(c) (i) The Temporary Global Note shall be delivered by the Company to the Fiscal Agent at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), and the Fiscal Agent shall deliver the Temporary Global Note, duly authenticated by an authorized signatory of the Fiscal Agent, on January 31, 2000, or on such other date as the Managers and the Company may agree (the “Closing Date”), upon instruction from the Company to Bank One, NA, acting through its London Branch, as common depositary (the “Common Depositary”) for Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as the operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and for Cedelbank for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Notes (or to such other accounts as they may direct).

(ii) The Fiscal Agent may, at its discretion, appoint any person outside the United States to act as the agent of the Fiscal Agent in authenticating, delivering and endorsing the Notes or taking any other action that is required by this Agreement to be taken with respect thereto. Such person may authenticate, deliver and endorse the Notes whenever the Fiscal Agent may do so, unless limited by the terms of such appointment. Each reference in this Agreement and the Notes to authentication, delivery or endorsement by the Fiscal Agent shall include authentication, delivery or endorsement by any such agent so appointed.

(d) (i) Not earlier than the Exchange Date, beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note only with respect to those portions of the Temporary Global Note as to which the Fiscal Agent has received the certification described in subsection (ii) below. Following the initial receipt by the Fiscal Agent of such certification and the initial exchange of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note, the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Common Depositary outside the United States, for credit to the respective accounts of the holders of beneficial interests therein, the Permanent Global Note, representing the principal amount of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note initially exchanged and shall endorse or shall procure the endorsement of the Temporary Global Note to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the amount so exchanged. Upon any subsequent receipt by the Fiscal Agent of such certification and subsequent exchange of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note, the Fiscal Agent shall endorse or shall procure the endorsement of the Temporary Global Note to reflect the reduction by the amount so exchanged in the principal amount represented thereby and shall endorse or shall procure the endorsement of the Permanent Global Note to reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full, the holders of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the holders of beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note and the holders of the Definitive Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that neither the holder nor the beneficial owners of the Temporary Global Note shall be entitled to receive payments of principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts payable pursuant to Section 8 of the Conditions, if any) on, the Temporary Global Note except as provided in Section 1(e) and Exhibit A.

The Exchange Date shall not be subject to extension except as described under Section 1(i) below.

Solely for the purposes of United States Treas. Reg. §1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D), the Company hereby appoints the Fiscal Agent as its agent to receive any certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit E that are required to be delivered pursuant to this subsection (ii) and to retain any such certificates for a period of four calendar years following the year in which any such certificates are received, and the Fiscal Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The delivery to the Fiscal Agent by Euroclear or Cedelbank of such a certificate may be relied upon by the Company and the Fiscal Agent as conclusive evidence that a related certificate or certificates substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit F and dated not earlier than 15 days prior to the date of the related certificate of Euroclear or Cedelbank has or have been delivered (as provided in United States Treas. Reg. §1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(3)) to Euroclear or Cedelbank by one or more beneficial owners of the interests in the Temporary Global Note.

(iii) Upon 45 days’ written notice (which may be given at any time after the Closing Date) to the Fiscal Agent by Euroclear or Cedelbank, as the case may be, acting at the request of or on behalf of any owner or owners of beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note, such beneficial interests shall be exchangeable in whole after the Exchange Date (only outside the United States and subject to the general terms and conditions of Euroclear and Cedelbank) for an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes in bearer form, with coupons (“Coupons”), substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C (the “Definitive Notes”). On or prior to the later of (i) the 45th day following receipt by the Fiscal Agent of notice of an exchange of beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note for Definitive Notes and (ii) the Exchange Date, the Fiscal Agent shall endorse the Permanent Global Note to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes exchanged and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate the Definitive Notes for which such beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note are so exchanged and shall deliver such Definitive Notes (outside the United States) to Euroclear or Cedelbank, as the case may be, for or on behalf of the beneficial owner or owners thereof. The Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Fiscal Agent a sufficient supply of Definitive Notes for delivery, authentication and endorsement by the Fiscal Agent as provided herein.

(e) (i) In the event that any Payment Date shall occur at a time when any portion of the principal amount of the Temporary Global Note has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note, payments of principal of, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on, that portion of the principal amount of the Temporary Global Note which has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note shall be paid by the Company to the Fiscal Agent on or before such Payment Date and shall be held by the Fiscal Agent for payment to Euroclear or Cedelbank upon such exchange (whereupon Euroclear and Cedelbank have undertaken to credit such amount to the account of the holder(s) of the related portion(s)).

(ii) Interest payable after the delivery of a Definitive Note may be collected only upon presentation of the Coupons attached thereto as they mature.

- 4 -

(f) Any exchange pursuant to Section 1(d) shall be made free of charge to the holder and the beneficial owners of interests in the Temporary Global Note and to the holders of the Definitive Notes issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note as provided above.

(g) Upon return of the entire principal amount of the Temporary Global Note to the Fiscal Agent in exchange for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note, the Fiscal Agent shall cancel the Temporary Global Note by perforation and shall forthwith destroy such Temporary Global Note on behalf of the Company. If the entire principal amount of the Permanent Global Note is returned to the Fiscal Agent in exchange for Definitive Notes, the Fiscal Agent shall cancel the Permanent Global Note by perforation and shall forthwith destroy such Permanent Global Note on behalf of the Company.

(h) The Temporary Global Note, the Permanent Global Note and all Definitive Notes delivered by the Company to the Fiscal Agent shall be signed on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer of the Company, and any such signature may be manual or facsimile. The signature of any person who shall hold any office at the date of signature may be used notwithstanding that when any Note shall be delivered any such person shall have ceased to hold such office. The Company covenants that each such Note, when issued, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(i) The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes and Coupons, issue from time to time additional Notes (“Additional Notes”), on each occasion under an agreement supplemental to this Agreement, and all of which will be treated as a single series with the Notes offered hereby. Upon each such issue of Additional Notes (if any) prior to the Exchange Date, such Exchange Date may, at the sole discretion of the Company, be extended without the consent of the holders of the Notes until the date which is 40 days after the later of (i) the commencement of the offering of the Additional Notes and (ii) the closing date of the Additional Notes, provided that such Exchange Date will not under any circumstances be extended to a date that is later than the date which is 90 days after the Closing Date.

(ii) In the absence of such notification from the Fiscal Agent in accordance with Section 2(c)(i) to the effect that the Fiscal Agent (a) has not received the confirmation referred to in Section 2(a) or (b) has not received payment, such Paying Agent shall assume that the Fiscal Agent has received the confirmation referred to in Section 2(a) and the full amount due on such Payment Date in respect of the Notes or the Coupons, as the case may be, and shall be entitled:

Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided above except that such notice need be given only once but must be given not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Subject to the foregoing, at the reconvening of any meeting further adjourned for the lack of a quorum, the persons entitled to vote 25 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding 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 outstanding Notes which shall constitute a quorum.

(d) At a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid, any resolution (except a resolution relating to any of the matters set out in Section 14(a)(i) to (vi) (inclusive)) shall be effectively passed and decided if passed and/or decided by the persons entitled to vote the lesser of (i) a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (ii) 75 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented and voting at the meeting.

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of Notes duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the holders of Notes whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

- 14 -

(e) The holding of Notes shall be proved by the production of such Notes or by a certificate, satisfactory to the Company, executed by any bank, banker, trust company or recognized securities dealer, wherever situated, satisfactory to the Company. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Note bearing a specified serial number and having a specified denomination was deposited with or exhibited to such bank, banker, trust company, or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate or, in the case of Notes represented by beneficial interests in a Global Note, that such person is entitled to such beneficial interest and specifying the principal amount thereof. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Notes specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Note specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (i) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect to the same Note shall be produced, (ii) the Note specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person or (iii) the Note specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. The appointment of any proxy shall be proved by having the signature of the person executing the proxy guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or London or New York Stock Exchange member firm satisfactory to the Company.

(f) The Company shall appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented at the meeting. At any meeting, each holder of Notes or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each £1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented by him; provided that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote except as a holder of Notes or proxy. Any meeting of holders of Notes duly called at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting be held as so adjourned without further notice.

(g) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of holders of Notes shall be by written ballot. The permanent chairman 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 duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of holders of Notes shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to the 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 above. The record shall be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other duplicate to the Fiscal Agent to be preserved by the Fiscal Agent, the latter 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.

ANY UNITED STATES PERSON WHO HOLDS THIS OBLIGATION WILL BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS UNDER THE UNITED STATES INCOME TAX LAWS, INCLUDING THE LIMITATIONS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 165(j) AND 1287(a) OF THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

THE PROCTER & XXXXXX COMPANY

£500,000,000 6.25% Notes due 2030

This Note is a Temporary Global Note without interest coupons (“Coupons”) in respect of a duly authorized issue by The Procter & Xxxxxx Company (the “Company,” which term shall include any successor corporation) of notes, designated as specified in the title hereof (the “Notes”, which expression shall include any Additional Notes issued under agreements supplemental to the Fiscal Agency Agreement), in the aggregate principal amount of 500,000,000 BRITISH POUNDS STERLING. The Notes are issued with the benefit of a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2000 (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Company and Bank One, NA, acting through its London Branch, as fiscal agent and principal paying agent (the “Fiscal Agent”), and the paying agents named therein. This Temporary Global Note is issued subject to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Terms and Conditions (the “Conditions”) set out in Exhibit D to the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the bearer upon presentation and surrender hereof at the office of the Fiscal Agent specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement on January 31, 2030, or on such earlier date as such sum may become repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the principal sum of 500,000,000 BRITISH POUNDS STERLING (£500,000,000), or such lesser amount as shall be the outstanding principal amount hereof after deduction of the aggregate principal amount of interests in a single permanent global Note in bearer form without coupons substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to the Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Permanent Global Note”) issued in exchange for a portion or portions hereof, and will pay interest on the said principal sum in accordance with the Conditions from January 31, 2000 in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, together with such additional amounts (if any) as may be payable under Section 8 of the Conditions, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions.

This Temporary Global Note will be deposited with Bank One, NA, acting through its London Branch, as common depositary (the “Common Depositary”) on behalf of Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Cedelbank, for credit to the respective accounts of Euroclear and Cedelbank (or to such other accounts as Euroclear or Cedelbank may have directed). The principal amount of this Temporary Global Note shall be reduced on exchange for interests in the Permanent Global Note by endorsement by the Fiscal Agent as specified below.

A-1

Not earlier than the Exchange Date (as defined below) Cedelbank or Euroclear may present to the Fiscal Agent one or more certificates signed by Cedelbank or Euroclear, as the case may be, dated not earlier than the Exchange Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Fiscal Agency Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the principal amount of this Temporary Global Note, whereupon the Fiscal Agent will endorse on Schedule II hereto as a subtraction the amount of the portion of this Temporary Global Note in respect of which such certificates have been received in exchange, outside the United States, for interests in the Permanent Global Note.

Each of Cedelbank and Euroclear has agreed with the Company that upon the request of an account holder of a portion of this Temporary Global Note for the exchange of some or all of such portion of this Temporary Global Note for interests in the Permanent Global Note, accompanied by a certificate or certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and dated not earlier than 15 days prior to the date of the certificate of Euroclear or Cedelbank to which such certificate relates, it will deliver to the Fiscal Agent the certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Fiscal Agency Agreement in respect of such portion of this Temporary Global Note (but only to the extent that the certificate of such account holder has not been modified by subsequent communications).

Upon any exchange of a part of this Temporary Global Note for an interest in the Permanent Global Note, the portion of the principal amount hereof so exchanged shall be endorsed by the Fiscal Agent on Schedule II hereto. The principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed.

For the purposes hereof, “Exchange Date” shall mean the date which is 40 days (subject to extension as described below) after the later of (i) the commencement of the offering of the Notes and (ii) the Closing Date. Provided that upon an issue of Additional Notes (if any) prior to the Exchange Date, such Exchange Date may, at the sole discretion of the Company, be extended, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, until the date which is 40 days after the later of (A) the commencement of the offering of the Additional Notes and (B) the closing date of the Additional Notes, provided further that such Exchange Date will not under any circumstances be extended to a date that is later than the date which is 90 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Date shall not be subject to extension except as described above.

Until the entire principal amount of this Temporary Global Note has been exchanged for interests in the Permanent Global Note, holders of beneficial interests in this Temporary Global Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and be subject to the same terms and conditions as a holder of a beneficial interest in the Permanent Global Note or a holder of Definitive Notes for which such interests could be exchanged, except that the holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments of principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on, this Temporary Global Note, except as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement and in this Temporary Global Note.

All terms used in this Temporary Global Note which are defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Conditions shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meanings assigned to them therein.

A-2

Following redenomination of the Notes pursuant to Section 13 of the Conditions, the amount of interest due and unpaid in respect of the Notes represented by the Permanent Global Note and/or this Temporary Global Note will be calculated by reference to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the amount of such payment shall be rounded down to the nearest euro 0.01.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement, this Temporary Global Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Temporary Global Note is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company has caused this Temporary Global Note to be signed on its behalf by its duly authorized officer.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

The £500,000,000 6.25% Notes due January 31, 2030 (the “Notes”, which expression shall include any Additional Notes (as defined in Section 1 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement) issued under agreements supplemental to the Fiscal Agency Agreement) have been issued under a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2000 (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”, between The Procter & Xxxxxx Company (the “Company”), Bank One, NA, acting through its London Branch, as fiscal agent and principal paying agent (the “Fiscal Agent,” which expression shall include any successor as fiscal agent under the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement), and the paying agents named therein (such paying agents, the Fiscal Agent, in its capacity as principal paying agent, and any successor or additional paying agents appointed pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement are referred to collectively herein as the “Paying Agents”). Certain statements herein are a summary of, and are subject to the detailed provisions of, the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Fiscal Agency Agreement contains provisions which are expressed to be for the benefit of the holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) and of the coupons attached thereto (the “Couponholders”) and such provisions shall be deemed to be incorporated in these Conditions. Copies of the Fiscal Agency Agreement are available for inspection at the offices of the Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agents specified on Schedule I to the Global Notes (defined below) (or, in the case of any successor Fiscal Agent or Paying Agent, identified in the notification to Noteholders of the appointment of such successor in accordance with Section 11 of the Conditions). The Noteholders and the Couponholders will be deemed to have notice of and be bound by all the provisions contained in the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

Section 1. Delivery, Form and Denomination.

The Notes initially will be represented by a single temporary global note in bearer form (the “Temporary Global Note”), without interest coupons, which will be deposited with and held by Bank One, NA, acting through its London Branch, as common depositary (the “Common Depositary”) for Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office as the operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Cedelbank. Not earlier than the Exchange Date, beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable outside the United States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia) and its possessions (including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Wake Island and Northern Mariana Islands) (the “United States”) for an equal aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests in a single permanent global note in bearer form, without interest coupons (the “Permanent Global Note” and, together with the Temporary Global Note, the “Global Notes”), upon and to the extent that the certification requirements set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement have been complied with. Certain details as to procedures and prerequisites for owners of beneficial interests in the Temporary Global Note to exchange such interests for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note are set forth in the Temporary Global Note and the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note will be exchangeable in whole after the Exchange Date (only outside the United States and subject to general terms and conditions of Euroclear and Cedelbank) upon 45 days’ written notice (which may be given at any time after the Closing Date), for an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes in bearer form with interest coupons (“Coupons”). Any Definitive Notes issued in exchange for such interests will be in bearer form only in denominations of £1,000, £10,000 and £100,000 with Coupons attached thereto, and title to such Definitive Notes and Coupons will pass upon delivery.

D-1

Each Note and Coupon will carry the following legend:

“This obligation has not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in contravention of that Act. Any United States person who holds this obligation will be subject to limitations under the United States income tax laws, including the limitations provided in Sections 165(j) and 1287(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code.”

Section 2. Status.

