furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 
 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture
shall include: 
 (a) a statement that each Person signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions
herein relating thereto;

opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any 

  

 9 

 
such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, legal advisors, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based

statements, opinions or other instruments under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 1.5 Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, when it is hereby expressly required, to
the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the
manner provided in this Section. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by
the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the
execution thereof. When such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of
any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its
option, by Board Resolution or other means, fix in advance a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company’s discretion. If such a record date 

  

 10 

 
is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but
only the Holders of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities for the purpose of determining whether
Holders of the requisite proportion of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that
purpose the registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date. 
 (d) The
ownership of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be proved by the Undated Subordinated Debt Security Register. 
 (e) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Undated Subordinated Debt Security and the Holder of every Undated
Subordinated Debt Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Undated Subordinated Debt Security or such other Undated Subordinated Debt Security. 
 Section 1.6 Notices, etc. to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration Global Finance Unit and shall be effective
when actually received by the Trustee; or 
 (b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, addressed to it at the address of its registered office specified in the first paragraph of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture
(unless another address has been previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, in which case at the last such address) marked “Attention: Company Secretary.” 
 The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon facsimile transmission of written instructions pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the
party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Depositary Agent in a timely manner, and (ii) such originally executed
instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. 
 Section 1.7 Notice to Holders; Waiver. When this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
Outstanding registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities are affected, if given in writing and mailed, first-class 

  

 11 

 
postage prepaid, to each Holder of a registered Undated Subordinated Debt Security affected by such event in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to reports pursuant to Section 7.3(a) of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. For so long as the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are represented by Global Securities, the Company will deliver a copy of all notices with respect to such series to the Depositary for such Undated
Subordinated Debt Security (or its designee). 
 When notice to Holders of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture provides
for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable
to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 Section 1.8 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture
Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture modifies or excludes any
provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. If at any future
time any provision required to be included herein by the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date as of which this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture was executed or any limitation imposed by the Trust Indenture Act at such date on
any provision otherwise included herein would not be so required or imposed (in whole or in part) if this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture were executed at such future time, the Company and the Trustee may enter into one or more
indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to Section 9.1 to change or eliminate (in whole or in part) such provision or limitation of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture in conformity with the requirements of the Trust Indenture
Act as then in force, except that (subject to Article IX) no provision or limitation required to be included herein by Section 310(a)(1) and (a)(2), Section 315(a), (c), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (e), Section 316(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B),
(a)(2), (a) (last sentence) and (b) of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date as of which this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture was executed may be so changed or eliminated. 
 Section 1.9 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 1.10 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Subordinated Debt Securities that specifically applies in lieu of this Section) payments of interest, if any, or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business

 17 

 All Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to
denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 
 If the forms of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, or any of the terms thereof, are established by action taken by the Board of Directors of the Company, copies of the Board Resolutions in respect thereof shall be delivered
to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order pursuant to Section 3.3 for the authentication and delivery of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
 Section 3.2 Denominations. The Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable in
denominations of $750,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Unless otherwise specified in accordance with Section 3.1, any Global Security issued and delivered to the Holder shall be issued in the form of units with at
least $750,000 principal amount of such Global Security constituting one unit. 
 Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and
Dating. The Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be executed by an Officer of the Company by facsimile or manual signature. Undated Subordinated Debt Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time
the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. The Authenticating Agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. 
 An Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall not be valid until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on
the Undated Subordinated Debt Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Undated Subordinated Debt Security has been authenticated under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, the Company may deliver
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, and the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. In authenticating such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities Indenture in relation to such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that (a) if
the form or terms of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities has or have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such form or terms has or have been established in conformity with the provisions
of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and (b) that such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, when authenticated and 

  

 18 

 
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid
and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting
creditor’s rights generally, general principals of equity, and such other matters as shall be specified therein. 
 Notwithstanding the
provisions of the preceding paragraph, if not all Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel otherwise required at the
time of issuance of each Undated Subordinated Debt Security of such series, but such certificate and opinion, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Undated
Subordinated Debt Security of such series. 
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities if
the issue of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and this Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall have
the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Undated Subordinated Debt Security under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken. 
 Each registered Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 If the Company shall establish Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series or a portion thereof are to be issued in the form of one or more Global
Securities, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series issued in such form and not yet canceled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or the nominee of such
Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or its custodian or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions, and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 
 “Unless and until it is exchanged, in whole or in part, for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in definitive registered form, this Undated
Subordinated Debt Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to
a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.” 
 No Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Undated Subordinated Debt Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by or on behalf of the 

  

 19 

 
Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Undated Subordinated Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that such Undated Subordinated Debt Security is entitled to the benefits of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Undated Subordinated Debt Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 3.9, for all purposes of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture such Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. 
 Section 3.4 Temporary Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of
such series. Temporary Undated Subordinated Debt Securities may be issued as registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in any authorized denomination, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities may determine, all as evidenced by such execution. 
 If temporary Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause, if so required by the terms of such temporary Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the temporary Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder.
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like aggregate principal amount of
definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of the same series of authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions. Until so exchanged, unless otherwise provided therein or in a supplemental indenture relating thereto, the
temporary Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights) under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture as definitive
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

 (a) Global Securities. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register
maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Undated Subordinated Debt Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and of transfers of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Undated Subordinated Debt
Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and transfers of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities as herein provided. 
  

 20 

 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security of any series at an
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions, of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except as set forth in clause (b) below) may be exchanged for other Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions, of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Undated Subordinated Debt Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, as the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Undated Subordinated Debt Security presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Undated Subordinated Debt Security
Registrar duly executed, by the registered Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer or exchange of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, Section 9.6 or Section 11.7 not involving any transfer. 
 If the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Undated Subordinated Debt Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption
of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security of any series selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing such notice, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Undated
Subordinated Debt Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security being redeemed in part. 
 (b) The provisions of this Section 3.5(b) shall apply only to Global Securities unless as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1: 
 (i) Each Global Security authenticated under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture shall be registered in 

  

 21 

 
the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian
therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Undated Subordinated Debt Security for all purposes of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in
whole or in part for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof
unless (A) such Depositary (x) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security, (C) at any time if the Company at its option and in its sole discretion determines that the Global Securities of a particular series should be
exchanged for definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series in registered form or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as
contemplated by Section 3.1. 
 (iii) Subject to clause (ii) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Undated Subordinated Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global
Security shall direct. 
 (iv) Every Security authenticated and made available for delivery upon registration of transfer of,
or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 3.5, Section 3.4, Section 3.6, Section 9.6 or Section 11.7 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in
the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Undated Subordinated Debt Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 Any time the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are not in the form of Global Securities pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the
Company agrees to supply the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certificated Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, without the legend required by Section 3.3, and the Trustee agrees to hold such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in
safekeeping until authenticated and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
  

 22 

 Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. If
any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Undated Subordinated Debt Security (including any Global Security) is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall, in the case of a Undated Subordinated Debt Security,
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Undated Subordinated Debt Security of the same series containing identical terms and provisions and of like amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Undated
Subordinated Debt Security (including any Global Security) and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee
that such Undated Subordinated Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Undated Subordinated
Debt Security a new Undated Subordinated Debt Security of the same series containing identical terms and provisions and of the amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Undated Subordinated Debt Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in
its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Undated Subordinated Debt Security, pay such Undated Subordinated Debt Security. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Undated Subordinated Debt Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Undated Subordinated Debt Security of any series issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Undated Subordinated
Debt Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Undated Subordinated Debt Securities duly
issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
 Section 3.7
Payment; Rights Preserved. 
 (a) Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.1 the Company has no obligation to make any
Payments with respect to any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and failure to make any such payment on any such Payment Date shall not constitute a default by the Company for any purpose, except (and subject to the Solvency Condition)
in the case of an Event of Default and then to the extent (but only to the extent) provided in Section 5.1. 
  

 23 

 (b) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities which are payable, and are paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Undated Subordinated Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Payments upon presentation to a Paying Agent of the Company in respect of the Payments or Arrears
of Interest, if any, to be paid on such Payment Date or, in the case of Global Securities held by any Holder, to the Holder including through a Paying Agent of the Company designated pursuant to Section 3.1 by wire transfer of same-day funds to
the Holder. Any payment of Arrears of Interest on a registered Undated Subordinated Debt Security which is not made on a Payment Date or at Maturity shall be made to the person who is the Holder on the record date established by the Company for such
purpose. 
 In the case of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities where payment is to be made in Dollars, payment at any Paying
Agent’s office outside The City of New York will be made in Dollars by check drawn on, or, at the request of the Holder, by wire transfer of same-day funds to a Dollar account maintained by the payee with, a bank in The City of New York.

 In the case of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities where payment is to be made in a Foreign Currency, payment will be made as
established pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 (c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Undated Subordinated Debt Security
delivered under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall carry the rights to accrued and unpaid Payments and Arrears of
Interest, if any, and to accrue Payments, which were carried by such other Undated Subordinated Debt Security. 
 (d) “Arrears of
Interest” means any Payments in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series not paid on any applicable Payment Date, together with any other Payments in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series not
paid on any other Payment Date, so long as the same remain unpaid, Arrears of Interest will accumulate until paid, but will not bear interest. 
 (e) Arrears of Interest, if any, may be paid at the option of the Company in whole or in part at any time on not less than seven (7) days’ notice to the Trustee. If notice is given by the Company of its intention to pay the whole
or part of the Arrears of Interest on the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall be obliged (subject to the Solvency Condition) to do so upon the expiration of such notice; provided, however, that all Arrears of
Interest in respect of all Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series for the time being Outstanding shall (subject to the Solvency Condition) become due and payable in full on whichever is the earliest of (i) the date upon which a
dividend is next paid on any class of share capital of the Company, (ii) the date fixed for any redemption of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or (iii) the commencement of the winding-up in Ireland of the Company. Where Arrears of
Interest in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are paid in part, each part payment shall be in respect of the full amount of Arrears of Interest accrued relating to the Payment Date or consecutive Payments Dates in
respect of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities furthest from the date of payment. All payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Arrears 

  

 24 

 
of Interest) on or with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities will be conditional upon the Company satisfying the Solvency Condition at the
time of payment and immediately thereafter. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 3.7, the Company shall
be obligated to make a Payment of accrued interest or Arrears of Interest on any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities if on the applicable Payment Date a Capital Disqualification Event has occurred and is continuing; provided,
however, if the Company is simultaneously in breach of Applicable Regulatory Capital Requirements on such Payment Date, the Company may elect not to make a payment on the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a registered Undated Subordinated Debt 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 such Undated Subordinated Debt Security is registered as the owner of such Undated Subordinated Debt Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) any Payments and Arrears of Interest, if any, on such Undated Subordinated Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Undated Subordinated
Debt Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent, from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security. 
 Section 3.9 Cancellation. All Undated Subordinated Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other
Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Undated Subordinated Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee. No Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by the provisions of
the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series or pursuant to the provisions of this 

  

 25 

 
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all cancelled Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in accordance with its
customary procedures or, upon receipt of a Company Request, forward the same to the Company. 
 Section 3.10 Computation of
Payments. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, and as set forth in such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, Payments on the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of
each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 Section 3.11 CUSIP Numbers. The Company
in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly as reasonably practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE IV

DISCHARGE 
 Section 4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. This Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
Indenture with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series when

trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (ii) all Undated Subordinated Debt Securities referred to in clause (i) above not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation 
  

	 	(A)	 are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving 

  

 26 

	 	 
of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, or 

  

	 	(B)	are to be converted for Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities and notice of conversion of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities for Dollar Preference Shares or
Conversion Securities pursuant to Article XIII shall have been given, 

 and the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee, as trust funds in trust for the purpose, an amount in cash, or U.S. Government Obligations (with respect to Undated Subordinated Debt Securities denominated in Dollars) or Foreign Government Securities (with respect to Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities denominated in the same Foreign Currency) maturing, in the case of (A) above, as to principal (and premium, if any) and any accrued Payments and Arrears of Interest, if any, and, in the case of (B) above, as to any accrued

to the date of such deposit (in the case of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Redemption Date or the Conversion Date, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of
such series; and

the Trustee under Section 6.7, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.15 and, if cash, U.S. Government Obligations and/or Foreign Government Securities shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant

Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and accrued but unpaid Payments, if any, and Arrears of Interest, if any, for the payment of which such cash, U.S. Government
Obligations and/or Foreign Government Securities have been deposited with the Trustee.

 ARTICLE V 
 REMEDIES 
 Section 5.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall mean any
one of the following events with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series: 
 (a) if either a court of competent
jurisdiction issues an order which is not successfully appealed within thirty (30) days or an effective shareholders’ resolution is validly adopted for the effective winding-up or dissolution of the Company except in connection with any
transaction permitted under Section 6.13 or otherwise in accordance with this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and not involving a bankruptcy or insolvency; 
 (b) if a default in the payment of any installment of interest upon, or any part of the principal of, and any premium on any Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of that series when the same becomes due and payable, whether upon redemption or otherwise, and such default continues for fourteen (14) days in the case of interest or seven (7) days in the case of principal; or 
 (c) any other Event of Default established pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series occurs.

