Reverse of Security

HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 9, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2017 (the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially in aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000,000.

The Company may redeem the Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but no more than 45 days’ prior written notice sent to the registered Holders of the Securities to be redeemed.

If the Company elects to redeem the Securities, the Company will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; and

(ii) the sum, as determined by the Company based on the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, of the present value of the of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to the maturity date, (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 12.5 basis points,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Securities 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 Securities are to be redeemed at any time, not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Securities not previously called shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC or by lot. No Securities of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part.

In the case of any redemption, the Security Registrar will not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Security:

(i) during a period beginning 15 days before the day of sending of the relevant notice of redemption and ending on the close of business on that day of sending; or

(ii) if the Company has called the Security for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

- 11 -

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker, in accordance with customary financial practice, as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Securities to be redeemed.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to: (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the Securities to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

The Indenture contains provisions, which will apply to the Securities, for defeasance and covenant defeasance and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company 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 Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration or transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

- 12 -

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event.
