their scheduled date of payment to the Redemption Date (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Redemption Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Redemption
Date. 
 (b) As used herein: 

“Adjusted Redemption Treasury Rate”, with respect to any Redemption Date, means the rate equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a 30/360 day count basis) yield to maturity of the Comparable Redemption Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Redemption Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its

Redemption Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as being the most recently issued United States Treasury note or bond as displayed by Bloomberg LP (or any successor service) on screens
PX1 through PX8 (or any other screens as may replace such screens on such service) that has a remaining term comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed. 

“Comparable Redemption Treasury Price”, with respect to any Redemption Date, means (i) the average of the
Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (unless there is more than one highest or lowest quotation, in which case only one

Except as provided herein, in Section 9 below and in Article XI of the Indenture, the Notes shall not be subject to redemption, repurchase
or repayment at the option of any Holder thereof, upon the occurrence of any particular circumstances or otherwise. The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund. 

(7) The Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex 1 the terms of which are herein incorporated by reference;

 (8) The Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Notes, it shall
be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase, at the Holder’s election, all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that
Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public
announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a written notice shall be sent to the Trustee and to the Holders of the Notes describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may
constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (a “Change
of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change
of Control Payment Date. 
 (b) In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver (or otherwise comply
with alternative instructions in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) to the paying agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, its Note together with the form entitled “Election Form”
(which form is contained in the form of note attached hereto as Exhibit A) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory

(vi) a guarantee that such Note, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by
the paying agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) Any exercise by a Holder of
its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of a Note, but in that event the principal amount of such Note remaining outstanding after
repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) On the Change of Control
Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of such Notes properly
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

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. 

(e) The Company shall 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 an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In
addition, the Company shall 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. 
 (f) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are 

  
 4 








 
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations
conflict with this Section 9, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 9 by virtue of any compliance with such laws or regulations; 

(10) The Notes shall be issuable in whole in the registered form of one or more Global Securities, and the Depository for such Global
Securities shall be The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York; 
 (11) The Notes are not convertible into shares of common stock or
other securities of the Company; 
 (12) The Notes will not be issued with guarantees; 

(13) The following additional covenants shall apply with respect to the Notes so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding (but subject to
defeasance, as provided in the Indenture):

Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness that is secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or encumbrance (each a “lien”) upon any property that at the time of such issuance, assumption or
guarantee constitutes a Principal Property, or any shares of stock of or Indebtedness issued by any Restricted Subsidiary, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, without effectively providing that, for so long as such lien shall continue in
existence with respect to such secured Indebtedness, the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company ranking equally with the Notes, it being understood that for purposes hereof, Indebtedness which
is secured by a lien and Indebtedness which is not so secured shall not, solely by reason of such lien, be deemed to be of different ranking) shall be equally and ratably secured by a lien ranking ratably with or equal to (or at the Company’s
option prior to) such secured Indebtedness; provided, however, that the foregoing covenant shall not apply to: 
 (i) liens
existing on the date the Notes are first issued; 
 (ii) liens on the stock, assets or Indebtedness of a Person existing at
the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, unless created in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

a Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of such Principal Property or improvements or construction thereon, which Indebtedness is incurred, assumed or guaranteed prior to, at the time of or within
one year after such acquisition (or in the case of real property, completion of such improvement or construction or commencement of full operation of such property, whichever is later); provided, however, that in the case of any such
acquisition, construction or improvement, the lien shall not apply to any Principal Property theretofore owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than the Principal Property so acquired, constructed or improved (and accessions thereto
and improvements and replacements thereof and the proceeds of the foregoing); 
 (v) liens securing Indebtedness owing by any
Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Subsidiary thereof; 
 (vi) liens in favor of the United States or any State

payments pursuant to any contract, statute, rule or regulation or to secure any Indebtedness incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price (or, in the case of real property, the cost of construction or
improvement) of the Principal Property subject to such liens (including liens incurred in connection with pollution control, industrial revenue or similar financings); 

(vii) pledges, liens or deposits under workers’ compensation or similar legislation, and liens thereunder that are not
currently dischargeable, or in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than for the payment of money) or leases to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party, or to secure the public or statutory obligations of the Company or

proceedings, and other similar pledges, liens or deposits made or incurred in the ordinary course of business; 
 (viii)
liens created by or resulting from any litigation or other proceeding that is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, including liens arising out of judgments or awards against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect
to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in good faith is prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review or for which the time to make an appeal has not yet expired; or final unappealable judgment liens