The Notes constitute direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Company and will at all times rank equally among themselves and equally (subject to such obligations as are mandatorily preferred by law) with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. Neither the Fiscal Agency Agreement nor the Notes limit other indebtedness or securities which may be incurred or issued by the Company or Subsidiaries of the Company (as defined below). The Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes contain only the financial or similar restrictions on the Company or Subsidiaries of the Company set forth below in these Conditions. The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes and Coupons, issue from time to time Additional Notes (as defined in Section 1 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement) under an agreement supplemental to the Fiscal Agency Agreement which will be treated as a single series with the Notes.

Section 3. Limitations upon Liens and Sales and Leasebacks.

(a) The Company will not itself, and will not permit any Domestic Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Debt secured by a Mortgage of any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property or on any shares of stock or Debt of any Domestic Subsidiary, without effectively providing that the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Debt of the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinated to the Notes) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt, so long as such secured Debt shall be so secured, unless after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of all such secured Debt plus all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries in respect of sale and leaseback transactions (as defined in Section 3(b)), would not exceed 5 per cent. of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. The restriction will not apply to, and there shall be excluded in computing secured Debt in any computation under the Section 3(a), Debt secured by, (a) Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock or Debt of, any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Domestic Subsidiary, (b) Mortgages in favor of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary, (c) Mortgages in favor of the United States, or any agency, department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or provision of any statute, (d) Mortgages on property, shares of stock or Debt existing at the time of acquisition thereof (including acquisition through merger or consolidation) or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price

Section 5. Interest.

(a) Period of Accrual of Interest. The Notes will bear interest from January 31, 2000 (the “Issue Date”). Interest on each Note will cease to accrue from the due date for the principal thereof unless (i) the maturity of Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 9 of the Conditions and/or (ii) upon due presentation of the Note, the payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused. In either such event, the affected Notes will continue to bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum, after as well as before judgment, until such Notes shall be paid in full or until the seventh day following the date on which notice is given to the affected Noteholders to the effect that funds for the payment of principal in respect of all outstanding Notes have been received by the Fiscal Agent and are available for collection (provided that sufficient funds have actually been received and are available for such purpose), whichever is the earlier.

(b) Interest Payment Dates and Interest Periods. Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on January 31 of each year (commencing with January 31, 2001) (each such date being referred to herein as an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day which is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day and no additional interest shall be payable on account of such delayed payment. “Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in New York City and the relevant place of payment.

(c) Payment. Interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) due on each Interest Payment Date will be paid, in the case of the Permanent Global Note, against presentation of the Permanent Global Note or, in the case of Definitive Notes, against presentation and surrender of the appropriate Coupons attached to the Definitive Notes on issue as they severally mature, in each case in accordance with Section 7 of the Conditions.

(d) Rate of Interest. The rate at which interest shall accrue from time to time in respect of the Notes will be 6.25% per annum. In the event that interest is required to be calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each and in the case of an incomplete month the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 6. Redemption.

(a) Final Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, prior to maturity as provided below. Unless previously redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, the Notes will be payable at par (including Additional Amounts, if any) on January 31, 2030 or such earlier date on which the same shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes; provided that if the maturity date of the Notes is not a Business Day, the Notes will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue for the period from January 31, 2030 to such payment date).

D-6

(b) Optional Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at any time at the option of the Company, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice in accordance with Condition 11 below, at a price equal to the greater of the following, together with interest accrued and unpaid up to, but excluding, the date of redemption:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes; and

(ii) that price (the “Redemption Price”), expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded down), at which the Gross Redemption Yield (as defined below) on the Notes, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third dealing day prior to the date of the publication of the notice of redemption, would be equal to the Gross Redemption Yield on such dealing day of 6% Treasury Stock 2028 or, if such stock is no longer in issue, of such other United Kingdom government stock as the Company, with the advice of three leading brokers operating in the gilt-edged market and/or gilt-edged market makers selected by the Company, shall determine to be appropriate (the “Reference Stock”) on the basis of the middle market price of the Reference Stock prevailing at 11:00 a.m. on such dealing day as determined by X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Ltd. or its successor.

Upon the expiry of such notice, the Company shall be bound to redeem the Notes at the price set forth above (including interest accrued and unpaid up to, but excluding, the date of redemption).

References in the Fiscal Agency Agreement to principal shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include a reference to the Redemption Price.

The “Gross Redemption Yield” on the Notes and on the Reference Stock will be expressed as a percentage and will be calculated on the basis indicated by the Joint Index and Classification Committee of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries as reported in the Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, Vol. 105, Part I, 1978, page 18 or its successor publication.

(c) Redemption for Tax Reasons. The Notes also may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice in accordance with Condition 11 below (which notice shall be irrevocable), if (a) the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in or amendment to an official application, interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after January 28, 2000 or (b) any action shall have been taken by any taxing authority, or any action has been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, in the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including any of those actions specified in (a) above (whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Company) or any change, clarification, amendment, application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings shall be officially proposed, in

D-7

any case on or after January 28, 2000 which results in a substantial likelihood that the Company will be required to pay Additional Amounts on the next Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be, in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (a) above, or there would be a substantial likelihood that the Company would be, in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (b) above, obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent (i) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent of the right of the Company so to redeem have occurred and (ii) in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (a) or (b) above, a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment or that there is a substantial likelihood that the Company will be required to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such action or proposed change, clarification, amendment, application or interpretation, as the case may be. Such notice, once delivered by the Company to the Fiscal Agent, will be irrevocable.

