 The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes
any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                     MILLION DOLLARS ($            ,000,000) on the Stated
Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Stated Maturity Date), and to pay interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date or
Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified above, if any, and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions set forth below, depending upon the Base Rate specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for
payment. The Company will pay interest on the Interest Payment Dates specified above, commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Stated Maturity Date (or the Optional
Redemption Date or any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date specified above, if any, in each case, with respect to which such option has been exercised, each such Stated Maturity Date, Optional Redemption Date and Holder’s Optional Repayment
Date being hereinafter referred to as a “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date); provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Regular Record Date, as defined below, and the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date, to the registered Holder of this Note on the Regular Record Date with
respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date that occurs on any Maturity Date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined
below, such Interest Payment Date shall be the next day that is a Business Day, except in the case that the Base Rate is LIBOR, if such next Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the next
preceding day that is a Business Day. If any Maturity Date of this Note should fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, due on such date shall be made on the next day that is a Business Day and
no additional interest on such amounts shall accrue from and after such Maturity Date. Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued from the Original Issue Date specified above, or the most recent date for
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the case of Notes that reset daily or weekly, interest payments on
each Interest Payment Date will be the amount of interest accrued from but excluding the Regular Record Date through which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the Original Issue Date specified above if no


  
 -3- 








 
interest has been paid or duly provided for) to and including the Regular Record Date next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, except that the interest payment due on the Maturity
Date will include interest accrued to but excluding such date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one
or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to an Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (the “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest
payable at the Maturity Date will be payable to the Person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and
may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall
be given to the Holder of this Note and the Trustee not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest due on this Note will be made in immediately available funds at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that payment of interest on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date may be made at the option of the Company (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register and (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may be designed by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register in writing not less than 10 days
prior to the date of the interest payment; and provided, further that payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. A Holder of not less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes having the same Interest
Payment Dates may by written notice to the Paying and Authenticating Agent and Security Registrar (referred to below) at its principal corporate trust office in The City of New York (or at such other address as the Company shall give notice in
writing), on or before the Regular Record Date preceding an Interest Payment Date, arrange to have the interest payable on all Notes held by such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, and all subsequent Interest Payment Dates until written notice to
the contrary is given to the Paying and Authenticating Agent and Security Registrar, made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a designated account maintained at a bank in The City of New York (or other bank consented to by the
Company) as the Holder of such Notes shall have designated; provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor. 
 This Note is one
of a duly authorized series of securities of the Company (hereinafter called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of February 9, 2016 (herein called the “Indenture”)
between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Medium-Term Notes Series I (the “Notes”) and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to
be, authenticated and delivered. The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its principal corporate trust office is the initial Paying Agent for the payment of interest and principal of the Notes; The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its
principal corporate trust office is the Authenticating Agent for the Notes; and The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its principal corporate trust office is the Security Register for the Notes (the “Paying and Authenticating Agent and
Security Registrar”). The Notes may bear different Original Issue Dates, mature at different times, bear interest at different rates and vary in such other ways as are provided in the Indenture. 

  
 -4- 








 This Note is not subject to any sinking fund. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note and/or
(b) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. At the election of the Company, these provisions shall apply to
this Note. 
 This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder on the Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any,
indicated above. If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Dates are set forth above, this Note may not be so repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date. On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note shall be
repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be at least $1,000) at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with
interest thereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed, by
the Paying and Authenticating Agent and Security Registrar at the principal corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon in The City of New York, or such other address which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holder of this
Note, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. 

This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company on the Optional Redemption Date, if any, specified above. If no Optional Redemption
Date is set forth above, this Note may not be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date. On the Optional Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Company at the
Redemption Price set forth above together with interest thereon payable to the Optional Redemption Date, on notice given to the Holder not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Optional Redemption Date. 

Notices to the Holder of this Note with respect to redemption as provided above will be delivered to the Holder’s address listed in the
Security Register maintained by the Security Registrar not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or this Note to the contrary, such notice shall be sufficiently given if
given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to its Applicable Procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued
interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the Original Issue Date or from but excluding the last date for which interest shall have been paid, as the case may be, to the date for which accrued
interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 or, in the case of Notes having the Treasury Rate or CMT Rate as their Base Rate, by the actual number
of days in the year. 
 Except as described below, this Note will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the Base Rate
specified above (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, specified above and/or (ii) multiplied by 

  
 -5- 








 
the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified above. The interest rate in effect on each day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date specified above, the interest rate with respect to
the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Rate Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the next preceding
Interest Reset Date, subject to the Maximum or Minimum Interest Rate specified above, if any, provided that the interest rate in effect from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate; provided
further that the Notes will not reset after the Fixed Rate Commencement Date, if any. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business
Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Rate Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If a treasury bill auction will be held on a
day that would otherwise be an Interest Reset Date with respect to the Treasury Rate, then such Interest Reset Date shall be the Business Day following such auction date. 

The Interest Determination Date with respect to the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the Business Day preceding the Interest
Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date with respect to the Commercial Paper Rate and the CMT Rate will be the second Business Day preceding the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date with respect to LIBOR shall be the second
London Banking Day (as defined below) preceding an Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the applicable
Interest Reset Date in which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco publishes the Index (as hereinafter defined). The Interest Determination Date with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Rate Reset
Date falls on which Treasury bills of the Index Maturity specified above normally would be auctioned; provided, however, that if as a result of a legal holiday an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the Interest Rate
Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday. The Interest Determination Date with respect to a Note the interest rate of which is determined by two or more Interest Rate Bases shall be the second Business Day
next preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Base Rate is determinable. Each Base Rate shall be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate will take effect on the applicable Interest Reset Date. 

The “Calculation Date” pertaining to any Interest Determination Date shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after
such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be. 

All percentages resulting from any calculation on the Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on the Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). 

As used herein, “Business Day” means with respect to Notes denominated in U.S. dollars, (i) any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday, legal holiday or other day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close; provided that in the case where the Base Rate is LIBOR, such day is also a London
Banking Day. “London Banking Day” means a day on which dealings in the applicable LIBOR currency are transacted in the London interbank market. For Notes having a specified currency other than U.S. dollars (other than Notes denominated in
Euros), “Business Day” means any day that, in the Principal Financial Center (as

defined below) of the country of the specified currency, is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law to close; and for Notes denominated in Euros, a

 The interest rate that will become
effective on each subsequent Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent (calculated with reference to the Base Rate or Rates and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any) as follows (such determination, in the absence of
manifest error, to be binding upon all parties).

Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding to be affected under the Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

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

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

As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the
Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and premium, if any, on and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or

of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

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

  
 -15- 








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

The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements
made and to be performed in such State. 
 Under the Indenture, the Company, the Trustee and the holder of the Note waive, to the fullest

defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 Except to the extent specified in this Note pursuant
to Section 301 of the Indenture, in the event of any inconsistency between the Indenture and this Note, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern. 

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent under the Indenture by the manual signature of
