| 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 and identified by BP Capital U.K., 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 and identified by BP Capital U.K. 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 and identified by BP Capital U.K. 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 nominated for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”) or its successor or such other entity assuming the responsibility of IBA or its successor in calculating the London Interbank Offered Rate in the event IBA or its successor no longer does so. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the Interest Rate on the 2018 Notes shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of 2018 Notes, BP, BP Capital U.K. and the trustee, absent manifest error. | ||

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable. “Treasury rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such redemption date. “Comparable treasury issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the quotation agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2020 Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection | |
| and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes. “Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption date. “Quotation agent” means one of the reference treasury dealers appointed by BP Capital U.K. “Reference treasury dealer” means Goldman, Sachs & Co., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and RBS Securities Inc. (marketing name “NatWest Markets”) or their affiliates, each of which is a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “primary treasury dealer”), and their respective successors, and two other primary treasury dealers selected by BP Capital U.K., provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary treasury dealer, BP Capital U.K. shall substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer. “Reference treasury dealer quotations” means with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the quotation agent, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the quotation agent by such reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date. | ||||
| Sinking Fund: | There is no sinking fund. | |||
| Further Issuances: | BP Capital U.K. may, at its sole option, at any time and without the consent of the then existing note holders issue additional notes in one or more transactions subsequent to the date of the related prospectus supplement dated February 8, 2017 with terms (other than the issuance date, issue price and, possibly, the first interest payment date and the date interest starts accruing) identical to the 2020 Notes issued pursuant to the prospectus supplement.

| Supplemental Information on U.S. Taxation: | BP Capital U.K. expects that the 2020 notes will be treated as issued in a “qualified reopening” of the outstanding U.S. $1,250,000,000 2.315% Guaranteed Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 05565QCX4, ISIN US05565QCX43), previously issued by BP Capital U.K. (the “original 2020 notes”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Debt securities issued in a qualified reopening for U.S. federal income tax purposes are deemed to be part of the same issue as the original debt securities. Under such treatment, the 2020 notes would have the same issue date, the same issue price and the same adjusted issue price as the original 2020 notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Payments on the 2020 notes that are attributable to pre-issuance accrued interest should not be includible in income. A United States holder acquiring the 2020 notes pursuant to this offering generally will be treated as acquiring the notes with premium, as described in the accompanying prospectus under “Tax Considerations—United States Taxation—Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium.” However, because the 2020 notes may be redeemable by BP Capital U.K. prior to maturity at a premium, special rules may apply that could reduce, eliminate or defer the amount of premium that you may amortize with respect to the 2020 notes. Please consult your tax advisor about the effect of BP Capital U.K.’s optional redemption right on your ownership of the 2020 notes. | |||

On or after January 14, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the 2027 Notes), BP Capital U.K. has the right to redeem the 2027 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable. “Treasury rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual | |
| equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such redemption date. “Comparable treasury issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the quotation agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes. “Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption date. “Quotation agent” means one of the reference treasury dealers appointed by BP Capital U.K. “Reference treasury dealer” means Barclays Capital Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., and RBS Securities Inc. (marketing name “NatWest Markets”) or their affiliates, each of which is a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “primary treasury dealer”), and their respective successors, and two other primary treasury dealers selected by BP Capital U.K., provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary treasury dealer, BP Capital U.K. shall substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer. “Reference treasury dealer quotations” means with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the quotation agent, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the quotation agent by such reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date. | ||
| Sinking Fund: | There is no sinking fund. | |
| Further Issuances: | BP Capital U.K. may, at its sole option, at any time and without the consent of the then existing note holders issue additional notes in one or more transactions subsequent to the date of the related prospectus supplement dated February 8, 2017 with terms (other than the issuance date, issue price and, possibly, the first interest payment date and the date interest starts accruing) identical to the 2027 Notes issued pursuant to the prospectus supplement. These additional notes will be deemed part of the same series as the 2027 Notes issued pursuant to the prospectus supplement and will provide the holders of these additional notes the right to vote together with holders of the 2027 Notes issued pursuant to the prospectus supplement, provided that such additional notes will be issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount or be part of a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. | |
