“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to: (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the week immediately prior to the calculation date, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15”, or any successor publication that is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that establishes yields on actively

- 8 -

traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, for the maturity most closely corresponding to the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Par Redemption Date of the Securities being redeemed (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Par Redemption Date of the Securities to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week immediately prior to the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date; provided that, if the period from the Redemption Date to the applicable Fixed-to-Floating Rate Par Redemption Date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.

The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Determination Agent on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

In determining the Treasury Rate, the below terms will have the following meaning:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Determination Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable with the remaining term to the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Par Redemption Date of the relevant Securities that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars and of comparable maturity to the remaining term to the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Par Redemption Date of the relevant Securities.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date (calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date), after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received, the arithmetic average of all such quotations, or (iii) if fewer than two such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received, then such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation as quoted in writing to the Determination Agent by a Reference Treasury Dealer.

“Determination Agent” means an investment bank or financial institution of international standing selected by the Company and which may be an affiliate of the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of up to five banks selected by the Company (following, where practicable, consultation with the Determination Agent, if applicable), or the affiliates of such banks, which are (i) primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors, or (ii) market makers in pricing corporate bond issues.

- 9 -

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Determination Agent, of the bid and offered prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

Unless the Company defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. The Trustee has no responsibility for any calculation or determination in respect of the establishment of the Make-Whole Redemption price and shall be entitled to receive and rely conclusively upon an Officer’s Certificate executed in accordance with the Base Indenture that states the Make-Whole Redemption price.

SECTION 2.05 Loss Absorption Disqualification Event Redemption. If a Loss Absorption Regulations Event occurs on or after the Issue Date that does, or would be likely to (in the opinion of the Company, the PRA or any other relevant national or European authority), result in a Loss Absorption Disqualification Event, the Company may, at the Company’s option, at any time, redeem the Securities of any or all series, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the relevant Redemption Date, as applicable, provided that such Loss Absorption Disqualification Event cannot be avoided by the Company exercising its option to cause an Events of Default Substitution in accordance with SECTION 2.06 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture, Article 11 of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of Securities pursuant to this SECTION 2.05.

SECTION 2.06 Events of Default Substitution. If the inclusion of any of the “Events of Default” set forth in Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture in the terms of the Securities of a series does, or would be likely to (in the opinion of the Company, the PRA or any other relevant national or European authority), result in a Loss Absorption Disqualification Event following a Loss Absorption Regulations Event that occurs on or after the Issue Date, then the Company may, at the Company’s option, without the need for the Company to obtain any consent from any Holders of the Securities, determine that the terms of Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 (except for Sections 5.03(c) and 5.03(f)) of the Base Indenture shall cease to apply to the Securities of such series and shall be replaced in their entirety by the enforcement events and remedies set forth in SECTION 2.07 hereof.

SECTION 2.07 Enforcement Events and Remedies Following an Events of Default Substitution

(a) If a Winding-Up Event occurs, the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, 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.

- 10 -

(b) If the Company fails to pay any amount that has become due and payable under the Securities of a series and such failure continues for fourteen (14) days, the Trustee may provide a written notice of such failure to the Company. If within a period of fourteen (14) days following the provision of such notice, the failure continues and has not been cured nor waived (a “Non-Payment Event”), 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 Company’s winding-up and/or prove in the Company’s winding-up and/or claim in the Company’s liquidation or administration.

(c) In addition to the remedies for a Non-Payment Event provided in SECTION 2.07(b) hereof, the Trustee may, without further notice, institute such proceedings against the Company as the Trustee may deem fit to enforce any term, obligation or condition binding on the Company under the Securities or the Indenture (other than any payment obligation of the Company under or arising from the Securities or the Indenture, including, without limitation, payment of any principal or interest, including Additional Amounts) (such obligation, a “Performance Obligation”); provided always that the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities) and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities may not enforce, and may not be entitled to enforce or otherwise claim, against the Company any judgment or other award given in such proceedings that requires the payment of money by the Company, whether by way of damages or otherwise (a “Monetary Judgment”), except by proving such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s winding-up and/or by claiming such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s administration.

