(iii) the Corporation owns or acquires other property which will be made a Principal Property and is determined by the Board of Directors to have a fair value equal to or greater than the Attributable Debt incurred;

(iv) within 270 days of the effective date of the lease, the Corporation makes Capital Expenditures with respect to a Principal Property in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Attributable Debt incurred; or

and Floating Rate Notes to repurchase all or, at the election of such Holder, any part (equal to a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall pay any interest installment due on an Interest Payment Date which occurs on or prior to the repurchase date to the Holders of the Notes of the applicable Series as of the close of business on the applicable record date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

(b) The Corporation shall send a notice to each Holder of the applicable Notes by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred, or at its option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control. The notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and shall describe the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and shall irrevocably offer (subject to consummation of the Change of Control Repurchase Event) to repurchase all of such Notes on the repurchase date specified in the notice. Subject to the following sentence, the repurchase date shall be at least 30 days but no more than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). If the notice is sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, the notice shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the repurchase date specified in the notice. Holders electing to have their Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Paying Agent shall promptly send to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee, upon the Corporation’s execution and delivery of the related Notes, shall promptly authenticate and send (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note of the same Series equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of any Notes properly tendered.

(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Corporation shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes of the applicable Series that have not been validly withdrawn; (ii) on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (other than the Corporation or an Affiliate of the Corporation) money sufficient to pay the required payment for all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes of such Series that have not been validly withdrawn; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the repurchased Notes of such Series, accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of repurchased Notes of such Series. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Corporation any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Corporation in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the repurchase price of all Notes to be repurchased.

(d) The Corporation shall comply 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 of either Series as a

result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.3 or the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

(e) The Corporation shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Section 4.3 and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn by the Holders thereof under its offer.

(f) If Notes tendered in a Change of Control Offer are paid or if the Corporation has deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the repurchase price of all Notes to be repurchased, on and after the repurchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes tendered and not withdrawn in a Change of Control Offer (regardless of whether certificates for such Notes are actually surrendered). If any Security tendered in a Change of Control Offer shall not be so paid upon surrender for repurchase because of the failure of the Corporation to comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 4.3, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the repurchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided in such Security.

This Section 4.3 is one of the covenants eligible for the provisions of Section 8.3 of the Indenture.

Section 4.4 Maintenance of Office or Agency. In the event that certificated Notes of either Series are outstanding, then, for so long as such certificated Notes are outstanding, the Corporation shall maintain in the United States, an office or agency where certificated Notes of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment and where certificated Notes of each such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations.

Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2020

MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS, INC.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) Interest. Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, or its successor (the “Corporation”), promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Floating Rate Note at the rate determined below, and at the same rate on any overdue principal or overdue installment of interest to the extent lawful. This Floating Rate Note shall bear interest in United States dollars at a per annum floating rate, reset quarterly for each Interest Period, equal to three-month LIBOR for U.S. dollars, determined on the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period, plus 0.650% (or 65 basis points). Interest on this Floating Rate Note shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 22, May 22, August 22 and November 22, commencing August 22, 2017 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), except as provided in Section 10.7 of the Indenture with respect to an Interest Payment Date that is not a Business Day. Interest on this Floating Rate Note shall accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including May 22, 2017. The interest rate on this Floating Rate Note shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law or other applicable state law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

The amount of interest for each day that this Floating Rate Note is outstanding (the “daily interest amount”) shall be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the outstanding principal amount of this Floating Rate Note on such day. The amount of interest to be paid on this Floating Rate Note for any Interest Period shall be calculated by adding the daily interest amounts for each day in such Interest Period.

The interest rate and amount of interest to be paid on this Floating Rate Note for each Interest Period shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Corporation and the Holders of this Floating Rate Note.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on this Floating Rate Note shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Floating Rate Note shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

Upon request from any Holder of this Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent shall provide the interest rate in effect for this Floating Rate Note for the current Interest Period and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest Period.

---

(2) Method of Payment. The Corporation shall pay interest on this Floating Rate Note on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are Holders of this Floating Rate Note at the close of business on the 15th calendar day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such 15th calendar day is a Business Day, even if this Floating Rate Note is cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. This Floating Rate Note shall be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose within the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York; provided that (a) payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Securities and (b) at the option of the Corporation, payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date may be made by check mailed to a Holder’s address. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Any payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Floating Rate Note prior to the Stated Maturity Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Floating Rate Note, whether or not noted hereon. The amount due and payable at the maturity or earlier redemption or repurchase of this Floating Rate Note shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Floating Rate Note at an office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes.

(3) Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. Initially the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. The Corporation may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Calculation Agent for any reason (and shall change the Calculation Agent if it shall be unable or unwilling to act or if it shall fail duly to establish three-month LIBOR for any Interest Period), without notice to any Holder. The Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity, except in the case of the Calculation Agent, where the Corporation may appoint another Person which is a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as such.

(4) Indenture. The Corporation issued this Floating Rate Note under an Indenture dated as of May 22, 2017 (the “Indenture”) as supplemental by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 22, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between the Corporation and the Trustee. The terms of this Floating Rate Note include those stated in the Indenture (as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture) and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). To the extent the provisions of this Floating Rate Note are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture (as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture), the Indenture (as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture) shall govern. This Floating Rate Note is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Floating Rate Notes issued on the Issue Date of the Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Corporation initially limited to $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The Indenture (as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture) permits the issuance of additional Floating Rate Notes subject to compliance with certain conditions.

The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Corporation may require a Holder to pay any taxes and expenses required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Corporation need not exchange or register the transfer of any Floating Rate Note or portion of a Floating Rate Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Floating Rate Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Floating Rate Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(6) Change of Control Repurchase Event. This Floating Rate Note shall be subject to repurchase at the option of Holders under the circumstances specified in Section 4.3 of the Supplemental Indenture.

(7) Persons Deemed Owners. The Holder of this Floating Rate Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(8) Trustee Dealings with the Corporation. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Corporation or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Corporation or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(9) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee or stockholder, past, present or future, of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of the Corporation under the Floating Rate Notes, the Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee or stockholder.

No recourse may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Corporation on the Floating Rate Notes or under the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture or any related documents, any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Trustee in its individual capacity, or (ii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee, agent, successor or assign of the Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iii) any holder of equity in the Trustee.

Each Holder of Floating Rate Notes by accepting a Floating Rate Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Floating Rate Notes.
