July 7,
2026
To the Managers named in Schedule I hereto
for the Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Amazon.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”),
for whom you are acting as managers (the “Managers”), the principal amount of its debt securities identified in Schedule I
hereto (the “Securities”), to be issued under the indenture specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Indenture”)
between the Company and the Trustee identified in such Schedule (the “Trustee”). If the firm or firms listed in Schedule II
hereto include only the Managers listed in Schedule I hereto, then the terms “Underwriters” and “Managers”
as used herein shall each be deemed to refer to such firm or firms.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, including a prospectus (the file number of which is set forth
in Schedule I hereto) on Form S-3, relating to securities (the “Shelf Securities”), including the Securities,
to be issued from time to time by the Company. The registration statement as amended to the date of this Agreement, including the information
(if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration
Statement,” and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated February 6, 2026 is hereinafter referred to
as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating
to the Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by
the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus,”
and the term “preliminary prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus. For purposes of this Agreement,
“free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and relating to the offering
of the Securities, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the documents set forth opposite the caption “Time of Sale
Prospectus” in Schedule I hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road
show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person.
As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic Prospectus,” “preliminary prospectus,”
“Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein
on the date hereof. The terms “supplement,” “amendment,” and “amend” as used
herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement and the
Company has not received notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration
statement.
(b) (i) Each

Prospectus complied or will comply when so filed in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder, (ii) each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became effective, did not contain, and
each such part, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a

as of the date hereof does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated

Company, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) each broadly available road
show, if any, when considered together with the Time of Sale Prospectus, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
and (vii) the Prospectus does not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, except that the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph do not apply to (A) statements

Company is not an “ineligible issuer” in connection with the offering pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities
Act. Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been,
or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under
the Securities Act or that was prepared by or on behalf of or used or referred to by the Company complies or will comply in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Except
for the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule I hereto, and electronic road shows, if any, each furnished to you before
first use, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, without your prior consent, prepare, use or refer to, any
free writing prospectus.
(d) The
Company has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has
the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and is duly
qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing
of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have
a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
(e) Each
“significant subsidiary” of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X (“Significant
Subsidiary”), has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Time of
Sale Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business

good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the issued shares of capital stock of each Significant Subsidiary of the
Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are directly or indirectly wholly-owned
by the Company, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims.
(f) This
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
(g) The
Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and constitutes
a
4
valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability.
(h) The
Securities have been duly authorized and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered
to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company,
in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
(i) The
Company is not, nor with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would it be, in violation of or in default under its Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws. The issue and sale of the Securities and the performance by the Company of all its obligations under the Securities,
the Indenture and this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, will not conflict with or
result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under, any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party
or by which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any
of its Significant Subsidiaries is subject, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or would not materially impair the Company’s
ability to perform its obligations contemplated by this Agreement, the Securities, or the Indenture, nor will any such action result in
any violation of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company or, except as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect, or would not materially impair the Company’s ability to perform its obligations contemplated by this Agreement,
the Securities, or the Indenture, any applicable law or statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency
or body having jurisdiction over the Company, its Significant Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties; and no consent, approval,
authorization, order, license, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for
the issue and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture,
except such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, licenses, registrations, or qualifications as have been obtained as of the date
hereof and as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky Laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities
by the Underwriters.
(j) There
has not occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company
5
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in
the Time of Sale Prospectus.
(k) The
Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described
in the Prospectus will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.
(l) The
financial statements, and the related notes thereto, of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus
and the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and the changes in their consolidated cash flows for the periods specified;
and said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis,
except as described in the notes to such financial statements; and the supporting schedules incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale
Prospectus and the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be stated therein; and the other financial

