(a) There is hereby established an additional series of Senior Debt Securities under the Base Indenture entitled the “2.645% Fixed Rate
Resetting Senior Callable Notes due 2031.” 
 (b) The Securities shall be issued initially in the form of one or more registered
Global Securities that shall be deposited with DTC on the Issue Date. The Global Securities shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and executed and issued in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

(c) The Company shall issue the Securities in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000. The Company may from time to time, without the
consent of the Holders of the Securities, issue additional securities of such series having the same ranking and same interest rate, Stated Maturity, redemption terms and other terms as the Securities described in this Seventh Supplemental
Indenture, except for the price to the public and Issue Date. Any such additional securities subsequently issued shall rank equally and ratably with the Securities in all respects, so that such further securities shall be consolidated and form a
single series with the applicable series of the Securities. 
 (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 June 24, 2020 (the “Issue Date”).

 (g) The stated maturity of the principal of the Securities shall be June 24, 2031 (the “Stated Maturity”). 

(h) The Securities shall be redeemable prior to their Stated Maturity in accordance with Section 2.04 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 in the Indenture, be
paid to the Person in whose name the relevant Security (or any Predecessor Senior Debt Security) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 

  
 -6- 













 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 respect of the Securities
shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, which as of the date hereof is hereby designated for purposes of the Securities initially as the office or agency of the Trustee located at said address. Initially, the 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 December 24, 2020 (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 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 30 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”). 

  
 -7- 













 “Optional Redemption 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 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 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. 

  
 -8- 













 “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, 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 Seventh 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. 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 not apply to the Securities 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. 

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

(b) If the Company fails to pay any amount that has become due and payable under the Securities 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


  
 -9- 













 
“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. 
 (e) Other than the limited remedies specified in this Section 2.07 and subject to Section 2.07(f) hereof, no
remedy against the Company shall be available to the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities) or the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of
such Securities or under the Indenture or in respect of any breach by the Company of any of the Company’s obligations under or in respect of the terms of such Securities or under the Indenture in relation thereto; provided,
however, that the Company’s obligations to, and rights of, the Trustee under Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture and the Trustee’s rights to have money collected applied first to pay amounts due to it under such Section pursuant
to Section 5.06 of the Base Indenture expressly survive any Senior Enforcement Event. 
 (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

 (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.”

Following an Event of Default. For purposes of the Base Indenture and with respect to the Securities, Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the following:

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

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.”

(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

found to be incorrect or inaccurate in any way.
