"Junior Obligation" means:
(a) all classes of the Issuer's share capital (including without limitation any ordinary shares and any preference shares of the Issuer);
(b) any Tier 1 Capital Instruments; and
(c) any instrument or other obligations issued, entered into, or guaranteed by the Issuer that ranks or is expressed to rank junior to the Notes by operation of law or contract.
"Non-Viability Event" means the earlier of:
(a) the Monetary Authority notifying the Issuer in writing that the Monetary Authority is of the opinion that a Write-off or conversion is necessary, without which the Issuer would become non-viable; and
(b) the Monetary Authority notifying the Issuer in writing that a decision has been made by the government body, a government officer or other relevant regulatory body with the authority to make such a decision, that a public-sector injection of capital or equivalent support is necessary, without which the Issuer would become non-viable.

Notwithstanding any other term of the Notes, including without limitation the Conditions, or any other agreement or arrangement, each holder of the Notes and the Trustee shall be subject, and shall be deemed to agree, be bound by and acknowledge that they are each subject, to having the Notes held by each being written off, cancelled, converted or modified, or to having its form changed, in the exercise of any Hong Kong Resolution Authority Power by the relevant Hong Kong Resolution Authority without prior notice and which may include (without limitation) and result in any of the following or some combination thereof:
(a) the reduction or cancellation of all or a part of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Notes;
(b) the conversion of all or a part of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Issuer or another person (and the issue to or conferral on the holder of such shares, securities or obligations), including by means of an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the Notes; and
(c) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Notes or amendment or alteration of the amount of interest payable on the Notes, or the date on which the interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period, or any other amendment or alteration of the Conditions.
