 NEWELL BRANDS INC. 

5% Senior Notes due November 15, 2023 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its 5% Senior Notes due 2023 (Securities of such
series being hereinafter called the “Securities”), limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $295,122,000, issued under the indenture dated as of November 19, 2014 (hereinafter called the “Indenture”), between the
Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Securities of this series), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and any Holder of the Securities, and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 

In addition to the rights provided to Holders of the Securities under the Indenture, Holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) shall have all rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to receive Additional Interest pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement in certain circumstances. If applicable, Additional
Interest payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be paid to the same Persons, in the same manner and at the same times as regular interest. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, this Security will be issued in global form only, registered in the name of the Depositary or
its nominee. This Security will not be issued in definitive form, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, and ownership of this Security shall be maintained in book-entry form by the Depositary for the accounts of participating organizations
of the Depositary. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed. 

Optional Redemption 
 At any time prior to
November 15, 2018, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which includes additional Securities, if any) issued under the Indenture (any such date of redemption, the
“Redemption Date”) upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date
(subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in an amount not to exceed the net proceeds from an Equity Offering (as defined below) by the Company;
provided that: 
 (1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities (which includes additional Securities, if any)
issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 
 (2) each such redemption occurs
within 90 days after the date of closing of the related Equity Offering. 

  
 5 








 At any time prior to November 15, 2018, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem
all or a part of the Securities, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium (as defined below) as of, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

On or after November 15, 2018, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Securities, upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities redeemed, to the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date: 

 

					
	 Year
	  	Percentage	 
		
	 2018
	  	 	103.750	% 
	 2019
	  	 	102.500	% 
	 2020
	  	 	101.250	% 
	 2021 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities, or any portion of the
Securities, called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the Securities to be redeemed on such date. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Depositary or, if the Securities are not
represented by a global security, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
installments of interest on Securities 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 Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date.
Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. The Securities will be redeemed in
increments of $1,000. No Securities having principal of less than the Minimum Denomination shall be redeemed in part. 

  
 6 








 “Applicable Premium” means with respect to any Securities on any Redemption Date, the
greater of (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Securities or (2), the excess, if any, of (a) the present value at such Redemption Date of (i) the redemption price of the Securities on November 15, 2018, plus (ii) all
required interest payments due on such Securities through November 15, 2018 (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate at such Redemption Date, plus 50 basis points,
over (b) the principal amount of such Securities. 
 “Equity Offering” means any offering of shares, interests, participation
or other equivalents (however designated and whether or not voting) of corporate stock, including each class of common stock and preferred stock (collectively, “Capital Stock”), of the Company that is not Disqualified Capital Stock. 

“Disqualified Capital Stock” means, with respect to any Person, any Capital Stock which by its terms (or by the terms of any
security into which it is convertible or for which it is exchangeable at the option of the holder) or upon the happening of any event: 
  

	 	(1)	matures or is mandatorily redeemable (other than redeemable only for Capital Stock of such Person which is not itself Disqualified Stock) pursuant to a sinking fund obligation or otherwise; 


 

	 	(2)	is convertible or exchangeable at the option of the holder for indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock; or 

  

	 	(3)	is mandatorily redeemable or must be purchased upon the occurrence of certain events or otherwise, in whole or in part; 


in each case, on or prior to the final maturity date of the Securities; provided, however, that any Capital Stock that would not constitute Disqualified
Capital Stock but for provisions thereof giving holders thereof the right to require such Person to purchase or redeem such Capital Stock upon the occurrence of an “asset sale” or “change of control” occurring prior to the final
maturity date of the Securities shall not constitute Disqualified Capital Stock if: (1) the “asset sale” or “change of control” provisions applicable to such Capital Stock are not more favorable to the holders of such
Capital Stock than the terms applicable to the Securities and described under “Change of Control” and (2) any such requirement only becomes operative after compliance with such terms applicable to the Securities, including the
purchase of any Securities tendered pursuant thereto. 
 The amount of any Disqualified Capital Stock that does not have a fixed redemption,
repayment or repurchase price will be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Disqualified Capital Stock as if such Disqualified Capital Stock were redeemed, repaid or repurchased on any date on which the amount of such Disqualified Stock is
to be determined pursuant to the Indenture; provided, however, that if such Disqualified Capital Stock could not be required to be redeemed, repaid or repurchased at the time of such determination, the redemption, repayment or repurchase price will
be the book value of such Disqualified Capital Stock as reflected in the most recent internal financial statements of such Person. 

  
 7 








 “Treasury Rate” means, at the time of computation, the yield to maturity of United
States Treasury Securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) which has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the Redemption Date or, if such
Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to November 15, 2018; provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption Date to
November 15, 2018 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury Security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a
year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury Securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to November 15, 2018 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually
traded United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 
 Change of Control 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Securities, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the
Securities through an optional redemption or redeem the Securities as described above by mailing notice of such redemption to the Holders of the Securities being redeemed, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control
Offer”) to each Holder of Securities to repurchase all of that Holder’s Securities or any part of that Holder’s Securities such that the principal amount that remains Outstanding of any Security not repurchased in full equals $2,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). 
 Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be mailed to Holders of the
Securities describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities 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 (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the
Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 In order to accept the Change of Control
Offer, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, at least three Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, this Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed hereto) duly completed, or a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth: 

 

	 	(i)	the name of the Holder of this Security; 


  
 8 









	 	(ii)	the principal amount of this Security; 

  

	 	(iii)	the principal amount of this Security to be repurchased; 

  

	 	(iv)	the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this Security; 

  

	 	(v)	a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and 

  

	 	(vi)	a guarantee that this Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent at least three Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.


 Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be
accepted for less than the entire principal amount of this Security, but in that event the principal amount of this Security remaining outstanding after repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Upon the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (a) accept for payment all Securities or portions of
Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (b) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of the Securities properly
tendered; and (c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being repurchased.

 The Company 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 an offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition,
the Company will not repurchase any Securities 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. 
 The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (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 Securities 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 Offer provisions contained herein, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions contained herein by virtue of any such conflict.

 For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions, the following terms will be applicable:

 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any
person, other than the Company 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 (as defined in
Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or
changed measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a
transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the
Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving
person, immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption of a plan relating to the
Company’s liquidation or dissolution. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control
under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that
transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of
this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act. 
 “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event. 

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was
a member of such Board of Directors on the date the Securities were issued or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed 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, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to
such nomination). 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Inc., and its successors. 

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch, a rating equal to or higher than
Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and a rating equal to or higher than the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement Rating Agency or Rating
Agencies selected by the Company. 

  
 10 








 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors. 

“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P
ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule
15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 

“Rating Event” means, that on any day during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first
public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for
so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change), the Securities cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the three Rating Agencies. Unless at least two of the three
Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Securities at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Securities will be deemed to have ceased to have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the three Rating Agencies during that Trigger
Period. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and
its successors. 
 “Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. 

Transfer, Denominations, Exchange 
 As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Security may be registered for transfer on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in the Place of Payment, and at such other locations as the Company may from time to time designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities without coupons in the minimum
denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (the “Minimum Denomination”). As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 11 








 No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Persons Deemed Owners 

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security, the Company, the
Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any one thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Additional Securities 

The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered Holders of the Securities, create and issue further
Securities ranking equally and ratably with the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further Securities or except for the first payment of interest following the
issue date of such further Securities), so that such further Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities. 

Defaults and Remedies 
 If an Event of
Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Securities shall occur, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company with respect to the Securities and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not a notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based
hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof,
expressly waived and released. 

  
 12

The Company at its option, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Indenture, (a) will be discharged from any and all
obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain obligations to register the transfer and exchange of such Securities, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, to compensate, reimburse and indemnify the Trustee, to
