected sales growth as customer terms are customer are projected to remain relatively constant throughout the period.

5


 

     Inventory: Inventory decreases from 2007 to 2008, due primarily to the Debtors’ monetization of working capital related to Non-Continuing Businesses. From 2009 to 2011, inventory balances increase as a result of growth, as inventory turns are projected to remain relatively constant.
     Other Current Assets: Other current assets are primarily comprised of prepaid expenses, reimbursements due from GM under the Debtors’ agreement with GM and other assets which are short-term in nature.
     Property, Net: Changes in property, net are primarily driven by capital spending, which is derived based upon anticipated requirements emanating from the Debtors’ revenue plan, product migration, facilities maintenance and restructuring activities. Capital spending as a percentage of sales peaks in 2008 at 4.76% and then declines each year over the Projection Period to 3.3% by 2011.
     Other Assets: Other assets are primarily comprised of identifiable intangible assets (e.g., patents, trade names, and customer relationships) and the book value of investments in non-consolidated joint ventures. Other assets increase significantly at the end of 2007 due to assumptions regarding the revaluation of intangible assets at the Effective Date in conjunction with the implementation of Fresh Start Accounting.
     Pension Prepaid Asset3: Pension prepaid asset represents the excess of plan assets over plan obligations for U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The pension prepaid asset increases over the Projection Period due to freezing of the U.S. hourly and salaried defined benefit plans (described in further detail under “Pension”), which results in a reduction in projected benefit obligations and the reduction of pension contributions to reach the full funding limit, as well as projected asset returns that exceed the liability discount rate.
     Goodwill: Goodwill was determined by subtracting the estimated fair market value of the reorganized Debtors’ identifiable tangible and intangible assets at the Effective Date from the sum of the projected reorganized equity value plus total liabilities upon emergence.
     Accounts Payable: The Projections reflect the return of the Debtors’ accounts payable to pre-petition terms in 2008, the effect of which is offset by the reduction of payables related to the monetization of working capital at certain Non-Continuing Businesses. In 2010 and 2011, the increase in accounts payable balances relates to growth, as vendor payment terms are projected to remain consistent with year-end 2008.
     Accrued Liabilities: Accrued liabilities are primarily comprised of employee benefit obligations (excluding pension), warranty, income and other tax, payroll, at risk compensation, restructuring, and attrition program obligations due within the following twelve months.
     Debt Structure: Upon emergence, the Debtors’ long-term debt structure is expected to include:
  a)   A $1.6 billion revolving credit facility at an interest rate of LIBOR +225 (London Interbank Offered Rate plus 225 basis points) to serve as supplemental liquidity for general operating purposesn exit revolver to serve as supplemental liquidity for general operating purposes;
 
  b)   $4.5 billion of exit financing facilities comprised of a $3.7 billion funded term loan at an interest rate of LIBOR +375 and a $0.75 billion second lien note at a 9.5% interest rate which will be raised in the capital markets to satisfy claims and other financing needs as contemplated in the Plan;
 
3   Since pension status is measured on a plan-by-plan basis, the Debtors’ consolidated balance sheet projections include both pension prepaid assets and pension liabilities in the same periods, due to the underfunded status of certain international and U.S. non-qualified plans.

6


 

  c)   $7.1 billion of oxit financing facilities bearing a blondod intorost rate of 8.8% to satisfy claims and othor financing noods aa contemplated in tho Plan; and $0.75 billion second lien note to GM at a 9.5% interest rate to satisfy a portion of the GM Claim,; and,
 
  d)   Factoring, securitization, and other foreign debt, capital leases and industrial development bonds.
     Pension3: Pension liabilities represent the excess of plan obligations over plan assets for U.S. and foreign defined benefit pension plans. As part of the Debtors’ Transformation Plan, the U.S. hourly and salaried defined benefit plans are assumed to be frozen as of the Effective Date. The hourly plan is replaced with a 5.4% cash balance plan for the UAW and a 7% Defined Contribution (“DC”) plan for the IUE & USW. The salaried defined benefit plan is being replaced with a DC plan providing for employer non-elective and matching contributions. The SERP is also assumed to be frozen as of the Effective Date and replaced for active employees with a non-qualified DC SERP.
     The principal U.S. plan actuarial estimates are: asset return rates of 10.0% in 2007 and 8.75% thereafter and a discount rate of 5.9%.
     Underfunded obligations for foreign pension plans are included for the entire Projection Period assuming no design changes to existing benefits.
     OPEB: The termination of the U.S. hourly post-retirement healthcare plan and concurrent triggering of the GM Benefit Guarantees are assumed to occur on the Effective Date. Post-Effective Date OPEB liabilities reflect the Debtors’ obligations related to a) retiree medical accounts for certain U.S. hourly employees pursuant to U.S. labor agreements, and b) continuing obligations for certain U.S. salaried active and retired employees. These are projected based upon expected eligible employees and assumptions relating to future health care costs, mortality tables and discount rates.
     Other Liabilities: Other liabilities are primarily comprised of long-term obligations or reserves related to restructuring initiatives, customer warranties, workers compensation and environmental matters. Minority interest in consolidated joint-ventures is also included.
     Stockholders’ Equity: Stockholders’ equity at the Effective Date includos tho offoct of $2.6 billion of new invested capital (including proceeds from the Rights Offerings and the sale of convertible preferred stock), aa woll aa tho iaauanco of common atock to propotition constituents at a negotiated Plan aharo price of $15 per aharo. aubioct to diacounta for certain conatituonta an negotiated in the Plan.Stockholders’ Equity: For purposes only of preliminary fresh start accounting estimates in these Projections, stockholders’ equity at the Effective Date is based on an assumed $13.5 billion enterprise value estimate along with pro forma emergence net debt, and includes the effect of $2.6 billion of new invested capital (including proceeds from the Rights Offerings and the sale of convertible preferred stock), as well as the issuance of i) common stock to pre-petition constituents and ii) $1.2 billion of preferred stock to GM as part of the total consideration in satisfaction of the GM Claim.
Cash Flow Assumptions
     Cash flow from operating activities: Cash flow from operating activities is projected to increase from an outflow of $0.8 billion in 2007 to an inflow of $1.5 7billion in 2011. Significant sources and uses of cash from operations include:
    EBITDARPO improves from $1.3 billion in 2007 to $2.9 billion in 2011;

7


 

    Gobal restructuring cash outflows of approximately $1.6 billion, $0.5 billion and $0.2 billion in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively;
 
    U.S. pension funding contributions of approximately $1.2 billion in 2008 made in accordance with the Pension Protection Act of 2006;
 
    Projected net working capital monetization proceeds associated with the exit from certain Non-Continuing Businesses; and,
 
    Net reimbursements from GM of $0.4 billion in first quarter 2008 resulting from the settlement with GM.
     Improved operating cash flows are generally the result of the implementation of the Debtors’ Transformation Plan, including product portfolio rationalization and migration, SG&A cost reduction initiatives, reduction in personnel costs as a result of negotiations with labor groups, the freezing of U.S. legacy defined benefit pension plans and agreement with GM regarding future business commitments and financial support for legacy costs, including hourly OPEB, as well as revenue growth in the continuing businesses.
     Cash flow from investing activities: Cash flow from investing activities primarily consists of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are $0.9 billion in 2008, which includes various restructuring initiatives, and decline thereafter to approximately $0.8 billion per year following the wind-down and/or sale of Non-Continuing Businesses.
     Cash flow from financing activities: The Projections anticipate raising approximately $79.07 billion of incremental funding in the form of bank debt, unsecured second lien notes, convertible preferred stock, and rights to purchase equity on the Effective Date to satisfy the Debtors’ anticipated capital requirements offset by emergence payments of approximately $69.41- billion required under the Plan. Financing raised in excess of emergence payments on December 31, 2007 is used primarily to fund U.S. pension contributions shortly after emergence. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, cash flows from financing activities generally represent net draws or repayments under the Debtors’ revolving credit facilities and principal paydowns on the exit term loan due to both scheduled amortization and application of excess cash flow. Prior to the Effective Date, cash flows from financing activities are primarily comprised of borrowings under the Debtors’ DIP financing facility. Further detail of the various sources and uses of cash at the Effective Date are illustrated below:

Administrative and priority claims and transaction fees are estimated to be $0.7 billion and are projected to receive 100% of their total claim amount in cash. Transaction fees include payments to debt and equity capital providers for underwriting, as well as to legal and financial advisors involved in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 case.

