Provident. 
 2. Employment Period 

(a) Duration. Executive’s period of employment with Provident shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the
first anniversary of such date (or if a Change in Control occurs prior to such first anniversary, the one year anniversary of the date of the Change in Control), unless terminated prior thereto by either Provident or Executive in accordance with
Section 6 hereof (such period of employment being the “Employment Period”). 
 (b) Employment Following
Termination of Employment Period. Nothing in this Agreement shall mandate or prohibit a continuation of Executive’s employment following the expiration of the Employment Period upon such terms and conditions as the Company, the Bank, and

plans; and (C) any other employee benefit plans and programs, in accordance with Provident’s customary practices, provided that Executive’s participation shall be subject to the terms of such plans and programs (including being a
member of the class of employees authorized to participate in the plan or program), and provided further that nothing herein shall limit Provident’s right to amend or terminate any such plans or programs. 

(ii) Paid Time Off. Executive shall be entitled to five (5) weeks of paid vacation time each year during the Employment
Period (measured on a fiscal or calendar year basis, in accordance with the Provident’s usual practices), as well as sick leave, holidays and other paid absences in accordance with the Provident’s policies and procedures for senior

 6. Termination of Employment 

(a) Termination by the Company Without Cause. 
 (i) Provident shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment at any time during the Employment Period without Cause by giving notice to Executive as described in Section 6(f). For sake
of clarity, neither termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 6(e) nor upon or after expiration of the Employment Period shall constitute a termination without Cause for purposes of this Section 6. 

(ii) In the event that Provident terminates Executive’s employment during the Employment Period without Cause: 

(A) Provident shall pay or provide to Executive any Accrued Obligations; 

(B) If such termination of employment occurs within one year after a Change in Control, subject to Section 6(g), Provident shall
(I) pay to Executive within sixty (60) days following the date of termination a lump sum cash payment (the “CIC Severance Payment”) equal to Executive’s Base Salary immediately prior to termination of employment and (II) pay
to Executive on a monthly basis commencing with the first month following Executive’s termination of employment and continuing until the eighteenth month following Executive’s termination of employment a cash payment (subject to reduction
for applicable withholding taxes) equal to the monthly COBRA premium in effect as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment for the level of coverage in effect for Executive under Provident’s group health plan (the “CIC
COBRA Payments”); 
 (b) Termination by the Company for Cause. Provident shall have the right to terminate
Executive’s employment at any time during the Employment Period for Cause by giving notice to Executive as provided in Section 6(f) hereof. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, Provident’s sole obligation
shall be to pay or provide to Executive any Accrued Obligations. 
 (c) Resignation by Executive Without Good Reason.
Executive may resign from employment during the Employment Period without Good Reason at any time by giving notice to the Company as described in Section 6(f). In the event Executive resigns from employment without Good Reason, Provident’s
sole obligation shall be to pay or provide to Executive any Accrued Obligations. 
 (d) Resignation by Executive for Good
Reason. Executive may resign from employment under this Agreement for Good Reason by giving notice to the Company as described in Section 6(f). In the event Executive resigns from employment for Good Reason, Provident shall pay or provide
to Executive the same payments and benefits subject to the same terms and conditions, as described in Sections 6(a)(ii)(A)-(B) as if Executive’s employment was terminated by Provident without Cause pursuant to Section 6(a) as of
the date of Executive’s termination of employment for Good Reason. 

  
 3 

 (e) Termination by Reason of Death or Disability of Executive. 

(i) In the event of Executive’s death during the Employment Period, Provident’s sole obligation shall be to pay to
Executive’s legal representatives any Accrued Obligations. 
 (ii) The Company shall be entitled to terminate
Executive’s employment due to Executive’s Disability. If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated due to Executive’s Disability, Provident’s sole obligation shall be to pay or provide to Executive any Accrued
Obligations. 
 (f) Notice; Effective Date of Termination. Notice of termination of employment under this Agreement shall
be communicated by or to Executive (on one hand) or the Company (on the other hand) in writing in accordance with Section 13. Termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective on the earliest of:

 (i) immediately after Provident gives notice to Executive of Executive’s termination without Cause, unless the parties
agree to a later date, in which case, termination shall be effective as of such later date; 
 (ii) immediately upon approval by
the Board of termination of Executive’s employment for Cause; 
 (iii) immediately upon Executive’s death; 

