 ANNEX A 

Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between McKesson Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the terms of a series of securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Designation. The designation of the securities is “0.625% Notes due 2021” (the “2021 Notes”). 

  

	 	2.	Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2021 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to €600,000,000 (except for 2021 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of,
or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2021 Notes pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Indenture). 

  

	 	3.	Currency Denomination. The 2021 Notes shall be denominated in euro. 

  

	 	4.	Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2021 Notes is payable is August 17, 2021. 

  

	 	5.	Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2021 Note shall bear interest from February 17, 2017 at 0.625% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be
payable annually in arrears on August 17 of each year, commencing on August 17, 2017, to the persons in whose names the 2021 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding August 3. Interest on the 2021 Notes
shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from February 17, 2017. Interest on the 2021 Notes shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which
interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the 2021 Notes (or February 17, 2017, if no interest has been paid on the 2021 Notes), to, but excluding, the next
scheduled interest payment date. This payment convention is referred to as “Actual/Actual (ICMA)” as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any,
or interest is payable on the 2021 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding date that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other
payment in respect of any such delay). For the purposes of the 2021 Notes, “Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York City, London or another place of payment on the 2021
Notes is authorized or required by law to close and on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System (the “TARGET2 System”), or any successor thereto, is open. 


  
 A-1 








	 	6.	Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2021 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2021 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained
for such purpose in Minneapolis, Minnesota, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2021 Notes register; provided, however,
that while any 2021 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2021 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. 


 

	 	7.	Optional Redemption. The 2021 Notes may be redeemed (a) prior to July 17, 2021 (the “Par Call Date”) in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for
cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount, or (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal, premium,
if any, and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (Actual/Actual ICMA) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 20
basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including the date of redemption, (b) on or after the Par Call Date, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date or (c) at the Issuer’s option in whole, but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount, together
with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein having power to tax), or any change in official position regarding application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or
interpretation is announced and becomes effective on or after the February 17, 2017, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Issuer, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described
in Section 16 hereof and that obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion acting in good faith; provided that, in each case, after the principal
amount of any 2021 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be €100,000 or a higher integral multiple of €1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2021 Notes that are due and payable on interest
payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed will receive notice
thereof mailed (or, in the case of 2021 Notes held in book-entry form, transmitted electronically) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2021 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2021 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2021 Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the
standard procedures of the Depositary. If the 2021 Notes to be redeemed are not Registered Global Securities then held by the Depositary, the Trustee will select the 2021 Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. If the 2021 Notes are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, the Trustee will select 2021 Notes in compliance with the requirements of the NYSE or other national securities
exchange on which the 2021 Notes are listed. 


  
 A-2 







 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate
calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar
bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for
determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 
 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage
(rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption,
would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined
by an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer. 
  

	 	8.	Change of Control. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2021 Notes in whole as described above, Holders of the 2021
Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of €1,000 original principal amount) of their 2021 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”);
provided that the principal amount of any 2021 Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be €100,000 or a higher integral multiple of €1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer
payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2021 Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of
Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the 2021 Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2021 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2021 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by
virtue of such conflicts. 


  
 A-3 







 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2021 Notes held in book-entry form,
transmit electronically) to each Holder of the 2021 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2021 Note equal in
principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2021 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2021 Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all 2021 Notes properly tendered and
not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any 2021 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all 2021 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., London time, an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2021 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Trustee the 2021 Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes or portions of 2021 Notes being repurchased.

Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day

downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct
or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken

directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Issuer’s voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company
immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuer’s voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

the case may be or (y) each of the remaining agencies, as the case may be, and any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Issuer (as
certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be.

settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the 2021 Notes will be made in Dollars until the euro is again available to the Issuer or so used. In such
circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment
date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day
prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Issuer’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange
rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of 2021 Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the paying agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the
foregoing.

proceedings for review or for which the time to make an appeal has not yet expired; or final unappealable judgment liens which are satisfied within 15 days of the date of judgment; or liens incurred by the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary for
the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge in the course of any litigation or other proceeding to which the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary is a party; (j) liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet due or
delinquent, or which can thereafter be paid without penalty, or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; landlord’s liens on property held under lease; and any other liens or charges incidental to the conduct of the
business of the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary or the ownership of the assets of any of them which were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit and which do not, in the opinion of the
Issuer, materially impair the use of such assets in the operation of the business of the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary or the value of such assets for the purposes thereof; (k) liens relating to accounts receivable of the Issuer or any
of its Subsidiaries which have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to another Person in a transaction classified as a sale of accounts receivable in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

Subsidiaries (including Receivables Subsidiaries) incurred in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction. Notwithstanding the above, the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary may, without securing the 2021 Notes, create or assume any
Indebtedness which is secured by a lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, provided that at the time of such creation or assumption, after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 10% of the total

expressly permitted by the covenant with respect to “Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions” above.

“Indebtedness” shall mean all items classified as indebtedness on the most recently available consolidated balance sheet of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the

 McKESSON CORPORATION 

0.625% NOTES DUE AUGUST 17, 2021 

McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to USB Nominees (UK) Limited, or registered assigns, the principal sum of Six Hundred Million euros (€600,000,000) on August 17, 2021 and to pay interest on said
principal sum from February 17, 2017, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on August 17 (the “Interest Payment Date”) of each year commencing on
August 17, 2017, at the rate of 0.625% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable. 






 The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on this Note (or February 17, 2017, if no interest has been paid on this Note),
to, but excluding, the next scheduled interest payment date. In the event that any date on which the principal or interest payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture (referred to on the reverse hereof) be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the immediately preceding
August 3 prior to such Interest Payment Date, as applicable. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such record date and may be paid to the person
in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest), notice whereof shall be given by mail by or on
behalf of the Issuer to the registered Holders of Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency
of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in euro (except as otherwise provided in this Note); provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at such
address as shall appear in the registry books of the Issuer; provided, further, that for so long as this Note is represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on this Note may be made
by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. If the euro is unavailable to the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by
the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the
Notes will be made in Dollars until the euro is again available to the Issuer or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/euro
exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in
the Issuer’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. For the purposes of the Notes,
“Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York City, London or another place of payment on the Notes is authorized or required by law to close and on which the Trans-European
Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System (the “TARGET2 System”), or any successor thereto, is open. 
 Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee (as defined below) under the Indenture (as defined below), by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 Capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse
side hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities (the “Securities”) of the Issuer designated as its 0.625% Notes due
August 17, 2021 (the “Notes”). The Securities are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms of individual series of Securities may vary with respect to interest rate or interest rate formulas, issue
dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise. 
 The Notes are issuable only as Registered Securities in
minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. 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 as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable and is not entitled to the
benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision. 
 The Notes may be redeemed (a) prior to July 17, 2021 (the “Par Call
Date”) in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount or (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent,
equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of
redemption on an annual basis at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including the date of redemption, (b) on or after the Par Call Date, in whole, at any
time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date or (c) at the Issuer’s
option in whole, but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or rulings of the
United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax), or any change in official position regarding application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court
of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation is announced and becomes effective on or after February 17, 2017, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the
Issuer, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts and that obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion acting in good faith. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the
relevant record date. Holders of the Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof mailed (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmitted electronically) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, no Notes of a
principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the standard procedures of the Depositary. If the Notes to be
redeemed are not Registered Global Securities then held by the Depositary, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. If the Notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other
national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, the Trustee will select Notes in compliance with the requirements of the NYSE or other national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed. As used in this paragraph, the term
“United States” means the United States of America, its territories and possessions, the states of the United States and the District of Columbia. 

  
 A-1-4 







 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate
calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar
bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for
determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 
 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage
(rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would
be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an
independent investment bank selected by the Issuer. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer
has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of €1,000 original principal amount) of
their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”); provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be €100,000 or a higher integral multiple of
€1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the Notes describing
the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder 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 Triggering Event. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 

  
 A-1-5 







 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmit
electronically) to each Holder of the Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to
any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change
of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the
extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., London time, an amount equal to the Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal
amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below
an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the
60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under
publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 “Change of Control” means the
occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (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, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Issuer’s voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the
Issuer’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and
(ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuer’s voting stock immediately prior to that transaction.

Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Issuer’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a
director, without objection to such nomination).

may be or (y) at the Issuer’s election, each of the remaining agencies, as the case may be, and any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected

therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (4) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed
otherwise than by withholding by the Issuer or a paying agent from the payment; (5) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if

excise tax imposed on the transfer of a Note; (7) to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a
date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or Holder thereof would have been entitled to
the payment of Additional Amounts had such Note been presented for payment on any day during such 30-day period; to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under sections 1471 through 1474 of
the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices
adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, whether currently in effect or as published and amended from time to time; or (9) in the case of any

 This Note is subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative
or judicial interpretation applicable hereto. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture
contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, of all series issued under
such Indenture then outstanding and affected (each voting as one class), to add any provisions to, or change in any manner, eliminate or waive any of the provisions of, such Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the
Securities or Coupons so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee, may not, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of the principal of any Security or
reduce the principal amount thereof or premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (other
than as otherwise may be provided with respect to such series), premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable or reduce the amount of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security that is payable upon acceleration or provable in
bankruptcy, or in the case of Subordinated Securities of any series, modify any of the subordination provisions or the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” relating to such series in a manner adverse to the holders of such Subordinated
Securities, or alter certain provisions of the Indenture relating to Securities not denominated in Dollars or the Judgment Currency of such Securities or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment thereof when due or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of Securities of any series issued under the Indenture, the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such modification. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of each such series, each such series voting as a separate class (or, of all Securities, as the case may be voting as a single class) may under certain circumstances waive all defaults with respect to
each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul a declaration of default and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or
shall impair any right consequent thereto. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities. 

  
 A-1-9 







 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall

amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

 ANNEX B 

Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between McKesson Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the terms of a series of securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Designation. The designation of the securities is “1.500% Notes due 2025” (the “2025 Notes”). 

  

	 	2.	Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2025 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to €600,000,000 (except for 2025 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of,
or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2025 Notes pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Indenture). 

  

	 	3.	Currency Denomination. The 2025 Notes shall be denominated in euro. 

  

	 	4.	Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2025 Notes is payable is November 17, 2025. 

  

	 	5.	Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2025 Note shall bear interest from February 17, 2017 at 1.500% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be
payable annually in arrears on November 17 of each year, commencing on November 17, 2017, to the persons in whose names the 2025 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding November 3. Interest on the 2025
Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from February 17, 2017. Interest on the 2025 Notes shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for
which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the 2025 Notes (or February 17, 2017, if no interest has been paid on the 2025 Notes), to, but excluding, the next
scheduled interest payment date. This payment convention is referred to as “Actual/Actual (ICMA)” as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any,
or interest is payable on the 2025 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding date that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other
payment in respect of any such delay). For the purposes of the 2025 Notes, “Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York City, London or another place of payment on the 2025
Notes is authorized or required by law to close and on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System (the “TARGET2 System”), or any successor thereto, is open. 


  
 B-1 








	 	6.	Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2025 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2025 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained
for such purpose in Minneapolis, Minnesota, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2025 Notes register; provided, however,
that while any 2025 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2025 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. 


 

	 	7.	Optional Redemption. The 2025 Notes may be redeemed (a) prior to August 17, 2025 (the “Par Call Date”) in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for
cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount, or (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal, premium,
if any, and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (Actual/Actual ICMA) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 25
basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including the date of redemption, (b) on or after the Par Call Date, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date or (c) at the Issuer’s option in whole, but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount, together
with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein having power to tax), or any change in official position regarding application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or
interpretation is announced and becomes effective on or after the February 17, 2017, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Issuer, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described
in Section 16 hereof and that obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion acting in good faith; provided that, in each case, after the principal
amount of any 2025 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be €100,000 or a higher integral multiple of €1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2025 Notes that are due and payable on interest
payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed will receive notice
thereof mailed (or, in the case of 2025 Notes held in book-entry form, transmitted electronically) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2025 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2025 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2025 Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the
standard procedures of the Depositary. If the 2025 Notes to be redeemed are not Registered Global Securities then held by the Depositary, the Trustee will select the 2025 Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. If the 2025 Notes are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, the Trustee will select 2025 Notes in compliance with the requirements of the NYSE or other national securities
exchange on which the 2025 Notes are listed. 


