Section 1.2 Additional Defined Terms.

As used in this First Supplemental Indenture, the following defined terms shall have the following meanings with respect to the Offered Securities only:

“Attributable Debt” in connection with a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, as of any particular time, means the aggregate of the present values (discounted at a rate that, at the inception of the lease, represents the effective interest rate that the lessee would have incurred to borrow over a similar term the funds necessary to purchase the leased assets) of the obligations of the Company, nVent or any Restricted Subsidiary for net rental payments during the remaining term of the applicable lease, including any period for which such lease has been extended or, at the option of the lessor, may be extended. The term “net rental payments” under any lease of any period shall mean the sum of the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, not including any amounts required to be paid by such lessee, whether or not designated as rental or additional rental, on account of maintenance and repairs, reconstruction, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amounts required to be paid by such lessee thereunder contingent upon the amount of sales, maintenance and repairs, reconstruction, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence on or after the Issue Date of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation or as a pledge for security purposes only), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of nVent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than nVent and/or a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of nVent; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of nVent’s outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which nVent’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) nVent consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, nVent, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of nVent’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares

of nVent’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or (4) the approval by the holders of nVent’s Voting Stock of a plan for nVent’s liquidation or dissolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (1), (2) or (4) above if: (i) nVent becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company or a holding company becomes the successor to nVent under Section 10.02 of the Base Indenture pursuant to a transaction that is permitted under Section 10.01 of the Base Indenture and (ii) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction (or a series of related transactions) are the same or substantially the same (and hold in the same or substantially the same proportions) as the holders of nVent’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction. The term “person”, as used in this definition, means any Person and any two or more Persons as provided in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the completion of the Separation shall not constitute a Change of Control.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event; provided, however, that a Change of Control Triggering Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a Change of Control if the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the purported Change of Control Triggering Event). Unless both Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Offered Securities at the commencement of any period referred to in the definition of “Rating Event”, a Rating Event shall be deemed to have occurred during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Offered Securities, it shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Offered Securities to repurchase, at the Holder’s election, all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Offered Securities on the terms set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of Offered Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Offered Securities repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall send a notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Offered Securities describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Offered Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall, except as described in the immediately following sentence, be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (or in the case of a notice prior to the consummation of the Change of Control Triggering Event, no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the Change of Control Triggering Event) other than as may be required by law (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. If the Change of Control Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the Change of Control Payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.

(b) In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver (or otherwise comply with alternative instructions in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) to the paying agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, its Offered Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is contained in the form of Offered Security attached hereto as Exhibit A) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:

(i) the name of the Holder of such Offered Security;

(ii) the principal amount of such Offered Security;

(iii) the principal amount of such Offered Security to be repurchased;

(iv) the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of such Offered Security;

(v) a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and

(vi) a guarantee that such Offered Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, shall be received by the paying agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of an Offered Security, but in that event the principal amount of such Offered Security remaining Outstanding after repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Offered Securities or portions of such Offered Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Offered Securities or portions of Offered Securities properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Offered Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities or portions of Offered Securities being repurchased.

(e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Offered Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Offered Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Offered Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1.3(3), none of the Company or the Guarantors shall be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.3(3) by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(4)

Reports.

(a) At any time when nVent is not subject to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any Offered Securities remain “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, upon the request of a Holder of the Offered Securities, the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished at their expense the information specified under Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act to such Holder.

Section 1.4 Special Mandatory Redemption.

(1) In the event that Pentair does not complete the Separation by October 31, 2018 (the “Outside Date”), then the Company will be required to redeem all of the Outstanding Offered Securities in whole and not in part (a “Special Mandatory Redemption”) on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Offered Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. Installments of interest on the Offered Securities that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant regular record dates, as provided in the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture.

(2) The Company shall provide notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption, with a copy to the Trustee, or request that the Trustee provide notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption, in each case within ten Business Days following the Outside Date to each Holder at its registered address (or, as to Offered Securities represented by a Global Security, sent electronically in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) and will provide that the Offered Securities shall be redeemed on a date that is no later than the thirtieth calendar day after such notice is provided (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). If funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price of the Offered Securities to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee or a paying agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, and any applicable conditions set forth in the Base Indenture are satisfied, interest shall cease to accrue on the Offered Securities on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

Section 1.5 Additional Events of Default.

