Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Deputy General Counsel to Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes (as defined below), and have acted as counsel in connection with the Company’s filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-185558) (the “Registration Statement”) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.00% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The Notes are to be sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated as of February 11, 2013 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and the several underwriters named therein.
