Concurrently with the issuance of the Preferred Securities by the Trust, Delphi made a cash contribution to the Trust, the proceeds of which, together with the proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Securities, were used by the Trust to purchase as trust assets the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Preferred Securities were issued pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Trust dated as of November 21, 2003, among Delphi, as sponsor, the Administrative Trustees named therein, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. (successor in interest to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as property trustee, and Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A. (successor in interest to Bank One Delaware, Inc.), as Delaware trustee. The Junior Subordinated Notes were issued under an Indenture dated as of October 28, 2003, between Delphi and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (successor in interest to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as indenture trustee. The Preferred Securities are guaranteed by Delphi to the extent described in the Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus (forming a part of the Registration Statements on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-101478 and Registration Statement No. 333-108477, which also constitutes a post-effective amendment to Registration Statement No. 333-101478)), pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement dated as of November 21, 2003 (the “Guarantee”), between Delphi and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. (successor in interest to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as guarantee trustee. The Preferred Securities were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated as of November 14, 2003 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among Delphi, the Trust and the Underwriters named therein.

     The following documents are filed as exhibits hereto: (1) the Underwriting Agreement, (2) the Subordinated Indenture, (3) the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Trust of Delphi Trust II, reflecting the succession in interest by Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association to Bank One Delaware, Inc. and (4) the Junior Subordinated Note.
