Interest accrued during the Initial Fixed Rate Period shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 6 and September 6 of each year (each, a "**Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date**"), commencing on September 6, 2023.

Interest during the Initial Fixed Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year divided into twelve months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period.

Interest during the Reset Fixed Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of an incomplete month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period.

The U.S. Treasury Rate shall be determined by The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as calculation agent.

If the U.S. Treasury Rate cannot be determined, for whatever reason, as described under (1) or (2) above, "U.S. Treasury Rate" means the rate in percentage per annum as notified by the Calculation Agent to the Company equal to the yield on U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity of one year as set forth in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15 Daily Update" under the caption "Treasury constant maturities" (or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury constant maturities" for the maturity of one year) on the Reset Determination Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have the rights set forth in Section 9.03 of the Senior Indenture with respect to any amendment or alteration of the terms and conditions of the Securities and the Indenture.

"**Event of Default**", wherever used herein with respect to Senior Debt Securities of a particular series, means the making of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction which is not successfully appealed within 30 days of the making of such order, or valid adoption by the shareholders of the Company of an effective resolution, for the winding-up of the Company (other than under or in connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency). The exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under this Section 5.01 or a Default under Section 5.03.

Section 3.08. *Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment*. With respect to the Securities only, Section 5.02 of the Senior Indenture is amended by adding the following at the end of the section:

If the Senior Debt Securities become due and payable (whether pursuant to this Section 5.02 or Article 11 below) and the Company fails to pay such amounts (or any damages awarded for breach of any obligations in respect of the Senior Debt Securities or this Senior Debt Securities Indenture) forthwith upon demand, notwithstanding the continuing right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of and interest on Senior Debt Securities, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, each in accordance with Section 316(b) (*Directions and Waivers by Bondholders; Prohibition of Impairment of Holders' Right to Repayment*) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute proceedings for the winding up of the Company, and/or prove in a winding up of the Company for all such due and payable amounts (including any damages awarded for breach of any obligations in respect of the Senior Debt Securities or this Senior Debt Securities Indenture) but no other remedy shall be available to the Trustee or the Holders.

Section 3.09. *Defaults; Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee*. With respect to the Securities only, Section 5.03 of the Senior Indenture is amended and restated in its entirety and shall read as follows:

Section 5.03. *Defaults; Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee*. "**Default**" wherever used herein with respect to Senior Debt Securities of a particular series, means any one of the following events (subject as provided below, whatever the reason for such Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Company fails to pay any installment of interest on any Senior Debt Security of such series on or before its Interest Payment Date and such failure continues for 14 days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company fails to pay all or any part of the principal of any Senior Debt Security of such series on any date on which such principal shall otherwise have become due and payable, whether upon redemption or otherwise, and such failure continues for seven days.

If a Default occurs, the Trustee may commence a proceeding for the winding-up of the Company and/or prove in a winding-up of the Company, provided that the Trustee may not (except in such winding-up, in accordance with Section 5.01) declare the principal amount of, or any other amount in respect of, any Outstanding Senior Debt Security to be due and payable.

Subject to applicable law, including the Trust Indenture Act, no Holder may exercise or claim any right of set-off, counterclaim, combination of accounts, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by the Company arising under or in connection with the Senior Debt Securities. The Holders of Senior Debt Securities by their acceptance thereof will be deemed to have waived any right of set-off, counterclaim, combination of accounts, compensation and retention with respect to the Senior Debt Securities or this Senior Debt Securities Indenture (or between the obligations under or in respect of any Senior Debt Securities and any liability owed by a Holder to the Company) that they might otherwise have against the Company, whether before or during a winding-up or liquidation of the Company. Notwithstanding the above, if any of such rights and claims of any such Holder against the Company are discharged by set-off, such Holder will immediately pay an amount equal to the amount of such discharge to the Company or, in the event of the winding up of the Company, the liquidator or administrator (or other relevant insolvency official), as the case may be, and until such time as payment is made will hold a sum equal to such amount in trust for the Company or the liquidator or administrator (or other relevant insolvency official), as the case may be, and accordingly such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to make any payment in respect of a series of Senior Debt Securities shall not be a Default in respect of such Senior Debt Securities if such payment is withheld or refused and the Company delivers an Opinion of Counsel concluding that such sums were not paid in order to comply with any fiscal or other law or regulation or with the order of any court of competent jurisdiction, provided, however, that the Trustee may by notice to the Company require the Company to take such action (including but not limited to proceedings for a declaration by a court of competent jurisdiction) as the Trustee may be advised in an Opinion of Counsel, upon which opinion the Trustee may conclusively rely, is appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances to resolve such doubt, in which case the Company shall forthwith take and expeditiously proceed with such action and shall be bound by any final resolution of the doubt resulting therefrom. If any such action results in a determination that the relevant payment can be made without violating any applicable law, regulation or order then the provisions of the preceding sentence shall cease to have effect and the payment shall become due and payable on the expiration of 14 days (in the case of payments under Section 5.03(a) above) or seven days (in the case of payments under Section 5.03(b) above) after the Trustee gives written notice to the Company informing it of such resolution.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 5, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Senior Debt Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Senior Debt Securities Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Senior Debt Securities Indenture or by law, provided, however, that the Company shall not, as a result of the bringing of such judicial proceedings, be required to pay any amount representing or measured by reference to the principal of, or any interest on, the Senior Debt Securities prior to any date on which the principal of, or any interest on, the Senior Debt Securities would have otherwise been payable by the Company.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Senior Debt Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Senior Debt Securities Indenture, or in any Senior Debt Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation of the Company, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that to the extent lawful all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Senior Debt Securities Indenture and the issue of the Senior Debt Securities.

No remedy against the Company other than as referred to in this Article 5 shall be available to the Trustee or the Holders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the Senior Debt Securities or under this Senior Debt Securities Indenture or in respect of any breach by the Company of any of its other obligations under or in respect of the Senior Debt Securities or under this Senior Debt Securities Indenture, except that the Trustee and the Holders shall have such rights and powers as they are required to have under the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 3.10. With respect to the Securities only, (a) Sections 5.07(a), 5.07(b), 5.11, 5.13, 6.02, 6.03(i), 8.01(b), 8.03(c) and 10.03(b) shall be amended to add the words "or Default" after each appearance of the words "Event of Default" and (b) Section 11.08 shall be amended to replace in the first paragraph the word "Unless" with the words "Subject to Section 11.1 and unless".

Section 3.11. *Deletion of Satisfaction and Discharge Provisions*. With respect to the Securities only, Article 4 of the Senior Indenture is deleted in its entirety.

Section 3.12. *Compensation and Reimbursement*. With respect to the Securities only, Section 6.07 of the Senior Indenture is amended in part to add the following sentence at the end of the section:

The Trustee's right to reimbursement and indemnity under this Section 6.07 shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Debt Securities, the discharge of this Senior Debt Securities Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and (without prejudice to Section 4.08 of the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture if and to the extent applicable as set out therein) any exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the obligations owed or owing to Holders pursuant to or in connection with the Senior Debt Securities.

Section 3.13. *Certain Rights of Trustee.* With respect to the Securities only, Section 6.03 of the Senior Indenture is amended in part to add the following at the end of the section:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Trustee shall not be liable for errors in judgment made in good faith unless it was negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The Trustee may hold funds uninvested without liability for interest in the absence of an agreement signed by the Trustee to the contrary.

Section 3.14. *Sanctions*. The following Section is added as new Section 10.08 of the Senior Indenture:

Section 10.08. *Sanctions*. (a) The Company covenants and represents that neither they nor any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers are the target or subject of any sanctions enforced by the US government, (including, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("**OFAC**")), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, HM Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively "**Sanctions**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers will use any payments made pursuant to this Senior Debt Securities Indenture, (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any person who, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject or target of Sanctions, (ii) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any country or territory that is the target or subject of Sanctions, or (iii) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Sub-sections (a) and (b) will not apply if and to the extent that they are or would be unenforceable by reason of breach of (i) any provision of Council Regulation (EC) No 2271/96 of 22 November 1996 (or any law or regulation implementing such Regulation in any member state of the European Economic Area (EEA)) or (ii) any similar blocking or anti-boycott law in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. However, if the aforementioned Council Regulation purports to make compliance with any portion of this Section unenforceable by the Company, the Company will nonetheless take such measures as may be necessary to ensure that the Company does not use the services in any manner which would cause the Trustee, Paying Agent or Senior Debt Security Registrar to violate Sanctions applicable to them.

