, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise. For these purposes, “Amounts Due” are the principal amount of, and any accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Amounts, on, the Securities. References to such amounts will include amounts that have become due and payable, but which have not been paid, prior to the exercise of any UK bail-inpower by the relevant UK resolution authority. See “Description of the Securities—Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of UK Bail-inPower.” Moreover, each securityholder (which, for these purposes, includes each beneficial owner) will consent to the exercise of the UK bail-inpower as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the relevant UK resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities.

For the avoidance of doubt, the potential conversion of the Securities into shares, other securities or other obligations in connection with the exercise of any UK bail-inpower by the relevant UK resolution authority is separate and distinct from an Automatic Conversion following a Capital Adequacy Trigger Event.

By its acquisition of the Securities, each securityholder (which, for these purposes, includes each beneficial owner), to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), will waive any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as trustee, for, agree not to initiate a suit against the trustee in respect of, and agree that the trustee will not be liable for, any action that the trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the UK bail-inpower by the relevant UK resolution authority with respect to the Securities.
