Mr. Kevin P. Clark

Boxford, MA 01921

Dear Kevin:

It is our pleasure to extend you this offer of salaried employment with Delphi as Chief Financial Officer. We anticipate you will start your employment at Delphi on July 12, 2010. The following provides a summary of your offer as discussed with Mr. Jack Krol, Chairman, Delphi Board of Managers.

Base Salary: In view of your current compensation level and competitive considerations, we are pleased to offer you an initial base salary at an annual rate of $800,000. Your base salary will be reviewed from time to time in accordance with normal Delphi practice applicable to its senior corporate executives.

Target Annual Incentive: Your target annual incentive compensation will be $800,000. What you actually receive will, of course, be subject to the performance of Delphi relative to the performance targets established by Delphi’s Board of Managers, as well as your individual performance. Your annual incentive compensation for 2010 will be prorated based on your actual start date.

Long Term Incentive (Value Creation Award): You will receive a target award of $8,250,000 under the Delphi Value Creation Plan (“VCP”). This award amount is a three-year award of $5,100,000 (based on $1,700,000 annual value) which has been determined on the same competitive factors used in determining the three-year awards being made at this time to our other senior corporate officers, plus $3,150,000 intended to make-up a portion of the incentive compensation you will forfeit upon leaving your current employer. As with any long term incentive program, the value of your VCP award will depend on the success of Delphi as a company and the value of Delphi, as well as other potential factors such as the occurrence of an IPO or other liquidity event for shareholders. Your VCP award will be on the same terms and conditions as the VCP awards made to other senior corporate executives, including requirements for continued employment and your execution of a noninterference and confidentiality agreement.

Signing Bonus/Retention Incentive: As an inducement to join and remain with Delphi and in recognition of amounts you will forego by joining Delphi, you will receive a signing bonus of $2,500,000, which will be paid in cash within 30 days of your start date. If your employment with Delphi ends prior to December 31, 2012 for any reason other than death, disability or circumstances for which you are not eligible to receive severance (as described below), you agree to repay to Delphi a prorated portion of your signing bonus based on the number of months from your date of termination through December 31, 2012 divided by 30 (the number of months from your anticipated start date through December 31, 2012).

Protective Provisions: You will report to the current CEO of Delphi. If however circumstances cause a change in this reporting relationship within 12 months of your start date and you determine it is in your best interests to voluntarily terminate your employment, you will be entitled to severance equal to 12 months base salary and one times your target annual incentive compensation. In the event of your involuntary termination by Delphi without cause, you will be eligible for severance under the executive severance policy then in effect.* Should the terms and conditions of your employment change such that you need to relocate to the company’s headquarters location following either a change in control of Delphi or any change in your reporting relationship following the 12 month anniversary of your start date and you choose to resign rather than relocate, such resignation will be treated as an involuntary termination for purposes of the VCP. Any and all fees and expenses you incur enforcing these protective provisions will be paid by Delphi.

Relocation: Your office will be located at Delphi’s headquarters in Troy, Michigan. As we discussed, you will be eligible to receive benefits in accordance with our standard relocation program upon advising us of a plan to relocate to the area. In the interim, you will be responsible for all travel and living costs associated with being away from your current residence to perform your duties at headquarters. You will, of course, be entitled to reimbursement for business travel and other business expenses in accordance with Delphi’s policies.

In addition to the compensation elements described above, you are also eligible for our competitive benefit package. A brief summary of current Delphi benefits and eligibility requirements is enclosed for your review. Currently, our benefit package includes a Salaried Retirement Savings Plan (401(k)), health, life and disability insurance plans, as well as vacation and holiday allowances. Please be advised that Delphi reserves the right to amend, modify and/or terminate any
