The Put Option 1 will become exercisable, whether in whole or in part:

9

(a) for a period beginning from 1 October 2008 (to the extent that the Completion Date has occurred prior to such date) or from the Completion Date (if such date has occurred after 1 October 2008) and expiring one (1) year after Completion (the “Put Option 1 Period”);

(b) by HR irrevocably giving Notice (the “Put Option 1 Exercise Notice”) to DT of its intent to exercise the Put Option 1, specifying therein the exact number of the Put Option 1 Shares and the date for the transfer thereof, which shall be the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day from the date of the Put Option 1 Exercise Notice (the “Put Option 1 Date”); and

(c) at the Put Option 1 Price. It is understood that the Put Option 1 Price will not be reduced if the dividend declared by the Company in respect of its financial year ended on 31 December 2007 or that ending on 31 December 2008 or any interim dividend or other form of cash distribution to its shareholders that may be declared or made by the Company in respect of its current financial year which, in each case, will correspond to the Put Option 1 Shares, has been paid to the Seller on or prior to the Put Option 1 Date.

6.2 DT hereby grants to HR the right to require DT to purchase from the HR OTE Shares (the “Put Option 2”) representing ten per cent (10%) of such shares plus any portion of the Put Option 1 Shares which have not been sold by the Seller during the Put Option 1 Period (together the “Put Option 2 Shares”). The Put Option 2 will become exercisable, in whole or in part and in one or more tranches, for a period beginning one (1) year from Completion and ending on 31 December 2011 as follows:

(a) at a price per Put Option 2 Share (the “Put Option 2 Price”) equal to the sum of (i) the weighted average market price for the OTE Shares on the ATHEX (“VWAP”) for the last 20 trading days prior to the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice (ii) and a premium of (A) twenty per cent (20%), if the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice is sent at any time within the period beginning one (1) year from Completion and expiring two (2) years from Completion (the “Put Option 2 First Period”), and (B) fifteen per cent (15%), if the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice is sent at any time after the Put Option 2 First Period until and including 31 December 2011 (the “Put Option 2 Second Period”); and

(b) by HR irrevocably giving Notice to DT of its intent to exercise the Put Option 2 (the “Put Option 2 Exercise Notice”), specifying therein the exact number of the Put Option 2 Shares and the date for the transfer thereof, which shall be the third (3^rd) Business Day after the expiration of one month from receipt by DT of the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice (each the “Put Option 2 Date”),

it being understood that

(i) “block trades” (as defined in article 100 et seq. of the ATHEX Regulation) shall not be taken into account to calculate the VWAP; and

(ii) for the calculation of the VWAP, if such Put Option 2 Exercise Notice is given within twenty (20) trading days of a dividend being paid by OTE and thus the OTE Shares becoming ex-dividend in the process, for the purposes of calculating an average, the following adjustments to the OTE Share prices shall be made before the Put Option 2 Price is calculated as per Paragraph 6.2a:

(A) In case the OTE Shares have been traded cum-dividend for ten (10) trading days or more than ten (10) days of the

10

twenty (20) day VWAP period, the prices for the OTE Shares in the days that have been traded ex-dividend shall be increased by the amount of the dividend to calculate the VWAP. Put Option 2 Price referred to in Paragraph 6.2 (a) will be adjusted to be the sum of the VWAP and the relevant premium as in Paragraph 6.2 (a) above, less the per share amount of the dividend received.

(B) in case the OTE Shares have been traded ex-dividend for more than ten (10) trading days of the twenty (20) day VWAP period, the prices for the OTE Shares in the days that have been traded cum-dividend shall be decreased by the amount of the dividend to calculate the VWAP. The Put Option 2 Price referred to in Paragraph 6.2 (a) will be adjusted to be the sum of the VWAP and the relevant premium, as in Paragraph 6.2 (a) above.

6.3 The Parties agree that:

(a) the receipt of DT of a Put Option Exercise Notice sent by the HR shall oblige the former to sell and the latter to purchase the relevant Put Option Shares at the relevant Put Option Price; and

(b) the transfer of any Put Option Shares to DT from the HR shall require the entering into a separate written agreement, substantially in the form of this Agreement, with such adjustments as the Parties will deem necessary in view of the prevailing circumstances.

6.4 If, at any time during the Put Option 1 Period, the Put Option 2 First Period or the Put Option 2 Second Period, a Decision 35 Event occurs, thus triggering an adjustment to the market price of OTE Shares in accordance with Decision 35, the Parties agree that such adjustment shall be taken into account to calculate the Put Option 1 Price or Put Option 2 Price, as applicable.

6.5 If in any case there is no market price for OTE for any reason whatsoever for more than five (5) Business Days and thus the price used as a basis for the Put Option 2 cannot be calculated, then each Party will appoint an internationally recognized investment bank to provide a valuation estimate of the OTE Shares at that point in time. If there is less than 15% difference in the valuation estimate between the Parties as described above, then (i) the average of the two valuations plus a premium of 20% will be considered as the Put Option 2 Price if the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice was sent during Put Option 2 First Period, or (ii) the average of the two valuations plus a premium of 15% will be considered as Put Option 2 Price if the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice was sent during the Put Option 2 Second Period. If the valuation estimate between the Parties, as described, above is 15% or more, then both Parties will agree to appoint a third internationally recognized investment bank to provide a valuation estimate of the OTE Shares. If the Parties fail to agree on which investment bank to appoint, the Parties will refer the issue to the Geneva court of arbitration and agree to accept its nomination among international investment banks that do not have a conflict of interest with either Party. The Put Option 2 Price will be the average of the third investment bank’s valuation and the valuation of the original investment bank that was closest to the third investment bank’s valuation plus (i) a premium of 20%, if the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice was sent during the Put Option 2 First Period, or (ii) a premium of 15%, if the Put Option 2 Exercise Notice was sent during Put Option 2 Second Period.
