ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS

The covenants set forth in this Article VI shall be applicable to the Company in addition to the covenants in Article X of the Base Indenture, which shall in all respects be applicable in respect of the Notes.

Section 6.01 Limitation on Secured Debt. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume, or guarantee any debt securities, bonds, debentures or other similar evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed (“Debt”), secured by a pledge of, or mortgage or other lien on, any Principal Property, now owned or hereafter owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any shares of Capital Stock or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary (“Liens”), without effectively providing that the outstanding Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Company Debt or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinate to the Notes) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt so long as such secured Debt shall be so secured. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to:

(a) Liens existing on the date of the Indenture;

(b) Liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet due or which are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, if adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on the Company’s or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s books in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices;

(c) carriers’, warehousemen’s, mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of business which are not overdue for a period of more than 30 days or which are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, if adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on the Company’s or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s books in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices;

(d) pledges or deposits in the ordinary course of business in connection with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and other social security legislation, other than any Lien imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;

(e) Liens imposed by law or in favor of U.S. or foreign governmental bodies to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments;

(f) Liens to secure the performance of bids, tenders, letters of credit, trade contracts and leases (other than Indebtedness), statutory obligations, surety, customs and appeal bonds, payment performance bonds and other obligations of a like nature incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(g) easements, rights-of-way, restrictions and other similar encumbrances affecting real property which, in the aggregate, are not substantial in amount, and which do not in any case materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of the business of the applicable Person;

(h) Liens created by or resulting from any litigation or other proceeding which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, including Liens arising out of judgments or awards against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in good faith prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review or Liens incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge in the course of any litigation or other proceeding to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is a party;

(i) Liens on any Principal Property acquired (whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, lease or otherwise) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture which are created or assumed prior to, contemporaneously with, or within 360 days after, such acquisition;

(j) Liens on any Principal Property constructed or improved by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture which are created or assumed prior to, contemporaneously with, or within 360 days after, such construction or improvement, to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the cost of such construction or improvement (including related expenditures capitalized for Federal income tax purposes in connection therewith) incurred after the date of the Indenture;

(k) Liens on any property, shares of Capital Stock or Debt existing at the time of acquisition thereof, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, lease or otherwise (including liens on property, shares of capital stock or indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary);

(l) Liens in favor of, or which secure Debt owing to, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

(m) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) as a whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses; provided that in the case of the first, ninth and tenth bullets above (1) such extension, renewal or replacement Lien shall be limited to all or a part of the same property, shares of stock or Debt that secured the Lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property) and (2) the Debt secured by such Lien at such time is not increased.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lien securing outstanding Notes granted pursuant to this Section 6.01 will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release by all Holders of the Debt secured by the Lien giving rise to the Lien securing the outstanding Notes (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Debt) or, with respect to any particular Principal Property or Capital Stock of any particular Restricted Subsidiary securing outstanding Notes, upon any sale, exchange or transfer to any person not an affiliate of the Company of such Principal Property or Capital Stock.

Section 6.02 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. Sale and leaseback transactions by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary involving a Principal Property are prohibited unless either:

(a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, without equally and ratably securing the outstanding Notes, to incur Debt secured by a Lien on such property, pursuant to Section 6.01; or

(b) the Company, within 360 days after such transaction, applies an amount not less than the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal Property leased pursuant to such arrangement to (x) the retirement of the Company’s Funded Debt; provided that the amount to be applied to the retirement of the Company’s Funded Debt shall be reduced by (1) the principal amount of any outstanding Notes delivered within 360 days after such sale to the Trustee for retirement and cancellation, and (2) the principal amount of Funded Debt, other than outstanding Notes, voluntarily retired by the Company within 360 days after such sale or (y) the purchase, construction or development of other property, facilities or equipment used or useful in the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no retirement referred to in this Section 6.02(b) may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or mandatory prepayment provision. This restriction shall not apply to a sale and leaseback transaction between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries or involving the taking back of a lease for a period of less than three years.

Section 6.03 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of this First Supplemental Indenture on limitations on secured Debt and limitations on sale and leaseback transactions, respectively, the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur, issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a Lien on any Principal Property or on any Capital Stock or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company owning any Principal Property, or engage in the sale or transfer of any Principal Property and the leaseback of such Principal Property by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiary, provided that at the time of such restricted transaction, after giving effect thereto, and to the retirement of any Debt which is concurrently being retired, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Debt secured by Liens on any Principal Property or on any Capital Stock or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company owning any Principal Property, together with the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt outstanding in respect of sale and leaseback transactions does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company.

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($400,000,000) on, and to pay interest thereon from December 10, 2021 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for at the rate of 2.300% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Securities shall be payable semi-annually in arrears in U.S. Dollars on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2022 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). 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 Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the June 1 and December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”), and on December 15, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”). If any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date, any redemption date or other payment date of the Securities is not a Business Day, then the relevant payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.

Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will 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 fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities 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 may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Payment of the principal of this Security and, unless otherwise paid as hereinafter provided, the interest (if any) thereon will be made at the office or agency of the Company in New York, New York or at such other office or agency as designated by the Trustee, 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 payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check or draft mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address appearing in the Security Register. Additional provisions of this Security are set forth on the reverse hereof.

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 or electronic 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.
