on the Notes as the same shall become due, the Company shall cause to be paid to the London Paying Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. London time on the Business Day prior the payment date of each Note, at such bank as the London Paying Agent shall
previously have notified to the Company, in immediately available funds sufficient to meet all payments due on such Notes. 
 (15)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee and London Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under this Supplemental Indenture for or on account of any
present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and any current or future regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof or any law implementing an intergovernmental
approach thereto or by virtue of the relevant holder failing to satisfy any certification or other requirements in respect of the Notes, in which event the Trustee or London Paying Agent shall make such payment after such withholding or deduction
has been made and shall account to the relevant authorities for the amount so withheld or deducted and shall have no obligation to gross up any payment hereunder or pay any additional amount as a result of such withholding tax. 

 

	Section 1.3	Optional Redemption. 

 (a) The provisions of Article Three of the Base Indenture, as
amended by the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes with respect to this Section 1.3. 
 (b) Prior to
January 15, 2025, the Notes shall be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option. Upon redemption of the Notes, the Company shall pay an Optional Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 

 

	 	(i)	100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and 

  

	 	(ii)	the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the Optional Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) using a discount rate equal to the
Comparable Bond Rate, plus 19 basis points, 

 plus, in each case, in addition to such Optional Redemption Price, accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notes redeemed, if any, to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date. 
 In addition, on or after January 15,
2025, the Notes shall be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at an Optional Redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date. 

  
 8 








 The Notes shall also be redeemable, in whole, but not in part, at any time at the Company’s
option, at an Optional Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus, accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Amounts thereon, if the Company determines that (A) as a result of any change or amendment to the
laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after November 17, 2014, there is a material
probability that the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts or (B) on or after November 17, 2014, any change in the official application, enforcement or interpretation of those laws, treaties, regulations or
rulings, including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any other action, taken by any taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, whether or not such action was taken or made with
respect to the Company, results in a material probability that the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on any Notes; provided that the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such
Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by use of reasonable measures available to the Company, not including substitution of the obligor under the Notes. Prior to the mailing of any notice of such a redemption, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
(1) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such a redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem have occurred and
(2) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect based on such statement of facts. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of
interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Optional Redemption Date shall be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Securityholders of such Notes registered as such at the close of business on the applicable regular record
date pursuant to the Notes and the Indenture. 
 (d) On and after the Optional Redemption Date for the Notes, interest shall cease to accrue
on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any. No later than 10:00am London time on the Business
Day prior to the Optional Redemption Date for the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent, funds sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date, and (except if
the date fixed for redemption shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, in a manner
that it deems fair and appropriate in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements. 

(e) Notice of any optional redemption shall be transmitted at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the Optional Redemption Date to
each holder of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Trustee of the Optional Redemption Date at least 15 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall be provided in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture. If the Optional Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Optional Redemption
Price applicable to the Notes that are being redeemed, calculated as described above in clause (b) shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two (2) Business


  
 9 








 
Days prior to the Optional Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall, on the Optional Redemption Date, become due
and payable at the Optional Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date.

 Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. 

2.000% Senior Notes due 2025 
 This
security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture for the
Company’s unsubordinated debt securities, dated as of November 20, 2009 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the
“Trustee”), as supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 24, 2014 (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, the Trustee and The Bank of New York Mellon, London
Branch, as London paying agent (the “London Paying Agent”). The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” By the terms of the Base
Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on the
face hereof (individually, a “Security,” and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Securityholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Eighth Supplemental
Indenture, as applicable. 
 1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security
at an annual rate of 2.000%. The Company will pay interest annually in arrears on April 15 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”) until the principal is paid or made available for payment. If any Interest
Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of this Security is not a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the
date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or duly made available for payment or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a regular record date referred
to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be April 15, 2015. Interest on the
Securities shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of ICMA) day count convention. In order to provide for all payments due on the Securities as the same shall become due, the Company shall cause to be
paid to the London Paying Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. London time on the Business Day prior the payment date of each Security, at such bank as the London Paying Agent shall previously have notified to the Company, in immediately available funds
sufficient to meet all payments due on such Securities. 
 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the
Securities (except defaulted interest), if any, to the persons in whose name such Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such interest installment. In the
event that the Securities or a portion thereof are called for 

  
 4 








 
redemption pursuant to an optional redemption or there is a Change of Control Offer, and the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, is subsequent to a
regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities shall instead be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities as provided in the Indenture. Subject to
Section 1.2 of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, all payments of principal of, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) and premium (if any) on, the Securities shall be payable in euro. 

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, shall act as paying agent and Security Registrar.
The Company may change or appoint any paying agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Securityholder. The Company or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 

4. Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date the Indenture is qualified. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement of such terms. In
the event of a conflict between the terms of the Securities and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall prevail. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face
hereof as the “2.000% Senior Notes due 2025”, initially limited to €640,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Company shall furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and
the Eighth Supplemental Indenture. Requests may be made to: Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., 81 Wyman Street Waltham, Massachusetts, Attention: Seth H. Hoogasian. 

5. Redemption. The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the maturity date, as provided in Section 1.3
of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture. The Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities. 
 6.
Payment of Additional Amounts. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or
other governmental charges of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, unless such withholding or deduction is required by
law. The Company shall pay to a Holder of Securities who is not a United States person additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to such Holder, after
deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon such Holder by the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, shall not be less than the amount
provided in the Securities to be then due and payable (such amounts, the “Additional Amounts”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts under certain circumstances provided
in Section 1.4(2)(b) of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture. 
 7. Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has redeemed this Security or the Company has defeased this Security or satisfied and discharged this Security, the holder of this Security shall


  
 5 








 
have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion (such principal amount to be equal to €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of this
Security at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the amount to be repurchased up to but excluding the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder, in accordance with Section 1.4(1)(a) of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the
Change of Control Offer. 
 8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the
denominations of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Securities may be presented for exchange or for
registration of transfer (duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) at the office of the Security Registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by
the Company for such purpose. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but a Securityholder may be required to pay any applicable taxes or other governmental charges. If the Securities are to be redeemed, the
Company shall not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all of the outstanding
Securities and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security or portions thereof selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portions of any such
Security being redeemed in part; nor (iii) register the transfer of or exchange of a Security between the applicable record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Securityholder may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

10. Repayment to the Company. Any funds or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the
Company, in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least one year after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company, as applicable, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to
the money or securities must look to the Company, as applicable, for payment as unsecured general creditors. 
 11. Amendments,
Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected
under the Indenture 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 to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults


  
 6 








 
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security
and of any Security 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 Security. 

12. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if notice is given by such holders), may declare the entire principal of, premium, if any, and accrued
interest, if any, of such Securities due and payable immediately. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, if an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, 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 the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect
to the Securities. 
 13. Trustee, Paying Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain
limitations imposed by the TIA, or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security
Registrar. 
 14. No Recourse Against Others. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture, or of
any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly
understood that the Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder and thereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders,
officers or directors as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in the Indenture or in the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims
against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer or director as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in
the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the acceptance of the Securities.