(iv) in the case of termination by reason of Executive’s Disability, the date on which Executive is determined to be permanently
disabled for purposes of Provident’s long-term disability plan or policy that covers Executive; or 
 (v) thirty
(30) days after Executive gives written notice to Provident of Executive’s resignation from employment under this Agreement (including for Good Reason), provided that the Company or the Bank may set an earlier termination date at any time
prior to the date of termination of employment, in which case Executive’s resignation shall be effective as of such other date. 
 (g) General Release of Claims. Executive shall not be entitled to the CIC Severance Payment or the CIC COBRA Payments (together, the CIC Severance Benefits”) pursuant to Section 6(a) or
6(d) hereof unless (i) Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release of claims (in such form as the Company shall specify) (the “Release”) and such Release has become irrevocable under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act (ADEA) not later than fifty-six (56) days after the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder. Executive’s entitlement to any CIC Severance Benefits is further conditioned upon Executive returning to
Provident all property of Provident on or prior to the date of Executive’s termination of employment with Provident and complying with the terms of Sections 5, 8, and 9 hereof and the Release. Provident shall deliver to Executive a copy of the
Release not later than three (3) days after Executive’s termination of employment hereunder after a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(d) hereof. 

  
 4 

 (h) No Other Severance Benefits. Executive acknowledges that any of the CIC Severance
Benefits paid hereunder are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any payments and/or benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled under any severance plan, policy or program of Provident. 

(i) Payment of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any payment obligation of the Company or the Bank
under this Agreement may be satisfied in whole or in part by payment by the Company, the Bank, or any affiliate and any such payment shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be treated as if made by the Company or the Bank (as applicable). 

(j) Resignation from Positions. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall promptly
(i) resign from all positions (including, without limitation, any management, officer, or director position) with Provident and (ii) relinquish any power of attorney, signing authority, trust authorization, or bank account signatory
authorization that Executive may hold on behalf of Provident. Executive’s execution of this Agreement shall be deemed the grant by Executive to the officers of the Company and the Bank of a limited power of attorney to sign in Executive’s
name and on Executive’s behalf such documentation as may be necessary or appropriate for the limited purposes of effectuating such resignations and relinquishments. 
 (k) Golden Parachute Limit. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any portion of the CIC Severance Benefits or any other payment or benefit received or
to be received by Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (collectively, the “Total Benefits”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (the “Excise Tax”), the Total Benefits shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Benefits is subject to the Excise Tax; provided,
however, that no such reduction in the Total Benefits shall be made if by not making such reduction, Executive’s Retained Amount (as hereinafter defined) would be greater than Executive’s Retained Amount if the Total Benefits are so
reduced. All determinations required to be made under this Section 6(k) shall be made by tax counsel selected by Provident and reasonably acceptable to Executive (“Tax Counsel”), which determinations shall be conclusive and
binding on Executive and Provident absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of Tax Counsel shall be borne solely by Provident. Prior to any reduction in Executive’s Total Benefits pursuant to this Section 6(k), Tax Counsel shall
provide Executive and the Company with a report setting forth its calculations and containing related supporting information. In the event any such reduction is required, the Total Benefits shall be reduced in the following order: (i) the CIC
COBRA Payments, (ii) the CIC Severance Payment, (iii) any other portion of the Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code (other than Total Benefits resulting from any accelerated vesting of equity awards),
(iv) Total Benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code in reverse order of payment, and (v) Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A and arise from any accelerated vesting of any equity awards. The parties
hereto hereby elect to use the applicable Federal rate that is in effect on the date this Agreement is entered into for purposes of determining the present value of any payments provided for 

  
 5 

 
hereunder for purposes of Section 280G of the Code. “Retained Amount” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 290G(d)(4) of
the Code) of the Total Benefits net of all federal, state and local taxes imposed on Executive with respect thereto. 
 7.

 (a) “Accrued Obligations” means (i) any accrued and
unpaid Base Salary of Executive through the date of termination of employment, payable pursuant to the Bank’s standard payroll policies, (ii) any compensation and benefits to the extent payable to Executive based on Executive’s
participation in any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement of Provident through the date of termination of employment, payable in accordance with the terms of such plan, program or arrangement, and (iii) any expense reimbursement
to which Executive is entitled under Provident’s standard expense reimbursement policy (as applicable) and Sections 3(e) and 10 hereof. 
 (b) “Cause” means Executive’s failure or refusal to substantially perform his duties hereunder, personal dishonesty, incompetence, misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty to the Company
or the Bank, breach of the Bank’s Code of Ethics, material violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley or other legal requirements for officers of public companies that in the reasonable opinion of the Board will likely cause material financial harm or
material injury to the reputation of the Company or the Bank, engaging in actions that in the reasonable opinion of the Board will likely cause material financial harm or material injury to the business reputation of the Company or Bank, willful
violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than routine traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of this Agreement.  

