CROSS-REFERENCE TO SELECTED DEFINITIONS

THIS FISCAL AGENCY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement” or this “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), dated as of March 23, 2015 and effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below), is entered into between TÜRKIYE CUMHURIYETI (THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY) (the “Issuer” or the “Republic”) and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, a national banking association duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as Fiscal Agent.

Section 1. Securities Issuable in Series.

(a) General. The Republic may issue its notes, bonds, debentures and/or other unsecured evidences of indebtedness (the “Securities”) in separate series from time to time (each such series of Securities being hereinafter referred to as a “Series” or the “Securities of a Series”) pursuant to a shelf registration statement relating to the Securities filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Securities constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated public External Indebtedness of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic is pledged. The Securities rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated public External Indebtedness of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make payments under the Securities ratably with payments being made under any other public External Indebtedness. The aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all Series, which may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement and which may be outstanding at any time, is not limited by this Agreement.

(b) Authorization. The Securities of a Series delivered to the Fiscal Agent (as defined in Section 2 hereof) for authentication on original issuance pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall be authorized by the Republic in a certificate (the “Authorization”) executed by an authorized signatory for the Undersecretariat of Treasury, Prime Ministry or such other official of the Republic as may be set forth in the Authorization and shall establish, and subject to Section 3 hereof shall set forth or prescribe the manner for determining:

- 2 -

- 3 -

The Authorization shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent and copies thereof shall be held on file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in the offices of any Paying Agents (as referred to below) for the Securities of the Series to which the Authorization relates.

Securities may be issuable pursuant to warrants (if so provided in the text of such Securities) and the Fiscal Agent may act as warrant agent or in any similar capacity in connection therewith.

(c) Forms of Securities. The Securities of a Series to be issued in registered form without coupons (“registered Securities”) will be issuable in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto or such other form as shall be established pursuant to the Authorization and in the denominations specified in the Authorization. In this Agreement, (i) Securities which are not in temporary form are referred to as “definitive Securities” (unless such securities are in global form, in which case they are referred to as “definitive global Securities”) and Securities which are in temporary form are referred to as “temporary Securities” and (ii) registered Securities which are not in temporary form are referred to as “definitive registered Securities” (unless such Securities are in global form, in which case they are referred to as “definitive registered global Securities”) and registered Securities which are in temporary form are referred to as “temporary registered Securities” (unless such Securities are in global form, in which case they are referred to as “temporary registered global Securities”).

All Securities shall be executed manually or in facsimile on behalf of the Republic by such official or officials of the Republic as shall have been authorized pursuant to the Authorization (the “Authorized Official” or “Authorized Officials”), notwithstanding that such official or officials, or any of them, shall have ceased, for any reason, to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of any such Security. The Securities of a Series may also have such additional provisions, omissions, variations or substitutions as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or of the Authorization, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements not referred to in the Authorization placed thereon as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with the rules of any securities exchange or governmental agency or as may, consistently

- 4 -

herewith, be determined by the Authorized Officials executing such Securities, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. All Securities of a particular Series shall be otherwise substantially identical except as to denomination and as provided herein or in the applicable Authorization.

(d) Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of a Series are prepared, the Republic may (and, if the Authorization so requires, the Republic shall) execute, and there shall be authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof (in lieu of definitive printed Securities of such Series), temporary Securities of such Series. Such temporary Securities may be in global form. Such temporary Securities of a Series shall be subject to the same limitations and conditions and entitled to the same rights and benefits as definitive Securities of such Series, except as provided herein or therein. In the event that interests in temporary global Securities of a Series are to be exchanged for interests in registered Securities, such exchange shall occur as soon as practicable after the closing date. In the event that interests in temporary global Securities of a Series are to be exchanged for interests in registered Securities, such exchange shall occur as soon as practicable after the closing date and delivered only in compliance with United States Treasury Regulation 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D). Upon the surrender for exchange of temporary Securities of a Series, the Republic shall execute and there shall be authenticated and delivered, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 hereof, in exchange for such temporary Securities of a Series, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such Series of like tenor. The Republic shall pay all charges, including (without limitation) stamp, transfer and other similar taxes and governmental charges, incident to any exchange of temporary Securities for definitive Securities. All temporary Securities shall be identified as such and shall describe the right of the holder thereof to effect an exchange for definitive Securities and the manner in which such an exchange may be effected.

(e) U.S. Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 1(e) shall apply only to definitive registered global Securities of a Series deposited with or on behalf of a depositary located in the United States of America (a “U.S. Depositary”), except as may otherwise be provided in the Authorization.

If the Republic shall establish in the Authorization that the registered Securities of a Series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more definitive registered global Securities deposited with or on behalf of a U.S. Depositary, then the Republic shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall, in accordance with this Section 1(e) and the Authorization with respect to such Series, authenticate and deliver one or more definitive registered global Securities that (i) shall be registered in the name of the U.S. Depositary for such global Security or Securities or the nominee of such U.S. Depositary, (ii) shall be delivered by the Fiscal Agent to such U.S. Depositary or pursuant to such U.S. Depositary’s instruction, and (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Authorization, shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

“UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF [INSERT NAME OF U.S. DEPOSITARY], TO THE REPUBLIC’S AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY

- 5 -

CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF [INSERT NAME OF NOMINEE OF U.S. DEPOSITARY] OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF [INSERT NAME OF U.S. DEPOSITARY] AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO [INSERT NAME OF NOMINEE OF U.S. DEPOSITARY], ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, [INSERT NAME OF NOMINEE OF U.S. DEPOSITARY], HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

Members of, or participants in, a U.S. Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Fiscal Agency Agreement with respect to any definitive registered global Security held on their behalf by a U.S. Depositary or under the global Security, and such U.S. Depositary may be treated by the Republic, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Republic or the Fiscal Agent as the owner of such definitive registered global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Republic, the Fiscal Agent, or any agent of the Republic or the Fiscal Agent, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a U.S. Depositary or impair, as between a U.S. Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

(f) Legends. Securities of a Series shall be stamped or otherwise be imprinted with such legends, if any, as are provided in the applicable Authorization or pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof. Any legends so provided may be removed as provided in the Authorization or pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof.

Section 2. Fiscal Agent; Other Agents.

The Republic hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, having a corporate trust office at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 7 East, New York, New York 10286, as fiscal agent of the Republic in respect of the Securities upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and The Bank of New York Mellon hereby accepts such appointment. The Bank of New York Mellon, and any successor or successors as such Fiscal Agent qualified and appointed in accordance with Section 9 hereof, are herein called the “Fiscal Agent”. The Fiscal Agent shall have the power and authority granted to and conferred upon it in the Securities and hereby and such further powers and authority to act on behalf of the Republic as may be mutually agreed upon by the Republic and the Fiscal Agent. All of the terms and provisions with respect to such powers and authority contained in the Securities are subject to and governed by the terms and provisions hereof.

The Republic hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, having a corporate trust office at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 7 East, New York, New York 10286, as Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and The Bank of New York Mellon hereby accepts such appointment.

The Republic may, at its discretion, appoint one or more agents (a “Paying Agent” or “Paying Agents”) in addition to, or to replace The Bank of New York Mellon as Paying Agent, for the payment (subject to applicable laws and regulations) of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on the Securities of a Series, and one or more agents (a

- 6 -

“Transfer Agent” or “Transfer Agents”) in addition to, or to replace The Bank of New York Mellon as Transfer Agent, for the transfer and exchange of Securities of a Series, at such place or places as the Republic may determine; provided, however, that for so long as any Securities of such Series are listed on any stock exchange located outside the United States of America and such exchange shall so require, the Republic shall maintain a Paying Agent in any required city located outside the United States of America; provided, further, that, in the event Securities are issued in registered form, the Republic shall maintain a Paying Agent in a location designated for such Series. The Republic shall promptly notify the Fiscal Agent of the name and address of each Paying Agent and Transfer Agent appointed by it and of the country or countries in which a Paying Agent or Transfer Agent may act in that capacity, and will notify the Fiscal Agent of the resignation or termination of any Paying Agent or Transfer Agent. Subject to the provisions of Section 9(c) hereof, the Republic may vary or terminate the appointment of any such Paying Agent or Transfer Agent at any time and from time to time upon giving not less than ninety days’ notice to such Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, as the case may be, and to the Fiscal Agent.

In respect of the Securities of a Series, the Republic shall cause notice of any resignation, termination or appointment of any Paying Agent or Transfer Agent or of the Fiscal Agent and of any change in the office through which any such agent will act to be given as provided in the text of the Securities of such Series.

Section 3. Authentication.

The Fiscal Agent is authorized, upon receipt of Securities of a Series duly executed on behalf of the Republic for the purposes of the original issuance of Securities of such Series, (i) to authenticate the said Securities in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of the aggregate principal amount specified in the text of the Securities of such Series in accordance with the Authorization and to deliver the said Securities in accordance with the written order or orders of the Republic signed on its behalf by any person authorized by or pursuant to the Authorization and (ii) thereafter to authenticate and deliver Securities of such Series in accordance with the provisions therein or hereinafter set forth.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a Series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Authorization otherwise required pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof or the order or orders otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such Series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such Series to be issued.

No security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication executed by the Fiscal Agent or any authenticating agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

The Fiscal Agent may, with the written consent of the Republic, appoint by an instrument or instruments in writing one or more agents (which may include itself) for the

- 7 -

authentication of Securities of a Series and, with such consent, vary or terminate any such appointment upon written notice and approve any change in the office through which any authenticating agent acts. The Republic (by written notice to the Fiscal Agent and the authenticating agent whose appointment is to be terminated) may also terminate any such appointment at any time. The Fiscal Agent hereby agrees to solicit written acceptances from the entities concerned (in form and substance satisfactory to the Republic) of such appointments. In its acceptance of such appointment, each such authenticating agent shall agree to act as an authenticating agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 4. Payment and Cancellation.

(a) Payment. Subject to the following provisions, the Republic shall provide to the Fiscal Agent in funds available on or prior to the opening of business in each place of payment on each date on which a payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or any interest on the Securities of a Series shall become due, as set forth in the text of the Securities of such Series, such amount, in such coin or currency, as is necessary to make such payment, and the Republic hereby authorizes and directs the Fiscal Agent from funds so provided to it to make or cause to be made payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest, as the case may be, on the Securities of such Series as set forth herein and in the text of said Securities. The Fiscal Agent shall arrange directly with any Paying Agent who may have been appointed by the Republic pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof for the payment from funds so paid by the Republic of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on the Securities of such Series as set forth herein and in the text of said Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the applicable Authorization expressly so provides, the Republic may provide directly to a Paying Agent funds for the payment of the principal thereof and premium and interest, if any, payable thereon under an agreement with respect to such funds containing substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4(a) and in Section 9(b) hereof; and the Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to any funds so provided by the Republic to any such Paying Agent.

Any interest on registered Securities of a Series shall be paid, unless otherwise provided in the text of the Securities of such Series, to the persons (the “registered owners”) in whose names such Securities are registered on the register maintained pursuant to Section 6 hereof at the close of business on the record dates designated in the text of the Securities of such Series. Principal of (and premium, if any, on) registered Securities of a Series shall be payable against surrender thereof at the corporate trust offices of the Fiscal Agent or such other office as designated by the Fiscal Agent and at the offices of such other Paying Agents as the Republic shall have appointed pursuant to Section 2 hereof. Payments of principal (and premium, if any) and any interest shall be made against surrender of registered Securities of such Series; provided, however, that, if so provided in the text of the Securities of such Series, payments of principal (and premium, if any) and any interest on registered Securities of such Series shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on or before the due date for such payment to the person entitled thereto at such person’s address appearing on the register of the Securities of such Series maintained pursuant to Section 6 hereof, or, in the case of payments of principal (and premium, if any), to such other address as the registered owner shall provide in writing at the time of such surrender; provided, further, that, if provided in the Authorization relating to the Securities of such Series, such payments may be

- 8 -

made, in the case of a registered owner of greater than the aggregate principal amount of Securities of such Series specified in the Authorization, by transfer of same-day funds to an account denominated in the currency in which such payments are to be made maintained by the payee with a bank as specified in the Authorization if such registered owner so elects by giving notice to the Fiscal Agent, not less than 15 days (or such fewer days as the Fiscal Agent may accept at its discretion) prior to the date of the payments to be obtained, of such election and of the account to which payment is to be made.

If the Fiscal Agent pays out any amount due under the terms of the Securities on or after the due date thereof on the assumption that the corresponding payment for such amount has been or will be made by the Republic and such payment has in fact not been so made by the Republic prior to the time the Fiscal Agent makes such payment, then the Republic shall on demand reimburse the Fiscal Agent for the relevant amount, and pay interest to the Fiscal Agent on such amount from the date on which such amount is paid out to the date of reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the cost (to the Fiscal Agent) of funding the amount paid out, as certified by the Fiscal Agent and expressed as a rate per annum.

Interest on Securities of a Series in which the rate of interest is a fixed rate will be computed on a basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months unless otherwise provided in the Authorization relating to Securities of such Series.

(b) Withholding; Payment of Additional Amounts. In respect of the Securities of each Series issued hereunder, at least 10 days prior to the first date of payment of interest (which, for purposes of this subsection (b), shall include accrued original issue discount) on the Securities of such Series and at least 10 days prior to each date, if any, of payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest thereafter if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned certificate, the Republic will furnish the Fiscal Agent and each other Paying Agent with a certificate of an Authorized Official instructing the Fiscal Agent and each other Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest on such Securities shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge. If any such deduction or withholding shall be required, then such certificate shall specify, by country, the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payment to holders of such Securities, and the Republic will pay or cause to be paid to the Fiscal Agent (or, if applicable, directly to a Paying Agent or Agents) additional amounts, if any, required by the terms of such Securities to be paid. the Republic agrees to indemnify the Fiscal Agent and each other Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by them in reliance on any certificate furnished pursuant hereto.

(c) Cancellation. All Securities delivered to the Fiscal Agent (or any other Agent appointed by the Republic pursuant to Section 2 hereof) for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment as herein or in the Securities provided shall be forwarded to the Fiscal Agent by the agent to which they are delivered. All such Securities shall be canceled and destroyed by the Fiscal Agent or such other person as may be jointly designated by the Republic and the Fiscal Agent, which shall thereupon furnish certificates of such destruction to the Republic.

- 9 -

(d) References to Include Additional Amounts. All references in this Agreement to principal, premium and interest in respect of Securities of a Series shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to mean and include all additional amounts, if any, payable in respect thereof as set forth in the text of the Securities of such Series.

Section 5. Exchange of Securities.

(a) General. The Fiscal Agent, or its agent duly authorized by the Fiscal Agent, is hereby authorized from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and of this Section to authenticate and deliver:

provided, however, that any definitive registered book-entry Security deposited with a U.S. Depositary shall be exchangeable only as provided in Section 5(a)(i), Section 5(a)(iii) and Section 5(b) hereof.

(b) Registered Securities. Registered Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication by the Fiscal Agent. Each Security authenticated and delivered upon any transfer or exchange for or in lieu of the whole or any part of any Security shall carry all the rights, if any, to interest accrued and unpaid and to accrue which were carried by the whole or such part of such Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, such new registered Security shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer or exchange.

(c) Definitive Registered Global Securities. This Section 5(c) shall apply only to definitive registered global Securities deposited with a U.S. Depositary pursuant to Section 1(e), unless otherwise provided in the Authorization.

- 10 -

A definitive registered global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive registered Securities of such Series if (x) the U.S. Depositary with respect to such definitive registered book-entry Security notifies the Republic that it is unwilling or unable to continue as U.S. Depositary for all global Securities or if at any time such U.S. Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (y) the Republic delivers to the Fiscal Agent a written notice executed by Authorized Officials that all definitive registered global Securities shall be exchangeable or (z) an event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for certificated Securities issuable in denominations of $1,000 or such other denominations in multiples of $1,000 as may be specified in such Security and integral multiples thereof and registered in such names as the U.S. Depositary holding such Security shall direct.

Unless the definitive registered global Security is presented by an authorized representative of the U.S. Depositary to the Republic or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of a nominee of the U.S. Depositary and any payment is made to such nominee, any transfer, pledge or other use of the definitive registered global Security for value or otherwise shall be wrongful since the registered owner of the definitive registered global Security, the nominee of the U.S. Depositary, has an interest in the definitive registered global Security.

If the beneficial owners of interests in a definitive registered global Security are entitled to exchange interests for definitive registered Securities of such Series of another authorized form, as provided in the second preceding paragraph, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged the Republic shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent definitive registered Securities in aggregate principal or face amount equal to the principal or face amount of such definitive registered global Security executed by the Republic. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such definitive registered global Security shall be surrendered by the U.S. Depositary to the Fiscal Agent, as the Republic’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive registered Securities without charge and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such definitive registered global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive registered Securities of the same Series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such definitive registered global Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of such Series and like tenor to be redeemed and ending on the relevant date of redemption. Any definitive registered book-entry Security that is exchangeable pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be exchangeable for definitive registered Securities issuable in the denominations specified in the Authorization and registered in such names as the U.S. Depositary that is the holder of such definitive registered book-entry Security shall direct. If a definitive registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a definitive registered book-entry Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any record date and before the opening of business at such offices or agency on the relevant interest payment date, interest will not be payable on such interest payment date in respect of such definitive registered Security, but will be payable on such interest payment date only to the person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such definitive registered book-entry Security is payable.

- 11 -

The U.S. Depositary may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under this Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Securities.

