Page 6 of 17 This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") to the Schedule 13D (the "Initial Schedule 13D") initially filed on March 16, 2006 by the Reporting Persons (as defined in the Initial Schedule 13D), as amended on August 1, 2006 and August 29, 2006, relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and is being filed to amend the Reporting Persons' previously-filed Schedule 13D as specifically set forth below. Certain information contained in this Schedule 13D/A relates to share ownership of persons other than the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim any liability for any such information and for any other information provided in this Amendment that does not expressly pertain to a Reporting Person, as such term is defined in Item 2 of the Initial Schedule 13D. The information set forth in the Exhibits to this Amendment is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference, and the responses to each item of this Amendment are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of such Exhibits. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Schedule 13D, and unless otherwise amended hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect. ITEM 3 IS AMENDED AND RESTATED AS FOLLOWS: AMLP, API and Mr. Tepper beneficially own 52,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "AMLP Shares"). AILP beneficially owns 27,716,000 shares of Common Stock (the "AILP Shares"), which were acquired with the funds of AILP. Palomino beneficially owns 24,284,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Palomino Shares," and together with the AMLP Shares and the AILP Shares, the "Shares"), which were acquired with the funds of Palomino. The aggregate purchase price of the AILP Shares was $9,295,306.80. The aggregate purchase price of the Palomino Shares was $8,144,293.20. The funds required to satisfy the commitment of the Reporting Persons' affiliate pursuant to the Investment Agreement (as defined below) are expected to be provided by AILP and Palomino. ITEM 4 IS AMENDED AND RESTATED AS FOLLOWS: The acquisition of the shares of Common Stock that are currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was for investment purposes. On March 15, 2006, in its capacity as a stockholder, Appaloosa Management L.P. ("Appaloosa") sent a letter (the "March 15th Letter") to the Issuer's board of directors expressing concerns over the current management of the Issuer in connection with the commencement and prosecution of the Issuer's case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101-1330 as amended and in effect on October 8, 2005 (the "Bankruptcy Code"). As described below, Appaloosa has withdrawn this letter. On July 31, 2006, Appaloosa and the Issuer entered into a Confidential Information, Standstill and Nondisclosure Agreement (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). The Confidentiality Agreement was attached as Exhibit 3 to the Schedule 13D/A filed on August 1, 2006. Pursuant Page 7 of 17 to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Issuer may furnish to Appaloosa certain non-public, confidential and/or proprietary information pertaining to the Issuer which is reasonably necessary in order for Appaloosa to evaluate a possible negotiated business arrangement involving the Issuer in its reorganization case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Subject to customary exceptions, Appaloosa agrees to keep the Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) strictly confidential. Prior to the Release Date (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), unless otherwise agreed to by the Issuer in writing, Appaloosa agrees to engage in discussions and negotiate exclusively with the Issuer and its legal and financial advisors with respect to a possible negotiated business arrangement involving the Issuer. In addition, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, Appaloosa has withdrawn the March 15th Letter and agreed not to take certain other actions, as more fully described in the Confidentiality Agreement. On August 25, 2006, Appaloosa and the Issuer entered into an amendment to the Confidentiality Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Confidentiality Agreement was attached as Exhibit 6 to the Schedule 13D/A filed on August 28, 2006. Pursuant to the Amendment, in connection with certain confidential information produced and designated as "confidential" or "highly confidential" by the Debtors under various stipulations and protective orders entered into in the Issuer's reorganization case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, that has been furnished and may continue to be furnished to certain representatives of Appaloosa (the "Litigation Material"), Appaloosa may use the Litigation Material for a Permitted Purpose (as defined in the Amendment), and the Litigation Material so used will be deemed Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement). On July 31, 2006, Appaloosa engaged UBS Securities LLC ("UBS") as lead financial adviser and lead capital markets provider and engaged Merrill Lynch & Co. ("Merrill Lynch") as an additional financial adviser, in each case in connection with any potential restructuring, acquisition or other transaction involving the Issuer. Pursuant to the engagement letters, the financial advisers are to be given an opportunity to participate in any debt or equity financing transaction involving the Issuer that is sponsored by Appaloosa and not financed by Appaloosa. The engagement letters were attached as Exhibits 4 and 5, respectively, to the Schedule 13D/A filed on August 1, 2006. Proposal Letter On December 18, 2006, A-D Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("ADAH") (an affiliate of Appaloosa), Dolce Investments, LLC ("Dolce") (an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management L.P. ("Cerberus")), Harbinger Del-Auto Investment Company, Ltd. ("Del-Auto") (an affiliate of Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. ("Harbinger")), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill") and UBS delivered to the Issuer a proposal, which the Issuer accepted, for a potential investment of up to $3.4 billion in the aggregate in preferred and common equity of the reorganized Issuer and a proposed reorganization framework for the Issuer (the "Proposal"). Each of ADAH, Dolce, Del-Auto, Merrill and UBS are referred to herein as the "Investors." A copy of the Proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit 7. According to the Proposal, the Investors would enter into an Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") providing