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 “RegistrationStatement,” 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.

7. Covenantsof 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. Indemnityand 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. EntireAgreement.
(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.

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. ApplicableLaw. 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.

Interest on the Floating Rate Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears each March 13, June 13, September 13, and December 13 (the “Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date”), beginning on June 13, 2026 to the holders of record as of the close of business on each February 26, May 29, August 29, and November 28, 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 applicable series of 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 2028 Floating Rate Note attached hereto as Exhibit A or the form of 2029 Floating Rate Note attached hereto as Exhibit B, as the case may be) 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 of either series be less than zero.
3
If any Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date (other than the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable Floating Rate Notes Stated Maturity) shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears each March 13 and September 13 (together with the Floating Rate Notes Interest Payment Date, each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on September 13, 2026 to the holders of record as of the close of business on each February 26 and August 29, 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.
If any day on which interest is payable on the Fixed Rate Notes is not a Business Day, the payment of the interest payable on that date will be made on the next date 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.
| (f) | The place or places where the principal<br> of and interest on the Notes shall be payable, where they may be surrendered for registration<br> of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company may be served<br> in respect of the Notes and the Indenture shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,<br> or at any other place as the Company may designate. |
|---|---|
| (g) | Each<br> series of the Fixed Rate Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time<br> to time prior to the applicable Par Call Date (as defined herein) at the Company’s<br> option (the date of such redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”),<br> at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three<br> decimal places) equal to the greater of: (i) (A) the sum of the present values<br> of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Make-Whole<br> Redemption Date (assuming such Fixed Rate Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date)<br> on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the<br> Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 5.0 basis points in the case of the 2028 Notes, plus<br> 10.0 basis points in the case of the 2029 Notes, plus 10.0 basis points in the case of the<br> 2031 Notes, plus 10.0 basis points in the case of the 2033 Notes, plus 15.0 basis points<br> in the case of the 2036 Notes, plus 15.0 basis points in the case of the 2046 Notes, plus<br> 20.0 basis points in the case of the 2056 Notes, plus 20.0 |
| --- | --- |
4
basis points in the case of the 2066 Notes, and plus 20.0 basis points in the case of the 2076 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 to, but not including, the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date.
On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company may redeem any series of the Fixed Rate Notes (other than the 2028 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.
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 Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date, then on and after the Redemption Date, 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.
5
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.
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, February 13, 2029 (the date that is one month prior to the 2029 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2031 Notes, February 13, 2031 (the date that is one month prior to the 2031 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2033 Notes, January 13, 2033 (the date that is two months prior to the 2033 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2036 Notes, December 13, 2035 (the date that is three months prior to the 2036 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2046 Notes, September 13, 2045 (the date that is six months prior to the 2046 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2056 Notes, September 13, 2055 (the date that is six months prior to the 2056 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2066 Notes, September 13, 2065 (the date that is six months prior to the 2066 Stated Maturity), and in the case of the 2076 Notes, September 13, 2075 (the date that is six months prior to the 2076 Stated Maturity).
6
“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 (or in the case of the 2028 Notes, the 2028 Stated Maturity) (the “Remaining 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 (or in the case of the 2028 Notes, the 2028 Stated Maturity) 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 (or the 2028 Stated Maturity in the case of the 2028 Notes), as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date (or the 2028 Stated Maturity in the case of the 2028 Notes) but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date (or the 2028 Stated Maturity in the case of the 2028
7
Notes), one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date (or the 2028 Stated Maturity in the case of the 2028 Notes) and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date (or the 2028 Stated Maturity in the case of the 2028 Notes), the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date (or the 2028 Stated Maturity in the case of the 2028 Notes). If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date (or the 2028 Stated Maturity in the case of the 2028 Notes) 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.
The Floating Rate Notes shall not be redeemable prior to the Floating Rate Notes Stated Maturity.
| (h) | The<br> Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000<br> in excess thereof. |
|---|---|
| (i) | The Notes shall be issued in the form of<br> one or more Global Securities. |
| --- | --- |
| (j) | The<br> Depositary shall be The Depository Trust Company. |
| --- | --- |
| (k) | The amount of payments of principal or interest<br> shall not be determined with reference to an index, formula, or other similar method. |
| --- | --- |
| (l) | The provisions of Section 8.1 of the<br> Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes. |
| --- | --- |
| (m) | The<br> Notes shall be Unrestricted Securities and shall be registered with the Securities and Exchange<br> Commission pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act<br> of 1933, as amended. |
| --- | --- |
| (n) | The principal of and interest on the Notes<br> shall be payable only in Dollars. |
| --- | --- |
| (o) | The<br> Notes shall not be convertible into common stock of the Company. |
| --- | --- |
| (p) | The<br> terms of the 2028 Floating Rate Notes, the 2029 Floating Rate Notes, the 2028 Notes, the<br> 2029 Notes, the 2031 Notes, the 2033 Notes, the 2036 |

7. This Officers’ Certificate and any other documents delivered in connection with this transaction shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law; (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a scanned manual signature.

The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on June 13, 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 0.44% 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:

| --- | --- |
“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:

|---|---|
| (ii) | if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to<br> the ISDA Fallback Rate, the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or |
| --- | --- |
| (iii) | the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or<br> zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any<br> industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread<br> adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted<br> 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):

|---|---|
| (ii) | in the case of clause (iii) of the definition of “Benchmark<br> Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced<br> 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<br> the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) announcing that such administrator<br> has ceased or shall cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component), permanently or indefinitely,<br> provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator<br> that shall continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component); |

| --- | --- |
| (iii) | a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory<br> supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer<br> representative. |

(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 0.59% 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 March 13, 2026. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on June 13, 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 0.59% 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<br> or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current<br> Benchmark and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; |
|---|---|

4.000% Notes due 2029
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 March 13, 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 September 13, 2026. If any Interest Payment Date, 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 interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, 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 4.000% Notes due 2029 (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 March 13, 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 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
| - 5 - |
| --- |
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 February 13, 2029 (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 February 13, 2029) 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 to, but not including, the Make-Whole Redemption Date.
On or after February 13, 2029, 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.

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.

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 March 13, 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 September 13, 2026. If any Interest Payment Date, 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 interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, 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 4.550% Notes due 2033 (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 March 13, 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 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.

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 13, 2033 (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 13, 2033) 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

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 redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes
| - 6 - |

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.

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.

5.650% Notes due 2046
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 March 13, 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 September 13, 2026. If any Interest Payment Date, 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 interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, 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 5.650% Notes due 2046 (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 March 13, 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 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
- 5 -
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.

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 September 13, 2045 (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 September 13, 2045) 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

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.

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.

5.950% Notes due 2066
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 March 13, 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 September 13, 2026. If any Interest Payment Date, 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 interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, 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 5.950% Notes due 2066 (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 March 13, 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 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
- 5 -
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 September 13, 2065 (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 September 13, 2065) 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 to, but not including, the Make-Whole Redemption Date.
On or after September 13, 2065, 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.
