2. AMOUNT OF THE BONDS, SUBORDINATION AND COVENANT TO PAY

2.1 Amount of the Bonds

The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds shall be equal to €2,029,200,000.

2.2 Denomination

The principal amount of each Bond is €100,000 (the “Authorised Denomination”).

2.3 Status

The Bonds constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer, ranking at all times pari passu without any preference among themselves. On the occurrence of a Winding Up Event, the rights and claims of the Holders in respect of or arising from the Bonds will rank:

(a) junior to all claims of all creditors (including all subordinated creditors) of the Issuer, including (but not limited to) claims against the Issuer in respect of its obligations which constitute Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital, but excluding Parity Obligations (“Senior Obligations”); and

(b) pari passu with the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and any other claims expressed to rank pari passu with the Bonds (“Parity Obligations”).

If a Winding Up Event occurs before the conversion of any Bonds into Ordinary Shares of the Issuer pursuant to clause 11 (Conversion), there shall be payable by the Issuer in respect of each Bond (in lieu of any other payment by the Issuer), after all Senior Obligations have been satisfied in full, such amount, if any, as would have been payable to the Holder thereof if, on the day (the “Commencement Date”) prior to the commencement of the Winding Up Event and thereafter, such Holder were the holder of a number of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer with an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Bond, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (which excludes any interest cancelled in accordance with clause 6 (Interest cancellation)) to (but excluding) the Commencement Date, having an equal right to a distribution or a return of assets in the Winding Up Event to, and so ranking pari passu with, the holders of Ordinary Shares provided that the amount that such Holder shall be entitled to receive in respect of such Bond, on a distribution or a return of assets in such Winding Up Event may not exceed an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Bond, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (which excludes any interest cancelled in accordance with clause 6 (Interest cancellation)) to (but excluding) the Commencement Date.

2.4 No set-off or security

Subject to applicable law, no Holder may exercise, claim or plead any right of set-off, compensation or retention or take, accept or receive the benefit of any security, guarantee or other assurance against loss from any entity in respect of any amount owed to it by the Issuer arising under, or in connection with, the Bonds which would have the effect of enhancing the claim of such Holder against the Issuer on a Winding Up Event and each Holder shall, by virtue of its holding of any Bonds, be deemed to have

waived all such rights of set-off, compensation or retention, security, guarantee or other assurance against loss.

2.5 Issuer’s covenant to pay

The Issuer covenants with the Holders that it will:

(a) on any date on which any principal amount in respect of the Bonds becomes due to be repaid unconditionally pay such principal amount or procure such principal amount to be paid on such date to the Holders in accordance with this Programme; and

(b) subject to the provisions of clause 6 (Interest cancellation) and clause 6.6 (Issuance of Ordinary Shares), until the entire principal amount of the Bonds (both before and after any judgment or other order of court of competent jurisdiction) has been repaid and/or converted in full as provided herein, unconditionally pay or procure to be paid to or to the order of the Holders on the dates provided for in and in accordance with this Programme, interest on the principal amount of the Bonds.

3. FORM OF THE BONDS, TITLE AND TRANSFERS

3.1 Form

The Bonds are issued in individual fully registered form and will be incorporated in a Certificate or Certificates on issue, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1. A Certificate will be issued to each Holder in respect of its registered holding. Only one Certificate will be issued to each Holder in respect of its entire registered holding of Bonds.

3.2 Execution

Each Certificate shall be stamped by the corporate seal of the Issuer and signed manually by a director or duly authorised officer of the Issuer and such signature shall evidence the binding and valid obligations of the Issuer.

3.3 Register

Each Bond and each Certificate will be numbered serially with an identifying number which will be kept recorded in the register (the “Register”) which the Issuer will maintain in accordance with clause 4 (Register and Replacement Certificates).

3.4 Title

The Holder of each Bond shall (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as the owner of such Bond for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, or any other interest therein, any writing on the Certificate relating thereto (other than the endorsed form of transfer) or any notice of any previous loss or theft of such Certificate) and no person shall be liable for so treating such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer a Bond may only be held by, or transferred or assigned to, an Eligible Holder.

3.5 Transfers

(a) Subject to clause 3.8 (Closed periods) below, a Bond may be transferred upon surrender of the relevant Certificate, with the endorsed form of transfer duly completed, to the Issuer, at its registered office, together with such evidence as the Issuer may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor and the authority of the individuals who have executed the form of transfer and registration of such transfer at the Register pursuant to clause 3.6; provided, however, that (a) any assignment or transfer of any interest in a Bond including, for the avoidance of doubt, a transfer by way of security or the enforcement of security, including a

forced transfer (other than a transfer of a Bond to a successor or successors of the HFSF, the Hellenic Republic or any other Governmental Entity of the Hellenic Republic where such assignment or transfer does not cause the Bonds at any time to be excluded from, or cease to count towards, the Issuer’s or the Group’s CET1 Capital), requires the prior consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld or delayed if any such proposed assignment or transfer would result in a Bond at any time being excluded from, or ceasing to count towards, the Issuer’s or the Group’s CET1 Capital and the Relevant Regulator (subject to, and as provided in, Article 7(5)(c) of the HFSF Law and Article 1(17) of the Cabinet Act) and (b) a Bond may not be transferred in part. Where not all the Bonds incorporated by the surrendered Certificate are the subject of the transfer, a new Certificate in respect of the balance of the Bonds will be issued to the transferor. Any transfer made in violation of this Clause or Clause 3.4 (Title) shall be null and void and shall not be binding on the Issuer.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, for so long as any Bonds are held by the HFSF or any successor entity, the Hellenic Republic or any other Governmental Entity of the Hellenic Republic, the HFSF (or any such entity) may, without the prior consent of the Issuer, grant security by way of a Greek-law governed pledge over the Bonds held by it (together with its rights under any Bond Documents) in favour of the European Stability Mechanism (the “ESM”), by signing the duly completed form of Schedule C to the relevant Certificate(s) incorporating its Bonds, to secure its obligations to the ESM (in respect of any moneys or securities advanced for the purposes of funding the payment of the subscription price for such Bonds by the HFSF) under the Master Financial Assistance Facility Agreement dated 15 March 2012 and made between, among others, the HFSF, the European Financial Stability Facility and the Greek government, as the same may be amended from time to time provided that the grant of such security including any enforcement thereof does not cause the Bonds at any time to be excluded from, or cease to count towards, the Issuer’s or the Group’s CET1 Capital.

3.6 Registration and delivery of Certificates

Within five business days of the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with clause 3.5 (Transfers) above, the Issuer will register the transfer in question and deliver a new Certificate incorporating the Bonds so transferred to each relevant Holder at the Issuer’s registered office.

3.7 No charge

The transfer of a Bond will be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer but against such indemnity as the Issuer may require in respect of any tax or other duty of whatsoever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such transfer.

3.8 Closed periods

Holders may not require transfers to be registered during the period of 15 days ending on any Interest Payment Date or the date fixed for redemption (if any), as the case may be.

4. REGISTER AND REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATES

4.1 Maintenance of Register

The Issuer shall maintain the Register at its registered office. The Register shall show the number of Bonds and Certificates issued, their date of issue, their certificate number and the number and principal amount of Bonds incorporated by each Certificate issued and shall identify the serial numbers of each Bond and each Certificate issued, and record the name and address of its registered Holder and all subsequent changes where replacement Certificates have been issued or where the original Certificate has been destroyed or mutilated and a replacement Certificate has been issued.

4.2 Inspection

The Issuer shall, at no cost to such persons, make the Register available to the Holders or any person authorised by it for inspection and for the taking of copies and the Issuer shall deliver to such persons details of their holding as they may request.

4.3 Replacement certificates

If any Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the registered office of the Issuer, subject to all applicable laws, upon payment by the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection with such replacement and on such terms as to evidence, security, indemnity and otherwise as the Issuer may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

4.4 Annotation

Any payment in respect of the Bonds shall be annotated by the Issuer in Schedule A of each Certificate, upon surrender of the Certificates in accordance with clause 0. The entries made in Schedule A to the Certificate in accordance with the aforementioned procedure shall, for all purposes (including litigation or arbitration), be prima facie evidence of such amounts, in the absence of manifest error.

5. INTEREST

5.1 Interest accrual

The Bonds bear interest at the applicable Rate of Interest from (and including) the Issue Date and the amount of such interest will (subject to clause 6 (Interest Cancellation), clause 0 (Payments) and clause 11 (Conversion)) be payable on each Interest Payment Date, in accordance with the provisions of this clause 5. Each Bond will cease to bear interest from the date fixed for redemption (if any) unless, upon due presentation, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused, in which case it will continue to bear interest in accordance with, and subject to, this Programme until the day on which such principal is received by or on behalf of the relevant Holder.

5.2 Rate of interest

(a) The rate of interest in respect of the period from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the seventh annual anniversary from the Issue Date will be 8.0 per cent. per annum (the “Initial Interest Rate”).

(b) The rate of interest in respect of each period from (and including) a Reset Date to (but excluding) the next following Reset Date shall be the aggregate of (i) the applicable Mid-Market Swap Rate on the relevant Reset Determination Date and (ii) the Margin (the “Subsequent Interest Rate”), expressed as a rate per annum.

5.3 Interest Payment Dates

Subject to clause 6 (Interest Cancellation), interest, if any, will be payable annually in arrear on the annual anniversary of the Issue Date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).

5.4 Calculation of interest amount

Subject to clause 6 (Interest Cancellation) and clause 0 (Payments), the amount of interest payable in respect of each Bond shall be calculated by applying the relevant Rate of Interest to the Authorised Denomination multiplying the product by the Day Count Fraction and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards).

5.5 Determination of Subsequent Interest Rate

Each Subsequent Interest Rate shall be determined by the Issuer on the relevant Reset Determination Date and notified to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) as soon as possible after the determination thereof.

5.6 Notifications etc.

All notifications, opinions, communications, determinations, certificates, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of this clause 5 by the Issuer will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Issuer and the Holders.

The Issuer shall not be responsible to the Holders or any third party for any failure of the Reference Banks to provide quotations as requested of them or as a result of the Issuer having acted on any quotation or other information given by any Reference Bank which subsequently may be found to be incorrect or inaccurate in any way.

6. INTEREST CANCELLATION

6.1 Interest payments discretionary

Interest on the Bonds is due and payable only at the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall have sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel (in whole or in part) any interest payment that would otherwise be payable on any Interest Payment Date notwithstanding that the Maximum Distributable Amount then applicable to the Issuer is greater than zero. If the Issuer does not make an interest payment on the relevant Interest Payment Date (or if the Issuer makes a payment of a portion, but not all, of such interest payment), such non-payment shall evidence the Issuer’s exercise of its discretion to cancel such interest payment (or the portion of such interest payment not paid), and accordingly such interest payment (or the portion thereof not paid) shall not be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be entitled to make any payments of interest in contravention of clause 6.2 (Mandatory interest cancellation).

If the Issuer provides notice of cancellation of a portion, but not all, of an interest payment and the Issuer subsequently does not make a payment of the remaining portion of such interest payment on the relevant Interest Payment Date, such non-payment shall evidence the Issuer’s exercise of its discretion to cancel such remaining portion of the interest payment and accordingly such remaining portion of the interest payment shall also not be due and payable.

6.2 Mandatory interest cancellation

(a) Subject to the extent permitted in paragraph (b) below, the Issuer shall not make an interest payment on the Bonds on any Interest Payment Date (and such interest payment shall therefore be cancelled and thus shall not be due and payable on such Interest Payment Date) if and to the extent that such payment would cause, when aggregated together with other distributions of the kind referred to in Article 141(2) of the Capital Requirements Directive, the Maximum Distributable Amount (if any) then applicable to the Issuer to be exceeded.

(b) The Issuer may, in its sole discretion, make a partial interest payment on the Bonds on any Interest Payment Date, but only to the extent that such partial interest payment may be made without breaching the restriction set out in paragraph (a) above.

6.3 Agreement to interest cancellation

By subscribing for, purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Bonds, Holders acknowledge and agree that:

(a) interest is payable solely at the discretion of the Issuer, and no amount of interest shall become due and payable in respect of the relevant Interest Period to the extent that it has been

cancelled (in whole or in part) by the Issuer at its sole discretion or as a result of the Issuer having insufficient Maximum Distributable Amounts; and

(b) any cancellation of interest (in whole or in part) in accordance with this Programme shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise under the terms of the Bonds.

6.4 Effect of interest cancellation

Interest will only be due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent it is not cancelled in accordance with clause 6.1 (Interest payments discretionary) or clause 6.2 (Mandatory interest cancellation). Any interest which is cancelled (in whole or in part) shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and Holders shall have no rights thereto or to receive any additional interest or compensation as a result of such cancellation and their claim for such interest shall be permanently and irrevocably erased.

6.5 Notice of interest cancellation

The Issuer shall provide notice of any cancellation of interest (in whole or in part) to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) as soon as possible. If practicable, the Issuer shall endeavour to provide such notice at least five business days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date. Failure to provide such notice will not have any impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such cancellation of interest, or give Holders any rights as a result of such failure.

6.6 Issuance of Ordinary Shares

(a) Any interest scheduled to be paid on an Interest Payment Date may, at the sole discretion of the Issuer, be discharged (in whole or in part) through the issuance to the Holder of new Ordinary Shares in lieu of any payment in cash by the Issuer. The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this clause 6.6 shall be determined by dividing the relevant amount of interest scheduled to be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date by:

(i) the Current Market Price of the Ordinary Shares on the date notice is given as provided in clause 6.6(b) of the Issuer’s election pursuant to this clause 6.6 (Issuance of Ordinary Shares); or

(ii) if the Ordinary Shares have ceased to be admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange on the date on which the relevant notice is given, by the higher of the CET1 Capital per Ordinary Share of the Issuer or the nominal amount of an Ordinary Share on the relevant Interest Payment Date,

in each case, rounded down to the nearest whole number (such Ordinary Shares, the “Interest Shares”).

(b) The Issuer shall provide notice of any election pursuant to this clause 6.6 to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) as soon as possible and in any event at least five business days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date. Failure to provide such notice will not have any impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such election, or give Holders any rights as a result of such failure.

(c) The Issuer shall issue the relevant Interest Shares to the Holders on the relevant Interest Payment Date in lieu of the cash interest scheduled to be paid on such Interest Payment Date, and shall deliver the Interest Shares to the Holders in accordance with clause 6.6(d) and clause 11.5 (Settlement procedure). The issue of the Interest Shares shall fully satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Issuer to pay the relevant interest amount.

(d) If the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange on the relevant Interest Payment Date, the Issuer shall as soon as practicable take appropriate actions to list

the issued Interest Shares and deliver them provided that the relevant details to enable delivery of Interest Shares to the relevant person entitled thereto have been notified to the Issuer. If the Ordinary Shares are not admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange at such date, the Issuer shall deliver the Ordinary Shares on the relevant Interest Payment Date in physical form (certificates).

6.7 Restrictions on dividends

If, on any Interest Payment Date, any payment of interest scheduled to be made on such date is not made in full, the Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly:

(a) recommend to holders of its Ordinary Shares, that any dividend or other distribution in cash be paid or made on any Ordinary Shares; and

(b) pay any dividend or make any other distribution in cash on its Ordinary Shares,

in each case unless and until (x) the scheduled interest payment on the Bonds on any subsequent Interest Payment Date has been paid in full or, if earlier, (y) all outstanding Bonds have been cancelled in accordance with this Programme.

7. REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE

7.1 No fixed redemption date

The Bonds are perpetual securities in respect of which there is no fixed redemption date and the Issuer shall (subject to the provisions of clause 2.3 (Status) and clause 13 (Enforcement Events and Remedies)) only have the right to redeem or repurchase the Bonds in accordance with the following provisions of this clause 7.

7.2 Issuer’s call option

Subject to clause 7.3 (Conditions to redemption), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Bonds in cash, in whole or in part, at any time, at 100 per cent. of their principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest (which excludes any interest cancelled in accordance with clause 6 (Interest cancellation)) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption. If there is to be a partial redemption of Bonds, the Bonds held by all Holders shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis (or as close as possible to a pro rata basis, taking into account the Authorised Denomination of each Bond, and rounded down to the nearest whole €100,000). In relation to the Bonds held by any Holder, the Bonds incorporated by Certificate(s) with the highest serial numbers shall be redeemed first.

7.3 Conditions to redemption

(a) Regulator consent: Notwithstanding any other provision, the Issuer may redeem the Bonds only if the Relevant Regulator has granted permission to, or has waived the relevant requirements in the Capital Regulations for, the Issuer to redeem the relevant Bonds (in each case to the extent, and in the manner, required by the Capital Regulations).

(b) Compliance with conditions: Any redemption of Bonds by the Issuer is subject to compliance by the Issuer with any alternative or additional pre-conditions to redemption, set out in the Capital Regulations in effect at the relevant time (or waiver of such pre-conditions by the Relevant Regulator).

(c) Notice of redemption: Any redemption of the Bonds shall be subject to the Issuer providing not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) (such notice being irrevocable except in the limited circumstances set out in paragraph 7.3(d) (Trigger Event)) specifying the Issuer’s election to redeem the Bonds and the date fixed for such redemption and, in the case of a partial redemption, the serial numbers

of the Bonds called for redemption. The Issuer shall not be entitled to deliver a notice of redemption after an Automatic Conversion Notice or a Conversion Notice has been delivered.

(d) Trigger Event: If the Issuer has elected to redeem the Bonds but prior to the payment of the redemption amount with respect to such redemption a Trigger Event occurs, the relevant notice of redemption shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, no payment of the redemption amount will be due and payable and an Automatic Conversion shall occur in accordance with clause 11.1 (Automatic Conversion upon Trigger Event). The Issuer shall deliver an Automatic Conversion Notice in accordance with clause 11.2 (Automatic Conversion procedure).

7.4 Purchase

7.5 Cancellation

All Bonds redeemed by the Issuer pursuant to this clause 7 shall be cancelled and may not be reissued or resold. All Bonds purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer or any member of the Group may be held, resold and/or, at the option of the Issuer or any such member of the Group, surrendered for cancellation. Any Bonds so surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold.

The rules under CRD IV prescribe certain conditions for the granting of permission by the Relevant Regulator to a request by the Issuer to redeem or repurchase the Bonds. In this respect, the CRD IV Regulation provides that the competent authority (the Relevant Regulator in the case of the Issuer) shall grant permission to a redemption or repurchase of the Bonds provided that either of the following conditions is met, as applicable to the Bonds:

(a) on or before such redemption or repurchase of the Bonds, the Issuer replaces the Bonds with own funds instruments of an equal or higher quality on terms that are sustainable for its income capacity; or

(b) the Issuer has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Relevant Regulator that its own funds would, following such redemption or repurchase, exceed the capital ratios required under CRD IV by a margin that the Relevant Regulator may consider necessary on the basis set out in CRD IV for it to determine the appropriate level of capital of an institution.

The rules under CRD IV may be modified from time to time after the date of issuance of the Bonds.

8. COVENANTS

So long as any Bonds remain outstanding, and subject as provided in any of the Bond Documents:

(a) Consents

The Issuer shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect and comply with all consents and filings required from time to time under any applicable law or regulation:

The Issuer shall ensure that its obligations under the Bonds and the Bond Documents have the ranking specified in clause 2.3 (Status).

The Issuer shall comply with and perform all its obligations under the Bond Documents and pay all amounts payable by it under the Bond Documents as and when they become due, subject to the terms of this Programme.

(d) Further assurance

The Issuer shall at all times execute and do all such further documents, acts and things as may be necessary at any time or times in the opinion of the Holder (acting reasonably) to give effect to the Bond Documents.

(e) Applicable laws

The Issuer shall ensure that the issue of the Bonds and any other transaction to be effected under the Bond Documents by the Issuer shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations of any governmental or other regulatory authority having competence over the Issuer and that all necessary consents and approvals of, and registrations or filings with, any such authority in connection therewith are obtained and maintained in full force and effect and copies thereof are as soon as reasonably practicable provided to the Holder upon request.

(f) Conversion Shares

Where the number of Conversion Shares to be issued would, following an Automatic Conversion or an Optional Conversion, result in the aggregate nominal value of such Conversion Shares to be issued being higher than the principal amount of the Bonds to be converted, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly following the occurrence of a Trigger Event or the delivery of a Conversion Notice, or earlier at its election and in its sole discretion, either:

(i) capitalise its reserves in favour of the Holders; or

(ii) effect (A) an increase of the nominal value of its Ordinary Shares and the simultaneous reduction of the total number of Ordinary Shares (a reverse split) in a ratio necessary to permit the action set forth in clause (B) below, followed by (B) a reduction of the share capital of the Issuer through the decrease of the nominal value of each Ordinary Share to a value that will result in the aggregate nominal value of the Conversion Shares to be issued being no less than the principal amount of the Bonds to be converted, and the formation or increase of a non-distributable reserve, without altering the total number of Ordinary Shares,

in each case, in order to enable the Conversion Shares to be issued as fully paid.

9. PAYMENTS

9.1 Principal

Payments of principal in respect of the Bonds shall be made by euro cheque drawn on, or, upon application by a Holder to the Issuer not later than the fifteenth day before the due date for any such payment, by transfer to a euro account maintained by the payee with, a bank in a city in which banks have access to the TARGET System and (in the case of redemption) upon surrender (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Certificates at the registered office of the Issuer.

9.2 Interest

Payments of interest in respect of the Bonds shall be made by euro cheque drawn on, or, upon application by a Holder to the Issuer not later than the fifteenth day before the due date for any such payment, by transfer to a euro account maintained by the payee with, a bank in a city in which banks have access to the TARGET System and (in the case of interest payable on redemption) upon surrender (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Certificates at the registered office of the Issuer.

9.3 Payments subject to fiscal laws

All payments in respect of the Bonds are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations in the place of payment, or other laws and regulations to which the Issuer agrees to be subject and, save as provided in clause 10 (Taxation), the Issuer will not be liable for any taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by such laws, regulations or agreements. No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the Holders in respect of such payments.

9.4 Payments on Payment Business Days

Subject to clauses 6 (Interest Cancellation), 7 (Redemption and Purchase) and 11 (Conversion), where payment in respect of the Bonds is to be made by transfer to a euro account, payment instructions (for value the relevant Interest Payment Date or the date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a Payment Business Day, for value the next succeeding Payment Business Day (but no interest will accrue during the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the date fixed for redemption, as the case may be)) will be initiated and, where payment in respect of the Bonds is to be made by euro cheque, the cheque will be mailed (i) (in the case of payments of principal and interest payable on redemption) on the later of the date fixed for redemption and the day on which the relevant Certificate is surrendered (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsed) at the registered office of the Issuer and (ii) (in the case of payments of interest payable other than on redemption) on the relevant Interest Payment Date. A Holder shall not be entitled to any interest or other payment in respect of any delay in payment resulting from (A) the date fixed for redemption or the relevant Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, not being a Payment Business Day or (B) a cheque mailed in accordance with this clause 0 arriving after the due date for payment or being lost in the mail.

9.5 Partial payments

If the Issuer makes a partial payment in respect of any Bond, the Issuer shall procure that the amount and date of such payment are noted on the Register and, in the case of partial payment upon presentation of a Certificate, that a statement indicating the amount and the date of such payment is endorsed on the relevant Certificate. All such partial payments shall be made on a pro rata basis in respect of all outstanding Bonds (subject, in the case of any partial redemption of the Bonds, to the provisions of clause 7.2 (Issuer’s call option) relating to pro rata redemption).

9.6 Record date

Each payment in respect of a Bond will be made to the person shown as the Holder in the Register at the opening of business in the place of the registered office of the Issuer on the fifteenth day before the relevant Interest Payment Date or the date fixed for redemption (if any), as the case may be (the “Record Date”). Where payment in respect of a Bond is to be made by cheque, the cheque will be mailed to the address shown as the address of the Holder in the Register at the opening of business on the relevant Record Date.

10. TAXATION

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Bonds by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present

or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by, or on behalf of, the Hellenic Republic or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein that has the power to tax (each, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. In that event, but subject to the restrictions referred to below, the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by the Holders of such amounts after such withholding or deduction as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required. However, no such Additional Amounts shall be payable by the Issuer in respect of any Bond in the following cases:

(a) If the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Bonds is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engages in business or maintains a permanent establishment or is physically present in a Taxing Jurisdiction requiring that deduction or withholding, or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the Bond, or the collection of any payment of, or in respect of, the principal of, or any interest on, any Bonds;

(b) If the Holder or the beneficial owner of the relevant Bonds or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on Bonds failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or other requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the taxing jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such claim or compliance is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such taxes;

(c) If such withholding or deduction is required to be made pursuant to the European Union Directive on the taxation of savings income, adopted on 3 June 2003, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

(d) If the withholding or deduction would not have been imposed or would have been excluded under one of the preceding points if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, the Bonds had been the Holder.

The restrictions on interest payment in clause 6.2 (Mandatory interest cancellation) shall apply to any Additional Amounts mutatis mutandis.

In this Programme, any reference to principal or interest shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts in respect of principal or interest (as the case may be) which are, were or would be payable under this clause 10.

For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts to be paid by the Issuer on the Bonds will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and the Issuer will not be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax.

11. CONVERSION

11.1 Automatic Conversion upon Trigger Event

(a) Automatic Conversion: If a Trigger Event occurs, then an Automatic Conversion will occur on the Conversion Date at which point all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Bonds shall be irrevocably and automatically released in consideration of the Issuer’s issuance of the Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date at the Conversion Price. Under no circumstances

shall such released obligations be reinstated. If the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange on the Conversion Date, the Issuer shall as soon as practicable take appropriate actions to list the Conversion Shares and deliver them provided that the relevant details to enable delivery of Conversion Shares to the relevant person entitled thereto have been notified to the Issuer. If the Ordinary Shares are not admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange at such date, the Issuer shall deliver the Conversion Shares in physical form (certificates).

