 CHEVRON CORPORATION 

1.344% NOTE DUE 2017 
 This Note
is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of Chevron, not limited in aggregate principal amount, all issued or to be issued in one or more series of varying dates, numbers, interest rates and other provisions, under an Indenture dated as of
June 15, 1995, as amended by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 (such indenture as so amended being herein referred to as the “Indenture”) each being between Chevron and the Trustee. This Note is one
of a series of Notes designated as its “1.344% Notes Due 2017” aggregating $1,000,000,000 in principal amount (herein called the “Notes”). 

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of Chevron, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the registered owner of this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. The Indenture contains provisions permitting Chevron
and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which term is defined in the Indenture as any security or securities of Chevron, authenticated and delivered under the
Indenture) at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture) and affected by such supplemental indenture, to execute one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of such Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each
Outstanding Security (including the Notes) affected thereby: (1) change the fixed maturity or redemption date of any Note, or reduce the rate of interest on any Note or the method of determining such rate of interest or extend the time of
payment of interest, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which the Notes or the interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof, (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of holders of the Outstanding Securities whose consent is required for the execution of such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the
holders of which is required for any waiver provided for in the Indenture or (3) change the time of payment. It is also provided in the Indenture that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive (a) compliance by
Chevron with the covenants contained in Article Four of the Indenture with respect to the Notes and (b) any past or existing Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences except a continuing default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the registered owner of the Note so affected. 

The Notes shall be subject to redemption, at the option of Chevron, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including the portion of any such payments of interest
accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis, calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus interest accrued on the Notes being redeemed to
the redemption date. The “Adjusted Treasury Rate” is to be determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date and means (1) the arithmetic mean of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the
Statistical Release (hereinafter defined) most recently published prior to the date of determination under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining term, as
of the applicable redemption date, of the Notes being redeemed plus (2) 0.07%. If no maturity set forth under such heading exactly corresponds to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most
closely corresponding to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed will be calculated as described in the preceding sentence, and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis,
rounding each of the relevant period to the nearest month. The term “Statistical Release” means the statistical release designation “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System
and which establishes yields on actively-traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the terms of the Notes, then such other
reasonably comparable index as Chevron shall designate. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption shall be given to the registered owners of Notes to be redeemed by mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption, to their addresses as they appear on the register books. 
 If an Event of Default (as that term is
defined in the Indenture) shall occur, the principal of all Notes and the interest accrued thereon may be declared due and payable upon the conditions, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that in
certain events such declaration and its consequences may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding. 

The Notes are issuable in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notes may be
exchanged for a like aggregate amount of Notes of other authorized denominations as provided in the Indenture. This Note is transferable at the office of the Trustee by the registered owner hereof in person, or by such registered owner’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of Chevron at said office, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon such
transfer a new fully registered Note or Notes of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. 

Chevron, the Trustee and any agent of Chevron or the Trustee and any paying agent may treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner
of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than Chevron or the Trustee) for the purpose of receiving payment hereof or on account hereof and for
all other purposes, and none of Chevron, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 THIS NOTE AND THE
OBLIGATIONS OF CHEVRON IN RESPECT HEREOF ARE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of Chevron or of any successor of Chevron, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

 CHEVRON CORPORATION 

FLOATING RATE NOTE DUE 2017 
 Unless
this Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York Corporation (“DTC”), to Chevron Corporation or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment and any Note issued is registered
in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co., or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL, inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 

CHEVRON CORPORATION (herein referred to as “Chevron”), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [         ] Dollars [$[         ]) on
November 9, 2017 in lawful money of the United States of America. 
 The 2017 Floating Rate Notes shall bear interest at a variable
rate from November 17, 2015, payable on each February 9, May 9, August 9 and November 9, commencing February 9, 2016 (each an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date for the 2017
Floating Rate Notes falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the applicable interest payment will be made on the next Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the interest payment will be
made on the next preceding Business Day, in each case with interest accruing to the applicable Interest Payment Date as so adjusted. The interest rate for the 2017 Floating Rate Notes for a particular Interest Period (as defined below) will be a per
annum rate equal to LIBOR (as defined below) as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) by the calculation agent appointed by the Company, which initially will be the Trustee (the “Calculation Agent”),
plus 0.36%. The interest rate on the 2017 Floating Rate Notes shall be reset on the first day of each Interest Period other than the initial Interest Period (each an “Interest Reset Date”). An interest period is the period commencing on an
Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the initial Interest Period, commencing on November 17, 2015) and ending on the day preceding the next Interest Payment Date (each an “Interest Period”). The initial Interest Period is
November 17, 2015 through February 8, 2016. The interest determination date for an Interest Period will be the second London Business Day preceding the first day of such Interest Period (the “Interest Determination Date”). The
Interest Determination Date for the initial interest period will be November 13, 2015. Interest on the 2017 Floating Rate Notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in each quarterly interest period and a 360-day year.

 “LIBOR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) with respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three
months commencing on the first day of the applicable Interest Period that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect of that Interest
Determination Date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (ii) below. 
 (ii) with respect to an Interest
Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, as specified in (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as
selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable Interest Period, to prime banks in the
London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two
quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having
a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; provided that if the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the
manner described by this sentence, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding interest reset date or if there is no immediately preceding interest reset date, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the
initial Interest Period. 
 “London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in United States dollars are transacted on the
London interbank market. 
 “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters (or
such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits of major banks). 

  
 B-1 

 All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to
the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). 
 The interest rate on the 2017
Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application. 

The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of the 2017 Floating Rate Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect with
respect to the 2017 Floating Rate Notes and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest Period. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate in accordance with the foregoing and shall notify the
Trustee or paying agent of such interest rate. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Chevron and holders of the 2017 Floating Rate Notes and neither the
Trustee nor any paying agent shall have the duty to verify determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent. 
 The principal
hereof is payable upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the principal office of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”). Interest on this Note may be payable by check or draft mailed to
the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest payment at such person’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Trustee. The Record Date for the Notes is the date
which is 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 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 FULLY SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE. 
 This Note shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture (hereinafter defined), or become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the Certificate of Authentication hereon endorsed shall have been executed by manual signature by the Trustee. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CHEVRON CORPORATION has caused this Note to be signed by its Assistant Treasurer manually or in facsimile and its
corporate seal to be imprinted hereon and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

June 15, 1995, as amended by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 (such indenture as so amended being herein referred to as the “Indenture”) each being between Chevron and the Trustee. This Note is one
of a series of Notes designated as its “1.790% Notes Due 2018” aggregating $1,250,000,000 in principal amount (herein called the “Notes”). 

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of Chevron, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the registered owner of this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. The Indenture contains provisions permitting Chevron
and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which term is defined in the Indenture as any security or securities of Chevron, authenticated and delivered under the

Outstanding Security (including the Notes) affected thereby: (1) change the fixed maturity or redemption date of any Note, or reduce the rate of interest on any Note or the method of determining such rate of interest or extend the time of
payment of interest, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which the Notes or the interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the

The Notes shall be subject to redemption, at the option of Chevron, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including the portion of any such payments of interest
accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis, calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus interest accrued on the Notes being redeemed to
the redemption date. The “Adjusted Treasury Rate” is to be determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date and means (1) the arithmetic mean of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the

 CHEVRON CORPORATION 

FLOATING RATE NOTE DUE 2018 
 Unless
this Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York Corporation (“DTC”), to Chevron Corporation or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment and any Note issued is registered
in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co., or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL, inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 

CHEVRON CORPORATION (herein referred to as “Chevron”), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [         ] Dollars ($[         ]) on
November 16, 2018 in lawful money of the United States of America. 
 The 2018 Floating Rate Notes shall bear interest at a variable
rate from November 17, 2015, payable on each February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16, commencing February 16, 2016 (each an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date for the 2018
Floating Rate Notes falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the applicable interest payment will be made on the next Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the interest payment will be
made on the next preceding Business Day, in each case with interest accruing to the applicable Interest Payment Date as so adjusted. The interest rate for the 2018 Floating Rate Notes for a particular Interest Period (as defined below) will be a per
annum rate equal to LIBOR (as defined below) as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) by the calculation agent appointed by the Company, which initially will be the Trustee (the “Calculation Agent”),
plus 0.51%. The interest rate on the 2018 Floating Rate Notes shall be reset on the first day of each Interest Period other than the initial Interest Period (each an “Interest Reset Date”). An interest period is the period commencing on an
Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the initial Interest Period, commencing on November 17, 2015) and ending on the day preceding the next Interest Payment Date (each an “Interest Period”). The initial Interest Period is
November 17, 2015 through February 15, 2016. The interest determination date for an Interest Period will be the second London Business Day preceding the first day of such Interest Period (the “Interest Determination Date”). The
Interest Determination Date for the initial interest period will be November 13, 2015. Interest on the 2018 Floating Rate Notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in each quarterly interest period and a 360-day year.

