If, at any time during the period in which the Bank is required to deliver an electronic copy of the Final Prospectus Supplement as provided in this Section 4, any event known to the Bank shall occur as a result of which the Final Prospectus Supplement as then amended or supplemented would contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they are made when the Final Prospectus Supplement (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) is delivered to a purchaser, or it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Final Prospectus Supplement to comply with law or

with the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Bank, at its expense, will forthwith prepare and furnish to you for distribution to the Underwriters and dealers an electronic copy of an amendment or amendments or a supplement or supplements to the Final Prospectus Supplement which will so amend or supplement the Final Prospectus Supplement that as amended or supplemented it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Final Prospectus Supplement not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they are made when it is delivered to a purchaser, and will comply with law and with such rules and regulations.

5. Free Writing Prospectuses.

(c) Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including the Final Term Sheet), and such other “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act the use of which has been consented to as required pursuant to this Section 5, is listed on Schedules III.A. and III.B. hereto, respectively.

7. Qualification and Listing. The Bank will use its commercially reasonable efforts, when and as requested by you, to qualify the Securities or such portion thereof as you may request for offer and sale under the securities laws of any jurisdictions which you shall reasonably designate; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be obligated to take any action in connection with such qualification that would subject it to taxation or to service of process generally or require it to qualify as a dealer in securities or to do business in any jurisdiction where the Bank would not otherwise be so subject or required to qualify. The Bank will make application for and use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure and maintain the listing of the Securities on the securities exchange or exchanges named in Schedule I and, if required, their registration under the Exchange Act.

8. Statement of Profit and Loss. The Bank agrees (a) to make generally available to its security holders a statement, in the English language, of profit and loss of the Bank for the twelve-month period beginning at the end of the fiscal year which ends after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act) as soon as practicable after the date thereof which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and (b) to advise you or announce that such statement has been so made available.

10. Further Information. While any of the Securities are outstanding, the Bank will make available to you copies of all reports and financial statements furnished to any national securities exchange in the United States pursuant to requirements of, or agreements with, any such exchange and furnished to the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

11. Indemnities.

(a) By the Bank. The Bank agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which it may become subject under the Act or any other statute or common law or otherwise, and to reimburse such Underwriter for any legal or other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereto, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus Supplement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or (in the case of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (in the case of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act) necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11(a) shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arising out of, or based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or in writing to the Bank by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter is that furnished in accordance with Section 15 below.

(b) By the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally but not jointly and in respect of its own statements agrees, in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 11(a), to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank, all the Governors and Directors of the Bank, its duly authorized representative in the United States and the officials of the Bank who shall have signed the Registration Statement with respect to any statement in or omission from the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or otherwise furnished in writing to the Bank by or on behalf of such Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Final Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter is that furnished in accordance with Section 15 below.

(c) General. Each indemnified party will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from an indemnifying party on account of an indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any indemnified party so to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11. Except as provided below, in case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 11 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Such indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) such indemnified party shall have legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party) or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of such action and employed counsel therefor satisfactory to such indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of such action, in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 11(a) or 11(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Bank bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to such offering, in either case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus Supplement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Bank or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Bank and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 11(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 11(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 11(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 11(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations as set forth in Schedule II and not joint.

(e) Survival. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Bank and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Bank, and shall survive the delivery of the Securities, and any successor of any Underwriter or of the Bank, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefit of the respective indemnity and contribution agreements.

12. Conditions to Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are subject to the accuracy of and compliance with the representations and warranties of the Bank contained in Section 1 as of the date hereof and the Closing Date (and the Bank shall be deemed expressly to have represented and warranted as of the Closing Date that the representations and warranties contained in Section 1 are true and correct and that it has complied with such representations and warranties), and to the following further conditions:

(g) Listing. The Bank shall have taken commercially reasonable steps to obtain the listing of the Securities on the securities exchange or exchanges named in Schedule I within one business day of the Closing Date.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 12 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by you on behalf of the other Underwriters.

by such exchange or by the Commission or by any other United States Federal or State agency or by any action of the United States Congress or by executive order to such a degree as, in your reasonable judgment as the Representatives, to affect materially and adversely the marketing of the Securities or (b) existing financial, political or economic conditions in Europe, the United States or elsewhere shall have undergone any change which, in your reasonable judgment as the Representatives, would materially and adversely affect the market for the Securities, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by you, as the Representatives, without liability on the part of any Underwriter to the Bank or of the Bank to any Underwriter, subject to Section 11(e). Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Bank in writing, or by cable or telephone and confirmed in writing.

14. Substitution of Underwriters. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse on the Closing Date to purchase and pay for the respective Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder and if the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall become obligated severally to purchase and pay for (in addition to the principal amounts of the Securities to be delivered to them on the Closing Date) the aggregate respective principal amounts of such Securities which all such defaulting Underwriters had agreed to purchase. Such principal amount of such Securities shall be purchased by such non-defaulting Underwriters in the respective proportions which the aggregate principal amount of Securities set opposite the name of each non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities so set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters. If the principal amount of such Securities which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 20% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, either you, as the Representatives, or the Bank shall have the right within 48 hours thereafter to procure one or more of the other Underwriters or any other purchasers acceptable to both you and the Bank to purchase from the Bank, in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth, all the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters so agreed to purchase; provided, however, that in making such arrangements to purchase all such Securities, either you or the Bank, as the case may be, may request the non-defaulting Underwriters and the non-defaulting Underwriters shall thereupon become obligated severally to purchase and pay for (in addition to the other Securities which they are obligated to purchase hereunder or pursuant to the arrangements made hereunder) principal amounts of Securities not in excess of 20% of the respective aggregate principal amounts of Securities set opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule II and in the respective proportions which such amounts in Schedule II bear to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities so set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters. If during such 48 hours neither you, as the Representatives, nor the Bank shall have made such arrangements for the purchase of the Securities agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or of the Bank. In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters as set forth in this Section 14, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven calendar days, as you, as the Representatives, and the Bank shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and in the Final Prospectus Supplement or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this Section 14 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

[It is expected that delivery of the securities will be made for value on or about [•], which will be the [fifth] business day in the United States following the date of pricing of the securities. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, purchases or sales of securities in the secondary market generally are required to settle within two (2) business days (T+2), unless the parties to any such transaction expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers of the securities who wish to trade the securities on the date hereof or the next [two (2)] succeeding business days, will be required, because the securities initially will settle within [five (5)] business days [(T+5)] in the United States, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the securities who wish to trade on the date hereof or the next [two (2)] succeeding business days should consult their own legal advisers.]

[MIFID II product governance / Retail investors, professional investors and ECPs target market—Solely for the purposes of each EU manufacturer’s product approval process, the Underwriters’ target market assessment in respect of the securities has led them to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the securities is eligible counterparties, professional clients, and retail clients, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”) and (ii) all channels for distribution of the securities are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the securities (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the EU manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the securities (by either adopting or refining the EU manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the securities (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the UK manufacturer’s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the securities (by either adopting or refining the UK manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

AIIB does not qualify as an “investment firm”, “manufacturer” or “distributor” for the purposes of UK MiFIR.]