knowledge, present fairly, in all material respects, the information purported to be shown thereby at the respective dates or for the
respective periods to which they apply and, to the extent that such information is set forth in or has been derived from the financial
statements and accounting books and records of the Company, have been prepared, to the Company’s knowledge, in all material respects
on a basis consistent with such financial statements and the books and records of the Company.
(m) The
interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement fairly
presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and
guidelines applicable thereto.
2. Agreements
to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations
and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from
the Company the respective principal amounts of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite its name at the purchase price
set forth in Schedule I hereto.
3. Public
Offering. The Company is advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the
Securities as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is advisable. The Company
is further advised by you that the Securities are to be offered to the public upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
6
4. Payment
and Delivery. Payment for the Securities shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York
City on the closing date and time set forth in Schedule I hereto, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later
than the second business day thereafter, as may be designated in writing by you. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred
to as the “Closing Date.”
Payment for the Securities shall be made against
delivery to you on the Closing Date for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Securities registered in such names
and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date, with any transfer
taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Securities to the Underwriters duly paid.
5. Conditions
to the Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters are subject to the following conditions:
(a) Subsequent
to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date:
(i) there
shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of (A) any intended or potential downgrading or (B) any
review or possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed
by the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62)
of the Exchange Act); and
(ii) there
shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in
the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus
that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms
and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
(b) The
Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by Antonio Masone, Vice President
and Treasurer of the Company, or by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in Section 5(a)(i) above and
to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing
Date and that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied
hereunder on or before the Closing Date.
The officer signing and delivering such certificate
may rely upon the best of his or her knowledge as to proceedings threatened.
7

Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, outside counsel for the Company,
dated the Closing Date, in the form agreed between such counsel and the Managers.

Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, dated
the Closing Date with respect to such matters as the Underwriters shall request.

furnish to you, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by
reference therein) and to deliver to each of the Underwriters during the period mentioned in Section 6(e) or
6(f) below, as many copies of the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any documents
incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as you may reasonably request.
(b) During
any period when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including circumstances
where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, the Time
of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, (i) to furnish to you a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and (ii) not
to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object (except, in the case of subclause (ii), for (A) an
amendment or supplement consisting solely of the filing of a document under the Exchange Act or (B) a supplement relating to any
offering of securities other than the Securities).
(c) To
furnish to you a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company
and not to use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which you reasonably object.
(d) Not
to take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d)
8
under
the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter otherwise would not have
been required to file thereunder.
(e) If
the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to
prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time
of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur
or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement
then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus
to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and
to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale
Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to
a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with
the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(f) If,
during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Securities, as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the
Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered
in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to
amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or
in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or
if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law,
forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and
addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Securities may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other
dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented
will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of
the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with
applicable law.
(g) To
endeavor to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably
request; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in
securities in any such jurisdiction
9
where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service
of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.
(h) To
make generally available to the Company’s security holders and to you as soon as practicable an earning statement that shall satisfy
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, including
Rule 158.
(i) The
Company agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation, printing, or reproduction and
filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), each preliminary prospectus,
the Prospectus and each free writing prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction)
and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement,
each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and each free writing prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may,
in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation,
printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection
with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, and all
other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (v) the registration
of the Securities under the Exchange Act; (vi) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities
or Blue Sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating
to such registration and qualification); (vii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company representatives
in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s
accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; and (ix) all other costs
and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder. It is understood, however, that except as provided
in this Section and Section 8 and the penultimate paragraph of Section 10, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs
and expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their counsel and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.
(j) During
the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase or otherwise acquire debt securities of the Company substantially
similar to the Securities (other than (i) the Securities, (ii) commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business or
(iii) securities or warrants permitted with the prior written consent of the Managers identified in Schedule I with the authorization
to release this lock-up on behalf of the Underwriters).
10
(k) To
prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the
Securities or the offering in a form consented to by the Managers, and to file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under
the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Securities.
7. Covenants
of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company
being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter
that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
8. Indemnity
and Contribution.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning
of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or caused
by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary
prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (to the extent amended or supplemented by the Company),
any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company
has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined
in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.
(b) Each
Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act to the same extent as the
11
foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating
to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement,
any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto.
(c) In
case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b),
such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
“indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of all indemnified
persons in connection with such proceeding, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such
counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to
retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and (y) representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (z) the indemnified party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it that are different from, additional to, or in conflict with those available
to the indemnifying party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified
party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed
as they are incurred, but only after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice in respect thereof. Such firm shall be designated in writing
by the Managers authorized to appoint counsel under this Section set forth in Schedule I hereto, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 8(b), provided, however, that in either such case, counsel shall
be reasonably acceptable to the other party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that
it shall be liable for any settlement
12
of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into
more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not
have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless
such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act,
by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) To
the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is
unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering
of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above
is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of
the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts
and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth in the
Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations
to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective
principal amounts of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The
Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method
of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
13
considerations referred to in Section 8(d).
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8,
no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten
by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8
are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations,
warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling
any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling
the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
9. Termination.
The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be,
the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended
on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment, or clearance services in the United
States shall have occurred, (iv) any general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New
York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets
or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified
in this Section 9, makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed
with the offer, sale, or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the
Prospectus.
10. Effectiveness;
Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
14
If, on the Closing
Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase
hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such
date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite
their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such
non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter
or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of
the Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10
by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of the Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on
the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be
purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36
hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company.
In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days,
in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any
other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from
liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters,
or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions
of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement the Company will reimburse
the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement
or the offering contemplated hereunder.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L, 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies their clients, which may include the names and addresses of their clients, as well as other information
that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their clients.
11. Entire
Agreement.
(a) This
Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this
Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire
15
agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with
respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and
the purchase and sale of the Securities.
(b) The
Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are
not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those
duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any,
and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted
by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with
the offering of the Securities.
12. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall
constitute one instrument. Delivery of this Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile, electronic mail (including any
electronic signature complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended
from time to time, or other applicable law) or other transmission method, and the parties hereto agree that any counterpart so delivered
shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
13. Successors.
This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors,
employees, affiliates and agents, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this
Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Securities from the Underwriters shall be deemed
to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.
14. Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
15. Headings.
The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of
this Agreement.
16. Notices.
All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed
or sent to you at the addresses set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address
set forth in Schedule I hereto.
16
17. Recognition

