Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal
amount of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement
of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with
instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Sections 304 and Section 305 of the Base Indenture and Section 2.2(c) of this Appendix A.

Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as Custodian or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such

a written request: 
 (i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

 the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met;

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, such Transfer Restricted Notes are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of this Appendix A or otherwise in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend, and are accompanied by a certification from the transferor in the form
provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be
requested pursuant thereto. 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A
Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, together with: 
 (i) a certification
from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and
other information as may be requested pursuant thereto; and 
 (ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to
direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information
regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, 
 the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to
cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the
Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If the

deliver to the Security Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or
another Global Note, and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial
interest in the Global Note being transferred. 
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one
Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount
equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being
transferred. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in
Section 2.3 of this Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee

information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably request.

with Section 2.2 of this Appendix A and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency”
registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depository. In addition, any Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial

indicated on the Schedule of Exchange of Global Notes attached hereto on October 15, 2045 (if such date is not a Business Day, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest for the Securities will be paid on the next Business Day);
provided, however, that no interest on that payment will accrue from and after October 15, 2045, and to pay interest thereon from October 9, 2015, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid
or duly provided for, semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing April 15, 2016, at the rate of 6.350% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable,
and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for
will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Interest on the Security
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date for the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as
if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. 

So long as all of the Securities of this series are represented by Global Securities, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any,
on this Global Security shall be paid in same day funds to the Depositary, or to such name or entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary. If at any time the Securities of this series are no longer represented by
the Global Securities and are issued in definitive form (“Certificated Securities”), then the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each Certificated Security at Maturity shall be paid to the Holder upon surrender
of such Certificated Security at the office or agency maintained by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be the principal corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as
Trustee) or at such other place or places as may be designated in or pursuant to the Indenture, provided that such Certificated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, acting as Paying Agent, in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in
such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest with respect to Certificated Securities other than at Maturity may, at the option of the Company, be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
it appears on the Security

Register on the relevant Regular or Special Record Date or by wire transfer in same day funds to such account as may have been appropriately designated to the Paying Agent by such Person in
writing not later than such relevant Regular or Special Record Date. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security
set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 Reverse of Security 

HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 9, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 9, 2015 (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture,” and together
with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face
hereof initially in aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000. 
 The Company may redeem the Securities, in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, on at least 30 days’ but no more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed to the registered Holders of the Securities to be redeemed. 

If the Company elects to redeem the Securities before the Par Call Date, the Company will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of: 

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

(ii) the sum, as determined by the Company based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present value of the of
the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the Securities matured on the Par Call Date, (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 55 basis points, 
 plus, in each
case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 If the Company elects to
redeem the Securities on or after the Par Call Date, the Company will pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the
Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent 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 the Securities (or such portion
thereof) called for redemption and such Securities will cease to be outstanding. If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Company 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 Securities are to be redeemed at any time, not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, the
particular Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Securities not previously called shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC or by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. No
Securities of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. 
 In the case of any redemption, the Security Registrar will not be required to
register the transfer or exchange of any Security: 
 (i) during a period beginning 15 days before the day of mailing of the
relevant notice of redemption and ending on the close of business on that day of mailing; or 

  
 - 11 - 







 (ii) if the Company has called the Security for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United
States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker, in accordance with customary financial practice, as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Securities (assuming for this
purpose that the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) to be redeemed. 
 “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 Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Company obtains fewer than
four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker”
means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time. 

“Par Call Date” means April 15, 2045 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC, and one additional dealer in U.S. Government securities selected by us (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) and their respective successors which the Company specifies from time to time; provided, however, that if any
of them ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, 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 Company 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 year equal to: (1) the yield, under the heading
which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” 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; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the Securities to be redeemed, 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 those yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) 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 year 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 such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 

The Indenture contains provisions, which will apply to the Securities, for defeasance and covenant defeasance and Events of Default with
respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders 

  
 - 12 - 







 
of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon
the registration or transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default
as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such
request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement
of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 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 and any premium and interest on this Security at the
times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 This Security shall be deemed to be a
contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of said State, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof. 

All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

Purchase of Securities upon a Change of Control Triggering Event 

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs after the Distribution, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities, the
Company will make an offer to each Holder of Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of Securities repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase. 

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after
the public announcement of the transaction or event that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each holder to which the Company is required to make a repurchase offer as described above, with a copy
to the Trustee, describing the transaction or event that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Securities on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than
30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice may, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event
occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. 

  
 - 13 - 







 On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 (i) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities (in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Company’s offer; 
 (ii)
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn; and 

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased by the Company. 
 The Paying
Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn the purchase price for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new
Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any such Securities surrendered; provided, that each new Security will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party
makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder,
to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
this provision, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this provision by virtue of any such conflict. 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following after consummation of the Distribution: 

(1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series
of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used for purposes of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger or
consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of the Company’s wholly owned
subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company
consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock
of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are
converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, immediately after giving effect to such
transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption by the Company of a plan providing for the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be considered to be a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (a) the
Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b) (y) immediately following that transaction, the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as
the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (z) immediately following that transaction, no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than a holding company
satisfying the requirements of this sentence, is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the holding company.
