The delivery to the Fiscal Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream of such a certificate may be relied upon by the Company and the Fiscal Agent as conclusive evidence that a related certificate or certificates substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E-1, in the case of the 2009 Notes, or Exhibit E-2, in the case of the 2013 Notes, and dated not earlier than 15 days prior to the date of the related certificate of Euroclear or Clearstream has or have been delivered (as provided in United States Treas.

addition by the Fiscal Agent. The aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note that has from time to time been endorsed on such Schedule I to the applicable Global Note is referred to herein as the “Certified Amount.” The applicable Temporary Global Note’s remaining principal amount shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed. Until the entire principal amount of the applicable Temporary Global Note has been so exchanged in full, holders of beneficial interests in that Temporary Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as holders of beneficial interests in the applicable Global Note for which that Temporary Global Note may be exchanged, except that neither the holder nor the beneficial owners of that Temporary Global Note shall be entitled to receive payments of principal of, or interest or any additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Conditions (if any) on, that Temporary Global Note except as provided in Section 1(e)(iii) hereof and Exhibit A-1, in the case of the 2009 Notes, or Exhibit A-2, in the case of the 2013 Notes, attached hereto.

(vi) If any Global Note has been exchanged for the applicable Definitive Notes, holders of beneficial interests in the applicable Temporary Global Note attempting to exchange their interests in that Temporary Global Note for interests in the applicable Global Note pursuant to the terms of that Temporary Global Note shall instead receive the applicable Definitive Notes from the Fiscal Agent, provided that the provisions of the applicable Temporary Global Note and the relevant provisions of Section 1(d)(iii) and (iv) hereof shall apply mutatis mutandis to any such exchange of interests in the applicable Temporary Global Note for the applicable Definitive Notes as if all references therein to Global Notes and beneficial interests in Global Notes were references to Definitive Notes.

(vii) Definitive Notes shall be issued only in denominations of €50,000 (with Coupons attached). Any beneficial interest in a Global Note that is not €50,000 or an integral multiple of €50,000 (x) may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note and (y) must be held as a beneficial interest in a Global Note, or if

that amount of beneficial interest is not permitted by Euroclear or Clearstream, increased or decreased to an integral multiple of €50,000 or such amount as may be held as a beneficial interest in a Global Note by Euroclear or Clearstream.

(e) (i) Each Global Note will provide that payments of principal of, and interest and Additional Amounts (if any) on, any portion of the Notes which is represented by that Global Note will be made in accordance with the Conditions. Payments to each of Euroclear and Clearstream in respect of the portion of each Global Note held for their respective accounts will be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Notes; provided that payment will only be made to Euroclear and Clearstream in respect of the Certified Amount (determined at the opening of business on the Payment Date) and will only be made outside the United States, and will not be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States.

(ii) Each of Euroclear and Clearstream has undertaken to credit such amounts received by it in respect of each Global Note on the relevant Payment Date to the accounts of those persons appearing in their respective records as owners of beneficial interests in that Global Note.

(iii) In the event that any Payment Date shall occur at a time when any portion of the principal amount of any Temporary Global Note has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the applicable Global Note, payments of principal of, and interest and Additional Amounts (if any) on, that portion of the principal amount of the applicable Temporary Global Note that has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the applicable Global Note shall be paid outside the United States and shall not be transferred to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States, by the Company to the Fiscal Agent on or before such Payment Date and shall be held by the Fiscal Agent for payment to Euroclear or Clearstream upon such exchange (whereupon Euroclear and Clearstream have undertaken to credit such amount to the account of the owner(s) of the related portion(s)).

(iv) Interest payable after the delivery of any Definitive Note may be collected only upon presentation of the Coupons attached thereto as they mature.

(f) Any exchange pursuant to Section 1(d) hereof shall be made free of charge to the holder and the beneficial owners of the applicable Temporary and Global Notes and to the holders of the applicable Definitive Notes issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the applicable Global Note as provided above.

(g) Upon return of the entire principal amount of any Temporary Global Note to the Fiscal Agent in exchange for beneficial interests in the applicable Global Note, the Fiscal Agent shall cancel the applicable Temporary Global Note by perforation or by affixing an appropriate stamp, and shall forthwith destroy such Temporary Global Note on behalf of the Company and confirm to the Company that it has done so.

The signature of any person who shall hold any office with the Company at the date of signature may be used notwithstanding that when any Note shall be delivered any such person shall have ceased to hold such office. The Company covenants that each such Note, when issued, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles).

(j) The Company may, (x) without the consent of the holders of the 2009 Notes and 2009 Coupons, issue from time to time additional 2009 Notes pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement having the same terms and conditions (save for their issue date and the amount of the first payment of interest therein) which will be treated as a single series with the 2009 Notes offered hereby and (y) without the consent of the holders of the 2013 Notes and 2013 Coupons, issue from time to time additional 2013 Notes pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement having the same terms and conditions (save for their issue date and the amount of the first payment of interest therein) which will be treated as a single series with the 2013 Notes offered hereby.

(g) The Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agents and the Company shall (except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law) notwithstanding any notice to the contrary be entitled to treat the bearer of any Note or Coupon as the absolute owner thereof and shall not be liable for so doing.

Any such successor Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent will be located outside the United States.

SECTION 15. Permitted Consolidations of the Company.

(a) If at any time there shall be a merger, consolidation or sale of assets to which any of the covenants contained in Section 10 of the applicable Conditions are applicable, then in any such event the successor or assuming corporation referred to therein will promptly deliver to the Fiscal Agent:

(i) A certificate signed by an executive officer of such successor or assuming corporation stating that as of the time immediately after the effective date of any such transaction the covenants of the Company contained in Section 10 of the applicable Conditions have been complied with; and

(ii) A written opinion of legal counsel (who may be an employee of or counsel to the successor or assuming corporation) stating that in such counsel’s opinion such covenants have been complied with and that any instrument or instruments executed in the performance of such covenants comply with the requirements thereof.

In case of any such merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance, such successor or assuming corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein and in the applicable Conditions as the Company; the Company shall thereupon be relieved of any further obligation or liability hereunder or upon the applicable Notes and the Company as the predecessor corporation may, but shall not be required to, thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Any such successor or assuming corporation may cause to be signed and may issue, either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the applicable Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been executed on behalf of the Company and delivered to the Fiscal Agent; and upon the order of such successor or assuming corporation, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Agreement prescribed, the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and shall deliver any Notes which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Fiscal Agent for authentication, and any Notes which such successor or assuming corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Fiscal Agent for that purpose. All the 2009 Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the 2009 Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such 2009 Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. All the 2013 Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the 2013 Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such 2013 Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

In case of any merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in any Notes thereafter to be issued as may be deemed appropriate by the successor or assuming corporation.

(b) The Fiscal Agent, subject to the provisions of Sections 10(b) and 10(c) hereof, may rely on the documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement by any successor or assuming corporation pursuant to this Section 15 as conclusive evidence that any such merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance complies with the provisions of this section and the applicable Notes.

SECTION 16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and the Notes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

(b) The Company and the Fiscal Agent hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or any Notes. The Company and the Fiscal Agent irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Company in the manner specified in the following paragraph or as otherwise permitted by law.

(c) As long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company will at all times have an authorized agent in the City of New York, upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Notes. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company shall to the extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company has appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any legal action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011 (or at such other address or, at the office of such other authorized agent as the Company may designate by written notice to the Fiscal Agent), with a copy

to the Company at the address for notices set forth in Section 13 hereof; provided that failure to deliver any such copy to the Company shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such service of process.

SECTION 17. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be effective upon receipt of original, faxed or e-mailed copies of such counterparts executed by the Company, the Fiscal Agent and the principal Paying Agent.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE 2009 NOTES

The €300,000,000 3.50% Notes due January 30, 2009 (“2009 Notes”) have been issued under a Fiscal Agency Agreement (“Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated as of February 1, 2006, by and between Fortune Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as fiscal agent (“Fiscal Agent”). The Notes are limited to €300,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will bear interest from and including February 1, 2006 at the rate of 3.50% per annum, payable annually in arrear on January 30, of each year (an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing January 30, 2007 until the principal is paid or made available for payment. If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day and no additional interest shall be payable on account of such delayed payment. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is both a day on which commercial banks are open for business in the relevant place of presentation and a day on which the Trans-European Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open. In the event that interest is to be calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

The 2009 Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, and rank pari passu without preference among themselves and with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. Neither the Fiscal Agency Agreement nor the 2009 Notes limit other indebtedness or securities that may be incurred or issued by the Company; nor will they contain other restrictive financial covenants or similar restrictions on the Company, except as described in Section 7 under “Certain Covenants of the Company.”

SECTION 1. Delivery, Form and Denomination.

Each 2009 Note and 2009 Coupon will carry substantially the following legend:

The sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) referred to in such legend provide that United States persons (as defined in the Code), with certain exceptions, will not be entitled to deduct any loss, and will not be entitled to capital gains treatment of any gain, on any sale, disposition or payment of principal of the Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. Title to the 2009 Notes will pass by delivery. The holder of a 2009 Note or any 2009 Coupon will be treated, to the extent permitted by law, by the Company, the Fiscal Agent, and all of their agents for all purposes as the owner of such 2009 Note or 2009 Coupon.

SECTION 2. Payments and Paying Agents.

Principal of the 2009 Notes will be payable against presentation and surrender of such 2009 Notes, and, in the case of 2009 Definitive Notes, interest on any 2009 Definitive Notes will be payable against presentation and surrender of the 2009 Coupons appertaining thereto as they severally mature, in either case, at the designated offices of such Paying Agents outside the United States and its possessions as the Company may appoint from time to time pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Payments of interest due in respect of any 2009 Notes other than on presentation and surrender of matured 2009 Coupons shall be made only against presentation and either surrender or endorsement (as appropriate) of the relevant 2009 Note. Payments with respect to the 2009 Notes and the 2009 Coupons appertaining thereto will be made only in euro, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by euro check or, at the option of a holder, by transfer to a euro denominated account maintained by such holder with a bank outside the United States and its possessions. No payment with respect to any such 2009 Note or 2009 Coupon will be made at the office of the Fiscal Agent or at the offices of any Paying Agent appointed by the Company in the United States or its possessions, nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account, or by mail to an address, in the United States or its possessions.

In the event that any Interest Payment Date shall occur at a time when any portion of the principal amount of the 2009 Temporary Global Note (as defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement) has not been exchanged (pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Temporary Global Note) for beneficial interests in the 2009 Global Note (as defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement), payments of principal of, and interest and Additional

C1-2

Amounts (if any), on that portion of the principal amount of the 2009 Temporary Global Note that has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the 2009 Global Note shall be held by the Fiscal Agent for payment to any holders of the 2009 Temporary Global Note only upon such exchange.

The Company has initially appointed JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London, as the Paying Agent. The Company agrees that, so long as any of the 2009 Notes are outstanding, it will maintain Paying Agents only outside the United States and its possessions, and so long as the 2009 Notes are listed on the London Stock Exchange and the rules of the London Stock Exchange shall so require, it will maintain a Paying Agent in London for payments with respect to 2009 Definitive Notes and the 2009 Coupons appertaining thereto and where the 2009 Definitive Notes may be presented or surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the 2009 Notes, the 2009 Coupons, and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, may be served. The Company is under no obligation to maintain a listing for the 2009 Notes on the London Stock Exchange (or any other exchange), and may cause the 2009 Notes to be delisted in any circumstances, among others, where the continued listing would be unduly burdensome in the opinion of the Company.

