MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 4.01     Electronic
Communications. The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”)
given pursuant to the Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means (as defined below); provided, however, that, unless previously provided,
the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized
Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by
the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.  If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions
using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such
Instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of
the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent
by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. 
The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company
and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes,
passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses
arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions
conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, except as may result from its own gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.  The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions
to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions (unless the Trustee has acted
on such unauthorized Instructions with gross negligence, in bad faith or with willful misconduct), and the risk of interception and misuse
by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting
Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by
the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide
to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the
Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

 

    7

    

    

 

“Electronic
Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing
applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by
the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

 

Section 4.02     OFAC.
None of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control
of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”); and the Company will not use the proceeds of the offering of the

Ratification and Confirmation. The Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this Thirty-Second Supplemental Indenture, is in all

This Thirty-Second Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but such
counterparts shall together constitute but one instrument.

and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

) on October 18, 2024 (the “Stated Maturity”). This Note will bear interest on the unpaid principal amount
hereof at a rate of 5.350% per year from November 18, 2022, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has

period. Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on an Interest Payment Date that is not a Business Day shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date to the date of payment on the next succeeding Business Day. For purposes hereof, “Business Day”

(FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE)

 

This
Note is one of a duly authorized series of securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant
to a Senior Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1999 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”, which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
August 27, 2009, between the Company and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), the Fifth Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”),
the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2016, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Seventeenth
Supplemental Indenture”) and the Twenty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2018, between the Company
and the Trustee (the “Twenty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture as amended and supplemented by the
First Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture and the Twenty-Fifth Supplemental
Indenture is referred to herein as the “Amended Base Indenture”), and as further amended and supplemented by the Thirty-Second
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 18, 2022, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Thirty-Second Supplemental
Indenture”; the Amended Base Indenture, as further amended and supplemented by the Thirty-Second Supplemental Indenture, is
referred to herein as the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all Indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company
and the Holders of the Notes. This Note is one of a series of securities designated on the face hereof (the “Notes”).
The Notes are issued pursuant to the Indenture and are limited in aggregate principal amount to US$1,250,000,000; provided, however,
that the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes having
the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects or in all respects except for issue date, issue price and, if applicable,
the first date on which interest accrues and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional notes issued in this manner will be consolidated
with, and will form a single series with, the Notes, unless such additional notes will not be treated as fungible with the Notes for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Notes and any such additional notes would rank equally and ratably.

 

In accordance with Section 10.8 of the Indenture,
pursuant to the procedure set forth in Article X of the Indenture, the Company may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than
all, of the Notes if (a) there is a change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations (i) of the Commonwealth
of Australia, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (ii) in the event of the assumption
pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Indenture of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and this Note by an entity organized
under the laws of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia or a political subdivision of a country other than the Commonwealth
of Australia, of the Commonwealth of Australia or the country in which such entity is organized or resident or deemed resident for tax
purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (b) there is a change in any application
or interpretation of any such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective, (i) with respect to taxes
imposed by the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, on or after the date the
Company originally issued this Note, or (ii) in the event of the assumption pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Indenture
of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and this Note by an entity organized under the laws of a country other than the
Commonwealth of Australia or a political subdivision of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia, with respect to taxes imposed
by a non-Australian jurisdiction, on or after the date of the transaction resulting in such assumption, and, in each case, as a result
of such change or amendment (1) the Company is or will become obligated to pay any additional amounts on this Note pursuant
to Section 9.8 of the Indenture or (2) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in computing its taxation
liabilities in respect of (A) any payments of interest or additional amounts or (B) any original issue discount
on this Note.

 

    A-5

    

    

 

Before the Company may redeem this Note, it must
give the Holder of this Note at least 30 days’ written notice and not more than 60 days’ written notice of its intention
to redeem this Note, provided that if the earliest date on which (i) the Company will be obligated to pay any additional
amounts, or (ii) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments of interest or additional
amounts on or any original issue discount in respect of this Note in computing its taxation liabilities, would occur less than 45 days
after the relevant change or amendment to the applicable laws, regulations, determinations or guidelines, the Company may give less than
30 days’ written notice but in no case less than 15 days’ written notice, provided it gives such notice as soon as practicable
in all the circumstances.

 

The Redemption Price for this Note shall equal
100% of the principal amount of this Note plus accrued but unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance
and covenant defeasance at any time of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth therein.

 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration become, due and payable immediately, in the manner, with
the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Notes, to waive any Event
of Default under the Indenture and its consequences, subject to Section 5.7 of the Indenture.

 

    A-6

    

    

 

In accordance with Section 9.8 of the Indenture,
the Company will pay all amounts that it is required to pay in respect of this Note without withholding or deduction for, or on account
of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Commonwealth
of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by
law. In that event, the Company will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Holder of
this Note, after such withholding or deduction, will equal the amount that the Holder of this Note would have received in respect of
this Note without such withholding or deduction; provided that the Company will pay no additional amounts in respect of this Note for
or on account of:

 

		(1)	any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that
would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note was a resident, domiciliary or national
of, or engaged in business or maintained a permanent establishment or was physically present in, the Commonwealth of Australia or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or otherwise had some connection with the Commonwealth of Australia or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein other than merely holding this Note or receiving payments under this Note;

 

		(2)	any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that
would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder of this Note presented this Note for payment in the Commonwealth of Australia,
unless the Holder was required to present this Note for payment and it could not have been presented for payment anywhere else;

 

		(3)	any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that
would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder of this Note presented this Note for payment more than 30 days after the
date such payment became due and was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled
to the additional amounts on presenting this Note for payment on any day during that 30 day period;

 

		(4)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property
or similar tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

		(5)	any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which
is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction;

 

    A-7

    

    

 

(6)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed if the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note complied with the Company’s
request to provide information concerning his, her or its nationality, residence or identity or to make a declaration, claim or filing
or satisfy any requirement for information or reporting that is required to establish the eligibility of the Holder, or the beneficial
owner, of this Note to receive the relevant payment without (or at a reduced rate of) withholding or deduction for or on account of any
such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(7)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note being an associate
of the Company’s for purposes of Section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 of the Commonwealth of Australia, as amended,
or any successor act (the “Australian Tax Act”) (other than in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian,
funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme under the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth of Australia, as amended,
or any successor act);

 

(8)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld as a consequence of a determination having been made under Part IVA of the
Australian Tax Act (or any modification thereof or provision substituted therefor) by the Australian Commissioner of Taxation that such
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge is payable in circumstances where the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note
is a party to or participated in a scheme to avoid such tax which the Company was not a party to;

 

(9)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge arising under or in connection with Section 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, including any regulations or official interpretations issued, agreements (including, without limitation, intergovernmental
agreements) entered into or non-U.S. laws enacted with respect thereto (“FATCA”); or

 

(10) any combination of the foregoing.

 

Subject to the foregoing, additional amounts will
also not be payable by the Company with respect to any payment on this Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that payment would, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, be treated as being derived or received for tax purposes by a beneficiary or settler
of that fiduciary or member of that partnership or a beneficial owner, in each case, who would not have been entitled to those additional
amounts had it been the actual Holder of this Note.

 

If, as a result of the Company’s consolidation
or merger with or into an entity organized under the laws of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia or a political subdivision
of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia or the sale, conveyance or transfer by the Company of all or substantially all its
assets to such an entity, such an entity assumes the obligations of the Company, such entity will pay additional amounts on the same basis,
except that references to “the Commonwealth of Australia” (other than in clause (7) above) will be treated as references
to both the Commonwealth of Australia and the country in which such entity is organized or resident (or deemed resident for tax purposes).

 

    A-8 

     

    

 

The Company, and any other Person to or through
which any payment with respect to this Note may be made, shall be entitled to withhold or deduct from any payment with respect to this
Note amounts required to be withheld or deducted under or in connection with FATCA, and Holders and beneficial owners of this Note shall
not be entitled to receive any gross up or other additional amounts on account of any such withholding or deduction.

 

All references in this Note to the payment of the
principal of or interest on this Note shall be deemed to include the payment of additional amounts to the extent that, in that context,
additional amounts are, were or would be payable as provided above.

 

The
Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount (calculated as provided in the Indenture) of the Outstanding Securities of each series adversely affected
thereby to add any provisions to or to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or to modify
the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series, provided that, without the consent of the Holder of each such Security
so affected, no such modification shall (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal
of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount of any Security or the rate of interest thereon, or change the coin or
currency in which any Security or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or (b) reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such
amendment or modification, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture
or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Indenture, or (c) change any obligation of the
Company to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes specified in Section 9.2 of the Indenture, or (d) except
to the extent provided in Section 8.1(9) of the Indenture, make any change in Section 5.2, 5.7, 5.10 or 8.2 of the Indenture
except to increase any percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived except with
the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security affected thereby. Any such consent given by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued on registration hereof, the transfer hereof or
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Note.

 

    A-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 place, at the respective time, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
this Note, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
a new Note or Notes of like tenor and authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount in exchange herefor, subject to
the limitations provided in the Indenture. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to the provisions hereof with respect to determination of the Person to whom interest is
payable).

 

Reference is made to the Indenture for a statement
of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
and of the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered.

