OTHER TERMS: 
 All terms
used in this Security that are not defined in this Security but are defined in the Indenture referred to on the reverse of this Security shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. Section headings on the face of this Security are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Security. 
 “Business Day” means a Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is neither a day on which banking institutions in New York City or London, as applicable, generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation, or executive order to close. 

  
 -5-









 “Calculation Agent” means Barclays Bank PLC or such other party as may be
nominated as successor Calculation Agent with respect to the Securities by Barclays Bank PLC. 
 “Default
Amount” means, on any day, an amount in U.S. dollars, as determined by the Calculation Agent , 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) and notify the other in writing of such 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 such 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 such quotation will be disregarded in determining the Default Amount. The “Default Quotation Period” will 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 so 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 is given of such quotation 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. 
 “Index Business Day” means a day on which the Index Sponsor publishes a closing value for the Index. 
 “Market Disruption Event” means any of the following with respect to the Index, (i) a suspension, absence or limitation of trading in index components constituting 20% or more, by
weight, of the Index; (ii) a suspension, absence or limitation of trading in futures or options contracts relating to the Index on their respective markets; (iii) any event 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 components 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 that 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 components


  
 -6-









 
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 components 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 component 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 an 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 November 30,
2020, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, if the fifth business day before this day does not qualify as a Valuation Date, then the Maturity Date will be the fifth Business Day following the
Final Valuation Date. 
 “Qualified Financial Institution” means, at any time, a financial institution
organized under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States of America or Europe that at such time has 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 Ratings Services or any successor, or any other comparable rating then used by that rating agency, or P-1 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service or any successor, or any other comparable rating then used by that
rating agency. 
 “Scheduled Trading Day” means, in respect of the Index, any day on which (a) the value
of the Index is published and (b) trading is generally conducted on the markets on which the securities comprising the Index are traded, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. 

  
 -7-









 “Trading Day” means a day on which (1) it is a business day in New
York City, (2) trading is generally conducted on the NYSE Arca, and (3) trading is generally conducted on the markets on which the components of the Index, are traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

 “Valuation Date” each Trading Day from November 29, 2010 to November 24, 2020, subject to
postponement as a result of Market Disruption Events, such postponement not to exceed five Trading Days. We refer to November 29, 2010 as the “Initial Valuation Date” and November 24, 2020 as the “Final Valuation Date”.

  
  

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) “Optional Redemption” and elsewhere on the face this Security on the applicable Optional 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) “Automatic Termination Event” and elsewhere on the face of this Security on the applicable Automatic Redemption Date, in the case of a Automatic Termination
Event and (iii) “Payment at Maturity” and elsewhere on the face of this Security, on the Maturity Date. 
 2.
Payment of Interest 
 The principal of this Security shall not bear interest. 

3. Discontinuance or Modification of the Index; Market Disruption Event 

If the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index, and Barclays Capital or any other person or entity publishes an index that the
Calculation Agent determines is comparable to the discontinued Index and the Calculation Agent approves such index as a successor index, then the Calculation Agent will determine the value of the Index on the applicable Valuation Date and the amount
payable on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date by reference to such successor index. 
 If the Calculation Agent determines
that the publication of the Index is discontinued and that there is no successor index, or that the closing level of the Index is not available for any reason, on the date on which the level of that Index is required to be determined, the
Calculation Agent will determine the amount payable by a computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index. 

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Index or the method of calculating the Index has been changed at any time in any respect,
and whether the change is made by the 

  
 -8-









 
relevant Index Sponsor under its existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a successor index, or is due to any other reason – then the
Calculation Agent will be permitted (but not required) to make such adjustments to that Index or method of calculating that Index as it believes are appropriate to ensure that the level of the Index used to determine the amount payable on the
Maturity Date is equitable. 
 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, Upon Optional Redemption or Automatic Termination
Event 
 The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date, on an Optional Redemption Date or
Automatic Termination Event, 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”, “Optional Redemption” and “Automatic Termination Event”,
respectively. 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 

Subject to the minimum redemption amount provided under “Optional Redemption”, the Holder may require the Company to redeem the
Holder’s Securities on any 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 City 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 City 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 applicable Closing Indicative Note Value on the applicable Valuation Date facing Barclays Capital 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 Optional Redemption Date, which shall be the third Business Day following the
applicable Valuation Date (other than the Final Valuation Date). The final Redemption Date shall be the third Business Day following such Valuation Date that is immediately prior to the Final Valuation Date. 

  
 -9-









 Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Termination Event, the Company will automatically redeem
the Securities on the Automatic Redemption Date and will deliver a notice of redemption to DTC in the form attached as Annex C to the pricing supplement, specifying such date. Upon such redemption, the Holder will receive a cash payment equal to the
Automatic Redemption Value for each Security, which shall be specified in such notice. If a market disruption event occurs and is continuing following the occurrence of an Automatic Termination Event and the Calculation Agent is prevented from
determining the Automatic Redemption Value, the Company will deliver a notice to DTC specifying the occurrence of an Automatic Termination Event and will deliver a separate notice to DTC to specify the Automatic Redemption Date and the relevant
Automatic Redemption Value following the resolution of the applicable market disruption event. 
 6. Role of Calculation
Agent 
 Initially, the Company will serve as the Calculation Agent. The Company may change the Calculation Agent after the
Original Issue Date of the Securities without notice. The Calculation Agent will, in its sole discretion, make all determinations regarding the value of the Securities, including at maturity or upon optional redemption or redemption arising from an
Automatic Termination Event, Market Disruption Events, Valuation Dates, Business Days, Trading Days, the Closing Indicative Note Value, the T-Bill Amount, the Short Index Amount, the Daily Interest, the Daily Investor Fee, the Daily Index Borrow
Cost, the Default Amount, the Maturity Date, the amount payable in respect of the Securities at maturity, upon optional redemption and upon the occurrence of an Automatic Termination Event and any other calculations or determinations to be made by
the Calculation Agent as specified herein. 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 Calculation Agent reserves the right to make adjustments to correct errors contained in previously published information and to publish the corrected information, but is under no obligation to do so
and shall have no liability in respect of any errors or omissions contained in any subsequent publication. 
 7. Payment

 Payment of any amount payable on this Security in cash 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 of any cash payable on this Security will be made to an account designated by the Holder (in writing to the Company and the Trustee on or before the Final
Valuation Date) and approved by the Company or, if no such account is designated and approved as aforesaid, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (i.e., the office of the Trustee),
provided, however, that Payment at Maturity, upon Optional Redemption or Automatic Termination Event shall be made only upon surrender of this Security at such office or agency (unless the Company expressly 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. 

  
 -10-









 8. 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. 
 9. 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. 
 10.
Prospectus 
 Reference is made to (i) the Prospectus related to the Securities, dated August 31, 2010,
(ii) the Prospectus Supplement, dated August 31, 2010 and (iii) the Pricing Supplement, dated [                    ],

of a conflict between the terms of the Prospectus and the terms of this Security, the Prospectus will control and if the Prospectus provides for a specific United States tax characterization, by purchasing a Security, you agree (in the absence of a
change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary) to be bound for United States federal income tax purposes to such tax characterization. Copies of the Prospectus are available from the Company or any underwriter
or any dealer participating in the offering by calling toll free, 1-888-227-2275 (extension 2-3430).

 (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, initially
limited to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $10,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount was increased to $21,000,000,000 on September 4, 2007 and may be
further 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.

 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 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.