  
 B-2 







 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate
calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar
bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for
determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 
 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage
(rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption,
would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined
by an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer. 
  

	 	8.	Change of Control. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2025 Notes in whole as described above, Holders of the 2025
Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of €1,000 original principal amount) of their 2025 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”);
provided that the principal amount of any 2025 Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be €100,000 or a higher integral multiple of €1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer
payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2025 Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of
Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the 2025 Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2025 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2025 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by
virtue of such conflicts. 


  
 B-3 







 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2025 Notes held in book-entry form,
transmit electronically) to each Holder of the 2025 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2025 Note equal in
principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2025 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2025 Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all 2025 Notes properly tendered and
not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any 2025 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all 2025 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., London time, an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2025 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Trustee the 2025 Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes or portions of 2025 Notes being repurchased. 

  
 B-4 







 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the 2025 Notes are rated below an
Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day
period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the 2025 Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible
downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct
or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole to any Person other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (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,
directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Issuer’s voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company
immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuer’s voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer who
(1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of original issue of the 2025 Notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were
members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Issuer’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to
such nomination). 

  
 B-5 







 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Inc., a subsidiary of Hearst Corporation and Fimalac, S.A.

S&P ceases to rate the 2025 Notes or fails to make a rating of the 2025 Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Issuer’s reasonable control, then, at the Issuer’s election, either (x) each of the remaining agencies, as
the case may be or (y) each of the remaining agencies, as the case may be, and any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Issuer (as
certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

 B-6 








	 	12.	Payment Currency. All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of 2025 Notes, will be made in euro; provided that if the euro is unavailable to the Issuer due
to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the
settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the 2025 Notes will be made in Dollars until the euro is again available to the Issuer or so used. In such
circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment
date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day
prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Issuer’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange
rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of 2025 Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the paying agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the
foregoing. 

  

	 	13.	Payment Currency—Election. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12 hereof, the principal of and interest on the 2025 Notes shall not be payable in a currency other than euro.

 B-7 








	 	16.	Additional Amounts. All payments of principal, interest, and premium, if any, in respect of the 2025 Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any present or future taxes,
assessments, duties or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied or collected by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax), unless such withholding or deduction is
required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof. Subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, the Issuer will pay as additional interest in respect of the 2025 Notes such additional amounts as are necessary in
order that the net payment by the Issuer of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (collectively, “Additional Amounts”) in respect of the 2025 Notes to a Holder who is not a United States person (as defined below), after
withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment, duties or other governmental charge imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax), will not be less than the
amount provided in the 2025 Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply: (1) to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been
imposed but for the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such 2025 Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a
person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary Holder, being considered as (a) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United
States, (b) having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of 2025 Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights hereunder), including being
or having been a citizen or resident of the United States, (c) being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a corporation that
has accumulated earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, (d) being or having been a “10-percent shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue

described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor provision; (2) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of 2025 Notes, or a portion of 2025 Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other
fiscally transparent entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other
fiscally transparent entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; (3) to the extent
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of 2025 Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty
to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (4) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Issuer or
a paying agent from the payment; (5) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any 2025 Notes, if such payment can be made without such
withholding by any other paying agent; (6) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge, or excise tax imposed on the transfer of 2025
Notes; (7) to the extent any tax, assessment or other governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any 2025 Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the
date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or Holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts
had such 2025 Note been presented for payment on any day during such 30-day period; to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or
successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any
intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, whether currently in effect or as published and amended from time to time; or (9) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2),

