4.85% Global Notes due 2014
AT&T Inc., a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware (herein called “AT&T”, which term
includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede
& Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of Five Hundred
Million Dollars ($500,000,000) on February 15, 2014 (the
“Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on said principal
sum from February 3, 2009 or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 in
each year, commencing on August 15, 2009 (each an
“Interest Payment Date”) and on the Maturity Date, at
the interest rate of 4.85% per annum, until the principal hereof is
paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as
provided in
such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or
one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall
be the close of business on February 1 or August 1, as
the case may be (each, a “Regular Record Date”), next
preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be
paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to
be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders
of Notes not less than 15 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said
Indenture.
Any money that
AT&T deposits with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the
payment of principal or any interest on this Note that remains
unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the principal and
interest are due and payable, will be repaid to AT&T upon
AT&T’s request unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of any applicable unclaimed property law. After that
time, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of any
unclaimed property law, the Holder of this Note will be able to
seek any payment to which such Holder may be entitled to collect
only from AT&T.
If the Notes are
issued in definitive form, payment of the principal and interest on
this Note due at the Maturity Date or upon redemption will be made
at the Maturity Date or upon redemption, as the case may be, upon
presentation of this Note, in immediately available funds, at the
office of The Bank of New York Mellon, the Paying and Transfer
Agent and Registrar for the Notes, currently located at 101 Barclay
Street, New York, New York 10286.
Payment of
interest on this Note due on an Interest Payment Date, other than
interest at maturity or upon redemption, may be paid by check
mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Note register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (1) the Depository as Holder of the Notes or
(2) a Holder of more than U.S.$5,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Notes in definitive form is entitled to require
the Paying Agent to make payments of interest, other than interest
due at maturity or upon redemption, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds into an account maintained by the Holder in the
United States, by sending appropriate wire transfer instructions as
long as the Paying Agent receives the instructions not less than
ten days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.
Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this
Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one
of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of AT&T of the
series specified on the face hereof, issued under and pursuant to
an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1994, between AT&T
and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee
under the Indenture), to which indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”)
reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Trustee, AT&T and the Holders of the Notes
and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. The Notes will be issued in fully
registered form only and in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000.
The Indenture
permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of
AT&T and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the
Indenture at any time by AT&T and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at
the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Notes at the time outstanding to waive compliance by
AT&T with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Note.
No reference
herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of AT&T, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest
on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.
Registrar and
Paying Agent
AT&T shall
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an
office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or
agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange
(“Paying Agent”). AT&T has initially appointed the
Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, as its Registrar and Paying
Agent. AT&T may vary or terminate the appointment of any of its
paying or transfer agencies, and may appoint additional paying or
transfer agencies.
Optional
Redemption by AT&T
The Notes will be
redeemable, as a whole or in part, at AT&T’s option, at
any time on at least 30 days’, but not
