The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or such other amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any Series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such Series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Securities of each such Series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of each such Series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of each such Series, or of all the Securities, in each case voting as a single class, then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to each such Series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders and Beneficial Owners of Bail-inable Securities of any Series shall not be entitled to exercise, or direct the exercise of, the rights in this Section 5.01 where the Governor in Council (Canada) has made an order pursuant to subsection 39.13(1) of the CDIC Act in respect of the Issuer.

Notwithstanding the exercise of any of the rights provided for in this Section 5.01, Bail-inable Securities with respect to which such rights have been exercised shall continue to be subject to Bail-in Conversion until repaid in full.

For purposes of this Article V only, and except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 2.03 as to all or any particular Securities, with respect to Securities issued hereunder, the term “Series” shall be deemed to refer to Securities with identical terms, except as to issue date, principal amount and, if applicable, the date from which interest begins to accrue.