(e) liens on any assets of the Issuer or a Consolidated Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any state thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State
thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any political subdivision thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of
financing all or any part of the purchase price (or, in the case of real property, the cost of construction) of the assets subject to such liens (including, but not limited to, liens incurred in connection with pollution control, industrial revenue
or similar financing); (f) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) to (e), inclusive; (g) liens imposed by law,
such as mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, materialmen’s, carriers’, warehousemen’s, vendors’ or other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business, or governmental (federal, state or municipal) liens

compensation laws or similar legislation and liens or judgments thereunder which are not currently dischargeable, or in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than for the payment of money) or leases to which the Issuer or any Consolidated
Subsidiary is a party, or to secure public or statutory obligations of the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary, or in connection with obtaining or maintaining self-insurance or to obtain the benefits of any law, regulation or arrangement
pertaining to unemployment insurance, old age pensions, social security or similar matters, or to secure surety, appeal or customs bonds to which the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary is a party, or in litigation or other proceedings such as,
but not limited to, interpleader proceedings, and other similar pledges, liens or deposits made or incurred in the ordinary course of business; (i) liens created by or resulting from any litigation or other proceeding which is being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings, including liens arising out of judgments or awards against the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary with respect to which the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary is in good faith prosecuting an appeal or
proceedings for review or for which the time to make an appeal has not yet expired; or final unappealable judgment liens which are satisfied within 15 days of the date of judgment; or liens incurred by the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary for
the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge in the course of any litigation or other proceeding to which the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary is a party; (j) liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet due or

business of the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary or the ownership of the assets of any of them which were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit and which do not, in the opinion of the
Issuer, materially impair the use of such assets in the operation of the business of the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary or the value of such assets for the purposes thereof; (k) liens relating to accounts receivable of the Issuer or any
of its Subsidiaries which have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to another Person in a transaction classified as a sale of accounts receivable in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

Subsidiaries (including Receivables Subsidiaries) incurred in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction. Notwithstanding the above, the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary may, without securing the 2025 Notes, create or assume any
Indebtedness which is secured by a lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, provided that at the time of such creation or assumption, after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 10% of the total
assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

  
 B-10 







 Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. The Issuer covenants that, so long as any
of the 2025 Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer will not, nor shall the Issuer permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, enter into any sale and lease-back transaction with respect to any assets, other than any sale and lease-back transaction
involving a lease for a term of not more than three years, unless either (a) the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a lien on the assets to be leased in an amount at least equal to the

Subsidiary enters into such sale and lease-back transaction, and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 10% of the total assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

United States of America.

reconstruction, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges. 
 The term “Qualified Receivables Transaction”
shall mean any transaction or series of transactions entered into by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries sells, conveys or otherwise transfers to (i) a Receivables Subsidiary (in the
case of a transfer by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) and (ii) any other Person (in the case of a transfer by a Receivables Subsidiary), or grants a security interest in, any accounts receivable (whether now existing or arising in the
future) or inventory of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, and any assets related thereto including, without limitation, all collateral securing such accounts receivable, all contracts and all guarantees or other obligations in respect of such
accounts receivable or inventory, proceeds of such accounts receivable and other assets which are customarily transferred or in respect of which security interests are customarily granted in connection with asset securitization transactions
involving accounts receivable or inventory. 

  
 B-12

 McKESSON CORPORATION 

1.500% NOTES DUE NOVEMBER 17, 2025 

McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to USB Nominees (UK) Limited, or registered assigns, the principal sum of Six Hundred Million euros (€600,000,000) on November 17, 2025 and to pay interest on said
principal sum from February 17, 2017, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on November 17 (the “Interest Payment Date”) of each year commencing on
November 17, 2017, at the rate of 1.500% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable. 