(d) Special Tax Redemption. In addition, if the Company determines, based upon a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, that any payment made outside the United States by the Company or any Paying Agent (acting as agent for the Company and not as agent for the beneficial owner of a Note or Coupon) of the full amount of principal or interest due with respect to any Note or Coupon would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Company, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of such Note or Coupon who is a United States Alien (as defined in Condition 8) (other than such a requirement (a) which would not be applicable to payment made by the Company or any one of its Paying Agents (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to any custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, (b) which can be satisfied by the holder who is not the beneficial owner thereof or the custodian, nominee or other agent certifying that the beneficial owner is a United States Alien, (c) which would be applicable only to a payment by a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner to the beneficial owner, or (d) which would be applicable to a payment to any custodian, nominee, or other agent of the beneficial owner who is (I) a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including a foreign branch or office of such person, (II) a controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code, (III) a foreign person 50% or more of the gross income of which, from all sources for the three year period ending with the close of its taxable year preceding such payment (or such part of such period as the person has been in existence), was effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, or (IV) in the case of any payment made on or after January 1, 2001, a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year, one or more of its partners are U.S. persons (as defined in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(c)(2)) who, in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interest in the partnership or if, at any time during its tax year, it is engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States; provided that in each case referred to in clauses

D-8

(a)(ii) and (b), payment by such custodian, nominee or other agent of such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement other than any such requirement which is imposed on a custodian, nominee, or other agent described in clause (d), the Company at its election will either (x) redeem all of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as described in Condition 11, at a redemption price equal to 100 per cent. of their principal amount, together with interest accrued and unpaid to the redemption date, or (y) if and so long as the certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirements referred to in this paragraph would be fully satisfied with respect to the Notes by payment of United States withholding, backup withholding or similar tax, pay such Additional Amounts as are necessary in order that, following the effective date of such requirements, every net payment made outside the United States by the Company or any Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on a Note or a Coupon appertaining thereto to a beneficial owner who is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from status as a United States Alien) of the beneficial owner be disclosed to the Company, any Paying Agent or any United States governmental authority), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such United States withholding, backup withholding or similar tax (other than a withholding, backup withholding or similar tax which would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of this paragraph) but before deduction or withholding on account of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge described in (a) through (h) of the first paragraph under Condition 8 will not be less than the amount provided in the Note or the Coupon to be then due and payable. The Company will make such determination and election and notify the Fiscal Agent as soon as practicable, and the Fiscal Agent will promptly give notice of such determination in the manner provided under Condition 11 (the “Determination Notice”) stating the effective date of such certification, identification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement, whether the Company will redeem the Notes or will pay the Additional Amounts specified in this paragraph and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of the Notes must take place. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after publication of the Determination Notice, as the Company elects by notice in writing to the Fiscal Agent at least 60 days before such date, unless shorter notice is acceptable to the Fiscal Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not so redeem the Notes if the Company, based upon a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, subsequently determines, not less that 30 days prior to the redemption date, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Company will notify the Fiscal Agent in writing, and the Fiscal Agent will promptly give notice to the holders of the Notes of that determination and any earlier redemption notice will thereupon be revoked and of no further effect. If the Company elects as provided in clause (y) above to pay Additional Amounts, (A) the Company may, as long as the Company is obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, redeem all of the Notes, at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as described under Condition 11, at a redemption price equal to 100 per cent. of their principal amount, together with interest accrued and unpaid to the redemption date but without deduction for applicable United States withholding taxes with respect to which the Company is obligated to pay Additional Amounts and (B) if the condition specified in clause (y) above is no longer satisfied, the Company shall redeem all of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

D-9

(e) Requirements as to Notices of Redemption by Company. Neither the failure to give notice nor any defect in any notice given to any particular holder of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of any notice with respect to other Notes. Notices to redeem Notes shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed, together with all appurtenant Coupons, if any, maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption (unless the redemption date is an Interest Payment Date) will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date, interest on the Notes so to be redeemed will cease to accrue. Such notice shall also state that the conditions precedent to such redemption have occurred and state the amount of Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

(f) Cancellation. All Notes redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 of the Conditions will be forthwith cancelled (together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto) and may not be reissued or resold.

Section 7. Payments.

Payments of principal and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) in respect of Definitive Notes will be made against presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes or Coupons, as the case may be, at the offices of any of the Paying Agents, subject in each case to any applicable laws or regulations. Payments of principal and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) in respect of the Notes represented by a Permanent Global Note will be made against presentation and surrender or, as the case may be, presentation of the Permanent Global Note at the specified office of the Fiscal Agent, subject in each case to any applicable laws or regulations. A record of each payment so made, distinguishing between any payment of principal and any payment of interest, will be endorsed on the schedule to the Permanent Global Note by or on behalf of the Fiscal Agent which endorsement shall be prima facie evidence that such payment has been made. Except as set forth in Condition 13, such payments will be made, at the direction of the holder payee and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by a British Pounds Sterling check drawn on, or by a transfer to a British Pounds Sterling account maintained by such holder payee with, a bank outside the United States. No payment on any Note or Coupon will be made at any office of the Company, the Fiscal Agent or any other Paying Agents in the United States, nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States.

In the event that any Interest Payment Date shall occur at a time when any portion of the principal amount of the Temporary Global Note has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note, payments of principal and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any), on that portion of the principal amount of the Temporary Global Note which has not been exchanged for beneficial interests in the Permanent Global Note shall be paid by the Company to the Fiscal Agent on or before such Interest Payment Date and shall be held by the Fiscal Agent for payment to Euroclear or Cedelbank upon such exchange (whereupon Euroclear and Cedelbank have undertaken to credit such amount to the account of the owner(s) of the related portion(s)).