(d) By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that such Holder and Beneficial Owner shall not seek to enforce or otherwise claim, and shall not direct the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities) to enforce or otherwise claim, a Monetary Judgment against the Company in connection with the Company’s breach of a Performance Obligation, except by proving such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s winding-up and/or by claiming such Monetary Judgment in the Company’s administration.

(f) Notwithstanding the limitation on remedies specified in this SECTION 2.07, (1) the Trustee shall have such powers as are required to be authorized to it under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the provisions of the Indenture and (2) nothing shall impair the right of a Holder of the Securities under the Trust Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s consent, to ▇▇▇ for any payment due but unpaid with respect to the Securities. No Holder of Securities shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Company except as described in Section 5.07 of the Base Indenture.

SECTION 2.08 Notice of Events of Default Substitution. Any Events of Default Substitution shall be subject to the Company’s giving prior notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of the Securities via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the register for the Securities) (such notice being irrevocable) specifying the Company’s election to cause an Events of Default Substitution and the effective date of such Events of Default Substitution.

SECTION 2.09 Events of Default Substitution Certificate. Prior to giving the notice described in SECTION 2.08 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to elect to cause an Events of Default Substitution in accordance with SECTION 2.06 hereof. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee, the Holders and all other interested parties as correct and sufficient evidence thereof.

SECTION 2.10 Agreement with Respect to Enforcement Events and Remedies Following an Events of Default Substitution.

SECTION 2.11 Trustee’s Duties Following an Events of Default Substitution. In case of a Senior Enforcement Event with respect to a series of Securities, the Trustee shall with respect to such series exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

SECTION 2.12 Waiver of Certain Past Events of Default Following an Events of Default Substitution.

from a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation. Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series shall not be entitled to waive any past Event of Default that results from a Winding-Up Event or a Non-Payment Event.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any waiver permitted by paragraph (a) above, such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to any series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Senior Debt Securities Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.”

SECTION 2.13 Notice of Defaults Following an Events of Default Substitution. For purposes of the Base Indenture following an Events of Default Substitution, Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the following:

“Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder with respect to Senior Debt Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06 to Holders of Senior Debt Securities of such series notice of such Event of Default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee determine in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Senior Debt Securities of such series.”

SECTION 2.14 Applicability of the Term “Event of Default” Following an Events of Default Substitution. For purposes of the Base Indenture following an Events of Default Substitution, “Event of Default” shall mean “Senior Enforcement Event” as defined in this Second Supplemental Indenture, except that the term “Event of Default” as used in Sections 3.05(c)(ii) and 6.07 of the Base Indenture and Article 8 of the Base Indenture shall mean “Winding-Up Event.”

SECTION 2.15 Certain Acts of Holders Following an Events of Default Substitution. For purposes of the Base Indenture following an Events of Default Substitution, Section 1.04(d) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the following:

“Upon receipt by the Trustee from any Holder of Senior Debt Securities of a particular series of any direction referred to in Section 5.12 with respect to Senior Debt Securities of such series, if the Trustee shall not have taken the action specified in such direction, then the Trustee may set a record date for determining the Holders of Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction. The Trustee will notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series of any such record date so fixed. The Holders of Outstanding Senior Debt Securities of such series as of the close of business on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.”

- 13 -

SECTION 2.16 Subsequent Holder’s Agreement. For purposes of Article 13 of the Base Indenture, the acknowledgment and agreement of each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Securities set forth therein shall also include, without limitation, an acknowledgment and agreement in relation to the provisions contained in SECTION 2.10 hereof.

The Company shall deliver written notice of such redemption of the Securities to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the relevant notice of redemption is sent to Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). Such notice shall specify the Company’s election to redeem the Securities and the date fixed for such redemption and shall be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in paragraphs (b) below.

(c) If any event specified in paragraph (b) above occurs, the Company shall promptly deliver notice to the Holders of the Securities via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are definitive Securities, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the shown on the register for the Securities) and to the Trustee directly, specifying the occurrence of the relevant event.

If no such rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below; and

(2) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 (in circumstances other than those described under “—Replacement for LIBOR” below), the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market (which may include affiliates of the underwriters), as selected and identified by the Company, to provide its offered quotation (expressed as

I-6

a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected and identified by the Company for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be equal to LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date.

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or any page as may replace such page on such service (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks for U.S. dollars.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any Floating Rate of Interest will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts would be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the Securities shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities, the Company and the Trustee, absent manifest error.

I-7

For any Interest Period, if LIBOR is negative, then it would reduce the Floating Rate of Interest payable for such interest period below the specified Margin. Accordingly, Holders may receive a Floating Rate of Interest that is lower than the specified Margin. In any event, the Floating Rate of Interest will not be less than zero.

Replacement for LIBOR

If the Company determines that LIBOR has ceased to be published on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or any successor or replacement page (the “Relevant Screen Page”) as a result of such benchmark ceasing to be calculated or administered when any Floating Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) remains to be determined by LIBOR, then the following provisions shall apply to the applicable Securities of a series:

(i)

the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint, as soon as reasonably practicable, an Independent Adviser to determine (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner), no later than five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date relating to the next succeeding Interest Period (the “IA Determination Cut-off Date”), a Successor Rate (as defined below) or, alternatively, if there is no Successor Rate, an Alternative Reference Rate (as defined below) for purposes of determining the Floating Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) applicable to the applicable Securities;

(ii)

if the Company is unable to appoint an Independent Adviser, or the Independent Adviser appointed by it fails to determine a Successor Rate or an Alternative Reference Rate prior to the IA Determination Cut-off Date, the Company (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) may determine a Successor Rate or, if there is no Successor Rate, an Alternative Reference Rate;

(iii)

if a Successor Rate or, failing which, an Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) is determined in accordance with the preceding provisions, such Successor Rate or, failing which, an Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) shall be LIBOR for each of the future Interest Periods (subject to the subsequent operation of,

I-8

and to adjustment as described here under “— Replacement for LIBOR”); provided, however, that if sub-paragraph (ii) applies and the Company is unable to or does not determine a Successor Rate or an Alternative Reference Rate prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date, the Floating Rate of Interest applicable to the next succeeding Interest Period shall be equal to the Floating Rate of Interest last determined in relation to the applicable Securities of such series in respect of the preceding Interest Period (or alternatively, if (A) with respect to the Floating Rate Securities there has not been a first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, the Floating Interest Rate shall be the first Floating Interest Rate, (B) with respect to the 2024 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Securities there has not been a first 2024 Fixed-to-Floating Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, the 2024 Fixed-to-Floating Floating Interest Rate shall be the first 2024 Fixed-to-Floating Floating Interest Rate or (C) with respect to the 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Securities there has not been a first 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, the 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Floating Interest Rate shall be the first 2029 Fixed-to-Floating Floating Interest Rate); for the avoidance of doubt, the proviso in this sub-paragraph (iii) shall apply to the relevant Interest Period only and any subsequent Interest Periods are subject to the subsequent operation of, and to adjustment as described here under “—Replacement for LIBOR”;

(iv)

if the Independent Adviser or the Company determines a Successor Rate or, failing which, an Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) in accordance with the above provisions, the Independent Adviser or the Company (as applicable), may also specify changes to terms of the Securities of such series, including but not limited to the relevant Day Count, Relevant Screen Page, Business Day, Interest Determination Date and/or the definition of LIBOR, and the method for determining the fallback rate in

I-9

relation to the applicable Securities, in order to follow market practice in relation to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable). If the Independent Adviser (in consultation with the Company) or the Company (as applicable), determines that an Adjustment Spread is required to be applied to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) and determines the quantum of, or a formula or methodology for determining, such Adjustment Spread, then such Adjustment Spread shall be applied to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) and the Floating Rate of Interest shall be the aggregate of (i) the Successor Rate or, as applicable, Alternate Referenced Rate, (ii) the Adjustment Spread and (iii) the applicable Margin. If the Independent Adviser or the Company (as applicable) is unable to determine the quantum of, or a formula or methodology for determining, such Adjustment Spread, then such Successor Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) will apply without an Adjustment Spread and the Floating Rate of Interest shall be the aggregate of (i) the Successor Rate or, as applicable, Alternate Referenced Rate and (ii) the applicable Margin. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee and Calculation Agent shall, at the direction and expense of the Company, effect such consequential amendments to the terms of the applicable Securities as may be required in order to give effect to the provisions set forth here under “—Replacement for LIBOR”. Consent of the holders of the applicable Securities shall not be required in connection with effecting the Successor Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) or such other changes, including for the execution of any documents or other steps by the Trustee or the Calculation Agent (if required); and

(v)

the Company shall promptly, following the determination of any Successor Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable), give notice thereof to the Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the holders of the applicable Securities, which shall specify the effective date(s) for such Successor Rate or Alternative

I-10

Reference Rate (as applicable) and any consequential changes made to the terms of the Securities,

provided that the determination of any Successor Rate or Alternative Reference Rate, and any other related changes to the applicable Securities, shall be made in accordance with the relevant Capital Regulations (if applicable). In effecting any such consequential amendments to the terms of the applicable Securities as may be directed by the Company in order to give effect to the provisions hereof, neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be required to effect any amendments that affects their own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture, the Calculation Agency Agreement or otherwise.

For the purposes of this section “—Replacement for LIBOR” in respect of a series of Securities:

“Adjustment Spread” means a spread (which may be positive or negative) or formula or methodology for calculating a spread, which the Independent Adviser (in consultation with the Company) or the Company (as applicable), determines is required to be applied to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) in order to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, any economic prejudice or benefit (as applicable) to holders of the Securities of such series as a result of the replacement of LIBOR with the Successor Rate or the Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) and is the spread, formula or methodology which:

(i)

in the case of a Successor Rate, is formally recommended in relation to the replacement of LIBOR with the Successor Rate by any Relevant Nominating Body; or

(ii)

in the case of a Successor Rate for which no such recommendation has been made or in the case of an Alternative Reference Rate, the Independent Adviser (in consultation with the Company) or the Company (as applicable) determines, is recognised or acknowledged as being in customary market usage in international debt capital markets transactions which reference LIBOR, where such rate has been replaced by the Successor Rate or the Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable); or

I-11

(iii)

if no such customary market usage is recognised or acknowledged, the Independent Adviser (in consultation with the Company) or the Company in its discretion (as applicable), determines (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) to be appropriate;

“Alternative Reference Rate” means the rate that the Independent Adviser or the Company (as applicable) determines has replaced LIBOR in customary market usage in the international debt capital markets for the purposes of determining rates of interest in respect of bonds denominated in U.S. dollars and of a comparable duration to the relevant Interest Period, or, if the Independent Adviser or the Company (as applicable) determines that there is no such rate, such other rate as the Independent Adviser or the Company (as applicable) determines in its discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) is most comparable to LIBOR;

“Independent Adviser” means an independent financial institution of international repute or other independent financial adviser experienced in the international debt capital markets, in each case appointed by the Company at its own expense;

“Relevant Nominating Body” means, in respect of LIBOR:

(i)

the central bank for the U.S. dollar, or any central bank or other supervisory authority which is responsible for supervising the administrator of LIBOR; or

(ii)

any working group or committee sponsored by, chaired or co-chaired by or constituted at the request of (a) the central bank for the U.S. dollar, (b) any central bank or other supervisory authority which is responsible for supervising the administrator of LIBOR, (c) a group of the aforementioned central banks or other supervisory authorities, or (d) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof; and

“Successor Rate” means the rate that the Independent Adviser or the Company (as applicable) determines is a successor to or replacement of LIBOR which is formally recommended by any Relevant Nominating Body.

Following an Events of Default Substitution, the Securities will be subject to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 2.15 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.

Following an Events of Default Substitution, if a Winding-Up Event (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture) occurs, the 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.

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.
