 QUALCOMM INCORPORATED, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                     or registered assigns, the principal sum as set forth in the attached Schedule of Increases and Decreases, at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, or any other office or agency designated by the Company for that purpose, on May 20, 2024, in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of
payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay interest semi-annually 







 
in arrears on May 20 and November 20 of each year, and on the maturity date, commencing on November 20, 2017, on said principal sum at said office or agency, in like coin or
currency, at a rate of 2.900% per annum. Interest on this Security will accrue from the most recent date from which interest has been paid, or if no interest has been paid, from May 26, 2017 until payment of said principal sum has been made or
duly provided for. The interest so payable on May 20 and November 20 will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the person in whose name this Security is registered at
the close of business on the May 1 or November 1, preceding such May 20 and November 20, respectively, unless the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted
interest, at the option of the Company, may be paid to the person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest established by notice to the registered holders
of this Security not less than 30 days preceding such special record date or may be paid in any other lawful manner. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months. 
 If any interest payment date, the maturity date or any earlier required
repurchase date upon a designated event falls on a day that is not a business day, the required payment will be made on the next succeeding business day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The term
‘‘business day’’ means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close. 

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof. Such further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed

 This security (herein called the
“Security”) is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company , issued and to be issued in one or more series, pursuant to the Indenture dated as of May 20, 2015 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S.
Bank National Association, 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 and of the terms upon which this Security is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof as
“2.900% Notes due 2024,” issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000. This Security will be issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. All terms used in this
Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

contained in the Indenture and certain additional covenants contained in the Officers’ Certificate dated May 26, 2017.

4. Optional Redemption. 
 (a) At the
Company’s option, this Security may be redeemed in whole or in part on or after March 20, 2024 (2 months prior to the maturity date) at 100% of the principal amount of this Security, plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon to but excluding
the redemption date. 
 (b) At the Company’s option, this Security may be redeemed at any time in whole or in part prior to
March 20, 2024 (2 months prior to the maturity date), in which case, the Company will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts: (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of this Security and (2) the sum of the
present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would have been payable in respect of such Securities (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption, discounted to the
redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)) at the Adjusted Treasury
Rate plus 15 basis points plus in the case of each of (1) and (2), accrued and unpaid interest to the, but excluding, redemption date. Neither the Trustee nor the paying agent shall have any responsibility for calculating the redemption
price. 
 “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury
Price for such redemption date. 







 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to this Security, the U.S. Treasury
security or securities selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Security being redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of 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, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations or (2) if we obtain fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations for such
redemption date. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by us. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors, unless any such entity ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a Primary Treasury Dealer), in which case we shall substitute another
Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by us. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations”
means, with respect to any Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding that redemption date. 

5. Selection and Notice of Redemption. 
 (a) If
less than all of the principal amount of this Security is to be redeemed, the depositary in coordination with the paying agent may select Securities for redemption pursuant to its applicable procedures. The depositary, in connection with the paying
agent shall select Securities and portions of Securities in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of outstanding securities of any series and affected by such
modification or amendment (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such securities). 
 8. No
Impairment of Obligation to Pay or Right to Convert. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed
or to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture. 
 9. Transfer and Exchange. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Security shall be transferable only upon the surrender
of a Security for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar will register the transfer as requested if the requirements of the Indenture are satisfied. When this
Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the requirements of the Indenture are met. To permit
registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate securities at the Registrar’s request. 
 10. No
Service Charge. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment by

in the case of bad faith or willful misconduct) for any obligations of the Company under this Security or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting this
Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Security.
