By its acquisition of the notes, each holder of the notes (including each beneficial owner) acknowledges, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any UK bail-in power (as defined below) by the relevant UK resolution authority (as defined below) that may result in (i) the cancellation, write-down or reduction of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the notes and/or (ii) any other modification of the notes and/or (iii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the notes into our or another person’s shares or other securities or other obligations to give effect to the exercise by the relevant UK resolution authority of such UK bail-in power, and the rights of the holders of the notes will be subject to the provisions of any UK bail-in power which are expressed to implement such a reduction, write-down, cancellation, modification or conversion. In addition, by its acquisition of the notes, each holder of the notes (including each beneficial owner) acknowledges, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any UK bail-in power by the UK resolution authority in relation to the guarantees of the notes.
