All amounts so deposited, and the interest thereon, and dividends, distributions and other payments or proceeds in respect of, any such deposits, less any amounts released pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall constitute the “Escrowed Property.”  The Escrow Agent shall invest any portion of the Escrowed Property that is cash in Eligible Escrow Investments as directed by the Escrow Issuer in writing from time to time.  The Escrow Agent is hereby directed to hold cash in a non-interest bearing transaction account and this authorization is a permanent investment direction until the Escrow Agent is directed in writing by the Escrow Issuer of permissible alternate instructions.  All Escrowed Property shall be held in the Escrow Account until disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.  The Escrow Account and all property credited thereto, including the Escrowed Property shall be under the control (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders.

(iii)The obligation and liability of the Escrow Agent to make the payments and transfers required by this Agreement shall be limited to the Escrowed Property.

(b)Escrow Agent Compensation; Expense Reimbursement.

(i)The Escrow Issuer shall pay to Escrow Agent for services to be performed by it under this Agreement in accordance with the Escrow Agent’s fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Escrow Agent shall be paid any compensation owed to it directly by the Escrow Issuer and shall not disburse from the Escrow Account any such amounts, nor shall the Escrow Agent have any interest in the Escrow Account with respect to such amounts.  The provisions of this clause (i) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

(ii)The Escrow Issuer shall reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all reasonable and documented expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Escrow Agent in implementing any of the provisions of this Agreement, including compensation and the reasonable and documented expenses and disbursements of its counsel (limited to one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction).

The provisions of this clause (ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

(c)Substitution of Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent may resign by giving no less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Escrow Issuer and the Trustee.  Such resignation shall take effect

The Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged of all obligations under this Agreement and shall have no further duties, obligations or responsibilities in connection herewith, except to the limited extent set forth in Section 4.  If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed or has not accepted such appointment within 30 days after notice of resignation is given to the Escrow Issuer, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent.

3.Release of Escrowed Property.

(a)If at any time prior to the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Escrow Agent receives a Release Request from the Escrow Issuer, no later than 1 p.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day prior to such release, the Escrow Agent will release the Escrowed Property then held by it to or for the account or at the direction of the Escrow Issuer, in each case in an amount and pursuant to the written direction to the Escrow Agent as set forth in such Release Request.

(b)If a Special Mandatory Redemption Date occurs, the Escrow Agent will release to the Trustee all Escrowed Property then held by it pursuant to the written direction to the Escrow Agent provided by the Trustee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex II.

-5-

of its obligations hereunder, except for any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent; and (iii) the Escrow Issuer shall remain solely responsible for all aspects of the Escrow Issuer’s business and conduct.  In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable (i) for relying upon any judicial or administrative order or judgment, any opinion of counsel, or any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Escrow Issuer or the Trustee in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) for acting in accordance with or relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person, including any person believed to be a Responsible Officer, (iii) for any consequential, punitive or special damages, (iv) for the acts or omissions of its nominees, correspondents, designees, subagents or subcustodians or (v) for an amount in excess of the value of the Escrow Account, valued as of the date of deposit.

The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied.  The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement, including without limitation any other agreement between any or all of the parties hereto or any other persons even though reference thereto may be made herein.  The Escrow Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth in, or in connection with, this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent may rely in good faith upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which the Escrow Agent shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same.  The rights and powers granted to the Escrow Agent hereunder are being granted in order to preserve and protect the Trustee’s security interest in and to the Collateral granted hereby and shall not be interpreted to, and shall not, impose any duties on the Escrow Agent in connection therewith other than those imposed under applicable law.  The Escrow Agent shall exercise the same degree of care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession as it exercises toward its own similar property and shall not be held to any higher standard of care under this Agreement, nor be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Escrow Issuer, the Trustee, CCI, the Issuers or any other party. 
At any time the Escrow Agent may request in writing an instruction in writing from the Escrow Issuer (other than any disbursement pursuant to Section 6(b)(iii)), and may at its own option include in such request the course of action it proposes to take and the date on which it proposes to act, regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall state in such request that it believes in good faith that such proposed course of action is not contrary to any provision in this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Escrow Issuer for acting without the Escrow Issuer’s consent in accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified therein if (i) the specified date is at least five (5) Business Days after the Escrow Issuer receives the Escrow Agent’s request for instructions and its proposed course of action, and (ii) prior to so acting, the Escrow Agent has not received the written instructions requested from the Escrow Issuer.
At the expense of the Escrow Issuer, the Escrow Agent may act pursuant to the advice of counsel chosen by it with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in accordance with such advice, except for any such action taken or omitted in bad faith.
In the event of any manifest ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any funds, securities or property deposited hereunder, or instruction, notice or certification delivered hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such funds, securities or property, and the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable for its failure or refusal to comply with conflicting claims, demands or instructions.  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until either any conflicting or adverse claims or demands 

-6-

shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by agreement between the conflicting claimants as evidenced in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, or the Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to the Escrow Agent sufficient to hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or expense which the Escrow Agent may incur by reason of its acting.  The Escrow Agent may in addition elect in its sole option to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as the Escrow Agent may deem necessary.  The reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceedings shall be paid by, and shall be deemed an obligation of the Escrow Issuer.
No provision of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder.
The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Escrow Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God, terrorism or war, the failure or malfunction of communication or computer systems, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility).
5.Indemnity.  The Escrow Issuer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Escrow Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons, (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all claims, actions, obligations, liabilities and reasonable expenses, including reasonable defense costs, reasonable investigative fees and costs, reasonable legal fees, and claims for damages, arising from the Escrow Agent’s performance, or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s acceptance of appointment as the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Escrow Agent’s enforcement of its rights hereunder, except to the extent that such liability, expense or claim is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnified Person (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive any termination, satisfaction or discharge of this Agreement as well as the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

6.Grant of Security Interest; Instructions to Escrow Agent.

The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges the Trustee’s se-

-7-

curity interest and lien as set forth above.  The Escrow Issuer shall take all actions and shall direct the Trustee in writing to take all actions necessary on its part to insure the continuance of a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Trustee in order to secure all Indebtedness.  The Escrow Issuer shall not grant or cause or permit any other person to obtain a security interest, encumbrance, lien or other claim, direct or indirect, in the Escrow Issuer’s right, title or interest in the Escrow Account or any Collateral. 

(b)The Escrow Issuer and the Trustee hereby irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent to, and the Escrow Agent shall:

(iii)transfer the Collateral to the Trustee to the extent required by Section 3(c), Section 3(d) or Section 3(f).

The lien and security interest provided for in this Section 6 shall automatically terminate and cease as to, and shall not extend or apply to, and the Trustee and the Escrow Agent shall have no security interest in, any funds, securities or property disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the Escrow Issuer at such time as the Escrowed Property is released from the escrow on the Escrow Release Date.  The Escrow Agent shall not have any right to receive compensation from the Trustee and shall have no authority to obligate the Trustee or to compromise or pledge its security interest hereunder.  Accordingly, the Escrow Agent is hereby directed to cooperate with the Trustee in the exercise of its rights in the Collateral provided for herein.  
(c)The Escrow Issuer will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, or use its reasonable best efforts to procure, all assignments, instruments and other documents, deliver any instruments to the Trustee and take any other actions that are necessary or desirable to perfect, continue the perfection of, or protect the first priority of the Trustee’s security interest in and to the Collateral, to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims, or interests of third persons or to effect the purposes of this Agreement and agree to file or to cause to be filed one or more UCC financing statements and continuation statements in such jurisdictions and filing offices and containing such description of collateral as are reasonably necessary or advisable in order to perfect the security interest granted herein.  The Escrow Issuer also hereby authorizes the Trustee to file any financing or continuation statements with respect to the Collateral without its respective signature (to the extent permitted by applicable law).  The Escrow Issuer shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any of the foregoing, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to determine whether to file or record any document or instrument relating to Collateral.  Neither the Trustee nor the Escrow Agent shall have 

-8-

any duty or obligation to file or record any document or otherwise to see to the grant or perfection of any security interest granted hereunder.

(d)The Escrow Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to do any act that the Escrow Issuer is obligated hereby to do, and the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, exercise such rights as the Escrow Issuer might exercise with respect to the Collateral and take any action in the Escrow Issuer’s name to protect the Trustee’s security interest hereunder.  

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Escrow Agent shall receive any “entitlement order” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the Trustee directing the disposition of funds in the Escrow Account or otherwise related to the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall comply with any such entitlement order without further consent by the Escrow Issuer or any other person.

(f)The Escrow Agent represents that it is a “securities intermediary” and that the Escrow Account is a “securities account” (as each such term is defined in the UCC).  

(g)The Escrow Issuer represents and warrants that it was duly organized and is validly existing as a Delaware limited liability company and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction, and during the term of this Agreement, it will not change its legal name, identity or organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization without giving the Trustee prompt written notice and within thirty (30) days it shall have taken all actions reasonably necessary to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereunder, if applicable.

(h)The Escrow Issuer hereby confirms that the arrangements established under this Section 6 constitute “control” (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) by the Trustee of the Escrow Account and the Escrowed Property credited thereto.  The Escrow Agent and the Escrow Issuer have not entered and will not enter into any other agreement with respect to control of the Escrow Account or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Escrow Agent to comply with any orders or instructions of the Trustee with respect to the Escrow Account as set forth in this Section 6.  In the event of any conflict with respect to control over the Escrow Account between this Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.  

(i)The Escrow Agent hereby agrees that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or right of setoff against, the Escrow Account or any funds therein or credited thereto that it now has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Trustee in the Escrow Account and the funds therein or credited thereto.  The Escrow Agent agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against the Escrow Account or to assert against the Escrow Account any present or future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties) that the Escrow Agent may at any time have against or in the Escrow Account or any funds therein or credited thereto.

7.Termination.  This Agreement and the security interest in the Escrowed Property evidenced by this Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect upon the distribution of all Escrowed Property in accordance with Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under Section 2(b) and Section 5 (and any existing claims thereunder) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

-9-

8.Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Trustee for its own benefit and the benefit of the Holders and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Escrow Issuer hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Indebtedness, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture;

(c)any exchange, surrender, release or non-perfection of any Liens on any other collateral for all or any of the Indebtedness; or

(d)to the extent permitted by applicable law, any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Escrow Issuer in respect of the Indebtedness or of this Agreement.

9.Miscellaneous.

(a)Waiver.  Any party hereto may specifically waive any breach of this Agreement by any other party, but no such waiver shall be deemed to have been given unless such waiver is in writing, signed by the waiving party and specifically designating the breach waived, nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver of similar or other breaches.

(b)Invalidity.  If for any reason whatsoever any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in a particular case or in all cases, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering any of the other provisions of this Agreement inoperative, unenforceable or invalid, and the inoperative, unenforceable or invalid provision shall be construed as if it were written so as to effectuate, to the maximum extent possible, the parties’ intent.

(c)Assignment.

(o)Patriot Act.  To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Trustee and/or the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity.

-13-

ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

(p)Security Advice.

$1,295,000,000 
 AT&T Inc., a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called “AT&T”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
The Bank of New York Depository (Nominee) Limited (the “Depository”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of U.S. dollars appearing on the attached Schedule of Increases and Decreases on November 10, 2044 (the “Maturity
Date”), and to pay interest on said principal sum from November 10, 2014 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on May 10 and November 10 in
each year, commencing on May 10, 2015 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) and on the Maturity Date, at the interest rate of 4.700% 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 persons in whose names our Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest, which shall be the close of business on April 25 or October 26, as the case may be (each, a “Regular Record Date”), 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 Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) 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 Notes not less than 15 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 Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

 Any money that AT&T deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of
principal or any interest on this Note that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and interest are due and payable, will be repaid to AT&T upon AT&T’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to
collect only from AT&T. 
 If the Notes are issued in definitive form, payment of the principal and interest on this Note due at the
Maturity Date or upon redemption will be made at the Maturity Date or upon redemption, as the case may be, upon presentation of this Note, in immediately available funds, at the office of The Bank of New York Mellon (London Branch), the Paying Agent
for the Notes, currently located at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL. The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Notes is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., currently located at 601 Travis Street, 16th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002. 
 Payment of interest on this Note due on an Interest
Payment Date, other than interest at maturity or upon redemption, may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Depository as
Holder of the Notes or (2) a Holder of more than U.S.$5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes in definitive form is entitled to require the Paying Agent to make payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or upon
redemption, by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account maintained by the Holder, by sending appropriate wire transfer instructions as long as the Paying Agent receives the instructions not less than ten days prior to the
applicable Interest Payment Date. The principal and interest payable in U.S. dollars on any of the Notes at maturity, or upon redemption will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds against presentation of a Note at the office of the
Paying Agent. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note 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 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication 

This is one of the 4.700% Global Notes due 2044 
 of the series
designated herein referred to 
 in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., 

					
	as Trustee	  	
			
	By:	  	 	  	Dated: November 10, 2014
		  	Authorized Signatory	  	

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of AT&T of the series specified on the face hereof, issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2013, between AT&T and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, AT&T and the Holders
of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes will be issued in fully registered form only and in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This Note
is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,295,000,000. 
 The Indenture
permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of AT&T and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by AT&T and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to
waive compliance by AT&T 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 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

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

Principal and interest payments in respect of the Notes are payable by AT&T in U.S. dollars. Interest will be computed on the basis of the
number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or November 10, 2014 if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to but
excluding the next scheduled interest payment date (such number of days being calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months). This payment convention is referred to as 30/360. 

Payment Without Withholding 

All payments in respect of the Notes by or on behalf of AT&T shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any
present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed, collected, withheld, assessed or 

 
levied by or on behalf of the Relevant Jurisdiction (as defined herein), unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by law. In that event, AT&T will pay such additional
amounts to a Holder who is a United States Alien (as defined herein) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holder after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in
respect of the Notes in the absence of the withholding or deduction; except that no such additional amounts shall be payable in relation to any payment in respect of any Note: 

(a) where such withholding or deduction would not have been so imposed but for: 

(i) in the case of payment by AT&T, the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor,
shareholder, beneficiary or member of the Holder, if such Holder is an estate, a trust, a corporation or a partnership) and the United States, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, shareholder, beneficiary or
member) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident thereof, or being or having been engaged in trade or business or presence therein, or having or having had a permanent establishment therein; 

(ii) in the case of payment by AT&T, the present or former status of the Holder as a personal holding company, a foreign personal holding
company, a passive foreign investment company, or a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes or a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; 

(iii) in the case of payment by AT&T, the past or present or future status of the Holder as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more
of either the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of AT&T entitled to vote if AT&T was treated as a corporation, or the capital or profits interest in AT&T, if AT&T is treated as a partnership for United States
federal income tax purposes or as a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c) (3) (A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; or 

(iv) the failure by the Holder to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
residence, identity or connection with the United States (in the case of payment by AT&T) of such Holder, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation as a precondition to exemption from such withholding or deduction; 

(b) in the case of payment by AT&T to any United States Alien, if such person is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole
beneficial owner of any such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner would not have been entitled to the additional amounts had such beneficiary,
settlor, member or beneficial owner been the bearer of 

  
 2 

 
such Note. As used herein, “United States Alien” means any person who, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual, a
non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident alien
fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust; 
 (c) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is as a result of the imposition of any gift,
inheritance, estate, sales, transfer, personal property or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
 (d) to, or to a third
party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for the Taxes in respect of the Note by reason of his having any or some present or former connection, including but not limited to fiscal residency, fiscal deemed residency and substantial interest
shareholdings, with the Relevant Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the Note; 
 (e) presented for payment more than 30 days
after the Relevant Date except to the extent that a Holder would have been entitled to additional amounts on presenting the relevant Note for payment on the last day of the period of 30 days assuming that day to have been an Interest Payment
Date; 
 (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal or of
interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without withholding by any other paying agent; 
 (g) any tax, assessment or governmental
charge that is imposed or withheld solely because the beneficial owner or any other person failed 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 AT&T’s Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States Treasury Department 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; 
 (h) any tax, assessment or governmental charge that is
imposed or withheld solely because of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective after the day on which the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; or 

(i) any combination of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) immediately above. 

In addition, any amounts to be paid on the Notes will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections
1471 through 1474 of the Code, 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

  
 3 

 
adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code, and no additional amounts will be required to be paid on
account of any such deduction or withholding. 
 Optional Redemption by AT&T 

AT&T may redeem the Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, in whole but not in part, on each November 10
on or after November 10, 2016 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest payable to the date of redemption. AT&T will calculate the redemption price in connection
with any redemption hereunder. 
 On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes
called for redemption, unless AT&T defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest. On or before the redemption date, AT&T will deposit with a Paying Agent or the Trustee money sufficient to pay the redemption price of
and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on that date. 
 Redemption Upon a Tax Event 

If (a) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction, or any change in the official
interpretation of the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction, which change or amendment becomes effective after November 10, 2014, on the next Interest Payment Date AT&T would be required to pay additional amounts as provided or
referred to above under “Payment Without Withholding” and (b) the requirement cannot be avoided by AT&T’s taking reasonable measures available to it, AT&T may at its option, having given not less than 30 nor more than 60
calendar days’ notice to the Holders (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem all, but not a portion of, the Notes at any time at their principal amount together with interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption provided that
no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which AT&T would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of
redemption pursuant to this paragraph, AT&T shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by two executive officers of AT&T stating that the requirement referred to in (a) above will apply on the next Interest Payment Date and
setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of AT&T so to redeem have occurred, cannot be avoided by AT&T taking reasonable measures available to it and an opinion of independent legal advisers of
recognized international standing to the effect that AT&T has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of the change or amendment, in each case to be held by the Trustee and made available for viewing at the offices of
the Trustee on request by any Holder. 
 “Relevant Date” means the date on which the payment first becomes due but, if the full
amount of the money payable has not been received by the Trustee on or before the due date, it means the date which is seven days after the date on which, the full amount of the money having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been
