to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the successor to such Agent or Calculation Agent as agent of the Issuer and the Guarantor LP hereunder and in relation to the Covered Bonds without any further formality, whereupon the remaining parties hereto and such successor agent or registrar shall thereafter have the same rights and obligations among them as would have been the case had they then entered into an agreement in the form mutatis mutandis of this Agreement and after the said effective date the Agent or Calculation Agent shall be relieved of and fully discharged from all obligations hereunder and in respect of any Covered Bonds whether such obligations arose before or after such transfer and assumption and all references in this agreement to such Agent or Calculation Agent shall be deemed to be references to such successor. Notice of any such merger, conversion or consolidation shall forthwith be given by such successor to the Issuer and the Guarantor LP and the other parties hereto and in accordance with Condition 16.\n16.08 If any Agent or Calculation Agent decides to change its specified office (which may only be effected within the same metropolitan area) it shall give notice to the Issuer, the Guarantor LP and the Bond Trustee (with a copy, if necessary, to the Issuing and Paying Agent) of the address of the new specified office stating the date on which such change is to take effect, which date shall be not less than thirty days after the date of such notice. The relevant Agent or Calculation Agent shall at its own expense not less than fourteen days prior to the date on which such change is to take effect (unless the appointment of the relevant Agent or Calculation Agent is to terminate pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 16 on or prior to the date of such change) publish or cause to be published notice thereof in accordance with the Conditions.\n16.09 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it will be required to withhold or deduct any FATCA Withholding in connection with the next scheduled payment and such FATCA Withholding would not have arisen but for a Paying Agent or a Registrar not being or having ceased to be a person to whom payments are free from FATCA Withholding, the Issuer will be entitled to terminate such Paying Agent or Registrar without notice and such termination will be effective from any such time specified in writing to such Paying Agent or Registrar. Notice of such termination will be provided to holders of the Covered Bonds and the Issuer will use its best efforts to appoint a new Paying Agent or Registrar forthwith and in any event prior to the next scheduled payment date for any Covered Bonds if there would not then be a Paying Agent or Registrar as required by the relevant Terms and Conditions.", "size": 27, "samples": [{"hash":

least 45 days' notice in writing from the Issuer specifying the date when the removal shall become effective.\n23.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 23.4, if at any time an Agent: (a) fails to comply with its obligations hereunder, (b) fails to become by any applicable due date (or, on or after such due date, cease to be) a person to whom payments may be made free from FATCA Withholding, (c) becomes incapable of acting, (d) is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, (e) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or consents to the

under this Agreement before termination in accordance with the terms of Clause 18.\n23.7 Upon its appointment becoming effective, a successor or new Agent shall, without any further action, become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor or, as the case may be, an Agent with the same effect as if originally named as an Agent under this Agreement.\n23.8 If the appointment of an Agent under this Agreement is terminated (whether by the Issuer or by the resignation of the relevant Agent), then such Agent shall, on the date on which the

have been made available to the Paying Agents (whichever is the later):\n(A) so long as any Notes are listed, quoted and/or traded on any Stock Exchange, there will at all times be such paying, issuing, listing and other agents having a specified office in each location required by the rules and regulations of the relevant Stock Exchange; and\n(B) with respect to Bearer Notes, (1) there will at all times be a Paying Agent, a London Issuing Agent and a Transfer Agent with a specified office in a city in Europe unless, in respect of any Paying Agent, payments are permitted to be made in the United States and the Bank shall have appointed a Paying Agent in the United States; and (2) in the event that any European Directive on the taxation of savings, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive is introduced, the Bank will use all reasonable efforts to ensure, to the extent practicable, that it will maintain a paying agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax from payment in respect of the Notes pursuant to any such Directive or law supplementing or complying with such Directive. Any variation, termination, appointment or change shall only take effect (other than in the case of insolvency, when it shall be of immediate effect) after not less than 30 nor more than 45 days\u2019 prior notice thereof shall have been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Section 18 hereof.\n(b) Subject to Section 27(d), the Bank may terminate the appointment of any Agent at any time and/or appoint one or more further relevant Agents by giving to the relevant Agent at least 45 days\u2019 notice in writing to that effect.\n(c) Subject to Section 27(d), all or any of the Paying Agents or the European Transfer Agent may resign their respective appointments hereunder at any time by giving the Bank at least 90 days\u2019 written notice to that effect.\n(d) Any termination under Section 27(b) or resignation under Section 27(c) shall only take effect upon the appointment by the Bank as hereinafter provided of a successor Agent and (other than in cases of insolvency of such Agent) on the expiration of the notice to be given under Section 29 hereof. The Bank agrees with each Agent that if, by the day falling 10 days before the expiration of any notice under Section 27(c), the Bank has not appointed a replacement agent, then the relevant Agent shall be entitled, on behalf of the Bank, to appoint in its place any reputable financial institution of good standing as it may reasonably determine to be capable of performing the duties of such Agent hereunder, and the Bank shall not unreasonably object to such appointment. If the relevant Agent is unable to appoint a replacement agent, the relevant Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a replacement agent.\n(e) In case at any time any Agent resigns, or is removed, or becomes incapable of acting, or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or files a voluntary petition for corporate reorganization under any applicable United States federal or state or any foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or consents to the appointment of an administrator, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of all or substantially all of its property, or admits in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a receiver, custodian or other similar official of it or of all or substantially all of its property is appointed, or if an order of any court is entered for relief against it under the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if any public officer takes charge or control of any such Agent or of its property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, or liquidation, such Agent promptly shall notify the Bank and the other Agents in writing of the occurrence of such event, and a successor Agent may be appointed by the Bank by an instrument in writing filed with the successor Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment and (other than in the case of insolvency of the Agent) upon expiration of the notice to be given under Section 29 hereof, the Agent so superseded shall cease to be an Agent hereunder.\n(f) Prior to its resignation or removal becoming effective, the relevant Agent:\n(A) shall, in the case of a Paying Agent, forthwith transfer all monies held by it hereunder, and shall transfer the records referred to in Sections 11(a), 19(e) and 20(g) hereof, as applicable, to the successor Paying Agent or other Agent hereunder; and\n(B) shall be entitled to the payment by the Bank of its commissions and fees for the services theretofore rendered hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 22 hereof.\n(g) Upon its appointment becoming effective, any new Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Registrar or European Transfer Agent shall, without further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as a Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Registrar or European Transfer Agent, respectively, hereunder.\n(h) The Bank may from time to time, in respect of the Program or in respect of any Series of Notes, appoint one or more additional paying agents by giving to the Agents at least three days\u2019 notice to that effect. Upon its written acceptance of such appointment, each such additional paying agent shall have the powers and authority granted to and conferred upon it herein, and such further powers and authority, acceptable to it, to act on behalf of the Bank as the Bank may grant to or confer upon it in writing.", "size": 4, "samples": [{"hash": "k425EtSzWcl", "uri":
