 REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE 

LEGG MASON, INC. 
 2.700% Senior
Note Due 2019 
  

	1.	Title of Series; Indenture. 

 This is one of a series of Securities issued under
the indenture dated as of January 22, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2014 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as so supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the
“Indenture.” The title of the Securities of this series is 2.700% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the
Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement
of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control. 

The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $250,000,000, but additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the
Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such additional Notes will form a single series of Securities. 
  

	2.	Principal and Interest. 

 The Company promises to pay the principal of this Note on
July 15, 2019. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note until the principal of this Note is paid or made available for payment on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of
2.700% per annum. 
 Interest will be payable semiannually on each Interest Payment Date, to the Holders of record of the Notes at the
close of business on the January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, commencing January 15, 2015. 

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on this Note (or, if there is
no existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a regular record date and the next Interest Payment Date, from such Interest Payment Date) or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from
June 26, 2014. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

  
 R-1 








 Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due
will be paid to the Persons that are Holders on a special record date as further described in the Indenture. 
  

	3.	Redemption and Repurchase. 

 This Note is subject to optional redemption, and may be the
subject of an offer to purchase upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event or a Designated Subsidiary Stock Disposition, as further described in the Indenture. There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this
Note. 
  

	4.	Registered Form; Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

 The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require a Holder to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note. 
  

	5.	Defaults and Remedies. 

 If one of certain Events of Default, as defined in the
Indenture, occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency Default with respect to the
Company occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies. 

 

	6.	Amendment and Waiver. 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be
amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the
Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision that may be inconsistent with any other provision, in each case if such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
Notes in any material respect. 
  

	7.	Authentication. 

 This Note is not valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Note. 

  
 R-2 









	8.	Governing Law.
