(Reverse of Security)

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities” and each, a “Security”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under and governed by the Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of January 17, 2018 (as heretofore amended and supplemented, the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture (as defined below)) as amended and supplemented by the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 12, 2024 (the “Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Security, the Indenture shall control for purposes of this Security. All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, which amount may be increased at the option of the Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof.

The provisions set forth in Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture are applicable to this Security. In addition, the Company agrees, to the extent the Company has actual knowledge of such information, to provide the Paying Agent with sufficient information about any modification to the terms of the Securities for the purposes of determining whether FATCA Withholding Tax applies to any payment of principal or interest on the Securities.

The Company may redeem the Securities pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture. The Company may also redeem the Securities pursuant to Section 11.09 of the Base Indenture and/or Section 2.05 of the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture. Any redemption of Securities by the Company is subject to the notice period and provisions set forth in Sections 11.02 and 11.04 of the Base Indenture and in Section 2.06 of the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, and to the conditions set forth in Section 11.10 and Section 11.13 of the Base Indenture.

The Company may repurchase the Securities pursuant to Section 11.12 and Section 11.13 of the Base Indenture.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by each Holder and Beneficial Owner pursuant to this Security, including the consents given by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Beneficial Owner, shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Beneficial Owner.

The Securities shall constitute the Company’s direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall rank as set forth in Section 2.01(k) of the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture.

D-8

The Securities are subject to the waiver of set-off provisions set forth in Section 5.01(h) of the Base Indenture.

This Security is subject to the provisions regarding the U.K. Bail-in Power Acknowledgement set forth in Section 12.01 of the Base Indenture.

The Securities are subject to provisions set forth in Article 5 of the Base Indenture.

If a Winding-Up Event occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Security, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable, without the need of any further action on the part of the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person.

If a Non-Payment Event occurs, the Trustee may at its discretion, and without further notice to the Company, institute proceedings in England (or such other jurisdiction in which the Company may be organized) (but not elsewhere) for the winding-up of the Company and/or prove in a winding-up of the Company and/or claim in a liquidation or administration of the Company.

Subject to applicable law, no Holder of Securities may exercise, claim or plead any right of set-off, compensation, counterclaim, retention or netting in respect of any amount owed to it by the Company arising under, or in connection with, the Securities and each Holder of Securities shall, by virtue of its holding of any Securities (or any beneficial interest therein), be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, to have waived all such rights of set-off, compensation, counterclaim, retention and netting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amounts due and payable to any Holder of this Security by the Company in respect of, or arising under, this Security are discharged by set-off, compensation, counterclaim, retention or netting, such Holder shall, subject to applicable law, immediately pay an amount equal to the amount of such discharge to the Company (or, in the event of its winding-up or administration, the liquidator or administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, until such time as payment is made, shall hold an amount equal to such amount in trust for the Company (or the liquidator or administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, accordingly, any such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place. By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner agrees to be bound by these provisions relating to waiver of set-off, compensation, counterclaim, retention and netting.

The Indenture permits the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the Indenture as contemplated by Article 9 of the Base Indenture. To the extent required by the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, but otherwise notwithstanding any other provision in this Security, the Holder of this Security shall have the right to receive (subject to Section 3.07 of the Base Indenture) payment of any principal of, and interest on, this Security when due (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder or holder.

D-9

This Security, and any other Securities of this series and of like tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $200,000 and increments of $1,000 thereafter. The denominations cannot be changed without the consent of the Trustee. The provisions on registration, transfer and exchange of the Securities set forth in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture are applicable to the Securities.

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 Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for the waiver of set-off provisions referenced herein and set forth in Section 5.01(h) of the Base Indenture, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.
