(b) By purchasing or acquiring the Medium-Term Notes, Series A, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Medium-Term Notes, Series A:

The Notes are issuable under a Senior Debt Securities Indenture dated as of January 21, 2011 among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee for the Notes under the Indenture), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 6, 2011, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 5, 2014, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture for the Medium-Term Notes, Series A dated as of September 29, 2014, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 17, 2015, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 14, 2015, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 17, 2015, the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 22, 2016 and the Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 2, 2016, among the Issuer, the Guarantor, and the Trustee (such Senior Debt Securities Indenture, as supplemented by the supplements listed above and as may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes or any series of Senior Debt Securities issued under the Indenture, issue additional Notes or Medium-Term Notes, Series A forming a part of the series known as Medium-Term Notes, Series A, in each case, whether or not having the same interest rate, maturity date, redemption terms and other terms as the Notes or any Medium-Term Notes, Series A, provided that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such further Notes must be fungible with the Notes, and such further Medium-Term Notes, Series A must be fungible with any Medium-Term Notes, Series A of the series known as Medium-Term Notes, Series A, or, in each case, must be issued under a different CUSIP, ISIN and/or Common Code number, as applicable. Any such Notes, together with this Note, will constitute a single sub-series of Medium-Term Notes, Series A under the Indenture and any such Notes, together with any other Medium-Term Notes, Series A, will constitute a single series of Senior Debt Securities under the Indenture. The Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more global Notes (each, a “Global Senior Note”). Except as provided in the Indenture, a Global Senior Note shall not be exchangeable for one or more definitive Senior Debt Securities.

The Medium-Term Notes, Series A will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, as described herein, and will rank pari passu without any preference among themselves.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Medium-Term Notes, Series A shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holder or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Medium-Term Notes, Series A may declare the principal amount of, and any accrued interest on, all the Medium-Term Notes, Series A to be due and payable immediately, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Medium-Term Notes, Series A shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of Holders of Medium-Term Notes, Series A by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted thereon, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including the institution of proceedings in England or Scotland (but not elsewhere) for the winding up of the Issuer or the Guarantor, respectively.

By acceptance of this Note, the Holder will be deemed to have waived any right of set-off or counterclaim or combination of accounts with respect to this Note or the Indenture (or between the obligations under or in respect of this Note and any liability owed by the Holder to the Issuer) that they might otherwise have against the Issuer or the Guarantor, whether before or during a winding-up of the Issuer or the Guarantor.

The Bank of New York Mellon, at its corporate trust office in The City of New York, acts as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to this Note.

Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

In the case where the calendar date indicated on the face hereof as an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day or where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) is otherwise postponed according to the terms and procedures specified on the face hereof, payment of interest, if any, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) as postponed with the same force and effect as if made on the indicated calendar date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the indicated calendar date to the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) as postponed; provided that if this Note has a term of not more than one year (from but excluding the Original Issue Date to and including the Maturity Date), such

payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day of the indicated calendar date and in no event will an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date occur more than one year after the Original Issue Date (excluding the Original Issue Date and including the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date).

Amounts to be paid on this Note or under the Guarantee will be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present and future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (the “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to make such deduction or withholding, the Issuer, or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay additional amounts with respect to the principal of, and interest and any other payments on this Note (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary in order that the net amounts paid to the Holders, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have been payable on this Note if the deduction or withholding had not been required. However, this will not apply to any such tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee, which would not have been deducted or withheld but for the fact that:

(i) the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of this Note is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or is physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of this Note, or the collection of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest or other payments on, this Note or under the Guarantee;

(iv) the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of this Note or the Beneficial Owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest or other payments on, this Note failed to comply with a request of the Issuer or its liquidator or guarantor or other authorized person addressed to the Holder (x) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or the Beneficial Owner or (y) to make any declaration or other similar claim to satisfy any requirement, which in the case of (x) or (y), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as

a precondition to exemption from all or part of the tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee;

(v) the withholding or deduction is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income, or any directive amending, supplementing or replacing such directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive or directives;

(vi) this Note is presented (where presentation is required) for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this Note to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union;

(vii) the deduction or withholding is imposed by reason of any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement; or

(viii) any combination of clauses (i) through (vii) above,

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to the principal of, or any interest or other payments on, this Note or under the Guarantee to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole Beneficial Owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of any Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or partner or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a Beneficial Owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts, had it been the Holder.

(a) in making any payment on this Note, it has or will or would on the next Interest Payment Date become obligated to pay Additional Amounts;

(b) the payment of interest on the next Interest Payment Date in respect of this Note would be treated as a “distribution” within the meaning of Chapter 2 of Part 23 of the Corporation Tax Xxx 0000 of the United Kingdom (or any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof for the time being); or

(c) on the next Interest Payment Date the Issuer (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of the payment of interest in computing its United Kingdom taxation liabilities (or the value of such deduction to the Issuer (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) would be materially reduced).

this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date pertaining to such Interest Reset Dates; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR or EURIBOR and

such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The “Interest Determination Date” pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be:

(a) if the Base Rate for this Note is the CMS Rate, the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date;

(b) if the Base Rate for this Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or CMT Rate, the second New York Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date

(d) if the Base Rate for this Note is LIBOR, the second London Banking Day prior to such Interest Reset Date, except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR note for which the Designated LIBOR Currency is pounds sterling will be such Interest Reset Date; and

(e) if the Base Rate for this Note is the Treasury Rate, the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction.

If this Note has two or more Base Rates, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date on which each Base Rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMS Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the “USD-ISDA-Swap Rate,” which shall be the rate for U.S.

dollar swaps with the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, that appears on the Reuters Screen ICESWAP1 Page (or any other page as may replace such page) as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMS Rate cannot be determined as described above.

If the CMS Rate does not appear on Reuters Screen ICESWAP1 Page (or any other page as may replace such page) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMS Rate for such Interest Determination Date on the basis of the Mid-Market Semi-Annual Swap Rate quotations provided by five leading swap dealers selected by the Calculation Agent in the New York City interbank market (the “CMS Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date. The Calculation Agent will request the principal New York City office of each of the CMS Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate, and (a) if at least three quotations are provided, the rate for such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest); or (b) if fewer than three quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent shall determine the rate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

“Mid-Market Semi-Annual Swap Rate” means, on any Interest Determination Date, the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof commencing on such Interest Determination Date and in a CMS Representative Amount with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to U.S. dollar LIBOR with a designated maturity of three months.

“CMS Representative Amount” means an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page under the caption “...Constant Maturities Treasury ... Federal Reserve Board Release H.15... Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.,” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for:

(1) the rate on such Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the weekly or monthly average, as specified on the face hereof, for the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above.

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in H.15(519).

(ii) If such Treasury Constant Maturity rate is no longer published, or is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) on such Interest Determination Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published in H.15(519).

(iii) If such Treasury Constant Maturity rate is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York (which may include the Issuer or its affiliates), selected by the Calculation Agent from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States that are commonly referred to as “Treasury Notes” with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year and in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in such market at such time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotations for the Treasury Notes with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iv) If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three Treasury Notes quotations as described in (iii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the

CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (iii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(v) If three or four (and not five) of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iv) above, then the CMT Rate for such Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated.

(vi) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate for such Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no preceding Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) as specified on the face hereof for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated or, if no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page) for the purpose of displaying Constant Maturities Treasury as reported in H.15(519) or, if no page is specified on the face hereof, Reuters page FEDCMT (or any other page as may replace FEDCMT).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above.

(i) If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world wide website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/x00/xxxxxx/x00xxx.xxx, or any successor site or publication (“H.15 Daily Update”) under the heading “Commercial Paper—Non-Financial,” or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate.

(ii) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York (which may include the Issuer or its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof for a nonfinancial issuer whose bond rating is “AA,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency.

(iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above.

(i) If the above rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1, or is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Treasury Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate from the auction held on such Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States that are commonly referred to as “Treasury Bills,” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as such rate appears on Reuters, or any successor service, on page USAUCTION 10 (or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION 10 on that service), which we refer to as “Reuters Page USAUCTION 10,” or on page USAUCTION 11 (or any other page as may

replace page USAUCTION 11), which we refer to as “Reuters Page USAUCTION 11.”

The following procedures will be followed if the Treasury Rate cannot be determined as described above.

(i) If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Payment Date, the Treasury Rate shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate for such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High.”

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by the United States Department of the Treasury.

(iii) In the event that the Auction rate of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof is not so announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers (which may include the Issuer or its affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof.

(iv) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as described in (iii), the Treasury Rate for such Interest Determination Date shall remain the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the

interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the Principal Amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is CMS Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR (if the Designated LIBOR Currency is not pounds sterling), (ii) by 365 if the Base Rate is LIBOR and the Designated LIBOR Currency is pounds sterling or (iii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with .000005% being rounded up to .00001%) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless otherwise specified above or unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of such number of units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. If the Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to one or more currencies or currency units for which an exchange rate is

required, the Exchange Rate Agent will use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue of the currency or currency unit in question, or such other quotations as the Exchange Rate Agent shall deem appropriate. If there is more than one market for dealing in any currency or currency unit by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such currency or currency unit will be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities designated in such currency or currency unit would, as determined in its sole discretion and without liability on the part of the exchange rate agent, purchase such currency or currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such securities.

If “Bail-in Agreement” is specified as applicable on the face of this Note, the following provisions shall apply to this Note:
