The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture sent by
unsecured e-mail, Portable Document Format (PDF), facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received from the Company an
incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing the titles and specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person

to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon
and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding a conflict or inconsistency between such instructions and a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit

When notice to Holders of registered Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 determined by the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 

Section 1.07 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. If at any

on any provision otherwise included herein would not be so required or imposed (in whole or in part) if this Contingent Convertible 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 9.01 to change or eliminate (in whole or in part) such provision or limitation of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture in conformity with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act
as then in force, except that (subject to Article 9) no provision or limitation required to be included herein by Sections 310(a)(1) and (a)(2), 315(a), (c), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (e), 316(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), (a)(2), (a) (last sentence)

 -21- 

 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Contingent
Convertible Securities Indenture, the Company may deliver Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent
Convertible Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Contingent Convertible Securities. In authenticating such Contingent Convertible Securities and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture in relation to such Contingent Convertible Securities the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, and complying with Section 1.02.

 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Contingent Convertible Securities if the issue of such Contingent Convertible
Securities pursuant to this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Contingent Convertible Securities or any Coupons and this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture
or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Each registered Contingent Convertible Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Contingent Convertible Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by
or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Contingent Convertible Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Contingent Convertible Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and that such Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon is entitled to the benefits of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Contingent Convertible Security shall have been authenticated
and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Contingent Convertible Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Contingent Convertible
Securities Indenture such Contingent Convertible Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture. 

Section 3.04 Temporary Contingent Convertible Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Contingent Convertible Securities
of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Contingent Convertible Securities substantially of the tenor of the definitive Contingent Convertible Securities in lieu of which
they are issued, which Contingent Convertible Securities may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced. Temporary Contingent Convertible Securities may be issued as registered Contingent Convertible Securities in any
authorized denomination, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Contingent Convertible Securities may determine, all as evidenced by such execution. 

  
 -22- 

 If temporary Contingent Convertible Securities of any series are issued, the Company will
cause, if so required by the terms of such temporary Contingent Convertible Securities, definitive Contingent Convertible Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Contingent Convertible
Securities of such series, the temporary Contingent Convertible Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Contingent Convertible Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary
Contingent Convertible Securities of such series (including any and all unmatured Coupons or matured Coupons in default attached thereto) 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture as definitive Contingent
Convertible Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) 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 “Contingent Convertible Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Company shall provide for the registration of Contingent Convertible Securities and of transfers of Contingent Convertible Securities. The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, is hereby appointed “Contingent Convertible Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Contingent Convertible Securities and transfers of Contingent Convertible Securities as herein provided. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Contingent Convertible Security of a series at the 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 Contingent Convertible Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Contingent
Convertible Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Contingent Convertible Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Contingent Convertible
Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Contingent Convertible Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, the Contingent
Convertible Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

  
 -23- 

 All Contingent Convertible Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Contingent Convertible Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, as the Contingent Convertible Securities
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Security
Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer. 

If the Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) 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 such Contingent Convertible Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Contingent Convertible Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Contingent Convertible Security being redeemed in part. 

(b) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, registered Contingent Convertible Securities of any series may be exchanged
for a like aggregate principal amount of registered Contingent Convertible Securities of such series of other authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions. Contingent Convertible Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered
at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for such purpose, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the Contingent Convertible Security or Contingent
Convertible Securities of the same series which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. 
 (c) The provisions of this
Section 3.05(c) shall apply only to Global Securities unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01: 

(i) Each Global Security authenticated under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture shall be registered in 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 Contingent Convertible Security for all
purposes of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture. 

  
 -24- 

 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Contingent Convertible
Securities Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Contingent Convertible 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 a Winding-Up Event 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 Contingent Convertible 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 3.01. 

(iii) Subject to Clause (ii) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Contingent Convertible Securities may be
made in whole or in part, and all Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 3.05, Section 3.04, Section 3.06, Section 9.06 or Section 11.07 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in
the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Contingent Convertible Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 

Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Contingent Convertible Securities. If any mutilated Contingent Convertible
Security or Coupon (including any Global Security) is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall, in the case of a Contingent Convertible Security, authenticate and deliver, or in the case of a Coupon deliver, in
exchange therefor a new Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon 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
Contingent Convertible Security (including any Global Security) or Coupon 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 Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, or in the case of a Coupon deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon a new Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon of the same series containing identical terms and provisions and of the amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 

  
 -25- 

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Security or
Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon, pay such Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon. 

Upon the issuance of any new Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon 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 Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Contingent Convertible Securities and Coupons of that series 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 Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons. 
 Section 3.07
Payment; Interest Rights Preserved. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 3 or as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, interest, if any, on any Contingent Convertible
Securities which is payable, and is paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid, in the case of registered Contingent Convertible Securities, to the Person in whose name that Contingent Convertible Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest 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 3.01 by wire transfer of same-day funds to the Holder. 
 In the case of registered
Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities where payment is to be made in a Foreign Currency or Euro, payment will be made as established pursuant to Section 3.01. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Contingent Convertible Security delivered under this Contingent Convertible
Securities Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Contingent Convertible Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued but unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Contingent
Convertible Security. 

  
 -26- 

 Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a registered
Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Security is registered as the owner of such Contingent
Convertible Security for the purpose of receiving (subject to Section 3.07) payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Contingent Convertible Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Contingent Convertible 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. 

Section 3.09 Cancellation. All Contingent Convertible Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment 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 Contingent Convertible Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder and Coupons which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other person for delivery to the
Trustee) for cancellation any Contingent Convertible Securities previously authenticated hereunder and Coupons which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Contingent Convertible Securities and Coupons so delivered shall be promptly cancelled
by the Trustee. No Contingent Convertible Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Contingent Convertible Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by the provisions of the Contingent
Convertible Securities of any series or pursuant to the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture. The Trustee shall deliver to the Company all cancelled Contingent Convertible Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee. 

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. Payments of interest on the Contingent Convertible Securities of each series shall be
computed on the applicable basis set forth pursuant to Section 3.01 for Contingent Convertible Securities for such series. 

Section 3.11 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Contingent Convertible Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

Section 3.12 Interest Payments Discretionary. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, interest
on any series of Contingent Convertible Securities will be due and payable only at the sole discretion of the Company, and the Company shall have sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel (in

  
 -27- 

 
whole or in part) any interest payment that would otherwise be payable on any Interest Payment Date. If the Company does not make an interest payment on any series of Contingent Convertible
Securities on the relevant Interest Payment Date (or if the Company elects to make a payment of a portion, but not all, of such interest payment), such non-payment shall evidence the Company’s exercise of
its discretion to cancel such interest payment (or the portion of such interest payment not paid), and accordingly such interest payment (or the portion thereof not paid) shall not be due and payable. If the Company provides notice to cancel a
portion, but not all, of an interest payment on any series of Contingent Convertible Securities and the Company subsequently does not make a payment of the remaining portion of such interest payment in respect of such series of Contingent
Convertible Securities on the relevant Interest Payment Date, such non-payment shall evidence the Company’s exercise of its discretion to cancel such remaining portion of the interest payment, and
accordingly such remaining portion of the interest payment shall also not be due and payable. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided as
contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, interest on any series of Contingent Convertible Securities shall only be due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent it is not
cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 3.12(a) and 3.13 hereof, respectively, and any interest cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part)
pursuant to such sections shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and Holders and Beneficial Owners of the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Securities shall have no rights thereto or to receive any
additional interest or compensation as a result of such cancellation or deemed cancellation. The Company may use such cancelled payments without restriction to meet its obligations as they fall due. 

Section 3.13 Restrictions on Interest Payments. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, without
limitation on the provisions of Section 3.12 and subject to the extent permitted in paragraph (b) below in respect of partial interest payments, the Company shall not make an interest payment on the relevant series of Contingent
Convertible Securities on any applicable Interest Payment Date (and such interest payment shall therefore be deemed to have been cancelled and thus shall not be due and payable on such Interest Payment Date) if: 

(i) the Company has an amount of Distributable Items on such Interest Payment Date that is less than the sum of (i) all
distributions or interest payments made or declared by the Company since the end of the last financial year and prior to such Interest Payment Date on or in respect of any Parity Securities, the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Securities
and any Junior Securities and (ii) all distributions or interest payments payable by the Company (and not cancelled or deemed cancelled) on such Interest Payment Date (x) on the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Securities and
(y) on or in respect of any Parity Securities, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), excluding any payments already accounted for in determining the Distributable Items; or 

  
 -28- 

 (ii) the Solvency Condition is not satisfied in respect of such interest
payment. 
 (b) The Company may, in the Company’s sole discretion, elect to make a partial interest payment on any series of Contingent
Convertible Securities on any applicable Interest Payment Date, only to the extent that such partial interest payment may be made without breaching the restriction in the preceding paragraph (a). 

(c) Any interest cancelled pursuant to Section 3.13(a) shall be “deemed cancelled” under the terms of the relevant series of
Contingent Convertible Securities and this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture and shall not be due and payable. 
 (d) Neither the
Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall be required to monitor compliance with the restrictions on interest payments contained in this Section 3.13 or to perform any calculations in connection therewith. 

Section 3.14 Agreement to Interest Cancellation. 

(a) By acquiring any Contingent Convertible Securities, each Holder and each Beneficial Owner of such Contingent Convertible Securities shall
be deemed to have contracted and agreed that: 
 (i) interest is payable solely at the discretion of the Company, and no
amount of interest shall become due and payable in respect of the relevant interest period to the extent that it has been (x) cancelled (in whole or in part) by the Company at the Company’s sole discretion and/or (y) deemed cancelled
(in whole or in part) as a result of the Company having insufficient Distributable Items or failing to satisfy the Solvency Condition; and 

(ii) a cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms of this
Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise under the terms of the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Securities. 

(b) Interest in respect of any series of Contingent Convertible Securities will only be due and payable on any relevant Interest Payment Date
to the extent it is not cancelled or deemed cancelled in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.12 or 3.13 hereof. Any interest cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) in the circumstances described in sections 3.12
or 3.13 hereof shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and Holders and Beneficial Owners of such Contingent Convertible Securities shall have no rights thereto or to receive any additional interest or
compensation as a result of such cancellation or deemed cancellation in respect of such Contingent Convertible Securities. 

Section 3.15 Notice of Interest Cancellation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contingent Convertible Securities
Indenture (including Section 1.06 hereof) or any supplemental indenture hereto, if practicable, the Company shall provide notice of any cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest (in whole or in part) in respect of any series of Contingent
Convertible Securities to the Holders of such Contingent Convertible Securities 

  
 -29- 

 
through DTC (or, if such Contingent Convertible Securities are held in definitive form, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the Contingent Convertible Security Register) and to the Trustee
directly on or prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date and shall endeavor to do so at least five (5) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date. Failure to provide such notice will not have any impact on the effectiveness of,
or otherwise invalidate, any such cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest, or give Holders or Beneficial Owners of such Contingent Convertible Securities any rights as a result of such failure. 

