(ii) the sum of the present value of (i) the redemption price (100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed) on December 15, 2023 and (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the Notes to be redeemed through December 15, 2023 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,

(a) Delphi LLP will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any Principal Property or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, which Initial Lien secures any Indebtedness, without effectively providing that the 2024 Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured other than the following (“Permitted Liens”):
(1) Liens securing Indebtedness under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,075 million;
(2) pledges or deposits by such Person under workers’ compensation laws, unemployment insurance laws or similar legislation, or good faith deposits in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than for the payment of Indebtedness) or leases, subleases, licenses or sublicenses to which such Person is a party, or deposits to secure public or statutory obligations of such Person or deposits of cash or United States government bonds to secure surety, stay, customs, replevin or appeal bonds to which such Person is a party, or deposits as security for contested taxes or import duties or for the payment of rent, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business;

-11-
arising out of judgments or awards against such Person with respect to which such Person shall then be proceeding with an appeal or other proceedings for review;
(4) Liens for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges not yet due or payable or subject to penalties for non-payment or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

(7) Liens securing Indebtedness incurred to finance the construction, purchase or lease of, or repairs, improvements or additions to, property of such Person; provided, however, that the Lien may not extend to any other property (other than accessions thereto, proceeds and products thereof and property related to the property being financed or through cross-collateralization of individual financings of equipment provided by the same lender) owned by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries at the time the Lien is incurred, and the Indebtedness (other than any interest thereon) secured by the Lien may not be incurred more than 270 days after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction, repair, improvement, addition or commencement of full operation of the property subject to the Lien;
(8) Liens existing on the Issue Date and extensions, renewals, refinancings and replacements of any such Liens (including any future Liens securing Indebtedness that Delphi LLP designates as a “replacement” of such Liens for purposes of this clause, even if such new Indebtedness is not issued concurrently with the repayment of the indebtedness so secured, the proceeds thereof are not used to repay such Indebtedness secured by such Liens or such Indebtedness is incurred for different purposes and by a different borrower) so long as the principal amount of Indebtedness (including for this purpose, revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date immediately before the issuance of the 2024 Notes, which shall be deemed to be outstanding for these purposes even if undrawn) or other obligations secured thereby is not increased (other than to cover premiums, fees, accrued interest and any expenses of such extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement) and so long as such Liens are not extended to any other property of Delphi LLP or any of its Subsidiaries (other than pursuant to blanket lien or after acquired property clauses existing in the applicable agreements (including any obligation to have new guarantors provide Liens on the same assets owned by it));
(9) Liens on property or shares of stock of another Person at the time such other Person becomes a Subsidiary of such Person; provided, however, that such Liens are not created, incurred or assumed in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person becoming such a Subsidiary; provided further, however, that such Liens do not extend to any other property owned by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries, except proceeds and products thereof and improvements thereon or pursuant to after acquired property clauses existing in the applicable agreements at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary which do not extend to property transferred to such Person by Delphi LLP or a Restricted Subsidiary;
-12-
(10) Liens on property at the time such Person or any of its Subsidiaries acquires the property, including any acquisition by means of a merger or consolidation with or into such Person or any Subsidiary of such Person; provided, however, that such Liens are not created, incurred or assumed in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition; provided further, however, that the Liens do not extend to any other property owned by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries other than proceeds or products thereof and accessions thereto;

(A) such new Lien shall be limited to all or part of the same property that secured the original Lien (plus improvements, accessions, proceeds, dividends or distributions in respect thereof) and
(B) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien at such time is not increased to any amount greater than the sum of:
(i) the outstanding principal amount or, if greater, committed amount of the indebtedness secured by Liens described under clauses (7), (9) or (10) at the time the original Lien became a Permitted Lien under the Indenture; and

