The respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities to be severally purchased by each of the Underwriters are set forth opposite their names in Schedule A hereto.

In connection with the issue of the Notes, Barclays Bank PLC, as stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing Manager”) (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager), may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after the date on which the Company received the proceeds of the issue and 60 calendar days after the date of the allotment of the Notes. Such stabilization shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. Any loss or profit sustained as a consequence of any such over-allotment or stabilization shall be for the account of the Stabilizing Manager. The Underwriters acknowledge that the Company has not authorized the creation and issue of Notes in excess of €500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

Except as set forth below, the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and the following provisions are hereby added thereto and made a part thereof:

(b)     Each Underwriter hereby severally represents and agrees that in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each underwriter hereby severally represents and agrees that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the Relevant Implementation Date) it has not made and will not make an offer of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Prospectus to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:

5.     (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; (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;

(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.
