| 1) | | Eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, are eligible for $140,000; |
|
| 2) | | Eligible employees with three (3) but less than 10 years seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, are eligible for $70,000; |
|
| 3) | | Eligible employees with one (1) but less than three (3) years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, will be eligible for $40,000 (the “Buyout Payments”). |
Page 2 of 32
| c. | | Application Period |
|
| | | The application period, timing of retirements and buyouts and release dates, will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations. In no event will the application period extend beyond October 15, 2007. |
|
| d. | | Release Dates |
|
| | | The timing of retirements, Buy Outs and employee release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations, but no later than January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding this, Delphi is willing to work cooperatively with the IUOE to seek mutually agreeable operating arrangements that would facilitate the ability to address employees’ desires regarding release dates. Release dates will be in accordance with seniority by classification from an integrated list of eligible employees who have applied for retirement, placement in the pre-retirement program or Buy Out under Paragraphs B.1.a and B.1.b of this Agreement. Release will be offered to the most senior eligible employee in the classification first. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior employee in the classification will be released. |
|
| e. | | Release of Claims |
|
| | | All participants will be required to sign a release releasing all claims against Delphi and GM, except workers’ compensation claims and unemployment compensation claims. |
|
| f. | | Temporary Employees |
|
| | | As necessary, employees who have accepted a Buy Out may be rehired as temporary employees to satisfy any operating needs. Any employee rehired as a temporary employee will not acquire seniority or be eligible for benefits, but will otherwise be covered by the provisions of the IUOE 832S – Delphi Agreements. Employees who have been rehired as temporary employees will not be eligible for conversion to permanent status, and shall receive the starting wage rate applicable for a new temporary employee. Such temporary employees will not be eligible for any future attrition programs or payments related to such programs. Temporaryassignments will not exceed twelve (12) months without mutual agreement between Delphi and IUOE Local 832S. |
Page 3 of 32
| g. | | Selection of Option |
|
| | | An employee may only select one of the options described above for which they are eligible as of January 1, 2008. |
|
| h. | | Failure to Select an Option |
|
| | | Employees who do not select one of the attrition options for which they are eligible, will, when their services are no longer required, be laid off in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement with no Corporation-paid benefits except for vested pension benefits, if any, (as such no supplements are payable) and up to 25 months of health care coverage in accordance with the Exhibit C (Supplemental Agreement Covering Health Care) to the IUOE – Delphi – Rochester Agreement, unless the employee is eligible to retire and chooses to retire under the Delphi HRP. |
|
| i. | | The IUOE will continue to perform the bargaining unit work for which it is certified. This does not preclude the use of temporary employees as provided for in this Agreement. |
| 2. | | Buy Down Payment – Seniority Employees |
| a. | | Delphi and IUOE Local 832S agree that all seniority employees who are on roll (i.e. active, on temporary layoff or on an authorized leave of absence) on January 1, 2008 and receiving compensation (except for pre-retirement program participants and employees who have accepted one of the attrition options effective January 1, 2008 under Attachment C) will be eligible for a one time Buy Down payment of $10,000, less applicable withholding, in the first pay ending after January 1, 2008. |
|
| b. | | Such employees, whether they elect to receive the Buy Down Payment or not, will have their wages and benefits modified as follows: |
| 1) | | COLA in effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement will be frozen at that level through December 30, 2007. Employees who remain on roll will have such frozen COLA folded into their base rate effective December 31, 2007. Thenceforward, Paragraphs 95 through 95 j will be deleted from the IUOE Local 832S – Delphi Agreement, and there will be no COLA. |
|
| 2) | | Sickness & Accident (S&A) benefits, Extended Disability Benefits (EDB), health care, life insurance, and other applicable benefits will be reduced on January 1, 2008 to the levels described in Attachment D. The Individual Retirement plan will become effective as provided in Section D.2 of this Agreement and the Retiree Medical Account will become effective as provided in Section D.4 of this Agreement. |
Page 4 of 32
| 3) | | For all hours worked on and after December 31, 2007, the Corporation contribution to the Income Security Plan accounts of eligible employees will be reduced to $0.18 per hour. |
| c. | | Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release Form in order to receive the $10,000 lump sum payment. |
|
| d. | | These modifications will apply to any employees (except temporary employees) hired after the effective date of this Agreement. |
| 3. | | Separation Payment – Current Employees with Less than One Year of Seniority or Credited Service as of January 1, 2008 |
|
| | | Delphi and IUOE Local 832S agree that any employee (except temporary employees) on the active employment rolls as of the Effective Date of this Agreement who does not have at least one (1) year of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as January 1, 2008, and who is permanently laid off prior to September 14, 2011, shall be eligible for a non allocable lump sum severance payment equal to $1,500 for each month of his/her service with Delphi. The maximum amount of the severance pay is $40,000, less applicable withholdings. Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release form in order to receive the Severance Payment. The Parties agree that employees who are separated will sever all ties with GM and Delphi except for any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements are payable), if any. |
|
| 4. | | Any problems with the implementation of this Transformation section will be discussed by a representative designated by IUOE Local 832S and a representative designated by the Vice President – Human Resources – Delphi Corporation. |
| C. | | GM PROVISION OF OPEB |
|
| | | The Parties have agreed to a “Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB” (the “Term Sheet”) with respect to the cessation of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“OPEB”) for Delphi employees and retirees and GM provision of OPEB for certain Delphi retirees and eligible employees. That agreement is attached as Attachment B, and is incorporated by reference herein. |
Page 5 of 32
| D. | | MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING 2003 IUOE LOCAL 832S – DELPHI E&C – ROCHESTER AGREEMENTS |
|
| | | The IUOE and Delphi agree to the following modifications to the 2003 IUOE Local 832S – Delphi E&C – Rochester Agreements (signed March 24, 2004): |
| 1. | | Wages |
|
| | | Section III (General Wage Increase) in the Wage Agreement attached to the 2003 IUOE Local 832S – Delphi E&C Agreement will be replaced by the following clause: |
|
| | | “During the term of this Agreement, IUOE-represented employees at the Delphi Powertrain – Rochester plant will receive base wage rate increases calculated in the same manner and implemented at the same time as the base wage rate increases received by UAW-represented skilled trades employees at the Delphi Powertrain — Rochester plant. Concurrent with the implementation of each base wage rate increase, the table of minimum and maximum rates for each classification in Article IV.B. of the Wage Agreement attached to the 2003 IUOE Local 832S – Delphi E&C Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases.” |
|
| 2. | | Delphi Hourly Rate Employees Pension Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Pension Plan, Exhibit A of the IUOE Local 832S – Delphi Agreement will be eliminated or modified as follows: |
| a. | | Delphi will as of the first of the month next following the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law (the “Freeze Date”), amend the Delphi HRP so as to freeze benefit accruals for future credited service in the Delphi HRP, except as set forth in paragraph D.2.b.2 below. This freeze does not apply to the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| b. | | With regard to such amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, Delphi will cause the frozen Delphi HRP to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Delphi HRP and applicable law. These benefits will not be reduced from the levels in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date unless they are similarly reduced for other retired Delphi HRP participants. The IUOE agrees that Delphi reserves its right to seek termination of the Delphi HRP consistent with applicable law. In this regard: |
Page 6 of 32
| 1) | | Delphi HRP participants, who are retired as of the Freeze Date, will continue to be eligible for and receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi HRP participants who are participants in the Special Attrition Program – Transformation provided for in Attachment C of this Agreement (the “SAP-T”), and who are not retired or separated from service under the SAP-T as of the Freeze Date, will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to eligibility, vesting and future benefit accruals, as if there were no freeze, until the earlier of their retirement or separation from service under the terms of the SAP-T. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delphi HRP is solely responsible for all credited service for accrual, vesting and eligibility purposes for all Delphi participants in the SAP-T, including but not limited to participants in the pre-retirement program option. Further, all Delphi SAP-T participants will be eligible for and will receive full Delphi HRP benefits upon their retirement under the terms of the SAP-T, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. Delphi SAP-T participants are not eligible to participate in the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP and are not eligible to receive Delphi matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. |
|
| 3) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) above) who are eligible to retire as of the Freeze Date will, upon their retirement, receive from the frozen Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP. |
|
| 4) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) who become eligible to retire after the Freeze Date, when taking into account Delphi credited service and their age at retirement will, upon their retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP, |
Page 7 of 32
| | | including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 5) | | For the avoidance of doubt, Delphi HRP participants referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.3 and D.2.b.4 above, will, upon retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP in addition to any other applicable Delphi HRP benefits the: |
| a) | | full amount of the 30 & out benefit through age 62 and one month, or the 80% date for those born on or before September 14, 1945, including, but not limited to, the full Early Retirement Supplement, in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; |
|
| b) | | portion of the Interim Supplement (which is applicable in both 85 point and 60 & 10 retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date and age at the time of retirement; and |
|
| c) | | portion of the Temporary Benefit (T&PD and mutual retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date, not to exceed 30 years. |
| 6) | | For the avoidance of doubt, no Delphi HRP participants, including those referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.1 through D.2.b.4 above, will receive lump sum payments or any increase in benefits above the level of those provided for in the Delphi HRP as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, no new participants will be allowed to join the frozen Delphi HRP. |
|
| 7) | | Until the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down, pursuant to this Agreement will continue to receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to, eligibility, vesting, and future benefit accruals under the same terms and conditions in the Delphi HRP as prior to the buy down. During this period, such Delphi HRP participants will not be eligible for the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP or matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. As of the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down pursuant to this Agreement will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for eligibility and vesting purposes only. |
Page 8 of 32
| c. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, employees who are bought down, or who are hired on or after the effective date of this Agreement (except temporary employees), will be eligible for the provisions of the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP; |
| 1) | | Delphi will provide annual contributions equal to 5.4% of wages to each employee’s Individual Retirement Plan account. |
|
| 2) | | Accounts will accrue with interest credited annually at the 30 year U.S. Treasury Bond rate. |
|
| 3) | | Plan assets will be retained in a pension trust subject to vesting and portability provisions. |
|
| 4) | | There will be no provisions for supplements, temporary benefits or 30 and out retirement. |
|
| 5) | | Annuities with lump sum option(s) will be available. |
| | | All related Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the provisions above. |
|
| 3. | | Personal Savings Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Personal Savings Plan, Exhibit G, will continue to apply with the following modifications: |
| a. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, all employees who are bought down or hired on or after the effective date of this Agreement (excluding temporary employees), will be provided an employer match of 30% on up to 7% of employees’ eligible weekly pay. |
|
| b. | | Employees who are not eligible under the foregoing definition will not be entitled to any benefit. |
|
| | | All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above. |
| 4. | | Post-Retirement Health Care and Employer Paid Basic Life Insurance in Retirement |
Page 9 of 32
| a. | | Current employees and retirees eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with Attachment B |
|
| | | Employees who can attain eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM under the Term Sheet are not eligible to receive credits in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account described in paragraph D.4.b. below. |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions, related to post-retirement health care coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Health Care Program, Exhibit C and post-retirement life insurance coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Life and Disability Benefits, Exhibit B of the agreement between Delphi and the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO, Local 832S, will be eliminated or modified accordingly as of the effective date of the Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB (Attachment B). |
|
| b. | | Current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible for post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all new employees hired on or after the Effective Date of this Agreement |
|
| | | As of January 1, 2008, current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all employees hired after that date, will be eligible for the following: |
| 1) | | Upon retirement from Delphi, employees will be able to continue any health care coverages then in effect for themselves and any eligible dependents by paying the full cost of any coverages continued. Delphi will make such coverages available at “group rates”. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi will provide a Post-Retirement Health Care Account that can be used to pay for continued coverages. Delphi will credit each eligible employee’s account with $0.50 for every compensated hour during employment. Newly hired employees are immediately eligible for such credits on date of hire. For bought down employees, eligibility for such credits will commence with the buy down on January 1, 2008. |
Page 10 of 32
| 3) | | Hours for which employees will receive the credit generally include any time for which they receive pay, including straight-time hours, for such things as: |
i. Bereavement Pay;
ii. Call-in Pay;
iii. Holiday Pay;
iv. Jury Duty;
v. Overtime;
vi. Short-term Military Duty; and
vii. Vacation.
| 4) | | The Post-Retirement Health Care Account will also be credited with interest on an annual basis. The interest rate is that for the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond at the end of each year. Any interest will be credited based on the accrued balance at the end of each calendar year and will be recorded no later than May 1 of each year. This credit balance continues to accrue until the employee retires or dies, at which time all credits and interest will cease to accrue. |
|
| 5) | | At that point the retiree or eligible surviving spouse may begin to draw down the balance. Credits may only be used to pay for the cost of health care coverages continued through Delphi or health care coverages that are purchased on an individual basis or through another group. |
|
| 6) | | This credit balance has no cash value, may not be transferred and may only be used to pay for health care coverages. Delphi contributes cash to the account only when a claim for reimbursement is made. If an employee leaves Delphi without retiring, the balance will be forfeited. |
|
| 7) | | If the employee dies in retirement status, or after becoming eligible to retire voluntarily under the Delphi HRP, the employee’s eligible surviving spouse and eligible dependents will continue to have access to Delphi group coverages on a self-pay basis. Such coverages may be paid for using any remaining balance in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. |
|
| 8) | | A surviving spouse age 65 or older who is eligible, but is not enrolled for Medicare Part B coverage, is not eligible to draw upon the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. Coverages may be continued on a self-paid basis until Medicare Part B coverage is obtained. After enrollment in Part B, the surviving |
Page 11 of 32
| spouse may draw upon the account while Medicare Part B enrollment is maintained. |
| | | All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above. |
|
| 5. | | Independence Week (Appendix F of the 2003 IUOE Local 832S – Delphi E&C Agreement) |
|
| | | Independence Week Pay, any overtime premiums related to working on any day during Independence Week (except for the Independence Day holiday itself) and Additional Time Off related to working during Independence Week will be eliminated. Employees who are not scheduled to work during Independence Week shall have the option to use Vacation Entitlement hours, if available, or be granted an unpaid leave of absence for such period. |
|
| 6. | | Holiday Schedule |
|
| | | Delphi and IUOE Local 832S agree to adopt the same specified holidays as agreed to by General Motors and the UAW through September 14, 2011 (not including any paid Independence Week days except for the specified Independence Day holiday itself). |

| 8. | | Existing Agreements |
|
| | | The IUOE Local 832S – Delphi Powertrain (formerly Delphi E&C) – Rochester Agreements, as modified by this Agreement, shall supersede and control all agreements between the IUOE Local 832S and Delphi or any of its divisions. |
Page 12 of 32
| | | Upon execution of this Agreement by the Parties, any provisions of the IUOE Local 832S – Delphi Powertrain (formerly Delphi E&C) Agreements which are inconsistent with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been eliminated if no longer applicable as provided by the specific terms of this Agreement, or modified as necessary so as not to conflict with the agreements in this Agreement. |

|
| 11. | | Subsidized Discount Programs |
|
| | | IUOE Local 832S and Delphi agree that any provisions of the IUOE Local 832S – Delphi Agreements that require expenditures by Delphi for personal items shall be eliminated, such as, but not limited to, discount programs subsidized by Delphi, e.g., AOL.

|
| 16. | | Dispute Resolution |

| | | Disputes between the Parties on matters involving the application or interpretation of this Term Sheet will be reviewed by a Joint Committee consisting of one (1) member appointed by the IUOE Local 832S and one (1) member appointed by the Vice President, Human Resources Management, Delphi Corporation. |
|
| | | The Joint Committee shall meet as required. Delphi will provide information as necessary on any issues raised for discussion or resolution. |
|
| | | The Joint Committee will have full authority to settle all matters that are properly before it, recognizing that disputes governed by appeal procedures of the respective Benefit Plans, and other issues consistent with applicable law, may be outside the scope of the Committee’s authority. If the Joint Committee is unable to resolve a matter properly before it, it will refer the matter directly to arbitration, using the arbitration provisions contained in the IUOE Local 832S – Delphi Powertrain – Rochester Agreement. |
| E. | | SETTLEMENT OF ALL EMPLOYEE, RETIREE, AND UNION ASSERTED AND UNASSERTED CLAIMS |
Page 14 of 32

The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
| F. | | EFFECTIVE DATES AND BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS |

Attachment B
Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S) and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to |
Page 21 of 32
| | provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A. | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 22 of 32
| | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM. |
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, |
Page 23 of 32
| | that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | | | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $ | 2,900 | |
2. 28 years credited service | | $ | 2,850 | |
3. 27 years credited service | | $ | 2,800 | |
4. 26 years credited service | | $ | 2,750 | |
| | | Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation |
Page 25 of 32
| | | pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program. |
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the |
Page 26 of 32
| | “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by |
Page 27 of 32
| | | GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement |
Page 28 of 32
| | | between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM –
TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT
APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE PROCESSED
UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.

Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S), 101S and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GMMemorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM |
Page 1 of 5
| | represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 2 of 5
| | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM. |
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and |
Page 3 of 5
| | freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
The parties, by their duly authorized officers and representatives, agree accordingly this 31st day of July, 2007.

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $2,900 |
2. 28 years credited service | | $2,850 |
3. 27 years credited service | | $2,800 |
4. 26 years credited service | | $2,750 |
Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last
Page 1 of 5
day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program.
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against |
Page 2 of 5
| | the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement . In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all |
Page 3 of 5
commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters.
d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM – TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT
TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE
PROCESSED UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DELPHI RESTRUCTURING
INTRODUCTION
The International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO, Local 18S (“IUOE”), Delphi Corporation and General Motors Corporation (“the Parties”) have discussed the challenges impacting Delphi and its IUOE-represented operations. The Parties acknowledge that restructuring actions are necessary and commit to take specific actions to protect the needs of the Parties and their constituencies. To that end, the Parties agree as follows on a two-party or three-party basis, as applicable, (the “Agreement”) subject to ratification by the membership.
A. DURATION
| 1. | | The Parties acknowledge that the Delphi Thermal & Interior – Columbus operation is scheduled to be closed. |
|
| 2. | | The agreements comprising the modified IUOE Local 18S – Delphi collective bargaining agreements following the date of this Agreement are set forth in Attachment A hereto. |
|
| 3. | | Except as modified by this Agreement, the 2003 IUOE Local 18S – Delphi Agreements and all related agreements and understandings will be extended and remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on September 14, 2011, subject to their termination provisions. |
B. WORKFORCE TRANSITION
| 1. | | Transformation Program Options |
Delphi, GM and IUOE Local 18S, as applicable, agree on the following Transformation Program options. The Retirement Incentives and Buy Out are subject to the terms of Attachment C, and are generally described below. No retirement options will be afforded to any Delphi employee who was a temporary employee on or after October 8, 2005.
| a. | | Retirement Incentives – Employees Participating in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) |
Page 1 of 32
Delphi, IUOE Local 18S and GM, as applicable, agree to the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation for such employees who are participants in the Delphi HRP. Retirement options will be provided for eligible Delphi employees as described in Attachment C and summarized below:
| 1) | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements, retroactive to October 1, 2005 |
|
| 2) | | 50 & 10 Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) |
Provisions B.1.a.1 and B.1.a.2 will apply to employees who are eligible to retire by January 1, 2008. Eligible employees will be allowed to retire under these provisions when their services are no longer required, but in any event no later than January 1, 2008.
| 3) | | Pre-retirement program covering employees with at least 26 years of credited service, but less than 30 years of credited service as of January 1, 2008 as provided in Attachment C. Employees must commence the pre-retirement program no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| 4) | | These retiring employees will be considered to have transitioned to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“Check the Box”) as provided in Attachment C. |
|
| 5) | | Participation conditioned on release of claims |
b.Buy Out Payments
Delphi and IUOE Local 18S agree that employees who are active or on leave status will be offered lump sum buyouts to sever all ties with Delphi and GM except vested pension benefits (as such no supplements are payable) when their services are no longer required, but in any event no later than January 1, 2008. The amount of the Buy Out Payments shall be in a non-allocable lump sum, less withholdings, as follows:
| 1) | | Eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, are eligible for $140,000; |
|
| 2) | | Eligible employees with three (3) but less than 10 years seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, are eligible for $70,000; |
Page 2 of 32
| 3) | | Eligible employees with one (1) but less than three (3) years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, will be eligible for $40,000 (the “Buyout Payments”). |
c.Application Period
The application period, timing of retirements and buyouts and release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations. In no event will the application period extend beyond October 15, 2007.
d.Release Dates
The timing of retirements, Buy Outs and employee release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations, but no later than January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding this, Delphi is willing to work cooperatively with the IUOE to seek mutually agreeable operating arrangements that would facilitate the ability to address employees’ desires regarding release dates. Release dates will be in accordance with seniority by classification from an integrated list of eligible employees who have applied for retirement, placement in the pre-retirement program or Buy Out under Paragraphs B.1.a and B.1.b of this Agreement. Release will be offered to the most senior eligible employee in the classification first. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior employee in the classification will be released.
e.Release of Claims
All participants will be required to sign a release releasing all claims against Delphi and GM, except workers’ compensation claims and unemployment compensation claims.
f.Temporary Employees
As necessary, employees who have accepted a Buy Out may be rehired as temporary employees to satisfy any operating needs. Any employee rehired as a temporary employee will not acquire seniority or be eligible for benefits, but will otherwise be covered by the provisions of the IUOE 18S – Delphi Agreements. Employees who have been rehired as temporary employees will not be eligible for conversion to permanent status, and shall receive the starting wage rate applicable for a new temporary employee. Such temporary employees will not be eligible for any future attrition programs or payments related to such programs.
Page 3 of 32
g.Selection of Option
An employee may only select one of the options described above for which they are eligible as of January 1, 2008.
h.Failure to Select an Option
Employees who do not select one of the attrition options for which they are eligible, will, when their services are no longer required, be laid off in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement with no Corporation-paid benefits except for vested pension benefits, if any, (as such no supplements are payable) and up to 25 months of health care coverage in accordance with the Exhibit C (Supplemental Agreement Covering Health Care) to the IUOE – Delphi – Rochester Agreement, unless the employee is eligible to retire and chooses to retire under the Delphi HRP.
2.Buy Down Payment – Seniority Employees
| a. | | Delphi and IUOE Local 18S agree that all seniority employees who are on roll (i.e. active, on temporary layoff or on an authorized leave of absence) on January 1, 2008 and receiving compensation (except for pre-retirement program participants and employees who have accepted one of the attrition options effective January 1, 2008 under Attachment C) will be eligible for a one time Buy Down payment of $10,000, less applicable withholding, in the first pay ending after January 1, 2008. |
|
| b. | | Such employees, whether they elect to receive the Buy Down Payment or not, will have their wages and benefits modified as follows: |

|
| d. | | These modifications will apply to any employees (except temporary employees) hired after the effective date of this Agreement. |

D. MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING 2003 IUOE LOCAL 18S – DELPHI THERMAL & INTERIOR – COLUMBUS AGREEMENTS
IUOE Local 18S and Delphi agree to the following modifications to the 2003 IUOE Local 18S – Delphi Thermal & Interior – Columbus Agreements dated October 1, 2003:
1.Wages
Article 17, Article 18.A, Article 18.B. and all references to general wage increases in Article 40 of the 2003 IUOE Local 18S – Delphi Thermal & Interior Agreement will be replaced by the following clause:
During the term of this Agreement, IUOE-represented employees at the Delphi Thermal & Interior – Columbus plant will receive base wage rate increases calculated in the same manner and implemented at the same time as the base wage rate increases received by UAW-represented skilled trades employees at the Delphi Thermal & Interior — Columbus plant. Concurrent with the implementation of each base wage rate increase, the table of rates for each classification in Article 35 of the 2003 IUOE Local 18S – Delphi Thermal & Interior Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases.
2.Delphi Hourly Rate Employees Pension Plan
Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Pension Plan, Exhibit A of the IUOE Local 18S – Delphi Agreement will be eliminated or modified as follows:
| a. | | Delphi will as of the first of the month next following the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law (the “Freeze Date”), amend the Delphi HRP so as to freeze benefit accruals for future credited service in the Delphi HRP, except as set forth in paragraph D.2.b.2 below. This freeze does not apply to the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| b. | | With regard to such amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, Delphi will cause the frozen Delphi HRP to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Delphi HRP and applicable law. These benefits will not be reduced from the levels in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date unless they are similarly reduced for other retired Delphi HRP participants. The IUOE agrees that Delphi reserves its right to seek termination of the Delphi consistent with applicable law. In this regard: |
Page 6 of 32
| 1) | | Delphi HRP participants, who are retired as of the Freeze Date, will continue to be eligible for and receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi HRP participants who are participants in the Special Attrition Program – Transformation provided for in Attachment C of this Agreement (the “SAP-T”), and who are not retired or separated from service under the SAP-T as of the Freeze Date, will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to eligibility, vesting and future benefit accruals, as if there were no freeze, until the earlier of their retirement or separation from service under the terms of the SAP-T. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delphi HRP is solely responsible for all credited service for accrual, vesting and eligibility purposes for all Delphi participants in the SAP-T, including but not limited to participants in the pre-retirement program option. Further, all Delphi SAP-T participants will be eligible for and will receive full Delphi HRP benefits upon their retirement under the terms of the SAP-T, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. Delphi SAP-T participants are not eligible to participate in the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP and are not eligible to receive Delphi matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. |
|
| 3) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) above) who are eligible to retire as of the Freeze Date will, upon their retirement, receive from the frozen Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP. |
|
| 4) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) who become eligible to retire after the Freeze Date, when taking into account Delphi credited service and their age at retirement will, upon their retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP under |
Page 7 of 32
the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date.
| 5) | | For the avoidance of doubt, Delphi HRP participants referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.3 and D.2.b.4 above, will, upon retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP in addition to any other applicable Delphi HRP benefits the: |
| a) | | full amount of the 30 & out benefit through age 62 and one month, or the 80% date for those born on or before September 14, 1945, including, but not limited to, the full Early Retirement Supplement, in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; |
|
| b) | | portion of the Interim Supplement (which is applicable in both 85 point and 60 & 10 retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date and age at the time of retirement; and |
|
| c) | | portion of the Temporary Benefit (T&PD and mutual retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date, not to exceed 30 years. |
| 6) | | For the avoidance of doubt, no Delphi HRP participants, including those referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.1 through D.2.b.4 above, will receive lump sum payments or any increase in benefits above the level of those provided for in the Delphi HRP as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, no new participants will be allowed to join the frozen Delphi HRP. |
|
| 7) | | Until the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down, pursuant to this Agreement will continue to receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to, eligibility, vesting, and future benefit accruals under the same terms and conditions in the Delphi HRP as prior to the buy down. During this period, such Delphi HRP participants will not be eligible for the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP or matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. As of the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down pursuant to this Agreement will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for eligibility and vesting purposes only. |
| c. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, employees who are bought down, or who are hired on or after the effective date of this |
Page 8 of 32
Agreement (except temporary employees), will be eligible for the provisions of the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP;
| 1) | | Delphi will provide annual contributions equal to 5.4% of wages to each employee’s Individual Retirement Plan account. |
|
| 2) | | Accounts will accrue with interest credited annually at the 30 year U.S. Treasury Bond rate. |
|
| 3) | | Plan assets will be retained in a pension trust subject to vesting and portability provisions. |
|
| 4) | | There will be no provisions for supplements, temporary benefits or 30 and out retirement. |

All related Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the provisions above.
3.Personal Savings Plan
Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Personal Savings Plan, Exhibit G to the IUOE Local 18S – Delphi Agreement, will continue to apply with the following modifications:
| a. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, all employees who are bought down or hired on or after the effective date of this Agreement (excluding temporary employees), will be provided an employer match of 30% on up to 7% of employees’ eligible weekly pay. |
|
| b. | | Employees who are not eligible under the foregoing definition will not be entitled to any benefit. |
|
| | | All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above. |
4.Post-Retirement Health Care and Employer Paid Basic Life Insurance in Retirement
Page 9 of 32
| a. | | Current employees and retirees eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with Attachment B |
|
| | | Employees who can attain eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM under the Term Sheet are not eligible to receive credits in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account described in paragraph D.4.b. below. |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions, related to post-retirement health care coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Health Care Program, Exhibit C and post-retirement life insurance coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Life and Disability Benefits, Exhibit B of the agreement between Delphi and the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO, Local 18S, will be eliminated or modified accordingly as of the effective date of the Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB (Attachment B). |
|
| b. | | Current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible for post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all new employees hired on or after the Effective Date of this Agreement |
|
| | | As of January 1, 2008, current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all employees hired after that date, will be eligible for the following: |
| 1) | | Upon retirement from Delphi, employees will be able to continue any health care coverages then in effect for themselves and any eligible dependents by paying the full cost of any coverages continued. Delphi will make such coverages available at “group rates”. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi will provide a Post-Retirement Health Care Account that can be used to pay for continued coverages. Delphi will credit each eligible employee’s account with $0.50 for every compensated hour during employment. Newly hired employees are immediately eligible for such credits on date of hire. For bought down employees, eligibility for such credits will commence with the buy down on January 1, 2008. |
Page 10 of 32
| 3) | | Hours for which employees will receive the credit generally include any time for which they receive pay, including straight-time hours, for such things as: |
| i. | | Bereavement Pay; |
|
| ii. | | Call-in Pay; |
|
| iii. | | Holiday Pay; |
|
| iv. | | Jury Duty; |
|
| v. | | Overtime; |
|
| vi. | | Short-term Military Duty; and |
|
| vii. | | Vacation. |
| 4) | | The Post-Retirement Health Care Account will also be credited with interest on an annual basis. The interest rate is that for the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond at the end of each year. Any interest will be credited based on the accrued balance at the end of each calendar year and will be recorded no later than May 1 of each year. This credit balance continues to accrue until the employee retires or dies, at which time all credits and interest will cease to accrue. |
|
| 5) | | At that point the retiree or eligible surviving spouse may begin to draw down the balance. Credits may only be used to pay for the cost of health care coverages continued through Delphi or health care coverages that are purchased on an individual basis or through another group. |
|
| 6) | | This credit balance has no cash value, may not be transferred and may only be used to pay for health care coverages. Delphi contributes cash to the account only when a claim for reimbursement is made. If an employee leaves Delphi without retiring, the balance will be forfeited. |
|
| 7) | | If the employee dies in retirement status, or after becoming eligible to retire voluntarily under the Delphi HRP, the employee’s eligible surviving spouse and eligible dependents will continue to have access to Delphi group coverages on a self-pay basis. Such coverages may be paid for using any remaining balance in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. |
|
| 8) | | A surviving spouse age 65 or older who is eligible, but is not enrolled for Medicare Part B coverage, is not eligible to draw upon the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. Coverages may be continued on a self-paid basis until Medicare Part B coverage is obtained. After enrollment in Part B, the surviving spouse may draw upon the account while Medicare Part B |
Page 11 of 32
enrollment is maintained.
All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above.
| 5. | | Independence Week (Articles 23 B-F of the 2003 IUOE Local 18S – Delphi Thermal & Interior – Columbus Agreement, and any related references in Article 40) |

|
| | | Delphi and the IUOE Local 18S agree to adopt the same specified holidays as agreed to by General Motors and the UAW through September 14, 2011 (not including any paid Independence Week days except for the specified Independence Day holiday itself), with the understanding that the Local Parties are empowered to exchange a Scheduled Holiday for another mutually acceptable date provided the change does not adversely impact plant operations. |

Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S) and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to |
Page 21 of 32
provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B.
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 22 of 32
as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM.
| 7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
| 8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
|
| 9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
|
| 10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, |
Page 23 of 32
that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them.

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | | | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $ | 2,900 | |
2. 28 years credited service | | $ | 2,850 | |
3. 27 years credited service | | $ | 2,800 | |
4. 26 years credited service | | $ | 2,750 | |
| | | Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation |
Page 25 of 32
| | | pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program. |
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the |
Page 26 of 32
| | “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by |
Page 27 of 32
| | | GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement |
Page 28 of 32
| | | between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM – TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE PROCESSED UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.

Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S), 101S and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
|
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GMMemorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
|
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM |
Page 1 of 5
| | represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |

4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
|
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 2 of 5
| | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM. |
|
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
|
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
|
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and |
Page 3 of 5
| | freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
The parties, by their duly authorized officers and representatives, agree accordingly this 31st day of July, 2007.

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | | | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $ | 2,900 | |
2. 28 years credited service | | $ | 2,850 | |
3. 27 years credited service | | $ | 2,800 | |
4. 26 years credited service | | $ | 2,750 | |
| | | Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last |
Page 1 of 5
| | | day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program. |
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against |
Page 2 of 5
| | the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
|
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all |
Page 3 of 5
| | | commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM – TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE PROCESSED UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.

INTRODUCTION
The International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO, Local 101S (“IUOE”), Delphi Corporation and General Motors Corporation (“the Parties”) have discussed the challenges impacting Delphi and its IUOE-represented operations. The Parties acknowledge that restructuring actions are necessary and commit to take specific actions to protect the needs of the Parties and their constituencies. To that end, the Parties agree as follows on a two-party or three-party basis, as applicable (the “Agreement”)
| 1. | | The Parties acknowledge that the Delphi Automotive Holdings Group – Olathe operations are closed, and that Delphi no longer employs any Olathe bargaining unit employees. |
|
| 2. | | The Parties agree that the 2003 IUOE Local 101S – Delphi Agreements and all related agreements and understandings are terminated and are superseded by this Agreement, Attachment B hereto and the Delphi Hourly Rate Pension Plan as modified herein. |
|
| 3. | | This Agreement shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on September 14, 2011 |
| B. | | GM PROVISION OF OPEB |
|
| | | The Parties have agreed to a “Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB” (the “Term Sheet”) with respect to the cessation of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“OPEB”) for Delphi employees and retirees and GM provision of OPEB for certain Delphi retirees and eligible employees.

Page 1 of 13
| 1. | | Delphi Hourly Rate Employees Pension Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Pension Plan, Exhibit A of the IUOE Local 101S – Delphi Agreement will be eliminated or modified as follows: |
| a. | | Delphi will as of the first of the month next following the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law (the “Freeze Date”), amend the Delphi HRP so as to freeze benefit accruals for future credited service in the Delphi HRP. This freeze does not apply to the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| b. | | With regard to such amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, Delphi will cause the frozen Delphi HRP to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Delphi HRP and applicable law. These benefits will not be reduced from the levels in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date unless they are similarly reduced for other retired Delphi HRP participants. The IUOE agrees that Delphi reserves its right to seek termination of the Delphi consistent with applicable law. |
|
| c. | | Delphi HRP participants, who are retired as of the Freeze Date, will continue to be eligible for and receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| d. | | For the avoidance of doubt, no Delphi HRP participants will receive lump sum payments or any increase in benefits above the level of those provided for in the Delphi HRP as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, no new participants will be allowed to join the frozen Delphi HRP. |
| | | All related Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the provisions above. |

| | The Parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM pursuant to this Agreement and all attachments to this Agreement constitutes a substantial contribution to Delphi’s plan of reorganization, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of Delphi’s plan of reorganization, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the waivers and releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
|
E. | | EFFECTIVE DATES AND BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS |

In connection with Delphi’s prosecution of a motion to obtain entry of the Approval Order in the Bankruptcy Court, (a) Delphi shall use its best efforts to file a motion for approval of this Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Parties to be heard not later than the first monthly omnibus hearing at which the motion can be considered under the case management orders entered in the Bankruptcy Court, (b) Delphi shall provide, to the extent reasonably practicable, both the IUOE and GM with copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment on, all motions, applications, proposed orders, pleadings and supporting papers prepared by Delphi for filing with the bankruptcy court relating to court approval of this Agreement, and (c) the Parties shall support the approval of this Agreement in the Bankruptcy Court without condition, qualification or exception. |

Page 4 of 13
| | | Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising directly or indirectly from or in any way related to any obligations under the collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the IUOE and between GM and the IUOE related to such employees (provided, however, that claims for benefits provided for or explicitly not waived under the provisions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims for workers’ compensation benefits and unemployment compensation benefits against Delphi, its subsidiaries or affiliates, that are otherwise assertable under law) are not waived). |
|
| b) | | A plan exculpation and release provision (which provision shall be at least as comprehensive as the plan exculpation and release provision under the plan of reorganization for the debtor) for the IUOE released parties (which shall include the IUOE and each of their current or former members, officers, committee members, employees, advisors, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, agents and other representatives) with respect to any liability such person or entity may have in connection with or related to the Delphi bankruptcy cases, the formulation, preparation, negotiation, dissemination, implementation, administration, confirmation or consummation of any of the plan of reorganization, the disclosure statement concerning the plan of reorganization, this Agreement or the Agreements on Attachment A hereto or any contract, employee benefit plan, instrument, release or other agreement or document created, modified, amended or entered into in connection with either the plan of reorganization or any agreement between the IUOE or Delphi, or any other act taken or omitted to be taken consistent with this Agreement in connection with the Delphi bankruptcy. |
|
| c) | | This Agreement and the agreements referenced in Attachment A shall be assumed under 11 U.S.C. §365. |
| 4. | | Nothing contained herein shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IUOE and Delphi (except as provided for in Section E.3) or any commercial agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein be deemed to create an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party.

Attachment B
Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S) and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
|
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
|
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to |
Page 9 of 12
| | provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
|
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
|
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 10 of 12
| | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM. |
|
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
|
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
|
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, |
Page 11 of 12
| | that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DELPHI RESTRUCTURING
INTRODUCTION
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 663 (“IBEW”), Delphi Corporation, and General Motors Corporation (“the Parties”) have discussed the challenges impacting Delphi and its IBEW-represented operations. The Parties acknowledge that restructuring actions are necessary and commit to take specific actions to protect the needs of the Parties and their constituencies. To that end, the Parties agree as follows on a two-party or three-party basis, as applicable, (the “Agreement”) subject to ratification by the membership.
| 1. | | The Parties acknowledge that the Delphi Electronics & Safety — Milwaukee operation is scheduled to be closed. |
|
| 2. | | The agreements comprising the modified IBEW-Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Operations collective bargaining agreements following the date of this Agreement are set forth in Attachment A hereto. |
|
| 3. | | Except as modified by this Agreement, the 2003 IBEW — Delphi E&S Agreements and all related agreements and understandings will be extended and remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on September 14, 2011, subject to their termination provisions. |
| 1. | | Transformation Program Options |
|
| | | Delphi, GM and the IBEW, as applicable, agree on the following Transformation Program options. The Retirement Incentives and Buy Out are subject to the terms of Attachment C, and are generally described below. No retirement options will be afforded to any Delphi employee who was a temporary employee on or after October 8, 2005. |
| a. | | Retirement Incentives — Employees Participating in the Delphi Hourly Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) |
|
| | | Delphi, the IBEW and GM, as applicable, agree to the following Special Attrition Program — Transformation for such Delphi |
Page 1 of 32
| | | employees who are participants in the Delphi HRP. Retirement options will be provided for eligible Delphi employees as described in Attachment C and summarized below: |
| 1) | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements, retroactive to October 1, 2005 |
|
| 2) | | 50 & 10 Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) |
| | | Provisions B.1.a.1 and B.1.a.2 will apply to employees who are eligible to retire by January 1, 2008. Eligible employees will be allowed to retire under these provisions when their services are no longer required, but in any event no later than January 1, 2008. |
| 3) | | Pre-retirement program covering employees with at least 26 years of credited service but less than 30 years of credited service as of January 1, 2008, as provided in Attachment C. Employees must commence the pre-retirement program no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| 4) | | These retiring employees will be considered to have transitioned to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“Check the Box”) as provided in Attachment C. |
|
| 5) | | Participation conditioned on release of claims |
| b. | | Buy Out Payments |
|
| | | Delphi and the IBEW agree that employees who are active or on leave status will be offered lump sum buyouts to sever all ties with Delphi and GM except vested pension benefits (as such no supplements are payable) when their services are no longer required, but in any event no later than January 1, 2008. The amount of the Buy Out Payments shall be in a non-allocable lump sum, less withholdings, as follows: |
| 1) | | Eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008 are eligible for $140,000; |
|
| 2) | | Eligible employees with three (3) but less than 10 years seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008 are eligible for $70,000; |
|
| 3) | | Eligible employees with one (1) but less than three (3) years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008 will be eligible for $40,000 (the “Buyout Payments”). |
Page 2 of 32
| c. | | Application Period |
|
| | | The application period, timing of retirements and buyouts, and release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations. In no event will the application period extend beyond October 15, 2007. |
|
| d. | | Release Dates |
|
| | | The timing of retirements, Buy Outs and employee release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations, but no later than January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding this, Delphi is willing to work cooperatively with the IBEW to seek mutually agreeable operating arrangements that would facilitate the ability to address employees’ desires regarding release dates. Release dates will be in accordance with seniority by classification from an integrated list of eligible employees who have applied for retirement, placement in the pre-retirement program or Buy Out under Paragraphs B.1.a and B.1.b of this Agreement. Release will be offered to the most senior eligible employee in the classification first. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior employee in the classification will be released. |
|
| e. | | Release of Claims |
|
| | | All participants will be required to sign a release releasing all claims against Delphi and GM, except workers’ compensation claims and unemployment compensation claims. |
|
| f. | | Temporary Employees |
|
| | | As necessary, employees who have accepted a Buy Out may be rehired as temporary employees to satisfy any operating needs. Any employee rehired as a temporary employee will be not acquire seniority or be eligible for benefits, but will otherwise be covered by the provisions of the IBEW — Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Agreements. Employees who have been rehired as temporary employees will not be eligible for conversion to permanent status, and shall receive the starting wage rate applicable for a new temporary employee. Such temporary employees will not be eligible for any future attrition programs or payments related to such programs. |
Page 3 of 32
| g. | | Selection of Option |
|
| | | An employee may only select one of the options described above for which they are eligible as of January 1, 2008. |
|
| h. | | Failure to Select an Option |
|
| | | Employees who do not select one of the attrition options for which they are eligible, will, when their services are no longer required, be laid off with no Corporation-paid benefits. |
| 2. | | Buy Down Payment — Seniority Employees |
| a. | | Delphi and the IBEW agree that all seniority employees who are on roll (i.e. active, on temporary layoff or on an authorized leave of absence) on January 1, 2008 and receiving compensation (except for pre-retirement program participants and employees who have accepted one of the attrition options effective January 1, 2008 under Attachment C) will be eligible for a one time Buy Down payment of $10,000, less applicable withholding, in the first pay ending after January 1, 2008. |
|
| b. | | Such employees, whether they elect to receive the Buy Down Payment or not, will have their wages and benefits modified as follows: |
| 1) | | COLA in effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement will be frozen at that level through December 30, 2007. Employees who remain on roll will have such frozen COLA folded into their base rate effective December 31, 2007. Thenceforward, Paragraphs 68(a) through 65 (i) and the letter dated March 11, 2004 from Timothy A. Wilimitis to R. A. Middleton titled “COLA Calculation” will be deleted from the IBEW — Delphi E&S - Milwaukee Agreement, and there will be no COLA. |
|
| 2) | | Sickness & Accident (S&A) benefits, Extended Disability Benefits (EDB), health care, life insurance, and other applicable benefits will be reduced on January 1, 2008 to the levels described in Attachment D. The Individual Retirement plan will become effective as provided in Section D.2 of this Agreement and the Retiree Medical Account will become effective as provided in Section D.4 of this Agreement. |
|
| 3) | | For all hours worked on and after December 31, 2007, the Corporation contribution to the Income Security Plan accounts of eligible employees will be reduced to $0.18 per hour. |
Page 4 of 32
| c. | | Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release Form in order to receive the $10,000 lump sum payment. |
|
| d. | | These modifications will apply to any employees (except temporary employees) hired after the effective date of this Agreement. |
| 3. | | Separation Payment — Current Employees with Less than One Year of Seniority or Credited Service as of January 1, 2008 |
|
| | | Delphi and the IBEW agree that any employee (except temporary employees) on the active employment rolls as of the Effective Date of this Agreement who does not have at least one (1) year of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as January 1, 2008, and who is permanently laid off prior to September 14, 2011, shall be eligible for a non-allocable lump sum severance payment equal to $1,500 for each month of his/her service with Delphi. The maximum amount of the severance pay is $40,000, less applicable withholdings. Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release form in order to receive the Severance Payment. The Parties agree that employees who are separated will sever all ties with GM and Delphi except for any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements are payable), if any. |

|
| D. | | MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING 2003 IBEW — DELPHI E&S AGREEMENTS (Signed March 11, 2004) |
Page 5 of 32
| | | The IBEW and Delphi agree to the following modifications to the 2003 IBEW — Delphi E&S - Milwaukee Agreements: |
| 1. | | Wages |
|
| | | Paragraph 67 of the 2003 IBEW — Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Agreement will be replaced by the following clause: |
|
| | | “During the term of this Agreement, IBEW-represented employees at the Delphi E&S - Milwaukee plant will receive base wage rate increases calculated in the same manner and implemented at the same time as the base wage rate increases received by UAW-represented skilled trades employees at the Delphi E&S — Milwaukee plant. Concurrent with the implementation of each base wage rate increase, the table of minimum and maximum rates for each classification in Section IV of the Wage Agreement attached to the 2003 IBEW — Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases. Similarly, the Apprentice Rate Schedule in Section XIII of the Apprentice Agreement attached to the 2003 IBEW — Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases.” |
|
| 2. | | Delphi Hourly Rate Employees Pension Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Pension Plan, Exhibit A of the Agreement between Delphi and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, Local 663 will be eliminated or modified as follows: |
| a. | | Delphi will as of the first of the month next following the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law (the “Freeze Date”), amend the Delphi HRP so as to freeze benefit accruals for future credited service in the Delphi HRP, except as set forth in paragraph D.2.b.2 below. This freeze does not apply to the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| b. | | With regard to such amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, Delphi will cause the frozen Delphi HRP to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Delphi HRP and applicable law. These benefits will not be reduced from the levels in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date unless they are similarly reduced for other retired Delphi HRP participants. The IBEW agrees that Delphi reserves its right to seek termination of the Delphi HRP consistent with applicable law. In this regard: |
Page 6 of 32
| 1) | | Delphi HRP participants, who are retired as of the Freeze Date, will continue to be eligible for and receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi HRP participants who are participants in the Special Attrition Program — Transformation provided for in Attachment B of this Agreement (the “SAP-T”), and who are not retired or separated from service under the SAP-T as of the Freeze Date, will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to eligibility, vesting and future benefit accruals, as if there were no freeze, until the earlier of their retirement or separation from service under the terms of the SAP-T. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delphi HRP is solely responsible for all credited service for accrual, vesting and eligibility purposes for all Delphi participants in the SAP-T, including but not limited to participants in the pre-retirement program option. Further, all Delphi SAP-T participants will be eligible for and will receive full Delphi HRP benefits upon their retirement under the terms of the SAP-T, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. Delphi SAP-T participants are not eligible to participate in the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP and are not eligible to receive Delphi matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. |
|
| 3) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) above) who are eligible to retire as of the Freeze Date will, upon their retirement, receive from the frozen Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP. |
|
| 4) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) who become eligible to retire after the Freeze Date, when taking into account Delphi credited service and their age at retirement will, upon their retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP under |
Page 7 of 32
| | | the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 5) | | For the avoidance of doubt, Delphi HRP participants referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.3 and D.2.b.4 above, will, upon retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP in addition to any other applicable Delphi HRP benefits the: |
| a) | | full amount of the 30 & out benefit through age 62 and one month, or the 80% date for those born on or before September 14, 1945, including, but not limited to, the full Early Retirement Supplement, in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; |
|
| b) | | portion of the Interim Supplement (which is applicable in both 85 point and 60 & 10 retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date and age at the time of retirement; and |
|
| c) | | portion of the Temporary Benefit (T&PD and mutual retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date, not to exceed 30 years. |
| 6) | | For the avoidance of doubt, no Delphi HRP participants, including those referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.1 through D.2.b.4 above, will receive lump sum payments or any increase in benefits above the level of those provided for in the Delphi HRP as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, no new participants will be allowed to join the frozen Delphi HRP. |
|
| 7) | | Until the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down, pursuant to this Agreement will continue to receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to, eligibility, vesting, and future benefit accruals under the same terms and conditions in the Delphi HRP as prior to the buy down. During this period, such Delphi HRP participants will not be eligible for the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP or matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. As of the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down pursuant to this Agreement will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for eligibility and vesting purposes only. |
| c. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, employees who are bought down, or who are hired on or after the effective date of this |
Page 8 of 32
| | | Agreement (except temporary employees), will be eligible for the provisions of the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP; |
| 1) | | Delphi will provide annual contributions equal to 5.4% of wages to each employee’s Individual Retirement Plan account. |
|
| 2) | | Accounts will accrue with interest credited annually at the 30 year U.S. Treasury Bond rate. |
|
| 3) | | Plan assets will be retained in a pension trust subject to vesting and portability provisions. |
|
| 4) | | There will be no provisions for supplements, temporary benefits or 30 and out retirement. |
|
| 5) | | Annuities with lump sum option(s) will be available. |
| | | All related Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the provisions above. |
|
| 3. | | Personal Savings Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Personal Savings Plan, Exhibit G, will continue to apply with the following modifications: |
| a. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, all employees who are bought down or hired on or after the effective date of this Agreement (excluding temporary employees), will be provided an employer match of 30% on up to 7% of employees’ eligible weekly pay. |
|
| b. | | Employees who are not eligible under the foregoing definition will not be entitled to any benefit. |
|
| | | All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above. |
| 4. | | Post-Retirement Health Care and Employer Paid Basic Life Insurance in Retirement |
| a. | | Current employees and retirees eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with Attachment B |
Page 9 of 32
| | | Employees who can attain eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM under the Term Sheet are not eligible to receive credits in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account described in paragraph D.4.b. below. |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions, related to post-retirement health care coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Health Care Program, Exhibit C and post-retirement life insurance coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Life and Disability Benefits, Exhibit B of the agreement between Delphi and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers will be eliminated or modified accordingly as of the effective date of the Term Sheet — Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB (Attachment B). |
|
| b. | | Current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible for post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all new employees hired on or after the Effective Date of this Agreement |
|
| | | As of January 1, 2008, current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all employees hired after the date, will be eligible for the following: |
| 1) | | Upon retirement from Delphi, employees will be able to continue any health care coverages then in effect for themselves and any eligible dependents by paying the full cost of any coverages continued. Delphi will make such coverages available at “group rates”. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi will provide a Post-Retirement Health Care Account that can be used to pay for continued coverages. Delphi will credit each eligible employee’s account with $0.50 for every compensated hour during employment. Newly hired employees are immediately eligible for such credits on date of hire. For bought down employees, eligibility for such credits will commence with the buy down on January 1, 2008. |
|
| 3) | | Hours for which employees will receive the credit generally include any time for which they receive pay, including straight- time hours, for such things as: |
Page 10 of 32
| i. | | Bereavement Pay; |
|
| ii. | | Call-in Pay; |
|
| iii. | | Holiday Pay; |
|
| iv. | | Jury Duty; |
|
| v. | | Overtime; |
|
| vi. | | Short-term Military Duty; and |
|
| vii. | | Vacation. |
| 4) | | The Post-Retirement Health Care Account will also be credited with interest on an annual basis. The interest rate is that for the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond at the end of each year. Any interest will be credited based on the accrued balance at the end of each calendar year and will be recorded no later than May 1 of each year. This credit balance continues to accrue until the employee retires or dies, at which time all credits and interest will cease to accrue. |
|
| 5) | | At that point the retiree or eligible surviving spouse may begin to draw down the balance. Credits may only be used to pay for the cost of health care coverages continued through Delphi or health care coverages that are purchased on an individual basis or through another group. |
|
| 6) | | This credit balance has no cash value, may not be transferred and may only be used to pay for health care coverages. Delphi contributes cash to the account only when a claim for reimbursement is made. If an employee leaves Delphi without retiring, the balance will be forfeited. |
|
| 7) | | If the employee dies in retirement status, or after becoming eligible to retire voluntarily under the Delphi HRP, the employee’s eligible surviving spouse and eligible dependents will continue to have access to Delphi group coverages on a self-pay basis. Such coverages may be paid for using any remaining balance in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. |
|
| 8) | | A surviving spouse age 65 or older who is eligible, but is not enrolled for Medicare Part B coverage, is not eligible to draw upon the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. Coverages may be continued on a self-paid basis until Medicare Part B coverage is obtained. After enrollment in Part B, the surviving spouse may draw upon the account while Medicare Part B enrollment is maintained. |
Page 11 of 32
| | | All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above. |

|
| | | Delphi and the IBEW agree to adopt the same specified holidays as agreed to by General Motors and the UAW through September 14, 2011 (not including any paid Independence Week days except for the specified Independence Day holiday itself). |

| 3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to |
Page 21 of 32
| | | provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
|
| 4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10, 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
| 5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
|
| 6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 22 of 32
| | | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM - represented hourly retirees of GM. |
|
| 7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
| 8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
|
| 9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
|
| 10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, |

The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program -Transformation
| 1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program — Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | | | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $ | 2,900 | |
2. 28 years credited service | | $ | 2,850 | |
3. 27 years credited service | | $ | 2,800 | |
4. 26 years credited service | | $ | 2,750 | |
| | | Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the |
Page 25 of 32
| | | commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program. |
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program — Transformation. |
| 2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. |
Page 26 of 32
| | | General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
|
| 3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume |
Page 27 of 32
| | | and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy |
Page 28 of 32
| | | Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM — TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE PROCESSED UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.

Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S), 101S and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
|
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GMMemorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
|
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM |
Page 1 of 5
| | represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
|
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 2 of 5
| | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM. |
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
|
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
|
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and |
Page 3 of 5
| | freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
The parties, by their duly authorized officers and representatives, agree accordingly this 31st day of July, 2007.

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | | | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $ | 2,900 | |
2. 28 years credited service | | $ | 2,850 | |
3. 27 years credited service | | $ | 2,800 | |
4. 26 years credited service | | $ | 2,750 | |
Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last
Page 1 of 5
day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program.
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against |
Page 2 of 5
| | the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all |
Page 3 of 5
| | | commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM – TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY
COURT APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE PROCESSED UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.

The parties, by their duly authorized officers and representatives, agree accordingly this 31st day of July 2007.

IBEW – DELPHI POWERTRAIN – GM
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DELPHI RESTRUCTURING
INTRODUCTION
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 663 (“IBEW”), Delphi Corporation and General Motors Corporation (“the Parties”) have discussed the challenges impacting Delphi and its IBEW-represented operations. The Parties acknowledge that restructuring actions are necessary and commit to take specific actions to protect the needs of the Parties and their constituencies. To that end, the Parties agree as follows on a two-party or three-party basis, as applicable, (the “Agreement”) subject to ratification by the membership.
| 1. | | The Parties acknowledge that the Delphi Powertrain – Milwaukee operation is scheduled to be closed. |
|
| 2. | | The agreements comprising the modified IBEW-Delphi Powertrain – Milwaukee Operations collective bargaining agreements following the date of this Agreement are set forth in Attachment A hereto. |
|
| 3. | | Except as modified by this Agreement, the existing 2003 IBEW – Delphi Powertrain (formerly Delphi E&C) – Milwaukee Operations Agreements and all related agreements and understandings will be extended and remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on September 14, 2011, subject to their termination provisions. |
| 1. | | Transformation Program Options |
|
| | | Delphi, GM and the IBEW, as applicable, agree on the following Transformation Program options. The Retirement Incentives and Buy Out are subject to the terms of Attachment C, and are generally described below. No retirement options will be afforded to any Delphi employee who was a temporary employee on or after October 8, 2005. |
| a. | | Retirement Incentives – Employees Participating in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) |
Page 1 of 32
| | | Delphi, the IAM and GM, as applicable, agree to the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation for such employees who are participants in the Delphi HRP. Retirement options will be provided for eligible Delphi employees as described in Attachment C and summarized below: |
| 1) | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements, retroactive to October 1, 2005 |
|
| 2) | | 50 & 10 Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) |
| | | Provisions B.1.a.1 and B.1.a.2 will apply to employees who are eligible to retire by January 1, 2008. Eligible employees will be allowed to retire under these provisions when their services are no longer required, but in any event no later than January 1, 2008. |
| 3) | | Pre-retirement program covering employees with at least 26 years of credited service but less than 30 years of credited service as of January 1, 2008, as provided in Attachment C. Employees must commence the pre-retirement program no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| 4) | | These retiring employees will be considered to have transitioned to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“Check the Box”) as provided in Attachment C. |
|
| 5) | | Participation conditioned on release of claims |
| b. | | Buy Out Payments |
|
| | | Delphi and the IBEW agree that employees who are active or on leave status will be offered lump sum buyouts to sever all ties with Delphi and GM except vested pension benefits (as such no supplements are payable) when their services are no longer required., but in any event no later than January 1, 2008. The amount of the Buy Out Payments shall be in a non-allocable lump sum, less withholdings, as follows: |
| 1) | | Eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, are eligible for $140,000; |
|
| 2) | | Eligible employees with three (3) but less than 10 years seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, are eligible for $70,000; |
Page 2 of 32
| 3) | | Eligible employees with one (1) but less than three (3) years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008, will be eligible for $40,000 (the “Buyout Payments”). |
| c. | | Application Period |
|
| | | The application period, timing of retirements and buyouts, and release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations. In no event will the application period extend beyond October 15, 2007. |
|
| d. | | Release Dates |
|
| | | The timing of retirements, Buy Outs and employee release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations, but no later than January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding this, Delphi is willing to work cooperatively with the IBEW to seek mutually agreeable operating arrangements that would facilitate the ability to address employees’ desires regarding release dates. Release dates will be in accordance with seniority by classification from an integrated list of eligible employees who have applied for retirement, placement in the pre-retirement program or Buy Out under Paragraphs B.1.a and B.1.b of this Agreement. Release will be offered to the most senior eligible employee in the classification first. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior employee in the classification will be released. |
|
| e. | | Release of Claims |
|
| | | All participants will be required to sign a release releasing all claims against Delphi and GM, except workers’ compensation claims and unemployment compensation claims. |
|
| f. | | Temporary Employees |
|
| | | As necessary, employees who have accepted a Buy Out may be rehired as temporary employees to satisfy any operating needs. Any employee rehired as a temporary employee will be not acquire seniority or be eligible for benefits, but will otherwise be covered by the provisions of the IBEW – Delphi Powertrain – Milwaukee Agreements. Employees who have been rehired as temporary employees will not be eligible for conversion to permanent status, and shall receive the starting wage rate applicable for a new temporary employee. Such temporary employees will not be |
Page 3 of 32
| | | eligible for any future attrition programs or payments related to such programs. |
|
| g. | | Selection of Option |
|
| | | An employee may only select one of the options described above for which they are eligible as of January 1, 2008. |
|
| h. | | Failure to Select an Option |
|
| | | Employees who do not select one of the attrition options for which they are eligible, will, when their services are no longer required, be laid off with no Corporation-paid benefits. |
| 2. | | Buy Down Payment – Seniority Employees |
| a. | | Delphi and the IBEW agree that all seniority employees who are on roll (i.e. active, on temporary layoff or on an authorized leave of absence) on January 1, 2008 and receiving compensation (except for pre-retirement program participants and employees who have accepted one of the attrition options effective January 1, 2008 under Attachment C), will be eligible for a one time Buy Down payment of $10,000, less applicable withholding, in the first pay ending after January 1, 2008. |
|
| b. | | Such employees, whether they elect to receive the Buy Down Payment or not, will have their wages and benefits modified as follows: |
| 1) | | COLA in effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement will be frozen at that level through December 30, 2007. Employees who remain on roll will have such frozen COLA folded into their base rate effective December 31, 2007. Thenceforward, Paragraphs 65(a) through 65 (h) and the letter dated March 31, 2004 from Timothy A. Wilimitis to R. A. Middleton titled “COLA Calculation” will be deleted from the IBEW – Delphi Powertrain – Milwaukee Agreement, and there will be no COLA. |
|
| 2) | | Sickness & Accident (S&A) benefits, Extended Disability Benefits (EDB), health care, life insurance, and other applicable benefits will be reduced on January 1, 2008 to the levels described in Attachment D. The Individual Retirement plan will become effective as provided in Section D.2 of this Agreement and the Retiree Medical Account will become effective as |
Page 4 of 32
| | | provided in Section D.4 of this Agreement. |
|
| 3) | | For all hours worked on and after December 31, 2007, the Corporation contribution to the Income Security Plan accounts of eligible employees will be reduced to $0.18 per hour. |
| c. | | Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release Form in order to receive the $10,000 lump sum payment. |
|
| d. | | These modifications will apply to any employees (except temporary employees) hired after the effective date of this Agreement. |
| 3. | | Separation Payment – Current Employees with Less than One Year of Seniority or Credited Service as of January 1, 2008 |
|
| | | Delphi and the IBEW agree that any employee (except temporary employees) on the active employment rolls as of the Effective Date of this Agreement who does not have at least one (1) year of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as January 1, 2008, and who is permanently laid off prior to September 14, 2011, shall be eligible for a non-allocable lump sum severance payment equal to $1,500 for each month of his/her service with Delphi. The maximum amount of the severance pay is $40,000, less applicable withholdings. Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release form in order to receive the Severance Payment. The Parties agree that employees who are separated will sever all ties with GM and Delphi except for any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements are payable), if any. |
|
| 4. | | Any problems with the implementation of this Transformation section will be discussed by a representative designated by the IBEW and a representative designated by the Vice President – Human Resources – Delphi Corporation. |
| C. | | GM PROVISION OF OPEB |
|
| | | The Parties have agreed to a “Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB” (the “Term Sheet”) with respect to the cessation of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“OPEB”) for Delphi employees and retirees and GM provision of OPEB for certain Delphi retirees and eligible employees. That agreement is attached as Attachment B, and is incorporated by reference herein. |
Page 5 of 32
| D. | | MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING 2003 IBEW – DELPHI E&C AGREEMENTS (Signed March 31, 2004) |
|
| | | The IBEW and Delphi agree to the following modifications to the 2003 IBEW – Delphi E&C - Milwaukee Agreements: |
| 1. | | Wages |
|
| | | Paragraph 64 of the 2003 IBEW – Delphi E&C – Milwaukee Agreement will be replaced by the following clause: |
|
| | | “During the term of this Agreement, IBEW-represented employees at the Delphi Powertrain – Milwaukee plant will receive base wage rate increases calculated in the same manner and implemented at the same time as the base wage rate increases received by UAW-represented skilled trades employees at the Delphi Powertrain – Milwaukee plant. Concurrent with the implementation of each base wage rate increase, the table of minimum and maximum rates for each classification referenced in Section 4 of the Wage Agreement attached to the 2003 IBEW – Delphi E&C – Milwaukee Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases. Similarly, the Apprentice Rate Schedule in Paragraph 13 and Exhibit A of the Apprentice Agreement attached to the 2003 IBEW – Delphi E&C – Milwaukee Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases.” |
|
| 2. | | Delphi Hourly Rate Employees Pension Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Pension Plan, Exhibit A of the Agreement between Delphi and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, Local 663 will be eliminated or modified as follows: |
| a. | | Delphi will as of the first of the month next following the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law (the “Freeze Date”), amend the Delphi HRP so as to freeze benefit accruals for future credited service in the Delphi HRP, except as set forth in paragraph D.2.b.2 below. This freeze does not apply to the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| b. | | With regard to such amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, Delphi will cause the frozen Delphi HRP to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Delphi HRP and applicable law. These benefits will not be reduced from the levels in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date unless they are similarly reduced for other retired Delphi HRP participants. The |
Page 6 of 32
| | | IBEW agrees that Delphi reserves its right to seek termination of the Delphi HRP consistent with applicable law. In this regard: |
| 1) | | Delphi HRP participants, who are retired as of the Freeze Date, will continue to be eligible for and receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi HRP participants who are participants in the Special Attrition Program – Transformation provided for in Attachment B of this Agreement (the “SAP-T”), and who are not retired or separated from service under the SAP-T as of the Freeze Date, will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to eligibility, vesting and future benefit accruals, as if there were no freeze, until the earlier of their retirement or separation from service under the terms of the SAP-T. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delphi HRP is solely responsible for all credited service for accrual, vesting and eligibility purposes for all Delphi participants in the SAP-T, including but not limited to participants in the pre-retirement program option. Further, all Delphi SAP-T participants will be eligible for and will receive full Delphi HRP benefits upon their retirement under the terms of the SAP-T, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. Delphi SAP-T participants are not eligible to participate in the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP and are not eligible to receive Delphi matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. |
|
| 3) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) above) who are eligible to retire as of the Freeze Date will, upon their retirement, receive from the frozen Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP. |
|
| 4) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) who become eligible to retire after the Freeze Date, when taking into account Delphi credited service and their age at retirement will, upon their retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP, |
Page 7 of 32
| | | including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 5) | | For the avoidance of doubt, Delphi HRP participants referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.3 and D.2.b.4 above, will, upon retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP in addition to any other applicable Delphi HRP benefits the: |
| a) | | full amount of the 30 & out benefit through age 62 and one month, or the 80% date for those born on or before September 14, 1945, including, but not limited to, the full Early Retirement Supplement, in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; |
|
| b) | | portion of the Interim Supplement (which is applicable in both 85 point and 60 & 10 retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date and age at the time of retirement; and |
|
| c) | | portion of the Temporary Benefit (T&PD and mutual retirements) in effect under the Delphi HRP based on the credited service accrued as of the date immediately preceding the Freeze Date, not to exceed 30 years. |
| 6) | | For the avoidance of doubt, no Delphi HRP participants, including those referred to in paragraphs D.2.b.1 through D.2.b.4 above, will receive lump sum payments or any increase in benefits above the level of those provided for in the Delphi HRP as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, no new participants will be allowed to join the frozen Delphi HRP. |
|
| 7) | | Until the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down, pursuant to this Agreement will continue to receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to, eligibility, vesting, and future benefit accruals under the same terms and conditions in the Delphi HRP as prior to the buy down. During this period, such Delphi HRP participants will not be eligible for the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP or matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. As of the Freeze Date, Delphi HRP participants who buy down pursuant to this Agreement will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for eligibility and vesting purposes only. |
Page 8 of 32
| c. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, employees who are bought down, or who are hired on or after the effective date of this Agreement (except temporary employees), will be eligible for the provisions of the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP; |
| 1) | | Delphi will provide annual contributions equal to 5.4% of wages to each employee’s Individual Retirement Plan account. |
|
| 2) | | Accounts will accrue with interest credited annually at the 30 year U.S. Treasury Bond rate. |
|
| 3) | | Plan assets will be retained in a pension trust subject to vesting and portability provisions. |
|
| 4) | | There will be no provisions for supplements, temporary benefits or 30 and out retirement. |
|
| 5) | | Annuities with lump sum option(s) will be available. |
| | | All related Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the provisions above. |
|
| 3. | | Personal Savings Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Personal Savings Plan, Exhibit G, will continue to apply with the following modifications: |
| a. | | Effective upon the Delphi HRP Freeze Date, all employees who are bought down or hired on or after the effective date of this Agreement (excluding temporary employees), will be provided an employer match of 30% on up to 7% of employees’ eligible weekly pay. |
|
| b. | | Employees who are not eligible under the foregoing definition will not be entitled to any benefit. |
|
| | | All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above. |
| 4. | | Post-Retirement Health Care and Employer Paid Basic Life Insurance in Retirement |
Page 9 of 32
| a. | | Current employees and retirees eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with Attachment B |
|
| | | Employees who can attain eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM under the Term Sheet are not eligible to receive credits in the Post-Employment Health Care Account described in paragraph D.4.b. below. |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions, related to post-retirement health care coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Health Care Program, Exhibit C and post-retirement life insurance coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Life and Disability Benefits, Exhibit B of the agreement between Delphi and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 663, will be eliminated or modified accordingly as of the effective date of the Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB (Attachment B). |
|
| b. | | Current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible for post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all new employees hired on or after the Effective Date of this Agreement |
|
| | | As of January 1, 2008, current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all employees hired after the date, will be eligible for the following: |
| 1) | | Upon retirement from Delphi, employees will be able to continue any health care coverages then in effect for themselves and any eligible dependents by paying the full cost of any coverages continued. Delphi will make such coverages available at “group rates”. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi will provide a Post-Retirement Health Care Account that can be used to pay for continued coverages. Delphi will credit each eligible employee’s account with $0.50 for every compensated hour during employment. Newly hired employees are immediately eligible for such credits on date of hire. For bought down employees, eligibility for such credits will commence with the buy down on January 1, 2008. |
Page 10 of 32
| 3) | | Hours for which employees will receive the credit generally include any time for which they receive pay, including straight-time hours, for such things as: |
| i. | | Bereavement Pay; |
|
| ii. | | Call-in Pay; |
|
| iii. | | Holiday Pay; |
|
| iv. | | Jury Duty; |
|
| v. | | Overtime; |
|
| vi. | | Short-term Military Duty; and |
|
| vii. | | Vacation. |
| 4) | | The Post-Retirement Health Care Account will also be credited with interest on an annual basis. The interest rate is that for the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond at the end of each year. Any interest will be credited based on the accrued balance at the end of each calendar year and will be recorded no later than May 1 of each year. This credit balance continues to accrue until the employee retires or dies, at which time all credits and interest will cease to accrue. |
|
| 5) | | At that point the retiree or eligible surviving spouse may begin to draw down the balance. Credits may only be used to pay for the cost of health care coverages continued through Delphi or health care coverages that are purchased on an individual basis or through another group. |
|
| 6) | | This credit balance has no cash value, may not be transferred and may only be used to pay for health care coverages. Delphi contributes cash to the account only when a claim for reimbursement is made. If an employee leaves Delphi without retiring, the balance will be forfeited. |
|
| 7) | | If the employee dies in retirement status, or after becoming eligible to retire voluntarily under the Delphi HRP, the employee’s eligible surviving spouse and eligible dependents will continue to have access to Delphi group coverages on a self-pay basis. Such coverages may be paid for using any remaining balance in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. |
|
| 8) | | A surviving spouse age 65 or older who is eligible, but is not enrolled for Medicare Part B coverage, is not eligible to draw upon the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. Coverages may be continued on a self-paid basis until Medicare Part B coverage is obtained. After enrollment in Part B, the surviving |
Page 11 of 32
| | | spouse may draw upon the account while Medicare Part B enrollment is maintained. |
| | | All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above. |
| 5. | | Independence Week (Paragraphs 56 (n) through 56(r) of the 2003 IBEW – Delphi E&C – Milwaukee Agreement) |

| | | Independence Week Pay, any overtime premiums related to working on any day during Independence Week (except the Independence Day holiday itself) and Additional Time Off related to working during Independence Week will be eliminated.

Attachment B
Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S) and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
|
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
|
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM |
Page 21 of 32
| | represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
|
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A. | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | | | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $ | 2,900 | |
2. 28 years credited service | | $ | 2,850 | |
3. 27 years credited service | | $ | 2,800 | |
4. 26 years credited service | | $ | 2,750 | |
| | | Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation |
Page 25 of 32
| | | pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program. |
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the |
Page 26 of 32
| | “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
|
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by |
Page 27 of 32
| | | GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement |
Page 28 of 32
| | | between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM –
TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT

Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S), 101S and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM |
| | represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
| | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM - represented hourly retirees of GM. |
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and |
| | freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
The parties, by their duly authorized officers and representatives, agree accordingly this 31st day of July, 2007.

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program -Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program ��� Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
1. 29 years credited service $2,900
2. 28 years credited service $2,850
3. 27 years credited service $2,800
4. 26 years credited service $2,750
Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last
day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program.
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program — Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against |
| | the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program — Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all |
| | | commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM — TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT
TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE
PROCESSED UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.
The parties, by their duly authorized officers and representatives, agree accordingly this 31st day of July 2007.

DELPHI RESTRUCTURING
INTRODUCTION
District 10, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, Tool and Die Makers Lodge 78 (“IAM”), Delphi Corporation, and General Motors Corporation (“the Parties”) have discussed the challenges impacting Delphi and its IAM-represented operations. The Parties acknowledge that restructuring actions are necessary and commit to take specific actions to protect the needs of the Parties and their constituencies. To that end, the Parties agree as follows on a two-party or three-party basis, as applicable, (the “Agreement”) subject to ratification by the membership.
| 1. | | The Parties acknowledge that the Delphi Electronics & Safety — Milwaukee operation is scheduled to be closed. |
|
| 2. | | The agreements comprising the modified IAM — Delphi collective bargaining agreements following the date of this Agreement are set forth in Attachment A hereto. |
|
| 3. | | Except as modified by this Agreement, the 2003 IAM — Delphi Electronics & Safety — Milwaukee Operations Agreements and all related agreements and understandings will be extended and remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on September 14, 2011, subject to their termination provisions. |
| 1. | | Transformation Program Options |
|
| | | Delphi, GM and the IAM, as applicable, agree on the following Transformation Program options. The Retirement Incentives and Buy Out are subject to the terms of Attachment C, and are generally described below. No retirement options will be afforded to any Delphi employee who was a temporary employee on or after October 8, 2005. |
| a. | | Retirement Incentives — Employees Participating in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) |
| | | Delphi, the IAM and GM, as applicable, agree to the following Special Attrition Program — Transformation for such Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi HRP. Retirement options will be provided for eligible Delphi employees as described in Attachment C and summarized below: |
| 1) | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements, retroactive to October 1, 2005 |
|
| 2) | | 50 & 10 Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) |
Provisions B.1.a.1 and B.1.a.2 will apply to employees who are eligible to retire by January 1, 2008. Eligible employees will be allowed to retire under these provisions when their services are no longer required, but in any event no later than January 1, 2008.
| 3) | | Pre-retirement program covering employees with at least 26 years of credited service, but less than 30 years of credited service as of January 1, 2008 as provided in Attachment C. Employees must commence the pre-retirement program no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| 4) | | These retiring employees will be considered to have transitioned to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“Check the Box”) as provided in Attachment C. |
|
| 5) | | Participation conditioned on release of claims |
| b. | | Buy Out Payments |
|
| | | Delphi and the IAM agree that employees who are active or on leave status will be offered lump sum buyouts to sever all ties with Delphi and GM except vested pension benefits (as such no supplements are payable) when their services are no longer required, but in any event no later than January 1, 2008. The amount of the Buy Out Payments shall be in a non-allocable lump sum, less withholdings, as follows: |
| 1) | | Eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008 are eligible for $140,000; |
|
| 2) | | Eligible employees with three (3) but less than 10 years seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008 are eligible for $70,000; |
| 3) | | Eligible employees with one (1) but less than three (3) years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as of January 1, 2008 will be eligible for $40,000 (the “Buyout Payments”). |
| c. | | Application Period |
|
| | | The application period, timing of retirements and buyouts, and release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations. In no event will the application period extend beyond October 15, 2007. |
|
| d. | | Release Dates |
|
| | | The timing of retirements, Buy Outs and employee release dates will be determined by Delphi based upon staffing considerations, but no later than January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding this, Delphi is willing to work cooperatively with the IAM to seek mutually agreeable operating arrangements that would facilitate the ability to address employees’ desires regarding release dates. Release dates will be in accordance with seniority by classification from an integrated list of eligible employees who have applied for retirement, placement in the pre-retirement program or Buy Out under Paragraphs B.1.a and B.1.b of this Agreement. Release will be offered to the most senior eligible employee in the classification first. If there are insufficient volunteers, the least senior employee in the classification will be released. |
|
| e. | | Release of Claims |
|
| | | All participants will be required to sign a release releasing all claims against Delphi and GM, except workers’ compensation claims and unemployment compensation claims. |
|
| f. | | Temporary Employees |
|
| | | As necessary, employees who have accepted a Buy Out may be rehired as temporary employees to satisfy any operating needs. Any employee rehired as a temporary employee will be not acquire seniority or be eligible for benefits, but will otherwise be covered by the provisions of the IAM — Delphi Agreements. Employees who have been rehired as temporary employees will not be eligible for conversion to permanent status, and shall receive the starting wage rate applicable for a new temporary employee. Such temporary employees will not be eligible for any future attrition programs or payments related to such programs. |
| g. | | Selection of Option |
|
| | | An employee may only select one of the options described above for which they are eligible as of January 1, 2008. |
|
| h. | | Failure to Select an Option |
|
| | | Employees who do not select one of the attrition options for which they are eligible, will, when their services are no longer required, be laid off with no Corporation-paid benefits. |
| 2. | | Buy Down Payment — Seniority Employees |
| a. | | Delphi and the IAM agree that all seniority employees who are on roll (i.e. active, on temporary layoff or on an authorized leave of absence) on January 1, 2008 and receiving compensation (except for pre-retirement program participants and employees who have accepted one of the attrition options effective January 1, 2008 under Attachment C) will be eligible for a one time Buy Down payment of $10,000, less applicable withholding, in the first pay ending after January 1, 2008. |
|
| b. | | Such employees, whether they elect to receive the Buy Down Payment or not, will have their wages and benefits modified as follows: |
| 1) | | COLA in effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement will be frozen at that level through December 30, 2007. Employees who remain on roll will have such frozen COLA folded into their base rate effective December 31, 2007. Thenceforward, Paragraphs 80(a) through 80 (i) and the letter dated December 22, 2003 from Timothy A. Wilimitis to Dan Bigalke titled “COLA Calculation”, will be deleted from the IAM — Delphi Agreement, and there will be no COLA. |
|
| 2) | | Sickness & Accident (S&A) benefits, Extended Disability Benefits (EDB), health care, life insurance, and other applicable benefits will be reduced on January 1, 2008 to the levels described in Attachment D. The Individual Retirement plan will become effective as provided in Section D.2 of this Agreement and the Retiree Medical Account will become effective as provided in Section D.4 of this Agreement. |
|
| 3) | | For all hours worked on and after December 31, 2007, the Corporation contribution to the Income Security Plan accounts |
| | | of eligible employees will be reduced to $0.18 per hour. |
| c. | | Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release Form in order to receive the $10,000 lump sum payment. |
|
| d. | | These modifications will apply to any employees (except temporary employees) hired after the effective date of this Agreement. |
| 3. | | Separation Payment — Current Employees with Less than One Year of Seniority or Credited Service as of January 1, 2008 |
|
| | | Delphi and the IAM agree that any employee (except temporary employees) on the active employment rolls as of the Effective Date of this Agreement who does not have at least one (1) year of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, as January 1, 2008, and who is permanently laid off prior to September 14, 2011, shall be eligible for a non-allocable lump sum severance payment equal to $1,500 for each month of his/her service with Delphi. The maximum amount of the severance pay is $40,000, less applicable withholdings. Employees must sign a Conditions of Participation Release form in order to receive the Severance Payment. The Parties agree that employees who are separated will sever all ties with GM and Delphi except for any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements are payable), if any. |
|
| 4. | | Any problems with the implementation of this Transformation section will be discussed by a representative designated by the IAM and a representative designated by the Vice President — Human Resources — Delphi Corporation. |
| C. | | GM PROVISION OF OPEB |
|
| | | The Parties have agreed to a “Term Sheet — Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB” (the “Term Sheet”) with respect to the cessation of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“OPEB”) for Delphi employees and retirees and GM provision of OPEB for certain Delphi retirees and eligible employees. That agreement is attached as Attachment B, and is incorporated by reference herein. |
|
| D. | | MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING 2003 DELPHI — IAM AGREEMENTS |
| | | The IAM and Delphi agree to the following modifications to the 2003 Delphi — IAM Agreements: |
| 1. | | Wages |
|
| | | Paragraph 79 of the 2003 IAM — Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Agreement will be replaced by the following clause: |
|
| | | “During the term of this Agreement, IAM-represented employees at the Delphi E&S - Milwaukee plant will receive base wage rate increases calculated in the same manner and implemented at the same time as the base wage rate increases received by UAW-represented skilled trades employees at the Delphi E&S — Milwaukee plant. Concurrent with the implementation of each base wage rate increase, the table of minimum and maximum rates for each classification in Section III of the Wage Agreement attached to the 2003 IAM — Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases. Similarly, the Apprentice Rate Schedule in Article XIII of the Apprentice Agreement attached to the 2003 IAM — Delphi E&S — Milwaukee Agreement will be adjusted to reflect the increases.” |
|
| 2. | | Delphi Hourly Rate Employees Pension Plan |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions of Supplemental Agreement Covering Pension Plan, Exhibit A of the Agreement between Delphi and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, Lodge 78 will be eliminated or modified as follows: |
| a. | | Delphi will as of the first of the month next following the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law (the “Freeze Date”), amend the Delphi HRP so as to freeze benefit accruals for future credited service in the Delphi HRP, except as set forth in paragraph D.2.b.2 below. This freeze does not apply to the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| b. | | With regard to such amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, Delphi will cause the frozen Delphi HRP to pay benefits in accordance with the terms of the Delphi HRP and applicable law. These benefits will not be reduced from the levels in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date unless they are similarly reduced for other retired Delphi HRP participants. The IAM agrees that Delphi reserves its right to seek termination of the Delphi HRP consistent with applicable law.In this regard: |
| 1) | | Delphi HRP participants, who are retired as of the Freeze Date, will continue to be eligible for and receive from the Delphi HRP |
| | | all benefits, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi HRP participants who are participants in the Special Attrition Program — Transformation provided for in Attachment B of this Agreement (the “SAP-T”), and who are not retired or separated from service under the SAP-T as of the Freeze Date, will receive credited service in the Delphi HRP for all purposes, including but not limited to eligibility, vesting and future benefit accruals, as if there were no freeze, until the earlier of their retirement or separation from service under the terms of the SAP-T. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delphi HRP is solely responsible for all credited service for accrual, vesting and eligibility purposes for all Delphi participants in the SAP-T, including but not limited to participants in the pre-retirement program option. Further, all Delphi SAP-T participants will be eligible for and will receive full Delphi HRP benefits upon their retirement under the terms of the SAP-T, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. Delphi SAP-T participants are not eligible to participate in the Individual Retirement Plan provisions of the Delphi HRP and are not eligible to receive Delphi matching contributions under the Delphi Personal Savings Plan. |
|
| 3) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) above) who are eligible to retire as of the Freeze Date will, upon their retirement, receive from the frozen Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP. |
|
| 4) | | Delphi HRP participants (other than those referred to in paragraph D.2.b.2) who become eligible to retire after the Freeze Date, when taking into account Delphi credited service and their age at retirement will, upon their retirement, receive from the Delphi HRP all benefits provided for in the Delphi HRP, including but not limited to any applicable supplements and benefit redetermination provided for in the Delphi HRP under the terms in effect as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date. |

| 1) | | Delphi will provide annual contributions equal to 5.4% of wages to each employee’s Individual Retirement Plan account. |

|
| b. | | Employees who are not eligible under the foregoing definition will not be entitled to any benefit. |
|

| 4. | | Post-Retirement Health Care and Employer Paid Basic Life Insurance in Retirement |
| a. | | Current employees and retirees eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with Attachment B |
| | | Employees who can attain eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM under the Term Sheet are not eligible to receive credits in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account described in paragraph D.4.b. below. |
|
| | | Applicable terms and conditions, related to post-retirement health care coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Health Care Program, Exhibit C and post-retirement life insurance coverage, of Supplemental Agreement Covering Life and Disability Benefits, Exhibit B of the agreement between Delphi and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, Lodge 78, will be eliminated or modified accordingly as of the effective date of the Term Sheet — Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB (Attachment B). |
|
| b. | | Current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible for post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all new employees hired on or after the Effective Date of this Agreement |
|
| | | As of January 1, 2008, current employees who are bought down and who are not eligible to receive post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement from GM in accordance with the Term Sheet, and all employees hired after that date, will be eligible for the following: |
| 1) | | Upon retirement from Delphi, employees will be able to continue any health care coverages then in effect for themselves and any eligible dependents by paying the full cost of any coverages continued. Delphi will make such coverages available at “group rates”. |
|
| 2) | | Delphi will provide a Post-Retirement Health Care Account that can be used to pay for continued coverages. Delphi will credit each eligible employee’s account with $0.50 for every compensated hour during employment. Newly hired employees are immediately eligible for such credits on date of hire. For bought down employees, eligibility for such credits will commence with the buy down on January 1, 2008. |
|
| 3) | | Hours for which employees will receive the credit generally include any time for which they receive pay, including straight-time hours, for such things as: |
| ii. | | Call-in Pay; |
|
| iii. | | Holiday Pay; |
|
| iv. | | Jury Duty; |
|
| v. | | Overtime; |
|
| vi. | | Short-term Military Duty; and |
|
| vii. | | Vacation. |
| 4) | | The Post-Retirement Health Care Account will also be credited with interest on an annual basis. The interest rate is that for the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond at the end of each year. Any interest will be credited based on the accrued balance at the end of each calendar year and will be recorded no later than May 1 of each year. This credit balance continues to accrue until the employee retires or dies, at which time all credits and interest will cease to accrue. |
|
| 5) | | At that point the retiree or eligible surviving spouse may begin to draw down the balance. Credits may only be used to pay for the cost of health care coverages continued through Delphi or health care coverages that are purchased on an individual basis or through another group. |
|
| 6) | | This credit balance has no cash value, may not be transferred and may only be used to pay for health care coverages. Delphi contributes cash to the account only when a claim for reimbursement is made. If an employee leaves Delphi without retiring, the balance will be forfeited. |
|
| 7) | | If the employee dies in retirement status, or after becoming eligible to retire voluntarily under the Delphi HRP, the employee’s eligible surviving spouse and eligible dependents will continue to have access to Delphi group coverages on a self-pay basis. Such coverages may be paid for using any remaining balance in the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. |
|
| 8) | | A surviving spouse age 65 or older who is eligible, but is not enrolled for Medicare Part B coverage, is not eligible to draw upon the Post-Retirement Health Care Account. Coverages may be continued on a self-paid basis until Medicare Part B coverage is obtained. After enrollment in Part B, the surviving spouse may draw upon the account while Medicare Part B enrollment is maintained. |
All Miscellaneous Program Documents and Unpublished Letters will be conformed to the administration of the provisions described above.

Attachment B
Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S) and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to |
Page 21 of 32
| | provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
|
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 22 of 32
| | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM. |
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, |

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
| 1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | | | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $ | 2,900 | |
2. 28 years credited service | | $ | 2,850 | |
3. 27 years credited service | | $ | 2,800 | |
4. 26 years credited service | | $ | 2,750 | |
| | | Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible |
Page 25 of 32
| | | for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program. |
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
| 2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”) and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with |
Page 26 of 32
| | | the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
|
| 3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and |
Page 27 of 32
| | | shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters. |
|
| d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
|
| e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement |
Page 28 of 32
| | | between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM –
TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT

Term Sheet – Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB
| 1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement of General Motors Corporation (“GM”), Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”), and the International Union of Operating Engineers and its Local Unions 832(S), 101S and 18(S) (“IUOE”), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local Union 663 (“IBEW”), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and its Tool and Die Maker Lodge 78 (“IAM”), regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi and other active Delphi employees who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
|
| 2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approving the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GMMemorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring which incorporates (among other subject matters) this Term Sheet and approves modifications to the existing collective bargaining agreements between Delphi and the applicable union resolving any Section 1113 and 1114 motions pending in the Bankruptcy Court as between Delphi and the applicable union; (b) successful ratification by the applicable union membership of such of the agreements referred to in the preceding clause as are determined by the applicable union to require such ratification; (c) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (d) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
|
| 3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its IUOE, IBEW, and IAM |
Page 1 of 5
| | | represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
|
| 4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
|
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30 & Out), with OPEB under the terms of the applicable 2003 collective bargaining agreement in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
| 5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
|
| 6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi IUOE, IBEW, or IAM, |
Page 2 of 5
| | | as applicable, represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated IBEW or IAM – represented hourly retirees of GM. |
|
| 7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
General Provisions
| 8) | | Delphi, GM, and the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM agree to make all collective bargaining agreement and benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
|
| 9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable IUOE, IBEW, or IAM-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding-Delphi Restructuring will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
|
| 10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date, the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, all employees and former employees of Delphi represented or formerly represented by the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and |
Page 3 of 5
| | | freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB; provided however, that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties acknowledge that Delphi and/or GM may seek additional waivers of other claims, other than ordinary course grievances and workers’ compensation claims, in connection with the resolution of its current labor negotiations with the IUOE, IBEW, and IAM. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
The parties, by their duly authorized officers and representatives, agree accordingly this 31st day of July, 2007.

