The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under

             and                      (each an “Interest Payment Date”) in each
year commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above (which for avoidance of doubt shall be

Payment Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date, in which case commencing on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Original Issue Date, to the registered holder of this Note on the Regular Record
Date with respect to such Interest Payment Date, and on the Stated Maturity Date (or [any Redemption Date as defined below][the Optional Redemption Date] or any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date[, in each case] with respect to which such option

from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Original Issue Date specified above
until the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment. If the Maturity Date or an Interest Payment Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day as defined below, principal, premium, if any, or interest payable with respect
to such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on the Maturity Date or an Interest Payment Date is made on the next succeeding Business Day in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence, no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will,
subject to certain exceptions, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether
or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at the Maturity Date will be payable to the Person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business
on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note and the Trustee not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

other than a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. 

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest due on this Note will be made in immediately available funds at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York [in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts][If
applicable, insert description of currency, currencies, composite currency, composite currencies or currency units in which the principal of or any premium or interest is payable]; provided, however, that payment of interest on any
Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date may be made at the option of the Company (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register and (ii) by wire transfer
in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may be designed by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register in writing not less than 10 days prior to the date of the interest payment; and provided,
further that payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. A Holder of not less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes having the same Interest Payment Dates may by written notice to the Paying and
Authenticating Agent and Security Registrar (referred to below) at its principal corporate trust office in The City of New York (or at such other address as the Company shall give notice in writing), on or before the Regular Record Date preceding an
Interest Payment Date, arrange to have the interest payable on all Notes held by such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, and all subsequent Interest Payment Dates until written notice to the contrary is given to the Paying and Authenticating
Agent and Security Registrar, made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a designated account maintained at a bank in The City of New York (or other bank consented to by the Company) as the holder of such Notes shall have designated;
provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor.

for the benefit of securities other than Securities of this series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and
the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Covenant
Breach” under the Indenture. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term “series” refers to such Securities with identical terms, except as to issue date, principal amount and, if applicable, the date from which interest begins to

obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount

affected under the Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. [Insert if this Note is a Senior Medium-Term Note – For the purpose of this paragraph, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or

 [Insert if this Note is a Senior Subordinated
Medium-Term Note – As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or this Note or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of

payment of principal hereof (and premium, if any, hereon) or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.] 

[Insert if this Note is a Senior Medium-Term Note – As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this
Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or this Note or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee
written notice of a continuing Event of Default or Covenant Breach with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default or Covenant Breach, as applicable, as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof (and premium, if any, hereon) or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. For purposes
of this paragraph, the term “series” refers to such Securities with identical terms, except as to issue date, principal amount and, if applicable, the date from which interest begins to accrue.] 

If so provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the above-referenced provisions of the Indenture regarding the ability of
Holders to waive certain defaults, or to request the Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard to such Securities. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Note, at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the
Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and premium, if any, on and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or by such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and thereupon one or more new Notes and
of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $[1,000][Insert other minimum denomination] or any amount
in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $[1,000][Insert other minimum denomination] and, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, shall be denominated in U.S. dollars. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due
presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be had
for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