 For purposes of this Section 5.1, a payment will not be deemed to be due on any date on which the Company does not satisfy the Solvency
Condition. 
 Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Institution of Proceedings. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, then in each and every such case the Trustee or the Holder or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series may declare the principal amount of, any
accrued but unpaid Payments and any Arrears of Interest on the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Holder or Holders), and
upon any such declaration such principal amount, such accrued but unpaid Payments and such Arrears of Interest shall become immediately due and payable. In the case of an Event of Default of the type referred to in Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c),
as applicable, the Trustee or a majority of the Holders of Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series may then also institute proceedings, but take no other action in respect of such Event of Default, for the winding-up of the
Company in Ireland (but not elsewhere) and prove a claim in such winding-up (or any other winding-up instigated) to enforce the obligations of the Company in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series; provided,
however, that no repayment in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any such series may be made otherwise than during or after our winding-up, except with the prior written consent of the Financial Regulator, if required.

 Section 5.3 Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default for any series of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, but
subject to any restrictions or limitations otherwise contained in this Undated Debt Securities Indenture, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including the institution of proceedings in Ireland (but not elsewhere) for the winding-up of the Company. 
 The Trustee and Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities by their acceptance thereof will be deemed to have waived any right of set-off or
counterclaim with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture that they may otherwise have against the Company. 
 No recourse for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on any Undated Subordinated Debt
Security, or for any claim based thereon and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, or in any Undated Subordinated Debt Security, or because of the
creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future of the Company or of any successor corporation of the Company, either directly or through the Company
or any successor corporation of the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, it being expressly understood that to the extent lawful all such liability
is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and the issue of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
 Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, examinership, insolvent restructuring, scheme of arrangement, arrangement, adjustment, composition or winding-up (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”) or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor
upon the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series or to the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors (other than under or in 

  

 29 

 
connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency), the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue
principal (and premium, if any) or Payments and Arrears of Interest, if any) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have
claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys and other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, examiner or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of an Undated Subordinated Debt Security to make such payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders or holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.9. 
 Subject to Article VIII and Section 9.2, nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting
any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder in any such proceeding; provided that the Trustee
may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 The provisions of this Section 5.4 are subject to the provisions of Section 12.1. 
 Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. The provisions of this Section 5.5 are subject to the provisions of Section 12.1. All rights of action and claim under
this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (subject, with regard to the Company, to the provisions of Section 12.1) be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12.1, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money on account of principal (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, upon presentation of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and
upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  

 30 

 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.8; 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on such
series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and Payment and Arrears of Interest, if any, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the payment
of the balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons legally entitled thereto. 
 Section 5.7 Limitation on
Suits. No Holder of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing
Event of Default with respect to Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of the same series specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 
 (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name, as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c)
such Holder of an Undated Subordinated Debt Security has offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;

 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series; and 
 (f) in the case of a proceeding
for the winding-up of the Company in Ireland, such proceeding is in the name and on behalf of the Trustee to the same extent (but no further or otherwise) as the Trustee would have been entitled so to do; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a particular series shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue of, or by availing of any provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other such Holders or holders or to enforce any right under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, except in the manner herein 

  

 31 

 
provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest, if any. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, the Holder of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive (subject to Section 5.2) payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and any Payment or Arrears of Interest, if any, on such Undated Subordinated Debt Security when due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and as expressed in such Undated
Subordinated Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption or conversion, on the Redemption Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the
consent of such Holder or holder. 
 Section 5.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of any Undated
Subordinated Debt Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely
to the Trustee or to such Holder or holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be restored severally and respectively
to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities may
be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12 Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, provided that

 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture; 

 

 32 

 (b) such direction shall not be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of any Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series not taking part in the direction, as determined by the Trustee; and 
 (c) the Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Events of Default. The
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series may; on behalf of the Holders of all the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series; waive any past
Event of Default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except an Event of Default 
 (a) in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or Payments (including Arrears of Interest, if any) on any Undated Subordinated Debt Security of such series, or 
 (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to any series arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Undated
Subordinated Debt Security by his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant to such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not
apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal (or premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on any Undated Subordinated Debt Security on or after the dates upon which such Payments or Arrears of
Interest become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof or the terms expressed in such Undated Subordinated Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption or conversion, on or after the Redemption Date or the Conversion Date, as the case may be).

 Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture; and 

  

 33 

 
the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture
Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

 Section 6.2 Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this 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 its own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default: 
 (i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
others. 
 (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether
or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 Section 6.3 Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the
occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder with respect to Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.7 to Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series notice of such Event of Default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived before the mailing or publication of such notice; provided, however, that except
in the case of an Event of Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium if any) or interest, if any, on any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding such notice if and so long
as the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee determine in good faith 

  

 34 

 
that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 6.4 Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,

 (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any
action or resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (c) whenever in the
administration of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be
herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate; 
 (d)
the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (f) the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other evidence
of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit at a reasonable cost to the Company and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; provided that the Trustee shall not be entitled to such information which the Company is prevented from disclosing as a matter of law or contract; 
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys
and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent (other than an officer or employee of the Trustee) or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 
  

 35 

 (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture; 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture; 
 (j) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously
delivered and not superseded; and 
 (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including,
without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder. 
 Section 6.5 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, except that the Trustee represents and warrants that it has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture.
Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 6.6 May Hold Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Undated
Subordinated Debt Security Registrar and any Calculation Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and, subject to Section 6.9 and
Section 6.14, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Undated Subordinated Debt Security Registrar, Calculation Agent or such other agent. However, the
Trustee is subject to Section 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 6.7 Money Held in Trust. Money held by
the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the
Company. 
 Section 6.8 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 
 (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as agreed in writing by the Company from time to
time 

  

 36 

 
(which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 
 (c) to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee
and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claims, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder but
excluding any tax liabilities of the Trustee based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee. 
 The provisions of this
Section 6.8(c) shall survive termination of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing of the commencement of any action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought promptly after the Trustee becomes aware of such commencement (provided that the failure to
make such notification shall not affect the Trustee’s rights hereunder) and the Company shall be entitled to participate in, and to the extent it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be entitled to separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel if a conflict of interest arises or exists between the Company and the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not compromise or settle any such action or claim without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a senior claim to which the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities are hereby made subordinate, upon all
property of funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
 Section 6.9 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities Indenture. 
 Section 6.10 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. This Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
Indenture shall at all times have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the 

  

 37 

 
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 Section 6.11 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.12. 
 (b) The Trustee
may resign at any time with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.12 shall not
have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 (d) If at any time: 
 (i) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.9 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of an Undated Subordinated Debt Security of the series as to which the Trustee has a conflicting
interest for at least six (6) months, or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.10 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of an Undated Subordinated Debt Security for at least six (6) months, or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge, or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (x) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to any or all series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or
(y) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of an Undated Subordinated Debt Security for at least six (6) months (and, in the case of subparagraph (d)(i) above, who is a Holder of an Undated Subordinated
Debt Security of the series as to which the Trustee has a conflicting interest) may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Undated 

  

 38 

 
Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series (it being understood that any successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more or all of such series and at any time there shall be
only one Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any particular series), and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.12. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.12, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any
series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter required by Section 6.12, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
an Undated Subordinated Debt Security of such series for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the
Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 1.7. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 (g) If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within sixty
(60) days after giving of a notice of removal of the Trustee, the Trustee being removed may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. 
 Section 6.12 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, every such successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee, all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder. 
  

 39 

 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such
series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of
the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 6.13 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto. In case any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
  

 40 

 Section 6.14 Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a
creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such
other obligor). 
 Section 6.15 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may at any time appoint an Authenticating Agent
or Agents with respect to one or more series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series upon original issue, or issued upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or in lieu of destroyed, lost or stolen Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, and Undated Subordinated Debt Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture to the authentication
and delivery of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation or national banking association organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State or District of Columbia authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation or national banking association into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation or national banking association shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable
to the Company and shall give notice to the Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.7. 

  

 41 

 
Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series may have
endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 
 CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION 
 This is one of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of the series designated herein referred to
in the within-mentioned Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. 
  

			
	THE BANK OF NEW YORK,
	 as Trustee

		 	as Authenticating Agent
		
	 By:
	 	  

		 	Authorized Signatory

 If all of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series may not be originally issued
at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Undated Subordinated Debt Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such
series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 1.3 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this
Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect of such series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
 Section 6.16 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. The Trustee may request from the Company by written application to the Chief Executive Officer, the Finance Director, the
Treasurer, the Chief Accounting Officer, the Chief Financial Controller (or, in each case, any officer with similar title and status) for written instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and the date on or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a
proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date any such officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any
such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the 

  

 42 

 
effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be
taken or omitted. 
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war
(whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, strikes, work stoppages, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, fire, riot, embargo, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware)
services, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.

Securities and this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and the performance or observance of every covenant of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed; 
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary

have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

  

 45 

 Section 8.2 Successor Person Substituted. Upon any consolidation, amalgamation or merger or
any conveyance or transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 8.1, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or amalgamation or into which the Company is merged
or the Person to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities.

 Section 8.3 Assumption of Obligations. With respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of the Company (a “successor entity”) may without the consent of any Holder assume the obligations of the Company (or any Person which shall have previously assumed the obligations of the Company) for the due and punctual
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and Payments and Arrears of Interest, if any, on any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in accordance with the provisions of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and this Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and the performance of every covenant of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture and such series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities on the part of the Company to be performed or observed,
provided that: 
 (a) the successor entity shall expressly assume such obligations by an amendment to the Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities Indenture, executed by the Company and such successor entity, if applicable, and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall, by amendment to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture,
irrevocably guarantee (such guarantee to be given on a subordinated basis consistent with Article XII hereof) all of the obligations of such successor entity under the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and the Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities Indenture as so modified by such amendment (provided, however, that, for the purposes of the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 10.4 in respect of the Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities, references to such successor entity’s country of organization will be added to references to Ireland); 
 (b) such successor entity shall confirm in such amendment to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture that such successor entity will pay all Additional Amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 10.4 in respect of all the
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities (provided, however, that for these purposes such successor entity’s country of organization will be substituted for the references to Ireland); 
 (c) immediately after giving effect to such assumption of obligations, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both,
would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such assumption complies with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such assumption have been complied with. 
  

 46 

 Upon any such assumption, the successor entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Company under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture with respect to any such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company in this
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, and the Company or any legal and valid successor corporation which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed herein, shall be released from all liability as obligor upon any such
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities except as provided in clause (a) of this Section. 
 In the event of any such assumption, any
Additional Amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 10.4 will be payable in respect of Taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which the successor entity is organized (subject to exceptions equivalent to those that apply to any obligation to
pay Additional Amounts in respect of Taxes imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction) rather than Taxes imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction; provided, however, that if the Company makes payment under the guarantee, the Company shall be
required to pay Additional Amounts related to Taxes (subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 10.4) imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction by reason of such payments. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of whether the Solvency Condition has been satisfied in accordance with Section 12.1(b) shall,
notwithstanding such assumption, continue to be made with reference to the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.

subordination provisions of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or the terms and conditions of the obligations of the Company in respect of the due and punctual payment of any amounts due and payable on the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities.

 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any
covenant or other provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the
Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture of the Holders of Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities of any other series.

 Section 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional
trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall
not be obliged to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby, except as otherwise expressed therein. 
 Section 9.5 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Company and such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities may be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series.