  
 B-1-1 







 The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on this Note (or February 17, 2017, if no interest has been paid on this Note),
to, but excluding, the next scheduled interest payment date. In the event that any date on which the principal or interest payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture (referred to on the reverse hereof) be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the immediately preceding
November 3 prior to such Interest Payment Date, as applicable. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such record date and may be paid to the
person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest), notice whereof shall be given by mail by or
on behalf of the Issuer to the registered Holders of Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or
agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in euro (except as otherwise provided in this Note); provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at
such address as shall appear in the registry books of the Issuer; provided, further, that for so long as this Note is represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on this Note may be
made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. If the euro is unavailable to the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control or if the euro is no longer being used
by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the
Notes will be made in Dollars until the euro is again available to the Issuer or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/euro
exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in
the Issuer’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the euro. Any payment in respect of Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. For the purposes of the Notes,
“Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York City, London or another place of payment on the Notes is authorized or required by law to close and on which the Trans-European
Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System (the “TARGET2 System”), or any successor thereto, is open. 
 Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee (as defined below) under the Indenture (as defined below), by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 Capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse
side hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities (the “Securities”) of the Issuer designated as its 1.500% Notes due
November 17, 2025 (the “Notes”). The Securities are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms of individual series of Securities may vary with respect to interest rate or interest rate formulas, issue
dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise. 
 The Notes are issuable only as Registered Securities in
minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. 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 as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable and is not entitled to the
benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision. 
 The Notes may be redeemed (a) prior to August 17, 2025 (the “Par
Call Date”) in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount or (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation
Agent, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date
of redemption on an annual basis at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including the date of redemption, (b) on or after the Par Call Date, in whole, at
any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date or (c) at the
Issuer’s option in whole, but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or
rulings of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax), or any change in official position regarding application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings (including a
holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation is announced and becomes effective on or after February 17, 2017, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel
selected by the Issuer, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts and that obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion acting in good faith.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of
business on the relevant record date. Holders of the Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof mailed (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmitted electronically) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed,
no Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the standard procedures of the Depositary. If the Notes
to be redeemed are not Registered Global Securities then held by the Depositary, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. If the Notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other
national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, the Trustee will select Notes in compliance with the requirements of the NYSE or other national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed. As used in this paragraph, the term
“United States” means the United States of America, its territories and possessions, the states of the United States and the District of Columbia. 

  
 B-1-4 







 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate
calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar
bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for
determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 
 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage
(rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would
be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an
independent investment bank selected by the Issuer. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer
has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of €1,000 original principal amount) of
their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”); provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be €100,000 or a higher integral multiple of
€1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the Notes describing
the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder 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 Triggering Event. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 

  
 B-1-5 







 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmit
electronically) to each Holder of the Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to
any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change
of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the
extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., London time, an amount equal to the Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal
amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below
an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the
60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under
publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

such Indenture then outstanding and affected (each voting as one class), to add any provisions to, or change in any manner, eliminate or waive any of the provisions of, such Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the
Securities or Coupons so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee, may not, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of the principal of any Security or
reduce the principal amount thereof or premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (other

bankruptcy, or in the case of Subordinated Securities of any series, modify any of the subordination provisions or the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” relating to such series in a manner adverse to the holders of such Subordinated
Securities, or alter certain provisions of the Indenture relating to Securities not denominated in Dollars or the Judgment Currency of such Securities or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any

each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul a declaration of default and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or
shall impair any right consequent thereto. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities. 

  
 B-1-9 







 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall

amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 ANNEX C 

Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between McKesson Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the terms of a series of securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Designation. The designation of the securities is “3.125% Notes due 2029” (the “2029 Notes”). 

  

	 	2.	Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2029 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to £450,000,000 (except for 2029 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of,
or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2029 Notes pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Indenture). 

  

	 	3.	Currency Denomination. The 2029 Notes shall be denominated in sterling. 

  

	 	4.	Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2029 Notes is payable is February 17, 2029. 

  

	 	5.	Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2029 Note shall bear interest from February 17, 2017 at 3.125% per annum until the principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be
payable annually in arrears on February 17 of each year, commencing on February 17, 2018, to the persons in whose names the 2029 Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding February 3. Interest on the 2029
Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been paid, from February 17, 2017. Interest on the 2029 Notes shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for
which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the 2029 Notes (or February 17, 2017, if no interest has been paid on the 2029 Notes), to, but excluding, the next
scheduled interest payment date. This payment convention is referred to as “Actual/Actual (ICMA)” as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any,
or interest is payable on the 2029 Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding date that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other
payment in respect of any such delay). For the purposes of the 2029 Notes, “Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York City, London or another place of payment on the 2029
Notes is authorized or required by law to close. 


  
 C-1 








	 	6.	Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2029 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2029 Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained
for such purpose in Minneapolis, Minnesota, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2029 Notes register; provided, however,
that while any 2029 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2029 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. 


 

	 	7.	Optional Redemption. The 2029 Notes may be redeemed (a) prior to November 17, 2028 (the “Par Call Date”) in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for
cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount, or (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal, premium,
if any, and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (Actual/Actual ICMA) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 20
basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including the date of redemption, (b) on or after the Par Call Date, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date or (c) at the Issuer’s option in whole, but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount, together
with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein having power to tax), or any change in official position regarding application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or
interpretation is announced and becomes effective on or after the February 17, 2017, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Issuer, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described
in Section 16 hereof and that obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion acting in good faith; provided that, in each case, after the principal
amount of any 2029 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be £100,000 or a higher integral multiple of £1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2029 Notes that are due and payable on
interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed will receive
notice thereof mailed (or, in the case of 2029 Notes held in book-entry form, transmitted electronically) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on
and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2029 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2029 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2029 Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the
standard procedures of the Depositary. If the 2029 Notes to be redeemed are not Registered Global Securities then held by the Depositary, the Trustee will select the 2029 Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. If the 2029 Notes are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, the Trustee will select 2029 Notes in compliance with the requirements of the NYSE or other national securities
exchange on which the 2029 Notes are listed. 


  
 C-2 







 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate
calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such
similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for
determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 
 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage
(rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption,
would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined
by an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer. 
  

	 	8.	Change of Control. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2029 Notes in whole as described above, Holders of the 2029
Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of £1,000 original principal amount) of their 2029 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”);
provided that the principal amount of any 2029 Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be £100,000 or a higher integral multiple of £1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer
payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2029 Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of
Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the 2029 Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2029 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2029 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by
virtue of such conflicts. 


  
 C-3 







 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of 2029 Notes held in book-entry form,
transmit electronically) to each Holder of the 2029 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2029 Note equal in
principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2029 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2029 Note will be in a principal amount of £100,000 or an integral multiple of £1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all 2029 Notes properly tendered and
not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any 2029 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control
Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all 2029 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., London time, an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2029 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Trustee the 2029 Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes or portions of 2029 Notes being repurchased.

Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day

downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company
immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuer’s voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

the case may be or (y) each of the remaining agencies, as the case may be, and any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Issuer (as
certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent
Dollar/sterling exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will
be determined in the Issuer’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for sterling. Any payment in respect of 2029 Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee
nor the paying agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. 


  
 C-6

fiscally transparent entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other
fiscally transparent entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; (3) to the extent

successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any
intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, whether currently in effect or as published and amended from time to time; or (9) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2),

(e) liens on any assets of the Issuer or a Consolidated Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any state thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State

or similar financing); (f) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) to (e), inclusive; (g) liens imposed by law,
such as mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, materialmen’s, carriers’, warehousemen’s, vendors’ or other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business, or governmental (federal, state or municipal) liens

in good faith by appropriate proceedings, including liens arising out of judgments or awards against the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary with respect to which the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary is in good faith prosecuting an appeal or
proceedings for review or for which the time to make an appeal has not yet expired; or final unappealable judgment liens which are satisfied within 15 days of the date of judgment; or liens incurred by the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary for
the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge in the course of any litigation or other proceeding to which the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary is a party; (j) liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet due or

business of the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary or the ownership of the assets of any of them which were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit and which do not, in the opinion of the
Issuer, materially impair the use of such assets in the operation of the business of the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary or the value of such assets for the purposes thereof; (k) liens relating to accounts receivable of the Issuer or any
of its Subsidiaries which have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to another Person in a transaction classified as a sale of accounts receivable in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

 McKESSON CORPORATION 

3.125% NOTES DUE FEBRUARY 17, 2029 

McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to USB Nominees (UK) Limited, or registered assigns, the principal sum of Four Hundred Fifty Million pounds sterling (£450,000,000) on February 17, 2029 and to pay
interest on said principal sum from February 17, 2017, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on February 17 (the “Interest Payment Date”) of each year
commencing on February 17, 2018, at the rate of 3.125% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable. 