(c) “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(i) any “person” (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)), other than any employee benefit plan of Provident or any affiliate, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 50.1 % or more of the combined voting power of Company’s outstanding securities; or 
 (ii) individuals
who constitute the Board on the date hereof (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was
approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by the Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be,
for purposes of this clause (ii), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or 
 (iii) the Company
consummates a merger, consolidation, share exchange, division or other reorganization or transaction of the Company (a “Fundamental Transaction”) with any other corporation, other than a Fundamental Transaction that results in
the voting 

  
 6 

 
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more
than fifty percent (50%) of the combined Voting Power immediately after such Fundamental Transaction of (i) the Company’s outstanding securities, (ii) the surviving entity’s outstanding securities or (iii) in the
case of a division, the outstanding securities of each entity resulting from the division; or

Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or winding up of the Company; or 
 (v) the consummation of an agreement for the

 (d) “Disability” means that Executive is deemed disabled for purposes of Provident’s long-term disability plan or policy that covers Executive. 

(e) “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events (without Executive’s consent): 

(i) a material adverse change in Executive’s functions, duties, or responsibilities with the Company and the Bank, which change
would cause Executive’s position to become one of materially lesser responsibility, importance, or scope; or 
 (ii) a

or the Bank is a subsidiary or affiliate, any document or information obtained from the Company, the Bank or from any of their respective parents, subsidiaries or affiliates, in the course of Executive’s employment with any of them concerning
their properties, operations or business (unless such document or information is readily ascertainable from public or published information or trade sources or has otherwise been made available to the public through no fault of Executive) until the
same becomes so ascertainable or available; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent Executive, with or without the Bank’s or the Company’s consent, from participating in or disclosing documents or information in
connection with any judicial or administrative investigation, inquiry or proceeding to the extent that such participation or disclosure is required under applicable law. 

  
 7 

 9. Non-Solicitation; Post-Termination Cooperation 

(a) Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, while employed by Provident and for a period of one year following Executive’s
termination of employment with Provident (whether or not during the Employment Period), Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, either directly or indirectly: 

(i) solicit, offer employment to, or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would
expect) to have the effect of causing any officer or employee of the Company, the Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate his or her employment and accept employment or become affiliated with, or provide services for
compensation in any capacity whatsoever to, any other person, business or entity; or 
 (ii) solicit, provide any information,
advice or recommendation or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would expect) to have the effect of causing any customer of the Company or the Bank or any of their affiliates to terminate an
existing business or commercial relationship with the Company or the Bank or any of their affiliates. 
 (b) Executive shall,
upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Company and/or the Bank, as may reasonably be required by the Company and/or the Bank, in connection with any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is,
or may become, a party; provided, however, that Executive shall not be required to provide information or assistance with respect to any litigation between Executive and the Company, the Bank or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. 

(c) All payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive’s compliance with this Section. The
parties hereto, recognizing that irreparable injury will result to the Company, the Bank and/or their affiliates, and their business and property in the event of Executive’s breach of this Section, agree that, in the event of any such breach by
Executive, the Company and the Bank will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to an injunction to restrain the violation hereof by Executive and all persons acting for or with Executive. Nothing herein will be
construed as prohibiting the Company and the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to them for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive. 

10. Section 409A of the Code. 
 (a) This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (including the exceptions thereto), to the extent applicable, and the Company shall administer and interpret
this Agreement in accordance with such requirements. If any provision contained in the Agreement conflicts with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or the exemptions intended to apply under the Agreement), the Agreement shall be
deemed to be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or the applicable exemptions thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining any entitlement of Executive to the CIC
Severance Benefits, (i) Executive’s 

  
 8 

 
employment shall not be deemed to have terminated unless and until Executive incurs a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code. Reimbursement of any
expenses provided for in this Agreement shall be made promptly upon presentation of documentation in accordance with Provident’s policies with respect thereto as in effect from time to time (but in no event later than the end of calendar year
following the year such expenses were incurred); provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement hereunder during a calendar year affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other
taxable year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a payment or benefit under this Agreement is due to a “separation from service” for purposes of the rules under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) (payments to specified
employees upon a separation from service) and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” (as determined under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i) and related Company procedures), such payment shall, to the extent necessary to comply
with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, be made on the later of (x) the date specified by the foregoing provisions of this Agreement or (y) the date that is six (6) months after the date of Executive’s separation
from service (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death). Any installment payments that are delayed pursuant to this Section 10 shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Date
of Termination (or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death) and the remaining installment payments shall begin on such date in accordance with the schedule provided in this Agreement. Each installment of the CIC COBRA Payments shall be deemed
to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The CIC Severance Benefits are intended not to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code.