Section 6. Register.

The Republic hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, having a corporate trust office at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 7 East, New York, New York 10286, as Registrar, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and The Bank of New York Mellon hereby accepts such appointment.

The Fiscal Agent, as agent of the Republic for the purpose, shall maintain at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or such other office as designated by the Fiscal Agent, a register for each Series of Securities issued in whole or in part in registered form for the registration and registration of transfers of Securities of such Series. Upon presentation for the purpose at the said office of the Fiscal Agent of any registered Security of such Series, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form approved by the Republic and the Fiscal Agent (it being understood that, until notice to the contrary is given to holders of Securities of a Series, the Republic and the Fiscal Agent shall each be deemed to have approved the form of instrument of transfer, if any, printed on any definitive registered Security of such Series), executed by the registered holder, in person or by such holder’s attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, such Security shall be transferred upon the register for the Securities of such Series, and a new registered Security of such Series and of like tenor shall be authenticated and issued in the name of the transferee; provided, however, that registered Securities may be delivered for the purpose of registration of transfer by mail at the risk and expense of the transferor. Transfers and exchanges of Securities of a Series shall be subject to such restrictions as shall be set forth in the text of the Securities of such Series and such reasonable regulations as may be prescribed by the Republic. Successive registrations and registrations of transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Security register. No service charge shall be made for any registration, registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities of a Series unless otherwise provided by the provisions of the Securities of such Series, but, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the exchange of temporary securities for definitive securities, the Fiscal Agent (and any Transfer Agent or authenticating agent appointed pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, respectively) may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or governmental charge in connection therewith and any other amounts required to be paid by the provisions of the Securities of such Series.

Any Transfer Agent appointed pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall provide to the Fiscal Agent such information as the Fiscal Agent may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Transfer Agent of Securities in exchange for other Securities.

Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any Transfer Agent shall be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Securities of a Series during any periods set forth in the text of the Securities of such Series.

- 12 -

Section 7. Sinking Fund and Optional Redemption.

The Republic hereby authorizes and directs the Fiscal Agent to administer the sinking fund with respect to the Securities of any Series having a mandatory sinking fund or similar provision in accordance with the provisions set forth in the text of the Securities of such Series. In the event that the provisions of the Securities of a Series permit the Republic to redeem Securities of such Series at its option, the Republic shall, unless otherwise provided in the text of the Securities of such Series, give written notice to the Fiscal Agent of the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be so redeemed not less than 60 days prior to the optional redemption date. All notices of redemption of the Securities of a Series shall be made in the name and at the expense of the Republic and shall be given in accordance with the provisions applicable thereto set forth in the Authorization relating to or the text of the Securities of such Series. In the event that the provisions set forth in the Authorization or in the text of the Securities of a Series permit the Republic to redeem Securities of such Series only upon the occurrence or satisfaction of a condition or conditions precedent thereto, prior to the giving of notice or redemption of the Securities of such Series, the Republic shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a certificate of an Authorized Official stating that the Republic is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that such condition or conditions precedent have occurred or been satisfied. In the event that the provisions of the Securities of a Series permit the holders thereof, at their option, to cause the Republic to redeem such Securities, the Republic shall, as contemplated by Section 4 hereof, arrange with the Fiscal Agent (and each Paying Agent for the purpose, if applicable) for the provision of funds sufficient to make payments to such holders in respect of such redemptions, and the Fiscal Agent shall provide to the Republic from time to time reasonably detailed information as to such redemptions.

Whenever less than all the Securities of a Series at any time outstanding are to be redeemed at the option of the Republic, the particular Securities of such Series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Fiscal Agent from the Securities of such Series outstanding at such time and not previously called for redemption, by such usual method as the Fiscal Agent shall deem fair and appropriate, which method may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount of registered Securities of such Series the minimum denominations of which, if any, will be specified in the text of the Securities of such Series. Upon any partial redemption of a registered Security of a Series, the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more registered Securities of such Series, of any authorized denomination and like tenor as requested by the holder thereof, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of such Security.

Section 8. Conditions of Fiscal Agent’s Obligations.

The Fiscal Agent accepts its obligations herein set forth upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Republic agrees and to all of which the rights of holders from time to time of Securities are subject:

(a) Compensation and Indemnity. The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation as agreed with the Republic for all services rendered by it, and the

[Form of Reverse of Security]

1. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer consisting of [            ] principal amount of [Title of Securities] (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in accordance with a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2015 (herein called the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) and effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in the Fiscal Agency Agreement), between the Republic and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Fiscal Agent (herein called the “Fiscal Agent”, which term includes any successor fiscal agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement), copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York [and, so long as the Securities are listed on any stock exchange outside the United States of America and such exchange shall so require, at the office of any required city outside the United States of America]. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [, limited in aggregate principal amount to $[        ]].

The Securities constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated public External Indebtedness of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic is pledged.

2. The Securities are issuable in fully registered form. Securities are issuable in [the] authorized denomination[s] of $[        ] [and [any integral multiple thereof] [integral multiples of $[        ] above that amount]].

3. [IF THE SECURITY IS A BOOK-ENTRY SECURITY, INSERT — Except as set forth in this paragraph 3, the Securities are issuable only as fully registered global Securities, without coupons, each registered in the name of [            ], a nominee thereof or a successor to [            ], or a nominee thereof, and (i) no book-entry Security may be transferred, except in whole and not in part, and only to [            ], one or more nominees of [            ] or one or more respective successors of [    ] and its nominees, and (ii) no book-entry Security may be exchanged for any Security other than another book-entry Security. Notwithstanding any other provisions

A-6

of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this book-entry Security, a book-entry Security may be exchanged for registered Securities registered in the name of a person other than [            ], a nominee of [            ] or a successor of [            ] or its nominee if [            ] notifies NBH that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such book-entry Security or ceases at any time to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the Republic, in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing that a book-entry Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable, or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the Securities evidenced by this book-entry Security. Registered Securities issued in exchange of this book-entry Security will be registered in such names, and issued in such denominations (of $[        ] and integral multiples thereof), as an authorized representative of [            ] shall request.]

The Republic shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Republic has initially appointed the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent as its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purpose and agrees to cause to be kept at such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Republic will provide for the registration of Securities and registration of transfers of Securities. [In addition, the Republic has appointed the main offices of [            ] in [            ] and [            ] in [            ] as additional agencies (each a “Transfer Agent”) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.] The Republic reserves the right to vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent as security registrar or of any Transfer Agent or to appoint additional or other registrars or Transfer Agents or to approve any change in the office through which any security registrar or of any Transfer Agent acts, provided that there will at all times be a security registrar in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York [, and a Transfer Agent in a European city].

The transfer of a Security is registrable on the aforementioned register upon surrender of such Security at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent [or any Transfer Agent] duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Republic and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Security for registration of transfer, the Republic shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the registered holder upon request confirmed in writing, Securities may be exchanged for Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at the [office of any Transfer Agent or at the] corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Republic shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the registered holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of transfer or exchange will be effected upon [any Transfer Agent or] the Fiscal Agent [, as the case may be,] being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Republic may from time to time agree with [the Transfer Agents and] the Fiscal Agent.

A-7

[In the event of a redemption of the Securities in part, the Republic shall not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before, and continuing until, the date notice is given identifying the Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption.]

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Republic, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Republic may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial redemption of a Security not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Republic, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Republic or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Republic nor the Fiscal Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

4. (a) The Republic shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on or prior to the opening of business on [each Interest Payment Date], [any redemption date] and the maturity date of the Securities, in such amounts sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose) to pay the [interest on], [the redemption price of and accrued interest (if the redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date) on,] and the principal of, the Securities due and payable on such [Interest Payment Date], [redemption date] or maturity date, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so paid to it to the payment of such [interest], [redemption price] and principal in accordance with the terms of the Securities. Any monies paid by the Republic to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the principal of [(or premium, if any)] [or interest on] any Securities and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal [(or premium)] [or interest] shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity, upon call for redemption or otherwise) shall then be repaid to the Republic upon its written request, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Republic may have to pay the principal of [(and premium, if any)] [and interest on] this Security as the same shall become due.

(b) In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of [(and premium, if any, on)] [or interest on] any Security [or the date fixed for redemption of any Security] shall be at any place of payment a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, then payment of principal [(and premium)] [or interest] need not be made on such date at such place but may be made on the next succeeding day at such place which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment [or the date fixed for redemption], and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

A-8

5. (a) All payments of principal and interest, if any, made by the Republic in respect of the Securities shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or other charges of whatsoever nature levied or imposed by or on behalf of the Republic or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by tax law. In that event, the Republic shall pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the holders of Securities of such amounts that 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 Securities (a) to a holder (or a third party on behalf of a holder) where such holder is liable for such taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or charges in respect of such Securities by reason of having some connection with the Republic other than the mere holding of the Securities or the receipt of principal and interest in respect of the Securities; (b) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the holder of such Securities would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting such Securities for payment on the last day of such 30-day period or (c) to a holder (or a third party on behalf of a holder) who is able to avoid such taxes, duties, fees, funds, assessments or charges by making a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant taxing authority. For purposes hereof “Relevant Date” means whichever is the later of (a) the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable and (b) if the full amount payable has not been received in The City of New York by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which notice is given to the holders of such Securities that the full amount of those moneys has been received and is available for payment.

