General Electric Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited, as nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon (London Branch) as common depositary for Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of SIX HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION EUROS (€650,000,000) on May 28, 2020 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest thereon from May 28, 2015 or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on February 28, May 28, August 28 and November 28 in each year, commencing

August 28, 2015 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of EURIBOR plus 30 basis points (0.300%) per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated. In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and interest will accrue to but excluding such Interest Payment Date, except that if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the applicable Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date with respect to this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, and interest, otherwise payable on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after the Stated Maturity or earlier Redemption Date, as applicable. The rights of Holders of beneficial interests in this Security to receive the payments of interest on such Security are subject to the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of the principal hereof or on a Redemption Date shall be payable to the Person to whom the principal of this Security is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date 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 of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities of this series may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

As set forth herein, the Company will pay additional amounts on this Security in certain circumstances.

A “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (i) which is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York or London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and (ii) on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system, or the TARGET2 system, or any successor thereto, operates.

The “Depositary” with respect to this Security shall mean a common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear.

The “Place of Payment” with respect to this Security shall be London, England.

A “Regular Record Date” means, with respect to any Interest Payment Date, the 15^thcalendar day preceding such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) or, if this

Security is represented by one or more Global Securities, the close of business on the business day (for this purpose a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business), in each case, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of London, England, which shall be initially the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon (London Branch), located at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payments of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided further, that all payments of principal and interest with respect to the Securities of this series represented by one or more Global Securities deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary, and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear shall be made through the facilities of the common depositary.

All payments on this Security will be made in euro; provided, that if on or after May 20, 2015, the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Security will be made in United States dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available “Market Exchange Rate” for euro, which shall mean the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of euros as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the United States Federal Reserve Board. The Market Exchange Rate most recently available on, or prior to, the second Business Day before the relevant determination date will be the basis for determining the equivalent of euro in the currency of the United States of America for any purpose under the Indenture, including for purposes of the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 101 of the Indenture. Any payment in respect of this Security so made in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Security or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.

A “TARGET System Day” is any day in which the TARGET2 System, or any successor thereto, is open for business and a day on which commercial banks are open for dealings in euro deposits in the London interbank market. With respect to Securities of this series in certificated form, the reference to “Business Day” will also mean a day on which banking institutions generally are open for business in the location of each office of a transfer agent, but only with respect to a payment or other action to occur at that office.

“Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as appointed and authorized by the Company pursuant to the paying and calculation agency agreement dated on or around May 28, 2015, until such time as the Company appoints a successor Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent will determine EURIBOR for each Interest Period on the second TARGET System Day prior to the first day of such Interest Period (the “Interest Determination Date”).

“euro and “€” means the lawful currency of the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted or that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union.

The interest rate on this Security will be reset quarterly on February 28, May 28, August 28, and November 28, beginning on August 28, 2015 (each an “Interest Reset Date”). However, if any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the applicable Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The initial interest period will be the period from and including May 28, 2015 to but excluding the first Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect during the initial interest period will be equal to EURIBOR plus 30 basis points (0.300%), determined two TARGET System Days prior to May 28, 2015.

After the initial interest period, the interest periods will be the periods from and including an Interest Reset Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Reset Date, except that the final interest period will be the period from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity to but excluding the Stated Maturity (each an “Interest Period”). The interest rate per annum for this Security in any Interest Period will be equal to EURIBOR plus 30 basis points (0.300%) (the “Interest Rate”), as determined by the Calculation Agent. The Interest Rate in effect for the 15 calendar days prior to any Redemption Date earlier than the Stated Maturity will be the Interest Rate in effect on the fifteenth calendar day preceding such earlier Redemption Date. The Interest Rate on the Securities of this series will be limited to the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application and shall not be less than 0.000%.

“EURIBOR,” with respect to any Interest Determination Date, will be the offered rate for deposits of euros having a maturity of three months that appears on “Reuters Page EURIBOR 01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date. If on an Interest Determination Date, such rate does not appear on the “Reuters Page EURIBOR 01” as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, or if “Reuters Page EURIBOR 01” is not available on such date, the Calculation Agent will obtain such rate from Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM.” If no offered rate appears on “Reuters Page EURIBOR 01” or Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM” on an Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR will be determined for such Interest Determination Date on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date at which deposits in euros are offered to prime banks in the euro-zone inter-bank market by the principal euro-zone office of each of four major banks in such market selected and identified by the Company (the “Reference Banks”), for a term of three months commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in euros in such market at such time. The Company will ensure the Calculation Agent is provided with the complete contact details of the relevant personnel at each of the Reference Banks that it will be required to contact in order to obtain the relevant Interest Rate. The Calculation Agent will request the principal euro-zone office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, EURIBOR for the related Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of such

quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, EURIBOR for such Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the euro- zone, selected and identified by the Company, for loans in euros to leading European banks, for a term of three months, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the then-existing EURIBOR rate will remain in effect for such Interest Period, or, if none, the Interest Rate will be the initial interest rate.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any Interest Rate for the Securities of this series will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all euro amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. The amount of interest payable in respect of each Security of this series will be calculated by applying the applicable Interest Rate for such Interest Period to the outstanding principal amount of such Securities, multiplying the product by the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and dividing by 360. Each calculation of the Interest Rate on the Securities of this series by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of this series. Upon the request of any Holder of the Securities of this series, the Calculation Agent will provide the Interest Rate then in effect and, if determined, the Interest Rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.

