TO THE HONORABLE
UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE:
Chrysler LLC ("Chrysler") and 24 of its domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries,
as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively with Chrysler, the "Debtors"), respectfully
represent as follows:
Background
1. On the date hereof (the "Petition Date"), the Debtors commenced their
reorganization cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the
United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). By a motion filed on the Petition Date,
the Debtors have requested that their chapter 11 cases be consolidated for procedural purposes
manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
(collectively, the "Chrysler Companies") comprise one of the world's largest manufacturers and
distributors of automobiles and other vehicles, together with related parts and accessories. On
the Petition Date, the Chrysler Companies employed approximately 55,000 hourly and salaried
employees worldwide, 70% of whom were based in the United States. In addition, as of the
Petition Date, the Debtors made payments for health care and related benefits to more than
105,000 retirees.
Parent"), also owns a financing company, nondebtor Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC
("Chrysler Financial"), that operates under a governance structure separate from Chrysler, with
-2-
NYI-4179615v5
its own board and management. Historically, Chrysler Financial has provided financing to both
5. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Chrysler Companies
recorded revenue of more than $48.4 billion and had assets of approximately $39.3 billion and
the events leading to the commencement of these cases, can be found in the Affidavit of
Ronald E. Kolka, which was filed contemporaneously herewith and is incorporated herein by
reference.
States economy is difficult to overstate. In connection with the filing, Chrysler is seeking
approval from this Court to consummate the only sale transaction that preserves some portion of
its business as a going concern and averts a liquidation of historic proportions. If the proposed
transaction, designed to effect an alliance with Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat S.p.A.
("Fiat"), is rejected and Chrysler liquidates, it will mean the end of an iconic, 83-year-old
American car company whose name has been synonymous with innovative engineering, from the
Slant-Six and HEMI engines, to power windows, power brakes and power steering, to the
minivan. A liquidation would also have impacts on the nation's economy and Chrysler's
• 38,500 hourly and salaried Chrysler workers in the U.S. will lose their jobs;
• Chrysler's workers and retirees and their surviving spouses will lose over
$9.8 billion of health care and other benefits and $2 billion in annual pension
payments;
-3-
NYI-4179615v5
• All 23 of Chrysler's manufacturing plants and facilities and 15 parts depots in
the United States will shut down (as well as 18 additional plants and parts
depots worldwide);
• Approximately 3,200 Chrysler dealers will be put out of business and the over
140,000 employees of those dealerships will lose their jobs;
• Over $5.7 billion in outstanding auto parts and service supplier invoices will
not be paid to Chrysler's suppliers and new business will be cancelled, forcing
hundreds of suppliers out of business and the loss of hundreds of thousands of
additional jobs;
• Over 31 million Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge owners would lose significant
value in their cars and trucks, particularly due to questions about the ongoing
availability of warranties and replacement parts and services;
• Local, state and federal governments will lose tens of billions of dollars in tax
revenues, according to a research memorandum published by the Center for
Automotive Research in November 2008;1
• Over $100 billion in annual sales will disappear from local economies; and
• Chrysler's first lien secured creditors will receive net present value recoveries
of less than 38 cents on the dollar and possibly as little as 9 cents; the U.S.
government, another secured creditor, will receive less than that; and
Chrysler's unsecured creditors will receive nothing.
Chrysler's chapter 11 cases and the need for the proposed sale transaction are well known, but
sobering nonetheless. The automotive market meltdown, the worst in at least 26 years,2
disrupted Chrysler's substantial progress in implementing a long-term plan to reduce costs and
transform its businesses for the next generation of cars. With sales plummeting and credit
markets frozen, Chrysler undertook an intense effort to address the challenges it faced. After
months of hard work and dedication by Chrysler's management, employees and advisors,

