IMPORTANT ­ PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the pricing supplement in respect of any notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales

Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or
more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID
II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the
"Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT ­ PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS
If the pricing supplement in respect of any notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales
to UK Retail Investors", the notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available
to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or
more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA"); or
(ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
("FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance
Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in
point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of
the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic
law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful
under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if the pricing supplement in respect of the notes
includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" or "Prohibition of Sales to
UK Retail Investors" but the Issuer subsequently prepares and publishes a key information
document under the PRIIPs Regulation or the UK PRIIPs Regulation in respect of such notes, then
the prohibition on the offering, sale or otherwise making available of the notes to retail investors as
described above paragraph shall no longer apply.

may be able to redeem the notes in the event of certain developments
involving an original primary rate event and changes in law, as
described below, and, if the applicable pricing supplement provide for
the gross-up of any payments due on the notes, we may redeem the
notes in the event of changes involving U.S. withholding taxes.

amounts on those payments unless the applicable pricing supplement
provide for the gross-up of any payments due on the notes and only
under certain circumstances as described below under "Description of

upon change in law
(including a change in interpretation by a relevant authority) (i) the
performance by us or our affiliates under the notes and/or any related
hedge positions has become unlawful or impractical in whole or in part
for any reason or (ii) the performance under the notes will result in
materially increased costs to us and/or any of our affiliates, then the
calculation agent may determine an adjustment, if any, to be made to
any one or more of the terms of the notes as the calculation agent
determines appropriate to account for the change in law or, unless the
applicable pricing supplement specifies otherwise, we may redeem, as
a whole but not in part, any outstanding issuance of notes. We may
also take such action if the calculation agent determines that the
performance by one of our affiliates under the notes and/or any related
hedge positions, assuming such affiliate had been the issuer of the
notes or party to any such hedging arrangement, would be unlawful or
impractical.

CMS Rate Notes" below) (1) the calculation agent determines that it
8

cannot identify a replacement primary rate or determine an
adjustment spread on or before the cut-off date, (2) it (A) is or would
be unlawful at any time under any applicable law or regulation; or (B)

Original Primary Rate Event on EURIBOR Notes, Euro Interest Rate
Swap Notes, non-USD LIBOR Notes and USD CMS Rate Notes"
below (or it would be unlawful or would contravene those licensing
requirements were a determination to be made at such time), (3) the
calculation agent determines that an adjustment spread is or would
be a benchmark, index or other price source whose production,
publication, methodology or governance would subject either us or
the calculation agent to material additional regulatory obligations
(such as the obligations for administrators under the Benchmark
Regulation (as defined below under "Risk Factors -- Risk Factors
Related to Notes Linked to Benchmark Underlyers such as LIBOR
and EURIBOR")) which it is unwilling to undertake or (4) the
calculation agent determines that having identified a replacement
primary rate and determined an adjustment spread on or before the
cut-off date, the adjustments would not achieve a commercially
reasonable result for either us, the calculation agent or the holders.

Mergers and similar

transactions
entity, unless certain conditions are met.

Moreover, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing
supplement, we will be entitled, in the case of all fixed rate notes
payable in U.S. dollars, to release ourselves from any restrictive
covenants relating to the notes, subject to similar conditions as those
referred to above.
Events of default and
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, if an
remedies
event of default occurs and is continuing, with respect to your note you
may, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, by written notice
to us and the fiscal agent, declare the principal of your note to be

waiver of covenants
meetings of holders to consider matters affecting their interests.
Certain changes require each affected holder's approval, others
require no approval by holders and still others require the approval of
two-thirds of the holders.