ARTICLE 4 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture. This Contingent Convertible Securities
Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to Contingent Convertible Securities of any series (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture with respect to the Contingent
Convertible Securities of such series when: 
 (a) all Contingent Convertible Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and
delivered and all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other than (x) Contingent Convertible Securities and Coupons which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and
(y) Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in 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 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; 
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture with respect to the
Contingent Convertible Securities of such series have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding any satisfaction and discharge of this
Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, the provisions of Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

  
 -30- 

 ARTICLE 5 

REMEDIES 

Section 5.01 Winding-Up Event 

(a) A “Winding-Up Event”, whenever used herein with respect to a particular series of
Contingent Convertible Securities, shall result if (i) a court of competent jurisdiction in England (or such other jurisdiction in which the Company may be organized) makes an order for the winding-up of
the Company which is not successfully appealed within thirty (30) days of the making of such order, (ii) the Shareholders of the Company adopt an effective resolution for the winding-up of the
Company (other than, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, under or in connection with a scheme of reconstruction, merger or amalgamation not involving a bankruptcy or insolvency) or (iii) following the appointment of an administrator
of the Company, the administrator gives notice that it intends to declare and distribute a dividend. 
 (b) If a Winding-Up Event occurs before the occurrence of a Capital Adequacy Trigger Event with respect to a particular series of Contingent Convertible Securities, subject to the subordination provisions of
Section 12.01 and any subordination provisions in any supplemental indenture hereto, the outstanding principal amount of the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Securities shall become immediately due and payable without the need of any
further action on the part of the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person. 
 Section 5.02
Non-Payment Event. If the Company fails to pay any amount that has become due and payable under the Contingent Convertible Securities of the relevant series and such failure continues for fourteen
(14) days, the Trustee may provide a written notice of such failure to the Company. If within a period of fourteen (14) days following the provision of such notice, the failure continues and has not been cured nor waived (a “Non-Payment Event”), the Trustee may, at its discretion, and without further notice to the Company, institute proceedings in England (or such other jurisdiction in which the Company may be organized) (but
not elsewhere) for the winding-up of the Company and/or prove in a winding-up of the Company and/or claim in a liquidation or administration of the Company. For the
avoidance of doubt, if, pursuant to Section 3.12 or 3.13 hereof, the Company cancels any interest payment in respect of any Interest Payment Date or if such interest payment is deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part), then such
interest payment shall not be due and payable in respect of such Interest Payment Date, and no Non-Payment Event under the relevant Contingent Convertible Securities will occur or be deemed to have occurred as
a result of such cancellation or deemed cancellation (in each case, in whole or in part). 
 Section 5.03 Limited Remedies for
Breach of Obligations (Other than Non-Payment). In addition to the remedies for a Non-Payment Event provided in Section 5.02 above, the Trustee may, without
further notice, institute such proceedings against the Company as the Trustee may deem fit to enforce any term, obligation or condition binding upon the Company under a particular series of Contingent Convertible Securities, this Contingent
Convertible Securities Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto (other than any payment obligation of the Company under or arising from the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series, this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture or
any supplemental indenture hereto, including, without limitation, payment of any principal or interest, including Additional Amounts) (such obligation, a “Performance Obligation”), provided always that the Trustee (acting on
behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series) and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of such Contingent Convertible Securities may not enforce, and may not be entitled to enforce or otherwise
claim, against the Company any judgment or other award given in such proceedings that requires the payment of money by the Company, 

  
 -31- 

 
whether by way of damages or otherwise (a “Monetary Judgment”), except by proving such Monetary Judgment in a winding-up of the Company
and/or by claiming such Monetary Judgment in an administration of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole and exclusive manner by which the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible
Securities of any series) and the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series may seek to enforce or otherwise claim a Monetary Judgment against the Company in connection with the Company’s breach of a
Performance Obligation shall be by proving such Monetary Judgment in a winding-up of the Company and/or by claiming such Monetary Judgment in an administration of the Company. By its acquisition of the
Contingent Convertible Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Contingent Convertible Securities acknowledges and agrees that such Holder or Beneficial Owner will not seek to enforce or otherwise claim, and will not direct the Trustee
(acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series) to enforce or otherwise claim, a Monetary Judgment against the Company in connection with the Company’s breach of a Performance
Obligation, except by proving such Monetary Judgment in a winding-up of the Company and/or by claiming such Monetary Judgment in an administration of the Company. 

Section 5.04 No Other Remedies and Other Terms. 

(a) Other than the limited remedies specified in this Article 5, and subject to paragraph (c) below, no remedy against the Company shall
be available to the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series) or to the Holders and Beneficial Owners, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of a particular
series of Contingent Convertible Securities or under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto, or in respect of any breach by the Company of any of the Company’s obligations under or in respect of
the terms of such Contingent Convertible Securities or under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto in relation thereto; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations specified in
Section 13.02, the Company’s obligations to the Trustee under Section 6.07 and the Trustee’s rights to have money collected applied first to pay amounts due to it under such Section pursuant to Section 5.07 expressly
survive any Default and are not subject to the subordination provisions specified in Section 12.01 and any subordination provision in any supplemental indenture hereto. 

(b) In the case of a Default under the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. A
“Default” shall occur upon (i) the occurrence of a Winding-Up Event that occurs before the Conversion Date or (ii) the occurrence of a
Non-Payment Event or (iii) a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation, in each case with respect to the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Securities. 

  
 -32- 

 (c) Notwithstanding the limitations on remedies specified under this Article 5, (i) the
Trustee shall have such powers as are required to be authorized to it under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the rights of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series under the provisions of this
Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture and any supplemental indenture hereto, and (ii) nothing shall impair the right of a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series under the Trust Indenture Act,
absent such Holder’s or Beneficial Owner’s consent, to sue for any payment due but unpaid with respect to the relevant Contingent Convertible Securities; provided that, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, any payments in respect
of, or arising from, the Contingent Convertible Securities, including any payments or amounts resulting or arising from the enforcement of any rights under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the Contingent Convertible Securities, shall be subject
to the subordination provisions set forth in Section 12.01 and any subordination provision in any supplemental indenture hereto. 
 (d)
Subject to applicable law and except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, no Holder or Beneficial Owner may exercise, claim or plead any right of set-off, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by the Company arising under, or in connection with, the Contingent Convertible Securities and this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture
or any supplemental indenture hereto and each Holder and Beneficial Owner shall, by virtue of its holding of any Contingent Convertible Security, be deemed to have waived all such rights of set-off,
compensation or retention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amounts due and payable to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Contingent Convertible Securities by the Company in respect of, or arising under, the Contingent Convertible Securities
or this Contingent Convertible Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto are discharged by set-off, such Holder or Beneficial Owner shall, subject to applicable law and except as otherwise provided as
contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, immediately pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount of such discharge (or, in the event of its
winding-up or administration, the liquidator or administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, until such time as payment is made, shall hold an amount equal to such amount in trust for the Company (or
the liquidator or administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, accordingly, any such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place. By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner agrees to
be bound by these provisions relating to waiver of set-off. 
 (e) Subject to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act, no Holder or Beneficial Owner of Contingent Convertible Securities shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Company except as set forth in Section 5.08 hereof. 

(f) No recourse for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Contingent Convertible Security, or for
any claim based thereon or on any Coupon or otherwise in respect thereof or of such Coupon and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, or in any Contingent
Convertible Security or in any Coupon, 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture and the issue of the
Contingent Convertible Securities. 

  
 -33- 

 Section 5.05 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, winding up or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series or
to the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors (other than under or in connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency), the Trustee (irrespective, if applicable, of whether
the principal of the Contingent Convertible 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 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 or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of a Contingent Convertible Security and each holder of a Coupon 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 6.07. 
 Subject to Article 8 and Section 9.02, 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 Contingent Convertible Security or any holder of any Coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
or composition affecting any Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons or the rights of any Holder of any Contingent Convertible Security or any holder of any Coupon or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder
or 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. 

With respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons, the provisions of this Section 5.05 are subject to the subordination
provisions of Section 12.01 and any subordination provisions applicable to the Contingent Convertible Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof. 

Section 5.06 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Contingent Convertible Securities. All rights of action and claim
under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture or the Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons 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 

  
 -34- 

 
Company, to the subordination provisions of Section 12.01 and any subordination provisions applicable to the Contingent Convertible Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof) be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Securities and any holders of Coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

Section 5.07 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article or, after a Default, any
money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, in respect of any series of Contingent Convertible 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 interest, if any, upon presentation of such Contingent Convertible Securities and any Coupons and the notation thereon
of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts applicable to such
series of Contingent Convertible Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money or property has been collected or is distributable to the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) under Section 6.07; 

SECOND: Subject to the subordination provisions set forth in Section 12.01 and any subordination provisions in any supplemental indenture
hereto applicable to the Contingent Convertible Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such series of Contingent Convertible
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 Contingent Convertible Securities for principal, if any,
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Company or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 Section 5.08 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Contingent Convertible Security of
any series or holder of any Coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Contingent Convertible 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 that a Default has occurred and remains uncured with
respect to Contingent Convertible Securities of the same series specifying such 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 Contingent Convertible Securities of such series shall
have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Default in its own name, as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c)
such Holder of a Contingent Convertible Security or holder of a Coupon has offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with
such request; 

  
 -35- 

 (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; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Trustee during such sixty-day (60-day) period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of such series;

 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities of a particular series or holders of Coupons
appertaining thereto shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of any provision of this Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of
all Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities of such series or holders of such Coupons. 
 Section 5.09 Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest, if any. To the extent required by the Trust Indenture Act, and subject to the subordination provisions set forth in Section 12.01 and any subordination and/or other provisions in any
supplemental indenture hereto, but otherwise notwithstanding any other provision in this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, the Holder of any Contingent Convertible Security or the holder of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have the
right to receive (subject to Section 3.07) payment of any principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Contingent Convertible Security on the respective Stated Maturities, if any, as expressed in such Contingent Convertible
Security or Coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), 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 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of any Contingent Convertible Security or the holder
of any Coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities and the holders of Coupons shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities and the holders of Coupons shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities
or holders of Coupons 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. 

  
 -36- 

 Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee
or of any Holder of any Contingent Convertible Security or holder of any Coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities or holders of any Coupons may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by
the Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities or holders of any Coupons, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.13 Control by
Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities of such series, provided that 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, as determined by the
Trustee in its sole discretion; 
 (b) such direction shall not be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of any Contingent Convertible
Securities of such series not taking part in the direction, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion; 
 (c) the Trustee may take
any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is consistent with such direction; and 
 (d) no provision herein shall be deemed to
require the Trustee to take any action or forebear from any action directed by Holders unless the Trustee has received security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion. 

Section 5.14 Waiver of Certain Past Defaults. 

(a) Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of any series may on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series waive any past Default that results from a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation. Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of such series shall not be entitled to waive any past Default that results from a Winding-Up Event or a Non-Payment Event.

 (b) Upon the occurrence of any waiver permitted by paragraph (a) above, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Default with
respect to any series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.  

  
 -37- 

 Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Contingent Convertible
Securities Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Contingent Convertible Security and each holder of any Coupon by his 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 Contingent Convertible 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
Contingent Convertible Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder or holder of a Coupon for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Contingent Convertible Security on
or after the respective Stated Maturities, if any, expressed in such Contingent Convertible Security or Coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

Section 5.16 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture; and 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.

 THE
TRUSTEE 
 Section 6.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and this Contingent Convertible Securities
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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. 

(b) Except during the continuance of a Default, 

  
 -38-

are specifically set forth in this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which
by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture
(but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) In case a Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
 (d) No provision of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture
shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 

(i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section; 

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of any series.

Contingent Convertible Securities of any series the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06 to Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities of such series notice of such Default hereunder actually known
to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee determine in good faith
that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities of such series. 

  
 -39- 

 Section 6.03 Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.01: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,

presented by the proper party or parties;

a Company Request or Company Order and any action or resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or delegates thereof shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or Delegated Person Resolution, as applicable; 

(c) whenever in the administration of this Contingent Convertible 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, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate; 

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the 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 Contingent Convertible Securities
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion
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 and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of
such inquiry or investigation; provided that the Company shall not be required to disclose such information which the Company is prevented from disclosing as a matter of law or contract;

attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

 -40- 

 (i) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable to the Company for punitive
damages or any special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of
the form of action; 
 (j) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or actual knowledge of any Default or event which, with the passage
of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a Default, unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an event or Default, as the case may be, is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Contingent Convertible Securities and this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture; 
 (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 Person acting as Trustee in each of its other capacities
hereunder; 
 (l) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and titles of
officers authorized to take specified actions pursuant to this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture; and 
 (m) money held by the
Trustee and any Paying Agent in trust hereunder may be held uninvested and the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 

Section 6.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Contingent Convertible Securities. The recitals contained herein and in
the Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture or of the Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons, except that the Trustee represents and warrants that it has duly
authorized, executed and delivered this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Contingent Convertible Securities or the proceeds
thereof. 
 Section 6.05 May Hold Contingent Convertible Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent,
any Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities or Coupons and, subject to
Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Contingent Convertible Security Registrar, Calculation Agent or such other agent. 