NYI-4179615v5
working with all key stakeholders and with the support of the U.S. government, the Debtors have
commenced these cases to implement a prompt sale to preserve the going concern value of their
Manufacturers ("OEMs") and creating billions of dollars in synergies. This transaction is the
result of thousands of hours of negotiations among multiple parties. The transaction is being
financially backed by the United States Department of the Treasury (the "U.S. Treasury") and
Export Development Canada, an affiliate of the Canadian government, which together will
provide the new alliance with approximately $6 billion of taxpayer money to start up and
maintain operations. In addition to this unprecedented government support, virtually all of the
major constituencies that would be affected by a Chrysler liquidation have recognized how
devastating it would be and have made important concessions in support of the proposed
alliance:
• Chrysler's dealers have agreed to reduce their dealer and service contract
margins;
-5-
NYI-4179615v5
• Chrysler Parent's minority shareholder, Daimler AG ("Daimler"), has agreed
as part of a settlement with Chrysler to (a) forgive $1.5 billion of second lien
debt, at the same time that $500 million of second lien debt is forgiven by
majority shareholder Cerberus Capital Management L.P. ("Cerberus"); and
(b) assist in funding Chrysler's pension plans.
Representatives of these constituencies have devoted the past six months to reaching these
agreements.
10. As the culmination of these efforts, Chrysler, Fiat and New Chrysler (as
defined below) have reached an agreement in principle and are expected to entered into a Master
Transaction Agreement (collectively with other ancillary and supporting documents, the
"Purchase Agreement") in short order. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, among other things:
(a) Chrysler will transfer the majority of its operating assets to New CarCo Acquisition LLC
("New Chrysler"), a newly established Delaware limited liability company that currently is an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiat; and (b) in exchange for those assets, New Chrysler
will assume certain liabilities of Chrysler and pay to Chrysler $2 billion in cash (collectively
with the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the "Fiat Transaction").
11. With the support of the U.S. government, Fiat, the UAW, dealers,
suppliers and other stakeholders, the Debtors commenced these cases to implement an
expeditious sale process to implement the Fiat Transaction, or a similar transaction with a
competing bidder, designed to maximize the value of the Debtors' operations and businesses for
the benefit of their stakeholders. Pending the proposed sale, the Debtors will idle most
operations as they conserve their resources, while at the same time ensuring that (a) the facilities
are prepared to resume normal production schedules quickly upon the completion of a sale and
12. Time is of the essence. Given the continuing stress on all aspects of the
automotive industry and the idling of the Debtors' manufacturing facilities, key relationships
-6-
NYI-4179615v5
with suppliers, dealers and other business partners simply cannot be preserved if the sale process
is not concluded quickly. Absent a prompt sale, approved and consummated in the coming
weeks, the value of the Debtors' assets will rapidly decline and the ability to achieve a going
concern sale will be irretrievably lost. By contrast, the proposed sale transaction, if it can be
promptly consummated, will maximize the value available for stakeholders, will save hundreds
of thousands of jobs and will strengthen the U.S. automotive sector and the economy generally.
Jurisdiction
13. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b). Venue is proper
Relief Requested
14. Pursuant to sections 327(a), 328(a), 329(a) and 364 of the Bankruptcy

(the "Bankruptcy Rules") and Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1 of the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Local Bankruptcy
Rules"), the Debtors hereby seek the entry of an order authorizing them to retain and employ
Jones Day as counsel in these chapter 11 cases, nunc pro tunc as of the Petition Date.3 In
support of this Application, the Debtors submit (a) the Declaration of Corinne Ball, a partner in
Jones Day (the "Ball Declaration"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

Nunc pro tunc retention is appropriate because (a) this Application was filed on the Petition Date, (b) Jones

Argument
11 U.S.C. § 327(a). Section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code modifies sections 101(14) and
327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and provides
that "a person is not disqualified for employment under section 327 of [the Bankruptcy Code] by
authorized to employ professional persons "on any reasonable terms and conditions of
Rule 2014-1,5 this Application and the Ball Declaration set forth: (a) the specific facts showing

Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code defines the term "disinterested person" as:
a person that —
(A) is not a creditor, an equity security holder, or an insider;
(B) is not and was not, within 2 years before the date of the filing of the
petition, a director, officer, or employee of the debtor; and
(C) does not have an interest materially adverse to the interest of the estate
or of any class of creditors or equity security holders, by reason of any
direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in, the
debtor, or for any other reason.

the necessity for Jones Day's employment; (b) the reasons for the Debtors' selection of Jones Day
as their restructuring counsel in connection with their chapter 11 cases; (c) the professional
services to be provided by Jones Day; (d) the arrangement between the Debtors and Jones Day
with respect to Jones Day's compensation (as well as the reasonableness thereof); and (e) to the
best of the Debtors' knowledge, the extent of Jones Day's connections, if any, to certain parties in
including Jones Day, will incur significant fees in connection with the Debtors' efforts to
preserve, protect and maximize the value of their assets under difficult and challenging
circumstances. As such, Jones Day and other estate professionals will be extending significant
amounts of credit to the Debtors to assist them in their efforts to pursue available opportunities in
these chapter 11 cases. Under the circumstances, the fees and expenses of Jones Day and other
estate professionals should be granted superpriority status pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Granting superpriority status will ensure that Jones Day and other estate
(. . . continued)
shall state the specific facts showing the necessity for the employment, the name
of the person to be employed, the reasons for the selection, the professional
services to be rendered, any proposed arrangement for compensation, and, to the
best of the applicant's knowledge, all of the person's connections with the
debtor, creditors, any other party in interest, their respective attorneys and
accountants, the United States trustee, or any person employed in the office of
the United States trustee. The application shall be accompanied by a verified
statement of the person to be employed setting forth the person's connections
with the debtor, creditors, any other party in interest, their respective attorneys
and accountants, the United States trustee, or any person employed in the office
of the United States trustee.
Local Bankruptcy Rule 2014-1 further provides that "[a]n application for the employment of a professional
person pursuant to §§ 327 and 328 of the Bankruptcy Code shall state the specific facts showing the
reasonableness of the terms and conditions of the employment, including the terms of any retainer, hourly
fee, or contingent fee arrangement."
-9-

professionals are not placed at unnecessary risk of funding the Debtors' chapter 11 cases.
Moreover, any fees and expenses will remain in all cases subject to review and allowance under
sections 328, 330 and 331 and the other applicable requirements established by the Bankruptcy
Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Bankruptcy Rules, U.S. Trustee Guidelines and orders of
this Court.
19. Jones Day is particularly well qualified to serve as the Debtors' counsel in
these chapter 11 cases. Jones Day is one of the largest law firms in the world, with a national
and international practice, and has substantial experience in virtually all aspects of the law that
may arise in these chapter 11 cases, including antitrust, bankruptcy, corporate, employee
benefits, environmental, finance, intellectual property, labor and employment, litigation, mergers
100 attorneys practicing in offices throughout the United States and overseas. Jones Day's
restructuring professionals have played significant roles in a wide array of chapter 11 cases,
including those of Allegheny Health, Education and Research Foundation; Allied Stores

21. Jones Day also is intimately familiar with the Debtors' businesses and
financial affairs. Jones Day's professionals have worked closely with the Debtors' management
and other professionals in connection with various prepetition matters, including by:
(a) providing advice in connection with the Debtors' prepetition restructuring efforts and their
efforts to obtain emergency financial assistance from the U.S. government; (b) assisting the
Debtors in their efforts to document and implement the Fiat Transaction; and (c) preparing for
the commencement of these chapter 11 cases. As a result, Jones Day's lawyers have become
well acquainted with the Debtors' history, business operations, capital structure and related
-11-
NYI-4179615v5
matters. Accordingly, Jones Day has developed substantial knowledge regarding the Debtors
that will allow Jones Day to provide effective and efficient services in these chapter 11 cases.6
pursuant to the terms of this Application and the parties' engagement letter, dated
November 20, 2008 and attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Engagement Letter"),7 is appropriate
and necessary to enable the Debtors to execute faithfully their duties as debtors and debtors in
possession and to be able to implement a successful sale transaction. The Engagement Letter
describes (a) certain of the services that Jones Day anticipates performing for the Debtors in
these chapter 11 cases and (b) the terms and conditions of Jones Day's proposed engagement by
the Debtors.
23. The Debtors anticipate that Jones Day will render general legal services to
the Debtors as needed throughout the course of these chapter 11 cases, including bankruptcy,
employee benefits, environmental, finance, general corporate, intellectual property, labor and
employment, litigation, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, securities and tax advice, as well as
advice in international and cross-border issues. In particular, the Debtors anticipate that Jones

By contrast, Jones Day has not represented, and does not represent Chrysler Financial. As described above,
Chrysler Financial has its own separate board and governance and is represented by separate counsel.

Any references to, or summaries of, the Engagement Letter herein are qualified by the express terms of the
Engagement Letter, which shall govern if there is any conflict between the Engagement Letter and the
summaries provided herein. Capitalized terms and phrases not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Engagement Letter.
-12-
NYI-4179615v5
(b) preparing on behalf of the Debtors all necessary and appropriate
applications, motions, draft orders, other pleadings, notices, schedules and
other documents, and reviewing all financial and other reports to be filed
in these chapter 11 cases;
(c) advising the Debtors concerning, and preparing responses to, applications,
motions, other pleadings, notices and other papers that may be filed by
other parties in these chapter 11 cases;
(d) advising the Debtors with respect to, and assisting in the negotiation and
documentation of, financing agreements and related transactions;
(e) reviewing the nature and validity of any liens asserted against the Debtors'
property and advising the Debtors concerning the enforceability of such
liens;
(f) advising the Debtors regarding their ability to initiate actions to collect
and recover property for the benefit of their estates;
(g) advising and assisting the Debtors in connection with any commercial
transactions, including the Fiat Transaction or other similar sale
transaction;
(i) advising the Debtors concerning executory contract and unexpired lease
assumptions, assignments and rejections and lease restructurings and
recharacterizations;
(j) advising the Debtors in connection with the formulation, negotiation and
promulgation of a chapter 11 plan or plans, and related transactional
documents;
(m) providing non-bankruptcy services for the Debtors to the extent requested
by the Debtors; and
-13-
NYI-4179615v5
(n) performing all other necessary and appropriate legal services in
connection with these chapter 11 cases for or on behalf of the Debtors.
24. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Application, the Debtors are
filing, or anticipate filing shortly: (a) an application to retain Togut, Segal & Segal, LLP
("Togut") as conflicts counsel; (b) an application to retain Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP ("SRZ") as
special counsel and (c) a motion seeking authority to continue to employ, retain and pay certain
professionals (the "Ordinary Course Professionals"), including certain counsel, in the ordinary
course of business on terms substantially similar to those in effect prior to the Petition Date,
without the need to file individual retention applications for each of these professionals. Because
each counsel will have a well-defined role, Jones Day, Togut, SRZ and the Ordinary Course
Professionals will not duplicate the services they provide to the Debtors. Jones Day, Togut, SRZ
and the Ordinary Course Professionals will function cohesively to ensure that legal services
provided to the Debtors by each firm are not duplicative. Moreover, at all stages of these
chapter 11 proceedings, Chrysler's legal department will supervise the various legal professionals
retained by the Debtors to further ensure that no firm duplicates the services provided by another.
professional services. As noted above, Jones Day has substantial expertise in all of these areas
and has obtained valuable institutional knowledge of the Debtors' business and financial affairs
as a result of its representation of the Debtors prior to the Petition Date. Accordingly, the
Debtors respectfully submit that Jones Day is uniquely well qualified to perform these services
26. Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, and subject to the Court's
approval of this Application, Jones Day intends to (a) charge for its legal services on an hourly
-14-
NYI-4179615v5
basis in accordance with the ordinary and customary hourly rates in effect on the date services
are rendered and (b) seek reimbursement of actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses.
27. The names, positions, practice groups, resident offices and current hourly
rates of certain Jones Day lawyers currently expected to spend significant time on these
chapter 11 cases are attached to the Ball Declaration as Schedule 3.8 The general ranges of
billing rates currently in effect for Jones Day's attorneys, para-professionals and service
providers in North America are described in Schedule 4 to the Ball Declaration. Jones Day's
hourly rates are comparable to those charged by attorneys of similar experience and expertise for
engagements of scope and complexity similar to these chapter 11 cases. In addition, Jones Day
has further agreed to not charge the Debtors for fees relating to non-working travel time by any
professionals during the pendency of these chapter 11 cases.9 For all of these reasons, Jones
Day's rates are reasonable and appropriate and constitute "reasonable terms and conditions of
28. Jones Day intends to maintain detailed contemporaneous time records and
apply to the Court for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses in accordance
with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Bankruptcy
Rules and any additional procedures that may be established by the Court in these chapter 11
cases. In addition, Jones Day has agreed to accept as compensation such sums as may be
8
Schedule 3 to the Ball Declaration is not intended to be, and is not, a comprehensive list and is provided
only to indicate current hourly rates charged by Jones Day for certain lawyers expected to have a
significant role in these cases. It is anticipated that other or different Jones Day lawyers will be involved in
these cases to provide services to the Debtors as necessary or appropriate.
9
Jones Day, however, intends to seek reimbursement for its out-of-pocket travel expenses.
-15-
NYI-4179615v5
allowed by the Court. Jones Day understands that interim and final fee awards are subject to
Day's connections to the Debtors and parties in interest in these cases. In reliance on the Ball
Declaration, and except as set forth therein, the Debtors believe that: (a) Jones Day has no
connection with the Debtors, their affiliates, their creditors, the United States Trustee for the
Southern District of New York (the "U.S. Trustee"), any person employed in the office of the
U.S. Trustee or any other party with an actual or potential interest in these chapter 11 cases or
their respective attorneys or accountants; (b) Jones Day is not a creditor, equity security holder or
insider of the Debtors; (c) none of Jones Day's partners or associates is, or was within two years
of the Petition Date, a director, officer or employee of the Debtors; and (d) Jones Day neither
holds nor represents an interest adverse to the Debtors, their respective estates or any class of
creditors or equity security holders, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection
with or interest in the Debtors, or for any other reason. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that
Jones Day is a "disinterested person," as defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and
30. On November 21, 2008, the Debtors provided Jones Day with an advance
payment of $1,000,000.00 (the "Initial Deposit") to establish a retainer (the "Retainer") pay for
legal services rendered or to be rendered by Jones Day in connection with the Debtors' efforts to
pursue a possible out-of-court restructuring and in preparation for the commencement of these
chapter 11 cases. Pursuant to paragraph 4 of the Engagement Letter, the Debtors replenished and
-16-
NYI-4179615v5
maintained the Retainer through the provision of subsequent deposits (collectively,
The source of the Initial Deposit and all of the Replenishing Deposits comprising the Retainer
31. From time to time, Jones Day has applied the Retainer proceeds to actual
fees and expenses and, in one instance immediately prior to the Petition Date, to estimated fees
and expenses (collectively, the "Prepetition Draws"). These Prepetition Draws totaled
unapplied.10
10
Jones Day is in the process of adjusting the Retainer amount downwards. Jones Day has not yet reconciled
its actual fees and expenses through the Petition Date against estimated fees and expenses through the
Petition Date. Any Prepetition Draws in excess of Jones Day's actual fees and expenses for the applicable
invoice period will be added to, and treated as part of, the Retainer. Any shortfall in the Prepetition Draws
compared to Jones Day's actual fees and expenses will result in an application, and corresponding reduction
in the amount, of the Retainer. Accordingly, the amount of the Retainer remaining after (a) the
reconciliation of any estimated Prepetition Draws and (b) the application of the Prepetition Draws and the
Retainer to Jones Day's actual fees and expenses for the prepetition period, may differ from the amount
stated above. Jones Day expects to: (a) complete its reconciliation of prepetition fees and expenses
actually incurred through the Petition Date no later than the filing of its first interim fee application in these
cases; and (b) make a corresponding adjustment to the amount and application of the Retainer described in
the text above on or about that date.
-17-
NYI-4179615v5
32. Pursuant to paragraph 4 of the Engagement Letter, upon the conclusion of
Jones Day's representation of the Debtors (or as otherwise directed by the Court), Jones Day will
apply any remaining portion of the Retainer against any unpaid fees or unreimbursed
disbursements, with any unapplied portion of the Retainer to be promptly returned to the
Debtors.
Notice
Notice of this Application has been given to: (a) the Office of the United States Trustee for the
Southern District of New York or U.S. Trustee if defined earlier; (b) the creditors holding the 50

