FORM OF FISCAL AGENCY AGREEMENT

Exhibit 4

FISCAL AGENCY AGREEMENT dated as of the date specified in Schedule I hereto, between the HELLENIC REPUBLIC (the “Republic”) and the national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Fiscal Agent”).

1. The Debt Securities. The Republic is issuing and selling, pursuant to a Terms Agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) described in Schedule I hereto, which incorporates by reference an Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Republic’s registration statement (No. 333-[•]) under Schedule B of the Securities Act of 1933, the debt securities described in Schedule I hereto (the “Debt Securities”). The Debt Securities will be issued in fully registered form in the denominations specified in Schedule I hereto and integral multiples thereof. The forms of Debt Securities are attached hereto as Exhibit I.

The Debt Securities may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or endorsements not referred to herein placed thereon as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with the rules of any securities exchange or governmental agency or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by any authorized signatory of the Republic specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Republic Authorized Signatory”), such determination being conclusively evidenced by such person’s execution of the Debt Securities.

The Debt Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Republic manually or by the facsimile signature of the Republic Authorized Signatory and shall bear the facsimile of the written, printed or stamped name of the Republic thereon imprinted. Debt Securities bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the Republic Authorized Signatory shall bind the Republic, notwithstanding that such individual shall have ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities, except that the Fiscal Agent may complete, countersign, issue and deliver any Debt Security executed by such Republic Authorized Signatory only until otherwise instructed in writing by a Republic Authorized Signatory.

Interest will be payable semiannually, as specified in the Debt Securities, on each “Interest Payment Date”, as defined in the Debt Securities, to holders of record on each “Record Date”, as defined in the Debt Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, or as specified in the provisions of the Debt Securities, any payment of principal or interest or additional amounts, if any, falling due on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below) for the Fiscal Agent will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for such intervening period.

Interest will be paid by check mailed to each holder of record on the relevant Record Date at the address of such person as shown on the Debt Security register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a DTC Registered Global Debt Security (as defined herein), payments shall be made to DTC as is customary in arrangements between the Fiscal Agent and DTC. Any holder of Debt Securities, the aggregate principal amount of which equals or exceeds $1,000,000, may, by written notice, in form satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent, delivered to the Fiscal Agent no later than the Record Date therefor, elect to receive the interest payment in respect of such Debt Securities by wire transfer in same-day funds to a bank account maintained by such holder in the United States. Principal of a Debt Security will be paid to the registered holder at maturity upon presentation of such Debt Security at the principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of New York.

“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

2. Appointment as Agent. The Republic hereby appoints the Fiscal Agent as its Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Debt Securities to perform such duties as are hereinafter set forth. So long as the Debt Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and in the event that the Debt Securities are issued in definitive form, or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange otherwise so requires, the Republic shall appoint and maintain an additional paying agent and transfer agent in Luxembourg. The Republic shall promptly notify the holders of the Debt Securities of such appointment in accordance with Section 12 hereof.

3. Duties as Paying Agent. The Republic hereby authorizes and directs the Fiscal Agent, and the Fiscal Agent hereby agrees, to make payments on behalf of the Republic in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York, U.S.A., in accordance with the Republic’s written instructions and, in the event that an additional Paying Agent has been appointed and is maintained by the Republic in Luxembourg, the Republic shall cause such Paying Agent to make payment in Luxembourg, of principal of and interest and additional amounts, if any, on the Debt Securities in the manner provided in the Debt Securities. The Republic shall deposit with the Fiscal Agent at its principal office in The City of New York on the payment date by 10:00 a.m. New York time in Federal funds (same-day funds), sums sufficient for such payments of principal of and interest and additional amounts, if any, on the Debt Securities. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any interest on any such moneys held by it under this Agreement.

In the event that any holder of Debt Securities shall deliver to the Republic written notice of a default, as provided in the Debt Securities, the Republic shall, by facsimile relay such notice to the Fiscal Agent. Such notice shall be confirmed in writing

by the Republic, as promptly as possible, to the Fiscal Agent. In the event that any holder of Debt Securities shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent, attention of the Corporate Trust & Loan Agency as set forth in Schedule I hereto, a notice of a default, the Fiscal Agent shall, by facsimile relay such notice to the Republic as promptly as possible. Such notice shall be confirmed in writing by the Fiscal Agent, as promptly as possible, to the Republic.

The Fiscal Agent shall also perform any other duties of the Paying Agent specified in the Debt Securities, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I.

The Debt Securities shall not be amended to change or increase the duties of the Fiscal Agent as Paying Agent without its prior written consent.

Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the holders of the Debt Securities (with a copy to the Fiscal Agent) given as provided in Section 12 hereof, the Republic shall have the right to require the holder of a Debt Security, as a condition of making full payment of the principal of or interest or additional amounts, if any, on such Debt Security, to present at the office of any paying agency at least five Business Days prior to each Record Date a certificate in such form as the Republic may from time to time prescribe in order to comply with applicable law or regulation, to enable the Republic to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to (i) any taxes, assessments or governmental charges which the Republic or the Fiscal Agent may be required to deduct or withhold from payment in respect of such Debt Security under any present or future law of the United States or the Republic or any regulation of any taxing authority thereof and (ii) any reporting or other requirements under such laws or regulations. The Republic shall be entitled to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to such deduction, withholding, reporting or other requirements on the basis of information contained in such certificate or, if no certificate shall be presented, on the basis of any presumption created by any such law or regulation and shall be entitled to act in accordance with such determination, but shall not be entitled to withhold all or part of any such payment except as the Republic determines in good faith to be required by applicable law or regulation.

4. Duties as Registrar and Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent, as Transfer Agent and Registrar, shall keep at its office in The City of New York, State of New York, U.S.A. a register of the names and addresses of the holders of Debt Securities and particulars of the Debt Securities held by them and in which transfers of Debt Securities shall be registered. No service charge shall be made for any registration, registration of transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, but the Fiscal Agent, the Transfer Agent and any other transfer agent appointed and maintained by the Republic in Luxembourg may require from holders of Debt Securities payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or governmental charge in connection therewith.

The Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver on original issuance the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities to or upon the order of the Republic Authorized Signatory, registered in the names and in the denominations as requested by the representatives of the underwriters, on behalf of the underwriters named in the Terms Agreement (the “Underwriters”), and no Debt Security shall be a valid obligation of the Republic until authenticated by the Fiscal Agent. The Debt Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication by the Fiscal Agent. Thereafter, the Fiscal Agent is authorized from time to time to authenticate and deliver Debt Securities upon transfers or exchanges thereof or in exchange for mutilated Debt Securities or in lieu of destroyed, stolen or lost Debt Securities, all as more fully described in the Debt Securities.

The Fiscal Agent shall also perform any other duties of the Transfer Agent and Registrar specified in the Debt Securities.

Any transfer agent appointed and maintained by the Republic in Luxembourg shall provide to the Fiscal Agent such information as it may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such transfer agent of Debt Securities issued upon transfer or in exchange of or in replacement for other Debt Securities.

The Debt Securities shall not be amended to change or increase the duties of the Fiscal Agent in any of its capacities without prior written consent of the Fiscal Agent.

5. DTC Book-Entry Provisions. Interest in a registered global Debt Security deposited with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee (any such security, a “DTC Registered Global Debt Security”) will be transferable in accordance with the rules and procedures established for that purpose by DTC. Members of, or participants in, DTC shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any DTC Registered Global Debt Security, and DTC or its nominee may be treated by the Republic, any agent hereunder, and any agent of the Republic as the absolute owner of such DTC Registered Global Debt Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Republic, any agent hereunder or any agent of the Republic from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder.

