FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE; CURRENCY OF PAYMENT The € 1,250,000,000 2.125 per cent. Notes due 2025 (the "Notes", which expression includes any further notes issued pursuant to Condition 12 and forming a single series therewith) of the Republic of Slovenia (the "Republic") are in uncertified and dematerialised registered form in the denomination of €1,000. The Notes are issued pursuant to the Public Finance Act (Zakon o javnih financah, Uradni list Republike Slovenije No. 11/2011 – uradno prečiščeno besedilo,, 110/2011, 14/2013 – corrigendum and 101/2013) and in accordance with the provisions of the Dematerialised Securities Act (Zakon o nematerializiranih vrednostnih papirjih, Uradni list RS No 2/2007 – uradno prečiščeno besedilo, 67/2007, 58/2009 and 78/2011, hereinafter: the "ZNVP") as entries in the central register (the "Central Register") maintained by KDD d.d., Tivolska cesta 48, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia ("KDD"). No global or definitive Notes or interest coupons will be issued in respect of the Notes in any circumstances. The Notes are freely transferable in accordance with the provisions of the ZNVP, other applicable Slovenian legislation and the rules and regulations applicable to, and/or issued by, KDD. Title to the Notes will pass by registration in the Central Register. Each person that is for the time being recorded in the Central Register as the legal holder of a particular number of the Notes (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by KDD as to the number of Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Republic as the holder of such number of Notes (and the expressions "Noteholder" and the "holder of Notes" and related expressions shall be construed accordingly). No person other than the Republic and the respective Noteholder shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of any Note. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the right to receive payments in respect of a Note may be enforced by the Beneficiary (as defined in Condition 5.1(iv)) of such payments or by an Accountholder (as defined in Condition 5.3). "€" or "euro" means the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary union, and as defined in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro, as amended. 2. STATUS The Notes constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic and will at all times rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves. The full faith and credit of the Republic is pledged for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes and the performance of the Republic's obligations under the Notes. The payment obligations of the Republic under the Notes will at all times rank at least equally with all the other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Republic. 3. INTEREST The Notes bear interest from 28 July 2015 (the "Issue Date") at the rate of 2.125 per cent. per annum, payable in arrear on 28 July in each year commencing on 28 July 2016 (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), subject as provided in Condition 5. Each Note will cease to bear interest from the due date for final redemption. If payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused, the Beneficiary of such payment will be entitled to receive interest at the rate specified above (after as well as before judgment) until whichever is the earlier of (a) the day on which all sums due in respect of such Note up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant Beneficiary or (b) the day which is five business days after the Republic has notified the Beneficiaries that all sums due in respect of such principal and interest will be paid subject only to the receipt by the Republic of a notice specifying the details of the euro account of the relevant Beneficiary in accordance with Condition 5.2 (except to the extent that there is any subsequent default in payment). The amount of interest due in respect of any Notes will be calculated by reference to the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by the relevant holder and the amount of such payment shall be rounded down to the nearest €0.01. Where interest is to be calculated in respect of a period which is shorter than an Interest Period, it will be calculated on the basis of the number of days in the relevant period, from and including the first day of such period to but excluding the last day of such period, divided by the number of days in the Interest Period in which the relevant period falls. As used herein: (i) "business day" means any day which is a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET2) payment system which utilises a single shared platform and which was launched on 19 November 2007 is open for the settlement of payments in euro; and (ii) "Interest Period" means the period from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date and each period from and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date. 4. REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE 4.1 Scheduled redemption Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Notes will be redeemed at their principal amount, which is equal to their nominal amount, on 28 July 2025, subject as provided in Condition 5. 4.2 Purchase and cancellation The Republic and its Agencies (as defined below) may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise and at any price. Any Notes so purchased may be cancelled or held and resold (provided that such resale is outside the United States, as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Any Notes so cancelled will not be reissued. In this Condition 4.2, "Agency" means any political sub-division, regional government, ministry, department, authority or statutory corporation of the Republic or the government thereof (whether or not such statutory corporation is autonomous) and "Agencies" shall be construed accordingly. 5. PAYMENTS 5.1 Principal and interest Payments of principal and interest will be made in euro by transfer to the euro accounts of the Beneficiaries (as defined below) of such payments. Each payment so made will discharge the Republic's obligation in respect thereof. In this Condition 5: (i) "euro account" means, in relation to a person, an account nominated by or on behalf of such person pursuant to Condition 5.2 and into which euro payments in respect of the Notes may be credited or transferred. (ii) "KDD Business Day" means any day which is a day on which KDD is open for business (iii) "Relevant Time" means, in relation to any amount payable in respect of a Note, the end of the third KDD Business Day (as defined below) prior to the due date for such amount; and (iv) "Beneficiary" means, in relation to any amount payable in respect of a Note, the person registered at the Relevant Time (as defined below) in the Central Register as the person entitled to receive such amount. 5.2 Notification of euro account Each Noteholder or Beneficiary shall nominate its euro account by notifying details in respect thereof to the Republic either (a) in the manner notified to the Noteholder or Beneficiary by Uprava Republike Slovenije za javna plačila ("UJP") following a request from such Noteholder or Beneficiary to UJP in accordance with Condition 13 or (b) in such other manner as may from time to time be specified in a notice given by or on behalf of the Republic in accordance with Condition 13. If a Beneficiary of any amount payable in respect of a Note fails to nominate its euro account in accordance with the foregoing before the third KDD Business Day prior to the due date for payment of such amount, such Beneficiary shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the fifth business day after details of its euro account have been properly nominated in accordance with the foregoing, and the relevant Beneficiary shall not be entitled to any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay. 5.3 Assignment of Clearing Systems' rights In the case of an Event of Default as described in Condition 7.1, any right to receive payment in respect of a Note held at the Relevant Time by Clearstream Banking, société anonyme or Euroclear Bank SA/NV (each a "Clearing System", and together the "Clearing Systems") or by any other person on behalf of a Clearing System (each such person a "Fiduciary") shall be deemed assigned on the due date for such payment to the person recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing System as the holder of such Note at the Relevant Time (the "Accountholder") (in which regard a statement of accounts issued by the relevant Clearing System and, where applicable, its Fiduciary as to the principal amount of Notes standing to the account of any person shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding evidence of a right to receive such payment) and such Accountholder shall be entitled to enforce the obligation of the Republic to make such payment (including any further interest due in accordance with Condition 3) to the euro account of the Beneficiary of such payment (being the relevant Clearing System or, where applicable, its Fiduciary). 5.4 Payments subject to fiscal laws All payments in respect of the Notes are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 6. No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the Noteholders or Beneficiaries in respect of such payments. 5.5 Payments on business days If the due date for payment of any amount in respect of any Note is not a business day, the Beneficiary shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding business day and shall not be entitled to any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay. 5.6 Paying agent The Republic reserves the right at any time to appoint or terminate the appointment of a paying agent who acts solely as an agent of the Republic and does not assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the Noteholders or Beneficiaries. 6. TAXATION All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes by the Republic shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the Republic or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (a "Tax"), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Republic shall pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the Beneficiaries of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable: (i) in respect of any amount payable in respect of a Note received by or on behalf of a person who is subject to such Tax in respect of such payment by reason of his being connected with the Republic (or any political subdivision thereof) otherwise than merely by holding such Note or receiving principal or interest in respect thereof; or (ii) in respect of any amount payable in respect of a Note received by or on behalf of a person who would not be liable for or subject to such withholding or deduction by making a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the Republic or relevant tax authority if, after having been requested to make such a declaration or claim, such person fails to do so; or (iii) in respect of any amount payable in respect of a Note received more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the recipient thereof would have been entitled to such additional payment on the last day of such 30 day period; or (iv) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to or for an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC (as amended from time to time) or any other European Union Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26 - 27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income (the "Directive"), or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, the Directive. In these Conditions, "Relevant Date" means whichever is the later of (a) the date on which the payment in question first becomes due and (b) if the payment in question is improperly withheld or refused, the day on which the Republic has notified the relevant Beneficiary that the amount in question will be paid subject only to the receipt by the Republic of a notice specifying the details of its euro account in accordance with Condition 5.2 (except to the extent that there is any subsequent default in payment). Any reference in these Conditions to principal or interest in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include any additional amounts in respect of principal or interest (as the case may be) which may be payable under this Condition 6. 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT If any of the following events (each an "Event of Default") occurs and is continuing: 7.1 Non-payment The Republic fails to pay any amount of principal or interest in respect of the Notes within 30 days of the due date for payment thereof; or 7.2 Breach of other obligations The Republic does not perform or comply with any one or more of its other obligations under the Notes, which default is incapable of remedy or, if capable of remedy, is not remedied within 45 days after notice of such default has been given to the Republic by Noteholders holding not less than 25 per cent. in aggregate of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes; then Noteholders holding not less than 25 per cent. in aggregate of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by a written notice to the Republic in accordance with Condition 13, declare the Notes due and payable, in each case at their principal amount together with accrued interest, without further formality. Upon such declaration the Republic shall give notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13. If the Republic receives notice in writing from Noteholders of at least 50 per cent. in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes to the effect that the Event of Default or Events of Default giving rise to any above mentioned declaration of acceleration is or are cured following any such declaration and that such holders wish the relevant declaration to be withdrawn, the Republic shall give notice thereof to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13, whereupon the relevant declaration shall be withdrawn and shall have no further effect but without prejudice to any rights or obligations which may have arisen before such notice is given (whether pursuant to these Conditions or otherwise). No such withdrawal shall affect any other declaration or any subsequent Event of Default or any right of any Noteholder in relation thereto. 8. PRESCRIPTION Claims for principal shall become void unless claimed for payment within five years of the appropriate Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 6). Claims for interest shall become void unless claimed for payment within three years of the appropriate Relevant Date. 9.

These Conditions may be modified in relation to a reserved matter with the consent of the Republic and: (a) the affirmative vote of holders of not less than 75 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented at a duly called meeting of Noteholders; or (b) a written resolution signed by or on behalf of holders of not less than 66⅔ per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 9.2.2 Cross-Series Modification.

A separate meeting will be called and held, or a separate written resolution signed, in relation to the proposed modification of the Notes and the proposed modification of each other affected series of debt securities. 9.2.3 Proposed Cross-Series Modification. A proposed cross-series modification may include one or more proposed alternative modifications of the terms and conditions of each affected series of debt securities or of any agreement governing the issuance or administration of any affected series of debt securities, provided that all such proposed alternative modifications are addressed to and may be accepted by any holder of any debt security of any affected series. 9.2.4 Partial Cross-Series Modification. If a proposed cross-series modification is not approved in relation to a reserved matter in accordance with Condition 9.2.2 but would have been so approved if the proposed modification had involved only the Notes and one or more, but less than all, of the other series of debt securities affected by the proposed modification, that cross-series modification will be deemed to have been approved, notwithstanding Condition 9.2.2, in relation to the Notes and debt securities of each other series whose modification would have been approved in accordance with Condition 9.2.2 if the proposed modification had involved only the Notes and debt securities of such other series, provided that: (a) prior to the record date for the proposed cross-series modification, the Republic has publicly notified holders of the Notes and other affected debt securities of the conditions under which the proposed cross-series modification will be deemed to have been approved if it is approved in the manner described above in relation to the Notes and some but not all of the other affected series of debt securities; and (b) those conditions are satisfied in connection with the proposed cross-series modification. 9.2.5 Non-Reserved Matter Modification. These Conditions may be modified in relation to any matter other than a reserved matter with the consent of the Republic and: (a) the affirmative vote of holders of more than 50 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented at a duly called meeting of Noteholders; or (b) a written resolution signed by or on behalf of holders of more than 50 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. 9.2.6 Multiple Currencies, Index-Linked Obligations and Zero-Coupon Obligations. In determining whether a proposed modification has been approved by the holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes and debt securities of one or more other series: (a) if the modification involves debt securities denominated in more than one currency, the principal amount of each affected debt security will be equal to the amount of euro that could have been obtained on the record date for the proposed modification with the principal amount of that debt security, using the applicable euro foreign exchange reference rate for the record date published by the European Central Bank; (b) if the modification involves an index-linked obligation, the principal amount of each such index-linked obligation will be equal to its adjusted nominal amount; (c) if the modification involves a zero-coupon obligation that did not formerly constitute a component part of an index-linked obligation, the principal amount of each such zero-coupon obligation will be equal to its nominal amount or, if its stated maturity date has not yet occurred, to the present value of its nominal amount; (d) if the modification involves a zero-coupon obligation that formerly constituted a component part of an index-linked obligation, the principal amount of each such zero-coupon obligation that formerly constituted the right to receive: (i) a non-index-linked payment of principal or interest will be equal to its nominal amount or, if the stated maturity date of the non-index-linked payment has not yet occurred, to the present value of its nominal amount; and (ii) an index-linked payment of principal or interest will be equal to its adjusted nominal amount or, if the stated maturity date of the index-linked payment has not yet occurred, to the present value of its adjusted nominal amount; and (e) for purposes of this Condition 9.2.6: (i) the adjusted nominal amount of any index-linked obligation and any component part of an index-linked obligation is the amount of the payment that would be due on the stated maturity date of that index-linked obligation or component part if its stated maturity date was the record date for the proposed modification, based on the value of the related index on the record date published by or on behalf of the Republic or, if there is no such published value, on the interpolated value of the related index on the record date determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the index-linked obligation, but in no event will the adjusted nominal amount of such index-linked obligation or component part be less than its nominal amount unless the terms and conditions of the index-linked obligation provide that the amount of the payment made on such index-linked obligation or component part may be less than its nominal amount; and (ii) the present value of a zero-coupon obligation is determined by discounting the nominal amount (or, if applicable, the adjusted nominal amount) of that zero-coupon obligation from its stated maturity date to the record date at the specified discount rate using the applicable market day-count convention, where the specified discount rate is: (x) if the zero-coupon obligation was not formerly a component part of a debt security that expressly provided for the accrual of interest, the yield to maturity of that zero-coupon obligation at issuance or, if more than one tranche of that zero-coupon obligation has been issued, the yield to maturity of that zero coupon obligation at the arithmetic average of all the issue prices of all the zero-coupon obligations of that series of zero-coupon obligations weighted by their nominal amounts; and (y) if the zero-coupon obligation was formerly a component part of a debt security that expressly provided for the accrual of interest: (1) the coupon on that debt security if that debt security can be identified; or (2) if such debt security cannot be identified, the arithmetic average of all the coupons on all of the Republic's debt securities (weighted by their principal amounts) referred to below that have the same stated maturity date as the zero coupon obligation to be discounted, or, if there is no such debt security, the coupon interpolated for these purposes on a linear basis using all of the Republic's debt securities (weighted by their principal amounts) referred to below that have the two closest maturity dates to the maturity date of the zero-coupon obligation to be discounted, where the debt securities to be used for this purpose are all of the Republic's index-linked obligations if the zero-coupon obligation to be discounted was formerly a component part of an index- linked obligation and all of the Republic's debt securities (index-linked obligations and zero-coupon obligations excepted) if the zero-coupon obligation to be discounted was not formerly a component part of an index-linked obligation, and in either case are denominated in the same currency as the zero-coupon obligation to be discounted. 9.2.7 Outstanding Notes. In determining whether holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes have voted in favour of a proposed modification or whether a quorum is present at any meeting of Noteholders called to vote on a proposed modification, a Note will be deemed to be not outstanding, and may not be voted for or against a proposed modification or counted in determining whether a quorum is present, if on the record date for the proposed modification: (a) the Note has previously been cancelled or delivered for cancellation or held for reissuance but not reissued; (b) the Note has become due and payable at maturity or otherwise and the Republic has previously satisfied its obligation to make all payments due in respect of the Note in accordance with its terms; or (c) the Note is held by the Republic, by a department, ministry or agency of the Republic, or by a corporation, trust or other legal entity that is controlled by the Republic or a department, ministry or agency of the Republic and, in the case of a Note held by any such above-mentioned corporation, trust or other legal entity, the holder of the Note does not have autonomy of decision, where: (i) the holder of a Note for these purposes is the entity legally entitled to vote the Note for or against a proposed modification or, if different, the entity whose consent or instruction is by contract required, directly or indirectly, for the legally entitled holder to vote the Note for or against a proposed modification; (ii) a corporation, trust or other legal entity is controlled by the Republic or by a department, ministry or agency of the Republic if the Republic or any department, ministry or agency of the Republic has the power, directly or indirectly, through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise, to direct the management of or elect or appoint a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions in lieu of, or in addition to, the board of directors of that legal entity; and (iii) the holder of a Note has autonomy of decision if, under applicable law, rules or regulations and independent of any direct or indirect obligation the holder may have in relation to the Republic: (x) the holder may not, directly or indirectly, take instruction from the Republic on how to vote on a proposed modification; or (y) the holder, in determining how to vote on a proposed modification, is required to act in accordance with an objective prudential standard, in the interest of all of its stakeholders or in the holder's own interest; or (z) the holder owes a fiduciary or similar duty to vote on a proposed modification in the interest of one or more persons other than a person whose holdings of Notes (if that person then held any Notes) would be deemed to be not outstanding under this Condition 9.2.7. 9.2.8 Outstanding Debt Securities. In determining whether holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding debt securities of another series have voted in favor of a proposed cross-series modification or whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the holders of such debt securities called to vote on a proposed cross-series modification, an affected debt security will be deemed to be not outstanding, and may not be voted for or against a proposed cross-series modification or counted in determining whether a quorum is present, in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of that debt security. 9.2.9 Entities Having Autonomy of Decision. For transparency purposes, the Republic will publish promptly following the Republic's formal announcement of any proposed modification of the Notes, but in no event less than 10 days prior to the record date for the proposed modification, a list identifying each corporation, trust or other legal entity that for purposes of Condition 9.2.7(c): (a) is then controlled by the Republic or by a department, ministry or agency of the Republic; (b) has in response to an enquiry from the Republic reported to the Republic that it is then the holder of one or more Notes; and (c) does not have autonomy of decision in respect of its Holdings of Notes. 9.2.10 Exchange and Conversion. Any duly approved modification of these Conditions may be implemented by means of a mandatory exchange or conversion of the Notes for new debt securities containing the modified terms and conditions in accordance with Condition 11. Any conversion or exchange undertaken to implement a duly approved modification will be binding on all Noteholders. 9.3 Calculation Agent 9.3.1 Appointment and Responsibility. The Republic will appoint a person (the 'calculation agent') to calculate whether a proposed modification has been approved by the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes and, in the case of a cross-series modification, by the requisite principal amount of outstanding debt securities of each affected series of debt securities. In the case of a cross-series modification, the same person will be appointed as the calculation agent for the proposed modification of the Notes and each other affected series of debt securities. 9.3.2 Certificate. The Republic will provide to the calculation agent and publish prior to the date of any meeting called to vote on a proposed modification or the date fixed by the Republic for the signing of a written resolution in relation to a proposed modification, a certificate: (a) listing the total principal amount of Notes and, in the case of a cross-series modification, debt securities of each other affected series outstanding on the record date for purposes of Condition 9.2.7; (b) specifying the total principal amount of Notes and, in the case of a cross-series modification, debt securities of each other affected series that are deemed under Condition 9.2.7(c) to be not outstanding on the record date; and (c) identifying the holders of the Notes and, in the case of a cross-series modification, debt securities of each other affected series, referred to in (b) above, determined, if applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Condition 9.2.6. 9.3.3 Reliance. The calculation agent may rely on any information contained in the certificate provided by the Republic, and that information will be conclusive and binding on the Republic and the Noteholders unless: (a) an affected Noteholder delivers a substantiated written objection to the Republic in relation to the certificate before the vote on a proposed modification or the signing of a written resolution in relation to a proposed modification; and (b) that written objection, if sustained, would affect the outcome of the vote taken or the written resolution signed in relation to the proposed modification. In the event a substantiated written objection is timely delivered, any information relied on by the calculation agent will nonetheless be conclusive and binding on the Republic and affected Noteholders if: (x) the objection is subsequently withdrawn; (y) the Noteholder that delivered the objection does not commence legal action in respect of the objection before a court of competent jurisdiction within 15 days of the publication of the results of the vote taken or the written resolution signed in relation to the proposed modification; or (z) a court of competent jurisdiction subsequently rules either that the objection is not substantiated or would not in any event have affected the outcome of the vote taken or the written resolution signed in relation to the proposed modification. 9.3.4 Publication. The Republic will arrange for the publication of the results of the calculations made by the calculation agent in relation to a proposed modification promptly following the meeting called to consider that modification or, if applicable, the date fixed by the Republic for signing a written resolution in respect of that modification. 9.4 Noteholder Meetings; Written Resolutions 9.4.1 General. The provisions set out below, and any additional rules adopted and published by the Republic will, to the extent consistent with the provisions set out below, apply to any meeting of Noteholders called to vote on a proposed modification and to any written resolution adopted in connection with a proposed modification. Any action contemplated in this Condition 9.4 to be taken by the Republic may instead be taken by an agent acting on behalf of the Republic. 9.4.2 Convening Meetings. A meeting of Noteholders: (a) may be convened by the Republic at any time; and (b) will be convened by the Republic if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and a meeting is requested in writing by the holders of not less than 10 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 9.4.3 Notice of Meetings. The notice convening a meeting of Noteholders will be published by the Republic at least 21 days prior to the date of the meeting or, in the case of an adjourned meeting, at least 14 days prior to the date of the adjourned meeting.

The chair of any meeting of Noteholders will be appointed: (a) by the Republic; or (b) if the Republic fails to appoint a chair or the person nominated by the Republic is not present at the meeting, by holders of more than 50 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding represented at the meeting. 9.4.5 Quorum. No business will be transacted at any meeting in the absence of a quorum other than the choosing of a chair if one has not been appointed by the Republic. The quorum at any meeting at which Noteholders will vote on a proposed modification of: (a) a reserved matter will be one or more persons present and holding not less than 66⅔ per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; and (b) a matter other than a reserved matter will be one or more persons present and holding not less than 50 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 9.4.6 Adjourned Meetings. If a quorum is not present within thirty minutes of the time appointed for a meeting, the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not more than 42 days and not less than 14 days as determined by the chair of the meeting. The quorum for any adjourned meeting will be one or more persons present and holding: (a) not less than 66⅔ per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a proposed reserved-matter modification; and (b) not less than 25 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a non-reserved matter modification. 9.4.7 Written Resolutions. A written resolution signed by or on behalf of holders of the requisite majority of the Notes will be valid for all purposes as if it was a resolution passed at a meeting of Noteholders duly convened and held in accordance with these provisions. A written resolution may be set out in one or more documents in like form each signed by or on behalf of one or more Noteholders. 9.4.8 Entitlement to Vote. Any person who is a holder of an outstanding Note on the record date for a proposed modification, and any person duly appointed as a proxy by a holder of an outstanding Note on the record date for a proposed modification, will be entitled to vote on the proposed modification at a meeting of Noteholders and to sign a written resolution with respect to the proposed modification. 9.4.9 Voting. Every proposed modification will be submitted to a vote of the holders of outstanding Notes represented at a duly called meeting or to a vote of the holders of all outstanding Notes by means of a written resolution without need for a meeting. A holder may cast votes on each proposed modification equal in number to the principal amount of the holder's outstanding Notes. For these purposes: (a) in the case of a cross-series modification involving debt securities denominated in more than one currency, the principal amount of each debt security will be determined in accordance with Condition 9.2.6(a); (b) in the case of a cross-series modification involving an index-linked obligation, the principal amount of each such index-linked obligation will be determined in accordance with Condition 9.2.6(b); (c) in the case of a cross-series modification involving a zero-coupon obligation that did not formerly constitute a component part of an index-linked obligation, the principal amount of each such zero-coupon obligation will be determined in accordance with Condition 9.2.6(c); and (d) in the case of a cross-series modification involving a zero-coupon obligation that did formerly constitute a component part of an index-linked obligation, the principal amount of each such zero-coupon obligation will be determined in accordance with Condition 9.2.6(d). 9.4.10 Proxies. Each holder of an outstanding Note may, by an instrument in writing executed on behalf of the holder and delivered to the Republic not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for a meeting of Noteholders or the signing of a written resolution, appoint any person (a "proxy") to act on the holder's behalf in connection with any meeting of Noteholders at which the holder is entitled to vote or the signing of any written resolution that the holder is entitled to sign. Appointment of a proxy pursuant to any form other than the form enclosed with the notice of the meeting will not be valid for these purposes. The holder of Notes may appoint more than one person as its proxy in respect of the Notes held by it, and such proxies may vote in a manner contrary to one another, provided that the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by such proxies does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes held by such holder. 9.4.11 Legal Effect and Revocation of a Proxy. A proxy duly appointed in accordance with the above provisions will, subject to Condition 9.2.7 and for so long as that appointment remains in force, be deemed to be (and the person who appointed that proxy will be deemed not to be) the holder of the Notes to which that appointment relates, and any vote cast by a proxy will be valid notwithstanding the prior revocation or amendment of the appointment of that proxy unless the Republic has received notice or has otherwise been informed of the revocation or amendment at least 48 hours before the time fixed for the commencement of the meeting at which the proxy intends to cast its vote or, if applicable, the signing of a written resolution. 9.4.12 Binding Effect. A resolution duly passed at a meeting of holders convened and held in accordance with these provisions, and a written resolution duly signed by the requisite majority of Noteholders, will be binding on all Noteholders, whether or not the holder was present at the meeting, voted for or against the resolution or signed the written resolution. 9.4.13 Publication. The Republic will without undue delay publish all duly adopted resolutions and written resolutions. 9.5 Publication 9.5.1 Notices and Other Matters.

