9(33)
such time as payment is made, shall hold an amount equal to such amount as escrow funds (redovisningsmedel) on a separate account on behalf of the Issuer (or the liquidator or, as appropriate, other insolvency practitioner appointed to the Issuer (as the case may be)) and accordingly any such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place.
3.4The Issuer reserves the right to issue further Tier 2 Capital and other subordinated notes and obligations in the future, which may rank pari passu with the Notes, as well as any capital instruments which may rank junior to the Notes, and any other capital instruments or obligations which may rank senior to the Notes.

6.4The Issuer shall issue any necessary power of attorney to such persons employed by the Agent, as notified by the Agent, in order for such individuals to independently obtain information directly from the Debt Register.

6.5The Issuer and the Agent may use the information referred to in Clause 6.3 only for the purposes of carrying out their duties and exercising their rights in accordance with the Finance Documents and the Agency Agreement and shall not disclose such information to any Noteholder or third party unless necessary for such purposes.
7.RIGHT TO ACT ON BEHALF OF A NOTEHOLDER
7.1If any person other than a Noteholder (including the owner of a Note, if such person is not the Noteholder) wishes to exercise any rights under the Finance Documents, it must obtain a power of attorney or other authorisation from the Noteholder or a successive, coherent chain of powers of attorney or authorisations starting with the Noteholder and authorising such person.
7.2A Noteholder may issue one or several powers of attorney or other authorisations to third parties to represent it in relation to all or some of the Notes held by it, respectively. Any such representative may act independently under the Finance Documents in relation to the Notes for which such representative is entitled to represent the Noteholder and may further delegate its right to represent the Noteholder.
7.3The Agent shall only have to examine the face of a power of attorney or other authorisation that has been provided to it pursuant to Clause 7.2 and may assume that such document has been duly authorised, is valid, has not been revoked or superseded and that it is in full force and effect, unless otherwise is apparent from its face or the Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary.
7.4These Terms and Conditions shall not affect the relationship between a Noteholder who is the nominee (forvaltare) with respect to a Note and the owner of such Note, and it is the responsibility of such nominee to observe and comply with any restrictions that may apply to it in this capacity.


11(33)
8.PAYMENTS IN RESPECT OF THE NOTES
8.1Any payment or repayment under the Finance Documents, or any amount due in respect of a repurchase of any Notes, shall be made to such person who is registered as a Noteholder on the Record Date prior to an Interest Payment Date or other relevant payment date, or to such other person who is registered with the CSD on such Record Date as being entitled to receive the relevant payment, repayment or repurchase amount.
8.2Provided that a Noteholder has registered an income account (avkastningskonto) for the relevant Securities Account on the applicable Record Date, the CSD shall procure that principal, interest and other payments under the Notes are deposited to such income account on the relevant payment date. If an income account has not been registered on the Record Date for the payment, no payment will be effected by the CSD to such Noteholder. The outstanding amount will instead be held by the Issuer until the person that was registered as a Noteholder on the relevant Record Date has made a valid request for such amount. Should the CSD, due to a delay on behalf of the Issuer or some other obstacle, not be able to effect payments as aforesaid, the Issuer shall procure that such amounts are paid to the persons who are registered as Noteholders as soon as possible after such obstacle has been removed.
8.3If, due to any obstacle for the CSD, the Issuer cannot make a payment or repayment, such payment or repayment may be postponed until the obstacle has been removed. For the avoidance of doubt, such postponement shall in no event constitute an event of default.
8.4If payment or repayment is made in accordance with this Clause 8 (Payments in respect of the Notes), the Issuer and the CSD shall be deemed to have fulfilled their obligation to pay, irrespective of whether such payment was made to a person not entitled to receive such amount.
8.5The Issuer is not liable to gross-up any payments under the Finance Documents by virtue of any withholding tax (including but not limited to any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, or any official interpretations thereof, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto), public levy or the similar.
9.INTEREST
9.1Each Note carries Interest at the Interest Rate applied to the Nominal Amount from (but excluding) the Issue Date up to (and including) the relevant Redemption Date.
9.2Interest accrues during an Interest Period. Payment of Interest in respect of the Notes shall be made quarterly in arrears to the Noteholders on each Interest Payment Date for the preceding Interest Period.
9.3Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the Interest Period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360 (actual/360-days basis).
9.4If the Issuer fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents on its due date, default interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from (but excluding) the due date up to (and including) the date of actual payment at a rate which is 200 basis points higher than the Interest Rate. The default interest shall not be capitalised but be payable to each person who was a


12(33)
Noteholder on the Record Date for the original due date. No default interest shall accrue where the failure to pay was solely attributable to the Agent or the CSD, in which case the Interest Rate shall apply instead.
10.REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF THE NOTES
10.1Permission from the Swedish FSA
The Issuer, or any other company forming part of the Consolidated Situation, may not redeem, purchase, substitute or vary as contemplated by this Clause 10 (Redemption and repurchase of the Notes) (except for Clause 10.2 (Redemption at Maturity)), any Notes without the prior written permission of the Swedish FSA (if and to the extent then required under the Applicable Capital Regulations) and in accordance with the Applicable Capital Regulations (including any pre-conditions set out therein).

16.4Interim measures
16.4.1If a Base Rate Event set out in any of the paragraphs (a) to (e) of the Base Rate Event definition has occurred but no Successor Base Rate and Adjustment Spread have been finally decided prior to the relevant Quotation Day in relation to the next succeeding Interest Period or if such Successor Base Rate and Adjustment Spread have been finally decided but due to technical limitations of the CSD, cannot be applied in relation to the relevant Quotation Day, the Interest Rate applicable to the next succeeding Interest Period shall be:
(a)if the previous Base Rate is available, determined pursuant to the terms that would apply to the determination of the Base Rate as if no Base Rate Event had occurred; or
(b)if the previous Base Rate is no longer available or cannot be used in accordance with applicable law or regulation, equal to the Interest Rate determined for the immediately preceding Interest Period.
16.4.2For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 16.4.1 shall apply only to the relevant next succeeding Interest Period and any subsequent Interest Periods are subject to the subsequent operation of, and to adjustments as provided in, this 16. This will however not limit the application of Clause 16.4.1 for any subsequent Interest Periods, should all relevant actions provided in this Clause 16 have been taken, but without success.
16.5Notices etc.
Prior to the Successor Base Rate, the applicable Adjustment Spread and any Base Rate Amendments become effective, the Issuer shall promptly following the final decision by the Independent Adviser of any Successor Base Rate, any Adjustment Spread and any Base Rate


25(33)
Amendments, give notice thereof to the Agent, the Issuing Agent and the Noteholders in accordance with Clause 22 (Notices) and the CSD. The notice shall also include information about the effective date of the amendments. If the Notes are admitted to trading on a stock exchange, the Issuer shall also give notice of the amendments to the relevant stock exchange.
16.6Variation upon replacement of Base Rate
16.6.1No later than giving the Agent notice pursuant to Clause 16.5, the Issuer shall deliver to the Agent a certificate signed by the Independent Adviser and the CEO, CFO or any other duly authorised signatory of the Issuer (subject to Clause 16.3.3) confirming the relevant Successor Base Rate, the Adjustment Spread and any Base Rate Amendments, in each case as determined and decided in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 16. The Successor Base Rate, the Adjustment Spread and any Base Rate Amendments (as applicable) specified in such certificate will, in the absence of manifest error or bad faith in any decision, be binding on the Issuer, the Agent, the Issuing Agent and the Noteholders.
16.6.2Subject to receipt by the Agent of the certificate referred to in Clause 16.6.1, the Issuer and the Agent shall, at the request and expense of the Issuer, without the requirement for any consent or approval of the Noteholders, without undue delay effect such amendments to the Finance Documents as may be required by the Issuer in order to give effect to this Clause 16.
16.6.3The Agent and the Issuing Agent shall always be entitled to consult with external experts prior to amendments are effected pursuant to this Clause 16. Neither the Agent nor the Issuing Agent shall be obliged to concur if in the reasonable opinion of the Agent or the Issuing Agent (as applicable), doing so would impose more onerous obligations upon it or expose it to any additional duties, responsibilities or liabilities or reduce or amend the protective provisions afforded to the Agent or the Issuing Agent in the Finance Documents.
16.7Limitation of liability for the Independent Adviser
Any Independent Adviser appointed pursuant to Clause 16.3 shall not be liable whatsoever for damage or loss caused by any determination, action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Independent Adviser shall never be responsible for indirect or consequential loss.
17.THE AGENT
17.1Appointment of the Agent
17.1.1By subscribing for Notes, each initial Noteholder appoints the Agent to act as its agent in all matters relating to the Notes and the Finance Documents, and authorises the Agent to act on its behalf (without first having to obtain its consent, unless such consent is specifically required by these Terms and Conditions) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to the Notes held by such Noteholder, including the winding-up, dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy (or its equivalent in any other jurisdiction) of the Issuer. By acquiring Notes, each subsequent Noteholder confirms such appointment and authorisation for the Agent to act on its behalf.
17.1.2Each Noteholder shall immediately upon request provide the Agent with any such documents, including a written power of attorney (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent), that the


26(33)
Agent deems necessary for the purpose of exercising its rights and/or carrying out its duties under the Finance Documents. The Agent is under no obligation to represent a Noteholder which does not comply with such request.
17.1.3The Issuer shall promptly upon request provide the Agent with any documents and other assistance (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent), that the Agent deems necessary for the purpose of exercising its rights and/or carrying out its duties under the Finance Documents.
17.1.4The Agent is entitled to fees for all its work in such capacity and to be indemnified for costs, losses and liabilities on the terms set out in the Finance Documents and the Agency Agreement and the Agent’s obligations as Agent under the Finance Documents are conditioned upon the due payment of such fees and indemnifications.
17.1.5The Agent may act as agent or trustee for several issues of securities or other loans issued by or relating to the Issuer and other Group Companies notwithstanding potential conflicts of interest.
17.2Duties of the Agent
17.2.1The Agent shall represent the Noteholders in accordance with the Finance Documents. However, and subject to Clause 17.2.10, the Agent is not responsible for the Issuer’s execution or the enforceability of the Finance Documents.
17.2.2When acting in accordance with the Finance Documents, the Agent is always acting with binding effect on behalf of the Noteholders. The Agent is never acting as an advisor to the Noteholders or the Issuer. Any advice or opinion from the Agent does not bind the Noteholders or the Issuer.
17.2.3When acting pursuant to the Finance Documents, the Agent shall carry out its duties with reasonable care and skill in a proficient and professional manner.
17.2.4The Agent shall treat all Noteholders equally and, when acting pursuant to the Finance Documents, act with regard only to the interests of the Noteholders as a group and shall not be required to have regard to the interests or to act upon or comply with any direction or request of any other person, other than as explicitly stated in the Finance Documents.
17.2.5The Agent is always entitled to delegate its duties to other professional parties and to engage external experts when carrying out its duties as agent, without having to first obtain any consent from the Noteholders or the Issuer. The Agent shall, however, remain liable for any actions of such parties if such parties are performing duties of the Agent under the Finance Documents.
17.2.6The Issuer shall on demand by the Agent pay all costs for external experts engaged by it:
(a)upon the occurrence of bankruptcy or liquidation of the Issuer in accordance with Clause 12.1;
(b)for the purpose of investigating or considering:
(i)an event or circumstance which the Agent reasonably believes is or may lead to a breach of the Terms and Conditions; or


