`
`Please note this information relates to Wire Harness documents / data in North America
`
`only.
`
`1. Delphi to advise whether they have received approval from Finance to allow a 3”’ party vendor to
`review and download 2006 — 2014 SAP data.
`
`Gangnes Comment (01/24/16): meaning transactional data for all purchases and sales of Wire
`Harness Products (as defined in plaintiffs’ complaints) for whatever period such data exists up
`to December 31, 2014.
`
`We never agreed to Wire Harness Products - just Wire Harnesses. We
`confirmed that pre-2006 data (which was stored by GM) no longer
`exists.
`
`2. Delphi to determine the timing and cost to review and produce the 2006 - 2014 SAP data in-house.
`
`Gangnes Comment (01/24/16): same as above.
`
`We never agreed to Wire Harness Products - just’Wire Harnesses. We
`confirmed that pre-2006 data (which was stored by GM) no longer
`exists.
`
`3. Delphi to determine the timing and cost to search for, review and produce KE30 sales summaries and,
`if they exist, similar purchase summaries, for 2006 — 2014.
`
`Gangnes Comment(01/24/16): meaning monthly KE30 summaries of all sales of Wire Harness
`Products for whatever period such summaries exist or can be generated up to December 31,
`2014, and similar summaries of monthly purchases of Wire Harness Products, if they exist or
`can be generated.

`Pg ID 22367
`
`We never agreed to Wire Harness Products — just Wire Harnesses. We
`confirmed that pre-2006 data (which was stored by GM) no longer
`exists.
`
`4. Delphi to determine the timing and cost to search for, review, and produce DPRG packages from 2010
`— 2014.
`
`Gangnes Comment(01/24/16): meaning DPRG packages pertaining to (a) all RFQ responses
`or bids for the sale of Wire Harness Products or (b) other sales of Wire Harness Products,
`including sales made on a sole sourcing basis.
`In our January 19 call, you said that Delphi
`would conduct this search at no cost to the parties. We understand from your Oct. 28, 2015
`email to Omar Ochoa that Delphi has already conducted a search for such DPRG packages for
`the period prior to 2011 and located 28, 000 documents.
`
`We never agreed to Wire Harness Products — just Wire Harnesses. We
`agreed to provide responsive DRPG documents that were previously
`collected for the DOJ investigation (up through mid-2010), and advised
`there are approximately 28,000 documents. However, those documents
`still need to be reviewed by contract attorneys at an hourly rate of
`approximately $32.00 an hour. Using a fairly typical
`calculation: 28,000 documents divided by 37.5 documents an hour =
`746.66 hours X $32.00 = approximately $24,000. Delphi internal
`employees would search for mid—2010 — 2014 documents at no cost, but
`those documents would then have to be reviewed by contract attorneys
`
`at the rate noted above.
`
`5. Delphi to determine the period of time for which it has relevant invoices, as well as the timing and cost
`to search for, review, and produce such documents.
`I mentioned we have a sample invoice that we will
`provide to you if an overall agreement is reached.
`
`Gangnes Comment(01/24/16): meaning invoices for all sales of Wire Harness Products for
`whatever period they exist up to December 31, 2014.
`
`We never agreed to Wire Harness Products - just Wire Harnesses. We
`confirmed that pre-2006 data (which was stored by GM) no longer
`exists. .
`
`6. Delphi to respond regarding purchases or sales of Wire Harness[es] Products to the nine (9)
`companies identified in Larry Gangnes’ 12/14/15 email.
`
`Gangnes Comment(01/24/16): meaning Wire Harness Products.
`

`exists. .

`London (counsel for Direct Purchasers) and Evelyn Li (counsel for Auto Dealers); and Barb Frantangelo and
`me on behalf of Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC (Delphi). This was one of several calls we have had over the
`last several months pertaining to documents you have requested from Delphi in the pending Wire Harness
`antitrust case before Judge Battani (Case No. 12-md-02311). As you know, Delphi is not a party, and failing
`an agreement you will need to issue a third party subpoena if you want discovery from Delphi.

`In fact, it is a victim! We have a business to run and your voluminous document requests would detract

`In other words, Delphi does not agree to provide the

`
`1. Delphi agrees to allow Ben Zenick of Zencos Consulting with access to De|phi’s SAP transactional data
`as it relates to wire harnesses from 2006 - 2014. You will pay all costs and fees associated with
`Zencos Consulting.
`
`2. De|phi’s definition of “Wire Harness” is as follows: automotive wire harnesses, speed sensor wire
`assemblies, automotive electrical wiring, lead wire assemblies and high voltage wiring.
`
`3. A Delphi representative will be made available to Mr. Zenick for guidance and questions, at a rate of
`$75 per hour, which you agree to pay.

`Subject: Wire Harness Defendants‘ Discovery Requests to Delphi
`
`Joe,
`
`Thanks for speaking with me and Stephanie Fine this morning. Our proposal for moving forward with the Wire
`Harness Defendants’ discovery requests to Delphi is summarized below, as you requested.
`
`As discussed, we would like to proceed in two stages. First, we would like to get an estimate of the costs to
`retain a third-party vendor to extract Delphi's transactional data regarding its purchases of Wire Harness
`Products (”WHPs”) (as defined in plaintiffs’ consolidated complaints) from its suppliers and sales of such
`Products to all OEM and other customers for whatever time periods Delphi maintains such data, as described

`Pg ID 22374
`
`in yourJu|y 30, September 28, and December 4 emails (attached). This production would include the monthly
`KE30 summary sales reports, a sample of which was attached to your July 30 email. Please let us know the
`time periods for which Delphi has the KE30 sales reports, including prior to 2006. You also agreed to see
`whether Delphi has a monthly summary of its purchases of WHPs. Finally, please explain the note in the
`spreadsheet attached to your December 4 email to the effect that: ”SAP data for DEEDS did not start until
`2008 and was not completed until Nov 2009 — will have partial data until that time.”
`
`As I mentioned, we have located a vendor familiar with SAP databases that is available to extract Delphi's
`transactional data — Zencos Consulting (www.zencos.com) in Cary, North Carolina. We have spoken with Ben
`Zenick, Zencos’ co-founder and COO (bzenick@zencos.com; 919-459-4600 x 103; mobile: 919-524-4524),
`about obtaining a cost estimate for this project. To that end, Mr. Zenick will be contacting you for information
`about the scope of work. Once we have a cost estimate from Zencos, Defendants will be in a position then to
`decide whether and how best to proceed with production of the data.
`
`In this
`The second discovery stage concerns the production of Delphi's electronic and other documents.
`regard, we request that Delphi produce the categories of documents described in your July 30 email
`(attached).
`In addition, we understand from our May 23, 2014 telephone conference with you and some of
`your Delphi colleagues that Delphi can print invoices from a database or produce the database. You agreed to
`find out for us the time periods for which Delphi has invoices for its sales of WHPs. Finally, we would request
`that Delphi produce any documents it has concerning purchases of WHPs from, or sales of WHPs to, the
`following Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs (or successors):
`
`1. Mexican Industries in Michigan, Inc., a now bankrupt Michigan corporation with its principal place of business
`
`in Detroit, Michigan;
`
`2. Paesano Connecting Systems, |nc., a Pennsylvania corporation with its principal place of business in Ridgway,
`
`Pennsylvania;
`
`3. Craft-Co Enterprises, |nc., a Mississippi corporation with its principal place of business in Brandon, Mississippi;
`
`4. Findlay Industries, Inc., an Ohio corporation with its principal place of business in Findlay, Ohio;
`
`5. Cesar-Scott, lnc., a Texas corporation with its principal place of business in El Paso, Texas;
`
`6. Martinez Manufacturing, Inc. (”Martinez”), an Illinois corporation with its principal place of business in Cary,
`
`Illinois;

`
`7. Thermtrol Corporation, the successor to Martinez, an Ohio corporation with its principal place of business in
`North Canton, Ohio;
`
`8. South Star Corporation, a Virginia corporation with its principal place of business in Elliston, Virginia; and
`
`9. ACAP, L.L.C., f/k/a Aguirre, Collins & Aikman Plastics, LLC, a defunct Michigan limited liability company
`
`formerly with its principal place of business in Michigan.
`
`We understand that Delphi proposes to hire contract document reviewers to review Delphi's production to
`remove any privileged documents. We also understand from your September 28 email that Delphi has already
`conducted a search for its DPRG packages for the period prior to 2011 and located about 28,000 responsive
`documents for such a review.
`
`Again, we would like to see if we and Delphi can come up with a more definitive estimate of the costs of
`reviewing and producing such documents before Defendants decide to proceed and commit to paying such
`costs. We are hopeful that the costs will not approach the $100,000 you estimated earlier.
`
`To that end, we believe that the costs Delphi incurs in reviewing the 2,700 documents (7,500 pages) it has
`located regarding Ford's CD4 RFQ will be informative. One ofthe Defendants has already asked Delphi to
`proceed with that production. Once we know the costs of reviewing and producing the CD4 documents,
`Defendants and Delphi will be in a better position to estimate the costs of reviewing and producing the other
`documents described above, and Defendants will be able to decide whether and how best to proceed with
`
`production of those documents.
`
`Finally, we should mention a few more caveats. First, our experience with WHP databases has been that there
`are always follow—up questions about the data and data fields produced. We would like to be able to pose
`such questions to Delphi informally and get answers. Second, Defendants would like to obtain a declaration
`from the appropriate person(s) at Delphi confirming that the data and documents produced are business
`records within the meaning of FRE 803(6). Third, you agreed in your September 28 email to provide us with a
`list identifying the custodians ofthe documents produced to the DoJ (which documents have been produced
`to both Plaintiffs and Defendants). Please provide us with this list identifying the custodians and the Bates
`number ranges ofthe documents produced from their files. Fourth, based on review ofthe DPRG packages
`produced, Defendants would like to reserve their rights to make further narrow, targeted requests for
`additional documents, if necessary, such as documents relating to a specific RFQ.
`
`We will also be sending this email to Plaintiffs’ counsel in an effort to see whether they wish to participate and
`whether they have any additional requests.
`

