 We, Kurt

(the “Company”), do hereby certify in the name of and on behalf of the Company and not in our respective personal capacities as follows: 

1. The Dealer Manager Agreement, dated November 20, 2017 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), between the Company and

2. The Prospectus of the Company dated December 13, 2017 and the offering of securities contemplated thereby, is hereby approved and
ratified in all respects. 
 3. Pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, Section 2.1 of the Indenture, dated as of
November 29, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Trustee”) and this Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of the series
of Notes (as defined below) pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Indenture (the “Officers’ Certificate”), the undersigned have read the provisions of the Indenture relating to the establishment of the series of Securities to be
authenticated and delivered thereunder, including Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 10.3 and 10.4 and the definitions related thereto, as well as such other documents as they have deemed necessary or appropriate to certify as to the matters set forth herein.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Officers’ Certificate are used as defined in the Indenture. 
 4. The review of such
provisions was undertaken in order to permit the undersigned to certify whether all conditions precedent (including any covenants, compliance with which constitute conditions precedent) provided for in the Indenture, for the establishment of the
Notes as one separate series of securities, the form and terms of which are set forth below, and the authentication and delivery thereof have been complied with. 

5. Accordingly, in the opinion of the undersigned, all conditions precedent under the Indenture to the execution and authentication of the
Securities and the delivery of the Securities have been complied with. 
 6. There is hereby established the following series of securities
of the Company for issuance under the Indenture as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	The title of such series of Securities shall be the “5.200% Notes due 2025” (the “Notes”). 









	 	(b)	The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall initially be $871,747,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or
in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.11, 3.6 and 9.6 of the Indenture). 

  

	 	(c)	The principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall be payable on December 3, 2025 (the “Stated Maturity”). 

  

	 	(d)	Interest on the Notes issued on the date hereof shall accrue from December 3, 2017. 

 The
Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.200% per annum. 
 Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears each
June 3 and December 3 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on June 3, 2018, to the Holders of record as of the close of business on each May 19 and November 19 (whether or not a Business Day), as
the case may be, next preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, except that the Company will pay interest at the Stated Maturity to the person or persons to whom principal is payable. 

Interest on the Notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 If any day on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, the payment
of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next date that is a Business Day, without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay, with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled payment date. 

The place or places where the principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable, where they may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company may be served in respect of the Notes and the Indenture shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at any other place as the Company may designate. 

 

	 	(e)	The Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be
redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”); provided that if
the Company redeems any Notes on or after September 3, 2025 (three months prior to the Stated Maturity), the redemption price for those Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 


  
 2 








 In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount
such payments to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate
plus 45 basis points. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment
Banker as having an actual or interpolated 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 such Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with
respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the arithmetic 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 Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will
substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

in New York City.

Morgan Securities LLC, or Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company, and each of their respective successors and any other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the
arithmetic 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 as of
3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

  
 3 








 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note to be redeemed,
the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Note that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest
Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to
maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the Company will assume 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. 
  

	 	(f)	The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

  

	 	(g)	The Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities. 

  

	 	(h)	The Depositary shall be DTC. 

  

	 	(i)	The amount of payments of principal or interest shall not be determined with reference to an index, formula, or other similar method.

the Notes.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

  

	 	(l)	The principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable only in Dollars. 

  

	 	(m)	The Notes shall not be convertible into common stock of the Company.

	1.	Interest. 

 Amazon.com, Inc. (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 December 3, 2017. Interest on this
Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, beginning on June 3, 2018. If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the
next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the
date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment. 

 

	2.	Paying Agent. 

 Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the

equal principal amount of Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer
tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period

waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes. 

Any amendment, supplement, or waiver to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to the Notes only,
and not any other series of Securities. 
  

	6.	Optional Redemption. 

 The Notes shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from
time to time, at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, plus, in each
case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”); provided that if the Issuer redeems any Notes on or after September 3, 2025 (three months prior to the stated

Investment Banker” means each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Issuer;

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Issuer, 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 Issuer by

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on such Note that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the
next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date. 
 “Treasury
Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In
determining this rate, the Issuer will assume 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. 

 

	7.	Defaults and Remedies. 

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of
Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on
such Securities. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Indenture occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable without any
action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.
