BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANY 

3.000% Notes due May 15, 2026 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (herein called the
“Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 1, 1997 (as amended or supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), duly executed and
delivered by the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities. The Securities may
be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any),
may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 3.000% Notes due May 15, 2026 (the “Notes”) limited in
aggregate principal amount to $                (except as in the Indenture provided) (the “Initial Notes”). The Company may, from time to time, without the
consent of the existing holders of the Notes, issue additional notes under the Indenture (the “Additional Notes”) having the same terms as the Initial Notes in all respects, except for issue date, issue price and the initial interest
payment date. Any such Additional Notes shall be consolidated with and form a single series with the Initial Notes. References herein to the “Notes” shall refer to the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes and Exchange Notes, of which
shall be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes (including voting) under the Indenture, unless otherwise indicated. Terms defined in the Indenture have the same definitions herein unless otherwise specified. 

The terms and provisions of Appendix A attached hereto shall apply to the Notes of this series. The Notes of this series shall be issued in
registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note of this series for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A attached hereto. 

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal
hereof and interest hereon may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions 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 and the rights of the holders of the Securities of any series at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series, each
affected series voting separately. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities 







 
of any series, on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf
of 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 hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. 
 Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company may elect either
(i) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the Notes or (ii) to be released from its obligations with respect to certain covenants applicable to the Notes, upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note. 
 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 interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency prescribed
herein. 
 The Notes are redeemable as a whole or in part at the option of the Company at any time prior to February 15, 2026, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes
(excluding the portion of interest that will be accrued and unpaid to and including the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption on the principal balance of the Notes being redeemed. The Notes are
also redeemable as a whole or in part at the option of the Company at any time on or after February 15, 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption on the principal balance of the Notes being redeemed. For the purposes hereof: 
 “Treasury Rate” means, for any
redemption date, the annual rate equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue equal to the Comparable Treasury Price, expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount, for such redemption date. The yield of the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be computed as of the second Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be
used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the applicable remaining term of the Notes being redeemed. 

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

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of the investment banks the Company may use to select a Comparable Treasury Issue including
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., its successors and, and any three other nationally recognized investment banking firms that the Company shall 







 
appoint from time to time that are primary dealers of U.S. government securities in New York City; provided, however, that if any of the firms ceases to be a primary dealer
of U.S. government securities in New York City, the Company shall appoint another nationally recognized investment banking firm as a substitute therefor. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
obtained by the Company for that redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest of those Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all those
quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average, as determined by the
Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by a Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third
Business Day preceding that redemption date. The Company shall seek Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations in respect of any redemption date from each of the then-existing Reference Treasury Dealers. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note being redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on that Note that would be due after the related redemption date but for the redemption; provided, however, that if the redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to that Note, the amount of the next
succeeding scheduled interest payment on that Note that would have been due shall be deemed reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Note to the redemption date. 

Notice of any redemption described above shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder
of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On and after any redemption date, the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption shall stop accruing interest. On or before any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the
paying agent or the Trustee money sufficient to pay the accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed and their redemption price. If less than all of the Notes are redeemed, such Notes should be redeemed in accordance with DTC procedures. 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Notes have been earlier redeemed, the Company will, pursuant to the
terms offer described below, offer to purchase all or a portion of each holder’s Notes (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date. For purposes hereof: 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following: 

(i) the direct or indirect sale, lease, 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 assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”))) other than to the Company or one of its subsidiaries; 







 (ii) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or
consolidation) the result of which is that any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) 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 outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than
number of shares; 
 (iii) 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 outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such
transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving
effect to the transaction; or 
 (iv) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be considered to be a Change of Control if: (a) the Company becomes a direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(x) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting
Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (y) immediately following that transaction, no Person is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date
during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing on the date of the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of that Change of Control
(which Trigger Period shall 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 downgrade and the downgrade would result in a Change of
Control Triggering Event). Unless at least two of the Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes shall be deemed to be rated below Investment Grade by the Rating Agencies during that
Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with (i) any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated
or (ii) any reduction in rating if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the
result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, a Change of Control (whether or not the Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the reduction in rating). In no event
shall the Trustee be charged with the responsibility of monitoring the Company’s ratings. 







 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Inc. and its successors. 

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of
Moody’s); and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P); and a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or
its equivalent under any successor rating category of Fitch) or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company in accordance with the definition of “Rating
Agency.” 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its
successors. 
 “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust,
unincorporated organization, limited liability company or government or other entity. 
 “Rating Agency” means each of Fitch,
Moody’s and S&P; provided that if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control,
the Company may appoint a replacement for that Rating Agency. 
 “S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P
Global Inc., and its successors. 
 “Voting Stock” of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of that Person
that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of that Person. 
 Within 30 days following the
date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, in accordance with DTC
procedures or otherwise by first class mail, a notice to each holder of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. The notice shall describe the transaction or transactions constituting
the Change of Control Triggering Event and offer to repurchase the Notes on the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is sent, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of
Control Payment Date”). If the notice is mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, it shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of
Control Payment Date. 
 If holders of Notes elect to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, they must surrender their
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of this Note completed, to the Trustee at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Trustee by book-entry transfer pursuant to the
applicable procedures of DTC, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. On or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control
Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, deposit with the paying agent or the Trustee an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered. 







 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept
for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted. The paying agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall
promptly deliver to each holder of the Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder of the Notes a new Note equal
in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and that third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions herein, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 

Upon the occurrence of the Repurchase Event, the Company shall send, or upon request by the Company the Trustee shall send on the
Company’s behalf and at the Company’s expense, within 10 days following the date upon which the Repurchase Event has occurred and in accordance with DTC procedures or otherwise by first class mail, a notice to each holder of the Notes,
with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of an offer by the Company to purchase all or a portion of that holder’s Notes (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) (a “Repurchase
Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Repurchase Offer Payment”), subject to the rights of holders of Notes on
the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. The notice shall offer to repurchase the Notes on the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is
mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Repurchase Payment Date”). For purposes hereof: 
 “Repurchase Event”
means the consummation of the Company’s acquisition of C. R. Bard, Inc., pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, dated April 23, 2017, among C. R. Bard, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, the Company, and Lambda Corp., a New Jersey
corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. 
 If holders of Notes elect to have Notes purchased pursuant to the Repurchase
Offer, they must surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of this Note completed, to the Trustee at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Trustee by
book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Repurchase Payment Date. On or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Repurchase Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, deposit with the paying agent or the Trustee an amount equal to the Repurchase Offer Payment in respect of all the Notes or portions of the Notes properly tendered. 







 On the Repurchase Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for
payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted. The paying agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly
deliver to each holder of the Notes properly tendered the Repurchase Offer Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder of the Notes a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Upon the presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to
the Indenture, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or
other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the
Company, the Trustee or any Note registrar, co-registrar, paying agent or authenticating agent, may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or an account hereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company, the Trustee and any Note registrar, co-registrar, paying agent and authenticating agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions herein relating to the Repurchase Offer,
the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions herein relating to the Repurchase Offer by virtue of such conflicts. 

Registration Rights 
 In addition to the

THE NOTES 
 Section 2.1
Forms of Notes 
 (a) Offering and Sale of Initial Notes and Additional Notes. The Initial Notes will be issued by the Company
to the holders of the 3.000% Notes due 2026 issued by C. R. Bard, Inc. pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Offering Memorandum. The Company may offer and sell Additional Notes from time to time, including, without limitation,
offers and sales pursuant to one or more purchase agreements or underwriting agreements between the Company and one or more initial purchasers or underwriters. The Initial Notes will be resold, and Additional Notes (other than Registered Additional
Notes) may be resold, initially only (i) to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A (Notes so resold in reliance on Rule 144A, the “Rule 144A Notes”) and (ii) to Persons other than U.S. persons in reliance on
Regulation S (Notes so resold in reliance on Regulation S, the “Regulation S Notes”). Initial Notes or any such Additional Notes (other than Registered Additional Notes) may thereafter be transferred only to, among others, QIBs in
reliance on Rule 144A and non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and the other applicable requirements of the Indenture. 

(b) Global Notes. Unless otherwise provided in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Initial Notes and Additional
Notes that are initially resold pursuant to Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes (each a “Rule 144A Global Note”), and Initial Notes and Additional Notes that are
initially resold pursuant to Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes (each a “Regulation S Global Note”), in each case bearing the Global Notes Legend and the applicable Restricted Notes
Legend. Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” (or a similar schedule) attached thereto (the “Schedule”). The
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented by a Global Note may be increased or decreased, as applicable, from time to time to reflect transfers, exchanges, redemptions, repurchases and cancellation of Notes represented thereby. Any
endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Registrar, in accordance with
Section 2.2 of this Appendix A and any applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
 (c) Book-Entry Provisions. This
Section 2.1(c) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. 
 Prior to the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period with respect to a Regulation S Global Note, beneficial interests in such Regulation S Global Note may be held only through Clearstream and Euroclear, as members of, or participants in, in the Depositary (the
“Participants”), provided, that if The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is not the Depositary for such Regulation S Global Note during such Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in such Regulation S
Global Note shall be held in accordance with the customary procedures of whomsoever shall be the Depositary. After the expiration of the Distribution 

  
 Appendix-3 








 
Compliance Period with respect to a Regulation S Global Note, holders of beneficial interests in such Regulation S Global Note may also hold interests in such Regulation S Global Note through
Participants in the Depositary other than Clearstream and Euroclear, provided, that if DTC is not the Depositary for such Regulation S Global Note after such Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall
be held in accordance with the customary procedures of whomsoever shall be the Depositary. 
 (d) Certificated Notes. Except as
provided in Section 2.06 of the Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Certificated Notes in exchange for their interests in such Global Notes. 

Section 2.2 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer Restrictions. So long as they are Transfer Restricted Notes, the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes (other than
Registered Additional Notes) may not be offered, sold or disposed of except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the securities laws of any other applicable
jurisdiction. 
 Neither a Rule 144A Note nor any interest or participation therein may be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of at any time prior to (x) the date which is six months (assuming the Company satisfies the current public reporting requirements of Rule 144) or one year (if the Company does not) after the later of the date of original
issue of such Rule 144A Note (or any predecessor thereto) and the last date on which the Company or any “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company was the owner of such Rule 144A Note (or any predecessor thereto) or any interest
or participation in such Rule 144A Note or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by any subsequent change in applicable law (the “U.S. Resale Restriction Termination Date”), except (a) to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) pursuant to a registration statement which is effective under the Securities Act, (c) for so long as such Rule 144A Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a Person the transferor
reasonably believes is a QIB acquiring such Rule 144A Note or such interest or participation for its own account or for the account of another QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction
meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (d) to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S or (e) pursuant to any other available exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to, in each of the foregoing cases, any requirement of law that the disposition of such Rule 144A Note or such interest or participation be at all times within the transferor’s
control, and to compliance with the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and with the procedures specified in the Indenture (including this Appendix A). 

Until the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to a Regulation S Note, such Regulation S Note or any interest or
participation therein (i) may not be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed within the United States (within the meaning of Regulation S) or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person, except to a Person
that the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB acquiring such Regulation S Note or such interest or participation for its own account or for the account of another QIB to whom 

  
 Appendix-4 








 
notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (ii) except as provided in clause (i) above, may not
be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or disposed of except to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S, and in each case such offer,
sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or disposition must comply with the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and with the procedures specified in the Indenture (including this Appendix A). In addition, during such Distribution
Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect participants. 

The remaining provisions of this Section 2.2 are intended to implement the forgoing restrictions. To the extent that any transfer or
exchange of Transfer Restricted Notes (including, without limitation, beneficial interests in Restricted Global Notes) is not covered by a specific procedure in the remaining provisions of this Section 2.2, the Company may implement such
procedures and impose such conditions to such exchange or transfer (including, without limitation, the delivery of certificates, legal opinions and other documents) as the Company in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to implement
the foregoing restrictions. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for
beneficial interests in Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Indenture, such Certificated Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any authorized denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with
its customary procedures) and, if any such Global Notes are Transfer Restricted Notes, the Certificated Notes issued in exchange for interests therein will bear the Certificated Note Restricted Legend and either the Rule 144A Legend or the
Regulation S Legend, as applicable, unless otherwise determined by the Company. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in
the principal amount of the applicable Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interests being exchanged for Certificated Notes and the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian to decrease or reflect on its records a
decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such interests being exchanged. If
Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note, then, unless the Company shall otherwise advise the Trustee and the Registrar in writing, such interests may be exchanged only in accordance with such
procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2 (including the certification and other requirements set forth in this Section 2.2 intended to ensure that such exchanges comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S
or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company. 

  
 Appendix-5 








 When Certificated Notes are presented to the Registrar or a
co-Registrar with a request: 
 (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Notes; or 

(y) to exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of Certificated Notes of other authorized denominations, 

the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
reasonable requirements for such transaction are met and if the requirements for such registration of transfer or exchange set forth in this Appendix A and Section 2.06 of the Indenture shall have been satisfied; provided,
however, that if a Certificated Note surrendered for transfer or exchange bears a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of such Certificated
Note (including any such transfer or exchange to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) unless (A) such transferor shall have delivered to the Registrar or co-Registrar a certificate to the effect
set forth in Exhibit D to this Appendix A, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor, (B) in the case of any transfer or exchange pursuant to any transaction that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act (other
than a transfer to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S), such transferor shall have also delivered to the Registrar or co-Registrar (i) if such
transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer or exchange is being made in reliance on Rule 144, that the Holder may transfer such Certificated Note without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 and that, accordingly, the Restricted Note Legend on such Certificated
Note may be removed or (ii) if such transfer or exchange is not being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer or exchange may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and (C) such transferor shall have also delivered to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, as the case may be, any additional certifications, legal opinions and other information as may be required by the Company to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance
with the Securities Act and applicable state or other securities laws. In the case of any such proposed transfer or exchange that requires the delivery of a legal opinion as provided for above, the Registrar or
co-Registrar shall notify the Company of such proposed transfer or exchange in order to provide the Company with an opportunity to review such legal opinion and request such additional certifications, legal
opinions and other information the Company may require. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture and the Note (including this Appendix A) and the procedures of the Depositary and, if applicable, Clearstream and
Euroclear. In the case of any exchange of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, and any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, in each case being made prior to expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the beneficial interests in such
Regulation S Global Note must be held through an account with a participant in either Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be. 

  
 Appendix-6 








 (i) Subject to compliance with the other applicable requirements of this
Section 2.2(c), if the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, (A) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the
principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding
decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred; and (B) the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian to increase or reflect on its records an increase in the principal amount of the Global
Note to which such interest is being transferred (and to record such increase by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall
instruct the Note Custodian, concurrently with such increase, to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred by a corresponding amount (and to record
such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note). 
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is an exchange
of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver to the Registrar prior to any such exchange or transfer (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Appendix
A if such exchange or transfer is to occur prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note or (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B to this Appendix A if
such exchange or transfer is to occur after the expiration of such Distribution Compliance Period, in each case appropriately completed and signed by the transferor. 

(iii) If the proposed transfer is an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial interest
in a Rule 144A Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note and such exchange or transfer is to
occur prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver to the Registrar prior to any such exchange or transfer a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Appendix A, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor. 

(iv) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in another Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such original Global Note and will become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other
procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for so long as it remains such an interest. 
 (v)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A, a Global Note may not be transferred except as provided in the fourth paragraph of Section 2.06 of the Indenture. 

  
 Appendix-7 








 (d) Legend. 

(i) Each Global Note shall bear the following or a similar legend (or, if DTC is not the Depositary for such Global Note, any

Certificated Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note shall bear the following legend or a legend to substantially the following effect (the “Rule 144A Legend”) on the face thereof unless such legend is

applicable Distribution Compliance Period shall bear the following legend or a legend to substantially the following effect (the “Regulation S Legend”) on the face thereof unless such legend is removed in accordance with the

each Certificated Note will bear the following legend or a legend to substantially the following effect (the “Certificated Note Restricted Legend”) on the face thereof unless such legend is removed in accordance with the Indenture

TO THE REGISTRAR SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION AS THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO BELOW OR THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE COMPLIES WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER
SECURITIES LAWS.” 
 (v) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note (including any Transfer Restricted Note represented by
a Restricted Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act: 
 (A) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Note that is a
Certificated Note, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to transfer such Transfer Restricted Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Certificated Note that does not bear a Restricted Notes Legend; and 

(B) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Note that is represented by a Restricted Global Note, the Registrar shall permit the owner of a
beneficial interest therein to transfer such Transfer Restricted Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, 

  
 Appendix-10 








 in either case, if the Holder of such Note or the owner of such beneficial interest, as the case
may be, complies with the requirements of the second paragraph of Section 2.2(b) of this Appendix A (assuming for that purpose, in the case of the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note, that such Restricted Global
Note were a Certificated Note that bears a Restricted Notes Legend and that such second paragraph applies to a transfer of such beneficial interest, mutatis mutandis), including, without limitation, the delivery of a legal opinion to the effect
specified in such paragraph for a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 and a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit D to this Appendix A, appropriately completed and signed by the transferor. 

