“Credit Agreement”), among ALLISON TRANSMISSION HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), ALLISON TRANSMISSION, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other

Borrower, the Agents and the Initial Term B-2 Lenders (as defined below). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, Borrower has hereby notified the Administrative Agent and each Term Lender that it intends to incur Specified
Refinancing Debt pursuant to Section 2.26(b) of the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity of up to $801,087,593.57 (the “Maximum Term-B Facility Amount”) of the Term Loans; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.26(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may establish an additional Tranche of
Specified Refinancing Debt by, among other things, entering into this Amendment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement with Term Lenders agreeing to provide such additional Tranche of Specified Refinancing Debt (each such Term
Lender agreeing to provide Term B-2 Loans (as defined below) and any assignees thereof, are referred to herein as “Term B-2 Lenders); 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the initial Term B-2 Lenders party hereto (the “Initial Term B-2 Lender”) convert all or a portion of their Term Loans to a new
Tranche of term loans; and 
 WHEREAS, each Initial Term B-2 Lender has indicated its willingness to convert the
amount of its Term Loans specified on its signature page to this Amendment into a new Tranche of term loans on the terms and subject to the conditions herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. TERM B-2 FACILITY. 
 1.1 Term B-2 Loans. Effective as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 2 below), each Initial Term B-2 Lender hereby agrees to extend the maturity of its Term
Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount specified as the “Maximum Extension Amount” on such Initial Term B-2 Lender’s signature page to this Amendment or (b) the Maximum Extension Amount of such
Initial Term B-2 Lender reduced ratably with the Maximum Extension Amounts of all other Initial Term B-2 Lenders until the aggregate amount of all such extended Term Loans equals the Maximum Term B-2 Facility Amount. Each such extended Term Loan is
hereby deemed to be a “Term B-2 Loan” and all of the Term B-2 Loans shall constitute a new Tranche of Specified Refinancing Debt (the “Term B-2 Facility”) under Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to
Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement, the Term B-2 Loans shall have the terms set forth in this Amendment and in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment). 

 1.2 Term B-1 Loans. The Term Loans of any Term Lenders that are not Initial
Term B-2 Lenders and the portion of Term Loans of Initial Term B-2 Lenders that are not converted to Term B-2 Loans pursuant to Section 1.1 above shall be deemed to be “Term B-1 Loans.” 

1.3 Applicable Margin. The Term B-2 Loans may from time to time be LIBO Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the
Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.13 of the Credit Agreement. The Applicable Margin with respect to the Term B-2 Loans shall mean a percentage per annum equal to (i) with respect to LIBO Rate Loans,
3.50% and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, 2.50%. 
 1.4 Amortization and Maturity Date. The Term B-2
Loans of each Lender shall be payable in equal consecutive quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each of December, March, June and September, commencing on the last Business Day of March 2012, in an amount equal to one quarter of one
percent (0.25%) of the aggregate amount of Term B-2 Loans extended on the Third Amendment Effective Date (as adjusted to reflect any prepayments thereof (other than any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment)), with the remaining balance of Term B-2 Loans
payable on August 7, 2017 (the “Term B-2 Maturity Date”). 
 1.5 Mandatory Prepayments. The
Term B-2 Loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayments on the same basis as Term B-1 Loans as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of the Credit Agreement, any such mandatory prepayment on
account of principal of and interest on the Term B-1 Loans and Term B-2 Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied to the remaining installments of each term loan Tranche as directed by the Borrower; provided that each such
prepayment is applied ratably between each of the Term B-1 Facility and the Term B-2 Facility. 
 1.6 Optional
Prepayments. The Term B-2 Loans may be optionally prepaid on the same terms as Term B-1 Loans as set forth in Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement. As set forth in Section 2.18(b) of the Credit Agreement, optional prepayments of
the Term B-1 Loans and any Term B-2 Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments of each Term Loan Tranche as specified by the Borrower; provided that any such prepayment of the Term B-2 Facility shall be applied ratably to the Term
B-1 Facility. 
 1.7 Credit Agreement Governs. Effective as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, except as set
forth in this Amendment, (a) the Term B-2 Loans shall have identical terms as the Term B-1 Loans and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions, including any provisions restricting the rights, or regarding the obligations, of the Loan
Parties or any provisions regarding the rights of the Term Lenders, of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the Term B-2 Loans shall be Specified Refinancing Debt and Specified Refinancing Term Loans under the Credit
Agreement, (c) this Amendment shall be a Refinancing Amendment under the Credit Agreement, (d) each reference in the Credit Agreement to (i) the “Term Loans” made on the Closing Date shall be changed to refer to “Term
B-1 Loans”, (ii) to “Majority Term Facility Lenders” shall be changed to “Majority Term B-1 Facility Lenders”, (iii) to “Term Facility” shall be changed to “Term B-1 Facility”, (iv) to

