Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2002 (the “Indenture”), made between Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Bank One Trust Company, NA, as trustee (the “Trustee”), Rick W. Brazile, Vice President of Planning and Analysis hereby certifies as follows, and Anthony D. George, Senior Corporate Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Company attests to the following certification. Any capitalized term used herein shall have the definition ascribed to that term as set forth in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.

A. This certificate is a Series Terms Certificate contemplated by Section 3.01 of the Indenture and is being executed to evidence the establishment and approval of the terms and conditions of the Series that was established pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture by means of a Unanimous Written Consent of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, dated as of February 18, 2003 (the “Original Series Consent”), which Series is designated as the “Floating Rate Notes Due 2005” (the “2005 Floating Rate Series”), by Rick W. Brazile, pursuant to the grant of authority under the terms of the Original Series Consent.

B. Each of the undersigned has read the Indenture, including the provisions of Sections 1.02 and 3.01 and the definitions relating thereto, and the resolutions adopted in the Original Series Consent. In the opinion of the undersigned, the undersigned have made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable the undersigned to express an informed opinion as to whether or not all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to the execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Indenture, to the creation, establishment and approval of the title, the form and the terms of a Series under the Indenture, and to the authentication and delivery by the Trustee of promissory notes of a Series, have been complied with. In the opinion of the undersigned, (i) all such conditions precedent have been complied with and (ii) there are no Events of Default (as defined in the Indenture), or events which, with the passage of time, would become an Event of Default under the Indenture.

C. Pursuant to the Original Series Consent, the Company is authorized to issue $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of promissory notes of the 2005 Floating Rate Series (the “Initial Notes”). A copy of the Original Series Consent is attached hereto as Annex A. Any promissory notes that the Company issues that are a part of the 2005 Floating Rate Series (the “Notes”) shall be represented by one or more global securities substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B (the “Form of Note”).

D. Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the terms and conditions of the 2005 Floating Rate Series and the promissory notes forming a part of the 2005 Floating Rate Series, including the Notes, are established and approved to be the following:

1

1. Designation:

The Series established by the Original Series Consent is designated as the “Floating Rate Notes Due 2005.”

2. Aggregate Principal Amount:

The 2005 Floating Rate Series is not limited as to the aggregate principal amount of all the promissory notes of the 2005 Floating Rate Series that the Company may issue. The Company is issuing the Initial Notes, which have an aggregate original principal amount of $1,500,000,000.

3. Maturity:

Final maturity of the Notes of the 2005 Floating Rate Series will be February 22, 2005.

4. Interest:

a. Rate

The Notes will bear interest at Three-Month LIBOR (determined as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement) minus 4.25 basis points (0.0425%) which interest shall commence accruing from and including February 21, 2003. Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 4(a) of the Form of Note) if any, will also be payable on the Notes.

b. Interest Calculation.

The calculation agent will compute interest on the Notes on a daily basis from and including the last interest payment date to which interest has been paid (or from and including the date of issue if no interest has been paid with respect to the notes) to, but excluding, the applicable interest payment date or the maturity date (or the date of a tax redemption), as the case may be. If any interest payment date for the Notes (other than the maturity date or the date of a tax redemption) would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, then the interest payment date will be postponed to the following date which is a business day, unless that business day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the interest payment date will be the immediately preceding business day. If the maturity date (or the date of a tax redemption) of the Notes falls on a day which is not a business day, then the Company will make the required payment of

2

principal and/or interest on the following day which is a business day, as if it were made on the date the payment was due. Interest will not accrue as a result of this delayed payment. The term “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York. The calculation agent will reset the rate of interest on the Notes on each interest payment date. If any of the interest reset dates for the Notes is not a business day, that interest reset date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, unless that day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the interest reset date will be the business day immediately preceding the related interest payment date. The interest rate set for the Notes on a particular interest reset date will remain in effect during the interest period commencing on that interest reset date. Each interest period will be the period from and including an interest reset date to but excluding the next interest reset date or until the maturity date of the Notes, as the case may be. The calculation agent will determine the interest rate applicable to the Notes on the interest determination date, which will be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the interest reset date. The interest rate determined on an interest determination date will become effective on and as of the next interest reset date. The initial interest determination date will be February 19, 2003 for the interest period commencing February 21, 2003. “London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

The calculation agent will determine the applicable LIBOR rate according to the following provisions:

(i) The Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be the rate for three-month deposits in U.S. dollars commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the interest determination date that appears on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on Telerate Page 3750, for the purpose of displaying the London interbank offered rates of major banks as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that interest determination date.

(ii) If the applicable LIBOR rate does not appear on the indicated Telerate Page, or if that Telerate Page is unavailable, then the calculation agent will determine LIBOR as follows:

3

(A) The calculation agent will select the principal London offices of four major banks in the London interbank market. It will request each bank to provide its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month maturity commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the interest determination date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the interest determination date. These quotes will be for deposits of at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the market at that time.

(B) If at least two of these banks provide a quotation, the calculation agent will compute LIBOR as the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided.

(C) If fewer than two of these banks provide a quotation, the calculation agent will request from three major banks in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the interest determination date, quotations for three-month loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the interest determination date. These quotes will be for loans of at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the market at that time. The calculation agent will compute LIBOR as the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided.

(D) If none of these banks provides a quotation as mentioned, the rate of interest will be the interest rate then in effect.

The interest rate payable on the Notes will not be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as that law may be modified by U.S. law of general application. The Company will publish the interest period, the floating rate interest payment date, the floating interest rate for that interest period, and the amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for each interest period in the manner for giving notice to holders of the Notes. The calculations of the calculation agent will, in the absence of

4

manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the Notes. So long as Notes are outstanding, there will at all times be a calculation agent.

The Company will appoint a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the successor calculation agent to Bank One Trust Company, NA or any of its successors in that capacity in the event that:

(i) any acting calculation agent is unable or unwilling to act,

(ii) any acting calculation agent fails to establish the floating interest rate, or

(iii) the Company proposes to remove the calculation agent.

Bank One Trust Company, NA will serve as the calculation agent for the Notes.

c. Payment Dates

Interest will be payable on the Notes quarterly in arrears on February 22, May 22, August 22 and November 22 of each year, beginning on May 22, 2003, to the person or persons in whose name or names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the fifteenth London business day prior to each Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days during the relevant interest period and a 360-day year.

5. Currency of Payment:

The principal and interest payable with respect to the Notes shall be payable in United States dollars.

6. Payment Places:

All payments of principal of and interest on the Notes will be made to The Depository Trust Company so long as the Notes are in global form, otherwise payment shall be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

5

7. Optional Redemption Features:

The Company may redeem the Notes upon the occurrence of certain tax events pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Form of Note.

There is no sinking fund with respect to the Notes.

8. Special Redemption Features, etc.:

None.

9. Denominations:

$1,000 and integral multiples thereof for the Notes.

10. Principal Repayment:

100% of the principal amount of each Note.

11. Registrar, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent:

Bank One Trust Company, NA, will be the registrar, calculation agent and paying agent for the Notes.

12. Defeasance:

Sections 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04 of the Indenture apply to the Notes.

13. Payment of Additional Amounts:

The Company shall pay additional amounts as set forth under Section 5 of the Form of Notes.

14. Book-Entry Procedures:

The Notes shall be issued in the form of global Notes registered in the name of CEDE & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company and will be issued in certificated form only in limited circumstances, in each case, as set forth under Sections 12 and 13 of the Form of Notes.

15. Other Terms:

Sections 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the Form of Note attached hereto as Annex B shall also apply to the Notes.

6

The Notes will not have any terms or conditions of the type contemplated by clause (iii), (vi), (vii), (xii), (xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xvi) (xvii), or (xx) of Section 3.01 of the Indenture.

E. The Notes will be issued pursuant to and governed by the Indenture. To the extent that the Indenture’s terms apply to the Notes specifically or apply to the terms of all Securities of all Series established pursuant to and governed by the Indenture, such terms shall apply to the Notes.

