3.200% Senior Notes due 2015

CUSIP: 219023 AE8

     Corn Products International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company,” which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to herein), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to:

CEDE & CO.

or registered assigns, the principal sum of

*THREE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS*

on November 1, 2015 and to pay interest on such principal sum at the rate of 3.200% per annum.

     The Company will pay interest from the later of September 17, 2010 or the most recent Interest
Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually
on May 1 and on November 1 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) beginning May 1, 2011, until the
principal hereof is otherwise paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the

 

 

Indenture (as
defined below), be paid to the holder (the “Holder”) of this Note (or one or more predecessor
Notes) of record at the close of business on the regular record date (the “Regular Record Date”)
for such Interest Payment Date, which, except in the case of interest payable at Maturity (as
defined in the Indenture), shall be April 15 or October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the
case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date and, in the case of interest payable at
Maturity, shall be the date such that interest payable at Maturity is payable to the same Person to
whom principal on this Note is payable. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months.

     Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder, and may
be paid to the Holder of this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) of record at the close of
business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) fixed by the Company for the payment
of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to Holders not less than 15 days prior to
such Special Record Date, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

     Payment of the principal of this Note and the interest thereon will be made at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, in such currency of
the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the Company (herein called
the “Securities”), issuable in one or more series, unlimited in aggregate principal amount except
as may be otherwise provided in respect of the Securities of a particular series, issued and to be
issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August 18, 1999, between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor trustee to The Bank of New York), as
trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture between
the Company and the Trustee dated as of September 17, 2010 (the “Indenture”) and is one of a series
initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $350,000,000 and designated as 3.200% Senior
Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the
Company and the Holders of Securities (including Holders of the Notes).

     The Notes are subject to defeasance at the option of the Company as provided in the Indenture.

     As long as this Note is represented in global form (the “Global Security”) registered in the
name of the Depositary or its nominee, except as provided in the

2

 

Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, no Global Security shall be exchangeable or transferrable.

     If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and
be continuing, the principal plus any accrued interest may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding of all series which are affected by such amendment or modification,
except that certain amendments which do not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the
Securities may be made without the approval of Holders of the Securities. No amendment or
modification may, among other things, change the Stated Maturity of any Security, reduce the
principal amount thereof, reduce the rate or change the time of payment of any interest thereon, or
reduce the aforesaid majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series, the
consent of the Holders of which is required for any such amendment or modification, without the
consent of each Securityholder affected.

     This series of Notes is redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the
Company’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as
of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 30
basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

     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 the notes 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 this
Note or portion thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed,
the notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by The Depository Trust Company, in the case of
notes represented by a global security, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair
and appropriate, in the case of notes that are not represented by a global security.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection

3

 

and in accordance with customary financial

remaining term of such Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of
four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Banc of America

shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other
Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

     “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

time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the

     If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to
redeem this series of Notes, the Company will make an offer to each holder of Notes to repurchase
all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples 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 any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of
repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s
option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of
Control, the Company will mail a

4

 

notice to each holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase
Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will
be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The
notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the
offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior
to the payment date specified in the notice.

     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under 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 purchase date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful:

	•	 	accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;

of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by
the Company.

     The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase
price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

     The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of
Control Repurchase 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 such third party
purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The
notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the
offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior
to the payment date specified in the notice.

     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under 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 purchase date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful:

	•	 	accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;
	 
	•	 	deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price in respect
of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
	 
	•	 	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.

     The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase
price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of any Notes surrendered; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

     The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of
Control Repurchase 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 such third party
purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
