holder thereof, subject to Condition 10, to further Coupons and a further Talon.

Coupon or Talon will (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as its absolute owner for

any interest in it, any writing on it, or its theft or loss) and no person will be liable for so
treating the holder.
3.

subordinated obligations of the Issuer, and rank and shall at all times rank pari passu and
29.11.2005 13:47 (2K)
4
HELSINKI 88914 v5 [88914_5.DOC]

of the holders of all securities ranking or expressed to rank pari passu with the Notes and in
priority to the rights and claims of holders of all classes of equity (including holders of

73 of the Act and a subordinated debenture note (debentuuri) under Article 34 of the Finnish

capital adequacy calculations pursuant to Finnish bank regulatory requirements.
No Noteholder to which this Condition 3 applies or any related Coupon shall be entitled
to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim against monies owed by the Issuer in respect of
such Note or Coupon.
4.
Interest
(a) Rate of Interest
Subject to Condition 4(b), the Notes bear interest from and including 30 November 2005
(the "Issue Date") up to and excluding the Interest Payment Date falling on the date of
redemption (in accordance with Condition 6) at the Three-Month Euribor Rate plus a margin of
1.25 per cent per annum.
Interest will accrue on a non-cumulative basis from and including an Interest Payment
Date (or in the case of the first interest payment, the Issue Date) to but excluding the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date (the "Interest Period"), and will be payable quarterly in arrear
by the Issuer on 28 February, 30 May, 30 August and 30 November each year (the "Interest
Payment Date"). If no interest is paid by the Issuer in respect of any Interest Period, the
Noteholder's rights to such interest payment shall lapse.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the number of days in the Interest Period
divided by 360.
(b) Restrictions on Payments
To the extent that the board of management of the Issuer decides that Accumulated
Distributable Funds available for any financial year are insufficient to pay or to provide for
payment in full of (i) any amount of interest in respect of the Notes (the "Interest Amount"), (ii)
any amounts of interest or dividends on any Parity Instrument and (iii) any amounts of interest,
dividends or other payments under any instrument benefiting from a Parity Guarantee, in each
case falling due during such financial year, the Issuer will make, or procure to be made,
payment pro rata to the extent of the available Accumulated Distributable Funds of the Interest
Amounts and such other amounts of interest, dividends and other payments. If, and to the extent
that Accumulated Distributable Funds are not sufficient to make full payment and the Issuer
29.11.2005 13:47 (2K)
5
HELSINKI 88914 v5 [88914_5.DOC]

makes partial or no payment of any Interest Amount as a consequence, the right of the
Noteholder to receive such Interest Amount will be lost, and the Issuer will have no obligation
to pay such Interest Amount or to pay interest thereon, whether or not Interest Amounts in
respect of subsequent Interest Periods are paid.
If, in the opinion of the board of management of the Issuer, Accumulated Distributable
Funds available for any financial year will be insufficient to permit payment in full of the
Interest Amount due in such financial year, the Issuer shall on the date of notice to its Annual
General Meeting or, if the insufficiency of Accumulated Distributable Funds is known only
later, within seven days after becoming aware thereof, give notice (a "Limitation of Interest
Notice") to the Noteholder stating the amount of its Accumulated Distributable Funds, if any,
and providing details of any pro rated Interest Amount which will be paid on any Interest
Payment Date falling due in such financial year. In calculating any pro rated Interest Amounts
in respect of any Interest Period, the Issuer shall be entitled to use interest rates and where
relevant, exchange rates prevailing at 11 a.m. Central European time, on the date of the
Limitation of Interest Notice, and shall not be obliged to take potential movements in the
interest rates or, where relevant, exchange rates during the course of the financial year into
account in making such calculation.
(c) Coupons
Interest shall be paid against presentation and surrender of the appropriate Coupons in
accordance with Condition 8. After all the Coupons attached to or issued in respect of any Note
have matured, further Coupons (and a Talon for further Coupons) shall be issued against
presentation of the relevant Talon.
5.
Dividend Stopper
In the event that the Issuer serves a Limitation of Interest Notice, the Issuer undertakes
that, in each case during the financial year in which such Limitation of Interest Notice is
served:
(i)
it shall not declare, pay or distribute a dividend or make a payment (other than
a dividend in the form of its shares) on any of its shares or make any payment
on a Junior Guarantee or make any group contribution within the meaning of
the Act on Group Contributions in Taxation 21.11.1986/825;
(ii)
it shall procure that no Subsidiary shall make a payment (other than a dividend
in the form of its shares or dividend of the Issuer) on any security issued by it
benefiting from a Junior Guarantee; and
(iii)
it shall not, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries shall not, redeem, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of its shares, any Parity Instruments or any securities
issued by any Subsidiary or any instrument entered into by any Subsidiary
benefiting from a Junior Guarantee or Parity Guarantee, or pay or make
available any moneys for a sinking fund or for redemption of any shares or any

in sub-paragraph (iii) above shall not apply to any such redemption, purchase or acquisition
(1) by a Subsidiary redeeming, purchasing or acquiring its shares or other securities from the
Issuer, (2) by conversion into or in exchange for the Issuer's shares, (3) in connection with
transactions effected by or for the account of customers of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries
or in connection with the distribution, trading or market making in respect of those securities,
(4) in connection with the satisfaction by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations

another class or series of shares, or (6) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of that
class of shares or the security being converted or exchanged provided that, in each case, the

or bankruptcy of the Issuer, the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at a
redemption price equal to the original principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued
but unpaid interest on such amount, if payable pursuant to the terms of the Notes, to its date

may be) at the specified office of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, subject in all cases to any
applicable fiscal and other laws and regulations in the place of payment, but without prejudice
to the provisions of Condition 9, by euro cheque or, at the option of the Noteholder or
Couponholder, exercised by notice in writing to the Fiscal and Paying Agent not less than 5
TARGET Business Days prior to the due date for any payment of principal or interest, by

(b)
Unmatured Coupons and Unexchanged Talons

to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13.
(e) Talons
On and after the Interest Payment Date on which the final Coupon comprised in any
Coupon sheet in respect of a Note matures, the Talon comprised in such Coupon sheet may be

Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Note or Coupon presented for payment:
(i)
by or on behalf of a holder who is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges in respect of such Note or Coupon by reason of his having
some connection with Finland other than the mere holding of the Note or
Coupon;

presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would not be liable or
subject to the withholding or deduction by making a declaration of non-
residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority;

of it would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such
Note or Coupon for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;
