UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN CERTIFICATED FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (THE “DEPOSITARY”) TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $500,000,000 (FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS) on May 7, 2020, and to pay interest thereon from May 7, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate per annum of 3.000%, semi-annually in arrears on May 7 and November 7 of each year (these dates are called “Interest Payment Dates”), beginning on November 7, 2018, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
If any Interest Payment Date is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such Interest Payment Date to the next succeeding business day.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 22 and October 23 (each, a “Record Date”) before the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal, premium (if any), and interest, including payment made upon any redemption or repurchase, with respect to this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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; provided, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed or delivered to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee at a bank located in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.
As used herein, “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.
For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated from the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 7, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.
If the maturity date or a date fixed for redemption or repurchase is not a business day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled maturity date or such date fixed for redemption or repurchase, and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after the scheduled maturity date or such redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding business day.
Additional provisions of this Note are contained on the reverse hereof, and such provisions shall have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee for the Notes by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of March 6, 2015, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified pursuant to Section 301 thereof in respect of the Notes by that certain Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated as of the date hereof (collectively, as modified, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Note are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.
As provided in the Indenture, 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, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 3.000% Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 on May 7, 2018.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. The additional notes may only be issued if they would be fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $250,000,000 (TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS) on May 7, 2020, and to pay interest thereon from May 7, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate per annum of 3.000%, semi-annually in arrears on May 7 and November 7 of each year (these dates are called “Interest Payment Dates”), beginning on November 7, 2018, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
If any Interest Payment Date is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such Interest Payment Date to the next succeeding business day.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 22 and October 23 (each, a “Record Date”) before the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal, premium (if any), and interest, including payment made upon any redemption or repurchase, with respect to this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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; provided, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed or delivered to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee at a bank located in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.
As used herein, “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.
For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated from the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 7, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.
If the maturity date or a date fixed for redemption or repurchase is not a business day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled maturity date or such date fixed for redemption or repurchase, and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after the scheduled maturity date or such redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding business day.
Additional provisions of this Note are contained on the reverse hereof, and such provisions shall have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee for the Notes by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of March 6, 2015, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified pursuant to Section 301 thereof in respect of the Notes by that certain Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated as of the date hereof (collectively, as modified, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Note are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.
As provided in the Indenture, 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, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 3.000% Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 on May 7, 2018.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. The additional notes may only be issued if they would be fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Change of Control

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $500,000,000 (FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS) on May 7, 2023, and to pay interest thereon from May 7, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate per annum of 3.625%, semi-annually in arrears on May 7 and November 7 of each year (these dates are called “Interest Payment Dates”), beginning on November 7, 2018, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
If any Interest Payment Date is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such Interest Payment Date to the next succeeding business day.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 22 and October 23 (each, a “Record Date”) before the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.
As used herein, “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.
For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated from the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 7, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.
If the maturity date or a date fixed for redemption or repurchase is not a business day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled maturity date or such date fixed for redemption or repurchase, and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after the scheduled maturity date or such redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding business day.
Additional provisions of this Note are contained on the reverse hereof, and such provisions shall have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place.

(Reverse of Note)
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of March 6, 2015, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified pursuant to Section 301 thereof in respect of the Notes by that certain Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated as of the date hereof (collectively, as modified, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Note are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.
As provided in the Indenture, 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, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 3.625% Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 on May 7, 2018.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. The additional notes may only be issued if they would be fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.
- 1 -
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
| • | accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; |
| • | 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 |
| • | 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 purchased. |
The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The redemption price will be equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (such price expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

If any Interest Payment Date is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such Interest Payment Date to the next succeeding business day.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 22 and October 23 (each, a “Record Date”) before the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal, premium (if any), and interest, including payment made upon any redemption or repurchase, with respect to this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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; provided, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed or delivered to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee at a bank located in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.
As used herein, “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.
For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated from the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 7, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.
If the maturity date or a date fixed for redemption or repurchase is not a business day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled maturity date or such date fixed for redemption or repurchase, and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after the scheduled maturity date or such redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding business day.
Additional provisions of this Note are contained on the reverse hereof, and such provisions shall have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee for the Notes by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(Reverse of Note)
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of March 6, 2015, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified pursuant to Section 301 thereof in respect of the Notes by that certain Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated as of the date hereof (collectively, as modified, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Note are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.
As provided in the Indenture, 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, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 3.625% Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 on May 7, 2018.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. The additional notes may only be issued if they would be fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
- 1 -
| • | accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; |
| • | 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 |
| • | 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 purchased. |
The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, 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 properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (as defined below) or group of related persons for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (a “Group”) other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the approval by the holders of the Company’s common stock of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company (whether or not otherwise in compliance with the provisions of the indenture); (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Person or Group becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s voting stock; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

At any time prior to April 7, 2023, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time and from time to time on at least 30 days’, but not more than 60 days’, prior notice (with written notice to the Trustee no less than 15 days (or such shorter period as agreed by the Trustee) prior to the sending of such redemption notice in the event the Trustee is engaged by the Company to send such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense). The redemption price will be equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

“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 such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (such price expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
On or after April 7, 2023, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). On or before the redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or set aside, segregate and hold in trust (if the Company is acting as paying agent), funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and (unless the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the Notes or portions of Notes for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(a)(4) or Section 501(a)(5) of the Indenture occurs with respect to the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

If any Interest Payment Date is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such Interest Payment Date to the next succeeding business day.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 22 and October 23 (each, a “Record Date”) before the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.
As used herein, “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.
For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. The additional notes may only be issued if they would be fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
- 1 -
| • | accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; |
| • | 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 |
| • | 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 purchased. |
The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $200,000,000 (TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS) on May 7, 2028, and to pay interest thereon from May 7, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate per annum of 4.125%, semi-annually in arrears on May 7 and November 7 of each year (these dates are called “Interest Payment Dates”), beginning on November 7, 2018, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
If any Interest Payment Date is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such Interest Payment Date to the next succeeding business day.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 22 and October 23 (each, a “Record Date”) before the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.
As used herein, “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.
For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated from the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 7, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.
If the maturity date or a date fixed for redemption or repurchase is not a business day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled maturity date or such date fixed for redemption or repurchase, and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after the scheduled maturity date or such redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding business day.
Additional provisions of this Note are contained on the reverse hereof, and such provisions shall have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee for the Notes by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of March 6, 2015, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified pursuant to Section 301 thereof in respect of the Notes by that certain Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated as of the date hereof (collectively, as modified, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Note are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.
As provided in the Indenture, 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, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 4.125% Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $700,000,000 on May 7, 2018.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. The additional notes may only be issued if they would be fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $300,000,000 (THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS) on May 7, 2048, and to pay interest thereon from May 7, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at a rate per annum of 4.625%, semi-annually in arrears on May 7 and November 7 of each year (these dates are called “Interest Payment Dates”), beginning on November 7, 2018, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
If any Interest Payment Date is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such Interest Payment Date to the next succeeding business day.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 22 and October 23 (each, a “Record Date”) before the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at the maturity date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.
As used herein, “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.
For a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual interest period, interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated from the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 7, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date.
If the maturity date or a date fixed for redemption or repurchase is not a business day, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled maturity date or such date fixed for redemption or repurchase, and no interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after the scheduled maturity date or such redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding business day.
Additional provisions of this Note are contained on the reverse hereof, and such provisions shall have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee for the Notes by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(Reverse of Note)
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of March 6, 2015, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as modified pursuant to Section 301 thereof in respect of the Notes by that certain Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated as of the date hereof (collectively, as modified, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Note are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.
As provided in the Indenture, 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, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 4.625% Notes due 2048 (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 on May 7, 2018.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. The additional notes may only be issued if they would be fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
- 1 -
| • | accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; |
| • | 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 |
| • | 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 purchased. |
The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of the Indenture and the Notes and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions. In our examination, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.
