 WHEREAS: 
  

	 	(1)	The Borrower, indirectly a 100% owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, has stated that it is undertaking a project concerning the Borrower’s RDI activities to be carried out in Sweden, Germany and France for the
development of innovative passive and active safety technologies for motor vehicles aiming at the enhancement of vehicle occupants’ and pedestrians’ safety, over the period 2013-2016, as more particularly described in the technical
description (the “Technical Description”) set out in Schedule A (the “Project”). 

 The
Guarantor, having its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange and with Swedish depositary receipts on the Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm, is the parent company of the Autoliv group of companies. 

 

	 	(2)	The total cost of the Project, as estimated by the Bank, is EUR 425,400,000 (four hundred and twenty-five million, four hundred thousand euros) and the Borrower has stated that it intends to finance the Project as
follows: 

  

					
	Source	  	Amount (EUR m)	 
		
	 Own funds and other funding sources
	  	 	225.40	  
		
	 Credit from the Bank
	  	 	200.00	  
		
	 TOTAL
	  	 	425.40	  

  

	 	(3)	In order to fulfil the financing plan set out in Recital (2), the Borrower has requested from the Bank a credit of EUR 200,000,000 (two hundred million euros) or the equivalent thereof. 


 

	 	(4)	The Bank considering that the financing of the Project falls within the scope of its functions, and having regard to the statements and facts cited in these Recitals, has decided to give effect to the Borrower’s
request providing to it a credit in an amount EUR 200,000,000 (two hundred million euros) or the equivalent thereof under this finance contract (the “Contract”); provided that the amount of the Bank loan shall not, in any case,
exceed 50% (fifty per cent) of the total cost of the Project set out in Recital (2). 

  

	 	(5)	The board of directors of the Borrower has authorised the borrowing of the sum of EUR 200,000,000 (two hundred million euros) or the equivalent thereof represented by this credit on the terms and conditions set out in
this Contract in the form set out in Annex I. 

  

	 	(6)	The financial obligations of the Borrower under this Contract are to be guaranteed by the Guarantor under a guarantee by execution of a guarantee agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”).


  

	 	(7)	The Statute of the Bank provides that the Bank shall ensure that its funds are used as rationally as possible in the interests of the European Union; and, accordingly, the terms and conditions of the Bank’s loan
operations must be consistent with relevant policies of the European Union. 

  

	 	(8)	The Bank considers that access to information plays an essential role in the reduction of environmental and social risks, including human rights violations, linked to the projects it finances and has therefore
established its transparency policy, the purpose of which is to enhance the accountability of the EIB Group towards its stakeholders and the citizens of the European Union in general.

	4.03A(1)	PROJECT COST REDUCTION 

 If the total cost of the Project should be reduced from the figure
stated in Recital (2) to a level at which the amount of the Credit exceeds 50% (fifty per cent) of such cost, the Bank may in proportion to the reduction forthwith, by notice to the Borrower, cancel such portion of the Credit and/or demand
prepayment of such portion of the Loan so that the Credit or Loan does not exceed 50%(fifty per cent) of the cost of the Project. 
  

	4.03A(2)	PARI PASSU TO ANOTHER TERM LOAN 

 If the Guarantor or the Borrower or any other member of the

unexpired term of the Term Loan prepaid and, following such prepayment the amount outstanding under the Loan constitutes more than 20% (twenty per cent) of the aggregate outstanding loans to the Group, the Bank may, by notice to the Borrower, cancel
the Credit and demand prepayment of the Loan, in such proportion as the prepaid amount of the Term Loan bears to the aggregate outstanding amount of all Term Loans. 

The Bank shall address its notice to the Borrower within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of notice under Article 8.02(b)(iii). 

For the purposes of this Article, “loan” includes any loan, bond or other form of financial indebtedness or any obligation for

 The Guarantor and the Borrower, respectively, shall promptly inform the Bank
if a Change-of-Control Event has occurred or is likely to occur. In such case, or if the Bank has reasonable cause to believe that a Change-of-Control Event has occurred or is about to occur, the Bank may demand that the Guarantor or the Borrower
consult with it. Such consultation shall take place within 30 (thirty) days from the date of the Bank’s demand. After the earlier of (a) the lapse of 30 (thirty) days from the date of such request for consultation the Bank in its sole
discretion is of the reasonable opinion that the effects of the Change-of-Control Event cannot or will not be mitigated to its satisfaction or (b) the occurrence of the anticipated Change-of-Control Event, the Bank may, by notice to the
Borrower, cancel the Credit and demand prepayment of the Loan, together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued and outstanding under this Contract. The Borrower shall effect payment of the amount demanded on the date specified by the
Bank, such date being a date falling not less than 30 (thirty) days from the date of the demand.

a Change-of-Law Event has occurred or is likely to occur. In such case, or if the Bank has reasonable cause to believe that a Change-of-Law Event has occurred or is about to occur, the Bank may demand that the Guarantor or the Borrower consult with
it. Such consultation shall take place within 30 (thirty) days from the date of the Bank’s demand. If, after the earlier of (a) the lapse of 30 (thirty) days from the date of such request for consultation the Bank in its sole discretion is
of the reasonable opinion that the effects of the Change-of-Control Event cannot or will not be mitigated to its satisfaction or (b) the occurrence of the anticipated Change-of-Law Event, the Bank may, by notice to the Borrower, cancel the
Credit and demand prepayment of the Loan, together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued and outstanding under this Contract. The Borrower shall effect payment of the amount demanded on the date specified by the Bank, such date being a
date falling not less than 30 (thirty) days from the date of the demand. 
 For the purposes of this Article “Change-of-Law
Event” means the enactment, promulgation, execution or ratification of or any change in or amendment to any law, rule, decree or regulation (or in the application or official interpretation of any law, rule, decree or regulation) that

	4.03A(5)	ILLEGALITY 

 If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for the Bank to perform any
of its obligations as contemplated in this Contract or to fund or maintain the Loan, the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and may immediately (i) suspend or cancel the undisbursed portion of the Credit and/or (ii) demand prepayment
of the Loan, together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued or outstanding under this Contract on the date indicated by the Bank in its notice to the Borrower. 
  

	4.03A(6)	GUARANTEE 

 If the Guarantor fails to comply with any material obligation under the Guarantee
Agreement, the Bank may cancel the Credit or demand prepayment of the Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-exercise by the Bank of the right to cancel the Credit or demand prepayment of the Loan shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the
Bank’s rights hereunder. 
  

	4.03B	Prepayment mechanics 

 Any sum demanded by the Bank pursuant to Article 4.03A, together
with any interest or other amounts accrued or outstanding under this Contract including, without limitation, any indemnity due under Article 4.03C and Article 4.04, shall be paid on the date indicated by the Bank which date shall fall not less than

 The Guarantor confirms that at the time of signature of

clause) that is either more restrictive ((a) on the Guarantor, the relevant member of the Guarantor Group or the consolidated Guarantor Group or (b) on the Borrower, the relevant member of the Borrower Group or the consolidated Borrower Group)
than any similar provision included in this Contract or materially more beneficial (to the Other Person) than any similar provision (for the benefit of the Bank) included in this Contract; 

“Restrictive Financial or Rating Covenant” means any contractual provision that gives the Other Person the right to increase
the financial cost (interest), to withdraw their credit facility, to accelerate repayment or to require provision of security, by reference in such provision to a financial key ratio of the Guarantor, the Borrower, the Guarantor Group or the
Borrower Group, or to a particular state of the balance sheet of the Guarantor, the Borrower, the Guarantor Group or the Borrower Group, profit and loss account of the Guarantor, the Borrower, the Guarantor Group or the Borrower Group or cash flow

	 	(b)	in respect of a relevant period of one or more months for which a Screen Rate is not available, the applicable Screen Rate for a term for the corresponding number of months; and 


 

	 	(c)	in respect of a relevant period of more than one month, for which a Screen Rate is not available, the Screen Rate resulting from a linear interpolation by reference to two Screen Rates, one of which is applicable for a
period next shorter and the other for a next longer than the length of the relevant period, 

 (the period for which the rate
is taken or from which the rates are interpolated being the “Representative Period”), 
 For the purposes of paragraphs
(b) and (c) above, “available” means the rates that are calculated under the aegis of the EURIBOR FBE and EURIBOR ACI (or any successor to that function of the EURIBOR FBE and EURIBOR ACI as determined by the Bank) for given

falls 2 (two) Relevant Business Days prior to the first day of the relevant period, on Reuters page EURIBOR 01 or its successor page or, failing which, by any other means of publication chosen for this purpose by the Bank. 

If such Screen Rate is not so published, the Bank shall request the principal euro-zone offices of four major banks in the euro-zone, selected
by the Bank, to quote the rate at which EUR deposits in a comparable amount are offered by each of them as at approximately 11h00, Brussels time, on the Reset Date to prime banks in the euro-zone interbank market for a period equal to the
Representative Period. If at least 2 (two) quotations are provided, the rate for that Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. 

If fewer than 2 (two) quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
major banks in the euro-zone, selected by the Bank, at approximately 11h00, Brussels time, on the day which falls 2 (two) Relevant Business Days after the Reset Date, for loans in EUR in a comparable amount to leading European Banks for a period
equal to the Representative Period. 
 If the rate resulting from the above is below zero, EURIBOR will be deemed to be zero. 

If no rate is available as provided above, EURIBOR shall be the rate (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) which is determined by the
Bank to be the all-inclusive cost to the Bank for the funding of the relevant Tranche based upon the then applicable internally generated Bank reference rate or an alternative rate determination method reasonably determined by the Bank.

 Schedule D 

Interest Rate Revision and Conversion 

If an Interest Revision/Conversion Date has been included in the Disbursement Notice for a Tranche, the following provisions shall apply. 