If at any time DTC notifies the Republic that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the DTC Registered Global Debt Security, or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a time when it is required to be so registered, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Republic within 90 days after the Republic receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, or if the Republic in its sole

discretion determines that the Debt Securities should no longer be represented by the DTC Registered Global Debt Security, as the case may be, or an Event of Default as defined in the Debt Securities has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Debt Securities, DTC shall deliver the DTC Registered Global Debt Security to the Fiscal Agent for registration of transfer into definitive Debt Securities in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as DTC, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Fiscal Agent, and the Republic shall promptly execute, and the Fiscal Agent, upon receipt of an order by the Republic for the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities in definitive form, shall promptly authenticate, separate Debt Securities in definitive form in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the DTC Registered Global Debt Security and registered in the names and authorized denominations specified by DTC in exchange for the DTC Registered Global Debt Security. The Fiscal Agent shall make such Debt Securities available for delivery to the entities or persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered.

THE CONDITIONS WITHIN REFERRED TO

1. This security is a permanent global certificate representing one of a duly authorized issue of % Notes Due , of the Republic (each a “Security”, and collectively, the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $ and issued under the Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of , (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) between the Republic and , as Fiscal Agent, to which Fiscal Agency Agreement reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, duties, limitations of rights, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Republic, the Fiscal Agent and the holders of the Securities. The Securities of this issue are issuable as fully registered Securities without coupons in the denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in lawful money of the United States of America.

The Republic may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of any Securities of this series, create and issue additional Securities having terms and conditions the same as the Securities of this series (or the same except for the payment of interest scheduled on them and paid prior to the time of their issue), so that such additional Securities may be consolidated, form a single series with and increase the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series. In the event of any such increase, the term “Securities” shall from then on also refer to such additionally issued Securities.

2. The principal of and interest on this Security shall be payable without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, fees or other charges, of whatever nature, imposed or levied by the Republic or by any county, municipality or other political subdivision or taxing authority therein or thereof (“Taxes”). If any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required by law, the Republic will pay such amounts to the registered holder hereof who is not a resident of the Republic as may be necessary so that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Security paid to such registered holder after making all such deductions and withholdings shall equal the amount provided for in this Security to be then due and payable, except that there will be no additional amounts paid with respect to this Security:

(a) by or on behalf of a holder who is subject to such Tax in respect of the Security by reason of his being connected with the Republic (or any political subdivision thereof) otherwise than merely by holding the Security or receiving principal or interest in respect thereof; or

(b) by or on behalf of a holder who would not be liable for or subject to such withholding or deduction by making a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority if, after having been requested to make such a declaration or claim, such holder fails to do so; or

(c) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder of the Security would have been entitled to such additional payment on presenting the Security for payment on the last day of such 30 day period; or

(d) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to or for an individual and is required to be made pursuant to the European Union Directive on the Taxation of Savings Income.

The “Relevant Date” in relation to the Security means (i) the due date for payment thereof; or (ii) (if the full amount of the monies payable on such date has not been received by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date) the date on which, the full amount of such monies having been so received, notice to that effect is duly given to the holders of Securities.

Any reference in these Conditions to principal or interest in respect of the Securities shall be deemed to include, as applicable, any additional amounts which may be payable by reason of a deduction or withholding of any amount from payments of principal or interest.

3. Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the holder of this Security given as provided in Section 12 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Republic shall have the right to require the holder of this Security, as a condition of making full payment of the principal of or interest or additional amounts, if any, on such Security, to present at the office of any paying agency at least five business days prior to each Record Date a certificate in such form as the Republic may from time to time prescribe in order to comply with applicable law or regulation, to enable the Republic to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to (i) any taxes, assessments or governmental charges which the Republic or the Fiscal Agent may be required to deduct or withhold from payment in respect of such Security under any present or future law of the United States or the Republic or any regulation of any taxing authority thereof and (ii) any reporting or other requirements under such laws or regulations. The Republic shall be entitled to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to such deduction, withholding, reporting or other requirements on the basis of information contained in such certificate or, if no certificate shall be presented, on the basis of any presumption created by any such law or regulation and shall be entitled to act in accordance with such determination, but shall not be entitled to withhold all or part of any such payment except as the Republic determines in good faith to be required by applicable law or regulation.