4. Jones Day also is intimately familiar with the Debtors' businesses and
financial affairs. Jones Day's professionals have worked closely with the Debtors' management
and other professionals in connection with various prepetition matters, including by:
(a) providing advice in connection with the Debtors' prepetition restructuring efforts and their
efforts to obtain emergency financial assistance from the U.S. government; (b) assisting the
Debtors in their efforts to document and implement the Fiat Transaction; and (c) preparing for
the commencement of these chapter 11 cases. As a result, Jones Day's lawyers have become
well acquainted with the Debtors' history, business operations, capital structure and related
matters. Accordingly, Jones Day has developed substantial knowledge regarding the Debtors
that will allow Jones Day to provide effective and efficient services in these chapter 11 cases.2
5. Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, and subject to the Court's
approval of the Application, Jones Day intends to (a) charge for its legal services on an hourly
basis in accordance with the ordinary and customary hourly rates in effect on the date services
are rendered3 and (b) seek reimbursement of actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses.
2
By contrast Jones Day has not represented, and does not represent Chrysler Financial. As described in the
Application, Chrysler Financial has its own separate board and governance and is represented by separate
counsel.
3
The hourly rates charged by Jones Day professionals differ based on, among other things, the professional's
level of experience and the rates normally charged in the specific office in which the professional is
resident.
NYI-4179615v5 -3-
6. The names, positions, practice groups, resident offices and current hourly
rates of certain Jones Day lawyers currently expected to spend significant time on these
chapter 11 cases are attached hereto as Schedule 3. 4 Schedule 4 identifies the general ranges of
billing rates currently in effect for Jones Day's North American attorneys, para-professionals and
service providers. Jones Day's hourly rates may change from time to time in accordance with
Jones Day's established billing practices and procedures. Jones Day's hourly rates are
comparable to those charged by attorneys of similar experience and expertise for engagements of
scope and complexity similar to these chapter 11 cases. For all of these reasons, Jones Day's
apply to the Court for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses in accordance
with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Bankruptcy
Rules and any additional procedures that may be established by the Court in these chapter 11
cases. In addition, Jones Day has agreed to accept as compensation such sums as may be
allowed by the Court. Jones Day understands that interim and final fee awards are subject to
8. The Debtors have provided Jones Day with a list of the names

