SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE LLP

2010 MANAGEMENT VALUE CREATION PLAN
1.
Purpose.
The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding key employees of the Company, and promoting the creation of long-term value for the Members by closely aligning the interests of Participants with the Members. The Plan authorizes the award of Value Creation Awards to Participants to encourage such persons to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of value to the Members.
Capitalized terms have the meaning set forth in the Definitions Appendix.
2.
Administration.
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have the sole authority, in its absolute discretion, to (i) select Eligible Individuals to become Participants, (ii) grant Value Creation Awards, (iii) modify, amend or equitably adjust the Target Value of outstanding Value Creation Awards in the event of a Participant’s promotion or demotion, (iv) construe, interpret, and implement the Plan, (v) prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and (vi) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The determination of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan or any amounts payable hereunder shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Committee may delegate to officers, other members of the Board, or employees of the Company, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions, as the Committee may determine appropriate. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan.
3.
Value Creation Awards.
(a)From time to time, the Committee may grant Value Creation Awards by providing any Eligible Individual with a Participation Agreement, the execution of which by such Eligible Individual shall be a requirement to participation in this Plan. The grant of a Value Creation Award hereunder shall also be conditioned upon and subject to the Participant’s execution and delivery of a Noninterference Agreement to the Company.
(b)A Participant’s Value Creation Award shall be unvested as of the date of grant. The Participant shall vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Value Creation Award on the Full Vesting Date. In the event a Participant undergoes a Termination for any reason prior to the Full Vesting Date, the Participant’s Value Creation Award shall be forfeited without


1



payment, and the Participant shall have no further right with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Participant’s Termination is a Qualifying Termination, such Participant shall vest in a Pro Rata Percentage of his or her Value Creation Award as of such Qualifying Termination.
(c)The vested portion of each Value Creation Award shall be paid on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the applicable Settlement Date, which payment shall in all events occur prior to the 15th day of March of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Settlement Date occurs. As provided herein, the amount paid will be equal to the Payment Value of the Value Creation Award multiplied by either 100% (if fully vested) or the Pro Rata Percentage, whichever is applicable. The Payment Value will be calculated based on the Target Value of the Value Creation Award and the level of Company Equity Value achieved. The amount paid in connection with any Settlement Date shall be made in cash, membership interests, Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as may be provided in a Participant’s Participation Agreement or otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the Settlement Date; provided, that, any payment in the form of membership interests shall only be made to a Senior Executive and then only to the extent provided in the Participant’s Participation Agreement, and provided, further, in the case of a Senior Executive with a Settlement Date following a Change in Control, at the discretion of the Committee, the amount paid in connection with such Settlement Date may be paid in substantially the same form of consideration received by other equity interest holders of the Company in connection with such Change in Control (with the value of any securities delivered based on the fair market value of such securities as of the applicable Settlement Date, as determined by the Committee in good faith). For avoidance of doubt, if, after compliance by the Company with all of its obligations hereunder and under the applicable Participation Agreement, the Company is unable to promptly deliver to any Participant the membership interests or Common Stock required to be so delivered, the Committee may elect to distribute cash in lieu thereof that has the same value as the membership interests or Common Stock that were required to be delivered by the Company.
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Participant’s Participation Agreement to the contrary, pursuant to its authority to amend the Plan under Section 4(e) and its discretion with respect to amounts paid in connection with any Settlement Date under Section 3(c), the Committee has determined that the following provisions shall apply in the case of the December 31, 2012 Settlement Date:
(i) In the event the Committee determines to pay the vested portion of each Value Creation Award on the December 31, 2012 Settlement Date, then for purposes of determining the Average Common Equity Value for the December 31, 2012 Settlement Date, the Applicable Market Capitalization for each business day commencing December 17, 2012 through the December 31, 2012 Settlement Date shall be the average Applicable Market Capitalization for the ten business days ending on and including December 14, 2012.
(ii)The Company shall deduct from the amount payable to a participant all federal, state, local, and other taxes required to be withheld by law with


2



respect to such payment (such resulting amount, the “Net Amount”). Except as provided below, the Net Amount shall be paid in shares of Common Stock to those Participants who are Senior Executives and in cash to all other Participants.
(iii)The Net Amount payable to a Senior Executive shall be paid in shares of Common Stock, or in such combination of shares of Common Stock and cash elected by the Senior Executive in accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee. The number of shares of Common Stock paid shall be equal to the portion of the Net Amount payable to the Senior Executive in shares divided by the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed on December 31, 2012. For avoidance of doubt if the Value Creation Award payable to a Senior Executive is $170,000 and the Net Amount is $100,000, absent an election by the Senior Executive to receive a portion of such amount in cash, 100% of the Net Amount shall be paid in shares of Common Stock having a value of $100,000 based on the closing price on December 31, 2012. If the Senior Executive has elected to receive 50% of the Net Amount in cash, $50,000 shall be paid in cash and the remaining 50% shall be paid in shares of Common Stock having a value of $50,000 based on the closing price of December 31, 2012.

4.
General Provisions.
(a)    Compliance with Law. The obligation of the Company, if any, to deliver membership interests or Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Participation Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling any membership interests or shares of Common Stock to the Participants hereunder unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received advice of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such membership interests or Common Stock may be offered or sold to the Participants without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale or resale under the Securities Act any of the membership interests or Common Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan. If the membership interests or Common Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such membership interests or Common Stock and may legend the membership interests or Common Stock certificates representing such membership interests or Common Stock in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.
(b)    Share Ownership Guidelines. The Company shall not adopt any Share Ownership Guidelines that restrict a Senior Executive’s right or ability to, following an Initial Public Offering, sell more than one-third (1/3rd) of the net (after withholding) shares of Common


3



Stock, if any, acquired pursuant to this Plan.
(c)    Underwriter Lockup. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if required by any underwriters managing an Initial Public Offering, shares of Common Stock acquired by a Participant pursuant to the settlement of a Value Creation Award hereunder (or the conversion of any membership interests acquired by a Participant pursuant to the settlement of a Value Creation Award hereunder in connection with such Initial Public Offering) may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Initial Public Offering, or if later, the date upon which a similar lock-up imposed on other holders of Company securities expires, and in such case, each Participant shall, at the request of such underwriters, execute a separate agreement to the foregoing effect. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Common Stock subject to the foregoing restriction until the expiration of such restriction.
(d)    No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment.
(e)    Amendment and Termination of the Plan. Subject to subsection (a) of this Section 4, the Committee may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided that no such action may adversely affect in any material respect a Participant’s outstanding Value Creation Award without the consent of the Participant. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on December 31, 2012. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4(e) to the contrary, the termination of the Plan on December 31, 2012 shall not diminish a Participant’s right hereunder with respect to Value Creation Awards outstanding as of such date. No Value Creation Award may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.
(f)    Participant Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall give any Participant any claim to be granted any Value Creation Awards under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment among Participants. The receipt of a Value Creation Award in any given year does not entitle any Participant to a Value Creation Award for any subsequent year.
(g)    Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law.
(h)    Additional Section 409A Provisions.
(i)Any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to a Participant at any date as a result of a Termination shall be delayed for such period of


4



time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of any “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) hereunder upon a Termination shall be delayed until such time as the Participant has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of the Participant’s Termination hereunder) shall be paid to the Participant as if the Participant had undergone such Termination (under the same circumstances) on the date of his or her ultimate “separation from service.”
(iii)While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the Code).
(i)    Separate Accounts. The Company may maintain a separate bookkeeping account for each Participant to track the notional value of such Participant’s Value Creation Award.
(j)    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
(k)    Governing Law. The Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof.