(a) In
the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer
from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent
as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were
governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In
the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under
a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to
be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

or understanding between the Underwriters and the Company, the Company acknowledges and accepts that a UK Bail-in Liability arising under
this Agreement may be subject to the exercise of UK Bail-in Powers by the relevant UK resolution authority, and acknowledges, accepts,
and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the

(ii) the

other person, to provide that any such contract or instrument is to have effect as if a right had been exercised under it to suspend any

Maturity, and the 2056 Stated Maturity, the “Stated Maturities”).
(d) The Floating Rate Notes shall bear interest
at a floating rate equal to Compounded SOFR (as defined in the form of Floating Rate Note
attached hereto as Exhibit A), reset quarterly, plus 0.58% per annum. The 2029 Notes
shall bear interest at the rate of 4.600% per annum, the 2031 Notes shall bear interest at
the rate of 4.800% per annum, the 2033 Notes shall
2
bear interest at the rate of 5.100%
per annum, the 2036 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.300% per annum, the 2046 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6.000%
per annum, the 2056 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6.100% per annum, and the 2066 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of
6.250% per annum.
Interest on the Notes issued on the
date hereof shall accrue from July 9, 2026. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears each January 9,
April 9, July 9, and October 9 (each, a “Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date”), beginning on
October 9, 2026 to the holders of record as of the close of business on each December 25, March 25, June 24, and
September 24, as the case may be, next preceding the relevant Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date, except that the Company
will pay interest at the applicable Floating Rate Notes Stated Maturity to the person or persons to whom principal is payable. The amount
of interest accrued and payable on the Floating Rate Notes for each Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date shall be equal to the product
of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes multiplied by (ii) the product of (a) the interest
rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period (as defined in the form of Floating Rate Note attached hereto as Exhibit A)
multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in such Floating Rate Interest Period divided by 360. In no
event shall the interest on the Floating Rate Notes be less than zero.
If any Floating Rate Notes Interest
Payment Date (other than the Floating Rate Notes Stated Maturity) falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable Floating
Rate Notes Interest Payment Date (other than the Floating Rate Notes Stated Maturity) shall be the next succeeding Business Day unless
that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the applicable Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date (other
than the Floating Rate Notes Stated Maturity) shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Floating Rate Notes Stated Maturity
or earlier date of redemption of the Floating Rate Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business
Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due and no additional interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period
from and after such Stated Maturity or such date of redemption, as the case may be.
Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes shall
be payable semi-annually in arrears each January 9 and July 9 (together with the Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date,
each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on January 9, 2027 to the holders of record as of the close of business
on each December 25 and June 24, as the case may be, next preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date of such series of Notes,
except that the Company will pay interest at the applicable Stated Maturity of the Fixed Rate Notes to the person or persons to whom
principal is payable. Interest on the Notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
3
If any date on which interest is payable
on the Fixed Rate Notes (other than the applicable Stated Maturity or any earlier date of redemption) is not a Business Day, the payment
of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next day that is a Business Day, without any interest or other payment in respect
of the delay, with the same force and effect as if made on the scheduled payment date. If any Stated Maturity or earlier date of redemption
of the on the Fixed Rate Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made
on the date the payment was due and no additional interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Stated
Maturity or such date of redemption, as the case may be.
(e) The place or places where the principal
of and interest on the Notes shall be payable, where they may be surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company may be served
in respect of the Notes and the Indenture shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
or at any other place as the Company may designate.
(f) Each series of the Fixed Rate Notes may
be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to the applicable Par
Call Date as defined herein at the Company’s option (the date of such redemption, the “Make-Whole
Redemption Date”), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal
amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (i) (A) the
sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming such Fixed Rate Notes matured on the
applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 10.0 basis points in the case
of the 2029 Notes, plus 10.0 basis points in the case of the 2031 Notes, plus 15.0 basis
points in the case of the 2033 Notes, plus 15.0 basis points in the case of the 2036 Notes,
plus 15.0 basis points in the case of the 2046 Notes, plus 20.0 basis points in the case
of the 2056 Notes, and plus 20.0 basis points in the case of the 2066 Notes, less (B) interest
accrued and unpaid thereon to, but not including, the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date,
and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes of the applicable series
to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but
not including, the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date.
On or after the applicable Par Call
Date, the Company may redeem each series of the Fixed Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not
including, the date of redemption (such date, and any Make-Whole Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”). The Company
shall be responsible for calculating the applicable redemption price.
4
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments
of interest on Fixed Rate 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 Fixed
Rate Notes and the Indenture.
If money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest on the series of Fixed Rate Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited
with the Trustee or the Paying Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date and certain other conditions
are satisfied, then on and after the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, interest will cease to accrue on such
Fixed Rate Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Fixed Rate Notes will cease to be outstanding. If any Redemption
Date is not a Business Day, the Company will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment
due to the delay.
If fewer than all of the Fixed Rate
Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Fixed Rate Notes of such series to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by
such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Fixed Rate Notes are held in the
form of Global Securities, the redemption of the Fixed Rate Notes shall be in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures
unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange. Fixed Rate Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed
in part. If any Fixed Rate Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Fixed Rate Note will state
the portion of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Fixed Rate Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Fixed Rate Note upon surrender for cancellation of the
original Fixed Rate Note.
Notice of any redemption shall be electronically
delivered or mailed in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the
formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice
is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated
as set forth in this Officers’ Certificate, shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the
Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture,
the Fixed Rate Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price.
5
Notice of any redemption of the Fixed
Rate Notes of a series in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion
or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent,
including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event. At the Company’s discretion, the Redemption
Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice
may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption
Date as so delayed. The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to
the Redemption Date if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each
Holder of the Fixed Rate Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
“Par Call Date”
means, in the case of the 2029 Notes, June 9, 2029 (the date that is one month prior to the 2029 Stated Maturity), in the case of
the 2031 Notes, June 9, 2031 (the date that is one month prior to the 2031 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2033 Notes, May 9,
2033 (the date that is two months prior to the 2033 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2036 Notes, April 9, 2036 (the date that
is three months prior to the 2036 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2046 Notes, January 9, 2046 (the date that is six months
prior to the 2046 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2056 Notes, January 9, 2056 (the date that is six months prior to the 2056
Stated Maturity), and, in the case of the 2066 Notes, January 9, 2066 (the date that is six months prior to the 2066 Stated Maturity).
“Treasury Rate”
means, with respect to any Make-Whole Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined
by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date based
upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor
designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal”
(or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as
applicable: (i) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the applicable Make-Whole
Redemption Date to the applicable Par Call Date (the “Remaining
6
Life”); or (ii) if
there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding
to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15
immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using
the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (iii) if there is no such Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15
closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall
be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity
from the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date.
If on the third Business Day preceding
the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the
rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding
such Make-Whole Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable
Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two
or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity
date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, the Company shall select
the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States
Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of
the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury
security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities
at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield
to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed
as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three
decimal places.
The Company’s actions and determinations
in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(g) The Floating Rate Notes shall not be redeemable prior to the Floating
Rate Notes Stated Maturity.
7
(h) The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations
of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(i) There is no sinking fund for the Notes.
(j) The Notes shall be issued in the form of
one or more Global Securities.
(k) The Depositary shall be The Depository Trust
Company.
(l) The amount of payments of principal or interest
shall not be determined with reference to an index, formula, or other similar method.
(m) The provisions of Section 8.1 of the
Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.
(n) The Notes shall be Unrestricted Securities
and shall be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(o) The principal of and interest on the Notes
shall be payable only in Dollars.
(p) The Notes shall not be convertible into
common stock of the Company.
(q) The terms of the Floating Rate Notes, the
2029 Notes, the 2031 Notes, the 2033 Notes, the 2036 Notes, the 2046 Notes, the 2056 Notes,
and the 2066 Notes shall include such other terms as set forth in the form of Floating Rate
Note, form of 2029 Note, form of 2031 Note, form of 2033 Note, form of 2036 Note, form of
2046 Note, form of 2056 Note, and form of 2066 Note, respectively, attached hereto as Exhibits
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)
AMAZON.COM, INC.
Floating Rate Notes due 2029
1. Interest.
Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Issuer”)
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a floating rate equal to Compounded SOFR, reset quarterly, plus 0.58%
per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed during the period. Cash interest on the Notes
will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date; or, if no interest has been paid, from July 9, 2026. The Issuer
will pay interest on the Notes quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on October 9, 2026, subject to adjustment
as provided below if any such date is not a Business Day, and at the Stated Maturity, to the record holders at the close of business
on the preceding Regular Record Date of the applicable Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day).
The interest rate for any Floating Rate
Interest Period (as defined herein) shall be Compounded SOFR as determined on the applicable Floating Rate Interest Determination Date
(as defined herein), plus 0.58% per annum. On each Floating Rate Interest Determination Date relating to the applicable Interest Payment
Date, the calculation agent for the Notes (the “Calculation Agent”) will calculate the amount of accrued interest
payable on the Notes by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest
rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in such
Floating Rate Interest Period divided by 360. In no event shall the interest on the Notes be less than zero.
If any Interest Payment Date (other
