However, such deduction or withholding shall not apply to payments made under the dated subordinated debt securities of such series and this prospectus through the relevant clearing systems. In all cases, the paying agent shall have no obligation to gross up any payment made subject to any deduction or withholding pursuant to 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 dated subordinated debt security, and we shall not pay Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent these provisions explicitly provide otherwise.

If such deduction or withholding shall at any time be required by the law of the Taxing Jurisdiction, we shall pay such Additional Amounts in respect of any payments of interest and related deferred payments and missed payments, if any, only (and not principal) on such undated subordinated debt securities as may be necessary so that the net amounts (including Additional Amounts) paid to the holders, after such deduction or withholding, shall be equal to the respective amounts of interest and related deferred payments and missed payments, if any, which the holders would have been entitled to receive in respect of such undated subordinated debt securities in the absence of such deduction or withholding, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any such tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding which:
