     Interest on this Note shall be paid quarterly in arrears on February 23,
May 23, August 23 and November 23, each an interest payment date, beginning
February 23, 2004. If any of the quarterly interest payment dates listed above

Issuers will postpone the interest payment date to the next succeeding Business
Day unless that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which
case the interest payment date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.
Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed.

<PAGE>

     Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, November 20, 2003,
to, and excluding, the first interest payment date and then from, and
including, the immediately preceding interest payment date to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for, to, but excluding, the next interest
payment date or the maturity date, as the case may be (each, an "interest
period"). The amount of accrued interest for any interest period shall be
calculated by multiplying the face amount of this Note by an accrued interest
factor. This accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest
factor calculated for each day from November 20, 2003, or from the last date
the Issuers paid interest, to the date for which accrued interest is being
calculated. The interest factor for each day shall be computed by dividing the
interest rate applicable to that day by 360.

     If the maturity date of this Note falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, the Issuers shall pay principal and interest on the next succeeding
Business Day, as if that payment was made on the date that the payment was due.
No interest will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date to the
payment date on such next Business Day.

     The interest payable on this Note on any interest payment date will,
except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose
name this Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar
day, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the interest payment
date. However, interest payable on the maturity date will be payable to the
person to whom the principal will be payable.

     The interest rate on this Note will be calculated by the Calculation Agent
and will be equal to LIBOR plus 0.07%, except that the interest rate in effect
for the period from November 20, 2003 to, but excluding February 23, 2004 will
be ___%. The Calculation Agent will reset the interest rate on each interest
payment date, each an "interest reset date". The second Business Day (as
defined in the Indenture) preceding an interest reset date will be the
"interest determination date" for that interest reset date. The interest rate
in effect on each day that is not an interest reset date will be the interest
rate determined as of the interest determination date pertaining to the
immediately preceding interest reset date. The interest rate in effect on any
day that is an interest reset date will be the interest rate determined as of
the interest determination date pertaining to that interest reset date, except
that the interest rate in effect for the period from and including November 20,
2003 to the initial reset date will be the initial interest rate.

     "LIBOR" will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
following provisions:

     (i) With respect to any interest determination date, LIBOR will be the
     rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three
     months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that
     appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that
     interest determination date. If no rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect to
     that interest determination date, will be determined in accordance with
     the provisions described in (ii) below.

     (ii) With respect to an interest determination date on which no rate
     appears on Telerate Page 3750, as specified in (i) above, the Calculation
     Agent will request

                                       3
<PAGE>

     the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the
     London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide
     the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United
     States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day
     of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank
     market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on that interest
     determination date and in a principal amount that is representative for a
     single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time.
     If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that interest
     determination date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If
     fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the interest
     determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at
     approximately 11:00 A.M., in The City of New York, on the interest
     determination date by three major banks in The City of New York selected
     by the Calculation Agent for loans in United States dollars to leading
     European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount
     that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars
     in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the banks selected
     by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the manner
     described by this sentence, LIBOR determined as of that interest
     determination date will be LIBOR in effect on that interest determination
     date.

     "Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated as "Page 3750" on
Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, for the purpose of displaying the
London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars.

     The Calculation Agent shall be Wachovia Bank, National Association,
formerly known as First Union National Bank, or such other Person as the
Issuers shall from time to time designate.

     Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts
and as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

     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.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of Wachovia Bank, National Association, formerly known as First Union
National Bank, the Trustee for this Note under the Indenture, or its successor
thereunder, by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this
Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Issuers
designated as Floating Rate Notes due 2005 (the "Notes"). The Notes are one of
an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Issuers (the
"Securities"), issued or issuable under and pursuant to an indenture (the
"Indenture") dated as of December 17, 2001, between the Issuers and Wachovia
Bank, National Association, formerly known as First Union National Bank (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 thereunder of
the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which
the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms of this Note include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. This Note is one of a series
designated on the face hereof and is not limited as to the aggregate principal
amount thereof. The terms of other series of Securities issued under the
Indenture may vary with respect to interest rates or interest rate formulas,
issue dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise
as provided in the Indenture. The Indenture further provides that Securities of
a single series may be issued at various times, with different maturity dates
and may bear interest at different rates.

     This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

     If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be
continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series then Outstanding may
declare the entire principal amount of the Notes of this series due and payable
in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Notes shall not be redeemable prior to their stated maturity.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
Issuers and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series
issued under the Indenture to be affected thereby, to execute supplemental
indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of such Securities and any related coupons
under the Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture
shall, among other things, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of,
or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, if any, or any
premium payable upon redemption thereof; change the currency or currency unit
in which any Security or the principal or interest thereon is payable; impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the Stated Maturity thereof (or in the case of redemption on or after the
Redemption Date); impair any right of Holders of any Security to repay or
purchase Securities at their option; reduce or alter the method of computation
of any amount payable upon redemption, repayment or purchase of any Securities
by the Issuers (or the time when such redemption, repayment or purchase may be
made), (ii) reduce the percentage in

                                       1
<PAGE>

principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series, the
Holders of which are required to consent to any supplemental indenture, or any
waiver or (iii) modify any of the provisions of Sections 513, 902 or 1005 of
the Indenture, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without
the consent of the Holder of each Security affected thereby; provided, however,
that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder of a
Security or coupon with respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee"
and concomitant changes in Sections 902 and 1005 of the Indenture, or the
deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 609,
611(b), 901(6) and 901(7) of the Indenture.

     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such
covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the
Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

     The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
particular series and any related coupons, on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of that series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture
and their consequences with respect to such series, except a default in the
payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any
Security of that series or a default with respect to a covenant or provision of
the Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of such Holder.

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same. Except as provided in the Indenture, if (i) the
Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository or if
at any time the Depositary shall no longer be eligible under Section 303 of the
Indenture and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuers within 90
days after the Issuers receive such notice or becomes aware of such
ineligibility or (ii) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Issuer Order of
each Issuer to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable, this Note shall
be exchangeable for Notes in definitive form and in an equal aggregate
principal amount. Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or
names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein and above, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security
Register of the Issuers, upon surrender of this Note for registration of
transfer at the office or agency of the Issuers in a Place of Payment, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Issuers and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Notes of authorized denominations and of a like Stated Maturity and
of like series and the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any

the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuers, which is

Dear Andy

Following our discussions, I am pleased to confirm the terms of the extension
which will apply to your Long Term Assignment to Verizon Wireless (known as Host
Company) in the USA (known as Host Country). This offer should be read in
conjunction with the Group International Assignment Policy (IAP) which you
should familiarise yourself with. Where there is a material difference between
the terms of this letter and the IAP, as opposed to any omissions, then the
terms of this letter shall prevail.

Your Primary Employment remains with your Home Company as defined in the IAP.

A    THE ASSIGNMENT
     --------------

     Position and Duties
     -------------------

     Your position during the assignment will continue to be Chief Financial
     Officer reporting to Denny Strigl, CEO of Verizon Wireless. Your duties
     will be as described by Denny.

     Status
     ------

     The basis of the Assignment will be Accompanied status.

     Period of Assignment
     --------------------

     The period of Assignment extension in the Host Country will be for 18
     months with effect from 1 April 2004, except if terminated earlier in
     accordance with Section D below. Should it be mutually agreed, the
     Assignment may be extended at which time the terms and conditions of the
     Assignment will be reviewed.

     Hours of Work
     -------------

     Your working hours will continue to be in accordance with Host Company
     practice and the operational needs of your role.

<PAGE>

     Immigration Approval
     --------------------

     This Assignment extension is made subject to all the necessary
     permits/visas required for living and working in the Host Country
     continuing to be in effect. Company assistance will be available if needed.

B    HOME BASE BENEFITS
     ------------------

     Base Salary
     -----------

     Your basic salary of (pound)278,250 remains unchanged. Your Home Base
     Salary will be the starting point for the calculation of your Assignment
     Salary. All salary payments will be made by your Home Company into a bank
     account in your Home Country.

     IPO Compensation
     ----------------

     Based on our current understanding, there are no foreseeable plans for a
     Verizon IPO. As such the non-IPO payment committed to you, will be paid. A
     gross payment of (pound)100,000 will be made to you in March 2004.

     Pension
     -------

     Your membership of your Home Company pension scheme will continue with
     contributions calculated using your Home Base Salary.

     Insurance
     ---------

     Your membership of your Home Company life insurance schemes will continue
     with contributions/benefits calculated using your Home Base Salary.

     Cash Incentives/Bonuses
     -----------------------

     Your membership of your Home Company bonus/incentives will continue with
     payments as before. However your STIP criteria will be based on Verizon
     Wireless targets from the start date of your assignment. Your LTIP will
     remain unchanged.

     We will now calculate your Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) payment, on the
     total amount of your base salary plus additional responsibility allowance,
     i.e. (pound)278,250 + (pound)125,000 = (pound)403,250.This will be
     effective from 1st April 2004. All other STIP terms remain unchanged.

     Over the period of the Assignment, your collective tax and social security
     liabilities in relation to income arising from these schemes will be no
     greater than had you remained in your Home Country and these liabilities
     will arise no earlier than they would have done in your home location. All
     calculations will be provided by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the Group's
     advisors on overseas personal tax matters.

     Share/Stock Plans
     -----------------

     Your participation in your current Home Company plans will continue except
     where plan rules or the applicable legislation prevents this. The level of
     your participation will be determined in accordance with Home Company
     practice.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     Over the period of the Assignment, your collective tax and social security
     liabilities in relation to income arising from these schemes will be no
     greater than had you remained in your Home Country and these liabilities
     will arise no earlier than they would have done in your home location. All
     calculations will be provided by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the Group's
     advisors on overseas personal tax matters.

     It is your responsibility to notify PwC at least 5 working days in advance
     of any potential events relating to these share plans over which you have
     discretion (eg exercise of a share option). This should allow sufficient
     time for any potential complications to be considered.

     Holiday Entitlement
     -------------------

     Your Home Company holiday entitlement will continue but with actual days to
     be taken to be approved locally. You will observe Host Country Statutory
     Holidays while on assignment.

     Subject to approval, all Host Country holiday entitlement accrued while on
     the Assignment should be taken before returning to the Home Country. Where
     this is not possible, you may be compensated for up to 10 days calculated
     using Home Base Salary.

C    ASSIGNMENT BENEFITS
     -------------------

     Assignment Salary Build-up
     --------------------------

     Your Assignment Salary will be calculated using a build-up approach that
     will provide an incentive to reward you for working internationally.

     It also takes account of any tax, social security and cost of living
     differentials between the Home and Host location.

     In summary, the build-up starts with your Home Base Salary and then deducts
     estimated Home tax and social security payments due on cash and benefits.
     Your Assignment allowances will then be added to give the net build-up
     salary.

     Your net pay excluding bonus payments will be (pound) 264,398 per annum,
     adjusted for salary reviews each July. Effective 1st April 2004, with the
     proposed increase to your Additional Responsibility Allowance, this will
     increase to (pound)289,949 (without taking into account any changes in your
     salary or taxes etc between now and then).

     Full details of your Assignment Salary are contained in the Assignment
     Salary Build-Up Sheet attached.

     Additional Responsibility Allowance
     -----------------------------------

     You will be eligible for an Additional Responsibility Allowance. This will
     increased to (pound)125,000 per annum, effective 1st April 2004, paid
     monthly within your net pay referred to above. This is designed to provide
     additional compensation for the special circumstances of your working in
     the USA.
