TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.    Grant of Option.  Global Payments Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Optionee named on Page 1 hereof (“Optionee”), under the Global Payments Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), stock options to purchase from the Company (the “Options”), on the terms and on conditions set forth in this certificate (this “Certificate”), the number of shares indicated on Page 1 of the Company’s no par value common stock, at the exercise price per share set forth on Page 1.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.

2.    Vesting of Options.  The Option shall vest (become exercisable) in accordance with the schedule shown on Page 1 of this Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, upon Optionee’s death or Disability during his or her Continuous Service, or subject to the consent of the Committee, upon Optionee’s Retirement, all Options shall become fully vested and exercisable.  

3.     Term of Options and Limitations on Right to Exercise.  The term of the Options will be for a period of ten years, expiring at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”).  To the extent not previously exercised, the Options will lapse prior to the Expiration Date upon the earliest to occur of the following circumstances:

(a)       Three months after the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service for any reason other than by reason of Optionee’s death, Disability or Retirement.                                            

(b) Twelve months after termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service by reason of Disability.

(c)       Five years after termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service by reason of Retirement.

(d)       Twelve months after the date of Optionee’s death, if Optionee dies while employed, or during the three-month period described in subsection (a) above or during the twelve-month period described in subsection (b) above and before the Options otherwise lapse.  If the Optionee dies during the five-year period described in subsection (c) above, the Option shall lapse as provided in subsection (c).  Upon Optionee’s death, the Options may be exercised by Optionee’s beneficiary designated pursuant to the Plan.  

The Committee may, prior to the lapse of the Options under the circumstances described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, extend the time to exercise the Options as determined by the Committee in writing.  If Optionee returns to employment with the Company during the designated post-termination exercise period, then Optionee shall be restored to the status Optionee held prior to such termination but no vesting credit will be earned for any period Optionee was not in Continuous Service.  If Optionee or his or her beneficiary exercises an Option after termination of service, the Options may be exercised only with respect to the Shares that were otherwise vested on Optionee’s termination of service.

4.    Exercise of Option.  The Options shall be exercised by (a) written notice directed to the Secretary of the Company or his or her designee at 
the address and in the form specified by the Secretary from time to time and (b) payment to the Company in full for the Shares subject to such exercise (unless the exercise is a broker-assisted  cashless exercise, as described below).  If the person exercising an Option is not Optionee, such person shall also deliver with the notice of exercise appropriate proof of his or her right to exercise the Option.  Payment for such Shares shall be in (a) cash, (b) Shares previously acquired by the purchaser, which have been held by the purchaser for such period of time, if any, as necessary to avoid variable accounting for the Option, or (c) any combination thereof, for the number of Shares specified in such written notice.  The value of surrendered Shares for this purpose shall be the Fair Market Value as of the last trading day immediately prior to the exercise date.  To the extent permitted under Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, and subject to applicable securities laws and any limitations as may be applied from time to time by the Committee (which need not be uniform), the Options may be exercised through a broker in a so-called “cashless exercise” whereby the broker sells the Option Shares on behalf of Optionee and delivers cash sales proceeds to the Company in payment of 

the exercise price.  In such case, the date of exercise shall be deemed to be the date on which notice of exercise is received by the Company and the exercise price shall be delivered to the Company by the settlement date.

5.    Beneficiary Designation.  Optionee may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of Optionee hereunder and to receive any distribution with respect to the Options upon Optionee’s death.  A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights hereunder is subject to all terms and conditions of this Certificate and the Plan, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.  If no beneficiary has been designated or survives Optionee, the Options may be exercised by the legal representative of Optionee’s estate, and payment shall be made to Optionee’s estate.  Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by Optionee at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Company.

6.    Withholding.  The Company or any employer Affiliate has the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Optionee to remit to the employer, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including Optionee’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the exercise of the Options.  The withholding requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, at the election of the Secretary, by withholding from the Options Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Secretary establishes. If Shares are surrendered to satisfy withholding obligations in excess of the minimum withholding obligation, such Shares must have been held by the purchaser as fully vested shares for such period of time, if any, as necessary to avoid variable accounting for the Options.  The obligations of the Company under this Certificate will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Optionee.  

7.    Limitation of Rights.  The Options do not confer to Optionee or Optionee’s beneficiary designated pursuant to Paragraph 5 any rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with the exercise of the Options.  

8.    No Right of Continued Employment; No Rights to Compensation or Damages.  Nothing in the Plan or this Certificate or any document executed under either of them shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate Optionee's employment without liability at any time, nor confer upon Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate.  By executing this Certificate, Optionee waives any and all rights to compensation or damages for the termination of his office or employment, or failure to provide sufficient notice of termination of his office or employment, with the Company or any Affiliate for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the loss of Optionee’s benefits or rights upon conversion of the Options in connection with such termination.

9.    Stock Reserve.  The Company shall at all times during the term of this Certificate reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Certificate.
10.    Restrictions on Transfer and Pledge.  No right or interest of Optionee in the Options may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of Optionee to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate.  The Options are not assignable or transferable by Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Option under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers.  The Options may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee or any permitted transferee.  

11.    Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.  If at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion, that registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by the Options upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the exercise of the Options, the Options may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and 

until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
    
12.    No Entitlement to Future Awards.  The grant of the Options does not entitle Optionee to the grant of any additional options or other awards under the Plan in the future.  Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of options, and vesting provisions.  The grant of the options is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of any employment contract.  As such, the Options are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

13.    Transfer of Data.  By executing this certificate, Optionee voluntarily acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph.  Optionee is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data, but failure to provide the consent may affect Optionee’s eligibility to receive awards under the Plan.  The Company and its Affiliates hold certain personal information about Optionee, including name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of any rights or entitlements to shares of stock, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).  The Company and its Affiliates will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of Optionee’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and any of its Affiliates may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  These recipients may be located in the United States or elsewhere throughout the world.  Optionee authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on Optionee’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan.  Optionee may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, by withdrawing his or her consent, Optionee will affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.

14.    Amendment.  The Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Certificate without approval of Optionee; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without Optionee’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of this award determined as if it had been fully vested on the date of such amendment or termination.

15.    Plan Controls.  The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Certificate and this Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan.  In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Certificate, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative. Any conflict between this Certificate and the terms of a written employment, key position, or change-in-control agreement between the Company and Optionee shall be decided in favor of the provisions of such employment, key position, or change-in-control agreement.

16.    Successors.  This Certificate shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Certificate and the Plan.

17.    Governing Law.  This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws. Optionee hereby agrees and submits to jurisdiction in the state or federal courts located in Muscogee County in the State of Georgia and waives objection to such jurisdiction.

18.    Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Certificate is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Certificate will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

19.    Relationship to Other Benefits.  The Shares shall not affect the calculation of benefits under any other compensation plan or program of the Company, except to the extent specially provided in such other plan or program.

20.    Notice.  Notices and communications under this Certificate must be in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  Notices to the Company must be addressed to Global Payments Inc., 3550 Lenox Road, Suite 3000, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, Attn: Corporate Secretary, or any other address designated by the Company in a written notice to Optionee. Notices to Optionee will be directed to the address of Optionee then currently on file with the Company, or at any other address given by Optionee in a written notice to the Company.
21.  Clawback.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate, the Plan, or any employment, key position, or change-in-control agreement with Optionee, the options granted hereunder are subject to the provisions of the following clawback policy established by the Committee prior to the grant of the Options hereunder. The Committee may seek to recoup all or any portion of the value of any annual or long-term incentive awards provided to any current or former executive officers in the event that the Company’s financial statements are restated due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws (the “Restatement”).  The Committee may seek recoupment from any current or former executive officer who received incentive-based compensation, granted after the date hereof, during the three (3) year period preceding the date that the Company was required to prepare the Restatement.  The Committee may seek to recover the amount by which the individual executive's incentive payments exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results and the Committee may determine whether the Company shall effect such recovery:  (i) by seeking repayment from the executive; (ii) by reducing (subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement) the amount that would otherwise be payable to the executive under any compensatory plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company; or (iii) a combination of foregoing.  The Optionee hereby acknowledges that this award is subject to the foregoing policy and agrees to make any repayment required in connection therewith.Document

Upon receipt of such notice the Issuing and Paying Agent shall not thereafter issue or release the relevant Notes, but shall cancel and destroy them.
3.6Each Note credited to the Issuing and Paying Agent’s distribution account with the relevant Clearing System(s) following the delivery of the Notes to the Common Depositary shall be held to the order of the Issuer pending delivery to the relevant Dealer in accordance with the normal procedures of the relevant Clearing System(s). The Issuing and Paying Agent shall, in the case of a delivery versus payment settlement, arrange for the transfer of the proceeds of issue to the Issuer to the account specified in, and in accordance with the standing settlement instructions set out in, Schedule 3 to this Agreement. The Issuer shall notify the Issuing and Paying Agent of any changes to the account details and standing 
			
	A41558879

settlement instructions in Schedule 3 to this Agreement at least three business days in London prior to any Issue Date.
3.7If on the relevant Issue Date the relevant Dealer does not, for a delivery versus payment settlement, pay the purchase price due from it in respect of any Note (the “Defaulted Note”) and, as a result, the Defaulted Note remains in the Issuing and Paying Agent’s distribution account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg after such Issue Date, the Issuing and Paying Agent will continue to hold the Defaulted Note to the order of the Issuer. Unless the Issuer instructs otherwise, if the purchase price in respect of the Defaulted Note has not been paid by close of business on the second business day in London following the Issue Date, the Issuer hereby instructs the Issuing and Paying Agent to cancel the Defaulted Note and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, confirm cancellation of the Defaulted Note to the Issuer.
3.8If the Issuing and Paying Agent pays an amount (the “Advance”) to the Issuer on the basis that a payment (the “Payment”) has been, or will be, received from the relevant Dealer and if the Payment has not been or is not received by the Issuing and Paying Agent on the date the Issuing and Paying Agent pays the Issuer, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall promptly inform the relevant Dealer and request such Dealer to make good the Payment, failing which the Issuer shall, upon being requested to do so by the Issuing and Paying Agent, repay to the Issuing and Paying Agent the Advance and pay interest on the Advance from (and including) the date of the Advance to (but excluding) the earlier of repayment of the Advance or receipt by the Issuing and Paying Agent of the Payment at a rate quoted at that time by the Issuing and Paying Agent as its costs of funding the Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay any amount to the Issuer if it has not received satisfactory confirmation, in its sole discretion, that it is to receive the Payment from the relevant Dealer.
3.9The Issuer hereby authorises and instructs the Issuing and Paying Agent to complete, authenticate and deliver on its behalf Definitive Notes in accordance with the terms of any Global Note presented to the Issuing and Paying Agent for exchange in whole (but not in part only).
3.10The Issuer will promptly notify the Issuing and Paying Agent of the appointment, resignation or termination of the appointment of any Dealer.
3.11The Issuer will give at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Issuing and Paying Agent of any increase in the Maximum Amount.
4.Payment
4.1The Issuer undertakes in respect of each Note issued by the Issuer to pay in pounds sterling no later than 11.00 a.m. (London time) on each maturity date or any relevant interest payment date of each Note (or such other time as the Issuing and Paying Agent shall determine in its absolute discretion giving written notice to the Issuer of such time) an amount sufficient to pay the full amount payable on such date by transfer in same-day value, freely transferable funds to such account as the Issuing and Paying Agent may from time to time designate for the purpose.
4.2The Issuer shall, no later than 3 p.m. (London time) on the business day in London immediately preceding the maturity date or any relevant interest payment date of any Note (or such later time or date as may be agreed between the Issuer and the Issuing and Paying Agent), procure that the bank effecting the payment sends to the Issuing and 
			
	A41558879

Paying Agent by tested fax or authenticated SWIFT an irrevocable confirmation that payment will be made.
4.3The Issuer hereby authorises and directs the Issuing and Paying Agent, from funds so paid to the Issuing and Paying Agent, to make payment of all amounts due on the Notes as set forth herein and in the Notes.
4.4If the Issuing and Paying Agent has not received on the maturity date or any relevant interest payment date of any Notes the full amount payable in respect thereof on such date and confirmation satisfactory to itself that such payment has been received, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall notify the Issuer as soon as reasonably practicable of this fact and shall not be required to make payment of any amount due on any Note. If the Issuing and Paying Agent is satisfied that it will receive such full amount later, it shall be entitled, but not obliged, to pay amounts due on such Notes in accordance with their terms.
4.5If the Issuing and Paying Agent makes such payment on behalf of the Issuer under Clause ‎4.4 and it does not later receive the full amount from the Issuer, the Issuer shall be liable on demand by the Issuing and Paying Agent to pay to the Issuing and Paying Agent the amount so paid out, together with interest thereon at such a rate as the Issuing and Paying Agent may confirm as representing the Issuing and Paying Agent’s cost of funding any such payment made by it.
4.6If at any time the Issuing and Paying Agent makes a partial payment in respect of any Note presented to it, it shall procure that a statement indicating the date and amount of such payment is endorsed on the Note.
4.7The Issuing and Paying Agent shall be entitled to deal with moneys paid to it hereunder in the same manner as other moneys paid to it as a banker by its customers except that:
4.7.1  it shall not be entitled to exercise any lien, set-off or other claim;
4.7.2 it shall not be liable to any person for interest on any sums held by it under this Agreement; and
 4.7.3  money held by it need not be segregated except as required by law.
4.8The Issuing and Paying Agent holds all money as banker and not as trustee and as a result such money will not be held in accordance with the Client Money Rules and, in the event that the Issuing and Paying Agent fails, the client money distribution rules will not apply and so the Issuer will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the client money distribution rules.
5.Cancellation, Destruction, Records and Custody
5.1All Notes which mature and are paid in full or purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer and delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent for cancellation shall be cancelled as soon as reasonably practicable by the Issuing and Paying Agent. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall, unless the Issuer otherwise directs, destroy the cancelled Notes and, as soon as reasonably practicable upon any request, provide the Issuer with particulars of the aggregate principal amount of Notes maturing on such maturity date which have been destroyed since the last certification so furnished and the series and serial numbers (if applicable) of all such Notes.

10.6Prior to the first issue of Notes, the Issuer shall provide the Issuing and Paying Agent with a copy of the certified list of persons authorised to take action on its behalf in connection with this Agreement and shall notify the Issuing and Paying Agent immediately in writing if any of such persons shall cease to be authorised or if any additional person shall be so authorised together, in the case of an additional authorised person, with evidence satisfactory to the Issuing and Paying Agent that such person has been so authorised.
10.7Each party shall, within ten business days of a written request by another party, supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to it, its operations, or the Notes as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with Applicable Law and shall notify the relevant other party reasonably promptly in the event that it becomes aware that any of the forms, 
			
	A41558879

documentation or other information provided by such party is (or becomes) inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide any forms, documentation or other information pursuant to this Clause ‎10.7 to the extent that: (i) any such form, documentation or other information (or the information required to be provided on such form or documentation) is not reasonably available to such party and cannot be obtained by such party using reasonable efforts; or (ii) doing so would or might in the reasonable opinion of such party constitute a breach of any: (a) Applicable Law; (b) fiduciary duty; or (c) duty of confidentiality.

10.9Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Issuing and Paying Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Issuer or, as the case may be, the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Issuer, shall so account to the relevant Authority for such amount.
10.10In the event that the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that withholding for or on account of any Tax will be required by Applicable Law in connection with any payment due to the Issuing and Paying Agent on any Notes, then the Issuer or, as the case may be, will be entitled to redirect or reorganise any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without such deductions or withholding provided that any such redirected or reorganised payment is made through a recognised institution of international standing and otherwise made in accordance with this Agreement. The Issuer will promptly notify the Issuing and Paying Agent of any such redirection or reorganisation. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Clause ‎10.10.
10.11Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the Issuing and Paying Agent be liable to the Issuer or any other person for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, or for any loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit, even if advised of such loss or damage.

5.The payment obligation of the Issuer represented by this Global Note constitutes, and at all times shall constitute, a direct and unsecured obligation of the Issuer ranking at least pari passu with all present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer other than obligations mandatorily preferred by law applying to companies generally.
6.This Global Note is negotiable and, accordingly, title hereto shall pass by delivery and the bearer shall be treated as being absolutely entitled to receive payment upon due presentation hereof free and clear of any equity, set-off or counterclaim on the part of the Issuer against any previous bearer hereof.
7.This Global Note is issued in respect of an issue of Notes of the Issuer and is exchangeable in whole (but not in part only) for duly executed and authenticated bearer Notes in definitive form (whether before, on or, subject as provided below, after the Maturity Date):
a.if one or both of Euroclear Bank SA/NV and Clearstream Banking S.A. is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days or more (other than by reason of weekends or public holidays, statutory or otherwise) or if any such clearing system announces an intention to, or does in fact, permanently cease to do business; or
b.if default is made in the payment of any amount payable in respect of this Global Note.
			
	A41558879

8.If, upon any such default and following such surrender, definitive Notes are not issued in full exchange for this Global Note before 5.00 p.m. (London time) on the thirtieth day after surrender, this Global Note (including the obligation hereunder to issue definitive notes) will become void and the bearer will have no further rights under this Global Note (but without prejudice to the rights which the bearer or any other person may have under a Deed of Covenant dated 30 April 2020 (as amended, re-stated or supplemented as of the date of issue of the Notes) entered into by the Issuer).
9.The denomination of the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be £100,000.
10.If this is an interest-bearing Global Note, then:
a.notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 above, if any payment of interest in respect of this Global Note falling due for payment prior to the Maturity Date remains unpaid on the fifteenth day after falling so due, the Nominal Amount shall be payable on such fifteenth day;
b.upon each payment of interest (if any) prior to the Maturity Date in respect of this Global Note, the Schedule hereto shall be duly completed by the Issuing and Paying Agent to reflect such payment;
c.if no Interest Payment Dates are specified on this Global Note, the Interest Payment Date shall be the Maturity Date;
d.interest shall be calculated on the Nominal Amount as follows:
i.interest shall be payable on the Nominal Amount in respect of each successive Interest Period (as defined below) from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date only, in arrear on the relevant Interest Payment Date, on the basis of the actual number of days in such Interest Period and a year of 365 days at the Interest Rate with the resulting figure being rounded to the nearest penny (with halves being rounded upwards); and
ii.the period beginning on (and including) the Issue Date and ending on (but excluding) the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period beginning on (and including) an Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date is an “Interest Period” for the purposes of this paragraph.

Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such delivery or publication.
13.This Global Note shall not be validly issued unless manually or electronically authenticated by the Issuing and Paying Agent acting as issuing and paying agent.

	Specified Currency:	Sterling
	Interest Rate:

1.For value received, Brake Bros Limited (the “Issuer”) promises to pay to the bearer of this Definitive Note on the Maturity Date the Nominal Amount, together with interest thereon at the rate and at the times (if any) specified herein.
All such payments shall be made in accordance with an issuing and paying agency agreement dated 30 April 2020 (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time) between the Issuer and the issuing and paying agent referred to therein, a copy of which is available for inspection at the office of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (the “Issuing and Paying Agent”) at Winchester House, 1 Great Winchester Street, London EC2N 2DB, England (the “Specified Office”), and subject to and in accordance with the terms and 
			
