For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, and for the purpose of setting forth, as provided in the Indenture, the forms and terms of the Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantors covenant and agree, with the Trustee, as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1.                                 Definition of Terms.  Unless the context otherwise requires:

(a)                                 each capitalized term defined in the Indenture or the Notes and not defined herein has the same meaning provided in the Indenture or the Notes, as applicable, when used in this Supplemental Indenture;

(b)                                 the singular includes the plural, and vice versa; and

(c)                                  headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation.

ARTICLE 2.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NOTES

Section 2.1.                                 Designation and Principal Amount.There is hereby authorized and established a series of Securities under the Indenture, designated as the “4.375% Senior Notes due 2029,” which is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to £750,000,000 (except upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture and except for any Securities which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered).

Section 2.2.                                 Maturity.The Stated Maturity of principal of the Notes shall be September 14, 2029.

Section 2.3.                                 Further Issues.  The Company may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of any series of the Notes, issue additional Notes of any series.  Any such additional Notes shall have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the relevant series of the Notes.  Any such additional notes of a series, together with the Notes of the relevant series herein provided for, shall constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

Section 2.4.                                 Payment.  Principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable in pounds sterling (“Sterling”). If the United Kingdom adopts euro, in lieu of Sterling, as its lawful currency, the Notes will be redenominated in euro on a date determined by the Company, with a principal amount for each Note equal to the principal amount of that Note in Sterling, converted into euro at the rate established by the applicable law; provided that, if the Company determines

2

that the then current market practice in respect of the redenomination into euro of internationally offered securities is different from the provisions specified herein, such provision will be deemed to be amended so as to comply with such market practice and the Company will promptly notify the Trustee and Paying Agent of such deemed amendment.  The Company will give 30 days’ notice of the redenomination date to the Paying Agent, the Trustee and Euroclear/Clearstream.

If Sterling or, in the event the Notes are redenominated in euro, euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control (other than due to the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph), then all payments in respect of the Note will be made in U.S. dollars until Sterling or euro, as the case may be, is again available to the Company. The amount payable on any date in Sterling or, in the event the Notes are redenominated in euro, euro will be converted to U.S. dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for Sterling or euro, as the case may be. Any payment in respect of the Note so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

For purposes of these Notes, the Place of Payment shall be the City of London.

Section 2.5.                                 Global Securities.  Upon the original issuance, the Notes will be represented by Global Securities registered in the name of The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited, as nominee of The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, the common depositary for Euroclear/Clearstream.  The Company will deposit the Global Securities with Euroclear/Clearsteam or its custodian and register the Global Securities in the name of The Bank of New York Depository (Nominees) Limited.

For purposes of these Notes:

“Clearstream” means Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg.

“Euroclear” means Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V.

Section 2.6.                                 Interest.

The Notes will bear interest from September 14, 2012 at the rate of 4.375% per annum, payable annually in arrears on September 14 of each year, beginning September 14, 2013, to Holders of record as at the close of the Business Day prior to the Interest Payment Date.  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest had been paid, from September 14, 2012.  If the scheduled Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then interest will be paid on the first business day following the scheduled Interest Payment Date.  Interest periods are unadjusted.  The day count convention is ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA).

“Business Day” means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

(b)                                 Rights of Issuers to Redeem Notes.

(y)                                 an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on such Notes to be redeemed (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date and subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) discounted from their scheduled date of payment to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 35 basis points

plus, in each of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such Redemption Date.

For purposes of this clause (b)(i):

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company.

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is

4

closest to the maturity of the Notes, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected by such independent investment bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

To the extent not specified above, any redemption of any Notes pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) and paragraph (g) of the Notes shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Indenture.

Section 2.9.                                 Ranking.  The Notes shall be senior unsecured debt securities of the Issuers, ranking equally with the Issuers’ other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

Section 2.11.                          Defeasance.  The Company may elect, at its option at any time, pursuant to Section 1301 of the Indenture, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 in the Indenture, or both, apply to the Notes, or all, or any principal amount thereof.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

(a)                                 Indenture.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuers (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 14, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Base Indenture”), and a supplemental indenture relating to such series dated as of September 14, 2012 (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Issuers, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, such series initially limited in aggregate principal amount to £750 million; provided that the Company may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of any Holder, issue additional Notes of this series.

The Notes of this series are redeemable at the option of the Company as provided in Section 2.8(b) of the Supplemental Indenture and paragraph (g) of this Note.

The Notes of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Notes of this series or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to such Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

(b)                                 Interest.

The Company promises to pay interest from September 14, 2012, on the principal amount of this Note annually in cash in arrears on September 14 of each year, beginning September 14, 2013, in like coin or currency, at the rate per annum specified in the title hereof.

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the date from which interest begins to accrue for the period (or September 14, 2012 if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. If interest or principal on this Note is payable on a date that is not a Business Day, then interest will be paid on the first Business Day following the scheduled Interest Payment Date. Interest periods are unadjusted.  The day count convention is ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA).

“Business Day” means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

A-5

(c)                                  Issuance in Sterling.

Principal and interest payments in respect of the Notes will be payable in Sterling.  If the United Kingdom adopts euro, in lieu of Sterling, as its lawful currency, the Notes will be redenominated in euro on a date determined by the Company, with a principal amount for each Note equal to the principal amount of that Note in Sterling, converted into euro at the rate established by the applicable law; provided that, if the Company determines that the then current market practice in respect of the redenomination into euro of internationally offered securities is different from the provisions specified above, such provisions will be deemed to be amended so as to comply with such market practice and the Company will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such deemed amendment.  The Company will give 30 days’ notice of the redenomination date to the Paying Agent, the Trustee, and Euroclear/Clearstream.

If Sterling or, in the event the Notes are redenominated in euro, euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control (other than due to the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph), then all payments in respect of the Note will be made in U.S. dollars until Sterling or euro, as the case may be, is again available to the Company.  The amount payable on any date in Sterling or, in the event the Notes are redenominated in euro, euro will be converted to U.S. dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for Sterling or euro, as the case may be.  Any payment in respect of the Note so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Indenture.

(d)                                 Method of Payment.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any September 14 will, except as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (herein called the “Regular Record Date”) and may, at the option of the Company, be paid by check mailed to the registered address of such Person. Any such interest which is payable, but is not so punctually paid or duly provided for, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid either to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the NYSE on which the Notes will be listed and upon such notice as may be required by the NYSE, if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

(e)                                  Paying Agent.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch will act as Paying Agent. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts.

A-6

(f)                                   Optional Redemption.

The Company will have the right at its option to redeem any of the Notes in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of Notes, at a Redemption Price calculated by the Company equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on such Notes to be redeemed (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date and subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) discounted from their scheduled date of payment to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 35 basis points, plus, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such Redemption Date.

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company.

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected by such independent investment bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

To the extent not specified above, any redemption of any Notes pursuant to this paragraph (f) of the Notes shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Indenture.

(g)                                  Redemption for Tax Reasons.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after September 14, 2012 the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described below with respect to the Notes, then the Company may at any time

A-7

at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

To the extent not specified above, any redemption of any Notes pursuant to this paragraph (g) of the Notes shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Indenture.

(h)                                 Payment of Additional Amounts.

The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Notes such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or the Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a Holder who is not a United States person (as defined below), after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply:

(1)                                 to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

(a)                                 being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

(c)                                  being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

A-8
