Calculation Agent:	The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
Calculation of U.S. Dollar LIBOR:	The Calculation Agent will determine U.S. dollar LIBOR in accordance with the following provisions: With respect to any Interest Determination Date, U.S. dollar LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a
maturity of three months commencing on the Interest Reset Date that appears on the designated LIBOR page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, U.S. dollar LIBOR, in respect of that Interest
Determination Date, will be determined as follows: the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with
us), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the Interest Reset Date, 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 U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then U.S. dollar LIBOR on that Interest
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then U.S. dollar LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with us) for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in
a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. 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, U.S. dollar LIBOR determined as of that Interest Determination Date will be U.S. dollar LIBOR in effect on that Interest Determination Date. The designated LIBOR page is the Reuters screen “LIBOR01”, or any successor service for
the purpose

| | of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars. The Reuters screen “LIBOR01” is the display designated as the Reuters screen “LIBOR01”, or such other page as may replace the Reuters
screen “LIBOR01” on that service or such other service or services as may be denominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits. All calculations made
by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the Interest Rate on the 2018 Floating Rate Notes shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of 2018 Floating Rate Notes, BP, BP Capital U.K. and the trustee, absent manifest
error. |
