 5 













 (d)    Any proposed transfer of an interest in Securities held in the
form of a Global Security shall be effected through the book-entry system maintained by DTC. 

(e)    The Securities shall not have a sinking fund. 

(f)    The Securities shall be issued on March 10, 2021 (the “Issue Date”). 

(g)    The stated maturity of the principal of the Securities shall be March 10, 2032 (the “Stated
Maturity”). 
 (h)    The Securities shall be redeemable prior to their Stated Maturity in accordance with
Section 2.04 or Section 2.05 hereof. 
 (i)    The Securities shall be issued in minimum denominations of
$200,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (j)    Section 11.09 of the Base
Indenture shall apply to the Securities. 
 (k)    The Securities shall constitute the Company’s direct,
unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and shall at all times rank pari passu without any preference among themselves. In the event of a winding-up or administration of the Company, the
Securities shall rank pari passu with all other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, present and future, except such obligations as are preferred by operation of law. 

SECTION 2.02    Interest. 

(a)    The interest rate on the Securities shall be, or shall be determined, as set forth in Annex I hereto. 

(b)    The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided

SECTION 2.03    Payment of Principal, Interest and Other Amounts. 

(a)    Payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States
of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments on Securities represented by a Global Security shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Base Indenture to DTC
or its nominee, as the Holder or Holders of the Global Security. Initially, the Paying Agent for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom and the Place of Payment in

Senior Debt Security Registrar for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, 2-4 Rue Eugene Ruppert, Vertigo Building – Polaris, Luxembourg, 2453, Luxembourg (which

location shall also be a Place of Payment for purposes of Section 3.05(a) of the Base Indenture). The Company at any time and from time to time may change the Paying Agent or, subject to
Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture, the Place of Payment, and the Senior Debt Security Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, and in such an event the Company may act as Paying Agent or Senior Debt Security Registrar.
Payments of principal of and interest on the Securities represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal, such Global Security
is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If a date of redemption or repayment or the Stated Maturity is not a Business Day, the Company may pay interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or repayment of the Securities on the
next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the date of redemption or repayment or such Stated Maturity. 

SECTION 2.04    Optional Redemption. Subject to the notice period and provisions set forth in Sections 11.02
and 11.04 of the Base Indenture, and to the conditions set forth in Section 11.10 of the Base Indenture, the Company may redeem, at its option (A) the Securities at any time outstanding, in whole or in part, at any time on or after
September 10, 2021 (six months following the Issue Date and, if any additional Securities are issued after the Issue Date, except for the period of six months beginning on the issue date for any such additional Securities) to (but excluding)
the Par Redemption Date, at an amount equal to the higher of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Determination Agent, the sum of the present values of the principal (discounted from
the Par Redemption Date) and remaining payments of interest to be made on any scheduled Interest Payment Date to the Par Redemption Date for the Securities to be redeemed (not including accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of
the Securities) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Optional Redemption Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points together with, in either case of (i) or (ii) above, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the
Redemption Date (the “Make-Whole Redemption”) and/or (B) the Securities then outstanding, in whole but not in part, on the Par Redemption Date, at an amount equal to 100% of their
principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the Redemption Date (the “Par Redemption”). 

“Optional Redemption Treasury Rate” means, with respect to the 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 traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, under the caption “Treasury constant maturities,” for the maturity most closely
corresponding to the Par Redemption Date (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Par Redemption Date, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Optional Redemption 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
Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Optional Redemption 

  
 7 













 
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date; provided that, if the period
from the Redemption Date to the 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 Optional Redemption Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Determination Agent on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

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

“Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to the 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 Par Redemption Date 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 Par Redemption Date. 

“Optional Redemption Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, (i) the arithmetic average
of the Optional Redemption 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 Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (ii) if fewer than five such Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received, the arithmetic average of all such quotations, or (iii) if fewer than two such Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations are received, then such Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation. 
 “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. 

“Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer” means, with respect to the Redemption Date, 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. 
 “Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations”
means, with respect to each Optional Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer and the Redemption Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Determination Agent, of the bid and offered prices (as quoted to the Determination Agent by such Optional
Redemption Reference Treasury Dealer) for the applicable Optional Redemption 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 the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority), result in a Loss Absorption
Disqualification Event with respect to the Securities, the Company may, at the Company’s option, at any time, redeem the Securities, 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 Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise set forth in this Tenth Supplemental
Indenture, Article 11 of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of Securities pursuant to this Section 2.05. 
 SECTION
2.06    Notice of Redemption. 
 (a)    Before the Company may redeem the Securities
pursuant to Section 2.04 or Section 2.05 hereof or pursuant to Section 11.09 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall deliver via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are definitive Securities, to the Holders
at their addresses shown on the register for the Securities) prior notice of not less than fifteen (15) days, nor more than sixty (60) days, to the Holders of the Securities. 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. 

(b)    If the Company has delivered a notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06, but
prior to the payment of the redemption amount with respect to such redemption the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority exercises its U.K. Bail-in Power with respect to the Securities, such redemption notice
shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment in respect of the redemption amount shall be due and payable. 

(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. 
 SECTION 2.07    Acknowledgement with respect to Treatment of EEA BRRD
Liabilities. Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the Indenture, this Tenth Supplemental Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the BRRD Party, on the one hand, and the Company, on
the other hand, the Company acknowledges and accepts that an EEA BRRD Liability arising under the Indenture and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture may be subject to the exercise of EEA Bail-in Powers by the
Relevant EEA Resolution Authority, and acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be bound by: 
 (a)    the effect of the
exercise of EEA Bail-in Powers by the Relevant EEA Resolution Authority in relation to any EEA BRRD Liability that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination
thereof: 
 (i)    the reduction of all, or a portion, of the EEA BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts
due thereon; 

  
 9

BRRD Liability into shares, other securities or other obligations of the BRRD Party or another person, and the issue to or conferral on the Company of such shares, securities or obligations; 

(iii)    the cancellation of the EEA BRRD Liability; or 

(iv)    the amendment or alteration of any interest, if applicable, thereon, the maturity or the dates on
which any payments are due including by suspending payment for a temporary period.

of the Indenture or this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, as deemed necessary by the Relevant EEA Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of EEA Bail-in Powers by the Relevant EEA Resolution
Authority in respect of the BRRD Party. 
 For these purposes: 

“Bail-in Legislation” means in relation to a member state of the European

2019). 
 “BRRD Party” means The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, solely and exclusively in its role as
Senior Debt Security Registrar under the Indenture and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Trustee and Paying Agent and in any other capacity under the Indenture or this Tenth
Supplemental Indenture is not a BRRD Party under the Indenture or this Tenth Supplemental Indenture. 
 “EEA Bail-in Power” means any Write-down and Conversion Powers as defined in the EU Bail-in Legislation Schedule, in relation to the
relevant Bail-in Legislation.

	Calculation of U.S. Treasury Rate:	  	The Calculation Agent will determine the Subsequent Interest Rate for the Securities by reference to the then-prevailing U.S. Treasury Rate, on the Reset Determination Date. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent
will notify the Company and the Trustee (if the Calculation Agent is not the Trustee) of the Subsequent Interest Rate. All determinations and any calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the Subsequent Interest Rate
(or component thereof) shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Securities, the Company and the Trustee, absent manifest error. The Calculation Agent shall not be responsible to the Company, holders of the Securities or any third party
for any failure of any Reference Treasury Dealer to provide quotations as requested of them or as a result of the Calculation














			
		  	 Agent having acted on any quotation or other information given by any Reference Treasury Dealer which subsequently may be found to be
incorrect or inaccurate in any way.
  
 “U.S. Treasury Rate” means,
with respect to the Reset Period, the rate per annum equal to: (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the week immediately prior to the Reset Determination Date, appearing in the most recently published statistical

caption “Treasury constant maturities,” for the maturity of one year; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week immediately prior to the Reset Determination 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 the Reset Determination Date.
  
 If the U.S. Treasury Rate cannot be
determined, for whatever reason, as described under (1) or (2) above, “U.S. Treasury Rate” means the rate in percentage per annum as notified by the Calculation Agent to the Company equal to the yield on U.S. Treasury
securities having a maturity of one year as set forth in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” under the caption “Treasury constant maturities” (or any successor publication that is published weekly by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury constant maturities” for the maturity of one year) at
5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last available date preceding the Reset Determination Date on which such rate was set forth in such release (or any successor release).
  

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to the Reset Period, the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Company with a
maturity date on or about the last day of the Reset Period and 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
having a maturity of one year.
  
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means,
with respect to the Reset Determination Date, (i) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Reset Determination Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference
Treasury















			
		  	 Dealer Quotations, (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.

affiliates of such banks, which are (i) primary U.S. Treasury securities dealers, and their respective successors, or (ii) market makers in pricing corporate bond issues denominated in U.S dollars.

 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and the Reset Determination Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid and offered prices (such prices being obtained by the Company and furnished to the Calculation Agent) for the
applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Reset Determination Date.

 (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 Tenth
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 10, 2021 (the “Tenth 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 $1,000,000,000, 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 Tenth 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 Tenth 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 Tenth Supplemental Indenture, and to the conditions set forth in Section 11.10 of the Base Indenture. 

The Company may repurchase the Securities pursuant to Section 11.12 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 Holder and Beneficial Owner, shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such Holder 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 Tenth Supplemental Indenture. 












 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. 
 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. 
 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.
