the Screen Rate is unavailable, and at least two of the Reference Banks provide such rates, the arithmetic mean
(rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) as established by the
Agent Bank of such rates, plus the Margin.
(c)
If fewer than two rates are provided as requested, the Rate of Interest for that Interest Period will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in the Euro-zone, selected by the Agent Bank, at
approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the first day of such Interest Period for loans in euro to leading
European banks for a period of three months commencing on the first day of such Interest Period and for a
Representative Amount, plus the Margin. If the Rate of Interest cannot be determined in accordance with the
above provisions, the Rate of Interest shall be determined as at the last preceding Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Rate of Interest and Interest Amount

but in no event later than the third Business Day thereafter, determine the euro amount (the Interest Amount)
payable in respect of interest on each e50,000 principal amount of Notes for the relevant Interest Period. The
Interest Amount shall be determined by applying the Rate of Interest to such principal amount, multiplying the
sum by the actual number of days in the Interest Period concerned divided by 360 and rounding the resultant
figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards).
3.5
Publication of Rate of Interest and Interest Amount
The Agent Bank shall cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount for each Interest Period and the relative
Interest Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent and to any stock exchange or other relevant

Redemption at Maturity
Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled as provided below, the Issuer will redeem the Notes at

5.2
Redemption for Taxation Reasons
If:
(a)
as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the Republic of Hungary, or any
change in the official interpretation of the laws or regulations of the Republic of Hungary, which change or
amendment becomes effective after 3rd March, 2005, on the next Interest Payment Date the Issuer would be
required to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 6; and
(b)
the requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it,
the Issuer may at its option (but subject to the prior approval of the Hungarian Financial Supervisory Authority
(Pe¤nzgyi Szervezetek A¤llami Felgyelete) (the Regulator, which expression shall include any successor to the
Hungarian Financial Supervisory Authority (Pe¤nzgyi Szervezetek A¤llami Felgyelete) as the relevant regulator of
banks operating in the Republic of Hungary) where required), having given not less than 30 nor more than 60
days' notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 10 (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem all
the Notes, but not some only, on the next Interest Payment Date at their principal amount. Prior to the publication
7


of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a certificate
signed by two Directors of the Issuer stating that the requirement referred to in (a) above will apply on the next
Interest Payment Date and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of
the Issuer so to redeem have occurred and cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available
to it and an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer has or will
become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of the change or amendment.
5.3
Purchases
The Issuer or any of its subsidiaries may, subject to the prior approval of the Regulator where required, at any time
purchase Notes (provided that all unmatured Coupons appertaining to the Notes are purchased with the Notes) in
any manner and at any price.
5.4
Cancellations
All Notes which are (a) redeemed or (b) purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries will
forthwith be cancelled, together with all relative unmatured Coupons attached to the Notes or surrendered with
the Notes, and accordingly may not be reissued or resold.
5.5
Notices Final
Upon the expiry of any notice as is referred to in paragraph 5.2 above the Issuer shall be bound to redeem the
Notes to which the notice refers in accordance with the terms of such paragraph.
6.
Taxation
6.1
Payment without Withholding
All payments in respect of the Notes by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be made without withholding or deduction
for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever
nature (Taxes) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Republic of Hungary or any political subdivision or any
authority thereof or therein with power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by
law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts
received by the Noteholders and Couponholders after the withholding or deduction shall equal the respective
amounts which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons in the
absence of the withholding or deduction; except that no additional amounts shall be payable in relation to any
payment in respect of any Note or Coupon:
(a)
presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who is liable to the Taxes in respect of the Note or
Coupon by reason of his having some connection with the Republic of Hungary other than the mere holding of
the Note or Coupon; or
(b)
presented for payment in the Republic of Hungary; or
(c)
where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made
pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the
ECOFIN Council meeting of 26th-27th November, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law
implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or
(d)
presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or
deduction by presenting the relevant Note or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the
European Union; or
(e)
presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent
that a holder would have been entitled to additional amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day
of the period of 30 days assuming that day to have been a Presentation Date (as defined in Condition 4).
In these Conditions Relevant Date means the date on which the payment first becomes due but, if the full
amount of the money payable has not been received by the Fiscal Agent on or before the due date, it means the
date on which, the full amount of the money having been so received, notice to that effect has been duly given to
the Noteholders by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 10.
6.2
Additional Amounts
Any reference in these Conditions to any amounts in respect of the Notes shall be deemed also to refer to any
additional amounts which may be payable under this Condition.
8


