REVERSE OF NOTE
PALL CORPORATION
5.00% Senior Note due 2020
General
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (hereinafter called
the Securities) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June 15, 2010 (the Indenture), duly executed and delivered
by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the Trustee, which term includes any
successor trustee), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities. The
Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various
aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different
sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided.
This Note is one of a series designated as the 5.00% Senior Notes due 2020 of the Company, limited
in aggregate principal amount to $375,000,000; provided, however, that the Company,
without notice to or consent of the Holders, may issue additional Securities of this series and
thereby increase such principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions (except for
issue date, public offering price and, if applicable, the date from which interest accrues and the
first Interest Payment Date) and with the same CUSIP number as the Securities of this series.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, on
overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by this Note. If a payment date is
not a Business Day as defined in the Indenture at a Place of Payment, payment may be made at that
place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the
intervening period.
In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the 5.00% Senior
Notes due 2020 shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof and the interest accrued
hereon, if any, may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions that provide that the Company and the Trustee may enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of amending any provisions of the
Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series
to be affected with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series affected by such amendment voting separately;
provided that, without the consent of each Holder of the Securities of each series affected
thereby, an amendment may not: (i) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or
any installment of interest on, such Holders Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof
or the interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or extend the Stated
Maturity of, or change the Currency in which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on
such Security is denominated or payable, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue
Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
thereof, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the
Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or
materially adversely affect the economic terms of the Holders right to convert or exchange any
Security as may be provided in the Indenture; (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any supplemental
indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain
provisions of the Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in
the Indenture; (iii) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture governing amendments or waivers
with the consent of Holders except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
outstanding Security affected thereby; or (iv) modify, without the written consent of the Trustee,
the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee.
It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain conditions, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities at the time Outstanding may on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past Default or Event of
Default hereunder and its consequences except a Default in the payment of interest or any premium
on or the principal of the Securities of such series. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former
positions and rights under the Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note in the manner, at the place, at the respective times, at the
rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
The Notes will be issued in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of
$2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and are transferable and exchangeable at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in New York City, which shall initially
be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and in the manner and subject to the limitations
provided in the Indenture.
Optional Redemption
The Notes are redeemable prior to maturity at the Companys option, at any time in whole or
from time to time in part, by paying a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest
accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on
a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the date of
redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each holder of record of the Notes.
For the purposes of determining the redemption price, Treasury Rate means, with respect to
any redemption date, the rate per year equal to: (1) the yield, under the heading which represents
the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published
statistical release designated H.15(519) or any successor publication which is published weekly
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively
traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption Treasury
Constant Maturities, for the maturity corresponding to the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue;
provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the
Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the
applicable Comparable Treasury Issue shall 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 (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding
the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual
equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price
for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
equal to the related Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall
be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. Comparable Treasury Issue
means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term (Remaining Life) of the Notes to be redeemed that would
be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of
such Notes. Independent Investment Banker means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the
Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time. Comparable
Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer
than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and
any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid
and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a
percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding
such redemption date. Reference Treasury Dealer means (1) each of Banc of America Securities LLC
and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a
primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a Primary Treasury Dealer), in which
case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.
Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes, unless
the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes by giving irrevocable notice to the Trustee
in accordance with the Indenture, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company
to purchase all or a portion of such holders Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the
Change of Control Offer), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but not including the date of purchase (the Change of
Control Payment), subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive
interest due and owing on the relevant interest payment date.
Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs or,
at the Companys option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the
pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to
each holder of Notes to their addresses as set forth in the Register, with a copy to the Trustee,
which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among
other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from
the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the Change of Control
Payment Date). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control,
will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being
consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful (i) accept or
cause a third party to accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit or cause a third party to deposit with the paying
agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly
accepted together with an Officers Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
portions of Notes being repurchased.
The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes
if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with
the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes
properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase
any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of
default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment
on the Change of Control Payment Date.
The Company must comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change
of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will be
required to comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not
be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the
Notes by virtue of any such conflict.
For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a Change of Control Offer, Change of Control
means the occurrence of any of the following after the date of issuance of the Notes: (1) the
direct or indirect sale, lease, 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 Companys assets and the assets of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person or
group (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company
or one of the its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without
limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person or group (as
those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the Companys Voting Stock representing a majority of the
voting power of the Companys outstanding Voting Stock; (3) the Company consolidates with, or
merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the
Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Companys outstanding
Voting Stock or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash,
securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Companys Voting Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged
for, Voting Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving
Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which the majority
of the members of the board of directors of the Company cease to be Continuing Directors; or (5)
the adoption by the Companys shareholders of a plan relating to the Companys liquidation or
dissolution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control
under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a
holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding
company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the
Companys Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that
transaction no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a
holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.
Change of Control Triggering Event means, with respect to the Notes, (i) the rating of such
Notes is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the Trigger
Period) commencing on the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (b) the first
public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control), and
ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be
extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies
has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change), and (ii) such Notes are
rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any day during the Trigger Period;
provided that a Change of Control Trigger Event will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a
particular Change of Control if each Rating
Agency making the reduction in rating does not publicly announce or confirm or inform the
Trustee at the Companys 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 Change of
Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have
occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of
Control has actually been consummated.
For the purposes of the foregoing discussion, Continuing Director means, as of any date of
determination, any member of the Companys board of directors who (i) was a member of the Companys
board of directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes or (ii) was nominated for election or
elected or appointed to the Companys board of directors with the approval of a majority of the
Continuing Directors who were members of the Companys board of directors at the time of such
nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Companys
proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without
objection to such nomination). Investment Grade means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moodys (or
its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moodys) and a rating of BBB- or better by
S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P), and the equivalent investment
grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company
under the circumstances permitting the Company to select a replacement rating agency and in the
manner for selecting a replacement rating agency, in each case as set forth in the definition of
Rating Agency. Moodys means Moodys Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moodys
Corporation, and its successors. Person means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, business trust, association, joint-stock company, joint venture, trust,
incorporated or unincorporated organization or government or any agency or political subdivision
thereof. Rating Agency means each of Moodys and S&P; provided, that if any of Moodys or S&P
ceases to provide rating services to issuers or investors, the Company may appoint another
nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of Rule
15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act as a replacement for such Rating Agency; provided, that
the Company shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee. S&P means Standard & Poors
Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors. Voting
Stock of any specified Person as of any date means the capital stock of such Person that is at the
time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such Person.
Restrictive Covenants
Limitation on Liens. The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the
direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the Companys assets and the assets of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there
is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase substantially all, there is no precise,
established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the applicability of the
requirement that the Company offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the Companys assets and
the assets of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group (as those terms
are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) may be uncertain.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to
incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness that is secured by a mortgage, pledge, lien,
security interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or other similar encumbrance
(collectively, Mortgages) on any of its Principal Properties or any shares of stock or
Indebtedness of any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, without first effectively providing that the
Notes will be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, the incurred, issued, assumed or
guaranteed secured Indebtedness, for so long as such secured Indebtedness remains so secured.
This limitation on the incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee of any Indebtedness
secured by a Mortgage will not apply to, and there will be excluded from any secured Indebtedness
in any computation under this covenant, Indebtedness secured by: (i) Mortgages existing on the date
hereof; (ii) Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock or Indebtedness of, any entity
existing at the time the entity is merged into or consolidated with the Company or becomes a
Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) Mortgages in favor of the Company or any of its Domestic
Restricted Subsidiaries; (iv) Mortgages on property or on shares of stock or Indebtedness existing
at the time of acquisition thereof, including acquisitions through merger, consolidation or other
reorganization; or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or the
cost of construction, repair, alterations or development thereon; or to secure any Indebtedness
incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year after the later of the acquisition, the
completion of construction or the commencement of full operation of the property or within one year
after the acquisition of the shares or Indebtedness for the purpose of financing all or any part of
the purchase price thereof or construction thereon; provided that, if a commitment for the
financing is obtained prior to or within this one-year period, the applicable Mortgage will be
deemed to be included in this clause whether or not the Mortgage is created within this one-year
period; (v) Mortgages in favor of the United States, any state thereof, or any department, agency
or instrumentality or political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or in favor of any other
country or any political subdivision thereof; (vi) Mortgages required by any contract or statute in
order to permit the Company or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to perform any contract
or subcontract made with or at the request of the United States, any state thereof, or in favor of
any other country or political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing; (vii) any Mortgage resulting from the deposit of moneys or evidence of
Indebtedness in trust for the purpose of defeasing the Companys, or its Domestic Restricted
Subsidiaries, Indebtedness or secured Indebtedness, the net proceeds of which are used,
