Section 3.02 Events of Default. With respect to the Securities only, Section 5.01 of the Senior Indenture is amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the section:

The exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under this Section 5.01.

Section 3.04. Agreement with Respect to Exercise of U.K. Bail-In Power. The following provisions relate solely to the Securities established pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture:

(a) By purchasing the Securities, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of the Securities acknowledges, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result in (i) the cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities and/or (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person, which U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the above. Each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of the Securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders under the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority expressed to implement such a cancellation or conversion.

(b) By purchasing the Securities each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of the Securities:

(i) acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in respect of the Securities shall not give rise to a default or an Event of Default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, any of the Securities remain outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of the Securities), then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment to this Third Supplemental Indenture.

(c) By purchasing the Securities, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) that acquires its Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Securities related to the U.K. bail-in power.

Section 4.01. Appointment of Agent for Service. With respect to any series of Senior Debt Securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the Securities, Section 1.14 of the Senior Indenture is amended and restated in its entirety and shall read as follows:

Section 1.14. Appointment of Agent for Service. Each of the Company and the Guarantor has designated and appointed the Chief U.S. Counsel, Lloyds Bank plc (or any successor thereto), currently of 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding in any Federal or State court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York arising out of or relating to the Senior Debt Securities, this Senior Debt Securities Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture, but for that purpose only, and agrees that service of process upon such authorized agent shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding in any Federal or State court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York. Such appointment shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Senior Debt Securities remain Outstanding until the appointment of a successor by the Company or the Guarantor and such successor’s acceptance of such appointment. Upon such acceptance, the Company or the Guarantor shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of such successor. Each of the Company and the Guarantor further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of such authorized agent in full force and effect so long as any of the Senior Debt Securities shall be Outstanding. The Trustee shall not be obligated and shall have no responsibility with respect to any failure by the Company or the Guarantor to take any such action. Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby submits (for the purposes of any such suit or proceeding) to the jurisdiction of any such court in which any such suit or proceeding is so instituted, and waives, to the extent it may effectively do so, any right to trial by jury and any objection it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such suit or proceeding.

Section 4.02. Notices to Trustee. With respect to any series of Senior Debt Securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the Securities, Section 1.05(a) of the Senior Indenture is amended and restated in part to read as follows:

Section 1.05. Notices, Etc. to Trustee, Company and Guarantor. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by the Senior Debt Securities Indenture or the Third Supplemental Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which may be via facsimile) to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and the Trustee agrees to accept and act upon facsimile transmission of written instructions pursuant to the Senior Debt Securities Indenture or the Third Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that (x) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (y) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions; or

Section 4.03. Additional Amounts. With respect to any series of Senior Debt Securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the Securities, Section 10.04 of the Senior Indenture is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:

Section 10.04. Additional Amounts. Amounts to be paid on any series of Senior Debt Securities or under the Guarantee will be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present and future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (the “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to make such deduction or withholding, the Company, or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay additional amounts with respect to the principal of, interest and any other payment on, the Senior Debt Securities (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary in order that the net amounts paid to the Holders of Senior Debt Securities of the particular series, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have been payable on the Senior Debt Securities if the deduction or withholding had not been required. However, this will not apply to any such tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee, which would not have been deducted or withheld but for the fact that:

(i) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Senior Debt Security is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or is physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of a Senior Debt Security, or the collection of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest, or other payment on, any Senior Debt Security of the relevant series or under the Guarantee,

(ii) except in the case of winding-up in the United Kingdom, the relevant Senior Debt Security is presented (where presentation is required) for payment in the United Kingdom,

(iii) the relevant Senior Debt Security is presented (where presentation is required) for payment more than 30 days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment at the close of that 30 day period,

(iv) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the relevant Senior Debt Security or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of or any interest or other payment on, the Senior Debt Security failed to comply with a request of the Company or its liquidator or guarantor or other authorized person addressed to the Holder (x) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or the beneficial owner or (y) to make any declaration or other similar claim to satisfy any requirement, which in the case of (x) or (y), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee,

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

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

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

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

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

Whenever in this Senior Debt Securities Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any interest or other payments on, in respect of, any Senior Debt Security of any series such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and as if express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) were made in any provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. Upon request from the Trustee or a paying agent, the Company and/or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall provide information reasonably necessary and readily available in order to enable to the Trustee or paying agent to determine whether any withholding obligations under FATCA apply. Neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or a paying agent shall have any liability in connection with the Company’s or Trustee’s or paying agent’s compliance with any such withholding obligation under applicable law.

