[REVERSE OF NOTE]

7.000% Senior Notes due 2041

References herein to the “Notes” mean the Company’s 7.000% Senior Notes due 2041 and not to any other series. Other capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and Schedule I attached hereto unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7.000% per annum from the date provided below until maturity and shall pay the additional interest, if any, in the applicable amount set forth in and pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 2(d) of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below (“Additional Interest”). Promptly after any change in the interest rate payable on this Note as provided in Section 2(d) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall provide the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the interest rate payable on the Note has changed in accordance with such section and setting forth the new interest rate payable on the Note and the effective date of such change, and shall provide notice of the same to Holders. The Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring whether Additional Interest is payable pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually, in arrears, on February 4 and August 4 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”), except that, if the maturity date of the Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will make the required payment of interest and principal on the immediately succeeding Business Day, as if it were made on the date the payment was due. This Note has been issued in exchange for a like aggregate principal amount of the 7.000% Senior Notes due 2041 originally issued by Lorillard Tobacco Company (the “Lorillard Tobacco Notes”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid on the Lorillard Tobacco Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of the Lorillard Tobacco Notes. The first Interest Payment Date shall be August 4, 2015. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest will not accrue as a result of any postponed or delayed payment in accordance with this paragraph.

2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 20 and July 20 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (except that interest payable at maturity of the Notes shall be paid to the same persons to whom principal of such Notes is payable), except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. 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.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 31, 2006, as amended and supplemented, among the Company, as issuer, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), and those set forth in Schedule I attached hereto. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture, the TIA and Schedule I for a statement of such terms.

5. Redemption at the Company’s Option. The Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes from time to time in accordance with Article 5 of the Indenture at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes being redeemed, and

(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes being redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a yield equal to (1) the applicable Treasury Rate, plus (2) 10 basis points,

plus, in each of case (a) and (b), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption.

Notice of such optional redemption shall be mailed, by first class mail, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations equal to or larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). All redemptions shall be effected pursuant to applicable depositary procedures.

6. Repurchase upon Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control

Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the payment 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 Company will 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 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 Change of Control Repurchase Event 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 hereunder by virtue of such conflict. On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the repurchase 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. The Company will 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 for an offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

7. No Sinking Fund. The Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture, including any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented by the Company and Guarantors, each when authorized by a Board Resolution, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of all series affected by such amendment or supplement, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or

the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of all series affected by such Default or waiver of compliance, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may supplement the Indenture or the Notes: (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Notes any property or assets; (b) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company; (c) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection or benefit of the Holders of the Notes, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in the Indenture as therein set forth; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such amendment or supplement may provide for a particular period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes to waive such an Event of Default; (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the Indenture or in any indenture supplemental thereto which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained in the Indenture or in any indenture supplemental thereto; (e) to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture or under any indenture supplemental thereto as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect; (f) to establish the form or forms or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by the Indenture; (g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one trustee; (h) to provide for uncertificated Securities and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose; (i) to comply with the requirements of the TIA; and (j) to add additional Guarantors with respect to the Notes.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

11. Defaults and Remedies. Any of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) constitutes an “Event of Default” under the Indenture: (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon Securities of any series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal on

Securities of any series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or (c) default in the payment of any sinking fund installment as and when the same shall become due and payable by the terms of Securities of any series; or (d) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company or the Guarantors in respect of Securities of any series (other than a covenant or agreement in respect of such Securities a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by first class mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or (e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or the Guarantors in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (f) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (g) any Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of the Indenture), or any Guarantee is declared in a judicial proceeding to be null and void, or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under the terms of the Indenture or its Guarantee; or (h) at any time as such security is required by the terms of the Indenture, any Security Document shall cease to be in full force and effect or shall cease to give the Collateral Agent the liens or any of the material rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby in favor of the Collateral Agent and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of at least 30 days after written notice to the Company by the Collateral Agent; or (i) any other Event of Default provided in Schedule I or in this Note.

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (i) above (if the Event of Default under clause (d) or (i) is with respect to less than all series of Securities then outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each such affected series then outstanding under the Indenture (voting as a single class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal of all Securities of all such affected series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (i) (if the Event of Default under clauses (d) or (i), as the case may be, is with respect to all series of Securities then outstanding), (e), (f), (g) or (h) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding under the Indenture (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders),

may declare the entire principal of all the Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company or any Guarantor shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of each such series to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of each such series, or of all the Securities, in each case voting as a single class, then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

12. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities, and may otherwise deal with the Company, as if it were not the Trustee.

13. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder or controlling person of the Company or the Trustee, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Trustee, respectively, under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

14. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent and in accordance with the Indenture.

15. Guarantees. This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, each Guarantor of the Indenture fully,

unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally, to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption, by repurchase, or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture, as provided in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders, and of the circumstances under which the Guarantees may be released.

16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

17. Additional Rights of Holders of Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2015, between the Company, the Guarantors listed on Schedule I thereto and the Dealer Managers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

18. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP or ISIN numbers or both numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers or both numbers in notices to the Holders of the Notes as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice to the Holders of the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

19. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement. Requests may be made to:

“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 other than the Company or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries;
