Table of Contents

ARTICLE II

ELIGIBILITY AND ELECTION TO DEFER

2.1  An Executive designated by the Committee as eligible to participate in the Plan shall be eligible to become a Participant hereunder. The Committee has the sole and complete discretion to determine which employees of the Company or one of its Affiliates are eligible to participate in the Plan on a Year by Year basis. No person shall have a right to be designated eligible to participate, and the designation of an Executive as eligible to participate in one Year shall not obligate the Committee to continue such Executive as eligible to participate in another Year.
2.2  An Executive so designated by the Committee as eligible to participate in the Plan may elect to defer payment of all or a specified portion of such Executive’s Compensation otherwise payable to such Executive during or in respect of a Year and to have such amount credited to a Share Account hereunder in accordance with Article IV, subject to such conditions or limitations as may be imposed by the Committee.
2.3  The election to participate in the Plan shall be designated in writing at such time and in such manner as the Committee shall prescribe, and on an approved election form (the ‘‘Election Form’’) but in any event must be made before the applicable deadline for making a deferral election pursuant to Code Section 409A. Each such election shall include designation of the distribution date for amounts so deferred, subject to the Plan (including provisions for investment gains and losses on amounts credited under the Plan), and Committee procedures. Generally, a deferral election with respect to Compensation must be made pri or to the first day of the Year in which the services related to such Compensation will be rendered. In the case of an Executive who is first hired by the Company or an Affiliate during a Year, the Committee may permit such Executive to elect within 30 days after becoming an Executive to defer any unearned portion of such Executive’s Compensation in respect of such Year related to services to be performed after the date of such election, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(a)(7). Additionally, in the case of any Compensation that constitutes ‘‘performance-based compensation’’ within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(e), the Committee may permit an Executive to make a deferral election with respect to such Compensation until the date that is six months prior to the end of the applicable performance period, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(a)(8). A deferral election shall apply only with respect to the Year for which it is made and shall not continue in effect for any subsequent Year. A deferral election, once executed and filed with the Committee, cannot be revoked after the date specified by the Committee, but in any event (including if no such date is specified) cannot be revoked after the applicable deadline for making a deferral election pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
2.4  Subject to 2.7, each Election Form delivered to the Committee pursuant to this Article II shall be irrevocable. A Participant shall have no right to an allocation or payment in respect of the portion of the Compensation which a Participant elects to defer hereunder, other than to receive distribution in respect of such amounts when due pursuant to Article VI hereof, and subject to the provisions of the Plan (including provisions in respect of investment gains or losses).
2.5  Any Compensation deferred pursuant to this Article II shall be paid to the Participant at the time(s) and in the manner specified in Article VI hereof.
2.6  A Participant’s Share Account in respect of Compensation deferred pursuant to this Article II (but not any associated Matching Contributions) shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable at all time.




Table of Contents
2.7  To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and Committee procedures, a Participant may elect to make additional deferral elections with respect to amounts previously deferred under the Plan to further delay the relevant distribution dates; provided that the following conditions are met:
(x)  the redeferral election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which such redeferral election is made;
(y)  the first payment with respect to which such redeferral election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made based on the prior deferral election; and
(z)  the election must be made at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment pursuant to the prior applicable deferral election.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Participants to change their deferral elections under the Plan without meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 2.7 in a manner intended to comply with transitional relief rules promulgated by the Treasury Department under Section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE III

MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

3.1  Each Participant whose Share Account is credited under Article IV in respect of Compensation deferred pursuant to the Participant’s election filed in accordance with Article II for any particular Year shall be credited under the Plan for that Year with an additional matching contribution by the Company (‘‘Matching Contribution’’). The amount of the Matching Contribution for the applicable Year shall be an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Compensation deferred hereunder in respect of such Year and credited to the Participant under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.
3.2  Any vested amounts credited to the Participant’s Share Account in respect of Matching Contributions shall be distributed to the Participant in the same time and manner as the underlying deferred Compensation to which such Matching Contribution credit relates.
3.3  A Participant’s Share Account in respect of Matching Contributions shall be subject to vesting and potential forfeiture as specified in Article V.

ARTICLE IV

DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS

4.1  The Company shall maintain separate accounts on its books and records for the Compensation deferred by each Participant in respect of each Year, based on the election(s) each Participant has made under Article II, and for the corresponding credits in respect of Matching Contributions under Article III and/or dividends under Article IV. Such deferrals and contributions shall be credited under this Plan and deemed invested in Company Shares at the time and in the manner set forth in this Article IV, and the value thereof from time to time (including investment gains and losses) shall be determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, subsequently establish an alternate investment vehicle for purposes o f deemed investments hereunder, and may provide for the orderly transition from a Share-based investment account to such alternate hypothetical fund, including with respect to outstanding Participant balances in Plan accounts. Because amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as notionally invested in the designated investments, and, accordingly, credited with investment gains and losses on such hypothetical investments, the amount of the Participant’s final distribution under the Plan in respect of such deferred amounts may be more or less than the amount originally deferred.




Table of Contents
4.2  To the extent a Participant has elected to defer a portion of the Participant’s Compensation, and such election has been accepted by the Committee, the Company shall credit, as of the tenth business day following the date the Company pays, or would have paid, the Participant’s Compensation in respect of the applicable Year (such date of credit, the ‘‘Investment Date’’), the Participant’s Share Account with the number of hypothetical Shares equivalent to (x) the deferred Compensation otherwise payable to the Participant in respect of the applicable Year as to which such deferral election has been made by the Executive and accepted by the Committee, divided by (y) the then most recently determined Fair Market Value of one Share.
4.3  If the Participant’s Share Account is credited with deferred Compensation for any particular Year pursuant to Section 4.2, the Company shall credit on the corresponding Investment Date, such Participant’s Share Account for such Year with the number of hypothetical Shares equivalent to (x) the amount of any Matching Contribution corresponding to such deferred Compensation, divided by (y) the then most recently determined Fair Market Value of one Share.
4.4  The Company shall credit, as of the tenth business day following the date that any ordinary cash dividends are paid with respect to the Shares, the Share Account of each Participant who has elected to defer Compensation with the number of hypothetical Shares equivalent to (x) the product of (a) the per-Share amount of any dividend paid, multiplied by (b) the number of hypothetical Shares represented in the relevant Participant’s Share Account on the date such dividend is paid with respect to the Shares, divided by (y) the then most recently determined Fair Market Value of one Share. Any hypothetical Shares so credited under this Section 4.4 shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and distribution elections as apply to the underlying hypothe tical Shares to which such hypothetical dividend Shares relate.
4.5  The Participant’s Share Accounts shall be bookkeeping entries that will not represent any beneficial interest in any assets of the Company.

ARTICLE V

VESTING OF COMPANY MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

5.1  Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, hypothetical Shares credited to the Participant’s Share Account in respect of Matching Contributions shall be subject to a cliff vesting schedule, such that the hypothetical Shares credited under Section 4.3 shall vest in full on the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which such hypothetical Shares are first credited to the Participant’s Share Account, subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company and its Affiliates through the applicable vesting date. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant shall not be granted pro-rata vesting credit for service periods of less than one full year consisting of 365 or 366, as app licable, days.
5.2  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Change in Control or an Initial Public Offering occurs at any time prior to the Participant’s Separation from Service, the Participant shall become 100% vested in the Participant’s entire Share Account on the date of such event.
5.3  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event the Participant Separates from Service due to the Participant’s death or Retirement, or is Separated from Service due to the Participant’s Disability, prior to the applicable vesting date for hypothetical Shares credited in respect of Matching Contributions under Section 4.3, the Participant shall become 100% vested in the Participant’s entire Share Account on the date of such

  Separation from Service. In the event the Participant Separates or is Separated from Service for any other reason (other than death, Disability or Retirement) prior to the applicable vesting date for hypothetical Shares credited in respect of Matching Contributions under Section 4.3, all hypothetical Shares credited to the Participant’s Share Account in respect of Matching Contributions (including those credited in respect of corresponding dividends on those hypothetical Shares) which have not yet vested, shall be immediately forfeited without consideration.

ARTICLE VI

PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION

6.1  Subject to Section 6.3, vested amounts credited under a Participant’s Share Account shall be distributed no later than the earlier to occur of (i) 30 days following the date such Separation from Service occurs, and (ii) the applicable date that a Participant designates on the Election Form as the date of distribution for such amounts; provided that any such date must constitute a permissible time or event upon which a distribution may be made under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code. Vested amounts credited under the Participant’s Share Account in respect of Matching Contributions and/or dividends under Section 4.3 and/or Section 4.4 of the Plan shall be distributable at the same time as the underlying deferred Compensation, credited under Section 4.2 of the Plan, to which they relate.
6.2  Subject to Section 6.3, the total vested amounts credited to a Participant’s Share Account shall be paid in Shares (equal to the number of hypothetical Shares that have accumulated in the Participant’s Share Account pursuant to Article IV and, if applicable, become vested pursuant to Article V), unless such distribution occurs prior to an Initial Public Offering and the Committee elects to pay total vested amounts credited to a Participant’s Share Account in cash. If the Committee elects to make such payment in cash, the cash payment will be equal to (x) the number of vested, hypothetical Shares credited to a Participant’s Share Account subject to such distribution, multiplied by (y) the then most recently determined Fair Market V alue of one Share. The Company may pay such cash payment itself, or may elect to cause a Subsidiary or Affiliate to make such cash payment.
6.3  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, all vested amounts (including those that vest pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2) then credited to the Participant’s Share Account shall be distributed to such Participant in a lump sum, cash payment no later than 30 days following the date of the Change in Control. Such cash payment will be equal to (x) the number of vested, hypothetical Shares credited to a Participant’s Share Account, multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of the Change in Control. The Company may pay such cash payment itself, or may elect to cause a Subsidiary or Affiliate to make such cash payment.
6.4  Each Participant shall have the right to designate a beneficiary who is to succeed to such Participant’s right to receive payments hereunder in the event of the Participant’s death. Any designated beneficiary shall receive payments in the same manner as the Participant would have received the payments if the Participant were living. In case of a failure of designation or the death of a designated beneficiary without a designated successor, the relevant amounts shall be payable in accordance with Article VI to the Participant’s or former Participant’s estate. No designation of beneficiary or change in beneficiary shall be valid unless made in writing signed by the Participant and filed with the Committee on such form and in such ma nner as the Committee may prescribe from time to time.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1  The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated in whole or in part from time to time by the Board without the consent of any Participant or beneficiary; provided, however, that no amendment, shall operate retroactively so as to affect adversely any rights to which a Participant or beneficiary may be entitled under the provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to such action, without the affected Participant’s or beneficiary’s consent.
9.2  This Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles, except to the extent superseded by Federal law. Illegality of any provision hereunder shall not affect enforceability of any other provision hereunder.
9.3  Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall in any way be construed to give any employee or any other person any right to continue to be employed or perform services for the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to dismiss, discharge or terminate any employee or any other person at any time or for any reason, nor give any employee any right to participate in any bonus or incentive compensation program of the Company or any of its Affiliates. Nothing in this Plan or its operation shall constitute a promise or guarantee of Compensation.
9.4  This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns. The right of any Participant or any beneficiary to any benefit or to any payment hereunder shall not be subject in any manner to attachment or other legal process for the debts of such Participant or beneficiary, and any such benefit or payment shall not be subject to alienation, sale, transfer assignment or encumbrance.
9.5  All payments made hereunder to a Participant or such Participant’s beneficiary shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts by the Company as it reasonably may determine it is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law or regulation. To the extent such distribution is made in the form of Shares, the Company shall, unless otherwise instructed and satisfied by the Participant in a manner satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy the minimum statutory withholding obligations in respect of such distribution by reducing the number of Shares so delivered to the Participant. Additionally, to the extent that amounts deferred by a Participant under the Plan, or amounts credited to a Participant under the Plan in respect of Matching Contributions and/or dividends, are subject to Social Security or Medicare tax (collectively, ‘‘FICA Tax’’) or other taxes when such amounts are deferred or vest, the Company may (i) withhold for such taxes from the non-deferred portion of compensation (including base salary) payable to the Participant at such time, (ii) reduce such Participant’s Share Account in a manner specified by the Committee (and consistent with Section 409A of the Code) to pay the applicable FICA Tax withholdings and any additional Federal, state, local or foreign taxes thereon, or (iii) allow the Participant to remit to the Company, no later than five business days after the date such taxes are due, an amount in cash (payable by wire transfer or certified check) equal to the amount of such taxes due.
9.6  This Plan is intended to be a non-qualified, unfunded deferred compensation arrangement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give a Participant, a Participant’s beneficiary, or any other person any interest in the assets of the Company or create any kind of fiduciary relationship between the Company and any such person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.