4. The Republic shall not create or permit to subsist any Security Interest upon any of its present or future revenues, properties or assets to secure any Public External Indebtedness of any person present or future, unless the Securities shall also be secured by such Security Interest equally and ratably with such Public External Indebtedness.

As used herein, “Security Interest” means any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance securing any obligation of the Republic or any other type of preferential arrangement having similar effect over any revenues, properties or assets of the Republic. “Public External Indebtedness” means existing or future indebtedness for borrowed money of the Republic that is in the form of, or represented by, bonds, notes or other securities that are or may be quoted, listed or ordinarily purchased or sold on any stock exchange, automated trading system or over-the-counter or other securities market and is (i) expressed or payable or optionally payable in a currency other than the lawful currency of the Republic (including any guarantees given by the Republic for any existing or future indebtedness for borrowed money of any other person which indebtedness is expressed or payable or optionally payable in a currency other than the lawful currency of the Republic), or (ii) borrowed from or initially placed with a foreign institution or person under a contract governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Republic (including any guarantees given by the Republic for any existing or future indebtedness for borrowed money of any other person which is borrowed from or initially placed with a foreign institution or person under a contract governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Republic).

5. In the event that any of the following shall occur (an “Event of Default):

(a) The Republic shall default in any payment of interest on any of the Securities and such default shall not be cured by payment thereof within 30 days from the due date for such payment;

(b) the Republic shall default in the payment of principal of the Securities when due at maturity and such default is not cured by payment thereof within seven days from the due date for such payment;

(c) the Republic shall default in the performance of any other covenant, condition or provision in the Securities and such default shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Republic and to the Fiscal Agent, attention of the Corporate Trust & Loan Agency, in The City of New York by the holder of any Security;

(d) any other Public External Indebtedness (as defined in Condition 4 above) of the Republic in an amount equal to or exceeding US$25 million (or its equivalent) is accelerated so that it becomes due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof as a result of a default thereunder, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled;

(e) any other Public External Indebtedness of the Republic in an amount equal to or exceeding US$25 million (or its equivalent) is not paid as and when due and the applicable grace period, if any, has lapsed and such nonpayment has not been cured;

(f) a general moratorium is declared by the Republic in respect of its Public External Indebtedness or the Republic announces its inability to pay its Public External Indebtedness as it matures; or

(g) any government order, decree or enactment shall be made whereby the Republic is prevented from observing and performing in full its obligations contained in the Securities;

then the holders for the time being of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may (i) give notice in writing to the Republic and the Fiscal Agent in accordance with Condition 10 that the Securities are immediately due and payable at their principal amount together with accrued interest (if any) or (ii) decide at a meeting that the Securities are immediately due and payable, whereupon the Securities shall become immediately due and payable at their principal amount together with accrued interest (if any) and/or (iii) decide at a meeting that, if the case may be, they will institute litigation.

The holders of at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (at the time outstanding) may rescind (i) such notice of acceleration, (ii) such decision to accelerate or (iii) such decision to institute litigation if the event or events of default giving rise to the declaration or to the decisions have been cured or waived. Such rescission shall be made no less than three Business Days prior to the accelerated payment date by giving notice in writing to the Republic and to the Fiscal Agent whereupon such declaration or decision shall be rescinded and have no further effect. No such rescission shall affect any other or any subsequent event of default or any right of any security holder in relation thereto. Such rescission will be conclusive and binding on all holders of the Securities.

