(j) The Securities shall be issued in denominations of $200,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The
denomination of each Security (or any interest therein) shall be its “Tradable Amount.” Prior to a Conversion, the Tradable Amount of any Security (or any interest therein) shall equal its principal amount. Following a Conversion,
the principal amount of each Security shall equal zero, but its Tradable Amount shall remain unchanged as a result of the Conversion. 

Section 2.02 Interest. 

(a) The interest rate on the Securities shall be (i) from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the First Call Date 5.750% per
annum and (ii) from and including each Reset Date to but excluding the following Reset Date, the sum of the applicable U.S. Treasury Rate on the Reset Determination Date and 4.342%. Subject to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, interest on the
principal amount of each Security shall be payable semiannually in arrear on May 16 and November 16 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on November 16, 2019, and shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed. The first date on which interest may be paid will be November 16, 2019 for the
period commencing on (and including) September 10, 2019, and ending on (but excluding) November 16, 2019. 
 Section 2.03

any reason to cancel (in whole or in part) any interest payment that would otherwise be payable in respect of the Securities on any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date. If the Company does not make an interest payment on any Interest Payment
Date or Redemption Date in whole or in part, such interest payment (or the portion thereof not paid) shall be deemed cancelled and shall not be due and payable whether or not the Company has provided notice of cancellation of such interest payment
as set forth in Section 2.06. An interest payment otherwise payable on an Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date that is not a Business Day will not be deemed cancelled if it is paid on the following Business Day.

 Section 2.04 Restriction on Interest Payments. 

(a) Without limiting the Company’s right to cancel any interest payment pursuant to Section 2.03 and subject to the extent permitted
in Section 2.04(b) in respect of partial interest payments in respect of the Securities, the Company shall not make an interest payment (including any Additional Amounts) in respect of the Securities on any Interest Payment Date or Redemption
Date (or the following Business Day, if such Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, is not a Business Day) in whole or in part, if and to the extent that: 

 

	 	(i)	 the amount of such interest payment otherwise due, together with any interest payments or distributions which
have been paid or made or which are required to be paid or made during the then current financial year on other own funds items (excluding any such interest payments or distributions which (i) are not required to be made out of Distributable
Items or (ii) have already been provided for, by way of deduction, in the calculation of Distributable Items), in the aggregate exceed the amount of Distributable Items of the Company as at such Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date;



  

	 	(ii)	 the payment of such interest, when aggregated together with certain other distributions of the kind referred to
in Article 141(2) of the CRD IV Directive (or any provision of applicable law, including the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), transposing or implementing Article 141(2) of the CRD IV Directive, as
amended or replaced), or, as applicable, any analogous restrictions arising from the requirement to meet capital buffers under Capital Regulations or the BRRD, would cause the Maximum Distributable Amount, if any, then applicable to the Company to
be exceeded; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 the payment of such interest is scheduled to be made on an Interest Payment Date falling on or after the date
of a Trigger Event or Liquidation Event. 


 (b) The Company may, however, in its sole discretion, elect to make a partial
interest payment in respect of the Securities to the extent that such partial interest payment may be made without breaching the restriction set forth in Section 2.04(a).

 Section 2.05 Effect of Interest Cancellation. Interest on the Securities shall
only be due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent it is not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04. Any interest cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) pursuant to
Sections 2.03 and 2.04 shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter (including upon redemption of the Securities), and Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities shall have no rights thereto (whether upon
a Liquidation Event or otherwise) or to receive any additional interest or compensation as a result of such cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest in respect of the Securities. 

Section 2.06 Notice of Interest Cancellation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture (including
Section 1.06 of the Base Indenture), if practicable, the Company shall provide notice of any cancellation of interest (in each case, in whole or in part) to the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities at least five (5) Business Days
prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date and shall provide notice of any deemed cancellation of interest to the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities as promptly as practicable following the relevant Interest Payment Date
or Redemption Date. Failure to provide such notice shall have no impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest, or give the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities any
rights as a result of such failure. 
 Section 2.07 Determination of Interest Calculation Agent. All determinations and
calculations made by the Interest Calculation Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities, the Company and the Trustee, absent manifest error.

that, subject to certain exceptions, interest shall cease to accrue after the redemption date. A notice of redemption shall be irrevocable, except that the occurrence of a Trigger Event or Liquidation Event or the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority prior to the date fixed for redemption shall automatically revoke such notice and no Securities shall be redeemed and no payment in respect of the Securities shall
be due and payable.

such time; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 in respect of a redemption prior to the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, (A) in the case of redemption

reasonably foreseeable as at the Issue Date; and

 ARTICLE IV 

CONVERSION OF THE SECURITIES 

Section 4.01 Conversion upon Trigger Event. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Company shall: 
  

	 	(i)	 immediately inform the Competent Authority of its occurrence; 



 

	 	(ii)	 deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate signed by two (2) members of the Executive Board
stating that a Trigger Event has occurred (a “Trigger Event Officers’ Certificate”); 


  

	 	(iii)	 appoint a reputable financial institution, trust company, depository entity, nominee entity or similar entity
that is wholly independent of the Company (the entity so appointed, the “Conversion Shares Depository”) as promptly as practicable thereafter; and 



 

	 	(iv)	 as promptly as practicable following the Company’s appointment of a Conversion Shares Depository (or of
its ascertaining that it is not reasonably able to do so) and the delivery of a Trigger Event Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee, and, in any event, within such period as the Competent Authority may require, the Company shall deliver a
Conversion Notice to the Trustee and to Holders of the Securities (via DTC). 


 As a condition of its appointment, the Conversion Shares
Depository shall be required to undertake, for the benefit of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities, to hold the Conversion Shares on their behalf in one or more segregated accounts and perform each function ascribed to it in this
Third Supplemental Indenture. If the Company is unable to appoint a Conversion Shares Depository prior to delivery of the Conversion Notice, it shall make such other arrangements as it deems reasonable to effect the delivery of the Conversion Shares
to or for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities (the “Alternative Delivery Arrangements”). Each Holder and Beneficial Owner of any Securities shall be deemed to have irrevocably directed the Company to issue the Conversion
Shares in accordance with such arrangements. 
 (b) A Conversion Notice shall be given substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with
such modifications as shall be reasonably necessary to reflect any Alternative Delivery Arrangements. Such Conversion Notice shall be completed consistent with the requirements of this Article IV and shall specify, among other things: 

 

	 	(i)	 that a Trigger Event has occurred with respect to the Securities; 



 

	 	(ii)	 the Conversion Price; 



  
 - 15 - 














	 	(iii)	 a Conversion Date occurring without delay upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event and in any event within one
(1) month following the date of such Trigger Event and in accordance with the requirements set out in Article 54 of the CRR as at the Issue Date; 


  

	 	(iv)	 the Notice Cut-Off Date; and 



 

	 	(v)	 a Final Cancellation Date, which shall be to the extent practicable no more than fifteen (15) Business
Days following the Notice Cut-Off Date 


 A form of Conversion Shares Settlement Notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit C, with such modifications as shall be reasonably necessary to reflect any Alternative Delivery Arrangements or any changes in the procedures of the Depositary applicable to the Conversion, shall be
attached to the Conversion Notice as an annex thereto. 
 (c) If the outstanding Securities are issued in definitive form, the Trustee shall
mail the Conversion Notice to the Holders of the Securities at their addresses shown on the Security Register within two (2) Business Days of its receipt from the Company and, if the Securities are then held by DTC in the form of Global
Securities, the Trustee shall request that DTC post the Conversion Notice on its Reorganization Inquiry for Participants System pursuant to DTC’s procedures then in effect (or such other system as DTC uses for providing notices to holders of
securities). The date on which the Conversion Notice shall be deemed to have been given shall be the date on which it is delivered by the Company to DTC. 

(d) The Conversion shall occur on the Conversion Date specified in the Conversion Notice. On the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and
deliver the Conversion Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository (or, if it shall not have been able to appoint a Conversion Shares Depository, pursuant to any Alternative Delivery Arrangements). All of the Company’s obligations to the Holders
and Beneficial Owners of the Securities under the Securities and the Indenture shall be irrevocably and automatically released in consideration of the Company’s issuance and delivery of such Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date pursuant to
this Section 4.01(d) and under no circumstances shall such released obligations be reinstated. Upon such issuance and delivery, (i) the principal amount of each Security shall automatically be reduced to zero and each Holder or Beneficial
Owner of a Security shall have recourse only to the Conversion Shares Depository for delivery of the Conversion Shares and (ii) the Securities shall remain in existence until the applicable Cancellation Date for the sole purpose of evidencing
the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities’ right to receive Conversion Shares from the Conversion Shares Depository or pursuant to any Alternative Delivery Arrangements. Any interest in respect of an Interest Period ending on any
Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date falling between the date of a Trigger Event and the Conversion Date shall be deemed to have been cancelled upon the occurrence of such Trigger Event and shall not be due and payable. The Holders of the
Securities’ sole recourse for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository or pursuant to any Alternative Delivery Arrangements on the Conversion Date shall be the right to demand
that the Company make such issuance and delivery. 
 (e) If a Conversion Shares Depository shall have been appointed, the Conversion Shares
shall initially be registered in the name of the Conversion Shares Depository (which shall hold the Conversion Shares on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities), and each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Securities shall be
deemed to have irrevocably directed the Company to issue the Conversion Shares corresponding to the conversion of its holding of Securities to the Conversion Shares Depository (which shall hold the Conversion Shares on behalf of the Holders and
Beneficial Owners of the Securities). 

  
 - 16 - 













 (f) Each Holder and Beneficial Owner of Securities shall be entitled to direct the
Conversion Shares Depository to exercise on its behalf all rights of a holder of the Conversion Shares (including voting rights and rights to receive dividends) other than any right to sell or otherwise transfer the Conversion Shares, which no such
Holder or Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to exercise prior to the delivery of the Conversion Shares to it in accordance with the procedures set forth under Section 4.03. 

(g) The Company’s calculation of its Group CET1 Capital, Group Total Risk Exposure Amount and Group CET1 Ratio, as well as any Trigger
Event Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, shall be binding on the Trustee and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 

Section 4.02 Conversion Shares. 

(a) The number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Conversion Shares Depository (or other relevant recipient) upon Conversion will be the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding immediately prior to Conversion on the Conversion Date divided by the Conversion Price (rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Conversion Shares). Each Holder of the
Securities shall be entitled (subject to compliance with the relevant settlement procedures) to receive a number of Conversion Shares from the Conversion Shares Depository (or other relevant initial recipient) equal to the aggregate Tradable Amount
of the Securities held by such Holder divided by the Conversion Price (rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Conversion Shares). The Conversion Shares Depository (or other relevant recipient) shall hold the Conversion Shares on
behalf of the Holders of the Securities to the extent of each such Holder’s entitlement to receive Conversion Shares as set forth above. Fractions of Conversion Shares shall not be issued or delivered following a Conversion and no cash payment
shall be made in lieu thereof. 
 (b) The Conversion Shares issued following a Conversion shall be fully paid and non-assessable and shall in all respects rank pari passu with the fully paid Ordinary Shares in issue on the Conversion Date, except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of
applicable law, and except that the Conversion Shares so issued shall not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, the entitlement to which falls prior to the Conversion
Date. 
 (c) If the Company has an ADS Depositary Facility in effect on the Conversion Date, the Conversion Shares Depository shall deposit
with the ADS Depositary any Conversion Shares in respect of which any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities elects to receive ADSs pursuant to a validly completed Conversion Shares Settlement Notice on the applicable Settlement Date and shall
cause the ADS Depositary to issue the corresponding number of ADSs to such Holder or Beneficial Owner in accordance with its applicable procedures, including with respect to the payment of any applicable fees and expenses of the ADS Depositary. The
obligation to deliver ADSs if a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities elects to have its Conversion Shares delivered in such form will apply only if at the time of Conversion the Company continues to maintain an ADS Depositary Facility. The
delivery of the Conversion Shares to the ADS Depositary shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute the delivery of the Conversion Shares to any such Holder or Beneficial Owner. 

(d) The procedures set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 are subject to change to reflect changes in DTC practices, and the Company may make
changes to the procedures set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 to the extent reasonably necessary, in the opinion of the Company, to reflect such changes in DTC practices.

 Section 4.03 Settlement Procedure. 

(a) Delivery of the Conversion Shares to the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities shall be made in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section 4.03. 
 (b) No Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities (or the custodian, nominee, broker or other
representative thereof) shall receive delivery of the relevant Conversion Shares unless the Conversion Shares Depository shall have received its Conversion Shares Settlement Notice (and, if required, the Securities to which it relates) on or before
the Notice Cut-Off Date. Any notice or Securities received after the end of normal business hours at the specified office of the Conversion Shares Depository shall be deemed received on the following Business
Day. 
 (c) If the outstanding Securities are then issued in the form of Global Securities, no Conversion Shares Settlement Notice shall be
valid unless given in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary and in a form acceptable to it. If the outstanding Securities are then issued in definitive form, no Conversion Shares Settlement Notice shall be valid for any purpose
unless the Conversion Shares Depository shall have received the Securities to which it relates, duly endorsed to the Conversion Shares Depository. Each Conversion Shares Settlement Notice must be given in a form acceptable to the Conversion Shares
Depository. 
 (d) Subject to any election pursuant to Section 4.02(c) and satisfaction of the requirements and limitations set forth in
this Section 4.03 and provided that the Conversion Shares Settlement Notice and the relevant Securities, if applicable, are delivered on or before the Notice Cut-Off Date, the Conversion Shares Depository
shall deliver the relevant Conversion Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Conversion Shares) to the Holder or Beneficial Owner (or custodian, nominee, broker or other representative thereof) of the relevant Securities completing the
relevant Conversion Shares Settlement Notice in accordance with the instructions given in such Conversion Shares Settlement Notice on the applicable Settlement Date. 

(e) Each Conversion Shares Settlement Notice shall be irrevocable. The Conversion Shares Depository shall determine, in its sole and absolute
discretion, whether any Conversion Shares Settlement Notice has been properly completed and delivered, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the relevant Holder or Beneficial Owner. If any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the
Securities fails to properly complete and deliver a Conversion Shares Settlement Notice and the relevant Securities, if applicable, prior to the Notice Cut-Off Date, the Conversion Shares Depository shall be
entitled to treat such Conversion Shares Settlement Notice as null and void. 
 (f) Each Security shall be cancelled on the applicable
Cancellation Date. 
 (g) Neither the Company, nor any member of the Group, shall be liable for any taxes or capital, stamp, issue and
registration or transfer taxes or duties arising on Conversion or that may arise or be paid as a consequence of the issue and delivery of Conversion Shares (other than any taxes due by the Company or any member of the Group according to the Dutch
Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969), which tax shall be borne solely by the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities, or, if different, the person to whom the Conversion Shares are delivered). 

Section 4.04 Failure to Deliver a Conversion Shares Settlement Notice. The Conversion Shares Depository shall continue to hold all
Conversion Shares for which it has not received a valid Conversion Settlement Notice (and the related Securities, if applicable) on or prior to the Notice Cut-Off Date until the Final Cancellation Date. Any
Holder or Beneficial Owner (or custodian, nominee, broker or other representative thereof) of Securities delivering a Conversion Shares Settlement Notice

after the Notice Cut-Off Date shall be required to provide evidence of its entitlement to the relevant Conversion Shares, satisfactory to the Conversion
Shares Depository in its sole and absolute discretion, in order to receive delivery of such Conversion Shares. The Company shall have no liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities for any loss resulting from such Holder’s or
Beneficial Owner’s failure to receive any Conversion Shares, or from any delay in the receipt thereof, in each case as a result of such Holder or Beneficial Owner (or custodian, nominee, broker or other representative thereof) failing to duly
submit a valid Conversion Shares Settlement Notice and the relevant Securities, if applicable, on a timely basis or at all. 

Section 4.05 Adjustment of Floor Price. 

(a) The Floor Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Annex I (Anti-Dilution Provisions). 

(b) There shall at all times any Securities are Outstanding be a conversion calculation agent (the “Conversion Calculation
Agent”), which may be the Company or another Person appointed by the Company to serve in such capacity, who shall be responsible in consultation with the Company for the calculation of all adjustments to the Floor Price to be made pursuant
to Annex I (Anti-Dilution Provisions) and all determinations required to be made pursuant thereto. Determinations, calculations and adjustments performed by the Conversion Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) shall
be final and binding (in the absence of bad faith or manifest error) on Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities. To the extent Annex I (Anti-Dilution Provisions) at any time calls for any calculation or determination to be made
by an Independent Conversion Adviser, if the Person then serving as Conversion Calculation Agent is not wholly independent of the Company, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint an Independent Conversion Adviser to make
such calculation or determination. A written opinion of such Independent Conversion Adviser in respect of such calculation or determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities, save
in the case of manifest error. 
 (c) The Company shall give notice of any adjustments to the Floor Price to the Holders of the Securities,
with a copy to the Trustee, and if the Securities are then held in the form of Global Securities shall cause the Depositary to deliver such notice to its participants in accordance with its applicable procedures. 

Section 4.06 Covenants Relating to Conversion Shares. 

(a) For so long as any Security remains Outstanding, the Company shall: 

 

	 	(i)	 not make any issue, grant or distribution or take or omit to take any other action if the effect thereof would
be that, on Conversion, Ordinary Shares could not, under any applicable law then in effect, be legally issued as fully paid; 


  

	 	(ii)	 if any offer is made to all (or as nearly as may be practicable all) shareholders (or all (or as nearly as may
be practicable all) such shareholders other than the offeror and/or any associates of the offeror) to acquire all or a majority of the issued Ordinary Shares, or if a scheme is proposed with regard to such acquisition, give notice of such offer or
scheme to each Holder of any Securities at the same time as any notice thereof is sent to the shareholders (or as soon as practicable thereafter) that details concerning such offer or scheme may be obtained from the specified offices of the Trustee;




  
 - 19 - 














	 	(iii)	 use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion shall be admitted
to listing and trading on the Relevant Stock Exchange; 


  

	 	(iv)	 maintain all corporate authorizations necessary to issue and allot at all times sufficient Ordinary Shares,
free from pre-emptive or other preferential rights, to enable Conversion of the Securities to be satisfied in full; 


  

	 	(v)	 use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to appoint a Conversion Shares Depository as soon as practicable
following the occurrence of a Trigger Event; and 


  

	 	(vi)	 If, at the time of a Conversion the Company has an ADS Depositary Facility in effect, the Company shall ensure
that it has sufficient capacity under its then effective registration statement on Form F-6 (or successor form) to cause the ADS Depositary to issue the number of ADSs corresponding to the number of ADSs that
Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities have elected to receive pursuant to Section 4.02(c). 


 (b) The
Company shall not be required to comply with any obligation set forth in Section 4.06(a)(i) if its compliance with such obligation would violate the Capital Regulations or (ii) to the extent that such compliance would cause a
Regulatory Event to occur. 
 ARTICLE V 

DUTCH BAIL-IN POWER 

Section 5.01 Agreement and Acknowledgment with Respect to Exercise of Dutch Bail-in Power.

 (a) By acquiring any Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Securities or any interest therein acknowledges, agrees to be
bound by and consents to the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority that may result in the cancellation or reduction of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or
interest on, the Securities and/or the conversion of all, or a portion of, the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person, including by means of a
variation to the terms of the Securities or any expropriation of the Securities, in each case to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant Resolution Authority of such Dutch Bail-in Power (whether at the
point of non-viability or as taken together with a resolution action). Each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Securities or any interest therein further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of Holders and
Beneficial Owners of the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, so as to give effect to, the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority. 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 Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority is separate
and distinct from a Conversion following a Trigger Event. In addition, by acquiring any Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Securities or any interest therein further acknowledges, agrees to be bound by, and consents to the exercise
by the Relevant Resolution Authority of any power vary the terms of the Securities, which may include amending the Interest Payment Dates or amount, or to suspend any payment in respect of the Securities for a temporary period. 

  
 - 20 - 













 (b) No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the
Securities shall be come due and payable after the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Company under
the laws and regulations of The Netherlands and the European Union applicable to the Company. 
 (c) Upon the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, the Company shall provide a written notice of such event to DTC (if the Securities are then held by DTC in the form of Global
Securities) for the purposes of notifying Holders of Securities of such occurrence, including the amount of any cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities, with a copy to the Trustee for information
purposes, as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power. Failure to provide such notices will not have any impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such exercise
of the Dutch Bail-in Power. 
 (d) Holders or Beneficial Owners of Securities that acquire them in
the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified herein to the same extent as the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial
issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Securities, including in relation to interest cancellation, the Conversion, the Dutch Bail-in Power and the limitations on remedies specified in Article VI hereof. 
 ARTICLE VI 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

The following provisions shall apply to the Securities in lieu of Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of the Base Indenture and in addition to the other
provisions set forth in Article 5 of the Base Indenture: 
 Section 6.01 Liquidation Event. A Liquidation Event occurring prior
to the occurrence of a Trigger Event shall be the sole Event of Default with respect to the Securities. The principal amount of the Securities shall become immediately due and payable upon an Event of Default with respect to the Securities, without
the need of any further action on the part of the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities or any other Person. 
 Section 6.02
Failure to Pay Principal Amount. Any Holder of a Security (or the Trustee acting on behalf of all Holders of the Securities) may demand payment of the principal amount of the Securities upon a Payment Default. The Trustee may, at its
discretion, in such event institute bankruptcy proceedings in The Netherlands (or such other jurisdiction in which the Company may be organized) (but not elsewhere) against the Company and/or prove in a bankruptcy or liquidation of the Company
and/or claim in a liquidation or administration of the Company. 
 Section 6.03 Performance Obligations. The Trustee may without
further notice institute such proceedings against the Company as it may deem fit to enforce or seek damages for the breach of any Performance Obligation. 

  
 - 21 - 













 Section 6.04 No Other Remedies and Other Terms. 

(a) Other than the limited remedies specified in this Article VI, and subject to Section 6.04(c), no remedy against the Company shall be
available to the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders of the Securities) or to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of such Securities or under the Indenture, or in respect of any
breach by the Company of any of the Company’s obligations under or in respect of the terms of such Securities or under the Indenture in relation thereto; provided that the Company’s obligations to the Trustee under
Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture and the Trustee’s rights to have money collected applied first to pay amounts due to it under such Section pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Base Indenture expressly survive any Default and are not
subject to the subordination provisions of Article VII of this Third Supplemental Indenture. 
 (b) In the case of a Default under the
Securities, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
or her own affairs. For purposes of the Base Indenture, “Event of Default” in respect of the Securities shall mean “Default” as defined in this Third Supplemental Indenture, except that the term “Event of Default” as
used in Section 3.05(b)(ii) of the Base Indenture and Article 8 of the Base Indenture shall mean “Liquidation Event.” 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the limitations on remedies specified under Article VI, (i) the Trustee shall have such powers as are required to be authorized to it under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the rights of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of
the Securities under the provisions of the Indenture, and (ii) nothing shall impair the right of a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Securities under the Trust Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s or Beneficial Owner’s consent, to sue
for any payment due but unpaid with respect to the Securities; provided that, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, any payments in respect of, or arising from, the Securities, including any payments or amounts resulting or arising from the
enforcement of any rights under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the Securities, shall be subject to the subordination provisions set forth in Section 7.01 of this Third Supplemental Indenture. 

Section 6.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

(a) Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Securities waive any past Default that results from a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation. Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall not be entitled to waive any past default that
results from a Liquidation Event or a Payment Default. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of any waiver permitted by Section 6.05(a), such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Default with respect to any series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of the Base Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 ARTICLE VII 

SUBORDINATION AND SET-OFF 

Section 7.01 Subordination. 

(a) The Securities shall constitute the Company’s direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations, ranking equally without any preference
among themselves. The rights and claims of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities in respect of or arising from the Securities shall be subordinated to the claims of holders of Senior Instruments. 

  
 - 22 - 













 (b) If a Liquidation Event occurs prior to a Trigger Event, the Securities shall be
subordinated to Senior Instruments, and rank pari passu with all Parity Instruments. By virtue of such subordination, any payments to the Holders of the Securities upon any Liquidation Event shall only be made after all payment obligations of
the Company in respect of Senior Instruments have been satisfied. The amount of any claim in respect of each Security shall be its principal amount. 

(c) If a Liquidation Event occurs after a Trigger Event but before the Conversion Shares deliverable upon Conversion are issued and delivered
pursuant to Section 4.01, each Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Security shall have a claim, in lieu of any other payment by the Company, for the amount, if any, it would have been entitled to receive if the Conversion relating to such Trigger
Event and the relevant number of Conversion Shares to which such holder would have been entitled had been delivered to such holder had occurred immediately prior to the Liquidation Event. 

Section 7.02 No Set-Off. Subject to applicable law, neither any no Holder or Beneficial
Owner of Securities, nor the Trustee acting on their behalf, may exercise, claim or plead any right of set-off, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by the Company in respect of or
arising under, or in connection with, the Securities or the Indenture and each Holder and Beneficial Owner of Securities, by virtue of its holding of any Securities, and the Trustee acting on their behalf, shall be deemed to have waived all such
rights of set-off, compensation or retention. If notwithstanding the foregoing any amounts due and payable to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of Securities by the Company in respect of, or arising under, the
Securities are discharged by set-off, such Holder or Beneficial Owner shall, subject to applicable law, immediately pay an amount equal to the amount of such discharge to the Company (or, if a Liquidation
Event shall have occurred, the liquidator or administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, until such time as payment is made, shall hold an amount equal to such amount in trust or otherwise for the Company (or the liquidator or
administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, accordingly, any such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place. The foregoing shall not prevent any set-off in order to give effect to a
Conversion. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

ADDITIONAL TRUSTEE PROTECTIONS 

Section 8.01 Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture or the Securities, 

(a) once the Company has delivered a Conversion Notice, (i) no Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Security shall have any rights whatsoever
under the Indenture or the Securities to instruct or direct the Trustee to take any action whatsoever and (ii) as of the date of the Conversion Notice, except for any indemnity and/or security provided by any Holder or by any Beneficial Owner
of the Securities in such direction or related to such direction, any direction previously given to the Trustee by any Holders or by any Beneficial Owners of the Securities shall cease automatically and shall be null and void and of no further
effect; except in each case of (i) and (ii) of this Section, with respect to any rights of Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Securities with respect to any payments under the Securities that were unconditionally due and payable prior to the
date of the Conversion Notice or unless the Trustee is instructed in writing by the Company to act otherwise; 
 (b) the Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on and accept a Trigger Event Officers’ Certificate without any duty whatsoever of further inquiry as sufficient and conclusive evidence of the occurrence of a Trigger Event, and such Trigger Event Officers’
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and each Holder and Beneficial Owner of any Security or interest therein; and 

  
 - 23 - 













 (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to (i) the calculation or accuracy of
the Group CET1 Capital, Group Total Risk Exposure Amount and Group CET1 Ratio in connection with the occurrence of a Trigger Event and the timing of such Trigger Event, (ii) the failure of the Company to provide any information whatsoever in
respect of a Trigger Event to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Security, (iii) any aspect of the Company’s decision to deliver a Conversion Notice or the related Conversion or (iv) the adequacy of the disclosure of these provisions
to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Security or any interest therein or for the direct or indirect consequences thereof. 

Section 8.02 Indemnification by the Company. The Company’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with
Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture shall survive any exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities and any Conversion hereunder. 

ARTICLE IX 

ADDITIONAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS 

OF HOLDERS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS 

By acquiring the Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of a Security or any interest therein, including any Person acquiring any such
Security or interest therein after the date hereof, acknowledges and agrees with and for the benefit of the Company and the Trustee as follows: 

Section 9.01 Dutch Bail-in Power. Such Holder and Beneficial Owner of a Security or any
interest therein: 
 (a) acknowledges and agrees that no exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the
Relevant Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities or cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest on the Securities pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04 shall give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default)
and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (b) to the extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in
either case in accordance with the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities; 

(c) acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant
Resolution Authority, (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Securities under Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture and (ii) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon
the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority. If Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Securities have given a direction to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture prior to the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority, such direction shall cease to be of further effect upon such exercise
of any Dutch Bail-in Power and shall become null and void at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in
Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority, the Securities remain outstanding, then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Company and the
Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment to this Third Supplemental Indenture; and 

  
 - 24 - 













 (d) (i) consents to the exercise of any Dutch
Bail-in Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (ii) authorizes, directs and
requests DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement (x) the Conversion and (y) the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder and such Beneficial Owner. 

Section 9.02 Conversion Upon a Trigger Event. Such Holder or Beneficial Owner consents to the Conversion of its Securities
following a Trigger Event, the appointment of the Conversion Shares Depository, and the issuance of the Conversion Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository, all of which may occur without any further action on the part of such Holder or Beneficial
Owner or the Trustee, and following which no Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Securities will have any rights against the Company with respect to the payment of principal of, or interest on, such Securities. To the extent the Securities are held in
the form of Global Securities, such Holder or Beneficial Owner authorizes, directs and requests the Depositary, any direct participant therein and any other intermediary through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if
required, to implement the Conversion without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or Beneficial Owner or the Trustee. Upon a Trigger Event and Conversion, the principal amount of the Securities may be applied in such manner as
the Company deems necessary in connection with the issue and paying up of the relevant Conversion Shares and the delivery thereof to the Conversion Shares Depository or pursuant to any Alternative Delivery Arrangements. 

Section 9.03 Interest Cancellation. Interest shall be payable on the Securities solely at the discretion of the Company, and no
amount of interest shall become due and payable in respect of the relevant Interest Payment Date or related Interest Period or Redemption Date to the extent that it has been cancelled or deemed cancelled (in whole or in part) by the Company in its
sole discretion and/or as a result of (i) the Company having insufficient Distributable Items, (ii) the relevant interest payment’s causing the Maximum Distributable Amount to be exceeded, or (iii) a Trigger Event or a
Liquidation Event having occurred. A cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise under the terms of the
Securities. 
 Section 9.04 Waiver of Claims. Such Holder or Beneficial Owner unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to each and
every provision of the Indenture and the Securities and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and any other applicable law, any and all claims against the Trustee arising out of its acceptance of its trusteeship for the
Securities, including, without limitation, claims related to or arising out of or in connection with a Trigger Event and/or any Conversion. 

Section 9.05 Successors and Assigns. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the
Securities pursuant to this Article IX shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such Holder or Beneficial Owner.

 ARTICLE X 

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS 

Section 10.01 Additional Amounts. 

(a) All amounts of principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities will be paid by the Company or any successor thereof without
deduction or withholding for any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by the government of The Netherlands, or the government of a jurisdiction in which a successor to the Company is organized or resident for tax purposes, unless such
deduction or withholding is required by applicable law. If deduction or withholding of any of these charges is required by The Netherlands, or by a jurisdiction in which a successor to the Company is organized or resident for tax purposes, the
Company or such successor, as the case may be, will pay as additional interest any additional amounts necessary to make the net amount paid to the affected Holders equal the amount the Holders would have received in the absence of the deduction or
withholding. However, additional amounts will not be paid for: 
  

	 	•	 	 the amount of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any taxing authority of or in the
United States; 


  

	 	•	 	 the amount of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is only payable because:



  

	 	•	 	 a connection, other than the holding or ownership of the capital security or the receipt of interest and
principal thereon, exists between the Holder and The Netherlands (or such jurisdiction in which a successor to the Company is organized or resident for tax purposes); 



 

	 	•	 	 the Holder presented the capital security for payment (where presentation is required) more than 15 days after
the date on which the relevant payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later; 


  

	 	•	 	 the Holder failed to comply, on a timely basis, with a written request of the Company or any successor thereof
for any applicable information or certification that would have, if provided on a timely basis, permitted the payment to be made without withholding or deduction (or with a reduced rate of withholding or deduction); 



 

	 	•	 	 the amount of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax,
duty, assessment or governmental charge; 


  

	 	•	 	 the amount of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by deduction or
withholding from a payment on or in respect of the capital securities; 


  

	 	•	 	 the amount of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that a Holder or Beneficial Owner would have been
able to avoid (but has not so avoided) by presenting and surrendering the relevant capital security to another paying agent (where presentation and surrendering is required); 



  
 - 26 - 














	 	•	 	 the amount of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable by any person acting as custodian
bank or collecting agent on behalf of a Holder, or otherwise in any manner which does not constitute a withholding or deduction by the Company, the Paying Agent or any successor thereof from payments made by it; 



 

	 	•	 	 the amount of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is withheld or deducted by a paying agent
from a payment if the payment could have been made by another paying agent without such withholding or deduction; 


  

	 	•	 	 the amount of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable by reason of a change in law that
becomes effective more than 30 days after the relevant payment becomes due and is made available for payment to the Holders, unless such tax, assessment or other governmental charge would have been applicable had payment been made within such 30 day
period; or 


  

	 	•	 	 any combination of the taxes, assessments or other governmental charges described above. 



In addition, the Company will not pay “additional amounts” to a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or an entity that is not the sole
Beneficial Owner of the payment where the law requires the payment to be included in the income of a beneficiary or settlor for tax purposes with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a Beneficial Owner who would not have been
entitled to such “additional amounts” had it been the Holder. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest, if any, on or in respect of any Capital
Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to the provisions of this Section and as if express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) were made in any provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

(b) In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 10.01(a) above, Additional Amounts will not be paid for the amount of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge which is only payable because the Holder or Beneficial Owner is a related party of the Company and is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges due to being a tax resident of a low-tax jurisdiction including a country that is included in the European Union list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for purposes of any Dutch tax law codified pursuant to
the policy intentions as described in items N151 on page 67 and N154 on page 68 of the Coalition Agreement, as described in the annex of the letter of the Dutch State Secretary for Finance dated February 23, 2018 on pages 10 and 11 and as
referred to in the letter of the Dutch State Secretary for Finance dated October 15, 2018. In the absence of definitive guidance as to whether the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required
by any Dutch tax law referred to in the preceding sentence, by reason of a certain tax jurisdiction having to be or being considered a low-tax jurisdiction, the term
low-tax jurisdiction will be interpreted in the Company’s reasonable judgment, in accordance with the relevant statutory language, any implementing regulations, any interpretative guidance provided by the
relevant authorities and any other sources generally accepted, or relied on, for the purpose of interpreting Dutch tax law at the time of the actual payment. 

(c) Additional Amounts shall only be paid in the event that deduction or withholding relates to interest payments (and not payments of
principal), and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.04 above.

Dividend which the Shareholders would or could otherwise have elected to receive, (2) where the Company’s shareholders may elect to receive a Cash Dividend in lieu of such Ordinary Shares or (3) where any such Ordinary Shares are or
are expressed to be issued in lieu of a Dividend (whether or not a Cash Dividend equivalent or amount is announced or would otherwise be payable to Shareholders, whether at their election or otherwise), the Floor Price shall be adjusted by

	 	(iii)	 


  

	 	(A)	 If and whenever the Company shall pay any Extraordinary Dividend to its shareholders, the Floor Price shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

	 	A	 is the Current Market Price of one ordinary share on the Effective Date; 



 

	 	B	 is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Extraordinary Dividend attributable to one ordinary
share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Extraordinary Dividend by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the relevant Dividend; and 



 

	 	C	 is an amount equal to: 



 

	 	(a)	 in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend falling under part (i) of the definition of Extraordinary
Dividend, zero; or, 


  

	 	(b)	 in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend falling under part (ii) of the definition of Extraordinary
Dividend, the amount (if any) by which the Reference Amount in respect of the Relevant Year exceeds an amount equal to the aggregate of the Fair Market Values of any previous Cash Dividends (other than any Cash Dividends falling under part
(i) of the definition of Extraordinary Dividend) per ordinary share of the Company paid or made in respect of such Relevant Year (where C shall equal zero if such previous Cash Dividends per ordinary share of the Company are equal to, or
exceed, the Reference Amount in respect of the Relevant Year). For the avoidance of doubt, “C” shall equal the Reference Amount determined in respect of the Relevant Year where no previous Cash Dividends (other than any Cash Dividends
falling under part (i) of the definition of Extraordinary Dividend) per ordinary share of the Company have been paid or made in respect of such Relevant Year. 



Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant
Extraordinary Dividend can be determined. 
 “Effective Date” means, for purposes of this paragraph (iii)(A), the first
date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-the relevant Cash Dividend on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

 where: 
  

	 	A	 is the Current Market Price of one ordinary share on the Effective Date; and 



 

	 	B	 is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Non-Cash
Dividend attributable to one ordinary share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Non-Cash Dividend by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the
relevant Non-Cash Dividend (or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Ordinary Shares or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Ordinary Shares by or on behalf of the
Company or any member of the Group, by the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following such purchase, redemption or buy back, and treating as not being in issue any Ordinary Shares, or any Ordinary Shares represented by depositary or
other receipts or certificates, purchased, redeemed or bought back).

on behalf of the Company or any member of the Group, the date on which such purchase, redemption or buy back is made (or, in any such case if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Dividend is capable of being
determined as provided herein) or in the case of a Spin-Off, the first date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-the relevant
Spin-Off on the Relevant Stock Exchange. 
  

	 	(C)	 For the purposes of this paragraph (iii) and the definition of “Extraordinary Dividend”, the
Fair Market Value of any Cash Dividend or Non-Cash Dividend shall (subject as provided in paragraph (i) of the definition of “Dividend” and in the definition of “Fair Market Value”) be
determined as at the Effective Date of such Cash Dividend, or, as the case may be, Non-Cash Dividend. 


  

	 	(D)	 In making any calculations for the purposes of this paragraph (iii), such adjustments (if any) shall be made as
an Independent Conversion Adviser may determine in good faith to be appropriate to reflect (i) any consolidation or sub-division of any Ordinary Shares or (ii) the issue of Ordinary Shares by way of
capitalization of profits or reserves (or any like or similar event) or (iii) any increase in the number of Ordinary Shares in issue in the Relevant Year in question.

Conversion Notice is given in relation to the Conversion but before such Ordinary Shares are issued, then the Company shall procure the execution of the corresponding adjustment mechanism under “— Adjustment of Floor Price” above so
that the calculation of the number of Conversion Shares to be issued and delivered to the Conversion Shares Depository takes into account the Floor Price as so adjusted. 

The Company shall not issue any additional Conversion Shares if the Conversion occurs after the record date in respect of any consolidation,
reclassification or sub-division as is mentioned in paragraph (i) of “— Adjustment of Floor Price” above, or the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for

 Conversion
Calculation Agent and Independent Conversion Adviser 
 So long as any Securities are outstanding, there shall at all times be a
Conversion Calculation Agent, which may be the Company or another person appointed by the Company to serve in such capacity, who shall be responsible in consultation with the Company for the calculation of all adjustments to the Floor Price and all
related determinations required to be made in connection therewith. All such calculations and determinations performed by the Conversion Calculation Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities or any
interest therein, save in the case of bad faith or manifest error. If any provision described herein under “Anti-Dilution Provisions” at any time calls for any calculation or determination to be made by an Independent Conversion Adviser,
which may include the Conversion Calculation Agent appointed by the Company to act in such Independent Conversion Adviser capacity, if the person then serving as Conversion Calculation Agent is not wholly independent of the Company, the Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint an Independent Conversion Adviser which is wholly independent of the Company to make such calculation or determination. A written opinion of such Independent Conversion Adviser in respect of such
calculation or determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Securities or any interest therein, save in the case of manifest error. The Company has appointed
Conv-Ex Advisors Limited as the initial Conversion Calculation Agent. The Company may change the Conversion Calculation Agent at any time without prior notice to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the
Securities. 

  
 I-11 














 Annex I 
  

 The Conversion Calculation Agent (if not the Company) shall act solely upon request from, and
solely as agent of, the Company and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust with, and it shall not be liable and shall incur no liability as against, the Holders of Securities. 

Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment to the Floor Price 

On any adjustment, if the resultant Floor Price has more decimal places than the initial Floor Price, it shall be rounded down to the same
number of decimal places as the initial Floor Price. No adjustment shall be made to the Floor Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than 1% of the Floor Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made,
and/or any amount by which the Floor Price has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had
been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made. 
 Notice of any adjustments
to the Floor Price shall be given by the Company to Holders of the Securities via DTC (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, via the Trustee) promptly after the determination thereof and in accordance with Sections 1.05 and 1.06 of the
Base Indenture.

 and provided further that, if on each of the said five dealing days the Volume Weighted Average Price shall have
been based on a price cum-Dividend (or cum- any other entitlement) in respect of a Dividend (or other entitlement) which has been declared or announced but the Ordinary
Shares to be issued and delivered do not rank for that Dividend (or other entitlement), the Volume Weighted Average Price on each of such dates shall, for the purposes of this definition, be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal
to the Fair Market Value of any such Dividend or entitlement per ordinary share as at the date of first public announcement relating to such Dividend or entitlement, and provided further that, if the Volume Weighted Average Price of an
ordinary share is not available on one or more of the said five dealing days (disregarding for this purpose the proviso to the definition of Volume Weighted Average Price), then the average of such Volume Weighted Average Prices which are available
in that five-dealing-day period shall be used (subject to a minimum of two such prices) and if only one, or no, such Volume Weighted Average Price is available in the relevant period, the Current Market Price
shall be determined in good faith by an Independent Conversion Adviser. 
 A “dealing day” means a day on which the
Relevant Stock Exchange or relevant stock exchange or securities market is open for business and on which Ordinary Shares, securities, Spin-Off Securities, options, warrants or other rights (as the case may

“Dividend” means any dividend or distribution to holders of Ordinary Shares (including a
Spin-Off) whether of cash, assets or other property (and for these purposes a distribution of assets includes without limitation an issue of Ordinary Shares or other securities credited as fully or partly paid
up by way of capitalization of profits or reserves), and however described and whether payable out of share premium account, profits, retained earnings or any other capital or revenue reserve or account, and including a distribution or payment to
holders of Ordinary Shares upon or in connection with a reduction of capital provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	 where: 


  

	 	(A)	 a Dividend in cash is announced which may at the election of a shareholder or shareholders of the Company be
satisfied by the issue or delivery of Ordinary Shares or other property or assets, or where a capitalization of profits or reserves is announced which may at the election of a shareholder or shareholders be satisfied by the payment of cash, then the
Dividend in question shall be treated as a Cash Dividend of an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of such cash amount and (B) the Current Market Price of such Ordinary Shares as at the first date on which the Ordinary
Shares are traded ex-the relevant Dividend on the Relevant Stock Exchange or, as the case may be, the record date or other due date for establishment of entitlement in respect of the relevant capitalization
or, as the case may be, the Fair Market Value of such other property or assets as at the date of the first public announcement of such Dividend or capitalization or, in any such case, if later, the date on which the number of Ordinary Shares (or
amount of such other property or assets, as the case may be) which may be issued and delivered is determined; or 



  
 I-13 














 Annex I 
  


	 	(B)	 there shall be any issue of Ordinary Shares by way of capitalization of profits or reserves (including any
share premium account or capital redemption reserve) where such issue is or is expressed to be in lieu of a Dividend (whether or not a Cash Dividend equivalent or amount is announced), or a Dividend in cash that is to be satisfied by the issue or
delivery of Ordinary Shares or other property or assets, the capitalization or Dividend in question shall be treated as a Cash Dividend of an amount equal to the Current Market Price of such Ordinary Shares or, as the case may be, the Fair Market
Value of such other property or assets, as at the first date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-the relevant capitalization or, as the case may be, ex-the
relevant Dividend on the Relevant Stock Exchange or, if later, the date on which the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued and delivered is determined; 


  

	 	(ii)	 any issue of Ordinary Shares as described in paragraph (i) or (ii) under “— Adjustment of Floor
Price” above shall be disregarded; 


  

	 	(iii)	 (A) a purchase or redemption or buy back of share capital of the Company by or on behalf of the Company in
accordance with any general authority for such purchases, redemptions or buy backs approved by a general meeting of shareholders and otherwise in accordance with the limitations prescribed under Dutch law for dealings generally by a company in its
own shares and provided that the price paid for such share capital by or on behalf of the Company shall be within price limits that apply to any safe harbor for share buy-backs by the Company under applicable
insider trading and market manipulation rules (on the Issue Date being Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052) shall not constitute a Dividend and (B) and any other purchase or redemption or buy back of share capital of the Company by
or on behalf of the Company shall not constitute a Dividend unless, in the case of (B) above, the weighted average price per ordinary share (before expenses) on any one day (a “Specified Share Day”) in respect of such purchases
or redemptions or buy backs (translated, if not in the Relevant Currency, into the Relevant Currency at the Prevailing Rate on such day) exceeds by more than 5% the average of the daily Volume Weighted Average Price of an Ordinary Shares on the 5
dealing days immediately preceding the Specified Share Day or, where an announcement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt for these purposes, any general authority for such purchases, redemptions or buy backs approved by a general meeting of
shareholders or any notice convening such a meeting of shareholders) has been made of the intention to purchase, redeem or buy back Ordinary Shares at some future date at a specified price or where a tender offer is made, on the 5 dealing days
immediately preceding the date of such announcement or the date of first public announcement of such tender offer (and regardless of whether or not a price per ordinary share, a minimum price per ordinary share or a price range or a formula for the
determination thereof is or is not announced at such time), as the case may be, in which case such purchase, redemption or buy back shall be deemed to constitute a Dividend in the Relevant Currency in an amount equal to the amount by which the
aggregate price paid (before expenses) in respect of such Ordinary Shares purchased, redeemed or bought back by the Company or, as the case may be, any member of the Group (translated where appropriate into the Relevant Currency as provided above)
exceeds the product of (i) 105% of the daily Volume Weighted Average Price of an ordinary share determined as aforesaid and (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares so purchased, redeemed or bought back; 



  
 I-14 














 Annex I 
  


	 	(iv)	 if the Company or any member of the Group shall purchase, redeem or buy back any depositary or other receipts
or certificates representing Ordinary Shares, the provisions of paragraph (iii) above shall be applied in respect thereof in such manner and with such modifications (if any) as shall be determined in good faith by an Independent Conversion
Adviser; and 


  

	 	(v)	 where a dividend or distribution is paid or made to shareholders pursuant to any plan implemented by the
Company for the purpose of enabling shareholders to elect, or which may require shareholders, to receive dividends or distributions in respect of the Ordinary Shares held by them from a person other than (or in addition to) the Company, such
dividend or distribution shall for the purposes hereof be treated as a dividend or distribution made or paid to shareholders by the Company, and the foregoing provisions of this definition, and the provisions hereof, including references to the
Company paying or making a dividend, shall be construed accordingly.

 (Reverse of Security) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities” and each, a
“Security”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under and governed by the Capital Securities Indenture, dated as of April 16, 2015 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
September 10, 2019 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference,
for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Instruments and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Security, the former shall control for purposes of this Security. 

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to a principal amount of $1,500,000,000, which amount may be
increased at the option of the Company without the consent of the Holders of the Securities of this Series. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof. 

This Security may be redeemed in certain circumstances at the option of the Company as set forth in the Indenture. 

This Security may be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company as set forth in the Indenture. 

Subject to applicable law, no Holder of this Security may exercise, claim or plead any right of
set-off, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by the Company arising under, or in connection with, the Securities and each Holder of Securities shall, by virtue of its holding of any
Securities, be deemed to have waived all such rights of set-off, compensation or retention. 
 The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture
at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series then Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have any right to institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the 

  
 A-4 













 
Trustee in its sole discretion against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Securities of this series then Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.

 Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Security, nothing shall impair the right of a Holder of this Security under the Trust
Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s consent, to sue for any payments due but unpaid with respect to this Security. 
 As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any
place where the principal of this Security is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. Thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due
presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 All terms used
in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 By acquiring the
Securities, the Holder and each Beneficial Owner of this Security, or any interest therein, acknowledges and agrees with and for the benefit of the Company and the Trustee as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	 Dutch Bail-in Power. Such Holder and Beneficial Owner:



  

	 	(a)	 acknowledges and agrees that no exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by
the Relevant Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities or cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest on the Securities pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04 of the Third Supplemental Indenture shall give rise to a default for purposes of
Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act; 



  
 A-5 














	 	(b)	 to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees
not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities; 


  

	 	(c)	 acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in
Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority, (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Securities under Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture and (ii) the Indenture shall
impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority. If Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Securities have given a
direction to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture prior to the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority, such direction shall cease to be of further
effect upon such exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power and shall become null and void at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the Relevant Resolution Authority, the Securities remain outstanding, then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such
completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment to this Third Supplemental Indenture; and 



 

	 	(d)	 (i) consents to the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power as it may be
imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (ii) authorizes, directs and requests DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary
through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement (x) the Conversion and (y) the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power with respect to the
Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder and such Beneficial Owner. 


  

	 	(ii)	 Subsequent Investors’ Agreement. Holders or Beneficial Owners of Securities that acquire them in
the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified herein to the same extent as the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial
issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Securities, including in relation to interest cancellation, the Conversion, the Dutch Bail-in Power and the limitations on remedies specified in Indenture. 


  

	 	(iii)	 Conversion Upon a Trigger Event. Such Holder or Beneficial Owner consents to the Conversion of this
Security following a Trigger Event, the appointment of the Conversion Shares Depository, and the issuance of the Conversion Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository, all of which may occur without any further action on the part of such Holder or
Beneficial Owner or the Trustee, and following which no Holder or Beneficial Owner of this Security will have any rights against the Company with respect to the payment of principal of, or interest on, such Securities. To the extent this Security is
held in the form of a Global Security, such Holder or Beneficial Owner, directs and requests the Depositary, any direct participant therein and any other intermediary through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if
required, to implement the Conversion without any further action or direction on the

part of such Holder or Beneficial Owner or the Trustee. Upon a Trigger Event and Conversion, the principal amount of the Securities may be applied in such manner as the Company deems necessary in
connection with the issue and paying up of the relevant Conversion Shares and the delivery thereof to the Conversion Shares Depository or pursuant to any Alternative Delivery Arrangements. 


 

	 	(iv)	 Interest Cancellation. Interest shall be payable on this Security solely at the discretion of the
Company, and no amount of interest shall become due and payable in respect of the relevant Interest Payment Date or related Interest Period or Redemption Date to the extent that it has been cancelled or deemed cancelled (in whole or in part) by the
Company in its sole discretion and/or as a result of (i) the Company having insufficient Distributable Items, (ii) the relevant interest payment’s causing the Maximum Distributable Amount to be exceeded, or (iii) a Trigger Event
or Liquidation Event having occurred. A cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise under the terms of this
Security. 


  

	 	(v)	 Waiver of Claims. Such Holder or Beneficial Owner unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to each and
every provision of the Indenture and this Security waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and any other applicable law, any and all claims against the Trustee arising out of its acceptance of its trusteeship for the
Securities, including, without limitation, claims related to or arising out of or in connection with a Trigger Event and/or any Conversion. 


  

	 	(vi)	 Successors and Assigns. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by the Holder or Beneficial
Owner of this Security shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such Holder or Beneficial Owner.