Projected Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Assumptions
     U.S. GAAP requires companies emerging from bankruptcy that meet certain criteria to apply Fresh-Start Reporting upon emergence in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7 Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (“SOP 90-7”). The main principles of Fresh Start Reporting include the reorganization

14


 

value of the entity being allocated to the entity’s assets in conformity with the procedures specified by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and any portion of the reorganization value that cannot be attributed to specific tangible or identified intangible assets of the emerging entity should be reported as goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
     Solely for purposes of preliminary fresh start accounting estimates in these Projections, the reorganization value is based upon a $13.5 billion enterprise value estimate. The reorganization value ultimately used by the Debtors in implementing Fresh-Start Reporting may differ from this estimate. Likewise, the Debtors’ allocation of the reorganization value to individual assets and liabilities is based upon preliminary estimates by the Debtors, are subject to change upon the formal implementation of Fresh-Start Reporting and could result in material differences to the allocated values included in these Projections. For purposes of the Projections, the reorganization value is based upon a deemed equity value of $45 per share, subject to discounts for certain constituents as negotiated in the Plan. The reorganization value ultimately used by the Debtors in implementing Fresh-Start Reporting may differ from this estimate. Likewise, the Debtors’ allocation of the reorganization value to individual assets and liabilities is based upon preliminary estimates by the Debtors, are subject to change upon the formal implementation of Fresh Start Reporting and could result in material differences to the allocated values included in these Projections.
     The significant projected pro forma consolidated balance sheet adjustments reflected in the Projections are summarized as follows:
a) Inventory: A Fresh-Start adjustment of approximately $0.1 billion was made due to a revaluation of materials inventory based on estimated fair market value.
b) Other Current Assets: An adjustment of $0.2 billion was made to mark up a receivable from GM for the 2007 pension normal cost reimbursement and the 2007/2008 OPEB cash cost reimbursement.
c) Property, net: A Fresh-Start adjustment of approximately $0.8 billion was made to write-up fixed assets to its-estimated fair market value.
d) Other Assets: An adjustment of approximately $4.3 billion was made to recognize intangible assets based on the estimated fair market value of patents, trade names, customer relationships and in-process research and development. In addition, an adjustment of approximately $0.2 billion was made to write-up investments in non-consolidated joint ventures to estimated fair market value. Other Assets also includes the capitalization of certain exit financing fees in the amount of $0.2 billion.
e) Goodwill: Goodwill is estimated by subtracting the estimated fair market value of the reorganized Debtors’ identifiable tangible and intangible assets from the sum of the projected reorganized equity value plus total liabilities upon emergence. Adjustments were also made to record approximately $4.8 billion of excess reorganization value upon the Effective Date.
f) Short-term debt: Short-term debt at the Effective Date of $0.8 billion is primarily comprised of reinstated foreign debt.
g) Long-term debt: Long-term debt at the Effective Date includes approximately $-53.75- billion of term loans, $1.5 billion of second Iienunsecured notes and $0.1 billion of reinstated other debt.
h) Pension (long-term): Adjustments were made to record reductions in the carrying value of pension liabilities, primarily due to the freeze of the U.S. hourly defined benefit plan, and the corresponding transfer of $ 1.5 billion net unfunded liability to GM. Other adjustments of approximately $0.6 billion were recorded to the Pension liability due to both the freeze of the U.S.

15


 

salaried defined benefit plan and separately, the satisfaction of approximately $0.1 billion of claims related to retiree SERP obligations.
i) OPEB (long-term): Adjustments of approximately $8.3 billion were made to record reductions in carrying value of OPEB liabilities resulting from the termination of the existing U.S. hourly post-retirement healthcare plans.
j) Other Liabilities: An adjustment of approximately $0.3 billion was made to reclassify warranty and environmental liabilities from Liabilities Subject to Compromise.
k) Liabilities Subject to Compromise: An adjustment of approximately $4.1 billion was made to record the settlement of accounts payable, short term and long term debt and other liabilities pursuant to the Plan. In addition, as noted above, approximately $0.3 billion of warranty and environmental liabilities were reclassified to other liabilities. The liabilities subject to compromise account shown on the balance sheet excludes pre-petition pension and OPEB liabilities. These liabilities are displayed separately on the balance sheet and related fresh-start adjustments are described in the “Pension (long-term)” and “OPEB (long-term)” sections in this exhibit.
1) Total Stockholders Equity (Deficit): Adopting fresh-start reporting results in a new reporting entity with no retained earnings/deficit or accumulated comprehensive income. All pre-existing common stock has been replaced by the new equity structure comprehended in the Plan, which includes the issuance of i) New Common Stock to the Plan Investors and Pre-Petition Claimants, ii) New Preferred Stock to the Plan Investors, and iii) preferred stock to GM as part of the total consideration in satisfaction of the GM Claim. Total Stockholders Equity (Deficit): Adopting fresh start reporting results in a new reporting entity with no retained earnings/deficit or accumulated comprehensive income. All pre existing common stock has been replaced by the new equity structure comprehended in the Plan.

VALUATION ANALYSIS


 

Appendix D
Valuation Analysis
     Rothschild has performed an analysis of the estimated value of Reorganized Delphi on a going-concern basis.
     In preparing its analysis, Rothschild has, among other things: (i) reviewed certain recent publicly available financial results of the Debtors; (ii) reviewed certain internal financial and operating data of the Debtors, including the business projections prepared and provided by the Debtors’ management relating to is business and its prospects; (iii) discussed with certain senior executives the current operations and prospects of the Debtors; (iv) reviewed certain operating and financial forecasts prepared by the Debtors, including the business projections in this Disclosure Statement (the “Projections”); (v) discussed with certain senior executives of the Debtors key assumptions related to the Projections; (vi) prepared discounted cash flow analyses based on the Projections, utilizing various discount rates, and separately valued and accounted for he Debtors’ NOLs; (vii) considered he market value of certain publicly-traded companies in businesses reasonably comparable to the operating businesses of the Debtors; (viii) considered the value assigned to certain precedent change-in-control transactions for businesses similar to the Debtors; (ix) separately valued and accounted for the minority interests of third parties in consolidated joint ventures of the Debtors; (x) separately reviewed and accounted for the values estimated for Delphi’s ownership interests in unconsolidated joint ventures prepared for the Debtors fresh start accounting; and (xi) ; separately valued and accounted for the 5% warrants being issued to Existing Common Equity utilizing the standard Black Scholes methodology; and (xii) conducted such other analyses as Rothschild deemed necessary under the circumstances. Rothschild also has considered a range of potential risk factors, including: (a) overhang and impact from operating under bankruptcy protection; (b) ability to execute and realize savings from planned operational initiatives; (c) Reorganized Delphi’s capital structure; and (d) ability to meet projected growth targets.
     Rothschild assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy, completeness, and fairness of all of the financial and other information available to it from public sources or as provided to Rothschild by the Debtors or their representatives. Rothschild also assumed that the Projections have been reasonably prepared on a bass reflecting he Debtors best estimates and judgment as to future operating and financial performance. Rothschild did not make any independent evaluation of he Debtors’ assets, nor did Rothschild verify any of he information it reviewed. To the extent the valuation is dependent upon he Recorganized Debtors achievement of the Projections, the valuation must be considered speculative. Rothschild does not make any representation or warranty as to the fairness of the terms of the Plan.
     In addition to the foregoing, Rothschild relied upon the following assumptions with respect to the valuation of the Debtors:
    The Effective Date occurs on or about the end of December 31 February, 2007.
 
    The valuation date is as of December 31, 2007
 
    The Debtors are able to recapitalize with adequate liquidity as of the Effective Date.
 
    The Debtors are able to implement the Global Settlement and Master Restructuring Agreements reached with General Motors and the Delphi-Appaloosa EPCA.
 

 


 

    The pro forma net debt levels of the Debtors will be approximately $7.1 5.2 billion after adjusting to include Delphi’s projected U.S. pension funding payments that will become payable as of the Effective Date and the net payment that will become payable by General Motors to Delphi as of the Effective Date under the Global Settlement and Master Restructuring Agreements.
 
    The Projections assume that a material portion of he Debtors’ NOLs will be available to the Reorganized Debtors, although subject to limitations under currently existing U.S. federal income tax laws.
 
    General financial and market conditions as of the Effective Date will not differ materially from those conditions prevailing as of the date of this Disclosure Statement.
     As a result of such analyses, review, discussions, considerations, and assumptions, Rothschild estimates the total enterprise value (“TEV”) at approximately $11.42 billion to $14.1billion, with a midpoint of $12.7billion, which incorporates adjustments to include the estimated value of Dephi’s interests in unconsolidated joint ventures, and deducts the estimated value of third party interests in consolidated joint ventures. Rothschild reduced such TEV estimates by the estimated pro forma net debt levels of Reorganized Delphi (approximately $7.15.2 billion) to estimate the implied reorganized equity value of Reorganized Delphi. Rothschild estimates that Reorganzed Dephi’s implied total reorganized equity value will range from $6.0billion to $8.9 billion. After deducting estimated value for the 5% warrants of approximately $ million to $ million, Rothschild estimates the implied distributable reorganized equity value will range from $ billion to $1 billion, with a midpoint of $7.57 billion. The Plan provides for the distribution of 188,378,339,27,046 million shares1 of New Common Stock assuming conversion of the $800 2.0 billion million of convertible preferred stock. The implied potential price per share based on the implied distributable reorganized equity value ranges from $31.85 to $47.33 with a midpoint of $39.598.28. However, the value of those shares is subject to dilution as a result of the exercise of certain rights (including options and other rights to acquire shares, etc.) and conversions in connection with certain equity incentive plans. As stated in footnote 1, the ultimate amount of distributed shares will be determined through the claims reconciliation process. Any variance on the ultimate General Unsecured Claims pool could have a material impact on recoveries achieved.
     These estimated ranges of values and recoveries are based on a hypothetical value that reflects the estimated intrinsic value of Reorganized Delphi derived through the application of various valuation methodologies. The implied reorganized equity value ascribed in this analysis does not purport to be an estimate of the post-reorganization market trading value. Such trading value may be materially different from the implied reorganized equity value ranges associated with Rothschild’s valuation analysis. Rothschild’s estimate is based on economic, market, financial, and other conditions as they exist on, and on the information made available as of, the date of this Disclosure Statement. It should be understood that, although subsequent developments, before or after the Confirmation Hearing, may affect Rothschild’s conclusions, Rothschild does not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm its estimate.
     The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Rothschild. The preparation of an estimate involves various
 
1   References to number of shares are estimates based on the Debtors’ assumptions regarding, among other things, the ultimate amount of unsecured claims, cure amounts, accrued interest, and the claims reserve.

 


 

determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods in the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an estimate is not readily susceptible to summary description. The value of an operating business is subject to uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict and will fluctuate with changes in factors affecting the financial conditions and prospects of such a business. As a result, the estimate of implied reorganized equity value set forth herein is not necessarily indicative of actual outcomes, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those set forth herein. In addition, estimates of implied reorganized equity value do not purport to be appraisals, nor do they necessarily reflect the values that might be realized if assets were sold. The estimates prepared by Rothschild assume that the Reorganized Debtors will continue as the owner and operator of their businesses and assets and that such assets are operated in accordance with the Debtors business plan. Depending on the results of the Debtors operations or changes in the financial markets, Rothschild’s valuation analysis as of the Effective Date may differ from that disclosed herein.
     In addition, the valuation of newly issued securities, such as the New Common Stock, is subject to additional uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict. Actual market prices of such securities at issuance will depend upon, among other things, prevailing interest rates, conditions in the financial markets, the anticipated initial securities holdings of holders of General Unsecured Claims, General Motors and Existing Common Stock, some of whom may prefer to liquidate their investment rather than hold it on a long-term basis, and other factors that generally influence the prices of securities. Actual market prices of such securities also may be affected by other factors not possible to predict. Accordingly, the implied reorganized equity value estimated by Rothschild does not necessarily reflect, and should not be construed as reflecting, values that will be attained in the public or private markets.
THE FOREGOING VALUATION IS BASED UPON A NUMBER OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE DEBTORS OR THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS. ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE RANGES REFLECTED IN THE VALUATION WOULD BE REALIZED IF THE PLAN WERE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE, AND ACTUAL RESULTS COULD VARY MATERIALLY FROM THOSE SHOWN HERE.
THE ESTIMATED CALCULATION OF ENTERPRISE VALUE IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON ACHIEVING THE FUTURE FINANCIAL RESULTS AS SET FORTH IN THE DEBTORS BUSINE SS PROJECTIONS, AS WELL AS THE REALIZATION OF CERTAIN OTHER ASSUMPTIONS, NONE OF WHICH ARE GUARANTEED AND MANY OF WHICH ARE OUTSIDE OF THE DEBTORS CONTROL, AS FURTHER DISCUSSED IN ARTICLE X [GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RISK FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED] OF THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT.
THE CALCULATIONS OF VALUE SET FORTH HEREIN REPRESENT ESTIMATED REORGANIZATION VALUES AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT VALUES THAT COULD BE ATTAINABLE IN PUBLIC OR PRIVATE MARKETS. THE EQUITY VALUE STATED HEREIN DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE AN ESTIMATE OF THE POST-REORGANIZATION MARKET VALUE. SUCH VALUE, IF ANY, MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE


 

REORGANIZED EQUITY VALUE RANGES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VALUATION ANALYSIS. NO RESPONSIBILITY IS TAKEN BY ROTHSCHILD FOR CHANGES IN MARKET CONDITIONS AND NO OBLIGATIONS ARE ASSUMED TO REVISE THIS CALCULATION OF REORGANIZED DELPHI’S VALUE TO REFLECT EVENTS OR CONDITIONS THAT SUBSEQUENTLY OCCUR. THE CALCULATIONS OF VALUE DO NOT CONFORM TO THE UNIFORM STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL PRACTICE OF THE APPRAISAL FOUNDATION.

APPENDIX E
LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS


 

    inter-company allocations, charges, and other ordinary course transactions. Inter-company receivable activity is separated between pre- and postpetition amounts and setoff rights have been applied on the same basis.
 
    Prepetition inter-company receivables include only net prepetition inter-company trade and net inter-company notes receivable, which are recovered in full if owed by a non-Debtor entity or treated as general unsecured claims if owed by a Debtor entity.
 
    Postpetition inter-company receivables include net postpetition inter-company trade, net inter-company notes receivable, and debit cross-charge balances. Such amounts are recovered in full when owed by a non-Debtor entity or treated as administrative claims when owed by a Debtor entity. The Debtors acknowledge that pursuant to the Final Order Under 11 U.S.C. §§363 and 553 Authorizing (I) Continued Maintenance of Existing Bank Accounts, (II) Continued Use of Existing Cash Management System, (III) Continued Use of Business Forms, (IV) Preservation and Exercise of Intercompany Setoff Rights, and (V) Grant of Administrative Status for Postpetition Intercompany Transactions (Docket No. 882), certain postpetition inter-company claims may be entitled to a junior secured interest in the Debtors. Although the Liquidation Analysis treats postpetition inter-company claims as administrative claims, the treatment of these claims as junior secured claims in the Liquidation Analysis would have no material impact on recoveries to general unsecured creditors.
 
5.   Inventories include raw material, work-in-process, and finished goods, as well as spare parts and non-productive inventory. Due to the limited immediate availability of alternative product (which in many cases is none), the Liquidation Analysis assumes that customers will continue to purchase product from the Debtors until their business can be adequately resourced to another automotive parts supplier, allowing the Debtors to convert much of their inventory into finished goods. In addition, it is assumed that the remaining inventory is sold to the new suppliers at approximately net book value.
 
    The liquidation values for inventory are based on the inventory balances from each Debtor’s respective books and records, adjusting for items that would have limited recoveries in a liquidation, such as rework (parts not yet meeting quality control standards), excess and obsolete, damaged and defective and packaging goods. The resulting liquidation values employed in the Liquidation Analysis are equal to a blended recovery of 75% to 83% of net book value.
 
6.   Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets include supplier loans, futures contracts, deposits, investments in other non-affiliated companies, the fair value of derivative contracts, deferred charges, and other miscellaneous prepaid expenses. Recovery estimates for prepaid expenses and other current assets vary depending upon their nature and assessment of their quality during an orderly liquidation. The estimated blended recovery for this category is approximately 33%.

Compensation Committee Philosophy and Strategy

 


 

Delphi Corporation
Compensation Philosophy and Strategy
The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) is committed to providing a total compensation program that supports Delphi’s business and people strategies and aligns with the interests of Delphi’s key stakeholders during the Chapter 11 and shareholders thereafter.
Objectives. The Committee’s overall objectives regarding executive compensation can be summarized as follows:
  Provide a target total reward opportunity sufficient to attract and retain high-caliber executives (see the Definitions section below for an explanation of the various executive groups referred to herein) who can effectively manage Delphi’s complex global businesses, taking into account the competitive marketplace, as well as each executive’s experience and performance. In general, this involves developing and adjusting, in conjunction with the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, a target pay structure that provides median total direct compensation at planned levels of performance and total direct compensation above the median when Delphi achieves performance that exceeds plan. In this regard, the Committee assesses both total direct compensation, which is the sum of salary + annual incentive opportunity + long-term incentive opportunity, and total compensation, which includes other aspects of pay, including retirement benefits. Market total direct compensation comparisons for the members of the Delphi Strategy Board (DSB) are developed from proxy data from a comparable group of large, diversified companies, as well as from manufacturing and auto industry survey data. Market total direct compensation comparisons for non-DSB executives are developed from survey data only.
 
  Link the majority of the total compensation opportunity to performance-based incentives, annual financial and strategic goals, and the creation of sustainable shareholder value consistent with Delphi’s long-term strategic goals.
 
  Align Delphi executives’ interests with those of shareholders by making stock-based incentives a core element of our executives’ compensation and requiring that they retain a meaningful amount of common stock during their tenure.
 
  Recognize the cyclical nature of Delphi’s businesses and the need to manage for value throughout the business cycle.
 
  Provide flexibility to recognize, differentiate, and reward individual performance.
Reward Philosophy. The Committee believes the following items should be rewarded, and the Delphi compensation programs are customized to recognize company and individual performance and contribution regarding these items.
  Financial — financial goals established by the Board of Directors are primary indicators of whether the company and its business units are achieving their annual and long-term business strategies and objectives.

1


 

Delphi Corporation
Compensation Philosophy and Strategy
  Customer/Operational — customer important operating metrics are quality, delivery, product launch performance, as well as internal measures of efficiency such as manufacturing performance, engineering performance, safety performance, etc.
  People — Delphi’s executives’ leadership attributes, including development of people, ethical conduct, and development of a diverse workforce are periodically assessed and evaluated.
Elements of Compensation. The Committee intends to structure an executive compensation program that consists primarily of the following integrated components, which together make up an executive’s total compensation.
  Salary — The Committee intends to provide executives with salaries commensurate with their job responsibilities, experience, and performance, subject to the competitive marketplace.
 
  Annual Incentive — Awards under the annual plan provide a direct link between executive compensation and the annual performance of the company and each executive. A target incentive pool will be created each year based on achievement of financial or operational metrics selected from time to time by the Board of Directors. Each executive will receive an award opportunity, with the award being earned based first on the company and division (if applicable) achieving specific financial goals and second on an assessment of the executive’s performance for the year. That assessment can result in the award being reduced to zero or increased to a specified maximum of an executive’s target opportunity.
 
  Long-term Incentive — Awards under the long-term plan align the economic interest of executives and shareholders and are designed to encourage achievement of Delphi’s long-term strategic objectives. Each executive will receive a long-term incentive award opportunity each year consistent with competitive data, adjusted from time to time for his or her performance, leadership potential, and contribution, as well as changes in the competitive data.
 
    The Committee will determine the vesting criteria for each award, including the duration of the vesting period, whether the vesting is graded or cliff, whether vesting is conditioned upon achievement of performance goals or continued service only, etc.
 
    The Committee intends to use a variety of award vehicles, which could include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or units, performance shares or units, cash awards, etc, as it deems appropriate from time to time.
 
    The Committee also intends to make long-term incentive awards at approximately the same time each year to focus executives on the importance of creating long-term shareholder value.
 
  Employment and Change in Control Agreements — To retain and attract highly- qualified executives and to protect the Company’s interests, the Committee believes that executive employment agreements are appropriate and that these objectives are achieved by offering each DSB member a competitive severance benefit in return for covenants not to compete and not to solicit.
 
   

2


 

Delphi Corporation
Compensation Philosophy and Strategy
    The Committee also believes that separate change in control (CIC) agreements are appropriate. By entering into these CIC agreements before the occurrence of a CIC, the Committee expects each DSB member’s full attention and dedication to shareholders’ interests in the event any CIC is contemplated or occurs, and willingness to remain in his or her position until the completion of the CIC, even if it may mean the loss of his or her position.
 
  Retirement Benefits — Retirement benefits also fulfill an important role with the Committee’s overall total compensation objectives because they provide a financial security component and promote retention. The Committee intends for Delphi’s retirement programs, including the amount of benefits, to be competitive and for employees and executives to bear a portion of the responsibility for funding their retirement benefits.
 
  Perquisites — Perquisites and related benefits are consistent with the Committee’s overall total compensation objectives because they ensure competitiveness at the top executive level. The Committee, however, believes that any perquisites should be modest, reasonable in terms of cost, and aligned with business needs.
Performance Management. Each executive’s performance for the year is assessed under Delphi’s performance system. The assessment affects any merit increases in salary, the payment of annual incentive awards, and the amount of any long-term incentive awards. Indicated below is the person, or persons, including the Compensation Committee, responsible for each executive’s performance review:
  Executive Chairman — by the Compensation Committee, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors
  CEO — by the Compensation Committee, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors
  Each DSB Member — by the CEO, subject to the review and approval of the Compensation Committee
  Non-DSB Executives — by their direct supervisors, subject to the review and approval of the DSB officer to whom such executive ultimately reports. A non-DSB executive subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 also has his or her compensation reviewed and approved (in the case of equity awards) by the Compensation Committee.
Definitions. Each of the key terms referred to above is defined as follows:
  Delphi Strategy Board (DSB) — Delphi’s officer group (Vice Presidents and above), approximately 21 individuals, which includes the functional and staff heads of various Corporate functions
  Non-DSB executives — Approximately 535 global executives who are eligible for compensation under Delphi’s Executive Compensation and Benefit programs. This group comprises Bands A-F under Delphi’s compensation structure.

Delphi Corporation
Compensation Philosophy and Strategy
  Executives — The combined Delphi Strategy Board and non-DSB executives, approximately 560 executives

          THIS AGREEMENT, dated                     , 2007, is made by and between Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (the “Executive”).
          WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of members of the Delphi Strategy Board; and
          WHEREAS, the Executive is a member of the Delphi Strategy Board; and
          WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among members of the Delphi Strategy Board, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and
          WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Delphi Strategy Board, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control;
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
     1. Defined Terms. The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in the last Section hereof to the extent not otherwise defined herein.
     2. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the consummation of the Company’s Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and shall continue in effect through December 31, 2009; provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2009 and each January 1 thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than September 30 of the preceding year, the Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall expire no earlier than [twenty-four (24) months]1 [twelve (12) months]2 beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred.
     3. Compensation Other Than Severance Payments
          3.1 Following a Change in Control and during the Term, during any period that the Executive fails to perform the Executive’s full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period (other than any disability plan), until the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability.
          3.2 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of
 
1   3x employees
 
2   2x employees

 


 

Termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.
          3.3 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in Section 4, below, to the contrary, during the Term and upon the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the DB SERP in accordance with its terms as in effect on the date hereof, without regard to any amendment or termination of the DB SERP after the date hereof.
     4. Severance Payments Upon Termination of Employment Following a Change in Control.
          4.1 Subject to Section 4.2 hereof, if the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Term following a Change in Control, other than (a) by the Company for Cause, (b) by reason of death or Disability, or (c) by the Executive without Good Reason, then, the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 4.1 (“Severance Payments”) and Section 4.2, in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 3 hereof. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change in Control and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of such Person, or (iii) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (provided, however, that such Change in Control referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, actually occurs). Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of all amounts payable under this Section 4.1 shall be delayed, if necessary, until the Executive has incurred a separation from service under Code Section 409A.
               (A) In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the Executive, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to [ ]3 times the sum of (i) the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (ii) the Executive’s target annual incentive compensation
 
3   The relevant multiplier will range from two to three.

under any incentive plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination or, if higher, the fiscal year in which occurs the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Change in Control event does not constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Code Section 409A, then an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid under the Executive’s Employment Agreement upon a termination other than for cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by the Executive for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) had a Change in Control not occurred, shall be paid in installments for an eighteen (18) month period commencing on the first day of the month next following the Date of Termination and the remaining amounts payable under this clause (A) shall be paid in lump sum.
               (B) For the [       ]4 month period immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents life, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater after-tax cost to the Executive than the after-tax cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 4.1(B) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the Executive during the [ ] month period following the Executive’s termination of employment (and any such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive); provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the after-tax cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. If the Severance Payments shall be decreased pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, and the Section 4.1(B) benefits which remain payable after the application of Section 4.2 hereof are thereafter reduced pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall, no later than five (5) business days following such reduction, pay to the Executive the least of (i) the amount of the decrease made in the Severance Payments pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, (ii) the amount of the subsequent reduction in these Section 4.1(B) benefits, or (iii) the maximum amount which can be paid to the Executive without being, or causing any other payment to be, nondeductible by reason of section 280G of the Code.
               (C) Notwithstanding any provision of any annual or long term cash incentive plan to the contrary, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (i) any unpaid incentive compensation which has been allocated or awarded to the Executive for a completed fiscal year or other measuring period preceding the Date of Termination under any such plan and which, as of the Date of Termination, is contingent only upon the continued employment of the Executive to a subsequent date and (ii) a pro rata portion to the Date of Termination of the aggregate value of all contingent, cash incentive compensation awards to the Executive for all then uncompleted periods under any such plan, calculated as to each such award by multiplying the award that the Executive would have earned on the last day of the performance award period, assuming the achievement, at the target level, of the individual and corporate performance goals established with respect to such award, by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of full months and any fractional portion of a month during such performance award period through the Date of Termination by the total number of months contained in such performance award period.
 
