Unconditionally Guaranteed, Jointly and Severally, 

by Cintas Corporation and 
 Certain
Subsidiaries of Cintas Corporation 
 Cintas Corporation No. 2, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Nevada
(hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., c/o The Depository Trust Company, 55 Water
Street, New York, New York 10041, or registered assigns, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000), as revised by the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note attached hereto, on May 1, 2032, and to pay interest
thereon from May 3, 2022 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually on May 1 and November 1 in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on
November 1, 2022, at the rate of 4.000% per annum, until the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon is paid or duly made available for payment, and on any overdue principal or premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum during the period in which such principal or premium, if any, or interest remains unpaid. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the
April 15 or October 15 (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest that is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder hereof on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all

Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment
of interest may be made by United States dollar check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, that payment to The Depository Trust Company or any
successor depository (“DTC”) may be made by wire transfer to the account designated by DTC or such successor depository in writing. 

If any Interest Payment Date or Maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date or Maturity date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by

 Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date will include interest
accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued or to be issued
under the Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2002 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among the Company, Cintas Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), Cintas Corporation No. 3, a Nevada
corporation (“Cintas 3”), the additional subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor trustee to Wachovia Bank, National Association), as Trustee (herein called the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 8, 2010 (herein called, collectively
with the Base Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, Cintas Corporate Services, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Cintas Services” and, collectively with the Parent
Guarantor and Cintas 3, the “Initial Subsidiary Guarantors” and, collectively with the Parent Guarantor and each other subsidiary of the Company that pursuant to the terms of the Indenture guarantees the Company’s obligations
under such Indenture, in each case in such entity’s capacity as guarantor, the “Guarantors”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series
designated on the face hereof, initially limited (subject to exceptions provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount specified in the Officers’ Certificate, dated as of May 3, 2022, establishing the terms of the Notes
pursuant to the Indenture; provided that the Company may, without the consent of Holders, reopen this series of Securities and issue additional Notes, so as to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Notes Outstanding upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture so long as any such additional Notes have the same tenor and terms (including, without limitation, rights to receive accrued and unpaid interest as the Notes then Outstanding). The Notes are
issuable only in registered form without coupons in the denominations specified in the Officers’ Certificate, dated as of May 3, 2022, establishing the terms of the Notes, all as more fully provided in the Indenture and such Officers’
Certificate. As provided in the Indenture and in such Officers’ Certificate, and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, such Officers’ Certificate and in this Note, the Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in different denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same. 
 The
Notes are unconditionally guaranteed as to the due and punctual payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect thereof by the Guarantors as evidenced by their guarantees (the “Guarantees”) included in the Indenture
and set forth hereon. The Guarantees are direct and unconditional obligations of such Guarantors and rank and will rank equally in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such
Guarantors now or hereafter outstanding. 
 Prior to February 1, 2032 (three months prior to the Maturity date of the Notes), referred
to as the “Par Call Date,” the Company may redeem this Note at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to
three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the portion of this Note to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming this Note
matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less
(b) interest 

  
 -3- 












 
accrued on the portion of this Note to be redeemed to the Redemption Date, and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the portion of this Note to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and
unpaid interest on the portion of this Note to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem this Note, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of this Note being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. 
 “Treasury
Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs. 

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government
securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most
recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication), referred to as “H.15,”
under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date, which is referred to as the “Remaining Life”; or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly
equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining
Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15
shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be
deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date. 

If on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on
the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is
closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one
with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United
States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the
United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the
terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. 
 The Company’s actions and determinations in
determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

  
 -4- 












 Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise
transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. Any notice may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, a financing or other corporate transaction, provided that if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or
more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be postponed until up to 60 days following the notice of redemption, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all
such conditions precedent shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date (including as it may be postponed). 
 In the case of a
partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in
part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the
policies and procedures of the depositary. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note called for
redemption. 
 Except as provided above, this Note is not redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and is not subject to any sinking
fund. 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (defined below) occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has otherwise
exercised its right to redeem the Notes, it will make an offer (a “Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price 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 purchase, subject to the rights
of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company
will deliver a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and stating: 

(1) that the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer is being made pursuant to the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes
and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no
earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date”); 

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment, all Notes accepted for
payment pursuant to the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date; 

  
 -5- 












 (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change
of Control Repurchase Event Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address
specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business
on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement
that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and 
 (7) that Holders whose Notes are being
purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 The Company will 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 applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of
Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict. 

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

(8) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer; 

(9) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions of Notes properly tendered; and 
 (10) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the Notes properly accepted,
together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
 Upon
receiving the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment, the Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in the principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will announce the results of the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date. 

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party
makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its
offer.