The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time to vary or terminate any appointment as Paying Agent or other agent and to appoint any other Paying Agents or other agencies in such other places outside the United States and its possessions as they may deem appropriate and shall give prompt notice thereof in the manner described below in the section entitled “Notices.”

The Company will also maintain at all times an office or agency in London solely for the purpose of receiving notices and demands (other than presentation of the 2009 Notes or 2009 Coupons or demands for payment) from the holders of the 2009 Notes and the 2009 Coupons but not for the purpose of making payments in respect of the 2009 Notes or the 2009 Coupons. The Company has initially appointed the office of the Fiscal Agent in London for the purpose of receiving notices and demands (other than demands for payment) from the holders of the 2009 Notes and 2009 Coupons.

Any monies paid by the Company to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the principal of, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any 2009 Notes and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise) shall then be repaid to the Company upon its written request, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Company may have to pay the principal of, and interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any 2009 Note or 2009 Coupon as the same shall become due.

C1-3

SECTION 3. Redemption.

Except as provided below, the 2009 Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. Unless previously redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the 2009 Notes will be payable at par on January 30, 2009 or such earlier date on which the same shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2009 Notes; provided that, if the maturity date of the 2009 Notes is not a Business Day, the 2009 Notes will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue for the period from January 30, 2009 to such payment date).

If: (i) at any time the Company becomes or would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described below under the heading “Payment of Additional Amounts” as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in or amendment to an official application, interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of the Final Prospectus, then the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2009 Notes, as a whole but not in part, upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ irrevocable notice at 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date fixed for redemption and Additional Amounts, if any, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the 2009 Notes then due. Prior to the publication of notice of redemption of the 2009 Notes pursuant to this paragraph, the Company will deliver to the Fiscal Agent: (i) a certificate signed on behalf of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to effect such redemption have occurred; and (ii) a copy of the written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters to the effect that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment.

In addition, if the Company determines, based upon a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing with respect to United States federal income tax matters, that any payment made outside the United States by the Company or any Paying Agent (acting as agent for the Company and not as agent for the beneficial owner of a 2009 Note or 2009 Coupon) of the full amount of principal or interest due with respect to any 2009 Notes or 2009 Coupon would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Company, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority

C1-4

of the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from, for example, status as a United States Alien as defined under “Payment of Additional Amounts”) of a beneficial owner of such 2009 Note or 2009 Coupon who is a United States Alien (other than such a requirement which (a) would not be applicable to payment made by the Company or any one of its Paying Agents (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to any custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, (b) can be satisfied by the holder who is not the beneficial owner thereof or the custodian, nominee or other agent certifying that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien, (c) would be applicable only to a payment by a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner to the beneficial owner, or (d) would be applicable only to a payment to any custodian, nominee, or other agent of the beneficial owner who is a United States person (as defined under “Payment of Additional Amounts”) or a U.S. Controlled Person (as defined in the following paragraph); provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b), payment by such custodian, nominee or other agent of such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement other than any such requirement which is imposed on a custodian, nominee, or other agent described in clause (d)) the Company at its election will either (x) redeem all of the 2009 Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as described under “Notices” below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, or (y) if and so long as the certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirements referred to in this paragraph would be fully satisfied with respect to such 2009 Notes by payment of a United States withholding, backup withholding or similar tax, pay such Additional Amounts as are necessary in order that, following the effective date of such requirements, every net payment made outside the United States by the Company or any Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on such 2009 Note or 2009 Coupon appertaining thereto to a beneficial owner who is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from, for example, status as a United States Alien) of the beneficial owner be disclosed to the Company, any Paying Agent or any United States governmental authority), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such United States withholding, backup withholding or similar tax (other than a withholding, backup withholding or similar tax which would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the fourth parenthetical clause of the first sentence of this paragraph) but before deduction or withholding on account of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge described in (a) through (j) of the first paragraph under “Payment of Additional Amounts”, will not be less than the amount provided in such Note or the Coupon to be then due and payable. The Company will make such determination and election and notify the Fiscal Agent as soon as practicable, and the Fiscal Agent will promptly give notice of such determination in the manner provided under “Notices” below (the “Determination Notice”) stating the effective date of such certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement, whether the Company will

C1-5

redeem the relevant 2009 Notes or will pay the Additional Amounts specified in this paragraph and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the relevant 2009 Notes must take place. If the Company elects to redeem such Notes, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after publication of the Determination Notice, as the Company elects by notice in writing to the Fiscal Agent at least 60 days before such date, unless shorter notice is acceptable to the Fiscal Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not so redeem such Notes if the Company, based upon a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing with respect to United States federal income tax matters, subsequently determines, not less than 30 days prior to the redemption date, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Company will notify the Fiscal Agent in writing, and the Fiscal Agent will promptly give notice to the holders of such 2009 Notes of that determination and any earlier redemption notice will thereupon be revoked and of no further effect.

The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the 2009 Notes and 2009 Coupons, issue from time to time additional 2009 Notes under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, which will be treated as a single series with the 2009 Notes offered hereby.

SECTION 14. Applicable Law.

(a) The 2009 Notes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

(b) The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to the 2009 Notes or the 2009 Coupons. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in

C1-19

any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Company in the manner specified in the following paragraph or as otherwise permitted by law.

(c) As long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company will at all times have an authorized agent in the City of New York, upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the 2009 Notes or the 2009 Coupons. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company shall to the extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company has appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any legal action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011 (or at such other address or, at the office of such other authorized agent as the Company may designate by written notice to the Fiscal Agent), with a copy to the Company at the address for notices set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement; provided that failure to deliver any such copy to the Company shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such service of process.

