4.500% Senior Notes due 2047

 

This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Johnson Controls International plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture for the Company’s debt securities, dated as of December 28, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and among the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 7, 2017 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee.  By the terms of the Base Indenture, the Securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture.  This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a “Note,” and collectively, the “Notes”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Second Supplemental Indenture, as applicable.

 

1.                          Interest.  The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at an annual rate of 4.500%.  The Company will pay interest semi-annually on February 15  and August 15 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”).  If any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest shall be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date to the date of such payment on the next Business Day.  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or [February 7, 2017], if no interest has been paid).  Interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

2.                          Method of Payment.  The Company will pay the interest installment on this Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for the Notes to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities hereto) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Note for such interest installment.  In the event that this Note or a portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on this Note will be paid upon presentation and surrender of this Note as provided in the Indenture.  The principal of and the interest on this Note shall be payable in Dollars at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture.

 

3.                          Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Security Registrar.  Initially, the Trustee will act as paying agent, transfer agent and Security Registrar.  The Company may change or appoint any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent without prior notice to any Noteholder.  The

 



 

Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as paying agent, transfer agent or Security Registrar in respect of any Notes.

 

4.                          Indenture.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect from time to time.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Noteholders are referred to the Indenture and TIA for a statement of such terms.  The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof as the “4.500% Senior Notes due 2047”, initially limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

 

The Company will furnish to any Noteholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture.  Requests may be made to: Johnson Controls International plc, One Albert Quay, Cork, Ireland.

 

5.                          Optional Redemption.  The Notes will be subject to redemption in accordance with the terms of Section 1.02(8) of the Second Supplemental Indenture and Articles III and XIV of the Base Indenture.  If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as provided in the Indenture, interest on such Notes or portions of Notes will cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable redemption price and accrued interest (if any) with respect to any such Note or portion thereof.  The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

 

6.                          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 on or prior to the 30th day after the Change of Control Triggering Event 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 Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer in accordance with Section 4.08 of the Base Indenture.

 

7.                          Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without interest coupons in the denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to and in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Base Indenture, the Notes may be presented for exchange or for registration of transfer at the office of the Security Registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose.

 

8.                          Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to the due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, any applicable paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any applicable paying agent, transfer agent or Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

9.                          [Reserved].

 

10.                   [Reserved].

 



 

11.                   Defaults and Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of the Notes, in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company, and to the Trustee if given by such Noteholders, may declare the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary.

 

12.                   Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Notes.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must either eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign.  Any Authenticating Agent, paying agent, transfer agent or Security Registrar may do the same with like rights and duties.  The Trustee must also comply with Section 7.08 of the Base Indenture.

 

13.                   No Recourse Against Others.  No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture, or of any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor Person, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that the Indenture, the Notes and the obligations issued hereunder and thereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, shareholders, officers or directors as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor Person, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, shareholder, officer or director as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of the Notes.

 

14.                   Discharge of Indenture.  The Indenture contains certain provisions pertaining to discharge and defeasance, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth herein.