than the Stated Maturity) falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable Interest Payment Date (other than the Stated Maturity)
shall be the next succeeding Business Day unless that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the applicable
Interest Payment Date (other than the Stated Maturity) shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If any such Interest Payment
Date (other than the Stated Maturity) is postponed or brought forward as described above, the interest amount shall be adjusted accordingly
to the number of days in the applicable period and the Holder shall be entitled to more or less interest, respectively. If the Stated
Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amounts so payable for
the period from and after such date to the next succeeding Business Day.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue
principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, on overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by this Note and
at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates
such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment.
“Compounded SOFR” with respect
to any Floating Rate Interest Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following formula (and the resulting
percentage shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point):
where:
“SOFR IndexStart”
is the SOFR Index value for the day which is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days (as defined herein) preceding the first date
of the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period;
- 5 -
“SOFR IndexEnd”
is the SOFR Index value for the day which is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date
relating to such Floating Rate Interest Period (or in the final Floating Rate Interest Period, preceding the Stated Maturity); and
“dc” is the number
of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period (as defined herein).
For purposes of determining Compounded
SOFR,
“Benchmark” means, initially,
Compounded SOFR, as such term is defined above; provided that if the Issuer or its designee (which may be the Calculation Agent only
if the Calculation Agent consents to such appointment, a successor calculation agent, an independent financial advisor, or any other
designee of the Issuer) determines on or prior to the Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR (or the published daily SOFR or SOFR Index used in the calculation thereof) or the
then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.
“Benchmark Replacement”
means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement
Date:
(i) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected
or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current
Benchmark and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(ii) the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment; or
(iii) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been
selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark
giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the
then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”
means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement
Date:
(i) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or
zero), or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, that has been selected
or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark
Replacement;
(ii) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to
the ISDA Fallback Rate, the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or
(iii) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or
zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any
industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread
adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar- denominated floating rate notes at such time.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative, or operational changes (including changes
to the definition of Floating Rate Interest Period, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the
rounding of amounts or tenors, and other technical, administrative, or operational matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may
be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if
the Issuer or its designee
- 6 -
decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice
is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement
exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably practicable).
“Benchmark Replacement Date”
means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including any daily published component
used in the calculation thereof):
(i) in the case of clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of “Benchmark
Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication
of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the
Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark (or such component);
or
(ii) in the case of clause (iii) of the definition of “Benchmark
Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced
therein.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the event
giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination,
the Benchmark Replacement Date shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.
“Benchmark Transition Event”
means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including any daily published
component used in the calculation thereof):
(i) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of
the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) announcing that such administrator
has ceased or shall cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component), permanently or indefinitely,
provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator
that shall continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component);
(ii) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory
supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component), the central bank for
the currency of the Benchmark (or such component), an insolvency official with jurisdiction
over the administrator for the Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with
jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark (or such component), or a court or
an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the
Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of the Benchmark (or such
component) has ceased or shall cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component), permanently
or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no
successor administrator that shall continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component);
or
(iii) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory
supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer
representative.
“Floating Rate Interest Determination
Date” means the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding each Interest Payment Date (or in the final Floating
Rate Interest Period, preceding the Stated Maturity).
“Floating Rate Interest Period”
means (i) the period from and including any Interest Payment Date (or, with respect to the initial Interest Payment Date only, from
and including July 9, 2026) to, but not including, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (ii) in the case of the last
such period, from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity to, but not including, such Stated
Maturity.
- 7 -
“ISDA Definitions” means
the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended
or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.
“ISDA Fallback Adjustment”
means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing
the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark.
“ISDA Fallback Rate” means
the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index
cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.
“Observation Period” means,