SECTION 15. Notices.

All notices to the holders of interests in the 2009 Notes will be given by publication at least once in a newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times) or, if publication in London is not practicable, publication may be made in another principal city in Europe in a newspaper of general circulation. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication, or if published on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made in any publication in which it is required. Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notices given to the holder of the 2009 Notes in accordance with this paragraph.

Until such time as any 2009 Definitive Notes are issued, there may, so long as the Temporary Global Note is held in its entirety on behalf of Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), be substituted for such publication in London, the delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and Clearstream for communication by them to the persons shown in their records as having interests in the Temporary Global Note credited to them and any such notices will be deemed to have been given on the seventh day after delivery to Euroclear and Clearstream.

C1-20

SECTION 16. No Recourse.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on the 2009 Notes or 2009 Coupons, or for any claim based hereon or thereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, or based on or in respect of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor Person, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

EXHIBIT C-2

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE 2013 NOTES

The €500,000,000 4.00% Notes due January 30, 2013 (“2013 Notes”) have been issued under a Fiscal Agency Agreement (“Fiscal Agency Agreement”) dated as of February 1, 2006, by and between Fortune Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as fiscal agent (“Fiscal Agent”). The Notes are limited to €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will bear interest from and including February 1, 2006 at the rate of 4.00% per annum, payable annually in arrear on January 30, of each year (an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing January 30, 2007 until the principal is paid or made available for payment. If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day and no additional interest shall be payable on account of such delayed payment. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is both a day on which commercial banks are open for business in the relevant place of presentation and a day on which the Trans-European Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open. In the event that interest is to be calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

The 2013 Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, and rank pari passu without preference among themselves and with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. Neither the Fiscal Agency Agreement nor the 2013 Notes limit other indebtedness or securities that may be incurred or issued by the Company; nor will they contain other restrictive financial covenants or similar restrictions on the Company, except as described in Section 7 under “Covenants; Restrictions on the Company.”

SECTION 1. Delivery, Form and Denomination.

Each 2013 Note and 2013 Coupon will carry substantially the following legend:

The sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) referred to in such legend provide that United States persons (as defined in the Code), with certain exceptions, will not be entitled to deduct any loss, and will not be entitled to capital gains treatment of any gain, on any sale, disposition or payment of principal of the Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. Title to the 2013 Notes will pass by delivery. The holder of a 2013 Note or any 2013 Coupon will be treated, to the extent permitted by law, by the Company, the Fiscal Agent, and all of their agents for all purposes as the owner of such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon.

SECTION 2. Payments and Paying Agents.

Principal of the 2013 Notes will be payable against presentation and surrender of such 2013 Notes, and, in the case of 2013 Definitive Notes, interest on any 2013 Definitive Notes will be payable against presentation and surrender of the 2013 Coupons appertaining thereto as they severally mature, in either case, at the designated offices of such Paying Agents outside the United States and its possessions as the Company may appoint from time to time pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Payments of interest due in respect of any 2013 Notes other than on presentation and surrender of matured Coupons shall be made only against presentation and either surrender or endorsement (as appropriate) of the relevant 2013 Note. Payments with respect to the 2013 Notes and the 2013 Coupons appertaining thereto will be made only in euro, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by euro check or, at the option of a holder, by transfer to a euro denominated account maintained by such holder with a bank outside the United States and its possessions. No payment with respect to any such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon will be made at the office of the Fiscal Agent or at the offices of any Paying Agent appointed by the Company in the United States or its possessions, nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account, or by mail to an address, in the United States or its possessions.

In the event that any Interest Payment Date shall occur at a time when any portion of the principal amount of the 2013 Temporary Global Note (as defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement) has not been exchanged (pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Temporary Global Note) for beneficial interests in the 2013 Global Note (as defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement), payments of principal of, and interest and Additional

C2-2

Amounts (if any), on that portion of the principal amount of the 2013 Temporary Global Note that has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the 2013 Global Note shall be held by the Fiscal Agent for payment to any holders of the 2013 Temporary Global Note only upon such exchange.

The Company has initially appointed JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. London, as the Paying Agent. The Company agrees that, so long as any of the 2013 Notes are outstanding, it will maintain Paying Agents only outside the United States and its possessions, and so long as the 2013 Notes are listed on the London Stock Exchange and the rules of the London Stock Exchange shall so require, it will maintain a Paying Agent in London for payments with respect to 2013 Definitive Notes and the 2013 Coupons appertaining thereto and where the 2013 Definitive Notes may be presented or surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the 2013 Notes, the 2013 Coupons, and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, may be served. The Company is under no obligation to maintain a listing for the 2013 Notes on the London Stock Exchange (or any other exchange), and may cause the 2013 Notes to be delisted in any circumstances, among others, where the continued listing would be unduly burdensome in the opinion of the Company.

The Company will also maintain at all times an office or agency in London solely for the purpose of receiving notices and demands (other than presentation of the 2013 Notes or 2013 Coupons or demands for payment) from the holders of the 2013 Notes and the 2013 Coupons but not for the purpose of making payments in respect of the 2013 Notes or the 2013 Coupons. The Company has initially appointed the office of the Fiscal Agent in London for the purpose of receiving notices and demands (other than demands for payment) from the holders of the 2013 Notes and 2013 Coupons.

Any monies paid by the Company to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the principal of, or interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any 2013 Notes and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise) shall then be repaid to the Company upon its written request, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Company may have to pay the principal of, and interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon as the same shall become due.

C2-3

SECTION 3. Redemption.

Except as provided below, the 2013 Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. Unless previously redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the 2013 Notes will be payable at par on January 30, 2013 or such earlier date on which the same shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2013 Notes; provided that, if the maturity date of the 2013 Notes is not a Business Day, the 2013 Notes will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue for the period from January 30, 2013 to such payment date).

If: (i) at any time the Company becomes or would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described below under the heading “Payment of Additional Amounts” as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in or amendment to an official application, interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of the Final Prospectus, then the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2013 Notes, as a whole but not in part, upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ irrevocable notice at 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date fixed for redemption and Additional Amounts, if any, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the 2013 Notes then due. Prior to the publication of notice of redemption of the 2013 Notes pursuant to this paragraph, the Company will deliver to the Fiscal Agent: (i) a certificate signed on behalf of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to effect such redemption have occurred; and (ii) a copy of the written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters to the effect that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment.

In addition, if the Company determines, based upon a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing with respect to United States federal income tax matters, that any payment made outside the United States by the Company or any Paying Agent (acting as agent for the Company and not as agent for the beneficial owner of a 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon) of the full amount of principal or interest due with respect to any 2013 Notes or 2013 Coupon would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Company, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority

C2-4

of the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from, for example, status as a United States Alien as defined under “Payment of Additional Amounts”) of a beneficial owner of such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon who is a United States Alien (other than such a requirement which (a) would not be applicable to payment made by the Company or any one of its Paying Agents (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to any custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, (b) can be satisfied by the holder who is not the beneficial owner thereof or the custodian, nominee or other agent certifying that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien, (c) would be applicable only to a payment by a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner to the beneficial owner, or (d) would be applicable only to a payment to any custodian, nominee, or other agent of the beneficial owner who is a United States person (as defined under “Payment of Additional Amounts”) or a U.S. Controlled Person (as defined in the following paragraph); provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b), payment by such custodian, nominee or other agent of such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement other than any such requirement which is imposed on a custodian, nominee, or other agent described in clause (d)) the Company at its election will either (x) redeem all of the 2013 Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as described under “Notices” below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, or (y) if and so long as the certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirements referred to in this paragraph would be fully satisfied with respect to such 2013 Notes by payment of a United States withholding, backup withholding or similar tax, pay such Additional Amounts as are necessary in order that, following the effective date of such requirements, every net payment made outside the United States by the Company or any Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon appertaining thereto to a beneficial owner who is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from, for example, status as a United States Alien) of the beneficial owner be disclosed to the Company, any Paying Agent or any United States governmental authority), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such United States withholding, backup withholding or similar tax (other than a withholding, backup withholding or similar tax which would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the fourth parenthetical clause of the first sentence of this paragraph) but before deduction or withholding on account of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge described in (a) through (j) of the first paragraph under “Payment of Additional Amounts”, will not be less than the amount provided in such Note or the Coupon to be then due and payable. The Company will make such determination and election and notify the Fiscal Agent as soon as practicable, and the Fiscal Agent will promptly give notice of such determination in the manner provided under “Notices” below (the “Determination Notice”) stating the effective date of such certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement, whether the Company will

C2-5

redeem the relevant 2013 Notes or will pay the Additional Amounts specified in this paragraph and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the relevant 2013 Notes must take place. If the Company elects to redeem such Notes, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after publication of the Determination Notice, as the Company elects by notice in writing to the Fiscal Agent at least 60 days before such date, unless shorter notice is acceptable to the Fiscal Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not so redeem such Notes if the Company, based upon a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing with respect to United States federal income tax matters, subsequently determines, not less than 30 days prior to the redemption date, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Company will notify the Fiscal Agent in writing, and the Fiscal Agent will promptly give notice to the holders of such 2013 Notes of that determination and any earlier redemption notice will thereupon be revoked and of no further effect. If the Company elects as provided in clause (y) above to pay Additional Amounts, (A) the Company may, as long as the Company is obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, redeem all of the 2013 Notes at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as described under “Notices” below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date but without deduction for applicable United States withholding taxes with respect to which the Company is obligated to pay Additional Amounts and (B) if the condition specified in clause (y) above is no longer satisfied, the Company shall redeem all of the 2013 Notes in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

SECTION 4. Purchases of Notes.

The Company may, directly or through one or more of its subsidiaries, at any time purchase 2013 Notes in the open market or otherwise at any price (provided that they are purchased together with all unmatured 2013 Coupons relating to such 2013 Notes). The 2013 Notes so purchased need not be cancelled but may not be re-issued or resold except by Fortune Brands, Inc. in connection with the Company’s initial issuance of the 2013 Notes. 2013 Notes so acquired may be delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation or otherwise.

C2-6

SECTION 5. Cancellation.

All 2013 Notes so redeemed or purchased as specified above (except for 2013 Notes purchased by Fortune Brands, Inc.) and any unmatured 2013 Coupons attached to, or surrendered with, such 2013 Notes may not be re-issued or resold. All 2013 Notes so redeemed shall be cancelled. In the case of a Global Note, cancellation of any 2013 Note following its purchase will be effected by reduction in the principal amount of the Global Note.

SECTION 6. Payment of Additional Amounts.

The Company will pay as additional interest on the 2013 Notes or 2013 Coupons to the holder or beneficial owner of any 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon who is a United States Alien such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment by the Company or any Paying Agents of principal of, or interest on, the 2013 Notes or 2013 Coupons, after deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon, or as a result of, such payment by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided for in such Note or Coupon to be then due and payable before any such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to:

(a) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner or person having such a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business therein or being or having been present therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein, (ii) the failure of such holder or beneficial owner to comply with any requirement under United States income tax laws and regulations to establish entitlement to an exemption from such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge (other than any such exemption which is conditioned upon the disclosure to the Company, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of the beneficial owner of the 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon), or (iii) such holder or beneficial owner being or having been with respect to the United States a personal holding company, a controlled foreign corporation, a passive foreign investment company, a foreign private foundation, a foreign tax exempt organization or a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

C2-7

(c) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the holder or beneficial owner of such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice is given to holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon on any date during such 30-day period;

(d) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property, wealth, interest equalization or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(e) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of principal of or interest on such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon;

(f) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable by a holder that is not the beneficial owner of the 2013 Note or the 2013 Coupon, or a portion of either, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other similar entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or member of such partnership, limited liability company or similar entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had such beneficial owner, settlor, beneficiary or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(g) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent;

(h) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld or deducted where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to

C2-8

(i) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed in respect of any 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon if such 2013 Note or 2013 Coupon had been presented to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union; or

(j) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i).