Upon not less than 30 days’ notice to holders of the Securities, the Republic shall have the right to require each holder of Securities to present at the office of any Paying Agent five business days prior to each Record Date a certificate in such form as the Republic may from time to time reasonably prescribe in order to comply with applicable law or regulation, to enable the Republic to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to (i) any taxes, assessments or governmental charges which the Republic or the Fiscal Agent may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Securities under any present or future law of the United States of America or any regulation of any taxing authority thereof and (ii) any reporting or other requirements under such laws or regulations. The Republic shall be entitled to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to such deduction, withholding, reporting or requirements on the basis of information contained in such certificate or, if no certificate shall be presented, on the basis of any presumption created by any such law or regulation and shall be entitled to act in accordance with such determination, but shall not be entitled to withhold all or part of any such payment except as required by applicable law.

The Republic shall pay all stamp, documentary and other similar taxes or duties, if any, which may be imposed by the Republic, the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority of or in the foregoing with respect to the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the issuance of this Security.

(b) Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of [(or premium if any, on)] [or interest on,] or in respect of, any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in paragraph 5(a) to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be

A-9

payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such paragraph and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

6. (a) [IF APPLICABLE, INSERT — The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ notice given as hereinafter provided, [IF APPLICABLE, INSERT — (1) on [            ] in any year commencing with the year [            ] and ending with the year [            ] through operation of the sinking fund for this series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, (2)] [at any time [on or after ]], as a whole or in part, at the election of the Republic, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed): If redeemed: [on or before [            ], [    ]% and if redeemed] during the 12-month period beginning [            ] of the years indicated,

and thereafter at a redemption price equal to [            ]% of the principal amount, and (3)] under the circumstances described in the next two succeeding paragraphs at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, together, in the case of each of [(1), (2) and (3)] foregoing, with accrued interest (except if the redemption date is an Interest Payment Date) to the redemption date, but interest installments on registered Securities that are due on or prior to such redemption date will be payable to the holders of such Securities of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to above. [Partial redemptions must be in an amount not less than $[        ] principal amount of Securities.]]²

[(b) As and for a sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities, the Republic will, until all Securities are paid or payment thereof provided for, deposit with the Fiscal Agent, prior to [            ] in each year, commencing in [            ] and ending in ], an amount in cash sufficient to redeem on such [            ] [not less than $[        ] and not more than] $[        ] principal amount of Securities at the redemption price specified above for redemption through operation of the sinking fund. [The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment as specified in this paragraph 6(b) is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.”] The cash amount of any [mandatory] sinking fund payment is subject to reduction as provided below. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities on such [            ] as herein provided. [The right to redeem Securities through optional sinking fund payments shall not be cumulative and to the extent not availed of on any sinking fund redemption date will terminate. The Republic (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities (other than any previously called for redemption) and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities which have been redeemed otherwise than through the application of [mandatory] sinking fund payments, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any [mandatory] sinking fund payment and the amount of such [mandatory] sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly[; provided that the Republic shall have

A-10

surrendered such Securities to the Fiscal Agent not less than 45 days prior to such sinking fund redemption date, together with a certificate of an Authorized Official stating the Republic’s election to use such Securities for such purposes and stating that such Securities were sold or otherwise disposed of by the Republic for a consideration and reacquired by the Republic. In case of the failure of the Republic, at or before the time provided in the preceding sentence, to give such written notice and to surrender such Securities to the Fiscal Agent, the Republic shall not be permitted to make any such reduction of the amount of such [mandatory] sinking fund payment].

[(c) In the case of any partial redemption of Securities, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Fiscal Agent not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Fiscal Agent shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $[        ] or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of [registered] Securities of a denomination larger than $[        ]].