A “Trigger Event” shall occur if (i) the Issuer determines at any time that the CET1 Ratio of the Issuer (on a standalone basis) or the Group (on a consolidated basis) is less than 7.00 per cent or (ii) for any reason whatsoever, the Issuer does not pay all or any part of two interest payments scheduled to be paid on two Interest Payment Dates (which need not be consecutive) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest payments to the extent satisfied through the operation of clause 6.6 (Issuance of Ordinary Shares).

(b) Automatic Conversion Notice: Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Issuer shall immediately inform the Relevant Regulator (in the case of a Trigger Event falling within sub-paragraph (i) of the definition of “Trigger Event” only) and shall deliver the Automatic Conversion Notice to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) and clause 11.2 (Automatic Conversion procedure). On or (if reasonably practicable) prior to giving the Automatic Conversion Notice, the Issuer shall deliver to the Holders a certificate stating that the Trigger Event has occurred and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

(c) Effect of Automatic Conversion: Following an Automatic Conversion, no Holder will have any rights against the Issuer with respect to the repayment of the principal amount of the Bonds or the payment of interest or any other amount on or in respect of the Bonds, which liabilities of the Issuer shall be irrevocably and automatically released and, accordingly, the principal amount of the Bonds shall equal zero at all times thereafter. Any interest in respect of an interest period ending on any Interest Payment Date falling between the date of a Trigger Event and the Conversion Date shall be deemed to have been cancelled upon the occurrence of such Trigger Event and shall not be due and payable.

Following the issuance of the Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date, the Bonds shall remain in existence for the sole purpose of evidencing the Holder’s right to receive Conversion Shares.

(d) Agreement and waiver by the Holders: Notwithstanding any other provision herein, by its subscription, purchase or other acquisition of the Bonds, each Holder shall (i) agree to all the terms of this Programme and the Bonds, including, without limitation, those related to the occurrence of a Trigger Event and any related Automatic Conversion, (ii) agree that effective upon, and following, an Automatic Conversion, no amount shall be due and payable to the Holders under the Bonds and the liability of the Issuer to pay any such amounts (including the principal amount of, or any interest in respect of, the Bonds) shall be automatically released, and the Holders shall not have the right to give a direction to the Issuer with respect to the Trigger Event and any related Automatic Conversion and (iii) waive any claims related to or arising out of or in connection with a Trigger Event and/or any Automatic Conversion, other than the right to receive Conversion Shares on the relevant Conversion Date.

11.2 Automatic Conversion procedure

If a Trigger Event has occurred, the Issuer shall deliver an Automatic Conversion Notice to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) as soon as practicable after such time but not later than 5 calendar days following such time, and shall announce the occurrence of a Trigger Event pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Relevant Stock Exchange.

Notwithstanding clause 14 (Notices), the Automatic Conversion Notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date on which it is dispatched to the Holders.

11.3 Conversion at the option of the Holders

Each Holder of a Bond shall have the option (the “Bondholder Option”) to convert all or some of the Bonds owned by it by the issuance of the relevant Conversion Shares on the seventh annual anniversary from the Issue Date (the “Bondholder Optional Conversion Date”) at the Conversion Price.

The Bondholder Option may be exercised by the Holder delivering its relevant Bonds, on any business day falling within the period of thirty (30) days ending on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) business day prior to the Bondholder Optional Conversion Date, accompanied by a duly signed and completed notice of exercise in or substantially in the form (for the time being current) attached as Schedule 2 (Form of Conversion Notice) (a “Conversion Notice”).

A Conversion Notice once given shall be irrevocable. The Issuer shall convert the relevant Bonds in respect of which the Bondholder Option has been validly exercised on the Bondholder Optional Conversion Date by issuing and delivering the relevant Conversion Shares. If the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange on the Bondholder Optional Conversion Date, the Issuer shall as soon as practicable take appropriate actions to list the relevant Conversion Shares and deliver them provided that the relevant details to enable delivery of Conversion Shares to the relevant person entitled thereto have been notified to the Issuer. If the Ordinary Shares are not admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange at such date, the Issuer shall deliver the Conversion Shares in physical form (certificates).

11.4 The Conversion Shares

(a) The number of Conversion Shares to be issued:

(i) on the Conversion Date on the occurrence of a Trigger Event pursuant to clause 11.1 (Automatic Conversion upon Trigger Event) shall be determined by dividing 116 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion Date by the Conversion Price, rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Conversion Shares; and

(ii) on the Bondholder Optional Conversion Date as a result of the exercise of the Bondholder Option by a Holder pursuant to clause 11.3 (Conversion at the option of the Holders) shall be the aggregate of the number of Conversion Shares to which the relevant Holder is entitled, as determined pursuant to clause 11.4(b)(ii) below.

Fractions of Conversion Shares will not be issued following an Automatic Conversion or an Optional Conversion and no cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.

(b) The number of Conversion Shares to be issued for each Holder shall be:

(i) in the case of Automatic Conversion, the number of Conversion Shares calculated pursuant to clause 11.4(a)(i), multiplied by the aggregate amount of the principal amount of the Bonds held by such Holder on the Conversion Date over the aggregate amount of the principal amount of the Bonds outstanding, rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Conversion Shares; and

(ii) in the case of Optional Conversion, the number of Conversion Shares calculated by dividing 116 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds which are the subject of a Conversion Notice submitted by such Holder to the Issuer in accordance with clause 11.3 (Conversion at the option of the Holders) by the

Conversion Price rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Conversion Shares.

(c) The Conversion Shares issued following an Automatic Conversion or an Optional Conversion will be fully paid and non-assessable and will in all respects rank pari passu with the Issuer’s fully paid Ordinary Shares in issue on the Conversion Date, except in any such case for any right mandated by mandatory provisions of applicable law, and except that the Conversion Shares so issued will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant Holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement to which falls prior to the Conversion Date.

(d) If a Qualifying Takeover Event shall have occurred, then, where the Conversion Date or the Bondholder Optional Conversion Date falls on or after the QTE Effective Date, Approved Entity Shares of the Approved Entity shall be issued to the relevant Holder on the Conversion Date or Bondholder Optional Conversion Date, as the case may be, instead of Conversion Shares, in accordance with clause 0 (Qualifying Takeover Event).

(e) The Conversion Shares will be delivered to Holders pursuant to the procedures set forth in clause 11.5 (Settlement procedure) below.

11.5 Settlement procedure

Delivery of the Interest Shares or Conversion Shares to the Holders will be made in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Interest Shares and Conversion Shares in uncertificated form: if the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange, the Interest Shares or the Conversion Shares, as the case may be, will be delivered to Holders in book-entry form (through the HCSD if the Relevant Stock Exchange is the Athens Exchange) to the account specified by the relevant Holder in the relevant Conversion Shares Settlement Notice, Conversion Notice or Interest Shares Settlement Notice (as applicable). If the Ordinary Shares are not admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange, the Interest Shares or the Conversion Shares, as the case may be, will be delivered in physical form to the relevant Holder.

(b) Interest Shares or Conversion Shares Settlement Notice: in order to obtain delivery of the relevant Interest Shares or (in the case of Automatic Conversion Only) Conversion Shares, a Holder must deliver its Interest Shares Settlement Notice or Conversion Shares Settlement Notice, as the case may be, to the Issuer. If such delivery is made after the end of normal business hours at the registered office of the Issuer such delivery shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made or given on the next following business day.

Each Interest Shares Settlement Notice or Conversion Shares Settlement Notice shall be irrevocable. Failure to properly complete and deliver an Interest Shares Settlement Notice or Conversion Shares Settlement Notice (together with, in the case of a Conversion Shares Settlement Notice, the relevant Bonds, if applicable), may result in such notice being treated by the Issuer as null and void. Any determination as to whether any Interest Shares Settlement Notice or Conversion Shares Settlement Notice has been properly completed and delivered shall be made by the Issuer in its sole and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and binding on the relevant Holder.

(c) No liability for delay: The Issuer shall have no liability to any Holder for any loss resulting from such Holder not receiving any Interest Shares or Conversion Shares or from any delay in the receipt thereof, in each case as a result of such holder failing to duly submit an Interest Shares Settlement Notice or Conversion Shares Settlement Notice (and, in the case of the Conversion Shares Settlement Notice, the relevant Bonds, if applicable), on a timely basis or at all.

12. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE

12.1 Adjustments to the Conversion Price

Upon the occurrence of any of the events set out below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) Alteration to nominal value: If and whenever there shall be a consolidation, reclassification or subdivision in relation to the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, reclassification or subdivision by the following fraction:

where:

A is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such consolidation, reclassification or subdivision, as the case may be; and

B is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after, and as a result of, such consolidation, reclassification or subdivision, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date the consolidation, reclassification or subdivision, as the case may be, takes effect.

(b) Bonus issue: If and whenever the Issuer shall issue any Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid to the Issuer’s shareholders as a class by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) other than (1) where any such Ordinary Shares are or are to be issued instead of the whole or part of a Cash Dividend which the Issuer’s shareholders would or could otherwise have elected to receive, (2) where the Issuer’s shareholders may elect to receive a Cash Dividend in lieu of such Ordinary Shares or (3) where any such Ordinary Shares are or are expressed to be issued in lieu of a dividend (whether or not a Cash Dividend equivalent or amount is announced or would otherwise be payable to the Issuer’s shareholders, whether at their election or otherwise), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue by the following fraction:

where:

A is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such issue; and

B is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after such issue.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Ordinary Shares.

(c) Rights issues: If and whenever the Issuer shall issue any Ordinary Shares to all or substantially all of the Issuer’s shareholders as a class or the Issuer or (at the direction or request or pursuant to arrangements with the Issuer) any other company, person or entity issues or grants to all or substantially all of the Issuer’s shareholders as a class by way of rights, any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares, or any securities which by their terms of issue carry (directly or indirectly) rights of conversion into, or exchange or

subscription for, any Ordinary Shares (or grants any such rights in respect of existing securities so issued), in each case by way of rights at a price per Ordinary Share which is less than 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Ordinary Share on the Effective Date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

where:

A is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue on the Effective Date;

B is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights, or for the securities issued by way of rights, or for the options or warrants or other rights issued by way of rights and for the total number of Ordinary Shares deliverable on the exercise thereof, would purchase at such Current Market Price per Ordinary Share on the Effective Date; and

C is the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued or, as the case may be, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights calculated as at the date of issue of such options, warrants or rights or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of rights of subscription or purchase in respect thereof at the initial conversion, exchange, subscription or purchase price or rate; provided that if, on the Effective Date, such number of Ordinary Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time, then “C” will be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at the Effective Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition had taken place on the Effective Date.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, for the purposes of this clause 12.1(c), the first date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-rights on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

For the purpose of any calculation of the consideration receivable or price pursuant to this clause 12.1(c), the following provisions shall apply:

(i) the aggregate consideration receivable or price for Ordinary Shares issued for cash shall be the amount of such cash;

(ii) (x) the aggregate consideration receivable or price for Ordinary Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon the conversion or exchange of any securities will be deemed to be the consideration or price received or receivable for any such securities and (y) the aggregate consideration receivable or price for Ordinary Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon the exercise of rights of subscription attached to any securities or upon the exercise of any options, warrants or rights will be deemed to be that part (which may be the whole) of the consideration or price received or receivable for such securities or, as the case may be, for such options, warrants or rights which are attributed by the Issuer to such rights of subscription or, as the case may be, such options, warrants or rights or, if no part of such consideration or price is so attributed, the Fair Market Value of such rights of subscription or, as the case may be, such options, warrants or rights as at the relevant Effective Date, plus in the case of each of (x) and (y), the additional minimum

consideration receivable or price (if any) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities, or upon the exercise of such rights or subscription attached thereto or, as the case may be, upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights and (z) the consideration receivable or price per Ordinary Share upon the conversion or exchange of, or upon the exercise of such rights of subscription attached to, such securities or, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights will be the aggregate consideration or price referred to in (x) or (y) (as the case may be) divided by the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon such conversion or exchange or exercise at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate;

(iii) if the consideration or price determined pursuant to (i) or (ii) above (or any component thereof) shall be expressed in a currency other than the Relevant Currency, it shall be converted into the Relevant Currency at the Prevailing Rate on the relevant Effective Date (in the case of (i) above) or the relevant date of first public announcement (in the case of (ii) above);

(iv) in determining the consideration or price pursuant to the above, no deduction shall be made for any commissions or fees (howsoever described) or any expenses paid or incurred for any underwriting, placing or management of the issue of the relevant Ordinary Shares or otherwise in connection therewith; and

(v) the consideration or price shall be determined as provided in paragraphs (i) to (iv) above on the basis of the consideration or price received, receivable, paid or payable, regardless of whether all or part thereof is received, receivable, paid or payable by or to the Issuer or another entity.

(d) (A) Extraordinary Dividend: If and whenever the Issuer shall pay any Extraordinary Dividend to its shareholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

A – B
A – C

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Ordinary Share on the Effective Date;

B is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Extraordinary Dividend attributable to one Ordinary Share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Extraordinary Dividend by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the relevant Extraordinary Dividend; and

C. is an amount equal to:

(A) in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend falling under clause (i) of the definition of Extraordinary Dividend, zero; or,

(B) in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend falling under clause (ii) of the definition of Extraordinary Dividend, the amount (if any) by which the Reference Amount in respect of the Relevant Year exceeds an amount equal to the aggregate of the Fair Market Values of any previous Cash Dividends (other than any Cash Dividends falling under clause (i) of the definition of Extraordinary Dividend) per Ordinary Share of the Issuer paid or made in respect

of such Relevant Year (where C shall equal zero if such previous Cash Dividends per Ordinary Share of the Issuer are equal to, or exceed, the Reference Amount in respect of the Relevant Year). For the avoidance of doubt, “C” shall equal the Reference Amount determined in respect of the Relevant Year where no previous Cash Dividends (other than any Cash Dividends falling under clause (i) of the definition of Extraordinary Dividend) per Ordinary Share of the Issuer have been paid or made in respect of such Relevant Year.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Extraordinary Dividend can be determined.

“Effective Date” means, for purposes of this clause 12.1(d)(A), the first date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-the relevant Cash Dividend on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

(B) If and whenever the Issuer shall pay or make any Non-Cash Dividend to its shareholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

where:

A is the Current Market Price of one Ordinary Share on the Effective Date; and

B is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Non-Cash Dividend attributable to one Ordinary Share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Non-Cash Dividend by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the relevant Non-Cash Dividend (or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy-back of Ordinary Shares or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Ordinary Shares by or on behalf of the Issuer or any member of the Group, by the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following such purchase, redemption or buy-back, and treating as not being in issue any Ordinary Shares, or any Ordinary Shares represented by depositary or other receipts or certificates purchased, redeemed or bought back).

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Non-Cash Dividend can be determined as provided herein.

“Effective Date” means, for purposes of this clause 12.1(d)(B), the first date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-the relevant Dividend on the Relevant Stock Exchange or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Ordinary Shares or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Ordinary Shares by or on behalf of the Issuer or any member of the Group, the date on which such purchase, redemption or buy back is made (or, in any such case if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Dividend is capable of being determined as provided herein) or in the case of a Spin-Off, the first date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-the relevant Spin-Off on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

(C) For the purposes of this clause 12.1(d), Fair Market Value shall (subject as provided in paragraph (a) of the definition of “Dividend” and in the definition of “Fair Market Value”) be determined as at the Effective Date.

(D) In making any calculations for the purposes of this clause 12.1(d), such adjustments (if any) shall be made as an Independent Financial Adviser may determine in good faith to be appropriate to reflect (i) any consolidation or sub-division of any Ordinary Shares or (ii) the issue of Ordinary Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (or any like or similar event) or (iii) any increase in the number of Ordinary Shares in issue in the Relevant Year in question.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions:

(I) where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment pursuant to this clause have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of any other events or circumstances that have already given or will give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where more than one event that gives rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that, in the opinion of the Issuer, a modification to the operation of the adjustment provisions is required to give the intended result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the adjustment provisions as may be determined in good faith by an Independent Financial Adviser to be in its opinion appropriate to give the intended result;

(II) such modification shall be made to the operation of this Programme as may be determined in good faith by an Independent Financial Adviser to be in its opinion appropriate to ensure that an adjustment to the Conversion Price or the economic effect thereof shall not be taken into account more than once;

(III) for the avoidance of doubt, the issue of Ordinary Shares following an Automatic Conversion or Optional Conversion, or in lieu of any payment of cash interest pursuant to clause 6.6 (Issuance of Ordinary Shares) or upon any conversion or exchange or the exercise of any other options, warrants or other rights shall not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price; and

(IV) in respect of any adjustment pursuant to paragraphs 12.1(a) to 12.1(c) above, such adjustment shall be made only up to the extent it does not result in a Conversion Price that, if applied to the number of relevant Bonds at the time of such adjustment, would result in a number of Conversion Shares that constitutes a greater proportion of Conversion Shares as a percentage of the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue had the adjustment not been made nor had the corporate event occurred.

12.2 No retroactive adjustments

The Issuer shall not issue any additional Conversion Shares if the Automatic Conversion or Optional Conversion occurs after the record date in respect of any consolidation, reclassification or subdivision as is mentioned in paragraph (a) of clause 12.1 (Adjustments to the Conversion Price), or after the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for any such issue, distribution, grant or offer (as the case may be) as is mentioned in paragraphs (b), (c) or 12.1(d) of clause 12.1 (Adjustments to the Conversion Price), but before the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price becomes effective under such section.

12.3 Decision of an Independent Financial Adviser

If any doubt shall arise as to whether an adjustment falls to be made to the Conversion Price or as to the appropriate adjustment to such Conversion Price, and following consultation between the Issuer and an Independent Financial Adviser, a written opinion of such Independent Financial Adviser in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer and the Holders, save in the case of manifest error.

12.4 Rounding down and notice of adjustment to the Conversion Price

On any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this clause 12 if the resultant Conversion Price is a number with more decimal places than the initial Conversion Price, that number shall be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the initial Conversion Price. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than 1.0 per cent. of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and/or any amount by which the Conversion Price has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made.

Notice of any adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be given by the Issuer to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) promptly after the determination thereof.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause 12, if any event occurs after the Issue Date which requires an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to clause 12.1 (Adjustments to the Conversion Price), which would result in the Conversion Price being reduced to below the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly following the occurrence of a Trigger Event or the delivery of a Conversion Notice, or earlier at its election and in its sole discretion, either:

(a) capitalise its reserves in favour of the Holders ; or

(b) effect (A) an increase of the nominal value of its Ordinary Shares and the simultaneous reduction of the total number of Ordinary Shares (a reverse split) in a ratio necessary to permit the action set forth in clause (B) below, followed by (B) a reduction of the share capital of the Issuer through the decrease of the nominal value of each Ordinary Share to a value that will result in the aggregate nominal value of the Conversion Shares to be issued being no less than the principal amount of the Bonds to be converted, and the formation or increase of a non-distributable reserve, without altering the total number of Ordinary Shares,

in each case, in order to enable the Conversion Shares to be issued as fully paid.

12.5 Qualifying Takeover Event

Within 10 business days following the occurrence of a Takeover Event, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Holders by means of a Takeover Event Notice.

If the Takeover Event is a Qualifying Takeover Event, the Bonds shall, where the Conversion Date or Optional Bondholder Conversion Date falls on or after the QTE Effective Date, be converted into or exchanged for Approved Entity Shares of the Approved Entity, mutatis mutandis as provided in clause 11 (Conversion) above, at a Conversion Price that shall initially be the New Conversion Price, which may be higher or lower than the Conversion Price and references herein to “Conversion Shares” shall be deemed to be references to “Approved Entity Shares”.

The New Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment in the circumstances provided for in clause 12 (Adjustments to the Conversion Price) above (if necessary with such modifications and amendments as an Independent Financial Adviser acting in good faith shall determine to be appropriate

and references to “Ordinary Shares” shall be read as references to “Approved Entity Shares”), and the Issuer shall give notice to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices) of the New Conversion Price and of any such modifications and amendments thereafter.

In the case of a Qualifying Takeover Event:

(a) the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulation, on or prior to the QTE Effective Date, enter into such agreements and arrangements (which may include a supplemental bond issuance programme and amendments and modifications to this Programme) as may be required to ensure that, with effect from the QTE Effective Date, the Bonds shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, Approved Entity Shares, mutatis mutandis in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions in clause 11 (Conversion) (as may be so supplemented, amended or modified), at the New Conversion Price and any references to the Conversion Price shall be construed as references to the New Conversion Price;

(b) upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event where the Conversion Date or Bondholder Optional Conversion Date falls on or after the QTE Effective Date, the Issuer shall procure (to the extent within its control) the issue of the relevant number of Approved Entity Shares mutatis mutandis in the manner provided in clause 11 (Conversion), as may be amended or modified as provided above; and

(c) the Issuer’s discretion to issue Interest Shares pursuant to clause 6.6 (Issuance of Ordinary Shares), shall, with effect from the QTE Effective Date, become the discretion to deliver Approved Entity Shares at the Current Market Price of such Approved Entity Shares mutatis mutandis, and the references to a “Relevant Stock Exchange” in that provision shall be construed as a reference to the relevant “Recognised Stock Exchange”.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Takeover Event is not a Qualifying Takeover Event (including if that is because the Acquirer is a Governmental Entity), there is no provision for any automatic adjustment to this Programme, whether in the manner provided for above in respect of Qualifying Takeover Events, or at all.

13. ENFORCEMENT EVENTS AND REMEDIES

13.1 Winding up

If a Winding Up Event occurs before the occurrence of a Trigger Event or Optional Conversion on the Bondholder Optional Conversion Date, and without prejudice to clause 2.3 (Status), the Holders of the Bonds may claim against the Issuer in such Winding Up Event for the full principal amount of the Bonds together with any accrued but unpaid interest (which excludes any interest cancelled in accordance with clause 6 (Interest cancellation)), which shall become immediately due and payable on the occurrence of a Winding Up Event.

13.2 No other remedies

No remedy against the Issuer shall be available to the Holders whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the Bonds or under this Programme in relation thereto or in respect of any breach by the Issuer of any of its other obligations under or in respect of such Bonds or under this Programme in relation thereto other than as specified in this clause 13.

14. NOTICES

Notices to the Holders will be sent to them by courier at their respective addresses on the Register. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on date of delivery by such courier, provided such date is a business day.

15. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER; SUBSTITUTION

15.1 Modification and waiver

Subject as provided in clause 15.2 (Regulator notice or consent) below, the Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders, make any modification to this Programme and the Bonds if such modification is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is to correct a manifest error.

Any such modification shall be binding on all the Holders and shall be notified to the Holders as soon as practicable thereafter.

15.2 Regulator notice or consent

This Programme and the Bonds shall only be capable of modification or waiver and the Bonds may only be substituted in accordance with clause 15.3 (Substitution or modification), if the Issuer has notified the Relevant Regulator of such modification, waiver or substitution or obtained the prior consent of the Relevant Regulator, as the case may be, (where such notice or consent is required by the Capital Regulations).

15.3 Substitution or modification

Subject as provided in clause 15.2 (Regulator notice or consent) and having given no less than 30 nor more than 45 calendar days’ notice to the Holders in accordance with clause 14 (Notices), if a Regulatory Event or a Tax Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Bonds, the Issuer may substitute all (but not some only) of the Bonds or vary the terms of this Programme in respect of all (but not some only) of the Bonds, without any requirement for the consent or approval of the Holders, so that the Bonds become or remain Qualifying Securities.

Any such substitution or modification shall be binding on all the Holders and shall be notified to the Holders as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with clause 14 (Notices), which notice shall specify the relevant details of the manner in which such substitution or modification shall take effect and where the Holders can inspect or obtain copies of the new terms of this Programme.

In the case of a substitution or modification in accordance with this clause 15.3, as a result of a Tax Event, the Issuer shall deliver to the Holders, together with the prior notice referred to above, a certificate of the Issuer following receipt of an opinion of an established firm of independent legal advisers or accountants of international repute to the effect either that such a circumstance does exist or that, upon the occurrence of a Tax Law Change, which at the date of such certificate is proposed to be made and in the opinion of such firm and the Issuer (based on such opinion) is reasonably expected to become effective on or prior to the date when the relevant payment in respect of the Bonds would otherwise be made, becoming so effective, such circumstances would exist. Such certificate shall be treated by the Issuer, the Holders and all other interested parties as correct, conclusive and sufficient evidence thereof.

15.4 Appointment of agents

The Issuer may, from time to time without the consent of the Holders appoint certain agents to perform the functions expressed to be performed by the Issuer hereunder.

16. SEVERABILITY

If any term or other provision of this Programme is or becomes invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced pursuant to any law, public policy or valid and applicable action or order by a competent authority, all other terms of this Programme shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Within thirty (30) days of such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Issuer shall attempt through good faith negotiations with the Holder to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with a valid, legal and enforceable provision so as to effect

the original economic and legal intent of the Issuer and the Holder as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

17. GOVERNING LAW

17.1 Governing law

This Programme and the Bonds and any non-contractual rights arising out of or in connection therewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Greek law, including the HFSF Legislation, the Bond Law and the Companies Law.

17.2 Arbitration

All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Programme and the Bonds and any non-contractual rights arising out of or in connection therewith shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with such Rules (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). The place of arbitration shall be Athens, Greece. The language of the arbitration shall be English. However, evidence and/or documents in Greek shall be admissible as evidence in the arbitration with no need to be translated into English.