For purposes of the foregoing, the holding of or receipt of any payment with respect to a 2013 Note or a 2013 Coupon shall not constitute a connection between the holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity) and the United States.

Except as specifically provided in the 2013 Notes, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

C2-9

SECTION 7. Covenants; Restrictions on the Company.

(a) Restrictions on Borrowing by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue, assume, guarantee or incur any Funded Debt, except (i) Funded Debt owed to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) Funded Debt which is Secured Debt permitted by Section 7(b) without equally and ratably securing the 2013 Notes, or (iii) unsecured Funded Debt issued, assumed, guaranteed or incurred which represents an extension, renewal or refunding of Secured Debt permitted by the first paragraph of Section 7(b) to the extent of the principal amount of the Secured Debt so extended, renewed or refunded, or (iv) unsecured Funded Debt in an amount which, if it were Secured Debt, would be permitted by the second paragraph of Section 7(b) without equally and ratably securing the Notes, or (v) unsecured Funded Debt assumed by a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with its merger with, or acquisition of all or a substantial part of the assets and business of, any Person and which constitutes existing indebtedness or an existing guarantee of such Person, or (vi) unsecured Funded Debt of a Person existing at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, or (vii) Funded Debt created in connection with any industrial revenue bond, pollution control bond or similar financing arrangement between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and the United States, any State thereof or any municipal government or other governmental body or agency or (viii) any extension, renewal or refunding (or successive extensions, renewals or refundings), in whole or in part, of any Funded Debt referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii).

(b) Restrictions on Secured Debt. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume, guarantee or incur any Secured Debt, without effectively providing that the 2013 Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the 2013 Notes, including guarantees of indebtedness of others) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Debt, so long as such Secured Debt shall be so secured, except that this Section shall not apply to Secured Debt secured by:

(i) mortgages on property of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(iii) mortgages upon or with respect to any property acquired, constructed or improved by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the

C2-10

(iv) mortgages which secure indebtedness owing to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary;

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.06, the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may issue, assume, guarantee or incur Secured Debt, without equally and ratably securing the Notes, if after giving effect thereto, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except Secured Debt described in clauses (i) through (vii) of the first paragraph of this Section 7(b)), (y) the aggregate Value of sale and lease back transactions to which Section 7(c) applies and (z) the aggregate amount of all unsecured outstanding Funded Debt of all Restricted Subsidiaries permitted under Section 7(a)(iv) (or any extension, renewal or refunding thereof), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

C2-11

If the Company shall hereafter be required to secure the 2013 Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) any other indebtedness pursuant to this Section 7(b), (y) the Company will promptly deliver to the Fiscal Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that such covenant has been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel such covenant has been complied with, that any instruments executed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the performance of such covenant comply with the requirements of such covenant and that all steps necessary to perfect such security have been taken, and (z) the Fiscal Agent is hereby authorized to enter into such instruments and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce the rights of holders of 2013 Notes which are so secured.

(c) Restrictions on Sale and Lease Back Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (other than to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary) any property owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary on the date hereof, which (as determined by Board Resolution) constitutes a major facility of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, with the intention of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary taking back a lease of such property, except a lease for a temporary period (not exceeding five years) by the end of which it is intended that the use of such property by the lessee will be discontinued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may so sell any such property and lease it back if (x) the Company promptly gives notice of such sale to the Fiscal Agent; (y) the net proceeds of such sale are at least equal to the fair value (as determined by Board Resolution) of such property; and (z) the Company shall, and in any such case the Company covenants that it will, within 120 days after such sale, apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, not less than an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale to the retirement of outstanding Funded Debt of the Company and/or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any thereof which is owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and other than any thereof which is subordinate in right of payment to the 2013 Notes); provided, however, that the amount to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be reduced by:

(ii) the principal amount of any debentures, notes or other instruments evidencing Funded Debt of the Company (which may include the

C2-12

2013 Notes) or of a Restricted Subsidiary delivered within 120 days after such sale to the applicable trustee for retirement and cancellation, other than any debentures, notes or other instruments retired by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or any mandatory prepayment provision.

(e) Assumption of Obligations in Connection with Mergers and Acquisitions. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary, in connection with its merger with or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, from assuming all obligations and liabilities of such Person; provided, however, that no mortgage of such Person shall be so assumed if, as a result thereof, the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior thereto would thereupon become subject to the lien of such mortgage, unless either the assumption by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the obligations and liabilities secured by such mortgage would be permitted by the second paragraph of Section 7(b) without equally and ratably securing the Notes simultaneously therewith or prior thereto effective provision shall be made for the securing of the Notes by a prior lien on such property.

For purposes of this Section 7:

“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the excess over current liabilities of all assets as determined by the Company and set forth in a consolidated balance sheet of the

C2-13

Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as of a date within 90 days of the date of such determination, after deducting goodwill, trademarks, patents, other like intangibles and the minority interest of others.

C2-14

(vii), (ix) each Subsidiary which the Company or any Subsidiary is, by the terms of the final order of any court of competent jurisdiction from which no further appeal may be taken, required to dispose of and which shall by Board Resolution be determined not to be a Restricted Subsidiary, effective as of the date specified in such resolution and (x) any corporation a majority of the voting shares of which shall at the time be owned directly or indirectly by one or more corporations specified in the preceding clauses (i) through (ix); provided, however, that the Board of Directors may by Board Resolution declare any such Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, effective as of the date such resolution is adopted.

SECTION 8. Meeting of Holders and Waivers of Covenants.

The Fiscal Agency Agreement provides that the Company may, upon the notice specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, call a meeting of holders of 2013 Notes or solicit the written consent of holders of 2013 Notes for the purpose of obtaining a waiver of any covenant or condition set forth above under “Covenants, Restrictions on the Company”, or obtaining a waiver of past default by the Company under any of the terms and conditions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the 2013 Notes, or modifying or

C2-16

(b) If an Event of Default with respect to any 2013 Note occurs and is continuing, then holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2013 Notes may declare the principal of the 2013 Notes held by such holder (and the interest accrued thereon) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company and the Fiscal Agent, and upon any such declaration, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured by the Company prior to receipt by it and the Fiscal Agent of such written notice, such principal and interest shall become immediately due and payable. Any acceleration of the 2013 Notes may be rescinded, and any Event of Default of the 2013 Notes may be waived, by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2013 Notes, except a default in payment declared by a particular holder pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) by written notice to the Company and the Fiscal Agent.

SECTION 10. Consolidation, Merger, and Sale of Assets.

(i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume, in

C2-17

form executed, delivered and satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the 2013 Notes and the performance of every covenant of the Fiscal Agency Agreement on the part of the Company to be performed or observed in respect of 2013 Notes;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default in respect of the 2013 Notes, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default in respect of the 2013 Notes, shall have happened and be continuing;

(iii) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall have agreed, by an amendment of these Conditions (which amendment shall be effective upon execution by the Company, without further notice to or action on the part of any holder of 2013 Notes or any other person) delivered to the Fiscal Agent, to indemnify the individuals liable therefor the amount of United States federal estate tax attributable to or paid in respect of any 2013 Notes includable in the gross estate of an individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States at the time of death; and

(b) 2013 Notes to be Secured in Certain Events. If, upon any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any corporation, or upon the conveyance or transfer by the Company of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety in accordance with the Article 8 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement to any Person, any of the property owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior thereto would thereupon become subject to any mortgage, the Company will, simultaneously with or prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer make effective provision for the securing of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the 2013 Notes (equally and ratably with any other indebtedness then entitled thereto) by a prior lien upon such property.

C2-18

SECTION 11. Replacement of Notes and Coupons.

If any 2013 Note (including any Coupon) is mutilated, defaced or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Fiscal Agent will replace such 2013 Note (in such capacity, the “Replacement Agent”) by issuing a new 2013 Note upon the surrender of such mutilated or defaced 2013 Note or delivery of satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Replacement Agent. In any such case, indemnity satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent and the Company may be required of the holder of such 2013 Note before a replacement 2013 Note will be issued. All expenses associated with obtaining such indemnity and in issuing the new 2013 Note shall be borne by the owner of the mutilated, defaced or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen 2013 Note.

SECTION 12. Prescription.

Under New York’s statute of limitations, any legal action to enforce the Company’s payment obligations evidenced by the 2013 Notes or the 2013 Coupons must be commenced within 6 years after the payment thereof is due; thereafter the Company’s payment obligations will generally become unenforceable.

SECTION 13. Further Issues.

The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the 2013 Notes and 2013 Coupons, issue from time to time additional 2013 Notes under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, which will be treated as a single series with the 2013 Notes offered hereby.

SECTION 14. Applicable Law.

(a) The 2013 Notes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

(b) The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Notes or the Coupons. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in

C2-19

(c) As long as any of the 2013 Notes remain outstanding, the Company will at all times have an authorized agent in the City of New York, upon whom process may be served in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the 2013 Notes or the 2013 Coupons. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company shall to the extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company has appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any legal action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011 (or at such other address or, at the office of such other authorized agent as the Company may designate by written notice to the Fiscal Agent), with a copy to the Company at the address for notices set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement; provided that failure to deliver any such copy to the Company shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such service of process.

SECTION 15. Notices.

All notices to the holders of interests in the 2013 Notes will be given by publication at least once in a newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times) or, if publication in London is not practicable, publication may be made in another principal city in Europe in a newspaper of general circulation. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication, or if published on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made in any publication in which it is required. Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notices given to the holders of the 2013 Notes in accordance with this paragraph.

Until such time as any 2013 Definitive Notes are issued, there may, so long as the Temporary Global Note is held in its entirety on behalf of Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), be substituted for such publication in London, the delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and Clearstream for communication by them to the persons shown in their records as having interests in the Temporary Global Note credited to them and any such notices will be deemed to have been given on the seventh day after delivery to Euroclear and Clearstream.

C2-20

SECTION 16. No Recourse.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on the 2013 Notes or 2013 Coupons, or for any claim based hereon or thereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, or based on or in respect of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor Person, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

3.50% Notes due January 30, 2009

This Note is a 2009 Global Note without interest coupons (“Coupons”) in respect of a duly authorized issue by Fortune Brands, Inc. (the “Company,” which term shall include any successor corporation) of notes, designated as specified in the title hereof (the “2009 Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of €300,000,000 initially represented by a single temporary global note without Coupons (the “2009 Temporary Global Note”). The 2009 Notes are issued with the benefit of a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2006 (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Fiscal Agent, and the Paying Agents named therein. This 2009 Global Note is issued subject to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Terms and Conditions (the “Conditions”).

