ARTICLE ONE
Modifications
Section 1.01. Section 16.05 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of clause (a):
“With respect to any Securities designated as warrants, nothing contained in this Section 16.05(a) shall prohibit the transfer of the Guarantee or any interest or obligation of the Guarantor in or under the Guarantee to another entity as transferee as part of the resolution, restructuring or reorganization of the Guarantor upon or following the Guarantor becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution or similar proceeding.”
Section 1.02. Section 17.12 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of clause (a):
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Company or the Guarantor becomes subject to a proceeding under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (each, a “U.S. Special Resolution Regime”), the transfer of any Securities designated as warrants and the related Guarantee (together, the “Relevant Agreements”), and the transfer of any interest and obligation in or under the Relevant Agreements, from the Company or the Guarantor, respectively, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under such U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreements, and any interest and obligation in or under the Relevant Agreements, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event the Company or the Guarantor, or any of their affiliates (as such term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)), becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, default rights against the Company or the Guarantor with respect to the Relevant Agreements are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such default rights could be exercised under such U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreements were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. For purposes of this paragraph “default right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. 252.81, 12 C.F.R. 382.1 and 12 C.F.R. 47.1, as applicable.”
Section 1.03. Section 5.03 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the existing clause (c) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
“(c) If the Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent 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 5.03 and Section 12.09, that such Paying Agent shall:
(i) hold all sums held by such Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Securities; and
(ii) at any time during the continuance of any default by the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series in the making of any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall have become due and payable, upon the written request of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.”
Section 1.04. Section 5.06 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting clause (b) in its entirety.
Section 1.05. Section 10.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the existing clause (o) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
“(o) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any default or event of default unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and, if such notice is provided by the Company or the Guarantor, such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.”