D-10

Interest (including Additional Amounts thereon, if any) payable after the delivery of a Definitive Note may be collected only upon presentation of the Coupons attached thereto as they mature.

The bearer of the Permanent Global Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments of principal and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on the Permanent Global Note and the Issuer will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the bearer of such Permanent Global Note in respect of each amount paid. So long as the Permanent Global Note is held on behalf of a nominee for Euroclear and Cedelbank, each of the persons shown in the records of Euroclear or of Cedelbank as the holder of a Note must look solely to Euroclear or Cedelbank, as the case may be, for its share of each payment so made by the Issuer to the bearer of the Permanent Global Note, subject to and in accordance with the respective rules and procedures of Euroclear or Cedelbank, as the case may be. No person other than the bearer of the Permanent Global Note shall have any entitlement to payments due by the Issuer on the Notes.

The Company has initially appointed the Paying Agents specified on Schedule I to the Global Notes. The Company agrees that, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding and, unless to do so is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions, it will maintain a paying agent outside the United States, and so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange shall so require, it will maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg, for payments with respect to the Notes and the Coupons and where the Notes may be presented or surrendered and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes, the Coupons and the Fiscal Agency Agreement may be served. The Company may with the approval of the Fiscal Agent change any of the Paying Agents or their specified offices. Notice of any change in the Paying Agents or in their specified offices will be given to the Noteholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of the Conditions.

The Company will maintain at all times an office or agency solely for the purpose of receiving notices and demands (other than demands for payment) from the holders of the Notes and the Coupons but not for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Notes or the Coupons. The Company has initially appointed the office of the Fiscal Agent for the purpose of receiving notices and demands from the holders of the Notes and Coupons.

Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, the Paying Agents, the Fiscal Agent and the Company shall be entitled, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, to treat the bearer of any Note or Coupon as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not such Note or Coupon shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment when due in full or in part and for all other purposes and shall not be required to obtain any proof thereof or as to the identity of the bearer.

In the case of the redemption of any Note prior to maturity, the Note shall be presented for payment together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining to that Note; failing presentation of all such Coupons, the payment of principal will only be made against the Noteholder giving such indemnity and providing such other documents in respect of the missing unmatured Coupons as the Company may require. In the case of any such redemption, the unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto shall become void and no payment shall be due in respect thereof.

D-11

If the due date for redemption of any Note is not an Interest Payment Date, the interest accrued from the preceding Interest Payment Date (or from the Issue Date, as the case may be) shall be payable only against surrender of the relevant Note.

All monies paid by the Company to the Fiscal Agent for payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (including Additional Amounts, if any) and remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has been made shall be paid to the Company, and to the extent permitted by law, the holder of such Note thereafter may look only to the Company for payment as a general unsecured creditor thereof. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, any payment that will be made by the Company under this paragraph with respect to Notes will be made outside the United States.

Section 8. Payment of Additional Amounts.

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes or Coupons will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event such withholding or deduction is required by law, subject to the limitations set forth below, the Company will pay as additional interest on the Notes or Coupons to the holder or beneficial owner of any Note or Coupon who is a United States Alien such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment by the Company or any Paying Agent of principal of or interest on the Notes or Coupons (including upon redemption), after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided for in such Note or Coupon to be then due and payable before any such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to:

(a) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner or person having such a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business therein or being or having been present therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein, (ii) the failure of such holder or beneficial owner to comply with any requirement under United States income tax laws and regulations to establish entitlement to a partial or complete exemption from such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge (other than any such exemption which is

D-12

conditioned upon the disclosure to the Company, any paying agent or governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of the beneficial owner of the Note or Coupon), or (iii) such holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former status as a personal holding company or a foreign personal holding company with respect to the United States, as a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States, as a passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States, as a foreign tax exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(b) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the holder or beneficial owner (i) owning or having owned, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, 10 per cent. or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, (ii) being a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or (iii) being a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States that is related to the Company by stock ownership;

(c) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the holder or beneficial owner of such Note or Coupon for payment on a date more than 10 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for and notice is given to holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the such Note or Coupon on any date during such 10-day period;

(d) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property, wealth, interest equalization or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(e) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of or interest on such Note or Coupon;

(f) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable by a holder that is not the beneficial owner of the Note or the Coupon, or a portion of either, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other similar entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or member of such partnership, limited liability company or similar entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had such beneficial owner, settlor, beneficiary or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(g) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note or Coupon, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent; or

(h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g).

For purposes of the foregoing, the holding of or the receipt of any payment with respect to a Note or a Coupon shall not constitute a connection between the holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity) and the United States.

D-13

Any reference herein, in the Fiscal Agency Agreement or in the Notes to principal or interest shall be deemed to refer to Additional Amounts which may be payable under the provisions of this section.

The Company shall pay all stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein with respect to the execution and delivery of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or issuance of the Notes.

Except as specifically provided in the Notes, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

“United States Alien,” as used in these Terms and Conditions, means any corporation, partnership, individual or fiduciary that, as to the United States, is (i) a foreign corporation, (ii) a nonresident alien individual, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, as to the United States, a foreign corporation, a nonresident alien individual or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

Section 9. Events of Default.