[(d) Notices to redeem Securities shall be given to holders of Securities in writing mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder of Securities, or portions thereof, so to be redeemed, at the address of such holder as it appears in the register hereinabove referred to. Such notice will be given not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. If by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give notice to the holders of Securities in the manner prescribed herein, then such notification in lieu thereof as shall be made by the Republic or by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of and at the instruction of the Republic shall constitute sufficient provision of such notice, if such notification shall, so far as may be practicable approximate the terms and conditions of the mailed notice in lieu of which it is given. Neither the failure to give notice nor any defect in any notice given to any particular holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of any notice with respect to other Securities. Such notice will be deemed to have been given on the date of mailing. Notices to redeem Securities shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the applicable redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Securities to be redeemed [(or partially redeemed)], that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption (unless such date is an Interest Payment Date) will be paid as specified in said notice,³ and that on and after said date interest thereon will cease to accrue [and the basis for such redemption]. [In addition, in the case of a partial redemption, notice to redeem shall specify the Securities called for redemption.]

[(e) If notice of redemption has been given in the manner set forth in clause (d) of this paragraph 6, the Securities so to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the redemption date specified in such notice and upon presentation and surrender of the Securities at the place or places specified in such notice, the securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Republic at the places and in the manner herein specified and at the redemption price herein specified [together with accrued interest (unless the redemption date is an Interest Payment Date) to the redemption date]. From and after the redemption date, if monies for the redemption of Securities called for redemption shall have been made available at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent for redemption on the redemption date, the Securities called for redemption shall cease to bear

A-11

interest, and the only right of the holders of such Securities shall be to receive payment of the redemption price [together with accrued interest (unless the redemption date is an Interest Payment Date) to the redemption date] as aforesaid. If monies for the redemption of the Securities are not made available for payment until after the redemption date, the Securities called for redemption shall not cease to bear interest until such monies have been so made available.]

[(f) Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered with, if the Republic or the Fiscal Agent so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Republic and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Republic shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the registered Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.]

7. In the event any of the following shall occur (each an “Event of Default”):

A-12

then the registered holder of this Security may, at such holder’s option so long as an Event of Default is continuing, declare [IF THE SECURITY IS NOT AN ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY—the principal of the Securities of this Series and interest accrued thereon] [IF THE SECURITY IS AN ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY—an amount of principal of the Securities of this Series determined as hereinafter provided] to be due and payable immediately by written notice to the Republic at the office of the Fiscal Agent by such holder, and unless prior to receipt of such written demand by the Fiscal Agent all such defaults shall have been cured, [IF THE SECURITY IS NOT AN ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY— the principal of the Securities of this Series and interest accrued thereon] [IF THE SECURITY IS AN ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY—such amount] shall become and be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that any notice declaring the Securities of this Series due and payable shall become effective only when the Fiscal Agent has received such notice from holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this Series then Outstanding. [IF THE SECURITY IS AN ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY—The amount referred to in the preceding sentence shall be equal to—INSERT FORMULA FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT.] If any Event of Default shall give rise to a declaration which shall be effective and all Events of Default shall cease to continue following such declaration, then such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this Series then Outstanding in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph [9] below.

[8.] Any mutilated Security will be replaced by the Republic at the expense of the holder upon surrender of such Security to the Fiscal Agent. Securities that become destroyed, stolen or lost shall be replaced by the Republic at the expense of the holder upon delivery to the Fiscal Agent of the Security and evidence of the destruction, loss or theft thereof satisfactory to the Republic and the Fiscal Agent. In the case of a destroyed, lost or stolen Security, an indemnity satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent and the Republic may be required at the expense of the holder of such Security before a replacement security will be issued.

[9.] The Fiscal Agency Agreement sets forth the provisions for the convening of meetings of holders of Securities and actions taken by written consent of the holders of Securities, as well as the provisions for modification of this Security and the Fiscal Agency Agreement itself.

[10.] No reference herein to the Fiscal Agency Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation of the Republic, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of [(and premium, if any, on)] [and interest on] this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

[11.] This Security shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, except with respect to its authorization and execution on behalf of the Republic and any other matters required to be governed by the laws of the Republic, which shall be governed by the laws of the Republic.

A-13

[12.] The Republic hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Security, and to constitute the same and valid obligation of the Republic in accordance with its terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of the Republic.

[13.] The Republic may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of any Security of this series, create and issue additional Securities having terms and conditions the same as the Securities of this series, or the same except for the amount of the first payment of interest, which additional Securities may be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Securities of this series; provided that such additional Securities do not have, for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation (regardless of whether any holders of such Securities are subject to the U.S. federal tax laws), a greater amount of original issue discount than the Securities of this series have as of the date of the issue of such additional Securities.
