(5) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company or the Company’s designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to: (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the week immediately prior to the calculation date, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15”, or any successor publication that is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, for the maturity most closely corresponding to the Par Redemption Date of the Securities being redeemed (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Par Redemption Date 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 such 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 immediately prior to the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual 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; provided that, if the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Redemption Date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.

Unless the Company defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

SECTION 2.05 Loss Absorption Disqualification Event Redemption. If a Loss Absorption Regulations Event occurs on or after the Issue Date that does, or would be likely to (in the opinion of the Company, the PRA or the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority), result in a Loss Absorption Disqualification Event, the Company may, at the Company’s option, at any time, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise set forth in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, Article 11 of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of Securities pursuant to this Section 2.05.

SECTION 2.06 Events of Default. The terms of Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 (except for Sections 5.03(c) and 5.03(f)) of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Securities and shall be replaced in their entirety by the enforcement events and remedies set forth in Section 2.07 hereof.

SECTION 2.07 Enforcement Events and Remedies.

(a) If a Winding-Up Event occurs, the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable, without the need of any further action on the part of the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person.

(b) If the Company fails to pay any amount that has become due and payable under the Securities and such failure continues for fourteen (14) days, the Trustee may provide a written notice of such failure to the Company. If within a period of fourteen (14) days following the provision of such notice, the failure continues and has not been cured nor waived (a “Non-Payment Event”), the Trustee may at its discretion and without further notice to the Company institute proceedings in England (or such other jurisdiction in which the Company may be organized) (but not elsewhere) for the Company’s winding-up and/or prove in the Company’s winding-up and/or claim in the Company’s liquidation or administration.

(c) In addition to the remedies for a Non-Payment Event provided in Section 2.07(b) hereof, the Trustee may, without further notice, institute such proceedings against the Company as the Trustee may deem fit to enforce any term, obligation or condition binding on the Company under the Securities or the Indenture (other than any payment obligation of the Company under or arising from the Securities or the Indenture, including, without limitation, payment of any principal or interest, including Additional Amounts) (such obligation, a “Performance Obligation”); provided always that the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities) and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities may not enforce, and may not be entitled to enforce or otherwise claim, against the Company any judgment or other award given in such proceedings that requires the payment of money by the Company, whether by way of damages or otherwise (a “Monetary Judgment”), except by proving such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s winding-up and/or by claiming such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s administration.

(d) By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that such Holder and Beneficial Owner shall not seek to enforce or otherwise claim, and shall not direct the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities) to enforce or otherwise claim, a Monetary Judgment against the Company in connection with the Company’s breach of a Performance Obligation, except by proving such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s winding-up and/or by claiming such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s administration.

-13-

(e) Other than the limited remedies specified in this Section 2.07 and subject to Section 2.07(f) hereof, no remedy against the Company shall be available to the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities) or the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of such Securities or under the Indenture or in respect of any breach by the Company of any of the Company’s obligations under or in respect of the terms of such Securities or under the Indenture in relation thereto; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to, and rights of, the Trustee under Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture and the Trustee’s rights to have money collected applied first to pay amounts due to it under such Section pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Base Indenture expressly survive any Senior Enforcement Event.

(f) Notwithstanding the limitation on remedies specified in this Section 2.07, (1) the Trustee shall have such powers as are required to be authorized to it under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the provisions of the Indenture and (2) nothing shall impair the right of a Holder of the Securities under the Trust Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s consent, to sue for any payment due but unpaid with respect to the Securities. No Holder of Securities shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Company except as described in Section 5.07 of the Base Indenture.

SECTION 2.08 Trustee’s Duties. In case of a Senior Enforcement Event with respect to the Securities, the Trustee shall with respect to such Securities exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. For these purposes, a “Senior Enforcement Event” shall occur (i) upon the occurrence of a Winding-Up Event, (ii) upon the occurrence of a Non-Payment Event or (iii) upon a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 2.09 Waiver of Certain Past Events of Default. For purposes of the Base Indenture and with respect to the Securities, Section 5.13 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the following:

“(a) Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Senior Debt Securities of such series waive any past Event of Default that results from a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation. Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series shall not be entitled to waive any past Event of Default that results from a Winding-Up Event or a Non-Payment Event.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any waiver permitted by paragraph (a) above, such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to any series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Senior Debt Securities Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.”

SECTION 2.10 Notice of Defaults Following an Event of Default. For purposes of the Base Indenture and with respect to the Securities, Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the following:

-14-

“Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder with respect to Senior Debt Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06 to Holders of Senior Debt Securities of such series notice of such Event of Default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee determine in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Senior Debt Securities of such series.”

SECTION 2.11 Applicability of the Term “Event of Default. For purposes of the Base Indenture, the term “Event of Default” shall mean “Senior Enforcement Event” as defined in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, except that the term “Event of Default” as used in Sections 3.05(c)(ii) and 6.07 of the Base Indenture and Article 8 of the Base Indenture shall mean “Winding-Up Event.”

SECTION 2.12 Certain Acts of Holders Following an Event of Default. For purposes of the Base Indenture and with respect to the Securities, Section 1.04(d) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the following:

“Upon receipt by the Trustee from any Holder of Senior Debt Securities of a particular series of any direction referred to in Section 5.12 with respect to Senior Debt Securities of such series, if the Trustee shall not have taken the action specified in such direction, then the Trustee may set a record date for determining the Holders of Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction. The Trustee will notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series of any such record date so fixed. The Holders of Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series as of the close of business on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.”

SECTION 2.13 Notice of Redemption.

(a) Before the Company may redeem the Securities pursuant to Section 2.04 or Section 2.05 hereof or pursuant to Section 11.09 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall deliver via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are definitive Securities, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the register for the Securities) prior notice of not less than fifteen (15) days, nor more than sixty (60) days, to the Holders of the Securities. The Company shall deliver written notice of such redemption of the Securities to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the relevant notice of redemption is sent to Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall specify the Company’s election to redeem the Securities and the date fixed for such redemption and shall be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in paragraphs (b) below.

(b) If the Company has delivered a notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.13, but prior to the payment of the redemption amount with respect to such redemption the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority exercises its U.K. Bail-in Power with respect to the Securities, such redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment in respect of the redemption amount shall be due and payable.

-15-

(c) If any event specified in paragraph (b) above occurs, the Company shall promptly deliver notice to the Holders of the Securities via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are definitive Securities, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the shown on the register for the Securities) and to the Trustee directly, specifying the occurrence of the relevant event.

London Banking Day:	Any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.
Calculation Agent:	The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, or its successor appointed by the Company.
Calculation of LIBOR:	LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: (1)With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the related Interest Reset Date that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on that Interest Determination Date. If no such rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below; and (2)With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 (in circumstances other than those described under the Benchmark Transition Provisions, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market (which may include affiliates of the underwriters), as selected and identified by the Company, to provide its offered quotation (expressed as a

percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected and identified by the Company for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be equal to LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first Interest Determination Date, the rate of interest on the Securities for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period will be equal to the Fixed Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or any page as may replace such page on such service (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks for U.S. dollars.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the Floating Interest Rate 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., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts would be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the Securities shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities, the Company and the Trustee, absent manifest error.

For any Floating Rate Interest Period, if LIBOR is negative, then it would reduce the Floating Interest Rate payable for such interest period below the specified Margin. Accordingly, Holders may receive a Floating Interest Rate that is lower than the specified Margin. In any event, the Floating Interest Rate will not be less than zero.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the Company or the Company’s designee determines on or prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then the provisions set forth below under “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” which are referred to as the “Benchmark Transition Provisions” will thereafter apply to all determinations of the Floating Interest Rate payable on the Securities during the Floating Rate Period; provided, that no Benchmark Replacement will be adopted if and to the extent that the Company determines, in the Company’s sole discretion, that such Benchmark Replacement prejudices, or could reasonably be expected to prejudice, after the application of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and the further decisions and determinations as described below, the eligibility of the Securities to count towards the Group’s minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for purposes of, and in accordance with, the Capital Regulations; provided further that, if we have determined not to adopt the Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the proviso set forth above and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, the Floating Interest Rate for such Floating Rate Interest Period and subsequent Floating Rate Interest Periods will be equal to the Floating Interest Rate in effect for the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period or, in the case of the first Interest Determination Date, the rate of interest on the Securities for such Floating Rate Interest Period and subsequent Floating Rate Interest Periods will be equal to the Fixed Interest Rate. In accordance with the Benchmark Transition Provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the Margin.

