BACKGROUND:

In the context of the RRF Regulation, The Hellenic Republic (hereinafter the “Greek State”) submitted to the European Commission the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” (hereinafter the “Recovery and Resilience Plan”) for the financing of investments and reforms with resources from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (hereinafter referred to as the “RRF”), which was approved on 13 July 2021 by European Council Executive Decision 10152/21 (hereinafter referred to as the “Executive Decision”). According to the Recovery and Resilience Plan, the Greek State will use all loan funds raised under and pursuant to the Executive Decision and the loan agreement of 20/26 July 2021 for the provision of loan support to the Greek State up to the amount of EUR 11,727,538,920 in accordance with the terms set out in the said agreement, which was ratified by the second article of Law No. 4822/2021 (Government Gazette issue A’ nr. 135/02.08.2021), for the financing of investments falling under the following five (5) thematic pillars of the Recovery and Resilience Plan: a) green transition, b) digital transformation, c) innovation - research & development, d) developing economies of scale through partnerships, mergers and acquisitions and e) extroversion (hereinafter the “Eligible Actions”). The coordination of the implementation of RRF’s actions has been entrusted to the Special Department for the Coordination of the RRF (in Greek “Ειδική Υπηρεσία Συντονισμού Ταμείου Ανάκαμψης”), which is an independent public agency established at the Ministry of Finance under Article 271 of Law No. 4738/2020, is subordinate to the Minister of Finance and has as its purpose, inter alia, the coordination and monitoring of the implementation of the programmes and projects to be financed by RRF Funds.	

- 4 -	

 	
 
(B)	The RRF Funds will be made available, inter alia, through a financing mechanism to be set up for this purpose by means of a partnership between the Greek State and commercial banks. To this end, the Deputy Minister of Finance addressed under Article 197 para. 1 of Law 4820/2021 the open invitation under protocol number 439/30.09.2021 (ΑΔΑ: ΡΘΗ1Η-ΓΦΙ) to credit institutions, inviting the latter to express interest and apply a petition in order to cooperate with the Special Department for the Coordination of the RRF for the joint provision of loans to finance investments falling under the thematic pillars of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (hereinafter the “Invitation of the Greek State”).	
 	 	
(C)	Each of the Original Subscribers were selected in accordance with the above procedure as one of the credit institutions that will operate in accordance with the Operational Agreement (as defined below). In the framework of the implementation of the Operational Agreement, and following the approval of the Special Department for the Coordination of the RRF (Ministry of Finance, 4/2/2022 ΑΠ 15309 ΕΞ 2022), each Original Subscriber addressed an invitation to express interest for the financing of investments by means of the RRF (hereinafter each an “Invitation of the Banks”).	
 	 	
(D)	Each Original Bondholder is authorized by virtue of the provisions of its Operational Agreement to, inter alia, represent the Greek State, acting in the name and on behalf of the Greek State, in the arrangement, negotiation, conclusion and provision of RRF in the form of bond loans, in the subscription of such bonds, in the establishment of securities for such loans, to be issued by the Issuer, in the collection of amounts due in connection therewith, in the representation at the Bondholders’ meetings and a number of other powers, as detailed in each Operational Agreement.	
 	 	
(E)	On 27 May 2022, the Issuer submitted a request, as supplemented further on 12 August 2022 (hereinafter the “RRF Funding Request”) to NBG, for the financing of the Project (as defined below), on the basis that it meets the eligibility criteria of the decision of the Deputy Minister of Finance under reference 120535 ΕΞ2021 “Criteria for assessing the eligibility of investment projects financed through RRF loans” (Government Gazette issue B’ 4521/30.09.2021), as amended and currently in force, and the Project falls within the thematic axis/pillars of the RRF Scheme “Extroversion”, according to the definition of Eligible Actions as defined in the RRF Funding Request. The Project has been determined to be eligible to be financed using RRF Funds together with the co-financing funds by the independent Evaluator (as defined below).

 	d.	confirmed that the granting of the Project RRF Loans to the Issuer does not constitute state aid.

(J)	Pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors dated on or about the date hereof, the Issuer has approved the borrowing of monies by means of the Project Bonds described under Recital (H) above.	
 	 	
(K)	The Issuance of the Series Project RRF NBG Bonds and Series Project RRF PB Bonds will take place in accordance with the provisions of Company Law (as defined below) articles 59-74, article 14 of Law No. 3156/2003, the Invitation of the Greek State, the Invitation of the Banks, the Operational Agreements and the RRF Legal Framework.

 	(b)	The Facilities Agent shall, subject to paragraph (d) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Increase Confirmation appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Project Debt Programme and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Project Debt Programme, execute that Increase Confirmation.	
 	 	 	
 	(c)	The Facilities Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Increase Confirmation delivered to it by an Increase Bondholder once it (acting on the instructions of the Majority Bondholders) is satisfied that such Increase Bondholder has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Series Subscription Commitments by that Increase Bondholder.

 	(h)	Clause 37.4 (Limitation of Responsibility of Existing Bondholders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.15 (Increase) in relation to an Increase Bondholder as if references in that clause to:

2.16	Finance Parties’ Rights and Obligations	
 
 	(a)	The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several and do not constitute a joint obligation.

No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.	

- 63 -	

 	
 
 	(b)	The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and do not constitute a joint creditorship and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from the Issuer shall be a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with the Finance Documents. Any part of a Project Bond or any other amount owed by the Issuer which relates to a Finance Party’s participation in a Project Bond or its role under the Finance Documents is a debt owing to that Finance Party by the Issuer (including if it is payable to the Bondholder Agent on that Finance Party’s behalf).

 	 	“Treaty Bondholder”means a Bondholder which is beneficially entitled to interest payable to that Bondholder in respect of an advance under a Finance Document and which:	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	(i)	is treated as a resident of a Treaty State for the purposes of the Treaty;	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	(ii)	does not carry on a business in Greece through a permanent establishment with which that Bondholder’s participation in the Project Bond is effectively connected; and	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	(iii)	(subject to completion of any procedural formalities) meets all other conditions in the Treaty either for full exemption from or for a reduced rate of tax imposed by Greece on interest.	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	“Treaty State” means a jurisdiction having a double taxation agreement (a “Treaty”) with Greece which gives residents of that jurisdiction either full exemption from or a reduced rate of tax imposed by Greece on interest.

 	(b)	The Issuer shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facilities Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Bondholder shall notify the Facilities Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Bondholder. If the Facilities Agent receives such notification from a Bondholder it shall notify the Issuer.	
 	 	 	
 	(c)	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Issuer, the amount of the payment due from the Issuer shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.	
 	 		
 	(d)	A payment shall not be increased under paragraph (c) above by reason of a Tax Deduction if on the date on which the payment falls due the relevant Finance Party is not or has ceased to be entitled under applicable law to receive such payment without such Tax Deduction other than as a result of any Change in Law after the date it became a Finance Party under this Project Debt Programme.

 	(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 18.2 (Tax Gross-up), Clause 18.5 (Stamp Taxes) or Clause 19 (Increased Costs);	
 	 	 	
 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 18.2 (Tax Gross-up), Clause 18.5 (Stamp Taxes) or Clause 19 (Increased Costs) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions and/or limitations in those clauses applied;	
 	 	 	
 	(C)	relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or	
 	 	 	
 	(D)	is attributable to VAT (which shall instead be dealt with pursuant to Clause 18.6 (Value Added Tax)).

 	(b)	If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Party (the “Recipient”) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration), in so far as legally possible:	
 
 	(i)	(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply, or issue an appropriate invoice to the same effect; and	
 	 	 	
 	(ii)	(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.	
 
 	(c)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify another Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time reimburse or indemnify the other Party for all VAT incurred by the other Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that such Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

 	(ii)	any fiduciary duty; or	
 	 	 	
 	(iii)	any duty of confidentiality.	
 
 	(d)	If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then:

 	(A)	if the budgeted amounts are expressed only as an annual amount, then the budgeted amount for each quarter period shall be derived by dividing the amount in the Post-Completion Operating Budget by four (4);	
 	 	 	
 	(B)	if the budgeted amounts are expressed as a six-monthly amount, then the budgeted amount for each quarter period shall be derived by dividing the relevant six-monthly amount in the Post-Completion Operating Budget by two (2); and/or

	Any payment by the Account Bank under this Project Debt Programme will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes unless the Issuer is prevented by operation of law from making or causing to be made those payments without such deduction or withholding, whereupon Clause 18.2 (Tax Gross-up) shall apply. To the extent required by the operation of FATCA, the Account Bank will be obliged to comply with FATCA and the Issuer acknowledges that this may require the Account Bank to deal directly with the relevant Governmental Entities in respect of the payment by the Issuer of any Tax deductions payable in accordance with the operation of FATCA.

 	(b)	the Bondholder Agent or the Issuer (with the prior consent of the Bondholder Agent which shall be given provided the Issuer is in compliance with the requirements of the Finance Documents in relation to the Issuer Accounts) may at any time remove the Account Bank from its appointment hereunder by giving not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to that effect to each other Party (each such notice, a “Cessation Notice”),	
 	 	 	
 	provided that no resignation or removal of the Account Bank shall be effective until a successor is appointed in accordance with this Project Debt Programme (with such successor being another bank or financial institution which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets with a credit rating which is no less than the relevant credit rating specified in the definition of Rating Downgrade).	
 	 	 	
 	(c)	Upon receipt of a Cessation Notice, the Bondholder Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, shall nominate a bank as a successor to the resigning Account Bank. If no such nomination is made by the Bondholder Agent before the date specified in the Cessation Notice as being the date on which the resigning Account Bank wishes to cease to be a party to this Project Debt Programme (the “Cessation Date”) (which date shall be, a Business Day falling not less than sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of the Cessation Notice to the Bondholder Agent), then the resigning Account Bank may nominate such a successor itself and provide such necessary “know your customer” documentation as may be required by the Finance Parties in respect of such successor, in form and substance satisfactory to the Finance Parties. The Account Bank shall be required to extend the Cessation Date until such date a successor is appointed as per the terms of this Project Debt Programme.

33.58	Rating Downgrade of the Account Bank	
 	 	 	
 	(a)	As soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of a Rating Downgrade, the affected Account Bank shall notify each of the Bondholder Agent and the Issuer of such occurrence.

33.59	Successor Account Bank	
 	 	 	
 	(a)	If a successor Account Bank is nominated under the provisions of Clause 33.57 (Resignation of the Account Bank), then on the Cessation Date and provided such successor has executed and delivered to the Bondholder Agent a deed of novation in such form as the Bondholder Agent may require undertaking to become a party to and bound by the terms and conditions of this Project Debt Programme:	
 
 	(i)	any amounts standing to the credit of the relevant Issuer Accounts maintained by the retiring Account Bank shall be transferred to the accounts in the name of the Issuer opened on the books of the successor Account Bank at its principal offices in Greece;	

- 193 -	

 	
 
 	 (ii)	any Permitted Investments held by the retiring Account Bank under this Project Debt Programme shall be transferred to the successor Account Bank;	
 	 	 	
 	 (iii)	the retiring Account Bank shall cease to be a party to this Project Debt Programme and shall cease to have any obligation hereunder in such capacity (but without prejudice to any accrued liabilities under this Project Debt Programme) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Clause 33 (Role of the Bondholder Agent, the Facilities Agent, the Account Bank, the Mandated Lead Arranger and others); and	
 	 	 	
 	 (iv)	the successor Account Bank and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if the successor Account Bank had been an original Party as an Account Bank.	
 
 	(b)	The retiring Account Bank shall make available to the successor Account Bank such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Account Bank may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Account Bank under this Project Debt Programme.	
 
33.60	No Reliance on Account Bank	
 	 	
	It is understood and agreed by each Finance Party other than the Account Bank that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, value, affairs, status and nature of the Issuer, each Shareholder, the Sponsor and the Project and, accordingly, each Bondholder warrants and confirms to the Account Bank that it has not relied and will not hereafter rely on the Account Bank:	
 
 	(a)	to check or enquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided to it by any person in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions therein contemplated (whether or not such information has been, or is hereafter approved by, or circulated to such Finance Party by any Account Bank);

 	(d)	to check or enquire on its behalf into the ownership, value or sufficiency of any property the subject of any Security Interest, the priority of any Security Interest, the right or title of any person in or to any property comprised therein or the existence of any encumbrance affecting the same; or	
 	 	 	
 	(e)	to assess or keep under review on its behalf the identity, financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, value, affairs, status or nature of the Issuer, each Shareholder and the Sponsors or the Project.

 	 	(ii)	confirms that it will not consent further to any Security Interest over the Secured Account which are maintained with it.

 	(b)	that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of assignment in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the Issuer will be liable to the reimbursing Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed and the Recovering Finance Party shall re-assign any claims assigned to it pursuant to paragraph 34.3(a) of Clause 34.3 (Recovering Finance Party’s Rights).

 	If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Bondholder, the Bondholder of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Bondholder, the Facilities Agent must (in consultation with the Issuer) appoint another Bondholder or an Affiliate of a Bondholder to replace that Reference Bank.

37.12	Register	
 	 	
 	The Bondholder Agent shall keep a register (the “Register”) of all the Bondholders and shall supply any Bondholder or the Issuer (at that person’s expense) with a copy of the Register on request. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer and the Bondholder Agent may deem and treat any person who is for the time being shown in the Register as entitled to a particular Nominal Amount of Project Bonds as the holder of such Nominal Amount of Project Bonds (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof), unless an enforceable court decision provides otherwise.	
 	 	
38.	SET-OFF	
 	 	
 	At any time after a notice has been given under or pursuant to Clause 33.37 (Bondholders’ Indemnity to the Facilities Agent), a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from the Issuer under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to the Issuer, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

40.2	Project Bond nature

 	(e)	Any reference in a Finance Document to a communication being sent or received shall be construed to include that communication being made available in accordance with this Clause 41.6.	
 
41.7	Use of Websites

42.	CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES	
 	 	
42.1	Accounts	
 	 	
 	In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in connection with a Finance Document (other than a Hedging Agreement), the entries made in the accounts maintained by a Finance Party (other than a Hedging Counterparty) are, in the absence of manifest or proven error, prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate. An extract from the books of a Finance Party (other than a Hedging Counterparty) shall constitute full proof of the matters to which they relate and adequate and appropriate documentary evidence for the issue of an order of payment (“διαταγήπληρωμής” under Greek law), subject to counter-evidence.	
 	 	
42.2	Certificates and Determinations	
 	 	
 	Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under any Finance Document is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.	
 	 	
42.3	Day count Convention	
 	 	
 	Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document (other than a Hedging Agreement) will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days or, in any case where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market differs, in accordance with that market practice.	
 	 	
43.	PARTIAL INVALIDITY	
 	 	
 	If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.	
 	 	
44.	REMEDIES AND WAIVERS	
 	 	
 	No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy or constitute an election to affirm any Finance Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Project Debt Programme are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 	(iv)	any requirement that a cancellation of Series Subscription Commitments reduces the Series Subscription Commitments of the Bondholders rateably;

 	(e)	Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, any term of the Finance Documents (other than any Fee Letter or a Hedging Agreement) may be amended or waived by the Issuer and the Facilities Agent without the consent, sanction, authority or further confirmation of any other Party if that amendment or waiver is:

 	(ii)	consequential on, incidental to, or required to implement an approved amendment, waiver, consent or release provided that such waiver or amendment does not adversely affect the interests of the other Bondholders whose consent is not required for the applicable amendment; or

 	(g)	Any Finance Party (not being an Excluded Bondholder) or its permitted assignee or transferee that has expressly not consented or not agreed to a request for an amendment, waiver, consent or release shall always have the right to change or revoke their decision and subsequently deliver to the Facilities Agent a consent or agreement to such request at any time during the period for which the vote and request process is open for consents and acceptances as notified by the Facilities Agent to such Bondholder (and subject to any extension of such period as agreed between the Issuer and the Facilities Agent).	

- 220 -	

 	
 
 	(h)	Each Finance Party irrevocably and unconditionally authorises and instructs the Facilities Agent (for the benefit of the Bondholder Agent, the Facilities Agent and/or the Issuer, where applicable) to execute any documentation relating to a proposed amendment or waiver as soon as the requisite Bondholder consent is received (or on such later date as may be agreed by the Facilities Agent and the Issuer). Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Finance Parties shall enter into any documentation necessary to implement an amendment or waiver once that amendment or waiver has been approved by the requisite number of Bondholders determined in accordance with this Clause 46 (Amendments).

- 222 -	

 	
 
 	(b)	The Facilities Agent shall promptly, and in any case within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Replacement Notice, notify the Bondholders other than the relevant Bondholder of the proposed transfer or assignment.

(iii) the Series Project PB Bridge Co-financing Bonds and from PB RRF Switch Date, the Series Project Co-financing PB Bonds (paragraphs (i) to (iii) together, the “Applicable Series”).
 
Such hedging with respect to the Applicable Series shall be entered into, on or before the date of Financial Close and by way of Interest Rate Hedging Instruments (as defined below) so as to ensure that, at all times during the period commencing on the date of Financial Close and ending on the Maturity Date, not less than seventy per cent. (70%) of the interest rate exposure on the Applicable Series up to the Maturity Date projected by the Initial Base Case Financial Model (taking into account any cash sweep prepayments relating to the Applicable Series contemplated thereunder) is hedged.

(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, the Aggregate Notional Amount shall not, at any time, exceed the interest rate exposure under the Applicable Series and the Issuer shall (in co-operation with the Hedging Counterparties) adjust the Aggregate Notional Amount so that it is hedged for not less than the percentage set forth in subparagraphs (a) above, but not more than one hundred per cent. (100%), of its entire interest rate exposure on the Applicable Series.

- 268 -	

 	
 
(d) If, at any time after the Project Completion, there exists a Hedge Excess in respect of the Applicable Series (an “Excess Hedging Event”), the Issuer shall instruct the relevant Hedging Counterparties, on the date of the occurrence of such Hedge Excess (in the circumstances where that Hedge Excess has occurred as a result of a repayment or prepayment or cancellation in part of the Applicable Series) and as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (in all other circumstances) to reduce the Aggregate Notional Amount in such proportions so as to make the Aggregate Notional Amount in respect of any Hedging Calculation Period to be not more than one hundred per cent. (100%) provided always that in so doing, the Issuer must at all times remain in compliance with the Hedging Policy and any such terminations shall be effected pro rata across each Hedging Agreement. If the Issuer has not instructed, within ten (10) Business Days, the relevant Hedging Counterparties to reduce such Hedge Excess to be not more than one hundred per cent (100%), then the Hedging Counterparties may terminate such excess.
 
(e) The Issuer will give written notice, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the occurrence or expected occurrence of any event which may give rise to an Excess Hedging Event, to the Bondholders and (if applicable), the Facilities Agent of the (expected) occurrence of such Excess Hedging Event together with information in relation to any Hedging Calculation Period of the Aggregate Notional Amount for such period, together with reasonable details of the calculations required for the purposes of complying with paragraph (d) above.
 
(f) The early termination amount in the case of a Hedge Excess shall be computed in accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Hedging Agreement.
 
(g) In the event of an exercise of the Deferral Option by the Issuer under the Project Debt Programme, the Issuer shall notify the Hedging Counterparties of the exercise of the Deferral Option and the Issuer and the Hedging Counterparties shall, each acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, negotiate a prompt roll over of the open position with respect to the Aggregate Notional Amount for the first Hedging Calculation Period to the remaining Hedging Calculation Periods, pro rata.
 
2.2 Metal price risk
 
(a) The maximum metal price hedging for gold and/or copper required to be entered into by the Issuer (such price to be determined pursuant to paragraphs 2.2(b) and (c) below) shall not exceed fifty per cent (50%) of the forecasted Project Production in relation to the Project in any calendar year as set out in the Initial Base Case Financial Model and shall commence six (6) months prior to the First Repayment Date.
 
(b) The purpose of the metal price hedging for gold and/or copper is to ensure that after Project Completion, and having regard to a potential Downside Metal Price, the Issuer maintains the Projected DSCR for the Prospective DSCR Calculation Period is equal to or greater than 1.50x and equal to or lesser than 1.55x (calculated on a three (3) year rolling basis) tested annually on the first Business Day in April after the end of each Financial Year after the updated Base Case Financial Model is agreed between the Issuer and the Facilities Agent pursuant to clause 23.1 (d) (Initial Base Case Financial Model and Annual Updates) of the Project Debt Programme. The Issuer shall submit the relevant calculations and confirmation to the Facilities Agent on such Calculation Date along with the relevant Issuer Compliance Certificate. At any time that a Downside Metal Price Event occurs, the Issuer in consultation with the Bondholders shall within ten (10) Business Days recalculate and submit a revised confirmation including proposal for additional metal price hedging for gold or copper prices to achieve the ratio levels set out in this paragraph (b) (calculated on a three (3) year rolling basis) (each such confirmation, a “Metal Hedging Proposal”). Along with the revised confirmation, the Issuer shall deliver an updated Base Case Financial Model in accordance with clause 23.1 (The Base Case Financial Model and Budgets) of the Project Debt Programme along with a compliant Issuer Compliance Certificate.

- 269 -	

 	
 
(c) If the calculations provided by the Issuer demonstrate that the ratio set out in paragraph 2.2(b) is below the level stipulated therein, then the Issuer shall, within ten (10) Business Days of confirmation from the Facilities Agent and the Bondholders to execute the metal price hedging arrangements specified in such Metal Hedging Proposal, enter into such metal price hedging arrangements for gold and/or copper to achieve the ratio level specified in paragraph 2.2(b) above for any year during the rolling period for which the ratio is not achieved. Unless consented to by the Majority Bondholders, the Issuer will not enter into metal pricing hedging for gold and/or copper that has the effect of maintaining, at the time such hedging is entered into, the Projected DSCR for the Prospective DSCR Calculation Period at a level lower than 1.50x or higher than 1.55x (calculated on a three (3) year rolling basis).
 
(d) Notwithstanding any other terms in this Hedging Policy, if the Issuer has entered into metal price hedging arrangements for at least fifty per cent. (50%) of the forecasted Project Production in relation to the Project in any calendar year as set out in the Initial Base Case Financial Model for gold and copper and do not meet the ratio level specified in at paragraph 2.2(b) above for such year during the rolling period, the Issuer shall be deemed to be in full compliance with the requirements of paragraph 2.2 (Metal price risk) of this Hedging Policy.
 
(e) The Issuer may enter into swaps, forwards, collars or any other hedging arrangement (each a “Commodity Hedging Instrument”) with one or more Hedging Counterparties for metal prices with respect to copper or gold prices.
 
(f) The Bondholders and the Hedging Counterparties agree to consider in good faith any proposal with regards to metal price hedging made by the Issuer which will be favourable to the Project and any amendments to the Intercreditor Agreement necessary for any metal price hedge provider to participate in the Project as Hedging Counterparty.
 
(g) If the Bondholders agree to any proposal made to them pursuant to paragraph (f) above within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the request made by the Issuer, the Issuer may following such agreement from the Bondholders enter into any Commodity Hedging Instrument with one or more Hedging Counterparties to hedge its exposure to prices of the relevant forecasted Project Production in relation to the Project, if any.
 
(h) In the event of an exercise of the Deferral Option by the Issuer under the Project Debt Programme, the Issuer shall notify the Hedging Counterparties of the exercise of the Deferral Option and the Issuer and the Hedging Counterparties shall, each acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, negotiate a prompt roll over of the open position with respect to the year that the Deferral Option is exercised, to the subsequent Hedging Calculation Periods.

- 270 -	

 	
 
2.3 Foreign exchange risk
 
(a) On or prior to Financial Close, the Issuer shall enter into appropriate foreign exchange hedging arrangement in relation to no less than fifty per cent. (50%) of the aggregate notional principal amounts under:
 
(i) the Series Project RRF NBG Bonds and Series Project PB Bridge RRF Bonds and after the PB RRF Switch Date, the Series Project RRF PB Bonds;
 
(ii) the Series Project Co-financing NBG Bonds and Series Project PB Bridge Co-financing Bonds and after the PB RRF Switch Date, the Series Project Co-financing PB Bonds; and
 
(iii) the Series Project Term Bonds and the Series Project Cost Overrun Bonds (if any),
 
(paragraph (i) – (iii) above together, the “Applicable FX Series”) that are projected to be outstanding on each Project Interest Payment Date commencing the First Repayment Date as set out in the Initial Base Case Financial Model (the “FX Hedging Instruments”), for the purposes of mitigating any foreign exchange risk with respect to the revenues for the Project to be received in US Dollars that are to be used for repaying such Project Bonds in Euros.
 
(b) In the event of an exercise of the Deferral Option by the Issuer under the Project Debt Programme, the Issuer shall notify the Hedging Counterparties of the exercise of the Deferral Option and the Issuer and the Hedging Counterparties shall, each acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, negotiate a prompt roll over of the open position with respect to the notional amount of the FX Hedging Instrument for the first Hedging Calculation Period to the next five Hedging Calculation Periods, pro rata.
 
3. TERMS OF HEDGING AGREEMENTS
 
The terms of any Hedging Agreement shall:
 
(a) be based in a manner satisfactory to the Facilities Agent on the standard ISDA documentation (including an ISDA Master Agreement and a confirmation);
 
(b) be in accordance with and subject to the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement; and
 
(c) be assigned to or otherwise secured by the Issuer (in either case subject to the netting and set–off provisions of the ISDA Agreements) in favour of the Bondholder Agent.

If any Bondholder elects not to enter into part or all of its Hedging Entitlement, such entitlement shall be re-offered to the Bondholders which have elected to enter into the whole of their respective Hedging Entitlements and shall be allocated to such Bondholders in an amount equal to their Pro Rata Proportion.
 
(c) If following a request by the Issuer to the Bondholders to enter into hedging arrangements in connection with the requirements of this Hedging Policy (the notional amount of such request, the “Hedging Notional Request”), the existing Bondholders are unable to enter into hedging arrangements for some or all of the Hedging Notional Request (together, the “Unallocated Hedge Amounts” and any hedging arrangement for any Hedging Notional Request that the Bondholders offer to enter into in accordance with the terms of this Hedging Policy, the “Allocated Hedge Amounts”), the Facilities Agent (acting on the advice of the Hedging Counterparties) shall notify the Issuer of the same, including the Unallocated Hedge Amounts and the Allocated Hedge Amounts and thereafter, one of the following shall apply:

(ii) at the direction of the Facilities Agent, acting on the instruction of the Majority Bondholders, the requirement for the Issuer to enter into hedging arrangements for the Hedging Notional Request in accordance with the requirements of this Hedging Policy shall be permanently waived and the Issuer shall be in full compliance with the Hedging Policy; or

(iii) at the direction of the Facilities Agent, acting on the instructions of the Majority Bondholders, request the Issuer to enter into Allocated Hedge Amounts with the relevant Bondholders and the Unallocated Hedge Amounts with a third party Acceptable Bank or any other party reasonably acceptable to the Facilities Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Bondholders) (a “Third Party Hedging Counterparty”), and in such case:
 
(A) the Issuer and each Hedging Counterparty that offers to enter into Allocated Hedge Amounts shall, acting in good faith, negotiate and enter into such Allocated Hedge Amounts on the terms agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Hedging Counterparty;
 
(B) the Issuer, the Bondholders and the Hedging Counterparties shall (unless they have previously done so), acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, amend the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (and, if applicable, any other Finance Document) within ten (10) Business Days in order to: (1) permit a Third Party Hedging Counterparty to become a Hedging Counterparty in accordance with the requirements of this Hedging Policy (other than paragraph 4(a)(i) above; (2) ensure that the relevant Third Party Hedging Counterparty is able to share pro-rata in the Transaction Security and otherwise be entitled to all the same rights as the Hedging Counterparties under the Finance Documents; and (3) agree accession documentation for the Third Party Hedging Counterparty to accede to the Intercreditor Agreement on terms no more onerous than those required of any new Bondholder (together, the “Finance Document Amendments”); and
 
(C) following conclusion of the step in (ii) above, the Issuer shall procure (the “Third Party Hedging Counterparty Procurement Obligation”) that a Third Party Hedging Counterparty accedes to the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the Finance Document Amendments and enters into hedging arrangements with the Issuer in respect of the Unallocated Hedge Amount on substantially the same terms as the hedging arrangements with the other Hedging Counterparties in respect of the Unallocated Hedge Amount promptly, but in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the later of the relevant instruction from the Facilities Agent and the Finance Document Amendments being concluded (the “Third Party Hedging Counterparty Process Period”),
 
provided that the Issuer shall be not be deemed to be in default until the end of the Third Party Hedging Counterparty Process Period and only if, as of the end of such period, the Third Party Hedging Counterparty Procurement Obligation has been satisfied and the Parties acknowledge that none of the waivers set out at paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall be deemed to be a waiver of any separate, future hedging obligation arising pursuant to the terms of this Hedging Policy.