[REVERSE OF SECURITY]

This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Senior Notes”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of January 21, 2011 (herein called the “Senior Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, the Guarantor, as guarantor, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 5, 2014, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Third Supplemental Indenture, and, together with the Senior Indenture, the “Indenture”) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes and of the terms upon which the Senior Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

This Senior Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000. The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Senior Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and interest rate, maturity date, redemption terms and other terms as the Senior Notes except for the price to the public and issue date, provided that such further notes must be fungible with the outstanding Senior Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such Senior Notes, together with this Senior Note, will constitute a single series of securities under the Indenture. The Senior Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more global Senior Notes (each, a “Global Senior Note”). Except as provided in the Indenture, a Global Senior Note shall not be exchangeable for one or more definitive Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes of this series will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, as described herein, and will rank pari passu without any preference among themselves.

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

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

By acceptance of the Senior Notes of this Series, the Holder will be deemed to have waived any right of set-off or counterclaim with respect to such Senior Notes that they might otherwise have against the Company or the Guarantor, whether before or during a winding-up of the Company or the Guarantor.

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

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

(ii) except in the case of winding-up of in the United Kingdom, the relevant Senior Note is presented (where presentation is required) for payment in the United Kingdom,

(iii) the relevant Senior Note is presented (where presentation is required) for payment more than 30 days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment at the close of that 30 day period,

(iv) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the relevant Senior Note or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or interest or other payments on, the Senior Note failed to comply with a request of the Company or its liquidator or guarantor or other authorized person addressed to the Holder (x) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (y) to make any declaration or other similar claim to satisfy any requirement, which in the case of (x) or (y), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee,

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

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

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

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

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

References herein to the payment of the principal of or interest or other payments on any Senior Note shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the foregoing paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable under the foregoing provisions.

The Senior Notes of this series are redeemable, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company or the Guarantor, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, on any Payment Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest, in respect of the Senior Notes to the date fixed for redemption, if, at any time, the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor shall determine that as a result of a change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of the Taxing Jurisdiction (including any treaty to which such Taxing Jurisdiction is a party), or any change in the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a decision of any court or tribunal) which change or amendment becomes effective on or after September 5, 2014:

(a) in making payment under the Senior Notes the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) has or will or would on the next Interest Payment Date become obligated to pay Additional Amounts;

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

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

In any case where the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) shall determine that as a result of any change in the official application or interpretation of any laws or regulations it is entitled to redeem the Senior Notes of this series, the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) shall be required to deliver to the Trustee prior to the giving of any notice of redemption a written legal opinion of independent United Kingdom counsel of recognized standing (selected by the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor) in a form satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that the relevant change in the official application or interpretation of such laws or regulations has occurred and that the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) is entitled to exercise its right of redemption.

If the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) elects to redeem the Senior Notes of this series, the Senior Notes will cease to accrue interest from the date of redemption, provided the redemption price has been paid in accordance with the Indenture.

Upon payment of (i) the amount of principal (and premium, if any) so declared due and payable and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, all of the Company’s (or, if applicable, the Guarantor’s) obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Senior Notes of this series shall terminate.

By purchasing the Senior Notes, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of the Senior Notes acknowledges, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result in (i) the cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Senior Notes and/or (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Senior Notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person, which U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the Senior Notes solely to give effect to the above. Each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of the Senior Notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders under the Senior Notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority expressed to implement such a cancellation or conversion.

By purchasing the Senior Notes each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of the Senior Notes:

(i) acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in respect of the Senior Notes shall not give rise to a default or an Event of Default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act;

Indenture, and (b) neither the Senior Indenture nor this Third Supplemental Indenture shall impose any duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, the Senior Notes remain outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of the Senior Notes), then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Senior Notes following such completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment to this Third Supplemental Indenture.

By purchasing the Senior Notes, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) that acquires its Senior Notes in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Senior Notes that acquire the Senior Notes upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Senior Notes related to the U.K. bail-in power.

By its purchase of the Senior Notes, each Holder and Beneficial Owner shall be deemed to have (i) consented to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Senior Notes and (ii) authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Senior Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power with respect to the Senior Notes as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or Beneficial Owner.

No repayment of the principal amount of the Senior Notes or payment of interest on the Senior Notes shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority unless, at the time that such repayment or payment, respectively, is scheduled to become due, such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Company under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Company and the Group.

Upon the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Senior Notes, the Company shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. bail-in power for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes.

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 Senior Notes of each series to be affected thereby by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time outstanding of each such series. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes of each series, on behalf of the Holders of all Senior Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company 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 Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, if and when due and payable, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Senior Note of this series will have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, this Senior Note or any remedy thereunder; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal or interest as and when the same shall have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the right of the Holder of this Senior Note, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Senior Note when due and payable in accordance with the provisions of this Senior Note and the Indenture.

This Senior Note will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Senior Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
