(h)                        Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(ii)                                  may have a different issue price from other Outstanding Notes; and

 

(iii)                               may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes;

 

provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have one or more separate ISIN numbers.

ARTICLE 7
 PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

 

Section 7.01.                          Payment of Additional Amounts.  All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes by the Company or a Paying Agent on the Company’s behalf will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other similar governmental charges imposed or levied by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States (collectively, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event such withholding or deduction for Taxes is

 

11

 

required by law, subject to the limitations described below, the Company shall pay to or on account of any beneficial owner of Notes who is not a U.S. Person (as defined below) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by such beneficial owner, after withholding or deduction for such Taxes, will be equal to the amount such person would have received in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts shall be payable for or on account of:

 

(a)                        any Taxes which would not have been so imposed, withheld or deducted but for:

 

(i)                                     the existence of any present or former connection between the holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity or between a person related to the holder or beneficial owner) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner or person having such a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of the United States, being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States, being or having been present in the United States, or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

 

(ii)                                  the failure of the holder, the beneficial owner or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge (including, but not limited to, the requirement to provide Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successor thereto, and including, without limitation, any documentation requirement under an applicable income tax treaty); or

 

(b)                        any Taxes imposed by reason of the holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former status as a foreign personal holding company, or personal holding company, with respect to the United States, as a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States, as a passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States, as a foreign tax exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

 

12

 

(c)                         any Taxes which would not have been imposed, withheld or deducted but for the holder or beneficial owner being or having been (x) a ‘‘10-percent shareholder’’ of ours as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any successor provision, (y) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code or (z) a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business;

 

(d)                        any Taxes which would not have been imposed, withheld or deducted but for the presentation by the holder or beneficial owner of such note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of the Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

(e)                         any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property, wealth or similar Taxes;

 

(f)                          any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment on such Note;

 

(g)                         any Taxes which are imposed, withheld or deducted with respect to, or payable by, a Holder that is not the beneficial owner of the Note, or a portion of the Note, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other similar entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or member of such partnership, limited liability company or similar entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had such beneficial owner, settlor, beneficiary or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

 

(h)                        any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted by any Paying Agent from any payment on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding or deduction by at least one other Paying Agent;

 

(i)                            any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted where such withholding or deduction is imposed pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such European Council Directive;

 

(j)                           any Taxes imposed, withheld or deducted under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

 

(k)                        any Taxes that would not have been imposed, withheld or deducted but for a change in any law, treaty, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the applicable payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; or

 

13

 

(l)                            any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g)(h), (i), (j) and (k).

 

Section 7.02.                          General.  (a) For purposes of thisArticle 7, the acquisition, ownership, enforcement, or holding of or the receipt of any payment with respect to a Note will not, in and of itself, constitute a connection (1) between the Holder or beneficial owner and the United States or (2) between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity and the United States. Except as specifically provided under this Article 7, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority.

 

(b)                        If the Company is required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, the Company shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate that specifies the Additional Amounts payable and when the Additional Amounts are payable. If the Trustee and the Paying Agent do not receive such an Officer’s Certificate from the Company, the Trustee and Paying agent may rely on the absence of such an Officer’s Certificate in assuming that no such Additional Amounts are payable.

 

(c)                         In addition, the Company undertakes that, to the extent permitted by law, it shall maintain a Paying Agent that will not require withholding or deduction of tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such European Council Directive.

 

(d)                        As used in this Article 7, “U.S. Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

INTEL CORPORATION
 4.90% Senior Notes due 2045

 

1.                                      Interest.

 

Intel Corporation (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 August 11, 2015.  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 semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on February 11, 2016.  If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Redemption Date 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, Redemption Date 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, Elavon Financial Services Limited, UK Branch, will act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuer may appoint and change the Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

 

3.                                      Indenture; Defined Terms.

 

This Note is one of the 4.90% Senior Notes due 2045 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of March 29, 2006, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 3, 2007 (together, the “Base Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”) and, as amended, modified and supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 11, 2015 (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Trustee

 

A-5

 

and the Paying Agent.  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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them.  To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

4.                                      Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $100,000 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 for a period of fifteen (15) days before the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption.

 

5.                                      Amendment; Modification; Waiver.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of Notes affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such Notes and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding (voting together as a single class), on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive future compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.  Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the Indenture also permits the amendment or supplement thereof to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with qualifications of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of Holders in any material respect.

 

A-6

 

6.                                      Optional Redemption.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate 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.

Intel Corporation (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 August 11, 2015.  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 semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on February 11, 2016.  If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Redemption Date 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, Redemption Date 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, Elavon Financial Services Limited, UK Branch, will act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuer may appoint and change the Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.