 Exhibit 4.1 
 GLOBAL AMENDMENT 
 to 

DEPOSITARY TRUST AGREEMENTS 
 This Global Amendment to Depositary Trust Agreements (this “Amendment”), dated as of March 6, 2012, between RYDEX SPECIALIZED PRODUCTS LLC, d/b/a “RYDEX INVESTMENTS”, as Sponsor
(the “Sponsor”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), 
 WITNESSES, that 

WHEREAS the Sponsor and the Trustee have entered into the following Depositary Trust Agreements (each, a “Depositary Trust
Agreement,” and collectively, the “Depositary Trust Agreements”) establishing the trusts indicated (each, a “Trust,” and collectively, the “Trusts”) : 

 

	 	(1)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares® Australian Dollar Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; 

 

	 	(2)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares® British Pound Sterling Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; 

 

	 	(3)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares® Canadian Dollar Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; 

 

	 	(4)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated August 16, 2011, establishing the CurrencyShares® Chinese Renminbi Trust; 

  

	 	(5)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated December 2, 2005, establishing the CurrencyShares® Euro Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; 

  

	 	(6)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated February 1, 2007, establishing the CurrencyShares® Japanese Yen Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; 

 

	 	(7)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated August 7, 2008, establishing the CurrencyShares® Singapore Dollar Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; 

 

	 	(8)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated August 7, 2008, establishing the CurrencyShares® South African Rand Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; 

 

	 	(9)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares® Swedish Krona Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof; and 

 

	 	(10)	 Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares® Swiss Franc Trust; and 

 WHEREAS Section 8.1 of each Depositary Trust Agreement provides substantially as
follows with respect to the amendment of such Depositary Trust Agreement: 
 The Trustee and the Sponsor may amend any provisions
of this Agreement without the consent of any Registered Owner; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.10, Section 4.2 through Section 4.7, this Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 may
not be amended unless (i) the provision relates solely to procedural or logistical matters (as distinguished from core economic rights), or (ii) prior to the amendment, (a) the Sponsor obtains and delivers to the Trustee a written
opinion of counsel to the effect that after such amendment the Trust will continue to be classified as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and (b) in the event that such opinion of counsel assumes that certain actions are taken by the
Sponsor or the Trustee in connection with such amendment, such actions shall be taken by the Sponsor or the Trustee, as the case may be. Any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges,
registration fees or other such expenses), or that otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of the Registered Owners, will not become effective as to outstanding Shares until 30 days after notice of such amendment is given to the
Registered Owners. Every Registered Owner and Beneficial Owner, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold any Shares or an interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by this
Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Registered Owner of Shares to Surrender Baskets of Shares and receive therefor the amount of Trust Property represented thereby, except in order to comply with
mandatory provisions of applicable law. 
 WHEREAS the Sponsor has caused to be delivered to the Trustee an opinion of
Foley & Lardner LLP addressed to the Sponsor and the Trustee to the effect that after giving effect to this Amendment and any action contemplated by this Amendment, the affected Trust will continue to be classified as a “grantor
trust” under the Code. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements hereinafter set forth, the
parties hereby agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Amendment of Section 4.11. Section 4.11 of each Depositary Trust Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 “Section 4.11 Grantor Trust. 

Nothing in this Agreement, any agreement with a Depository, or otherwise, shall be construed to give the Trustee or Sponsor the power to
vary the investment of the Beneficial Owners within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4(c) of the regulations under the Code or any similar or successor provision of the regulations under the Code, nor shall the Sponsor give the Trustee any
direction that would vary the investment of the Beneficial Owners. However, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for any failure of the Trust to qualify as a grantor trust under the Code or any comparable provision of the laws of any State
or other jurisdiction where 

 
that treatment is sought, except that this sentence shall not limit the Trustee’s responsibility for the administration of the Trust in accordance with this Agreement. Neither the
Trustee nor the Sponsor will agree to any amendment of the Deposit Account Agreement unless the Sponsor obtains and delivers to the Trustee a prior written opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment will have no adverse effect on the
classification of the Trust as a “grantor trust” under the Code; provided, however that a prior written opinion of counsel shall not be required to amend Section 6.4 of the Deposit Account Agreement in order to increase or decrease
the U.S. dollar equivalent amount of the maximum aggregate deposit liability of the Depository or, if applicable, the maximum permitted daily deposit amount.” 
  

	 	2.	This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same Amendment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges having received an executed counterpart of this Amendment. 

  

	 	3.	Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreements. 

 

	 	4.	This Amendment shall be interpreted under, and all rights and duties under this Amendment shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have each caused this Amendment to be executed as of the
day and year above written.