Table of Contents
9.7  This Plan is an unfunded plan that is either not classified as an ‘‘employee pension benefit plan’’ or ‘‘pension plan’’ within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA, or is an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of ‘‘management or highly-compensated employees’’ within the meaning of Sections 201, 301, and 401 of ERISA, and therefore may be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA upon the making of certain filings with the U.S. Department of Labor.
9.8  For the purpose of this Plan, notices and all other communications provided for in the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth herein, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt:

The Committee shall implement the provisions of this Section 9.9 in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee, the Board, nor any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ employees or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to thi s Section 9.9, including any liability to compensate a Participant for the delay in payment (through payment of interest or otherwise).

Exhibit 10.10

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

This Settlement Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’) is entered into as of November 20, 2007 (the ‘‘Execution Date’’) by and between: (i) Dana Corporation (‘‘Dana’’), on behalf of itself and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the ‘‘Dana Entities’’); and (ii) Affinia Group Inc. (‘‘Affinia’’), on behalf of itself and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the ‘‘Affinia Entities’’). Each of the Dana Entities and the Affinia Entities may be referred to herein as a ‘‘Party’’ and collectively as the ‘‘Parties.’’

Recitals:

A.  On March 3, 2006 (the ‘‘Petition Date’’), Dana and 40 of its affiliates (collectively with Dana, the ‘‘Debtors’’) filed petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the ‘‘Bankruptcy Code’’) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the  ;‘‘Bankruptcy Court’’). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (collectively, the ‘‘Bankruptcy Cases’’) are being jointly administered under Case Number 06-10354 (BRL). On October 23, 2007, the Debtors filed their Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (Docket No. 6671) (as it may be amended, the ‘‘Plan’’) and a related Disclosure Statement, which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on that date.
B.  As of July 8, 2004, Dana and Affinia entered into that certain Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Purchase Agreement’’), which provided for, among other things, the sale of Dana’s aftermarket business to Affinia (the ‘‘Sale Transaction’’) for approximately $1.1 billion in cash, a Seller Subordinated Note in the face amount of $74.5 million (the ‘‘Affinia Note’’) from Affinia Group Holdings Inc. (‘‘Affinia Holdings’’) and other consideration. The closing of the Sale Transaction occurred on November 30, 2004 (the ‘‘Closing Date’’).
C.  On November 30, 2004, in connection with the closing of the Sale Transaction under the Purchase Agreement, Dana and Affinia also entered into that certain Spicer Trademark License Agreement between Dana and Affinia (the ‘‘Spicer Trademark License’’), effective as of November 30, 2004. The Spicer Trademark License, among other things, granted Affinia a non-exclusive license for the use of the ‘‘Spicer’’ trademark and the ‘&l squo;www.spicerchassis.com’’ domain name in exchange for potential future royalties. The term of the Spicer Trademark License currently runs through December 31, 2029.
D.  In addition to the Purchase Agreement, the Spicer Trademark License and the Affinia Note, Dana and Affinia (or their respective affiliates) also entered into various other ancillary agreements in connection with the Sale Transaction (collectively, the ‘‘Other Ancillary Agreements’’), including transition services agreements, other trademark license agreements, distribution and other commercial agreements and other typical closing agreements.
E.  As of the closing of the Sale Transaction, Quinton Hazell (‘‘Quinton Hazell’’), now owned by Affinia, was a foreign subsidiary of Dana. At the time of the closing, Quinton Hazell owed $533,743 as an intercompany obligation to Dana Spicer Europe, Ltd. (the ‘‘Quinton Hazell Receivable’’). Dana believes that, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Affinia owes Dana on account of the Quinton Hazell Receivable. Affinia has disputed this claim and asserted instead that the Dana Entities owe amounts in excess of the Quinton Hazell Receivable to Quinton Hazell.
F.  As part of the Sale Transaction, Affinia acquired certain real property and improvements located in McHenry, Illinois, where Affinia operates a Distribution Center. A portion of the property comprising this facility, consisting of approximately 12.39 acres identified as ‘‘Lot 63’’ (DOC 94R045165, PIN 14-10-202-002) in the McHenry Corporate Center and located in McHenry, Illinois (the ‘‘McHenry Property’’), was not transferred to Affinia and title to the McHenry Property remains in the name of one of the Dana Entities. Affinia asserts that Dana was required under the Purchase Agreement to transfer the McHenry Property to Affinia.

G.  In late 2006, Dana Canada Corp. (‘‘Dana Canada’’) transferred a workers’ compensation refund received from the Ontario Workers Compensation Board, totaling $351,760.00 (the ‘‘Workers’ Compensation Refund’’), to Affinia Canada Corp. (‘‘Affinia Canada’’). Dana believes the Workers’ Compensation Refund was transferred to Affi nia Canada in error and has requested its return.
H.  Affinia is in possession of certain trailers previously leased by Dana from General Electric Capital Corp. (collectively, the ‘‘Trailers’’). Title to the Trailers remains in the name of Dana. Affinia asserts that Dana was required under the Purchase Agreement to transfer title to these Trailers to Affinia. A schedule identifying the Trailers is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
I.  Affinia asserts that the Dana Entities were required to consent to the transfer of certain software licenses to the Affinia Entities. Affinia thus has requested that the Dana Entities consent to the transfer of certain software license agreements for PTC software from the Dana Entities to the Affinia Entities and pay the related assignment fee (the ‘‘PTC Software License’’). Dana has not agreed to pay the transfer fees relating to the PTC Software Licenses and does not agree that it is required to do so.
J.  Affinia asserts that the Dana Entities were obligated to, and has requested that the Dana Entities, pay 50% of the costs of the shutdown of Affinia Canada’s Burnaby, British Columbia warehouse, pursuant to Section 15.5 of the Warehousing Services Agreement, dated November 30, 2004, between Dana Canada and Affinia Canada. The Dana Entities have not agreed to pay the requested costs.
K.  Dana currently purchases certain products from Affinia on a purchase order basis. This supply arrangement was the subject of an Essential Supplier Agreement between Dana and Affinia dated August 31, 2006 (the ‘‘Essential Supplier Agreement’’), which includes commercial terms that will expire upon Dana’s emergence from chapter 11. In connection with this supply relationship and numerous other claims against Dana, Affinia filed Proof of Claim No. 11676 in the amount of $429,579.00 against Dana (the ‘‘Trade Claim’’). Dana consented to the allowance of the Trade Claim in a letter agreement dated August 30, 2006.
L.  During the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, in addition to the Trade Claim, the Affinia Entities filed certain proofs of claims against Dana and the other Debtors (collectively, the ‘‘Affinia Claims’’).
M.  Pursuant to an Order of the Bankruptcy Court dated February 23, 2007 (Docket No. 4813) (the ‘‘Sale Order’’), the Debtors sold the assets of their Engine Products Group to MAHLE GmbH (‘‘MAHLE’’). Pursuant to the authority granted in the Sale Order and the terms of the Agreement dated March 2, 2007 (the ‘‘Assignment Agreement’&r squo;) between certain of the Affinia Entities and the Debtors, certain of the Other Ancillary Agreements were either (1) assumed and assigned to MAHLE (collectively, the ‘‘Assigned Agreements’’) or (2) bifurcated by agreement of the parties and assumed (if the agreement was with a Debtor) and assigned in part to MAHLE (collectively, the ‘‘Bifurcated Assigned Agreements’’).

N.  Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, the Dana Entities expressly retained their rights to assume, assume and assign or reject the remaining portions of the Bifurcated Assigned Agreements not assigned to MAHLE, as set forth on Exhibit 3 to the Assignment Agreement (collectively, the ‘‘Remaining Bifurcated Agreements’’).
O.  As contemplated by the Assignment Agreement, on March 14, 2007, the Heavy Vehicle Technology Systems Service division of Dana and the Affinia Global Sales division of Affinia Products Corp. entered into a three-year agreement (effective as of May 14, 2007) for Affinia Global Sales to distribute commercial vehicle aftermarket products outside of the United States, Canada, Mexico and Mercosur region (as amended, the ‘‘Heavy Vehicle Aftermarket Agreement’’). The Parties have discussed certain potential changes to the Heavy Vehicle Aftermarket Agreement.
P.  On September 26, 2007, Dana filed with the Bankruptcy Court that certain Complaint against Affinia Group, Inc. and Affinia Canada, initiating Adversary Case No. 07-02059 (the ‘‘Turnover Action’’). By the Turnover Action, Dana alleged, among other things, that: (1) Affinia, Affinia Canada or one of the other Affinia Entities is in possession of tax refunds and/or credits received from the Canada Revenue Agency (the ‘‘CRA’’) and owed to Brake Parts Canad a, Inc., on account of the 1999-2004 tax years, in the approximate amount of $32,500,000.00 (in U.S. dollars) (as further defined in paragraph 3.a below, the ‘‘Tax Refund’’); (2) the Purchase Agreement provided that Dana would be entitled to the Tax Refund and required Affinia to remit any such Tax Refunds to Dana; (3) under the Purchase Agreement, the Tax Refund constitutes an excluded asset to which Dana is expressly entitled, and therefore the Tax Refund is property of Dana’s bankruptcy estate; and (4) Affinia, Affinia Canada or such other Affinia Entity holding the Tax Refund therefore is required to turn over the Tax Refund to Dana pursuant to section 542 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Affinia Entities dispute the allegations made by Dana in the Turnover Action and have expressed their intention to vigorously defend against the Turnover Action. Affinia further alleges that any claims it may have against Dana under the Purchase Agreement may be setoff against or recouped from the Tax Refund.
Q.  On October 3, 2007, Dana filed the Motion of Debtor Dana Corporation, Pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 6006, for an Order Authorizing the Rejection of Certain Agreements with AAG Opco Corp (n/k/a Affinia Group, Inc.) (Docket No. 6356) (the ‘‘Rejection Motion’’), seeking the entry of an Order authorizing Dana to reject (1) the Purchase Agreement, effective immediately upon obtaining approval of the Bankruptcy Court; and (2) the Spicer Trademark License, effective as of December 31, 2007. By the Rejection Motion, the Debtors do not seek to reject any of the Othe r Ancillary

  Agreements, and reserved all of their rights to assume, assume and assign or reject the Other Ancillary Agreements pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent such agreements are executory contracts or unexpired leases and have not previously been assumed and assigned in the Bankruptcy Cases. Affinia disputes the relief sought in the Rejection Motion. Among other things, Affinia has claimed that the Other Ancillary Agreements are part of an integrated agreement with the Purchase Agreement and the Spicer Trademark License, and all of these agreements must be assumed or rejected together. Affinia has expressed its intention to vigorously defend against the Rejection Motion.
