Barclays Bank PLC, a public limited company registered under the laws of England and Wales (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year, commencing on the first such date that is at least 15 calendar days after the Original Issue Date, and at the Maturity of the principal hereof, at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3 on the reverse hereof, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(n) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a “Regular Record Date”). Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest either may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as provided in this and the next three paragraphs. The Specified Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original Issue Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country, except as provided in

the next sentence. If the euro is specified on the face of this Security as the Specified Currency for any payment, the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries (as defined in Section 3(n) on the reverse hereof), provided that, if on any day there are not at least two EMU Countries, or if on any day there are at least two EMU Countries but no coin or currency is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries, then the Specified Currency for such payment shall be deemed not to be available to the Company on such day.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made in U.S. dollars if the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in U.S. dollars to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporation Trust Trustee Administration, on or before the fifth Business Day before the payment is to be made. Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, telecopied or delivered in any other manner approved by the Trustee. Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the fifth Business Day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments. In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date.

The U.S. dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three (or, if three are not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for U.S. dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities of this or any other series who elect to receive U.S. dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If the Exchange Rate Agent determines that two such bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment. All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on this Security will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day (including at Maturity) in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and if such Specified Currency is not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in

a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in U.S. dollars. The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency (the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Security.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Senior Debt Security Register. All payments by check shall be made in next-day funds.

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office: The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporation Trust Administration, on or before the fifth Business Day before the day on which such payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the fifth Business Day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments. In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date. The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection

with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Payment of any amount payable on this Security in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is maintained in such Specified Currency at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Company and the Trustee and as shall have been designated at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date by the Person entitled to receive such payment; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Such account designation shall be made by transmitting the appropriate information to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by mail, hand delivery, telecopier or in any other manner approved by the Trustee. Unless revoked, any such account designation made with respect to this Security by the Holder hereof will remain in effect with respect to any further payments with respect to this Security payable to such Holder, unless a new account in designated on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the applicable payment date as set forth above. If a payment in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars with respect to this Security cannot be made by wire transfer because the required account designation has not been received by the Trustee on or before the requisite date or for any other reason, the Company will cause a notice to be given to the Holder of this Security at its registered address requesting an account designation pursuant to which such wire transfer can be made and such payment will be made within five Business Days after the Trustee’s receipt of such a designation meeting the requirements specified above, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date. The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding any provision of this security or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, the Company may make any and all payments of principal, premium and interest on this Security pursuant to the Administrative Procedures of the

Depositary for this Security as attached to the Authentication Order, dated September [•], 2004, from the Company to the Trustee, and accepted by the Trustee.

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to this Security. Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security on a day (the “Specified Day”) that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the Base Rate is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next preceding Business Day) with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to this Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 1.13 of the Indenture.

Unless otherwise specified on the face of this Security, the following sentence shall apply to each Interest Payment Date other than one that falls on the date of Maturity of the principal hereof. If any such Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if the Base Rate is LIBOR or EURIBOR and the next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, then such Interest Payment Date will be advanced to the next preceding Business Day.

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.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $1,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in “Authorized Denominations”, which term shall have the following meaning. For each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be $1,000 and multiples thereof. For each Security of this series having a principal amount payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be the amount of such Specified Currency equivalent, at the Exchange Rate on the first Business Day next preceding the date on which the Company accepts the offer to purchase such Security, to $1,000 and any multiple thereof.

(a) Interest Rate Reset. The interest rate on this Security will be reset from time to time, as provided in this Section 3, and each date upon which such rate is reset as so provided is hereinafter called an “Interest Reset Date”. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Reset Dates with respect to this Security will be as follows:

(ii) if the Interest Reset Period is weekly and the Base Rate is not the Treasury Rate, the Wednesday of each week;

(iii) if the Interest Reset Period is weekly and the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate, except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Treasury Interest Determination Date” in Section 3(n) below, the Tuesday of each week;

(iv) if the Interest Reset Period is monthly, the third Wednesday of each month;

(v) if the Interest Reset Period is quarterly, the third Wednesday of each March, June, September and December;

(vi) if the Interest Reset Period is semi-annual, the third Wednesday of each of two months in each year specified under “Interest Reset Period” on the face hereof; and

(vii) if the Interest Reset Period is annual, the third Wednesday of the month in each year specified under “Interest Reset Period” on the face hereof;

provided, however, that (x) the Base Rate in effect from the Original Issue Date to but excluding the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Base Rate and (y) if the Interest Reset Period is daily or weekly, the Base Rate in effect for each day following the second Business Day immediately prior to an Interest Payment Date to but excluding such Interest Payment Date, and for each day following the second Business Day immediately prior to the day of Maturity of the principal hereof to but excluding such day of Maturity, will be the Base Rate in effect on such applicable second Business Day; and provided, further, that, if any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if the Base Rate is LIBOR and EURIBOR and such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as otherwise specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the interest rate on this Security shall be the rate determined in accordance with such of the following Sections 3(b) through 3(j) as provide for determination of the Base Rate for this Security. The Calculation Agent shall determine the interest rate of this Security in accordance with the applicable Section below.

Unless the Base Rate is LIBOR or EURIBOR, the Calculation Agent will determine the interest rate of this Security that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date on a day no later than the Calculation Date (as defined in Section 3(n) below) corresponding to such Interest Reset Date. However, the Calculation Agent need not wait until the Calculation Date to determine such interest rate if the rate information it needs to make such determination in the manner specified in the applicable provisions of Sections 3(b) through 3(j) hereof is available from the relevant sources specified in such applicable provisions.

Upon request of the Holder to the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect on this Security and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.

(b) Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the Money Market Yield (as defined in Section 3(n) below) of the per annum rate, for the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date”), for commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15(519) (as defined in Section 3(n) below) under the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial”. If the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Commercial Paper Rate:

(i) If the rate described above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined in Section 3(n) below) corresponding to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the rate, for such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, for commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined in Section 3(n) below) or any other recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial”.

(ii) If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the following offered per annum rates for U.S. dollar commercial paper that has the Index Maturity and is placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “AA”, or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency: the rates offered as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date by three leading U.S. dollar commercial paper dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

(iii) If fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (ii) above, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(b) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(c) Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate is the Prime Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate, for the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Prime Interest Determination Date”), published in H.15(519) under the heading “Bank Prime Loan”. If the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Prime Rate:

(i) If the rate described above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such Prime Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the Prime Rate will be the rate, for such Prime Interest Determination Date, as published in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying that rate, under the heading “Bank Prime Loan”.

(ii) If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), then the Prime Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the following rates as they appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page (as defined in Section 3(n) below): the rate of interest publicly announced by each bank appearing on that page as that bank’s prime rate or base lending rate, as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Interest Determination Date.

(iii) If fewer than four of the rates referred to in clause (ii) above appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Prime Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates, as of the close of business on such Prime Interest Determination Date, of three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent. For this purpose, the Calculation Agent will use rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year.

(iv) If fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (iii) above, the Prime Rate shall be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(c) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(d) Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate is LIBOR, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall be LIBOR on the corresponding LIBOR Interest Determination Date (as defined in Section 3(n) below) and shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

LIBOR will be either of the following rates, whichever appears on the face hereof:

(x) the offered rate appearing on the Moneyline Telerate LIBOR Page (as defined in Section 3(n) below); or

(y) the arithmetic mean of the offered rates appearing on the Reuters Screen LIBOR Page (as defined in Section 3(n) below) unless that page by its terms cites only one rate, in which case that rate;

in either case, as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date for deposits of the Index Currency having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date. If no reference page is specified on the face hereof, Moneyline Telerate LIBOR Page will apply to this Security:

(i) If Moneyline Telerate LIBOR Page is specified on the face hereof and the rate referenced in clause (x) above does not appear on that page, or if Reuters Screen LIBOR Page is specified on the face hereof and fewer than two of the rates referenced in clause (y) above appear on that page or no rate appears on any page on which only one rate normally appears, then LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, at which deposits of the following kind are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in that market selected by the Calculation Agent: deposits of the Index Currency having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount (as defined in Section 3(n) below). The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each such bank to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided as described in clause (i) above, LIBOR for such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading European banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M. in the principal financial center for the country issuing the Index Currency, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in that financial center

selected by the Calculation Agent: loans of the Index Currency having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount.

(iii) If fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (ii) above, LIBOR will be the LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(d) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. If the Base Rate is LIBOR and no currency is specified on the face hereof as the Index Currency, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars.

(e) Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate is EURIBOR, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the interest rate for deposits in euros designated as “EURIBOR” and sponsored jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — the Financial Market Association (or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing that rate) on the second Euro Business Day (as defined in Section 3(n) below) before such Interest Reset Date (a “EURIBOR Interest Determination Date”), and will be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) EURIBOR will be the offered rate for deposits in euros having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date, as that rate appears on Moneyline Telerate Page 248 (as defined in Section 3(n) below) as of 11:00 A.M., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.

(ii) If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 248, EURIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, at which deposits of the following kind are offered to prime banks in the Euro-Zone (as defined in Section 3(n) below) interbank market by the principal Euro-Zone office of each of four major banks in that market selected by the Calculation Agent: euro deposits having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount. The Calculation Agent will request the principal Euro-Zone office of each of these banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations.

(iii) If fewer than two quotations are provided as described in clause (ii) above, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to leading

Euro-Zone banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in the Euro-Zone selected by the Calculation Agent: loans of euros having the Index Maturity beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount.

(iv) If fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (iii) above, EURIBOR shall be the EURIBOR in effect on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(e) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(f) Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate for the auction on the corresponding Treasury Interest Determination Date (as defined in Section 3(n) below) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity, as that rate appears on Moneyline Telerate Page 56 or 57 under the heading “Investment Rate”. If the Treasury Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Treasury Rate:

(i) If the rate described above does not appear on either Moneyline Telerate Page 56 or 57 at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such Treasury Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined in Section 3(n) below) of the rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity, as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High”.

(ii) If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 56 or 57 or in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity, as announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

(iii) If the auction rate described in clause (ii) above is not so announced by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if

no such auction is held for the relevant week, then the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity, as published in H.15(519) under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”.

(iv) If the rate described in clause (iii) above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the Treasury Rate will be the rate, for such Treasury Interest Determination Date and for Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity, as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/ Treasury Bills /Secondary Market”.

(v) If the rate described in clause (iv) above does not appear in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market bid rates for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity: the rates bid as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, by three primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

(vi) If fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (v) above, the Treasury Rate shall be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(f) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(g) Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate is the CMT Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the CMT Rate on the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “CMT Interest Determination Date”). “CMT Rate” means the following rate displayed on the Designated CMT Moneyline Telerate Page (as defined in Section 3(n) below) under the heading “ . . . Treasury Constant Maturities . . . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 . . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.”, under the column for the Designated CMT Index Maturity (as defined in Section 3(n) below):

(x) if the Designated CMT Moneyline Telerate Page is Moneyline Telerate Page 7051, the rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date; or

(y) if the Designated CMT Moneyline Telerate Page is Moneyline Telerate Page 7052, the weekly or monthly average, as specified on the face hereof, for the week that ends immediately before the week in which such CMT Interest Determination Date falls, or for the month that ends immediately before the month in which such CMT Interest Determination Date falls, as applicable.

If the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the CMT Rate:

(i) If the applicable rate described above is not displayed on the relevant Designated CMT Moneyline Telerate Page at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such CMT Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the CMT Rate will be the applicable Treasury constant maturity rate described above — i.e., for the Designated CMT Index Maturity and for either such CMT Interest Determination Date or the weekly or monthly average, as applicable — as published in H.15(519).

(ii) If the applicable rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the CMT Rate will be the Treasury constant maturity rate, or other U.S. Treasury rate, for the Designated CMT Index Maturity and with reference to such CMT Interest Determination Date, that:

(a) is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and

(b) is determined by the Calculation Agent to be comparable to the applicable rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Moneyline Telerate Page and published in H.15(519).

(iii) If the rate described in clause (ii) above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the CMT will be the yield to maturity of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market offered rates for the most recently issued Treasury Notes (as defined in Section 3(n) below) having an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Index Maturity, having a remaining term to maturity of not less than the Designated CMT Index Maturity minus one year and in a Representative Amount: the offered

rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent. In selecting such offered rates, the Calculation Agent will request quotations from five such primary dealers and will disregard the highest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the highest — and the lowest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the lowest.