 COVENANTS 
 Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium, Payments and Arrears of Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series
of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities that it will (subject to Section 3.7 and Section 12.1) duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and Payments and Arrears of Interest, if any, on the Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of that series when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. 
 Section 10.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities an office or agency where Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series and this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture may be served; provided, however, that at the option
of the Company in the case of registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, payment of any Payments or Arrears of Interest thereon may be made by check 

  

 50 

 
mailed to the address of the Person entitled herein as such address shall appear in the Undated Subordinated Debt Security Register, unless such person
requests payment by wire transfer pursuant to Section 3.7. With respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, such office or agency in each Place of Payment shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, and if not
so specified, initially shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series and this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and
any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York)
where the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of any obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment (except as otherwise indicated in this Section) for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series for such purposes.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Section 10.3 Money for Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, it will, on or before each
due date for payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on any of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
in accordance with the provisions of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have
one or more Paying Agents for any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, it will, prior to each due date for payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest on any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of
that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) of Payments or Arrears of Interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium
or Payments or Arrears of Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or its failure so
to act. The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
  

 51 

 (a) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and hold all
sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest on Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto in accordance with the
provisions of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
 (b) give the Trustee timely notice of any Event of Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series) in the making of any payment, when due and payable, or
principal of (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest on Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series; and 
 (c) at
any time during the continuance of any such Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at the time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or for
any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held
by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on any Undated Subordinated Debt Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest have become due and payable shall
be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall
not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company. 
 Section 10.4 Additional Amounts. Unless otherwise specified in any Board Resolution establishing the terms of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series in accordance with Section 3.1, any
amounts to be paid by the Company on any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities will be paid without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges
(“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of Ireland (each the “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If any such Taxes shall at any time
be required by the Taxing Jurisdiction to be deducted or withheld, the Company will pay such additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of (and premium, if any) and Payments and Arrears of Interest on, such series of Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order 

  

 52 

 
that the net amounts paid to the Holders of such series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, after such deduction or withholding, shall equal the
respective amounts of principal (and premium, if any) and Payments and Arrears of Interest, if any, which would have been payable in respect of such series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities had no such deduction or withholding been required,
provided that the foregoing will not apply to any such Taxes that would not have been payable or due but for the fact that (i) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities is a domiciliary, national or
resident of, or engages in business or maintains a permanent establishment or is physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction thus requiring such deduction or withholding of Taxes, or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction
other than the holding or ownership of the relevant Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, or the collection of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of (and premium, if any) or any Payments or Arrears of Interest on, any Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities of the relevant series, (ii) except in the case of a winding-up of the Company in Ireland the relevant Undated Subordinated Debt Securities are presented for payment in Ireland, (iii) the relevant Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities are presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting
the same for payment at the close of such 30-day period, (iv) the Holder or the beneficial owner of the relevant Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of (and premium, if
any) or any Payments or Arrears of Interest on such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or other requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connection with the taxing jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such claim or compliance is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such
Taxes, (v) such Taxes are imposed on a payment to an individual and are required to be made pursuant to the Directive on the Taxation of Savings 2003/48/EC (the “Directive”) adopted by the Council of the European Union (the
“Council”) on June 3, 2003, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive, (vi) the relevant Undated Subordinated Debt Securities are presented for payment by or on behalf of a
Holder who would have been able to avoid such Taxes by presenting the relevant Undated Subordinated Debt Securities to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union or elsewhere or (vii) if such Taxes would not have been so
imposed, or would have been excluded pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) above inclusive, if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities had been the Holder of
such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. Whenever in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or any Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on
or in respect of any Undated Subordinated Debt 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.

 Section 10.5 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

expiration of any provision restricting such redemption provided in the terms of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or elsewhere in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with or waiver of such provision. 
 Section 11.3 Selection by Trustee of Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Undated Subordinated Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than
forty-five (45) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for registered Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series or any multiple thereof) of the
principal amount of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of
this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall relate in the case of any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such registered Undated Subordinated Debt Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be a Payment Date) accrued but unpaid Payments (and any Arrears of Interest accumulated to such Redemption Date) on, all the Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.6 Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Payable on Redemption
Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in Section 11.4, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from

Redemption Date. Upon surrender of any such Undated Subordinated Debt Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Undated Subordinated Debt Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued but
unpaid Payments to the Redemption Date and Arrears of Interest, if any, accumulated to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1, a Payment which is payable on a Payment Date which is on or before the Redemption Date, shall be payable to the Holders of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, or one or more 

  

 55 

 
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the terms of the Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities and the provisions of Section 3.7. The obligation of the Company to redeem Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series on a Redemption Date shall be subject to the Solvency Condition. 
 If any Undated Subordinated Debt Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium
shall, until paid, continue to accrue interest from and after the Redemption Date in accordance with the terms of such Undated Subordinated Debt Security and the provisions of Section 3.7.

part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, only in the case of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Undated Subordinated Debt Security
without service charge, a new Undated Subordinated Debt Security or Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Undated Subordinated Debt Security so surrendered. 
 Section 11.8 Optional Redemption Due
to Changes in Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and subject to satisfaction of the Solvency Condition, the Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of any series will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty-five (45) days’ written notice to the Trustee and notice to the Holders in accordance
with Section 11.4, on any Payment Date (at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities together with any accrued but unpaid Payments and all Arrears of Interest, if any, in respect of
such series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities to the date fixed for redemption) and any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities convertible into Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities of the Company may, at the option of the Company,
be converted as a whole, if at any time the Company shall determine that as a result of a change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of the Taxing Jurisdiction (including any treaty to which such Taxing Jurisdiction is a party), or a change
in an official application or interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a decision of any court or tribunal), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date specified pursuant to Section 3.1 relating to such series
and, in the event that any successor entity has assumed the obligations of the Company, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of such assumption of the Company’s obligations: (a) in making any payments of
principal amount of or Payments or Arrears of Interest on such particular series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, the Company or any such successor entity that has assumed the obligations of the Company has paid or will or would on the next
Payment Date be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect thereto, or (b) the Company or any such successor entity would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of such Payments in computing its taxation liabilities. In any case
where the Company shall determine that as a result of either this Section 11.8 or Section 11.9 it is entitled to redeem Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall be 

  

 56 

 
required to deliver to the Trustee prior to the giving of any notice of redemption a written legal opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing
(selected by the Company) in a form satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that the Company is entitled to exercise its right of redemption under this Section 11.8 or Section 11.9. 
 The successor entity that assumes the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 8.3 shall also be entitled to redeem the Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities of relevant series in accordance with this Section 11.8 with respect to any change or amendment to, or change in the application or interpretation of the laws or regulations (including any treaty) of the successor entity’s
jurisdiction of incorporation which change or amendment occurs subsequent to the date of any such assumption. 
 Section 11.9
Optional Redemption Due to Issuance of Definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and subject to
satisfaction of the Solvency Condition, each series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty-five (45) days’
written notice to the Trustee and notice to the Holders in accordance with Section 11.4, on any Payment Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid Payments and all Arrears of Interest, if
any, in respect of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities to the date fixed for redemption, if the Company shall be required pursuant to either Section 3.5(b)(ii)(A)(x) or Section 3.5(b)(ii)(A)(y) to exchange the Global Securities of
such series for definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities and as a result the Company (or such successor entity) is or would be required on the next succeeding Payment Date to pay Additional Amounts with respect thereto. In any case where the
Company (or any successor entity) shall determine that as a result of being required to issue definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities it is entitled to redeem the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, the Company shall be required to deliver
to the Trustee prior to the giving of any notice of redemption a written legal opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing (selected by the Company) in a form satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that the Company (or such successor
entity) is entitled to exercise its right of redemption. 
 Section 11.10 Approval of Financial Regulator. Unless otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect of any series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, the Company shall not redeem or repurchase any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities without obtaining the prior written consent of the
Financial Regulator, if required. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 SUBORDINATION OF UNDATED SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES 
 Section 12.1 Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities Subordinate to Senior Claims. 
 (a) The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of each series, by his or her acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article XII, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and the payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any), and Payments, and Arrears of Interest, if any, on each 

  

 57 

 
and all of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series are hereby expressly made subordinate and constitute subordinated obligations of the
Company insofar as they shall be subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all claims of Senior Creditors and Senior Subordinated Creditors and conditional upon the Solvency Condition being satisfied at the time of payment by the
Company, and no principal (or premium, if any) Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series which under the terms of such series or the provisions of this Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities would otherwise be due for payment when the Solvency Condition (whether or not in the course of an Insolvency Proceeding) is not satisfied shall be due and payable, and instead such principal, (and premium, if any) Payments or Arrears of
Interest, if any, will become due and payable only if and when and to the extent that the Company could make such payment in whole or in part and still satisfy the Solvency Condition (whether or not in the course of an Insolvency Proceeding)
immediately thereafter. No amount will be payable to the Holders of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series until the claims of the Senior Creditors and the Senior Subordinated Creditors have been satisfied or provided for in full.
Any amounts in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series paid to the Trustee in the course of an Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Company will be held by the Trustee subject to paragraph (b) below. 
 (b) The Undated Subordinated Debt Securities will constitute the Company’s direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations and rank equally without
any preference among themselves. The claims of Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities will be subordinated, in the event of an Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Company, in right of payment to the claims of the Company’s Senior
Creditors and Senior Subordinated Creditors. Any payments on any series of the Company’s Undated Subordinated Debt Securities will be conditional upon the Company meeting the Solvency Condition at the time of payment and satisfying the Solvency
Condition immediately after payment. If at any time an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for an Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Company in Ireland (except as may be permitted in Section 6.13), amounts payable on the
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities will be the amount, if any, as would have been payable to the Holders of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities if, on the day prior to the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Company and
thereafter, Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities were the holders of a class of the Company’s preference shares having a preferential right to a return of assets in an Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Company over holders of all
issued shares for the time being in the Company’s capital, on the assumption that such preference share was entitled to receive a return of assets in an Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Company an amount equal to the principal amount of
the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date of repayment and any Arrears of Interest in relation to the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. 
 A report as to the Company’s solvency by two directors of the Company or (in the case of the optional redemption by the Company of all or some of
the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of the series or a purchase of any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of the series beneficially by or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or if two directors of the Company have not
reported as mentioned below) the Auditors, or (if the Company is in winding-up in Ireland) the liquidator of the Company, or (if the Company is in examinership), the examiner of the Company, shall absent proven error, be treated and accepted by the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders as correct and sufficient evidence of such satisfaction of the Solvency Condition. 
  

 58 

 (c) The provisions of this Section shall apply only to the payment of principal (and premium, if any),
Payments and Arrears of Interest, if any, in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series and nothing herein shall affect or prejudice the payment of the costs, charges, expenses, liabilities or remuneration of the Trustee or
the rights and remedies of the Trustee in respect thereof. 
 (d) The provisions of this Section shall not be applicable to any amounts of
principal (and premium, if any) or Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series for the payment of which funds have been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or have
been set aside by the Company in trust; provided, however, that at the time of such deposit or setting aside, and immediately thereafter, the foregoing provisions of this Section are complied with. 
 (e) If the Trustee, any Holder of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities receives any part of moneys in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
and the Trustee has not, prior to receiving such payment, been provided with a report in compliance with paragraph (b) above, payment of such moneys or, as the case may be, such part thereof as would or did cause the Company to fail to satisfy
the Solvency Condition both at the time of and immediately after such payment shall be deemed null and void and such payment or, as the case may be, such part thereof shall be held by the Trustee, such Holder, as the case may be, upon trusts to be
applied in payment to the Company. Each Holder of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, by the acceptance thereof, agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of this Section and irrevocably authorizes the liquidator or other person
distributing the assets of the Company or their proceeds in connection with a winding-up of the Company to perform on behalf of such Holder or holder the subordination trusts set forth in this paragraph (g) in the event that such Holder or
holder shall assert a claim for payment under any of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities directly to the liquidator or other such person and not through the Trustee, and to file any claims and take all such action, in the name of such Holder or
holder or otherwise, as the liquidator or other such person may determine to be necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of the subordination provisions and the provisions of this paragraph (g), and each Holder or holder will also execute and
deliver such further instruments confirming such authorization and such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments as may be requested by the liquidator or other such person or as required by law in order to
enable the liquidator or other such person to give effect to or enforce any and all claims upon or in respect of the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Arrears of Interest, if any, in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities. 
 Section 12.2 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Article XII are and are intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of each series on the one hand and the Senior Creditors and Senior Subordinated Creditors on the other hand. Nothing contained in this
Article or elsewhere in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or in such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the
holders of such claims the principal of (and premium, if any) and Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms and this Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture; or (b) affect the rights against the Company of the Holders of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of the
series from exercising all 

  

 59 

 
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture. 
 Section 12.3 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of an Undated Subordinated Debt Security by his or her acceptance thereof
authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee his or
her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 Section 12.4 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of any
present or future Senior Creditors or Senior Subordinated Creditors to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure
to act, in good faith, by any such Senior Creditor or Senior Subordinated Creditor or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture, regardless of any knowledge
thereof any such Senior Creditor or Senior Subordinated Creditor may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 Section 12.5 Notice to
Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment when due to or by the Trustee in respect of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a
series. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture but subject to the provisions of Section 12.1, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment when due to or by the Trustee in respect of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a
Senior Creditor or from any trustee therefore; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that
no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become
payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of and any premium and Payments or Arrears of Interest, if any, on any Undated Subordinated Debt Security), then, subject to the provisions of Section 12.1,
the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within three
(3) Business Days prior to such date. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the
delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a Senior Creditor or a trustee therefor, to establish that such notice has been given by a Senior Creditor or a trustee therefor. In the event that the Trustee determines in
good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a Senior Creditor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of claims held by such Person, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive
such payment. 
 Section 12.6 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Holders of the Undated Subordinated Debt 

  

 60 

 
Securities of the series shall be entitled to rely upon (a) any order or decree entered by any court in Ireland (but not elsewhere) in which such
Insolvency Proceeding, including a proceeding for the suspension of payments under Irish law, is pending, or (b) a certificate of the liquidator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee, the Holders of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the Senior Creditors and other claims against the Company, the
amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. 
 Section 12.7 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Senior Creditors. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Senior Creditors and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over
or distribute to Holders of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any Senior Creditors shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. 

