 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.01 Relation to Base Indenture. This Supplemental Indenture No. 2 constitutes an integral part of the Original
Indenture, and supplements and amends the Original Indenture solely with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 1.02
Definition of Terms. For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture No. 2: 
 (a) a term not defined
herein that is defined in the Original Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Supplemental Indenture No. 2; 
 (b) the definition of any term in this Supplemental Indenture No. 2 that is also defined in the Original Indenture shall supersede the definition of such term in the Original Indenture; 

(c) a term not defined herein or in the Original Indenture shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Contract and
Pledge Agreement. 
 (d) a term defined anywhere in this Supplemental Indenture No. 2 has the same meaning
throughout;

thereof under a lease of Principal Property by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, discounted from the respective due dates thereof to such date at the rate per annum equal to the weighted average interest rate borne by the Notes and
the Other Senior Debt Securities. The weighted average interest rate borne by the Notes and the Other

Senior Debt Securities shall be calculated by dividing the aggregate of the annual interest payments required on the Notes and the Other Senior Debt Securities, based on the amount Outstanding at
the latest date any Notes or Other Senior Debt Securities were issued hereunder or under the Senior Indenture, by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and Other Senior Debt Securities Outstanding at such date. The total net amount of rent
payable under any such lease for any period shall be the total amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period but shall not include amounts required to be paid on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes,
assessments, water rates, sewer rents and similar charges and contingent rents such as those based on sales. The remaining term under any lease shall be calculated without giving effect to any unexercised option of the lessee for the renewal or
extension of any term. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease
subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated. 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of
any of the following after the date of issuance of the Notes: 
 (1) 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 Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries taken as a whole to any
“person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries; 

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any
“person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5
under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the Voting Stock of the Company representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock; 
 (3) 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
Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior
to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged for, Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; 

(4) the first day on which the majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company cease to be Continuing Directors; or

 (5) the adoption by the Company’s shareholders of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a change of
control under clause (2) above if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following
that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending
60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will 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 change). However, a Change of Control Triggering Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Change
of Control Triggering Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event) 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 the Company’s 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, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the
applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Change in Control Triggering Event). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to
be rated Investment Grade by such Rating Agency during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until
such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

this series and thereby increase such principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions (except for issue date and, if applicable, the public offering price, the date from which interest accrues and the first Interest Payment Date) as
the Securities of this series. The Notes may be issued from time to time upon written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Base Indenture.

as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Holder entitled to payment at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Payments with respect to any Global Note
will be made by wire transfer to the Depositary. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of the Notes, but the Company may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 

The Paying Agent and the Debt Security registrar for the Notes shall initially be the Trustee. 

The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

Section 2.04 Global Notes. Notes will be issued in permanent global form as one or more global notes (each, a “Global
Note”), and the Depositary shall be The Depository Trust Company or such other depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate. Notes represented by the Global Notes will be exchangeable for Notes in certificated
form only if the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and the Company has not
appointed a successor Depositary within 90 days of that notice or of its becoming aware of such cessation; provided that the Notes in certificated form so issued in exchange for the Global Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 or any

transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.
Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be exchangeable for Notes in certificated form registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

(d) The amount of interest payable on the Notes for any full Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full Interest Period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for any period less than a month, on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such originally scheduled Interest Payment Date; provided, however, if such
payment on the next Business Day would cause the Interest Payment Date to occur in the next calendar year, then such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the
applicable Interest Payment Date. 
 Section 2.06 Defeasance. The Company may effect a defeasance of the Notes in
accordance with Section 13.01 or Section 13.02 of the Base Indenture.

(the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will 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. 
 Section 4.03 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to
the extent lawful: 
 (1) accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

  
 12 









 (2) deposit or cause a third party to deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the
Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (3) deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. 

Section 4.04 The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes 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 such third party purchases all the Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the
Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment on the Change of
Control Payment Date. 
 Section 4.05 The Company must comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent
that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will be required to comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

constructed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or construction cost of such property, including, but not 

  
 13 









 
limited to, any indebtedness incurred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after the later of the acquisition, the completion of
construction (including any improvements on an existing property) or the commencement of commercial operation of such property, which indebtedness is incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction
or improvements thereon; or (b) the acquisition of property subject to any Security Interest upon such property existing at the time of acquisition thereof, whether or not assumed by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; or (c) any

capital stock or indebtedness of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a corporation
or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided, however, that no such Security Interest shall extend to any other Principal Property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary prior to
such acquisition or to the other Principal Property thereafter acquired other than additions to such acquired property; 
 (2)

bond type), in order to permit the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to perform any contract or subcontract made by it with or at the request of any of the foregoing, or to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any
contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Security Interests; 

(3) Any Security Interest on any property or assets of any Restricted Subsidiary to secure indebtedness owing by it to the Company or to

required by law or governmental regulation as a condition to the transaction of any business, or the exercise of any privilege, franchise or license; 
 (6) Security Interests for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet delinquent, or the Security Interests for taxes, assessments or government charges or levies already delinquent but
the validity of which is being contested in good faith; 

  
 14 









 (7) Security Interests (including judgment liens) arising in connection with legal
proceedings so long as such proceedings are being contested in good faith and, in the case of judgment liens, execution thereon is stayed; 
 (8) Landlords’ liens on fixtures located on premises leased by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; or 

(9) Any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Security
Interest permitted by subsection (a) of this Section 5.01. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection (a) of this Section 5.01, the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may without securing the Notes issue, assume or guarantee Secured Debt which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an
aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Secured Debt permitted to be secured under subsection
(a) above) and the aggregate value of the Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in Section 5.02) in existence at such time (not including Sale and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of which have been or will be applied in
accordance with Section 5.02(b)), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity, determined as of a date not more than 90 days prior thereto. 

(c) In the event that the Company shall hereafter secure the Notes equally and ratably with any other obligation or
indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01, the Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into an indenture or agreement supplemental hereto and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce
effectively the rights of the Holders of the Securities so secured, equally and ratably with such other obligation or indebtedness. 
 Section 5.02 Sale and Leaseback Transactions. So long as the Notes shall remain Outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (except to
the Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, or both) any Principal Property owned by it and in full operation for more than 180 days with the intention of taking back a lease on such property (except a lease for a term of no more than
three years entered into with the intent that the use by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such property will be discontinued on or before the expiration of such term) (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback
Transaction”) unless either (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof, to incur Secured Debt equal in amount to the amount realized or to be realized upon
such sale or transfer secured by a Security Interest on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Notes, or (b) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the value of the property so leased
to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement), within 120 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, of Funded Debt as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company and which, in the case of such Funded
Debt of the Company, is not subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment of the Notes; provided, however, that in lieu of applying all or any part of such amount to such retirement, the Company may at its option
(x)

  
 15 









 
deliver to the Trustee Notes or other similar debt securities theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (y) receive credit for the Notes or other similar debt securities
theretofore redeemed at its option. If the Company shall so deliver the Notes or other similar debt securities to the Trustee (or receive credit for Notes or other similar debt securities so delivered), the amount which the Company shall be required
to apply to the retirement of indebtedness pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Notes or other similar debt securities. 

The term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as of any particular time, the amount equal to
the greater of (i) the Capitalized Rent with respect thereto, or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction as determined by the Board of Directors. 

