      replaced by the following:
	      		      	      	 
					Section 1004. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.
      
					 
					
           (A)
      Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the
      Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities of such series
      pursuant to Section 1108, each Holder will have the right to require the
      Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral
      multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Securities pursuant
      to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase
      price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued
      and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of
      Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control
      Triggering Event, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder (with a
      written copy of such notice to the Trustee) describing the transaction or
      transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and
      offering to repurchase the Securities on the date specified in the notice,
      which date will be no later than 30 days and no later than 60 days from
      the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”),
      pursuant to the procedures required herein and described in such notice.
      The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e–1 under the
      Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to
      the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
      repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering
      Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
      regulations conflict with this Section 1004(A), the Company will comply
      with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed
      to have breached its obligations under this Section 1004 by virtue of such
      conflicts.

           (B) On
      the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent
      lawful, (i) accept for payment all the Securities or portions thereof
      properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit
      with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
      respect of all the Securities of such series or portions thereof properly
      tendered and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered for cancellation to
      the Trustee the Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’
      Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Securities or
      portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall
      promptly mail to each Holder of the Securities properly tendered the
      Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee, upon
      receipt of a Company Request, shall promptly authenticate and mail (or
      cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Security of
      such series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
      Securities surrendered by such Holder, if any; in denominations as set
      forth in the Indenture. 

		   		The
      following definitions shall be included in the Indenture with respect to
      the Notes:
	      		      	      	 
					
           “Below Investment Grade Rating
      Event” means the Securities of a series
      are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies
      on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that
      could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period
      following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which
      60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities of
      such series is under publicly announced consideration for possible
      downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided, 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 Triggering 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). 

           
      “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the
      direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other
      than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related
      transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of
      the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that
      term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the
      Company or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to
      the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (3) the consummation of any
      transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation)
      the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above), becomes the
      beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the
      Company’s Voting Stock; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the
      members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing
      Directors.

					     “Change of Control Triggering
      Event” means the occurrence of both a
      Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
           “Investment Grade
      Rating” means a rating equal to or
      higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the
      equivalent) by S&P. 

           “Moody’s”
      means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
      

           “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if
      either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities of such series
      or fails to make a rating of the Securities of such series publicly
      available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally
      recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule
      15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as
      certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or
      S&P, or both, as the case may be. 

           “S&P” means Standard &
      Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies,
      Inc.

		   			
				The first sentence of
      Section 403 contained in the Indenture shall not apply to the Notes and
      shall be replaced by the following:
	      		      	      	 
					
      Upon the Company’s exercise under
      Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 403, the Company
      shall be released from any obligations under the covenants contained in
      Sections 801, 1004, 1007, 1008 and 1009 hereof (and any other covenant in
      addition to those set forth herein applicable to the Securities of any
      series pursuant to Section 301 hereof specified to be released as provided
      under this Section 403) with respect to the Outstanding Securities of the
      particular series, along with any additional covenants contained in such
      Security or any supplemental Indenture in connection therewith, on and
      after the date the conditions set forth below in Section 404 are satisfied
      (hereinafter, “Covenant defeasance”), and the Securities of that series
      shall thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any
      direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
      consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
      continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it
      being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for
      accounting purposes).

				The first sentence of
      Section 406 contained in the Indenture shall not apply to the Notes and
      shall be replaced by the following:
	      	   	      	      	 
					
      Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
      discharge of this Indenture and of the Securities of a particular series
      referred to in Sections 401, 402, 404, or 405, the respective obligations
      of the Company and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series
      under Sections 303, 304, 305, 309, 407, 408, 409, 410, and 508, Article
      Six, and Sections 701, 702, 1002, 1003, 1004 and 1006, shall survive with
      respect to the Securities of that series until the Securities of that
      series are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the
      Company and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series with
      respect to that series under Sections 407, 408, 409, and 410 shall
      survive.

     The Clorox
Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor
Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($350,000,000), or such greater or lesser amount set forth on “Exchanges
of Interests in the Global Security,” attached hereto, on October 15, 2012 and
to pay interest thereon from October 9, 2007 or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing April 15, 2008, at the rate
of 5.45% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment; provided that any principal and any such installment of interest that is overdue
shall bear interest at the rate of 5.45% per annum (to the extent that payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable) from the dates such amounts are
due until they are paid or made available for payment. Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable,
and punctually paid or duly provided for (except for Defaulted Interest), on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person
in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest, which shall be April 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day),
as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date even if the
Securities are cancelled, repurchased or redeemed after the Regular Record Date
and on or before the 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 (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 Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities
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 may be listed, and upon such notice
as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said
Indenture.

     Payments in
respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal,
premium, if any, and interest) will be made by the transfer of immediately
available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or any successor depositary.

     Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse

(Form of Reverse of Security)

     This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein
called the “Securities”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 9, 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 Trust Company,
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 and
all indentures supplemental thereto 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. 

     The
Securities are subject to redemption prior to the Stated Maturity upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or from
time to time, in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price
equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be
redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments on the Securities to be redeemed consisting of principal and interest,
exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date, discounted to the
redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 20 basis points, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; provided, that interest installments
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to
the Holders of such Securities of record at the close of business on the
relevant Regular Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in
the Indenture. 

     Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of the
Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of
such Holder’s Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer provided for in
the Indenture (pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate under the Indenture dated
October 9, 2007) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to
the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice setting
forth the procedures governing such Change of Control Offer as required by the
Indenture. 

     In the event
of redemption or repurchase of this Security in part only, a new Security or
Securities 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 the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Securities 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 or waiver of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the
Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Securities, to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past Defaults (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a
provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each Holder
affected) 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. 

5 

     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 the Securities,
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
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 satisfactory indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the

     The Clorox

Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($400,000,000), or such greater or lesser amount
set forth on “Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security,” attached hereto,
on October 15, 2017 and to pay interest thereon from October 9, 2007 or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing
April 15, 2008, at the rate of 5.95% per annum, until the principal hereof is
paid or made available for payment; provided that any principal and any
such installment of interest that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of
5.95% per annum (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made
available for payment. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year

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
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities 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 may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

(Form of Reverse of Security)

     This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein
called the “Securities”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 9, 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 Trust Company,
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 and
all indentures supplemental thereto 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. 

     The
Securities are subject to redemption prior to the Stated Maturity upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or from
time to time, in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price
equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be
redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments on the Securities to be redeemed consisting of principal and interest,
exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date, discounted to the
redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 25 basis points, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; provided, that interest installments
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to
the Holders of such Securities of record at the close of business on the
relevant Regular Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in
the Indenture. 

     Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of the
Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of
such Holder’s Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer provided for in
the Indenture (pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate under the Indenture dated
October 9, 2007) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to
the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice setting
forth the procedures governing such Change of Control Offer as required by the
Indenture. 

     In the event
of redemption or repurchase of this Security in part only, a new Security or
Securities 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 the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Securities 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 or waiver of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the
Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Securities, to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past Defaults (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a
provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each Holder
affected) 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. 

5 

     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 the Securities,
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
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 satisfactory indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities 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 its attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. 

     The
Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of the Securities 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

      an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s
      Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control
      Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
      amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
      purchase (the “Change of Control
Payment”).

3

	        	     	        	
      Within 30 days following any
      Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail a notice to
      each Holder (with a written copy of such notice to the Trustee) describing
      the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
      Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Securities on the date
      specified in the notice, which date will be no later than 30 days and no
      later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of
      Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required herein and
      described in such notice. The Company shall comply with the requirements
      of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
      regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
      applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result
      of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions
      of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1004(A),
      the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
      regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
      this Section 1004 by virtue of such
      conflicts.

				 
				
             (B) On the Change of Control
      Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for
      payment all the Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant

      Securities of such series or portions thereof properly tendered and (iii)
      deliver or cause to be delivered for cancellation to the Trustee the
      Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate
      stating the aggregate principal amount of the Securities or portions
      thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly
      mail to each Holder of the Securities properly tendered the Change of
      Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
      Company Request, shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
      transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Security of such series
      equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities
      surrendered by such Holder, if any; in denominations as set forth in the
      Indenture.

				 
				
      The following definitions

      Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from
      the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a
      Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public
      notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period
      shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities of such series
      is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of
      the Rating Agencies); provided, 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
      Triggering 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).

4

      Company or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to
      the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (3) the consummation of any
      transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation)
      the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above), becomes the
      beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the
      Company’s Voting Stock; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the

      recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule
      15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as
      certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or
      S&P, or both, as the case may be.

				 
				
             “S&P” means

     The Clorox
Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor
Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000), or such greater or lesser amount
set forth on “Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security,” attached hereto,
on March 1, 2013 and to pay interest thereon from March 3, 2008 or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing September
1, 2008, at the rate of 5.00% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or
made available for payment; provided that any principal and any such
installment of interest that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 5.00%
per annum (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made
available for payment. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for (except for Defaulted Interest), on any Interest Payment Date will,
as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security

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

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 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 may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said
Indenture.

     Payments in
respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal,
premium, if any, and interest) will be made by the transfer of immediately
available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or any successor
depositary.

     Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse

(Form of Reverse of
Security)

     This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein
called the “Securities”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 9, 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 Trust Company,
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 and
all indentures supplemental thereto 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.

     The Securities are subject to
redemption prior to the Stated Maturity upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ notice by mail, at any time, as a whole or from time to time, in part, at
the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1)
100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed or (2) the sum of
the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the Securities to be
redeemed consisting of principal and interest, exclusive of interest accrued to
the Redemption Date, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Yield plus 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption
Date; provided, that interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior
to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities of
record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates referred to
on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

     Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of the
Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of
such Holder’s Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer provided for in
the Indenture (pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate under the Indenture dated
March 3, 2008) at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to
the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice setting
forth the procedures governing such Change of Control Offer as required by the
Indenture.

     In the event
of redemption or repurchase of this Security in part only, a new Security or
Securities 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 the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture.

A-5

     The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification or waiver of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the
Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Securities, to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past Defaults (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a
provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each Holder
affected) 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 the Securities,
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
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 satisfactory indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities 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 its attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

     The
Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of the Securities of like
tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

A-6

     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
Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York.

     All terms
used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.