Section 3.15. *Certain Rights of Senior Debt Security Registrar and Paying Agent.* The Senior Debt Security Registrar and Paying Agent shall have the benefit of the rights, protections, indemnifications and immunities granted to the Trustee in the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture, *mutatis mutandis*.

Section 3.16. *Agreement with Respect to Exercise of U.K. Bail-In Power.* The following provisions relate solely to the Securities established pursuant to this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities, by purchasing or acquiring the Securities each Holder (including each beneficial owner) of the Securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person (and the issue to or conferral on the holder of such shares, securities or obligations, including by means of amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the Securities); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; any U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. bail-in power. With respect to (i), (ii) and (iii) above, references to principal and interest shall include payments of principal and interest that have become due and payable (including principal that has become due and payable at the maturity date), but which have not been paid, prior to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of the Securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders and/or beneficial owners under the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) By purchasing or acquiring the Securities, each Holder and each beneficial owner of the Securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) acknowledges and agrees that no exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in respect of the Securities shall give rise to a default or an Event of Default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, (a) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders or beneficial owners of the Securities under Section 5.12 of the Senior Indenture, and (b) neither the Senior Indenture nor this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall impose any duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, any of the Securities remain outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of the Securities), then the Trustee's duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment to this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, unless the Company and the Trustee agree in writing that a supplemental indenture is not necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Holder or beneficial owner that purchases or acquires its Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders and beneficial owners of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. bail-in power.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) By purchasing or acquiring the Securities, each Holder and each beneficial owner shall be deemed to have (i) consented to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (ii) authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or beneficial owner or the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority unless, at the time that such repayment or payment, respectively, is scheduled to become due, such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Company under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom applicable to the Company and the Group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Upon the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities, the Company shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. bail-in power for purposes of notifying Holders and beneficial owners of such occurrence. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. Any delay or failure by the Company in delivering the notices referred to in this paragraph shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the U.K. bail-in power.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Company's obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.07 of the Senior Indenture shall survive any exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities.

Section 3.17. *Redemption of Securities.* With respect to the Securities only, Article 11 of the Senior Indenture is amended to add a Section 11.09, Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, each of which shall read as follows:

Section 11.09. *Optional Redemption.*

Subject to Section 11.11 and on at least 5 Business Days', but no more than 30 Business Days', prior written notice delivered to the registered holders of the Securities, the Company may, at the Company's option and in its sole discretion (but subject to, if and to the extent then required by the Relevant Regulator or the Loss Absorption Regulations, the Company giving notice to the Relevant Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting the Company permission), redeem the Securities, in whole, but not in part, on March 6, 2028, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Section 11.10 *Loss Absorption Disqualification Event Redemption*.

Subject to Section 11.11, the Company may, at the Company's option (but subject to, if and to the extent then required by the Relevant Regulator or the Loss Absorption Regulations, the Company giving notice to the Relevant Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting the Company permission), having given not less than 15 nor more than 30 days' notice to holders, redeem all but not some only of the Securities outstanding at any time at 100% of their principal amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if immediately prior to the giving of the notice referred to above, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that a Loss Absorption Disqualification Event has occurred.

Section 11.11. *Conditions to Redemption and Repurchase, etc.*

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any redemption or purchase of Securities (other than redemption on the relevant Maturity Date), and any modification to the terms of the Securities or any indenture relating thereto, is subject to, if and to the extent then required by the Relevant Regulator or the Loss Absorption Regulations, the Company giving notice to the Relevant Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting the Company permission therefor and otherwise to compliance with the Loss Absorption Regulations if and to the extent then required thereunder.

Section 3.18. *Additional Amounts.* With respect to the Securities only, Section 10.04 of the Senior Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 10.04. *Additional Amounts.*

Amounts to be paid on any series of Senior Debt Securities will be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present and future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees 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 (the "**Taxing Jurisdiction**"), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Company to make such deduction or withholding, the Company will pay additional amounts with respect to interest only on, the Senior Debt Securities ("**Additional Amounts**") that are necessary in order that the net amounts of interest paid to the Holders of Senior Debt Securities of the particular series, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts of interest only which would have been payable on the Senior Debt Securities if the deduction or withholding had not been required. *However*, this will not apply to any such tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee, which would not have been deducted or withheld but for the fact that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Senior Debt Security is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or is physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of a Senior Debt Security, or the collection of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest, or other payment on, any Senior Debt Security of the relevant series,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) except in the case of winding-up in the United Kingdom, the relevant Senior Debt Security is presented (where presentation is required) for payment in the United Kingdom,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the relevant Senior Debt Security is presented (where presentation is required) for payment more than 30 days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment at the close of that 30 day period,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the relevant Senior Debt Security or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of or any interest or other payment on, the Senior Debt Security failed to comply with a request of the Company or its liquidator or other authorized person addressed to the Holder (x) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or the beneficial owner or (y) to make any declaration or other similar claim to satisfy any requirement, which in the case of (x) or (y), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the deduction or withholding is imposed by reason of any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder ("FATCA"), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) any combination of subclauses (i) through (v) above,

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any interest only on the Senior Debt Securities to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of any Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or partner or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts, had it been the Holder.

Whenever in this Senior Debt Securities Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of interest on, in respect of, any Senior Debt Security of any series such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and as if express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) were made in any provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. Upon request from the Trustee or a paying agent, the Company shall provide information reasonably necessary and readily available in order to enable to the Trustee or paying agent to determine whether any withholding obligations under FATCA apply. Neither the Company, the Trustee or a paying agent shall have any liability in connection with the Company's or Trustee's or paying agent's compliance with any such withholding obligation under applicable law.

LLOYDS BANKING GROUP plc (herein called the "Company," which term includes any successor person under the Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[·] ([·] dollars) on March 6, 2029 (the "Maturity Date") or on such earlier date as the principal hereof may become due in accordance with the terms hereof and to pay interest thereon (i) from, and including, the date of issuance hereof to, but excluding, March 6, 2028, semi-annually in arrears on the Initial Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates (as defined on the reverse hereof) and (ii) from, and including, March 6, 2028 to, but excluding, March 6, 2029, semi-annually in arrears on the Reset Rate Interest Payment Dates (as defined in the reverse hereof). Interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date (as defined on the reverse hereof) shall be paid to the Holder in whose name this Security is registered on the 15<sup>th</sup> calendar day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day, as defined in the Indenture (each a "Regular Record Date"). If (i) the Company fails to pay any installment of interest on this Security on or before its Interest Payment Date and such failure continues for 14 days or (ii) the Company fails to pay all or any part of the principal of this Security on any date on which such principal shall otherwise have become due and payable, whether upon redemption or otherwise, and such failure continues for seven days (each of (i) and (ii), a "Default"), the Trustee may commence a proceeding for the winding up of the Company, provided that the Trustee may not, upon the occurrence of a Default, declare the principal amount of any of the Outstanding Securities to be due and payable.

As set forth on the reverse hereof, interest shall accrue on this Security from day to day from the date of issuance hereof until the principal amount hereof is paid or made available for payment.

Payments of interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year divided into twelve months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed in such period.

Payment of the principal amount of (and premium, if any) and any interest 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. Such payment shall be made to the Holder including through a Paying Agent of the Company. If the date for payment of the principal amount hereof (and premium, if any) or interest thereon is not a Business Day, then (subject as provided in the Indenture) such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date for payment and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay.

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 of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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.

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

Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder or beneficial owner of this Security, by purchasing or acquiring this Security, each Holder (including each beneficial owner) of this Security acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person (and the issue to or conferral on the holder of such shares, securities or obligations, including by means of amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the Securities); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; any U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. bail-in power. With respect to (i), (ii) and (iii) above, references to principal and interest shall include payments of principal and interest that have become due and payable (including principal that has become due and payable at the maturity date), but which have not been paid, prior to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of the Securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders and/or beneficial owners under the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

For these purposes, a "U.K. bail-in power" is any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification, moratorium and/or suspension power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of financial holding companies, mixed financial holding companies, banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to the Company or other members of the Group, including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements which are implemented, adopted or enacted in the United Kingdom within the context of the U.K. resolution regime under the Banking Act 2009 as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013, secondary legislation or otherwise) and/or the Loss Absorption Regulations, pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, canceled, modified, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any other person (or suspended for a temporary period) or pursuant to which any right in a contract governing such obligations may be deemed to have been exercised. A reference to the "relevant U.K. resolution authority" is to any authority with the ability to exercise a U.K. bail-in power.

[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 a Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2010, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 6, 2016 (herein called the "Senior Indenture"), among the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch as trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), as supplemented by the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 6, 2023, among the Company, the Trustee and as paying agent (herein called the "Paying Agent") and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin Branch, as Senior Debt Security Registrar (the "Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture", and, together with the Senior Indenture, the "Indenture") to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,250,000,000. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, issue additional notes having the same ranking and interest rate, maturity date, redemption terms and other terms as the Securities except for the price to the public, issue date and first interest payment date, provided that such additional notes must be fungible with the outstanding Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such Securities, together with this Security, will constitute a single series of securities under the Indenture. The Securities will initially be issued in the form of one or more global Securities (each, a "Global Security"). Except as provided in the Indenture, a Global Security shall not be exchangeable for one or more definitive Securities.

The Securities of this series will constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, as described herein, and will rank *pari passu* and without any preference among themselves and at least *pari passu* with all of the Company's other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, present and future subject to such exceptions as may be provided by mandatory provisions of applicable law.

During the period from, and including, March 6, 2023 to, but excluding, March 6, 2028 (the "Initial Fixed Rate Period"), interest shall accrue from the Issue Date at a fixed rate of 5.871% per annum. Interest accrued during the Initial Fixed Rate Period shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on September 6 and March 6 of each year (each, a "Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date"), commencing on September 6, 2023.

During the period from, and including, March 6, 2028 (the "Reset Day") to, but excluding, March 6, 2029 (the "Reset Fixed Rate Period"), interest shall accrue at a fixed annual rate equal to the applicable U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined below) as determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) on the Reset Determination Date (as defined below), *plus* 170 basis points (1.700%). Interest accrued on the Securities during the Reset Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on September 6, 2028 and March 6, 2029 (each a "Reset Rate Interest Payment Date", and together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, the "Interest Payment Dates").

Interest during the Initial Fixed Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year divided into twelve months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period. If any scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Company shall pay interest on the next Business Day, but interest on that payment shall not accrue during the period from and after such scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date.

Interest during the Reset Fixed Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of an incomplete month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such period. The interest rate during the Reset Fixed Rate Period will be reset on the Reset Determination Date. If any scheduled Reset Rate Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, interest will be paid on the next Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such scheduled Reset Rate Interest Payment Date.

"**Comparable Treasury Issue**" means, with respect to the Reset Fixed Rate Period, the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Company with a maturity date on or about the last day of the Reset Fixed Rate Period and that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars and having a maturity of one year.

"**Comparable Treasury Price**" means, with respect to the Reset Date, (i) the arithmetic average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Reset Date (calculated by the Calculation Agent on the Reset Determination Date preceding the Reset Date), after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received by the Company, the arithmetic average of all such quotations, or (iii) if fewer than two such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received by the Company, then such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations as quoted in writing to the Company by a Reference Treasury Dealer.

"**Reference Treasury Dealer**" means each of up to five banks selected by the Company, or if the affiliates of such banks, which are (i) primary U.S. Treasury securities dealers, and their respective successors, or (ii) market makers in pricing corporate bond issues denominated in U.S. dollars.

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

"**Reset Determination Date**" means the second Business Day immediately preceding the Reset Date.

"**U.S. Treasury Rate**" means, with respect to the Reset Date, the rate per annum equal to: (1) the yield on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity for one-year maturities on the Reset Determination Date and appearing under the caption "Treasury constant maturities" on the Reset Determination Date in the applicable most recently published statistical release designated "H.15 Daily Update", 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 of one year; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published on the Reset Determination Date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Reset Date.

The U.S. Treasury Rate shall be determined by The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent").

