means of this Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 of the Indenture: 
  

	 	1.	The title of the new series of Debt Securities shall be 3.250% Notes due 2027. U.S. Bank National Association shall be the trustee with respect to the Notes. 


 

	 	2.	The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Notes pursuant to Article 3, the second paragraph of Section 4.03, or Section 11.04, of the Indenture) is initially $300,000,000; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to “reopen” this
series of Debt Securities and to issue additional 3.250% Notes due 2027, which shall be part of the same series as the Notes initially issued; provided, further, however, that a separate CUSIP and ISIN will be issued for any
additional Notes unless the additional Notes and the Notes initially issued are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

  

	 	3.	Principal on the Notes shall be payable on March 1, 2027. 

  

	 	4.	The Notes shall bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per annum, which interest shall accrue from February 21, 2017 and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 and on the maturity
date, beginning on September 1, 2017, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively; provided, however, that interest payable on
the maturity date will be paid to the person to whom principal shall be payable. 

  

	 	5.	The principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall initially be payable at the offices of U.S. Bank National Association, as paying agent. Payments of interest on the Notes will be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds. Principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes payable at Stated Maturity or other maturity date in respect of the Notes will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of the Notes at
the office of the Company’s paying agent. 

  

	 	6.	The Notes will be redeemable prior to maturity at any time at the Company’s option as described in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the
Indenture. The Company may, subject to compliance with applicable law, at any time, purchase any Notes in the open market or otherwise.

	 	9.	Payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable in United States dollars. 

  

	 	10.	The Notes shall be issued in the form of fully registered Global Debt Securities in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust

the Depository or its nominee. 

  

	 	11.	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.02 of the Indenture or any other provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, notice of any redemption to the Holders of the Notes may, in the Company’s discretion,
be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption will describe each such condition and, if applicable, will state that, in the Company’s discretion,
the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been
satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed. 

  

	 	12.	The covenants in the Indenture, as they relate to the Notes, are hereby amended as follows: 


(a)    In addition to the eleven exceptions enumerated under Section 5.05(a) of the Indenture, a twelfth exception is

more of such Subsidiaries. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding Section 5.05(b) of the Indenture, in addition to the exceptions
enumerated under Section 5.05(a) of the Indenture, as modified hereby, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may issue, assume or guarantee other Secured Debt without securing the Notes if the total amount of Secured Debt outstanding
(excluding Secured Debt secured by the types of Security Interests set forth in Section 5.05(a) of the Indenture, as modified hereby) and the value of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (other than Sale and Leaseback Transactions in connection

hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 Satisfaction and Discharge. The Notes, and the Indenture as it relates to
the Notes, will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes and certain rights of the Trustee, as expressly provided for in the Indenture), when: 

(1)    either (a) all of the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except lost, stolen

payment thereof at such Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (2)    the Company has paid all other
sums then due and payable with respect to the Notes under the Indenture by the Company; and 
 (3)    the Company has

released, terminated and discharged with respect to the Notes (“Legal Defeasance”), except for: 

(1)    the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or
premium, if any, on, the Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; 
 (2)    the Company’s
obligations with respect to the Notes concerning temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

Default. 
 (c)    To exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

(1)    the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash

the principal of, and interest and premium, if 

  
 5 








 
any, on, the Outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to the
Stated Maturity thereof or to a particular Redemption Date; 
 (2)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the issue date of the
Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance
had not occurred; 
 (3)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to
U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4)    no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and/or the grant of any Security Interest to secure such borrowing); 

(5)    the deposit must not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; 
 (6)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance must not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Company is, or any Subsidiary of the Company is, a party or by which the Company is,
or any Subsidiary of the Company is, bound; 
 (7)    the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the Company’s other creditors with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding the Company’s creditors
or the creditors of others; 

  
 6 








 (8)    the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (c)(1) through (c)(6) above have been complied with; and 

(9)    the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary
assumptions, qualifications, and exclusions) stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(6) above have been complied with. 

Section 13.02 of the Indenture, as modified by this Officers’ Certificate, shall apply to the Notes.

	No. R-6	  	US$300,000,000

 SNAP-ON INCORPORATED, a corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assignees, the
principal sum of THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($300,000,000) on March 1, 2027 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from February 21, 2017, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined
below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year and at maturity (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on September 1, 2017 (in each case
excluding the Interest Payment Date), at the rate of 3.250% per annum, until the principal hereof becomes due and payable, and at such rate on any overdue principal and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable)
on any overdue installment of interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 3.250% Note Due 2027 (this
“Note,” and all of the Notes collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”) (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which
shall be the February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable on the Interest Payment Date occurring at maturity
will be paid to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date by virtue
of his having been such Holder, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to
be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. If any Interest Payment Date, any Redemption Date (as defined below) or the Stated Maturity Date or other
maturity date in respect of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the payment to be made on such date will be made on the next Business Day without additional interest and with the same effect as if it were made on the originally
scheduled date. 
 Payments of interest will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Principal and premium, if any, and
interest payable at Stated Maturity or other maturity date in respect of the Notes will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of the Notes at the office of a paying agent in The City of New York, New York or at such other office or
agency as the Company may designate. 







 Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been duly executed by the Trustee referred to
herein by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Debt Securities”), issued or to be issued in
one or more series under an indenture, dated as of January 8, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders
of the Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of 3.250% Notes due 2027 initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000, except
that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, “reopen” the series and issue additional notes that have the same ranking, interest rate, Stated Maturity Date and other terms as this Note (except for the issue date and, in some
cases, the public offering price and the first interest payment date); provided, however, that a separate CUSIP and ISIN will be issued for any additional notes unless the additional notes and the Notes are fungible for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. 
 Prior to December 1, 2026, the Company may, at the Company’s option, redeem the Notes, in whole or from
time to time in part. The price payable for any Notes to be redeemed (the “Redemption Price”) on the date of redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) prior to December 1, 2026 will be equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of
interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus in either of case (i) or (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. In addition, at any time on or after
December 1, 2026, the Company may, at the Company’s option, redeem the Notes, in whole or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest
on the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. The principal amount of the Notes called for redemption shall become due on the Redemption Date. 

The Company will give written notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder
at each such Holder’s address shown in the Debt Security Register for the Notes (or, as to Notes that are represented by a Global Debt Security, electronically in accordance with the Depository’s procedures). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, notice of any redemption to the Holders of the Notes may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of
redemption will describe each such condition and, if applicable, will state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may
not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. If fewer than all of the Notes that are not represented
by a Global Debt Security are (or if less than all of the principal amount of Notes represented by a Global Debt Security is) to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or
portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. 

  
 2 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest payable on the principal amount of Notes
being redeemed that are due and payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on a Redemption Date shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to
this Note and the Indenture. 
 For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as
having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any
Redemption Date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer
than three (3) such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities
LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers (as defined below)) and their respective successors, and two (2) other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the
foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption
Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment
Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate
will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined below)
occurs, unless the Company has exercised the right to redeem all of the Notes as described above by giving irrevocable notice of redemption on or prior to the 30th day after the date on which such Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, each
Holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the Company’s offer described below, at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due and owing on the
relevant Interest Payment Date. 

  
 3 








 Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option,
prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will give written notice to each Holder at each such Holder’s address
shown in the Debt Security Register for the Notes (or, as to Notes that are represented by a Global Debt Security, electronically in accordance with the Depository’s procedures), 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 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 on which such notice is given or, if the notice is given prior to the Change of Control, at least 30 days, but no more than 60 days, from the date on which the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, other than as may be required by law. The
notice, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the offer to repurchase the Notes is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the
notice. 
 The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act (as
defined below) and any other securities laws and regulations under the Exchange Act 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 these Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached
the Company’s obligations under these Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions by virtue of such compliance. 
 On the Change of
Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (1) accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer; (2) deposit or
cause a third party to deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly
accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased. 
 The Company will
not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes 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 repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such third party’s offer. 
 For purposes of this
Note, the following definitions are applicable: 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes
cease to be rated Investment Grade (as defined below) by at least two of the three Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date within the 60-day period after the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a
Change of Control and (ii) the first public announcement by the Company (including, without limitation, any filing or report made in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any press release or public
announcement made by the Company, the “Public Notice”) of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended for so long as any of the Rating
Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible downgrade of the rating of the Notes); 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 of 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) 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 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, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the
following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation or as a pledge for security purposes only), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company and/or one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries, other than any such transaction or series of related
transactions where holders of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior thereto hold Voting Stock of the transferee person representing a majority of the voting power of the transferee person’s Voting Stock immediately after
giving effect thereto; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules
13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Stock (as defined below) or other Voting
Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (3) the approval by the holders of the Company’s common stock of any plan or
proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding
company and (2)(a) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that
transaction or (b) immediately following that transaction, no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of
both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Change of Control Repurchase Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until
such Change of Control has actually been consummated. 
 “Exchange Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Inc. and its successors. 

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

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its
successors. 
 “Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; and (2) if any
of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or, in each case, any replacement thereof appointed pursuant to this definition) ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control,
a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Company as a replacement agency for Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch, as the case may be; provided that the
Company shall give notice of any such replacement to the Trustee. 

  
 5 








 “S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P
Global Inc., and its successors. 
 “Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person”
(as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, 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. 

The Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase the Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision. 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared, or
shall become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 With the consent of the Holders of greater
than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any indentures supplemental thereto or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall (a) without the consent of each Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby, extend the fixed maturity of the Notes, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or any premium thereon, or make the principal thereof or interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided herein, or (b) without the consent of the Holders of all of the Outstanding Notes
affected, reduce the percentage of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent (i) to any such supplemental indenture, (ii) to rescind and annul a declaration that the Notes are due and payable as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, (iii) to waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences and (iv) to waive compliance with certain other provisions contained in the Indenture. 

The Company and the Trustee may also enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture without the consent of the Holders
for limited purposes specified in the Indenture. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on
behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes. 

Holders of Notes may not enforce their rights pursuant to the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. 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) and interest on this Note at the times, place
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of
U.S.$2,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes that are of other
authorized denominations. 
 Notes to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose,
and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Notes which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note at any such
office or agency, the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall 

  
 6 








 
authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note for an equal aggregate principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Note by the Debt Security
Registrar (initially, U.S. Bank National Association) in the registry books maintained by such Debt Security Registrar in The City of New York, New York, and delivery of such Note, duly authenticated, shall be deemed to complete the registration or
registration of transfer of such Note. 
 No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Prior to due presentment of a 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 a Note is registered as the owner for all purposes whether or not such Note be overdue and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits
with the Trustee money or eligible instruments sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all of the Notes, as described in the Indenture. 

This Note is in the form of a Global Debt Security as provided in the Indenture. If at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for this Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a
successor Depository with respect to this Note. If a successor Depository for this Note is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will issue Notes in
definitive form in exchange for the Global Debt Security representing Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note in exchange for this Note. 

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture, any supplemental indenture, or of any Note, or for any claim
based thereon or hereon, or otherwise in respect thereof or hereof, as the case may be, shall be had against any incorporator, organizer, member, owner, manager, employee, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the
Company or any Subsidiary or of any predecessor or successor Person, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liabilities being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 The
Notes are subject to defeasance, at the option of the Company, as provided in the Indenture. 
 All terms used in this Note which are not
defined herein, but which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, as modified by that certain Officers’ Certificate dated contemporaneously herewith pursuant to which this Note was established.