27(33)
(ii)a matter relating to the Issuer which the Agent reasonably believes may be detrimental to the interests of the Noteholders under the Finance Documents;
(c)in connection with any Noteholders’ Meeting or Written Procedure; or
(d)in connection with any amendment (whether contemplated by the Finance Documents or not) or waiver under the Finance Documents.
17.2.7Any compensation for damages or other recoveries received by the Agent from external experts engaged by it for the purpose of carrying out its duties under the Finance Documents shall be distributed in accordance with Clause 13 (Distribution of proceeds).
17.2.8The Agent shall, as applicable, enter into agreements with the CSD, and comply with such agreement and the CSD Regulations applicable to the Agent, as may be necessary in order for the Agent to carry out its duties under the Finance Documents.
17.2.9Other than as specifically set out in the Finance Documents, the Agent shall not be obliged to monitor (i) whether any event set out in Clause 12.1 has occurred, (ii) the performance, default or any breach by the Issuer or any other party of its obligations under the Finance Documents, or (iii) whether any other event specified in any Finance Document has occurred or is expected to occur, and should the Agent not receive such information, the Agent is entitled to assume that no such event or circumstance exists or can be expected to occur, provided that the Agent does not have actual knowledge of such event or circumstance.
17.2.10The Agent shall ensure that it receives evidence satisfactory to it that the Terms and Conditions which are required to be delivered to the Agent are duly authorised and executed (as applicable). The Issuer shall promptly upon request provide the Agent with such documents and evidence as the Agent reasonably considers necessary for the purpose of being able to comply with this Clause 17.2.10. Other than as set out above, the Agent shall neither be liable to the Issuer or the Noteholders for damage due to any documents and information delivered to the Agent not being accurate, correct and complete, unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary, nor be liable for the content, validity, perfection or enforceability of such documents.
17.2.11Notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents to the contrary, the Agent is not obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any regulation.
17.2.12If in the Agent’s reasonable opinion the cost, loss or liability which it may incur (including reasonable fees to the Agent) in complying with instructions of the Noteholders, or taking any action at its own initiative, will not be covered by the Issuer, the Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with such instructions, or taking such action, until it has received such funding or indemnities (or adequate security has been provided therefore) as it may reasonably require.
17.2.13The Agent shall give a notice to the Noteholders:
(a)before it ceases to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents by reason of the non-payment by the Issuer of any fee or indemnity due to the Agent under the Finance Documents or the Agency Agreement; or
(b)if it refrains from acting for any reason described in Clause 17.2.12.


28(33)
17.3Liability for the Agent

17.3.2The Agent shall not be considered to have acted negligently if it has acted in accordance with advice from or opinions of reputable external experts provided to the Agent or if the Agent has acted with reasonable care in a situation when the Agent considers that it is detrimental to the interests of the Noteholders to delay the action in order to first obtain instructions from the Noteholders.
17.3.3The Agent shall not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required pursuant to the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent to the Noteholders, provided that the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for that purpose.
17.3.4The Agent shall have no liability to the Noteholders for damage caused by the Agent acting in accordance with instructions of the Noteholders given in accordance with Clause 14 (Decisions by Noteholders).
17.3.5Any liability towards the Issuer which is incurred by the Agent in acting under, or in relation to, the Finance Documents shall not be subject to set-off against the obligations of the Issuer to the Noteholders under the Finance Documents.
17.4Replacement of the Agent
17.4.1Subject to Clause 17.4.6, the Agent may resign by giving notice to the Issuer and the Noteholders, in which case the Noteholders shall appoint a successor Agent at a Noteholders’ Meeting convened by the retiring Agent or by way of Written Procedure initiated by the retiring Agent.
17.4.2Subject to Clause 17.4.6, if the Agent is insolvent or becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, the Agent shall be deemed to resign as Agent and the Issuer shall within ten (10) Business Days appoint a successor Agent which shall be an independent financial institution or other reputable company which regularly acts as agent under debt issuances.
17.4.3A Noteholder (or Noteholders) representing at least ten (10) per cent. of the Adjusted Total Nominal Amount may, by notice to the Issuer (such notice shall, if given by several Noteholders, be given by them jointly), require that a Noteholders’ Meeting is held for the purpose of dismissing the Agent and appointing a new Agent. The Issuer may, at a Noteholders’ Meeting convened by it or by way of Written Procedure initiated by it, propose to the Noteholders that the Agent be dismissed and a new Agent appointed.
17.4.4If the Noteholders have not appointed a successor Agent within ninety (90) days after:
(a)the earlier of the notice of resignation was given or the resignation otherwise took place; or