4   The relevant period will range from twenty-four to thirty-six months and will correspond to the severance multiplier.

               (D) In addition to the benefits to which the Executive is entitled under each DC Pension Plan, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the amount that would have been contributed thereto or allocated thereunder by the Company on the Executive’s behalf in respect of the [      ]5 years immediately following the Date of Termination, determined (i) as if the Executive made the maximum permissible contributions thereto during such period, (ii) as if the Executive earned compensation during such period at a rate equal to the Executive’s compensation (as defined in the DC Pension Plan) during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if higher, during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (iii) without regard to any amendment to the DC Pension Plan made subsequent to a Change in Control, which amendment adversely affects in any manner the computation of benefits thereunder.
               (E) The Company shall provide the Executive with reasonable outplacement services suitable to the Executive’s position for a period of one year or, if earlier, until the first acceptance by the Executive of an offer of employment.
     4.2 (A) Whether or not the Executive becomes entitled to the Severance Payments, if any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive (including any payment or benefit received or to be received in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the Executive’s employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, excluding the Gross-Up Payment, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) will be subject (in whole or part) to the Excise Tax, then, subject to the provisions of subsection (B) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination (or if there is no Date of Termination, then the date on which the Gross-up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section 4.2), net of the maximum reduction in federal income tax which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.
               (B) In the event that, after giving effect to any redeterminations described in subsection (D) of this Section 4.2, the aggregate Total Payments do not equal or exceed 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount (as defined below), then subsection (A) of this Section 4.2 shall not apply and the cash Severance Payments shall first be reduced (if necessary, to zero), and the noncash Severance Benefits shall thereafter be reduced (if necessary, to zero) to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that the Executive may elect to have the noncash Severance Payments reduced (or eliminated) prior to any reduction of the cash Severance Payments. “Safe Harbor Amount” means the greatest pre-tax amount of Total Payments that could be paid to the Executive without causing the Executive to become liable for any Excise Tax in connection therewith.
 
5   The relevant multiplier will range from two to three years and will correspond to the severance multiplier.

4


 

          (C) For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, unless in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company’s independent auditor (the “Auditor”), such other payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. Prior to the payment date set forth in Section 4.3 hereof, the Company shall provide the Executive with its calculation of the amounts referred to in this Section 4.2(C) and such supporting materials as are reasonably necessary for the Executive to evaluate the Company’s calculations. If the Executive disputes the Company’s calculations (in whole or in part), the reasonable opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to the matter in dispute shall prevail.
          (D) In the event that (i) amounts are paid to the Executive pursuant to subsection (A) of this Section 4.2, (ii) the Excise Tax is finally determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment, and (iii) after giving effect to such redetermination, the Severance Payments are to be reduced pursuant to subsection (B) of this Section 4.2, the Executive shall repay to the Company, within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Executive), to the extent that such repayment results in (i) no portion of the Total Payments being subject to the Excise Tax and (ii) a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Executive’s taxable income and wages for purposes of federal, state and local income and employment taxes) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that (x) the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment) and (y) after giving effect to such redetermination, the Severance Payments should not have been reduced pursuant to subsection (B) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess and in respect of any portion of the Excise Tax with respect to which the Company had not previously made a Gross-Up Payment (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such excess and such portion) within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.
     4.3 The payments provided in subsections (A), (C) and (D) of Section 4.1 hereof and in Section 4.2 hereof shall be made not later than the fifth business day following the Date of Termination (or if there is no Date of Termination, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of Section 4.2 hereof); provided, however, that in no event shall payments be made later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Executive remits the related Excise Tax; provided, further, that if the amounts of such payments, and the limitation on such payments set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Executive (or, in the case of payments under Section 4.2 hereof, in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof, of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder

(or on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Date of Termination. At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations including, without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from Tax Counsel, the Auditor or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which are in writing shall be attached to the statement).
          4.4 The Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement, or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder. Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive’s written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require; provided, however, that in no event shall payments be made later than the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the fee or expense was incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive does not prevail on at least one material issue in the relevant dispute or other proceeding, the Executive shall repay any amount previously paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.4 in respect of such dispute or other proceeding within ten (10) days of the final resolution thereof.
          4.5 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent required by Section 409A, payment of the amounts payable under this Agreement shall commence no earlier than the earlier of (i) the first day of the first month commencing at least six (6) months following the Executive’s separation from service with the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) or (ii) the Executive’s date of death. During the six month waiting period, such amounts payable will accumulate with interest (at 120% of the rate provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B)) and be paid as soon as possible.
          4.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations to pay or provide any benefits, other than as required by Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, shall (1) cease as of the date the Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 5 and (2) be conditioned on the Executive signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, which is satisfactory to the Company, and the expiration of any revocation period provided for in such release. In addition, in the event the Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 5 herein, Executive shall repay the Company an amount equal to the payments made under Section 4.1 (A) herein (reduced by an amount equal to the total such payments divided by [ ],6 which the Executive acknowledges is adequate consideration for the general release provided pursuant to clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being the number of days remaining in the Restriction Period from the date of breach and the denominator being the number of days in the Restriction Period. Such repayment shall be made within ten (10) days of notice from the Company.
     4A. Vesting of Equity and Equity-Based Awards. If the Executive is employed by the Company through the date of a Change in Control:

          5.2 Confidentiality.
               (A) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (A) the Executive holds a position of trust and confidence with the Company and that his or her employment by the Company will require that the Executive have access to and knowledge of valuable and sensitive information, material, and devices relating to the Company and/or its business, activities, products, services, customers and vendors, including, but not limited to, the following, regardless of the form in which the same is accessed, maintained or stored: the identity of the Company’s actual and prospective customers and their representatives; prior, current or future research or development activities of the Company and/or its customers; the products and services provided or offered by the Company to customers or potential customers and the manner in which such services are performed or to be performed; the product and/or service needs of actual or prospective customers; pricing and cost information; information concerning the development, engineering, design, specifications, acquisition or disposition of products and/or services of the Company; unique and/or proprietary computer equipment, programs, software and source codes, licensing information, personnel information, vendor information, marketing plans and techniques, forecasts, and other trade secrets (“Confidential Information”); (B) the direct and indirect disclosure of any such Confidential Information would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage and would do damage, monetary or otherwise, to the

Company’s business; and (C) the engaging by the Executive in any of the activities prohibited by this Section 5.2(A) may constitute misappropriation and/or improper use of trade secrets in violation of the Michigan Uniform Trade Secrets Act, as well as a violation of this Agreement.
          (B) During the Term and at all times thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee, consultant, principal or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, publish or make known, disclose, furnish, reproduce, make available, or utilize any of the Confidential Information without the prior express written approval of an officer of the Company, other than in the proper performance of the duties contemplated herein, unless and until such Confidential Information is or shall become general public knowledge through no fault of the Executive.
          (C) In the event that the Executive is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Executive agrees to give the Company prompt advance written notice thereof and to provide the Company with reasonable assistance in obtaining an order to protect the Confidential Information from public disclosure.
          (D) The failure to mark any Confidential Information as confidential shall not affect its status as Confidential Information under this Agreement.
     5.3 Intellectual Property.
          (A) The Executive hereby assigns to the Company or its designees, without further consideration and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, the Executive’s entire right, title and interest (within the United States and all foreign jurisdictions), to any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, developments, works of authorship, concepts, ideas, plans, specifications, software, formulas, databases, designees, processes and contributions to Confidential Information created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by the Executive (alone or with others) during the Term which (A) are related to the Company’s current or anticipated business, activities, products, or services, (B) result from any work performed by Executive for the Company, or (iii) are created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice with the use of Company property, including any and all Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) therein (“Work Product”).

Section 101), shall be considered a “work made for hire”, the copyright in which vests initially and exclusively in the Company. The Executive waives any rights to be attributed as the author of any Work Product and any “droit morale” (moral rights) in Work Product. The Executive agrees to immediately disclose to the Company all Work Product. For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property” shall mean any patent, copyright, trademark or service mark, trade secret, or any other proprietary rights protection legally available.
          (B) The Executive agrees to execute and deliver any instruments or documents, and to do all other things reasonably requested by the Company in order to more fully vest the Company with all ownership rights in the Work Product. If any Work Product is deemed by the Company to be patentable or otherwise registrable, the Executive shall assist the Company (at the Company’s expense) in obtaining letters of patent or other applicable registration therein and shall execute all documents and do all things, including testifying (at the Company’s expense) necessary or appropriate to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any Intellectual Property Right relating to any Work Product. Should the Company be unable to secure the Executive’s signature on any document deemed necessary to accomplish the foregoing, whether due to the Executive’s disability or other reason, the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf and stead to take any of the actions required of Executive under the previous sentence, with the same effect as if executed and delivered by the Executive, such appointment being coupled with an interest.

     5.4 Non-Competition.
          (A) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (1) the Business (as defined below) is intensely competitive and conducted by the Company throughout the world; and (2) reasonable limits on the Executive’s ability to engage in activities which are competitive with the Company are warranted in order to, among other things, reasonably protect trade secrets and proprietary information of the Company and to maintain and develop the Company’s reputation, customer relationships, goodwill and overall status in the marketplace.
          (B) During the period of the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of [       ]7 months (the “Restriction Period”) following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, and provided that the Company is making the payments, if any, required under Section 4.1(A), subject to Section 4.6, the Executive shall not engage in Competition (as defined below) with the Company.
          (C) For purposes of this Agreement, “Competition” by the Executive shall mean the Executive’s engaging in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant or lender to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or permitting the Executive’s name to be used in connection with the activities of any other business or organization anywhere in the world which competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company in the Business; provided, however, it shall not be a violation of this Section 5.4(C) for the Executive to become the registered or beneficial owner of up to three percent (3%) of any class of the capital stock of a corporation in Competition with the Company that is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that the Executive does not otherwise participate in the business of such corporation.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” means the creation, development, manufacture, sale, promotion and distribution of vehicle electronics, transportation components, integrated systems and modules and other electronic technology and any other business which the Company engages in, or is preparing to become engaged in, at the time of the Executive’s termination.

          5.6 Injunctive Relief; Indemnity of Company. The Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach of Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which an award of money to the Company would not be an adequate remedy. The Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any reasonable threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to seek an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with the Executive. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, but not limited to, remedies available under this Agreement and the recovery of damages. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of this Section 5 are reasonable. The Executive agrees to indemnity and hold harmless the Company from and against all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be incurred by the Company in connection with, or arising out of, any violation of this Agreement by the Executive.

After a Change in Control and during the Term, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 9 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. A purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause shall not be treated as a termination for Cause hereunder unless, within thirty (30) days following the Company’s delivery of a Notice of Termination for Cause, the Company provides the Executive with a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and a reasonable opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

          6.3 Compensation During Dispute. With respect to any termination of the Executive’s employment during the Term and following a Change in Control, if within fifteen (15) days after any Notice of Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Date of Termination, the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive the full compensation in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, salary) and continue the Executive as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which the Executive was participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given, until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Term ends or (ii) the date on which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided, however, that this Section 6.3 shall be applicable in the event of a notice of dispute given by the Executive only if such notice is given in good faith and the Executive pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence. Amounts paid under this Section 6.3 are not in addition to other amounts due under this Agreement and shall be offset against and reduce any amounts otherwise due under Section 4.1 hereof.

          8.2 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive’s estate.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
     AGREEMENT, dated [      ], 2007 by and between Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [     ] (the “Executive”).
     WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of members of the Delphi Strategy Board;
     WHEREAS, the Executive is a member of the Delphi Strategy Board;
     WHEREAS, the Company wishes to secure the employment of the Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:
     1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
     2. Term. The Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement will commence upon the consummation of the Company’s Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Effective Date”) and will end on December 31, 2010, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on January 1, 2011 and each January 1 thereafter (each, an “Extension Effective Date”), the term of this Agreement shall be extended, without further action by the Company or the Executive, for successive periods of twelve months each, unless either party shall have given 60 days advance written notice to the other party, in the manner set forth in Section 14 below, prior to the Extension Effective Date in question, that the term of this Agreement that is in effect at the time such written notice is given is not to be extended or further extended, as the case may be (the period during which this Agreement is effective being referred to as the “Term”).
     3. Position and Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall serve in an executive position reasonably consistent with his or her current position with the Company or in such other position or positions with a level of duties and responsibilities consistent with the foregoing with the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates as the Board may specify from time to time. During the Term, the Executive shall have the duties, responsibilities and obligations customarily assigned to individuals serving in the position or positions in which the Executive serves hereunder. The Executive agrees to devote all of his or her working time and efforts to the performance of his or her duties for the Company.
     4. Place of Performance. In connection with the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Executive shall be based at the Company location or facility at which he or she is currently based, except for travel necessary in connection with the requirements of the Executive’s position; provided, however, that in connection with the relocation of all or substantially all the operations of the Executive’s principal business unit the Executive’s place of performance may be changed to the new location or facility of such business unit; provided further, however, that the Company may relocate the Executive’s principal place of employment in connection with a transfer of the Executive to a new position that in the Company’s reasonable, good faith belief, enhances the career opportunities of the Executive through additional responsibilities and management experiences.
     5. Compensation and Related Matters.
          (a) Base Salary. As compensation for the performance by the Executive of his or her obligations hereunder, during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at an annual rate equal to the annual rate in effect on the date hereof. Base salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices for executives, as in effect from time to time. The Board may conduct an annual review of the base salary and may increase such base salary in its discretion. Once increased, base salary shall not thereafter be decreased, except pursuant to across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting other Company executives. The term “Base Salary” shall refer to the annual base salary as in effect from time to time.

During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of the employee benefit plans and arrangements made available by the Company to its similarly situated executives, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in Section 9, below, to the contrary, during the Term and thereafter the Executive shall be entitled to participate in (1) the Company’s frozen defined benefit Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (the “DB SERP”) in accordance with its terms as in effect on the date hereof, without regard to any amendment or termination of the DB SERP after the date hereof and (2) the Company’s defined contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Program in accordance with its terms as in effect from time to time.

               (i) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (A) the Executive holds a position of trust and confidence with the Company and that his employment by the Company will require that the Executive have access to and knowledge of valuable and sensitive information, material, and devices relating to the Company and/or its business, activities, products, services, customers and vendors, including, but not limited to, the following, regardless of the form in which the same is accessed, maintained or stored: the identity of the Company’s actual and prospective customers and their representatives; prior, current or future research or development activities of the Company and/or its customers; the products and services provided or offered by the Company to customers or potential customers and the manner in which such services are performed or to be performed; the product and/or service needs of actual or prospective customers; pricing and cost information; information concerning the development, engineering, design, specifications, acquisition or disposition of products and/or services of the Company; unique and/or proprietary computer equipment, programs, software and source codes, licensing information, personnel information, vendor information, marketing plans and techniques, forecasts, and other trade secrets (“Confidential Information”); (B) the direct and indirect disclosure of any such Confidential Information would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage and would do damage, monetary or otherwise, to the Company’s business; and (C) the engaging by the Executive in any of the activities prohibited by this Section 12(a) may constitute misappropriation and/or improper use of trade secrets in violation of the Michigan Uniform Trade Secrets Act, as well as a violation of this Agreement.
               (ii) During the Employment Period and at all times thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether individually, as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee, consultant, principal or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, publish or make known, disclose, furnish, reproduce, make available, or utilize any of the Confidential Information without the prior express written approval of an officer of the Company, other than in the proper performance of the duties contemplated herein, unless and until such Confidential Information is or shall become general public knowledge through no fault of the Executive.
               (iii) In the event that the Executive is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Executive agrees to give the Company prompt advance written notice thereof and to provide the Company with reasonable assistance in obtaining an order to protect the Confidential Information from public disclosure.
               (iv) The failure to mark any Confidential Information as confidential shall not affect its status as Confidential Information under this Agreement.
          (b) Intellectual Property.
               (i) The Executive hereby assigns to the Company or its designees, without further consideration and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, the Executive’s entire right, title and interest (within the United States and all foreign jurisdictions), to any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, developments, works of authorship, concepts, ideas, plans, specifications, software, formulas, databases, designees, processes and contributions to Confidential Information created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by the Executive (alone or with others) during the Employment Period which (A) are related to the Company’s current or anticipated business, activities, products, or services, (B) result from any work performed by Executive for the Company, or (iii) are created, conceived, developed or reduced to practice with the use of Company property, including any and all Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) therein (“Work Product”). Any Work Product which falls within the definition of “work made for hire”, as such term is defined in the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section 101), shall be considered a “work made for hire”, the copyright in which vests initially and exclusively in the Company. The Executive waives any rights to be attributed as the author of any Work Product and any “droit morale” (moral rights) in Work Product. The Executive agrees to immediately disclose to the Company all Work Product. For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property” shall mean any patent, copyright, trademark or service mark, trade secret, or any other proprietary rights protection legally available.

