2.125% Senior Notes due 2024

United Parcel Service, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CDS & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [•] (C$[•]), or such other principal amount as may be set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture, on May 21, 2024 and to pay interest thereon from May 18, 2017, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on May 21 and November 21 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on November 21, 2017 at the rate of 2.125% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

Interest payable on this Security on any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date of this Security, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date (other than the maturity date) is not a Business Day at the relevant place of payment, the Company will pay interest on the next day that is a Business Day at such place of payment as if payment were made on the date such payment was due, except that if such Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date (other than the maturity date) shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the maturity date of the Securities is not a Business Day at the relevant place of payment, the Company will pay interest, if any, and principal and premium, if any, on the next day that is a Business Day at such place of payment as if payment 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 immediately succeeding Business Day. The rights of Holders of beneficial interests in the Security to receive the payments of interest on such Security are subject to the applicable procedures of CDS.

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 Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day, which shall be the close of business on May 6 and November 6 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable on the maturity date or any redemption date shall be payable to the Person to whom the principal of this Security shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (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 set by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities 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 Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation or executive order to close in Toronto, Ontario, Canada or New York, New York, United States.

The term “maturity,” when used with respect to a Security, means the date on which the principal of such Security or an installment of principal becomes due and payable as therein provided or as provided in the Indenture, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, repayment or otherwise.

All payments of Maturity Consideration and interest will be made in the lawful currency of Canada (“CAD”).

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 26, 2003 (as supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to Citibank, N.A.), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

Optional Redemption

The Securities are redeemable at any time and from time to time prior to March 21, 2024 (the “Par Call Date”) as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on at least 30 days’, but not more than 60 days’, prior notice mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the applicable procedures of CDS) to the registered address of each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; and (ii) the Canada Yield Price, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and additional amounts, if any.

“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Securities being redeemed, the price, in respect of the Securities, calculated as of the third business day prior to the redemption date of such Securities, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Securities to be redeemed from the redemption date to the Par Call Date using a discount rate equal to the Government of Canada Yield on such business day plus 21.5 basis points.

“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada selected by the Company, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond maturing on the Par Call Date would carry if issued in Canadian dollars in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on the redemption date.

The Securities will be redeemable at any time on or after the Par Call Date, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, on at least 30 days’, but not more than 60 days’, prior notice mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the applicable procedures of CDS) to the registered address of each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.


If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all of the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the trustee or paying agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after such redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on such Securities (or such portion thereof) called for redemption.

On or before the redemption date, the Company will deposit with the paying agent or set aside, segregate and hold in trust (if the Company is acting as paying agent), funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Securities to be redeemed on that redemption date. If fewer than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the trustee will select, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the particular Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed from the outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided that if the Securities are represented by one or more global Securities, beneficial interests in the Securities will be selected for redemption by CDS in accordance with its standard procedures therefor.

The Company may at any time, and from time to time, purchase the Securities at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise.

Payment of Additional Amounts

Subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, the Company will pay to or on account of any United States Alien Holder (as defined below) such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that every net payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on such Securities, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, 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 of the United States, will be equal to the amount that would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, the Company will not pay additional amounts for or on account of:

 

  (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Security (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such person, if such person is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such person (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation, where required, by the Holder of any such Securities for payment on a date more than 15 calendar days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

  (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;


  (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the Holder or beneficial owner’s past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization with respect to the United States;

 

  (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of any Security;

 

  (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Security, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

  (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the Holder or beneficial owner (or any financial institution through which the Holder or beneficial owner holds any Security or through which payment on the Security is made) to comply with any certification, information, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements (including entering into and complying with an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service) imposed pursuant to, or complying with any requirements imposed under an intergovernmental agreement entered into between the United States and the government of another country in order to implement the requirements of, Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on the date of issuance of the Securities or any successor or amended version of these provisions, to the extent such successor or amended version is not materially more onerous to comply with than these provisions as enacted on such date;

 

  (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Company or as a direct or indirect affiliate of the Company;

 

  (h) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be deducted or withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on a Security upon presentation of such Security, where required, if such payment can be made without such deduction or withholding upon presentation of such Security, where required, to any other Paying Agent located in Canada;

 

  (i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank (i) purchasing the Securities in the ordinary course of its lending business or (ii) that is neither (A) buying the Securities for investment purposes only nor (B) buying the Securities for resale to a third-party that either is not a bank or holding the Securities for investment purposes only; or


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

nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment on a Security to a United States Alien Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the additional amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Securities.

The term “United States Alien Holder” means any beneficial owner of a Security that is not, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if such trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. Except as specifically provided in this instrument, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

The Securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Securities.

Redemption for Tax Reasons

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States or of any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after May 18, 2017, the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described above with respect to the Securities of this series, then the Company may at any time at the Company’s option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Securities of this series on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts on the Securities of this series to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Company exercises its option to redeem the Securities of this series pursuant to this paragraph, it shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that it is entitled to redeem the Securities of this series and an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that the circumstances described in this paragraph exist.


Unless the Company defaults on the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed.

Additional Covenants

The Company will not create, assume, incur or guarantee, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create, assume, incur or guarantee, any Secured Indebtedness without making provision whereby this Security shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Secured Indebtedness, together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created that is not subordinate to this Security, so long as the Secured Indebtedness shall be outstanding, unless such Secured Indebtedness, when added to (a) the aggregate amount of all Secured Indebtedness then outstanding (not including in this computation Secured Indebtedness if this Security is secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Indebtedness and further not including in this computation any Secured Indebtedness that is concurrently being retired) and (b) the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt then outstanding pursuant to Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into by the Company after January 26, 1999, or entered into by a Restricted Subsidiary after January 26, 1999 or, if later, the date on which it became a Restricted Subsidiary (not including in this computation any Attributable Debt that is concurrently being retired), would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

of Indebtedness secured by such Lien or is in a principal amount in excess of the principal amount of Indebtedness excluded from the definition of “Secured Indebtedness” by subparagraphs (a) through (i) above, the amount of such increase or excess will be considered to be “Secured Indebtedness.”

In no event shall the foregoing provisions be interpreted to mean that the same Indebtedness is included more than once in the calculation of “Secured Indebtedness” as that term is used in this Security, nor shall their operation cause this result.

The Indenture contains provisions whereby (i) the Company may be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Securities (subject to certain exceptions) or (ii) the Company may be released from its obligation under specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company satisfies certain conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. For purposes of such provisions, Canadian government securities shall be used instead of United States government securities in respect of payments due in CAD on the Securities of this series.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series issued under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment or delivery of the Maturity Consideration hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.


No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall affect or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Maturity Consideration and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the manner, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this Security, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the Maturity Consideration and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Security Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Except in the limited circumstances described in Section 3.05 of the Indenture, this Security shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and a common depositary for the accounts of CDS shall be the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. Clause 2(A)(ii) of the eighth paragraph of Section 3.05 of the Indenture shall be inapplicable to this Security.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in fully registered book-entry form in minimum denominations of C$1,000 and integral multiples of C$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Notices to Holders of the Securities of this series will be sent by mail or email to the registered Holders, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the applicable depositary.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws of such state.


All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.


This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the Indenture.
