QUALCOMM INCORPORATED, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the

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
                     , 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] [quarterly] in arrears on [                    ,
                    ,]                     
and                      of each year, commencing on             ,
        , on said principal sum at said office or agency, in like coin or currency, at [a rate of      % per annum] [the floating rate of interest described on the Reverse of this
Security]. Interest on the notes will accrue from the most recent date from which interest has been paid, or if no interest has been paid, from
                     until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for. The interest so payable on
[                    ,                     ,]
                     and                     
will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the
[                    ,                     ,]
                     and                     ,
preceding such [                    ,
                    ,]                      and
                    , 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 Note 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 Notes not less than thirty days preceding such special record date or may be paid in any other lawful manner. [Include for fixed rate notes — Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months.]

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.
