Indenture

On June15, 2017, Superior Industries International, Inc.
(Superior) completed its previously announced private offering
(the Offering) of 250million aggregate principal amount of 6.000%
Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes) to a purchase agreement, dated
June8, 2017, by and between Superior, certain subsidiary
guarantors party thereto (the Subsidiary Guarantors) and J.P.
Morgan Securities PLC, as representative of the several initial
purchasers named therein. Superior used $11.2 million of the net
proceeds from the Offering to repay a portion of the outstanding
indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility (as defined below).

In connection with the closing of the Offering, Superior and the
Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Indenture, dated June15,
2017 (the Indenture), between Superior, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch,
as registrar and transfer agent and The Bank of New York Mellon
acting through its London Branch, as trustee (the Trustee). The
Indenture provides, among other things, that the Notes will be
senior unsecured obligations of Superior. Superiors payment
obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by
the Subsidiary Guarantors Interest payable on the Notes on June15
and December15 of each year, beginning on December15, 2017. The
Notes will mature on June15, 2025.

The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other
things, limit the ability of Superior and the Subsidiary
Guarantors to: (i)incur additional indebtedness or issue certain
preferred stock; (ii)pay dividends on, or make distributions in
respect of, their capital stock; (iii)make certain investments or
other restricted payments; (iv)sell certain assets or issue
capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; (v)create liens;
(vi)merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of substantially all
of their assets; and (vii)engage in certain transactions with
affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important
limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default that
include, among other things (subject in certain cases to
customary grace and cure periods): (i) nonpayment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, when due; (ii)breach of covenants
in the Indenture; (iii)a failure to pay certain judgments; and
(v)certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If an event of
default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or holders of at
least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. These events of
default are subject to a number of important qualifications,
limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

Superior may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on or after
June15, 2020 at redemption prices of 103.000% and 101.500% of the
principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the
12-month period beginning June15, 2020 or 2021, respectively, and
a redemption price of 50% of the principal amount thereof on or
after June15, 2022, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest
to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. At any
time prior to June15, 2020, Superior may redeem the Notes, in
whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 50% of the
principal amount thereof, plus a make-whole premium, and accrued
and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable
redemption date. At any time prior to June15, 2020, Superior may

outstanding under the Uniwheels Credit Agreement.

Credit Agreement (the Second Credit Agreement Amendment) to

Agreement, including the applicable margin for the term loans,

Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement. The First Amended
