The following terms apply to this Security, as and to the extent shown below:

Terms left blank or marked “N/A”, “No”, “None” or in a similar manner do not apply to this Security except as otherwise may be specified.

Whenever used in this Security, the terms specified above that apply to this Security have the meanings specified above, unless the context requires otherwise.  Other terms used in this Security that are not defined herein but that are defined in the Indenture referred to in Section 1 on the reverse of this Security are used herein as defined therein.

2

3M Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited as the nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon London Branch, a common depositary for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear system, and Clearstream Banking, S.A., or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, at the Interest Rate shown above, annually on each Interest Payment Date set forth above from and after the date of this Security and at the Stated Maturity Date until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for.  Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Securities (or the Original Issue Date, if no interest has been paid), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.  This day count convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.  Each payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the last date to which interest has been paid, or made available for payment, or from the Original Issue Date if none has been paid, or made available for payment, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be.  Unless this Security is a Security which has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  If this Security has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor Security or, if no interest was paid on such Predecessor Security, from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, 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 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).  If interest is due at Maturity but on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid to the Person entitled to receive the principal hereof.  Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest either may 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 the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

3

The principal of this Security payable at the Maturity or earlier date of redemption shall be paid against presentation and surrender of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in London.  The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent as the office to be maintained by it where Security may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices to or demands upon the Company in respect of the Securities or the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof may be served.

Currency of Payment

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next paragraph.  The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country, except as provided in the next sentence.

If euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Economic and Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Securities will be made in U.S. dollars until euro is again available to the Company or so used.  The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted to U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined on the reverse hereof) on the second Business Day before that payment is due, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date that payment is due.  Any payment in respect of the Securities so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture.  Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

Payments Due on a Business Day

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to this Security.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security on a day (the “Specified Day”) that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day and no additional interest will accrue with respect to the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.  The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to this Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 113 of the Indenture.

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.

4

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

5

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

(b)                                 Paying Agent.  The Company has initially appointed the institution named on the face of this Security as Paying Agent to act as such agent with respect to this Security, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time.  The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment.  Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, Affiliates of any such agent or Affiliates of the Company.

All determinations made by the Paying Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company.  The Paying Agent shall not have any liability therefor.

6.                                      Transfer and Exchange

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.

Payments (including principal, premium and interest) and transfers with respect to Securities in certificated form may be executed at the office or agency maintained for such purpose in London (initially the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent) or, at the Company’s option, by check mailed to the holders thereof at the respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of the Securities, provided that all payments (including principal, premium and interest) on Securities in certificated form, for which the Holders thereof have given wire transfer instructions, will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof.  No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection with that registration may be required.

7.                                      Defeasance.

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 so specified on the face hereof, either or both of such provisions are applicable to this Security, as so specified.

8.                                      Remedies.

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.

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 premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

9.                                      Modification and Waiver.

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 aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.

Under the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series or any other series of Outstanding Securities may, on behalf of all Holders of that series, waive compliance by the Company with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, and waive any past Event of Default under the Indenture, but in each case only with respect to that series, except an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on and Securities of that series or an Event of Default under any provision of the Indenture which itself cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each Outstanding Security of that series.  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.

Optional Redemption

This Security will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at the Company’s option, at any time prior to November 15, 2021 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Security), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Security or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), 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 Redemption Date on an annual basis (based on the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365 (or, if any of those days elapsed fall in a leap year, the sum of (x) the number of those days falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (y) the number of those days falling in a non-leap year divided by 365)) at the Reference Dealer Rate (as defined below), plus 12.5 basis points, plus in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

In addition, at any time on or after November 15, 2021 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Security), the Security will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Security plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

Redemption for Tax Reasons

If, in the written opinion of independent counsel chosen by the Company, there is a substantial probability that the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional interest on this Security as described on the reverse of this Security under “Payment of Additional Interest”, as a result of any of the following events occurring on or after May 23, 2016 (a) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, (b) any action taken by a taxing authority of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein affecting taxation, which action is generally applied or is taken with respect to the Company, (c) a decision rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, whether or not such decision was rendered with respect to the Company, (d) a private letter ruling or technical advice memorandum issued by the National Office of the United States Internal Revenue Service on substantially the same facts as those affecting the Company or (e) any change, amendment, application, interpretation or execution of the laws of the United States (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) shall have been officially proposed, which change, amendment, action, application, interpretation or execution would have effect after May 23, 2016 and the Company determines that such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures then available to the Company, then the Company may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holder for the time being of this Security, redeem this Security in whole, but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay such additional interest if a payment in respect to this Security were due on such date and, at the time such notification of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such additional interest remains in effect. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel chosen by the Company to the effect that there is a substantial probability that the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional interest on this Security.

(Fixed Rate)

The following terms apply to this Security, as and to the extent shown below:

Terms left blank or marked “N/A”, “No”, “None” or in a similar manner do not apply to this Security except as otherwise may be specified.

Whenever used in this Security, the terms specified above that apply to this Security have the meanings specified above, unless the context requires otherwise.  Other terms used in this

Security that are not defined herein but that are defined in the Indenture referred to in Section 1 on the reverse of this Security are used herein as defined therein.

