Section
2.01.Terms of the Securities.

 

(a)       The
title of the Securities shall be the “3.870% Senior Callable Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Notes due 2025”;

 

(b)       The
aggregate principal amount of the Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall not exceed $1,500,000,000,
except as otherwise provided in the Indenture;

 

(c)       Principal
on the Securities shall be payable on July 9, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”);

 

(d)       The
Securities shall be issued in global registered form on April 9, 2020 (the “Issue Date”).

 

During
the period from, and including, the Issue Date to, but excluding July 9, 2024 (the “Initial Fixed Rate Period”),
interest shall accrue from the Issue Date at a fixed rate of 3.870% per annum. Interest accrued during the Initial Fixed Rate
Period shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 9 and July 9 of each year (each, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment
Date”), commencing on July 9, 2020 (short first interest period).

During
the period from, and including, July 9, 2024 (the “Reset
Date”) to, but excluding, July 9, 2025 (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 3.500%. Interest accrued during the Reset Fixed Rate Period shall
be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 9, 2025 and July 9, 2025 (each, a “Reset Rate Interest Payment Date”,
and together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, the “Interest Payment Dates”).

 

The
Regular Record Dates for the Securities shall be 15 calendar days immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, whether
or not a Business Day. If the scheduled Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the Company may
pay interest and principal on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment shall not accrue during the period
from and after the scheduled Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment.

 

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.

 

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

 

“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.

 

    4 

     

    

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.

 

“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 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,
the arithmetic average of all such quotations, or (iii) if fewer than two such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received,
then such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations as quoted in writing to the Calculation Agent by a Reference Treasury Dealer.

 

“Reference
Treasury Dealer” means each of up to five banks selected by the Company (following, where practicable, consultation
with the Calculation Agent), 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 arithmetic
average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid and offered prices 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.

 

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-

 

    5 

     

    

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.

 

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

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
3.05.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

 

    10 

     

    

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
3.06.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):

 

(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

 

(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

 

    11 

     

    

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

 

    12 

     

    

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

Indenture is deleted in its entirety.

 

Section
3.09.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

to Section 4.08 of the Eleventh 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
3.10.Agreement with Respect to Exercise of U.K. Bail-In Power. The following provisions relate solely to the Securities
established pursuant to this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture:

 

(a)       Notwithstanding
any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities,
by

 

    13 

     

    

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/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; which 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. Each Holder and 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.

 

(b)       By
purchasing or acquiring the Securities, each Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Securities:

 

(i)       acknowledges
and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in respect of the Securities
shall not 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;

 

(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

 

(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 of the Securities under Section 5.12 of the Senior Indenture, and
(b) neither the Senior Indenture nor this Eleventh 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 this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture.

 

    14 

     

    

(c)       By
purchasing or acquiring the Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner that acquires its Securities in the secondary market
shall be deemed to acknowledge and 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
related to the U.K. bail-in power.

 

(d)       By
purchasing or acquiring the Securities, each Holder and 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.

 

(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 and the European Union applicable to the Company and the Group.

 

(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 of such occurrence. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes only.

Section
11.10 Loss Absorption Disqualification Event Redemption.

 

    15 

     

    

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 30 nor more than 60 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 satisfies the Trustee
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

CALLABLE FIXED-TO-FIXED RATE NOTE DUE 2025

 

	No. [·]	$[·]

 

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 July 9,
2025 (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, July 9, 2024, semi-annually
in arrears on the Initial Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates (as defined on the reverse hereof) and (ii) from, and including, July
9, 2024 to, but excluding, July 9, 2025, 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 Senior Note is registered on the 15th 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 Senior Note 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 Senior Note 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 Senior Notes
to be due and payable.

