 ANNEX A 
 Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the terms of a series of securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Designation. The designation of the securities is “1.40% Notes due 2018” (the “2018 Notes”). 


 

	 	2.	Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2018 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000 (except for 2018 Notes authenticated
and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2018 Notes pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Indenture). 


 

	 	3.	Currency Denomination. The 2018 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars. 


 

	 	4.	Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2018 Notes is payable is March 15, 2018. 


 

	 	5.	Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2018 Note shall bear interest from March 8, 2013 at 1.40% per annum until the
principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2013, to the persons in whose names the 2018 Notes are registered at the close
of business on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1, respectively. Interest on the 2018 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from March 8, 2013.
Interest on the 2018 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2018 Notes is not a Business Day, then
payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such 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). 


 

	 	6.	Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2018 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2018 Notes shall be registrable, at the
office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in Minneapolis, Minnesota, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2018
Notes register; provided, however, that while any 2018 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2018 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the
Depositary or its nominee. 

  

	 	7.	 Optional Redemption. The 2018 Notes may be redeemed, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for
cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest thereon (not 



  
 A-1










	 	
including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any 2018 Note remaining outstanding after a
redemption in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2018 Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be
payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2018 Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2018 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2018 Notes are
to be redeemed, the 2018 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or another method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. 

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2018 Notes that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the 2018 Notes. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee is provided fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall
substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the
average, as determined by the Trustee and confirmed by the Issuer in an officer’s certificate, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to
the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a 
 percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price on such
redemption date. 

  
 A-2










	 	8.	Change of Control. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2018
Notes in whole as described above, holders of the 2018 Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000 original principal amount) of their 2018 Notes pursuant to the offer described
below (the “Change of Control Offer”); provided that the principal amount of any 2018 Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer
will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2018 Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of
repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to holders of the 2018 Notes describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2018 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the
“Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply 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 2018 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of
such conflicts. 

 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of notes held in book-entry form, transmit
electronically) to each holder of the 2018 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new 2018 Note equal in principal
amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2018 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2018 Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party repurchases all 2018 Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer will not repurchase any 2018 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 upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the
Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all 2018 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying


  
 A-3









 
agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2018 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the 2018
Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes or portions of 2018 Notes being repurchased.

notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the 2018 Notes is
under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 “Change of Control”
means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, 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 properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation)
the result of which is that any Person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Issuer’s voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of
the Issuer’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and
(ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuer’s voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of original issue of the 2018 Notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were
members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Issuer’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to
such nomination).

Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. 

  
 A-4









 “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and
(2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the 2018 Notes or fails to make a rating of the 2018 Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Issuer’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating

Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary or the ownership of the assets of any of them which were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit and which do not, in the opinion of the Issuer, materially
impair the use of such assets in the operation of the business of the Issuer or such Consolidated Subsidiary or the value of such assets for the purposes thereof; (k) liens relating to accounts receivable of the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries which have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to another Person in a transaction classified as a sale of accounts receivable in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (to the

Subsidiaries (including Receivables Subsidiaries) incurred in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction. Notwithstanding the above, the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary may, without securing the 2018 Notes, create or assume any
Indebtedness which is secured by a lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, provided that at the time of such creation or assumption, after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 10% of the total assets of
the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
 Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. The Issuer covenants that, so long as any of the 2018 Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer will not, nor shall the Issuer permit any Consolidated
Subsidiary to, enter into any sale and lease-back transaction with respect to any assets, other than any sale and lease-back transaction involving a lease for a term of not more than three years, unless either (a) the Issuer or such
Consolidated Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a lien on the assets to be leased in an amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such transaction without equally and ratably securing the 2018 Notes
pursuant to clauses (a) through (k) inclusive of the covenant with respect to “Limitation on Liens” above, or (b) the proceeds of the sale of the assets to be leased are at least equal to their fair market value (as


  
 A-7









 
determined by the Board of Directors of the Issuer) and the proceeds are applied to the purchase or acquisition (or, in the case of real property, the construction) of assets or to the retirement
(other than at maturity or pursuant to a mandatory sinking fund or mandatory redemption provision) of indebtedness. The foregoing limitation shall not apply, if at the time the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary enters into such sale and
lease-back transaction, and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 10% of the total assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

mean, as of the date of determination, the lesser of (a) the fair value of the assets subject to such transaction, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, or (b) the present value (discounted at the rate of interest set
forth in or implicit in the terms of such lease or, if it is not practicable to determine such rate, the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by all series of Securities then Outstanding and subject to the “Limitation on Sale and
Lease-Back Transactions” covenant above compounded semi-annually, in either case as determined by the principal accounting or financial officer of the Issuer) of the obligations of the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary for net rental

of America whose financial statements are consolidated with those of the Issuer in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
 The term “Exempted Debt” shall mean the sum of the following as of the date of determination: (i) Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries incurred after the date of
issuance of the Notes and secured by liens not permitted to be created or assumed pursuant to the covenant with respect to “Limitation on Liens” above, and (ii) Attributable Debt of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in
respect of every sale and lease-back transaction entered into after the date of issuance of the Notes, other than leases expressly permitted by the covenant with respect to “Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions” above.

 The term “Indebtedness” shall mean all items classified as indebtedness on the most recently available consolidated
balance sheet of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
 The term “net rental payments” under any lease of any period shall mean the sum of the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, not including,

of transactions entered into by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries sells, conveys or otherwise transfers to (i) a Receivables Subsidiary (in the case of a transfer by the Issuer or any
of its Subsidiaries) and (ii) any other Person (in the case of a transfer by a Receivables Subsidiary), or grants a security interest in, any accounts receivable (whether now existing or arising in the future) or inventory of the Issuer or any

 The term “Receivables Subsidiary” shall mean a Subsidiary of the Issuer which engages in no activities other than in
connection with the financing of accounts receivable or inventory (a) no portion of the Indebtedness or any other obligations (contingent or otherwise) of which (i) is guaranteed by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer (excluding

McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) on March 15, 2018 and to pay interest on said principal sum
from March 8, 2013, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) of
each year commencing on September 15, 2013, at the rate of 1.40% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable. 
 The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which the principal or
interest payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The

paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such record date and may be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not
less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest), notice whereof shall be given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the registered holders of Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record

however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the registry books of the Issuer; provided, further, that for so long as this Note
is represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on this Note may be made by wire transfer to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee (as defined below) under the Indenture

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities (the “Securities”) of the Issuer designated as its 1.40% Notes due
March 15, 2018 (the “Notes”). The Securities are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms of individual series of Securities may vary with respect to interest rate or interest rate formulas, issue
dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise. 
 The Notes are issuable only as Registered
Securities in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Notes as requested by the holder surrendering the same. 
 Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable and is not
entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision. 
 The Notes may be redeemed, in whole, at any time, or in
part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption; provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in
part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the
interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the Notes will receive written notice thereof at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless
the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be
redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or another method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of
the Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of four
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee is provided fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations,
the average of all such quotations. 

  
 A-1-4









 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer.

 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall
substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the
average, as determined by the Trustee and confirmed by the Issuer in an officer’s certificate, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to
the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price on such redemption date. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, holders of the Notes will have the
right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000 original principal amount) of their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”); provided that the principal amount
of any Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to holders of the Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date
specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The
Issuer must comply 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 securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of such conflicts. 
 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of notes held in book-entry form, transmit electronically) to each holder of the Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the
Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal
amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. 

  
 A-1-5









 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and the third party
repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer 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 upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 On the Change
of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent no later
than 11:00 a.m. New York City time an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together
with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. 

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies
(as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period
shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, 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 properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person other than the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any
transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Issuer’s
voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to result in a Change of Control if
(i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Issuer’s
voting stock immediately prior to that transaction. 
 “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of
both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of
determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of original issue of this Security; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with
the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Issuer’s proxy statement in which such member was
named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination). 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Inc., a
subsidiary of Fimalac, S.A. 

  
 A-1-6









 “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the
equivalent) by Fitch, Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P. 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 

“Person” has the meaning set forth in the Indenture and includes a “person” as used in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act. 
 “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of
Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the notes or fails to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Issuer’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the
meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Issuer as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, of all series issued under such Indenture then outstanding and affected (each voting as one class), to add any provisions to, or change
in any manner, eliminate or waive any of the provisions of, such Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities or Coupons so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee, may not, without the consent
of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of the principal of any Security or reduce the principal amount thereof or premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (other than as otherwise may be provided with respect to such series), premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable or
reduce the amount of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security that is payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or in the case of Subordinated Securities of any series, modify any of the subordination provisions or the
definition of “Senior Indebtedness” relating to such series in a manner adverse to the holders of such Subordinated Securities, or alter certain provisions of the Indenture relating to Securities not denominated in Dollars or the Judgment
Currency of such Securities or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment thereof when due or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder
or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of Securities of any series issued under the Indenture, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such modification. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with
respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of each such series, each such series voting as a separate class (or, of
all Securities, as the case may be voting as a single class) may under certain circumstances waive all defaults with respect to each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul a declaration of
default and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereto. 

  
 A-1-7









 The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or interest
on any of the Securities. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter
or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, 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 Note may be registered on the
registry books of the Issuer, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained by the Issuer for such purpose in Minneapolis, Minnesota, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder hereof or by its 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. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer 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 be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION
5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

 ANNEX B 
 Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the terms of a series of securities to be issued pursuant to the Indenture are as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Designation. The designation of the securities is “2.85% Notes due 2023” (the “2023 Notes”). 


 

	 	2.	Initial Aggregate Principal Amount. The 2023 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $400,000,000 (except for 2023 Notes authenticated
and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2023 Notes pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the Indenture). 


 

	 	3.	Currency Denomination. The 2023 Notes shall be denominated in Dollars. 


 

	 	4.	Maturity. The date on which the principal of the 2023 Notes is payable is March 15, 2023. 


 

	 	5.	Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date; Regular Record Dates. Each 2023 Note shall bear interest from March 8, 2013 at 2.85% per annum until the
principal thereof is paid. Such interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, to the persons in whose names the 2023 Notes are registered at the close of
business on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1, respectively. Interest on the 2023 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from March 8, 2013.
Interest on the 2023 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which principal, premium, if any, or interest is payable on the 2023 Notes is not a Business Day, then
payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable on such 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). 


 

	 	6.	Place of Payment. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2023 Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the 2023 Notes shall be registrable, at the
office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose in Minneapolis, Minnesota, except that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the 2023
Notes register; provided, however, that while any 2023 Notes are represented by a Registered Global Security, payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2023 Notes may be made by wire transfer to the account of the
Depositary or its nominee. 

  

	 	7.	 Optional Redemption. The 2023 Notes may be redeemed, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for
cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and, unless the 2023 Notes are redeemed on or after December 15, 2022, (ii) an amount, as determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of
the present values of the 



  
 B-1










	 	
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on
a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that the
principal amount of any 2023 Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on 2023 Notes that are due and payable on interest
payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed will receive notice
thereof at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 2023 Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the 2023 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2023 Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or another method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. 


“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the 2023 Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term
of the 2023 Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of
four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee is provided fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by
the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer
shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee and confirmed by the Issuer in an
officer’s certificate, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any
redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a 

percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price on such redemption date. 

  
 B-2










	 	8.	Change of Control. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the 2023
Notes in whole as described above, holders of the 2023 Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000 original principal amount) of their 2023 Notes pursuant to the offer described
below (the “Change of Control Offer”); provided that the principal amount of any 2023 Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer
will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2023 Notes repurchased, to, but not including, the date of
repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to holders of the 2023 Notes describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2023 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the
“Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply 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 2023 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue of
such conflicts. 