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.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof 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.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 9, 2012 (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 Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to €650,000,000; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series may be increased above such amount by a Board Resolution to such effect; provided further, that additional Securities of this series may not be issued under the same ISIN number and/or any other identifying number unless such additional Securities and the original Securities of this series are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and provided further, that additional Securities of this series will rank equally and ratably with this series in all respects, or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of those additional Securities.

Payment of Additional Amounts

Subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, the Company shall pay to or on account of a beneficial owner of a Security of this series who is not a United States Person (as defined below) such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that every net payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities of this series, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment, by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States, will not be less than the amount that would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding been required; provided, however, that the Company will not pay additional amounts for or on account of:

(a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Security of this series (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such person, if such person is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such person (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation, where required, by the Holder of any such Security for payment on a date more than 15 calendar days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the Holder or beneficial owner’s past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organisation;

(d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of any Security of this series;

(e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Security, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the Holder or beneficial owner (or any financial institution through which the Holder or beneficial owner holds any Security of this series or through which payment on such Security is made) to comply with any certification, information, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements (including entering into and complying with an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service) imposed pursuant to, or complying with any requirements imposed under an intergovernmental agreement entered into between the United States and the government of another country in order to implement the requirements of, Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on the date of issuance of the Securities of this series or any successor or amended version of these provisions, to the extent such successor or amended version is not materially more onerous to comply with than these provisions as enacted on such date;

(g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Company or as a direct or indirect affiliate of the Company;

(h) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be deducted or withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on a Security of this series upon presentation of such Security, where required, if such payment can be made without such deduction or withholding upon presentation of such Security, where required, to any other Paying Agent; or

(i) any combination of two or more of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h),

nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment on a Security of this series to a United States Alien Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the additional amounts

had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of such Security. Except as specifically provided above, no payment will be required for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any governmental or political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

As used herein, the term “United States” means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia, and the term “United States Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

The term “United States Alien Holder” means any beneficial owner of a Security of this series that is not, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organised in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if such trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States Person.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company will maintain a paying agent in a Member State of the European Union (if any) that will not require withholding or deduction of tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced to conform to, such European Council Directive.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States or of any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after May 28, 2015, the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described above under the heading “Payment of Additional Amounts” with respect to the Securities of this series, then the Company may at any time at the Company’s option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Securities of this series on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts on the Securities of this series to, but not including, the Redemption Date. If the Company exercises its option to redeem the Securities of this series pursuant to this paragraph, it shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that it is entitled to redeem the Securities of this series and an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that the circumstances described in this paragraph exist.

Unless the Company defaults on the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, Section 1103 of the Indenture shall apply, provided that if this Security is represented by one or more Global Securities, beneficial interests in this Security shall be selected for redemption by Euroclear and Clearstream in accordance with their respective standard procedures therefor, provided further, however, that no Securities of this series of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. For purposes of the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions, German government securities shall be used instead of United States government securities in respect of payments due in euros on the Securities of this series.

If an Event of Default with respect to the 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.

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 all 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 principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, treated as one class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults 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.

Securities of this series 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 reasonable indemnity, the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee 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 interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for 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 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 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Security Registrar 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.

Except in the limited circumstances described in Section 305 of the Indenture, this Security shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and a common depositary for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream shall be the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. Clause 2(A)(iii) of the eighth paragraph of Section 305 of the Indenture shall be inapplicable to this Security.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. 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.

Notices to Holders of the Securities of this series will be sent by mail or email to the registered Holders, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the applicable depositary.

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

THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

General Electric Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited, as nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon (London Branch) as common depositary for Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION EUROS (€1,250,000,000) on May 26, 2023 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest thereon from May 28, 2015 or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on May 26 in each year, commencing May 26, 2016 (the “Interest Payment Date”),

at the rate of 1.250% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The amount of interest payable for any period shall 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 this Security (or May 28, 2015 if no interest has been paid on this Security), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Security is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. If the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date with respect to this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next succeeding Business Day. The rights of Holders of beneficial interests in this Security to receive the payments of interest on such Security are subject to the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of the principal hereof or on a Redemption Date shall be payable to the Person to whom the principal of this Security is payable.

General Electric Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited, as nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon (London Branch) as common depositary for Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION EUROS (€1,250,000,000) on May 28, 2027 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest thereon from May 28, 2015 or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually on May 28 in each year, commencing May 28, 2016 (the “Interest Payment Date”),

at the rate of 1.875% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The amount of interest payable for any period shall 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 this Security (or May 28, 2015 if no interest has been paid on this Security), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Security is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. If the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date with respect to this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next succeeding Business Day. The rights of Holders of beneficial interests in this Security to receive the payments of interest on such Security are subject to the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.

Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date 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 of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities of this series may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

As set forth herein, the Company will pay additional amounts on this Security in certain circumstances.

The “Depositary” with respect to this Security shall mean a common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear.

The “Place of Payment” with respect to this Security shall be London, England.
