2.300% Senior Note due 2024

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), designated as the 2.300% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture dated as of November 19, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture dated November 25, 2019 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and collectively with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled, without notice to or consent of the Holders, to issue additional debt securities under the Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Notes (except for the interest accrual date and first Interest Payment Date) in accordance with the Indenture. The Notes and any additional debt securities will be treated as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to create Liens on assets and engage in Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Indenture also contains a covenant that limits the ability of the Company’s Subsidiaries from incurring Indebtedness or issuing Preferred Stock. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2020. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 25, 2019. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or

4

November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided that payments on a certificated Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or co-Security Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Security Registrar or co-Security Registrar.

In accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to November 1, 2024, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date or (2) the Make-Whole Amount for the Notes, which shall include a make-whole spread of 0.125%.

On or after November 1, 2024, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, which shall include accrued interest on, all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

5

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a corporate transaction that is pending (including, but not limited to, an equity offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness or a transaction that would result in a Change of Control Repurchase Event) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the transaction. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice (i) shall describe each such condition, (ii) shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be postponed, for up to 60 days following the notice of redemption, until such time as any or all such conditions have been satisfied (or waived by the Company) and (iii) may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived by the redemption date. The Company shall notify Holders of any such rescission or postponement as soon as practicable after the Company determines that it will not be able to satisfy or otherwise waive such conditions precedent. Once notice of redemption is mailed or sent, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in paragraph 5 of the Note, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in multiples of $1,000 principal amount) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offer to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this paragraph 6, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this paragraph 6 and all other provisions of the Indenture applicable to the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

6

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control, which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) principal amount or any integral multiple thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Security Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes or governmental charge in relation thereto or permitted by the Indenture. The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the outstanding Notes of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes of any series or portions thereof called for redemption.

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or Governmental Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be and other conditions to defeasance are met.

9

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture with respect to the Notes and the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture with respect to the Notes may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article V of the Base Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or to add additional covenants or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or to add additional events of defaults or to add guarantees or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect or to provide for the issuance of a new series of debt securities under the Indenture or to evidence the appointment of a successor Trustee.

The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

10

An incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

2. a description of how the redemption price will be calculated;

3. the name and address of the Paying Agent;

4. that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

In such event the Company shall give the Trustee 10 days (or such shorter notice as shall be agreed to by the Trustee) prior notice prior to the delivery of the notice.

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a corporate transaction that is pending (including, but not limited to, an equity offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness or a transaction that would result in a Change of Control Repurchase Event) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the transaction. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice (i) shall describe each such condition, (ii) shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be postponed, for up to 60 days following the notice of redemption, until such time as any or all such conditions have been satisfied (or waived by the Company) and (iii) may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived by the redemption date. The Company shall notify Holders of any such rescission or postponement as soon as practicable after the Company determines that

8

it will not be able to satisfy or otherwise waive such conditions precedent. Once notice of redemption is mailed or sent, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

2.950% Senior Note due 2029

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), designated as the 2.950% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture dated as of November 19, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture dated November 25, 2019 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and collectively with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled, without notice to or consent of the Holders, to issue additional debt securities under the Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Notes (except for the interest accrual date and first Interest Payment Date) in accordance with the Indenture. The Notes and any additional debt securities will be treated as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to create Liens on assets and engage in Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Indenture also contains a covenant that limits the ability of the Company’s Subsidiaries from incurring Indebtedness or issuing Preferred Stock. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2020. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November 25, 2019. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or

4

November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided that payments on a certificated Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or co-Security Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Security Registrar or co-Security Registrar.

In accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to September 1, 2029, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date or (2) the Make-Whole Amount for the Notes, which shall include a make-whole spread of 0.200%.

On or after September 1, 2029, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, which shall include accrued interest on, all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

5

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a corporate transaction that is pending (including, but not limited to, an equity offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness or a transaction that would result in a Change of Control Repurchase Event) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the transaction. If such redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice (i) shall describe each such condition, (ii) shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be postponed, for up to 60 days following the notice of redemption, until such time as any or all such conditions have been satisfied (or waived by the Company) and (iii) may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived by the redemption date. The Company shall notify Holders of any such rescission or postponement as soon as practicable after the Company determines that it will not be able to satisfy or otherwise waive such conditions precedent. Once notice of redemption is mailed or sent, subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent provided in the notice of redemption, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in paragraph 5 of the Note, the Company shall make an offer to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in multiples of $1,000 principal amount) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offer to repurchase Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this paragraph 6, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this paragraph 6 and all other provisions of the Indenture applicable to the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article V of the Base Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or to add additional covenants or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or to add additional events of defaults or to add guarantees or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect or to provide for the issuance of a new series of debt securities under the Indenture or to evidence the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Under the Indenture, Events of Default for the Notes include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment of principal on the Notes, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, upon acceleration or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) certain accelerations of other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) is at least $200.0 million; (v) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to pay at maturity at least $200.0 million of other Indebtedness; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company.

Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to the Notes. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

An incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an Authenticating Agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
