 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. 
 “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 (1) it is a business day in
New York City and (2) trading is generally conducted on the CBOE. 
 “Market Disruption Event
means, with respect to the Securities, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent and determined in its sole discretion: (i) S&P does not publish the level of the Index on any Index Business Day; (ii) a suspension, absence or material
limitation of trading of equity securities then constituting 20% or more of the level of the S&P 500® Index
on the Relevant Exchanges (as defined below) for such securities occurs for more than two hours of trading (one hour on any day that is an “index roll date” for purposes of calculation the VIX Index or any relevant successor index) during,
or during the one hour period preceding the close of, the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange; (iii) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of any Relevant Exchange for the S&P 500® Index occurs as a result of which the reported trading prices for equity securities then constituting 20% or more of
the level of the S&P 500® Index are materially inaccurate (a) during the one hour preceding the close

successor index; (iv) a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on any Relevant Exchange for the VIX Index (or any relevant successor index) occurs for more than two hours of trading (one hour on any day that is an “index
roll date” for purposes of calculation the VIX Index or any relevant successor index) during, or during the one hour period preceding the close of, the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange; (v) a breakdown or failure in the
price and trade reporting systems of the Relevant Exchange for the VIX Index (or any relevant successor index) occurs as a result of which the reported trading prices for SPX Options or futures on the VIX Index (or futures on any relevant successor
index) during the one hour period preceding, and including, the scheduled time at which the value of SPX Options is calculated for purposes of the VIX Index (or any relevant successor index) are materially inaccurate; (vi) a decision to
permanently discontinue trading in SPX Options or futures on the VIX Index (or futures on any relevant successor index) occurs; (vii) on any Index Business Day, the occurrence or existence of a lack of, or a material decline in, the liquidity
in the market for trading in any futures contract underlying the Index occurs; (viii) any event or any condition (including without limitation any event or condition that occurs as a result of the enactment, promulgation, execution,

occurs; or (ix) the declaration or continuance of a general moratorium in respect of banking activities occurs in any relevant city. For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred, (A) a limitation on the hours
or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the Relevant Exchange for the S&P 500® Index or the VIX Index (or any relevant successor index); (B) limitations pursuant to the rules of any Relevant Exchange similar to NYSE Rule 80B (or any
applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by any other self-regulatory organization or any government agency of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80B as determined by S&P) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a
suspension, absence or material limitation of trading; (C) a suspension of trading in an SPX Option or a futures contract on the VIX Index (or futures contract on any relevant successor index) by the Relevant Exchange for the VIX Index (or any
relevant successor index) by reason 

  
 –7–









 
of a price change exceeding limits set by such relevant exchange, an imbalance of orders relating to such options, or a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such options will, in each such
case, constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on such Relevant Exchange; and (D) a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” on any Relevant Exchange will not include any time when such
Relevant Exchange is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. “Relevant exchange” means, with respect to the S&P 500® Index, the primary exchange or market of trading for any equity security (or any combination thereof) then included in the S&P 500® Index or, with respect to the VIX Index or any relevant successor index, the primary exchange or market for SPX
Options or futures on the VIX Index (or futures on any relevant successor index). 
 “Maturity Date” means
July 12, 2021, 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

Market Disruption Events, such postponement not to exceed five Trading Days. We refer to July 8, 2011 as the “Initial Valuation Date” and July 2, 2021 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 

  
 –8–









 
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 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 this Security on the applicable Issuer Redemption Date, in the case the Company exercises its right to redeem the 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 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 Holder Redemption, Upon Issuer Redemption or
Automatic Termination Event 
 The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date, on a Holder
Redemption Date, an Issuer 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”, “Holder Redemption”,
“Issuer Redemption” and 

  
 –9–









 
“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 
 (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 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 Holder 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. 
 (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 ten 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. 
 (c) Automatic Termination Event. 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 

  
 –10–









 
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 holder redemption, issuer redemption or redemption arising from an
Automatic Termination Event, Market Disruption Events, Valuation Dates, Business Days, Trading Days, the Closing Indicative Note Value, the Long Index Amount, the Financing Level, the Daily Financing Charge, the Daily Investor Fee, the Default
Amount, the Maturity Date, the amount payable in respect of the Securities at maturity, upon holder redemption, issuer 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 Holder Redemption, Issuer 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. 

  
 –11–









 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 May 27, 2011 and (iii) the Pricing Supplement, dated July 8, 2011, (together, the “Prospectus”). The terms and conditions of this Security as fully set forth in the
Prospectus are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Security and binding upon the parties hereto. In the event 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

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 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.

 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. 
 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 

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 $30. 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.
