 OTHER TERMS: 
 All terms used in this Security that
are not defined in this Security but are defined in the Indenture referred to on the reverse of this Security shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. Section headings on the face of this Security are for convenience only and shall
not affect the construction of this Security. 
 “Business Day” means any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
that is not a day on which banking institutions in London or New York City generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. 
 “Closing Indicative Value” shall be calculated in the following manner: (i) the Closing Indicative Value on the Inception Date shall equal $50; and (ii) on each subsequent calendar day,
until and including the Final Valuation Date or, in the case of Securities with respect to which the Holder has exercised its right of Early Redemption, the applicable Valuation Date, the Closing Indicative Value shall equal the Closing Indicative
Value on the immediately preceding calendar day (or the Ex Coupon Indicative Value if such day was an Index Roll Date) 

  

 (Face of Security continued on next page) 
 –3– 

 
times the Daily Index Factor on such calendar day (or, if such day is not an Index Business Day, one) minus the Investor Fee on such calendar
day. 
 “Coupon Ex Date” means, for each month, the Business Day immediately following the Index Roll Date for such month.

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

 (Face of Security continued on next page)

 “Ex Coupon Indicative Value” means, on any Index Roll Date, an amount equal to the
Closing Indicative Value on such date minus the amount of the Interest Payment per Security that will be paid on the Coupon Payment Date immediately following such date. 
 “Final Valuation Date” means Thursday, January 28, 2038, or if such date is not a Trading Day, the next succeeding Trading Day,
provided that in no event will the Final Valuation Date be postponed by more than five Trading Days.

following day that is a Business Day in all of the Relevant Cities and on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System is open, in each case as determined by Barclays Capital. 
 “Investor Fee” means the amount equal to 0.89% per year times the Closing Indicative Value times the Daily Index
Factor, calculated on a daily basis in the following manner: (i) the Investor Fee on the Inception Date shall equal zero; and (ii) on each subsequent calendar day until and including the Final Valuation Date or, in the case of Securities
with respect to which the Holder has exercised its right of Early Redemption, the applicable Valuation Date, the Investor Fee will increase by an amount equal to 0.89% times the Closing Indicative Value on the immediately preceding calendar
day (or the Ex Coupon Indicative Value if such day was an Index Roll Date) times the Daily Index Factor on that day (or, if such day is not an Index Business Day, one) divided by 365. 
 “Maturity Date” means February 4, 2038, provided that if such date is not a Business Day, the Maturity Date will be the next
succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the fifth Business Day preceding February 4, 2038 does not qualify as the Final Valuation Date referred to above, then the Maturity Date will be the fifth Business Day following the
Final Valuation Date.

Roll Date for the current month divided by (ii) the Ex Coupon Indicative Value on the Index Roll Date for the immediately preceding month.

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

  

 (Face of Security continued on next page) 
 –6– 

 
Maturity” and elsewhere on the face of this Security on the Maturity Date, in the case of all other Securities. 
 2. Payment of Interest 
 On each
Coupon Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, the Holder shall receive an Interest Payment to reflect the implied interest earned, net of fees, on such Holder’s Securities from and excluding the Index Roll Date for the
immediately preceding month to and including the Index Roll Date for the current month. The amount of the Interest Payment on any Coupon Payment Date shall equal the Ex Coupon Indicative Value on the Index Roll Date for the immediately preceding
month times the difference between (i) the Monthly IV Return and (ii) the Monthly Spot Return. 
 For the purpose of
calculating the first Interest Payment, the Index Roll Date for the immediately preceding month shall be deemed to be the Inception Date, and the Ex Coupon Indicative Value on such date shall be deemed to be equal to the Closing Indicative Value.

 3. Discontinuance or Modification of the Index 
 If Barclays Capital discontinues publication of the Index, and Barclays Capital or any other Person or entity publishes an index that the Calculation Agent determines is comparable to the Index and the Calculation
Agent approves such index as a Successor Index, then the Calculation Agent will determine the value of the Index on the applicable Valuation Date and the amount payable on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date and on each Coupon Payment Date by
reference to such Successor Index. 
 If the Calculation Agent determines that the publication of the Index is discontinued and that there is
no Successor Index, or that the closing value of the Index is not available for any reason, on the date on which the value of the Index is required to be determined, the Calculation Agent will determine the amount payable by a computation
methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index. 
 If the Calculation Agent
determines that the Index, the Index Constituent Currencies or the method of calculating the Index has been changed at any time in any respect, including any addition, deletion or substitution and any unscheduled reweighting or rebalancing of the
Index Constituent Currencies, and whether the change is made by Barclays Capital under its existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a Successor Index, is due to events affecting one or more of the
Index Constituent Currencies, or is due to any other reason, then the Calculation Agent will be permitted (but shall not be required) to make such adjustments to the Index or method of calculating the Index as it believes are appropriate to ensure
that the value of the Index used to determine the amount payable on the Maturity Date or upon Early Redemption or on any Coupon Payment Date is equitable. 
 The Calculation Agent shall have the right to make all determinations and adjustments with respect to the Index in its sole discretion. 
 4. Payment at Maturity or Upon Early Redemption 
  

 (Face of Security continued on next page) 
 –7– 

 The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date or on a Redemption Date,
as the case may be, shall be the cash amount that must be paid to redeem this Security as provided above under “Payment at Maturity” and “Early Redemption”, respectively. The payment of this Security that becomes due and payable
upon acceleration of the Maturity Date hereof after an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to the Indenture shall be the Default Amount. When the principal referred to in either of the two preceding sentences has been paid as provided herein (or
such payment has been made available), the principal of this Security shall be deemed to have been paid in full, whether or not this Security shall have been surrendered for payment or cancellation. References to the payment at maturity or upon
early redemption of this Security on any day shall be deemed to mean the payment of cash that is payable on such day as provided in this Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver,
notice or other action to be given or taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken by Holders of Outstanding Securities in the requisite aggregate principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will be
deemed to equal the Face Amount. This Security shall cease to be Outstanding as provided in the definition of such term in the Indenture when the principal of this Security shall be deemed to have been paid in full as provided above. 
 5. Redemption Mechanics 
 Subject to
the minimum redemption amount provided under “Early Redemption”, the Holder may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s Securities on any Redemption Date during the term of the Securities provided that such Holder
(i) delivers a notice of redemption to the Company via electronic mail by no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the applicable Valuation Date; (ii) delivers a signed confirmation of redemption to the
Company via facsimile by no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the same day; (iii) instructs the Holder’s DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the Holder’s Securities on the applicable
Valuation Date at a price equal to the Closing Indicative Value on the immediately preceding calendar day (or the Ex Coupon Indicative Value if such day was an Index Roll Date) times the Daily Index Factor on the applicable Valuation Date (or
if such day is not an Index Business Day, one) minus the Investor Fee on the applicable Valuation Date, facing Barclays Capital DTC 5101; and (iv) causes the Holder’s DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via
DTC prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the applicable Redemption Date, which shall be the third Business Day following the applicable Valuation Date (other than the Final Valuation Date). The final Redemption Date shall be the third Business
Day following such Valuation Date that is immediately prior to the Final Valuation Date. 
 6. Role of Calculation Agent

 The Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for all determinations and calculations regarding the value of the Securities, including
at maturity or upon early redemption; Interest Payments; Business Days; Trading Days; the Closing Indicative Value; the Daily Index Factor; the Investor Fee; the Default Amount; the closing value of the Index on the Inception Date, on any Valuation
Date and on any Index Roll Date; the Maturity Date; Redemption Dates; Valuation Dates; Index Roll Dates; Coupon Ex Dates; Coupon Payment Dates; the amount payable on the Securities and all such other matters as may be specified 

  

 (Face of Security continued on next page) 
 –8– 

 
elsewhere herein as matters to be determined by the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall make all such determinations and calculations in its sole
discretion, and absent manifest error, all determinations of the Calculation Agent shall be final and binding on the Company, the Holder and all other Persons having an interest in this Security, without liability on the part of the Calculation
Agent. 
 The Company shall take such action as shall be necessary to ensure that there is, at all relevant times, a financial institution
serving as the Calculation Agent hereunder. The Company may, in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, upon written notice to the Trustee, but without notice to the Holder of this Security, terminate the appointment of any Person
serving as the Calculation Agent and appoint another Person (including any Affiliate of the Company) to serve as the Calculation Agent. Insofar as this Security provides for the Calculation Agent to determine the value of the Index on any date or
other information from any institution or other source, the Calculation Agent may do so from any source or sources of the kind contemplated or otherwise permitted hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such sources are the Calculation Agent,
Affiliates of the Calculation Agent or Affiliates of the Company. 
 7. Payment 
 Payment of any amount payable on this Security will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. Payment will be made to an account designated by the Holder (in writing to the Company and the Trustee on or before the applicable Valuation Date) and acceptable to the Company or, if no such account
is designated and acceptable as aforesaid, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, provided, however, that payment on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date shall be made only
upon surrender of this Security at such office or agency (unless the Company waives surrender). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Security is a Global Security, any payment may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary as
permitted in said Indenture. 
 8. Reverse of this Security 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 9. Certificate of Authentication 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 10. Prospectus 
 Reference is made to the (i) the Prospectus related to the Securities, dated August 31, 2007, (ii) the Prospectus Supplement, dated
September 4, 2007, (iii) and the Pricing

Supplement, dated [                    ],
(together, the “Prospectus”). The terms and conditions of this Security as fully set forth in the Prospectus are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Security and binding upon the parties hereto. In the event
of a conflict between the terms of the Prospectus and the terms of this Security, the Prospectus will control and if the Prospectus provides for a specific United States tax characterization, by purchasing a Security, you agree (in the absence of a
change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary) to be bound for United States federal income tax purposes to such tax characterization. Copies of the Prospectus are available from the Company or any underwriter

 (Reverse of Security) 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of
September 16, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,”
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the Holders
of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth on the face of this Security, the latter shall
control for purposes of this Security. 
 This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited to an aggregate initial
offering price not to exceed $10,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units), which amount was increased to $21,000,000,000 on September 4, 2007 and may be further increased at the option of the
Company if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof. 
 Payments under the Securities will be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or
therein having the power to tax (each a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any such Taxes are at any time required by a Taxing Jurisdiction to be deducted or withheld, the Company
will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in Section 10.04 of the Indenture, pay such additional amounts of the principal of such Security and any other amounts payable on such Security (“Additional Amounts”) as
may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to the Holder of any Security, after such deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts of the principal of such Security and any other amounts payable on such Security which would have been
payable in respect of such Security had no such deduction or withholding been required. 
 If at any time the Company determines that as a result of a change
in or amendment to the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction (including any treaty to which such Taxing Jurisdiction is a party), or a change in an official application or interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a decision of
any court or tribunal), either generally or in relation to any particular Securities, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date in making any payment of, or in respect of, the
principal amount of the Securities, the Company would 

  

 (Reverse of Security continued on next page) 
 -12- 

 
be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, then the Securities will be redeemable upon not less than 35 nor more than 60 days’
notice by mail, at any time thereafter, in whole but not in part, at the election of the Company as provided in the Indenture at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each
series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (considered together as one
class for this purpose). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected under the Indenture (considered
together as one class for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As
provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request,
and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment
of principal hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
  

 (Reverse of Security continued on next page) 
 -13- 

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

	 	Re:	Bonus Stock Grant 

 Dear
                    : 
 Grant. I am
pleased to inform you that the Executive Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of BJ Services Company (the “Company”) has granted to you
             shares of Bonus Stock pursuant to the BJ Services Company              Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”). The terms defined in the Plan are used in this Agreement with the same meaning. 
 Each share of Bonus Stock represents the right to
receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock, as of the vesting dates specified below. The shares of Bonus Stock hereby granted to you are subject to vesting as described below. 
 No Rights as a Shareholder. Until actual shares of the Company’s Common Stock are issued to you, you will not possess any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Bonus Stock, including,
but not limited to, the right to vote shares or receive dividends. 
 Vesting Dates. Subject to the vesting restrictions and provisions described
below, one-quarter (1/4) of your Bonus Stock shares will become payable to you on each of March 31,             ; June 30,
            ; September 30,             ; and December 31,
             (each a “vesting date”). However, all shares of Bonus Stock will vest and be immediately due and payable to you in the event of a Change of Control. Payment in
shares will be made to you as soon as reasonably practicable following each vesting date. 
 Vesting. The Bonus Stock granted hereby shall only vest
on a particular vesting date, including following termination by reason of death, disability or retirement, if the Company shall have earnings per share for the fiscal quarter ending on such vesting date equal to or greater than 50% of the
Company’s earnings per share for the corresponding quarter in             . In the event that your employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or
retirement prior to the end of the applicable deferral period all Bonus Stock not yet then payable will be forfeited. If your employment is terminated due to death, disability or retirement, your Bonus Stock award will not be forfeited, but will
mature and become payable on each vesting date if the applicable performance target in the first sentence of this paragraph is met. In the event of your death, your Bonus Stock award, if vested, will be paid to the representative of your estate.

  

 Transferability. This award of Bonus Stock is not transferable by you and may not be pledged, assigned or
encumbered by you in any manner. However, in the event of your death, your Bonus Stock award may be transferred by your will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and your beneficiary will receive the Bonus Stock subject to the same
restrictions that are applicable to you. 
 Adjustment of Awards. In the event of a change in the capitalization of the Company due to a stock split,
stock dividend, re-capitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, or similar event, the terms of the Bonus Stock will be adjusted by the Committee to reflect the change. 
 Tax Gross Up. To the extent that the payment by the Company of unrestricted shares of Common Stock to or on behalf of you in satisfaction of “earned” Bonus Stock (the “Stock Benefit”)
constitutes taxable income to you (or, in the event of your death, your beneficiary) for federal and, where applicable, state income tax purposes, the Company shall make a tandem payment in cash to or on behalf of you (the “Tax Bonus”) in
an amount such that the “net” benefit received, after paying all applicable federal and state income taxes, as well as excise or other taxes (assuming, for this purpose, the highest marginal income tax rates for individuals applied) on the
Stock Benefit and this Tax Bonus, shall be equal to the Stock Benefit received before any such state or federal income, excise or other taxes thereon. The Tax Bonus shall be paid at the time that withholding is required with respect to the payment
of the earned Bonus Stock, to the extent payment is necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation thereon and on the portion of the Tax Bonus then paid, and the remainder of the Tax Bonus shall be paid at such time or times as the Company
determines to be appropriate, but not later than the April 15th following the calendar year in which Bonus Stock becomes taxable to you. The Company shall have the right to withhold from the Tax Bonus all tax amounts the Company is obligated
under any law to withhold with respect to the payment of the unrestricted shares of Common Stock and the payment of the Tax Bonus. 
 Amendment. The
Committee may amend this award and may waive, amend, or accelerate any requirement or condition to the payment of the award, but may not amend the award in a manner that would adversely affect your rights without your consent. 
 Awards Subject to Plan Terms. The terms of this Bonus Stock award are intended to be consistent with and subject to the terms of the Plan and shall be construed
accordingly. In the event of a conflict, the terms of the Plan shall control. By signing below, you agree that this award is governed by the terms of the Plan. 

 This grant shall be void and of no effect unless you execute and return this Agreement within ninety (90) days of
the above date. Please sign and date both copies of this document and return one copy to the Legal Department. The other copy is for your records. 
  

	
	 Very truly yours,