The following additional events shall be established and shall each constitute an “Event of Default” under Section 6.01(a) of the Base Indenture with respect to the Offered Securities so long as any of the Offered Securities remain Outstanding:

(1) default in the performance or breach by the Company or nVent of the covenant described under Section 10.01 of the Base Indenture;

(2) failure by the Company to effect the Special Mandatory Redemption, if required, within 15 Business Days of the Outside Date;

(3) failure by the Company for 60 days from receipt of written notice by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Offered Securities Outstanding to comply with the provisions under Section 1.3(3) of this First Supplemental Indenture; and

(4) an event of default shall happen and be continuing with respect to any Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company, nVent or any Restricted Subsidiary under any indenture or other instrument evidencing or under which the Company, nVent or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have a principal amount outstanding (such amount with respect to original issue discount bonds or zero coupon notes, bonds or debentures or similar securities based on the accreted amount determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and as of the date of the most recently prepared consolidated balance sheet of the Company, nVent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) in excess of $100,000,000, and such event of default shall involve the failure to pay the principal of such Indebtedness on the final maturity date thereof after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto, or such Indebtedness shall have been accelerated so that the same shall have become due and payable prior to the date on which the same would otherwise have become due and payable, and such acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled within 30 days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Offered Securities; provided, however, that:

(a) if such event of default under such indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the Company or nVent or waived by the requisite holders of such Indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or waived without further action upon the part of either the Trustee or any of the Holders; and

(b) subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with actual knowledge of any such event of default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the Company or nVent, as the case may be, by the holder or an agent of the holder of any such Indebtedness, by the trustee then acting under any indenture or other instrument under which such default shall have occurred, or by the Holders of not less than 25% in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Offered Securities.

Section 1.6 Additional Notes

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the outstanding Offered Securities, issue additional debt securities of such series (“Additional Notes”), which Additional Notes shall have the same terms as the outstanding Offered Securities except for the issue price, date of issue, status as Restricted Securities and, if issued after interest has been paid on the Initial Notes, the first interest payment date; provided, however, that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the then outstanding Offered Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall be issued with a separate CUSIP code from the outstanding Offered Securities.

Section 1.7 Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.

In addition to the items set forth in Section 9.02 of the Base Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of the outstanding Offered Securities, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or supplement to, the Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture or the Offered Securities may (i) release any Guarantor from its guarantee of the First Supplemental Indenture or the Offered Securities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the automatic release of the guarantees of Pentair and Pentair Investments pursuant to Section 15.03 of the Base Indenture) or (ii) amend the provisions of Section 1.4 of this First Supplemental Indenture or the corresponding provisions of the Security.

NVENT FINANCE S.À R.L.

Société à responsabilité limitée

26, boulevard Royal

L-2449 Luxembourg

R.C.S. B 219846

3.950% Senior Notes due 2023

This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of nVent Finance S.à r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) with a registered office at 26, boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under number B 219846 (the “Company”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture for the Company’s unsubordinated debt securities, dated as of March 26, 2018 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by and among the Company, nVent Electric plc, an Irish public limited company (“nVent”), Pentair plc, an Irish public limited company (“Pentair”), Pentair Investments Switzerland GmbH, a Swiss limited liability company (“Pentair Investments” and, together with nVent and Pentair, the “Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 26, 2018 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (individually, a “Security,” and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantors and the holders of this Security (the “Securityholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or in the First Supplemental Indenture, as applicable.

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of 3.950% (the “Original Interest Rate”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2 of this Security. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of this Security is not a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a regular record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2018. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

A-4

2. Interest Rate Adjustment. The interest rate payable on this Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Fitch or S&P (or, if applicable, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement for Fitch or S&P, or both, as the case may be (each, a “Substitute Rating Agency”)) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) its rating assigned to the Securities, as set forth in this Section 2. Each of Fitch, S&P and any Substitute Rating Agency is an “Interest Rate Rating Agency,” and together they are “Interest Rate Rating Agencies.”

If the rating of the Securities from one or both of Fitch or S&P (or, if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency) is decreased to a rating set forth in either of the tables set forth in this Section 2, the interest rate shall increase from the Original Interest Rate by an amount equal to the sum of the percentages per annum set forth in the following tables opposite those ratings:


Fitch Rating*	Percentage
BB+		0.25	%
BB		0.50	%
BB-		0.75	%
B+ or below		1.00	%


S&P Rating*	Percentage
BB+		0.25	%
BB		0.50	%
BB-		0.75	%
B+ or below		1.00	%

*	Including the equivalent ratings of any Substitute Rating Agency therefor.

For purposes of making adjustments to the interest rate payable on this Security, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:

(1) if at any time less than two Interest Rate Rating Agencies provide a rating on the Securities for reasons not within nVent’s control (i) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating on the Securities from a Substitute Rating Agency for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate on this Security pursuant to the tables set forth in this Section 2, (ii) such Substitute Rating Agency shall be substituted for the last Interest Rate Rating Agency to provide a rating on the Securities but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (iii) the relative ratings scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt shall be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the applicable table with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Fitch or S&P, as applicable, in such table, and (iv) the interest rate payable on this Security shall

A-5

increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate payable equals the Original Interest Rate plus the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table (taking into account the provisions of clause (iii) in this paragraph (1)) (plus any applicable percentage resulting from a decreased rating by the other Interest Rate Rating Agency);

(2) for so long as only one Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating on the Securities, any increase or decrease in the interest rate payable on this Security necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by that Interest Rate Rating Agency shall be twice the applicable percentage set forth in the applicable table set forth in this Section 2;

(3) if both Interest Rate Rating Agencies cease to provide a rating of the Securities for any reason, and no Substitute Rating Agency has provided a rating on the Securities, the interest rate shall increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% per annum above the Original Interest Rate prior to any such adjustment;

(4) if Fitch or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons within the Company’s control, the Company shall not be entitled to obtain a rating from a Substitute Rating Agency and the increase or decrease in the interest rate on this Security shall be determined in the manner described in this Section 2 as if either only one or no Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating on the Securities, as the case may be;

(5) each interest rate adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating as set forth in this Section 2, whether occasioned by the action of Fitch or S&P (or, in either case, any Substitute Rating Agency), shall be made independently of (and in addition to) any and all other interest rate adjustments occasioned by the action of the other Interest Rate Rating Agency;

(6) in no event shall (i) the interest rate on this Security be reduced to below the Original Interest Rate prior to any such adjustment or (ii) the total increase in the interest rates on this Security pursuant to this Section 2 exceed 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate; and

(7) subject to paragraphs (3) and (4) of this Section 2, no adjustment in the interest rate on this Security shall be made solely as a result of an Interest Rate Rating Agency ceasing to provide a rating of the Securities.

If at any time the interest rate on this Security has been adjusted upward and either of the Interest Rate Rating Agencies subsequently increases its rating of the Securities, the interest rate on this Security shall again be adjusted (and decreased, if appropriate) such that the interest rate on this Security equals the Original Interest Rate prior to any such adjustment plus (if applicable) an amount equal to the sum of the percentages per annum set forth opposite the ratings in the tables set forth in this Section 2 with respect to the ratings assigned to the Securities (or deemed assigned) at that time, all calculated in accordance with the rules of interpretation set forth in this Section 2. If Fitch, S&P or any Substitute Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating on the Securities to “BBB-” (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the interest rate on this Security shall be decreased to the Original Interest Rate prior to any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.

A-6

Any increase or decrease in the interest rate shall take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change occurs requiring an adjustment in the interest rate. If either Interest Rate Rating Agency changes its rating of the Securities more than once during any particular interest period, the last such change by such Interest Rate Rating Agency to occur shall control in the event of a conflict for purposes of any increase or decrease in the interest rate.

The interest rate shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either Interest Rate Rating Agency) if the Securities become rated “BBB+” or higher by Fitch or S&P (or their equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency), in each case with a stable or positive outlook.

If the interest rate payable on this Security is increased as set forth in this Section 2, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.

3. Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Security is entitled to the benefits of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2018 among the Company, nVent and the purchasers party thereto and will be entitled to the payment of additional interest on this Security under the circumstances provided therein. All references in this Security and the Indenture to “interest” shall include any additional interest payable pursuant to such Registration Rights Agreement.

4. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on this Security (except defaulted interest), if any, to the persons in whose name such Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such interest installment. In the event that this Security or a portion hereof is called for redemption and the Redemption Date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on this Security shall be paid upon presentation and surrender of this Security as provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on this Security shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture.

5. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee, shall act as paying agent and Security Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any paying agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Securityholder. The Guarantors, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

6. Indenture. The terms of this Security include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date the Indenture is qualified. This Security is subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. These Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company and constitute the series designated on the face hereof as the “3.950% Senior Notes due 2023”, initially limited to $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

A-7
