Unconditionally Guaranteed, Jointly and Severally,
by Cintas Corporation and
Certain Subsidiaries of Cintas Corporation

Cintas Corporation No. 2, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Nevada (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., c/o The Depository Trust Company, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041, or registered assigns, the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000), as revised by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Security attached hereto, on December 1, 2017, and to pay interest thereon from December 7, 2007 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually on June 1 and December 1 in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 1, 2008, at the rate of 6.125% per annum, until the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon is paid or duly made available for payment, and on any overdue principal or premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum during the period in which such principal or premium, if any, or interest remains unpaid. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder hereof on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in such Indenture. Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by United States dollar check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, that payment to The Depository Trust Company or any

successor depository (“DTC”) may be made by wire transfer to the account designated by DTC or such successor depository in writing.

If any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) issued or to be issued under an Indenture dated as of May 28, 2002 (herein called, together with all indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”) by and among the Company, Cintas Corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), Cintas Corporation No. 3, Cintas Corp. No. 8, Inc., Cintas Corp. No. 15, Inc. and Cintas–RUS, L.P., as guarantors (the “Initial Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Parent Guarantor and each other subsidiary of the Company that pursuant to the terms of the Indenture guarantees the Company’s obligations under such Indenture, in each case in such entity’s capacity as guarantor, the “Guarantors”) to U.S. Bank National Association (as successor trustee to Wachovia Bank, National Association), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited (subject to exceptions provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount specified in the Officers’ Certificate dated December 4, 2007 establishing the terms of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture; provided that the Company may, without the consent of Holders, reopen this series of Securities and issue additional Notes, so as to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Notes Outstanding upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture so long as any such additional Notes have the same tenor and terms (including, without limitation, rights to receive accrued and unpaid interest as the Notes then Outstanding). The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in the denominations specified in the Officers’ Certificate dated December 4, 2007 establishing the terms of the Notes, all as more fully provided in the Indenture and such Officers’ Certificate. As provided in the Indenture and in such Officers’ Certificate, and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, such Officers’ Certificate and in this Note, the Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in different denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed as to the due and punctual payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect thereof by the Guarantors as evidenced by their

guarantees (the “Guarantees”) included in the Indenture and set forth hereon. The Guarantees are direct and unconditional obligations of such Guarantors and rank and will rank equally in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Guarantors now or hereafter outstanding.

This Note is redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and (ii) the sum, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on this Note to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 35 basis points, and in each case accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issuer will be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if the release referred to in clause (i) (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Trustee for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or if the Trustee is unable to obtain at least four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Trustee.

“Independent Investment Banker” means KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (and its successors), or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the

Trustee and reasonably acceptable to the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (and its successors), J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and two other primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Independent Investment Banker (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for the Notes, an average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Note (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to the Holder hereof at its address as such address shall appear in the Security Register of the Company. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price and accrued interest on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note called for redemption.

Except as provided above, this Note is not redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (defined below) occurs, unless the Company has otherwise exercised its right to redeem the Notes, it will make an offer (a “Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple 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 accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and stating:

	(1)		that the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer is being made pursuant to the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

	(2)		the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date”);

	(3)		that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

	(4)		that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer will cease to accrue interest after the

			Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date;

	(5)		that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date;

	(6)		that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

	(7)		that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

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 under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

	(1)		accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer;

	(2)		deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

	(3)		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.

Upon receiving the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment, the Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such 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 the principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Company will announce the results of the Change of Control Repurchase Event Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Repurchase Event Payment Date.

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