 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

Capital One Financial Corporation 

Floating Rate Senior Notes Due 2020 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the Company, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be
issued under a Senior Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1996 (the “Senior Indenture”), and duly executed and delivered by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as successor to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee (hereinafter, the “Trustee”). Reference to the Senior Indenture and the Officers’ Certificate thereunder establishing the terms of this Security is hereby made
for a description of the respective rights and duties thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities. This Security is one of a series designated as the “Floating
Rate Senior Note, Due 2020” of the Company (hereinafter called the “Notes”), issued under the Senior Indenture. Each Holder by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all terms and provisions of the Senior Indenture, as amended from
time to time, applicable to the Notes. 
 Neither the Senior Indenture nor the Notes limit or otherwise restrict the amount of indebtedness
which may be incurred or other securities which may be issued by the Company. The Notes issued under the Senior Indenture are direct, unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on May 12, 2020. The Notes rank on parity with all other
unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. 
 The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at
an interest rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from May 12, 2017 (the “Issue Date”) to but excluding August 12, 2017 (such period, the “Initial Interest Period”) at an initial rate (the “Initial
Interest Rate”) determined by the Calculation Agent equal to Three-Month LIBOR on the second London Banking Day preceding the Issue Date plus 0.76% per annum, and thereafter at an Interest Rate that will he reset as described below to a rate
per annum equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus 0.76% per annum. 
 The Company will pay interest quarterly in arrears on February 12,
May 12, August 12, and November 12 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on August 12, 2017. Interest on this Security will accrue from the Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date,
as the case may be, to which interest on the Notes has been paid or duly provided for, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for The Company will pay interest to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at
the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, except that the Company will pay the interest payable at the Stated Maturity of this Security to the Person
or Persons to whom principal is payable. The Company will pay interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. The Company will make
payments in respect of Notes in global form (including principal and interest) to the Holder thereof or a nominee of the Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds as of the close of business on the date such payments are due. 







 The Interest Rate on the Notes will be reset quarterly (each such quarter, an “Interest
Reset Period”. The first day of each Interest Reset Period is referred to as an “Interest Reset Date”. The Interest Reset Dates will be February 12, May 12, August 12, and November 12 of each year; provided
that the Interest Rate in effect from May 12, 2017 to, but excluding, the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be
postponed to the next day that is a Business Day. 
 The Calculation Agent for the Notes is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
(the “Calculation Agent”). Upon the request of the Holder of any Note, the Calculation Agent will provide such Holder the Interest Rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest Rate that will become effective on the next Interest
Reset Date. 
 The Calculation Agent will determine the Initial Interest Rate for the Notes on the second London Banking Day preceding the
issue date and the Interest Rate for each succeeding Interest Reset Period by reference to Three-Month LIBOR on the second London Banking Day preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date (each, an “Interest Determination Date). 

“London Banking Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 

The Interest Rate for the Notes will be based on the London interbank offered rate (“Three-Month LIBOR”) determined by the
Calculation Agent as follows: 
 (i)    As of an Interest Determination Date, Three-Month LIBOR will be equal to the
offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest Determination
Date, If on any Interest Determination Date, such rate does not appear on the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, or if the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” is not available on such date, the Calculation Agent will obtain
such rate from Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM.” 
 (ii)    no rate appears on “Reuters Page
LIBOR01” or Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM”, then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent after
consultation with the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations arc provided, Three-Month
LIBOR determined on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR will be determined for the related Interest Reset Date as the arithmetic mean of the
rate glinted at 







 
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York time, on that Interest Reset Date, by three major banks in New York, New York, as selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company, for
loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time If the
banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, Three-Month LIBOR for that Interest Determination Date will remain equal to the Three-Month LIBOR used to determine the Interest Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no preceding Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate. 

Accrued interest on this Security will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of this Security by an accrued interest factor (the
“Accrued Interest Factor”). The Accrued Interest Factor will be computed by adding the Interest Factors calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor (“Interest Factor”) for each day
will be computed by dividing the Interest Rate applicable to that day by 360. The Interest Rite in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The Interest Rate applicable to any other day is the Interest
Rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date, or if none, the Initial Interest Rate. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Security will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with .000005% rounded up to .00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from these calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent
rounded upward). 
 Interest on the Notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed. If any date on which interest is payable on the Notes (other than the maturity date) is not a Business Day, the payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next day that is a Business Day, unless that day
falls in the next calendar month, in which case the payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the preceding day that is a Business Day, and interest will accrue to but excluding the date interest is paid. 

If the Company defaults in the payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date after taking into account any applicable grace period,
such defaulted interest shall be paid as set forth in the Senior Indenture. 
 The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund. 

The Notes are subject to defeasance pursuant to Section 402 of the Senior Indenture. 

The Notes are not convertible into common stock of the Company. 

At any time after April 12, 2020 (the “Redemption Date”), the Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, upon not
less than 15 nor more than 45 days’ prior notice given to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to the
Redemption Date. 







 If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes (or portions
thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such
portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding. If the Redemption Date is not a business day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other payment due to the
delay. 
 If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Depository will select the Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot
or by such other method in accordance with the procedures of the Depository. No Notes of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. 
 In case
an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become. due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided
in the Senior Indenture. The Senior Indenture provides that in certain circumstances such declaration and its consequences may be waived by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding. However,
any such consent or waiver by the Holder shall not affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 The Senior
Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes for certain situations and with the consent of not less than two-thirds of the Holders in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes of each series affected by such supplemental indenture in other situations, to execute supplemental indentures adding to, modifying, or changing various provisions of, the Senior Indenture; provided that no
such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby, shall (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or any installment of interest on the Notes; (ii) reduce the principal
amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or adversely affect the right of repayment of any Holder; (iii) change the Place of Payment or Currency in which the principal of or interest on the Notes is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof; (iv) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or
the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Senior Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Senior Indenture, or reduce the requirements of
Section 1504 for quorum or voting; or (v) modify any of the provisions of Sections 902, 513 or 1008 of the Senior Indenture, except to increase any such percentage or provide that certain other provisions of the Senior Indenture cannot be
modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby. 
 The Company may omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 1005, 1006 or 1007 of the Senior Indenture, if before the time it would have to comply, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes, by act of such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition
except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 







 No reference herein to the Senior Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Senior
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of or interest on this Security at the respective times and at the rate herein prescribed. 

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may
exchange the Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Senior Indenture. 

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of the Notes at the office or agency for said purpose of the Company, a new Note or Notes of
authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee as provided in the Senior Indenture. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. 
 Prior to due presentation of this Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee, may deem and treat the Holder hereof as the owner of this Security (whether or not any payment with respect to this Security shall be overdue), for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to the provisions of the Senior Indenture) interest hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to this Security shall be overdue, and neither the
Company, nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be
had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Security, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, or because of the creation of
any indebtedness represented thereby, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation,
whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived
and released. 
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

All terms used in this Security (and not otherwise defined in this Security) that are defined in the Senior Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.
