determines not to require that all of the Notes be represented by a Global Note. In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an entirety pursuant to this Section 2.02(d), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee
for cancellation and (i) the Company shall execute and (ii) the Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the Company, authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial
interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. 
 (e) The
Trustee shall have no responsibility for the actions or omissions of the Depository or the accuracy of the books and records of the Depository.

 Qwest Corporation 7.00% Note due 2052 

QWEST CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Colorado (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
            MILLION DOLLARS ($            ) (or such other amount as shall be listed on Schedule I attached hereto) on
April 1, 2052 (the “Maturity Date”), unless previously redeemed on any redemption date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds of such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts and to pay interest thereon quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing July 1, 2012 (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”), and on the Maturity Date at the rate per annum specified in the title of this Note, from April 2, 2012 (or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for) until payment of such
principal sum has been made or duly provided for. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date, then this Note shall bear interest from the most recent Interest Payment Date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid on this Note or duly provided for, from April 2, 2012. The interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date, as long as the Notes are represented by a global
security, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to herein, will be paid to the person in whose name this Note shall be registered at the close of business on the Business Day (as defined below) prior to such Interest
Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date is a Legal Holiday (as defined in the Indenture referred to below) in New York, New York, the required payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday as if
it was made on the date such payment was due and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, to such next succeeding day. Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full quarterly interest period will be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 90-day quarter of three
30-day months. “Business Day” means any day other than a Legal Holiday. 
 This Note is one of the duly authorized
series of Securities of the Company, designated as the Company’s “7.00% Notes due 2052” (the “Notes”), initially limited to the aggregate principal amount of $525,000,000, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of October 15, 1999 between the Company and Bank of New York Trust Company National Association, as trustee (as successor in interest to Bank One Trust Company, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as

Company and the Trustee, as such may be further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (as so amended, modified or supplemented, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto 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 (the words “Holders” or “Holder” meaning the registered holders or registered
holder of the Notes). 
 The Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on and
after April 1, 2017, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. 
 If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all of the Notes (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 specified in the Indenture are satisfied, then on and after such redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption. 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 calendar days before the redemption date to the Holder hereof
at its registered address. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to
register the transfer of or exchange the Notes to be redeemed by the Company under the terms hereof. 
 In case an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal hereof 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. 

Subject to certain specified exceptions, the Indenture contains provisions permitting (i) the Company and the Trustee, with the
written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected by a supplemental indenture (with each series voting as a class), to enter into a supplemental indenture to add any provisions to
or to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or to modify, in certain specified instances without the consent of Holders, the rights of the Holders of each such series, and (ii) the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected by such waiver (with each series voting as a class), by notice to the Trustee to waive compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture, any supplemental
indenture or the Securities of any such series.

prescribed.

obligations of the Company under this Note or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issue of this Note.

Indenture and this Note.

Terms used herein without definition that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained
in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
 Unless the
Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to herein by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized officers, or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of
