will equal (1) the ETN Current Value on such calendar day plus (2) the Accrued Dividend on such calendar day minus (3) the Accrued Investor Fee on such calendar day. If the Securities undergo a split or reverse split,
the Closing Indicative Value will be adjusted accordingly. 
 “Closing VWAP Level” means an amount equal to
(i) the VWAP Level as of the close of trading on any Index Business Day, for purposes of Holder Redemption, or (ii) the arithmetic mean of the VWAP Levels as of the close of trading on each Index Business Day during the Final Measurement
Period or the Issuer Redemption Measurement Period, for purposes of the payment at maturity or upon Issuer Redemption, respectively, in each case as determined by the VWAP Calculation Agent.

Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, equal to the cost of having a Qualified Financial Institution (selected as provided below) expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of this Security, and the performance or observance
of every covenant hereof and of the Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed with respect to this Security (or to undertake other obligations providing substantially equivalent economic value to the Holder of this Security as
the Company’s obligations hereunder). Such cost will equal (i) the lowest amount that a Qualified Financial Institution would charge to effect such assumption (or undertaking) plus (ii) the reasonable expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Holder of this Security in preparing any documentation necessary for such assumption (or undertaking). During the Default Quotation Period, each Holder of this Security and the Company may request a Qualified
Financial Institution to provide a quotation of the amount it would charge to effect such assumption (or undertaking). If either party obtains a quotation, it must notify the other party in writing of the quotation. The amount referred to in
clause (i) of this paragraph will equal the lowest (or, if there is only one, the only) quotation so obtained, and as to which notice is so given, during the Default Quotation Period; provided that, with respect to any quotation, the
party not obtaining the quotation may object, on reasonable and significant grounds, to the effectuation of such assumption (or undertaking) by the Qualified Financial Institution providing such quotation and notify the other party in writing of
such grounds within two Business Days after the last day of the Default Quotation Period, in which case that quotation will be disregarded in determining the Default Amount. The “Default Quotation Period” shall be the period
beginning on the day the Default Amount first becomes due and ending on the third Business Day after such due date, unless no such quotation is obtained, or unless every such quotation so obtained is objected to within five Business Days after such
due date as provided above, in which case the Default Quotation Period will continue until the third Business Day after the first Business Day on which prompt notice of a quotation is given as provided above, unless such quotation is objected to as
provided above within five Business Days after such first Business Day, in which case, the Default Quotation Period will continue as provided in this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Default Quotation Period (and the subsequent two
Business Day objection period) has not ended prior to the Final Valuation Date, then the Default Amount will equal the Face Amount.

determines that a Market Disruption Event does not occur and is not continuing, provided that in no event will the Final Valuation Date be postponed by more than five Business Days. 

“Index Business Day” means any day on which the Index Sponsor publishes a level for the Index. 

“Index Constituent” means each of the master limited partnerships and publicly traded limited liability companies
included in the Index at any given time. 
 “Index Dividend” on any calendar day represents the aggregate cash
value of distributions that a hypothetical person holding index constituents in proportion to the weights of the Index Constituents would have been entitled to receive with respect to any Index Constituent for those cash distributions whose
“ex-dividend date” occurs on such calendar day. The Index Dividend on any calendar day will equal (1) the sum of the products of (i) the cash value of distributions that a hypothetical holder of each Index Constituent on such
calendar day would have been entitled to receive in respect of that Index Constituent for those cash distributions whose “ex-dividend date” occurs on such calendar day and (ii) the published unit weighting of that Index Constituent as
of such date, divided by (2) the index divisor as of such date.

 –7– 








 
that disrupts or impairs, as determined by the Calculation Agent, the ability of market participants to (x) effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, Index Constituents
constituting 20% or more, by weight, of the Index, or (y) effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to the Index on their respective markets; (iv) the closure on any day of the primary
market for futures or options contracts relating to the Index or Index Constituents constituting 20% or more, by weight, of the Index on a Scheduled Trading Day prior to the scheduled weekday closing time of that market (without regard to after
hours or any other trading outside of the regular trading session hours) unless such earlier closing time is announced by the primary market at least one hour prior to the earlier of (x) the actual closing time for the regular trading session
on such primary market on such Scheduled Trading Day for such primary market and (y) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the relevant exchange system for execution at the close of trading on such Scheduled Trading Day for such
primary market; (v) any Scheduled Trading Day on which (x) the primary markets for Index Constituents constituting 20% or more, by weight, of the Index or (y) the exchanges or quotation systems, if any, on which futures or options
contracts on the Index are traded, fails to open for trading during its regular trading session; (vi) if the Index Sponsor does not publish the level of the Index on an Index Business Day or the Index is otherwise not available; or
(vii) any other event, if the Calculation Agent determines that the event interferes with the Company’s ability or the ability of any of its affiliates to unwind all or a portion of a hedge with respect to this Security that the Company or
its affiliates have effected or may effect; and, in any of these events, the Calculation Agent determines that the event was material. For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred, the following event will not be a
Market Disruption Event: (a) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading on which any Index Constituent is traded, but only if the limitation results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market; or
(b) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in futures or options contracts relating to the Index. For this purpose, an “absence of trading” on an exchange or market will not include any time when the relevant exchange or market
is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. In contrast, a suspension or limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to the Index, if available, in the primary market for those contracts, by reason of any of:
(A) a price change exceeding limits set by that market, (B) an imbalance of orders relating to those contracts, or (C) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to those contracts, will constitute a suspension or material limitation
of trading in futures or options contracts related to the Index in the primary market for those contracts. 
 “Maturity
Date” means December 15, 2042, provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Maturity Date will be the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date

outstanding debt obligations with a stated maturity of one year or less from the date of issue and rated A-1 or higher by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. (or any successor) or P-1 or higher by
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor) or, in either case, such other comparable rating, if any, then used by such rating agency.

Market Disruption Event does not occur and is not continuing, provided that in no event will any Valuation Date be postponed by more than five Business Days. 
 “VWAP” means, with respect to each Index Constituent, on any Index Business Day, the consolidated volume-weighted average price of one unit of such Index Constituent as determined by the
VWAP Calculation Agent based on all trades in such Index Constituent reported in the consolidated tape system during the regular trading session.

Factor will be adjusted accordingly. 
 “VWAP Level” means on any Index Business Day, as calculated by the VWAP
Calculation Agent, (1) the sum of the products of (i) the VWAP of each Index Constituent as of such date and (ii) the published unit weighting of that Index Constituent as of such date, divided by (2) the index divisor as
of such date. The VWAP level is reported on Bloomberg page “SPMLPVW <Index>”.

 1. Promise to Pay at Maturity or Upon Early Redemption 

Barclays Bank PLC, a public limited company duly organized and existing under the laws of England and Wales (herein called the
“Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay (or cause to be paid) to Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company,
or registered assigns, the amount as calculated and provided under (i) “Holder Redemption” and elsewhere on the face this Security on the applicable Holder Redemption Date, in the case of any Securities in respect of the which the
Holder exercises such Holder’s right to require the Company to redeem such Holder’s Securities prior to the Maturity Date, (ii) “Issuer Redemption” and elsewhere on the face of this Security on the applicable Issuer
Redemption Date, in case the Company exercises its right to redeem the Securities prior to the Maturity Date or (iii) “Payment at Maturity” and elsewhere on the face of this Security on the Maturity Date. 

2. Payment of Interest 
 On each Coupon Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, the Holder shall receive an interest payment in cash per Security on each Coupon Payment Date in U.S. dollars equal to the
Coupon Amount, if any, on the applicable Coupon Valuation Date. Any return on this Security that may be deemed to be interest will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as it may be modified by U.S. law of general
application. 
 3. Discontinuance or Modification of the Index; Market Disruption Event 