 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of notes held in book-entry form, transmit
electronically) to each holder of the 2023 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new 2023 Note equal in principal
amount to any unrepurchased portion of any 2023 Notes surrendered; provided, that each new 2023 Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of

 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the
Issuer will be required, to the extent lawful, to (i) accept for payment all 2023 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying

under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 
 “Change of Control”
means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, 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

remain outstanding, it shall not, nor shall it permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, create or assume any Indebtedness for money borrowed which is secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest or lien (“liens”) of or upon any assets,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, of the Issuer or any such Consolidated Subsidiary without equally and ratably securing the 2023 Notes by a lien ranking equally to and ratably with (or at the option of the Issuer, senior to) such secured

or similar financing); (f) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) to (e), inclusive; (g) liens imposed by
law, such as mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, materialmen’s, carriers’, warehousemen’s, vendors’ or other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business, or governmental (federal, state or municipal)

redemption provision) of indebtedness. The foregoing limitation shall not apply, if at the time the Issuer or any Consolidated Subsidiary enters into such sale and lease-back transaction, and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not

lease or, if it is not practicable to determine such rate, the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by all series of Securities then Outstanding and subject to the “Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions” covenant above

issuance of the Notes and secured by liens not permitted to be created or assumed pursuant to the covenant with respect to “Limitation on Liens” above, and (ii) Attributable Debt of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in
respect of every sale and lease-back transaction entered into after the date of issuance of the Notes, other than leases expressly permitted by the covenant with respect to “Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions” above.

 The term “Indebtedness” shall mean all items classified as indebtedness on the most recently available consolidated
balance sheet of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities (the “Securities”) of the Issuer designated as its 2.85% Notes due
March 15, 2023 (the “Notes”). The Securities are all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 4, 2012 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Issuer and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association as trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms of individual series of Securities may vary with respect to interest rate or interest rate formulas, issue
dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise. 
 The Notes are issuable only as Registered
Securities in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Notes as requested by the holder surrendering the same. 
 Except as set forth below, this Note is not redeemable and is not
entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision. 
 The Notes may be redeemed, in whole, at any time, or in
part, from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and, unless the Notes are redeemed on or after December 15, 2022, (ii) an amount, as
determined by the Quotation Agent, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to
the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption; provided that the principal
amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates
falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date. Holders of the Notes will receive written notice thereof at least 30 and not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less
than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or another method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized,
at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee is provided fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
such quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer. 

  
 B-1-4









 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Merrill, Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary
Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee and confirmed by the Issuer in an
officer’s certificate, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any
redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price on such redemption date. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless
the Issuer has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes in whole as described above, holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000 original principal amount)
of their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”); provided that the principal amount of any Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000.
In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but
not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to mail a notice to holders of the Notes describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed
(the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein and in such notice. The Issuer must comply 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 securities laws or regulations conflict
with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Issuer will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions herein by virtue
of such conflicts. 
 The paying agent will promptly mail (or, in the case of notes held in book-entry form, transmit
electronically) to each holder of the Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to

an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the
occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or

 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer
and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, of all series issued under such Indenture then outstanding and
affected (each voting as one class), to add any provisions to, or change in any manner, eliminate or waive any of the provisions of, such Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities or Coupons so affected;
provided that the Issuer and the Trustee, may not, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of the principal of any Security or reduce the principal amount
thereof or premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (other than as otherwise may be
provided with respect to such series), premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable or reduce the amount of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security that is payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or in the case of
Subordinated Securities of any series, modify any of the subordination provisions or the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” relating to such series in a manner adverse to the holders of such Subordinated Securities, or alter certain
provisions of the Indenture relating to Securities not denominated in Dollars or the Judgment Currency of such Securities or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment thereof when due or,
if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of Securities of any series issued under the Indenture, the consent of the holders of
which is required for any such modification. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding
of the Securities of each such series, each such series voting as a separate class (or, of all Securities, as the case may be voting as a single class) may under certain circumstances waive all defaults with respect to each such series (or with
respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul a declaration of default and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right
consequent thereto. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