Section 12.8 Rights of Trustee as Senior Creditor; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights. The Trustee in its individual capacity (and if a
Senior Creditor) shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any claims of Senior Creditors which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other Senior Creditor, and nothing in this Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
 Nothing in this Article shall apply
to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.8. 
 Section 12.9 Article Applicable to Paying
Agents. At all times when a Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however,
that Section 12.8 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 
 Section 12.10 Conversions Not Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article XII only, delivery of Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities upon conversion of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in accordance with
Article XIII, if applicable to a particular series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities or on account of the purchase
or other acquisition of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture or in the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities is intended to or shall impair, as
among the Company, its creditors and the Holders of the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, the right, which is applicable to a particular series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities is absolute and unconditional, of the Company to convert the
Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in accordance with Article XIII. 
 Section 12.11 Rights of the Company. Nothing contained
in this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture shall in any way restrict the right of the Company to 

  

 61 

 
issue or guarantee obligations ranking in priority to or pari passu with or junior to the obligations of the Company in respect of the Undated Subordinated
Debt Securities. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 CONVERSION OF UNDATED SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES 
 Section 13.1 Applicability of Article. Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall be convertible on any Payment Date as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on
the basis of the principal amount of each Undated Subordinated Debt Security, into an equivalent amount in liquidation preference of the series of Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities specified pursuant to Section 3.1 and (except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 13.2 Election to Convert; Notice to Trustee. An election of the Company to convert Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate furnished to the Trustee stating that the
Company is entitled to effect such conversion and setting forth a statement of facts demonstrating the same. 
 Section 13.3 Notice
of Conversion. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any date fixed for conversion of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series (the
“Conversion Date”), the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of its election to convert the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. The Trustee shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from the
Company, but in no event less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Conversion Date, cause notice of such election to be mailed at the expense of the Company to each Holder of registered Undated Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series to be exchanged in accordance with Section 1.7. 
 All notices of conversion shall state: 
 (a) the Conversion Date; 
 (b) that on the
Conversion Date, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities to be converted will cease to exist for any purpose on or after such Conversion Date; 
 (c) if less than all the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are to be converted, the identification (which shall be selected individually in lots of $750,000 principal amount each) of the particular Undated
Subordinated Debt Securities to be converted, which Undated Subordinated Debt Securities shall be selected by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series not previously called for conversion, by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for conversion of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series or any multiple thereof) of the
principal amount of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of that series; 
  

 62 

 (d) the place or places where such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities are to be surrendered for
conversion; and 
 (e) the form in which the Company will issue the Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities. 
 Notice of any conversion of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, pursuant to a Company
Request by the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 13.4 Deposit of Payments. Prior to any
exchange date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money sufficient to pay accrued Payments to the Conversion Date plus Arrears of Interest, if any, accumulated to the Conversion Date on all Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
of such series. 
 Section 13.5 Surrender of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities. Any Undated Subordinated Debt Security which
is to be converted shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2 not less than ten (10) days prior to the Conversion date (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing) accompanied by written notice specifying the
Persons (a) in the case of Dollar Preference Shares, to whom Preference Shares are to be registered and issued or (b) in the case of Conversion Securities, to whom such Conversion Securities are to be issued. The Trustee will inform the
Company of all such notices and the Company will, if applicable, direct the ADR Depositary accordingly under the terms of the ADR Deposit Agreement. Undated Subordinated Debt Securities surrendered for conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for delivery by it to the Company or, if delivered to the Trustee, shall be delivered by it to the Company. 
 Section 13.6 Issuance of Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities. On the Conversion Date with respect to Global Securities of a series, and on or prior to the Conversion Date with respect to
definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series, in each case surrendered for conversion as provided in Section 13.5, the Company shall, in the case of Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities, deliver or procure the
delivery of the Dollar Preference Shares or the Conversion Securities to the Trustee or to such other Person as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 The Company shall, on or prior to the Conversion Date, with respect to definitive Undated Subordinated Debt Securities, deliver or procure the delivery of individual certificates representing the Dollar Preference
Shares or Conversion Securities (or evidencing the rights to receive such Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities) of such series for which such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities are to be converted in accordance with the provisions of
this Article XIII, in the case of Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities to and registered in the names of the Holders of such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities in definitive form as they appear on the Undated Subordinated Debt
Security Register or, at the direction of such Holder, in the name of the ADR Custodian for the account and benefit of the ADR Depositary who will issue ADRs evidencing ADSs representing the Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities to such
Holder. 
  

 63 

 Any conversion pursuant to this Section 13.6 shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to
the close of business in New York on the Conversion Date. 
 Section 13.7 Effect of Conversion. Notice of conversion having been
given as aforesaid, the Undated Subordinated Debt Securities so to be converted shall on the Conversion Date cease to exist for any purpose. Upon surrender of any such Undated Subordinated Debt Security for conversion in accordance with the said
notice and this Article XIII, accrued Payments on such Undated Subordinated Debt Security to the Conversion Date plus Arrears of Interest, if any, accumulated to the Conversion Date shall be paid by the Company to the Holder surrendering such
Undated Subordinated Debt Security including Payments and Arrears of Interest. Such payment shall be a condition to the conversion and no conversion shall occur unless such payments are made. 
 On and after the Conversion Date for Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a particular series, each Undated Subordinated Debt Security of the series
to be converted, until surrendered shall be deemed to evidence rights to receive Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities of the relevant series with a liquidation preference equivalent to the principal amount of such Undated Subordinated
Debt Security. Until a Holder has surrendered such Undated Subordinated Debt Security upon such conversion, such Holder shall be entitled to receive dividends, payments or other distributions in respect of such Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion
Securities and shall have the same rights with respect to, and shall be deemed to be the Holder of, such Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities into which such Updated Subordinated Debt Security was converted as if it had so surrendered
such Undated Subordinated Debt Security. 
 Section 13.8 Validity of Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities. The
Company will take all corporate and other action which may be necessary in order that it may validly and legally issue Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities upon each conversion of the Outstanding Undated Subordinated Debt Securities.
The Company covenants that the Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities will when issued upon such exchange be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and not subject to calls for further funds. 
 Section 13.9 Legal and Regulatory Compliance. Notwithstanding any provision of this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture to the
contrary, the right of the Company to cause any conversion of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities of a series for Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities on any proposed Conversion Date shall be subject to the fulfillment of the following
conditions with respect to such Undated Subordinated Debt Securities: 
 (a) as of such Conversion Date, there are no accrued but unpaid
Payments and there are no Arrears of Interest (including amounts paid on the Conversion Date); 
 (b) as of such Conversion Date, no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the particular series of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities; 
 (c) as of such Conversion Date, there has not been, in any one instance or in the aggregate, an adverse effect on the rights, powers, privileges, validity or enforceability of the Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities;

  

 64 

 (d) the Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities to be issued on such Conversion Date shall be
duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion and, when issued upon such exchange, will be fully paid and not subject to calls for further funds; 
 (e) no consents, authorizations, approvals or exemptions, except in each case such as shall have been obtained, will be required prior to such Conversion Date for the issuance and delivery of the Dollar Preference
Shares or Conversion Securities to be issued upon such conversion; 
 (f) the issuance and delivery of the Dollar Preference Shares or
Conversion Securities to be issued on such Conversion Date shall not violate (i) the Articles of Association of the Company or (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company; and 
 (g) there shall not have occurred any change in law in Ireland, or any amendment of the Articles of Association of the Company, prior to such Conversion
Date, materially and adversely affecting the rights and privileges attached to the Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities (including, without limitation, the rights of the holders thereof in the event of a bankruptcy or other similar
proceeding with respect to the Company) or such holders’ access to the courts of Ireland and other applicable governmental authorities to enforce such rights. 
 Section 13.10 Taxes and Charges. The issuance or delivery of Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities upon conversion of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to this Article XIII shall be
made without charge to the converting Holder of Undated Subordinated Debt Securities for such Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities or for any tax or other governmental charge (other than income or capital gains taxes) in respect of the
issuance or delivery of such Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities. 
 Section 13.11 Trustee Not Liable. The Trustee
shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion Securities which may be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security pursuant
to this Article XIII, and makes no representation with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver or procure the delivery of any Dollar Preference Shares or Conversion
Securities upon the surrender of any Undated Subordinated Debt Security for the purpose of conversion pursuant to this Article XIII or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company or conditions contained in this Article XIII. 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  

 65 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Trustee have caused this Undated Subordinated Debt Securities
Indenture to be duly executed, all as of the day and year first above written.

 DEPOSIT AGREEMENT dated as of                     , 2008, among Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., incorporated under the
laws of Ireland (herein called the Company), THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation (herein called the Depositary), and all Owners and Holders from time to time of American Depositary Shares issued hereunder. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Company
desires to provide, as hereinafter set forth in this Deposit Agreement, for the deposit of Shares (as hereinafter defined) of the Company from time to time with the Depositary or with the Custodian (as hereinafter defined) as agent of the Depositary
for the purposes set forth in this Deposit Agreement, for the creation of American Depositary Shares representing the Shares so deposited and for the execution and delivery of American Depositary Receipts evidencing the American Depositary Shares;
and 
 WHEREAS, the American Depositary Receipts are to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto, with appropriate
insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided in this Deposit Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONS 
 The following definitions shall for all purposes, unless otherwise clearly indicated, apply to the respective terms used in this Deposit Agreement:

 SECTION 1.01 American Depositary Shares.

 ARTICLE 2. FORM OF RECEIPTS, DEPOSIT OF SHARES, DELIVERY, TRANSFER AND SURRENDER OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES 
 SECTION 2.01 Form of Receipts; Registration and Transferability of American Depositary Shares. 
 Definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions,
modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless such Receipt shall have been (i) executed by the Depositary by the
manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary or (ii) executed by the facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary and countersigned by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory of the
Depositary or a Registrar. The Depositary shall maintain books on which (x) each Receipt so executed and delivered as hereinafter provided and the transfer of each such Receipt shall be registered and (y) all American Depositary Shares
delivered as hereinafter provided and all registrations of transfer of American Depositary Shares shall be registered. A Receipt bearing the facsimile signature of a person that was at any time a proper officer of the Depositary shall, subject to
the other provisions of this paragraph, bind the Depositary, notwithstanding that such person ceased to hold office or was not a proper officer of the Depositary on the date of issuance of that Receipt. 
 The Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Deposit Agreement as may be required by the Depositary or required to comply with any applicable law or regulations thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which American Depositary Shares may be listed
or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Receipts are subject by reason of the date of issuance of the underlying Deposited Securities or otherwise. 

American Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt, when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, shall be transferable as
certificated registered securities under the laws of New York. American Depositary Shares not evidenced by Receipts shall be transferable as uncertificated registered securities under the laws of New York. The Depositary, notwithstanding any notice
to 

  

 5 

 
the contrary, may treat the Owner of American Depositary Shares as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to
distribution of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes, and neither the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation or be subject to any liability under this
Deposit Agreement to any Holder of American Depositary Shares unless that Holder is the Owner of those American Depositary Shares. 
 SECTION
2.02 Deposit of Shares. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, Shares or evidence of rights to receive
Shares may be deposited by delivery thereof to any Custodian hereunder, accompanied by any appropriate instruments or instructions for transfer, or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Custodian, together with all such certifications as may be
required by the Depositary or the Custodian in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, and, if the Depositary requires, together with a written order directing the Depositary to deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person
or persons stated in such order, the number of American Depositary Shares representing such deposit. 
 No Share shall be accepted for
deposit unless accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary that any necessary approval has been granted by any governmental body in Ireland that is then performing the function of the regulation of currency exchange. If
required by the Depositary, Shares presented for deposit at any time, whether or not the transfer books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are closed, shall also be accompanied by an agreement or assignment, or other instrument
satisfactory to the Depositary, which will provide for the prompt transfer to the Custodian of any dividend, or right to subscribe for additional Shares or to receive other property which any person in whose name the Shares are or have been recorded
may thereafter receive upon or in respect of such deposited Shares, or in lieu thereof, such agreement of indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary. 
 At the request and risk and expense of any person proposing to deposit Shares, and for the account of such person, the Depositary may receive
certificates for Shares to be deposited, together with the other instruments herein specified, for the purpose of forwarding such Share certificates to the Custodian for deposit hereunder. 
 Upon each delivery to a Custodian of a certificate or certificates for Shares to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents specified
above, such Custodian shall, as soon as transfer and recordation can be accomplished, present such certificate or certificates to the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, for transfer and recordation of the Shares being deposited in the
name of the Depositary or its nominee or such Custodian or its nominee. 
  

 6 

 Deposited Securities shall be held by the Depositary or by a Custodian for the account and to the order
of the Depositary or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine. 
 SECTION 2.03 Delivery of American Depositary
Shares. 
 Upon receipt by any Custodian of any deposit pursuant to Section 2.02 hereunder, together with the other documents
required as specified above, such Custodian shall notify the Depositary of such deposit and the person or persons to whom or upon whose written order American Depositary Shares are deliverable in respect thereof and the number of American Depositary
Shares to be so delivered. Such notification shall be made by letter or, at the request, risk and expense of the person making the deposit, by cable, telex or facsimile transmission (and in addition, if the transfer books of the Company or the
Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are open, the Depositary may in its sole discretion require a proper acknowledgment or other evidence from the Company or the Foreign Registrar that any Deposited Securities have been recorded upon the books of the
Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or such Custodian or its nominee). Upon receiving such notice from such Custodian, or upon the receipt of Shares or evidence of the right to receive Shares
by the Depositary, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall deliver, to or upon the order of the person or persons entitled thereto, the number of American Depositary Shares issuable in respect of that
deposit, but only upon payment to the Depositary of the fees and expenses of the Depositary for the delivery of such American Depositary Shares as provided in Section 5.09, and of all taxes and governmental charges and fees payable in
connection with such deposit and the transfer of the Deposited Securities. 
 SECTION 2.04 Registration of Transfer of American Depositary
Shares; Combination and Split-up of Receipts; Interchange of Certificated and Uncertificated American Depositary Shares. 
 The
Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall register transfers of American Depositary Shares on its transfer books from time to time, upon (i) in the case of certificated American Depositary Shares,
surrender of the Receipt evidencing those American Depositary Shares, by the Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer or (ii) in the case of uncertificated American
Depositary Shares, receipt from the Owner of a proper instruction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, instructions through DRS and Profile as provided in Section 2.10), and, in either case, duly stamped as may be required by the laws of the
State of New York and of the United States of America. Thereupon the Depositary shall deliver those American Depositary Shares to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto. 
 The Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts for the purpose of effecting
a 

  

 7 

 
split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts for any authorized number of American Depositary Shares
requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. 
 The Depositary, upon
surrender of certificated American Depositary Shares for the purpose of exchanging for uncertificated American Depositary Shares, shall cancel those uncertificated American Depositary Shares and send the Owner a statement confirming that the Owner
is the owner of the same number of uncertificated American Depositary Shares. The Depositary, upon receipt of a proper instruction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, instructions through DRS and Profile as provided in Section 2.10) from
the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares for the purpose of exchanging for certificated American Depositary Shares, shall cancel those uncertificated American Depositary Shares and deliver to the Owner the same number of certificated
American Depositary Shares. 
 The Depositary may appoint one or more co-transfer agents for the purpose of effecting registration of
transfers of American Depositary Shares and combinations and split-ups of Receipts at designated transfer offices on behalf of the Depositary. In carrying out its functions, a co-transfer agent may require evidence of authority and compliance with
applicable laws and other requirements by Owners or persons entitled to American Depositary Shares and will be entitled to protection and indemnity to the same extent as the Depositary. 
 SECTION 2.05 Surrender of American Depositary Shares and Withdrawal of Deposited Securities. 
 Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of American Depositary Shares for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Securities
represented thereby, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares as provided in Section 5.09 and payment of all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such surrender and
withdrawal of the Deposited Securities, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Owner of those American Depositary Shares shall be entitled to delivery, to him or as instructed, of the amount of Deposited Securities at
the time represented by those American Depositary Shares. Such delivery shall be made, as hereinafter provided, without unreasonable delay. 
 A Receipt surrendered for such purposes may be required by the Depositary to be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer in blank. The Depositary may require the surrendering Owner to execute and deliver
to the Depositary a written order directing the Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities being withdrawn to be delivered to or upon the written order of a person or persons designated in such order. Thereupon the Depositary shall direct the
Custodian to deliver at the office of such Custodian, subject to Sections 2.06, 3.01 and 3.02 and to the 

  

 8 

 
other terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, to or upon the written order of the person or persons designated in the order delivered to the
Depositary as above provided, the amount of Deposited Securities represented by the surrendered American Depositary Shares, except that the Depositary may make delivery to such person or persons at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of any
dividends or distributions with respect to the Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares, or of any proceeds of sale of any dividends, distributions or rights, which may at the time be held by the Depositary. 

At the request, risk and expense of any Owner so surrendering American Depositary Shares, and for the account of such Owner, the Depositary shall
direct the Custodian to forward any cash or other property (other than rights) comprising, and forward a certificate or certificates, if applicable, and other proper documents of title for, the Deposited Securities represented by the surrendered
American Depositary Shares to the Depositary for delivery at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary. Such direction shall be given by letter or, at the request, risk and expense of such Owner, by cable, telex or facsimile transmission.

 SECTION 2.06 Limitations on Delivery, Transfer and Surrender of American Depositary Shares. 
 As a condition precedent to the delivery, registration of transfer or surrender of any American Depositary Shares or split-up or combination of any
Receipt or withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, Custodian or Registrar may require payment from the depositor of Shares or the presenter of the Receipt or instruction for registration of transfer or surrender of American
Depositary Shares not evidenced by a Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to
Shares being deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as herein provided, may require the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with any
regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.06. 
 The delivery of American Depositary Shares against deposit of Shares generally or against deposit of particular Shares may be suspended, or the transfer of American Depositary Shares in particular instances may be
refused, or the registration of transfer of outstanding American Depositary Shares generally may be suspended, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the
Depositary or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason, subject to the
provisions of the following sentence. Notwithstanding anything to 

  

 9 

 
the contrary in this Deposit Agreement, the surrender of outstanding American Depositary Shares and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may not be suspended
subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the
payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the American Depositary Shares or to the withdrawal of the Deposited
Securities. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under this Deposit Agreement any Shares which would be required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 for public
offer and sale in the United States unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Shares for such offer and sale. 
 SECTION 2.07
Lost Receipts, etc. 
 In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary shall deliver to the Owner
the American Depositary Shares evidenced by that Receipt in uncertificated form or, if requested by the Owner, execute and deliver a new Receipt of like tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt, upon cancellation thereof, or in
lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt. Before the Depositary shall deliver American Depositary Shares in uncertificated form or execute and deliver a new Receipt, in substitution for a destroyed, lost or stolen
Receipt, the Owner thereof shall have (a) filed with the Depositary (i) a request for such execution and delivery before the Depositary has notice that the Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser and (ii) a sufficient
indemnity bond and (b) satisfied any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Depositary. 
 SECTION 2.08 Cancellation and
Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. 
 All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary shall be cancelled by the Depositary. The Depositary
is authorized to destroy Receipts so cancelled in accordance with procedures ordinarily followed by stock transfer agents located in the City of New York or as required by the laws and regulations governing the Depositary. 
 SECTION 2.09 Pre-Release of American Depositary Shares. 
 Notwithstanding Section 2.03 hereof, unless requested in writing by the Company to cease doing so, the Depositary may deliver American Depositary Shares prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to
Section 2.02 (a “Pre-Release”). The Depositary may, pursuant to Section 2.05, deliver Shares upon the surrender of American Depositary Shares that have been Pre-Released, whether or not such cancellation is prior to the
termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such American Depositary Shares have been Pre-Released. The Depositary may receive American Depositary Shares in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release. Each Pre-Release will be
(a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom American 

  

 10 

 
Depositary Shares or Shares are to be delivered (the “Pre-Releasee”), that the Pre-Releasee, or its customer, owns the Shares or American
Depositary Shares to be remitted, as the case may be, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash or such other collateral as the Depositary determines in good faith, will provide substantially similar liquidity and security,
(c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice, and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The number of Shares represented by American
Depositary Shares which are outstanding at any time as a result of Pre-Release will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares deposited hereunder; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change or
disregard such limit from time to time as it deems reasonably appropriate, and may, with the prior written consent of the Company, change such limit for purposes of general application. The Depositary will also set Dollar limits with respect to
Pre-Release transactions to be entered into hereunder with any particular Pre-Releasee on a case-by-case basis as the Depositary deems appropriate. For purposes of enabling the Depositary to fulfill its obligations to the Owners and Holders under
this Deposit Agreement, the collateral referred to in clause (b) above shall be held by the Depositary as security for the performance of the Pre-Releasee’s obligations to the Depositary in connection with a Pre-Release transaction,
including the Pre-Releasee’s obligation to deliver Shares or American Depositary Shares upon termination of a Pre-Release transaction (and shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute Deposited Securities hereunder). 
 The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in connection with the foregoing. 
 SECTION 2.10 DTC Direct Registration System and Profile Modification System. 
 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.04, the parties acknowledge that the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) and Profile
Modification System (“Profile”) shall apply to uncertificated American Depositary Shares upon acceptance thereof to DRS by DTC. DRS is the system administered by DTC pursuant to which the Depositary may register the ownership of
uncertificated American Depositary Shares, which ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto. Profile is a required feature of DRS which allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on
behalf of an Owner of American Depositary Shares, to direct the Depositary to register a transfer of those American Depositary Shares to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those American Depositary Shares to the DTC account of that DTC participant
without receipt by the Depositary of prior authorization from the Owner to register such transfer. 
 (b) In connection with and in
accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties understand that the Depositary will not verify, determine or otherwise ascertain that the DTC participant which is claiming to be 

  

 11 

 
acting on behalf of an Owner in requesting a registration of transfer and delivery as described in subsection (a) has the actual authority to act on
behalf of the Owner (notwithstanding any requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.08 shall apply to the matters arising from the use of the DRS. The parties agree that the
Depositary’s reliance on and compliance with instructions received by the Depositary through the DRS/Profile System and in accordance with this Deposit Agreement shall not constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the Depositary.

 SECTION 2.11 Maintenance of Records. 
 The Depositary agrees to maintain or cause its agents to maintain records of all Receipts surrendered and Deposited Securities withdrawn under Section 2.05, substitute Receipts delivered under Section 2.07,
and of cancelled or destroyed Receipts under Section 2.08, in keeping with procedures ordinarily followed by stock transfer agents located in the City of New York or as required by the laws or regulations governing the Depositary. 

ARTICLE 3. CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF OWNERS AND HOLDERS OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES 
 SECTION 3.01 Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. 
 Any person presenting Shares for
deposit or any Owner or holder may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary or the Custodian such proof of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of the
Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties, as the Depositary may deem necessary or proper. The Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of transfer of
American Depositary Shares or the distribution of any dividend or sale or distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed
or such representations and warranties made. 
 SECTION 3.02 Liability of Owner for Taxes. 
 If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to any American Depositary Shares or any
Deposited Securities represented by any American Depositary Shares, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner of such American Depositary Shares to the Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to register any transfer of those
American Depositary Shares or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner thereof
any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares, and 

  

 12 

 
may apply such dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge and the Owner of such
American Depositary Shares shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
 SECTION 3.03 Warranties on Deposit of Shares. 
 Every person depositing Shares under this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares and each certificate
therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of any preemptive rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do. Every such person shall also be deemed
to represent that the deposit of such Shares and the sale of American Depositary Shares representing such Shares by that person are not restricted under the Securities Act of 1933. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of
Shares and delivery of American Depositary Shares. 
 ARTICLE 4. THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES 
 SECTION 4.01 Cash Distributions. 
 Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.05, convert such dividend or distribution into Dollars and
shall distribute the amount thus received (net of any fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09) to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited
Securities held by them respectively; provided, however, that in the event that the Company or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash dividend or such other cash distribution an amount on account
of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to the Owner of the American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be
distributed without attributing to any Owner a fraction of one cent. Any such fractional amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent and so distributed to Owners entitled thereto. The Company or its agent will remit to the appropriate
governmental agency in Ireland all amounts withheld and owing to such agency. The Depositary will forward to the Company or its agent such information from its records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agent to file
necessary reports with governmental agencies, and the Depositary or the Company or its agent may file any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under the applicable tax treaties for the Owners. 
 SECTION 4.02 Distributions Other Than Cash, Shares or Rights. 
 Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.11 and 5.09, whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than a distribution described in Section 

  

 13 

 
4.01, 4.03 or 4.04, the Depositary shall cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, after deduction or
upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary (as provided in Section 5.09) or any taxes or other governmental charges, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them
respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners
entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 in order to be distributed to Owners or Holders) the Depositary reasonably deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt such method as it may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of
effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as
provided in Section 5.09) shall be distributed by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01. The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under
this Section 4.02 if it has not received satisfactory assurances from the Company that the distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of securities
or other property it would otherwise distribute under this Section 4.02 that is sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution. 
 SECTION 4.03 Distributions in Shares. 
 If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of
a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may deliver to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, an aggregate
number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and after deduction or upon
issuance of American Depositary Shares, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 and the payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 (and the
Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of the Shares received sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution). The Depositary may withhold any such delivery of American Depositary Shares if it has not
received satisfactory assurances from the Company that such distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933. In lieu of delivering fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary shall sell the
amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01. If additional American 

  

 14 

 
Depositary Shares are not so delivered, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited
Securities represented thereby. 
 SECTION 4.04 Rights. 
 In the event that the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary shall have
discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or
for any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse; provided, however, that
the Depositary will, if requested by the Company, take action as follows: (i) if at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary reasonably determines that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain
Owners but not to other Owners, the Depositary may distribute to any Owner to whom it reasonably determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other
instruments therefor in such form as it deems appropriate or (ii) if at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or not feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners by means of
warrants or otherwise, or if the rights represented by such warrants or such other instruments are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, the Depositary in its discretion may sell such rights or such warrants or other instruments at a public
or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and may allocate the proceeds of such sales in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not
lawfully or feasibly make such rights available (net of any fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 and all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange
restrictions, or the date of delivery of any American Depositary Shares or otherwise. 
 In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not
be distributed, if an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of such Owner hereunder, the Depositary will make such rights available to such Owner
upon written notice from the Company to the Depositary that (a) the Company has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (b) such Owner has executed such documents as the Company has determined in its sole
discretion are reasonably required under applicable law. In the case of a distribution of Receipts pursuant to this paragraph, such 

  

 15 

 
Receipts shall be legended in accordance with applicable U.S. laws, and shall be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and
transfer under such laws. 
 If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain Owners, then upon
instruction from such an Owner pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to the Depositary for the account of such Owner of an amount equal to the purchase
price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Owner,
exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner. As agent for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares so purchased to be deposited
pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Deposit Agreement, deliver American Depositary Shares to such Owner. In the case of a distribution pursuant to the second paragraph of this
Section, such deposit shall be made, and depositary shares shall be delivered, under depositary arrangements which provide for issuance of depositary shares subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and transfer under
applicable United States laws. 
 If the Depositary determines in its reasonable discretion, after consultation with the Company to the
extent practicable, that it is not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom
it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of any fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 and all taxes and governmental charges payable
in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without
regard to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any American Depositary Shares or otherwise. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the third preceding paragraph of this Section 4.04, the Depositary will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such Act; provided, that nothing in the Deposit Agreement shall create any obligation on the part
of the Company to file a registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a registration statement declared effective. If an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments,
notwithstanding that there has been no such registration under the Securities Act of 1933, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution unless it has received an opinion from 

  

 16 

 
recognized counsel in the United States for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Owner is exempt from such
registration. 
 The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights
available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. 
 SECTION 4.05 Conversion of Foreign Currency. 
 Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from the sale of
securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign currency so received can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United
States, the Depositary shall convert or cause to be converted by sale or in any other manner that it may determine such foreign currency into Dollars, and such Dollars shall be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall
have distributed any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such warrants and/or instruments upon surrender thereof for cancellation. Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or
other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any American Depositary Shares or otherwise and shall be net of any expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by
the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09. 
 If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of
any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall file such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable. 
 If
at any time the Depositary shall determine that in its judgment any foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license
of any government or agency thereof which is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Depositary,
the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in its reasonable discretion may hold such foreign currency uninvested and
without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled to receive the same. 
 If any such conversion of
foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its reasonable discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars to the extent permissible to the
Owners entitled thereto and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto.

  

 17 

 SECTION 4.06 Fixing of Record Date. 
 Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights shall be
issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares
that are represented by each American Depositary Share, the Depositary shall fix a record date (a) for the determination of the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the
sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or (b) on or after which each American Depositary Share will represent the changed number of Shares. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 4.01 through 4.05 and to the other terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Owners on such record date shall be entitled, as the case may be, to receive the amount distributable by the Depositary with respect to such dividend or
other distribution or such rights or the net proceeds of sale thereof in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively and to give voting instructions and to act in respect of any other such matter. 
 SECTION 4.07 Voting of Deposited Securities. 
 Upon receipt of notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, if requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice
shall be in the reasonable discretion of the Depositary upon consultation with the Company, to the extent practicable, which shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting received by the Depositary from the
Company, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Irish law and of the articles of association or similar documents of the Company, to
instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares and (c) a statement as to the manner in which
such instructions may be given, including an express indication that such instructions may be given or deemed given in accordance with the last sentence of this paragraph if no instruction is received. Upon the written request of an Owner of
American Depositary Shares on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Shares or other
Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the Shares or other Deposited
Securities, other than in accordance with such instructions or deemed instructions. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from any Owner with respect to any of the Deposited Securities represented by such Owner’s American Depositary
Shares on or before the date 

  

 18 

 
established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall deem such Owner to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a
designated member or members of the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to such Deposited Securities and the Depositary shall give a discretionary proxy to designated member or members of the Board of Directors of the Company to vote such
Deposited Securities, provided, that no such instruction shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing) that
(x) the Company does not wish such proxy given, (y) substantial opposition exists or (z) such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Shares. 
 There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in particular will receive the notice described in the preceding paragraph sufficiently
prior to the instruction cutoff date to ensure that the Depositary will vote the Shares or Deposited Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth in the preceding paragraph. 
 In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if the
Company will request the Depositary to act under this Section 4.07, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon not less than 30 days prior to the meeting date.

 SECTION 4.08 Changes Affecting Deposited Securities. 
 In circumstances where the provisions of Section 4.03 do not apply, upon any change in nominal value, change in par value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon
any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, or upon the redemption or cancellation by the Company of the Deposited Securities, any securities, cash or property
which shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for, in conversion of, in lieu of or in respect of Deposited Securities, shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under this Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares
shall thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities so received, unless additional American Depositary Shares are delivered pursuant to the following sentence. In any such
case the Depositary may, upon consultation with the Company, to the extent practicable, and shall if the Company shall so request, deliver additional American Depositary Shares as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the surrender of
outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new Deposited Securities. 
 SECTION 4.09 Reports.

 The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Owners at its Corporate Trust Office any reports and communications, including any
proxy solicitation 

  

 19 

 
material, received from the Company which are both (a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b) made generally
available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company. The Depositary shall also, upon written request by the Company, send to the Owners copies of such reports when furnished by the Company pursuant to Section 5.06. Any such
reports and communications, including any such proxy soliciting material, furnished to the Depositary by the Company shall be furnished in English, to the extent such materials are required to be translated into English pursuant to any regulations
of the Commission. 
 SECTION 4.10 Lists of Owners. 
 Promptly upon request by the Company, the Depositary shall, at the expense of the Company subject to other written agreements with the Company, furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and
holdings of American Depositary Shares by all persons in whose names American Depositary Shares are registered on the books of the Depositary. 
 SECTION 4.11 Withholding. 
 In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Shares
and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and
rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes or charges and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or
charges to the Owners entitled thereto in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively.

 The Depositary shall keep books, at its Corporate Trust Office, for the registration of American Depositary Shares and transfers of American Depositary
Shares which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners, provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners in the interest 

  

 20 

 
of a business or object other than the business of the Company or a matter related to this Deposit Agreement or the American Depositary Shares. 

The Depositary may close the transfer books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its
duties hereunder.

 SECTION 5.02 Prevention or Delay in Performance by the Depositary or the Company. 
 Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any Owner or
Holder (i) if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any provision, present or future,
of the articles of association or similar document of the Company, or by reason of any provision of any securities issued or distributed by the Company, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism or
other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the Company shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from, or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of this
Deposit Agreement or the Deposited Securities it is provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or Holder
(ii) by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of this Deposit Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, (iii) by reason of any exercise of,
or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement, (iv) for the inability of any Owner or holder to benefit from any distribution, offering, right or other benefit which is made available to holders of Deposited
Securities but is not, under the terms of this Deposit Agreement, made available to Owners or holders, or (v) for any special, consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of this Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a
distribution pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.02 or 4.03, or an offering or distribution pursuant to Section 4.04, or for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners, and the Depositary may not dispose of
such distribution or offering on behalf of such Owners and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse. 
  

 21 

 SECTION 5.03 Obligations of the Depositary, the Custodian and the Company. 
 The Company assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Owner or Holder, except that the Company
agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. 
 The Depositary assumes
no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Owner or Holder (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that the Depositary
agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. 
 Neither the Depositary
nor the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the American Depositary Shares on behalf of any Owner or Holder or any other
person. 
 Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or
information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. 
 The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the
Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without
negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary. 
 The Depositary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any securities
depository, clearing agency or settlement system in connection with or arising out of book-entry settlement of Deposited Securities or otherwise. 
 The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or
nonaction is in good faith. 
 No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of this Deposit
Agreement. 
  

 22 

 SECTION 5.04 Resignation and Removal of the Depositary. 
 The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation to
take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. 
 The Depositary
may at any time be removed by the Company by 90 days prior written notice of such removal, to become effective upon the later of (i) the 90th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary and (ii) the appointment of a successor
depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. 
 In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall
resign or be removed, the Company shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Every successor depositary shall execute and
deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor, nevertheless, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such
predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Deposited Securities to such successor and shall deliver to such successor a list of the Owners of all outstanding Receipts. Any such successor
depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the Owners. 
 Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged or
consolidated shall be the successor of the Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. 
 SECTION 5.05
The Custodians. 
 The Custodian shall be subject at all times and in all respects to the directions of the Depositary and shall be
responsible solely to it. Any Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder by notice of such resignation delivered to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the date on which such resignation is to become effective. If upon
such resignation there shall be no Custodian acting hereunder, the Depositary shall, promptly after receiving such notice, appoint a substitute custodian or custodians, each of which shall thereafter be a Custodian hereunder. Whenever the Depositary
in its reasonable discretion determines that it is in the best interests of the Owners and Holders to do so, it may appoint a substitute or additional custodian or custodians, each of which shall thereafter be one of the Custodians hereunder. Upon
demand of the Depositary any Custodian shall deliver such of the Deposited Securities held by it as are requested of it to any other Custodian or such substitute or additional custodian or custodians. Each such substitute or additional custodian
shall deliver to the 

  

 23 

 
Depositary, forthwith upon its appointment, an acceptance of such appointment satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositary. 
 Upon the appointment of any successor depositary hereunder, each Custodian then acting hereunder shall forthwith become, without any further act or
writing, the agent hereunder of such successor depositary and the appointment of such successor depositary shall in no way impair the authority of each Custodian hereunder; but the successor depositary so appointed shall, nevertheless, on the
written request of any Custodian, execute and deliver to such Custodian all such instruments as may be proper to give to such Custodian full and complete power and authority as agent hereunder of such successor depositary. 
 SECTION 5.06 Notices and Reports. 
 On or before the first date on which the Company gives notice, by publication or otherwise, of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or of any adjourned meeting of such holders, or of the taking of any action in
respect of any cash or other distributions or the offering of any rights, the Company agrees to transmit to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy of the notice thereof in the form given or to be given to holders of Shares or other Deposited
Securities. 
 The Company will arrange for the translation into English, if not already in English, to the extent required pursuant to any
regulations of the Commission, and the prompt transmittal by the Company to the Depositary and the Custodian of such notices and any other reports and communications which are made generally available by the Company to holders of its Shares. If
requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary will arrange for the mailing, at the Company’s expense, of copies of such notices, reports and communications to all Owners. The Company will timely provide the Depositary with the quantity of
such notices, reports, and communications, as requested by the Depositary from time to time, in order for the Depositary to effect such mailings. 
 SECTION 5.07 Distribution of Additional Shares, Rights, etc. 
 If the Company or any affiliate of the Company determines to
make any issuance or distribution of (1) additional Shares, (2) rights to subscribe for Shares, (3) securities convertible into Shares, or (4) rights to subscribe for such securities (each a “Distribution”), the Company
shall notify the Depositary as promptly as practicable and in any event before the Distribution starts and, if requested in writing by the Depositary, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Depositary a written opinion from U.S. counsel for the
Company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, stating whether or not the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If, in the opinion of that counsel, the
Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, that counsel shall furnish to the Depositary a written opinion 

  

 24 

 
as to whether or not there is a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 in effect that will cover that Distribution. 
 The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company will
at any time deposit any Shares, either originally issued or previously issued and reacquired by the Company or any such affiliate, unless a Registration Statement is in effect as to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Company
delivers to the Depositary an opinion of United States counsel, satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that, upon deposit, those Shares will be eligible for public resale in the United States without further registration under the Securities
Act of 1933. 
 SECTION 5.08 Indemnification. 
 The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates and any Custodian against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability or expense (including, but not limited to
the fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of (a) any registration with the Commission of American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or the offer or sale thereof in the United States or (b) acts performed or omitted,
pursuant to the provisions of or in connection with this Deposit Agreement and of the Receipts, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, (i) by either the Depositary or a Custodian or their respective directors,
employees, agents and affiliates, except for any liability or expense arising out of the negligence or bad faith of either of them, or (ii) by the Company or any of its directors, employees, agents and affiliates. 
 The Depositary agrees to indemnify the Company, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates and hold them harmless from any liability or expense
which may arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Depositary or its Custodian or their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates due to their negligence or bad faith. 
 SECTION 5.09 Charges of Depositary. 
 The Company agrees to pay the fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Depositary and those of any Registrar only in accordance with agreements in writing entered into between the Depositary and the Company from time to time. The
Depositary shall present its statement for such charges and expenses to the Company once every three months. The charges and expenses of the Custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary. 
 The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering American Depositary Shares or to whom
American Depositary Shares are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company or an exchange of 

  

 25 

 
stock regarding the American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or a delivery of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.03), or by
Owners, as applicable: (1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares generally on the Share register of the Company or Foreign
Registrar and applicable to transfers of Shares to or from the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals hereunder, (3) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission expenses
as are expressly provided in this Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to Section 4.05, (5) a fee of $5.00 or less per 100 American Depositary Shares (or
portion thereof) for the delivery of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 2.03, 4.03 or 4.04 and the surrender of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 2.05 or 6.02, (6) a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary
Share (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution made pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, including, but not limited to Sections 4.01 through 4.04 hereof, (7) a fee for the distribution of securities pursuant to Section 4.02, such fee
being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of American Depositary Shares referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this clause 7 treating all such
securities as if they were Shares) but which securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners, (8) in addition to any fee charged under clause 6, a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) per annum
for depositary services, which will be payable as provided in clause 9 below, (9) any other charges payable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s agents, including the Custodian, or the agents of the Depositary’s agents in
connection with the servicing of Shares or other Deposited Securities (which charge shall be assessed against Owners as of the date or dates set by the Depositary in accordance with Section 4.06 and shall be payable at the sole discretion of
the Depositary by billing such Owners for such charge or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions). 
 The Depositary, subject to Section 2.09 hereof, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in American Depositary Shares. 
 SECTION 5.10 Retention of Depositary Documents. 
 The Depositary is authorized to destroy those documents, records, bills and other data compiled during the term of this Deposit Agreement at the times permitted by the laws or regulations governing the Depositary
unless the Company requests that such papers be retained for a longer period or turned over to the Company or to a successor depositary. 
 SECTION 5.11 Exclusivity. 
 The Company agrees not to appoint any other depositary for issuance of American or global
depositary shares or receipts so long as The Bank of New York is acting as Depositary hereunder. 
  