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event:

Benchmark Replacement. If the Company or the Company’s designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Securities in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or the Company’s designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company or the Company’s designee pursuant to a Benchmark Transition Event, including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Company or the Company’s designee’s sole discretion and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Securities, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the Securities or any other party.

In connection with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or other modifications pursuant to the Benchmark Transition Provisions, neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be required to effect any amendments that affect their own rights, duties or immunities under the Base Indenture or otherwise.

BARCLAYS PLC, a company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of England and Wales (herein called the “Company”, 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 US$[•] ([•]) on May 7, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), except as otherwise provided herein, and to pay interest thereon, in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest shall accrue on this Security from May 7, 2020 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrear on May 7 and November 7 of each year (each, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”), commencing on November 7, 2020 and ending on May 7, 2025 (the “Par Redemption Date”), except as otherwise provided herein, at the rate of 2.852% per annum. Thereafter, interest shall be paid quarterly in arrear on August 7, 2025, November 7, 2025, February 7, 2026 and the Maturity Date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date” and, together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, an “Interest Payment Date”), except as otherwise provided herein, at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), reset quarterly, plus 2.452% per annum (the “Margin”), as described below, subject to the Benchmark Transition Provisions set forth in Annex I to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

The interest rate on the Securities for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be LIBOR, as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date, plus the Margin, subject to the Benchmark Transition Provisions set forth in Annex I to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. During the Floating Rate Period, the interest rate on the Securities will be reset quarterly on each Interest Reset Date. Subject to the limitations specified on the reverse of this Security, interest on the Securities shall be computed and payable in arrear and on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months during the Fixed Rate Period and on the basis of the actual number of days in each Floating Rate Interest Period and a 360-day year during the Floating Rate Period.

The Calculation Agent, initially the Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (the “Calculation Agent”), will determine LIBOR in any circumstance where the Calculation Agent is so required under the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Annex I to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company or the Company’s designee determines on or prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR, then the Benchmark Transition Provisions set forth in Annex I to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture will thereafter apply to all determinations of the Floating Interest Rate payable on the Securities during the Floating Rate Period; provided that no Benchmark Replacement will be adopted if and to the extent that the Company determines, in the Company’s sole discretion, that such Benchmark Replacement prejudices, or could reasonably be expected to prejudice, after the application of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and the further decisions and determinations as described in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the eligibility of the Securities to count toward the Company’s minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities for the purposes of, and in accordance with the Capital Regulations.

In accordance with the Benchmark Transition Provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the Margin.

All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the interest rate on the Securities shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities, the Company and the Trustee, absent manifest error.

If any scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined below), but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date. If any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or repayment of the Securities will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment. If the Securities are redeemed, unless the Company defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date on the Securities called for redemption. A “Business Day” means any weekday, other than one on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in London, England or in the City of New York, United States.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name the relevant Security (or any Predecessor Security) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority, unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Company under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Company.

Payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture to the Holder or Holders of this Security. Initially, the Paying Agent for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom and the Place of Payment in respect of the Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, which as of the date hereof is hereby designated for purposes of the Securities initially as the office or agency of the Trustee located at said address. Initially, the Senior

Debt Security Registrar for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, 2-4 Rue Eugene Ruppert, Vertigo Building – Polaris, Luxembourg, 2453, Luxembourg (which location shall also be a Place of Payment for purposes of Section 3.05(a) of the Base Indenture). The Company at any time and from time to time may change the Paying Agent or, subject to Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture, the Place of Payment, and the Senior Debt Security Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, and in such an event the Company may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar. Payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal, this Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for the waiver of set-off provisions referenced herein and set forth in Section 5.03(c) of the Base Indenture which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

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

THIS SECURITY IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE U.K. FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPENSATION SCHEME OR INSURED BY THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof, directly or through an Authenticating Agent, by manual, facsimile or electronic signature of an authorized signatory, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