  
 C-1-1 







 The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on this Note (or February 17, 2017, if no interest has been paid on this Note),
to, but excluding, the next scheduled interest payment date. In the event that any date on which the principal or interest payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture (referred to on the reverse hereof) be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the immediately preceding
February 3 prior to such Interest Payment Date, as applicable. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such record date and may be paid to the
person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest), notice whereof shall be given by mail by or
on behalf of the Issuer to the registered Holders of Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or
agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in sterling (except as otherwise provided in this Note); provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the person entitled
thereto at such address as shall appear in the registry books of the Issuer; provided, further, that for so long as this Note is represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on this
Note may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. If sterling is unavailable to the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuer’s control or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until sterling is again available to the Issuer or so used. In such circumstances, the amount
payable on any date in sterling will be converted into Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/sterling exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant
payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Issuer’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for sterling. Any
payment in respect of Notes so made in Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. For the purposes of the Notes, “Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York City,
London or another place of payment on the Notes is authorized or required by law to close. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication
hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee (as defined below) under the Indenture (as defined below), by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 Capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse side hereof and such continued
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities (the “Securities”) of the Issuer designated as its 3.125% Notes due
February 17, 2029 (the “Notes”). The Securities are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms of individual series of Securities may vary with respect to interest rate or interest rate formulas, issue
dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise. 
 The Notes are issuable only as Registered Securities in
minimum denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof. 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 as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable and is not entitled to the
benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision. 
 The Notes may be redeemed (a) prior November 17, 2028 (the “Par Call
Date”) in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount or (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent,
equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of
redemption on an annual basis at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including the date of redemption, (b) on or after the Par Call Date, in whole, at any
time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date or (c) at the Issuer’s
option in whole, but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or rulings of the
United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax), or any change in official position regarding application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court
of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation is announced and becomes effective on or after February 17, 2017, the Issuer becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the
Issuer, will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts and that obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion acting in good faith. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the
relevant record date. Holders of the Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof mailed (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmitted electronically) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, no Notes of a
principal amount of £100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the standard procedures of the Depositary. If the Notes to be
redeemed are not Registered Global Securities then held by the Depositary, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. If the Notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other
national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, the Trustee will select Notes in compliance with the requirements of the NYSE or other national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed. As used in this paragraph, the term
“United States” means the United States of America, its territories and possessions, the states of the United States and the District of Columbia. 

  
 C-1-4 







 “Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate
calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Issuer, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such
similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Issuer, determine to be appropriate for
determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 
 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage
(rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would
be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an
independent investment bank selected by the Issuer. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer
has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of £1,000 original principal amount) of
their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”); provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be £100,000 or a higher integral multiple of
£1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to Holders of the Notes describing
the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder 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 Triggering Event. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 

  
 C-1-5 







 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, transmit
electronically) to each Holder of the Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to
any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of £100,000 or an integral multiple of £1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change
of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the
extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., London time, an amount equal to the Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal
amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the

publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 “Change of Control” means the
occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (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, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Issuer’s voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the
Issuer’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and
(ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuer’s voting stock immediately prior to that transaction.

Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Issuer’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a
director, without objection to such nomination).

may be or (y) at the Issuer’s election, each of the remaining agencies, as the case may be, and any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected

therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (4) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed
otherwise than by withholding by the Issuer or a paying agent from the payment; (5) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if

 C-1-8 







 This Note is subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative
or judicial interpretation applicable hereto. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture
contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, of all series issued under
such Indenture then outstanding and affected (each voting as one class), to add any provisions to, or change in any manner, eliminate or waive any of the provisions of, such Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the
Securities or Coupons so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee, may not, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of the principal of any Security or
reduce the principal amount thereof or premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (other
than as otherwise may be provided with respect to such series), premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable or reduce the amount of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security that is payable upon acceleration or provable in
bankruptcy, or in the case of Subordinated Securities of any series, modify any of the subordination provisions or the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” relating to such series in a manner adverse to the holders of such Subordinated

consent of the holders of which is required for any such modification. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of each such series, each such series voting as a separate class (or, of all Securities, as the case may be voting as a single class) may under certain circumstances waive all defaults with respect to
each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul a declaration of default and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or
shall impair any right consequent thereto. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities. 

  
 C-1-9