(15) other Liens to secure Indebtedness as long as the amount of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens incurred pursuant to this clause (15), when aggregated with the amount of Attributable Debt outstanding and incurred in reliance on Section 5.02(e), does not exceed 15.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time any such Lien is granted; provided, however, notwithstanding whether this clause (15) would otherwise be available to secure Indebtedness, Liens securing Indebtedness originally secured pursuant to this clause (15) may secure Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness and such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been secured pursuant to this clause (15).
(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the 2024 Notes pursuant to Section 5.01(a) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.
(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.01, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets
-13-
the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens,” Delphi LLP shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be treated as being incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses.
Section 5.02. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. Delphi LLP will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless:
(a) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is solely with Delphi LLP or a Subsidiary of Delphi LLP;
(b) the lease is for a period not in excess of 24 months, including renewals;
(c) Delphi LLP or such Restricted Subsidiary would (at the time of entering into such arrangement) be entitled as described in clauses (1) through (14) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” without equally and ratably securing the 2024 Notes then outstanding under the Indenture, to create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such property in the amount of the Attributable Debt arising from such Sale and Leaseback Transaction;
(d) Delphi LLP or such Restricted Subsidiary within 360 days after the sale of such Principal Property in connection with such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such Principal Property to (i) the permanent retirement of 2024 Notes, other Indebtedness of the Issuer ranking on a parity with the 2024 Notes or Indebtedness of Delphi LLP or a Subsidiary of Delphi LLP or (ii) the purchase of property; or
(e) the Attributable Debt of Delphi LLP and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and all other Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the Issue Date with respect to Principal Property (other than any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction as would be permitted as described in clauses (a) through (d) above), plus the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by Liens on Principal Properties then outstanding (not including any such Indebtedness secured by Liens described in clauses (1) through (14) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”) which do not equally and ratably secure such outstanding 2024 Notes (or secure such outstanding 2024 Notes on a basis that is prior to other Indebtedness secured thereby), would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets.
Section 5.03. [Reserved].
Section 5.04. Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s 2024 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) any transaction occurs (including a merger or consolidation of the Company) following which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
-14-
Act) is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company;
(2) sale, lease or transfer, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to a Person in which any person (as defined above) holds or acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of such transferee Person; or
(3) the Issuer ceases to be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company.
“Change of Control Triggering Event” means (1) the ratings of the 2024 Notes are downgraded by each of the Ratings Agencies during the 60-day period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) the first public announcement of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended so long as the ratings of the 2024 Notes are under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Ratings Agencies) and (2) the 2024 Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Ratings Agencies on any date during the Trigger Period; provided that (x) a Change of Control Triggering Event will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control if each Ratings Agency does not publicly announce or confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at our request that the reduction was the result of the Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Change of Control Triggering Event) and (y) the Trigger Period will terminate with respect to each Ratings Agency when such Ratings Agency takes action (including affirming its existing ratings) with respect to such Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) Delphi LLP becomes a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a holding company and (2) no person (as defined above) (other than a holding company) owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting power of the Equity Interests of such holding company.
Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer shall (unless prior to such date such Change of Control Triggering Event ceases to exist) mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”), stating:
(1) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s 2024 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);
(2) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;
(3) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and
-15-
(4) the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this covenant, that a Holder must follow in order to have its 2024 Notes purchased.
The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.04 and purchases all 2024 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if the 2024 Notes have been or are called for redemption by the Issuer prior to it being required to mail notice of the Change of Control Offer, and thereafter redeems all 2024 Notes called for redemption in accordance with the terms set forth in such redemption notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a revocable Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditioned upon the consummation of the relevant Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for such Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.
The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of 2024 Notes pursuant to this Section 5.04. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 5.04, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 5.04 by virtue thereof.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the Base Indenture to the contrary, but subject to Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer’s obligations to make a Change of Control Offer as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes.

-16-
(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(3) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture.
The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Indenture, and the predecessor Issuer other than in the case of a lease, will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the 2024 Notes.
(d) Delphi LLP will not and will not permit any other 2024 Note Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions to, any Person unless:
(A) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) will be a corporation, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, limited company, or other similar organization (and in the case of any such transaction involving Delphi LLP, such Successor Guarantor shall be organized under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the United States of America (or any state thereof or the District of Columbia), the United Kingdom, Jersey and any other jurisdiction in the Channel Islands, any member state of the European Union as in effect on the Issue Date, Switzerland, Bermuda or The Cayman Islands), and such Person (if not such Guarantor) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of such 2024 Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee;
(B) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(C) the Issuer will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture.
(c) Notwithstanding clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section 6.01:
(A) any Subsidiary of Delphi LLP (other than the Issuer) may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer, any 2024 Note Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Delphi LLP; and
(B) the Issuer and any 2024 Note Guarantor may merge with an Affiliate organized solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Issuer or such 2024 Note Guarantor in another jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 7
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default. Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the 2024 Notes:
(1) a default in any payment of interest on the 2024 Notes when due and payable continued for 30 days;
(2) a default in the payment of principal of any 2024 Note when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption or required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;
(3) the failure by the Issuer or any 2024 Note Guarantor to comply with its obligations under Section 6.01 of this Second Supplemental Indenture;
(4) the failure by Delphi LLP or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after notice with any of its obligations under Section 5.04 of this Second Supplemental Indenture (in each case, other than a failure to purchase 2024 Notes);
(5) the failure by Delphi LLP or any Subsidiary to comply for 90 days after notice as specified in the Indenture with its other agreements contained in the Indenture;
(6) the failure by Delphi LLP or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay the principal amount of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to Delphi LLP or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $300.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent;
(7) Delphi LLP or the Issuer:
(i) commences a voluntary case,
(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,
(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or
(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
(8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(i) is for relief against Delphi LLP or the Issuer in an involuntary case;
(ii) appoints a custodian of Delphi LLP or the Issuer, or for all or substantially all of the property of Delphi LLP or the Issuer; or
(iii) orders the liquidation of Delphi LLP or the Issuer,
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; and
-18-
(9) any Note Guarantee of the 2024 Notes of Delphi LLP or any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) ceases to be in full force and effect in all material respects (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any 2024 Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms such 2024 Note Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture or any Note Guarantee of the 2024 Notes and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice as specified in the Indenture.
The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
However, a default under clauses (4), (5), (6) or (9) will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to any 2024 Notes until the Trustee notifies Delphi LLP, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2024 Notes notify Delphi LLP and the Trustee, of the default and Delphi LLP or the 2024 Note Guarantor, as applicable, does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (4), (5), (6) or (9) hereof after receipt of such notice.
Section 7.02. Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (7) or (8) of Section 7.01 hereof with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing with respect to the 2024 Notes, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes affected thereby may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all outstanding 2024 Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to Delphi LLP and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 7.01 hereof with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding 2024 Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
At any time after a declaration of acceleration as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2024 Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration with respect to the 2024 Notes and its consequences (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; (ii) if all existing Events of Default with respect to such series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; (iv) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee and the Agents their compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (7) or (8) of Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the 2024 Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the 2024 Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) shall be remedied or cured by Delphi LLP or a Restricted Subsidiary of Delphi LLP or waived (and the related declaration of acceleration rescinded or annulled) by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with
-19-
respect to the 2024 Notes and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the 2024 Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the 2024 Notes.
Section 7.03. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2024 Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the 2024 Notes and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the 2024 Notes (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding 2024 Notes may rescind an acceleration with respect to the 2024 Notes and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default in respect of the 2024 Notes shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default in respect of the 2024 Notes arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 7.04. Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the 2024 Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a 2024 Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 7.05. Limitation on Suits.
Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a 2024 Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such series unless:
(a) the Holder of a 2024 Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder of a 2024 Note or Holders of 2024 Notes offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(e) within such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder of a 2024 Note may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a 2024 Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a 2024 Note.

[Form of reverse side of 2024 Note]
4.15% Senior Note due 2024
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST. Delphi Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this 2024 Note at a rate per annum of 4.15% from March 3, 2014 until maturity or pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer will pay interest on this 2024 Note semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2014, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Issuer will make each interest payment to the Holder of record of this 2024 Note on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1 (each, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on this 2024 Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including March 3, 2014. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this 2024 Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this 2024 Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on this 2024 Note to the Person who is the registered Holder of this 2024 Note at the close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this 2024 Note is cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Note Register of Holders, provided that (a) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, 2024 Notes represented by Global Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof and (b) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to Certificated Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee or the Paying Agent may accept in its discretion). Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
3. AUTHENTICATING AGENT, PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. Delphi LLP or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the 2024 Notes under the Senior Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of February 14, 2013, among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional 2024 Notes pursuant to the Base Indenture. The terms of the 2024 Notes include those stated in the Base Indenture and those made part of the Base Indenture by reference to the second supplemental indenture, among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent, dated as of March 3, 2014 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and
A-5
together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), setting forth the additional terms of the 2024 Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Base Indenture and the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The 2024 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this 2024 Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture and those other provisions forming a part thereof with respect to the 2024 Notes, the provisions of the Indenture and such other provisions with respect to the 2024 Notes shall govern and be controlling.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. At any time prior to December 15, 2023, the Issuer may at its option redeem the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed; and
(ii) the sum of the present value of (i) the redemption price (100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed) on December 15, 2023 and (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the 2024 Notes to be redeemed through December 15, 2023 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,
plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the Calculation Date.
If the 2024 Notes are redeemed at any time on or after December 15, 2023, the 2024 Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
Notice of such redemption must be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.
6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Except as set forth in Section 5.04 of the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2024 Notes.
7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose 2024 Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
8. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer shall make a Change of Control Offer in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.
9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The 2024 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of 2024 Notes may be registered and 2024 Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) any 2024 Note selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3 of the Base Indenture, except the unredeemed portion of any such 2024 Note being redeemed in
A-6
part, or (b) any such 2024 Note for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem such 2024 Notes or 15 days before an Interest Payment Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date or other date determined for the payment of interest), and ending on such mailing date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be.
10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of this 2024 Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Note Guarantees to the 2024 Notes or the 2024 Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.
12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the 2024 Notes are defined in Section 7.01 of the Second Supplemental Indenture. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the 2024 Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to Delphi LLP and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding 2024 Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the 2024 Notes or the Note Guarantees to the 2024 Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2024 Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture with respect to the 2024 Notes except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the 2024 Notes held by a non-consenting Holder. The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within 30 Business Days after becoming aware of any Default with respect to the 2024 Notes, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.
13. AUTHENTICATION. This 2024 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or Authenticating Agent.
14. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE 2024 NOTES OF THIS SERIES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES TO THE 2024 NOTES.
15. CUSIP AND ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the 2024 Notes of this series and the Trustee or Registrar may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2024 Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