The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the bearer upon presentation and surrender hereof at the office of the Fiscal Agent specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement on January 30, 2009, or on such earlier date as such sum may become repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the principal sum of €300,000,000 or, if less, the Certified Amount (as hereinafter defined), and will pay interest on the said principal sum in accordance with the preamble to the Conditions from February 1, 2006

in arrear on each Interest Payment Date, together with such additional amounts (if any) as may be payable under Section 6 of the Conditions, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions.

This 2009 Global Note will be deposited with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, as common depositary (the “Common Depositary”) on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) for credit to the respective accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream (or to such other accounts as Euroclear of Clearstream may have directed). The principal amount of this 2009 Global Note shall be reduced on exchange for 2009 Definitive Notes by endorsement by the Fiscal Agent as specified below.

On and after the Restricted Period Expiration Date (as defined below) Euroclear or Clearstream may present to the Fiscal Agent one or more certificates signed by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, dated not earlier than the Restricted Period Expiration Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the principal amount of the 2009 Temporary Global Note, whereupon the Fiscal Agent will endorse on Schedule II hereto as an addition an amount equal to the portion of the 2009 Temporary Global Note in respect of which such certificates have been received in exchange for a corresponding portion of this 2009 Global Note (the aggregate amount so endorsed, less subtractions to such aggregate amount endorsed on account of exchanges for 2009 Definitive Notes, is herein referred to as the “Certified Amount”).

Payments of principal of, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, any portion of the 2009 Notes which is represented by this 2009 Global Note shall be made to each of Euroclear and Clearstream in respect of the portion of this 2009 Global Note held for its account; provided that payment will only be made to Euroclear and Clearstream in respect of the Certified Amount at the opening of business on the applicable Payment Date.

Payments of principal, premium and interest in respect of 2009 Notes represented by this 2009 Global Note will be made against presentation for endorsement and, if no further payment fails to be made in respect of the 2009 Notes, surrender of this 2009 Global Note to, or to the order of, the Fiscal Agent or such other Paying Agents as shall have been notified to the holders of 2009 Notes for such purpose. A record of each payment so made will be endorsed in the appropriate schedule to this 2009 Global Note, which endorsement will be prima facie evidence that such payment has been made in respect of the 2009 Notes.

Each of Euroclear and Clearstream has undertaken to credit such amounts received by it in respect of this 2009 Global Note on the relevant Payment Date to the accounts of those persons appearing in their respective records as owners of beneficial interests in this 2009 Global Note.

This Note is a 2013 Global Note without interest coupons (“Coupons”) in respect of a duly authorized issue by Fortune Brands, Inc. (the “Company,” which term shall include any successor corporation) of notes, designated as specified in the title hereof (the “2013 Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000 initially represented by a single temporary global note without Coupons (the “2013 Temporary Global Note”). The 2013 Notes are issued with the benefit of a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2006 (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Fiscal Agent, and the Paying Agents named therein. This 2013 Global Note is issued subject to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Terms and Conditions (the “Conditions”).

The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the bearer upon presentation and surrender hereof at the office of the Fiscal Agent specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement on January 30, 2013, or on such earlier date as such sum may become repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the principal sum of €500,000,000 or, if less, the Certified Amount (as hereinafter defined), and will pay interest on the said principal sum in accordance with the preamble to the Conditions from February 1, 2006

in arrear on each Interest Payment Date, together with such additional amounts (if any) as may be payable under Section 6 of the Conditions, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions.

This 2013 Global Note will be deposited with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, as common depositary (the “Common Depositary”) on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) for credit to the respective accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream (or to such other accounts as Euroclear of Clearstream may have directed). The principal amount of this 2013 Global Note shall be reduced on exchange for 2013 Definitive Notes by endorsement by the Fiscal Agent as specified below.

On and after the Restricted Period Expiration Date (as defined below) Euroclear or Clearstream may present to the Fiscal Agent one or more certificates signed by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, dated not earlier than the Restricted Period Expiration Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the principal amount of the 2013 Temporary Global Note, whereupon the Fiscal Agent will endorse on Schedule II hereto as an addition an amount equal to the portion of the 2013 Temporary Global Note in respect of which such certificates have been received in exchange for a corresponding portion of this 2013 Global Note (the aggregate amount so endorsed, less subtractions to such aggregate amount endorsed on account of exchanges for 2013 Definitive Notes, is herein referred to as the “Certified Amount”).

Payments of principal of, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, any portion of the 2013 Notes which is represented by this 2013 Global Note shall be made to each of Euroclear and Clearstream in respect of the portion of this 2013 Global Note held for its account; provided that payment will only be made to Euroclear and Clearstream in respect of the Certified Amount at the opening of business on the applicable Payment Date.

Payments of principal, premium and interest in respect of 2013 Notes represented by this 2013 Global Note will be made against presentation for endorsement and, if no further payment fails to be made in respect of the 2013 Notes, surrender of this 2013 Global Note to, or to the order of, the Fiscal Agent or such other Paying Agents as shall have been notified to the holders of 2013 Notes for such purpose. A record of each payment so made will be endorsed in the appropriate schedule to this 2013 Global Note, which endorsement will be prima facie evidence that such payment has been made in respect of the 2013 Notes.

Each of Euroclear and Clearstream has undertaken to credit such amounts received by it in respect of this 2013 Global Note on the relevant Payment Date to the accounts of those persons appearing in their respective records as owners of beneficial interests in this 2013 Global Note.

F2-2

Until the entire principal amount of this 2013 Global Note has been exchanged for 2013 Definitive Notes, holders of beneficial interests in this 2013 Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits, and subject to the same terms and conditions as a holder of the 2013 Definitive Notes for which such interests could be exchanged, except the beneficial owners of this 2013 Global Note shall not be entitled to receive payments of principal of, or interest or Additional Amounts (if any) on, this 2013 Global Note, except as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement and in this 2013 Global Note.
