 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 September 17, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning
assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, N.A., 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. The Company may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of this series of Securities,
issue additional Securities under the Indenture having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as this series of Securities. Any additional Securities having such similar terms, together with any outstanding Securities
of this series, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture if either such additional Securities are part of the same “issue” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1275-1(f) or 1.1275-2(k), or such
additional Securities are not issued with more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless such additional securities are issued under a separate CUSIP. 

The Securities of this series will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, at a redemption price
equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount of such Securities and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption)
discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus in each case accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation
with the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the
average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect
to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the 

 
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the
third business day preceding such redemption date.

Fenner & Smith Incorporated or any of their affiliates shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary
Treasury Dealer. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption
date to each holder of Securities to be redeemed. 
 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Securities of this series or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof
upon the cancellation hereof. 
 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 50% 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.

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 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 denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a

herein. 
 Section 2. Plan Administration 
 The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Committee shall have such
powers and authority as may be necessary or appropriate for it to carry out its functions as described in the Plan. The Committee shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder.
The Committee may delegate, to any appropriate officer or employee of the Company, responsibility for performing certain ministerial functions under the Plan. The Committee shall also have discretionary authority to interpret the Plan, to make all
factual determinations under the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan. All interpretations,
determinations, and actions by the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties. 
 Section 3. Eligibility

 Employees of the Company who are designated by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion (each a
“Participant”), shall be eligible to receive bonuses under the Plan for each fiscal year of the Company (as applicable, the “Fiscal Year”). 
 Section 4. Determination of Bonus Amounts 
 (a) The Company, in its
sole discretion, shall establish a cash bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”) for each Fiscal Year and shall also establish performance targets (the “Performance Targets”). For Fiscal Year 2011, the Performance Targets will be
based on a target EBITDA amount (the “Target EBITDA”), a target Earnings Per Share amount (the “Target EPS”) and a target Net Sales Revenue amount (the “Target Net Sales Revenue”) with respect to
the Company that shall be applicable, as determined in the Committee’s discretion, to each Participant. For each Fiscal Year, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the Target EBITDA, the Target EPS and the Target Net Sales

disposals, a stock split, a reverse stock split, a stock dividend, a recapitalization or other similar change affecting the common stock of the Company), or other one-time changes, relating to a Target exist or occur, and (ii) such items,
measures, corporate events or other changes have a material impact on the calculation of a Target, then the Committee shall, in its discretion, make equitable adjustments to the applicable Target that are (x) consistent with the impact of such
items, measures or corporate events and (y) designed to preserve the initial potential bonus opportunity granted to a Participant hereunder for such Fiscal Year with respect to such Target.

 (b) For each Fiscal Year, the Committee shall determine the allocable amount of the Bonus
Pool that each Participant is eligible to receive upon the achievement of the performance targets set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof (such allocable portion with respect to a Participant, the “Participant Bonus Pool Interest”).
For each Participant, the Committee shall determine the percentage for each of the EBITDA, EPS and Net Sales Revenue. For Fiscal Year 2011, fifty percent (50%) of the Participant Bonus Pool Interest shall be based on Target EBITDA in accordance
with Section 5 below, thirty-five percent (35%) of the Participant Bonus Pool Interest shall be based on Target Net Sales Revenue in accordance with Section 6 and the remaining fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant Bonus Pool
Interest shall be based on the Target EPS in accordance with Section 7 below. 
 (c) For purposes of the Plan, and as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the term “EBITDA” shall mean the operating profit for the twelve (12) months ending December 31 of the consolidated Company group plus depreciation and
amortization for the 12 months of the consolidated Company group plus pro-forma operating profit of any entities for the period not fully consolidated by the Company during such twelve (12) month period (which can be for acquisitions

purposes of the Plan, and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the term “EPS” shall mean fully diluted earnings per share of the Company as calculated on a GAAP basis plus any Comparable Item Adjustment losses and
minus any Comparable Item Adjustment gains. 
 (e) For purposes of the Plan, and as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion, the term “Net Sales Revenue” equal the sales revenue of the Company net of excise tax as reported on a US GAAP basis plus pro-forma net sales revenue on a GAAP basis of any entities for the period not fully
consolidated by the Company during this the relevant twelve (12) month period (which can be for acquisitions made during the period of entities not consolidated but equity accounted for) minus pro-forma net sales revenue on a GAAP basis
for any entities that were disposed or discontinued during the twelve (12) month period. 
 (f) For purposes of the Plan,
and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the term “Comparable Item Adjustments” shall mean any non cash or non recurring items that have been determined by management, , as not reflecting the core underlying business
performance of the Company. These adjustments include but are not limited to unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring costs, acquisition related costs that have been expensed, and non-cash interest expense related to the adoption of
ABP14. In any event the items presented to the Committee must be the same as those reported by the Company to the public in the form of the Comparable EPS calculation as issued in any press release with respect to the relevant Fiscal Year.

(b) Unfunded Plan. Bonuses under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company, and the rights of Participants
under the Plan will be only those of general unsecured creditors of the Company. 
 (c) Non-alienation of Benefits.
Except as expressly provided herein, no Participant shall have the power or right to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the Participant’s interest under the Plan. 

(d) Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 (e) Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect
purchase, merger, consolidation, or other event, or a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company and references to the “Company” herein shall be deemed to refer to such successors.

 (f) Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the state of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. 

(g) Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that all payments pursuant to the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals, as
defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of Section 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) and Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. Nevertheless, to the extent Section 409A is applicable to
such payments, it is intended that the Plan (and any agreements or other documents entered into with respect to bonuses under the Plan) and any bonuses granted hereunder comply with, and should be interpreted so that they are consistent with, the
requirements of Section 409A and any related regulations or other guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
