OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE 

ESTABLISHING TERMS OF 0.250% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2021 

January 17, 2017 
 The
undersigned, Marc D. Hamburg and Jennifer M. Tselentis, do hereby certify pursuant to Section 3.01 of that certain Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Indenture”), among Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (the
“Company”), Berkshire Hathaway Finance Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, that: 

1. They are (i) the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and (ii) the Assistant Secretary, respectively, of the
Company. 
 2. As such officers, they are authorized to execute and deliver this Officers’ Certificate on behalf of the Company. 

3. Attached hereto as Annex A is a true and correct copy of a specimen note representing the Company’s 0.250% Senior Notes due
2021 (the “Notes”). 
 4. The Notes are a separate series of Securities under the Indenture. The form of Notes attached
hereto as Annex A is incorporated herein by reference. 
 5. The title of the Notes shall be the “0.250% Senior Notes due
2021.” The Notes will be the Company’s unsecured senior obligations, will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all of the
Company’s subordinated indebtedness. 
 6. The Notes shall be issued at the initial offering price of 99.932% of the principal amount
thereof. 
 7. The Company will initially issue €550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Company may issue additional
Notes from time to time after the date hereof, and such Notes will be treated as part of the same series of Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. 

8. The principal amount of the Notes will mature on January 17, 2021. 

9. The Notes are issuable in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. 

10. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and
the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or January 17, 2017 if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to but excluding the next scheduled interest payment date. This payment
convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. 

  
 - 1 - 








 11. The Notes will bear interest from January 17, 2017 at the rate of 0.250% per annum,
payable annually in arrears on January 17 of each year, commencing January 17, 2018, to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the preceding January 3 (whether or not a Business Day), or if the Notes are
represented by one or more global securities, the close of business on the business day (for this purpose a day on which Euroclear Bank S.A/N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking,
société anonyme (“Clearstream”) are open for business) immediately preceding the interest payment date. 

12. Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for that purpose in the City of London, England, which shall be initially the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, located at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL; provided, however, that at the option of
the Company payments of principal, premium or interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, subject to surrender at such office or agency, in the case of
payments of principal or premium. 
 13. All payments of interest and principal on the Notes, including payments made upon any redemption of
the Notes, will be made in euro. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the
European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in United
States dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second
Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to
the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date (in each case, the “Market Exchange Rate”). The Market Exchange Rate most recently available on, or prior to, the second Business Day before the relevant determination date
will be the basis for determining the equivalent of euro in the currency of the United States of America for any purpose under the Indenture, including for purposes of the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.01(f) of the Indenture.
Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Notes or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in
connection with the foregoing. 
 14. The Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and registered in the
name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch shall initially serve as the Depositary for such Global Securities. 

15. The Paying Agent for the Notes will be The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon notice to the
Trustee, the Company may change the Paying Agent. 

  
 - 2 - 








 16. The Notes shall be defeasible in whole or in part pursuant to the terms of the Indenture,
including, without limitation, Section 13.02 and Section 13.03 of the Indenture. 
 17. The Company will be obligated to pay
additional amounts on the Notes as described under the heading “Payment of Additional Amounts” in the form of the Notes incorporated herein by reference (such amounts, the “Additional Amounts”). 

At least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal or interest on the
Notes if there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate last delivered to the Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of principal or interest on the Notes shall be made to Holders without withholding or
deduction for or on account of any taxes described under the heading “Payment of Additional Amounts” in the form of the Notes incorporated herein by reference. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such
Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such Holders and shall certify the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each
Holder, and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent such Additional Amounts required to be paid under the Notes. 

Whenever in the Notes there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium, interest or any other amounts on, or
in respect of, the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, and
express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts in any provision of the Notes shall not be construed as excluding the payment of Additional Amounts in those provisions thereof where such express mention is not made. 

18. The Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to the terms set forth in the form of the Notes incorporated herein by reference.
Notwithstanding Section 11.04 of the Indenture, notice of any “make-whole” redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price, but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Company shall give the Trustee notice of such Redemption
Price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption with respect to a redemption arising from the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture to such redemption have been complied with. 

All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Indenture.

annually on January 17 in each year, commencing January 17, 2018 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of 0.250% per annum (as adjusted, if at all, pursuant to such Indenture, the “Interest Rate”), until the
principal hereof is paid or made available for payment; provided that any principal, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. Interest on the Debt Securities of this series will be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Debt Securities of this series (or January 17, 2017 if no interest has been
paid on the Debt Securities of this series), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

 [REVERSE OF DEBT SECURITY] 

This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized series of notes of the Company (herein called the “Debt Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2016 (herein called the “Base Indenture”, and as supplemented by the Officers’ Certificate dated January 17, 2017 with respect to this Debt
Security, together with the Base Indenture, called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, Berkshire Hathaway Finance Corporation, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the
“Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Debt Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to €550,000,000. The Company may at any time issue additional securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same terms as the Debt Securities of a series, provided that no additional securities of a series may
be issued if at the time of issuance an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities. 
 This
Debt Security does not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligation. 
 This Debt Security may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the
option of the Company, at any time prior to December 17, 2020, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed or (B) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of
principal and interest on the portion of this Debt Security being redeemed, not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date fixed for redemption, discounted to the date fixed for redemption on an annual basis
(ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)), at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus fifteen (15) basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of this Debt Security being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. 

This Debt Security may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company any time on or after December 17, 2020, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of this Debt Security being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. 

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States
(or any political subdivision of or taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is
announced or becomes effective on or after January 5, 2017, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, there is a substantial probability that the Company will become, obligated to pay
additional amounts as described under the heading “Payment of Additional Amounts,” below, with respect to the Debt Securities of a series, then the Company may at any time at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, such series of the
Debt Securities, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Debt Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. 

“Comparable Government Bond” means in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an
independent investment bank selected by the Company, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Debt Securities of this series being redeemed or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that
such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company, determine to be appropriate
for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate. 







 “Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded
to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded up to 0.001), at which the gross redemption yield on the Debt Securities of this series, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption,
would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined
by an independent investment bank selected by the Company. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Debt
Security of this series, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof to be redeemed and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such
Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Debt Security, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced (solely for the purpose of this calculation) by the amount of interest accrued thereon to
such Redemption Date. 
 The Company must give the Holders of this Debt Security notice, as provided in the Indenture, of any redemption of
this Debt Security not less than 30 days or more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all the Debt Securities of this series, the Trustee will select the particular Debt Securities of this
series to be redeemed by such method that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided, that if the Debt Securities of this series are represented by one or more Global Securities, beneficial interests therein shall be selected for
redemption by Clearstream and Euroclear in accordance with their respective applicable procedures therefor; provided further, that no Debt Securities of this series of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in
part. 
 In the event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of this series and of like
tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture
contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire Indebtedness of this Debt Security or of certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Debt Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Debt Securities of this series 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 and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected (voting together as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each
series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Debt 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 Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Debt Security and of any Debt Security 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 Debt Security. 
 As provided in and subject
to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Debt Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such
Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of this series, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of this series at the time








 
Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Debt Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute
any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Debt Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no
provision of this Debt 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 any interest on this Debt Security 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 Debt Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Debt Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Debt
Security are payable, 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 Debt Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Indenture and this Debt Security are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions
thereof. 
 The Debt Securities of this series are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and
integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Debt Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of this
series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge
shall be made to a Holder 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 Debt Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent thereof may treat the
Person in whose name this Debt Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Debt Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Except in the limited circumstances described in Section 3.05 of the Indenture, the Debt Securities of this series shall be issued in the
form of one or more Global Securities and a common depositary for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream shall be the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 

All terms used in this Debt Security which are not defined herein and are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture. 
 Payment of Additional Amounts 

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Debt Securities of this series shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatsoever nature required to be deducted or withheld by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or
in the United States, 







 
unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof. 

In the event any withholding or deduction on payments in respect of the Debt Securities of this series for or on account of any present or
future tax, assessment or other governmental charge is required to be deducted or withheld by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, the Company shall pay such additional amounts on the Debt Securities
of this series as will result in receipt by each beneficial owner of such Debt Security that is not a U.S. Person (as defined below) of such amounts (after all such withholding or deduction, including on any additional amounts) as would have been
received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Company will not be required, however, to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of: 

 

	(a)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for (1) the existence of any present or former connection (other than a connection arising solely from the ownership of those
Debt Securities or the receipt of payments in respect of those Debt Securities) between a Holder of a Debt Security of this series (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such Debt Security), or between a fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, that Holder or beneficial owner (if that Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the United States, including that Holder or beneficial
owner, or that fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in trade or business or present in the United
States or having had a permanent establishment in the United States or (2) the presentation of a Debt Security of this series for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of the date on which that payment becomes due and payable and
the date on which payment is duly provided for; 

  

	(b)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise, personal property, wealth or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 


 

	(c)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign tax exempt
organization or a personal holding company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; 

  

	(d)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable by any method other than withholding or deducting from payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities of this series;


  

	(e)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security of this series if that payment can be
made without withholding by any other Paying Agent; 

  

	(f)	any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure of a beneficial owner or any Holder of Debt Securities of this series to comply with the Company’s request or a
request of the Company’s agent to satisfy certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of the beneficial owner or any Holder of
the Debt Securities of this series that such beneficial owner or Holder is legally able to deliver (including, but not limited to, the requirement to provide Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successor thereto, and including, without limitation, any documentation
