 Each Additional U.S. Term B-2 Lender hereby agrees to provide the Additional U.S. Term B-2 Commitment set forth on its signature page hereto pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1(d) of the
Loan Agreement. The Additional U.S. Term B-2 Commitment provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms in the Loan Agreement and to the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, and

 Each Additional U.S. Term B-2 Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and

 Each Additional U.S. Term B-2 Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of
the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any other Additional U.S. Term B-2 Lender or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are

Upon (i) the execution of a counterpart of this Agreement by each Additional U.S. Term B-2
Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed counterpart (including by way of telecopy or other electronic transmission) hereof, each of the undersigned Additional U.S.
Term B-2 Lenders shall become Lenders under the Loan Agreement and shall have the respective Additional U.S. Term B-2 Commitment set forth on its signature page hereto,

matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF

the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

the same agreement.

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 and Decreases in Global Security attached hereto, on April 1, 2022, and
to pay interest thereon from March 14, 2017 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
semiannually on April 1 and October 1 in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on October
1, 2017, at the rate of 2.900% 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 March 15 or September 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 as more fully provided in such Indenture. Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will
be made at the office or agency of the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor maintained for that purpose in The Borough of 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 law, regulation or executive order to close.

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 March 14,
2017, 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 March 14, 2017, 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.

 

This Note is redeemable at the option of the Company,
in whole or in part at any time, or from time to time prior to the date that is one month prior to its Maturity Date, at a Redemption
Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and (ii) the sum, as determined by the
Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
on this Note to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis
points, and in each case accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date (the “Make-Whole Premium”).
If this Note is redeemed on or after the date that is one month prior to its Maturity Date, the Note will be redeemed at a Redemption
Price equal to 100% of its principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for
the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Maturity
Date of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be
determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis, rounding to
the nearest month) or (ii) if the release referred to in clause (i) (or any successor release) is not published during the week
preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be
calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. Prior to the Redemption Date the Company will file with the

price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as
defined below).

 

Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption
Event, the Company will promptly (but in no event later than five business days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event)

case in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. The Company will notify each such Holder in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Indenture that all of the outstanding Notes shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption
Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the Notes. At or
prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company

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:
