safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words and phrases as &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;outlook,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;guidance,&#148;
&#147;projections,&#148; &#147;strategy,&#148; &#147;mission,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;can,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;design,&#148; &#147;look forward,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;possible,&#148;

beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future,
they are subject to known and unknown uncertainties, risks, changes in circumstances, and other factors that are difficult to predict, many of which are outside our control. Our actual performance and outcomes, including without limitation, our
actual results and financial condition, may differ materially from those indicated in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our
actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

employees increasingly become mobile, work remotely, and expect a user experience similar to consumer-oriented applications. We specialize in helping small- to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">medium-sized</FONT> businesses who do not have the
resources or expertise to adapt to the constantly evolving environment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Paychex offers a full range of integrated HCM solutions from hire

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have summarized below general terms and conditions of the debt securities that we will offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus. When we
offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms and conditions of the series in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus. We will also indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement whether the general
terms and conditions described in this prospectus apply to the series of debt securities. The terms and conditions of the debt securities of a series may be different in one or more respects from the terms and conditions described below. If so,
those differences will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue the debt securities in one or more series
under an indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the &#147;indenture&#148;). The indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &#147;Trust Indenture Act&#148;).
The following description of provisions of the indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture (including provisions made a part of the indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act), a form of which has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. A form of each debt security, any future supplemental indenture or similar document
will also be filed. You should read the indenture and any supplemental indenture or similar document because they, and not this description, define your rights as holder of our debt securities. All capitalized terms have the meanings specified in
the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of this section of this prospectus, references to &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us&#148; and &#147;our&#148; are to
Paychex, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue, from time to time, debt securities, in one or more series. Payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the
debt securities will rank on a parity with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture does not limit the amount of
debt securities that we may issue. We may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of any series, issue additional debt securities ranking equally with, and otherwise similar in all respects to, the debt securities of the series
(except for any differences in the issue price and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and interest payment date) so that those additional debt securities will be consolidated and form a single series with the debt securities of the
series previously offered and sold; <I>provided that if the additional debt securities are not fungible with the debt securities of the series previously offered or sold for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional debt securities will have
one or more separate CUSIP or other identifying numbers. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal
amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit designated by us. Except for the limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture
do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to afford holders of any debt securities protection with respect to our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us and will not contain any such additional covenants or
other provisions unless set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue the
debt securities issued under the indenture as &#147;discount securities,&#148; which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount,
may, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as if they were issued with &#147;original issue discount,&#148; because of interest payment and other characteristics. Special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt
securities issued with original issue discount will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

If there are different trustees for different series of debt securities, each trustee will be a trustee of a trust under the indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee under the indenture. Except as otherwise
indicated in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement, any action permitted to be taken by a trustee may be taken by such trustee only with respect to the one or more series of debt securities for which it is the trustee under the
indenture. Any trustee under the indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities. All payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and all registration, transfer, exchange, authentication
and delivery (including authentication and delivery on original issuance of the debt securities) of, the debt securities of a series will be effected by the trustee with respect to such series at an office designated by the trustee. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture contains limitations on the right of the trustee, should it become a creditor of us, to obtain payment of claims in some cases
or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee may engage in other transactions. If it acquires any conflicting interest relating to any duties with respect to the debt securities,
however, it must eliminate the conflict or resign as trustee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of
debt securities then outstanding, voting together as a single class, or, in the case of an Event of Default regarding payment of principal, any premium or interest, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each affected series of
debt securities then outstanding voting as a separate class, will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee with respect to such series of debt securities,
<I>provided</I> that the direction would not conflict with any rule of law or with the indenture, would not be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another holder of the debt securities, and would not involve any trustee in personal liability. The
indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur and the trustee has received written notice thereof and such Event of Default has not be cured, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would use under the
circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs in the exercise of the trustee&#146;s power. Subject to these provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any of
the holders of the debt securities, unless they shall have offered to the trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee. </P>

director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of the director&#146;s &#147;duty of care.&#148; While this statute does not change the directors&#146;
duty of care, it enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. The statute has no effect on a director&#146;s duty of loyalty or liability for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, illegal payment of dividends or stock redemptions or repurchases, or for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the statute, the Company has
adopted provisions in its restated certificate of incorporation which eliminate to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law the personal liability of its directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or
alleged breach of their duty of care. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware allows for the
indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents of a corporation. The bylaws of the Company, as amended, provide for indemnification to the fullest extent authorized by Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware for
directors and officers of the Company and also to persons who are serving at the request of the Company as directors or officers of other corporations (including subsidiaries). The Company&#146;s bylaws also permit the Company to enter into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom it is required or permitted to indemnify. The Company has entered into agreements with its directors and its executive officers that
require the Company to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in
connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or an executive officer of the Company or any of its affiliated enterprises. The
indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. The Company intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the
future. </P>