substantially concurrently with the funding thereof, and taking into consideration, among other
things, required notices to be given to the Holders of the outstanding Notes in connection with the
refunding, refinancing or repurchase thereof, and the required corresponding durations thereof, to
refund, refinance or repurchase all of the outstanding Notes, including the amount of all accrued
interest thereon and reasonable fees and expenses and premiums, if any, incurred by the Company or
any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries in connection therewith; (viii) easements,
rights-of-way, restrictions and other similar encumbrances which, in the aggregate, are not
material in amount and which do not in any case materially detract from the value of the property
subject thereto or materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of the Companys business or the
business of its Subsidiaries; (ix) Mortgages
for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges or levies which are not yet due and
payable; (x) any attachment or judgment Mortgage, unless the attachment or judgment it secures
shall not, within 60 days after the entry thereof, have been discharged or execution thereof stayed
pending appeal, or shall not have been discharged within 60 days after the expiration of any stay;
(xi) statutory Mortgages of landlords and Mortgages of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics,
materialmen and other similar Mortgages, in each case, incurred in the ordinary course of business
for sums not yet due and payable; (xii) Mortgages (other than any Mortgages imposed by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act) incurred or deposits made in the ordinary course of business (A) in
connection with workers compensation, unemployment insurance and other types of social security or
retirement benefits, or (B) to secure (or obtain letters of credit that secure) the performance of
tenders, statutory obligations, surety bonds, appeal bonds, bids, leases, performance bonds,
purchase, construction or sales contracts and other similar obligations, in each case not incurred
or made in connection with the borrowing of money, the obtaining of advances or credit or the
payment of the deferred purchase price of property; (xiii) bankers liens or set-off rights of
depositary banks or securities intermediaries arising in the ordinary course of business; and (xiv)
any extension, renewal or replacement, or successive extensions, renewals or replacements, of any
Mortgage referred to in this provision, so long as the extension, renewal or replacement Mortgage
is limited to all or a part of the same property, including any improvements on the property,
shares of stock or Indebtedness that secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced.
Notwithstanding anything mentioned above, the Company and any one or more of its Domestic
Restricted Subsidiaries may incur, issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by Mortgages
that would otherwise be subject to the above restrictions if the aggregate amount of the
Indebtedness secured by the Mortgages, together with the total discounted net amount of rent
required to be paid during the remaining term of any lease relating to sale and leaseback
transactions described below, does not at any time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any
Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to enter into a sale and leaseback transaction of any Principal
Property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) unless: (i) the Company or such Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled under the Indenture to issue, assume or guarantee
Indebtedness secured by a Mortgage upon such Principal Property at least equal in amount to the
Attributable Debt in respect of such transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes,
provided that such Attributable Debt shall thereupon be deemed to be Indebtedness subject to the
Limitation on Liens described above or (ii) within 180 days, an amount in cash equal to such
Attributable Debt is applied to (a) the retirement of Funded Debt ranking pari passu with the
Notes, (b) the retirement of the Notes or (c) the purchase, construction, development, expansion or
improvement of other comparable property, which amount shall not be less than the greater of (1)
the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal Property leased pursuant to the arrangement or (2)
the fair market value of the Principal Property so leased.
The restrictions described above do not apply to: (i) a sale and leaseback transaction between
the Company and a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or between Domestic
Restricted Subsidiaries, or that involves the taking back of a lease for a period of less than
three years, or (ii) if, at the time of the sale and leaseback transaction, after giving effect to
the transaction, the total discounted net amount of rent required to be paid during the remaining
term of any lease relating to sale and leaseback transactions (other than transactions permitted as
described above), plus all outstanding secured Indebtedness by Mortgages that would otherwise be
subject to the above restrictions above, does not exceed 15% of the Companys Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets.
For the purposes of the foregoing restrictive covenants, Attributable Debt means the present
value (discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of the lease) of the obligation of
a lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of any lease (including any period for
which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended).
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets means, calculated as of the date of the financial statements for
the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable, prior to the date of
determination, the aggregate amount of assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries,
less applicable reserves but including investments in non-consolidated entities, after deducting
therefrom: (i) all current liabilities, excluding any thereof which are by their terms extendible
or renewable at the option of the obligor thereon to a time more than 12 months after the time as
of which the amount thereof is being computed and excluding deferred income taxes; and (ii) all
goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expenses and other like
intangibles, all as set forth on the Companys consolidated balance sheet and computed in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary means (i) any Subsidiary which owns or leases, directly or indirectly, a
Principal Property; and (ii) any Subsidiary which owns, directly or indirectly, any stock or

performing similar functions) of such entity, and any partnership or joint venture if more than a
50% interest in the profits or capital thereof is owned by such person or one or more of its
subsidiaries or such person and one or more of its subsidiaries (unless such partnership can and

more of its subsidiaries).