29(33)
(b)the Agent was dismissed through a decision by the Noteholders, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Agent which shall be an independent financial institution or other reputable company which regularly acts as agent under debt issuances.
17.4.5The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.
17.4.6The Agent’s resignation or dismissal shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent and acceptance by such successor Agent of such appointment and the execution of all necessary documentation to effectively substitute the retiring Agent.
17.4.7Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the Finance Documents and remain liable under the Finance Documents in respect of any action which it took or failed to take whilst acting as Agent. Its successor, the Issuer and each of the Noteholders shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves under the Finance Documents as they would have had if such successor had been the original Agent.
17.4.8In the event that there is a change of the Agent in accordance with this Clause 17.4, the Issuer shall execute such documents and take such actions as the new Agent may reasonably require for the purpose of vesting in such new Agent the rights, powers and obligation of the Agent and releasing the retiring Agent from its further obligations under the Finance Documents and the Agency Agreement. Unless the Issuer and the new Agent agree otherwise, the new Agent shall be entitled to the same fees and the same indemnities as the retiring Agent.
18.THE ISSUING AGENT
18.1The Issuer shall when necessary appoint an Issuing Agent to manage certain specified tasks under these Terms and Conditions and in accordance with the legislation, rules and regulations applicable to and/or issued by the CSD and relating to the Notes. The Issuing Agent shall be a commercial bank or securities institution approved by the CSD.
18.2The Issuer shall ensure that the Issuing Agent enters into agreements with the CSD, and comply with such agreement and the CSD Regulations applicable to the Issuing Agent, as may be necessary in order for the Issuing Agent to carry out its duties relating to the Notes.
18.3The Issuing Agent will not be liable to the Noteholders for damage or loss caused by any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

19.THE CSD
19.1The Issuer has appointed the CSD to manage certain tasks under these Terms and Conditions and in accordance with the CSD Regulations and the other regulations applicable to the Notes.
19.2The CSD may be dismissed by the Issuer, provided that the Issuer has effectively appointed a replacement CSD that accedes as CSD at the same time as the old CSD is dismissed and provided also that the replacement does not have a negative effect on any Noteholder. The


30(33)
replacing CSD must be authorised to professionally conduct clearing operations pursuant to the Central Securities Depository Regulation (Regulation EU) No. 909/2014 and be authorised as a central securities depository in accordance with the Financial Instruments Accounts Act.
20.NO DIRECT ACTIONS BY NOTEHOLDERS
20.1A Noteholder may not take any steps whatsoever against the Issuer to enforce or recover any amount due or owing to it pursuant to the Finance Documents, or to initiate, support or procure the winding-up, dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy (or its equivalent in any other jurisdiction) of the Issuer in relation to any of the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer under the Finance Documents. Such steps may only be taken by the Agent.
20.2Clause 20.1 shall not apply if the Agent has been instructed by the Noteholders in accordance with the Finance Documents to take certain actions but fails for any reason to take, or is unable to take (for any reason other than a failure by a Noteholder to provide documents in accordance with Clause 17.1.2), such actions within a reasonable period of time and such failure or inability is continuing. However, if the failure to take certain actions is caused by the non-payment of any fee or indemnity due to the Agent under the Finance Documents or the Agency Agreement or by any reason described in Clause 17.2.12, such failure must continue for at least forty (40) Business Days after notice pursuant to Clause 17.2.13 before a Noteholder may take any action referred to in Clause 20.1.
20.3The provisions of Clause 20.1 shall not in any way limit an individual Noteholder’s right to claim and enforce payments which are due by the Issuer to some but not all Noteholders.
20.4The provisions of this Clause 20 (No direct actions by the Noteholders) are subject to the over-riding limitations set out in 3.2 and 3.3.

The right to receive payment of interest (excluding any capitalised interest) shall be time-barred and become void three (3) years from the relevant due date for payment. The Issuer is entitled to any funds set aside for payments in respect of which the Noteholders’ right to receive payment has been time-barred and has become void.
21.2If a limitation period is duly interrupted in accordance with the Swedish Act on Limitations (preskriptionslag (1981:130)), a new limitation period of ten (10) years with respect to the right to receive repayment of the principal of the Notes, and of three (3) years with respect to receive payment of interest (excluding capitalised interest) will commence, in both cases calculated from the date of interruption of the limitation period, as such date is determined pursuant to the provisions of the Swedish Act on Limitations.