Section 5.03 Restrictions on Transfer of Principal Property to Unrestricted Subsidiaries. So long as the Notes shall remain
Outstanding, the Company will not itself, and will not cause, suffer or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any Principal Property to any Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless it shall apply,
within one year after the effective date of such transaction, or shall have committed within one year after such effective date to apply, an amount equal to the fair value of such Principal Property at the time of such transfer, as determined by the
Board of Directors, to (a) the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment which are, or, upon, such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Property or
Properties or a part thereof, (b) the redemption of Notes or Other Senior Debt Securities in accordance with the provisions of Article IV of the Base Indenture and at the redemption price referred to in Section 4.01 of the Base
Indenture applicable at the time of such redemption, (c) the repayment of Funded Debt of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Funded Debt owed to any Restricted Subsidiary), or in part to such acquisition, construction,
development or improvement and in part to such redemption and/or repayment; provided that, in lieu of applying an amount equivalent to all or any part of such fair value to such redemption, the Company may, within one year after such transfer,
deliver to the Trustee Notes or Other Senior Debt Securities (other than Notes or Other Senior Debt Securities made the basis of reduction in a mandatory sinking fund payment pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Base Indenture or the Senior
Indenture, as applicable) for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of the Notes or Other Senior Debt Securities pursuant to clause (b) above by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes or Other Senior Debt Securities so delivered. Redemption of Notes pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall not be used as credits against mandatory sinking fund payments.

 Johnson Controls, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (hereinafter called the “Company,” which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
[                    ], or registered assigns, the principal sum as set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Note attached hereto,
which amount shall not exceed $45,896,000, on March 31, 2017 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from the Remarketing Settlement Date or the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of each year, commencing March 31, 2012, at the rate of 2.355% per annum (the “Coupon Rate”) until
the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment; provided that on March 31, 2012, the first Interest Payment Date, interest on this Note will be paid in an amount equal to (a) interest at the rate of
11.50% per year from and including December 31, 2011 to, but not including, the Remarketing Settlement Date 

  
 1 








 
and (b) interest at the Coupon Rate from and including the Remarketing Settlement Date to, but not including, such Interest Payment Date. This Note shall bear interest, to the extent
permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Coupon Rate, compounded semiannually. The amount of interest payable on the Notes for any full Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full Interest Period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for any period less than a month, on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed per 30-day month. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day
(and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such originally scheduled Interest Payment Date; provided, however, if such payment on the next Business Day would
cause the Interest Payment Date to occur in the next calendar year, then such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the applicable Interest Payment Date. 

Except as set forth above, payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Holder at such address as shall appear in the security register or by wire transfer to an
account appropriately designated by the Holder entitled to payment at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Payments with respect to any Global Note will be made by wire transfer to the Depositary. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 REVERSE OF NOTE 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (the
“Base Indenture”), dated as of March 16, 2009, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as amended and
supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of March 16, 2009, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture No. 1”) and the Supplemental Indenture No. 2, dated as of
March 1, 2012 (the “Supplemental Indenture No. 2” and, together with the Supplemental Indenture No.1 and the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $45,896,000; provided, however, that the Company, without notice to or consent of the Holders, may issue additional Securities of this series and
thereby increase such principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions (except for issue date and, if applicable, the public offering price, the date from which interest accrues and the first Interest Payment Date) and with the same
CUSIP number as the Securities of this series. 
 All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the
meaning assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 On or after March 31, 2014, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in
part, at a price equal to the Redemption Price, as set forth in the Indenture. Except as set forth in this paragraph and in Article III of the Supplemental Indenture No. 2, the Company may not redeem the Notes at its option prior to the
Maturity Date. 
 The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 

The Notes are subject to defeasance at the option of the Company as provided in the Indenture. 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to
redeem the Notes, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but not including the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due and owing on the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Change of Control
Offer will be made in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

  
 A-4









 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the entry into one or
more supplemental indentures for purposes of amending or modifying the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture No. 2 at any time by the Company and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of all series affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and the consequences thereof. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except as provided in Section 2.03 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 2. 
 Except as provided in Section 2.04 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 2, the Notes shall be issued in fully registered, certificated form, bearing identical terms. Principal of and
interest on the Notes will be payable, the transfer of such Notes will be registrable, and such Notes will be exchangeable for Notes of a like aggregate principal amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. 
 No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Company may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, Notes represented by Global Notes will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be
issuable as, Notes in certificated form. Unless and until such Global Notes are exchanged for Notes in certificated form, Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to the Depositary
or a nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a Note, each Holder will be deemed to have agreed to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, which is subject to the
contingent payment debt regulations. 
 THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.