 

No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
agent, member, manager, trustee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any successor Person shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any successor Person, either directly or through the Company or any successor Person, under the Notes or the Indenture
or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation, whether by virtue of any rule of law,
statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise. By accepting
a Note, each Holder agrees to the provisions of Section 1.13 of the Indenture and waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver
and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

 

    A-10 

     

    

 

The Notes of this series shall be issuable only

NOTE DUE NOVEMBER 18, 2027

 

WESTPAC
BANKING CORPORATION, a company incorporated in the Commonwealth of Australia under the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth of
Australia and registered in New South Wales (the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under
the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to                                   or
registered assigns, the principal sum
of                                       (US$
                         
) on November 18, 2027 (the “Stated Maturity”). This Note will bear interest on the unpaid principal amount
hereof at a rate of 5.457% per year from November 18, 2022, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, until the principal amount hereof shall have been paid or duly provided for, and interest on the
Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 18 and November 18 of each year (each such date, an
 “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on May 18, 2023. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period less than a full interest period shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and the actual days elapsed in a partial month in such
period. Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on an Interest Payment Date that is not a Business Day shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date to the date of payment on the next succeeding Business Day. For purposes hereof, “Business Day”
means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in Sydney, Australia, New
York, New York, or London, United Kingdom are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

 

Interest
on this Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in

interest, which shall be the close of business on the May 3 or November 3 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case
may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date, at the office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to the Indenture; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company, interest on this Note may be paid (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as it shall appear on the Register or (ii) to a Holder of US$1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Register. Any
interest on this Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest shall instead be payable to the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the Special Record
Date or other specified date in accordance with the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest payable on an Interest Payment
Date that is also the Stated Maturity of this Note will be paid at such office or agency to the Person to whom the principal hereof is
payable, upon surrender of this Note at such office or agency.

Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”, which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
August 27, 2009, between the Company and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), the Fifth Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”),
the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2016, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Seventeenth
Supplemental Indenture”) and the Twenty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2018, between the Company
and the Trustee (the “Twenty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture as amended and supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture and the Twenty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture
is referred to herein as the “Amended Base Indenture”), and as further amended and supplemented by the Thirty-Second
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 18, 2022, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Thirty-Second Supplemental
Indenture”; the Amended Base Indenture, as further amended and supplemented by the Thirty-Second Supplemental Indenture, is
referred to herein as the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all Indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company
and the Holders of the Notes. This Note is one of a series of securities designated on the face hereof (the “Notes”).
The Notes are issued pursuant to the Indenture and are limited in aggregate principal amount to US$1,250,000,000; provided, however,
that the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes having the
same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects or in all respects except for issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first
date on which interest accrues and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional notes issued in this manner will be consolidated
with, and will form a single series with, the Notes, unless such additional notes will not be treated as fungible with the Notes for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. The Notes and any such additional notes would rank equally and ratably.

In accordance with Section 10.8 of the Indenture,
pursuant to the procedure set forth in Article X of the Indenture, the Company may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than
all, of the Notes if (a) there is a change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations (i) of the Commonwealth
of Australia, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (ii) in the event of the assumption
pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Indenture of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and this Note by an entity organized
under the laws of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia or a political subdivision of a country other than the Commonwealth
of Australia, of the Commonwealth of Australia or the country in which such entity is organized or resident or deemed resident for tax
purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (b) there is a change in any application
or interpretation of any such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective, (i) with respect to taxes
imposed by the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, on or after the date the
Company originally issued this Note, or (ii) in the event of the assumption pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Indenture
of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and this Note by an entity organized under the laws of a country other than the
Commonwealth of Australia or a political subdivision of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia, with respect to taxes imposed
by a non-Australian jurisdiction, on or after the date of the transaction resulting in such assumption, and, in each case, as a result
of such change or amendment (1) the Company is or will become obligated to pay any additional amounts on this Note pursuant
to Section 9.8 of the Indenture or (2) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in computing its taxation
liabilities in respect of (A) any payments of interest or additional amounts or (B) any original issue discount
on this Note.

 

Before the Company may redeem this Note, it must
give the Holder of this Note at least 30 days’ written notice and not more than 60 days’ written notice of its intention to
redeem this Note, provided that if the earliest date on which (i) the Company will be obligated to pay any additional amounts,
or (ii) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments of interest or additional amounts
on or any original issue discount in respect of this Note in computing its taxation liabilities, would occur less than 45 days after the
relevant change or amendment to the applicable laws, regulations, determinations or guidelines, the Company may give less than 30 days’
written notice but in no case less than 15 days’ written notice, provided it gives such notice as soon as practicable in all the
circumstances.

 

The Redemption Price for this Note shall equal
100% of the principal amount of this Note plus accrued but unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance
and covenant defeasance at any time of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth therein.

 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration become, due and payable immediately, in the manner, with
the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Notes, to waive any Event
of Default under the Indenture and its consequences, subject to Section 5.7 of the Indenture.

In accordance with Section 9.8 of the Indenture,
the Company will pay all amounts that it is required to pay in respect of this Note without withholding or deduction for, or on account
of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Commonwealth
of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by
law. In that event, the Company will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Holder of
this Note, after such withholding or deduction, will equal the amount that the Holder of this Note would have received in respect of this
Note without such withholding or deduction; provided that the Company will pay no additional amounts in respect of this Note for or on
account of:

 

(1)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note
was a resident, domiciliary or national of, or engaged in business or maintained a permanent establishment or was physically present in,
the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or otherwise had some connection with
the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein other than merely holding this Note
or receiving payments under this Note;

 

(2)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder of this Note presented this Note for payment
in the Commonwealth of Australia, unless the Holder was required to present this Note for payment and it could not have been presented
for payment anywhere else;

 

(3)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder of this Note presented this Note for payment
more than 30 days after the date such payment became due and was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder
would have been entitled to the additional amounts on presenting this Note for payment on any day during that 30 day period;

 

(4)  any estate, inheritance,
gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(5)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction;

 

(6)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed if the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note complied with the Company’s
request to provide information concerning his, her or its nationality, residence or identity or to make a declaration, claim or filing
or satisfy any requirement for information or reporting that is required to establish the eligibility of the Holder, or the beneficial
owner, of this Note to receive the relevant payment without (or at a reduced rate of) withholding or deduction for or on account of any
such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

    B-6 

     

    

 

(7)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note being an associate
of the Company’s for purposes of Section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 of the Commonwealth of Australia, as amended,
or any successor act (the “Australian Tax Act”) (other than in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian,
funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme under the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth of Australia, as amended,
or any successor act);

 

(8)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld as a consequence of a determination having been made under Part IVA of the
Australian Tax Act (or any modification thereof or provision substituted therefor) by the Australian Commissioner of Taxation that such
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge is payable in circumstances where the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Note
is a party to or participated in a scheme to avoid such tax which the Company was not a party to;

 

(9)  any tax, duty, assessment
or other governmental charge arising under or in connection with Section 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, including any regulations or official interpretations issued, agreements (including, without limitation, intergovernmental
agreements) entered into or non-U.S. laws enacted with respect thereto (“FATCA”); or

 

(10) any combination of the foregoing.

 

Subject to the foregoing, additional amounts will
also not be payable by the Company with respect to any payment on this Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that payment would, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, be treated as being derived or received for tax purposes by a beneficiary or settler
of that fiduciary or member of that partnership or a beneficial owner, in each case, who would not have been entitled to those additional
amounts had it been the actual Holder of this Note.

 

If, as a result of the Company’s consolidation
or merger with or into an entity organized under the laws of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia or a political subdivision
of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia or the sale, conveyance or transfer by the Company of all or substantially all its
assets to such an entity, such an entity assumes the obligations of the Company, such entity will pay additional amounts on the same basis,
except that references to “the Commonwealth of Australia” (other than in clause (7) above) will be treated as references
to both the Commonwealth of Australia and the country in which such entity is organized or resident (or deemed resident for tax purposes).

 

    B-7 

     

    

 

The Company, and any other Person to or through
which any payment with respect to this Note may be made, shall be entitled to withhold or deduct from any payment with respect to this
Note amounts required to be withheld or deducted under or in connection with FATCA, and Holders and beneficial owners of this Note shall
not be entitled to receive any gross up or other additional amounts on account of any such withholding or deduction.

 

All references in this Note to the payment of the
principal of or interest on this Note shall be deemed to include the payment of additional amounts to the extent that, in that context,
additional amounts are, were or would be payable as provided above.

 

The
Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount (calculated as provided in the Indenture) of the Outstanding Securities of each series adversely affected
thereby to add any provisions to or to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or to modify
the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series, provided that, without the consent of the Holder of each such Security
so affected, no such modification shall (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal
of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount of any Security or the rate of interest thereon, or change the coin or
currency in which any Security or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or (b) reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such
amendment or modification, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture
or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Indenture, or (c) change any obligation of the
Company to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes specified in Section 9.2 of the Indenture, or (d) except
to the extent provided in Section 8.1(9) of the Indenture, make any change in Section 5.2, 5.7, 5.10 or 8.2 of the Indenture
except to increase any percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived except with
the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security affected thereby. Any such consent given by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued on registration hereof, the transfer hereof or
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Note.

 

    B-8 

     

    

 

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 place, at the respective time, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
this Note, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
a new Note or Notes of like tenor and authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount in exchange herefor, subject to
the limitations provided in the Indenture. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to the provisions hereof with respect to determination of the Person to whom interest is
payable).

 

Reference is made to the Indenture for a statement
of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
and of the terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered.

 

No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
agent, member, manager, trustee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any successor Person shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any successor Person, either directly or through the Company or any successor Person, under the Notes or the Indenture
or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation, whether by virtue of any rule of law,
statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise. By accepting
a Note, each Holder agrees to the provisions of Section 1.13 of the Indenture and waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver
and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
