(1) Interests in a Global Security will be exchangeable for Definitive Securities with Coupons, if any, attached: (i) as to Permanent Global Notes or Permanent Global Certificates in bearer form, on not less than 60 calendar days’ written notice from Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (acting on the instructions of any Holder of an interest in the applicable Global Security), (ii) in the case of Global Notes, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Conditions) occurs and is continuing, (iii) if the Issuer is notified that either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg has been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 calendar days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) after the original issuance of the Securities or has announced an intention permanently to cease business or has in fact done so and no alternative clearance system approved by the Holders is available, or (iv) if the Issuer, after notice to the Agent, determines to issue the applicable Securities in Definitive form. Upon the occurrence of these events, the Agent shall deliver the relevant Definitive Securities in accordance with the terms of the relevant Global Security. For this purpose, the Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Issuer:

(a) to authenticate such Definitive Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

(b) to deliver such Definitive Securities to or to the order of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or the requesting Holder(s), as applicable, in exchange for such Global Security.

The Agent shall notify the Issuer forthwith upon receipt of a written request for issue of Definitive Securities in accordance with the provisions of a Global Security and this Agreement (and the aggregate amount of such Temporary Global Note, Temporary Global Certificate or Permanent Global Security, as the case may be, to be exchanged in connection therewith).

(2) The Issuer undertakes to deliver to the Agent sufficient numbers of executed Definitive Securities with, if applicable, Receipts, Coupons and Talons attached to enable the Agent to comply with its obligations under this Clause 5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Agent shall not deliver a Bearer Definitive Security unless a certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership is furnished or has previously been received. Any such certification shall contain all certifications and information set forth in the form set out in Schedule 13 hereto, and shall be retained by the Principal Agent, and a copy shall be furnished to the Issuer, in accordance with Clause 4(1)(c) above.

Terms of Issue

(1) The Agent shall cause all Temporary Global Securities, Permanent Global Securities and Definitive Securities that are delivered to and held by it under this Agreement to be maintained in safe custody and shall ensure that such Securities are issued only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the relevant Global Security and Conditions.

(2) Subject to the procedures set out in the Procedures Memorandum, for the purposes of Clause 3(1), the Agent is entitled to treat a telephone, e-mail or facsimile communication from a person purporting to be (and who the Agent believes in good faith to be) the authorized representative of the Issuer named in the lists referred to in, or notified pursuant to, Clause 17(7) as sufficient instructions and authority of the Issuer for the Agent to act in accordance with Clause 3(1).

(3) If a person who has signed on behalf of the Issuer any Security not yet issued but held by the Agent in accordance with Clause 3(1) ceases to be authorized as described in Clause 17(7), the Agent (unless the Issuer gives notice to the Agent that Securities signed by that person do not constitute valid and binding obligations

of the Issuer or otherwise until replacements have been provided to the Agent) shall continue to have authority to issue any such Securities, and the Issuer hereby warrants to the Agent that such Securities shall be, unless notified as aforesaid, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer. Promptly upon such person ceasing to be authorized, the Issuer shall provide the Agent with replacement Securities. Upon receipt of such replacement Securities, the Agent shall cancel and destroy the Securities held by it which are signed by such person and shall provide to the Issuer a confirmation of destruction in respect thereof specifying the Securities so cancelled and destroyed.

(4) If the Agent pays an amount (the “Advance”) to the Issuer on the basis that a payment (the “Payment”) has been, or will be, received from a Dealer and if the Payment is not received by the Agent on the date the Agent pays the Issuer, the Agent shall notify the Issuer by facsimile or e-mail that the Payment has not been received and the Issuer shall repay to the Agent the Advance and shall pay interest on the Advance (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) from (and including) the date such Advance is made to (but excluding) the earlier of repayment of the Advance and receipt by the Agent of the Payment (at a rate quoted at that time by the Agent as its cost of funding the Advance).

(5) Except in the case of issues where the Agent does not act as receiving bank for the Issuer in respect of the purchase price of the Securities being issued, if on the relevant Issue Date, a Dealer does not pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Security (the “Defaulted Security”) and, as a result, the Defaulted Security remains in the Agent’s distribution account with Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg after such Issue Date, the Agent will continue to hold the Defaulted Security pursuant to the order of the Issuer. The Agent shall notify the Issuer forthwith of the failure of the Dealer to pay the full purchase price due from it in respect of any Defaulted Security and, subsequently, shall notify the Issuer forthwith upon receipt from the Dealer of the full purchase price in respect of such Defaulted Security and to pay to the Issuer the amount so received.

Payments and Deliveries

(1) Subject to sub-clause (12) below, the Agent shall advise the Issuer as soon as shall be practicable preceding the date on which any payment is to be made to the Agent pursuant to this sub-clause (1) of the payment amount, value date and payment instructions and the Issuer will before 10:00 a.m. London time on each date on which any payment in respect of any Securities issued by it becomes due, transfer to an account specified by the Agent such amount in the relevant currency as shall be sufficient for the purposes of such payment in funds settled through such payment system as the Agent and the Issuer may agree.

(2) The Issuer will ensure that no later than 4:00 p.m. (London time) on the second Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the date on which any payment is to be made to the Agent pursuant to sub-clause (1), the Agent shall receive from the paying bank of the Issuer an irrevocable confirmation in the form of an authenticated SWIFT message that such payment shall be made. For the purposes of this Clause 7, “Business Day” means a day which is both:

(a) a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and New York, New York and any additional business center(s) specified in the relevant Final Terms (“Additional Business Center(s)”); and

(b) either (1) for any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centers (as defined below) of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than London) or (2) for any sum payable in euro, a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (“TARGET2 System”) or any successor thereto is operating. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, the principal financial center of any Specified Currency for the purpose of this Clause 7 shall be the relevant financial centers (if any) specified for the relevant Specified Currency in Section 1.5 or Section 1.6 of the ISDA Definitions, except that the principal financial centers for Australian Dollars shall be Melbourne

and Sydney, the principal financial center for Canadian Dollars shall be Toronto and the principal financial center for New Zealand Dollars shall be Wellington.

(3) The Agent shall ensure that payments of principal, interest or any other amount in respect of any Temporary Global Note or Temporary Global Certificate will be made only to the extent that certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury regulations has been received from Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg in accordance with the terms thereof. Any such certification shall contain all certifications and information set forth in the form set out in Schedule 13, and be retained by the Principal Agent, and a copy shall be furnished to the Offerors in accordance with Clause 4(1)(c).

(4) Subject to the receipt by the Agent of payment as provided in sub-clause (1) above, the Agent or the relevant Paying Agent shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts due in respect of the Securities on behalf of the Issuer in the manner provided in the Conditions. If any payment provided for in sub-clause (l) is made late but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent and each Paying Agent shall nevertheless make payments in respect of the Securities as aforesaid following receipt by it of such payment.

(5) If for any reason the Agent considers in its sole discretion that the amounts to be received by the Agent pursuant to sub-clause (1) will be, or the amounts actually received by it pursuant thereto are, insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all payments then falling due in respect of the Securities, neither the Agent nor any Paying Agent shall be obliged to pay any such claims until the Agent has received the full amount of all such payments. Should the Agent or any Paying Agent elect not to make payment of amounts falling due in respect of the Securities as aforesaid, it shall advise the Issuer of any such decision as soon as practicable by telephone with confirmation by facsimile or e-mail.

(6) Without prejudice to sub-clauses (4) and (5), if the Agent pays any amounts to the Holders, Receiptholders or Couponholders or to any Paying Agent at a time when it has not received payment in full in respect of the relevant Securities in accordance with sub-clause (1) (the excess of the amounts so paid over the amounts so received being the “Shortfall”), the Issuer will, in addition to paying amounts due under sub-clause (l), pay to the Agent on demand interest (at a rate which represents the Agent’s cost of funding the Shortfall) on the Shortfall (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) until the receipt in full by the Agent of the Shortfall.

(7) The Agent shall on demand promptly reimburse each Paying Agent for payments in respect of Securities properly made by such Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Conditions unless the Agent has notified the Paying Agent, prior to the opening of business in the location of the office of the Paying Agent through which payment in respect of the Securities can be made prior to the day on which such Agent has to give payment instructions in respect of the due date of a payment in respect of the Securities, that the Agent does not expect to receive sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts falling due in respect of such Securities.

(8) If the Agent pays out on or after the due date therefor, or becomes liable to pay out, funds on the assumption that a corresponding payment by the Issuer has been or will be made and such payment has in fact not been made by the Issuer, then the Issuer shall on demand reimburse the Agent for the relevant amount, and pay interest to the Agent on such amount from the date on which it is paid out to the date of reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the cost to the Agent of funding the amount paid out, as certified by the Agent and expressed as a rate per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the General Note Conditions as to subordination shall not apply to the Issuer’s obligations under this sub-clause (8).

(9) While any Securities are represented by a Global Security or Global Securities, all payments or deliveries due in respect of such Securities shall be made to, or to the order of, the Holder of the Global Security or Global Securities, subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Global Security or Global Securities. In the case of a Global Note which is a CGN, a Global Certificate or a Global Warrant, the Paying Agent to which any Global Security was presented for the purpose of making such payment shall cause the appropriate Schedule to the relevant Global Security to be annotated so as to evidence the amounts and dates of such payments of principal, interest or other amounts, as applicable. In the case of any Global Note which is a NGN, the Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such payment.

(10) All payments in respect of any Security (including payments by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantees) shall be made outside the United States and its possessions and shall not be made by transfer to an account at a bank, or delivered to an address, located inside the United States or its possessions, by any office or agency of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Principal Agent, or any Paying Agent. Terms used in the preceding sentence shall have the meanings given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder. No payments shall be made to a U.S. person.

(11) If the amount of principal, interest or other amounts then due for payment is not paid in full (otherwise than by reason of a deduction required by law to be made therefrom), (i) the Paying Agent to which a Security is presented for the purpose of making such payment shall, unless the Security is a NGN, make a record of such shortfall on the Security and such record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence that the payment in question has not to that extent been made or (ii) in the case of any Global Note which is a NGN, the Agent shall instruct Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect such shortfall in payment.

(12) If any payments or deliveries due on any Physical Delivery Notes, as defined in the General Note Conditions, or Physical Delivery Instruments, as defined in the General Instrument Conditions, including pursuant to sub-clause 10 above, are required to be paid by delivery of any asset other than cash, then neither the Agent nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible hereunder for the delivery of such non-cash consideration. Instead, the delivery of such non-cash consideration shall be effected or procured by the Delivery Agent in the manner provided by the Delivery Agency Agreement upon receipt of an Asset Transfer Notice, an Exercise Notice or a Certificate Settlement Notice, as applicable, from the relevant Holder in the manner contemplated by the General Note Conditions or the General Instrument Conditions, as applicable. No Physical Delivery Amount shall be delivered in the United States or its possessions, transferred to an account at a bank or delivered to an address located inside the United States or its possessions, or to, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (the term U.S. person as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). For purposes of taking any action required to be taken by the Agent hereunder, including, but not limited to, any notations required to be made on the Securities, the Agent may rely upon any notification delivered to it by the Delivery Agent pursuant to the Delivery Agency Agreement as to the amounts delivered by the Delivery Agent thereunder (or any shortfall, as the case may be) on any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Settlement Date, or any other relevant payment date.

Determinations and Notifications in Respect of Securities

(1) The Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations (howsoever described) as it is required to do under the Conditions, all subject to and in accordance with the Conditions, provided that certain calculations with respect to the Securities, and associated publication or notification, shall be made by the relevant Calculation Agent in accordance with the relevant Calculation Agency Agreement.

(2) For the purposes of monitoring the aggregate principal amount of Securities issued under the Program, the Agent shall determine the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the principal amount of each issue of Securities denominated in another currency, each issue of Partly Paid Notes, Index Linked Securities, Share Linked Securities, Inflation Linked Securities, Commodity Linked Securities, FX Linked Securities, Hybrid Securities, Securities Linked to other Underlying Assets and Dual Currency Notes, as follows:

(a) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be determined as of the Agreement Date for such Securities on the basis of the spot rate for the sale of the U.S. Dollar against the purchase of the relevant currency quoted by a foreign exchange dealer selected by the Issuer on the relevant day of calculation;

(b) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Index Linked Securities, Share Linked Securities, Inflation Linked Securities, Commodity Linked Securities, FX Linked Securities, Hybrid Securities, Dual Currency Notes and Securities Linked to other Underlying Assets (in each case, other than Warrants), shall be calculated as specified above by reference to the original nominal amount of such Securities;

(c) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Partly Paid Notes shall be determined as specified above by reference to the original principal amount of such Notes regardless of the amount paid on the Notes; and

(d) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Zero Coupon Notes and other Securities that are issued at a discount or premium (other than a de minimis discount in the ordinary course), as well as Warrants, shall be calculated as specified above by reference to the net proceeds received by the Issuer for the relevant issue.

Notice of Any Withholding or Deduction

(1) If the Issuer, in respect of any payment under the Securities, or the Guarantor, in respect of any payment under the Guarantees, is compelled to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall give written notice thereof to the Principal Agent and any Paying Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to make such withholding or deduction and shall give to the Principal Agent and any Paying Agent such information as it shall require to enable it to comply with such requirement, and the Principal Agent and Paying Agent shall comply with such requirement.

(2) Prior to the first payment on any Security, the Principal Agent shall have submitted to the Issuer, or shall have on file with the Issuer, a properly executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, and any Paying Agent with respect to such Security shall have submitted to the Issuer, or shall have on file with the Issuer, such IRS form as the Issuer shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

(3) The Principal Agent and any Paying Agent with respect to a Security shall report payments to the Security holders and the IRS as appropriate under U.S. law.

(4) The Principal Agent and any Paying Agent with respect to a Security shall provide the Issuer with any information required by the Issuer in connection with the Principal Agent’s and Paying Agent’s compliance with the tax requirements of this Clause 9.

(5) The Issuer, Principal Agent and any Paying Agent shall agree on applicable procedures with respect to any Registered Security.

Optional Early Redemption, Put Notices, Certificate Settlement Notices, Asset Transfer Notices and Exercise Notices

(1) If so permitted by the applicable Final Terms, and subject always to the provisions set forth in the Conditions and the applicable Final Terms, if the Issuer decides to redeem any outstanding Securities (in whole or in part) for the time being outstanding prior to their Maturity Date, Expiration Date or Settlement Date, as applicable, or (if applicable) the Interest Payment Date falling in the redemption month (as the case may be) in accordance with the Conditions, the Issuer shall give 7 calendar days’ written notice of such decision to the Agent on or prior to the date on which the Issuer will give notice of such redemption to the Holders in accordance with the Conditions in order to enable the Agent to undertake its obligations herein and in the Conditions.

(2) If only some of the Securities of like tenor and of the same Series are to be redeemed on such date, the Agent shall make the required drawing in accordance with the Conditions but shall give the Issuer reasonable notice of the time and place proposed for such drawing. Where partial redemptions are to be effected when there are Definitive Securities outstanding, the Principal Agent will select by lot the Securities to be redeemed from the outstanding Securities in compliance with all applicable laws and stock exchange requirements and deemed

by the Agent to be appropriate and fair. Where partial redemptions are to be effected when there are no Definitive Securities outstanding, the rights of Holders will be governed by the standard provisions of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (to be reflected in the records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as either a pool factor or a reduction in nominal amount, at their discretion). Notice of any partial redemption and, when there are Definitive Securities outstanding, of the serial numbers of the Securities so drawn, will be given by the Agent to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Agreement.

(3) On behalf of and at the expense of the Issuer, the Agent shall publish the notice required in connection with any such redemption and shall at the same time also publish a separate list of the serial numbers of any Securities previously drawn and not presented for redemption. Such notice shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption amount, the record date, the manner in which redemption will be effected and, in the case of a partial redemption, the serial numbers of the Securities to be redeemed and the nominal amounts of the Securities to be redeemed. Such notice will be published in accordance with the Conditions. The Agent also will notify the other Paying Agents of any date fixed for redemption of any Securities.

(4) Immediately prior to the date on which any notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders, the Issuer shall deliver to the Agent a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that all conditions precedent to such redemption have occurred or been satisfied and shall comply with all notice requirements provided for in the Conditions.

In the event of exercise of any other option, each Paying Agent shall take steps required of it in the Conditions. If, prior to such due date for its redemption, such Note becomes immediately due and payable or if upon due presentation payment of such redemption monies is improperly withheld or refused, the applicable Paying Agent shall post such Note (together with any such Coupons, if any) by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant Holder of such Note unless such Holder has otherwise requested and paid the costs of such insurance to the relevant Paying Agent at the time of depositing the Notes at such address outside the United States and its possessions as may have been given by such Holder in the Put Notice. At the end of each period for the exercise of such option, each Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Agent of the principal amount of the Notes in respect of which such option has been exercised with it, together with their serial numbers, and the Agent shall promptly notify such details to the Issuer.

(6) Each Paying Agent will keep a stock of Asset Transfer Notices (as defined in the General Note Conditions) for Physical Delivery Notes held outside of a clearing system in the form set out in Schedule 17, which shall be delivered in accordance with General Note Condition 5(f)(A)(1), and will make such notices available on demand to Holders of such Notes. Each Paying Agent shall promptly transfer a copy of any valid Asset Transfer Notice that it receives to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Principal Agent. Upon receipt of any Note deposited in connection with the delivery of any Physical Delivery Amount as to a Physical Delivery Note, the Paying Agent with which such Note is deposited shall hold such Note (together with any Coupons, if any, relating to it and deposited with it) on behalf of the depositing Holder of such Note (but shall not, except as provided below, release it) until the due date for delivery of the applicable Physical Delivery Amount of the relevant Note, when, subject as provided below and Clause 7(12) above, it shall present such Note (and any such Coupons, if any), together with the serial numbers of the applicable Notes, to itself, the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Delivery Agent for delivery of the Physical Delivery Amount due thereon in accordance with the Conditions. If, prior to such due

date for delivery, such Note becomes immediately due and payable or if upon due presentation, delivery or payment of the Physical Delivery Amount or any monies is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying Agent shall post such Note (together with any such Coupons, if any) by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant Holder of such Note unless such Holder has otherwise requested and paid the costs of such insurance to the relevant Paying Agent at the time of depositing the Notes at such address outside the United States and its possessions as may have been given by such Holder in the Asset Transfer Notice.

Each Paying Agent shall promptly transfer a copy of any valid Certificate Settlement Notice that it receives to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Principal Agent. Upon receipt of any Certificate deposited for settlement in accordance with the Conditions, the Paying Agent with which such Certificate is deposited shall hold such Certificate (together with any Coupons, if any, relating to it and deposited with it) on behalf of the depositing Holder of such Certificates (but shall not, except as provided below, release it) until the settlement date of the relevant Certificate, when, subject as provided below and Clause 7(12) above, it shall present such Certificate (and any such Coupons, if any) to itself, the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Delivery Agent (if applicable) for payment of the amount due or deliverable thereon together with any interest and any other amounts due or deliverable on such date in accordance with the Conditions and shall pay or deliver such amounts in accordance with General Instrument Condition 8(b), and if applicable, the directions of the Holder of the Certificates contained in the Certificate Settlement Notice. If, prior to such settlement date, such Certificate becomes immediately due and payable or if upon due presentation, payment of any amounts due or deliverable or any money is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying Agent concerned shall post such Certificate (together with any such Coupons, if any) by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant Holder of such Certificate unless such Holder has otherwise requested and paid the costs of such insurance to the relevant Paying Agent at the time of depositing the Certificates at such address outside the United States and its possessions as may have been given by such Holder in the Certificate Settlement Notice. At the end of each Certificate Settlement Notice Period (as defined in General Instrument Condition 8(a)), each Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Agent of the number of Certificates that have been redeemed, together with their serial numbers, and the Agent shall promptly notify such details to the Issuer.

(8) Each Paying Agent will keep a stock of Exercise Notices (as defined in the General Instrument Conditions) for Definitive Warrants held outside of a clearing system in the form set out in Schedule 18, which shall be delivered in accordance with General Instrument Condition 6(a), and will make such notices available on demand to Holders of such Warrants.

If upon due presentation, payment of any amounts due or deliverable or any money is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying Agent concerned shall post such Warrant by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant Holder of the Warrant unless such Holder has otherwise requested and paid the costs of such insurance to the relevant Paying Agent at the time of depositing the Warrants at such address outside the United States and its possessions as may have been given by such Holder in the Exercise Notice. At the end of the Exercise Period (as defined in General Instrument Condition 5) for any Warrants, each Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Agent of the number of Warrants that have been exercised, together with their serial numbers (if any), and the Agent shall promptly notify such details to the Issuer.

(10) The Principal Agent shall keep a full and complete record of all Securities and of their exercise, redemption and cancellation in accordance with this Clause 10 and make such records available at all reasonable times to the Issuer and the Guarantor and any persons authorized by it for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom.

(11) The Principal Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the date on which all the Securities represented by any Global Security have been exercised or redeemed or have expired or have become null and void and upon delivery by or on behalf of the common depositary (in the case of a Global Note issued in CGN form or an Instrument) or the common safekeeper (in the case of a Global Note issued in NGN form) of the relevant Global Security to the Principal Agent, cancel the relevant Global Security or cause it to be cancelled and thereafter, unless otherwise instructed by the Issuer, destroy the relevant Global Security and, upon written request of the Issuer, certify such destruction to the Issuer.

(12) The Principal Agent shall make such arrangements (including the notification of the relevant clearing system) as are necessary to collect, on behalf of the Issuer, any taxes or duties as specified in the Conditions incurred by the Issuer in connection with the exercise or redemption of the Securities, provided that the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Agent of the relevant taxes or duties which will be incurred by the Issuer on an exercise or redemption of Securities.

Payment hereunder is guaranteed by the Guarantor, as set forth in the Senior Guarantee Agreement or the Subordinated Guarantee Agreement, as applicable, each executed by the Guarantor on January 16, 2007.

If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note shall be the aggregate amount from time to time entered in the records of both Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg” and, together with Euroclear, the “Relevant Clearing Systems”). The records of the Relevant Clearing Systems (which expression in this Global Note means the records that each Relevant Clearing System holds for its customers which reflect the amount of such customer’s interest in the Notes) shall be conclusive evidence of the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note and, for these purposes, a statement issued by a Relevant Clearing System (which statement shall be made available to the bearer upon request) stating the

1-2

nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note at any time shall be conclusive evidence of the records of the Relevant Clearing System at that time.

If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final Terms or, if lower, the nominal amount most recently recorded by or on behalf of the Issuer, in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2.

On any redemption, payment of an Installment Amount, delivery or purchase and cancellation of any of the Notes represented by this Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such redemption, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered pro rata in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems and, upon any such entry being made, the nominal amount of the Notes recorded in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems and represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or by the amount of such installment so paid; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such redemption, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2 hereto recording any such redemption, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) and shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer. Upon any such redemption, payment of an Installment Amount, delivery or purchase and cancellation, the principal amount of such Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or the amount of such Installment Amount.

Prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below), all payments (if any) on this Global Note will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there is presented to the Agent by Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear, a certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 13 to the Agency Agreement, to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a particular principal amount of the Notes (as shown by its records) a certificate in or substantially in the form of the certificate as set out in Schedule 14 to the Agency Agreement. Payments or deliveries due in respect of Notes for the time being represented by this Global Note shall be made to the bearer of this Global Note and each payment so made will discharge the Issuer’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall not affect such discharge. After the Exchange Date, the bearer of this Global Note will not be entitled to receive any payment hereon.

On or after the Exchange Date (as defined below) this Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part (free of charge) for, as specified in the Final Terms, either (a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, interests recorded in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems in a Permanent Global Note or, if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, a Permanent Global Note, which, in either case, is in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 2 to the Agency Agreement (together with the Final Terms attached to it), in each case upon notice being given by a Relevant Clearing System acting on the instructions of any Holder of an interest in this Global Note or, (b) under certain limited circumstances, security printed Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Schedules 3, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons and the Final Terms have been incorporated on such Definitive Notes) and subject to such notice period as is specified in the Final Terms. The “Exchange Date” for this Global Note will normally be the 40th calendar day after the later of the date on which the Issuer receives the proceeds of the sale of the Global Note and the closing date for the Global Note. However, if the Issuer, a Dealer or any distributor, as defined in Treasury Regulation Sec. 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(4), holds a Note represented by this Global Note as part of an unsold allotment or subscription for more than 40 calendar days after the later of the date on which the Issuer receives the proceeds of

1-3

the sale of the Global Note and the closing date for the Global Note, the Exchange Date with respect to such Note will be the day after the date on which the Issuer, Dealer or distributor sells such Note.

This Global Note may be exchanged by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in London. The Issuer shall procure that Definitive Notes and interests in the Permanent Global Note shall be so issued and delivered and (in the case of the Permanent Global Note where the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note) recorded in the records of the Relevant Clearing System in exchange for only that portion of this Global Note in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 13 to the Agency Agreement, to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a beneficial interest in a particular principal amount of the Notes (as shown by its records) a certificate from such person in or substantially in the form of the certificate set out in Schedule 14 to the Agency Agreement, unless such certificate has already been given in accordance with the above provisions. The aggregate principal amount of interests in a Permanent Global Note issued upon an exchange of this Global Note subject to the terms hereof, will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note submitted by the bearer hereof for exchange (to the extent that such principal amount does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note).

On an exchange of the whole of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be surrendered to the Agent. On an exchange of only part of this Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered pro rata in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered in the relevant space in Schedule 2 hereto recording such exchange and shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer and the principal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the principal amount so exchanged.

If, following the issue of a Permanent Global Note in exchange for some of the Notes represented by this Global Note, further Notes represented by this Global Note are to be exchanged for interests in a Permanent Global Note, such exchange may be effected, subject as provided herein, without the issue of a new Permanent Global Note, (i) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, recording the details of such increase in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems, or (ii) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note, by the Issuer or its agent endorsing Schedule 2 of the Permanent Global Note previously issued to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of such Permanent Global Note by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Permanent Global Note which would otherwise have been issued on such exchange.

Until the exchange of the whole of this Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer hereof shall in all respects (except as otherwise provided herein) be entitled to the same benefits as if such bearer were the bearer of Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Schedules 3, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, to the Agency Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Temporary Global Note, the Issuer irrevocably agrees, for the benefit of such Holders and their successors and assigns, that each Holder or its successors or assigns may file without the consent and to the exclusion of the bearer hereof, any claim, take any action or institute any proceeding to enforce, directly against the Issuer, the obligation of the Issuer hereunder to pay any amount due or to become due in respect of each Note represented by this Temporary Global Note which is credited to such Holder’s securities account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg without the production of this Temporary Global Note; provided that the bearer hereof shall not theretofore have filed a claim, taken action or instituted proceedings to enforce the same in respect of such Note.

Until exchanged in full for the Permanent Global Note, this Temporary Global Note in all respects shall be entitled to the same benefits under, and subject to the same terms and conditions of, the Agency Agreement as the

1-4

Permanent Global Note authenticated and delivered thereunder, except that neither the Holder hereof nor the beneficial owners of this Temporary Global Note shall be entitled to receive payment hereon on or after the Exchange Date.

This Temporary Global Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

This Temporary Global Note shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been duly signed by or on behalf of the Agent acting in accordance with the Agency Agreement. If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility, this Global Note shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until it is duly effectuated by the entity appointed as common safekeeper by the Relevant Clearing Systems.

PERMANENT GLOBAL NOTE


COMMON CODE:				ISIN:

This Global Note is a Permanent Global Note in bearer form without interest coupons in respect of a duly authorized Series of Notes (the “Notes”) of B of A Issuance B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (the “Issuer”) described, and having the provisions specified, in the applicable Final Terms (the “Final Terms”), which provisions are incorporated herein. References herein to the General Note Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in Schedule 12-1, including any applicable Product Annex as set out in Schedule 12-3, to the Agency Agreement (as defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set out in the Final Terms and which are incorporated herein by reference, but in the event of any conflict between the provisions of those Schedules and the information set out in the Final Terms, the Final Terms will prevail.

Words and expressions defined or set out in the General Note Conditions and/or the Final Terms shall bear the same meaning when used herein.

This Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the General Note Conditions and an Amended and Restated Agency Agreement (the “Agency Agreement,” which expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time) dated as of [•] 2008 and made among B of A Issuance B.V., as Issuer, Bank of America Corporation (the “Guarantor”), The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Agent”), The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A., and the other agents named therein.

2-2

by a Relevant Clearing System (which statement shall be made available to the bearer upon request) stating the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note at any time shall be conclusive evidence of the records of the Relevant Clearing System at that time.

If the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final Terms or, if lower, the nominal amount most recently envisaged by or on behalf of the Issuer, in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2.

On any redemption, payment of an Installment Amount, delivery or purchase and cancellation of, any of the Notes represented by this Global Note, the Issuer shall procure that:

The Notes represented by this Global Note were represented originally by one or more Temporary Global Notes (each Tranche of Notes comprised in the Series of Notes to which this Global Note relates having been represented originally by one Temporary Global Note). Unless any such Temporary Global Note was exchanged in whole on the issue hereof, an interest in such Temporary Global Note may be further exchanged, on the terms and conditions set out therein, for an interest in this Global Note. The Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered in Schedule 2 hereto to reflect the increase in the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note due to each such exchange, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be increased for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed.

In certain circumstances further notes may be issued which are intended on issue to be consolidated and form a single Series with the Notes. In such circumstances the Issuer shall procure that:

(a) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note, details of such further notes may be entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems such that the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note may be increased by the amount of such further notes so issued; or

(b) if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a Classic Global Note, details of such further notes shall be entered in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2 hereto recording such exchange and shall be signed by or on

2-3

behalf of the Issuer, whereupon the nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be increased by the nominal amount of any such Temporary Global Note so exchanged.

This Global Note may be exchanged for security-printed Definitive Notes, under the circumstances and in accordance with the terms provided for in the General Note Conditions, and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Schedules 3, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talon and the Final Terms have been incorporated on such Definitive Notes). Subject as aforesaid and to at least 60 calendar days’ written notice expiring after the Exchange Date (as defined in the Temporary Global Note referred to above) being given to the Agent by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, acting on the instructions of any Holder of an interest in the Global Note, this exchange will be made upon presentation of this Global Note by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in London at the office of the Agent specified above. The aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes issued upon an exchange of this Global Note will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note submitted by the bearer hereof for exchange (to the extent that such principal amount does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of this Global Note entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems (if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note)) or most recently entered in the relevant column in Part II, III or IV of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2 hereto (if the applicable Final Terms indicate that this Global Note is not intended to be a New Global Note).

On an exchange of the whole of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be surrendered to the Agent.

Until the exchange of the whole of this Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer hereof in all respects shall be entitled to the same benefits as if such bearer were the bearer of Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons in the form set out in Schedules 3, 9, 10 and 11, respectively, to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Coupons, Receipts and/or Talons and the Final Terms have been incorporated on such Definitive Notes).

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Permanent Global Note, the Holder of this Permanent Global Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments in respect to the Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note and the Issuer will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the Holder of this Permanent Global Note in respect of each amount so paid. Any failure to make the entries referred to in above shall not affect such discharge. Each of the persons shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the beneficial holder of a particular principal amount of Notes represented by this Permanent Global Note must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for such holder’s share of each payment so made by the Issuer to, or to the order of, the Holder of this Permanent Global Note. No person other than the Holder of this Permanent Global Note shall have any claim against the Issuer in respect of any payments or deliveries due on this Permanent Global Note.

This Permanent Global Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

This Permanent Global Note shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been duly signed by or on behalf of the Agent acting in accordance with the Agency Agreement.

TEMPORARY GLOBAL CERTIFICATE


COMMON CODE:				ISIN:

This Global Certificate is a Temporary Global Certificate in bearer form without interest coupons in respect of a duly authorized Series of Certificates (the “Certificates”) of B of A Issuance B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (the “Issuer”) described, and having the provisions specified, in the applicable Final Terms (the “Final Terms”), which provisions are incorporated herein. References herein to the General Instrument Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of the Instruments as set out in Schedule 12-2, including any applicable Product Annex as set out in Schedule 12-3, to the Agency Agreement (as defined below) as modified and supplemented by the information set out in the Final Terms and which are incorporated herein by reference, but in the event of any conflict between the provisions of those Schedules and the information set out in the Final Terms, the Final Terms will prevail.

Words and expressions defined or set out in the General Instrument Conditions and/or the Final Terms shall bear the same meaning when used herein.

This Global Certificate is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the General Instrument Conditions and an Amended and Restated Agency Agreement (the “Agency Agreement,” which expression shall be construed as a reference to that agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time) dated as of [•] and made among B of A Issuance B.V., as Issuer, Bank of America Corporation (the “Guarantor”), The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Agent”), The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A. and the other agents named therein.

For value received, the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the General Instrument Conditions, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on the Settlement Date, on any Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, or on such earlier date as any of the Certificates represented by this Global Certificate may become due and payable in accordance with the General Instrument Conditions, the amount payable or deliverable, as the case may be, on redemption of such Certificates then represented by this Global Certificate becoming so due and payable, and to pay interest (if any) or to deliver any Physical Delivery Amount (if any) on the Certificates from time to time represented by this Global Certificate calculated and payable as provided in the General Instrument Conditions together with other sums payable under the General Instrument Conditions, upon presentation and following the delivery of a certificate settlement notice as provided in the Agency Agreement, and, at final settlement, surrender of this Global Certificate to or to the order of the Agent, or any of the other paying agents located outside the United States and its possessions (except as provided in the General Instrument Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer in respect of the Certificates, but in each case subject to the requirements as to certification provided herein.

Payment hereunder is guaranteed by the Guarantor, as set forth in the Senior Guarantee Agreement executed by the Guarantor on January 16, 2007.

The Notional Amount of the Certificates represented by this Global Certificate shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final Terms or, if lower, the Notional Amount most recently recorded by or on behalf of the Issuer, in the relevant column in Part II or III of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2 hereto.

On any settlement or purchase and cancellation of any of the Certificates represented by this Global Certificate, the Issuer shall procure that details of such settlement, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered in the relevant column in Part II or III of Schedule 1 or in Schedule 2 hereto recording any such settlement, payment, delivery or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) and shall be

4-3

signed by or on behalf of the Issuer. Upon any such settlement or purchase and cancellation, the number of such Certificates represented by this Global Certificate shall be reduced by the number of Certificates so redeemed or purchased and cancelled.

Prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below), all payments (if any) on this Global Certificate will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there is presented to the Agent by Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”), a certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 13 to the Agency Agreement, to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a particular Notional Amount of the Certificates (as shown by its records) a certificate in or substantially in the form of the certificate as set out in Schedule 14 to the Agency Agreement. Payments or deliveries due in respect of Certificates for the time being represented by this Global Certificate shall be made to the bearer of this Global Certificate and each payment so made will discharge the Issuer’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall not affect such discharge. After the Exchange Date, the bearer of this Global Certificate will not be entitled to receive any payment hereon.

On or after the Exchange Date (as defined below) this Global Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part (free of charge) for, as specified in the Final Terms, either (a) a Permanent Global Certificate in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 5 to the Agency Agreement (together with the Final Terms attached to it), in each case upon notice being given by a Relevant Clearing System acting on the instructions of any Holder of an interest in this Global Certificate or, (b) under certain limited circumstances, security printed Definitive Certificates and, (if applicable) Coupons in the form set out in Schedules 6 or 9, respectively, to the Agency Agreement (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Certificates and (if applicable) Coupons and the Final Terms have been incorporated on such Definitive Certificates) and subject to such notice period as is specified in the Final Terms. The “Exchange Date” for this Global Certificate will normally be the 40th day after the later of the date on which the Issuer receives the proceeds of the sale of the Global Certificate and the closing date for the Global Certificate. However, if the Issuer, a Dealer or any distributor, as defined in Treasury Regulation Sec. 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(4), holds a Certificate represented by this Global Certificate as part of an unsold allotment or subscription for more than 40 days after the later of the date on which the Issuer receives the proceeds of the sale of the Global Certificate and the closing date for the Global Certificate, the Exchange Date with respect to such Certificate will be the day after the date on which the Issuer, Dealer or distributor sells such Certificate.

This Global Certificate may be exchanged by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in London. The Issuer shall procure that Definitive Certificates and interests in the Permanent Global Certificate shall be so issued and delivered in exchange for only that portion of this Global Certificate in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 13 to the Agency Agreement, to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a beneficial interest in a particular Notional Amount of the Certificates (as shown by its records) a certificate from such person in or substantially in the form of the certificate set out in Schedule 14 to the Agency Agreement, unless such certificate has already been given in accordance with the above provisions. The aggregate Notional Amount of interests in a Permanent Global Certificate issued upon an exchange of this Global Certificate subject to the terms hereof, will be equal to the aggregate Notional Amount of this Global Certificate submitted by the bearer hereof for exchange (to the extent that such Notional Amount does not exceed the aggregate Notional Amount of this Global Certificate).

On an exchange of the whole of this Global Certificate, this Global Certificate shall be surrendered to the Agent. On an exchange of only part of this Global Certificate, the Issuer shall procure that details of such exchange shall be entered in the relevant space in Schedule 2 hereto recording such exchange and shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer and the Notional Amount of this Global Certificate and the Certificates represented by this Global Certificate shall be reduced by the Notional Amount so exchanged.

If, following the issue of a Permanent Global Certificate in exchange for some of the Certificates represented by this Global Certificate, further Certificates represented by this Global Certificate are to be exchanged for interests in a Permanent Global Certificate, such exchange may be effected, subject as provided herein, without the issue of a new Permanent Global Certificate by the Issuer or its agent endorsing Schedule 2 of the Permanent Global Certificate previously issued to reflect an increase in the aggregate Notional Amount of such Permanent

4-4

Global Certificate by an amount equal to the aggregate Notional Amount of the Permanent Global Certificate which would otherwise have been issued on such exchange.

Until the exchange of the whole of this Global Certificate as aforesaid, the bearer hereof shall in all respects (except as otherwise provided herein) be entitled to the same benefits as if such bearer were the bearer of Definitive Certificates and (if applicable) Coupons in the form set out in Schedules 6 or 9, respectively, to the Agency Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Temporary Global Certificate, the Issuer irrevocably agrees, for the benefit of such Holders and their successors and assigns, that each Holder or its successors or assigns may file without the consent and to the exclusion of the bearer hereof, any claim, take any action or institute any proceeding to enforce, directly against the Issuer, the obligation of the Issuer hereunder to pay any amount due or to become due in respect of each Certificate represented by this Temporary Global Certificate which is credited to such Holder’s securities account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg without the production of this Temporary Global Certificate; provided that the bearer hereof shall not theretofore have filed a claim, taken action or instituted proceedings to enforce the same in respect of such Certificate.

Until exchanged in full for the Permanent Global Certificate, this Temporary Global Certificate in all respects shall be entitled to the same benefits under, and subject to the same terms and conditions of, the Agency Agreement as the Permanent Global Certificate authenticated and delivered thereunder, except that neither the Holder hereof nor the beneficial owners of this Temporary Global Certificate shall be entitled to receive payment hereon on or after the Exchange Date.

This Temporary Global Certificate shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

This Temporary Global Certificate shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been duly signed by or on behalf of the Agent acting in accordance with the Agency Agreement.

In case at any time the Issuer or the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, or 33% of the aggregate number or notional amount of Instruments, as the case may be, outstanding shall have requested the Principal Agent to call a meeting of Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Agent shall not have given the first notice of such meeting within 21 calendar days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Issuer or Holders of Securities in the amount above specified may determine the time and the place in either of the locations designated in paragraph 2 hereof for such meeting and may call such meeting by giving notice thereof as provided in paragraph 3 hereof.

5.

To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders, a person shall be (i) a Holder of one or more Securities, or (ii) a Proxy, which Proxy need not be a Holder. The only persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders shall be the persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Agent and its counsel and any representatives of the Issuer and its counsel.

15-2

6. At any such meeting, one or more persons present holding Securities or voting certificates or being Proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes, or a majority in aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, shall (except for the purpose of passing an Extraordinary Resolution) form a quorum for the transaction of business and no business (other than the choosing of a Chairman) shall be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum be present at the commencement of business. The quorum at any such meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution shall (subject as provided below) be one or more persons present holding Securities or voting certificates or being Proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate 67% in principal amount of the Notes, or 67% of the aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, for the time being outstanding, provided that, at any meeting the business of which includes any of the following matters (each of which shall only be capable of being effected after having been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution) namely:

(i)

modification of the Maturity Date or, as the case may be, redemption month, Settlement Date or Expiration Date, as applicable of the Securities or reduction or cancellation of the principal amount or other amount payable upon maturity, settlement or exercise, as applicable; or

(ii)

reduction or cancellation of the amount payable or modification of the payment date in respect of any interest in respect of the Securities or variation of the method of calculating the Rate of Interest (if applicable) in respect of the Securities; or

(iii)

reduction of any Minimum Interest Rate and/or Maximum Interest Rate specified in the applicable Final Terms of any Floating Rate Note or Floating Rate Certificate; or

(iv)

modification of the currency in which payment under the Securities and/or any Coupons appertaining thereto are to be made; or

(v)

modification of the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution; or

(vi)

the sanctioning of any such scheme or proposal as is described in paragraph 19(F) below; or

(vii)

alteration of this proviso or the proviso to paragraph 7 below; or

(viii)

any modification of the Senior Guarantee or the Subordinated Guarantee that is adverse to the rights of the Holders thereunder;

the quorum shall be one or more persons present holding Securities or voting certificates or being Proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds in principal amount of the Notes, or two-thirds in aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, for the time being outstanding. An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of the Holders of Securities will be binding on all Holders of Securities whether or not they are present at the meeting, and on all Couponholders (if any) appertaining to such Securities.

7. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of the Holders (as provided in Section 4 hereof), be dissolved. In any other case, the meeting shall be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 calendar days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in paragraph 3 hereof except that such notice need be published only once but must be given not less than five calendar days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Subject to the foregoing, at the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for a lack of a quorum the persons entitled to vote 33% in principal amount of the Notes, or 33% of the aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the notice of the original meeting. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, or the aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, that shall constitute a quorum. At a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid, any resolution and all matters (except as limited by General Note Condition 14 or by General

15-3

Instrument Condition 19, as applicable) shall be effectively passed and decided if passed or decided by the persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Notes, or a majority in aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, represented and voting at such meeting, provided that such amount shall be not less than 33% in principal amount of the Notes outstanding, or 33% of the aggregate number or Notional Amount of the Instruments, as the case may be. Any Holder who has executed and delivered an instrument in writing appointing a person as his Proxy shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided, however, that such Holder shall be considered as present or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Any resolution effectively passed or decision taken at any meeting of the Holders duly held in accordance with this paragraph 7 shall be binding on all Holders whether or not present or represented at the meeting and whether or not notation of such decision is made upon the Securities.

8. Notice of any adjourned meeting at which an Extraordinary Resolution is to be submitted shall be given in the same manner as notice of an original meeting but as if 10 were substituted for 21 in paragraph 3 above and such notice shall (except in cases where the proviso to paragraph 6 above shall apply when it shall state the relevant quorum) state that one or more persons present holding Securities or voting certificates or being Proxies at the adjournment meeting whatever the principal amount of the Notes, or aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, held or represented by them will form a quorum. Subject as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.

9. Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in case of equality of votes the Chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which he may be entitled as a Holder or as a holder of a voting certificate or as a Proxy.

10. At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the results of the show of hands) demanded by the Chairman or the Issuer or by one or more persons present holding Securities or voting certificates or being Proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two percent in principal amount of the Securities, or two percent in aggregate number or notional amount of the Instruments, as the case may be, for the time being outstanding, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favor of or against such resolution.

11. Subject to paragraph 13 below, if at any such meeting a poll is so demanded it shall be taken in such manner and subject as hereinafter provided either at once or after an adjournment as the Chairman directs and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the asking of the poll. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the motion on which the poll has been demanded.

12. The Chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any such meeting adjourn the same from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully (but for lack of required quorum) have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

13. Any poll demanded at any such meeting on the election of a Chairman or on any question of adjournment shall be taken at the meeting without adjournment.

14. Any director or officer of the Issuer and its lawyers and other professional advisers may attend and speak at any meeting. Save as aforesaid, but without prejudice to the proviso to the definition of “outstanding” in sub-clause 1(b) of this Agreement, no person shall be entitled to attend and speak nor shall any person be entitled to vote at any meeting of the Holders or join with others in requisitioning the convening of such a meeting unless he either produces the Security or Securities of which he is the holder or a voting certificate or is a Proxy. Neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries shall be entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Securities held by it for the benefit of any such company and no other person shall be entitled to vote at any meeting in respect of Securities held by it for the benefit of any such company. Nothing herein contained shall prevent any of the Proxies named in any block voting instruction from being a director, officer or representative of or otherwise connected with the Issuer.

15-4

15. Subject as provided in paragraph 14 hereof at any meeting:

(A) on a show of hands every person who is present in person and produces a Security or voting certificate or is a Proxy shall have one vote; and

(B) on a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of:

(i) in the case of a meeting of the Holders of Notes all of which are denominated in a single currency, each minimum integral amount of such currency;

(ii) in the case of a meeting of the Holders of Notes denominated in more than one currency, each U.S. $1.00 or, in the case of a Note denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the equivalent of U.S. $l.00 in such currency at the Agent’s spot buying rate for the relevant currency against U.S. Dollars at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date of publication of the notice of the relevant meeting (or of the original meeting of which such meeting is an adjournment), or such other amount as the Agent shall in its absolute discretion stipulate in principal amount of Notes so produced or represented by the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he is a Proxy; and

(iii) in the case of a meeting of the Holders of Instruments, each such Instrument.

Without prejudice to the obligation of the Proxies named in any block voting instructions, any person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes to which he is entitled in the same way.

16. The Proxies named in any block voting instruction need not be Holders.

17. Each block voting instruction together (if so requested by the Issuer) with proof satisfactory to the Issuer of its due execution on behalf of the relevant Paying Agent shall be deposited at such place as the Agent shall approve not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the Proxies named in the block voting instruction propose to vote and in default the block voting instruction shall not be treated as valid unless the Chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before such meeting or adjourned meeting proceeds to business. A certified copy of each block voting instruction shall be deposited with the Agent before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting, but the Agent shall not thereby be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of or the authority of the Proxies named in any such block voting instruction.

18. Any vote given in accordance with the terms of a block voting instruction shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or amendment of the block voting instruction or of any of the Holders’ instructions pursuant to which it was executed, provided that no intimation in writing of such revocation or amendment shall have been received from the relevant Paying Agent by the Issuer at its registered office (or such other place as may have been approved by the Agent of the purpose) by the time being 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the block voting instruction is to be used.

19. A meeting of the Holders shall, in addition to the powers hereinbefore given, have the following powers exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution (subject to the provisions relating to quorum contained in paragraphs 6 and 7 above) only namely:

(A) Power to sanction any compromise or arrangement proposed to be made between the Issuer and the Holders, the Receiptholders (if applicable) and the Couponholders (if applicable) or any of them.

(B) Power to sanction any abrogation, modification, compromise or arrangement in respect of the rights of the Holders, the Receiptholders (if applicable) and the Couponholders (if applicable) against the Issuer or against any of its property whether such rights shall arise under this Agreement, the Securities, the Receipts (if applicable) or the Coupons (if applicable) or otherwise.

15-5

(C) Power to assent to any modification of the provisions contained in this Agreement or the General Note Conditions, the General Instrument Conditions, the Securities, the Receipts (if applicable) or the Coupons (if applicable) which shall be proposed by the Issuer.

(D) Power to give any authority or sanction which under the provisions of this Agreement or the Securities is required to be given by Extraordinary Resolution.

(E) Power to appoint any persons (whether Holders or not) as a committee or committees to represent the interest of the Holders and to confer upon such committee or committees any powers or descriptions which the Holders could themselves exercise by Extraordinary Resolution.

(F) Power to sanction any scheme or proposal for the exchange or sale of the Securities for, or the conversion of the Securities into or the cancellation of the Securities in consideration of, shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or other obligations and/or securities of the Issuer or any other company formed or to be formed, or for or into or in consideration of cash, or partly for or into or in consideration of such shares, stock, notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock and/or other obligations and/or securities as aforesaid and partly for or into or in consideration of cash.

(G) Power to approve the substitution of any entity in place of the Issuer (or any previous substitute) as the principal debtor in respect of the Securities, the Receipts (if applicable) and the Coupons (if applicable).

20. Any resolution passed at a meeting of the Holders duly convened and held in accordance with this Agreement shall be binding upon all the Holders whether present or not present at such meeting and whether or not voting and upon all Receiptholders (if applicable) and Couponholders (if applicable) and each of them shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly and the passing of any such resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances justify the passing thereof. Notice of the result of the voting on any resolution duly considered by the Holders shall be published in accordance with General Note Condition 13 or General Instrument Condition 18, as applicable, by the Issuer within 14 days of such result being known, provided that the non-publication of such notice shall not invalidate such resolution.

21. The expression “Extraordinary Resolution” when used in this Agreement, the General Note Conditions or the General Instrument Conditions means a resolution passed at a meeting of the Holders duly convened and held in accordance with the provisions herein contained by a majority consisting of not less than 66-²/3% of the votes given on such poll.

22. Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every such meeting aforesaid if purporting to be signed by the Chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings had shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein contained and until the contrary is proved every such meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes have been made shall be deemed to have been duly held and convened and all resolutions passed or proceedings had thereat to have been duly passed or had.

23. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of Holders or of their representatives by Proxy (and the serial number or numbers of the Securities held or represented by them). The permanent chairperson of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was published as provided in paragraph 3 hereof and, if applicable, paragraph 8 hereof. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the chairperson and secretary of the meeting, and one such copy shall be delivered to the Issuer and another to the Agent to be preserved by the Agent, the copy delivered to the Agent to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

15-6

24. Subject to all the provisions contained herein the Agent may without the consent of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Holders or the Couponholders (if applicable) prescribe such further regulations regarding the requisition and/or the holding of meetings of Holders and attendance and voting thereat as the Agent may in its sole discretion think fit.
