evidence: Troy, Michigan-based Delphi Corporation, once America's biggest auto-parts maker, obtained confirmation of a chapter 11 plan on January 25, 2008, but struggled throughout 2008–09 to secure $6.1 billion in exit financing or capital contemplated by the plan (including Delphi's inability to close on a $2.55 billion investment from private equity fund Appaloosa Management). Delphi filed for bankruptcy on October 8, 2005, in New York, listing $17 billion in assets and $22 billion in debt, including an $11 billion underfunded pension liability.