Section 6.06 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. 

  
 -41- 

 Section 6.07 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 (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 Contingent Convertible 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; 
 (c) to indemnify the Trustee, its directors,
officers, employees and agents and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its 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 itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder but excluding any tax
liabilities of the Trustee based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee; 
 (d) 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 if the Trustee determines that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists then the Trustee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. 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; and 

(e) as security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a senior claim to
which the Contingent Convertible Securities are hereby made subordinate, upon all property and 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 interest, if any, on
the Contingent Convertible Securities. The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, the termination of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture for
any reason or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee and any exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible
Securities. 
 In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, when the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services in connection with a Winding-Up Event specified in Section 5.01, the expenses (including the reasonably and properly incurred charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 

  
 -42- 

 “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee;
provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 

Section 6.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning 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 Contingent Convertible Securities
Indenture. 
 Section 6.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect
to each series which shall be a corporation 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 exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State or District of Columbia authority and, if there be such corporation willing and able to act as trustee on reasonable and customary terms, having
its corporate trust office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. If such corporation 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 corporation 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 the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

Section 6.10 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 6.11. 
 (b) The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Contingent Convertible 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 6.11 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation or notice of removal as described below, the resigning or removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at
any time with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

 (d) If at any time: 

  
 -43- 

 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written
request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Contingent Convertible 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 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by
the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Contingent Convertible 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 or a Delegated Person Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to any or all
series of Contingent Convertible Securities or (y) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Contingent Convertible Security for at least six (6) months (and, in the case of Section 6.10(d)(i)
above, who is a Holder of a Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution or a
Delegated Person Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series (it being understood that any successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Contingent
Convertible Securities of one or more or all of such series and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of any particular series), and shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 6.11. If, within one (1) year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible 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 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Contingent Convertible Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the
manner hereinafter required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities of such series. 

  
 -44- 

 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Contingent Convertible 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, subject to the senior claim provided for in Section 6.07(e). 
 (b) In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible
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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible
Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

  
 -45- 

 (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 6.12 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Contingent Convertible Securities. 

Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Contingent Convertible 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 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may at any time appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to one or more series of Contingent Convertible Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities, and Contingent Convertible Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Contingent Convertible Securities
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Contingent Convertible
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 

  
 -46- 

 
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 Contingent Convertible
Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06. 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. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Contingent
Convertible Securities Indenture. 

Date:                
 
  

	
	 THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON,

	By:
                                         
                               
	 as Authenticating Agent

	
	By:                                     
                                   
	 Authorized Signatory

  
 -47- 

 If all of the Contingent Convertible Securities of a series may not be originally issued at
one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Contingent Convertible Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Contingent Convertible 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 1.02 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 Contingent Convertible Securities.

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation,

 Section 8.02 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 8.01, 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 Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, the Contingent Convertible Securities
and the Coupons, if any. 
 Section 8.03 Assumption of Obligations. Subject to applicable law and regulation (including, if and
to the extent required by the Capital Regulations at such time, the prior consent of the PRA), with respect to the Contingent Convertible 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) to duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on
any series of Contingent Convertible Securities if and to the extent due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Contingent Convertible Securities, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture and
the performance of every covenant of this Contingent Convertible Security Indenture and such series of Contingent Convertible 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 this Contingent Convertible 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 this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, irrevocably guarantee (such
guarantee to be given on a basis consistent with the ranking of the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series) all of the obligations of such successor entity under the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series and this Contingent
Convertible 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 10.04 in respect of the
Contingent Convertible Securities and any related Coupons, references to such successor entity’s country of organization will be added to references to the United Kingdom); 

(b) such successor entity shall confirm in such amendment to this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture that such successor entity will
pay all Additional Amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 10.04 in respect of all the Contingent Convertible Securities and any related Coupons (provided, however, that for these purposes such successor entity’s country
of organization will be substituted for the references to the United Kingdom); 
 (c) immediately after giving effect to such assumption of
obligations, no Winding-Up Event and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become a Winding-Up Event, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

  
 -51- 

 (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. 

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 Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture with respect to any such Contingent Convertible Securities with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company in this Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible 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 10.04 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 10.04) imposed by any Taxing Jurisdiction by reason of such payments.

COVENANTS 

Section 10.01 Payment of Principal, Premium, and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series
of Contingent Convertible Securities that it will (subject to Article 3 and the subordination provisions of Section 12.01 and any subordination provisions in any supplemental indenture hereto applicable to the Contingent Convertible Securities
of that series pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof) duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Contingent Convertible Securities of that series if and to the extent due and payable in accordance with
the terms of the Contingent Convertible Securities, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture. 