a successor calculation agent, an independent financial advisor, or any other designee of the Issuer) determines on or prior to the relevant

determinations on all subsequent dates. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer (or the Issuer’s
designee) shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.
Any determination, decision, or election
that may be made by the Issuer (or its designee) pursuant to the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, including
any determination with respect to a tenor, rate, or adjustment, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance, or

connection with the foregoing, each of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely
on any determinations made by the Issuer or its designee without independent investigation, and none shall have any liability for actions
taken at the Issuer’s direction in connection therewith.
Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation
Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure, or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Note as a result

due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning
on January 9, 2027, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding Regular Record

that is a Business Day, without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay, with the same force and effect as if made on the
scheduled Interest Payment Date. If the Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment
was due, and no additional interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Stated Maturity or other payment date,
as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue
principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made
available for payment.

Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the
greater of:
(i) (a) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming the

Rate (as defined in the Officers’ Certificate) plus 10.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to, but

Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”).
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 Regular Record Date according to the Notes
and the Indenture.
If any Redemption Date is not a Business
Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment due to the delay.

On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be
- 6 -
redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are

deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in
accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of
$2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part.

Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior
to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become
due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price.
Notice of any redemption of the Notes
in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence
thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but
not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may
be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be

as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption
Date if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the
Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or