 “LIBOR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) with respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three
months commencing on the first day of the applicable Interest Period that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect of that Interest
Determination Date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (ii) below. 
 (ii) with respect to an Interest
Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, as specified in (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as
selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable Interest Period, to prime banks in the
London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two
quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having
a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; provided that if the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the
manner described by this sentence, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding interest reset date or if there is no immediately preceding interest reset date, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the
initial Interest Period. 
 “London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in United States dollars are transacted on the
London interbank market. 
 “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters (or
such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits of major banks). 

  
 D-1 

 All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to
the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). 
 The interest rate on the 2018
Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application. 

The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of the 2018 Floating Rate Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect with
respect to the 2018 Floating Rate Notes and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest Period. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate in accordance with the foregoing and shall notify the
Trustee or paying agent of such interest rate. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Chevron and holders of the 2018 Floating Rate Notes and neither the
Trustee nor any paying agent shall have the duty to verify determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent. 
 The principal
hereof is payable upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the principal office of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”). Interest on this Note may be payable by check or draft mailed to
the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest payment at such person’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Trustee. The Record Date for the Notes is the date
which is 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date. 
 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 FULLY SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE. 
 This Note shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture (hereinafter defined), or become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the Certificate of Authentication hereon endorsed shall have been executed by manual signature by the Trustee. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CHEVRON CORPORATION has caused this Note to be signed by its Assistant Treasurer manually or in facsimile and its
corporate seal to be imprinted hereon and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

 This
Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of Chevron, not limited in aggregate principal amount, all issued or to be issued in one or more series of varying dates, numbers, interest rates and other provisions, under an Indenture dated as

one of a series of Notes designated as its “Floating Rate Notes Due 2018” aggregating $250,000,000 in principal amount (herein called the “Notes”). 

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of Chevron, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the registered owner of this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. The Indenture contains provisions permitting Chevron

the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of such Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each
Outstanding Security (including the Notes) affected thereby: (1) change the fixed maturity date of any Note, or reduce the rate of interest on any Note or the method of determining such rate of interest or extend the time of payment of
interest, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or change the coin or currency in which the Notes or the interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof,
(2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of holders of the Outstanding Securities whose consent is required for the execution of such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the holders of which is required for any waiver provided for in the
Indenture or (3) change the time of payment. It is also provided in the Indenture that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive (a) compliance by Chevron with the covenants contained in Article Four of the
Indenture with respect to the Notes and (b) any past or existing Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences except a continuing default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes or in respect of a covenant
or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the registered owner of the Note so affected. 

The 2018 Floating Rate Notes will not be redeemable prior to maturity.

surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Note or Notes of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. 

Chevron, the Trustee and any agent of Chevron or the Trustee and any paying agent may treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner
of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than Chevron or the Trustee) for the purpose of receiving payment hereof or on account hereof and for
all other purposes, and none of Chevron, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

2.419% NOTE DUE 2020 
 This Note
is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of Chevron, not limited in aggregate principal amount, all issued or to be issued in one or more series of varying dates, numbers, interest rates and other provisions, under an Indenture dated as of
June 15, 1995, as amended by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 (such indenture as so amended being herein referred to as the “Indenture”) each being between Chevron and the Trustee. This Note is one
of a series of Notes designated as its “2.419% Notes Due 2020” aggregating $1,250,000,000 in principal amount (herein called the “Notes”). 

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of Chevron, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the registered owner of this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. The Indenture contains provisions permitting Chevron
and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which term is defined in the Indenture as any security or securities of Chevron, authenticated and delivered under the
Indenture) at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture) and affected by such supplemental indenture, to execute one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of such Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each
Outstanding Security (including the Notes) affected thereby: (1) change the fixed maturity or redemption date of any Note, or reduce the rate of interest on any Note or the method of determining such rate of interest or extend the time of
payment of interest, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which the Notes or the interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof, (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of holders of the Outstanding Securities whose consent is required for the execution of such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the
holders of which is required for any waiver provided for in the Indenture or (3) change the time of payment. It is also provided in the Indenture that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive (a) compliance by
Chevron with the covenants contained in Article Four of the Indenture with respect to the Notes and (b) any past or existing Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences except a continuing default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the registered owner of the Note so affected. 

Prior to October 17, 2020, the Notes shall be subject to redemption, at the option of Chevron, in whole or in part, at any time at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including the portion of
any such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis, calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus interest accrued on
the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date. On or after October 17, 2020, the Notes shall be subject to redemption, at the option of Chevron, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes being redeemed plus interest accrued on the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date. The “Adjusted Treasury Rate” is to be determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date and means (1) the arithmetic
mean of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the Statistical Release (hereinafter defined) most recently published prior to the date of determination under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the
maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining term, as of the applicable redemption date, of the Notes being redeemed plus (2) 0.12%. If no maturity set forth under such heading exactly corresponds to the remaining term
of the Notes being redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed will be calculated as described in the preceding sentence, and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be
interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding each of the relevant period to the nearest month. The term “Statistical Release” means the statistical release designation “H.15(519)” or any
successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively-traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at
the time of any determination under the terms of the Notes, then such other reasonably comparable index as Chevron shall designate. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption shall be given to the registered owners of Notes to be redeemed by
mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to their addresses as they appear on the register books. 

If an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Indenture) shall occur, the principal of all Notes and the interest accrued thereon may
be declared due and payable upon the conditions, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding. 
 The Notes are issuable in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate amount of Notes of other authorized denominations as provided in the Indenture. This Note is transferable at the office of the Trustee by the registered owner hereof
in person, or by such registered owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of Chevron at said office, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Note or Notes of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. 

Chevron, the Trustee and any agent of Chevron or the Trustee and any paying agent may treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner
of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than Chevron or the Trustee) for the purpose of receiving payment hereof or on account hereof and for
all other purposes, and none of Chevron, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 THIS NOTE AND THE
OBLIGATIONS OF CHEVRON IN RESPECT HEREOF ARE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of Chevron or of any successor of Chevron, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or

payment of interest, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which the Notes or the interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof, (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of holders of the Outstanding Securities whose consent is required for the execution of such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the
holders of which is required for any waiver provided for in the Indenture or (3) change the time of payment. It is also provided in the Indenture that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive (a) compliance by
Chevron with the covenants contained in Article Four of the Indenture with respect to the Notes and (b) any past or existing Event of Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences except a continuing default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the registered owner of the Note so affected. 

Prior to August 17, 2025, the Notes shall be subject to redemption, at the option of Chevron, in whole or in part, at any time at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including the portion of
any such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis, calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus interest accrued on
the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date. On or after August 17, 2025, the Notes shall be subject to redemption, at the option of Chevron, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes being redeemed plus interest accrued on the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date. The “Adjusted Treasury Rate” is to be determined on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date and means (1) the arithmetic
mean of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the Statistical Release (hereinafter defined) most recently published prior to the date of determination under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the
maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining term, as of the applicable redemption date, of the Notes being redeemed plus (2) 0.15%. If no maturity set forth under such heading exactly corresponds to the remaining term
of the Notes being redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the remaining term of the Notes being redeemed will be calculated as described in the preceding sentence, and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be
interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding each of the relevant period to the nearest month. The term “Statistical Release” means the statistical release designation “H.15(519)” or any
successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively-traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at
the time of any determination under the terms of the Notes, then such other reasonably comparable index as Chevron shall designate. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption shall be given to the registered owners of Notes to be redeemed by
mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to their addresses as they appear on the register books. 

If an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Indenture) shall occur, the principal of all Notes and the interest accrued thereon may
be declared due and payable upon the conditions, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding. 
 The Notes are issuable in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate amount of Notes of other authorized denominations as provided in the Indenture. This Note is transferable at the office of the Trustee by the registered owner hereof
in person, or by such registered owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of Chevron at said office, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Note or Notes of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. 