	A41558879

conditions set forth below. All such payments shall be made upon presentation and surrender of this Definitive Note at the office of the Issuing and Paying Agent referred to above by transfer to an account denominated in the Specified Currency maintained by the bearer with a bank in London.
2.All payments in respect of this Definitive Note by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, fees, liabilities or similar deductions and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, taxes, levies, duties, assessments or charges of any nature now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of Issuer's taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing (“Taxes”), unless the withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, pay such additional amounts as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the bearer of this Definitive Note after such deduction or withholding shall equal the amount which would have been receivable hereunder in the absence of such deduction or withholding, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable where this Definitive Note is presented for payment:
a.by or on behalf of a holder which is liable to such Taxes by reason of its having some connection with the jurisdiction imposing the Taxes other than the mere holding of this Definitive Note; or
b.more than 15 days after the Maturity Date or, if applicable, the relevant Interest Payment Date or (in either case) the date on which payment hereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such additional amounts if it had presented this Definitive Note on the last day of such period of 15 days.
3.If the Maturity Date or, if applicable, the relevant Interest Payment Date is not a Payment Business Day (as defined herein) payment in respect hereof will not be made and credit or transfer instructions shall not be given until the next following Payment Business Day (unless that date falls more than 364 days after the Issue Date, in which case payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Payment Business Day) and the bearer of this Definitive Note shall not be entitled to any interest or other sums in respect of such postponed payment. 
As used in this Definitive Note, “Payment Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday which is a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London.
4.The payment obligation of the Issuer represented by this Definitive Note constitutes, and at all times shall constitute, a direct and unsecured obligation of the Issuer ranking at least pari passu with all present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer other than obligations mandatorily preferred by law applying to companies generally.
5.This Definitive Note is negotiable and, accordingly, title hereto shall pass by delivery and the bearer shall be treated as being absolutely entitled to receive payment upon due presentation hereof free and clear of any equity, set-off or counterclaim on the part of the Issuer against any previous bearer hereof.
6.The denomination of this Definitive Note shall be £100,000.
7.If this is an interest-bearing Definitive Note, then:
			
	A41558879

a.notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 above, if any payment of interest in respect of this Definitive Note falling due for payment prior to the Maturity Date remains unpaid on the fifteenth day after falling so due, the Nominal Amount shall be payable on such fifteenth day;
b.upon each payment of interest (if any) prior to the Maturity Date in respect of this Definitive Note, the Schedule hereto shall be duly completed by the Issuing and Paying Agent to reflect such payment; 
c.if no Interest Payment Dates are specified on this Definitive Note, the Interest Payment Date shall be the Maturity Date;
d.interest shall be calculated on the Nominal Amount as follows:
i.interest shall be payable on the Nominal Amount in respect of each successive Interest Period (as defined below) from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date only, in arrear on the relevant Interest Payment Date, on the basis of the actual number of days in such Interest Period and a year of 365 days at the Interest Rate with the resulting figure being rounded to the nearest penny (with halves being rounded upwards); and
ii.the period beginning on (and including) the Issue Date and ending on (but excluding) the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period beginning on (and including) an Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date is an “Interest Period” for the purposes of this paragraph.
8.Instructions for payment must be received at the office of the Issuing and Paying Agent referred to above together with this Definitive Note at least one Business Day prior to the relevant payment date.
As used in this paragraph, “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday or Sunday on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London.
9.Notices to holders will be published in a leading English language daily newspaper published in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times). Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication.
10.This Definitive Note shall not be validly issued unless manually authenticated by the Issuing and Paying Agent acting as issuing and paying agent.
11.This Definitive Note and any non-contractual obligations arising from or connected with it are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.
The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Definitive Note (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Definitive Note). The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, and the bearer of this Definitive Note shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that, the English courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute and accordingly no such person will be entitled to argue to the contrary.
The Issuer irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to claim any immunity from proceedings brought by the bearer against it in relation to this Definitive Note and to ensure

that no such claim is made on its behalf, consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with those proceedings, and waives all rights of immunity in respect of it or its assets.
