-17-


Section 5.01. Limitation on Liens.

(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 of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, which Initial Lien secures any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the 2023 Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the 2023 Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence 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 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 property unless:

(a) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is solely with the Issuer or a 2023 Note Guarantor (other than the Company);

(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 (21) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” without equally and ratably securing the 2023 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 property in connection with such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such property to (i) the permanent retirement of 2023 Notes, other Indebtedness of the Issuer ranking on a parity with the 2023 Notes or Indebtedness of Delphi LLP or a Restricted Subsidiary 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 (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 properties then outstanding (not including any such Indebtedness secured by Liens described in clauses

 

-18-


(1) through (21) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”) which do not equally and ratably secure such outstanding 2023 Notes (or secure such outstanding 2023 Notes on a basis that is prior to other Indebtedness secured thereby), would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets.

Section 5.03. Reports. Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any 2023 Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will provide the Trustee and Holders and prospective Holders within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers, copies of:

(a) annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, of Delphi LLP containing the information required to be contained therein, or required in such successor or comparable form;

(b) quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Delphi LLP, containing the information required to be contained therein, or any successor or comparable form; and

(c) from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form, of Delphi LLP.

Notwithstanding whether Delphi LLP is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, Delphi LLP will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. Delphi LLP will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Delphi LLP files the information and reports referred to in the preceding paragraph with the SEC and such information is publicly available on the Internet, Delphi LLP shall be deemed to be in compliance with its obligations to furnish such information to the Holders of the 2023 Notes. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept Delphi LLP’s filings for any reason, Delphi LLP will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraph on its website within the time periods that would apply if Delphi LLP were required to file those reports with the SEC.

In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of Delphi LLP (of which Delphi LLP is a wholly owned Subsidiary) is or becomes a 2023 Note Guarantor, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.03 by furnishing information (or filing it with the SEC) relating to such direct or indirect parent company.

The Issuer will be deemed to satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.03 upon the Company (or any other direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer that is or becomes a 2023 Note Guarantor, in lieu of the Company) furnishing or filing the foregoing information with the SEC.

Section 5.04. Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Change of Control”), each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s 2023 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):

(1) any transaction occurs (including a merger or consolidation of Delphi LLP) following which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange 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 Delphi LLP; or

 

-19-


(2) the Issuer ceases to be a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Delphi LLP.

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, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”), stating:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s 2023 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;

(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

(4) the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this covenant, that a Holder must follow in order to have its 2023 Notes purchased.

The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control 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 2023 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 if the 2023 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 2023 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, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the 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 2023 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 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2023 Notes.

Section 5.05. Future Guarantors.

The Issuer will cause each new Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a guarantor of any Material Indebtedness of the Issuer or any 2023 Note Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will provide a Note Guarantee to the 2023 Notes. In addition, the Issuer will cause each Foreign Subsidiary of Delphi LLP that becomes a guarantor of any Material Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will provide a Note Guarantee to the 2023 Notes. Additionally, Delphi LLP, at its option, may cause any direct or indirect parent company of Delphi LLP to become a 2023 Note Guarantor.

Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that:

(1) the 2023 Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies; and

(2) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture;

Delphi LLP and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to this Section 5.05 (the “Suspended Covenant”) and all Note Guarantees to the 2023 Notes by Subsidiaries of the Issuer shall be released.

In the event that Delphi LLP and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenant for any period of time as a result of the foregoing and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the 2023 Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then Delphi LLP and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenant with respect to future events and all Subsidiaries of the Issuer whose Note Guarantees to the 2023 Notes had been released on the Suspension Date shall be reinstated. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenant may be reinstated, no Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenant during the Suspension Period.

Upon the occurrence of a Suspension Date or a Reversion Date, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee, and file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Suspension Date or Reversion Date has occurred in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

Section 6.01. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. (a) The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets in one or a series of related transactions to, any Person, unless:

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership organized and existing under the laws of (x) the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) 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, provided that if the Successor Company is organized outside of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, the Issuer shall enter into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture that includes a provision for the payment of additional

 

-21-


amounts to Holders (subject to customary exceptions) in the event that the organization of the Successor Company in such jurisdiction will result in tax withholding or deduction, or otherwise result in taxes, fees, duties, assessments or governmental charges, for payments to Holders under the terms of the 2023 Notes in such jurisdiction (which such provision shall be certified by Delphi LLP to the Trustee as customary); and provided further, the Successor Company (if not the Issuer) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the 2023 Notes (and, if the Successor Company is not a corporation, Delphi LLP shall cause a corporate co-issuer to become a co-obligor on the 2023 Notes);

(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 2023 Notes.