Chevron, the Trustee and any agent of Chevron or the Trustee and any paying agent may treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner
of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than Chevron or the Trustee) for the purpose of receiving payment hereof or on account hereof and for
all other purposes, and none of Chevron, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 THIS NOTE AND THE
OBLIGATIONS OF CHEVRON IN RESPECT HEREOF ARE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of Chevron or of any successor of Chevron, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

 Exhibit 10.1

 
EMCORE CORPORATION
FISCAL 2016 BONUS PLAN
This EMCORE Corporation Fiscal 2016 Bonus Plan (this “Bonus Plan”) sets forth the terms of the fiscal 2016 annual incentive bonus opportunity for eligible employees of EMCORE Corporation (the “Corporation”) selected to participate in this Bonus Plan (each, a “Participant”).
		
	1.
	ADMINISTRATION

This Bonus Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of the Corporation.  The Committee shall act as the Administrator of this Bonus Plan, and shall have the authority to construe and interpret this Bonus Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Bonus Plan, and to authorize the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) or his delegates to make determinations under this Bonus Plan for Participants who are not executive officers of the Corporation.  Any powers of the Administrator pursuant to this Bonus Plan may also be exercised by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 
		
	2.
	AWARDS

Each Participant will be granted an “Award” under this Bonus Plan.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Bonus Plan, each Award granted to a Participant represents the opportunity to receive a cash payment (the “Bonus”) for the Corporation’s 2016 fiscal year (the “Performance Period”).  Each Participant will have a Target Bonus Amount for the Performance Period.  As used herein, “Target Bonus Amount” with respect to an Award means the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the annualized rate of base salary payable to the Participant as of the end of the Performance Period, by (ii) the Participant’s target bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of such annualized rate of base salary, as established by the Committee for Participants who are executive officers of the Corporation (the “Executive Officers”), or by the CEO or his delegates for Participants other than the Executive Officers (the “Other Participants”).   
		
	3.
	BONUS DETERMINATION

For the Executive Officers, (i) 80% of the Target Bonus Amount shall become payable based upon the Corporation’s performance and (ii) 20% of the Target Bonus Amount shall become payable based upon the Executive Officer’s performance, in each case as determined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3. 
For the Other Participants, their Target Bonus Amount shall become payable based upon any of (i) the Corporation’s performance, (ii) the Participant’s performance, and/or (iii) departmental performance, in such percentages as determined by the CEO or his delegates, and in each case as determined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.
(a)    Corporation Performance
The Corporation’s performance shall be measured using the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Net Income (as defined below).  If  the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Net Income achieved does not meet or exceed 80% of the target level established by the Committee for the Performance Period (the “Non-GAAP Net Income Target”), the amount of Bonus payable to a Participant with respect to the Corporation’s performance (the “Corporation Performance Bonus Amount”) will be zero.  If the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Net Income achieved meets or exceeds 80% of the Non-GAAP Net Income Target, the Corporation Performance Bonus Amount payable to a Participant will be determined by multiplying (i) the amount of the Participant’s Target Bonus Amount tied to the Corporation’s performance (which shall be 80% of the Target Bonus Amount in the case of Executive Officers) by (ii) the funding percentage as set forth in the following table: 

	
		
	Non-GAAP Net Income Achieved 
(% of Target)
	Corporation Performance Bonus Amount Funding Percentage (%)

	80%
	60%

	90%
	80%

	95%
	95%

	100%
	100%

	120%
	120%

If the Corporation’s Non-GAAP Net Income percentage achieved is between the percentage levels listed in the table above, the funding percentage shall be pro-rated on a straight-line basis between the closest two percentages listed in the table above (except that, for Non-GAAP Net Income percentages achieved between 90-95% of the Non-GAAP Net Income Target, the funding percentage shall be calculated as (i) 100% less (ii) twice the difference between 100% and the Non-GAAP Net Income percentage achieved).  The maximum funding percentage shall be 120% and no additional Corporation Performance Bonus Amount shall be paid if the Corporation achieves a Non-GAAP Net Income above 120% of the Non-GAAP Net Income Target.  
For purposes of this Bonus Plan, “Non-GAAP Net Income” means the Corporation’s net income for the Performance Period, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, adjusted to eliminate the impact of (1) discontinued operations, (2) litigation expenses associated with the pending arbitration with Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd., (3) expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Strategy Committee of the Board of Directors, including in connection with proposed acquisitions or divestitures, (4) severance and restructuring charges, and (5) stock-based compensation expense.

