For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as follows:

ARTICLE ONE

CREATION OF THE NOTES

Section 1.1. Designation of Series. Pursuant to the terms hereof and Sections 201 and 301 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby creates one series of Securities designated the “3.067% Guaranteed Notes due 2050”, which Notes shall be deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Base Indenture.

Section 1.2. Form of Notes. The form of the Notes shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A, as attached hereto, which is incorporated herein and made part hereof. The Notes shall bear interest, be payable and have such other terms as are stated in said form of the Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A, and in the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Fifth Supplemental Indenture. The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be March 30, 2050.

Section 1.3. Limit on Amount of Series. The Notes shall not exceed U.S.$500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount Outstanding under the Base Indenture at any time, except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 301 of the Base Indenture. The Notes may, upon the execution and delivery of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture or from time to time thereafter, be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes upon the delivery of a Company Order and such other documents as shall be required by the Base Indenture.

In order for the exercise of the Put Option to be effective and the Notes to be repaid, such notice must be delivered to the Trustee during the period from and including January 30, 2025 to and including the close of business on February 28, 2025 (or, if February 28, 2025 is not a business day, the next succeeding business day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Security evidencing the Notes has been exchanged in accordance with Section 305 of the Base Indenture for a Security which is not a Global Security, then in order for the exercise of the Put Option to be effective and the Notes to be repaid, the Company must receive, at the office of the Trustee located at The Bank of

Exercise of the Put Option by a Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. No transfer or exchange of any Note (or in the event any Note is to be repaid in part, such portion of such Note to be repaid) will be permitted after exercise of the Put Option with respect to such Note or such portion of such Note. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a Note for redemption will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding.

Section 1.6. No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund will be provided with respect to the Notes.

Section 1.7. Notes Not Convertible or Exchangeable. The Notes will not be convertible or exchangeable for other securities or property.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 4, 2003 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, as Issuer, BP p.l.c., as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) (such Base Indenture as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 13, 2019 (the “Indenture”)) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

This Security is not redeemable prior to March 30, 2050 (the “Stated Maturity”), except that this Security may be redeemed in accordance with the terms specified below, and pursuant to Section 1108 of the Base Indenture; the date specified for the Securities of this series, for purposes of said Section 1108, is December 9, 2019.

On or after March 31, 2025 and prior to September 30, 2049 (the date that is six months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Securities), the Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as a whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be due if such Securities matured on September 30, 2049 (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”)) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. On or after September 30, 2049 (the date that is six months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Securities), the Securities of this series are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. For purposes of determining the Optional Redemption Price, the following terms shall apply:

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.

“Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company to act as the “Quotation Agent”.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or one of its affiliates, which is a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and its successors, and two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding that Redemption Date.

The Holder shall have the right to elect to have the Company redeem this Security in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 on March 30, 2025 at a price equal to 94.022% of the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed together with accrued interest to such date (the “Put Option”). In order to exercise the Put Option, the Holder shall notify the Trustee of the exercise of such option in accordance with the then-applicable operating procedures of DTC. In order for the exercise of the Put Option to be effective and this Security to be repaid, such notice must be delivered to the Trustee during the period from and including January 30, 2025 to and including the close of business on February 28, 2025 (or, if February 28, 2025 is not a business day, the next succeeding business day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Security has been exchanged in accordance with Section 305 of the Base Indenture for a Security which is not a Global Security, then in order for the exercise of the Put Option to be effective and such Security to be repaid, the Company must receive, at the office of the Trustee located at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 0 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx

000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) sent to xxxxxxxxxx00@xx.xxx, during the period from and including January 30, 2025 to and including the close of business on February 28, 2025 (or, if February 28, 2025 is not a business day, the next succeeding business day), such Security, together with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” attached hereto as Annex I and which shall be attached to such Security duly completed. Exercise of the Put Option by a Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. No transfer or exchange of any Security (or in the event any Security is to be repaid in part, such portion of such Security to be repaid) will be permitted after exercise of the Put Option with respect to such Security or such portion of such Security. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a Security for redemption will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity,

and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

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

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to Section 307 of the Indenture), whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture provides that the Company and the Guarantor, at the Guarantor’s option, (a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for

payment in trust) or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or Government Obligations which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal of and interest on the Securities on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Securities and Guarantees, and certain other conditions are satisfied.

Except in the limited circumstances described in Section 305 of the Indenture, the Securities of this series shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and The Depository Trust Company shall be the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except that the authorization and execution of this Security shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Company.

The Guarantor hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Guarantor is incorporated, shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Guarantor will pay to the Holder of such Security such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security who, with respect to any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge, is not resident in such jurisdiction, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is entitled; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts (1) for or on account of any such tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (2) for or on account of:

(e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting such Security to another Paying Agent;

(f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is imposed on a payment pursuant to the European Union Directive approved on June 3, 2003, regarding taxation of, and information exchange member states of the European Union with respect to, interest income or any law implementing such directive; or

(g) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, such Security to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary 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 of such Security.

The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Guarantor is organized, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or such Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the interest rate thereon or impose or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of and interest on such Security. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.

No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed therein.

This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of such Security shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture.

This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except that the authorization and execution of the Guarantee shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Guarantor.

All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in such Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in such Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be signed manually or in facsimile by a person duly authorized in that behalf.
