2. Payment of Interest

The principal of this Security shall not bear interest. Any return on this Security that may be deemed to be interest will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as it may be modified by U.S. law of general application.

4. Payment at Maturity or Upon Early Redemption and Adjustments

The payment that becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date or on a Redemption Date, as the case may be, in respect of this Security shall be the cash amount that must be paid to redeem this Security as provided above under “Payment at Maturity” and “Early Redemption”, respectively. The payment in respect of this Security that becomes due and payable upon acceleration of the Maturity Date hereof after an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to the Indenture shall be the Default Amount. When the amount referred to in either of the two preceding sentences has been paid as provided herein (or such payment has been made available), the principal of this Security shall be deemed to have been paid in full, whether or not this Security shall have been surrendered for payment or cancellation. References to the payment at maturity or upon early redemption of this Security on any day shall be deemed to mean the payment of cash that is payable on such day as provided in this Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver, notice or other

(Face of Security continued on next page)

action to be given or taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken by Holders of Outstanding Securities in the requisite aggregate principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will be deemed to equal the Stated Principal Amount. This Security shall cease to be Outstanding as provided in the definition of such term in the Indenture when the principal of this Security shall be deemed to have been paid in full as provided above.

In the event that payment at maturity is deferred beyond January 23, 2048, penalty interest will not accrue or be payable with respect to that deferred payment.

The Company may on any Business Day (the “announcement date”) elect to effectuate a subdivision (a “split”) or combination (a “reverse split”) of the Securities by issuing a notice to Holders of the Securities and a press release announcing the split or reverse split. The record date for any split or reverse split shall be the ninth Business Day following the announcement date and the effective date for any split or reverse split shall be the Business Day immediately following the record date. Such notice and announcement shall specify the effective date of the split or reverse split and the split or reverse split ratio. The split or reverse split shall become effective at the opening of trading of the Securities on the effective date. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Securities such that, upon the effectiveness of the split or reverse split, each Holder who held the Securities via DTC at the close of business on the record date will hold a number of Securities equal to the number of Securities owned at the close of business on the record date multiplied by the split ratio (in the case of splits) or divided by the reverse split ratio (in the case of reverse splits); provided that, in the case of any reverse split, any Holder who held a number of Securities at the close of business on the record date that is not evenly divisible by the reverse split ratio shall receive the same treatment as all other Holders for the maximum number of Securities held by such Holder that is evenly divisible by the reverse split ratio and the Company shall compensate such Holder for its remaining Securities in a commercially reasonable manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The Closing Indicative Value of the Securities on the record date will be divided by the split ratio (in the case of a split) or multiplied by the reverse split ratio (in the case of a reverse split) and rounded to eight decimal places. The Company shall adjust the minimum redemption amount provided under “Early Redemption” accordingly in its sole discretion and in a commercially reasonable manner to take into account any reverse split.

5. Redemption Mechanics

(a) Holder Redemption. Subject to the minimum redemption amount provided under “Early Redemption”, the Holder may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s Securities on any Redemption Date during the term of the Securities, provided that such Holder (i) delivers a notice of Holder Redemption to the Company via electronic mail by no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Valuation Date specified in such notice of Holder Redemption; (ii) delivers a signed confirmation of Holder Redemption to the Company via facsimile or email by no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the same day; (iii) instructs the Holder’s DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the Holder’s Securities on the applicable Valuation Date at a price per Security equal to the applicable Closing Indicative Value, facing Barclays DTC 5101; and (iv) causes the Holder’s

(Face of Security continued on next page)

DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the applicable Redemption Date, which shall be the second Business Day following the applicable Valuation Date (other than the Final Valuation Date). The final Redemption Date shall be the second Business Day following the Valuation Date that is immediately prior to the Final Valuation Date. The Company may by notice to the Holders modify clause (iii) above to reflect any changes in DTC requirements.

(b) Issuer Redemption. If the Company elects to exercise its right to redeem the Securities under “Early Redemption”, the Company will deliver written notice of such election to redeem to the Holder of such Securities not less than ten calendar days prior to the Redemption Date specified by the Company in such issuer redemption notice. The Final Valuation Date will be deemed to be the fifth Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date (subject to postponement in the event of a Market Disruption Event), and the Securities will be redeemed on the Redemption Date specified by the Company in such issuer redemption notice, but in no event prior to the tenth calendar day following the date on which the Company delivers such issuer redemption notice.

6. Role of Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for all determinations and calculations regarding: the value of the Securities, including at maturity or upon Early Redemption; Market Disruption Events; Business Days; Index Business Days; Trading Days; the Investor Fee; the Default Amount; the Valuation Dates; the Daily Index Factor; the Index level on any Valuation Date; the Closing Indicative Value of the Securities on any Valuation Date; the Maturity Date; Redemption Dates; the amount payable on the Securities at maturity or upon Early Redemption and all such other matters as may be specified elsewhere herein as matters to be determined by the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations in its sole discretion, and absent manifest error, all determinations of the Calculation Agent shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company, the Holder and all other Persons having an interest in this Security, without liability on the part of the Calculation Agent.

The Company shall take such action as shall be necessary to ensure that there is, at all relevant times, a financial institution serving as the Calculation Agent hereunder. The Company may, in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, upon written notice to the Trustee, but without notice to the Holder of this Security, terminate the appointment of any Person serving as the Calculation Agent and appoint another Person (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as the Calculation Agent. Insofar as this Security provides for the Calculation Agent to determine the value of the Index on any date or other information from any institution or other source, the Calculation Agent may do so from any source or sources of the kind contemplated or otherwise permitted hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such sources are the Calculation Agent, Affiliates of the Calculation Agent or Affiliates of the Company.

(Face of Security continued on next page)

7. Payment

Payment will be made to an account designated by the Holder (in writing to the Company and the Trustee on or before the applicable Valuation Date) and acceptable to the Company or, if no such account is designated and acceptable as aforesaid, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, provided, however, that payment on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date shall be made only upon surrender of this Security at such office or agency (unless the Company waives surrender). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Security is a Global Security, any payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary as permitted in said Indenture.

(Reverse of Security)

The Securities are part of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2004, as amended and supplemented by supplemental indentures dated as of April 30, 2015 and August 31, 2016 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth on the face of this Security, the latter shall control for purposes of the Securities.

The Securities are part of the series designated on the face hereof. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof.

Payments under the Securities will be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law.

Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power

Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities, by acquiring the Securities, each Holder and beneficial owner of the Securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion of, the principal amount of, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the Holder of the Securities such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest or any other amounts become payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised by means of a variation of the terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K. Bail-In Power. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the Securities further

acknowledges and agrees that the rights of Holders and beneficial owners of the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this consent and acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights Holders and beneficial owners of the Securities may have at law if and to the extent that any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in breach of laws applicable in England.

Any reference in this Security to payment by the Company under the Securities shall be deemed to include delivery of property, as applicable.

By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder and beneficial owner (i) acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, (iii) acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority, (a) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders or beneficial owners of the Securities under Section 5.12 of the Indenture and (b) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority (notwithstanding the foregoing in this clause (iii), if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in respect of the Securities, the Securities remain outstanding, then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture), and (iv) shall be deemed to have (a) consented to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (b) authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder and such beneficial owner or the Trustee.

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on, or any other amount payable 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.

Each Holder and beneficial owner that acquires its Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in the Securities to the same extent as the Holders and beneficial owners of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. Bail-In Power.

Upon the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, the Company shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power for purposes of notifying Holders and beneficial owners of such occurrence. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes.

The Company’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.07 of the Indenture shall survive any exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities.

The exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under the Indenture (as each term is defined therein).

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by each Holder and beneficial owner pursuant to this Security, including the consents given by such Holder and beneficial owner, shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such Holder and beneficial owner.

Other Terms of the Securities

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 a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of

the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by Holders of the Securities shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holders and upon all future Holders of the Securities and of any Securities issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon the Securities.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, 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 aggregate 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 reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, 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 Holders of the Securities for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

Except as provided herein under “Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power,” 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 the Securities as herein provided.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of the Securities is registrable in the Senior Debt Security Register, upon surrender of the Securities for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of the Securities is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Senior Debt Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities, and any other Securities of this series and of like tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations as specified on the face hereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall 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 of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name the Securities are registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