The happening of one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Note (including any Additional Amounts in respect thereof) when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(b) default in the payment of the principal of any Note when the same shall become due and payable (whether at maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise); or

(c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in the Fiscal Agency Agreement (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Condition specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail to the Company and the Fiscal Agent by the Holders of at least 25 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(d) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company

D-14

under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the fling by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action.

If at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (d) or (e) of this Section, the holder of this Note may, at such Noteholder’s option, declare the principal of this Note and the interest accrued hereon to be due and payable immediately, and at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section, the holders of not less than 25 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all of the Notes and the interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, by written notice to the Company and the Fiscal Agent, and unless all such defaults shall have been cured or duly waived by the Company prior to receipt of such written notice, the principal of this Note or all the Notes, as the case may be, and the interest accrued thereon (including Additional Amounts, if any) shall become and be immediately due and payable.

Section 10. Replacement of Notes and Coupons.

If any Note (including the Coupons appertaining to any Notes) is mutilated, defaced, apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute and, upon the written request of the Company, the Fiscal Agent will replace such Note (in such capacity, the “Replacement Agent”) by issuing a new Note upon the surrender of such mutilated or defaced Note or delivery of satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Replacement Agent. In any such case, indemnity and other documents satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent and the Company may be required of the holders of such Note before a replacement Note will be issued. All expenses associated with obtaining such indemnity and in issuing the new Note shall be borne by the holder of the mutilated, defaced, apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Note. No such replacement Note or Coupon shall be delivered in the United States.

D-15

Section 11. Notices.

All notices to the holders of interests in the Notes will be given by publication at least once in a newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times) and, so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, in a newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, if publication in London or Luxembourg is not practicable, publication may be made in another principal city in Europe in a newspaper of general circulation. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication, or if published on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made in any publication in which it is required. Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notices given to the Noteholders in accordance with this paragraph.

Until such time as any Definitive Notes are issued, there may, so long as a Global Note is held in its entirety on behalf of Euroclear and Cedelbank, be substituted for such publication in London, the delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and Cedelbank for communication by them to the persons shown in their records as having interests in such a Global Note credited to them and any such notices will be deemed to have been given on the seventh day after delivery to Euroclear and Cedelbank; provided, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to publish any notices in a newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require such publication.

Section 12. Meetings of the Noteholders, Modification and Waiver.

(a) Modifications and amendments to the Fiscal Agency Agreement with respect to the Notes or to these Conditions, insofar as such modifications or amendments affect the rights, powers, duties or obligations of the holders of Notes, may be made, and future compliance with or past default by the Company under any of the provisions hereof or thereof may be waived, by the holders of the Notes, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, or of such lesser percentage as may act at a meeting of holders of Notes held in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, to be held at such time and at such place as the Company shall determine; provided that no such modification, amendment or waiver may, without the consent of the holder of each such Note affected thereby, (i) waive a default in the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on any such Note, or change the stated maturity of the principal of or any instalment of interest on any such Note; (ii) reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on any such Note or change the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Note pursuant to Section 8 hereof; (iii) change the currency of payment of principal of or interest on any such Note; (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to any such Note; (v) reduce the percentage of aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding necessary to modify or amend the Fiscal Agency Agreement or these Conditions or reduce the percentage of votes required for the adoption of any action at a meeting of the holders of Notes; or (vi) modify the obligation of the Company to maintain an office or agency outside the United States for the purposes specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Any modifications, amendments or waivers

D-16

to the Fiscal Agency Agreement or to these Conditions will be conclusive and binding on all holders of the Notes, whether or not they have given such consent or were present at such meeting, and on all holders of Coupons, whether or not notation of such modifications, amendments or waivers is made upon the Notes or Coupons, and on all future holders of Notes and Coupons. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any holder of a Note in connection with any consent to any such modification, amendment or waiver will be irrevocable once given and will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent holders of such Note.

(b) Notice of any meeting of holders of Notes, setting forth the time and place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given in accordance with Section 11 of these Conditions at least twice, the first publication to be not less than 20 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of holders of Notes, a person shall be (i) a holder of one or more Notes, including a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note with respect to the Notes, or (ii) a person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by the holder of one or more Notes. The only persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of holders of Notes shall be the persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.

(c) The persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding shall constitute a quorum at a meeting convened for the purpose referred to above except as hereinafter provided. No business shall be transacted in the absence of a quorum, unless a quorum is present when the meeting is called to order. In the absence of a quorum, the meeting shall be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting shall be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided above except that such notice need be given only once but must be given not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Subject to the foregoing, at the reconvening of any meeting further adjourned for lack of a quorum, the persons entitled to vote 25 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding 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 outstanding Notes which shall constitute a quorum.

(d) At a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid, any resolution (except a resolution relating to any of the matters set out in Section 12(a)(i) to (vi) (inclusive) of this Condition) shall be effectively passed and decided if passed and/or decided by the persons entitled to vote the lesser of (i) a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (ii) 75 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented and voting at the meeting. Any holder of Notes who has executed an instrument in writing appointing a person as proxy shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted if such person duly appointed as proxy is present and has voted; provided that such holder of Notes shall be considered as present for the purposes of determining a quorum or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of Notes duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the holders of Notes whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

D-17

(e) The holding of Notes shall be proved by the production of such Notes or by a certificate, satisfactory to the Company, executed by any bank, banker, trust company or recognized securities dealer, wherever situated, satisfactory to the Company. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Note bearing a specified serial number and having a specified denomination was deposited with or exhibited to such bank, banker, trust company or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate or, in the case of Notes represented by beneficial interests in a Global Note, that such person is entitled to such beneficial interest and specifying the principal amount thereof. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Notes specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Note specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (i) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Note shall be produced, (ii) the Note specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person or (iii) the Note specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. The appointment of any proxy shall be proved by having the signature of the person executing the proxy guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or London or New York Stock Exchange member firm satisfactory to the Company.