6. The Republic and the Fiscal Agent may, (i) at any meeting of holders of Securities duly called and held as specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, upon affirmative vote, in person or by proxy therunto duly authorized in writing, of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding represented at the meeting, or in the case of an adjourned meeting of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, or (ii) by written consent of the holders (which may be contained in one document or several documents in the same form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more holders of Securities) of not less than 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Securities or, insofar as it affects the Securities, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, in any way, and the holders of the

Securities may make, take or give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided herby or by the Fiscal Agency Agreement to be made, given or taken by holders of Securities; provided, however, that no such action may, (x) without the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy thereunto duly authorized in writing, at any meeting of holders of Securities duly called and held as specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, of the holders of not less than 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, or in the case of an adjourned meeting of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, or (y) by written consent of the holders of not less than 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, (A) change the due date for the payment of the principal, premium (if any) or any installment of interest on the Securities, (B) reduce or cancel the principal amount or redemption price or premium (if any) of the Securities, (C) reduce the portion of the principal amount which is payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the Securities, (D) reduce the interest rate on the Securities or any premium payable upon redemption of the Securities, (E) change the currency in which interest, premium (if any) or principal will be paid or the places at which interest, premium (if any) or principal of the Securities is payable, (F) shorten the period during which the Republic is not permitted to redeem the Securities, or permit the Republic to redeem the Securities if, prior to such action, the Republic is not permitted to do so, (G) reduce the proportion of the principal amount of the Securities whose vote or consent is necessary to modify, amend or supplement the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Securities, (H) reduce the proportion of the principal amount of the Securities whose vote or consent is necessary to make, take or give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided to be made in the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Securities, (I) change the obligation of the Republic to pay additional amounts with respect to the Securities, (J) change the definition of “reserved matters” or of “outstanding” contained in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, (K) change the governing law provision of the Securities, (L) change the courts to the jurisdiction of which the Republic has submitted, its obligation under the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Securities to appoint and maintain an agent for service of process or the waiver of immunity in respect of actions or proceedings brought by any holder based upon the Securities, or (M) appoint a committee to represent holders of the Securities after an event of default occurs with respect to the Securities.

The Republic and the Fiscal Agent may, without the vote or consent of any holder of Securities, amend the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Securities for the purpose of (A) adding to the Republic’s covenants for the benefit of the holders of Securities, (B) waiving any right or power conferred upon the Republic, (C) providing security or collateral for the Securities, (D) curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision in the Securities or the Fiscal Agency Agreement, (E) amending the Fiscal Agency Agreement or any of the Securities in any manner which the Republic and the Fiscal Agent may determine and which is not inconsistent with the

Securities and does not in the opinion of the Republic materially adversely affect the interest of any holder of Securities, (F) correcting in the opinion of the Republic a manifest error of a formal, minor or technical nature, or (G) complying with mandatory provisions of law or any other modification provided that such modification is not in the opinion of the Republic materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of Securities. It shall not be necessary for the vote or consent of the holders of Securities to approve the particular form of any proposed modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but it shall be sufficient if such vote or consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Any instrument given by or on behalf of any holder of a Security in connection with any consent to or vote for any modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action will be irrevocable once given and will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent holders of such Security or any Security issued directly or indirectly in exchange or substitution therefor or in lieu thereof. Any such modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action will be conclusive and binding on all holders of Securities, whether or not they have given such consent or cast such demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action is made upon the Securities.

As used in this paragraph “control” means the power, directly or indirectly, through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interests, or otherwise, to direct the management of or elect or appoint a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions in lieu of, or in addition to, the board of directors of a corporation, trust, financial institution or other entity.

7. As more fully set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Republic has appointed the Consul General of the Republic as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Bonds (“Proceedings”) which may be instituted in any state or Federal court in New York, New York by the holder of any Security, and the Republic hereby expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such Proceeding subject to the qualifications stated below relating to actions brought under United States securities laws or the securities laws of any state of the United States. Such appointment shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, unless and until a successor Authorized Agent shall have been appointed and such successor Authorized Agent shall have accepted such appointment. The Republic will take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Proceeding may be instituted by the holder of any Security in any competent court in the Republic, in which case a copy of the documents filed in such court in connection with the institution of such proceeding shall be served upon the Minister of Finance of the Republic at least one month prior to the date fixed by such court to hear such matter. The Republic hereby waives irrevocably, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Republic and international conventions, any immunity from jurisdiction to which it might otherwise be entitled in any such Proceedings which may be instituted by the holder of any Security in any state or Federal court in New York, New York or in any competent court in the Republic. In addition, the Republic hereby waives irrevocably any immunity from execution and attachment and any process in the nature thereof in any proceeding, except that, to the extent not permitted by the laws of the Republic and international conventions, such waiver shall not apply to the funds, assets, rights and general property of the Republic located in the public or to the premises of the Republic’s diplomatic missions in any jurisdiction which affords immunity thereto or with respect to assets of the Republic outside the Republic necessary for the proper functioning of the Republic as a sovereign power. Neither such appointment nor such waiver shall be interpreted to include actions brought under the United States Federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state of the United States. This waiver is intended to be effective upon execution of this Security without further act by the Republic before any such court, and introduction of this Security into evidence shall be final and conclusive evidence of such waiver.

8. THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ITS AUTHORIZATION AND EXECUTION BY THE REPUBLIC, WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE REPUBLIC.

9. The Securities may not be redeemed by the Republic prior to maturity.

If the Republic ceases to be a member in good standing of the International Monetary Fund or ceases to be fully eligible to utilize the resources of the International Monetary Fund, upon the holder of any Security giving notice to the Republic to the Fiscal Agent, attention of the Corporate Trust & Loan Agency, in The City of New York and, for such notice to be valid, also to the Ministry of Finance, General Accounting Office, Public Debt Directorate, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇., ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice in writing (which notice shall be irrevocable), the Republic will, upon the expiry of such notice, redeem such Security at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together, if appropriate, with accrued interest.

10. The Republic will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, United States of America, a paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and registrar (the “Registrar”) for the Securities. So long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and in the event that the Securities are issued in definitive form, or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange otherwise so requires, the Republic shall appoint and maintain an additional paying agent and transfer agent in Luxembourg. The Republic will cause the Registrar to maintain a register or registers in which shall be entered the names and addresses of the holders of the Securities of this issue and the particulars of the Securities held by them, respectively, and in which transfers of the Securities shall be registered. Such Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar shall be , in The City of New York, New York, unless and until the Republic appoints a different Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar in the same city. In the event of any such change, or in the event that the Republic appoints an additional paying and transfer agent in Luxembourg, the Republic shall give notice of change to the holders of the Securities by mailing written notice of such event to the holders of the Securities as their names and addresses appear in the register maintained pursuant to this Condition 10. The holders of Securities may serve notices and demands with respect to the Securities at the office of the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained pursuant to this Condition 10.

11. This Security is transferable upon presentation for such purpose at the office of the Transfer Agent of the Republic referred to in Condition 10, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Republic executed by the registered holder hereof or by his duly authorized attorney, whereupon this Security will be cancelled and one or more Securities of this issue for an equal aggregate principal amount will be delivered to the transferee.

12. Securities of this issue upon presentation for such purpose at the office of the Transfer Agent referred to in Condition 10, accompanied by a written

instrument of transfer in form approved by the Republic executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney, may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of other fully registered Securities of this issue in other authorized denominations.

13. The Republic will make transfers and exchanges of Securities of this issue as aforesaid upon compliance by the holders of Securities with such reasonable regulations as may be prescribed by the Republic, and the Republic shall not be entitled to make any charge in respect to transfers and exchanges of Securities of this issue, but the fiscal agent and the transfer agent appointed and maintained by the Republic in Luxembourg may require from holders of Securities payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other governmental charge in connection therewith. Each Security issued upon any such transfer or exchange shall be dated the date of its countersignature by the Fiscal Agent.
