                  COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term includes any successor corporation under the
Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede
& Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Million
Dollars ($250,000,000) on October 1, 2008 (the "Maturity Date"), unless
previously redeemed, and to pay interest thereon from September 22, 2003 or from
the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 in each year (each,
an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing April 1, 2004, at the rate of 3.875% per
annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly

<PAGE>

made availably for payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular
record date for such interest, which shall be March 15 or September 15 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest
Payment Date. Any such interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the registered Holder hereof on the relevant regular record date by
virtue of having been such Holder, and may be paid to the Person in whose name
this Note (or one or more predecessor securities) is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent special record date (which shall be not more than 15
days and not less than 10 days before the payment date) for the payment of such
defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to
the Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special
record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes
may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as
more fully provided in such Indenture. If any Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment
shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such
payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be, to such next Business Day. Payments of principal, premium, if any,
and interest hereunder shall be made in 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 shall be made immediately available to
the Holder (as defined below) hereof.

                  This Note is one of the duly authorized series of Securities
of the Company, designated as the Company's "3 7/8% Notes due 2008" (the
"Notes"), initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000,
all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June

(ii) the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), of the
present values of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and the
remaining scheduled payments of interest on the principal amount of this Note to
be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) from the
redemption date to October 1, 2008 (the "Remaining Life"), in each case
discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to the redemption date
on

<PAGE>

a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus in either
case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

                  "Comparable Treasury Issue" means, with respect to the Notes
subject to redemption, the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the
Remaining Life 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 with the Remaining Life.

                  "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any
redemption date, the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for
such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, or, if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

                  "Quotation Agent" means the Reference Treasury Dealer
appointed by the Company.

                  "Reference Treasury Dealer" means, with respect to the Notes

Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., their respective successors, and three
other primary United States Government securities dealers in The City of New
York (each, a "Primary Treasury Dealer") selected by the Company. If Banc of
America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc. shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute
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 Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

                  "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date
applicable to the Notes, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual yield to
maturity or interpolated (on a day-count basis) of the Comparable Treasury
Issue, calculated on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date 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.

                  Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 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 called for redemption.

<PAGE>

                  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price with respect
to and accrued interest on the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed on
the redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before

such date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note
called for redemption.

                  Except as provided above, this Note is not redeemable by the
Company prior to maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund.

                  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 exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i)
the Indenture may be amended with respect to the Notes with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes and
(ii) any default or noncompliance with any provisions applicable to the Notes
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
outstanding of the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the
Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may
amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency,
or to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations
of the Company under the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or to add additional covenants or
surrender any right or power conferred on the Company, or to establish the form
or terms of the Notes of any series, or to appoint a successor Trustee or
provide for administration of the trust by more than one Trustee, or to add to,
delete from or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the
authorized amount, terms or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of
the Notes or to add any additional event of default, or to modify the provisions
of the Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the defeasance and
discharge of the Notes as shall not adversely affect any Holders, or to secure
the Notes, or to make provisions respect to conversion or exchange rights of
Holders, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
Holder.

                  Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may
terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if
the Company deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations for the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the Maturity
Date.

                  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to
the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another
Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to
the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

                  No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and

<PAGE>

unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this
Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate, and in the coin or
currency herein prescribed.

                  No director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the
Company shall have any liability for any 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.

                  This Note and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to agreements
made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said state.

                  Ownership of this Note shall be proved by the register for the
Notes kept by the Registrar. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company may treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes.

                  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Note Identification Procedures, the Company has caused a CUSIP number to

a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on this Note.

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

                  Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to herein by the manual
signature of one of its authorized officers, or on behalf of the Trustee by the

at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice
as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in such
Indenture. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business
Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall
accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to such next Business
Day. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest hereunder shall be
made in 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
shall be made immediately available to the Holder (as defined below) hereof.

                  This Note is one of the duly authorized series of Securities

be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) from the
redemption date to May 15, 2013 (the "Remaining Life"), in each case discounted

accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

                  "Comparable Treasury Issue" means, with respect to the Notes

redemption date, the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for
such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

                  "Quotation Agent" means the Reference Treasury Dealer
appointed by the Company.

Inc. shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute
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 Trustee, 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 Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

                  "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date
applicable to the Notes, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual yield to
maturity or interpolated (on a day-count basis) of the Comparable Treasury
Issue, calculated on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date 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.

                  Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 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 called for redemption.

                  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price with respect
to and accrued interest on the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed on
the redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before

such date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note
called for redemption.

                  Except as provided above, this Note is not redeemable by the
Company prior to maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund.

                  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

Holder.

                  Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may
terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if
the Company deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations for the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the Maturity
Date.

                  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to
the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another
Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to
the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

                  No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the
rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

                  No director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the
Company shall have any liability for any 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.

                  This Note and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to agreements
made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said state.

                  Ownership of this Note shall be proved by the register for the
Notes kept by the Registrar. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company may treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes.