If the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of or otherwise fails to publish the Index, or the Index Sponsor does not make the Index
Constituents, their unit weighting and/or the index divisor available to the VWAP Calculation Agent, and the Index Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the
discontinued Index and for which the Index Constituents, their unit weighting, and/or the index divisor are available to the VWAP Calculation Agent, then the VWAP Level for such successor index will be determined by the VWAP Calculation Agent by
reference to the sum of the products of the VWAPs of the constituents underlying such successor index and each such constituent’s respective weighting within the successor index (which sum will be adjusted by any index divisor used by such
successor index) on the dates and at the times as of which the VWAP levels for such successor index are to be determined. 
 If
the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index or does not make the Index Constituents, their unit weightings and/or index divisor available to the VWAP Calculation Agent prior to, and such discontinuation or unavailability is continuing on
any Index Business Day during the Final Measurement Period or Issuer Redemption Measurement Period, or on a Valuation Date, as applicable, or any other relevant date on which the VWAP Level is to be determined and the Calculation Agent determines
that no successor index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a successor index and publication of such successor index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on any Index Business Day
during the Final Measurement Period or Issuer Redemption Measurement Period, or on any Valuation Date, as applicable, or any other relevant date on which the VWAP Level is to be determined, then the VWAP


  
 (Face of
Security continued on next page) 
 –10– 








 
Calculation Agent will determine the relevant VWAP levels using the VWAP and published unit weighting of each Index Constituent included in the Index or successor index, as applicable,
immediately prior to such discontinuation or unavailability, as adjusted for certain corporate actions. 
 If at any time the
method of calculating the Index or a successor index, or the value thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Index or a successor index is in any other way modified so that the VWAP Level of the Index or such successor index does not, in
the opinion of the VWAP Calculation Agent, fairly represent the VWAP Level of the Index or such successor index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the VWAP Calculation Agent will make such calculations and adjustments as, in the
good faith judgment of the VWAP Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a VWAP Level of an index comparable to the Index or such successor index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the
VWAP Calculation Agent will calculate the VWAP Levels for the Index or such successor index with reference to the Index or such successor index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or a successor index is modified so
that the level of the Index or such successor index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), which, in turn, causes the VWAP Level of the Index or such successor index to be
a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification, then the VWAP Calculation Agent will make such calculations and adjustments in order to arrive at a VWAP Level for the Index or such successor index as if it had not been
modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred). 
 The Calculation Agent shall have the right to make all determinations and
adjustments with respect to the Index in its sole discretion. 
 4. Payment at Maturity or Upon Holder Redemption or Upon
Issuer Redemption 
 The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date on a Holder Redemption
Date or an Issuer Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be the cash amount that must be paid to redeem this Security as provided above under “Payment at Maturity”, “Holder Redemption” or “Issuer Redemption”, as
applicable. The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable upon acceleration of the Maturity Date hereof after an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to the Indenture shall be the Default Amount. When the payment referred to in either
of the two preceding sentences has been paid as provided herein (or such payment has been made available), the principal of this Security shall be deemed to have been paid in full, whether or not this Security shall have been surrendered for payment
or cancellation. References to the payment at maturity or upon early redemption of this Security on any day shall be deemed to mean the payment of cash that is payable on such day as provided in this Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely
for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver, notice or other action to be given or taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken by Holders of Outstanding Securities in the requisite aggregate
principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will be deemed to equal the Face Amount. This Security shall cease to be Outstanding as provided in the definition of such term in the Indenture when the principal of this Security shall be
deemed to have been paid in full as provided above.

 5. Redemption Mechanics 

(a) Holder Redemption: Subject to the minimum redemption amount provided under “Holder Redemption”, the Holder may
require the Company to redeem the Holder’s Securities on any Holder Redemption Date during the term of the Securities provided that such Holder (i) delivers a notice of redemption to the Company via electronic mail by no later than
4:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to the applicable Valuation Date; (ii) delivers a signed confirmation of redemption to the Company via facsimile by no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the same day; (iii) instructs
the Holder’s DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the Holder’s Securities on the applicable Valuation Date at a price per Security equal to the Closing Indicative Value on the applicable Valuation Date
minus the Redemption Charge, facing Barclays DTC 5101; and (iv) causes the Holder’s DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC prior to 10:00 a.m. New York time on the applicable Holder Redemption Date,
which shall be the third Business Day following the applicable Valuation Date (other than the Final Valuation Date). The final Holder Redemption Date shall be the third Business Day following such Valuation Date that is immediately prior to the
Final Valuation Date. 
 (b) Issuer Redemption: If the Company elects to exercise its right to redeem the Securities
under “Issuer Redemption”, the Company will deliver written notice of such election to redeem to the Holder of such Securities not less than 20 calendar days prior to the Issuer Redemption Date specified by the Company in such issuer
redemption notice. The Final Valuation Date will be deemed to be the fifth Trading Day prior to the Issuer Redemption Date (subject to postponement in the event of a Market Disruption Event), and the Securities will be redeemed on the Issuer
Redemption Date specified by the Company in such issuer redemption notice, but in no event prior to the tenth calendar day following the date on which the Company delivers such issuer redemption notice. 

