As representatives of the several Purchasers

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Second Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement, dated May 19, 2016 (the “Distribution Agreement”), between 3M Company (the “Company”) on the one hand and the agents from time to time a party thereto (the “Agents”) on the other relating to the issuance and sale by the Company from time to time of its medium-term notes, Series F (the “MTN Program”). The Company proposes to issue and sell to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and each of the other entities identified in Schedule I hereto (such other entities, the “Additional Agents” and, collectively with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, the “Purchasers”), for whom Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC are acting as representatives, the securities specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchased Securities”).  The Company hereby appoints each of the Additional Agents (to the extent that such Additional Agent is not already party to the Distribution Agreement) as an Agent under the MTN Program but only in respect of the Purchased Securities and each of the Additional Agents hereby accepts such appointment.  For the purposes of the sale and offering of the Purchased Securities as contemplated hereby, each of the Additional Agents named herein agrees that it shall be bound by the obligations of Agents set forth in, and shall be entitled to the benefits of such Agents pursuant to, the provisions of the Distribution Agreement and each of the provisions of the Distribution Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt,

1

the Administrative Procedure (as defined therein) and any provisions related to the solicitation by the Agents, as agents of the Company, of offers to purchase Securities) is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein.  Nothing contained herein or in the Distribution Agreement shall make any party hereto an agent of the Company or make such party subject to the provisions therein relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase Securities from the Company, solely by virtue of its execution of this Terms Agreement.  Each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement to the Purchasers, except that each representation and warranty in Section 1 of the Distribution Agreement which makes reference to the Prospectus shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty as of the date of the Distribution Agreement in relation to the Prospectus (as therein defined), and also a representation and a warranty as of the date of this Terms Agreement in relation to the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to relate to the Purchased Securities.

A supplement to the Prospectus relating to the Purchased Securities, in a form satisfactory to you will be filed with the Commission within the time period specified in Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

1.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Distribution Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers identified in Schedule I hereto, and such Purchasers severally agree to purchase from the Company the Purchased Securities, at the time and place, in the respective principal amounts and at the respective purchase prices set forth in Schedule I hereto.

2.If one or more of the Purchasers shall fail at the Time of Delivery to purchase the Purchased Securities (the “Defaulted Securities”), then the nondefaulting Purchasers shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one of them or one or more other Purchasers to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:

(a)if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Securities, the nondefaulting Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective initial obligations under this Terms Agreement bear to the obligations of all nondefaulting Purchasers under this Terms Agreement; or

(b)if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Securities, this Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Purchaser.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 2 shall relieve any defaulting Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.  In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Terms Agreement, either the nondefaulting Purchasers or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period not exceeding seven days in order to

2

effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

3.The Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, to pay the fees and disbursements of their counsel in the same proportion as the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto (it being understood that nothing in this provision shall impact the obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 of the Distribution Agreement).

3

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, and upon acceptance hereof by you this letter and such acceptance hereof, including those provisions of the Distribution Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between you and the Company.

Optional Make-Whole Redemption and Redemption at Par Prior to Maturity

Prior to the Applicable Par Call Date (as defined below), the 3.000% Notes due 2021, the 3.250% Notes due 2024, the 3.625% Notes due 2028 and the 4.000% Notes due 2048 will be redeemable at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, at 3M Company’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of

·100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, and

·as determined by the quotation agent (as defined below), the sum of (a) the present value of the payment of principal on the notes to be redeemed and (b) the present values of the scheduled payments of interest on such notes to be redeemed that would have been payable from the date of redemption to the Applicable Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption, each discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the treasury rate (as defined below) plus, in the case of the 3.000% Notes due 2021, 5 basis points, in the case of the 3.250% Notes due 2024, 7.5 basis points, in the case of the 3.625% Notes due 2028, 10 basis points, or in the case of the 4.000% Notes due 2048, 15 basis points,

plus, in the case of both clauses above, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to the redemption date.

In addition, at any time on or after the Applicable Par Call Date, each of the 3.000% Notes due 2021, the 3.250% Notes due 2024, the 3.625% Notes due 2028 and the 4.000% Notes due 2048 will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at 3M Company’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

“Applicable Par Call Date” means (1) with respect to the 3.000% Notes due 2021, August 14, 2021 (one month prior to the maturity of the 3.000% Notes due 2021), (2) with respect to the 3.250% Notes due 2024, January 14, 2024 (one month prior to the maturity of the 3.250% Notes due 2024), (3) with respect to the 3.625% Notes due 2028, June 14, 2028 (three months prior to the maturity of the 3.625% Notes due 2028) and (4) with respect to the 4.000% Notes due 2048, March 14, 2048 (six months prior to the maturity of the 4.000% Notes due 2048).

“Comparable treasury issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the quotation agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of notes to be redeemed as if the notes matured on the Applicable Par Call Date that would be utilized, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed.

“Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of at least three reference treasury dealer quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five or more reference treasury dealer quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five reference dealer quotations, the average of all reference treasury dealer quotations so obtained.

“Quotation agent” means the reference treasury dealer appointed by 3M Company.

“Reference treasury dealer” means (i) each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors; however, if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), 3M Company will substitute another primary treasury dealer; and (ii) any other primary treasury dealer(s) selected by 3M Company.

“Reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by 3M Company, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by the reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

“Treasury rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the annual rate equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price of the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for that redemption date.

In the case of a partial redemption of the 3.000% Notes due 2021, the 3.250% Notes due 2024, the 3.625% Notes due 2028 or the 4.000% Notes due 2048, selection of the notes for redemption will be made pro rata, if commercially practicable in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary, and if not, then by lot or such other method as required in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary. The notes will be redeemed in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such notes will state the portion of such notes to be redeemed.  New notes in principal amounts of at least $2,000 equal to the unredeemed portion of the notes will be issued in the name of the holder of the notes upon surrender for cancellation of the original notes.  Unless 3M Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or the portions of the notes called for redemption.

