April 30, 2021, at the rate of 1.680% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest and Additional Interest, if any, is enforceable under
applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the same rate per annum.

 (FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBT SECURITY) 

This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company, all issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of December 1, 2000, duly executed and delivered by the Company (as successor in interest to Verizon Global Funding Corp.) and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to Wachovia Bank, National Association, formerly
known as First Union National Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series which may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other
respects as in the Indenture provided. This Debt Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (the “Debt Securities”) unlimited in aggregate principal amount. 

Beneficial interests in this global Debt Security may be held in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. This
global Debt Security shall be exchangeable for Debt Securities in definitive form registered in the names of persons other than the Depository or its nominee only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as the Depository or if at any time such Depository is no longer registered as a clearing agency or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute and a successor depository is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate that this global Debt Security shall be so exchangeable. To the extent that this global Debt Security is exchangeable
pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for Debt Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. Debt Securities represented by this global Debt Security that may be exchanged for Debt Securities in
definitive form under the circumstances described in this paragraph will be exchangeable only for Debt Securities in definitive form issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, this global Debt Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository. 

In case an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debt Securities 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 Indenture. 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of each series affected at the time outstanding, as defined in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any
Securities of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent
of the holder of each Debt Security so affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Debt
Security then outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the holders of Securities
of such series, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Debt Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether
or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debt Security. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on this Debt Security at the times and place and at the rate
and in the money herein prescribed. 
 The Debt Securities are issuable as registered Debt Securities without coupons. 

The Debt Securities shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Debt Securities may be exchanged, upon
presentation thereof for that purpose, at the office or agency of the Company in the City of New York, State of New York, for other Debt Securities of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount and series, and upon payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto. 












 The Debt Securities may be redeemed on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice given as
provided in the Indenture, in whole or from time to time in part, at the option of the Company, (i) at any time prior to July 30, 2030 (three months prior to maturity) at a redemption price equal to the greater of (x) 100% of the principal
amount of the Debt Securities being redeemed, or (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Debt Securities being redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued and Additional Interest, if
any, to the date of redemption), assuming for such purpose that such Debt Securities matured on July 30, 2030, discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, and (ii) at any time on or after July 30, 2030 (three months prior to maturity), at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Debt Securities being redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Debt Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Statistical Release H.15” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury constant maturities,” for
the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the
calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable
to the remaining term (the “Remaining Life”) of the Debt Securities to be 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 such Debt Securities. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of three Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker is unable to obtain three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations obtained. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means an independent investment banking or commercial banking institution of national standing appointed by the
Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) any independent investment banking or commercial banking institution of national standing
appointed by the Company and any of such institution’s successors, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the
Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker and approved in writing 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 Independent Investment Banker, 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 Independent Investment Banker at 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. In the event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt Security of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Debt
Security shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Debt Security is transferable by the registered holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Debt Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
the City of New York, State of New York, accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Debt Securities of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such
transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto. 












 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debt Security, the Company, the Trustee, any
Paying Agent and any Security Registrar for the Debt Securities may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing
hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar for the Debt Securities) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and (subject to Section 310 of the Indenture) interest and Additional Interest, if
any, due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar for the Debt Securities shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, this Debt Security, or for any claim based
hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or 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 issuance hereof, expressly waived and
released. 
 The Depository by acceptance of this global Debt Security agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any beneficial
interest in this global Debt Security unless such beneficial interest is in an amount equal to an authorized denomination for Debt Securities of this series. 

Holders of the Debt Securities issued on the date hereof will have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 6,
2020, among the Company and the other parties named in Schedule A thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Company will furnish to any holder of Debt Securities upon request and without charge a copy of the Registration Rights
Agreement. 
 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.