 

As
set forth on the reverse hereof, interest shall accrue on this Senior Note 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 Senior Note 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 Senior Note 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 outside the United Kingdom for collection by the Holder.
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 Senior Note 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 Senior Note is registered as the owner of such Senior Note for the purpose
of receiving payment of principal and interest, if any, on such Senior Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Senior Note 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 Senior Note 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 signature,
this Senior Note 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 Senior Note,
by purchasing or acquiring this Senior Note, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of this Senior Note acknowledges, accepts,
agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power (as defined below) 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,
this Senior Note; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, this Senior Note into
shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person; and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of
the maturity of this Senior Note, or amendment of the amount of interest due on this

 

    A-2

     

    

Senior
Note, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. bail-in
power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of this Senior Note solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant
U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. bail-in power. Each Holder and Beneficial Owner of this Senior Note further acknowledges
and agrees that the rights of the Holders and/or Beneficial Owners under this Senior Note 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 or suspension power existing
from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of 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 and the Group, including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements which are implemented,
adopted or enacted within the context of a European Union directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council
establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms and/or within the context
of a U.K. resolution regime under the U.K. 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), pursuant to which any
obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled,
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
Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Senior Notes”) issued
and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2010 (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 Eleventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020, among the Company and the Trustee (the “Eleventh 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 Senior Notes and of the terms upon which the Senior Notes are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered.

 

This
Senior Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,500,000,000.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Senior Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and interest
rate, maturity date, redemption terms and other terms as the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Any such Senior Notes, together with this Senior Note, will constitute a single series of securities under
the Indenture. The Senior Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more global Senior Notes (each, a “Global
Senior Note”). Except as provided in the Indenture, a Global Senior Note shall not be exchangeable for one or more definitive
Senior Notes.

 

The
Senior Notes 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, April 9, 2020 to, but excluding, July 9, 2024 (the “Initial Fixed Rate Period”), interest
shall accrue from the Issue Date at a fixed rate of 3.870% per annum. Interest accrued during the Initial Fixed Rate Period shall
be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 9 and July 9 of each year (each, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”),
commencing on July 9, 2020 (short first interest period).

 

During
the period from, and including, July 9, 2024 to, but excluding, July 9, 2025 (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 350.0 basis points. Interest accrued
on the Senior Notes during the Reset Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 9, 2025 and July 9,
2025 (each a “Reset

 

    A-6

     

    

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.

 

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

 

“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.

 

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.

 

“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

 

    A-7

     

    

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 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,
the arithmetic average of all such quotations, or (iii) if fewer than two such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are received,
then such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations as quoted in writing to the Calculation Agent by a Reference Treasury Dealer.

 

“Reference
Treasury Dealer” means each of up to five banks selected by the Company (following, where practicable, consultation
with the Calculation Agent), 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 arithmetic
average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid and offered prices 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.

 

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 Senior Notes.

 

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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes or an interest therein, each holder and beneficial owner of Senior Notes 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

 

    A-8

     

    

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 Eleventh 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 Senior Notes, 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, our giving notice to the Relevant
Regulator and the Relevant Regulator granting us permission) redeem, the Senior Notes, in whole, but not in part, on July 9, 2024
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed 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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes of this series may declare
the principal amount of, and any accrued interest on, all the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes
prior to any date on which the principal of, or any interest on, the Senior Notes 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
Senior Notes to be due and payable.

 

Failure
to make any payment in respect of this Senior Note 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

 

    A-9

     

    

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 Senior Notes. The Holders
of Senior Notes 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 Notes or the Senior Indenture (or between the obligations under or in respect
of the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes 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 the principal
of, and interest and any other payments on, the Senior Notes of this series (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary
in order that the net amounts paid to the Holders, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have
been payable on the Senior Notes 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:

 

(i)
the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of a Senior Note 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 Note, or the collection of any payment of (or in respect of) principal
of, or interest or other payments on, any Senior Note,

 

    A-10

     

    

(ii)
except in the case of winding-up in the United Kingdom, the relevant Senior Note is presented (where presentation is required)
for payment in the United Kingdom,

 

(iii)
the relevant Senior Note 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,

 

(iv)
the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of the relevant Senior Note or the Beneficial Owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal
of, or interest or other payments on, the Senior Note 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,

 

(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

 

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

 

nor shall
Additional Amounts be paid with respect to the principal of, or any interest or other payments on, the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes, 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 the principal of or interest or other payments on the Senior Notes shall be deemed to include mention
of the payment of Additional

 

    A-11

     

    

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 Senior Notes on July 9, 2024, the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes 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 April 9, 2020:

 

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

 

(b)
the payment of interest on the next Payment Date in respect of the Senior Notes 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

 

(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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes pursuant to the terms of the Senior Notes.

 

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 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to holders, redeem all but not some only of the
Senior Notes 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

 

    A-12

     

    

Company
satisfies the Trustee that a Loss Absorption Disqualification Event has occurred. Any redemption or purchase of Senior Notes (other
than redemption on the relevant maturity date), and any modification to the terms of the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes of this series, the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes of this series shall terminate.

 

Notwithstanding
any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder or Beneficial Owner of this Senior Note,
by purchasing or acquiring this Senior Note, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) of this Senior Note 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 Senior Notes;
(ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Senior Notes into shares or other securities
or other obligations of the Company or another person; and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Senior
Notes, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Senior Notes, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including
by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of
the Senior Notes solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. bail-in power. Each
Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Senior Notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders and/or Beneficial
Owners under the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Senior Notes:

 

(i)
acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in respect of the
Senior Notes shall not 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;

 

    A-13

     

    

(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 Senior Notes; and

 

(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 of the Senior Notes under Section 5.12 of the Senior Indenture,
and (b) neither the Senior Indenture nor the Eleventh 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 Senior
Notes 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 Senior Notes), then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Senior Notes
following such completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an
amendment to the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture.

 

By
purchasing or acquiring the Senior Notes, each Holder and Beneficial Owner that acquires its Senior Notes in the secondary market
shall be deemed to acknowledge and 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 Senior Notes that acquire the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes
related to the U.K. bail-in power.

 

By
purchasing or acquiring the Senior Notes, each Holder and 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 Senior Notes and (ii) authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant
in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Senior Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement
the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power with respect to the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes or payment of interest on the Senior Notes 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 and the European Union applicable to the Company and the Group.

 

    A-14

     

    

Upon
the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Senior Notes, 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.

 

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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes 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
Senior Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all Senior Notes 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 Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any
Senior Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Senior Note.

 

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

 

This
Senior Note will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

 

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

annualized base salary payable to King shall be payable in not less than 12 monthly installments according to the standard payroll
practices of Water Now and subject to state and federal withholding and any other deductions authorized by King.

 

b.                  
Employee Benefits. As of the Effective Date, Water Now affirms that it is not subject to the Employer Mandate pursuant
to the Affordable Care Act. Water Now shall neither provide nor subsidize any health insurance policies or premiums for King. If
during the term of this Agreement Water Now does become subject to such Employer Mandate, it agrees to provide at least the minimum
required health insurance to King.

 

c.                  
Personal Time Off. During the Term of Employment, King shall be entitled to fourteen (14) business days of paid personal
time off (“Vacation Days”) per calendar year (prorated for partial years) and such paid holidays provided to
employees of Water Now in accordance with the Policies. Vacation Days may be taken at such intervals as shall be appropriate and
consistent with the proper performance of King’s duties hereunder. To the extent not used in any calendar year, King may
carry over any unused Vacation Days to the subsequent calendar year.

 

d.                  
Expenses. Water Now will reimburse King for all pre-approved, reasonable, and necessary out-of-pocket business, travel,
and entertainment expenses incurred by King in the regular and ordinary performance of King’s duties and responsibilities
hereunder. Such reimbursement will be subject to Water Now’s Policies for expense pre-approval, verification, documentation
and reimbursement. King shall provide Water Now with satisfactory receipts or other documentation properly supporting all expense

4.                  
Termination.

End of Term of Employment. King’s employment with Water Now will automatically terminate at the expiration

    	2 

    	 

    

b.                  
Death or Disability. King’s employment shall terminate automatically upon King’s death during the Term
of Employment without necessity of Notice of Termination, as defined below. If Water Now determines in good faith that King is
incapacitated due to mental or physical illness, and such illness has caused King to be absent from performance of his duties with
Water Now on a substantial basis for 120 or more consecutive or non-consecutive calendar days within any 12-month period, Water
Now may terminate the Agreement upon not less than 30 days’ written notice. “Notice of Termination” means a written
notice which (a) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (b) to the extent applicable, sets
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of King’s employment under
the provision so indicated; and (c) sets forth the date of termination.

 

c.                  
By Water Now. Water Now may terminate King’s employment (i) at any time, for Cause, as defined below, or (ii)
at any time, without Cause, upon 45 days’ prior written notice to King.

 

i.                 
“Cause” means (i) any act or omission constituting misconduct or negligence, fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement,
conflict of interest or competitive business activities, including but not limited to any arrest on criminal charges; (ii) any
chemical dependence which materially adversely affects the performance of duties and responsibilities; (iii) breach of fiduciary
obligations to Water Now in a material respect; (iv) repeated failure to perform the duties of Water Now after written notice of
the alleged failure and a reasonable opportunity to cure; (v) material breach of Water Now’s policies or any material provision
of this Agreement; or (vi) gross misconduct resulting in substantial loss to Water Now or damage to its reputation.

 

d.                  
By King. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, King may terminate his employment with Water Now
(i) for Good Reason, as defined below, in compliance with the provisions set forth below and upon delivery of a Good Reason Notice,
as defined below, to Water Now, or (ii) voluntarily and without Good Reason, upon delivery of a Notice of Termination to Water
Now at least 45 days prior to the date of termination (which Water Now may, in its sole discretion, make effective earlier than
the date set forth in the Notice of Termination). Water Now may require that King not come to work during the notice period and
may assign one or more of King’s duties and authority to one or more other individuals.

 

i.                 
“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without King’s prior written consent:
(a) the assignment to King of any duties which are illegal; (b) a material diminution in King’s authority, duties, or responsibilities;
(c) a material reduction in King’s salary, as approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors (other than across-the-board
salary reductions in connection with a restructuring or similar event); or (d) any material breach by Water Now of this Agreement;
provided, however, that King’s termination will not be for Good Reason unless: (i) the Notice of Termination of King’s
resignation for Good Reason is delivered to Water Now within 30 days after King’s knowledge of the initial occurrence of
the event which King believes constitutes Good Reason and such Notice of Termination specifically identifies such event (each,
a “Good Reason Notice”); (ii) Water Now fails to remedy the event giving rise to the Good Reason termination
within 45 days after receipt of such Good Reason Notice (the “Remedial Period”); and (iii) King actually
resigns within the 45-day period following the end of the Remedial Period.

5.                  
Obligations of Water Now Upon Termination.

 

a.                  
Death or Disability. If, during the Term of Employment, King’s employment is terminated by reason of King’s
death or disability, Water Now shall pay, or cause to be paid, to King (or King’s heirs, beneficiaries, or representatives,
as applicable) in a lump sum in cash, within 30 days after the date of termination, the sum of (i) $240,000.00; and (ii) any benefits
to which King (or his designated beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable) is entitled or has become vested (or becomes

in which King is a participant as of the date of termination.

 

b.                  
Good Reason or Without Cause Termination. If, during the Term of Employment, King’s employment is terminated

beneficiaries, or representatives, as applicable) in a lump sum in cash, within 30 days after the date of termination, the sum
of the obligations set forth in Section 5(a) of this Agreement.

 

c.                  
Voluntary or For Cause Termination. In the event of voluntary termination by King or the termination of his employment

other than the fixed compensation and benefits earned and accrued as of such termination date.

 

6.                  
Competition, Disclosure, Ownership, and Solicitation. It is expressly understood by the parties to this Agreement
that all covenants contained in this Section 6 are essential components of this Agreement and that but for King’s
agreement to comply with these covenants, Water Now would not enter into this Agreement.

 

a.                  
Non-Disclosure. Water Now, including its subsidiaries, owns, controls, and has exclusive access to certain proprietary
information including, but not limited to, patents, designs, work product, plans, processes, and procedures (“Proprietary
Information”). King may, through his employment, become privy to such Proprietary Information and, in addition, may learn
or have access to other confidential information including, but not limited to, information related to Water Now’s competitive
business advantage, development and operation information, financial information, personnel information, customer and supplier
lists, pricing schemes, marketing and sales information, manner of operation, know-how, and other trade secrets (“Confidential
Information”). During the Term of Employment, King shall use King’s best efforts to secure Water Now’s Proprietary
Information and Confidential Information except as necessary to perform King’s duties under this Agreement. Following the
termination of this Agreement, King shall not, without the prior written consent of Water Now or as may otherwise be required by
law or legal process, communicate, use, disclose, or divulge any Proprietary Information, Confidential Information, or related
materials of Water Now or its affiliates at any time.

 

b.                  
Return of Confidential Information. King agrees that, upon termination of this Agreement, King shall: (i) deliver
to Water Now all Confidential Information and Proprietary Information and all copies thereof, along with any and all other property
belonging to Water Now or any client or supplier of Water Now, (ii) return to Water Now all equipment or devices, if any, (iii)
deliver all passwords and log in information for social media profiles; and (iv) return to Water Now all sales material and all

such documents, information or materials to any third party.

    	4 

    	 

    

c.                  
Non-Competition. King agrees that during the time which he is employed by Water Now under this Agreement and for
a period of one (1) year after ceasing to be employed by Water Now for any reason, King will not, directly or indirectly, either
through any kind of ownership (other than ownership of securities of publicly held corporations of which King owns less than five
percent (5%) of any class of outstanding securities) or as a director, officer, principal, agent, employee, employer, advisor,
consultant, co-partner or in any individual or representative capacity whatsoever, either for King’s own benefit or for the
benefit of any other persons or firm, partnership, association, corporation or other entity, without the prior written consent
of Water Now, participate in a competing business, personally engage or act in furtherance of a business in the same or similar
business as Water Now or any of its subsidiaries, or compete with Water Now or any of its subsidiaries, in any respect, in the
geographic area described by Section 6(g) below. This specifically includes but is not limited to any of the following acts,
which acts shall be considered violations of this Section 6(c):

 

i.                       
Creating, marketing, or participating in the development or sale of any competing product or service either for or to any
client of Water Now or any of its subsidiaries;

 

ii.                       
Inducing or attempting to induce any client or prospective client to withdraw, curtail, alter, or cancel its business with
Water Now or any of its subsidiaries;

 

iii.                       
Developing any materials utilizing the Confidential Information or Proprietary Information of Water Now, except for the
benefit of Water Now or any of its subsidiaries;

 

iv.                       
Engaging as an employee of a client or former client for the purpose of performing services within the scope of Water Now’s
business or forming or joining an operation to provide the services of that client which was or has been provided by Water Now
or any of its subsidiaries; and

 

v.                       
Engaging in or being employed by any business which competes with Water Now or any of its subsidiaries.

 

d.                  
Non-Solicitation of Employees and Contractors. King agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period
of one year from the date of termination of this Agreement, King will not, directly or indirectly, either through any kind of ownership
(other than ownership of securities of publicly held corporations of which King owns less than five percent (%5) of any class of
outstanding securities) or as a director, officer, principal, agent, employee, employer, advisor, consultant, co-partner or in
any individual or representative capacity whatsoever, either for King’s own benefit or for the benefit of any other persons
or firm, partnership, association, corporation or other entity, without the prior written consent of Water Now, attempt to hire,
solicit, recruit, or otherwise induce any person with whom King worked or interacted directly who is, or within the preceding six
(6) months was, an employee of Water Now or any of its subsidiaries, or an independent contractor or consultant of any kind providing
services to Water Now or any of its subsidiaries, to terminate or curtail his, her, or its business relationship with Water Now
or any of its subsidiaries.