Supplemental Information Concerning LIBOR

If you purchase a LIBOR note, your note will bear interest at a base rate equal to the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars, which is referred to as “LIBOR”. In addition, the applicable LIBOR base rate will be adjusted by the Spread, specified above. LIBOR will be determined in the following manner:

·LIBOR will be the offered rate appearing on the designated LIBOR page, as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the relevant LIBOR interest determination date, for deposits of the relevant index currency having the relevant index maturity beginning on the relevant interest reset date.

·If no rate appears on the designated LIBOR page, then LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the relevant LIBOR interest determination date, at which deposits of the following kind are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in that market selected by the calculation agent, after consultation with us: deposits of the index currency having the relevant index maturity, beginning on the relevant interest reset date, and in a representative amount. The calculation agent will request the principal London office of each of these banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR for the relevant LIBOR interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.

·If fewer than two quotations are provided as described in the prior paragraph, LIBOR for the relevant LIBOR interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading European banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the principal financial center, on that LIBOR interest determination date, by three major banks in that financial center selected by the calculation agent: loans of the index currency having the relevant index maturity, beginning on the relevant interest reset date, and in a representative amount.

·If fewer than three banks selected by the calculation agent are quoting as described in the prior paragraph, LIBOR for the new interest period will be LIBOR in effect for the prior interest period. If the initial base rate has been in effect for the prior interest period, however, it will remain in effect for the new interest period.

Notwithstanding the above, if we determine on or prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date, after consultation with an independent financial advisor selected by us in our sole discretion, that LIBOR has ceased to be calculated or administered or is no longer viewed as an acceptable benchmark rate in accordance with accepted market practice for debt obligations such as the Floating Rate Notes, then we will appoint in our sole discretion an independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine whether there is a substitute or successor base rate to LIBOR that is consistent with accepted market practice for debt obligations such as the Floating Rate Notes (the “Alternative Rate”). If the IFA determines that there is an Alternative Rate, for each future Interest Determination

Date, the calculation agent shall use such Alternative Rate as a substitute for LIBOR in calculating the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes. As part of such substitution, the calculation agent will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates, Interest Reset Dates and related provisions and definitions (“Adjustments”), in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate, all as determined and directed by the IFA; provided, however, that the calculation agent shall not be required to implement any such Adjustments that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture, the Calculation Agency Agreement or otherwise. If the IFA determines that there is no such Alternative Rate as provided above, LIBOR will be equal to the rate of interest in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the initial Interest Determination Date, the rate of interest will be equal to the Initial Interest Rate.

Supplemental Risk Factor with Respect to the Fixed Rate Notes

If interest rates increase, in most cases the market value of the notes will decrease and, if you sell the notes prior to maturity, you will receive less than the principal amount of the notes.

Supplemental Risk Factor with Respect to the Floating Rate Notes

Reform and impending regulation of LIBOR could adversely affect interest paid on, and could result in certain changes to the terms of, the Floating Rate Notes due 2024.

The Floating Rate Notes due 2024 will bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR. LIBOR and other “benchmark” rates are the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform. For example, on July 27, 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR benchmark after 2021 (the “FCA Announcement”). The FCA Announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. Following the implementation of such reforms or any other reforms to LIBOR or other benchmark rates that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the European Union or elsewhere, the manner of administration of such benchmarks may change, with the result that such benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, such benchmarks could be eliminated entirely, or there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted. If LIBOR ceases to be calculated or administered or is no longer viewed as an acceptable benchmark rate, this could result in an adjustment to the spread or other related provisions of the Floating Rate Notes due 2024, or result in other consequences in respect of the Floating Rate Notes due 2024. We can give no assurance that we and the calculation agent will be able to identify an Alternative Rate (as defined herein). If LIBOR ceases to be calculated or administered or is no longer viewed as an acceptable benchmark rate, there can be no guarantee that an agreed-upon Alternative Rate will be in place. If no Alternative Rate can be determined, the relevant rate of interest will be equal to the rate of interest in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date (which, in the case of the initial Interest Determination Date applicable to the Floating Rate Notes due 2024, will be equal to the Initial Interest Rate and the return received therefrom by holders of the Floating Rate Notes due 2024 may be different from the return received if the relevant floating interest rate was reset on the relevant Interest Reset Date using the 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, as applicable. Moreover, even if an Alternative Rate is identified, the return received by holders of the Floating Rate Notes due 2024 may be different using such Alternative Rate from the return received using the 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.

Supplemental Information Concerning Plan of Distribution

Reference is made to the “Plan of Distribution” section of 3M Company’s prospectus supplement, dated May 5, 2017, relating to 3M Company’s offering of its Medium-Term Notes, Series F of which the notes offered hereby are a part.  The following information supplements such Plan of Distribution:

It is expected  that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about September 14, 2018, which is the third business day following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that

the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

Some of the Agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with 3M Company or 3M Company’s affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

The Agents and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging financing and brokerage activities.  Certain of the Agents and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for 3M Company or its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their business activities, the Agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers.  Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of 3M Company or its affiliates.  The Agents or their affiliates may have a lending relationship with 3M Company and certain of the Agents or their affiliates routinely hedge, have hedged and are likely in the future to hedge, or may hedge, their credit exposure to 3M Company consistent with their customary risk management policies.  Typically, these Agents and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation by entering into positions in 3M Company’s securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby.  Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby.  The Agents and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates.  Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the Issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Issuer and this offering.  You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov.  Alternatively, the Issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling Citigroup Global Markets Inc. toll free at (800) 831-9146, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. toll-free at (800) 503-4611 and Goldman Sachs & Co.

3M Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, at the Interest Rate shown above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date set forth above from and after the date of this Security and at Maturity until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for.  Each payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the last date to which interest has been paid, or made available for payment, or from the Original Issue Date if none has been paid, or made available for payment, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be.  Unless this Security is a Security which has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  If this Security has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor Security or, if no interest was paid on such Predecessor Security, from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next three paragraphs.  The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original

2

Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country , except as provided in the next sentence.  If the euro is specified on the face of this Security as the Specified Currency for any payment, the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries (as defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof), provided that, if on any day there are not at least two EMU Countries, or if on any day there are at least two EMU Countries but no coin or currency is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries, then the Specified Currency for such payment shall be deemed not to be available to the Company on such day.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made in U.S. dollars if the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in U.S. dollars to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, on or before the tenth day before the payment is to be made.  Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, telecopied or delivered in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.