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

WAL-MART STORES, INC.

FLOATING RATE NOTES DUE 2005

1. Indenture; Notes. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as the “Floating Rate Notes due 2005” (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 on February 21, 2003. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company, issued or issuable under and pursuant to, the Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2002 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company, as Issuer and Bank One Trust Company, NA, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which this Note is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.

All capitalized terms which are used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The Company may, without the consent of the holders, issue and sell additional Securities ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise identical in all respects (except for their date of issue, issue price and the date from which interest payments thereon shall accrue) so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes; provided, however, that no additional Securities of any existing or new series may be issued under the Indenture if an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured thereunder.

2. Interest Rate. The rate at which interest shall be payable on the Notes shall be a floating rate, which for each interest period shall be the Three-Month LIBOR Rate determined for that interest period minus 4.25 basis points (0.0425%).

The Calculation Agent (as defined below) will reset the rate of interest on the Notes on February 22, May 22, August 22 and November 22 of each year (each, an “Interest Reset Date”).

The Calculation Agent shall determine the applicable interest rate on the Notes for the succeeding interest period on the date that is two London Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date (each an “Interest Determination Date”). The Interest Determination Date for the initial applicable interest rate on the Notes was February 19, 2003.

The interest rate determined on an Interest Determination Date for the Notes (a) shall become effective on and as of the next succeeding Interest Reset Date and (b) shall be the rate at which interest is payable on the Notes for the interest period from and including the

Interest Reset Date on which that interest rate becomes effective to but excluding the succeeding Interest Reset Date.

Bank One Trust Company, NA shall act as calculation agent (together with its successors in that capacity, the “Calculation Agent”) in connection with the Notes. The Calculation Agent shall serve as the calculation agent hereunder unless and until a successor calculation agent is appointed by the Company. The calculations of the Calculation Agent will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the Notes.

The Company shall appoint a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the successor calculation agent to Bank One Trust Company, NA, or any of its successors in that capacity, in the event that: (i) any acting calculation agent is unable or unwilling to act, (ii) any acting calculation agent fails to establish the floating interest rate, or (iii) the Company proposes to remove the Calculation Agent.

“Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

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

“Three-Month LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 (as defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date; provided, that if on any Interest Determination Date the applicable London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, or if Telerate Page 3750 is not available, then the Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market, which banks are to be selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to at least $1 million and in a principal amount that 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 for such deposits. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided to the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Three-Month LIBOR Rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be determined on the basis of the rates quoted by three major banks located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which banks are to be selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 am., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to an amount of at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single

2

transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be at the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided; provided, however, that if none of the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the interest rate will be the interest rate on the Notes in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Telerate Page 3750” means the display page designated as page 3750 on the Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) or such other page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates.

The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York, as the same may be modified by the laws of the United States of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to such holder the interest rate then in effect for this Note, if available, and, if different, the interest rate to be in effect as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to this Note.

Interest payments hereon will include the amount of interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Unless otherwise specified herein, all percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note 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., 6.526545% (or .06526545) will be rounded upward to 6.52655% (or .0652655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

3. Ranking. The Notes shall constitute the senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company and shall rank equally in right of payment among themselves and with all other existing and future senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company.

4. Payment of Overdue Amounts. The Company shall pay interest, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant interest period and a 360-day year, on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.

5. Payment of Additional Amounts; Redemption Upon a Tax Event.

(a) Payment of Additional Amounts. The Company shall pay to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below) such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment of principal of and interest on this Note to such holder, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon such holder by the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and

3

payable (such amounts, the “Additional Amounts”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

(i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for (A) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, and the United States including, without limitation, such holder, or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States of America or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in trade or business or present in the United States of America, or (B) the presentation of this Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of (x) the date on which such payment becomes due and payable and (y) the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for;

(iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of or interest on this Note;

(v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on this Note if such payment can be made without withholding by any other paying agent;

(vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States Treasury Department as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on interest received by (A) a 10% shareholder (as defined in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations that may be promulgated thereunder) of the Company or (B) a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Code; or