(iv) If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three quotations of the kind described in clause (iii) above, the CMT Rate will be the yield to maturity of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market offered rates for Treasury Notes having an original maturity longer than the Designated CMT Index Maturity, having a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Index Maturity and in a Representative Amount: the offered rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent. In selecting such offered rates, the Calculation Agent will request quotations from five such primary dealers and will disregard the highest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the highest — and the lowest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the lowest. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity longer than the Designated CMT Index Maturity have remaining terms to maturity that are equally close to the Designated CMT Index Maturity, the Calculation Agent will obtain quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.

(v) If fewer than five but more than two such primary dealers are quoting as described in clause (iv) above, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates so obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be disregarded.

(vi) If two or fewer primary dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (v) above, the CMT Rate shall be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(g) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(h) Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate is the CD Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate, on the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “CD Interest Determination Date”), for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit having the Index

Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the heading “CDs (Secondary Market)”. If the CD Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the CD Rate:

(i) If the rate described above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such CD Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the CD Rate shall be the rate described above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “CDs (Secondary Market)”.

(ii) If the rate described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), then CD Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market offered rates for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit of major U.S. money center banks having a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity and in a Representative Amount: the rates offered as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Interest Determination Date, by three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in New York City, as selected by the Calculation Agent.

(iii) If fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (ii) above, the CD Rate will be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Base Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The Base Rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(h) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(i) Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate is the Federal Funds Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate, on the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “Federal Funds Interest Determination Date”), for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)”, as that rate is displayed on Moneyline Telerate Page 120. If the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the Federal Funds Rate:

(i) If the rate described above is not displayed on Moneyline Telerate Page 120 at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date (unless the

calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate described above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying that rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)”.

(ii) If the rate described in clause (i) above is not displayed on Moneyline Telerate Page 120 and does not appear in H.15 (519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from one of those sources at that time), the Federal Funds Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight, U.S. dollar federal funds arranged, before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, by three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.

(iii) If fewer than three brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in clause (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The interest rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(i) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(j) Determination of 11th District Rate. If the Base Rate is the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate (the “11th District Rate”), the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the 11th District Rate on the 11th District Interest Determination Date (as defined in Section 3(n) below) corresponding to such Interest Reset Date. The 11th District Rate on any 11th District Interest Determination Date shall be the rate equal to the monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately before such date, as displayed on Moneyline Telerate Page 7058 under the heading “11th District” as of 11:00 A.M., San Francisco time, on such date. If the 11th District Rate cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures will apply in determining the 11th District Rate:

(i) If the rate described above does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 7058 on such 11th District Interest Determination Date, then the 11th District Rate on such date will be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by institutions that are members of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan District for the calendar month immediately preceding such date, as most recently announced by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco as such monthly weighted average cost of funds.

(ii) If the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco fails to announce the cost of funds described in clause (i) above on or before such 11th District Interest Determination Date, the 11th District Rate that takes effect on such Interest Reset Date will be the 11th District Rate in effect on such 11th District Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).

The interest rate determined in accordance with this Section 3(j) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(k) Minimum and Maximum Limits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rate at which interest accrues on this Security (i) shall not at any time be higher than the Maximum Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof, in each case on an accrual basis, and (ii) shall not at any time be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

(l) Calculation of Interest. Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date or at the Maturity of the principal hereof will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the date of such Maturity, as the case may be. Accrued interest from the date of issue or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent by multiplying the Principal Amount by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day shall be expressed as a decimal and computed by dividing the interest rate (also expressed as a decimal) in effect on such day by 360, if the Base Rate is the Commercial Paper Rate, Prime Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR, CD Rate, Federal Funds Rate or 11th District Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or CMT Rate.

All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the next higher or lower one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (e.g., 9.876541% (or .09876541) being rounded down to 9.87654% (or .0987654) and 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded up to 9.87655% (or .0987655) ). All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent, in the case of U.S. dollars, or to the nearest corresponding hundredth of a unit, in the case of a currency other than U.S. dollars, with one-half cent or one-half of a corresponding hundredth of a unit or more being rounded upward.

(m) Calculation Agent and Exchange Rate Agent. The Company has initially appointed the institution named on the face of this Security as Calculation Agent

and Exchange Rate Agent, to act as such agents with respect to this Security, but the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any other Affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time. The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment. Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, Affiliates of any such agent or Affiliates of the Company.

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent or the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company. Neither the Calculation Agent nor the Exchange Rate Agent shall have any liability therefor.