6. Split or Reverse Split of the Securities 
 On any Business Day, the Company may elect to initiate a split of the Securities or a reverse split of the Securities. Such date shall be deemed to be the “Announcement Date”, and the Company
will issue a notice to holders of the relevant Securities and press release announcing the split or reverse split, specifying the effective date of the split or reverse split and the split or reverse split ratio. 

If the Securities undergo a split, the Company will adjust the terms of the Securities accordingly. For example, if the split ratio
is 4 and hence the Securities undergo a 4:1 split, every investor who holds one Security via DTC on the relevant record date will, after the split, hold four Securities, and adjustments will be made as described below. The record date for the split
will be the 9th business day after the Announcement Date.
The Closing Indicative Value, the VWAP Factor, the Accrued Dividend and the Accrued Investor Fee on such record date will be divided by 4 to reflect the 4:1 split of the Securities. If the record date of the split falls in between a Coupon Valuation
Date and the corresponding Coupon Ex-Date, the Accrued Dividend and the Accrued Investor Fee on Coupon Valuation Date would be divided by four when calculating Coupon Adjustment Dividend Amount and Coupon Adjustment Fee Amount on that Coupon
Ex-Date. Any adjustment of Closing Indicative Value, the VWAP Factor, the Accrued Dividend and the Accrued Investor Fee will be rounded to 8 decimal places. The split will become effective at the opening of trading of the Securities on the Business
Day immediately following the record date.

 In the case of a reverse split, the Company reserves the right to address odd numbers
of Securities (commonly referred to as “partials”) in a commercially reasonable manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion. For example, if the reverse split ratio is 4 and the Securities undergo a 1:4 reverse split, every
Holder holding 4 Securities via DTC on the relevant record date will, after the reverse split, hold only one Security and adjustments will be made as described below. The record date for the reverse split will be on the 9th Business Day after the Announcement Date. The Closing Indicative
Value, the VWAP Factor, the Accrued Dividend and the Accrued Investor Fee on such record date will be multiplied by four to reflect the 1:4 reverse split of your ETNs. If the record date of the reverse split falls in between a Coupon Valuation Date
and the corresponding Coupon Ex-Date, the Accrued Dividend and the Accrued Investor Fee on Coupon Valuation Date would be multiplied by four when calculating Coupon Adjustment Dividend Amount and Coupon Adjustment Fee Amount on that Coupon Ex-Date.
Any adjustment of Closing Indicative Value, the VWAP Factor, the Accrued Dividend and the Accrued Investor Fee will be rounded to 8 decimal places. The reverse split will become effective at the opening of trading of the Securities on the Business
Day immediately following the record date. 
 Holders who own a number of Securities on the record date which is not evenly
divisible by the split ratio will receive the same treatment as all other holders for the maximum number of Securities they hold which is evenly divisible by the split ratio, and we will have the right to compensate holders for their remaining or
“partial” Securities in a commercially reasonable manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company’s current intention is to provide a Holder with a cash payment for such Holder’s partials on the 17th business day following the Announcement Date in an amount equal to
the appropriate percentage of the Closing Indicative Value of the reverse split- adjusted Securities on the
14th business day following the Announcement Date. For
example, of the reverse split ratio is 1:4, a Holder who held 23 Securities via DTC on the record date would receive 5 post reverse split Securities on the immediately following Business Day, and a cash payment on the 17th business day following the Announcement Date that is equal to
3/4ths of the Closing Indicative Value of the reverse
split-adjusted Securities on the 14th Business Day
following the Announcement Date. 
 In the event of a reverse split, the Redemption Amount will be adjusted accordingly by the Company, in its
sole discretion and in a commercially reasonable manner, to take into account the reverse split. 
 7. Role of Calculation
Agent 
 The Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for all determinations and calculations regarding the value of the
Securities, including at maturity or upon early redemption; Market Disruption Events; Business Days; Trading Days; Index Business Days, the Closing Indicative Value; the ETN Current Value, the VWAP Factor, the Accrued Dividend, the Dollar Dividend
Value, the Index Dividend, the Coupon Adjustment Dividend Amount, the Accrued Investor Fee, the Daily Fee Value, the Coupon Adjustment Fee Amount, the Coupon Amount, the Default Amount, any Valuation Date, any Coupon Valuation Date, any Coupon
Ex-Date, any Coupon Record Date, any Coupon Payment Date, Redemption Charge, the Maturity Date; Redemption Dates; Valuation Dates, the Redemption Amount; the amount payable in respect of the Securities at maturity or upon Holder Redemption or Issuer
Redemption and all such other matters, calculations or determinations as may be specified elsewhere herein as matters to be determined by the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations in its sole
discretion, and absent manifest error, all determinations of the Calculation Agent shall be final and binding on the Company, the Holder and all other Persons having an interest in this Security, without liability on the part of the Calculation
Agent.