 

	 	A.	Mechanics of Interest Revision/Conversion 

 Upon receiving an Interest
Revision/Conversion Request the Bank shall, during the period commencing 60 (sixty) days and ending 30 (thirty) days before the Interest Revision/Conversion Date, deliver to the Borrower an Interest Revision/Conversion Proposal stating: 

 

	 	(a)	the Fixed Rate and/or Spread that would apply to the Tranche, or the part thereof indicated in the Interest Revision/Conversion Request pursuant to Article 3.01; and 


 

	 	(b)	that such rate shall apply until the Maturity Date or until a new Interest Revision/Conversion Date, if any, and that interest is payable quarterly, semi-annually or annually in
arrears on designated Payment Dates. 

 The Borrower may accept in writing an Interest Revision/Conversion Proposal by the
deadline specified therein. 
 Any amendment to the Contract requested by the Bank in this connection shall be effected by an agreement to be
concluded not later than 15 (fifteen) days prior to the relevant Interest Revision/Conversion Date. 
  

	 	B.	Effects of Interest Revision/Conversion 

 If the Borrower duly accepts in writing a Fixed
Rate or a Spread in respect of an Interest Revision/Conversion Proposal, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the Interest Revision/Conversion Date and thereafter on the designated Payment Dates. 

Prior to the Interest Revision/Conversion Date, the relevant provisions of the Contract and Disbursement Notice shall apply to the entire
Tranche. From and including the Interest Revision/Conversion Date onwards, the provisions contained in the Interest Revision/Conversion Proposal relating to the new interest rate or Spread shall apply to the Tranche (or part thereof) until the new
Interest Revision/Conversion Date, if any, or until the Maturity Date. 
  

	 	C.	Non-fulfilment of Interest Revision/Conversion 

 If the Borrower does not submit an
Interest Revision/Conversion Request or does not accept in writing the Interest Revision/Conversion Proposal for the Tranche or if the parties fail to effect an amendment requested by the Bank pursuant to Paragraph A above, the Borrower shall repay
the Tranche (or part thereof) on the Interest Revision/Conversion Date, without indemnity. The Borrower will repay on the Interest Revision/Conversion Date any part of a Tranche which is unaffected by the Interest Revision/Conversion.

	From:	  	European Investment Bank
		
	Date:	  	
		
	Subject:	  	Finance Contract between European Investment Bank, Autoliv AB (publ) and Autoilv Inc. dated — ( (the “Finance Contract”)
			
		  	FI number 82.624	  	Serapis number 2012 0517
	
	  
  

Dear Sirs,
  

Terms defined in the Finance Contract have the same meaning when used in this letter.


  

	1.	Regarding Article 1.02B(a)(ii) (Disbursement Request): although the Bank has the right under this clause to disburse a Tranche up to 4 (four) calendar months from the date of the relevant Disbursement Request, we
confirm that the Bank has not, to date, exercised this right under any of its loans, in respect of a tranche in any widely traded currency (for example EUR, GBP, USD, JPY or SEK). 


 

	2.	Regarding Article 4.03A(2) (Pari passu to another term loan): it is not the policy of the Bank to unreasonably exercise its rights under the captioned article if prepayment (in part or in full) of a Term Loan is
made out of the proceeds of a new loan having a term not less than the unexpired term of the Term Loan in question. 

  

	3.	Regarding Article 6.10 (Indebtedness for Borrowed Money): in the event the Borrower would negotiate and agree a provision on indebtedness for borrowed money, under the USD 1 100 000 000 revolving facilities agreement
dated 16 April 2011 (as amended from time to time) between amongst others the Guarantor, the Borrower, Autoliv ASP, Inc, Merchant Banking, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. And Nordea Bank AB (publ), that is
more favourable to the Borrower than Article 6.10 and subsequently the Borrower would approach the Bank with a request to align Article 6.10 with any such new provision, in good faith but in its full discretion the Bank would review and
consider any such request from the Borrower. 

  

	4.	Regarding Article 8.03 (Visits by the Bank): under normal circumstances the Bank would plan any visit to take place during normal business hours and further the Bank would give the Borrower reasonable prior notice.


  

	5.	Regarding Article 9.01 (Taxes, duties and fees): the Bank is an international institution enjoying legal personality and governed by its Statute which is attached to the Treaty establishing the European Community, as
amended and which has been ratified in Sweden. The Protocol on Privileges and Immunities which is annexed to the Treaty establishing a single Council and a single Commission of the European Communities sets out the tax-treatment of the Bank. It
provides indeed in its Article 3 that the Communities, their assets, revenues and other property shall be exempt from all direct taxes. By virtue of Article 22 of the same Protocol, the latter is also applicable to the Bank. 


 

	6.	Regarding Article 10.01A(e) (Right to demand repayment): In case a third party files a petition for bankruptcy against any borrower of (or guarantor to) the Bank, under normal circumstances it is the Bank’s
practice to carefully examine the reasons for such petition and give due consideration to them before exercising its rights under the captioned clause. 


Yours faithfully, 
 EUROPEAN
INVESTMENT BANK