(g) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of holders of Notes shall be by written ballot. The permanent chairman 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 duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of holders of Notes shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to the 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 fact setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was published as provided above. The record shall be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other duplicate to the Fiscal Agent to be preserved by the Fiscal Agent, the latter 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.

D-18

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12(a) above, the Notes (including the Conditions) and the Fiscal Agency Agreement may be amended by the Company and the Fiscal Agent without the consent of any Noteholders or Couponholders, for the purpose of (i) adding to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of Notes or Coupons, (ii) surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Company, (iii) permitting payment of principal and interest on Notes or Coupons in the United States to the extent then permitted under applicable regulations of the United States Treasury Department and provided no adverse tax consequences would result to the Noteholders or Couponholders, as the case may be, (iv) evidencing the succession of a corporation or other person to the Company and the assumption by such successor of the covenants and obligations of the Company in the Notes (including the Conditions) and the Fiscal Agency Agreement or (v) correcting or supplementing any provision contained herein or therein.

Section 13. Redenomination.

The Company may, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice in accordance with Condition 11 hereof, to Euroclear, Cedelbank and the Paying Agents, designate a date (the “Redenomination Date”), being an Interest Payment Date falling on or after the date on which the United Kingdom becomes one of the countries participating in the third stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Community as amended by the Treaty on European Union (as so amended, the “Treaty”) or otherwise participates in European economic and monetary union in a manner and with similar effect to such third stage.

The term “euro” means the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty.

With effect from the Redenomination Date, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Fiscal Agency Agreement:

(a) the Notes shall (unless already so provided by mandatory provisions of applicable law) be deemed to be redenominated into euro in the denomination of euro 0.01 with a principal amount for each Note equal to the principal amount of that Note in British Pounds Sterling, converted into euro at the rate for conversion of British Pounds Sterling into euro established by the Council of the European Union pursuant to the Treaty (including compliance with rules relating to rounding in accordance with European Community regulations), provided that, if the Company determines, after consultation with the Fiscal Agent, that the then market practice in respect of the redenomination into euro 0.01 of internationally offered securities is different from the provisions specified above, such provisions shall be deemed to be amended so as to comply with such market practice and the Company shall promptly notify the Noteholders and Couponholders in accordance with Condition 11 hereof, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Paying Agents of such deemed amendments;

(b) if Definitive Notes have been issued, all unmatured Coupons (whether or not attached to the Notes) will become void and no payments or exchange will be made in respect of them. New euro-denominated Notes (in the denominations of euro 1,000, euro 10,000, euro 100,000 and (but only to the extent of any remaining amounts less than euro 1,000 or such

D-19

smaller denominations as the Fiscal Agent may approve) euro 0.01 and such other denominations as the Fiscal Agent shall determine and as shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 11 hereof) and Coupons will be issued at the expense of the Company in exchange for British Pounds Sterling Notes and Coupons in such manner as the Fiscal Agent may specify and notify to Noteholders and Couponholders in accordance with Condition 11 hereof;

(c) all payments in respect of the Notes (other than, unless the Redenomination Date is on or after such date as British Pounds Sterling ceases to be a sub-division of the euro, payments of interest in respect of periods commencing before the Redenomination Date) will be made solely in euro. Such payments will be made in euro by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee or, at the option of the payee, by euro check;

(d) a Note or Coupon may only be presented for payment on a day which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets are open in New York City and the place of presentation and which is a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Transfer (TARGET) System is open;

(e) the amount of interest in respect of Notes will be calculated by reference to the aggregate principal amount of Notes presented (or, as the case may be, in respect of which coupons are presented) for payment by the relevant holder and the amount of such payment shall be rounded down the nearest euro 0.01;

(f) if interest is required to be calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each and in the case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed; and

(g) such other changes shall be made to the provisions herein or otherwise in connection with the Notes as the Company may decide, after consultation with the Fiscal Agent, and as may be specified in the notice in which the Redenomination Date is designated, in order to conform them to conventions then applicable to instruments denominated in euro or to enable the Notes to be consolidated with one or more issues of other notes, whether or not originally denominated in British Pounds Sterling or euro. Any such other changes will not take effect until after they have been notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 11 hereof.

The circumstances and consequences described in “Redenomination” entitle neither the Company nor any Noteholder to early redemption, rescission, repudiation, adjustment or renegotiation of the terms and conditions of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes, as applicable, or to raise other defenses or to request any compensation claim, nor will they affect any other obligations of the Company under the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Notes.

Section 14. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the holder of any Note, any right with respect thereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Rights pursuant to the terms of the Notes shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of rights to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

D-20

Section 15. Governing Law.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America.

Section 16. Warranties of the Company.

Subject to authentication of the Note to which these Conditions are attached by the Fiscal Agent, the Company hereby represents and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened prior to the creation and issuance of such Note and the Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto and to constitute the same legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, have been done and performed and have happened in accordance with all applicable laws.
