 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED 

1.750% Notes due 2020 
  

	 	1.	Interest. 

 Texas Instruments Incorporated (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 May 6, 2015. Interest
on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing November 1, 2015 to the person in whose name the Note is registered
at the close of business on the preceding Interest Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA Uniform Practice Code. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful. 
  

	 	2.	Paying Agent. 

 Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the
“Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Issuer may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders. 
  

	 	3.	Indenture; Defined Terms. 

 This Note is one of the 1.750% Notes due 2020 (the
“Notes”) issued under an indenture dated as of May 23, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, and established pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate dated May 6, 2015,
issued pursuant to Section 2.01 and Section 2.03 thereof (together, the “Indenture”). 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  

  
 B-5 

 
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 $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 thereafter. 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 or portions
thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part. 

 

	 	5.	Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of
the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of all series of Outstanding Securities (including the Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting together as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto
may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA,
or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note in any material respect. 
  

	 	6.	Redemption. 

 (a) At any time before April 1, 2020, the Issuer may at its option redeem any
of the Notes in whole or in part at any time, each at a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of: 
 (i) 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 
 (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 10 basis points, 
 plus in each case accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. 

  
 B-6 

 (b) At any time on or after April 1, 2020, the Issuer may at its option redeem any of the
Notes in whole or in part at any time, each at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a
redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a
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 the Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date,
(i) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than three such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation. 

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (or their
respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a
“Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date,
the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, 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 Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
 “Treasury
Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming 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. 

  
 B-7 

 Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the
case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note. 
  

	 	7.	Defaults and Remedies. 

 If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default
with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, shall by written notice,
require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing,
then the entire principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the
Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
  

	 	8.	Authentication. 

 This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate
of authentication on this Note. 
  

	 	9.	Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 

 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder
of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act). 

  
 B-8 

	 	10.	CUSIP Numbers. 

 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed hereon. 
  

	 	11.	Governing Law. 

 The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Note
thereof.
