McDONALD’S CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, on the Stated Maturity shown above, the principal sum specified above (or so much thereof as shall then remain outstanding) in the currency specified above (the “Specified Currency”) and to pay interest on the principal sum outstanding from time to time in the Specified Currency at the Interest Rate shown above from and including the Original Issue Date shown above or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, on but excluding February 15 and August 15 of each year and at but excluding Maturity (each such day being an “Interest Payment Date”), until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on this Note, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date as specified on the face hereof shall, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest as which, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, shall be the February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding an Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date, the interest so payable for the period from the Original Issue Date to such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the Registered Holder hereof on the related Regular Record Date.

If any payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the required payment of principal, premium (if any) and/or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on such required payment for the period from and after the payment due date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” means any day, other than Saturday or Sunday, that is (i) neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in (a) The City of New York, (b) the City of Chicago, or (c) if the Specified Currency for this Note is other than U.S. dollars or euro, the Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing such currency; or (ii) if the Specified Currency for this Note is euro, a day on which the TARGET System is operating or in any other place or any other days as may be specified herein. “Principal Financial Center” will be the capital city of the country of the Specified Currency, except that with respect to Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars and Swiss francs, the Principal Financial Center shall be Sydney, Toronto, The City of New York and Zurich, respectively.

The principal hereof and any premium and interest hereon are payable by the Company in the Specified Currency shown above. If the Specified Currency shown above is other than U.S. dollars, the Company or the Paying Agent will (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) arrange to convert all payments in respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described on the reverse hereof. The Holder hereof may, if so indicated above, elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payments in respect hereof in the Specified Currency by delivery of a written notice to the Paying Agent on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent received on or prior to the applicable record date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. If the Company determines that the Specified Currency is not available to the Company for making payments in respect hereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control, then the Holder hereof may not so elect to receive payments in the Specified Currency, and any such outstanding election shall be automatically suspended, and payments shall be in U.S. dollars, until the Company determines that the Specified Currency is again available to the Company for making such payments.

If this Note is a Certificated Note, payments of interest in U.S. dollars (other than interest payable at Maturity) will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Debt Security Register on the applicable Regular Record Date, provided that, if the Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S. $10,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars determined as provided on the reverse hereof) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor and term, such U.S. dollar interest payments will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, but only if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Simultaneously with any election by the Holder hereof to receive payments in respect hereof in the Specified Currency (if other than U.S. dollars), such Holder shall provide appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent and all such payments will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the principal hereof and any premium and interest hereon payable at Maturity will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the Place of Payment. If this Note is a Global Security, beneficial owners of interest herein will be paid in accordance with DTC’s and its participants’ procedures in effect from time to time.

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

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof (or by an Authenticating Agent, as provided in the Indenture) by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE

(FIXED RATE)

This Note is one of a single series of duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (the “Debt Securities”) of a single series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of October 19, 1996 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (formerly, First Union National Bank), as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various currencies, may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Debt Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, which may be issued without limitation as to aggregate principal amount. The U.S. dollar equivalent of the public offering price or purchase price of Notes denominated in foreign currency will be determined by an agent designated by the Company, which initially shall be The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Paying Agent”), on the basis of the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) for such currencies on the applicable trade dates.

“Maturity,” when used with respect to this Note, means the date on which the principal of this Note or an installment of principal becomes due and payable as provided herein or in the Indenture, whether at Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof in the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, the authorized denominations of Notes denominated in U.S. dollars will be U.S.$1,000 and any larger amount that is a multiple of U.S.$1,000. The authorized denominations of Notes denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be as set forth on the respective faces thereof.

Each Note will be issued initially as either a Book-Entry Note or a Certificated Note.

If the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars, the amount of any U.S. dollar payment to be made in respect hereof will be determined by the Paying Agent based on the highest firm bid quotation in The City of New York expressed in U.S. dollars received by the Paying Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day before the applicable payment date (or, if no such rate is quoted on such date, the Paying Agent will use the last date on which such rate was quoted), from three (or, if three are not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers in New York City (which may include the agents, their affiliates or the Paying Agent) selected by the Paying Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable on such payment date in respect of all Notes denominated in such Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holders of such Notes by deductions from such U.S. dollar payments. If at least two such bid quotations are not available, then such payments will be made in the Specified Currency, unless the Specified Currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company’s control, in which case payment will be made as described in the next paragraph.

If the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars and this Note is a Global Note, the Holder of a beneficial interest in this Global Note may elect to receive a payment or payments in the Specified Currency by notifying the DTC participant through which its Notes are held on or prior to the applicable Record Date of (1) the Holder’s election to receive all or a portion of the payment in the Specified Currency, and (2) wire transfer instructions to an account located outside of the United States. DTC must be notified of an election and wire transfer instructions (1) on or prior to the third New York Business Day (as defined below) after the Record Date for any payment of interest, and (2) on or prior to the tenth New York Business Day after the Record Date for any payment of principal. DTC will notify the Paying Agent of an election and wire transfer instructions (1) on or prior to 5:00 P.M. New York City time on the fifth New York Business Day after the Record Date for any payment of interest, and (2) on or prior to 5:00 P.M. New York City time on the twelfth New York Business Day after the Record Date for any payment of principal. If complete instructions are forwarded to DTC through DTC participants and by DTC to the Paying Agent on or prior to such dates, such Holder will receive payment in the Specified Currency outside of DTC; otherwise, only U.S. dollar payments will be made by the Paying Agent to DTC.

The term “New York Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

Except as set forth below, if any payment in respect hereof is required to be made in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such currency is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency (unless otherwise replaced by the euro) or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then such payment shall be made in U.S. dollars until such currency is again available to the Company or so used. The amount so payable in such foreign currency shall be converted into U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for such currency or as otherwise indicated on the face hereof. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

If the principal of and any interest and premium, if any, on the Notes is payable in any Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and (i) the country of which such Specified Currency has been a currency of legal tender for the payment of public and private debts (the “Currency Country”) becomes a Participating Member State (as defined below), then the Company may, solely at its option and without the consent of the Holders of such Notes or the need to amend the Indenture, on any Interest Payment Date after the date on which such country has become a Participating Member State has occurred, (such Interest Payment Date, a “Redenomination Date”), redenominate all of those Notes into euro upon the giving of not less than 30 days’ notice thereof in accordance with the terms of such Notes, which notice shall set forth the manner in which such redenomination shall be effected. If the Company elects to redenominate a tranche of Notes, the election to redenominate will have effect as follows:

1.            each denomination will be deemed to be denominated in such amount of euro as is equivalent to its denomination or the amount of interest in the Specified Currency at the Fixed Conversion Rate (as defined below) adopted by the Council of the European Union for the Specified Currency, rounded down to the nearest euro 0.01;

2.            after the Redenomination Date, all payments in respect of those Notes, other than payments of interest in respect of periods commencing before the Redenomination Date, will be made solely in euro as though references in those Notes to the Specified Currency were to euro. Payments will be made in euro by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee, or at the option of the payee, by a euro cheque;

3.            if those Notes bear interest at a fixed rate and interest for any period ending on or after the Redenomination Date is required to be calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on the basis of the applicable fraction specified in the pricing supplement; and

4.            such other changes shall be made to the terms of those Notes as we may decide, after consultation with the Trustee, and as may be specified in the notice, to conform them to conventions then applicable to debt securities denominated in euro or to enable those Notes to be consolidated with other notes, whether or not originally denominated in the Specified Currency or euro. Any such other changes will not take effect until after they have been notified to the Holders.

The definitions of Business Day and Market Day that shall apply to the Notes for payments on or in respect thereof following any redenomination thereof and for all other purposes under the Notes and under the Indenture shall be (A) business day and market day definitions for fixed or floating rate (as applicable) euro-denominated debt obligations issued in the Euromarkets and held in international clearing systems which are consistent with existing or anticipated market practices as determined by the Company or (B) if no such Business Day and Market Day definitions are so determined, the definitions of Business Day and Market Day which applied to such Notes before redenomination or (C) if the Company would be unable to make payments on the Notes on the date that payment is expressed to be due if (B) above were to apply, such other business day and market day definitions as are determined by the Company.

The Company may, with the consent of the Trustee, and without the need to obtain the consent of the Holders of any Note, make any changes or additions to the terms of the Notes of a series which correct any manifest error or any ambiguity or correct or supplement any defective provisions described herein, and which changes or additions the Company and the Trustee believe are not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes of such series. Any such change or addition shall be binding on the Company, the Holders of the Notes of such series, the Trustee, the Paying Agents and any other agent of the Company. Any change or addition shall be considered to be made by operation of the terms of the relevant Notes. The Company shall promptly give notice of any such change or addition.

For purposes hereof, “EMU Event” means any event associated with EMU in the European Community, including, without limitation, each (and any combination) of (i) the fixing of exchange rates between the currency of a Participating Member State and the euro or between the currencies of Participating Members States; (ii) the introduction of the euro as lawful currency in a Participating Member State; (iii) the withdrawal from legal tender of any currency that, before the introduction of the euro, was lawful currency in any of the Participating Member States; or (iv) the disappearance or replacement of a relevant rate option or other price source for the national currency of any participating Member State, or the failure of the agreed price or rate sponsor (or a successor sponsor) or screen provider to publish or display the required information.

If so specified on the face hereof, the Company may, at its option, redeem this Note in whole, or from time to time in part in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture, on the date or dates designated as the Optional Redemption Date(s) on the face hereof, at the Redemption Price(s) specified on the face hereof declining from a specified premium, if any, to par, together with accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may exercise such option by causing the Trustee or the Paying Agent to mail a notice of such redemption at least 10 but not more than 45 days prior to the applicable Optional Redemption Date. Any such redemption of this Note may, at the Company’s option, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. Any related written notice of redemption shall describe the conditions precedent and, at the Company’s option, shall indicate that the Optional Redemption Date may be delayed or the written notice rescinded if all such conditions precedent shall not have been satisfied or waived. The Company shall be solely responsible for determining whether any such conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived and in the event of any delay or rescission of redemption, written notice shall be provided by the date of redemption. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If so specified on the face hereof, this Note will be repayable prior to its Stated Maturity at the option of the Holder on the Optional Repayment Date(s) shown on the face hereof at the Optional Repayment Price(s) shown on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the date of repayment. In order for this Note to be repaid, the Paying Agent must receive at least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to an Optional Repayment Date (i) this Note with the form below entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed; or (ii) a facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the Holder of this Note, the principal amount of the Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this Note, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note with the form below entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed will be received by the Paying Agent not later than five Business Days after the date of such facsimile transmission or letter. If the procedure described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence is followed, this Note with the form duly completed must be received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Any tender of this Note for repayment shall be irrevocable. The repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Note for less than the entire principal amount of the Note, provided that the principal amount of this Note remaining outstanding after repayment is an authorized denomination. Upon such partial repayment, this Note shall be canceled and a new Note or Notes for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Note.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. Any such sinking fund shall be administered in accordance with the terms specified on the face hereof and otherwise as set forth in the Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, the amount payable in the event of redemption or repayment prior to the Stated Maturity hereof, in lieu of the principal amount due at the Stated Maturity hereof, shall be the Amortized Face Amount of this Note as of the Optional Redemption Date or the Optional Repayment Date, as the case may be. The “Amortized Face Amount” of this Note shall be the amount equal to (a) the Issue Price (as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) that portion of the difference between the Issue Price and the principal amount hereof that has accrued at the Yield to Stated Maturity (as set forth on the face hereof) (computed in accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield computation principles) at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated, but in no event shall the Amortized Face Amount of this Note, if it is an Original Issue Discount Note, exceed its principal amount.

If this Note is a Global Security, ownership of beneficial interests herein will be limited to participants in DTC or persons that hold interests through such participants, and the transfer of beneficial interests herein will be effected only through records maintained by DTC (and with respect to interests of participants in DTC) and by participants in DTC or persons that may hold interests through such participants (with respect to persons other than participants in DTC).

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Person surrendering the same.

If this Note is a Global Security, this Note is exchangeable only if (x) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for this Note or if at any time DTC ceases to be in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company does not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware that DTC is no longer in good standing; or (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Note shall be exchanged for Certificated Notes in definitive form, provided that the definitive Notes so issued in exchange for this Note shall be in authorized denominations and be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor and terms as the portion of this Note to be exchanged. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Note (if a Global Security) will not be entitled to have this Note or Notes represented by this Note registered in their names or receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Debt Security register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, duly endorsed by or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Debt Security registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, 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 may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of the Debt Securities at the time outstanding (as defined in the Indenture) to be affected (each series voting as a class), evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debt Security, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount or premium if any, thereon, or make the principal thereof, or premium if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided, without the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security so affected or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon acceleration of maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt Securities the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, as defined in the Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, 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 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or upon any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed.