The Republic will publish in accordance with Condition 13 the details of any modification of the Notes made pursuant to this Condition 10 within ten days of the modification becoming legally effective. 11. EXCHANGE OF THE NOTES If (a) a modification of any provision of the Notes or these Conditions is approved, including the substitution of any person for the Republic as principal obligor under the Notes; or (b) a modification of the Notes or these Conditions is permitted pursuant to Condition 10, such modification or substitution shall, to the extent required under Slovenian law, be effected by way of deemed redemption of the Notes prior to their scheduled maturity date and by the Republic procuring that, on the Exchange Date (as defined below), Replacement Notes (as defined below) are credited to the account of each Noteholder with KDD in exchange for each Note which had been credited to the account of such Noteholder with KDD at close of business on the KDD Business Day prior to the Exchange Date. It shall be deemed that each Noteholder has consented to the exchange of Notes in accordance with the foregoing and has authorised KDD to debit its securities account maintained with KDD accordingly. In this Condition 11: (i) "Exchange Date" means the date specified by the Republic in a notice given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13 not less than seven days prior to such date; and (ii) "Replacement Notes" means securities differing from the Notes solely in such respects as have been approved by a valid resolution or a written resolution of Noteholders pursuant to Condition 9 or as permitted pursuant to Condition 10. 12. FURTHER ISSUES The Republic may from time to time, without the consent of the Noteholders, create and issue further notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest) so as to be consolidated with and form a single series with the Notes. 13. NOTICES A notice to a Noteholder or a Beneficiary shall be valid if either (at the sole discretion of the Republic) (a) sent by mail to such Noteholder or Beneficiary at the address registered for a Noteholder or Beneficiary in the Central Register or at the address notified by such a person to the Republic in accordance with this Condition 13 and any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the eighth day following the day the notice was sent by mail or (b) published in a leading Slovenian language daily newspaper having general circulation in Slovenia and in a leading English language daily newspaper having general circulation in Europe and, in any event, shall be published in such other manner as may be required by the rules of any regulated market on which the Notes are at such time listed and/or traded. Any such notice given by publication shall be deemed to have been given on the date of publication or, if so published more than once on different dates, on the date of the first publication.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION 14.1 Governing law The Notes and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with these Conditions are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with Slovenian law. 14.2 Jurisdiction The Republic agrees for the benefit of the Noteholders and Beneficiaries that the courts of the Republic of Slovenia shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceedings, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with the Notes (collectively, "Proceedings") and, for such purposes, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. 14.3 Non-exclusivity The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Slovenia shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of any Noteholder or Beneficiary to take Proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by law. 14.4 Consent to enforcement, etc. The Republic consents generally in respect of any Proceedings to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such Proceedings including (without limitation) the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such Proceedings. 14.5 Waiver of immunity To the extent that the Republic may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets or revenues immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise and whether on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) or other legal process and to the extent that such immunity (whether or not claimed) may be attributed in any such jurisdiction to the Republic or its assets or revenues, the Republic agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.