Section 10.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Contingent

surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Contingent Convertible Securities of that series and any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Contingent Convertible
Securities Indenture may be served; provided, however, that at the option of the Company in the case of registered Contingent Convertible Securities of such series, payment of any interest thereon may be made by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled herein as such address shall appear in the Contingent Convertible Security Register, unless such person requests payment by wire transfer pursuant to Section 3.07. With respect to the Contingent Convertible

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 Contingent Convertible Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto 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 10.03 Money for Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at
any time act as Paying Agent with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, it will, subject to Sections 3.12 and 3.13 or any other interest cancellation provisions applicable to the
Contingent Convertible Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.01, on or before each date for payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the Contingent Convertible Securities of that series,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, so
becoming payable until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will, subject to any interest cancellation provisions applicable to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series pursuant to
Section 3.01, promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, it will, subject to Sections 3.12 and 3.13 or any other interest cancellation provisions applicable to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.01, prior to each

becoming payable, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest in accordance with the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Company will, subject to Sections 3.12 and 3.13 or any other interest cancellation provisions applicable to the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.01, promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
its failure so to act. The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Contingent Convertible 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: 
 (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 interest, if any, on Contingent Convertible Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Contingent Convertible 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 default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Contingent Convertible Securities of that
series) in the making of any payment, when due and payable, or principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on Contingent Convertible Securities of that series; and 

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent. 

  
 -57- 

 The Company may at the time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Contingent Convertible 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 interest, if any, on any Contingent Convertible Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after any such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, 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 Contingent Convertible Security and the holder of any Coupon appertaining thereto 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 Authorized Newspapers, published in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York and London, England, 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 10.04 Additional Amounts. 

(a) Unless otherwise specified in the terms of Contingent Convertible Securities of a series in accordance with Section 3.01, the Company
will pay any amounts to be paid by the Company on any series of Contingent Convertible Securities without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax
(each a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. Unless otherwise specified in the terms of the Contingent Convertible Securities of a series in accordance with Section 3.01, if at any
time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Company to deduct or withhold Taxes, the Company will pay the additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on, such series of Contingent Convertible Securities
(“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary so that the net amounts paid to the Holders of such series of Contingent Convertible Securities, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have been payable in
respect of such series of Contingent Convertible Securities had no such deduction or withholding been required. However the Company will not pay Additional Amounts for Taxes that are payable because: 

  
 -58- 

 (i) the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of the Contingent Convertible
Securities is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engages in business or maintains a permanent establishment or is physically present in, a Taxing Jurisdiction requiring that deduction or withholding, or otherwise has some connection with the
Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the relevant Contingent Convertible Securities, or the collection of any payment of, or in respect of, principal of, any premium, or any interest on, any Contingent Convertible Securities of
the relevant series; 
 (ii) except in the case of a winding up of the Company in England the relevant Contingent Convertible
Securities are presented for payment in the United Kingdom; 
 (iii) the relevant Contingent Convertible 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 of the relevant Contingent Convertible Securities would have been entitled to the
Additional Amounts on presenting the Contingent Convertible Security for payment at the close of such thirty-day (30-day) period; 

(iv) the Holder or the Beneficial Owner of the relevant Contingent Convertible Securities or the beneficial owner of any
payment of (or in respect of) principal of, premium, if any, or any interest on such Contingent Convertible 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, Beneficial Owner 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; or 
 (v) if such Taxes would not have been so imposed,
or would have been excluded pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above inclusive, if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, such Contingent Convertible Securities had been the Holder of such
Contingent Convertible Securities. 
 Whenever in this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the
principal of, or any interest on (and premium, if any), or in respect of, any Contingent Convertible 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 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. The limitations and restrictions on interest payments described under Sections 3.12 and 3.13 hereof shall apply to any Additional Amounts mutatis mutandis. 

(b) Any amounts to be paid by the Company or any paying agent on any series of Contingent Convertible Securities shall be paid net of any
deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the

  
 -59- 

 
Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the
Code (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and neither the Company nor any paying agent shall be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01, with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, any
Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series and this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture for or on account of (i) any
present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and (ii) any FATCA Withholding Tax (together, “Applicable Law”). In either case, the Paying Agent shall make any payment after a
deduction or withholding has been made pursuant to Applicable Law and shall report to the relevant authorities the amount so deducted or withheld. In all cases, the Paying Agent shall have no obligation to gross up any payment made subject to any
deduction or withholding pursuant to Applicable Law. In addition, amounts deducted or withheld by the Paying Agent under this Section 10.04(c) will be treated as paid to the Holder of a Contingent Convertible Security, and the Company will not
pay Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent the provisions in this Section 10.04 explicitly provide otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations and restriction on interest payments
described under Sections 3.12 and 3.13 hereof shall apply to any Additional Amounts mutatis mutandis. 
 (d) The Company hereby
covenants with the Trustee that it will provide the Trustee with information, to the extent reasonably available to the Company, so as to enable the Trustee to determine whether any payments to be made by it pursuant to this Contingent Convertible
Securities Indenture are withholdable payments as defined in section 1473(1) of the Code (or as otherwise defined in Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof) or any
intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement), provided, however, that the Company’s obligation
under this Section 10.04(d) shall apply only to the extent that payments with respect to Contingent Convertible Securities are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Company, the Contingent Convertible Securities, or both. 

Section 10.05 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 
 Section 10.06 Statement as to Compliance. The Company will
deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, a certificate in compliance with Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture
Act.

REDEMPTION OF CONTINGENT CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES 

Section 11.01 Applicability of Article. Contingent Convertible Securities of any series shall be redeemable prior to their Stated
Maturity, if any, in accordance with their terms and, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Contingent Convertible Securities of any series, in accordance with this Article.

such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Contingent Convertible Securities of such series to be redeemed, and shall notify the Trustee of such election at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the notice of redemption
is sent to Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). In the case of any redemption of Contingent Convertible Securities of any series prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Contingent Convertible Securities or elsewhere in this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with or waiver of such restrictions.

 Section 11.03 Selection by Trustee of Contingent Convertible Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Contingent
Convertible Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Contingent Convertible Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee (unless a shorter or longer period is specified in the terms of a particular series of Contingent Convertible Securities, pursuant to Section 3.01), from the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of such series not previously
called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, subject to applicable Depositary procedures, and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
registered Contingent Convertible Securities of that series or any multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Contingent Convertible Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Contingent
Convertible Securities of that series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Contingent Convertible Securities
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Contingent Convertible Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
redemption of Contingent Convertible Securities shall relate in the case of any Contingent Convertible Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such registered Contingent Convertible Security
which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 11.04 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, notice of
redemption shall be given not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Contingent Convertible Securities to be redeemed in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 1.06. 