The U.S. dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three (or, if three are not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for U.S. dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities of this or any other series who elect to receive U.S. dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract.  If the Exchange Rate Agent determines that two such bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment.  All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on this Security will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day (including at Maturity) in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and if such Specified Currency is not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in U.S. dollars.  The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency

3

(the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made.  Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Security.

Manner of Payment - U.S. Dollars

Except as provided in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in The City of New York, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., on or before the tenth day before the day on which such payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.  If principal or another amount besides interest is due on this Security at Maturity, the Company will pay the amount to the Holder of this Security against surrender hereof at a proper place of payment or, in the case of a Global Security, as provided below in accordance with the applicable policies of the Depositary.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment - Other Specified Currencies

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is maintained in such Specified Currency at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to the

4

Company and the Trustee and as shall have been designated at least ten days prior to the applicable payment date by the Person entitled to receive such payment; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Such account designation shall be made by transmitting the appropriate information to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., by mail, hand delivery, telecopier or in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Unless revoked, any such account designation made with respect to this Security by the Holder hereof will remain in effect with respect to any further payments with respect to this Security payable to such Holder.  If a payment in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars with respect to this Security cannot be made by wire transfer because the required account designation has not been received by the Paying Agent on or before the requisite date or for any other reason, the Company will cause a notice to be given to the Holder of this Security at its registered address requesting an account designation pursuant to which such wire transfer can be made and such payment will be made within five Business Days after the Paying Agent’s receipt of such a designation meeting the requirements specified above, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment - Global Securities

Notwithstanding any provision of this security or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, the Company may make any and all payments of principal, premium and interest on this Security pursuant to the applicable policies of the Depositary for this Security as permitted in the Indenture.

Payments Due on a Business Day

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to this Security.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security on a day (the “Specified Day”) that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day and an additional interest will accrue with respect to the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.  The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to this Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 113 of the Indenture.

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 by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2000 as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

2.Series and Denominations.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $18,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series.  References herein to “this series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof.

The Company may create and issue additional Securities with the same terms as this Security, so that the additional Securities will be considered as part of the same issuance as the earlier issuance.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in “Authorized Denominations”, which term shall have the following meaning.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be the amount of such Specified Currency equivalent, at the Exchange Rate on the first Business Day next preceding the date on which the Company accepts the offer to purchase such Security, to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company.  The Exchange Rate Agent shall not have any liability therefor.

Whenever used in this Security, the terms specified above that apply to this Security have the meanings specified above, unless the context requires otherwise.  Other terms used in this Security that are not defined herein but that are defined in the Indenture referred to in Section 1 on the reverse of this Security are used herein as defined therein.

3M Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, on the Interest Payment Date(s) set forth above and at the Maturity of the principal hereof, at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3 on the reverse hereof, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.  Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the 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 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(l) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).  If interest is due at Maturity but on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid to the Person entitled to receive the principal hereof.  Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest either may 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 the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Currency of Payment

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next three paragraphs.  The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country, except as provided in the next sentence.  If the euro is specified on the face of this Security as the Specified Currency for any payment, the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private

A-4

debts in all EMU Countries (as defined in Section 3(l) on the reverse hereof), provided that, if on any day there are not at least two EMU Countries, or if on any day there are at least two EMU Countries but no coin or currency is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries, then the Specified Currency for such payment shall be deemed not to be available to the Company on such day.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made in U.S. dollars if the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in U.S. dollars to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, on or before the tenth day before the payment is to be made.  Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, telecopied or delivered in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.

The U.S. dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three (or, if three are not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for U.S. dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities of this or any other series who elect to receive U.S. dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract.  If the Exchange Rate Agent determines that two such bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment.  All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on this Security will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day (including at Maturity) in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and if such Specified Currency is not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in U.S. dollars.  The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency (the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made.  Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Security.

A-5

Manner of Payment — U.S. Dollars

Except as provided in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in The City of New York, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., on or before the tenth day before the day on which such payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.  If principal or another amount besides interest is due on this Security at Maturity, the Company will pay the amount to the Holder of this Security against surrender hereof at a proper place of payment or, in the case of a Global Security, as provided below in accordance with the applicable policies of the Depositary.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment — Other Specified Currencies

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is maintained in such Specified Currency at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Company and the Trustee and as shall have been designated at least ten days prior to the applicable payment date by the Person entitled to receive such payment; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other

A-6

office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Such account designation shall be made by transmitting the appropriate information to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., by mail, hand delivery, telecopier or in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Unless revoked, any such account designation made with respect to this Security by the Holder hereof will remain in effect with respect to any further payments with respect to this Security payable to such Holder.  If a payment in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars with respect to this Security cannot be made by wire transfer because the required account designation has not been received by the Paying Agent on or before the requisite date or for any other reason, the Company will cause a notice to be given to the Holder of this Security at its registered address requesting an account designation pursuant to which such wire transfer can be made and such payment will be made within five Business Days after the Paying Agent’s receipt of such a designation meeting the requirements specified above, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment — Global Securities

Notwithstanding any provision of this security or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, the Company may make any and all payments of principal, premium and interest on this Security pursuant to the applicable policies of the Depositary for this Security as permitted in the Indenture.

Payments Due on a Business Day

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to this Security.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security at Maturity on a day (the “Specified Day”) that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day.  The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to this Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 113 of the Indenture.

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to each Interest Payment Date other than one that falls on the date of Maturity of the principal hereof.  If any such Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if the Base Rate is LIBOR or EURIBOR and the next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, then such Interest Payment Date will be advanced to the next preceding Business Day.

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.

(Reverse of Security)

1.Securities and Indenture.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2000 as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

2.Series and Denominations.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $18,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series.  References herein to “this series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof.