 26 

 SECTION 5.12 List of Restricted Securities Owners. 
 From time to time, the Company shall provide to the Depositary a list setting forth, to the actual knowledge of the Company, those persons or entities
who beneficially own Restricted Securities and the Company shall update that list on a regular basis. The Company agrees to advise in writing each of the persons or entities so listed that such Restricted Securities are ineligible for deposit
hereunder. The Depositary may rely on such a list or update but shall not be liable for any action or omission made in reliance thereon. 
 ARTICLE 6.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 SECTION 6.01 Amendment. 
 The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary without the consent of Owners or holders in
any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery
costs or other such expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding American Depositary Shares until the expiration of thirty days after notice of such
amendment shall have been given to the Owners of outstanding American Depositary Shares. Every Owner and holder, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such American Depositary Shares or any interest
therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner to surrender American Depositary Shares and receive therefor the Deposited
Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. 
 SECTION 6.02 Termination.

 The Company may at any time terminate this Deposit Agreement by instructing the Depositary to mail a notice of termination to the Owners
of all American Depositary Shares then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the termination date included in such notice. The Depositary may likewise terminate this Deposit Agreement if at any time 60 days shall have expired after the Depositary
delivered to the Company a written resignation notice and if a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in Section 5.04; in such case the Depositary shall mail a notice of termination to the
Owners of all American Depositary Shares then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the termination date. On and after the date of termination, the Owner of American Depositary Shares will, upon (a) surrender of such American Depositary Shares,

 27 

 
applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by those
American Depositary Shares. If any American Depositary Shares shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of American Depositary Shares, shall suspend the
distribution of dividends to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to
Deposited Securities, shall sell rights and other property as provided in this Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net
proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, upon surrender of American Depositary Shares (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner
of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). 
 At any time after the expiration of six months from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities then held under this Deposit Agreement and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds
of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it hereunder, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of American Depositary Shares that have not theretofore been surrendered, such Owners
thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other
cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit
Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges. Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary under
Sections 5.08 and 5.09.

[            ] EACH OF 
 ALLIED IRISH BANKS, p.l.c. [SERIES
            ] 
 (INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF IRELAND) 
 The Bank of New York, as depositary (hereinafter called the “Depositary”), hereby certifies that
                                        
    , or registered assigns IS THE OWNER OF
                                        
                         
 AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES 
 representing deposited non-cumulative Dollar Preference Shares, [Series
            ] shares (herein called “Shares”) of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. incorporated under the laws of Ireland (herein called the “Company”). At the date
hereof, each American Depositary Share represents one (1) Share deposited or subject to deposit under the Deposit Agreement (as such term is hereinafter defined) at the London office of The Bank of New York (herein called the
“Custodian”). The Depositary’s Corporate Trust Office is located at a different address than its principal executive office. Its Corporate Trust Office is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, N.Y. 10286, and its principal
executive office is located at One Wall Street, New York, N.Y. 10286. 
 THE DEPOSITARY’S CORPORATE TRUST OFFICE ADDRESS IS 

101 BARCLAY STREET, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10286 

	1.	THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT. 

 This American Depositary
Receipt is one of an issue (herein called “Receipts”), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set forth in the deposit agreement, dated as of
                    , 2008 (herein called the “Deposit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Depositary, and all Owners and holders
from time to time of American Depositary Shares issued thereunder, each of whom by accepting American Depositary Shares agrees to become a party thereto and become bound by all the terms and conditions thereof. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the
rights of Owners and Holders and the rights and duties of the Depositary in respect of the Shares deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in respect of such Shares and held thereunder (such
Shares, securities, property, and cash are herein called “Deposited Securities”). Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Depositary’s Corporate Trust Office in New York City and at the office of the Custodian. 

The statements made on the face and reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and are qualified by and
subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement, to which reference is hereby made. Capitalized terms defined in the Deposit Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Deposit Agreement. 
  

	2.	SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL OF SHARES. 

 Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of American Depositary Shares, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary provided in this Receipt, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the
Owner of those American Depositary Shares is entitled to delivery, to him or as instructed, of the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by those American Depositary Shares. Delivery of such Deposited Securities may be made by the
delivery of (a) certificates or account transfer in the name of the Owner hereof or as ordered by him, with proper endorsement or accompanied by proper instruments or instructions of transfer and (b) any other securities, property and cash
to which such Owner is then entitled in respect of this Receipt. Such delivery will be made at the option of the Owner hereof, either at the office of the Custodian or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, provided that the forwarding of
certificates for Shares or other Deposited Securities for such delivery at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary shall be at the risk and expense of the Owner hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this
Receipt, the surrender of outstanding American Deposiraty Shares and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be suspended only for (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the deposit of
Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with 

  

 2 

 
any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the American Depositary Shares or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Securities. 

 

	3.	TRANSFERS, SPLIT-UPS, AND COMBINATIONS OF RECEIPTS. 

 Transfers of American Depositary Shares may be registered on the books of the Depositary by the Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of those American Depositary Shares properly endorsed for transfer or
accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, in the case of a Receipt, or pursuant to a proper instruction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, instructions through DRS and Profile as provided in Section 2.10 of the Deposit Agreement), in
the case of uncertificated American Depositary Shares, and funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer taxes and the expenses of the Depositary and upon compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary may establish for such purpose.
This Receipt may be split into other such Receipts, or may be combined with other such Receipts into one Receipt, evidencing the same aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. The Depositary, upon
surrender of certificated American Depositary Shares for the purpose of exchanging for uncertificated American Depositary Shares, shall cancel those certificated American Depositary Shares and send the Owner a statement confirming that the Owner is
the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares. The Depositary, upon receipt of a proper instruction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, instructions through DRS and Profile as provided in Section 2.10 of the Deposit Agreement) from
the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares for the purpose of exchanging for certificated American Depositary Shares, shall cancel those uncertificated American Depositary Shares and deliver to the Owner the same number of certificated
American Depositary Shares. As a condition precedent to the delivery, registration of transfer, or surrender of any American Depositary Shares or split-up or combination of any Receipt or withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, the
Custodian, or Registrar may require payment from the depositor of the Shares or the presenter of the Receipt or instruction for registration of transfer or surrender of American Depositary Shares not evidenced by a Receipt of a sum sufficient to
reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees
as provided in the Deposit Agreement, may require the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with any regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with the
provisions of the Deposit Agreement. 
 The delivery of American Depositary Shares against deposit of Shares generally or against deposit of
particular Shares may be suspended, or the transfer of American Depositary Shares in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer of outstanding American Depositary Shares generally may be suspended, during any period when
the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or the Company at any time or from time to 

  

 3 

 
time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement, or for any
other reason, subject to the provisions of the following sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt, the surrender of outstanding American Depositary Shares and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may
not be suspended subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’
meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the American Depositary Shares or to the withdrawal of
the Deposited Securities. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Shares which would be required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Shares or such Shares are exempt from registration thereunder. 
  

	4.	LIABILITY OF OWNER FOR TAXES. 

 If any tax or other
governmental charge shall become payable with respect to any American Depositary Shares or any Deposited Securities represented by any American Depositary Shares, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner to the Depositary.
The Depositary may refuse to register any transfer of those American Depositary Shares or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other
distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares, and may apply such dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of
such tax or other governmental charge and the Owner shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
  

	5.	WARRANTIES ON DEPOSIT OF SHARES. 

 Every person
depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant, that such Shares and each certificate therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of any preemptive rights of the
holders of outstanding Shares and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do. Every such person shall also be deemed to represent that the deposit of such Shares and the sale of American Depositary Shares representing such
Shares by that person are not restricted under the Securities Act of 1933. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Shares and delivery of American Depositary Shares. 
  

	6.	FILING PROOFS, CERTIFICATES, AND OTHER INFORMATION. 

  

 4 

 Any person presenting Shares for deposit or any Owner or holder may be required from time to time to file
with the Depositary or the Custodian such proof of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, to execute such
certificates and to make such representations and warranties, as the Depositary may deem necessary or proper. The Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of transfer of any American Depositary Shares or the distribution of any dividend
or sale or distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. No Share shall be
accepted for deposit unless accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that any necessary approval has been granted by any governmental body in Ireland that is then performing the function of the regulation of currency exchange.

  

	7.	CHARGES OF DEPOSITARY. 

 The following charges
shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering American Depositary Shares or to whom American Depositary Shares are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock
split declared by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or a delivery of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement), or by Owners, as applicable:
(1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares generally on the Share register of the Company or Foreign Registrar and applicable to
transfers of Shares to or from the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, (3) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission
expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Deposit Agreement, (5) a fee of $5.00 or less per
100 American Depositary Shares (or portion thereof) for the delivery of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 2.03, 4.03 or 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement and the surrender of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 2.05 or
6.02 of the Deposit Agreement, (6) a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, including, but not limited to Sections 4.01 through 4.04 of the
Deposit Agreement, (7) a fee for the distribution of securities pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of American Depositary Shares referred to above
which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this clause 7 treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners, (8) in
addition to any fee charged under clause 6, a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) per annum for depositary services, which will be payable as provided in clause 9 below, (9) any other charges 

  

 5 

 
payable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s agents, including the Custodian, or the agents of the Depositary’s agents in connection with the
servicing of Shares or other Deposited Securities (which charge shall be assessed against Owners as of the date or dates set by the Depositary in accordance with Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement and shall be payable at the sole discretion
of the Depositary by billing such Owners for such charge or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions). 
 The Depositary, subject to Article 8 hereof, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in American Depositary Shares. 
  

	8.	PRE-RELEASE OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES. 

 Notwithstanding Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, unless requested in writing by the Company to cease doing so, the Depositary may deliver American Depositary Shares prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.02 of
the Deposit Agreement (a “Pre-Release”). The Depositary may, pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver Shares upon the surrender of American Depositary Shares that have been Pre-Released, whether or not such
cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such American Depositary Shares have been Pre-Released. The Depositary may receive American Depositary Shares in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a
Pre-Release. Each Pre-Release will be (a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom American Depositary Shares or Shares are to be delivered (the “Pre-Releasee”), that the Pre-Releasee, or its
customer, owns the Shares or American Depositary Shares to be remitted, as the case may be, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash or such other collateral as the Depositary determines in good faith, will provide substantially similar
liquidity and security, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice, and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The number of Shares
represented by American Depositary Shares which are outstanding at any time as a result of Pre-Release will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares deposited hereunder; provided, however, that the Depositary
reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems reasonably appropriate, and may, with the prior written consent of the Company, change such limit for purposes of general application. The Depositary will also set
Dollar limits with respect to Pre-Release transactions to be entered into hereunder with any particular Pre-Releasee on a case-by-case basis as the Depositary deems appropriate. For purposes of enabling the Depositary to fulfill its obligations to
the Owners and Holders under the Deposit Agreement, the collateral referred to in clause (b) above shall be held by the Depositary as security for the performance of the Pre-Releasee’s obligations to the Depositary in connection with a
Pre-Release transaction, including the Pre-Releasee’s obligation to deliver Shares or American Depositary Shares upon termination of a Pre-Release transaction (and shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute Deposited Securities
hereunder). 
  

 6 

 The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in connection with the
foregoing. 
  

	9.	TITLE TO RECEIPTS. 

 It is a condition of this
Receipt and every successive Owner and holder of this Receipt by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees that when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, shall be transferable as certificated registered
securities under the laws of New York. American Depositary Shares not evidenced by Receipts shall be transferable as uncertificated registered securities under the laws of New York. The Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may
treat the Owner of American Depositary Shares as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Deposit Agreement and for all
other purposes, and neither the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any Holder of American Depositary Shares unless that Holder is the Owner of those American Depositary
Shares. 
  

	10.	VALIDITY OF RECEIPT. 

 This Receipt shall not be
entitled to any benefits under the Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless this Receipt shall have been executed by the Depositary by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary; provided,
however that such signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts shall have been appointed and such Receipts are countersigned by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. 
  

	11.	REPORTS; INSPECTION OF TRANSFER BOOKS. 

 The
Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, accordingly, files certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter called the “Commission”). 
 Such reports and communications will be available for inspection and copying at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located at
450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. 
 The Depositary will make available for inspection by Owners at its Corporate Trust Office
any reports, notices and other communications, including any proxy soliciting material, received from the Company which are both (a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b) made generally available to
the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company. The Depositary will also, upon written request by the Company, send to Owners copies of such reports when furnished by the Company pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. Any such reports and
communications, including any such proxy soliciting material, furnished to the 

  

 7 

 
Depositary by the Company shall be furnished in English to the extent such materials are required to be translated into English pursuant to any regulations
of the Commission. 
 The Depositary will keep books, at its Corporate Trust Office, for the registration of American Depositary Shares and
transfers of American Depositary Shares which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners, provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners in the interest of a business or object other
than the business of the Company or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the American Depositary Shares. 
  

	12.	DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. 

 Whenever the
Depositary receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary will, if at the time of receipt thereof any amounts received in a foreign currency can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a
reasonable basis into United States dollars transferable to the United States, and subject to the Deposit Agreement, convert such dividend or distribution into dollars and will distribute the amount this received (net of any fees and expenses of the
Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement) to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively;
provided, however, that in the event that the Company or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash dividend or such other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes or other governmental
charges, the amount distributed to the Owner of the American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. 
 Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.11 and 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement, whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than a distribution described in Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, the
Depositary will cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided,
however, that if in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason the Depositary reasonably deems such distribution not to be feasible, the
Depositary may adopt such method as it may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part
thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement) will be distributed by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto, all
in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under this Article if it has not received satisfactory assurances from the Company that
the distribution does not require registration under the Securities

Act of 1933. The Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of securities or other property it would otherwise distribute under this Article
that is sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution. 
 If any distribution consists of a dividend in, or free
distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may deliver to the Owners entitled thereto, an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and after deduction or upon issuance of American Depositary Shares, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the
Deposit Agreement and the payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement (and the Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of Shares received
sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution. In lieu of delivering fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary will sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and
distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. If additional American Depositary Shares are not so delivered, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth
also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby. 
 In the event that the Depositary
determines that any distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may by public or private sale dispose
of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges, and the Depositary shall distribute the
net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto. 
  

	13.	RIGHTS. 

 In the event that the Company shall offer
or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights
available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights
available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse; provided, however, that the Depositary will, if requested by the Company, take action as
follows: (i) if at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary reasonably determines that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners but not to other Owners, the Depositary may distribute to any
Owner to whom it reasonably 

  

 9 

 
determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other
instruments therefor in such form as it deems appropriate or (ii) if at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or not feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners by means of
warrants or otherwise, or if the rights represented by such warrants or such other instruments are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, the Depositary in its discretion may sell such rights or such warrants or other instruments at a public
or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and may allocate the proceeds of such sales in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not
lawfully or feasibly make such rights available (net of any fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 and Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement and all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such rights and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such
Owners because of exchange restrictions, or the date of delivery of any Receipt or Receipts, or otherwise. 
 In circumstances in which
rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of such Owner under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary
will make such rights available to such Owner upon written notice from the Company to the Depositary that (a) the Company has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (b) such Owner has executed such
documents as the Company has determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law. In the case of a distribution of Receipts pursuant to this paragraph, such Receipts shall be legended in accordance with applicable U.S.
laws, and shall be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and transfer under such laws. 
 If the Depositary
has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain Owners, then upon instruction from such an Owner pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by
such Owner to the Depositary for the account of such Owner of an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as
set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Owner, exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such
Owner. As agent for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares so purchased to be deposited pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver American Depositary
Shares to such Owner. In the case of a distribution pursuant to the second paragraph of this Article, such deposit shall be made, and depositary shares shall be delivered, under depositary arrangements which 

  

 10 

 
provide for issuance of depositary shares subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and transfer under applicable United States
laws. 
 If the Depositary determines in its reasonable discretion, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, that it is
not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not
lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of any fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement and all taxes and governmental charges payable in
connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard
to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any American Depositary Shares or otherwise. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the third preceding paragraph of this Article, the Depositary will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such Act; provided, that nothing in this Deposit Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of the Company to file a
registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a registration statement declared effective. If an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there
has been no such registration under the Securities Act of 1933, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution unless it has received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that
such distribution to such Owner is exempt from such registration. 
 The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine
that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. 
  

	14.	CONVERSION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY. 

 Whenever the
Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from the sale of securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign currency so received
can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United States, the Depositary shall convert or cause to be converted by sale or in any other manner that it may
determine, such foreign currency into Dollars, and such Dollars shall be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars,
then to the holders of such warrants and/or instruments upon surrender thereof for cancellation. Such distribution may be made upon an 

  

 11 

 
averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any American
Depositary Shares or otherwise and shall be net of any expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement. 
 If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall file such
application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable. 
 If at any time the Depositary shall determine that in its judgment
any foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for such
conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Depositary, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an
appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the
Owners entitled to receive the same. 
 If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution
to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled thereto and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by
the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto. 
  

	15.	RECORD DATES. 

 Whenever any cash dividend or other
cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights shall be issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of holders of
Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, the Depositary shall fix a record date (a) for the determination of
the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or (b) on or
after which each American Depositary Share will represent the changed number of Shares, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. 
  

	16.	VOTING OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES. 

 Upon receipt of
notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, if requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary shall, as soon as 

  

 12 

 
practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be in the reasonable discretion of the Depositary upon consultation with
the Company, to the extent practicable, which shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting received by the Depositary from the Company, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a
specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Irish law and of the articles of association or similar documents of the Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining
to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares and (c) a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given, including an express indication that such
instructions may be given or deemed given in accordance with the last sentence of this paragraph if no instruction is received. Upon the written request of an Owner of American Depositary Shares on such record date, received on or before the date
established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares in accordance
with the instructions set forth in such request. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the Shares or other Deposited Securities, other than in accordance with such instructions or deemed
instructions. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from any Owner with respect to any of the Deposited Securities represented by such Owner’s American Depositary Shares on or before the date established by the Depositary for such
purpose, the Depositary shall deem such Owner to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a designated member or members of the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to such Deposited Securities and the Depositary
shall give a discretionary proxy to designated member or members of the Board of Directors of the Company to vote such Deposited Securities, provided, that no such instruction shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs
the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing) that (x) the Company does not wish such proxy given, (y) substantial opposition exists or (z) such matter materially and
adversely affects the rights of holders of Shares. 
 There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in particular will receive
the notice described in the preceding paragraph sufficiently prior to the instruction cutoff date to ensure that the Depositary will vote the Shares or Deposited Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

 In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited
Securities, if the Company will request the Depositary to act under this Article, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon sufficiently in advance of the meeting date.

  

	17.	CHANGES AFFECTING DEPOSITED SECURITIES. 

  

 13 

 Upon any change in nominal value, change in par value, split-up, consolidation, or any other
reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, or upon the redemption or cancellation by the Company of the
Deposited Securities, any securities, cash or property which shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for, in conversion of, in lieu of or in respect of Deposited Securities shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under
the Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares shall thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities so received, unless additional Receipts are delivered pursuant to
the following sentence. In any such case the Depositary may deliver additional American Depositary Shares as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically
describing such new Deposited Securities. 
  

	18.	LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY AND DEPOSITARY. 

 Neither
the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any Owner or holder, (i) if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United
States or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority, or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the articles of association or any similar document of the Company, or by reason of any provision of any securities
issued or distributed by the Company, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the Company shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from
or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement or Deposited Securities it is provided shall be done or performed nor shall the Depositary nor the Company
nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or Holder, (ii) by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of
the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, (iii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement, (iv) for the inability of any Owner or holder to
benefit from any distribution, offering, right or other benefit which is made available to holders of Deposited Securities but is not, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, made available to Owners or holders, or (v) for any special,
consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of the Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.02 or 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement, or an offering or distribution pursuant to
Section 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, such distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners of Receipts, and the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of such Owners and make the net proceeds
available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse. Neither the Company nor the Depositary assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability

  

 14 

 
under the Deposit Agreement to Owners or holders, except that they agree to perform their obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without
negligence or bad faith. The Depositary shall not be subject to any liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities. Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any action, suit, or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the American Depositary Shares, on behalf of any Owner or Holder or other person. Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be liable for any action or
nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or holder, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or
information. The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with a matter arising wholly after the removal or
resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises, the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary. The Depositary shall not
be liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system in connection with or arising out of book-entry settlement of Deposited Securities or otherwise. The Depositary shall not be responsible for any
failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or nonaction is in good faith. 
 No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement. 
  

	19.	RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITARY; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR CUSTODIAN. 

 The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary under the Deposit Agreement by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the earlier of (i) the
appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement or (ii) termination by the Depositary pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may at any time be
removed by the Company by 120 days prior written notice of such removal, to become effective upon the later of (i) the 120th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary and (ii) the appointment of a successor depositary and its
acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. Whenever the Depositary in its reasonable discretion determines that it is in the best interests of the Owners and Holders to do so, it may appoint a substitute or additional
custodian or custodians. 
  

	20.	AMENDMENT. 

  

 15 

 The form of the Receipts and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to
time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary without the consent of Owners or holders in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than
taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become
effective as to outstanding American Depositary Shares until the expiration of thirty days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Owners of outstanding American Depositary Shares. Every Owner and holder of American Depositary
Shares, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such American Depositary Shares or any interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended
thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner to surrender American Depositary Shares and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

  

	21.	TERMINATION OF DEPOSIT AGREEMENT. 

 The Company may
terminate the Deposit Agreement by instructing the Depositary to mail notice of termination to the Owners of all American Depositary Shares then outstanding at least 60 days prior to the termination date included in such notice. The Depositary may
likewise terminate the Deposit Agreement, if at any time 30 days shall have expired after the Depositary delivered to the Company a written resignation notice and if a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment
as provided in the Deposit Agreement; in such case the Depositary shall mail a notice of termination to the Owners of all American Depositary Shares then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the termination date. On and after the date of
termination, the Owner of American Depositary Shares will, upon (a) surrender of such American Depositary Shares, (b) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares referred to in Section 2.05,
and (c) payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares. If any American Depositary Shares shall
remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of American Depositary Shares, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any
further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Securities, shall sell rights and other property as provided in
the Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, upon surrender of American
Depositary Shares (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of 

  

 16 

 
such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). At
any time after the expiration of four months from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities then held under the Deposit Agreement and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any
other cash then held by it thereunder, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of American Depositary Shares that have not theretofore been surrendered, such Owners thereupon becoming general creditors
of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case,
the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or
governmental charges). Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary with respect to indemnification, charges, and
expenses. 
  

	22.	DTC DIRECT REGISTRATION SYSTEM AND PROFILE MODIFICATION SYSTEM. 

 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.04 of the Deposit Agreement, the parties acknowledge that the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) and Profile Modification System (“Profile”)
shall apply to uncertificated American Depositary Shares upon acceptance thereof to DRS by DTC. DRS is the system administered by DTC pursuant to which the Depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated American Depositary Shares, which
ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto. Profile is a required feature of DRS which allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on behalf of an Owner, to direct the Depositary to
register a transfer of those American Depositary Shares to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those American Depositary Shares to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by the Depositary of prior authorization from the Owner to
register such transfer. 
 (b) In connection with and in accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties
understand that the Depositary will not verify, determine or otherwise ascertain that the DTC participant which is claiming to be acting on behalf of an Owner in requesting registration of transfer and delivery described in subsection (a) has
the actual authority to act on behalf of the Owner (notwithstanding any requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.08 of the Deposit Agreement shall apply to the matters arising
from the use of the DRS. The parties agree that the Depositary’s reliance on and compliance with instructions received by the Depositary through the DRS/Profile System 

  

 17 

 
and in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, shall not constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the Depositary. 
  

	23.	SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES. 

 In the Deposit Agreement, the Company has (i) appointed Allied Irish Bank, 405 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, +1 212-339-8375, Attention: Head of Treasury, in the State of New York, as the Company’s
authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Shares or Deposited Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or this Agreement, (ii) consented and submitted to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the State of New York in which any such suit or proceeding may be instituted, and (iii) agreed that service of process upon said authorized agent shall be deemed in every respect effective service
of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. 
 EACH PARTY TO THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EACH
OWNER AND HOLDER) THEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE COMPANY AND/OR THE DEPOSITARY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THE SHARES OR OTHER DEPOSITED SECURITIES, THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES OR THE RECEIPTS, THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, OR THE BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY
QUESTION REGARDING EXISTENCE, VALIDITY OR TERMINATION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 
 To the extent that the
Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of
any relief in any respect thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or judgment, or other legal process or
proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in
connection with the Shares or Deposited Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or the Deposit Agreement, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to plead or
claim, any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement. 
  

	24.	COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. SECURITIES LAWS. 

  

 18 

 Notwithstanding anything in the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt to the contrary, the Company and the
Depositary each agrees that it will not exercise any rights it has under the Deposit Agreement to permit the withdrawal or delivery of Deposited Securities in a manner which would violate the U.S. securities laws, including, but not limited to,
Section I.A.(1) of the General Instructions to the Form F-6 Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, under the Securities Act.