If the U.S. Treasury Rate cannot be determined, for whatever reason, as described under (1) or (2) above, "U.S. Treasury Rate" means the rate in percentage per annum as notified by the Calculation Agent to the Company equal to the yield on U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity of one year as set forth in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15 Daily Update" under the caption "Treasury constant maturities" (or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury constant maturities" for the maturity of one year) on the Reset Determination Date.

All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and on the Holders of the Securities.

All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

The interest rate on the Securities during the Reset Fixed Rate Period will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by law or lower than 0% per annum.

By its acquisition of Securities or an interest therein, each holder and beneficial owner of Securities and each subsequent holder and beneficial owner waives any and all claims in law and/or equity against the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or any paying agent for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee, the Calculation Agent and any paying agent in respect of, and agrees that none of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or any paying agent will be liable for, any action that the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or any paying agent, as the case may be, takes, or abstains from taking, in each case in accordance with this section or any losses suffered in connection therewith.

Subject to Section 11.11 of the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture and on at least 5 Business Days but no more than 30 Business Days' prior written notice delivered to the Holders of the Securities, the Company may in its sole discretion (but subject to, if and to the extent then required by the Relevant Regulator or the Loss Absorption Regulations, the Company giving notice to the Relevant Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting the Company permission) redeem, the Securities, in whole, but not in part, on March 6, 2028 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities *plus* any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holder or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series may declare the principal amount of, and any accrued interest on and any Additional Amounts on, all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

Except as otherwise provided in Article 5 of the Senior Indenture, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by the Indenture or by law, provided, however, that the Company shall not, as a result of the bringing of such judicial proceedings, be required to pay any amount representing or measured by reference to the principal of, or any interest on, the Securities prior to any date on which the principal of, or any interest on, the Securities would have otherwise been payable by the Company.

If a Default occurs, the Trustee may commence a proceeding for the winding-up of the Company and/or prove in a winding-up of the Company, provided that the Trustee may not, upon the occurrence of a Default, declare the principal amount of any of the Outstanding Securities to be due and payable.

Failure to make any payment in respect of this Security shall not be a Default if such payment is withheld or refused and an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Trustee concluding that such sums were not paid in order to comply with any fiscal or other law or regulation or with the order of any court of competent jurisdiction, provided, however, that the Trustee may by notice to the Company require the Company to take such action (including but not limited to proceedings for a declaration by a court of competent jurisdiction) as the Trustee may be advised in an Opinion of Counsel, upon which opinion the Trustee may conclusively rely, is appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances to resolve such doubt, in which case the Company shall forthwith take and expeditiously proceed with such action and shall be bound by any final resolution of the doubt resulting therefrom. If any such action results in a determination that the relevant payment can be made without violating any applicable law, regulation or order then the provisions of the preceding sentence shall cease to have effect and the payment shall become due and payable on the expiration of 14 days (in the case of payments under Section 5.03(a) of the Senior Indenture) or seven days (in the case of payments under Section 5.03(b) of the Senior Indenture) after the Trustee gives written notice to the Company informing it of such resolution.

Subject to applicable law, no Holder may exercise or claim any right of set-off, counterclaim, combination of accounts, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by the Company arising under or in connection with the Securities. The Holders of Securities by their acceptance thereof will be deemed to have waived any right of set-off, counterclaim, combination of accounts, compensation and retention with respect to the Securities or the Senior Indenture (or between the obligations under or in respect of the Securities and any liability owed by a Holder to the Company) that they might otherwise have against the Company.

No remedy against the Company other than as referred to in Article 5 of the Senior Indenture shall be available to the Trustee or the Holders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the Securities or under the Indenture or in respect of any breach by the Company of any of its other obligations under or in respect of the Securities or under the Senior Indenture, except that the Trustee and the Holders shall have such rights and powers as they are required to have under the Trust Indenture Act.

Amounts to be paid on the Securities of this Series will be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present and future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees, 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 (the "Taxing Jurisdiction"), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Company to make such deduction or withholding, the Company will pay additional amounts with respect to interest only on the Securities of this series ("Additional Amounts") that are necessary in order that the net amounts of interest paid to the Holders, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts of interest only which would have been payable on the Securities if the deduction or withholding had not been required. *However*, this will not apply to any such tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee, which would not have been deducted or withheld but for the fact that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Holder or the beneficial owner of a Security is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or is physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of a Security, or the collection of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or interest or other payments on, any Security,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) except in the case of winding-up in the United Kingdom, the relevant Security is presented (where presentation is required) for payment in the United Kingdom,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the relevant Security is presented (where presentation is required) for payment more than 30 days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment at the close of that 30 day period,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the relevant Security or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or interest or other payments on, the Security failed to comply with a request of the Company or its liquidator or other authorized person addressed to the Holder (x) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (y) to make any declaration or other similar claim to satisfy any requirement, which in the case of (x) or (y), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the tax, levy, impost, duty, charge or fee,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the deduction or withholding is imposed by reason of any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder ("FATCA"), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted or issued in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) any combination of clauses (i) through (v) above,

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to interest only on the Securities to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of any Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or partner or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts, had it been the Holder. With respect to any deduction or withholding made by any of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or another withholding agent from any amount payable on, or in respect of, the Securities in the events described in clauses (i) through (vi) above, the amounts so deducted or withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the holder of the Securities, and no additional amounts will be paid on account of any such deduction or withholding. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or another withholding agent shall have any liability in connection with their compliance with any such withholding obligation under applicable law.

References herein to the payment of interest on the Securities shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the foregoing paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable under the foregoing provisions.

In addition to the Company's right to redeem the Securities on March 6, 2028, the Securities of this series are redeemable, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company (subject to, if and to the extent required by the Relevant Regulator or the Loss Absorption Regulations, the Company giving notice to the Relevant Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting the Company permission), on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, on any Payment Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest, in respect of the Securities to the date fixed for redemption, if, at any time, the Company shall determine that as a result of a change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of the Taxing Jurisdiction (including any treaty to which such Taxing Jurisdiction is a party), or any change in the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a decision of any court or tribunal) which change or amendment becomes effective on or after March 6, 2023:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in making payment under the Securities the Company has or will or would on the next Payment Date become obligated to pay Additional Amounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the payment of interest on the next Payment Date in respect of the Securities would be treated as a "distribution" within the meaning of Chapter 2 of Part 23 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 of the United Kingdom (or any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof for the time being); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) on the next Payment Date the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of such payment of interest in computing its United Kingdom taxation liabilities (or the value of such deduction to the Company would be materially reduced).

In any case where the Company shall determine that, in accordance with Section 11.08 of the Senior Indenture, it is entitled to redeem the Securities of this series, the Company shall be required to deliver to the Trustee prior to the giving of any notice of redemption (i) a written legal opinion of independent United Kingdom counsel of recognized standing (selected by the Company) in a form satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that the relevant change or amendment has occurred and that the Company is entitled to exercise its right of redemption and (ii) an Officer's Certificate, evidencing compliance with such provisions and stating that it is entitled to redeem the Securities pursuant to the terms of the Securities.

The Company may, at the Company's option (but subject to, if and to the extent then required by the Relevant Regulator or the Loss Absorption Regulations, the Company giving notice to the Relevant Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting the Company permission), having given not less than 15 nor more than 30 days' notice to holders, redeem all but not some only of the Securities outstanding at any time at 100% of their principal amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if immediately prior to the giving of the notice referred to above, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that a Loss Absorption Disqualification Event has occurred. Any redemption or purchase of Securities (other than redemption on the relevant maturity date), and any modification to the terms of the Securities or any indenture relating thereto, is subject to, if and to the extent then required by the Relevant Regulator or the Loss Absorption Regulations, the Company giving notice to the Relevant Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting the Company permission therefor and otherwise to compliance with the Loss Absorption Regulations if and to the extent then required thereunder.

If the Company elects to redeem the Securities of this series, the Securities will cease to accrue interest from the date of redemption, *provided* the redemption price has been paid in accordance with the Indenture.

Upon payment of (i) the amount of principal (and premium, if any) so declared due and payable and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, all of the Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Securities of this series shall terminate.

Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities, by purchasing or acquiring the Securities each Holder (including each beneficial owner) of the Securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person (and the issue to or conferral on the holder of such shares, securities or obligations, including by means of an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the Securities); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; any U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. bail-in power. With respect to (i), (ii) and (iii) above, references to principal and interest shall include payments of principal and interest that have become due and payable (including principal that has become due and payable at the maturity date), but which have not been paid, prior to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of the Securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders and/or beneficial owners under the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

By purchasing or acquiring the Securities, each Holder and each beneficial owner of the Securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) acknowledges and agrees that no exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in respect of the Securities shall give rise to a default or an Event of Default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, (a) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders or beneficial owners of the Securities under Section 5.12 of the Senior Indenture, and (b) neither the Senior Indenture nor the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall impose any duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, any of the Securities remain outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of the Securities), then the Trustee's duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment to the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, unless the Company and the Trustee agree in writing that a supplemental indenture is not necessary.

Each Holder or beneficial owner that acquires its Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders and beneficial owners of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. bail-in power.

By purchasing or acquiring the Securities, each Holder and each beneficial owner shall be deemed to have (i) consented to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (ii) authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or beneficial owner or the Trustee.

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority unless, at the time that such repayment or payment, respectively, is scheduled to become due, such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Company under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom applicable to the Company and the Group.

Upon the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities, the Company shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. bail-in power for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. Any delay or failure by the Company in delivering the notices referred to in this paragraph shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the U.K. bail-in power.

The Company's obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.07 of the Senior Indenture shall survive any exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities.

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 to be affected thereby by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of each such series. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and 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 in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

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, if and when due and payable, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of the Securities will have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, this Security or any remedy thereunder; *provided*, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal or interest as and when the same shall have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the right of the Holder of this Security, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Security when due and payable in accordance with the provisions of this Security and the Indenture.

This Security is governed by the laws of the State of New York, except for the waiver of set-off provisions relating to the Securities which are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Scotland.

Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Lloyds Banking Group plc<br> 25 Gresham Street<br> London EC2V 7HN<br> United Kingdom

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel for Lloyds Banking Group plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Scotland (the "**Company**"), in connection with the Company's offering of $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 5.871% Senior Callable Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Notes due 2029 (the "**Securities**") in an underwritten public offering pursuant to (i) the Underwriting Agreement dated February 27, 2023 (the "**Base Underwriting Agreement**") and (ii) the Pricing Agreement dated as of February 27, 2023 (the "**Pricing Agreement**" and, together with the Base Underwriting Agreement, the "**Underwriting Agreement**"). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the senior debt securities indenture dated as of July 6, 2010, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 6, 2016 (the "**Senior Indenture**") between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as trustee (the "**Trustee**"), as supplemented by the sixteenth supplemental indenture dated as of the date hereof among the Company, the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as paying agent and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin Branch, as senior debt security registrar (the "Senior Debt Security Registrar") (the "**Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture**" and, together with the Senior Indenture, the **"Indenture**").

We, as your counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (iv) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (v) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vi) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Assuming that the Senior Indenture and the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company insofar as Scots law is concerned, the Senior Indenture and the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming that the Senior Indenture and the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company, the Trustee and the Senior Debt Security Registrar and that
each of the Company, the Trustee and the Senior Debt Security Registrar has full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform
its obligations thereunder, the Senior Indenture and the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture constitute valid and binding agreements of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, provided that we express no opinion as to the validity, legally
binding effect or enforceability (i) of any provision expressed to be governed by Scots law or (ii) of any provision that permits holders
to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the Securities to the extent determined to constitute unearned
interest; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Assuming that the Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company insofar
as Scots law is concerned, the Securities, when authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered and paid for
in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the
benefits of the Indenture, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, provided that we express no opinion as to the
validity, legally binding effect or enforceability (i) of any provision expressed to be governed by Scots law or (ii) of any provision
that permits holders to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the Securities to the extent determined to
constitute unearned interest.

Our opinions in paragraphs (1) and (2) are subject to (i) the effects of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability and (ii) possible judicial or regulatory actions giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors' rights.

We express no opinion with respect to the provisions in the Securities relating to the acknowledgement of and consent to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power (as defined therein) or Section 3.12 of the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York, and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States, except that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company, the Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate. Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by Scots law, we have relied, without independent inquiry or investigation, on the opinion of CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP, special legal counsel in Scotland for the Company, dated as of March 6, 2023, to be filed as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K concurrently with this opinion.