The Company may create and issue additional Securities with the same terms as this Security, so that the additional Securities will be considered as part of the same issuance as the earlier issuance.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in “Authorized Denominations”, which term shall have the following meaning.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be the amount of such Specified Currency equivalent, at the Exchange Rate on the first Business Day next preceding the date on which the Company accepts the offer to purchase such Security, to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

3.Interest Rate.

a.Interest Rate Reset.  The interest rate on this Security will be reset from time to time, as provided in this Section 3, and each date upon which such rate is reset as so provided is hereinafter called an “Interest Reset Date”.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Reset Dates with respect to this Security will be as follows:

i.if the Interest Reset Period is daily, each Business Day;

ii.if the Interest Reset Period is weekly and the Base Rate is not the Treasury Rate, the Wednesday of each week;

A-10

iii.if the Interest Reset Period is weekly and the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate, except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Treasury Interest Determination Date” in Section 3(l) below, the Tuesday of each week;

iv.if the Interest Reset Period is monthly, the third Wednesday of each month;

v.if the Interest Reset Period is quarterly, the third Wednesday of each March, June, September and December;

vi.if the Interest Reset Period is semi-annual, the third Wednesday of each of two months in each year specified under “Interest Reset Period” on the face hereof; and

vii.if the Interest Reset Period is annual, the third Wednesday of the month in each year specified under “Interest Reset Period” on the face hereof;

provided, however, that (x) the Base Rate in effect from the Original Issue Date to but excluding the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Base Rate and (y) if the Interest Reset Period is daily or weekly, the Base Rate in effect for each day following the second Business Day immediately prior to an Interest Payment Date to but excluding such Interest Payment Date, and for each day following the second Business Day immediately prior to the day of Maturity of the principal hereof to but excluding such day of Maturity, will be the Base Rate in effect on such applicable second Business Day; and provided, further, that, if any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if the Base Rate is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as otherwise specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the interest rate on this Security shall be the rate determined in accordance with such of the following Sections 3(b) through 3(h) as provide for determination of the Base Rate for this Security.  The Calculation Agent shall determine the interest rate of this Security in accordance with the applicable Section below.

Unless the Base Rate is LIBOR or EURIBOR, the Calculation Agent will determine the interest rate of this Security that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date on a day no later than the Calculation Date (as defined in Section 3(l) below) corresponding to such Interest Reset Date.  However, the Calculation Agent need not wait until the Calculation Date to determine such interest rate if the rate information it needs to make such determination in the manner specified in the applicable provisions of Sections 3(b) through 3(h) hereof is available from the relevant sources specified in such applicable provisions.

Upon request of the Holder to the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect on this Security and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.

A-11

b.Determination of Commercial Paper Rate.  If the Base Rate is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the Money Market Yield (as defined in Section 3(l) below) of the rate, for the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date”), for commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15(519) (as defined in Section 3(l) below) under the heading “Commercial Paper/Nonfinancial”.  If the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Commercial Paper Rate:

i.If the rate described above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined in Section 3(l) below) corresponding to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the rate, for such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, for commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined in Section 3(l) below) or any other recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “Commercial Paper/Nonfinancial”.

ii.If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the following offered rates for U.S. dollar commercial paper that has the Index Maturity and is placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “AA”, or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency:  the rates offered as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date by three leading U.S. dollar commercial paper dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

iii.If fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (ii) above, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(b) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any.

c.Determination of Prime Rate.  If the Base Rate is the Prime Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate, for the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Prime Interest Determination Date”), published in H.15(519) under the heading “Bank prime loan”.  If the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Prime Rate:

A-12

i.If the rate described above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such Prime Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), then the Prime Rate will be the rate, for such Prime Interest Determination Date, as published in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying that rate, under the heading “Bank prime loan”.

ii.If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), then the Prime Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the following rates as they appear on the Reuters Page USPRIME1 (as defined in Section 3(l) below):  the rate of interest publicly announced by each bank appearing on that page as that bank’s prime rate or base lending rate, as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Interest Determination Date.

iii.If fewer than four of the rates referred to in clause above appear on the Reuters Page USPRIME1, the Prime Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates or base lending rates, as of the close of business on such Prime Interest Determination Date, of three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.  For this purpose, the Calculation Agent will use rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year.

iv.If fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (iii) above, the Prime Rate shall be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(c) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any.

d.Determination of LIBOR.  If the Base Rate is LIBOR, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall be LIBOR on the corresponding LIBOR Interest Determination Date (as defined in Section 3(l) below) and shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

i.LIBOR will be the offered rate appearing on the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined in Section 3(l) below) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date for deposits of the Index Currency having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date.

ii.If no rate appears on the Designated LIBOR Page, then LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, at which deposits of the following kind are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in that market

A-13

selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company:  deposits of the Index Currency having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount (as defined in Section 3(l) below).  The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each such bank to provide a quotation of its rate.  If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.

iii.If fewer than two quotations are provided as described in clause (i) above, LIBOR for such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading European banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M. in the Principal Financial Center (as defined in Section 3(l) below), on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in that financial center selected by the Calculation Agent:  loans of the Index Currency having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount.

iv.If fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (ii) above, LIBOR will be the LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines on or prior to the relevant LIBOR Interest Determination Date, after consultation with an independent financial advisor selected by the Company in its sole discretion, that LIBOR has ceased to be calculated or administered or is no longer viewed as an acceptable benchmark rate in accordance with accepted market practice for debt obligations such as this Security, then the Company will appoint in its sole discretion an independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine whether there is a substitute or successor base rate to LIBOR that is consistent with accepted market practice for debt obligations such as this Security (the “Alternative Rate”). If the IFA determines that there is an Alternative Rate, for each future LIBOR Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall use such Alternative Rate as a substitute for LIBOR in calculating the interest rate on this Security. As part of such substitution, the Calculation Agent will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, LIBOR Interest Determination Dates, Interest Reset Dates and related provisions and definitions (“Adjustments”), in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate, all as determined and directed by the IFA; provided, however, that the Calculation Agent shall not be required to implement any such Adjustments that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture, the Calculation Agency Agreement or otherwise. If the IFA determines that there is no such Alternative Rate as provided above, LIBOR will be equal to the rate of interest in effect with respect to the immediately preceding LIBOR Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the initial LIBOR Interest Determination Date, the rate of interest will be equal to the Initial Interest Rate.