7.
Prescription
Notes and Coupons will become void unless presented for payment within periods of 10 years (in the case of
principal) and five years (in the case of interest) from the Relevant Date in respect of the Notes or, as the case may
be, the Coupons, subject to the provisions of Condition 4.
8.
Events of Default
8.1
Liquidation
If a judgment is made for the dissolution and liquidation of the Issuer and is not cancelled within a period of
14 days from the date of such judgment or an effective resolution is passed for the dissolution and liquidation of
the Issuer, the holder of any Note may give written notice to the Fiscal Agent at its specified office that such Note
is due and payable, whereupon the same shall become forthwith due and payable at its principal amount,
together with accrued interest (if any) to the date of repayment without presentation, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind.
8.2
Non Payment
If default is made for more than 60 days in the payment of any interest due under the Notes or any of them, any
Noteholder may institute proceedings in the Republic of Hungary (but not elsewhere) in accordance with Act XLIX
of 1991 on Bankruptcy, Liquidation and Voluntary Winding-up Proceedings for the dissolution and liquidation of
the Issuer.
8.3
Breach of Obligations
To the extent permitted by applicable law and by these Conditions, a Noteholder may at its discretion institute
such proceedings against the Issuer as it may think fit to enforce any obligation, condition, undertaking or
provision binding on the Issuer under the Notes or the Coupons, but the institution of such proceedings shall not
have the effect that the Issuer shall be obliged to pay any sum or sums sooner than would otherwise have been
payable by it.
8.4
Other Remedies
No remedy against the Issuer, other than the institution of the proceedings referred to in Condition 8.2 or 8.3 and
the proving or claiming in any dissolution and liquidation of the Issuer, shall be available to the Noteholders or the
Couponholders whether for the recovering of amounts owing in respect of the Notes or the Coupons or in respect
of any breach by the Issuer of any other obligation, condition or provision binding on it under the Notes or the
Coupons.
9.
Replacement of Notes and Coupons
Should any Note or Coupon be lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed it may be replaced at the specified
office of the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent in Luxembourg, upon payment by the claimant of the expenses
incurred in connection with the replacement and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Issuer may
reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Notes or Coupons must be surrendered before replacements will be
issued.
10. Notices
10.1 Notices to the Noteholders
All notices to the Noteholders will be valid if published in a leading English language daily newspaper published in
London or such other English language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe as the Issuer may
decide and, so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that exchange so
require, in one daily newspaper published in Luxembourg. It is expected that publication will normally be made in
the Financial Times and the Luxemburger Wort or the Tageblatt. The Issuer shall also ensure that notices are duly
published in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or other relevant
authority on which the Notes are for the time being listed. Any such notice will be deemed to have been given on
the date of the first publication or, where required to be published in more than one newspaper, on the date of
the first publication in all required newspapers.

affecting their interests, including the modification by Extraordinary Resolution of any of these Conditions or any
of the provisions of the Agency Agreement. The quorum at any meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution
will be one or more persons present holding or representing more than 50 per cent. in principal amount of the
Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting one or more persons present whatever the
principal amount of the Notes held or represented by him or them, except that at any meeting the business of
which includes the modification of certain of these Conditions the necessary quorum for passing an Extraordinary
Resolution will be one or more persons present holding or representing not less than two-thirds, or at any
adjourned meeting not less than one-third, of the principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding.
An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of the Noteholders will be binding on all Noteholders,
whether or not they are present at the meeting, and on all Couponholders.
11.2 Modification
The Fiscal Agent may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, to any modification of
any of these Conditions or any of the provisions of the Agency Agreement either (i) for the purpose of curing any
ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing any manifest or proven error or any other defective provision
contained herein or therein or (ii) in any other manner which is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the
Noteholders. Any modification shall be binding on the Noteholders and the Couponholders and, unless the Fiscal
Agent agrees otherwise, any modification shall be notified by the Issuer to the Noteholders as soon as practicable
thereafter in accordance with Condition 10.
12. Further Issues
The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders create and issue
further notes, having terms and conditions the same as those of the Notes, or the same except for the amount of
the first payment of interest, which may be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Notes.
13. Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction
13.1 Governing Law
The Agency Agreement, the Notes and the Coupons are governed by, and will be construed in accordance with,
English law except for Condition 2 which is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of
the Republic of Hungary.
13.2 Jurisdiction of English Courts
The Issuer has irrevocably agreed for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Couponholders that the courts of
England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with the
Notes or the Coupons and accordingly has submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The Issuer
waives any objection to the courts of England on the grounds that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate
forum.
The Noteholders and the Couponholders may take any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or in connection
with the Notes or the Coupons respectively (together referred to as Proceedings) against the Issuer in any other
court of competent jurisdiction and concurrent Proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

it will appoint another person as its agent for that purpose.