Delphi-GM- IBEW, IAM, IUOE Special Attrition Program –Transformation
1. | | Delphi, the International Union of Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO (IUOE), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO (IBEW), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (IAM) (collectively the “Unions”), and General Motors agree on the following Special Attrition Program – Transformation (SAP-T) for Delphi employees who are participants in the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”). |
| a. | | An attrition program will be run for eligible IBEW, IAM, and IUOE-represented Delphi employees as follows: |
| i. | | $35,000 for normal or early voluntary retirements when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Age 50 with 10 years of credited service Mutually Satisfactory Retirement (MSR) effective when the employee’s services are no longer required but no later than January 1, 2008. |
| b. | | Any employee with at least 26 and less than 30 years of credited service regardless of age will be eligible for special voluntary placement in a pre-retirement program when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008, under the following terms: |
| i. | | Employees electing this pre-retirement program must be eligible no later than January 1, 2008. |
|
| ii. | | Employees will retire without additional incentives when they first accrue 30 years of credited service under the provisions of the Delphi HRP. |
|
| iii. | | The gross monthly wages while in the program will be: |
| | |
1. 29 years credited service | | $2,900 |
2. 28 years credited service | | $2,850 |
3. 27 years credited service | | $2,800 |
4. 26 years credited service | | $2,750 |
Wages will be paid weekly on an hourly basis (2,080 hours per year) and will remain at that rate until 30 years of credited service is accrued. Employees will be treated the same as active employees with the following exceptions: (1) not eligible for Cost of Living Allowance (COLA); (2) not eligible for vacation pay except as was earned and unpaid prior to the commencement of this Pre-Retirement Program; (3) for purposes of pension benefits, the Benefit Class Code will be determined using the twenty-four month look back period as specified in Appendix A of the Delphi HRP, with said period starting from the last
Page 1 of 5
day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program; (4) for purposes of life insurance, the amount of life insurance will be based on the base rate as of the last day worked prior to the commencement of the pre-retirement program.
| c. | | Buy out of $140,000 for eligible employees with 10 or more years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; $70,000 for eligible employees with at least three but less than 10 years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater; and $40,000 for eligible employees with at least one but less than three years of seniority or credited service, whichever is greater, to sever all ties with GM and Delphi except any vested pension benefits (as such no pension supplements will be payable). Employees will buy out when their services are no longer required, but no later than January 1, 2008. An employee electing a buy out whose spouse is employed at Delphi may, if they meet all plan requirements to do so, be eligible for health care coverage as a dependent pursuant to their spouse’s health care program. |
|
| d. | | An employee may only select one of the options described above. |
|
| e. | | Effective January 1, 2008, all employees (other than those participating in option 1.b.), not electing an attrition option will be bought down consistent with the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE -Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding -Delphi Restructuring applicable to the employee. |
|
| f. | | Temporary employees will be used as needed to bridge any difficulties arising from the implementation of the Special Attrition Program – Transformation. |
2. | | GM, the Unions and Delphi agree that any employee electing to retire under options 1.a.i., 1.a.ii, or 1.b. will transition to GM for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement (“check the box”)and receive such benefits from GM on the same basis as GM-IUE-CWA retirees; post-retirement medical benefits provided will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees. As such, GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. Any employee choosing option 1.b. above will be considered a Delphi employee until they retire. Employees who have 100% of their credited service in the Delphi HRP will receive 100% of their pension benefit from the Delphi HRP. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 below, any obligations assumed by GM under the “check the box” provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against |
Page 2 of 5
| | the estate of Delphi Corporation under Delphi’s general indemnity of GM under the Master Separation Agreement. Neither Delphi Corporation nor any of its debtor affiliates may object on any grounds to the allowance of such claim; provided, however, that Delphi Corporation and any of its debtor affiliates reserve the right to object to the economic value of such claim (in the nature of assumptions such as discount rate, health care trend rates, mortality, other withdrawal rates and current and future expected benefit plan design changes). This limited objection waiver applies to Delphi, only, and not for other parties in interest, for which all rights are expressly reserved to object to the allowance of such claim under any grounds other than it was not assertable under the Master Separation Agreement. In exchange for eligibility to receive post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits from GM, employees will waive any and all rights to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefits from Delphi including but not limited to any and all rights to COBRA continuation through Delphi. |
3. | | The parties acknowledge the following matters regarding the Special Attrition Program - Transformation: |
| a. | | Delphi’s participation in this SAP-T is subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; which approval Delphi will seek promptly at the next available omnibus hearing. In the event such participation is not allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, GM and the IBEW, IAM, IUOE will have no obligations hereunder. GM’s obligations hereunder are subject to approval of this SAP-T by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to entry of an order that provides for the treatment of GM’s claims as described in this SAP-T and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to GM, Delphi, the IBEW, IAM, and IUOE. |
|
| b. | | For the avoidance of doubt, any obligations assumed by GM under this SAP-T with respect to post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit under paragraph 2 above shall be conclusively deemed to be comprehended by, included within, and shall constitute a prepetition, general unsecured claim assertable by GM against the estate of Delphi Corporation. GM agrees to assume and pay post retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance benefit payments to Delphi employees who “check the box” for purposes of post-retirement health care and employer paid basic life insurance in retirement. . |
|
| c. | | This SAP-T shall not be subject to abrogation, modification or rejection without the mutual consent of the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE, as applicable, GM and Delphi and the order obtained in the Bankruptcy Court by Delphi approving this SAP-T shall so provide. The parties further agree (and the Bankruptcy Court order shall also provide) that this SAP-T is without prejudice to any interested party (including the parties to this SAP-T and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) in all other aspects of Delphi’s Chapter 11 cases, including by illustration, Delphi’s and GM’s respective positions in all |
Page 3 of 5
commercial discussions and claims matters between them, all collective bargaining matters involving the parties, in any potential proceedings under Sections 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to GM’s contracts with Delphi, in any pension termination proceeding under ERISA and/or the Bankruptcy Code, and all claims administration and allowance matters.
d. | | Nothing in this SAP-T, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall limit or otherwise modify (a) Delphi’s rights under Section 4041 of ERISA, or (b) Delphi’s rights under Section 1113 and/or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to any obligations which pre-existed this SAP-T (including pre-existing obligations referenced within this SAP-T), such as (by way of illustration only) the obligation to maintain the Delphi HRP or provide retirees or active employees (including employees/retirees participating in the attrition programs contained in this SAP-T) with levels of healthcare or other benefits as specified in pre-existing labor agreements. Under no circumstances shall Delphi freeze the Delphi HRP in a manner that prevents employees in the pre-retirement program described in Paragraph 1.b. above from receiving on-going credited service sufficient to reach 30 years of credited service. Delphi shall provide the same healthcare and life insurance coverage to employees participating in paragraph 1.b. that it provides to its other active IAM, IBEW or IUOE-represented employees, as applicable. |
e. | | Nothing contained herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, shall constitute an assumption of any agreement described herein, including, without limitation any collective bargaining agreement between the IBEW, IAM, or IUOE and Delphi or any agreement between GM and Delphi, nor shall anything herein, in the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this SAP-T, or the performance of any obligation hereunder, be deemed to create or give rise to an administrative or priority claim with respect to GM or convert a prepetition claim into a postpetition claim or an administrative expense with respect to any party. |
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ATTRITION PROGRAM – TRANSFORMATION IS SUBJECT
TO U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT APPROVAL AND NO PAYMENTS OR RETIREMENTS WILL BE
PROCESSED UNTIL AFTER COURT APPROVAL.

Term Sheet — Delphi Cessation and GM Provision of OPEB For Certain Non-
Represented Delphi Employees and Retirees
1) | | This Term Sheet sets forth the agreement between General Motors Corporation (“GM”) and Delphi Corporation, or any successor to Delphi as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the stock or assets of Delphi Corporation or a merger of Delphi Corporation regarding Delphi’s cessation of post-retirement health care benefits and employer-paid post-retirement basic life insurance benefits (hereinafter referred to as “OPEB”) and GM’s agreement to provide OPEB to certain retired hourly employees currently receiving such benefits from Delphi who are not currently represented by one of the unions representing Delphi’s employees and retirees (the “Unions”) and other active hourly Delphi employees who are not represented by any of the Unions and who may become eligible for OPEB in accordance with this Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms of the respective Delphi and GM employee benefit plans and programs will govern. This Term Sheet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an employee benefit plan under the meaning of ERISA. |
|
2) | | The parties acknowledge that this Term Sheet will become effective (the “Effective Date”) when all of the following events have occurred and as of the date when the last of such events shall have occurred: (a) the entry of an approval order by the Bankruptcy Court in Delphi’s chapter 11 cases approvingthis Term Sheet; and (b) execution by Delphi and GM of a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them; and (c) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization proposed by Delphi in its chapter 11 cases (the “Plan”) and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court which incorporates, approves and is consistent with all of the terms of this Term Sheet and the comprehensive settlement agreement between Delphi and GM. |
|
3) | | Pursuant to the Plan and this Term Sheet, as of the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with applicable law and administrative requirements (the “Cessation Date”), Delphi will cease to provide, offer, or have any liability for OPEB to its non-represented hourly employees and retirees and their spouses, surviving spouses, dependents or other beneficiaries. The cessation will be administered on a “claims incurred” basis, and Delphi will therefore retain responsibility for all claims incurred but either unfiled or unpaid as of the Cessation Date. This cessation will include elimination of the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B. |
|
4) | | As of the Cessation Date, GM agrees to provide OPEB (including the Special Benefit relating to Medicare Part B if applicable) to the non-represented Delphi hourly employees and Delphi retirees who: |
| A. | | as of the Effective Date are retired with eligibility for OPEB; |
| B. | | as of the Effective Date are eligible to retire from Delphi on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“Delphi HRP”) (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 &10), 85 Point or 30&Out), with OPEB under the terms of the Delphi hourly health care program in effect on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date; and |
|
| C. | | become eligible to retire on a normal retirement basis under Article II, section 1 of the Delphi HRP (i.e., age 65) or an early retirement basis under Article II, sections 2(a)(1), 2(a)(2) or 2(a)(3) of the Delphi HRP (i.e., 60 & 10, 85 Point or 30 & Out) or as a Total and Permanent Disability retirement under Article II, section 3 of the Delphi HRP approved both by Delphi pursuant to the procedures applicable to the Delphi HRP as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date and approved by GM under the procedures applicable to the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan (“GM HRP”), within 7 years of the Effective Date. |
5) | | All post-retirement medical benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and GM will provide the applicable level of post retirement medical benefits consistent with the terms of the Modified Plan, as defined in the settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the court in the caseIUE, et al. v. General Motors Corporation (case number 2:06-cv-12151), on the same basis as such benefits are provided to GM-IUE-CWA hourly employees who retired from GM with eligibility to participate in the GM Health Care Program. |
|
6) | | All employer-paid post-retirement Basic Life Insurance benefits provided by GM will be in accordance with all the ongoing terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees and will be at the level provided for Delphi non-represented retirees on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, provided, however, that in no event shall GM be required to provide life insurance benefits at a level and scope that exceeds that being provided for similarly situated non-represented hourly retirees of GM. |
|
7) | | The parties agree to fully cooperate with the efficient transfer of administrative responsibilities from Delphi to GM so that the Cessation Date will be the Effective Date or as soon as possible after the Effective Date, but in no case later than 3 months after the Effective Date (unless mutually agreed to by the parties). The parties further agree that there may be differing Cessation Dates for different portions of post-retirement medical plan benefits depending on the benefit and how quickly administrative responsibilities can be transferred. The parties further agree that the Cessation Date shall not occur unless and until GM is prepared to assume responsibility for all covered claims incurred on and after the Cessation Date, in order to assure a smooth transition of the obligation. |
2
General Provisions
8) | | Delphi and GM agree to make all benefit plan amendments and modifications necessary to implement and comply with the terms contained herein. |
|
9) | | Employees electing a Buy Down under the applicable special attrition program will retain eligibility for OPEB under this Term Sheet without regard to such election. |
|
10) | | This Term Sheet shall not be effective unless the confirmation order approving the Plan incorporates and approves all of the terms of this Term Sheet (including the releases provided for herein), does not include terms that are inconsistent with this Term Sheet, and provides that on the Effective Date all non-represented hourly employees and former hourly employees of Delphi, and all persons or entities with claims derived from or related to any relationship with such employees or former employees of Delphi, waive and be deemed to have waived any and all claims of any nature, whether liquidated, un-liquidated, contingent, non-contingent, asserted, unasserted, existing and/or arising in the future against Delphi, the Delphi HRP, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, GM, the GM HRP, the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the GM Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, and the officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries, and agents of each, arising from or related to any obligations of Delphi, GM and/or such employee benefits plans to provide OPEB or pension benefits, or related in any way to the amendment and freeze of the Delphi HRP, the cessation of Delphi OPEB;provided however, that claims for benefits provided for under the provisions of this Term Sheet or ordinary course claims by participants and beneficiaries of the GM Health Care Program for Hourly Employees, the Delphi Health Care Program for Hourly Employees and the Delphi Life and Disability Benefits Program for Hourly Employees, arising after the Effective Date based on the denial or miscalculation of benefits under such plans are not waived. The parties also acknowledge that (i) the consideration provided by GM in this Term Sheet constitutes a substantial contribution to the Plan, (ii) this contribution is necessary to the success of the Plan, and (iii) GM would not have made this contribution without obtaining the releases provided for herein. The Parties further acknowledge that nothing in the preceding sentence shall give rise to or entitle GM to seek or be allowed any claim against or consideration from any entity, including Delphi, other than as specifically approved by the Bankruptcy Court as agreed to by Delphi and GM in a comprehensive settlement agreement resolving the financial, commercial, and other matters between them. |