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(d) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any.  If the Base Rate is LIBOR and no currency is specified on the face hereof as the Index Currency, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars.

e.Determination of EURIBOR.  If the Base Rate is EURIBOR, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the interest rate for deposits in euros designated as “EURIBOR” and sponsored jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — the Financial Market Association (or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing that rate) on the second TARGET Business Day (as defined in Section 3(l) below) before such Interest Reset Date (a “EURIBOR Interest Determination Date”), and will be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

i.EURIBOR will be the offered rate for deposits in euros having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date, as that rate appears on Reuters Page EURIBOR01 as of 11:00 A.M., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.

ii.If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear on Reuters Page EURIBOR01, EURIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, at which deposits of the following kind are offered to prime banks in the Euro-Zone (as defined in Section 3(l) below) interbank market by the principal Euro-Zone office of each of four major banks in that market selected by the Calculation Agent:  euro deposits having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount.  The Calculation Agent will request the principal Euro-Zone office of each of these banks to provide a quotation of its rate.  If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations.

iii.If fewer than two quotations are provided as described in clause (ii) above, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading Euro-Zone banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in the Euro-Zone selected by the Calculation Agent:  loans of euros having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount.

iv.If fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (iii) above, EURIBOR shall be the EURIBOR in effect on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(e) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any.

f.Determination of Treasury Rate.  If the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate for the auction on the corresponding Treasury Interest Determination Date (as defined in Section 3(l) below) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity, as that rate appears on Reuters Page USAUCTION10 or USAUCTION11 under the heading

A-15

“INVESTRATE”.  If the Treasury Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Treasury Rate:

i.If the rate described above does not appear on either Reuters Page USAUCTION10 or USAUCTION11 by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such Treasury Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined in Section 3(l) below) of the rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under a heading indicating that such rate is the “auction high” rate for United States treasury bills.

ii.If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity, as announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

iii.If the auction rate described in clause (ii) above is not so announced by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such auction is held for the relevant week, then the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity, as published in H.15(519) under the heading “U.S. government securities/Treasury bills (secondary market)”.

iv.If the rate described in clause (iii) above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), then the Treasury Rate will be the rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity, as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “U.S. government securities/Treasury bills (secondary market)”.

v.If the rate described in clause (iv) above does not appear in H.15 Daily Update, H.15(519) or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market bid rates for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity:  the rates bid as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, by three primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

vi.If fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (v) above, the Treasury Rate shall be the Treasury Rate in effect on

A-16

such Treasury Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(f) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof

g.Determination of CMT Rate.  If the Base Rate is the CMT Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the CMT Rate on the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “CMT Interest Determination Date”).  “CMT Rate” means the following rate displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page (as defined in Section 3(l) below) under the heading “ . . . Treasury Constant Maturities . .”, for the Designated CMT Index Maturity (as defined in Section 3(l) below):

(x)if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is Reuters Page FRBCMT, the rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date; or

(y)if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is Reuters Page FEDCMT, the weekly or monthly average, as specified on the face hereof, for the week that ends immediately before the week in which such CMT Interest Determination Date falls, or for the month that ends immediately before the month in which such CMT Interest Determination Date falls, as applicable.

If the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the CMT Rate:

i.If the applicable rate described above is not displayed on the relevant Designated CMT Reuters Page at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such CMT Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the CMT Rate will be the applicable Treasury constant maturity rate described above — i.e., for the Designated CMT Index Maturity and for either such CMT Interest Determination Date or the weekly or monthly average, as applicable — as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Treasury constant maturities”.

ii.If the Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page is FRBCMT and the applicable rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time, then the CMT Rate will be the Treasury constant maturity rate, or other U.S. Treasury rate, for the Designated CMT Index Maturity and with reference to such CMT Interest Determination Date, that:

(a)is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and

(b)is determined by the Calculation Agent to be comparable to the applicable rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published in H.15(519).

A-17

iii.If the Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page is FEDCMT and the applicable rate described in clause (ii) does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time, then the CMT Rate will be the Treasury constant maturity rate, or other U.S. Treasury rate, for the one-week or one-month rate, as applicable, for the Designated CMT Index Maturity and with reference to such CMT Interest Determination Date, that is otherwise announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, immediately preceding such CMT Interest Determination Date.

iv.If the Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page is FRBCMT and the rate described in the second preceding paragraph does not appear at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Interest Determination Date, unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time, then the CMT Rate will be the yield to maturity of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market offered rates for the most recently issued Treasury Notes (as defined in Section 3(l) below) having an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Index Maturity and a remaining term to maturity of not less than the Designated CMT Index Maturity minus one year, and in a Representative Amount:  the offered rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the CMT Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.  In selecting such offered rates, the Calculation Agent will request quotations from five of these primary dealers and will disregard the highest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the highest — and the lowest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the lowest.  If fewer than five but more than two such offered rates are provided, the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices provided, and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations will be eliminated.

v.If the Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page is FEDCMT and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not publish a one-week or one-month rate, as applicable, for U.S. Treasury securities on the CMT Interest Determination Date, unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time, then the CMT Rate will be the yield to maturity of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market offered rates for the most recently issued Treasury Notes having an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Index Maturity and a remaining term to maturity of not less than the Designated CMT Index Maturity minus one year, and in a Representative Amount:  the offered rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the the CMT Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.  In selecting these offered rates, the Calculation Agent will request quotations from five of these primary dealers and will disregard the highest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the highest — and the lowest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the lowest.  If fewer than five but more than two such offered rates are provided, the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices provided, and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations will be eliminated.