               (ii) The Executive agrees to execute and deliver any instruments or documents, and to do all other things reasonably requested by the Company in order to more fully vest the Company with all ownership rights in the Work Product. If any Work Product is deemed by the Company to be patentable or otherwise registrable, the Executive shall assist the Company (at the Company’s expense) in obtaining letters of patent or other applicable registration therein and shall execute all documents and do all things, including testifying (at the Company’s expense) necessary or appropriate to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any Intellectual Property Right relating to any Work Product. Should the Company be unable to secure the Executive’s signature on any document deemed necessary to accomplish the foregoing, whether due to the Executive’s disability or other reason, the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as the Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf and stead to take any of the actions required of Executive under the previous sentence, with the same effect as if executed and delivered by the Executive, such appointment being coupled with an interest.
          (c) Non-Competition.
               (i) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (A) the Business (as defined below) is intensely competitive and conducted by the Company throughout the world; and (B) reasonable limits on the Executive’s ability to engage in activities which are competitive with the Company are warranted in order to, among other things, reasonably protect trade secrets and proprietary information of the Company and to maintain and develop the Company’s reputation, customer relationships, goodwill and overall status in the marketplace.
               (ii) During the Employment Period and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, and provided that the Company is making the payments, if any, required under Section 9(b), subject to Section 9(f), the Executive shall not engage in Competition (as defined below) with the Company.
               (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Competition” by the Executive shall mean the Executive’s engaging in, or otherwise directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant or lender to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or permitting the Executive’s name to be used in connection with the activities of any other business or organization anywhere in the world which competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company in the Business; provided, however, it shall not be a violation of this Section 12(c) for the Executive to become the registered or beneficial owner of up to three percent (3%) of any class of the capital stock of a corporation in Competition with the Company that is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that the Executive does not otherwise participate in the business of such corporation.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” means the creation, development, manufacture, sale, promotion and distribution of vehicle electronics, transportation components, integrated systems and modules and other electronic technology and any other business which the Company engages in, or is preparing to become engaged in, at the time of the Executive’s termination.
          (d) Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. During the Employment Period and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason the Executive agrees that he or she will not, directly or indirectly, for the Executive’s benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, do any of the following:
               (i) solicit from any customer doing business with the Company as of the Executive’s termination or within six (6) months prior to the Date of Termination, business of the same or of a similar nature to the Business;
               (ii) solicit from any known potential customer of the Company business of the same or of a similar nature to that which has been the subject of a known written or oral bid, offer or proposal by the Company, or of substantial preparation with a view to making such a bid, proposal or offer, within six (6) months prior to the Date of Termination;

7


 

               (iii) solicit the employment or services of, or hire or engage, any person who was employed or engaged by the Company as of the Date of Termination, or within 6 months thereof; or
               (iv) otherwise interfere with the business or accounts of the Company, including, but not limited to, with respect to any relationship or agreement between the Company and any vendor or supplier.
          (e) Injunctive Relief; Indemnity of Company. The Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach of subsections (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 12 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which an award of money to the Company would not be an adequate remedy. The Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any reasonable threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to seek an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with the Executive. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, but not limited to, remedies available under this Agreement and the recovery of damages. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of this Section 12 are reasonable. The Executive agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be incurred by the Company in connection with, or arising out of, any violation of this Agreement by the Executive.
          (f) Definition of Company: For purposes of this Section 12, the “Company,” as used above, shall be construed to include the Company and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limitation, any divisions managed or supervised by the Executive.
          (g) Survival: The provisions of this Section 12 survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for such termination, for the duration expressly stated in any such provision or, if no duration is stated, then indefinitely.
     13. Assignment; Successors. This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to the Executive and may not, unless otherwise specifically permitted herein, be assigned by the Executive. If the Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate. The Company will require any and all successors (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as herein before defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 13 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.
     14. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or (unless otherwise specified) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

  §   At least $750 million (net of OID) in a note with market clearing terms and covenants acceptable to Delphi to be raised from a third-party financing source prior to emergence. All cash proceeds from the 2nd lien financing to be paid to GM.2
 
  §   $750 million (net of OID), as reduced by any cash proceeds above $750 million as referred to above or as reduced below, in a note provided to GM having the same terms as provided in connection with the third-party financing. The 2nd lien credit agreement will provide that at any time that GM holds more than $500 million (net of OID) of the Notes that any matter requiring approval of less than 100% of the Noteholders shall require the following approvals to be effective: (1) if GM votes in favor of the matter, the approval of at least one-third of the non-GM Noteholders (determined by principal amount); or (2) if GM does not vote in favor of the matter, the approval of at least two-thirds of the non-GM Noteholders (determined by principal amount).

  §   Third party financing source (i.e., the initial purchaser or underwriter) will have the right, through the emergence date, to replace GM on up to $500 million (net of OID) of the note being provided to GM in which case cash in the amount of any such replacement shall be paid to GM and its note (net of OID) shall be reduced by such amount.
 
  §   If the 1st lien exit financing is greater than $3.7 billion (net of OID), an amount of cash equal to such excess (the “Excess Amount”) will be paid to GM as part of its recovery and the 2nd lien financing will be reduced by such amount (with at least 50% of the remaining 2nd lien financing allocated to the third party financing source), provided that the sum of (i) undrawn availability plus any open letters of credit up to $100 million pursuant to an ABL revolving credit facility and (ii) Delphi’s pro forma consolidated cash as of the Effective Date (excluding the Excess Amount and after giving pro forma effect to the $1.5 billion cash payment to GM

2   To the extent that the ABL revolving credit facility (to the exclusion of any other portion of the 1st lien exit facility) has a first priority lien on any assets and the term loan portion of the 1st lien financing has a 2nd lien, the notes subject to the 2nd lien financing shall have a third lien on such assets.

 


 

EXHIBIT E
     
in connection with the 414(l) transaction) (the “Liquidity Amount”) is at least $3.189 billion. In the event that the Liquidity Amount is less than $3.189 billion, then any Excess Amount shall be retained by Delphi up to the point that the amount of such Excess Amount retained plus the Liquidity Amount equals $3.189 billion and the remaining amount shall be paid to GM and the 2nd lien financing will be reduced by such amount paid to GM as provided above.
 
  o   GM shall not have registration rights with respect to the GM Note.
 
  o   Subject to the following sentence, the collateral and guarantee package for the 2nd lien financing will be substantially the same as that for the 1st lien financing.

  o   The GM Note shall be subject to a 6 month lock-up from the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization, provided however that, during such lock-up period, GM shall not be restricted from selling second lien notes if such notes are sold to investors at a price at least equal to par less any original issue discount (the “Threshold Price”), or below the Threshold Price, if GM makes a pro rata payment to the other holders of 2nd lien notes equal to the product of (i) the absolute difference (measured in basis points) between the actual price at which GM notes are sold by GM and the Threshold Price and (ii) the face amount of the 2nd lien notes held by others prior to giving effect to the sale of the GM notes.

Cooperation with Marketing
  At any time and from time to time after the six month anniversary of the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization (or sooner after such effectiveness if the anticipated sales of the notes shall be in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Exhibit F), upon the delivery of a notice from GM that it intends to market no less than $175 million in principal amount of the Notes with a proposed closing date no less than 20 days from the date of such notice, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions that GM may reasonably request as being required in connection with the marketing, sale or syndication of the Notes, including, as soon as reasonably practical, (i) assisting in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing material, and if the Notes are not then rated, rating agency material, (ii) making appropriate officers of the Company available for meetings and/or calls with potential lenders, and if the Notes are not then rated, rating agencies, at such times and places as GM may reasonably request, (iii) subject to reasonably satisfactory confidentiality arrangements, provide all information concerning the Company reasonably requested by GM for the successful marketing, sale or syndication of the Notes, and (iv) subject to reasonably satisfactory confidentiality arrangements, provide to GM the names, and contact details of, and the amount of Notes held by all other holders of Notes.

  Junior to the Company’s Series A-1 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Senior Preferred Stock”) with respect to any distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Senior to Common Stock with respect to any distributions upon liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the Company. The Company shall be permitted to issue new capital stock that is senior to or pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and other rights.
 
   
 
  While any bankruptcy event is pending: (i) there shall be no dividends or other distributions on shares of Common Stock or other securities that do not, by their terms, rank senior to or pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock (“Junior Stock”) or any purchase, redemption,

 


 

     
 
  retirement or other acquisition for value or other payment in respect of Junior Stock unless the Series C Preferred Stock is paid its Stated Value plus any dividends to which it is entitled in full; and (ii) there shall be no such dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions, retirement, acquisitions or payments on Junior Stock in each case in cash unless the Series C Preferred Stock has first been paid in full in cash its Stated Value plus any unpaid dividends to which it is entitled.
 
   
Conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock:
  Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time, without any payment by the Series C Preferred Stock Holder, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Stated Value divided by (ii) the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall initially be $45, subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Series C Preferred Stock (as so adjusted, the “Conversion Price”). The anti-dilution provisions will be identical to the anti-dilution protection afforded to the Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock.1 Any unpaid dividends to which the Series C Preferred Stock is entitled shall be paid upon any such conversion.
 
   
 
  Any Series C Preferred Stock held by GM or its affiliates that is converted into Common Stock shall be converted into shares of Common Stock which, so long as such shares are held by GM or its affiliates, cannot be voted other than with respect to (a) an NPIF Transaction (as defined below) and (b) a Change of Control Transaction (as defined below) in which the consideration to be paid for such shares of Common Stock held by GM or its affiliates is not (i) equal to or greater than $45 per share of such Common Stock (with such $45 per share consideration to be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock splits or stock recombinations effecting such shares of Common Stock) and (ii) paid in full in cash; provided, that upon the transfer by GM or its affiliates of such Common Stock to a transferee that is not GM or an affiliate of GM, the restriction on voting such Common Stock shall no longer apply.
 
   
Dividends:
  None, except that if any dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the dividends that would have been payable on the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued with respect to such share had it been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the record date for such dividend (“Dividend Participation”). At such time as the Company has declared and paid four consecutive quarterly cash
 
1   If a “Fundamental Change” occurs (i.e., merger, consolidation, asset sale, etc.) in which all or substantially all Common Stock is exchanged for or converted into stock, other securities, cash or assets, the Senior Preferred Stock has the right upon any subsequent conversion to receive the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets that it would have received if it had been converted immediately prior thereto. Series C Preferred Stock will also get this.

  dividends on Common Stock and paid the Dividend Participation in full on the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock shall no longer be entitled to Dividend Participation.
 
   
Voting Rights:
  The Series C Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except with respect to a Change of Control Transaction (as defined below) in which adequate provision is not made for the Series C Preferred Stock to be paid Stated Value and any unpaid dividends to which it is entitled in full in cash (an “NPIF Transaction”), it being understood that the making of the cash tender offer referred to in “Change of Control” below shall be deemed to constitute adequate provision being made for payment in full in cash; provided, that nothing shall prohibit the Series C Preferred Stock from being voted in any manner to the extent required by Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. With respect to an NPIF Transaction, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the votes that it would otherwise have on an “as converted” basis. Upon a transfer by GM or its affiliates of the Series C Preferred Stock to someone other than GM or its affiliates in which there is no automatic conversion into Common Stock, as provided below under “Transferability,” the Series C Preferred Stock will vote, on an “as converted” basis, together with the holders of the Common Stock, on all matters submitted to the holders of Common Stock.
 
   
Mandatory Redemption:
  So long as no bankruptcy event is pending, the Company shall redeem up to $1 billion of outstanding Series C Preferred Stock to the extent of the proceeds received from exercise, within the six months following the effective date of the Company’s plan of reorganization, of warrants to be issued to the existing Common Stock holders pursuant to the Company’s plan of reorganization. Any such redemption of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be by payment in cash equal to the Stated Value plus any unpaid dividends to which it is entitled.
 
   
Transferability:
  Upon any direct or indirect sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition (a “Transfer”) of any Series C Preferred Stock (other than a Transfer to an affiliate of GM or any Transfer completed at a time when there is a pending acceleration under the Company’s exit financing facility or any refinancing thereof), such Transferred Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price.
 
   
 
  The Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Series C Preferred Stock, or any interest or participation therein shall be subject to the same 90-day transfer restriction applicable to Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock.

3


 

     
Amendments:
  No provision of the certificate of designations for the Series C Preferred Stock may be repealed or amended in any respect unless such repeal or amendment is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in aggregate Stated Value of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock.
 
   
Registration Rights:
  GM shall be a party to the Registration Rights Agreement to which the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock are a party and GM and its affiliates shall be entitled to the same registration rights with respect to Common Stock underlying Series C Preferred Stock, which shall be deemed to be registrable securities, as are available with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock (other than with respect to the demand registration granted to holders of a majority of shares of Series B Preferred Stock). As a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, GM and its affiliates shall also be entitled to one demand registration (without the consent of any holders of the Senior Preferred Stock) in addition to the demand registrations after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3; provided, however, that any transferees of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock, other than GM or an affiliate of GM, shall not be entitled to such demand registration (but shall be entitled to piggyback rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to customary cutback provisions).
 
   
Change of Control:
  In a merger, consolidation or sale of the Company involving a change of control of the Company (a “Change of Control Transaction”), holders of Series C Preferred Stock may elect to require (the “Change of Control Put”) that such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock be redeemed by the Company for consideration, payable in cash and/or freely tradable marketable securities equal to the greater of (i) the consideration with a value equal to the fair market value of the Series C Preferred Stock and (ii) the Stated Value plus any unpaid dividends to which it is entitled. The Series C Preferred Stock may only receive payment with respect to its Change of Control Put if each holder of Senior Preferred Stock who has elected to exercise its redemption option in a Change of Control Transaction has first received payment in full in cash and/or freely tradable marketable securities upon exercise of its redemption option. The Company may not engage in any Change of Control Transaction unless adequate provision is made for the payment of the Change of Control Put in full. For the purpose of this provision, equity securities that are listed on a national stock exchange and debt that is registered, or 144A debt instruments which contain customary A/B exchange registration rights, shall be marketable securities.
 
   
 
  The holders of Senior Preferred Stock also have a redemption right with respect to a Change of Control Transaction (the “Senior Put Option”).

4


 

       
 
  The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, as consideration in a Change of Control Put, the same percentage of cash consideration as was paid or, but for the failure of the holders of Senior Preferred Stock to exercise the Senior Put Option, would have been paid to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock in connection with the exercise of a Senior Put Option; provided, that no holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to any cash consideration upon exercise of a Change of Control Put if such cash consideration would result in Series C Preferred Stock receiving more cash, in the aggregate, than would have been payable to all holders of Senior Preferred Stock upon exercise of their Senior Put Options (unless holders of Senior Preferred Stock are entitled to receive payment on the exercise of the Senior Put Option of 100% in cash, in which case there shall be no limit on the cash payable to Series C Preferred Stock with respect to a Change of Control Put).
 
   
 
  In the event of a Change of Control Put where all or a part of the consideration to be received is marketable securities, the fair market value of such securities shall be determined as follows:
 
   
 
   
    If the consideration to be received is an existing publicly traded security, the fair market value shall be determined based on the market value of such security.
 
   
 
   
    If the consideration to be received is not an existing publicly traded security, the fair market value (taking into account the liquidity of such security) shall reasonably be determined by the board of directors of the Company in good faith. If the holders of the Series A, B or C Preferred Stock object to the valuation of the board of directors, they may request that an appraisal be conducted to determine the fair market value of the consideration (taking into account the liquidity of such security). If such a request is made, the determination of the fair market value of the consideration shall be made by a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm selected by the holders of the Series A, B and C Preferred Stock. If such holders cannot agree on a mutually acceptable appraisal firm, then the holders of the Series A-1 and A-2 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and the Series C Preferred Stock, on the other hand, shall each choose one appraisal firm and the respective chosen firms shall agree on another appraisal firm which shall make the determination. The cost of such appraisal shall be borne by the Company.
 
   
 
   
    The determination of the fair market value of the consideration received in a Change of Control Transaction shall be determined within appropriate time periods to be agreed upon.
 
   
 
  If, in connection with any Change of Control, the Company (or the

5


 

     
 
  acquiring company) makes a cash tender offer for all outstanding Senior Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, for at least the Stated Value of such securities (plus any accrued and/or unpaid dividends to which such securities are entitled), then the Change of Control Put right shall be deemed to have been satisfied.