Property for the purposes of such business; 
 (x) liens to secure the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s
obligations under agreements with respect to spot, forward, future and option transactions, entered into in the ordinary course of business;

through (x), inclusive, together with the Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted by paragraph (i) under subsection (b) below, do not exceed the greater of $100,000,000 or 10% of Consolidated Net Worth;
and 
 (xii) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part,

principal amount of Indebtedness so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the assets (or any replacements therefor) that secured the lien

$100,000,000, and such event of default shall involve the failure to pay the principal of such Indebtedness on the final maturity date thereof after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto, or such Indebtedness shall have

(i) if such event of default under such indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the requisite holders of
such Indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or waived without further action upon the part of either the Trustee or any of the Securityholders; and 

  
 8 








 (ii) subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall
not be charged with knowledge of any such event of default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the Company, by the holder or an agent of the holder of any such Indebtedness, by the trustee

any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction

 THE ADT CORPORATION 

5.250% Senior Notes due 2020 

This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of The ADT Corporation, a Delaware company (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 March 19, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Company
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), as modified by an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 18, 2014 (the “Officer’s Certificate”) of the Company. The Base Indenture as modified by the
Officer’s Certificate 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 Officer’s Certificate, as applicable. 
 1. Interest. The Company
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 5.250%. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”). 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 provided for 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 March 15, 2015. Interest will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 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 redemption and the Redemption Date 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 will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Securities as provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on the Securities shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the
time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture.

 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, the Trustee, will 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 its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity. 
 4. Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture (which shall include, for the
avoidance of doubt, terms set forth in the Officer’s Certificate) 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
entitled to the benefits of all such terms and are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the
series designated on the face hereof as the “5.250% Senior Notes due 2020”, initially limited to $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. 

The Company will furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: The
ADT Corporation, 1501 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431, Attention: Investor Relations. 
 5. Optional Redemption. The
Securities will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date prior to the maturity date, in whole or from time to time in part, in $1,000 increments (provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least
the minimum authorized denomination thereof), on written notice given to the Securityholders thereof not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for redemption in such notice (the “Redemption Date”). The Securities
will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent and delivered to the Company in writing, the sum of the
present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon due on any date after the Redemption Date (excluding the portion of interest that will be accrued and unpaid to and including the Redemption Date) discounted from
their scheduled date of payment to the Redemption Date (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Redemption Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in either the case of clause (i) or clause (ii), accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Redemption Date. This Security is also subject to redemption to the extent provided in Article XI of the Indenture. 

If the giving of the notice of redemption is completed as provided in the Indenture, interest on such Securities or portions of Securities
shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company shall default in the payment of any such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. 

The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities. 

6. Change of Control Triggering Event. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option
to redeem this Security, it shall be required to make an offer to the holder of this Security to repurchase, at such holder’s election, all or a part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that any
remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), of this 

  
 18 








 
Security, in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of this Security repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, a written notice shall
be sent to the Trustee and to the Securityholders describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase this Security on the date specified in the notice,
which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent. 
 7. Denominations,
Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in the denominations of $2,000 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 will 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 will 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 of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series
or portions thereof selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Security being redeemed in part; nor (iii) register the transfer of or exchange a Security of any series between the applicable record
date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Securityholder may be
treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 9. 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 of a particular series 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 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 for payment as unsecured general creditors. 

10. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures to enter into supplemental indentures for the purpose of
adding, changing or eliminating any provisions of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered elsewhere in the Indenture the rights of the holders of the securities of such series; provided,
however, that no such 

  
 19 








 
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, shall: (i) extend a fixed maturity of or any installment of principal of
any Securities of any series or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the amount of principal of any original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; (ii) reduce
the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest of any Security of any series; (iii) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security; (iv) make any Security payable in Currency other than that stated in the Security;
(v) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the fixed maturity thereof (or in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date); or (vi) reduce the percentage of Securities, the holders of
which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture or indentures. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding securities of each series
affected thereby, on behalf of all of the holders of the securities of such series, to waive any past Default under the Indenture, and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
security of such series or a Default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding security of such affected series. Any such consent or waiver by the
registered Securityholder shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange for this Security or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or
otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 11. Defaults and
Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the securities of a series issued pursuant to the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series
then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if notice is given by such holders), may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, 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 will 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 of a series issued pursuant to the
Indenture will 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 of such series. 

12. 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. 

13. 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, 

  
 20
