§ 3
INTEREST

(1) Rate of Interest. The Notes shall bear interest on their outstanding aggregate principal amount
from, and including, 20 September 2013 (the "Interest Commencement Date") to, but excluding,
the Maturity Date (as defined in § 5 (1)).
The rate of interest (the "Rate of Interest") for each Interest Period (as defined below) shall be
the Reference Interest Rate (as defined below), plus the Margin (as defined below).
"Reference Interest Rate" means, except as provided below, the 6-months CZK-PRIBOR-PRBO
(as defined below), expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The 6-months CZK-PRIBOR-PRBO shall be the offered rate for deposits in the Specified Currency
with a term, which corresponds with the term of the Reference Interest Rate, which appears on the
Screen Page (as defined below) as of 11:00 (Prague time) on the Determination Day (as defined
below), all as determined by the Calculation Agent (as specified in § 6 (1)).
"Margin" means 0.20 per cent. per annum.

(expressed as a percentage rate per annum) at which it offers deposits in the Specified Currency
with a term, which corresponds with the term of the Reference Interest Rate, at approximately
11:00 (Prague time) on the Determination Day.
If two or more of the Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with such rates, the
Reference Interest Rate for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean
(rounded if necessary to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with
0.000005 being rounded upwards) of such rates, all as determined by the Calculation Agent.
If the Reference Interest Rate cannot be determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions

be the rate determined by the Calculation Agent in its reasonable discretion; the Calculation Agent
shall take general market practice into account when determining such rate.

shall continue to accrue on the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes from, and
including, the due date for redemption to, but excluding, the date of actual redemption of the Notes
at the rate of interest specified in § 3 (1). This does not affect any additional rights that might be
available to the Holders.]

(4) Calculation of Amount of Interest. The Calculation Agent will calculate the amount of interest
payable under the Notes (the "Amount of Interest") in respect of the Specified Denomination for
the relevant Interest Period. The Amount of Interest shall be calculated by applying the Rate of
Interest to the Specified Denomination, multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction
(as defined below) and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant
Specified Currency, with half of such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance
with applicable market convention.

(5) Notification of Rate of Interest and Amount of Interest. The Calculation Agent will cause the
Interest Period, the Rate of Interest, the Amount of Interest and the Interest Payment Date for the

relevant Interest Period to be notified to the Issuer, any stock exchange on which the Notes are
from time to time listed (if required by the rules of such stock exchange) and to the Holders in
accordance with § 11 as soon as possible after their determination. Each Amount of Interest and
Interest Payment Date so notified may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative
arrangements made by way of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or
shortening of the Interest Period. Any such amendment will be promptly notified to any stock
exchange on which the Notes are from time to time listed and to the Holders in accordance with §
11.

by it of its powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.

paragraph (2) below, to the Clearing System or to its order for credit to the accounts of the
relevant accountholders of the Clearing System.

amounts due in respect of the Notes shall be made in the Specified Currency.

If the Issuer determines that it is impossible to make payments of amounts due on the Notes in
freely negotiable and convertible funds on the relevant due date for reasons beyond its control or
that the Specified Currency or any successor currency provided for by law (the "Successor
Currency") is no longer used for the settlement of international financial transactions, the Issuer
may fulfil its payment obligations by making such payments in Euro on the relevant due date on
the basis of the Applicable Exchange Rate. Holders shall not be entitled to further interest or any
additional amounts as a result of such payment. The "Applicable Exchange Rate" shall be (i) (if
such exchange rate is available) the exchange rate of Euro against the Specified Currency or the
Successor Currency (if applicable) determined and published by the European Central Bank for
the most recent calendar day falling within a reasonable period of time prior to the relevant due
date, or (ii) (if such exchange rate is not available) the exchange rate of Euro against the Specified
Currency or the Successor Currency (if applicable) which the Fiscal Agent has calculated as the
arithmetic mean of offered rates concerning the Specified Currency or the Successor Currency (if
applicable) quoted to the Fiscal Agent by four leading banks operating in the international foreign
exchange market for the most recent calendar day falling within a reasonable (as determined by
the Fiscal Agent in its reasonable discretion) period of time prior to the relevant due date, or (iii) (if
such exchange rate is not available) the exchange rate of Euro against the Specified Currency or
the Successor Currency (if applicable) as determined by the Fiscal Agent in its reasonable
discretion.
(3) Payment Business Day. If the due date for any payment in respect of the Notes would
otherwise fall on a calendar day which is not a Payment Business Day (as defined below), the due
date for such payment shall be postponed to the next calendar day which is a Payment Business
Day unless the due date for such payment would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in
which event the due date for such payment shall be the immediately preceding calendar day which
is a Payment Business Day.

"Payment Business Day" means a calendar day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) (i) on which
the Clearing System is open, and (ii) which is a Business Day (as defined in § 1 (7))
If the due date for a payment of interest is brought forward or postponed (as described above), the

amount of interest shall be adjusted accordingly.

If the due date for the redemption of the principal amount of the Notes is adjusted the Holder shall
not be entitled to payments in respect of such adjustment.

in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable: the Final Redemption Amount of
the Notes (as specified in § 5 (1)); the Early Redemption Amount of the Notes (as specified in § 5);
and any premium and any other amounts (other than interest) which may be payable under or in

(which notice shall be irrevocable), if on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will
become obliged to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to § 7 (1) as a result of any change in, or
amendment to, the laws or regulations of the Republic Austria or of any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, or as a result of any change in, or amendment to, an official interpretation
or application of such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective on or after the date
on which the last tranche of this series of Notes is issued, and such amendment or change has been
evidenced by the delivery by the Issuer to the Fiscal Agent (who shall accept such certificate and
opinion as sufficient evidence thereof) of (i) a certificate signed by two authorised representatives of
the Issuer on behalf of the Issuer stating that such amendment or change has occurred (irrespective of
whether such amendment or change is then effective), describing the facts leading thereto and stating
that such requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it and
(ii) an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised reputation to the effect that such
amendment or change has occurred (irrespective of whether such amendment or change is then

with respect to any Note:
