[REVERSE OF NOTE]

ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC.

Floating Rate Notes due 2016

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its Floating Rate Notes due December 15, 2016 (Securities of such series being hereinafter called the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000, issued under an Indenture dated as of November 1, 2001, as supplemented as of December 4, 2006 (hereinafter called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (hereinafter called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Securities of this series), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and any Holder of the Securities, and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

     Except as set forth below, this Security will be issued in global form only registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Except as set forth below, this Security will not be issued in definitive form and ownership of this Security shall be maintained in book-entry form by the Depositary for the accounts of participating organizations of the Depositary.

     The Depositary for the Securities shall initially be The Depositary Trust Company. If the Depositary is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depositary for the Securities and the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days, the Company will issue Securities in definitive form to participants of the Depositary in exchange for the Global Security representing the Securities. In addition, the Company may, at any time and in its sole discretion, determine not to have any Securities represented in global form. In that event, the Company will issue Securities in definitive form to participants of the Depositary in exchange for the Global Security.

     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 interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed.

     This Security is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provision.

R-1

     Interest on the Securities will be payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (whether or not a New York Business Day (as defined below)). If any Interest Payment Date (other than the Stated Maturity or any earlier repayment date) falls on a day that is not a New York Business Day, the payment of interest that would otherwise be payable on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding New York Business Day, except that if such New York Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the applicable interest payment date will be the immediately preceding New York Business Day. If the Stated Maturity or any earlier repayment date of the Securities falls on a day that is not a New York Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, otherwise payable on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding New York Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after the Stated Maturity or earlier repayment date, as applicable.

     “New York Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are required or permitted by law, regulation or executive order to be closed in New York City.

     The interest rate will be reset quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (each an “Interest Reset Date”). However, if any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a New York Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be the next succeeding day that is a New York Business Day, except that if the next succeeding New York Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the applicable Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding New York Business Day.

     The initial interest period will be the period from and including December 16, 2013 to but excluding the first Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect during the initial interest period will be equal to LIBOR plus 35 basis points, determined two London Business Days (as defined below) prior to December 16, 2013.

     “London Business Day” means a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

     After the initial interest period, the interest periods will be the periods from and including an Interest Reset Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Reset Date (together with the initial interest period, each an “Interest Period”), except that the final Interest Period will be the period from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity to but excluding the Stated Maturity. The interest rate per annum for the Securities in any Interest Period will be equal to LIBOR (as defined below) plus 35 basis points, as determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below). The interest rate in effect for the 15 calendar days prior to any repayment date earlier than the Stated Maturity will be the interest rate in effect on the fifteenth day preceding such earlier repayment date.

R-2

     The interest rate on the Securities will be limited to the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

     The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., or its successor appointed by the Company will act as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”). The Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR for each Interest Period on the second London Business Day prior to the first day of such Interest Period (an “Interest Determination Date”). Upon the request of any Holder of the Securities, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.

     LIBOR, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, will be the offered rate for deposits of U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months that appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR 01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If on an Interest Determination Date, such rate does not appear on the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, or if “Reuters Page LIBOR01” is not available on such date, the Calculation Agent will obtain such rate from Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM.”

     If no offered rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” or Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM” on an Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be determined for such Interest Determination Date on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to prime banks in the London inter-bank market by four major banks in such market selected by the Company, for a term of three months commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that in the judgment of the Calculation Agent is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m. in New York City on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the Company, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a term of three months commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that in the judgment of the Calculation Agent is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the then-existing LIBOR rate will remain in effect for such Interest Period, or, if none, the interest rate will be the initial interest rate.

R-3

     All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 5.876545% (or .05876545) would be rounded to 5.87655% (or ..0587655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. Each calculation of the interest rate on the Securities by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders of the Securities and the Company.

     Accrued interest on the Securities will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the Securities by an accrued interest factor. This accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the Interest Period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that day by 360. For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date or, if none, the initial interest rate.

     In the event that (i) the Company does not consummate the acquisition of ARINC Incorporated on or before May 31, 2014 (the “Acquisition Deadline Date”), or (ii) the agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of ARINC Incorporated (the “Merger Agreement”) is terminated at any time on or before the Acquisition Deadline Date, the Company will redeem all the Securities at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed (the “Special Acquisition Redemption Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Special Acquisition Redemption Date (the “Special Acquisition Redemption”).

     “Special Acquisition Redemption Date” means the earlier to occur of (1) June 30, 2014 (or if such day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter), or (2) the 30th day (or if such day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) following the termination of the Merger Agreement for any reason.

     If the Company is required to redeem the Securities pursuant to the Special Acquisition Redemption, the Company will cause notice to be sent to each Holder of the Securities, with a copy to the Trustee, at their registered addresses within five business days after the occurrence of the event that requires the Company to redeem the Securities. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Acquisition Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on the Special Acquisition Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee on or before such Special Acquisition Redemption Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Special Acquisition Redemption Date, such Securities will cease to bear interest and all rights under such Securities shall terminate (other than in respect of the right to receive the Special Acquisition Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Special Acquisition Redemption Date).

R-4

     If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Securities as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder's Securities on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company's option, prior to the date of the consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will be required to deliver a notice to Holders of Securities, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) pursuant to the procedures described in such notice.

     The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of the consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

     On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will be required, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities properly accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being repurchased.

     The Paying Agent will promptly mail or electronically deliver to each Holder of Securities properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

     Notwithstanding the above, the Company will not be required to make the Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering 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 to be made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

R-5

     The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations 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 Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture or the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities by virtue of any such conflicts.

     “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Company's Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (2) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties and assets, taken as a whole, to one or more Persons (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company's Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no Person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.

     “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

     “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Ltd. and its successors.

R-6

     “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch, Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody's and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company.

     “Moody’s” means Moody's Investors Service Inc. and its successors.

     “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody's and S&P; and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody's or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company's control, a "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody's or S&P, or any of them, as the case may be.

     “Rating Event” means the rating on the Securities is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies and the Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any day within the 60-day period (which 60-day period will be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (2) public notice of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) an arrangement that could result in the occurrence of a Change of Control; provided, however, that a Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event hereunder) if any Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company's or its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Rating Event).

     “S&P” means Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.

     “Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified person as of any date, the capital stock of such person then outstanding that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors or similar governing body of such person.

     The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders, create and issue further notes ranking equally and ratably with the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes), so that these further notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities, provided that if such further notes are not fungible for United States federal income tax purposes, the further notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

R-7

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Security may be registered for transfer on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment, and at such other locations as the Company may from time to time designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities without coupons in the denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security, the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any one thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur, the principal of all the Securities 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 with respect to the Securities and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, 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 of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not a notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

R-8

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     The Company at its option, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Indenture, (a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain obligations to register the transfer and exchange of such Securities, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, to compensate, reimburse and indemnify the Trustee, to maintain an office or agency with respect to the Securities and to hold moneys for payment in trust) or (b) may omit to comply with certain restrictive covenants contained in the Indenture, in each case upon irrevocable deposit with the Trustee in trust of money or U.S. government securities (as described in the Indenture) or a combination thereof, which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to discharge the principal of and interest on such Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or interest.

     Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