A-18

vi.If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three quotations of the kind described in clauses (iv) and (v) above, the CMT Rate will be the yield to maturity of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market offered rates for Treasury Notes having an original maturity longer than the Designated CMT Index Maturity, having a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Index Maturity and in a Representative Amount:  the offered rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.  In selecting such offered rates, the Calculation Agent will request quotations from five such primary dealers and will disregard the highest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the highest — and the lowest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the lowest.  If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity longer than the CMT Designated Index Maturity have remaining terms to maturity that are equally close to the Designated CMT Index Maturity, the Calculation Agent will obtain quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.

vii.If fewer than five but more than two such primary dealers are quoting as described in each of clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) above, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates so obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be disregarded.

viii.If two or fewer primary dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (vii) above, the CMT Rate shall be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(g) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any.

h.Determination of Federal Funds Rate.  If the Base Rate is the Federal Funds Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate, on the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Federal Funds Interest Determination Date”), for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) opposite the heading “Federal funds (effective)”, as that rate is displayed on Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 under the heading “Effect”. If the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Federal Funds Rate:

i.If the rate described above is not displayed on Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate described above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “Federal funds (effective)”.

ii.If the rate described in clause (i) above is not displayed on Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 and does not appear in H.15 (519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date

A-19

(unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Federal Funds Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight, U.S. dollar federal funds arranged, before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, by three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

iii.If fewer than three brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The interest rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(h) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any.

i.Minimum and Maximum Limits.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rate at which interest accrues on this Security (i) shall not at any time be higher than the Maximum Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof, in each case on an accrual basis, and (ii) shall not at any time be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

j.Calculation of Interest.  Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date or at the Maturity of the principal hereof will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the date of such Maturity, as the case may be.  Accrued interest from the date of issue or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent by multiplying the Principal Amount by an accrued interest factor.  Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being calculated.  The interest factor for each such day shall be expressed as a decimal and computed by dividing the interest rate (also expressed as a decimal) in effect on such day by 360, if the Base Rate is the Commercial Paper Rate, Prime Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR or Federal Funds Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or CMT Rate.

All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the next higher or lower one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (e.g., 9.876541% (or .09876541) being rounded down to 9.87654% (or .0987654) and 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded up to 9.87655% (or .0987655)).  All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent, in the case of U.S. dollars, or to the nearest corresponding hundredth of a unit, in the case of a currency other than U.S. dollars, with one-half cent or one-half of a corresponding hundredth of a unit or more being rounded upward.

k.Calculation Agent and Exchange Rate Agent.  The Company has initially appointed the institutions named on the face of this Security as Calculation Agent and Exchange

A-20

Rate Agent, respectively, to act as such agents with respect to this Security, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time.  The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment.  Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, Affiliates of any such agent or Affiliates of the Company.

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent or the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company.  Neither the Calculation Agent nor the Exchange Rate Agent shall have any liability therefor.

Terms left blank or marked “N/A”, “No”, “None” or in a similar manner do not apply to this Security except as otherwise may be specified.

Whenever used in this Security, the terms specified above that apply to this Security have the meanings specified above, unless the context requires otherwise.  Other terms used in this Security that are not defined herein but that are defined in the Indenture referred to in Section 1 on the reverse of this Security are used herein as defined therein.

3M Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, at the Interest Rate shown above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date set forth above from and after the date of this Security and at Maturity until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for.  Each payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the last date to which interest has been paid, or made available for payment, or from the Original Issue Date if none has been paid, or made available for payment, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be.  Unless this Security is a Security which has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  If this Security has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor Security or, if no interest was paid on such Predecessor Security, from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the 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 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).  If interest is due at Maturity but on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid to the Person entitled to receive the principal hereof.  Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest either may 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 the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Currency of Payment

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next three paragraphs.  The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original

2

Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country , except as provided in the next sentence.  If the euro is specified on the face of this Security as the Specified Currency for any payment, the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries (as defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof), provided that, if on any day there are not at least two EMU Countries, or if on any day there are at least two EMU Countries but no coin or currency is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries, then the Specified Currency for such payment shall be deemed not to be available to the Company on such day.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made in U.S. dollars if the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in U.S. dollars to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, on or before the tenth day before the payment is to be made.  Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, telecopied or delivered in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.

The U.S. dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three (or, if three are not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for U.S. dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities of this or any other series who elect to receive U.S. dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract.  If the Exchange Rate Agent determines that two such bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment.  All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on this Security will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day (including at Maturity) in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and if such Specified Currency is not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in U.S. dollars.  The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency

3

(the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made.  Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Security.

Manner of Payment - U.S. Dollars

Except as provided in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in The City of New York, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., on or before the tenth day before the day on which such payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.  If principal or another amount besides interest is due on this Security at Maturity, the Company will pay the amount to the Holder of this Security against surrender hereof at a proper place of payment or, in the case of a Global Security, as provided below in accordance with the applicable policies of the Depositary.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment - Other Specified Currencies

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is maintained in such Specified Currency at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to the

4

Company and the Trustee and as shall have been designated at least ten days prior to the applicable payment date by the Person entitled to receive such payment; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Such account designation shall be made by transmitting the appropriate information to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., by mail, hand delivery, telecopier or in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Unless revoked, any such account designation made with respect to this Security by the Holder hereof will remain in effect with respect to any further payments with respect to this Security payable to such Holder.  If a payment in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars with respect to this Security cannot be made by wire transfer because the required account designation has not been received by the Paying Agent on or before the requisite date or for any other reason, the Company will cause a notice to be given to the Holder of this Security at its registered address requesting an account designation pursuant to which such wire transfer can be made and such payment will be made within five Business Days after the Paying Agent’s receipt of such a designation meeting the requirements specified above, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment - Global Securities

Notwithstanding any provision of this security or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, the Company may make any and all payments of principal, premium and interest on this Security pursuant to the applicable policies of the Depositary for this Security as permitted in the Indenture.

Payments Due on a Business Day

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to this Security.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security on a day (the “Specified Day”) that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day and an additional interest will accrue with respect to the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.  The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to this Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 113 of the Indenture.

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.

5

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

1.Securities and Indenture.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2000 as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

2.Series and Denominations.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $18,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series.  References herein to “this series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof.

The Company may create and issue additional Securities with the same terms as this Security, so that the additional Securities will be considered as part of the same issuance as the earlier issuance.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in “Authorized Denominations”, which term shall have the following meaning.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be the amount of such Specified Currency equivalent, at the Exchange Rate on the first Business Day next preceding the date on which the Company accepts the offer to purchase such Security, to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

3.Interest Rate.

8

dollars, or to the nearest corresponding hundredth of a unit, in the case of a currency other than U.S. dollars, with one-half cent or one-half of a corresponding hundredth of a unit or more being rounded upward.

(b)Exchange Rate Agent.  The Company has initially appointed the institution named on the face of this Security as Exchange Rate Agent, to act as such agent with respect to this Security, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as such agent from time to time.  The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment.  Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, Affiliates of any such agent or Affiliates of the Company.

All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company.  The Exchange Rate Agent shall not have any liability therefor.

(c)Definitions of Terms.  As used in this Security, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

4.Redemption at the Company’s Option.

Unless a Redemption Commencement Date is specified on the face hereof or as otherwise specified in this Security (including in the Addendum attached hereto), this Security shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company before the Stated Maturity Date.  If a Redemption Commencement Date is so specified, and unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, this Security is subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice at any time and from time to time on or after the Redemption Commencement Date, in each case as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company and at the applicable Redemption Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed), together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest installments due on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date, all as provided in the Indenture.

ADDENDUM

Optional Make-Whole Redemption and Redemption at Par Prior to Maturity

Prior to January 14, 2024 (one month prior to the maturity date of this Security), this Security will be redeemable at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, at our option at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of

·100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, and

·as determined by the quotation agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on this Security to be redeemed (not including any interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the treasury rate (defined below) plus 7.5 basis points

plus, in the case of both clauses above, accrued and unpaid interest on this Security to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after January 14, 2024 (one month prior to the maturity date of this Security), the Security will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Security plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

“Treasury rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the annual rate equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price of the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for that Redemption Date.

“Comparable treasury issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the quotation agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Security to be redeemed, as if this Security to be redeemed matured on January 14, 2024, that would be utilized, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Security.

“Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of at least three reference treasury dealer quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five or more reference treasury dealer quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five reference dealer quotations, the average of all reference treasury dealer quotations so obtained.

“Quotation agent” means the reference treasury dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference treasury dealer” means (i) each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors; however, if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City

18

(a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute another primary treasury dealer; and (ii) any other primary treasury dealer(s) selected by the Company.

“Reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by the reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of this Security for redemption will be made pro rata, if commercially practicable in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary, and if not, then by lot or such other method as required in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary. This Security will be redeemed in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of this Security to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Securities are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Security will state the portion of the Security to be redeemed. New Securities in principal amounts of at least $2,000 equal to the unredeemed portion of this Security will be issued in the name of the Holder of this Security upon surrender for cancellation of the original Security. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on this Security or the portions of this Security called for redemption.

3M Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, at the Interest Rate shown above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date set forth above from and after the date of this Security and at Maturity until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for.  Each payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the last date to which interest has been paid, or made available for payment, or from the Original Issue Date if none has been paid, or made available for payment, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be.  Unless this Security is a Security which has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  If this Security has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor Security or, if no interest was paid on such Predecessor Security, from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the 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 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).  If interest is due at Maturity but on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid to the Person entitled to receive the principal hereof.  Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest either may 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 the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Currency of Payment

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next three paragraphs.  The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original

2

Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country , except as provided in the next sentence.  If the euro is specified on the face of this Security as the Specified Currency for any payment, the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries (as defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof), provided that, if on any day there are not at least two EMU Countries, or if on any day there are at least two EMU Countries but no coin or currency is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries, then the Specified Currency for such payment shall be deemed not to be available to the Company on such day.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made in U.S. dollars if the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in U.S. dollars to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, on or before the tenth day before the payment is to be made.  Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, telecopied or delivered in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.

The U.S. dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three (or, if three are not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for U.S. dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities of this or any other series who elect to receive U.S. dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract.  If the Exchange Rate Agent determines that two such bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment.  All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on this Security will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day (including at Maturity) in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and if such Specified Currency is not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in U.S. dollars.  The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency

3

(the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made.  Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Security.

Manner of Payment - U.S. Dollars

Except as provided in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in The City of New York, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., on or before the tenth day before the day on which such payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.  If principal or another amount besides interest is due on this Security at Maturity, the Company will pay the amount to the Holder of this Security against surrender hereof at a proper place of payment or, in the case of a Global Security, as provided below in accordance with the applicable policies of the Depositary.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment - Other Specified Currencies

4

Company and the Trustee and as shall have been designated at least ten days prior to the applicable payment date by the Person entitled to receive such payment; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Such account designation shall be made by transmitting the appropriate information to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., by mail, hand delivery, telecopier or in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Unless revoked, any such account designation made with respect to this Security by the Holder hereof will remain in effect with respect to any further payments with respect to this Security payable to such Holder.  If a payment in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars with respect to this Security cannot be made by wire transfer because the required account designation has not been received by the Paying Agent on or before the requisite date or for any other reason, the Company will cause a notice to be given to the Holder of this Security at its registered address requesting an account designation pursuant to which such wire transfer can be made and such payment will be made within five Business Days after the Paying Agent’s receipt of such a designation meeting the requirements specified above, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Manner of Payment - Global Securities

Notwithstanding any provision of this security or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, the Company may make any and all payments of principal, premium and interest on this Security pursuant to the applicable policies of the Depositary for this Security as permitted in the Indenture.

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 by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in “Authorized Denominations”, which term shall have the following meaning.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be the amount of such Specified Currency equivalent, at the Exchange Rate on the first Business Day next preceding the date on which the Company accepts the offer to purchase such Security, to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

3.Interest Rate.

(a)Calculation of Interest.  Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date or at the Maturity of the principal hereof will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the date of such Maturity, as the case may be.

All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the next higher or lower one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (e.g., 9.876541% (or .09876541) being rounded down to 9.87654% (or .0987654) and 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded up to 9.87655% (or .0987655) ).  All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent, in the case of U.S.

8

dollars, or to the nearest corresponding hundredth of a unit, in the case of a currency other than U.S. dollars, with one-half cent or one-half of a corresponding hundredth of a unit or more being rounded upward.

(b)Exchange Rate Agent.  The Company has initially appointed the institution named on the face of this Security as Exchange Rate Agent, to act as such agent with respect to this Security, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as such agent from time to time.  The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment.  Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, Affiliates of any such agent or Affiliates of the Company.

All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company.  The Exchange Rate Agent shall not have any liability therefor.

ADDENDUM

Optional Make-Whole Redemption and Redemption at Par Prior to Maturity

Prior to June 14, 2028 (three months prior to the maturity date of this Security), this Security will be redeemable at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, at our option at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of

·100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, and

·as determined by the quotation agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on this Security to be redeemed (not including any interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the treasury rate (defined below) plus 10 basis points

plus, in the case of both clauses above, accrued and unpaid interest on this Security to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after June 14, 2028 (three months prior to the maturity date of this Security), the Security will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Security plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

“Treasury rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the annual rate equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price of the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for that Redemption Date.

“Comparable treasury issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the quotation agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Security to be redeemed, as if this Security to be redeemed matured on June 14, 2028, that would be utilized, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Security.

“Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of at least three reference treasury dealer quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five or more reference treasury dealer quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five reference dealer quotations, the average of all reference treasury dealer quotations so obtained.

“Quotation agent” means the reference treasury dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference treasury dealer” means (i) each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors; however, if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City

18

“Reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by the reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of this Security for redemption will be made pro rata, if commercially practicable in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary, and if not, then by lot or such other method as required in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary.

Whenever used in this Security, the terms specified above that apply to this Security have the meanings specified above, unless the context requires otherwise.  Other terms used in this Security that are not defined herein but that are defined in the Indenture referred to in Section 1 on the reverse of this Security are used herein as defined therein.

3M Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, at the Interest Rate shown above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date set forth above from and after the date of this Security and at Maturity until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for.  Each payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the last date to which interest has been paid, or made available for payment, or from the Original Issue Date if none has been paid, or made available for payment, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be.  Unless this Security is a Security which has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  If this Security has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor Security or, if no interest was paid on such Predecessor Security, from the Original Issue Date indicated above.  Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the 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 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”).  If interest is due at Maturity but on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid to the Person entitled to receive the principal hereof.  Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest either may 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 the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Currency of Payment

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next three paragraphs.  The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original

2

Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country , except as provided in the next sentence.  If the euro is specified on the face of this Security as the Specified Currency for any payment, the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries (as defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof), provided that, if on any day there are not at least two EMU Countries, or if on any day there are at least two EMU Countries but no coin or currency is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries, then the Specified Currency for such payment shall be deemed not to be available to the Company on such day.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made in U.S. dollars if the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in U.S. dollars to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, on or before the tenth day before the payment is to be made.  Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, telecopied or delivered in any other manner approved by the Trustee.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.

The U.S. dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three (or, if three are not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for U.S. dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities of this or any other series who elect to receive U.S. dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract.  If the Exchange Rate Agent determines that two such bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment.  All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on this Security will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day (including at Maturity) in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and if such Specified Currency is not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in U.S. dollars.  The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency

3

(the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made.  Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Security.

Manner of Payment - U.S. Dollars

Except as provided in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in The City of New York, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., on or before the tenth day before the day on which such payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.  In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.  If principal or another amount besides interest is due on this Security at Maturity, the Company will pay the amount to the Holder of this Security against surrender hereof at a proper place of payment or, in the case of a Global Security, as provided below in accordance with the applicable policies of the Depositary.  The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

1.Securities and Indenture.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2000 as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

2.Series and Denominations.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $18,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series.  References herein to “this series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof.

The Company may create and issue additional Securities with the same terms as this Security, so that the additional Securities will be considered as part of the same issuance as the earlier issuance.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in “Authorized Denominations”, which term shall have the following meaning.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Unless otherwise specified, for each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be the amount of such Specified Currency equivalent, at the Exchange Rate on the first Business Day next preceding the date on which the Company accepts the offer to purchase such Security, to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

3.Interest Rate.

dollars, or to the nearest corresponding hundredth of a unit, in the case of a currency other than U.S. dollars, with one-half cent or one-half of a corresponding hundredth of a unit or more being rounded upward.

(b)Exchange Rate Agent.  The Company has initially appointed the institution named on the face of this Security as Exchange Rate Agent, to act as such agent with respect to this Security, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as such agent from time to time.  The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment.  Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, Affiliates of any such agent or Affiliates of the Company.

All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company.  The Exchange Rate Agent shall not have any liability therefor.

ADDENDUM

Optional Make-Whole Redemption and Redemption at Par Prior to Maturity

Prior to March 14, 2048 (six months prior to the maturity date of this Security), this Security will be redeemable at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, at our option at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of

·100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, and

·as determined by the quotation agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on this Security to be redeemed (not including any interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the treasury rate (defined below) plus 15 basis points

plus, in the case of both clauses above, accrued and unpaid interest on this Security to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after March 14, 2048 (six months prior to the maturity date of this Security), the Security will be redeemable, in whole but not in part at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Security plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

“Treasury rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the annual rate equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price of the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for that Redemption Date.

“Comparable treasury issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the quotation agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Security to be redeemed, as if this Security to be redeemed matured on March 14, 2048, that would be utilized, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Security.

“Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of at least three reference treasury dealer quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five or more reference treasury dealer quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five reference dealer quotations, the average of all reference treasury dealer quotations so obtained.

“Quotation agent” means the reference treasury dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference treasury dealer” means (i) each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors; however, if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City

18

(a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute another primary treasury dealer; and (ii) any other primary treasury dealer(s) selected by the Company.

“Reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by the reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of this Security for redemption will be made pro rata, if commercially practicable in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary, and if not, then by lot or such other method as required in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the relevant depositary. This Security will be redeemed in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of this Security to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Securities are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Security will state the portion of the Security to be redeemed. New Securities in principal amounts of at least $2,000 equal to the unredeemed portion of this Security will be issued in the name of the Holder of this Security upon surrender for cancellation of the original Security.
