Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to establish the form and terms of any series of Securities;

 WHEREAS, Section 301 of the Base Indenture permits certain terms of any series of Securities to be established
pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company
desires to provide for the establishment of a new series of Securities in an aggregate principal amount of €750,000,000 to be designated the “2.125% Notes due 2027 (hereinafter called the “Notes”) under the Base Indenture, the

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms,

 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the purchase of the Notes established by this Sixteenth
Supplemental Indenture by the holders thereof (the “Holders”), it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all such Holders, as follows: 

ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01 Relation to Base Indenture. This Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture constitutes a part of the Base Indenture (the
provisions of which, as modified by this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes) in respect of the Notes but shall not modify, amend or otherwise affect the Base Indenture insofar as it relates to any other series of Securities
or modify, amend or otherwise affect in any manner the terms and conditions of the Securities of any other series. 

 Section 1.02 Definitions. For all purposes of this Sixteenth Supplemental
Indenture, the capitalized terms used herein (i) which are defined in this Section 1.02 have the respective meanings assigned hereto in this Section 1.02 and (ii) which are defined in the Base Indenture (and which are not defined
in this Section 1.02) have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Base Indenture. For all purposes of this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture: 

(a) Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to an Article or Section refers to an Article or Section, as the case may be, of this
Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture; 
 (b) The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and words of similar
import refer to this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; 
 (c)
Headings are for convenience or reference only and do not affect interpretations; and 
 (d) The terms defined in this Section 1.02(d)
have the meanings assigned to them in this Section and include the plural as well as the singular: 
 “Applicable Procedures” has
the meaning set forth in Section 2.07(a). 
 “Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, at the
time of determination, the present value (discounted at the imputed rate of interest of such transaction as determined in good faith by the Company) of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease
included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended). The term “net rental payments” under any lease for any period means the sum of
the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, not including any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rent) on account of maintenance and repairs,
insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amount required to be paid by lessee thereunder contingent upon the amount of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments,
water rates or similar charges. In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of (x) the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease
may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but shall not include any rent that would be required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or
(y) the net amount determined assuming no such termination. 
 “Base Indenture” has the meaning given to such term in the
recitals hereof. 

  
 2 

 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below Investment
Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period commencing upon the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following public
notice of the occurrence of the related Change of Control (which 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, provided that no such
extension shall occur if on such 60th day the Notes are rated Investment Grade by at least one of such Rating Agency and are not subject to review for possible downgrade by such Rating Agency);
provided further that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below
Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or
inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the
applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 
 “Business Day” means
any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which the Trustee or banking institutions in New York City, London or another place of payment on the Notes are authorized or required by law or regulation to

Act), other than the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries; 
 2. the adoption of a plan relating to the
Company’s liquidation or dissolution; 
 3. the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board
of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or 
 4. the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any
merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Voting Stock. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be considered to be a Change of Control if (a) the Company becomes a direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(i) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting

selected by the Company.

1. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities

Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period
from and after that Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date the payment is made. Interest payments shall include accrued interest from and including the date of issue or from and including the last date in respect

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the
provisions of the Base Indenture, this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture and the then applicable procedures of the Depositary (the “Applicable Procedures”). Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that
the transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through book-entry procedures maintained by the Common Depositary, and that, except as provided for in Article II of the Base Indenture, ownership of a beneficial
interest in the Notes represented thereby shall be required to be reflected in book-entry form. Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers in whole and not in part, to the Common Depositary, its successors and their respective
nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note shall be transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedure of the Depositary or its successor. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial
interests in Global Notes contained in the Base Indenture, this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Security Registrar shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Notes
pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof. 
 (b) Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the
provisions of this Section 2.07(b), the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Trustee the
Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. The Trustee shall cancel any such
Definitive Notes so surrendered, and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a new
Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the Holder of such beneficial
interest shall instruct the Security Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Definitive Notes are so
registered. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to Section 305 of the Base Indenture. 

  
 11 

 Section 2.08 Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and
cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 309 of the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by
the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note,
such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such increase.

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) an amount determined by the Quotation Agent equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of

Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture.

with the Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and notice of redemption has been given in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, then on and after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion
thereof) called for redemption.

days’ prior notice, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations or rulings of

day during such 30-day period;

governmental charge imposed under sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to section 1471(b) of the
Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, whether currently in effect or as published and

 Stryker Corporation, a Michigan corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes
any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Elavon Financial Services DAC, as common depositary for Euroclear Bank, SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, S.A.
(“Clearstream”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of            Euros on November 30, 2027 and to pay interest thereon from November 30, 2018 or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on November 30 of each year, commencing November 30, 2019, at the rate of 2.125% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available
for payment. 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 Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which 

  
 A-1 

 
shall be the business day (for this purpose, a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities 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 Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of New York, State of New York or at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purposes in the city of London, initially 125 Old Broad Street, Fifth Floor, London EC2N 1AR; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the place and account designated in writing by the Person entitled to such payment as specified in the Security Register; and provided further, that if this Security is a Global Note, payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable
Procedures of the Depositary or its nominee as permitted in the Indenture. 
 All payments of interest, premium, if any, and principal,
including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of this Note, will be made in Euro; provided that if the Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control
or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the
rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of
conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such
exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the Euro. Any payment in respect of this Security so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an
Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture). Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, a nationally chartered banking association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and
of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to €750,000,000, provided that the Company
may, without the consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time increase the initial principal amount. 
 The Securities of this
series are subject to redemption as provided in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture and Article XI of the Base Indenture. 

This Security will not be subject to any sinking fund. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and
Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

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 of each series 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 of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults 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. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the
right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to 

  
 R-1 

 
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time
Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, 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 Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral
multiples of €1,000 above that amount. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like
tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

TO ITS PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT IS APPLICABLE, IN WHICH CASE THE
TRUST INDENTURE ACT WILL GOVERN.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee have heretofore executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of January 15, 2010 (the “Base
Indenture” and, together with this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of the Company’s debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (herein and therein
called the “Securities”), to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Base Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, Section 901 of
the Base Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to establish the form and terms of any series of Securities; 

WHEREAS, Section 201 of the Base Indenture permits the form of Securities of any series to be established in a supplemental indenture to
the Base Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, Section 301 of the Base Indenture permits certain terms of any series of Securities to be established
pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company
desires to provide for the establishment of a new series of Securities in an aggregate principal amount of €650,000,000 to be designated the “2.625% Notes due 2030 (hereinafter called the “Notes”) under the Base Indenture, the

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms,
have been done; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and the purchase of the Notes established by this Seventeenth
Supplemental Indenture by the holders thereof (the “Holders”), it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all such Holders, as follows: 

ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.01 Relation to Base Indenture. This Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture constitutes a part of the Base Indenture (the
provisions of which, as modified by this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes) in respect of the Notes but shall not modify, amend or otherwise affect the Base Indenture insofar as it relates to any other series of Securities
or modify, amend or otherwise affect in any manner the terms and conditions of the Securities of any other series. 

 Section 1.02 Definitions. For all purposes of this Seventeenth Supplemental
Indenture, the capitalized terms used herein (i) which are defined in this Section 1.02 have the respective meanings assigned hereto in this Section 1.02 and (ii) which are defined in the Base Indenture (and which are not defined
in this Section 1.02) have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Base Indenture. For all purposes of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture: 

(a) Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to an Article or Section refers to an Article or Section, as the case may be, of this
Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture; 
 (b) The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and words of similar
import refer to this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; 
 (c)
Headings are for convenience or reference only and do not affect interpretations; and 
 (d) The terms defined in this Section 1.02(d)
have the meanings assigned to them in this Section and include the plural as well as the singular: 
 “Applicable Procedures” has
the meaning set forth in Section 2.07(a). 
 “Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, at the
time of determination, the present value (discounted at the imputed rate of interest of such transaction as determined in good faith by the Company) of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease
included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended). The term “net rental payments” under any lease for any period means the sum of
the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, not including any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rent) on account of maintenance and repairs,
insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amount required to be paid by lessee thereunder contingent upon the amount of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments,
water rates or similar charges. In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of (x) the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease
may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but shall not include any rent that would be required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or
(y) the net amount determined assuming no such termination. 
 “Base Indenture” has the meaning given to such term in the
recitals hereof. 

  
 2 

 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below Investment
Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period commencing upon the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following public
notice of the occurrence of the related Change of Control (which 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, provided that no such
extension shall occur if on such 60th day the Notes are rated Investment Grade by at least one of such Rating Agency and are not subject to review for possible downgrade by such Rating Agency);
provided further that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below
Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or
inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the
applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 
 “Business Day” means
any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which the Trustee or banking institutions in New York City, London or another place of payment on the Notes are authorized or required by law or regulation to
close and on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (the “TARGET2” system), or any successor thereto, is open.

Act), other than the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries; 
 2. the adoption of a plan relating to the
Company’s liquidation or dissolution; 
 3. the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board
of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or 
 4. the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any
merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Voting Stock. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be considered to be a Change of Control if (a) the Company becomes a direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(i) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting
Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (ii) immediately following that transaction, no person is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

Government Bond Rate.

places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross
redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by the Quotation Agent
selected by the Company.

Section 2.02 Form of the Notes. The Notes shall each be issued in the form of a Global Note, duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee, which shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Common Depositary and shall be registered in the name of “Elavon Financial Services DAC”, or its nominee, for, and in respect of interests held through, the

 So long as the Common Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Note, the Common
Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Note shall be shown on,
and transfers thereof shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or Persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial
interests of beneficial owners). In addition, the following provisions of clauses (1), (2), and (3) below shall apply only to Global Notes: 

1. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary has notified the Company that it is
unwilling or unable or no longer permitted under applicable law to continue as Depositary for such Global Note and the Company has not appointed a successor Depositary within 90 days of receipt of such notice or has ceased to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note or (C) the Company (subject to the procedures of the Depositary) so directs the Trustee by Company
Order. Beneficial interests in Global Notes may be exchanged for Definitive Notes of the same series upon request but only upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with
customary procedures. 
 2. Subject to clause (1) above, any exchange of a Global Note for other Securities may be made
in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Note shall direct. 

3. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note
or any portion thereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof. 

Section 2.03 Terms and Conditions of the Notes. The Notes shall be governed by all the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture,
as supplemented by this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture. In particular, the following provisions shall be terms of the Notes: 
 (a)

interest was paid on the Notes (or November 30, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from and including November, 2018. If an Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period
from and after that Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date the payment is made. Interest payments shall include accrued interest from and including the date of issue or from and including the last date in respect

terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects, except for the issue date, the public offering price and, in some cases, the first Interest Payment Date (the “Additional Notes”). Any Additional Notes having similar terms, together with
the Notes of this series shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes. If the Additional Notes are not fungible with the previously outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the
Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Notice of any such issuance shall be given to the Trustee and a new supplemental indenture shall be executed in connection with the issuance of such additional Notes.

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the
provisions of the Base Indenture, this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture and the then applicable procedures of the Depositary (the “Applicable Procedures”). Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that
the transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through book-entry procedures maintained by the Common Depositary, and that, except as provided for in Article II of the Base Indenture, ownership of a beneficial
interest in the Notes represented thereby shall be required to be reflected in book-entry form. Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers in whole and not in part, to the Common Depositary, its successors and their respective
nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note shall be transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedure of the Depositary or its successor. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial
interests in Global Notes contained in the Base Indenture, this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Security Registrar shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Notes
pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof. 
 (b) Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the
provisions of this Section 2.07(b), the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Trustee the
Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. The Trustee shall cancel any such
Definitive Notes so surrendered, and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a new
Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the Holder of such beneficial
interest shall instruct the Security Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Definitive Notes are so
registered. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to Section 305 of the Base Indenture.

 Section 2.08 Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and
cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 309 of the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by
the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note,
such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such increase.

 Stryker Corporation, a Michigan corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any
successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Elavon Financial Services DAC, as common depositary for Euroclear Bank, SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, S.A.
(“Clearstream”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of Euros on November 30, 2030 and to pay interest thereon from November 30, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, annually on November 30 of each year, commencing November 30, 2019, at the rate of 2.625% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. 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 Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which

  
 A-1 

 
shall be the business day (for this purpose, a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities 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 Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of New York, State of New York or at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purposes in the city of London, initially 125 Old Broad Street, Fifth Floor, London EC2N 1AR; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the place and account designated in writing by the Person entitled to such payment as specified in the Security Register; and provided further, that if this Security is a Global Note, payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable
Procedures of the Depositary or its nominee as permitted in the Indenture. 
 All payments of interest, premium, if any, and principal,
including payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of this Note, will be made in Euro; provided that if the Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control
or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in Euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the
rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of
conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such
exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the Euro. Any payment in respect of this Security so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an
Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture). Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 Form of Reverse of 2030 Note 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 15, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2018 (the “Supplemental
Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, a nationally chartered banking association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to €650,000,000, provided
that the Company may, without the consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time increase the initial principal amount. 
 The
Securities of this series are subject to redemption as provided in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture and Article XI of the Base Indenture. 

This Security will not be subject to any sinking fund. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and
Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

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 of each series 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 of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults 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. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the
right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to 

  
 R-1 

 
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time
Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, 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 Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral
multiples of €1,000 above that amount. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like
tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

THE SECURITIES OF THIS SERIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD
TO ITS PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT IS APPLICABLE, IN WHICH CASE THE
TRUST INDENTURE ACT WILL GOVERN. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture.
