 (Reverse of Note) 
 PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL INC. 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, which series is limited in aggregate principal amount to €750,000,000 (except as provided
in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned), all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of April 25, 2008 between the Company and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the
“Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations,
duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, 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, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 2.125%
Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). 
 Principal and interest payments in respect of the Notes are payable by the Company in
euro, but holders of beneficial interests in Global Securities held through the Depositary, other than Euroclear and Clearstream, will receive payments in Dollars unless they elect to receive payments in euro. If a Holder through the Depositary has
not made such an election payments to the Holder will be converted to Dollars by exchange agent, which will be the Currency Determination Agent under the Indenture. All costs of conversion will be borne by the Holder by deduction from the payments.
The Dollar amount of any payment in respect of principal or interest received by a Holder not electing payment in euro will be the amount of euro otherwise payable exchanged into Dollars at the euro/Dollar rate of exchange prevailing as at 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the day which is two Business Days prior to the relevant payment date, less any costs incurred by the exchange agent for the conversion (to be shared pro rata among the holders of beneficial interests in the Global
Securities accepting Dollar payments in proportion to their respective holdings), all in accordance with the Indenture and the Notes. The Trustee will obtain a bid quotation from a leading foreign exchange bank in the City of New York, which may be
the Trustee or selected by the Trustee for that purpose after consultation with the Company. If no bid quotation from a leading foreign exchange bank is available, payment will be made in euro to the account or accounts specified by the Depositary
to the Trustee unless euro are unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control. 

The holder of a beneficial interest in the Global Securities held through a participant of the Depositary (other than Euroclear or Clearstream) may elect
to receive payment or payments under a Global Security in euro by notifying the Depositary participant through which its Notes are held on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date of (1) the Holder’s election to receive








 
all or a portion of the payment in euro and (2) wire transfer instructions to a euro account located outside of the United States. The Depositary must be notified of an election and wire
transfer instructions (1) on or prior to the third New York Business Day after the Regular Record Date for any payment of interest and (2) on or prior to the fifth New York Business Day prior to the date for any payment of principal. The
Depositary will notify the Trustee of an election and wire transfer instructions (1) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth New York Business Day after the Regular Record Date for any payment of interest and (2) on or
prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third New York Business Day prior to the date for any payment of principal. If complete instructions are forwarded to and received by the Depositary through Depositary participants and forwarded by the
Depositary to the Trustee and received on or prior to such dates, such Holder will receive payment in euro outside the Depositary: otherwise, only Dollar payments will be made by the Trustee to the Depositary. All costs of conversion will be borne
by holders of beneficial interests in the Global Securities receiving Dollars by deduction from those payments. 
 So long as
the Notes of this series are in the form of Global Securities only, all Notes of this series will collectively be evidenced (a) by one or more Global Securities (the “DTC Global Notes”) and (b) by the Global Security of this
series registered in the name of HSBC Issuer Services Common Depositary Nominee (UK) Limited (the “International Global Note”). The DTC Global Notes and the International Global Note will at all times collectively represent the aggregate
principal amount of this series outstanding from time to time. If at any time a portion of the International Global Note is exchanged for an interest in one or more DTC Global Notes, the principal amount of one or more DTC Global Notes shall be
increased by the amount of such portion, and such DTC Global Notes shall be endorsed on the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests thereto to reflect such principal increase, subject to the limitation that in no event may the principal amount of any DTC
Global Note be greater than the equivalent in Dollars of $500,000,000. If at any time a portion of a DTC Global Note is exchanged for an interest in the International Global Note, the principal amount of such DTC Global Note shall be decreased by
the amount of such portion, and the DTC Global Note shall be endorsed on the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests thereto to reflect such principal decrease. To ascertain the Dollar equivalent of the principal amount endorsed on the Schedule of
Exchanges of Interests attached to such DTC Global Note, inquiry shall be made of the Currency Determination Agent, and the Dollar equivalent quoted by the Currency Determination Agent (and the date of such quote) shall be noted on such Schedule of
Exchanges of Interests next to the corresponding euro amount. 
 Section 1010 of the Indenture shall be applicable to the
Notes, except that (i) the term “Holder,” when used in Section 1010 of the Indenture, shall mean the beneficial owner of a Note or any person holding on behalf or for the account of the beneficial owner of a Note; (ii) the
following language shall replace subsection (k) to Section 1010 of the Indenture “any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code” and (iii) the
following language shall be included as subsection (l) to Section 1010 of the Indenture “any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).” 

The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole, but not in part, on not more than 60 days’ notice and not less than 30
days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the 







 
principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued interest and additional amounts to the date fixed for redemption if: 

 

	 	•	 	 as a result of a change in or amendment to the tax laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority
of or in the United States or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States) that is announced or
becomes effective on or after May 30, 2012, the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes as described in Section 1010 of the Indenture, or 



 

	 	•	 	 on or after May 30, 2012, any action is taken by a taxing authority of, or any decision is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, the
United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, including any of those actions specified in the bullet point above, whether or not such action is taken or decision is rendered with respect to the Company,
or any change, amendment, application or interpretation is officially proposed, which, in any such case, in the written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, will result in a material probability that the Company will become
obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes, 


 and the Company in its business judgment determines that
such obligations cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company. 
 If the Company exercises its
option to redeem the Notes, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that it is entitled to redeem the Notes and the written opinion of independent legal counsel if required. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire principal of all the Securities of any series upon compliance
by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in
Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding (or, if
such default is not applicable to all series of the Securities, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of all series to which it is applicable) (in each case voting as a single class) may declare the
entire principal amount of the Securities of all series so affected due and payable in the manner and with effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) occurs with respect to the Company, all of
the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any
Holder. 







 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 under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series of Securities affected thereby (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
all series affected thereby at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class) to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences to the affected series.
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 transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon 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 premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in
the Indenture prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is

attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, 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 in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall 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. 
 The
Company, the Trustee for the Notes and any agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes,
whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government








 
Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, as provided in the Indenture.