(b) Delphi LLP will not and will not permit any other 2023 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) except in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (i) that has been disposed of in its entirety to another Person (other than to Delphi LLP or a Restricted Subsidiary of Delphi LLP), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or that has transferred or leased all or substantially of its assets to another Person or (ii) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary, 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 2023 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)(2) of the first paragraph above or clause (b)(B) of this Section 6.01:

 

-22-


(A) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or any 2023 Note Guarantor;

(B) any Restricted 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 or any 2023 Note Guarantor; and

(C) the Issuer and any 2023 Note Guarantor may merge with an Affiliate organized solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Issuer or such 2023 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 2023 Notes:

(1) a default in any payment of interest on the 2023 Notes when due and payable continued for 30 days;

(2) a default in the payment of principal of any 2023 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 2023 Note Guarantor to comply with its obligations under Section 6.01 of this 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 Article 5 of this Supplemental Indenture (other than Section 5.03) (in each case, other than a failure to purchase 2023 Notes);

(5) the failure by Delphi LLP or any Restricted 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 any Significant Subsidiary:

(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;

 

-23-


(8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against Delphi LLP or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a custodian of Delphi LLP or any Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of Delphi LLP or any Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of Delphi LLP or any Significant Subsidiary,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; and

(9) any Note Guarantee of the 2023 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 2023 Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms such 2023 Note Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture or any Note Guarantee of the 2023 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 2023 Notes until the Trustee notifies Delphi LLP or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Notes notify Delphi LLP and the Trustee of the default and Delphi LLP or the Subsidiary 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 Delphi LLP or the Issuer) occurs and is continuing with respect to the 2023 Notes, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 2023 Notes affected thereby may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all outstanding 2023 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 Delphi LLP or the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding 2023 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 2023 Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration with respect to the 2023 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

 

-24-


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 2023 Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the 2023 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 respect to the 2023 Notes and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the 2023 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 2023 Notes.

Section 7.03. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2023 Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2023 Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the 2023 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 2023 Notes (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding 2023 Notes may rescind an acceleration with respect to the 2023 Notes and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default in respect of the 2023 Notes shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default in respect of the 2023 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 2023 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 2023 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 2023 Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 7.05. Limitation on Suits.

A Holder of a 2023 Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such series only if:

(a) the Holder of a 2023 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 2023 Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

-25-


(c) such Holder of a 2023 Note or Holders of 2023 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 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 2023 Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder of a 2023 Note may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a 2023 Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a 2023 Note.

ARTICLE 8

(b) Except as provided in Section 9.02 of the Base Indenture and in Section 8.02(a) of this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees of the 2023 Notes and the 2023 Notes may be amended or supplemented as it relates to the 2023 Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2023 Notes and, subject to Section 7.03 of this Supplemental Indenture and Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2023 Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees of the 2023 Notes or the 2023 Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2023 Notes.

[Form of reverse side of 2023 Note]

5.00% Senior Note due 2023

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 2023 Note at a rate per annum of 5.00% from February 14, 2013 until maturity or pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer will pay interest on this 2023 Note semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2013, 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 2023 Note on the immediately preceding February 1 and August 1 (each, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on this 2023 Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including February 14, 2013. 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 2023 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 2023 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 2023 Note to the Person who is the registered Holder of this 2023 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 2023 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, 2023 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 2023 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 2023 Notes pursuant to the Base Indenture. The terms of the 2023 Notes include those stated in the Base Indenture and those made part of the Base Indenture by reference to the supplemental indenture, among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto, the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent, dated as of February 14, 2013 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base

 

A-5


Indenture, the “Indenture”), setting forth the additional terms of the 2023 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 2023 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 2023 Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture and those other provisions forming a part thereof with respect to the 2023 Notes, the provisions of the Indenture and such other provisions with respect to the 2023 Notes shall govern and be controlling.

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. Except as set forth under this section, the Issuer may not redeem the 2023 Notes prior to February 15, 2018. On or after this date, the Issuer may redeem the 2023 Notes, in whole or in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on February 15 of the years set forth below:

 

Year

   Redemption price  

2018

     102.500

2019

     101.667

2020

     100.833

2021 and thereafter

     100.000

(b) Prior to February 15, 2016, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, also redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2023 Notes) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that:

(1) at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (calculated giving effect to any issuance of Additional 2023 Notes) remains outstanding after giving effect to any such redemption; and

(2) any such redemption by the Issuer must be made within 120 days after the closing of such Equity Offering and must be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

(c) Additionally, prior to February 15, 2018, the Issuer may at its option redeem the 2023 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

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 2023 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.

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 2023 Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2023 Notes waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the Indenture with respect to the 2023 Notes except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the 2023 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 2023 Notes, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.