 

e.                  
Non-Solicitation of Clients and Referral Sources. King agrees that for a period of one year from the date of termination
of this Agreement, King will not, directly or indirectly, either through any kind of ownership (other than ownership of securities
of publicly held corporations of which King owns less than five percent (5%) of any class of outstanding securities) or as a director,

    	5 

    	 

    

officer, principal, agent,
employee, employer, advisor, consultant, co-partner or in any individual or representative capacity whatsoever, either for King’s
own benefit or for the benefit of any other persons or firm, partnership, association, corporation or other entity, without the
prior written consent of Water Now, solicit or accept any business from any client of Water Now, or any of its subsidiaries, in
the Geographic Scope and who King was aware of, for any purpose that might cause the client to curtail or terminate its business
or prospective business with Water Now or any of its subsidiaries, or solicit or accept referrals of business from any referral
source. Possible referral sources include, but are not limited to, any individual, proprietorship, partnership, corporation, association,
governmental entity, or other entity that referred clients or potential clients to Water Now or any of its subsidiaries within
the one (1) year period immediately prior to termination of King’s employment.

 

f.                   
King acknowledges that his adherence to the terms of the covenants set forth in Section 6 are necessary to protect
the value of Water Now’s business, that a breach of such covenants will result in irreparable and continuing damage to Water
Now, and that money damages would not adequately compensate Water Now for any such breach, and therefore that Water Now would not
have an adequate remedy at law. In the event that Water Now must commence any action or proceeding to enforce such provisions,
King hereby waives his claims or defenses in such action that (i) money damages are adequate to compensate Water Now for the breach,
and (ii) there is an adequate remedy at law available to Water Now. In addition to any and all remedies at law, Water Now shall
have the right, without bond or other security, to an injunction, both temporary and permanent, specific performance, and/or other
equitable relief to prevent violation of such provisions. The parties agree that the remedies of Water Now are cumulative, and
seeking or obtaining injunctive or other equitable relief shall not preclude the making of a claim for damages or other relief.
The parties further agree that Water Now shall be entitled to such damages as it may show it has sustained by reason of such breach.
In addition, Water Now shall be entitled to recover in any action brought to enforce such provisions its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other expenses of litigation, together with such other and further relief as may be proper.

 

g.                  
Geographic Scope. King agrees that, due to the nature and scope of the Water Now Business, the covenants specified
in Sections 6(c) and (e) above shall apply with equal force and effect to King’s activities within the United States.
King further agrees that the geographic scope may be modified by Water Now to be consistent with the geographic area in which King
works or to which King is assigned without consent of King.

 

h.                  
Extension Due to Breach. For any period of time during which King is in breach of the covenants set out in Sections
6(c), (d) and (e), King agrees the obligations in the affected Section shall be extended for an equal period.

 

7.                  
Non-Disparagement. Except as noted in this Section, the parties each promise to refrain from making any disparaging
remarks about the other following the termination of the employment relationship between them. Water Now may, however, offer a
faithful account of King’s service to anyone seeking a recommendation or account for future employment of King. Similarly,
King may make any appropriate good faith charge to any governmental agency regarding the actions of Water Now or any of its subsidiaries,
including, but not limited to, making a report to the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the actions of Water Now.

 

8.                  
Corporate Opportunity. King acknowledges that, while employed by Water Now, each and every business opportunity which
King encounters which is reasonably similar to Water Now or any of its subsidiaries’ present or prospective business dealings
is owned first by Water Now. Before personally engaging in any business opportunity of this type, King shall present, by written
notice to the Board of

    	6 

    	 

    

Directors, a good faith and full description
of the business opportunity that outlines the details of the opportunity, the timeframe in which such opportunity must reasonably
be pursued for potential success, and a clear statement of King’s desire to personally pursue the opportunity if passed on
by Water Now. Water Now shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of notice during which to consider the opportunity. If Water Now
does not accept the opportunity in writing within thirty (30) days of notice by King, King may engage in the business opportunity
so long as engaging in such opportunity does not in any way infringe upon any obligation of King under this Agreement or interfere
with King’s ability to perform King’s responsibilities to Water Now under the Agreement.