AMAZON.COM, INC.
4.800% Notes due 2031
1. Interest.
Amazon.com, Inc. (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 July 9, 2026. Interest
on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become
due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning
on January 9, 2027, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding Regular Record
Date. If any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next day
that is a Business Day, without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay, with the same force and effect as if made on the
scheduled Interest Payment Date. If the Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment
was due, and no additional interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Stated Maturity or other payment date,
as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue
principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made
available for payment.
2. Paying
Agent.
Initially, Computershare Trust Company,
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 4.800% Notes
due 2031 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of November 29, 2012 by and between the Issuer and
the Trustee, as successor trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture
No. 1 dated as of April 13, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture,
the “Indenture”), and the Officers’ Certificate dated as of July 9, 2026 establishing the terms of
the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Officers’ Certificate”). 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, as amended (15 U.S.C. §§77aaa-77bbbb)
(the “TIA”), as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
4. Denominations;
Transfer; Exchange.
The Notes are in registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Where the Notes are presented to the Registrar
or a co-registrar with
- 5 -
a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for
an equal principal amount of Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions
set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to
issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding
the delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery,
or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion
being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part.
5. Amendment;
Modification; Waiver.
The Indenture and the Notes may be amended
or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes may waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however,
waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes.
Any amendment, supplement or waiver
to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to the Notes only, and not any other series of
Securities.
6. Optional
Redemption.
The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole
at any time or in part from time to time prior to June 9, 2031 (the date of such redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption
Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the
greater of:
(i) (a) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming the
Notes matured on June 9, 2031) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate (as defined in the Officers’ Certificate) plus 10.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to, but
not including, the Make-Whole Redemption Date; or
(ii) 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Make-Whole
Redemption Date.
On or after June 9, 2031, the Issuer
may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of redemption (such date, and any Make-Whole
Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”).
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 Regular Record Date according to the Notes
and the Indenture.
If any Redemption Date is not a Business
Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment due to the delay.
On or after any Redemption Date, unless
the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be
- 6 -
redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are
to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion
deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in
accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of
$2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part.
The Company’s actions and determinations
in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption shall be electronically
delivered or mailed in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the formula pursuant
to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the
redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers’
Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior
to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become
due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price.
Notice of any redemption of the Notes
in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence
thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but
not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may
be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date
as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption
Date if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the
Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
7. Defaults
and Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture
occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable
without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
The Indenture permits, subject to certain
limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with
respect to the Notes.

5.300% Notes due 2036
1. Interest.
Amazon.com, Inc. (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 July 9, 2026. Interest
on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become
due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning
on January 9, 2027, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding Regular Record
Date. If any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next day
that is a Business Day, without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay, with the same force and effect as if made on the
scheduled Interest Payment Date. If the Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment
was due, and no additional interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Stated Maturity or other payment date,
as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue
principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made
available for payment.
2. Paying

Initially, Computershare Trust Company,
National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice
to the Holders.

the Trustee, as successor trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture
No. 1 dated as of April 13, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture,
the “Indenture”), and the Officers’ Certificate dated as of July 9, 2026 establishing the terms of
the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Officers’ Certificate”). 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, as amended (15 U.S.C. §§77aaa-77bbbb)
(the “TIA”), as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
4. Denominations;
Transfer; Exchange.
The Notes are in registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Where the Notes are presented to the Registrar
or a co-registrar with
- 5 -
a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for
an equal principal amount of Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions
set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to
issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding
the delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery,
or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion
being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part.
5. Amendment;
Modification; Waiver.
The Indenture and the Notes may be amended
or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes may waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however,
waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes.
Any amendment, supplement or waiver
to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to the Notes only, and not any other series of
Securities.
6. Optional
Redemption.
The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole
at any time or in part from time to time prior to April 9, 2036 (the date of such redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption
Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the
greater of:
(i) (a) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming the
Notes matured on April 9, 2036) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate (as defined in the Officers’ Certificate) plus 15.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to, but
not including, the Make-Whole Redemption Date; or
(ii) 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Make-Whole
Redemption Date.
On or after April 9, 2036, the
Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of redemption (such date, and any
Make-Whole Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”).
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 Regular Record Date according to the Notes
and the Indenture.
If any Redemption Date is not a Business
Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment due to the delay.
On or after any Redemption Date, unless
the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be
- 6 -
redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are
to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion
deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in
accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of
$2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part.
The Company’s actions and determinations
in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption shall be electronically
delivered or mailed in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the formula pursuant
to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the
redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers’
Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior
to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become
due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price.
Notice of any redemption of the Notes
in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence
thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but
not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may
be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date
as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption
Date if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the
Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
7. Defaults
and Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture
occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable
without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
The Indenture permits, subject to certain
limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with
respect to the Notes.

