 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED 

2.900% Notes due 2027 
 1.
Interest. 
 Texas Instruments Incorporated (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at
the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from November 3, 2017. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding
the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing May 3, 2018 to the person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on the preceding
Interest Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA
Uniform Practice Code. 
 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and
on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful. 
 2. Paying Agent. 

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Issuer may change any paying agent
without notice to the holders (the “Holders”). 
 3. Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 2.900% Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) issued under an indenture dated as of May 23, 2011 (the
“Base Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, and established pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate dated November 3, 2017, issued pursuant to Section 2.01 and Section 2.03 thereof (together, the
“Indenture”). This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 
 For
purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA; including, without limitation, the defeasance provision set forth in
Section 10.01(b) of the Base Indenture; provided that Section 10.01(b)(C) of the Base Indenture is amended and restated as set forth below for purposes of this Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to
all such terms, provided that Section 10.01(b)(C) of the Base Indenture is 

  
 A-5 








 
amended and restated as set forth below for purposes of this Note, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent the terms of the
Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern, provided that, for purposes of this Note, Section 10.01(b)(C) of the Base Indenture is amended and restated as set forth below. 

“(C) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an opinion of independent legal counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or that since the date of issuance of the Securities of such series there has been a change in the
applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that beneficial owners of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and
will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and” 

4. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall
register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental
charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice
of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part. 
 5.
Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 
 Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be
amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of Outstanding
Securities (including the Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting together as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture
and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note in any material respect. 
 6. Redemption. 

(a) Prior to August 3, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Issuer may at its option redeem
the Notes, in whole or in part at any 

  
 A-6 








 
time, or from time to time, on at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 

(ii) the sum of the present values of the principal amount of such Notes and the scheduled payments of interest thereon (not including any
portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) from the date of redemption to August 3, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), in each case discounted to the date of redemption
on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 10 basis points, 

plus in each case accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. 

(b) At any time on or after August 3, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Issuer may at its
option redeem the Notes, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, on at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the date of redemption. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest
payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Notes 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 the Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the
average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation. 

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities
dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 

  
 A-7 








 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, 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
Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 

“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. 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to
be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the
Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global
Note. 
 7. Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with respect to
the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically
become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to
enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 

8. Authentication. 
 This Note
shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

10. CUSIP Numbers. 
 Pursuant to
a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