 The Company shall take such action as shall be necessary to ensure that there is, at all
relevant times, a financial institution serving as the Calculation Agent hereunder. The Company may, in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, upon written notice to the Trustee, but without notice to the Holder of this Security,
terminate the appointment of any Person serving as the Calculation Agent and appoint another Person (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as the Calculation Agent. Insofar as this Security provides for the Calculation Agent to determine
the value of the Index on any date or other information from any institution or other source, the Calculation Agent may do so from any source or sources of the kind contemplated or otherwise permitted hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of
such sources are the Calculation Agent, Affiliates of the Calculation Agent or Affiliates of the Company. 
 8. Payment

 Payment of any amount payable on this Security will 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. Payment will be made to an account designated by the Holder (in writing to the Company and the Trustee on or before the applicable Valuation Date) and acceptable to the Company
or, if no such account is designated and acceptable as aforesaid, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, provided, however, that payment on the Maturity Date or any Redemption
Date shall be made only upon surrender of this Security at such office or agency (unless the Company waives surrender). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Security is a Global Security, any payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable
Procedures of the Depositary as permitted in said Indenture. 
 9. Reverse of this Security 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 10. Certificate of Authentication 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature,
this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 11.

 (Reverse of Security) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and
to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New
York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture 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 on the face of this Security, the latter shall control for purposes of this Security. 
 This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof. 
 Payments under the Securities will be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each
a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any such Taxes are at any time required by a Taxing Jurisdiction to be deducted or withheld, the Company will, subject to the exceptions and
limitations set forth in Section 10.04 of the Indenture, pay such additional amounts of the principal of such Security and any other amounts payable on such Security (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the
net amounts paid to the Holder of any Security, after such deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts of the principal of such Security and any other amounts payable on such Security which would have been payable in respect of such Security
had no such deduction or withholding been required. 
 If at any time the Company determines that as a result of a change in or
amendment to the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction (including any treaty to which such Taxing Jurisdiction is a party), or a change in an official application or interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a decision of any
court or tribunal), either generally or in relation to any particular Securities, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date in making any payment of, or in respect of, the principal
amount of the Securities, the Company would be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, then the Securities will be redeemable upon not less than 35 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time thereafter, in whole but
not in part, at the election of the Company as provided in the Indenture at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities
of each series to be affected under the Indenture 

  
 (Face of
Security continued on next page) 
 –17– 








 
at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered
together as one class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture
(considered together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon
the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time
Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

 –18– 








 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of this Security as herein provided. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Senior Debt Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of this Security is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Senior
Debt Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 This Security, and any other Securities of this series and of like
tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of any multiple of $50. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 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 and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.
