OTHER PROVISIONS:

From and including March 17, 1999 to but excluding the Maturity Date, the Notes
will bear interest at a rate calculated pursuant to the formula under Interest
Rate, as further described below.

Interest Rate: The maximum of (a) 0.10% and (b) 33.50% - (3 x 12-month ATHIBOR),
as determined on the second Athens Banking Day preceding an Interest Reset Date.

"12-month ATHIBOR" means the 12 month ATHIBOR rate that appears on the Reporting
Service as of 12:00 noon, Athens time, on each Interest Determination Date (as
defined below). If no such rate appears, the Calculation Agent will request the
principal Athens office of each of five major reference banks in the Athens
interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with
the Company), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for
deposits in Greek Drachmae for the period of the Index Maturity (as defined
below), commencing on the second Athens Banking Day immediately following such
Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Athens interbank market at
approximately 12:00 noon, Athens time, on such Interest Determination Date and
in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than the equivalent of
U.S.$1 million in Greek Drachmae that is representative of a single transaction
in Greek Drachmae in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations
are provided, 12-month ATHIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations.
If fewer than two quotations are provided, 12-month ATHIBOR in respect of that
Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
major banks in Athens, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation
with the Company), at approximately 12:00 noon, Athens time, on such Interest
Determination Date for loans in Greek Drachmae to leading European banks for a
period of twelve months in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less
than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in Greek Drachmae.

"Athens Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in Greek
Drachmae are transacted in the Athens interbank market.

"Interest Determination Date" with respect to any Interest Reset Date means the
second Athens Banking Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date.

Index Currency: Greek Drachmae

Index Maturity: 12 months

Reporting Service: Reuters Page ATHIBOR under the column "1 YEAR" and the row
"Recalculated Rates" (or such other page as may replace that page on that
service for the purpose of displaying such rate).
