FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of March 16, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between BorgWarner Inc. (formerly known as Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. successor in interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. (successor in interest to The Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association), a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), under the Indenture, dated as of September 23, 1999 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

WHEREAS, the Company executed and delivered the Indenture to the Trustee to provide for, among other things, the issuance from time to time of the Company’s debt securities in one or more series as might be authorized under the Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may enter into an indenture supplemental to the Indenture to establish the form and terms of any series of Securities (as defined in the Indenture) as provided by Sections 201 and 301 of the Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has duly adopted resolutions authorizing the Company to issue the Notes provided for in this Supplemental Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to enter into this Supplemental Indenture to provide for the establishment of two series of Securities, one series to be known as the 3.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and the other series to be known as the 4.375% Senior Notes due 2045 (the “2045 Notes” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the “Notes”), the form, substance, terms, provisions and conditions of each series of which are set forth in the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Trustee execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture and has satisfied all requirements necessary to make (i) this Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument in accordance with its terms and (ii) each series of Notes provided for hereby, when executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company.

NOW THEREFORE, each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes:

ARTICLE 1

Definitions

Section 1.01. Definition of Terms.

Unless otherwise specified herein or the context otherwise requires:

(a) a term defined in the Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Supplemental Indenture unless the definition of such term is amended and supplemented pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture;

(b) the terms defined in this Article and in this Supplemental Indenture include the plural as well as the singular;

(d) Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof;

(e) With respect to each series of Notes, the following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 1.01(e):

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes of the applicable series become rated below Investment Grade by each Rating Agency on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of such Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes of such series is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies); provided, that, a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect to a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) 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 or the Trustee’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, such Change of Control (whether or not such Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible for monitoring the rating status of the Notes, making any request upon any Rating Agency, or determining whether any Below Investment Grade Rating Event has occurred.

“Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (as defined below)) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Stock measured by voting power rather than number of shares.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means, with respect to each series of Notes, the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for such series of Notes.

“Depositary” means the clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, that is designated to act as the depositary for the Global Notes representing the Notes of each series. The Depository Trust Company shall be the initial Depositary, until a successor shall have been appointed and become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Indenture, and thereafter, “Depositary” shall mean or include such successor.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Global Notes” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.05(b).

“Initial Notes” means, with respect to each series of Notes, (i) all Notes of such series issued on the first date that Notes of such series were originally issued under this Supplemental Indenture, (ii) any additional Notes of such series issued under Section 2.02(a) and (iii) any Notes issued in replacement for the Notes of such series.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s), a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P) and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc.

“Notes” shall have the meaning set forth in the recitals above and shall include the Global Notes.

“Rating Agency” means: (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes of the applicable series or fails to make a rating of the Notes of the applicable series publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s board of directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc.

“Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

ARTICLE 2

The Notes

Section 2.01. Designation.

The Company hereby establishes two series of Securities, one series designated the “3.375% Senior Notes due 2025” and another series designated the “4.375% Senior Notes due 2045,” for issuance under the Indenture.

Section 2.02. Principal Amount; Series Treatment.

(a) The 2025 Notes shall be initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, and the 2045 Notes shall be initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. However, the Company may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the outstanding Notes of either series, issue additional Notes of any series, so that such additional Notes and the outstanding Notes of such series shall be consolidated together and form a single series of Securities under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture.

(b) Any additional Notes issued under Section 2.02(a) shall have the same terms in all respects as the corresponding series of Notes, except that interest will accrue on the additional Notes from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes of such series (other than the additional Notes) or, if no interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes of such series from the first date that the Outstanding Notes of such series were originally issued under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture.

(c) For all purposes of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, all Notes of the same series, whether Initial Notes or additional Notes issued under Section 2.02(a), shall constitute one series of Securities and shall vote together as one series of Securities.

Section 2.03. Maturity.

Unless previously redeemed or repurchased in full in accordance with Article 3 of this Supplemental Indenture, the 2025 Notes will become due and payable on March 15, 2025 and the 2045 Notes will become due and payable on March 15, 2045.

Section 2.04. Interest.

The 2025 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.375% per annum and the 2045 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 4.375% per annum, in each case from, and including, March 16, 2015 until their maturity or earlier redemption or repurchase, such interest to be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, to the Holders of record of the Notes of such series as of the close of business on the March 1 and September 1, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding such interest payment dates, commencing, in the case of the Initial Notes or any additional Notes issued prior to such date, on September 15, 2015.

Section 2.05. Form of Notes.

(a) The 2025 Notes shall contain the terms set forth in, and shall be substantially in the form of, Exhibit A-1 hereto. The 2045 Notes shall contain the terms set forth in, and shall be substantially in the form of, Exhibit A-2 hereto. The terms and provisions contained in the form of 2025 Notes and form of 2045 Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2, respectively, shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Notwithstanding Section 303 of the Indenture, the Notes do not require a corporate seal to be reproduced thereon.

(b) So long as the Notes of a series are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated herein, all of the Notes of such series shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form of such series registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary.

The Notes of each series shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global securities in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 (the “Global 2025 Notes”), and Exhibit A-2 (the “Global 2045 Notes,” and together with the Global 2025 Notes, the “Global Notes”), registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes of a series may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, in accordance with the instructions given by the Holder thereof, as hereinafter provided.

The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in the Indenture, beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Note.

Any Global Note shall represent such of the Outstanding Notes of such series as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes of such series represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes of the applicable series represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes of such series in accordance with the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. Payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof.

The Company and the Trustee may treat the Depositary (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner and Holder of the Notes of the applicable series registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Holders under the Indenture, registering the transfer of such Notes, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any participant in the Depositary, any Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes of the applicable series under or through the Depositary or any such participant, or any other Person which is not shown on the register as being a Holder of Notes of the applicable series, the accuracy of any records maintained by the Depositary or any

such participant, the payment by the Depositary or any such participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the applicable series, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Holders under the Indenture, any consent given or other action taken by the Depositary as Holder, or any selection by the Depositary of any participant or other Person to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of the applicable series.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes of each series. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Depositary and the Trustee and each agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and applicable Depositary procedures.

Section 2.06. Transfer Restrictions. With respect to each series of Notes, the following provisions shall apply only to Global Notes of such series:

(i) Each Global Note authenticated under this Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or Trustee if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note of the same series for all purposes of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Supplemental Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes of the same series registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof except as provided in Section 305 of the Indenture. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note of such series; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

(iii) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued pursuant to Section 305 of the Indenture.

(iv) At such time as all interests in a Global Note of the same series have been redeemed, repurchased, canceled or exchanged for Note of such series in certificated form, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is redeemed, repurchased, canceled or exchanged for Notes of the same series in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Trustee, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

Section 2.07. Transfers and Exchanges. The Notes of each series shall be transferred and exchanged by the Holders thereof and the Trustee in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 305 the Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

Redemption and Repurchase Of The Notes

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption by Company. The Notes of each series may be redeemed at the option of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Note set forth as Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, as applicable.

Section 3.02. Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to a series of Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes of such series as described in Section 3.01, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes of such series to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be repurchased plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of a Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes of the applicable series on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this Supplemental Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date for the Notes of the applicable series, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Notes of such series or portions of Notes of such series properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes of such series or portions of Notes of such series properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes of such series properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such series being repurchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail its check or otherwise cause to be paid to each Holder of Notes of the applicable series properly tendered the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of such Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes of either series upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes of the applicable series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

ARTICLE 4

In case any provision contained in this Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes, but this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

Section 5.05. Counterparts.

This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
