(a) Notwithstanding any other term of this agreement, the Underwriting Agreement or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the

Underwriters and the Company, each party acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be bound by:

(i) the effect of the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority in relation to any BRRD Liability of the Underwriters to the Company under this agreement and the Underwriting Agreement, that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (w) the reduction of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon; (x) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Underwriters or another person (and the issue to or conferral on the Company of such shares, securities or obligations); (y) the cancellation of the BRRD Liability; and (z) 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; and

(ii) the variation of the terms of this agreement and the Underwriting Agreement, as deemed necessary by the Relevant Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Resolution Authority.

(b) As used in this Section 7,

“Relevant Resolution Authority” means the resolution authority with the ability to exercise any Bail-in Powers in relation to the Underwriters.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent an Underwriter’s obligation to purchase Securities hereunder constitutes a BRRD Liability and such Underwriter does

not, on the Closing Date, purchase the full amount of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder due to the exercise by the Relevant Resolution Authority of its powers under the relevant Bail-in Legislation with respect to such BRRD Liability, such Underwriter shall be deemed, for all purposes of Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement, to have defaulted on its obligation to purchase such Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder but has not purchased, and Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the obligations of the other Underwriters.

The Closing will take place at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 1, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP (as successor to Hunton & Williams LLP), 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166.