`Wire Harness Defendants‘ Discovery Requests to Delphi
`Antitrust Wire Harness — Discovery Requests; Wire Harness Auto Parts — Response to
`
`Discovery Requests; 6597661_4.docx
`
`When you and I began discussing the discovery Defendants (and later Plaintiffs) were seeking from Delphi in
`April 2014, it was our mutual goal to reach an agreement on the discovery Delphi would provide without
`resort to a subpoena. That is still Defendants’ goal. However, your emails below last week withdrew all of the
`discovery Delphi had offered to provide earlier (and as recently as January 22, 2016) (see attached emails)
`without explanation, except for transactional data relating to wire harnesses. Unfortunately, that limitation
`does not provide Defendants with the discovery they need.
`
`Accordingly, we have drafted the enclosed subpoena to Delphi that encompasses all of the documents and
`data Delphi previously offered to provide. Nevertheless, we would prefer to see if we can reach agreement
`with Delphi on the documents and data it will produce informally without a subpoena. To that end, we are
`available to discuss the Requests in the draft subpoena with you promptly this week and as usual, ways in
`which the Requests can be refined to reduce the burden and expense to Delphi and Defendants.
`
`For example, Request Nos. 1 and 4 seek transactional data and ”DPRG packages" for the sale of Wire Harness
`Products as defined in Plaintiffs’ operative Amended Complaints. We are uncertain why it would be more
`burdensome for Delphi to produce this discovery for sales of all Wire Harness Products as opposed to sales of
`just wire harnesses, as defined by Delphi, but we are prepared to listen and if possible, attempt to
`
`accommodate Delphi's concerns.
`
`Please let us know if Delphi is interested in trying to reach an agreement on providing this discovery without
`
`the necessity of a subpoena.
`
`Regards.

`case.
`In fact, it is a victim! We have a business to run and your voluminous document requests would detract
`significantly from time spent running the business. The following is our final proposal in an effort to reach a
`compromise and supersedes all previous discussions.
`In other words, Delphi does not agree to provide the
`remainder of information outlined in the various telephone calls and emails regarding this subject.
`
`1. Delphi agrees to allow Ben Zenick of Zencos Consulting with access to Delphi's SAP transactional data
`as it relates to wire harnesses from 2006 - 2014. You will pay all costs and fees associated with
`Zencos Consulting.
`
`2. Delphi's definition of “Wire Harness” is as follows: automotive wire harnesses, speed sensor wire
`assemblies, automotive electrical wiring, lead wire assemblies and high voltage wiring.
`
`3. A Delphi representative will be made available to Mr. Zenick for guidance and questions, at a rate of
`$75 per hour, which you agree to pay.
`
`4. Mr. Zenick’s review of the data will be scheduled at the convenience of Delphi and its representative.
`
`If you agree with this proposal we will draft a Confidentiality Agreement and forward it to you for your review.

`Subject: Wire Harness Defendants‘ Discovery Requests to Delphi
`
`Joe,
`
`Thanks for speaking with me and Stephanie Fine this morning. Our proposal for moving forward with the Wire
`Harness Defendants’ discovery requests to Delphi is summarized below, as you requested.
`
`As discussed, we would like to proceed in two stages. First, we would like to get an estimate ofthe costs to
`retain a third—party vendor to extract Delphi's transactional data regarding its purchases of Wire Harness
`Products (”WHPs”) (as defined in plaintiffs’ consolidated complaints) from its suppliers and sales of such
`Products to all OEM and other customers for whatever time periods Delphi maintains such data, as described
`in your July 30, September 28, and December 4 emails (attached). This production would include the monthly
`KE3O summary sales reports, a sample of which was attached to your July 30 email. Please let us know the
`time periods for which Delphi has the KE3O sales reports, including prior to 2006. You also agreed to see
`whether Delphi has a monthly summary of its purchases of WHPs. Finally, please explain the note in the
`spreadsheet attached to your December 4 email to the effect that: ”SAP data for DEEDS did not start until
`2008 and was not completed until Nov 2009 —— will have partial data until that time.”
`
`As I mentioned, we have located a vendor familiar with SAP databases that is available to extract Delphi's
`transactional data —Zencos Consulting (www.zencos.com) in Cary, North Carolina. We have spoken with Ben

`Zenick, Zencos’ co-founder and COO (bzenick@zencos.com; 919-459-4600 x 103; mobile: 919-524-4524),
`about obtaining a cost estimate for this project. To that end, Mr. Zenick will be contacting you for information
`about the scope of work. Once we have a cost estimate from Zencos, Defendants will be in a position then to
`decide whether and how best to proceed with production of the data.

`In this
`The second discovery stage concerns the production of Delphi's electronic and other documents.
`regard, we request that Delphi produce the categories of documents described in your July 30 email
`(attached).
`In addition, we understand from our May 23, 2014 telephone conference with you and some of
`your Delphi colleagues that Delphi can print invoices from a database or produce the database. You agreed to
`find out for us the time periods for which Delphi has invoices for its sales of WHPs. Finally, we would request
`that Delphi produce any documents it has concerning purchases of WHPs from, or sales of WHPs to, the