(vi) After a transfer of any Transfer Restricted Notes, pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement with respect to
such Transfer Restricted Notes, all requirements pertaining to Restricted Notes Legend on such Notes will cease to apply and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate,
the Trustee shall authenticate and make available to or upon the order of the Holders thereof: (A) if such Transfer Restricted Notes are then represented by one or more Global Notes, one or more Unrestricted Global Notes equal to the aggregate
principal amounts of such Transfer Restricted Notes (provided that, if at the time there is an outstanding Unrestricted Global Note, then, in lieu of authenticating and delivering a new Unrestricted Global Note, the interests in such Transfer
Restricted Notes may instead be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of interests in such existing Unrestricted Global Notes) or (B) if such Transfer Restricted Notes are then represented by Certificated Notes,
Certificated Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend, in each case equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Notes. Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Registrar shall cause the aggregate principal
amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly and shall instruct the Note Custodian to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of such Restricted Global Note (and to record such
decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Restricted Global Note) in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Notes so transferred, and shall either cause the aggregate principal amount of the
applicable Unrestricted Global Note to be increased accordingly and shall instruct the Note Custodian to increase or reflect on its records an increase in the principal amount of such Unrestricted Global Notes (and to record such increase by
endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Unrestricted Global Note) or shall mail or otherwise deliver the Certificated Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend to the transferees of the Notes so transferred or any Persons designated by
such transferees, as the case may be. In connection with any such transfer of Transfer Restricted Notes, the transferor shall deliver to the Registrar or co-Registrar a certificate in the form of Exhibit
D to this Appendix A, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor, to the effect that such transfer is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, unless the Company waives the delivery of such
certificate. 
 (vii) Upon the consummation of an Exchange Offer with respect to any Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to
which Holders of such Transfer Restricted Notes receive Exchange Notes pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act in exchange for their Transfer Restricted Notes, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of an order
from the Company in the form of an Officers’ 

  
 Appendix-11 








 
Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available to or upon the order of the Holders thereof whose Initial Notes or Additional Notes have been accepted for exchange by the Company
in such Exchange Offer: (A) if such Transfer Restricted Notes are then represented by one or more Global Notes, Exchange Notes represented by one or more Unrestricted Global Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Transfer
Restricted Notes that are accepted for exchange by the Company in the Exchange Offer (provided that, if at the time there is an outstanding Unrestricted Global Note, then, in lieu of authenticating and delivering a new Unrestricted Global Note, the
interests in such Transfer Restricted Notes may instead be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of interests in such existing Unrestricted Global Notes) or (B) if such Transfer Restricted Notes are then represented by
Certificated Notes, Exchange Notes represented by Certificated Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend, in each case equal to the aggregate principal amounts of such Transfer Restricted Notes that are accepted for exchange by the Company in
the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Registrar shall, if applicable, cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly and shall instruct the Note Custodian
to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of such Restricted Global Note (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Restricted Global Note) in a principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Transfer Restricted Notes being exchanged and shall either cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Unrestricted Global Note to be increased by a like principal amount and shall instruct the Note Custodian to increase or
reflect on its records a like increase in the principal amount of such Unrestricted Global Notes (and to record such increase by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Unrestricted Global Note) or shall mail or otherwise deliver a like
principal amount of Certificated Notes that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend to the Holders of the Notes so exchanged or any Persons designated by such Holders pursuant to such Exchange Offer, as the case may be. Any Exchange Notes so issued
shall be registered in the names of the Holders of the Notes exchanged therefor or in the names of the Persons designated by such Holders in accordance with the terms of such Exchange Offer. 

(viii) Registered Additional Notes shall not be required to bear a Restricted Notes Legend. 

(e) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for
Certificated Notes or transferred in exchange for interests in an Unrestricted Global Note, or all of the outstanding Notes shall have been redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 2.10 of the Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note
or redeemed, repurchased or canceled or if a beneficial interest in another Global Note is transferred in exchange for an interest in such Global Note or if Additional Notes or Exchange Notes are issued and are to be evidenced by such Global Note,
then in each case, the Registrar shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note or Global Notes to be reduced or increased, as applicable, and shall instruct the Note Custodian to decrease or increase, or reflect on its
records a decrease or increase, as the case may be, in the principal amount of such Global Note or Global

 Notes (and to record such decrease or increase, as the case may be, by endorsement on the Schedule attached to
each such Global Note in the applicable principal amount).