6.100% Notes due 2056
1. Interest.
Amazon.com, Inc. (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 July 9, 2026. Interest
on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become
due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning
on January 9, 2027, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding Regular Record
Date. If any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next day
that is a Business Day, without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay, with the same force and effect as if made on the
scheduled Interest Payment Date. If the Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that such payment
was due, and no additional interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Stated Maturity or other payment date,
as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue
principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same rate on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made
available for payment.
2. Paying

Initially, Computershare Trust Company,
National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice
to the Holders.

Defined Terms.
This Note is one of the 6.100% Notes

the Trustee, as successor trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture
No. 1 dated as of April 13, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture,
the “Indenture”), and the Officers’ Certificate dated as of July 9, 2026 establishing the terms of
the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Officers’ Certificate”). 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, as amended (15 U.S.C. §§77aaa-77bbbb)
(the “TIA”), as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
4. Denominations;
Transfer; Exchange.
The Notes are in registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Where the Notes are presented to the Registrar
or a co-registrar with
- 5 -
a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for
an equal principal amount of Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions
set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to
issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding
the delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery,
or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion
being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part.
5. Amendment;
Modification; Waiver.
The Indenture and the Notes may be amended
or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes may waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however,
waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes.
Any amendment, supplement or waiver
to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to the Notes only, and not any other series of
Securities.
6. Optional
Redemption.
The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole
at any time or in part from time to time prior to January 9, 2056 (the date of such redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption
Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the
greater of:
(i) (a) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming the
Notes matured on January 9, 2056) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate (as defined in the Officers’ Certificate) plus 20.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to, but
not including, the Make-Whole Redemption Date; or
(ii) 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Make-Whole
Redemption Date.
On or after January 9, 2056, the
Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of redemption (such date, and any
Make-Whole Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”).
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 Regular Record Date according to the Notes
and the Indenture.
If any Redemption Date is not a Business
Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment due to the delay.
On or after any Redemption Date, unless
the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay
the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be
- 6 -
redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are
to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion
deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in
accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of
$2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part.
The Company’s actions and determinations
in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption shall be electronically
delivered or mailed in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the formula pursuant
to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the
redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers’
Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior
to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become
due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price.
Notice of any redemption of the Notes
in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence
thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but
not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may
be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date
as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption
Date if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the
Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
7. Defaults
and Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture
occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable
without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
The Indenture permits, subject to certain
limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with

Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-293246)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Amazon.com, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-3, file no. 333-293246 (the “Registration
Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the prospectus included
therein, the prospectus supplement dated July 7, 2026, filed with the Commission on July 8, 2026 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities
Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”), and the offering by the Company pursuant thereto of $25,000,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Company’s floating rate notes due 2029, 4.600% notes due 2029, 4.800% notes due 2031, 5.100% notes due 2033,
5.300% notes due 2036, 6.000% notes due 2046, 6.100% notes due 2056, and 6.250% notes due 2066 (collectively, the “Notes”).
The Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture
dated as of November 29, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as trustee (the “Prior Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1 dated as of April
13, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among
the Company, the Prior Trustee, as prior trustee, and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee, and the
Officers’ Certificate of the Company dated as of July 9, 2026 establishing the terms of each series of Notes pursuant to Section
2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Officers’ Certificate”).
In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we
have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals,
of the Indenture, Officers’ Certificate, and the Notes and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of
the Company and of public officials, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions.
In our examination, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency
of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as copies.

As to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon
statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions,
exceptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Notes are legal, valid, and binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
The opinions expressed above are subject to the
following additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations, and assumptions:
A. We
render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. This opinion is limited
to the effect of the current state of the laws of the State of New York and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation
to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts.
B. The
opinion above is subject to (i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, or similar laws
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other laws regarding
fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers, and (ii) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of
materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief,
or other equitable remedies regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
C. We
express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of (i) any waiver of stay, extension, or usury laws, (ii) provisions relating
to indemnification, exculpation, or contribution, to the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to public policy
or federal or state securities laws or due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party, (iii) any provision
waiving the right to object to venue in any court, (iv) any agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of any Federal court, (v) any
waiver of the right to jury trial, or (vi) any provision to the effect that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised
in addition to any other right or remedy or that the election of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name under the caption “Validity of the Securities”
in the Registration

regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
