5.25% NOTES DUE 2035

1. Indenture; Notes. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as the “5.25% Notes Due 2035” (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of £1,000,000,000 on September 29, 2004. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company, issued or issuable under and pursuant to, the Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2002 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company, as Issuer and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to Bank One Trust Company, NA, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which this Note is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.

All capitalized terms which are used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The Company may, without the consent of the holders, issue and sell additional Securities ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise identical in all respects (except for their date of issue, issue price and the date from which interest payments thereon shall accrue) so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes; provided, however, that no additional Securities of any existing or new series may be issued under the Indenture if an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured thereunder.

2. Ranking. The Notes shall constitute the senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company and shall rank equally in right of payment among themselves and with all other existing and future senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company.

3. Payment of Overdue Amounts. The Company shall pay interest, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.

4. Optional Redemption. (a) The Notes may be redeemed by the Company in whole or in part on any date (such date, the “Redemption Date”) to be fixed by the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Calculation Agent, the price at which the yield on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes on the Reference Date is equal to the yield on the Benchmark Gilt as of that date as determined by reference to the middle-market price on the

Benchmark Gilt at 3:00 p.m., London time, on that date (such greater price, the “Redemption Price”), in either case, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed up to, but excluding the Redemption Date.

“Benchmark Gilt” means the 4.25% Treasury Stock due March 7, 2036 or such other U.K. government stock as the Calculation Agent, with the advice of three brokers and/or gilt-edged market makers or three other persons operating in the U.K. gilt-edged market that may be chosen by the Calculation Agent, may determine from time to time to be the most appropriate benchmark U.K. government stock for the Notes.

“Calculation Agent” means ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust Company, National Association, or any successor entity.

“Reference Date” means the date that is the first dealing day in London prior to the publication of the notice of redemption referred to in Section 4(b) below.

(b) The Company shall give notice of any redemption between 30 and 60 days preceding the Redemption Date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed, pursuant to Section 17 hereof.

(c) In the event the Company redeems any amount of the Notes that is less than the total principal amount then outstanding, selection of the Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to be fair and appropriate, provided, however, that no Note of £1,000 in original principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. If this Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to this Note will state the portion of the principal amount hereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued and delivered to the Trustee, or its nominee, upon cancellation of this Note.

(d) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price of the Notes, on and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on this Note or the portion hereof called for redemption.

(e) If the Company elects to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, pursuant to this Section 4, then it shall give notice to the holders pursuant to Section 17 hereof.

The notice of redemption shall specify the following:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) a brief statement to the effect that the Notes are being redeemed at the option of the Company pursuant to this Section 4;

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and if such amount is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the manner of selection of the Notes to be redeemed;

(iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed, if any, will become due and payable;

(v) the amount of the Redemption Price and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, that will be due and payable on the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date;

(vi) the place or places of payment of the amounts due under clause (v) above;

(vii) that payment of the amounts due under clause (v) above will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed; and

(viii) that, following the redemption of any or all of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4, interest shall cease to accrue on such redeemed Notes.

The notice of redemption regarding the Notes shall be, at the election of the Company, given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

On or before the opening of business on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the U.S. Paying Agent (as defined herein), London Paying Agent (as defined herein) or the Irish Paying Agent (as defined herein) or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.03 of the Indenture, an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, accrued but unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date.

The notice of redemption having been given as specified above, the Notes to be so redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price, and from and after such date, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of the Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

If any of the Notes, having been called for redemption, shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price for the Notes to be redeemed shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the interest rate borne by this Note.

In the event of the redemption of the Notes in part only, this Note shall be cancelled and the Company shall issue a Global Note to represent the Notes outstanding following the Redemption Date.

5. Payment of Additional Amounts; Redemption Upon a Tax Event.

(a) Payment of Additional Amounts. The Company shall pay to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below) such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment of principal of and interest on this Note to such holder, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon such holder by the United States of America or any taxing authority

thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable (such amounts, the “Additional Amounts”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

(i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for (A) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, and the United States including, without limitation, such holder, or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States of America or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in trade or business or present in the United States of America, or (B) the presentation of this Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of (x) the date on which such payment becomes due and payable and (y) the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for;

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

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

denominated into euro, and the regulations of the European Commission relating to the euro shall apply to the Notes. The circumstances and consequences described in this Section 6 will not entitle the Company, the Trustee or any holder of the Notes to redeem early, rescind, or receive notice relating to the Notes, repudiate the terms of the Notes or the Indenture, raise any defense, request any compensation or make any claim, nor will these circumstances and consequences affect any of the Company’s other obligations under the Notes or the Indenture.

However, the Indenture requires the consent of each holder of the Notes and Securities of other series that would be affected for certain specified amendments or modifications of the Indenture and the Notes.

13. Form and Denominations; Global Notes; Definitive Notes. The Notes are being issued in registered form without coupons in denominations of £1,000 and multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof.

Such Definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

14. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the transfer and exchange of the Notes, whether in global or certificated form.

The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem and treat the holder as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not the Notes shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payments hereon, or on account hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments made to or upon the order of such holder shall, to the extent of the amount or amounts paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 14, any registration of transfer or exchange of a Global Note shall be subject to the terms of the legend appearing on the initial page thereof.

15. No Recourse Against Others. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company arising under or set forth in the Notes or under the

Indenture, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