  
 -61- 

 (b) All notices of redemption shall state: 

(i) the Redemption Date, 

(ii) the Redemption Price, 

(iii) if less than all the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification

(iv) that, subject to any conditions contained in the indenture supplemental hereto establishing the terms of the Contingent
Convertible Securities to be redeemed, on the Redemption Date the, Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Contingent Convertible Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on or after
the said date, 
 (v) the place or places where such Contingent Convertible Securities are to be surrendered for payment of
the Redemption Price, and 
 (vi) the CUSIP number or numbers, if any, with respect to such Contingent Convertible
Securities. 
 (c) Notice of redemption of Contingent Convertible Securities to be redeemed at the selection of the Company shall be given by
the Company or, at the Company’s Request and upon provision to the Trustee of such notice information, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

(d) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, if the
Company has delivered a notice of redemption, but as of the Redemption Date specified in such notice, the Solvency Condition with respect to the series of Contingent Convertible Securities to be redeemed is not satisfied in respect of the relevant
redemption payment, such redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment in respect of the Redemption Price shall be due and payable. The Company shall notify the Holders of the series of
Contingent Convertible Securities to be redeemed and the Trustee of any such rescission as soon as practicable prior to, or, as the case may be, following, the applicable Redemption Date, provided however that failure to provide such notice will not
have any impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such rescission. 
 (e) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, if the Company has delivered a notice of redemption, but prior to the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such redemption a Capital Adequacy Trigger Event
occurs with respect to the series of Contingent Convertible Securities to be redeemed, such redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, no payment in respect of the Redemption Price shall be due and
payable, and, unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the series of Contingent Convertible Securities being redeemed, an Automatic Conversion shall occur after such Capital Adequacy Trigger Event with respect
to the series of Contingent Convertible Securities to be redeemed. 

  
 -62- 

 (f) If the Company has delivered a notice of redemption, but prior to the payment of the
Redemption Price with respect to such redemption the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority exercises its U.K. Bail-in Power in respect of such Contingent Convertible Securities, such redemption notice shall be
automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment in respect of the Redemption Price shall be due and payable. 

(g) If any of the events specified in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) above occurs, the Company shall promptly deliver notice to the Holders
of the relevant Contingent Convertible Securities via DTC (or, if such Contingent Convertible Securities Securities are definitive Contingent Convertible Securities, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the Contingent Convertible Security
Register) and to the Trustee directly, specifying the occurrence of the relevant event. 
 Section 11.05 Deposit of Redemption

Section 11.06 Contingent Convertible Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid,
the Contingent Convertible Securities so to be redeemed shall, subject to any conditions contained in the indenture supplemental hereto establishing the terms of the Contingent Convertible Securities of such series, become due and payable at the

accrue interest. Upon surrender of any such Contingent Convertible Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Contingent Convertible Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued but unpaid
interest (if any) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Contingent Convertible Securities in registered form, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, a payment of interest which is
payable on an Interest Payment Date which is on or before the Redemption Date, shall be payable to the Holders of such Contingent Convertible Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Regular Record Date according to the terms of the Contingent Convertible Securities and the provisions of Article 3. 
 If any
Contingent Convertible Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from and after the Redemption Date in accordance with the terms of such
Contingent Convertible Security and the provisions of Article 3. 

  
 -63- 

 Section 11.07 Contingent Convertible Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Contingent
Convertible Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, only in the case of Contingent Convertible Securities in registered form, 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 attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Contingent Convertible Security without service charge payable by the Holder, a new Contingent Convertible Security or Contingent Convertible 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 Contingent Convertible Security so surrendered. 

Section 11.08 Limitations on Redemption. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture
and unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, the Company may redeem any series of Contingent Convertible Securities (and give notice thereof to the Holders of the
relevant Contingent Convertible Securities) only if the Company has obtained the prior consent of the PRA and/or any other relevant national or European authority (in either case, if such consent is then required by the Capital Regulations) for the
redemption of the Contingent Convertible Securities. 
 Section 11.09 Officer’s Certificate Related to PRA
Consent (Redemption). At the Trustee’s request, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the prior consent of the PRA and/or any other relevant national or European authority specified in

as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, the Company or any member of the Group may purchase or otherwise acquire any Outstanding Contingent Convertible Securities of any series at any
price in the open market or otherwise in accordance with the Capital Regulations applicable to the Group in force at the relevant time, and subject to the prior consent of the PRA and/or any other relevant national or European authority (in either
case, if such consent is then required by the Capital Regulations) and to applicable law and regulations. 
 Section 11.11 Cancelled
Interest Not Payable Upon Redemption. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, any interest payments in respect of any series of Contingent Convertible
Securities that have been cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to Sections 3.12 or 3.13 hereof shall not be payable if such Contingent Convertible Securities are redeemed pursuant to this Article, or any other redemption provision as contemplated
by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities.

 ARTICLE 12 

SUBORDINATION OF CONTINGENT CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES 

Section 12.01 Status of the Contingent Convertible Securities. 

(a) Each Contingent Convertible Security of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall constitute the Company’s direct,
unsecured and subordinated obligations, ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Securities, in the event
of a winding up or administration of the Company, the rights and claims of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of any series of Contingent Convertible Securities in respect of, or arising from, such Contingent Convertible Securities (including any
damages (if payable)) will be subordinated to the claims of Senior Creditors. 
 (b) If: 

(i) an order is made, or an effective resolution is passed, for the winding-up of the
Company (except in any such case for a solvent winding-up solely for the purpose of a merger, reconstruction or amalgamation); or 

(ii) following the appointment of an administrator of the Company, the administrator gives notice that it intends to declare
and distribute a dividend, 
 then (1) if such events specified in (i) or (ii) above occur with respect to a particular series of Contingent
Convertible Securities prior to the date on which a Capital Adequacy Trigger Event for such series of Contingent Convertible Securities occurs, there shall be payable by the Company in respect of each such Contingent Convertible Security (in lieu of
any other payment by the Company), such amount, if any, as would have been payable to a Holder of Contingent Convertible Securities if, on the day prior to the commencement of such winding-up or administration
and thereafter, such Holder of Contingent Convertible Securities were the holder of the most senior class of preference shares in the capital of the Company, having an equal right to a return of assets in such
winding-up or administration to, and so ranking pari passu with, the holders of such class of preference shares (if any) from time to time issued by the Company that has a preferential right to a return
of assets in such winding-up or administration, and so ranking ahead of the holders of all other classes of issued shares for the time being in the capital of the Company, but ranking junior to the claims of
Senior Creditors, and on the assumption that the amount that such Holder of Contingent Convertible Securities was entitled to receive in respect of such preference shares, on a return of assets in such
winding-up or administration, was an amount equal to the principal amount of the relevant Contingent Convertible Security, together with any damages (if payable), and (2) if such events specified in
(i) or (ii) above occur with respect to a particular series of Contingent Convertible Securities on or after the date on which a Capital Adequacy Trigger Event for such series of Contingent Convertible Securities occurs but before the
Conversion Date for such series of Contingent Convertible Securities, then for purposes of determining the claim of a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Contingent Convertible Securities in such winding-up or
administration, the Conversion Date in respect of an Automatic Conversion shall be deemed to have occurred immediately before the occurrence of such events specified in (i) or (ii) above. 

  
 -65- 

 (c) Other than in the event of a winding-up or
administration of the Company as described in paragraph (b) above, payments in respect of or arising from the Contingent Convertible Securities shall be conditional (i) upon the Company’s being solvent at the time of payment by the
Company, and (ii) in that no sum in respect of or arising from the Contingent Convertible Securities may fall due and be paid except to the extent that the Company could make such payment and still be solvent immediately thereafter (such
condition referred to herein as the “Solvency Condition”). For purposes of determining whether the Solvency Condition is met, the Company shall be considered to be solvent at a particular point in time if (i) it is able to pay
its debts owed to Senior Creditors as they fall due and (ii) the Balance Sheet Condition has been met. 
 (d) An Officer’s
Certificate as to the Company’s solvency at any particular point in time shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee, the Holders, the Beneficial Owners and all other interested parties as correct and sufficient evidence thereof. 

(e) The “Balance Sheet Condition” shall be satisfied in relation to the Company if the value of its assets is at least equal
to the value of its liabilities (taking into account its contingent and prospective liabilities), according to the criteria that would be applied by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (or the relevant authority of such other jurisdiction
in which the Company may be organized) in determining whether the Company is “unable to pay its debts” under section 123(2) of the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986 or any amendment or re-enactment
thereof (or in accordance with the corresponding provisions of the applicable laws of such other jurisdiction in which the Company may be organized). 

(f) Any payment of interest not due by reason of the provisions contained in Section 12.01(a), (b) and (c) shall be deemed cancelled
pursuant to Section 3.13 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 13 

U.K. BAIL-IN POWER AND BRRD ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

Section 13.01 U.K. Bail-in Power Acknowledgement. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the
Contingent Convertible Securities, by acquiring any Contingent Convertible Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner of the Contingent Convertible Securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Contingent Convertible
Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion of, the principal amount of, or interest on, the Contingent Convertible Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Company or another person (and the issue to, or
conferral on, the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Contingent Convertible Securities such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity, if any, of the Contingent Convertible Securities, or
amendment of the amount of interest due on the Contingent Convertible Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-in

Each Holder 

  
 -66- 

 
and Beneficial Owner further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary,
solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this consent and acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights Holders and
Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities may have at law if and to the extent that any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in breach of laws applicable
in England. 
 (b) By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Securities, each Holder and Beneficial Owner: 

(i) acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant
U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to a particular series of Contingent Convertible Securities shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in
Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act, 
 (ii) to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and
all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with
the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities, 

(iii) acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the
Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority, (a) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Contingent Convertible Securities under Section 5.13 of this Contingent Convertible
Securities Indenture and (b) this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture imposes no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K.
Resolution Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to a particular series of
Contingent Convertible Securities, the Contingent Convertible Securities remain Outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of such
Contingent Convertible Securities), then the Trustee’s duties under this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities following such completion to the extent that the
Company and the Trustee shall have agreed pursuant to a supplemental indenture to this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, and 

(iv) shall be deemed to have (a) consented to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in
Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to a particular series of Contingent Convertible Securities and (b) authorized, directed and
requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Contingent Convertible Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder and such Beneficial Owner or the Trustee. 

  
 -67- 

 (c) No repayment of the principal amount of the Contingent Convertible Securities or payment
of interest on the Contingent Convertible Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would
be permitted to be made by the Company under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Company. 

(d) Upon the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect
to a particular series of Contingent Convertible Securities, the Company shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power for purposes of notifying
Holders and Beneficial Owners of such occurrence. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. 

(e) The Company’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.07 of this Contingent Convertible Securities
Indenture shall survive any exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Contingent Convertible Securities, but shall be subject to Section 13.02 below.

 (f) The exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect
to the Contingent Convertible Securities shall not constitute a Default. 
 Section 13.02 Parties’
Acknowledgement with respect to Treatment of Company BRRD Liabilities and Registrar BRRD Liabilities.

to the exclusion of any other term of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, any supplemental indenture hereto or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the parties, each of the Trustee and the Contingent Convertible

(D) the amendment or alteration of any interest, if applicable, thereon, the maturity or the dates on which any payments are
due, including by suspending payment for a temporary period;

Convertible Securities Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto, as deemed necessary by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of U.K. Bail-in Powers by the Relevant U.K.

 (b) Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Contingent Convertible Securities Indenture, any
supplemental indenture hereto or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the parties, each of the Trustee and the Company acknowledges and accepts that a Registrar BRRD Liability arising under this Contingent Convertible
