than an Interest Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity) will, as provided in
the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at
the close of business on the Regular Record Date as specified above next

mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall

such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated
in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date for payment by the
Person entitled thereto.

                             (Reverse Side of Note)

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior notes of the
Company issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of
November 9, 2001 (the "Original Indenture"), as supplemented by the Eighth
Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 3, 2004 (the "Eighth Supplemental
Indenture") and as further supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture
dated as of July 23, 2004 (the "Tenth Supplemental Indenture" and, together with
the Original Indenture and the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the "Indenture"),
between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as
successor to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (the "Trustee," which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures incidental 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 issued
thereunder and of the terms upon which said Senior Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is one of the series designated on
the face hereof as 6.375% Senior Notes due June 15, 2034 (the "Senior Notes"),
limited in aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000; provided, however, that
the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes may be increased in the
future, without the consent of the holders of the Senior Notes, subject to the
conditions set forth in the Indenture and with the same CUSIP numbers and ISINs
as the Senior Notes. Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is
provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

         This Note is exchangeable in whole or from time to time in part for
Senior Notes of this series in definitive registered form only as provided
herein and in the Indenture. If (i) at any time the Depositary notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Note
or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good
standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, and the Company does not appoint a successor
Depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such condition, as the case may be, or (ii) the Company in its sole
discretion determines that this Note shall be exchangeable for Senior Notes of
this series in definitive registered form and executes and delivers to the
Security Registrar a written order of the Company providing that this Note shall
be so exchangeable, this Note shall be exchangeable for Senior Notes of this
series in definitive registered form, provided that the definitive Senior Notes
so issued in exchange for this Note shall be in denominations of $2,000 and any
whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, without coupons, and be of like
aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of this Note to be
exchanged. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Note
will not be entitled to have Senior Notes registered in their names, will not
receive or be entitled to physical delivery of Senior Notes in definitive
registered form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose
under the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the
Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in this Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

         If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes shall occur and
be continuing, the principal of the Senior Notes may be declared due and payable
in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions 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 Senior Notes under the Indenture at
any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at the
time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders
of specified percentages in principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Senior Notes, 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 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and
upon all future holders of this Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

         The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company pursuant to this Note and (b) restrictive
covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with
certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

         The Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in
whole at any time or in part from time to time (a "Redemption Date"), at a
redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the greater of (i) 100% of
the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed and (ii) an amount equal
to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments for
principal of and interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed, not including any
portion of the payments of interest accrued as of such Redemption Date,
discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis
points; plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes to be
redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

         "Treasury Rate" means the rate per year 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 such Redemption
Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding
the Redemption Date.

         "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to
the remaining term of the Senior Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at
the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Senior Notes.

         "Independent Investment Banker" means any of Banc of America Securities
LLC and any successor firm or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the
Comparable Treasury Issue, an

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the
Trustee after consultation with the Company.

         "Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any Redemption Date
for the Senior Notes (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than
five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Banc of America Securities
LLC and four other primary U.S. government securities dealers (each a "Primary
Treasury Dealer"), as specified by the Company; provided that (1) if any of Banc
of America Securities LLC or any Primary Treasury Dealer as specified by the
Company shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute
therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) if the Company fails to select
a substitute within a reasonable period of time, then the substitute will be a
Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the
Company.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to the
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by
the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

         Notwithstanding Section 3.02 of the Original Indenture, the notice of
redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the
Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.

otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

     (b) Notwithstanding Section 3.02 of the Original Indenture, the notice of redemption with

Initially, such publication shall be made in The City of New York in The Wall Street Journal, in
London in the Financial Times and in Ireland in the Irish Times. If publication in Dublin, Ireland
is not practical, the Trustee will publish notices in an English language newspaper of general
circulation elsewhere in Europe. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of
publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first publication. If publication
as described above becomes impossible, the Trustee may publish sufficient notice by alternative
means that approximate the terms and conditions described in this Section 1.09.

ARTICLE II

MATTERS RELATING TO SECURITIES DENOMINATED IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY

SECTION 2.01. Currency Indemnity.

     The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law,
that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum
due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if
any, in respect of, the 2024 Senior Notes (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in
which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used
shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase
in The City of New York the requisite amount of the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on
the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which a final unappealable judgment is given and (b)
its obligations under the Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be
satisfied or discharged by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not
entered in accordance with clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to
the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the
full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii)
shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering
in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the
full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by
judgment being obtained for any other sum due under the Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing,
“New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The
City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or
obligated by law, regulation or executive order to be closed.

SECTION 2.02. Satisfaction and Discharge.

     Whenever a payment, deposit or transfer is required to be made under the Indenture in respect
of the 2024 Senior Notes, the Company’s obligation to make such payment, deposit or transfer shall
not be satisfied or discharged unless and until such payment, deposit or transfer

6

 

shall be made in the Foreign Currency in which the 2024 Senior Notes are then payable
including, without limitation, principal (whether at the Stated Maturity of the 2024 Senior Notes,
upon redemption or otherwise) of, premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any,
in respect of any 2024 Senior Note.

SECTION 2.03. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

     (a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.02 of this Eleventh Supplemental Indenture,
but subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 2.03, all deposits, if any, of
money made under Articles XI (Satisfaction and Discharge) and XIII (Defeasance and Covenant
Defeasance) of the Original Indenture shall be made by the Company in the Foreign Currency in which
the 2024 Senior Notes are then payable.

     (b) If, after a deposit referred to in Section 13.04(1) of the Original Indenture has been
made in respect of 2024 Senior Notes, a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency
in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.04(1) has been made, the indebtedness represented by
such 2024 Senior Notes shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully satisfied and discharged
through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on, and
Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities as the same becomes due out of the
proceeds yielded by converting the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Securities

Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for such Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly
as feasible) at the time of such Conversion Event.

shall mean securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America or the other
government or governments or confederation or association of governments which issued the Foreign

governments are pledged or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as
an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America or such other government or
governments or confederation or association of governments, in each case the timely payment or

United States of America or such other government or governments or confederation or association of
governments, and which, in the case of (i) or (ii), are not callable or redeemable at the option of
the issuer or issuers thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank (as
defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as custodian with respect to
any such Governmental Obligation or a specific payment of principal of, or interest on, or other

holder of a depository receipt; provided, however, that (except as required by law) such custodian
is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository
receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the
Governmental Obligation or the
specific payment of principal of, or interest on or other amount with
respect to the Governmental
Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Note shall be computed and paid on an
Actual/Actual (ISMA) day fraction basis. Actual/Actual (ISMA) means that interest on this Note

if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the
date the payment was originally payable. The term “Business Day” means any day, other than
a day on which federal or state banking institutions in London or the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, are authorized or obligated by law, executive order or regulation to close.

the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address

a banking institution in the United Kingdom as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least
15 days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

     The Senior Notes (as defined herein) will be unsecured obligations of the Company and will
rank equally in right of payment with all of the other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of
the Company from time to time outstanding. The Senior Notes will rank senior to any subordinated
indebtedness of the Company.

     REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS 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.

(Reverse Side of Note)

     1. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of senior notes of the Company issued and
issuable in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of November 9, 2001 (the “Original
Indenture”), as supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 9,
2004 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture”) and, together with the Original Indenture, the
“Indenture”), between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as
successor to Bank One Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures incidental
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
issued thereunder and of the terms upon which said Senior Notes are, and are to be, authenticated
and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof as 5.375% Senior Notes
due December 9, 2024 (the “Senior Notes”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount
of £350,000,000; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes may be
increased in the future, without the consent of the holders of the Senior Notes, on the same terms
and with the same ISIN number and Common Code as the Senior Notes. Capitalized terms used herein
for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

     2. This Note is exchangeable in whole or from time to time in part for Senior Notes of this
series in definitive registered form only as provided herein and in the Indenture. If (i) at any
time the Common Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Common Depositary for this Note, and the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90
days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be,
or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Note shall be exchangeable for
Senior Notes of this series in definitive registered form and executes and delivers to the Security
Registrar a written order of the Company providing that this Note shall be so exchangeable, this
Note shall be exchangeable for Senior Notes of this series in definitive registered form, provided
that the definitive Senior Notes so issued in exchange for this Note shall be in denominations of
£50,000 and any whole multiples of £1,000 in excess of £50,000, without coupons, and be of like
aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of this Note to be exchanged. Except as
provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Note will not be entitled to have Senior
Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to physical delivery of Senior
Notes in definitive registered form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose
under the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the Security Registrar
shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of records relating to or payments made
on account of beneficial ownership interests in this Note, or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

     3. If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Senior Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and
subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     4. 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

A-5

 

rights of the holders of the Senior Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and
the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Senior Notes, 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 Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     5. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness
of the Company pursuant to this Note and (b) restrictive covenants and the related Events of
Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions
apply to this Note.

     6. (a) The Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole at any time
or in part from time to time (a “Redemption Date”), at a redemption price (the
“Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior
Notes to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Calculation Agent, the price at which the yield
on the Outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes on the Reference Date is equal to the yield
on the Benchmark Gilt as of that date as determined by reference to the middle-market price on the
Benchmark Gilt at 3:00 p.m., London time, on that date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

     “Benchmark Gilt” means the 5% Treasury Stock due March 7, 2025 or such other U.K.
government stock as the Calculation Agent, with the advice of three brokers and/or U.K. gilt-edged
market makers or three other persons operating in the U.K. gilt-edged market that may be chosen by
the Calculation Agent, may determine from time to time to be the most appropriate benchmark U.K.
government stock for the Senior Notes.

     “Calculation Agent” means J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, or any
successor entity.

     “Reference Date” means the date that is the first dealing day in London prior to the
publication of the notice of redemption referred to in Section 6(b) below.

     (b) Not less than 30 days but not more than 90 days before the Redemption Date, notice of any
redemption will be mailed to each holder of the Senior Notes to be redeemed and published as
provided in Section 12 hereof.

     (c) If less than all the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding are to be redeemed, the Trustee
will select the Senior Notes or portions of Senior Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the
rules and requirements of the Irish Stock Exchange or the principal securities exchange, if any, on
which the Senior Notes are listed, or, if the Senior Notes are not so listed or that exchange
prescribes no method of selection, by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. If
this Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to this

A-6

 

Note will state the portion of the principal amount hereof to be redeemed. A new Senior Note
in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued and delivered to the
Trustee, or its nominee, upon cancellation of this Note. The Trustee may select for redemption
Senior Notes and portions of Senior Notes in amounts of £50,000 and whole multiples of £1,000 in
excess of £50,000.

     (d) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price of the Senior Notes, on and
after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on this Note or the portion hereof called
for redemption.

     (e) On or before the opening of business on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the U.S. Paying Agent (as defined herein), the London Paying Agent (as
defined herein) or the Irish Paying Agent (as defined herein) or, if the Company is acting as its
own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in the Original Indenture, an amount of
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and except if the Redemption Date shall be an
Interest Payment Date, accrued but unpaid interest on, the Senior Notes to be redeemed on the
Redemption Date.

     7. (a) The Company shall pay to the beneficial owner of this Note who is a Non-U.S. Person (as
defined below) such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment of principal
of and interest on this Note to such beneficial owner, after deduction or withholding for or on
account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon such
beneficial owner by the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, will
not be less than the amount provided in this Note to be then due and payable (such amounts, the
“Additional Amounts”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

     (i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed
but for (A) the existence of any present or former connection between such beneficial owner,
or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a
power over, such beneficial owner, if such beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership
or corporation, and the United States including, without limitation, such beneficial owner,
or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having
been a citizen or resident of the United States of America or treated as a resident thereof
or being or having been engaged in trade or business or present in the United States of
America, or (B) the presentation of this Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after
the later of (x) the date on which such payment becomes due and payable and (y) the date on
which payment thereof is duly provided for;

     (ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or
similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

     (iii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such
beneficial owner’s past or present status as a passive foreign investment company, a
controlled foreign corporation, a personal holding company or foreign personal holding
company with respect to the United States of America, or as a corporation which accumulates
earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

A-7

 

     (iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by
withholding from payment of principal of or interest on this Note;

     (v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any
paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on this Note if that payment can be
made without withholding by any other paying agent;

     (vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed
but for the failure to comply with certification, information, documentation or other
reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with
the United States of America of the beneficial owner or any holder of this Note, if such
compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the U.S. Treasury Department as a
precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

     (vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on interest received by
(A) a 10% shareholder (as defined in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations that may be promulgated
thereunder) of the Company or (B) a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the
Company within the meaning of the Code;

     (viii) any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and is
required to be made pursuant to that European Union Directive relating to the taxation of
savings adopted on June 3, 2003 by the European Union’s Economic and Financial Affairs
Council, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to,
such Directive; or

     (ix) any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) in
this Section 7(a);

nor shall any Additional Amounts be paid to any beneficial owner or holder of this Note who is a
fiduciary or partnership to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to that
fiduciary, or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner thereof would not have been
entitled to the payment of those Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or
beneficial owner been the beneficial owner of this Note.

     “Non-U.S. Person” means any corporation, partnership, individual or fiduciary that is,
as to the United States of America, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual who has
not made a valid election to be treated as a United States resident, a non-resident fiduciary of a
foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, as to the
United States of America, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident
fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

     (b) The Senior Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part,
on a date (such date, the “Tax Redemption Date”) to be fixed by the Company upon at least
30 days, but not more than 90 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Senior Notes (the “Tax Redemption Price”) plus accrued but unpaid interest,
if any, thereon, if the Company determines that as a result of any change in or amendment

A-8

 

to the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of the United States of America or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof, or any proposed change in such laws, treaties, regulations
or rulings, or any change in the official application, enforcement or interpretation of such laws,
treaties, regulations or rulings, including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the
United States of America, or any other action (except for an action predicated on law generally
known on or before December 1, 2004 but excluding proposals before the U.S. Congress before such
date) taken by any taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of
America, or the official proposal of any such action, whether or not such action or proposal was
taken or made with respect to the Company, (1) the Company has or will become obligated to pay
Additional Amounts or (2) there is a substantial possibility that the Company will be required to
pay such Additional Amounts.

     Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee (1) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is
entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the
conditions precedent to the rights of the Company to so redeem have occurred and (2) an Opinion of
Counsel (who shall not be an employee of the Company) to such effect based on such statement of
facts.

     If the Company elects to redeem the Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 7(b), then it shall
give notice to the holders pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

     On or before the opening of business on any Tax Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the U.S. Paying Agent, London Paying Agent or the Irish Paying Agent or,
if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in the
Original Indenture, an amount of money sufficient to pay the Tax Redemption Price of, and except if
such Tax Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, accrued but unpaid interest on, the
Senior Notes to be redeemed on such Tax Redemption Date.

     The notice of redemption having been given as specified above, the Senior Notes shall, on the
Tax Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Tax Redemption Price, and from and after such
date, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Tax Redemption Price and accrued but
unpaid interest, if any, the Senior Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of the
Senior Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, the Notes shall be paid by the Company
at the Tax Redemption Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the Tax
Redemption Date.

     8. If, prior to the maturity of the Senior Notes, the United Kingdom adopts the euro as its
lawful currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Communities, as amended
from time to time, the Senior Notes will be re-denominated into euro, and the regulations of the
European Commission relating to the euro shall apply to the Senior Notes.

     9. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

A-9

 

     10. (a) As provided herein and in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and
therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer or exchange either at the office or agency to
be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York or in London or, so long as the Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, in
Dublin, Ireland, or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by
the Company for such purpose pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security
Registrar and duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Senior Notes, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and for the
same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge shall be made for any such exchange or registration of transfer, but the Company
will require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

     (b) Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name
this Note is registered as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not the Senior Notes shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Security Registrar), for the purpose of receiving payments hereon, or on account
hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments made
to or upon the order of such holder shall, to the extent of the amount or amounts paid, effectually
satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note.

     (c) The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of
£50,000 and whole multiples of £1,000 in excess of £50,000. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by
the holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Senior Note or Senior Notes to be exchanged
at the office or agency of the Company.

     (d) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 10, any registration of transfer
or exchange of a Global Note shall be subject to the terms of the legend appearing on the initial
page thereof.

     11. J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association is hereby appointed the registrar for the
purpose of registering the Senior Notes and transfers and exchanges of the Senior Notes pursuant to
the Indenture and this Note (the “Security Registrar”), paying agent pursuant to Section
4.03 of the Original Indenture (the “U.S. Paying Agent”) and transfer agent (the “U.S.
Transfer Agent”) with respect to the Senior Notes in the United States at its offices in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

     JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London branch is hereby appointed paying agent pursuant to Section
4.03 of the Original Indenture (the “London Paying Agent”) and transfer agent (the
“London Transfer Agent”) with respect to the Senior Notes in the United Kingdom at its

     J.P. Morgan Bank (Ireland) plc has been appointed, in connection with the listing of the
Senior Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange, the paying agent pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Original
Indenture (the “Irish Paying Agent”), and the transfer agent (the “Irish Transfer
Agent”) with respect to the Senior Notes in Ireland.

     If for any reason J.P. Morgan Bank (Ireland) plc shall not continue as Irish Paying Agent or
Irish Transfer Agent and the Senior Notes remain listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Company
shall appoint a substitute Irish Paying Agent or Irish Transfer Agent, as the case may be, with an
office in Ireland, in accordance with the rules then in effect of the Irish Stock Exchange and the
provisions of the Indenture, including Section 2.05 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, and the
Senior Notes. Following the appointment of the substitute Irish Paying Agent or Irish Transfer
Agent, as the case may be, the Company shall give the holders of the Senior Notes notice of such
appointment pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

     12. If the Company is required to give notice to the holders of the Senior Notes pursuant to
the terms of the Indenture, then it shall do so by the means and in the manner set forth in the
Original Indenture.

     In addition, the Trustee shall publish notices regarding the Senior Notes in a daily newspaper
of general circulation in The City of New York and in London and, for so long as the Senior Notes
are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange require notice by
publication, in a daily newspaper of general circulation in Dublin, Ireland. Initially, such
publication shall be made in The City of New York in The Wall Street Journal, in London in the
Financial Times and in Ireland in the Irish Times. If publication in Dublin, Ireland is not
practical, the Trustee will publish notices in an English language newspaper of general circulation
elsewhere in Europe. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of publication
or, if published more than once, on the date of the first publication. If publication as described
above becomes impossible, the Trustee may publish sufficient notice by alternative means that
approximate the terms and conditions described in this Section 12.

     13. No recourse shall be had for payment of the principal of or interest on this Note, or for
any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture,
against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of
the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof,
expressly waived and released.

     14. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

     15. This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the
State of New York.
