10 (6) In order to preserve or increase the cover assets’ credit quality, new cover assets can be registered to the cover register or existing assets can be replaced.

Servicer, Cash Manager and Replacement Servicer: ARTICLE 14 – (1) Provided that the liabilities of the issuer within the scope of this Communiqué continue, the duties of managing the cover assets may be delegated to a servicer, and the duties of managing the cash related to the cover assets may be delegated to a cash manager. (2) In the events listed below, the replacement servicer, which will be assigned, without undertaking the total liabilities, to manage the cover assets and to make the payments arising from the total liabilities to the extent that the revenue generated from the cover assets is sufficient, is required to be notified to the Board prior to the sale of CB by the issuer and be disclosed in the prospectus or the issue document: a) The issuer fails to perform its total liabilities on their maturity, b) The total liabilities exceed the total value of the assets, c) The management or supervision of the issuer is transferred to the public institutions, ç) The operation license of the issuer is cancelled, d) The issuer goes bankrupt.

11 PART FOUR Cover Matching Principles Nominal Value Matching: ARTICLE 15 – (1) The nominal value of the cover assets may not be less than the nominal value of the CB. (2) While calculating the nominal value, the balance of the principal amounts of the loans, issuance price of the discounted debt securities, and the nominal value of the premium-debt securities shall be taken into consideration. (3) Derivative instruments shall not be taken into consideration in nominal value matching calculations. Cash Flow Matching: ARTICLE 16 – (1) The sum of interest, revenues and similar income that are expected to be generated from cover assets within 1 year following the calculation date, may not be less than the payment obligations expected to arise from total liabilities during the same period. Net Present Value Matching: ARTICLE 17 – (1) In ACB issuance, the net present value of the cover assets is required to be more than the net present value of the total liabilities at a ratio to be determined by the issuer, provided that such ratio is not less than the ratios specified in column numbered II of the chart provided in Annex/4 of this Communiqué, depending on the type of the cover assets. For ACB issuances requiring stress testing within the framework of Article 18 of this Communiqué, the overcollateralization ratios specified in column numbered III of the chart in Annex/4 of this Communiqué have to be met in minimum, depending on the type of cover assets in all stress test scenarios. In the event that different assets are registered in the cover register, the overcollateralization ratio may not be less than the weighted average that is calculated by applying the rates provided in the chart under Annex 4 of this Communiqué with respect to the relevant assets. (2) In MCB issuances, the net present value of the cover assets is required to be more than the net present value of the total liabilities at a ratio to be determined by the issuer at the beginning. Such ratio may not be less than 2%. (3) The net present values of the total liabilities and cover assets shall be determined in compliance with the valuation standards relating to financial instruments within the scope of the Turkish Accounting Standards. (4) Different principles may be brought by the Board regarding the calculation of the net present value. Stress Test: ARTICLE 18 – (1) Sensitivity of the net present value matching to the potential changes in the interest and currency exchange rates shall be measured by the stress test.

12 (2) In ACB issuances, stress test measurements are mandatory if the ACB and cover assets are denominated differently or have different interest types (fixed or floating); while in MCB issuances, the stress test measurements are mandatory in any case. (3) In MCB issuances, the overcollateralization ratios specified in paragraph two of Article 17 have to be met in all stress test scenarios to be carried out within the framework of this article. The collateral surplus consists of substitute assets and shall be registered in the cover register. The part of the substitute assets forming the collateral surplus shall not be taken into account for restriction set forth in paragraph two of Article 19. (4) In stress tests, the expected cash flows from loans and receivables are discounted by using the yield curves obtained from relevant foreign exchange swap rates. In the absence of swap rates compatible with maturity of the loan and the receivable, interest rates are derived from using maturities where interest rates are known for before and after maturity dates. Interest rate of the latest maturity is used for maturities exceeding the latest maturity date where interest rate is known. (5) The expected cash flows are calculated by taking into consideration the estimated early payment rates and early payment fees if there are any. Early payment rates are calculated by using the difference between the interest rate of each loan and receivable, and the market interest rate that matches the maturity of the loan and receivable, as well as early payment statistics in previous periods for similar assets. It is presumed for loans and receivables with floating interest rates, that the interest rate valid at the calculation date will not change through the maturity of the loan and receivable. (6) To measure the impact of the interest rate changes, the yield curves obtained from swap rates are shifted up and down, in parallel. The parallel shifting is made by increasing or decreasing the interest rate valid for each maturity, by 300 basis points for Turkish Liras and 150 basis points for foreign currencies. In case the interest rate obtained from shifting is negative, the interest rate is deemed to be zero. (7) To measure the impact of currency exchange rate changes upon the cash flows in foreign currencies, the foreign exchange buying rate is increased and decreased by 30%, based on the indicative foreign exchange buying rate announced by the Central Bank of Turkey. (8) Values of the substitute assets and derivative instruments, determined in line with the principles set out in paragraph three of Article 17, are used in stress tests. (9) For issuances where stress testing is mandatory, cover assets shall be subject to stress testing at least once a month. Special Provisions Regarding MCB: ARTICLE 19 – (1) Within the scope of MCB issuance: (a) For calculations relating to cover matching principles; (1) The loans and receivables that no longer satisfy the criteria set forth in Article 10,

