With respect to any series of contingent capital securities, any paying agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the contingent capital securities of such series and the relevant indenture for or on account of Applicable Law.

In addition, amounts deducted or withheld by the paying agent under this provision shall be treated as paid to the holder of a contingent capital security, and we shall not pay Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent these provisions explicitly provide otherwise.