 

9.                  
Binding Agreement. This Agreement and all rights of Water Now shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Water Now, its successors, and assigns. This Agreement and all rights of King hereunder shall inure to his benefit and be enforceable
by him, or his personal or legal representatives.

 

10.              
Waiver and Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed, or extended, and the terms and
conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by King and Water Now or, in the case of a waiver, by the
party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will operate
as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power, or privilege hereunder, nor any single
or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power, or privilege hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Water Now may amend this Agreement
in writing in any manner so that payments or benefits hereunder comply with or continue to be exempt from Section 409A of Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), including, but not limited to, (a) adding a requirement that
no payment or benefits due on account of King’s Separation From Service, as defined in Section 409A, shall be paid during
the six-month period commencing on King’s date of termination and (b) making payment of any amounts due to King hereunder
such that any such payment is exempt from Section 409A (including making payment as soon as administratively practicable, within
the meaning of Section 409A, for such purpose)

 

11.              
Applicable Law, Forum, and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed and construed exclusively in accordance with the
laws of the State of Texas without regard to the conflicts of laws or principles thereof. The parties agree that Texas shall be
the forum for any action or suit related to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim affecting its validity, construction,
effect, performance or termination. The parties further agree that the venue for any such action or suit which is not required
to be arbitrated under this Agreement shall exclusively be the state or federal courts sitting in Tarrant County, Texas. King expressly,
knowingly, and voluntarily agrees to and ratifies these choice of law, forum, and venue provisions.

 

12.              
Headings. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

 

13.              
Severability and Construction. If any provision of the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable,
the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be impaired thereby. The language in this
Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply and in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either
party.

 

14.

written or oral, all of which are void. Past practice and course of dealings between the parties shall not be used to amend the
terms of this Agreement. All amendments or modifications, including oral modification supported by new consideration, must be reduced

not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that
is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual
who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to
the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document
containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

 

18.              
Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE ARBITRATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

 

19.              
Arbitration. 

 

a.                  
All Workplace Claims which arise between King and Water Now shall be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator
under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. KING AND WATER NOW ARE BOTH REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN MANDATORY, BINDING
ARBITRATION AS THEIR SOLE REMEDY, AND BOTH WILL GIVE UP THEIR RIGHT OF A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY LEGAL CLAIM THAT EITHER MAY HAVE
AGAINST THE OTHER—EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY

    	8 

    	 

    

PROVIDED HEREIN. The parties
agree that Water Now’s business involves interstate commerce. The parties disclaim application of state arbitration law and
desire this Section be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and ask that: (a) this Section be read to the greatest extent possible
in favor of arbitration; and (b) that the agreement be reformed if necessary to the greatest extent possible provide for arbitration.
The parties agree that this Section does not excuse a party from complying with and exhausting any administrative remedy or process
through the EEOC or equivalent state agency. The parties desire to arbitrate Workplace Claims on an individual basis and expressly
waive any right to arbitrate as part of a class representative, class member or in a collective action, and there shall be no joinder
or consolidation of parties. The parties agree that Water Now may amend the terms of this Section upon 15 days’ notice to
King and that any dispute which King notifies Water Now of within 15 days of such notice shall not be subject to such amendment.
The parties further agree that the selected arbitrator shall have full authority to determine: (a) the enforceability and validity
of this Section and this Agreement (including, but not limited to, whether the agreement to arbitrate fails for lack of consideration,
whether the agreement is subject to a state law defense, whether an oral agreement affects the validity of this agreement to arbitrate,
and whether a valid agreement to arbitrate was formed between the parties); (b) whether a particular claim or controversy between
the parties is a Workplace Claim covered by this Section; and (c) procedural questions concerning whether a claim should go forward
in arbitration, including, but not limited to, compliance with notice, time limits, and other prerequisites.