Schedule 3 hereto is not intended to be, and is not, a comprehensive list and is provided only to indicate
current hourly rates charged by Jones Day for certain lawyers expected to have a significant role in these
cases. It is anticipated that other or different Jones Day lawyers will be involved in these cases to provide
services to the Debtors as necessary or appropriate.
NYI-4179615v5 -4-
(c) domestic and foreign joint ventures of the Debtors;
(g) the ultimate owners of the Debtors (i.e., the members of Chrysler's
ultimate parent);
(k) the professionals and service providers that the Debtors have
identified for employment as retained professionals;
NYI-4179615v5 -5-
(w) the Debtors' major lessors and related entities;
(ee) the bankruptcy judges for the Southern District of New York; and
(ff) the attorneys for the United States Trustee's Office for the
Southern District of New York (the "U.S. Trustee").
The identities of the Interested Parties are set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.
to determine all "connections" (as such term is used in Bankruptcy Rule 2014) to the Debtors,
their creditors, other parties in interest, their respective attorneys and accountants, the
U.S. Trustee or any person employed in the office of the U.S. Trustee, Jones Day researched its
client database for the past two years to determine whether it had any relationships with the
Interested Parties. To the extent that Jones Day's research of its relationships with the Interested
Parties to date indicates that Jones Day has represented in the past two years, or currently
represents, any of these entities in matters unrelated to these chapter 11 cases, the identities of
these parties and their relationships to the Debtors and connections to Jones Day, are set forth in
Schedule 2 hereto.
10. To the best of my knowledge and belief, insofar as I have been able to
ascertain after reasonable inquiry, neither I, nor Jones Day nor any partner or associate thereof
NYI-4179615v5 -6-
has any connection with the Debtors, their creditors, the U.S. Trustee or any other party with an
actual or potential interest in these chapter 11 cases, or their respective attorneys or accountants,
(a) Jones Day has not, does not and will not represent any entities
other than the Debtors and the other Chrysler Companies in matters directly related to
these chapter 11 cases. Jones Day will not represent any entity adverse to the Debtors in
connection with these chapter 11 cases.
(b) Prior to the Petition Date, Jones Day performed certain legal
services for certain of the Debtors, as described herein and in the Application. As
described in the Disclosure of Compensation, after Jones Day's reconciliation of the
Prepetition Draws and the completion of any necessary adjustments to the amount and
application of Retainer proceeds, the Debtors do not owe Jones Day any amount for
services performed prior to the Petition Date.

