ARTICLE 2

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Designation and Principal Amount. The Notes are hereby authorized and are designated the 2.650% Senior Notes due 2019, unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The Notes issued on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will be in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000, which amount shall be set forth in the written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture. In addition, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, additional Notes ranking equally and ratably with the Notes issued hereunder in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest following the Issue Date of such further Notes), so that such

further Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and shall be governed by the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.02. Maturity. The principal amount of the Notes will be payable on November 1, 2019.

Section 2.03. Form and Payment. The Notes will be issued as global notes, in fully registered book-entry form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, on the global notes representing the Notes will be made to The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”).

The global notes representing the Notes will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and will be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. No global note may be transferred except as a whole by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be the sole Holder of the Notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as otherwise provided herein, each actual purchaser of each Note represented by a global note (“Beneficial Owner”) will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no global note representing the Notes shall be exchangeable or transferable. Accordingly, each Beneficial Owner must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Beneficial Owner is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such Beneficial Owner owns its interest in order to exercise any rights of a Holder under such global note or the Indenture.

The global notes representing the Notes will be exchangeable for certificated Notes of like tenor and terms and of differing authorized denominations aggregating a like principal amount, only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the global notes, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law and a successor to the Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (iii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the global notes shall be exchangeable for certificated Notes and notifies the Trustee of such determination or (iv) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes. Upon any such exchange, the certificated Notes shall be registered in the names of the Beneficial

Owners of the global notes representing the Notes, which names shall be provided by the Depositary’s relevant participants (as identified by the Depositary) to the Trustee. In such event the Company will execute, and subject to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global notes in exchange for such global notes. Upon the exchange of the global notes for such Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the global notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such Notes in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the global notes shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Notes to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

Section 2.04. Interest. The Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 2.650% per annum. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from November 7, 2012, or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided upon for the Notes, as the case may be. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing May 1, 2013 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on April 15 and October 15 (even if such date is not a Business Day), as the case may be, preceding such Interest Payment Date.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice.

If the Redemption Date occurs before the date that is one month prior to the Stated Maturity, the Company will pay the Holders of the Notes being redeemed a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of their redeemed Notes, or (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining principal amount and scheduled payments of interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including the portion of any such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date in accordance with customary market practice on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year

consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

If the Redemption Date occurs on or after the date that is one month prior to the Stated Maturity, the Company will pay the Holders of the Notes being redeemed a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of their redeemed Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes, or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee may select for redemption Notes and portions of the Notes in principal amounts of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.02. No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Section 3.03. Change of Control Offer.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(b) The Company will be required to send a notice to each Holder of the Notes by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control. The notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and will describe, among other things, the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and the purchase date. The purchase date will be at least 30 days but no more than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). If the notice is mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, the notice will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(i) accept for payment all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes not validly withdrawn;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent the required payment for all properly tendered Notes or portions of Notes not validly withdrawn; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the repurchased Notes, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of repurchased Notes.

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

(e) The Company will 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 Notes 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 the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

ARTICLE 4

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 4.01. Events of Default. Pursuant to Section 5.01(g) of the Base Indenture, “Event of Default” in respect of the Notes and only in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include any failure by the Company to make a Change of Control Offer and thereafter accept and pay for the Notes tendered when and as required in accordance with Section 3.03 of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

ARTICLE 5

SECTION 10.10. LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any sale and leaseback transaction with respect to any Principal Property (except for temporary leases of a term, including renewals, not exceeding five years) unless either (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture as supplemented, to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Notes, or (b) the Company within 180 days after the effective date of such transaction applies to the voluntary retirement of its funded debt an amount equal to the value of such transaction, defined as the greater of the net proceeds of the sale of the property leased in such transaction or the fair value, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, of the leased property at the time such transaction was entered into.

SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

Compliance with Sections 10.09 and 10.10 may not be waived by the Trustee unless the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes Outstanding consent to such waiver; provided, however, that the Company need not comply with Sections 10.09 and 10.10 in the event it elects to comply with Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 of this Indenture.

Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders of this series of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse side hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

KENNAMETAL INC.

2.650% Senior Notes due 2019

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the “Securities”) specified in the Indenture (as defined below), all issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February 14, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated November 7, 2012 (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Indenture.

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice. If the Redemption Date occurs before the date that is one month prior to the Stated Maturity, the Company will pay the Holders of the Notes being redeemed a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of their redeemed Notes, or (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including the portion of any such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date in accordance with customary market practice on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. If the Redemption Date occurs on or after the date that is one month prior to the Stated Maturity, the Company will pay the Holders of the Notes being redeemed 100% of the principal amount of their redeemed Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed thereon to the Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

If less than all of the Notes of a series are to redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee may select for redemption Notes and portions of Notes

in principal amounts of whole multiples of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), Holders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (a) the entire indebtedness of this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Notes may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series affected at the time Outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of, among other things, adding any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that, among other things, no such supplemental indenture shall (i) reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (subject to the Company’s right to defer such payments in the manner set forth herein), or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the Holder of each Note so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Note then Outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting, among other things, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of all of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to such series, and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange for or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

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 premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, place and at the rates and in the money herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable by the registered Holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania duly endorsed by, or accompanied by, a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, and such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to, among other things, merge or consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets or create or incur liens on certain of its property. All such covenants and limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must report periodically to the Trustee on compliance with the covenants in the Indenture.

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes of this series or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures (“CUSIP”), the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

The Notes of this series are issuable only in fully registered book-entry form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. This Global Note is exchangeable for Notes in definitive form only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

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