SECTION 104.    Denominations. The 5.000% Senior Notes may be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
SECTION 105.    Global Securities. The 5.000% Senior Notes will be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which shall be DTC) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, 5.000% Senior Notes represented by such Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, 5.000% Senior Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee.
Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global Security representing a 5.000% Senior Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee or except as described below. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary.  For the avoidance of doubt, where this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture or the 5.000% Senior Notes provide for notice of any event or any other communication to a Holder, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary (or its designee), including by electronic mail in accordance with accepted practices at the Depositary.
A Global Security shall be exchangeable for 5.000% Senior Notes registered in the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days after it becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for 5.000% Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.
SECTION 106.    Optional Redemption. At any time prior to the Par Call Date, the 5.000% Senior Notes are redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice transmitted to the registered address of each Holder of the 5.000% Senior Notes at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 5.000% Senior Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on such 5.000% Senior Notes calculated as if such 5.000% Senior Notes matured on the Par Call Date, exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and discounted to the Redemption Date, on 

6

a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points. Accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
At any time on or after the Par Call Date, the 5.000% Senior Notes are redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice transmitted to the registered address of each Holder of the 5.000% Senior Notes at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.000% Senior Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
On and after a Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the 5.000% Senior Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before a Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or the Trustee money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the 5.000% Senior Notes to be redeemed on that date. If less than all of the 5.000% Senior Notes are to be redeemed, the 5.000% Senior Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by DTC in accordance with its then applicable procedures.
This Section 106 has been included in this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture expressly and solely for the benefit of the 5.000% Senior Notes.
SECTION 107.    Sinking Fund. The 5.000% Senior Notes shall not have a sinking fund.
SECTION 108.    Additional Interest. Any principal of and installment of interest on the 5.000% Senior Notes that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 5.000% (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.
SECTION 109.    Paying Agent. The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent with respect to the 5.000% Senior Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
SECTION 110.    Limitation on Liens. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries may not issue, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a mortgage, pledge, lien or other encumbrance, directly or indirectly, upon any shares of the Voting Stock of a Material Subsidiary which shares are owned by the Company or its Material Subsidiaries without effectively providing that the 5.000% Senior Notes (and if the Company so elects, any other indebtedness of the Company ranking on a parity with the 5.000% Senior Notes) shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, any such secured indebtedness so long as such indebtedness remains outstanding. This Section 110 shall not apply to:

7

(i)    liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not then due and delinquent or the validity of which is being contested in good faith or which are less than $1,000,000 in amount and liens created by or resulting from any litigation or legal proceeding which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or which involves claims of less than $1,000,000, or 
(ii)    any mortgage, pledge, lien or other encumbrance upon any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Material Subsidiary and any extensions, renewals or replacements thereof.
(iii)    This Section 110 has been included in this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture expressly and solely for the benefit of the 5.000% Senior Notes and shall be subject to covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 402(3) of the Original Indenture.

8

requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a ‘Notice of Default’ hereunder; or
(4)    (a) the failure of the Company to make any payment by the end of any applicable grace period after maturity of indebtedness, which term as used in this Section 501 means obligations (other than nonrecourse obligations) of the Company for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $100,000,000 (“Indebtedness”) and continuance of such failure, or (b) the acceleration of Indebtedness because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in each case, for a period of 10 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding 5.000% Senior Notes; however, if any such failure or acceleration referred to in (a) or (b) above ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred; or
(5)    the Company pursuant to or under or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(a)    commences a voluntary case or proceeding;
(b)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding or the commencement of any case against it;

(b)    appoints a Custodian of the Company or for any substantial part of its property; or

(2)    The second paragraph shall be amended by deleting the period at the end and replacing it with “; and” and by adding the following clause immediately after clause (2): “(3) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.”
SECTION 112.    Defeasance.

In the case of a defeasance (but not of a covenant defeasance), the opinion must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax laws.

Markel Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Virginia (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [Cede & Co.], or registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of____________ Dollars ($____________) on May 20, 2049 and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on May 20 and November 20 of each year, commencing on November 20, 2019, at the rate of 5.000% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, provided that any principal, 

and any such installment of interest, that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 5.000% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 5.000% Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that with respect to 5.000% Senior Notes that are not represented by one or more Global Securities, the Regular Record Date shall be the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this 5.000% Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of 5.000% Senior Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the 5.000% Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payments of interest on the 5.000% Senior Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the 5.000% Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the 5.000% Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.
Payment of the principal of and interest on this 5.000% Senior Note will be made at the office of the Paying Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, 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, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any 5.000% Senior Note being made upon surrender of such 5.000% Senior Note to such office or agency; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest, subject to such surrender where applicable, may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this 5.000% 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 5.000% Senior Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF 5.000% SENIOR NOTE
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 June 5, 2001, as heretofore supplemented and amended and as further supplemented by a Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 20, 2019 (collectively, as amended or supplemented from time to time, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), 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 and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (the “5.000% Senior Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount.
If an Event of Default with respect to 5.000% Senior Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the 5.000% Senior Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
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 each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, 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 5.000% Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this 5.000% Senior Note and of any 5.000% Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this 5.000% Senior Note.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this 5.000% Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding 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 5.000% Senior Notes, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the 5.000% Senior Notes 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, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes 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 5.000% Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this 5.000% Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this 5.000% Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this 5.000% Senior Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this 5.000% Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this 5.000% Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new 5.000% Senior Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The 5.000% Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 5.000% Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes having the same Stated Maturity and of like tenor of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder upon surrender of the 5.000% Senior Note or 5.000% Senior Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this 5.000% 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 Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this 5.000% Senior Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The 5.000% Senior Notes are redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
All terms used in this 5.000% Senior Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Adjustments
to the Underlier

If
at any time the method of calculating the Underlier or a Successor Underlier, or the closing level thereof, is changed in a material
respect, or if the Underlier or a Successor Underlier is in any other way modified so that such underlier does not, in the opinion
of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of such underlier had those changes or modifications not been made, then
the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New

    	 	3	 

    	 

    

York,
on each date that the closing level of such underlier is to be calculated, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good
faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of an underlier comparable to the Underlier
or Successor Underlier as if those changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the closing
level of the Underlier or Successor Underlier with reference to such underlier, as so adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of
calculating the Underlier or Successor Underlier is modified so that the level of such underlier is a fraction or a multiple of
what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split or reverse split in such equity underlier), then the
Calculation Agent will adjust the Underlier or Successor Underlier in order to arrive at a level of such underlier as if it had
not been modified (e.g., as if the split or reverse split had not occurred).

Discontinuance
of the Underlier

If
the Underlier Sponsor discontinues publication of the Underlier, and the Underlier Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor
or substitute equity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Underlier (a
“Successor Underlier”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the
Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Underlier as calculated by the relevant Underlier
Sponsor or any other entity and calculate the Final Underlier Level as described above. Upon any selection by the Calculation
Agent of a Successor Underlier, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security.

In
the event that the Underlier Sponsor discontinues publication of the Underlier prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing
on, the Determination Date and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Underlier is available at such time, the Calculation
Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level for the Underlier in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating
the Underlier last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised the Underlier immediately
prior to that discontinuance. If a Successor Underlier is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a level as a substitute
for the Underlier, the Successor Underlier or level will be used as a substitute for the Underlier for all purposes, including
the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists.

If
on the Determination Date the Underlier Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of the Underlier, the Calculation Agent
will calculate a substitute Closing Level of the Underlier in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Underlier
last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised the Underlier immediately prior to that failure;
provided that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day, then the provisions set forth below under
“Market Disruption Events” shall apply in lieu of the foregoing.

    	 	4	 

    	 

    

Market
Disruption Events 

A
“Market Disruption Event” means any of the following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole
discretion:

 

		(A)	The

                                         trading session.

For
purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

		(1)	the
                                         relevant percentage contribution of a security to the level of the Underlier or any Successor
                                         Underlier will be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of such
                                         underlier attributable to that security and (y) the overall level of the Underlier
                                         or Successor Underlier, in each case immediately before the occurrence of the Market
                                         Disruption Event;

		(2)	the
                                         “Close of Trading” on any Trading Day for the Underlier or any Successor
                                         Underlier means the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect
                                         to the securities underlying the Underlier or Successor Underlier on such Trading Day;
                                         provided that, if the actual closing time of the regular trading session of any
                                         such Relevant Stock Exchange is earlier than its Scheduled Closing Time on such Trading
                                         Day, then (x) for purposes of clauses (A) and (C) of the definition of “Market
                                         Disruption Event” above, with respect to any security underlying the Underlier
                                         or Successor Underlier for which such Relevant Stock Exchange is its Relevant Stock Exchange,
                                         the “Close of Trading” means such actual closing time and (y) for purposes
                                         of clauses (B) and (D) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event” above,
                                         with respect to any futures or options contract relating to the Underlier or Successor
                                         Underlier, the “close of trading” means the latest actual closing time of
                                         the regular trading session of any of the Relevant Stock Exchanges, but in no event later
                                         than the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchanges;

		(3)	the
                                         “Scheduled Closing Time” of any Relevant Stock Exchange or Related
                                         Futures or Options Exchange on any Trading Day for the Underlier or any Successor Underlier
                                         means the scheduled weekday closing time of such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures
                                         or Options Exchange on such Trading Day, without regard to after hours or any other trading
                                         outside the regular trading session hours; and

		(4)	an
                                         “Exchange Business Day” means any Trading Day for the Underlier or
                                         any Successor Underlier on which each Relevant Stock Exchange for the securities underlying
                                         the Underlier or any Successor Underlier and each Related Futures or Options Exchange
                                         are open for trading during their respective regular trading sessions, notwithstanding
                                         any such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange closing prior
                                         to its Scheduled Closing Time.

If
a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the Determination Date, then the Determination Date will be postponed to
the first succeeding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first
succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day after the originally scheduled Determination Date, that eighth
Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Determination Date. If

    	 	6	 

    	 

    

the
Determination Date has been postponed eight Trading Days after the originally scheduled Determination Date and a Market Disruption
Event occurs or is continuing on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Underlier
on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of the Underlier last
in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any relevant security,
if a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to such security, its good faith estimate of the value of such security
at the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the
regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange) on such date of each security included in the Underlier. As used herein,
“closing price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the Relevant Stock Exchange traded or quoted price
of such security as of the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual
closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange.

Calculation
Agent

The
Calculation Agent will determine the Cash Settlement Amount and the Final Underlier Level. In addition, the Calculation Agent
will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Closing Level of the Underlier under the circumstances described in this
Security, (ii) if publication of the Underlier is discontinued, select a Successor Underlier or, if no Successor Underlier is
available, determine the Closing Level of the Underlier under the circumstances described in this Security, and (iii) determine
whether a Market Disruption Event or non-Trading Day has occurred.

The
Company covenants that, so long as this Security is Outstanding, there shall at all times be a Calculation Agent (which shall
be a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) with respect to this Security.

All
determinations made by the Calculation Agent with respect to this Security will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent
and, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holder of this Security.

Tax
Considerations

The
Company agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in this Security each Holder of this Security will be deemed
to have agreed (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary), for United States
federal income tax purposes to characterize and treat this Security as a prepaid derivative contract that is an “open transaction.”

Redemption
and Repayment

This
Security is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to January
22, 2021. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund.

Acceleration

If
an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to this Security shall occur and be continuing, the Cash Settlement
Amount (calculated as set forth in the next sentence) of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture
will be equal to the Cash Settlement Amount hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the Determination
Date.

(the “Guarantor”) and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes
any successor trustee under 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 Guarantor,
the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Security is one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series A, of the Company.
The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-,

at a fixed rate or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may mature at different times, be redeemable at different times
or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or not at all and be denominated in different currencies.