(b)    Individual Performance.
The Administrator, or, in the case of Other Participants, the CEO or his delegates, shall determine the individual performance goals for each Participant and shall communicate such goals to the Participant.  At the end of the Performance Period, the Administrator, or, in the case of Other Participants, the CEO or his delegates, shall evaluate, or cause to be evaluated, the individual performance of each Participant during the Performance Period and shall determine the percentage by which the Participant achieved his or her individual performance goals (the “Individual Performance Bonus Funding Percentage”).  The Individual Performance Bonus Funding Percentage may range from 0% to 120%.  The amount of Bonus payable to each Participant with respect to such Participant’s individual performance during the Performance Period (the “Individual Performance Bonus Amount”) shall be determined by multiplying (i) the amount of the Participant’s Target Bonus Amount tied to the individual’s performance (which shall be 20% of the Target Bonus Amount in the case of Executive Officers) by (ii) the Individual Performance Bonus Funding Percentage.
(c)    Departmental Performance.
The CEO or his delegates shall determine department goals for each Other Participant’s department, which may be adjusted as necessary in the discretion of the CEO or his delegate.  The amount of Bonus payable to each Other Participant with respect to his or her department’s performance during the Performance Period (the “Departmental Performance Bonus Amount”) shall be determined by multiplying (i) the amount of the Participant’s Target Bonus Amount tied to the department’s performance by (ii) the percentage by which the Participant’s department achieved its stated goals.  The Departmental Performance Bonus Amount may range from 0% to 110% of the amount of the Participant’s Target Bonus Amount tied to the department’s performance.  For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no department goals or Department Performance Bonus Amount for the Executive Officers.
(d)    Bonus Amount.
The amount of the Bonus payable to a Participant for the Performance Period shall equal the sum of (i) the Corporation Performance Bonus Amount, (ii) the Individual Performance Bonus Amount and, in the case of Other Participants, (iii) the Departmental Performance Bonus Amount..

		
	(e)
	Bonus Certification; Payment.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the Non-GAAP Net Income achieved by the Corporation for the Performance Period and the Administrator, or in the case of Other Participants, the CEO or his delegates, shall determine, or cause to be determined, the amount of each Participant’s Bonus payable pursuant to this Bonus Plan.  Any Bonuses becoming payable pursuant to this Bonus Plan shall be paid in cash to each Participant as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the Bonus pursuant to this Section 3(e), with all Bonuses to be paid no later than March 15, 2017.
		
	4.
	NEWLY-HIRED PARTICIPANTS

Any person whose employment with the Corporation begins after commencement of the Performance Period must be employed by the Corporation for a minimum of three months during the Performance Period before being eligible to be selected as a Participant in this Bonus Plan. If any Participant is selected to participate in this Bonus Plan after commencement of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall have the discretion to make appropriate pro-rata adjustments to the amount of the Participant’s Bonus based on the number of complete months the Participant was employed by the Corporation during the Performance Period. 
		
	5.
	CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT

Unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s employment agreement, severance benefits agreement, or similar agreement with the Corporation, a Participant must remain in good standing and continuously employed by the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries through the last day of the Performance Period in order for any Bonus to become payable pursuant to this Bonus Plan.  Unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s employment agreement, severance benefits agreement, or similar agreement with the Corporation, if a Participant terminates employment with the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries for any reason prior to the last day of the Performance Period, all of the Participant’s rights under this Bonus Plan will automatically terminate.
		
	6.
	RECOUPMENT OF BONUS PAYMENTS

Any Bonuses becoming payable pursuant to this Bonus Plan shall be subject to the terms of the Corporation’s recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of the Bonuses or other cash or property received with respect to the Bonuses.
		
	7.
	GENERAL PROVISIONS

		
	7.1
	Eligible Employees.  All regular, full-time and part-time employees of the Corporation shall be eligible to participate in this Bonus Plan, except employees who participate in a sales commission plan or other cash incentive plans.
