Status of the Bonds
(1)
The Bonds and the Coupons (if issued) constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated
obligations of the Issuer and shall at all times rank pari passu and without any preference
among themselves. The rights and claims of the Bondholders and the holders of a Coupon
(if issued) (the "Couponholders") are subordinated as described in Condition 2(2).

1

(2)
Subject to exceptions provided by mandatory applicable law, the payment obligations under
the Bonds and Coupons (if issued) constitute unsecured obligations of the Issuer and shall,

(ontbinding) as a result of the insolvency of the Issuer, rank, in accordance with applicable
laws of the Netherlands:
(a)
subordinated and junior only to present or future unsubordinated indebtedness of the

of set-off by the Bondholders or Couponholders in respect of any amount owed to such
Bondholders or Couponholders by the Issuer under or in connection with such Bond or

all such rights of set-off in full.

six-month period to and including each such date. Whenever it is necessary to compute an

but excluding the due date to and including the date of the actual redemption of such Bonds,
computed on the basis of a 365-day year at the rate specified in the first paragraph of this

Entry Transfer Institution (kiko kanyusha) (the "Institution Participants"); provided that if

which (a) or (b) could occur:

Additional Amounts (as defined in Condition 8) with respect to payments on the
Bonds; or

Interest payable on the Bonds when paid would not be deductible by the Issuer for
Netherlands corporate income tax liability purposes,
then the Issuer may, subject to Condition 6(2), having delivered to the Fiscal Agent a copy of

Netherlands experienced in such matters to the effect set out in (a) or, as applicable, (b)

clarification of, or change in the official position or the interpretation of such Administrative
Action or any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to
such Administrative Action that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position, in
each case, by any legislative body, court, governmental authority or regulatory body,

amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the relevant date fixed for
redemption.
A "Capital Event" is deemed to have occurred if the Issuer demonstrates to the satisfaction
of the Competent Authority that, as a result only of any amendment to, or change in the
regulatory classification of the Bonds under the Solvency Rules which results in full
exclusion of the whole of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds from Tier 2 Capital
and in any such case the relevant amendment or change is one which the Competent
Authority is satisfied was not reasonably foreseeable as at the Issue Date. For the

European Banking Authority or other relevant authority, which are applicable to the Issuer
(on a solo or consolidated basis) and which lay down the requirements to be fulfilled by
financial instruments for their inclusion in the regulatory capital of the Issuer (on a solo or

in its capacity as paying agent under the Business Rules) to the Bondholders, directly in
case when such Bondholders are the Institution Participants, and in other case through the
relevant account management institution (kouza kanri kikan) (the "Account Management
Institution") with which the relevant Bondholder has opened its account to have the

by or within the Netherlands or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless
such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer shall pay such
additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as shall result in receipt by the Bondholders
and the Couponholders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such
withholding or deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable
with respect to any Bond or Coupon (if issued) held by or on behalf of a Bondholder or a
Couponholder who could lawfully avoid (but has not so avoided) such withholding or
deduction by complying, or procuring that any third party complies, with any statutory

If an Event of Default with respect to the Bonds shall occur and be continuing, the Issuer
shall no later than the following Business Day after it becomes aware thereof notify the

with respect to the Bonds.
All expenses necessary for the procedure under this Condition 9 shall be borne by the
Issuer.
10
Bondholders' Meetings
(1)
The Issuer shall convene a Bondholders' meeting to consider any matters which relate to
the interests of Bondholders in the event: that Bondholders holding at least one tenth (1/10)

bankruptcy, corporate reorganisation or similar proceedings; and
(b)

on matters to be resolved at a Bondholders' meeting (provided each of such
representative(s) must hold one-thousandth (1/1,000) or more of the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds (for the time being outstanding)) (the
"Representative(s) of the Bondholders") or an executor (the "Executor") who may

method shall be deemed to have attended and voted at such meeting.

applicable Japanese law, and shall be carried out by the Representative(s) of the

subsidiaries shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding.

years for the interest on the Bonds.
13
Public Notices
All public notices to the Bondholders shall be valid if published once in the Japanese Official
Gazette (kampo), if possible, and once in a daily Japanese newspaper published in both
Tokyo and Osaka reporting on general affairs (which is expected to be the Nihon Keizai
Shimbun). Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such
publication or, if published more than once or on different dates, on the first date on which
publication is made, as provided above.
Direct notification to individual Bondholders need not be made. Such public notices to be
given by the Issuer shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Issuer, be given by the
Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Issuer.
14
Currency Indemnity
In the event of a judgment or order being rendered or issued by any court for the payment of
the principal of or interest on the Bonds or any other amount payable in respect of the
Bonds, and such judgment or order being expressed in a currency other than Japanese Yen,
any amount received or recovered in such currency by any Bondholder in respect of such
judgment or order shall only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the amount
received or recovered by such Bondholder in Japanese Yen and the Issuer undertakes to
pay to such Bondholder the amount necessary to make up any deficiency arising or
resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which any
amount expressed in Japanese Yen is (or is to be treated as) converted for the purposes of
any such judgment or order, and (ii) the date or dates of discharge of such judgment or
order (or part thereof). To the extent permitted by any applicable law, the above undertaking
shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer from its other
obligations, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action against the Issuer,

or interest on, the Bonds and/or (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal
amount of, or interest on, the Bonds into shares or other securities or other obligations of
the Issuer or another person, which the Dutch Bail-in Power may be exercised by means of