for the potential equity Page 8 of 17 investment. The Proposal will terminate if, on or before January 22, 2007, (x) the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") does not issue an order reasonably satisfactory to the Investors approving and authorizing the Issuer to enter into the Investment Agreement and certain other matters, (y) the Issuer has not entered into the Investment Agreement or (z) any of the Investors determines in its sole discretion that any of the conditions contained in the Investment Agreement are incapable of being satisfied or that any of the Investors is entitled to exercise a termination right under the Investment Agreement. Equity Investment Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Investors would purchase an aggregate of $1.2 billion of convertible preferred stock and approximately $200 million of common stock in the reorganized Issuer as follows: (i) each Investor would purchase (A) for $35.00 per share, each Investor's proportionate share of 6,300,000 shares of the reorganized Issuer's new common stock (the "Direct Subscription Shares") and (B) for $35.00 per share, each Investor's proportionate share of the reorganized Issuer's new Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"); (ii) Dolce would purchase for $35.00 per share, 8,571,429 shares of the reorganized Issuer's new Series A-1 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock"); and (iii) ADAH would purchase for $35.00 per share, 8,571,429 shares of the reorganized Issuer's new Series A-2 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A-2 Preferred Stock", and together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The number of Direct Subscription Shares and Series B Preferred Stock to be purchased by each Investor is set forth on Schedule 2 to the Investment Agreement. Additionally, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Investors would purchase any unsubscribed shares of the reorganized Issuer's new common stock in connection with an approximately $2.0 billion rights offering that would be made available to holders of Common Stock as of a record date to be determined by the Issuer. In accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Issuer would distribute certain rights to holders of Common Stock to acquire new common stock of the reorganized Issuer subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, approval of the Bankruptcy Court and satisfaction of other terms and conditions. The rights, which would be transferable by the original eligible holders, would permit holders to purchase their pro rata share of new common stock of the reorganized Issuer at $35.00 per share. Altogether, the Investors could invest up to an aggregate of $3.4 billion in the reorganized Issuer. The Investment Agreement is subject to the completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the Investors in their sole discretion, satisfaction or waiver of numerous other conditions (including the Issuer's achievement of consensual agreements with its U.S. labor unions and General Motors Corporation ("GM") that are acceptable to the Investors in their sole discretion) and the non-exercise by either the Issuer or the Investors of certain termination rights, all of which are more fully described in the Investment Agreement. The Investors would be entitled to payment of certain commitment fees and an alternate transaction fee at the times and under the circumstances set forth in the Investment Agreement. Page 9 of 17 Plan of Reorganization Framework The Investors, the Issuer and GM also executed on December 18, 2006, a Plan Framework Support Agreement (the "Plan Framework Support Agreement") which contains terms pursuant to which the parties agree to support confirmation and consummation of a plan of reorganization for the Issuer which will be based on the terms contained in the Plan Framework Support Agreement (the "Plan Framework"). A copy of the Plan Framework Support Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 8. The Plan Framework provides for, among other things, the distributions to be made to creditors and stockholders, the treatment of GM's claims against the Issuer, the resolution of certain pension funding issues and the corporate governance of the reorganized Issuer. The Plan Framework Support Agreement as well as the economics and structure of the Plan Framework itself are conditioned on reaching consensual agreements with the Issuer's U.S. labor unions and GM. Both the Issuer and the Investors are permitted to terminate the Investment Agreement (which terminates the Plan Framework Support Agreement) if consensual agreements are not reached with the Issuer's U.S. labor unions and GM by Jan. 31, 2007. Corporate Governance Structure The Investment Agreement and the Plan Framework Support Agreement also include certain corporate governance provisions for the reorganized Issuer. Under the terms of the proposed plan, the reorganized Issuer would be governed by a 12 member board of directors, two of whom would be a new Executive Chairman and a new Chief Executive Officer and President. Pursuant to the term sheet for preferred stock attached as an Exhibit to the Investment Agreement (the "Preferred Term Sheet") and Plan Framework Support Agreement, Rodney O'Neal would be the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Issuer. A five member selection committee, consisting of John D. Opie, the lead independent director of the Issuer's current board of directors, a representative of each of the Issuer's two statutory committees and a representative of each of Appaloosa and Cerberus will select the company's post-emergence Executive Chairman as well as four other directors (one of whom may be from the Issuer's current board of directors). Appaloosa and Cerberus must both concur in the selection of the Executive Chairman, but do not vote on the four other directors. Each of Appaloosa and Cerberus would appoint three board members comprising the remaining six members of the reorganized Issuer's new board of directors. The new board of directors would be required to satisfy all independence requirements imposed by the relevant stock exchange on which the reorganized Issuer's common stock would be traded. Executive compensation for the reorganized Issuer must be on market terms, must be reasonably acceptable to ADAH and Dolce, and the overall executive compensation plan design must be described in the Issuer's disclosure statement and incorporated into the plan of reorganization. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have certain approval rights with respect to certain significant corporate transactions such as incurring debt, transferring assets and engaging in mergers or acquisitions, as more fully described in the Preferred Term Sheet. Except as described in this Item 4 or otherwise described in this Statement, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Subject to the terms of the Page 10 of 17 Investment Agreement and the Plan Framework Support Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right, in light of its or his ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, its or his business objectives and other relevant factors, to change its or his plans and intentions at any time, as it or he deems appropriate. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement), any one or more of the Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates) reserves the right, in each case subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of any of their Common Stock by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable law, to (i) purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, (ii) sell or transfer shares of Common Stock or other securities beneficially owned by them from time to time in public or private transactions and (iii) cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind to their respective stockholders, partners or members, as the case may be, shares of Common Stock or other securities owned by such Reporting Persons. This Amendment is not a solicitation for votes on the Issuer's plan of reorganization. No disclosure statement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the Issuer's plan of reorganization.

Any determination made by the General Partner under the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement shall be binding on each Partner, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct. The General Partner and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay, to the extent related to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, in connection with this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the PSA, the Rights, the Plan, the Partnership Interests, the Series A-2 Preferred Stock or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, except for errors or omissions found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the General Partner; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve the General Partner or its Affiliates from any obligations contained in any other agreement to which they are a party. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the General Partner, to the extent related to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, under or in connection with this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the PSA, the Rights, the Plan, the Partnership Interests, the Series A-2 Preferred Stock or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on each Partner and shall not result in any liability of the General Partner to such Partner; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve the General Partner or its Affiliates from any obligations contained in any other agreement to which they are a party; and (iv) The General Partner shall make the following Capital Contributions, if and when applicable, and such Capital Contributions will in no way affect the Percentage Interests of any Partner: (A) any Preferred Commitment Fee attributable to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock actually received by the General Partner and its Affiliates (it being understood and agreed by the Partners that the portion of the Preferred Commitment Fee attributable to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be 25% of such Preferred Commitment Fee), if any; provided, that any such Preferred Commitment Fee actually received by the General Partner and its Affiliates shall first be allocated to reimburse the General Partner and Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and their Affiliates for 25% of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' -6- fees and costs and any advisory or other fees or costs with respect to individuals who are nominated pursuant to the terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock by the General Partner or its Affiliates to serve on Delphi's board of directors) incurred by the General Partner and Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and their Affiliates since the commencement date of Delphi's chapter 11 cases and related to such chapter 11 cases, which have not otherwise been reimbursed to the General Partner and Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. or their Affiliates by Delphi as Transaction Expenses in accordance with the Purchase Agreement ("Reimbursable Expenses"); provided, further, that the fees and expenses of any attorneys for Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., other than those of White & Case LLP, shall not be Reimbursable Expenses; and (B) any Alternate Transaction Fee attributable to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock actually received by the General Partner and its Affiliates (it being understood and agreed by the Partners that the portion of the Alternate Transaction Fee attributable to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be 8.8% of such Alternate Transaction Fee), if any; provided, that any such Alternate Transaction Fee actually received by the General Partner and its Affiliates shall first be allocated to reimburse the General Partner and Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and their Affiliates for 8.8% of all Reimbursable Expenses incurred by the General Partner and Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and their Affiliates; provided, further, that the fees and expenses of any attorneys for Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., other than those of White & Case LLP, shall not be Reimbursable Expenses. (b) The Preferred Commitment Fee and Alternate Transaction Fee allocated to the reimbursement of Reimbursable Expenses shall be allocated among the General Partner and Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. pro rata based on their respective proportions of the aggregate of such Reimbursable Expenses incurred by the General Partner and Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and their Affiliates, respectively. Any portion of any Preferred Commitment Fee and Alternate Transaction Fee remaining after the reimbursement of Reimbursable Expenses shall be made as a Capital Contribution by the General Partner in accordance with Section 3.3(a). To the extent that any portion of any Preferred Commitment Fee and Alternate Transaction Fee is applied to the payment of Reimbursable Expenses of the General Partner or Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. or their Affiliates and the General Partner or Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. or an Affiliate subsequently is reimbursed for such Reimbursable Expenses by Delphi as Transaction Expenses in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, then the amount of such later reimbursed costs and expenses shall be treated as a Preferred Commitment Fee or Alternate Transaction Fee, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 3.2. SECTION 3.3. Return of Capital; Interest. No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions, to receive interest on its Capital Contributions or to receive any distributions from the Partnership, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. SECTION 3.4. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account ("Capital Account") shall be maintained for each Partner in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2). Without limiting the foregoing, each Partner's Capital Account shall be credited with the sum of (i) the amount of money and fair market value of property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities assumed by the Partnership or which such property is taken subject -7- to) and (ii) allocations to such Partner of its allocable share of income (or items thereof) pursuant to Section 4.1. Each Partner's Capital Account shall be decreased by the sum of (x) the amount of money distributed to such Partner and the fair market value of property distributed to such Partner (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner or which such property is taken subject to), (y) allocations to such Partner of its allocable share of losses and (z) the amount of deductions or losses or items thereof, if any, allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.1. If any property other than cash is distributed to a Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted as if the property had instead been sold by the Partnership for a price equal to its fair market value and the proceeds distributed. Upon liquidation and winding-up of the Partnership, any unsold Partnership property shall be valued at its fair market value to determine the gain or loss which would result if such property were sold at the time of such liquidation. The Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect how any such gain or loss would have been allocated under Article IV if such property had been sold at the assigned values. The Capital Account of any Partner shall carry over to the transferee of any Partner in proportion to the Partnership Interest Transferred. ARTICLE IV. ALLOCATIONS SECTION 4.1. Allocation of Income and Losses. All income, profits, gain, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners according to their Percentage Interests. SECTION 4.2. Tax Incidents. It is intended that the Partnership will be treated as a pass-through entity for tax purposes. Subject to Section 704(c) of the Code, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as the corresponding item of income, gain, loss or deduction was allocated pursuant to the preceding sections of this Article IV. SECTION 4.3. Allocation with Respect to Transferred Interests. Each item of income or loss allocable to a Partner's Partnership Interest that is Transferred in whole or in part during any Fiscal Year shall, if permitted by law, be allocated on a daily basis according to the varying Percentage Interests of the Partners during such year. ARTICLE V. DISTRIBUTIONS SECTION 5.1. Distributions. (a) Subject to Section 9.3(d), distributions may be made to the Partners in an aggregate amount to be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, in all cases in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests of the Partners. (b) The General Partner, except with respect to breaches of an express provision of this Agreement, (i) shall not be liable for any error in judgment or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) may rely on legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected or accepted by the General Partner and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by -8- the General Partner in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The General Partner has no duty to propose to take any action with respect to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and may act with respect to the voting, conversion or disposition of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock in its sole discretion without any obligation of prior consultation to the Partners. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section 5.1(b) shall relieve the General Partner from any liability for its breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. (c) Any Partner may own such interests in, and may have and engage in any other relationships with or concerning, Delphi or its Affiliates, without any obligation or liability of any kind to the Partnership or any other Partner, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, neither the Partnership nor any other Partner shall have any rights to or interests in any rights or interests of any Partner in respect of Delphi, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

In addition, the General Partner shall be entitled to take any other action on behalf of the Partnership required to cause the Partnership to be in compliance with any applicable governmental regulations. Not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Partnership, the General Partner shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Partner a copy of the Partnership tax returns and Schedule K-1 for the Partnership with respect to such Fiscal Year, together with such information with respect to the Partnership as shall be necessary for the preparation by such Partner of its U.S. federal and state income or other tax and information returns. The Schedule K-1 will be prepared at the expense of the Partnership. SECTION 6.3. Tax Elections; Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Partnership to make an election under Section 754 of the Code. The General Partner is hereby designated as the tax matters partner (the "Tax Matters Partner") of the Partnership, as provided in the Treasury Regulations pursuant to Section 6231 of the Code (and any similar provisions under any other state or local or non-U.S. tax laws). Each Limited Partner hereby consents to such designation and agrees that upon the request of the Tax Matters Partner -9- it will execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent.

Each Partner shall bear all out of pocket expenses incurred in any examination made for such Partner's account and shall keep all information obtained during such inspection confidential. In the exercise of their rights under this Section 6.5, the Partners agree that they shall not cause any unreasonable interference with or disruption of the Partnership business. SECTION 6.6. Tax Compliance. Each Limited Partner hereby undertakes promptly to provide to the General Partner, at its request, any and all information, statements or certificates which the General Partner may at any time judge necessary to comply with the tax laws of any jurisdiction, or in order to minimize any obligation which the Partnership may have to withhold tax on distributions to such Partners. If any Limited Partner shall fail to provide any such information, statement or certificate reasonably requested by the General Partner, the General Partner shall be entitled to take such action as the General Partner may reasonably determine.

If such indemnification is for any reason not available or insufficient to hold the General Partner or such Representatives harmless, each Limited Partner, severally and not jointly, agrees to contribute to the liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements referred to in this Section 7.3 in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received (or anticipated to be received) by such Limited Partner, on the one hand, and by the General Partner and the Representatives, on the other hand, under this Agreement or, if such allocation is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect other equitable considerations such as the relative fault of such Limited Partner, on the one hand and of the General Partner and the Representatives on the other hand. (e) Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the General Partner makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties, or representations made by any person or entity other than the General Partner in or in connection with the Purchase Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, or enforceability (with respect to any person or entity other than the General Partner) of the Purchase Agreement and the General Partner makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition, creditworthiness, properties, affairs, status or nature of Delphi, or the performance or observance by Delphi of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement or any other instrument or document. The General Partner acknowledges that it shall have no recourse to any Limited Partner except for any Limited Partner's indemnities and other obligations, in each case as expressly stated in this Agreement. (f) The General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or the Limited Partners for mistakes of judgment or for any act or omission suffered or taken by it, or for losses due to any such mistakes, action or inaction, except to the extent of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such General Partner. The General Partner and its Representatives shall be fully protected and are hereby indemnified, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by the Partnership against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses (including without limitation (1) legal fees and expenses and (2) any amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines or settlement of litigation) suffered or incurred in any actual or threatened claim, action or proceeding as a result or by reason of (i) in the case of the General Partner, (A) the fact that it is or was the General Partner or (B) any alleged action or inaction as General Partner and (ii) in the case of any Representative of the General Partner, any alleged action or inaction in such Person's capacity as representative of the General Partner; provided, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent that any action or inaction by the General Partner or its Representative is -13- determined by a final judgment to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel or accountants selected by the General Partner and any action or omission suffered or taken in good faith in reliance and accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel or accountants shall be full protection and justification with respect to the action or omission so suffered or taken. The General Partner shall not be personally liable for the return of all or any part of a Limited Partner's Capital Contribution or payment of any amounts allocated to it or credited to its Capital Accounts, which return or payment shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Partnership's assets.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to carry out their intent as expressed above and in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Contributors hereby covenant and agree as follows: 1. Contribution and Reimbursement. (a) If, at any time, any Contributor gives notice (a "Contribution Notice") to the other Contributor of a Payment (which notice shall include either (x) a written notice or invoice from the Company requesting a Payment or (y) a certificate from the Contributor who has made all or any portion of a Payment stating that it has made such Payment), then the other Contributor (i) shall be responsible for, and shall pay, such Contributor's Pro Rata Portion of such Payment to the Company, and (ii) shall, without duplication, reimburse the other Contributor (as required based on the amount of such Payment made by each such other Contributor), in each case, in an amount equal to such Contributor's Pro Rata Portion of such Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of this Section 1 is to apportion the cumulative, aggregate amounts required to be paid by, and actually paid by, any Contributor and the other Contributor (directly or indirectly) as or in respect of Payments on a several basis between the Contributors in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions. (b) For purposes of this Agreement: (x) "Payment" or "Payments" means any amount required to be paid or paid, directly or indirectly (i) to the Company by any Contributor in respect of the Obligations, and (ii) in respect of any liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, judgments and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, out-of-pocket expenses for investigation, defense and enforcement, and reasonable attorney's fees) incurred, paid or sustained, directly or indirectly (if applicable), in connection with the Obligations; and (y) "Pro Rata Portion" with respect to any Contributor means the percentage set forth next to such Contributor's name on Exhibit A attached hereto. (c) All amounts due hereunder shall be paid, or, as applicable, reimbursed by the Contributors in immediately available funds to the Company or the other Contributor within two (2) Business Days after receipt by a Contributor of a Contribution Notice and any amounts not paid within such time shall accrue interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (compounded quarterly), but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Each Contributor hereby waives any right to question the validity or amount of any Payment made by the other Contributor, it being intended that the actual payment to the Company of any Payment or the incurrence of any liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, judgments and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, out-of-pocket expenses for investigation, defense and enforcement, and reasonable attorney's fees) referred to in the definition of "Payment" in Section 1(a) shall conclusively establish any Contributor's (who has made a Payment) right to be reimbursed pursuant to this Section 1. 