13 (2) The portion of the loans and receivables, arising from housing finance, exceeding 75% of the mortgage value of the loans and receivables, , (3) The portion of the loans and receivables, that are secured by establishing mortgage at the relevant registry, exceeding 50% of the mortgage value of the commercial loans and receivables, shall not be taken into consideration. The restrictions specified in subparagraphs (2) and (3) shall be reviewed at least once a year according to the changes in the cover value and the latest calculated value of the cover shall be taken into account for calculations. (b) The net present value of the assets being subject to the MCB issuance is calculated by taking into account the expected cash flows from eligible loans and receivables, the estimated early payment rates and early payment fees if there are any. (c) Information shall be given to the cover monitor and the Board regarding the methods used by the issuer or the servicer for the determination of the changes in the cover value to be taken into account for verifying compliance with subparagraphs (2) and (3) of paragraph (a) and for the calculation of the early payment rates pursuant to paragraph (b). The Board may set up a condition to use a specific method for determining the changes in the cover value and estimating the early payment rates. (ç) In case there is a generally accepted index exists for the calculation of the change in real estate prices, such index shall be considered in the determination of the changes in the cover value which will be taken into account to determine the compliance with subparagraphs (2) and (3) of paragraph (a). Accordingly, in case of any determination of a decrease of real estate prices in general or in a certain area, restrictions set forth in subparagraphs (2) and (3) of paragraph (a) will be applied by deeming the price of the relevant real estate being decreased at the average change rate of the above mentioned decrease in real estate prices. If there are any indications that there is a significant decrease in the value of a real estate compared to the market average, the issuer shall be required to make a new appraisal for such real estate. (2) The net present value of commercial loans and receivables, excluding the ones related with sea and air vehicles which have been collateralized by establishing mortgage at the relevant registry, may not exceed 15% of the total net present value of the cover assets. (3) Net present value of the substitute assets may not exceed 15% of the total net present value of the cover assets. Control of Compliance with Cover Matching Principles: ARTICLE 20 - (1) Compliance with cover matching principles shall be monitored by the issuer, at every change relating to the cover assets, and in any case, at least once a month. (2) To ensure the rights of CB holders are protected, the issuers may determine additional principles and envisage further sanctions with respect to violation of such principles and failure to fulfill the payment obligations, provided that the provisions of this Communiqué are reserved. In such case, the agreement executed with the cover monitor has to contain

14 provisions setting forth that along with the matters set out in this Communiqué, the cover monitor shall supervise compliance with the additional cover matching principles and sanctions that are applicable in case of violation of such principles and failure to fulfill the payment obligations. Information and Public Disclosure Principles: ARTICLE 21 - (1) In order to ensure that the CB holders are informed: a) Cover matching principles compliance report and the notifications within the scope of Article 23, shall be disclosed on the website of the issuer and on PDP, on the day the cover monitor delivers the report or the notification to the issuer; b) The investor report including information relating to collections made from the assets constituting the collateral of CB and the payments made to CB holders by the issuer, quarterly (as of every quarter of an accounting period), prepared in accordance with the form provided in Annex/5 shall be disclosed on the website of the issuer and on PDP within six business days following the end of the relevant accounting period; c) The fact that the issuer has not fulfilled its payment liabilities partially or fully shall be disclosed on the website of the issuer and on PDP, on the date when such fact is revealed.

The agreement executed with the cover monitor shall be submitted to the Board within three business days. The cover monitor may be appointed by the board of directors of the issuer.

(2) In case the cover matching principles are violated, from the date on which the violation has been detected until the date on which the cover matching principles are satisfied again, the collections made from the cover assets shall be accumulated in a separate account opened in the name of the CB holders and shall be used solely for fulfilment of the obligations arising from the CB, which have become due and payable during the period of violation.

As a result of such inspection: (a) In case it is detected that cover matching principles have been complied with, the cash that has been accumulated in a separate account may be used by the issuer by transferring such cash to the accounts of the issuer. (b) In case it is detected that the cover matching principles have not been complied with, or that the collections made from cover assets have not been accumulated in a separate account opened in the name of the CB holders, or that these collections have not been used for the fulfillment of obligations arising from CB, which have become due and payable during the period of violation, the cover monitor shall notify the issuer of any such matter. Failure of Issuer to Fulfil its Obligations: ARTICLE 26 – (1) In case the issuer fails to fulfill its payment obligations arising from CB either partially or fully, such matter will be promptly notified to the cover monitor. (2) In case it has been determined that, despite the reports prepared by the cover monitor indicating that the cover matching principles have not been violated, the issuer fails to fulfill its payment obligations arising from the CB partially or fully, the collections to be made from the cover assets shall be accumulated in a separate account opened in the name of the CB holders, as of the date on which the payment obligation has not been fulfilled, and such collected amounts shall be used solely for the fulfillment of the CB obligations that have become due and payable. (3) Within one month following the date on which the payment obligations arising from CB have not been fulfilled partially or fully, the cover monitor has to determine whether: (a) the collections made from the cover assets have been accumulated in a separate account opened in the name of the CB holders, (b) such collected amounts have been used solely for the fulfillment of CB obligations, which have become due and payable,

18 (c) the cover assets are sufficient to meet the claims of the CB holders; and notify the results of any such determination to the issuer. (4) In case the cover monitor determines that the issuer has not satisfied the conditions specified in the third paragraph either partially or fully, within the scope of the eighth paragraph of Article 13 it has to submit a notice to the debtors of the underlying loans serving as cover assets, notifying them that they have to make their payments to an account opened in the name of the CB holders, which is not held with the issuer, and which does not belong to the issuer, or to take equivalent measures approved by the Board. (5) In case the issuer fails to fulfill its payment obligations arising from the CB partially or fully, the CB holders whose receivables are not covered by the cover assets may resort to the other assets of the issuer without waiting to be paid off from the cover assets. Principles Regarding the Administrator: ARTICLE 27 – (1) In case of occurrence of the events set forth in second paragraph of Article 14, if the replacement servicer assigned by the issuer is not able to fulfill its duties for any reason whatsoever, the Board shall simultaneously appoint another bank satisfying the qualifications required for issuers, or MFI, the cover monitor or another independent audit company to act as administrator, in order to manage the cover assets and to fulfill the total liabilities without assuming the total liabilities, to the extent the revenue generated from the cover assets is sufficient. (2) In case an administrator is appointed, the revenue generated from cover assets shall primarily be used towards the payments to be made to the CB holders and the counterparties of the agreements executed for the purposes of protecting the cover assets. (3) The payment to be made in consideration of the services to the Investor Compensation Center, within the scope of the fifth paragraph of Article 59 of the Law, shall be made from the cover assets to the administrator. (4) The administrator may actively manage the cover assets to make sure the payments arising from total liabilities are made in a timely manner, and if necessary may sell assets, purchase new assets, utilize loans or conduct repo transactions. (5) The administrator may transfer the cover assets and total liabilities partially or fully to another bank satisfying the qualifications required for issuers or to MFI, after obtaining the affirmative opinion of the Board. The bank or MFI acting as transferee, shall become the owner of the cover assets upon such transfer and shall become responsible for the payments arising from total liabilities. After fulfillment of the total liabilities in full, the balance of cover assets shall belong to the bank or MFI, acting as transferee. (6) In case the cover assets and total liabilities cannot be transferred and the revenue generated from the cover assets is not sufficient, the administrator shall not be held liable for the payments arising from the total liabilities.
