The first paragraph of Section 1.01 of the Indenture is fully incorporated by reference into this Supplemental Indenture. For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, all words, terms or phrases used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
“Authorized Officers” has the meaning specified in Section 5.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.
“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the city of Toronto.
“Canada Yield Price” means in respect of any redemption of the Offered Notes, a price calculated to provide a yield to the Par Call Date, compounded semi-annually and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, equal to the Government of Canada Yield on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date of such Offered Notes, plus 40 basis points.
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following after the date of issuance of the Offered Notes:
(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the Company’s Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock;
(3) the Company consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges or amalgamates with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged for, Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or
(4) the adoption by the Company’s shareholders of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Offered Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the Trigger Period (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change). However, a Change of Control Triggering Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Change in Control Triggering Event). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for such Offered Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Offered Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by such Rating Agency during that Trigger Period. 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.
“Consolidated Current Liabilities” means the aggregate of the current liabilities of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding liabilities of Unrestricted Subsidiaries and excluding xxxxxxxx on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs and profits) appearing on the most recent available consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, however, that in no event shall Consolidated Current Liabilities include any obligation of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries issued under a revolving credit or similar agreement if the obligation issued under such agreement matures by its terms within 12 months from the date thereof but by the terms of such agreement such obligation may be renewed or extended or the amount thereof reborrowed or refunded at the option of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for a term in excess of 12 months from the date of determination.
“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means Consolidated Tangible Assets after deduction of Consolidated Current Liabilities.
“Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity” means at any date the shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis as of such date in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided that, for purposes hereof, the consolidated shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall be calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of ASC 715-Compensation-Retirement Benefits or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.
“Consolidated Subsidiary” means, as to any Person, each subsidiary of such Person (whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired) the financial statements of which shall be (or should have been) consolidated with the financial statements of such Person in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

If the Company shall so deliver Notes to the Trustee (or receive credit for Notes so delivered), the amount which the Company shall be required to apply to the retirement of indebtedness pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Notes.
SECTION 3.03 Restrictions on Transfer of Principal Property to Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
So long as the Offered Notes remain Outstanding, the Company will not itself, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer (whether by merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) Principal Property that has a gross book value (without deduction for any depreciation reserves) at the date as of which the determination is being made in excess of two percent of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to any Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless it shall apply, within one year after the effective date of such transaction, or shall have committed within one year after such effective date to apply, an amount equal to the fair value of such Principal Property at the time of such transfer, as determined by the Board of Directors, (a) to the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment which are, or, upon, such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Property or Properties or a part thereof, (b) to the redemption of Notes of any series in accordance with the provisions of Article Four of the Indenture, (c) to the repayment of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any such indebtedness owed to any Restricted Subsidiary or any subordinated indebtedness of the Company), or (d) in part to an acquisition, construction, development or improvement and in part to such redemption and/or repayment, in each case as set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above; provided that, in lieu of applying an amount equivalent to all or any part of such fair value to such redemption, the Company may, within one year after such transfer, deliver to the Trustee Notes (other than Notes made the basis of reduction in a mandatory sinking fund payment pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Indenture) for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of the Notes of that series pursuant to clause (b) above by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so delivered.

SECTION 3.04 Right to Require Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Offered Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Offered Notes in whole in accordance with the provisions of Article IV hereof by giving irrevocable notice to the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, each Holder of Offered Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Offered Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each holder of Offered Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Offered Notes electing to have Offered Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Offered Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Offered Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Offered Notes or portions of Offered Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(ii) at or prior to 10:00 a.m., city of Toronto time, deposit or cause a third party to deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Offered Notes or portions of Offered Notes properly tendered; and
| 12 |
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Offered Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Offered Notes or portions of Offered Notes being repurchased.
The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Offered Notes if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Offered Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Offered Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment on the Change of Control Payment Date.
The Company must comply in all material respects with applicable Canadian securities legislation to the extent such legislation is applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Offered Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities legislation conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Offered Notes, the Company shall be required to comply with such securities legislation and shall not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Offered Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

REDEMPTION
SECTION 4.01 Applicability of Article Four of the Indenture.
The provisions of Article Four of the Indenture shall be applicable with respect to the Offered Notes.
SECTION 4.02 Redemption at the Option of the Company.
The Company may redeem the Offered Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, prior to the Par Call Date, at its option, at the Redemption Price equal to the greater of:
(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Offered Notes being redeemed; and
(b) the applicable Canada Yield Price
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Offered Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Offered Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Offered Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Offered Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
| 13 |
Unless the Company shall default in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Offered Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on such date.
SECTION 4.03 Notice of Redemption.
The Company shall provide Holders of Offered Notes to be redeemed notice thereof by first-class mail at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. If fewer than all the Offered Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Offered Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the Notes Outstanding not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate or in accordance with the procedures of the Depository.
SECTION 4.04 Special Mandatory Redemption.
In the event that (a) the Veoneer Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to December 19, 2023 or such later date as the parties to the Equity Purchase Agreement (as defined below) may agree as the End Date thereunder (the “End Date”) or (b) the Equity Purchase Agreement is terminated (any such event being a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company shall redeem all of the Offered Notes then outstanding (such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Offered Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, installments of interest on the Offered Notes that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holders thereof as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the terms of the Offered Notes, the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture.
The Company shall cause the notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to be mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, within five Business Days after the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, to each Holder of Offered Notes at its registered address. Such notice shall state, in addition to the other matters required by the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, that a Special Mandatory Redemption Event has occurred (and shall describe generally the nature of such event) and that all of the Offered Notes then outstanding will be redeemed on the Redemption Date set forth in such notice (which shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than three Business Days and no later than 30 days after the date such notice is given) (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). Once notice of Special Mandatory Redemption is mailed, the Offered Notes will become due and payable on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, and will be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption.
Any failure to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of the Offered Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Offered Notes.
| 14 |
Upon the consummation of the Veoneer Acquisition, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply.
