          2024 Notes are registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date (which shall not be less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice sent by or on behalf of the Company to

        B.A.T CAPITAL CORPORATION

        

        

        2.789% NOTE DUE 2024

        

        

        (1)          Interest. B.A.T Capital Corporation, a corporation incorporated in the state of Delaware, as issuer (the “Company”), promises to pay, until the principal
          hereof is paid or made available for payment, interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 2.789% per annum. Interest on the 2.789% Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including September 6, 2019, to but excluding the date on which interest
          is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each March 6 and September 6, commencing on March 6, 2020. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months or, in the case of an incomplete month, the
          number of days elapsed. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the 2024 Notes.

        

        

        (2)          Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest to those persons who were Holders of record at the close of business on the 15th calendar day that precedes each Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day. Interest on the 2024 Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date
          it was most recently paid.  If the date on which any interest payment or principal payment is to be made is not a Business Day, such payment will be made on the next day which is a Business Day, without any further interest or other amounts being
          paid or payable in connection therewith.

        

        

        (3)          Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. Initially, Citibank, N.A. (the “Agent”) will act as a Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Company
          may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

        

        

        (4)          Indenture. The Company issued the 2024 Notes under an indenture dated as of September 6, 2019 (the “Indenture”) and a supplemental indenture dated as of
          September 6, 2019 (the “Supplemental Indenture No. 1”), in each case among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Agent. This is one of an issue of Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued,
          under the Indenture. The terms of the 2024 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture No. 1. The 2024 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture
          No. 1 for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 (as applicable).

        

        

        (5)          Optional Redemption. At any time and from time to time before the applicable Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, upon not less than
          10 nor more than 30 days’ prior notice, at a price equal to the greater of:

        

        

        (1)          100% of the aggregate principal amount of any 2024 Notes being redeemed, and

        
          3

          
            


        

        (2)          as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming
          a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months or, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed) at the Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points,

        

        

        together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

        

        

        On or after the Par Call Date of the 2024 Notes, the 2024 Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part, from time to time, at the Company’s option, upon at least 10 days’ but no more than 30 days’ prior
          notice, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

        

        

        The 2024 Notes are also redeemable by the Company, in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable Redemption Date (including any
          Additional Amounts) at the Company’s option at any time prior to their maturity if, due to a Change in Tax Law: (i) the Company or any Guarantor, in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, has, or would, become obligated to pay any
          Additional Amounts to the Holders of the 2024 Notes; (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, (A) the Parent would be unable, for reasons outside its control, to procure payment by the Company or any other Guarantor or (B) the procuring of such payment
          by the Company and each such other Guarantor would be subject to withholding taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; and (iii) such obligation cannot otherwise be avoided by such Guarantor, the Parent or the Company, taking reasonable
          measures available to it.

        

        

        (6)          Redemption Procedures. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the 2024 Notes at any time, in the case the 2024 Notes are issued in definitive form, the 2024 Notes to be redeemed shall be
          selected in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary.

        

        

        (7)          Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be transmitted at least 10 but not more than 30 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2024 Notes to be redeemed in accordance with
          Section 10.01 of the Indenture. If the 2024 Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such 2024 Notes will state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be redeemed.

        

        

        (8)          Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The 2024 Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
          A Holder may transfer or exchange 2024 Notes in accordance with the Indenture.

        

        

        (9)          Persons Deemed Owners. The Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the 2024 Global Notes for all purposes
          whatsoever.

        

        

        (10)          Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company 

        
          4

          
            


        

        at its request or, if such money is then held by the Company in trust, such money shall be released from such trust. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable
          abandoned property law designates another Person.

        

        

        (11)          Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may modify or amend the Indenture, the 2024 Notes or the Guarantees without the consent of any Holder to, among
          other things, cure any ambiguity, or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the Indenture, the 2024 Notes or the Guarantees and add to the covenants, or the restrictions, conditions or provisions applicable to, the Company and
          Guarantors, as the case may be, such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Company and any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of the applicable 2024 Notes issued
          pursuant to the Indenture. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the 2024 Notes may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2024
          Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of each of the Holders of the 2024 Notes to be affected.

        

        

        (12)          Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the 2024 Notes (other than an
          Event of Default specified in Section 5.01 (vii), (viii) or (ix) of the Indenture with respect to the Company or any Guarantor), shall have occurred and be continuing, unless the principal of all the 2024 Notes shall have already become due and
          payable, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company, each Guarantor and the Trustee, may declare the entire principal amount of all 2024 Notes and
          interest accrued and unpaid thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable, without any further declaration or other act on the part of any Holder. If certain
          Events of Default specified in Section 5.01 (vii), (viii) or (ix) of the Indenture occur with respect to the Company and are continuing, the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the 2024 Notes issued pursuant to this
          Indenture shall become immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request
          or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
          interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the 2024 Notes pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
          faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

        

        

        (13)          Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of 2024 Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for
          or otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate thereof with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

        

        

        (14)          No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors, past, present or future, will have any liability for any of the 

        
          5

          
            


        

        
        Company’s or such Guarantor’s obligations under the 2024 Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of 2024 Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases
          all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the 2024 Notes.

        

        

        (15)          Discharge. The Company’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the
          payment or cancellation of all the 2024 Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2024 Notes at maturity or
          redemption, as the case may be.

        

        

        (16)          Guarantees. The Company’s obligations under the 2024 Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, by each of the Guarantors.

        

        

        (17)          Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Authentication Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

        

        

        (18)          Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OR ANY SUCCESSOR TO SUCH STATUTE) WILL GOVERN AND
          BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS 2024 NOTE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