2

3M Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited as the nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon London Branch, a common depositary for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear system, and Clearstream Banking, S.A., or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, at the Interest Rate shown above, annually on each Interest Payment Date set forth above from and after the date of this Security and at the Stated Maturity Date until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for.    Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Securities (or the Original Issue Date, if no interest has been paid), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.  This day count convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.  Each payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the last date to which interest has been paid, or made available for payment, or from the Original Issue Date if none has been paid, or made available for payment, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be.  Unless this Security is a Security which has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  If this Security has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor Security or, if no interest was paid on such Predecessor Security, from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, 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 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).  If interest is due at Maturity but on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid to the Person entitled to receive the principal hereof.  Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest either may 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 the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

3

The principal of this Security payable at the Maturity or earlier date of redemption shall be paid against presentation and surrender of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in London.  The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent as the office to be maintained by it where Security may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices to or demands upon the Company in respect of the Securities or the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof may be served.

Currency of Payment

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next paragraph.  The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country, except as provided in the next sentence.

If euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Economic and Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Securities will be made in U.S. dollars until euro is again available to the Company or so used.  The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted to U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined on the reverse hereof) on the second Business Day before that payment is due, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date that payment is due.  Any payment in respect of the Securities so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture.  Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

Payments Due on a Business Day

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to this Security.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security on a day (the “Specified Day”) that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day and no additional interest will accrue with respect to the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.  The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to this Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 113 of the Indenture.

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.

4

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

(b)                                 Paying Agent.  The Company has initially appointed the institution named on the face of this Security as Paying Agent to act as such agent with respect to this Security, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time.  The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment.  Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, Affiliates of any such agent or Affiliates of the Company.

All determinations made by the Paying Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company.  The Paying Agent shall not have any liability therefor.

(g)          any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the holder (i) owning or having owned, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote, (ii) receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the United States Internal Revenue Code or (iii) being a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States that is related to the Company by actual or constructive stock ownership;

For purposes of the foregoing, the holding of or the receipt of any payment with respect to a Security shall not constitute a connection between the Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or a person having power over, such Holder if such Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States.

6.                                      Transfer and Exchange

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.

Payments (including principal, premium and interest) and transfers with respect to Securities in certificated form may be executed at the office or agency maintained for such purpose in London (initially the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent) or, at the Company’s option, by check mailed to the holders thereof at the respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of the Securities, provided that all payments (including principal, premium and interest) on Securities in certificated form, for which the Holders thereof have given wire transfer instructions, will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof.  No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection with that registration may be required.

7.                                      Defeasance.

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 so specified on the face hereof, either or both of such provisions are applicable to this Security, as so specified.

8.                                      Remedies.

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.

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 premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

9.                                      Modification and Waiver.

Under the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series or any other series of Outstanding Securities may, on behalf of all Holders of that series, waive compliance by the Company with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, and waive any past Event of Default under the Indenture, but in each case only with respect to that series, except an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on and Securities of that series or an Event of Default under any provision of the Indenture which itself cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each Outstanding Security of that series.  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.

ADDENDUM

Optional Redemption

This Security will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at the Company’s option, at any time prior to  March 2, 2031 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Security), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Security or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), 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 Redemption Date on an annual basis (based on the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365 (or, if any of those days elapsed fall in a leap year, the sum of (x) the number of those days falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (y) the number of those days falling in a non-leap year divided by 365)) at the Reference Dealer Rate (as defined below), plus 20 basis points, plus in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

In addition, at any time on or after March 2, 2031 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Security), the Security will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Security plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

For the purposes of this “Optional Redemption” section,

“Reference Bond” means, in relation to the Reference Dealer Rate, at the discretion of the Reference Dealer, an European government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the fixed rate notes, or such other European government bond as the Reference Dealer, may, with the advice of three brokers of, or market makers in, European government bonds selected by the Reference Dealer, determine to be appropriate for determining the Reference Dealer Rate.

Notice of any redemption will be given to the Noteholders at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date.  Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on this Security called for redemption.

Redemption for Tax Reasons

If, in the written opinion of independent counsel chosen by the Company, there is a substantial probability that the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional interest on this Security as described on the reverse of this Security under “Payment of Additional Interest”, as a result of any of the following events occurring on or after May 23, 2016 (a) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, (b) any action taken by a taxing authority of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein affecting taxation, which action is generally applied or is taken with respect to the Company, (c) a decision rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, whether or not such decision was rendered with respect to the Company, (d) a private letter ruling or technical advice memorandum issued by the National Office of the United States Internal Revenue Service on substantially the same facts as those affecting the Company or (e) any change, amendment, application, interpretation or execution of the laws of the United States (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) shall have been officially proposed, which change, amendment, action, application, interpretation or execution would have effect after May 23, 2016 and the Company determines that such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures then available to the Company, then the Company may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holder for the time being of this Security, redeem this Security in whole, but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay such additional interest if a payment in respect to this Security were due on such date and, at the time such notification of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such additional interest remains in effect. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel chosen by the Company to the effect that there is a substantial probability that the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional interest on this Security.