On April 27, 2009, Chrysler, Daimler and certain of its affiliates, certain affiliates of Cerberus and the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") entered into a Binding Term Sheet for a settlement
under which, among other things, (a) Daimler's equity interest in Chrysler Parent will be redeemed;
(b) $1.5 billion of Chrysler's second lien debt owed to DaimlerChrysler North America Finance
Corporation, plus accrued interest therein, will be forgiven if Cerberus likewise forgives $500 million in
second lien debt owed by Chrysler; (c) Daimler will make certain cash contributions to Chrysler's pension
plans in the amounts of $200 million when the definitive Settlement Agreement and Redemption
Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") is signed, $200 million on the one-year anniversary of the
execution of the Settlement Agreement and $200 million on the second anniversary (collectively, the "Cash
Contributions"); (d) Daimler will remain obligated for a $200 million guaranty, in addition to the Cash
Contributions, if Chrysler's pensions plans are terminated; and (e) Chrysler, Chrysler Parent, Cerberus and
Daimler and certain affiliates will waive certain potential claims against each other. This settlement
remains subject to execution of a mutually satisfactory Settlement Agreement. Upon consummation of this
settlement, Daimler no longer will own any interest in Chrysler Parent, which will be 100% owned by
Cerberus affiliates.

and argued in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and is only
awaiting a decision of the Court. Jones Day, which played a limited special counsel role
in that matter, has completed its assigned work and closed its files, has so advised
Daimler, has no engagement letter for any further assignments and is in the process of
advising the appropriate courts of its withdrawal from this matter. The ATCA matter,
moreover, does not involve, and is wholly unrelated to, the Debtors or these chapter 11
cases. Jones Day does not and will not represent Daimler in any matters relating to the
Debtors or their chapter 11 cases. See also Schedule 2.

to which, except with GM's and the Debtors' permission, no lawyer or para-professional
employee of Jones Day involved in the representation of GM shall communicate with any
lawyer or para-professional employee involved in the proposed representation of the
Debtors by Jones Day, and vice versa. Nor shall any lawyer or para-professional
employee of Jones Day involved in the representation of GM access any files relating to
the proposed representation of the Debtors, and vice versa. Discussions of the GM
Transaction concluded prior to the Petition Date. Jones Day will not represent GM in any
matter adverse to the Debtor or their estates or with respect to any matters directly
relating to the Debtors or these chapter 11 cases.
NYI-4179615v5 -9-
Investment Partners L.P.; and (xlv) Yale University c/o Mfp Invest. Jones Day, however,
does not and will not represent any of these entities in matters relating to the Debtors or
their chapter 11 cases.
(j) In addition, from time to time, Jones Day likely has represented,
and likely will continue to represent, certain other creditors of the Debtors and various
other parties actually or potentially adverse to the Debtors in matters unrelated to the
Debtors or these chapter 11 cases. These relationships, and additional creditor
relationships, are identified in the attached Schedule 2. Jones Day, however, does not
NYI-4179615v5 -10-
and will not represent any of these entities in matters relating to the Debtors or their
chapter 11 cases.
(l) Jones Day has more than 2,400 attorneys and thousands of other
employees in 32 offices around the world. Certain Jones Day attorneys or employees,
including attorneys or employees that are involved in the Debtors' chapter 11 cases, are
customers of one of the Debtors' dealers or distributors, or otherwise own vehicles
manufactured by the Debtors, some of which may be subject to existing warranties or
service contracts. It also is possible that certain Jones Day attorneys or employees hold
interests in investments directly or indirectly relating to the Debtors.
been able to ascertain after reasonable inquiry, neither I, nor Jones Day nor any partner or
associate thereof holds or represents an interest adverse to the Debtors or their respective estates,
and Jones Day is a "disinterested person," as defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code
and as required by section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, in that: (a) Jones Day has no
connection with the Debtors, their creditors, the U.S. Trustee, any person employed in the office
of the U.S. Trustee or any other party with an actual or potential interest in these chapter 11 cases
or their respective attorneys or accountants, except as set forth herein; (b) Jones Day is not a
creditor, equity security holder or insider of the Debtors; (c) none of Jones Day's partners or
associates is, or was within two years of the Petition Date, a director, officer or employee of the
Debtors; and (d) Jones Day neither holds nor represents an interest materially adverse to the
Debtors, their respective estates or any class of creditors or equity security holders, by reason of
NYI-4179615v5 -11-
any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with or interest in the Debtors, or for any other
section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and as required by section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code.
12. Despite the efforts described above to identify and disclose connections
with parties in interest in these cases, because the Debtors are a large enterprise with millions of
potential creditors and other relationships, and because Jones Day is an international firm with
more than 2,400 attorneys in 32 offices, Jones Day is unable to state with certainty that every
client representation or other connection of Jones Day has been disclosed. In this regard, if Jones
Day discovers additional information that requires disclosure, Jones Day will file supplemental