2. Obligations Unconditional; No Prohibition on Rights and Remedies for Breach of Transactions Agreements. (a) The payment and reimbursement obligations of each Contributor under this Agreement are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Company's rights under the Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement and the Letter Agreements or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of the parties hereto that such obligations shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. With respect to its obligations hereunder, except as set forth in the first sentence of Section 1(a) hereof, each 2 Contributor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any other Contributor exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any person or entity. (b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude or prohibit any Contributor from taking any actions and otherwise exercising any rights or remedies, at law or in equity, against the other Contributor with respect to such other Contributor's breach of the Letter Agreements, the Transaction Agreements or any other documents or agreements entered into in connection therewith. Each of the Contributors acknowledges, and agrees to, the immediately preceding sentence. 3. Reinstatement. The payment and reimbursement obligations of each Contributor under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of such Contributor in respect of any obligation hereunder is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by the person or entity receiving such payment, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 4. Representations and Warranties. Each Contributor, severally but not jointly, represents and warrants to the other Contributor as to itself as follows: (a) Such Contributor has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver, perform and observe the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment of all moneys hereunder. (b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Contributor of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action under its constituent documents. (c) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Contributor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability to bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and general equity principles. (d) No authorization, approval, consent or permission (governmental or otherwise) of any court, agency, commission or other authority or entity is required for the due execution, delivery, performance or observance by such Contributor of this Agreement or for the payment of any sums hereunder. (e) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Contributor, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, conflicts or will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the constituent documents of such Contributor, or of any law, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority, or of any agreement or instrument to which such Contributor is a party or by which it is bound, or constitutes or will constitute a default thereunder. 5. Notices. All notices, consents, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) in accordance with Section 13 of the Equity 3 Purchase and Commitment Agreement (it being understood that notice given or made to an Affiliate of a Contributor if such Affiliate is a party to the Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement shall be deemed to be a notice given or made to such Contributor). 6. Taxes. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made without any withholding on account of taxes, levies, duties or any other deduction whatsoever. If a Contributor is required by law to withhold or deduct any sum from payments required under this Agreement, such Contributor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the amount paid by it so that, after all withholdings and deductions, the amount received by the applicable receiving party shall equal the amount such receiving party would have received without any such deduction. 7. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof). In addition, each party (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of New York, New York County solely for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding between any of the parties hereto arising out of this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, (iii) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that the courts of the State of New York, New York County are an inconvenient forum for any action, suit or proceeding between any of the parties hereto arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (iv) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than the courts of the State of New York, New York County and (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law, consents to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 5. 8. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No party hereto shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 11) of delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any party hereto, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate 4 as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that would otherwise be available on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 11. Amendments and Waivers. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended or supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each party hereto. 12. Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Rights. No party may assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of each other party hereto. Any purported assignment or delegation made without the prior written consent of each other party hereto shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of each party and such successors and permitted assigns.

No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Contributor acknowledges and agrees that (i) no person or entity other than a Contributor shall have any obligation under this Agreement, (ii) no recourse under this Agreement shall be had against any past, current or future officer, director, agent, employee, affiliate or advisor of any Contributor, or any past, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, advisor, general or limited partner, member, stockholder, affiliate, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Relevant Persons"), as such, whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or by virtue of any law or otherwise and (iii) no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Relevant Person, as such, for any obligation of the applicable Contributor under this Agreement or for any claim relating to, based on, or in respect of or by reason of such obligation. 15.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to carry out their intent as expressed above and in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Contributors hereby covenant and agree as follows: 1. Contribution and Reimbursement. (a) If, at any time, any Contributor gives notice (a "Contribution Notice") to the other Contributors of a Payment (which notice shall include either (x) a written notice or invoice from the Company requesting a Payment or (y) a certificate from the Contributor who has made all or any portion of a Payment stating that it has made such Payment), then each Contributor (i) shall be responsible for, and shall pay, such Contributor's Pro Rata Portion of such Payment to the Company, and (ii) shall, without duplication, reimburse the other Contributors (as required based on the amount of such Payment made by each such other Contributor), in each case, in an amount equal to such Contributor's Pro Rata Portion of such Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of this Section 1 is to apportion the cumulative, aggregate amounts required to be paid by, and actually paid by, any Contributor and all of the Contributors (directly or indirectly) as or in respect of Payments on a several basis among all Contributors in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions. Without limiting the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the other provisions of this Agreement or the rights and remedies of any Contributor with respect thereto, if any Contributor fails to pay or reimburse all or any portion of such Contributor's Pro Rata Portion of any Payment (any such amount, a "Shortfall"), and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days after the due date for such payment or reimbursement, each non-defaulting Contributor, in addition to its respective obligations set forth above, (A) shall be responsible for, and shall pay to the Company or, as the case may be, such other person or entity referred to in the first sentence of this Section 1(a), its proportional share of the Shortfall based its Pro Rata Portion, but excluding the Pro Rata Portion of the defaulting Contributor (the "Adjusted Pro Rata Portion"), and (B) shall, without duplication, reimburse any non-defaulting Contributor (as required based on the amount of the respective payments made by such non-defaulting Contributors with respect to such Shortfall), in each case, in an amount equal to the non-defaulting Contributor's Adjusted Pro Rata Portion of such Shortfall; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve or release a defaulting Contributor from any of its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to reimburse the non-defaulting Contributors for any payment or reimbursement made by the non-defaulting Contributors with respect to any Shortfall. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Contributor shall only be required to make a Payment pursuant to the terms hereof if the Obligation to which the Contribution Notice relates arises out of circumstances existing on or prior to the Closing Date. (b) For purposes of this Agreement: (x) "Payment" or "Payments" means any amount required to be paid or paid, directly or indirectly (i) (A) to the Company by any 2 Contributor in respect of the Obligations (including any liabilities, penalties, losses, damages, deficiencies and judgments required to be paid in respect thereto and including any payment to the Company or Cerberus made by AMLP pursuant to the App/Cerb Contribution Agreement) or any Shortfall, or (B) otherwise to Cerberus in respect of the Obligations (including any liabilities, penalties, losses, damages, deficiencies and judgments required to be paid, in respect thereto); provided, however, that in no event shall any Contributor be required to make payments pursuant to this subsection (x)(i) for an aggregate amount in excess of $250 million, and (ii) in respect of any interest, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) for investigation, defense and enforcement of the Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement in respect of the Obligations, the provisions of this Agreement and the App/Cerb Contribution Agreement and (y) "Pro Rata Portion" with respect to any Contributor means the percentage of the Payment payable hereunder by such Contributor, whether to the Company or to any other entity, which percentage shall initially be the percentage set forth next to such Contributor's name on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Pro Rata Portion shall only be changed in connection with the occurrence of the events set forth in Section 1(d) in which case, the percentage for each Contributor shall be calculated by dividing (A) the aggregate amount required to be paid by such Contributors, in each case, for (x) the Direct Subscription Shares, (y) the Series B Preferred Stock, and (z) the Series A-2 Preferred Stock (provide that the amount required to be paid in respect of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be calculated based on each Contributor's proposed economic interest in the Series A-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to the certain Agreement of Limited Partnership of Del A-2 L.P. dated as of even date herewith), by (B) the sum of the payments under subsection (A) with respect to all Contributors. (c) All amounts due hereunder shall be paid, or, as applicable, reimbursed by the Contributors in immediately available funds to the Company or, as the case may be, another Contributor within two (2) Business Days after receipt by the Contributors of a Contribution Notice (or, with respect to payments and reimbursements in connection with any Shortfall, within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period referred to in Section 1(a)) and any amounts not paid within such time shall accrue interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (compounded quarterly), but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Each Contributor hereby waives any right to question the validity or amount of any Payment made by any other Contributor, it being intended that the actual payment to the Company of any Payment or the incurrence of any liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, judgments and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, out-of-pocket expenses for investigation, defense and enforcement, and reasonable attorney's fees) referred to in the definition of "Payment" in Section 1(a) shall conclusively establish any Contributor's (who has made a Payment) right to be reimbursed pursuant to this Section 1. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1 or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the valid exercise of a Limited Termination of the Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, as to itself by Del-Auto (with respect to Harbinger), Merrill or UBS (any of Harbinger (with respect to such a termination by Del-Auto), Merrill or UBS so terminating, the "Terminating Contributor"), the Terminating Contributor shall have no obligations or liabilities under this Agreement with respect to Payments to the extent arising out of any facts or circumstances occurring entirely after the date of such Limited Termination by the Terminating 3 Contributor; provided, that, any such Terminating Contributor shall remain obligated and liable under this Agreement with respect to Payments to the extent arising out of any facts or circumstances occurring on or prior to the date of such termination by the Terminating Contributor. If as a result of such Limited Termination a Related Purchaser or an Ultimate Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase the Available Investor Shares pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement, it shall be a condition precedent to such Related Purchaser or Ultimate Purchaser becoming a party to the Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement or otherwise becoming obligated to purchase such shares that such Related Purchaser or Ultimate Purchaser becomes a Contributor by becoming a party to this Agreement and, upon such event, the Pro Rata Portion of the Contributors shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1(b). 2. Obligations Unconditional; No Prohibition on Rights and Remedies for Breach of Transactions Agreements. (a) The payment and reimbursement obligations of each Contributor under this Agreement are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Company's rights under the Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement and the Letter Agreements or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of the parties hereto that such obligations shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. With respect to its obligations hereunder, except as set forth in the first sentence of Section 1(a) hereof, each Contributor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any other Contributor exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any person or entity. (b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude or prohibit any Contributor from taking any actions and otherwise exercising any rights or remedies, at law or in equity, against any other Contributor with respect to such other Contributor's breach of the Letter Agreements, the Transaction Agreements or any other documents or agreements entered into in connection therewith. Each of the Contributors acknowledges, and agrees to, the immediately preceding sentence. 3. Reinstatement. The payment and reimbursement obligations of each Contributor under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of such Contributor in respect of any obligation hereunder is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by the person or entity receiving such payment, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 4. Representations and Warranties. Each Contributor, severally but not jointly, represents and warrants to the other Contributors as to itself as follows: (a) Such Contributor has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver, perform and observe the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment of all moneys hereunder. 4 (b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Contributor of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action under its constituent documents.

Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No party hereto shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 11) of delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any party hereto, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that would otherwise be available on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 11. Amendments and Waivers. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended or supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each party hereto. 12. Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Rights. No party may assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of each other party hereto. Any purported assignment or delegation made without the prior written consent of each other party hereto shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of each party and such successors and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns and no other person or entity. 6 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, including by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 14.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Contributor acknowledges and agrees that (i) no person or entity other than a Contributor shall have any obligation under this Agreement, (ii) no recourse under this Agreement shall be had against any past, current or future officer, director, agent, employee, affiliate or advisor of any Contributor, or any past, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, advisor, general or limited partner, member, stockholder, affiliate, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Relevant Persons"), as such, whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or by virtue of any law or otherwise and (iii) no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Relevant Person, as such, for any obligation of the applicable Contributor under this Agreement or for any claim relating to, based on, or in respect of or by reason of such obligation. 15.