11. Additional Termination and Suspension Provisions 

(a) If Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice
served under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Company and the Bank under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of
service unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Company and the Bank may in their discretion (but subject in all events to the requirements of Code Section 409A), (i) pay Executive all of
the compensation withheld while the Company’s and the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole) any of the Company’s and the Bank’s obligations which were suspended, and in
exercising such discretion, the Company and the Bank shall consider the facts and make a decision promptly following such dismissal of charges and act in good faith in deciding whether to pay any withheld compensation to Executive and to reinstate
any suspended obligations of the Company and the Bank. 
 (b) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)), all obligations of the Company and the
Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. 
 (c) If the Bank is in default, as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. § 1813(x)(1)), all obligations of the Company and the Bank under this
Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this provision shall not affect any vested rights of the parties. 

  
 9 

 (d) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent
determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank, (i) by the OTS or other applicable banking regulator (the “Regulator”), at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide
assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended; or (ii) by the Regulator, at the time the Regulator approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems
related to operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Regulator to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action. 

(e) If any regulation applicable to the Company or the Bank shall hereafter be adopted, amended or modified or if any new regulation
applicable to the Company or the Bank and effective after the date of this Agreement: 
 (i) shall require the inclusion in this
Agreement of a provision not presently included in this Agreement, then the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to give effect in this Agreement to any such amended, modified or new regulation; and

 (ii) shall permit the exclusion of a limitation in this Agreement on the payment to Executive of an amount or benefit
provided for presently in this Agreement, then the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be deemed amended to the extent permissible to exclude from this Agreement any such limitation previously required to be included in this Agreement by a
regulation prior to its amendment, modification or repeal. 
 12. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy
arising out of, under, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement or any amendment hereof shall be submitted to binding arbitration before one arbitrator in Rockland County, New York in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association for expedited arbitration, and any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
 13. Notices. The persons or addresses to which mailings or deliveries shall be made may change from time to time by notice given pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Any notice
or other communication given pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been given (a) if sent by messenger, upon personal delivery to the party to whom the notice is directed; (b) if sent by reputable overnight
courier, one business day after delivery to such courier; (c) if sent by facsimile, upon electronic or telephonic confirmation of receipt from the receiving facsimile machine and (d) if sent by mail, three business days following deposit
in the United States mail, properly addressed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail with return receipt requested. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be addressed as follows: 

 

					
	If to Executive:	  	Daniel G. Rothstein
		  	  
	  	
		  	  
	  	
		
	If to the Company or the Bank:	  	 Provident New York Bancorp or Provident Bank as applicable

 15. Miscellaneous 

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Executive, his legal representatives
and estate and intestate distributees, and the Company and the Bank, their successors and assigns, including any successor by merger or consolidation or a statutory receiver or any other person or firm or corporation to which all or substantially
all of the assets and business of the Company or the Bank, as applicable, may be sold or otherwise transferred. Any such successor of the Company or the Bank shall be deemed to have assumed this Agreement and to have become obligated hereunder to
the same extent as the Company or the Bank, as applicable, and Executive’s obligations hereunder shall continue in favor of such successor. 
 (b) Severability. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. 

(c) Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver
of such term, covenant or condition. A waiver of any provision of this Agreement must be made in writing, designated as a waiver, and signed by the party against whom its enforcement is sought. Any waiver or relinquishment or any right or power
hereunder at any one or more times shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times. 
 (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. 

(e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to conflicts of law principles, except to the extent governed by federal law in which case federal law shall govern. Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are subject to all applicable banking
laws and regulations, including, without limitation, 12 U.S.C. § 1828 (k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 

(f) Withholding. The Company and the Bank may withhold from any amounts payable to Executive hereunder all federal, state, city or
other taxes that the Company or the

respect of the payments and benefits provided herein). 
 (g) Headings and Construction. The headings of sections in this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to qualify the meaning of any Section. Any reference to a Section number shall refer to a Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

 Exh. 4.1-3

 
issued in exchange for a Global Security in accordance with Section 5 hereof, shall not exceed [currency]
                    , plus the aggregate principal amount of any additional Securities issued by the Issuer in accordance with Section 9
of this Agreement. 
 (c) The Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication by the Fiscal Agent, except as
otherwise provided in Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 5(h) hereof in connection with the Securities authenticated and delivered upon transfer or exchange or in lieu of the Global Securities. 

4. PAYMENT, REDEMPTION AND CANCELLATION. (a) Subject to the following provisions, the Issuer will pay to the Fiscal Agent the
amounts at the times, and for the purposes, set forth herein and in the Securities. The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Fiscal Agent from funds so paid to it, to make or cause to be made payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities as set forth herein and in accordance with the text of the Securities and the requirements of applicable law. 
 (b)
Subject to Sections 4(c), 4(d) and 4(l) hereof, as early as possible on each interest payment date and on the redemption or maturity date, the Fiscal Agent will arrange directly or with any other Agent for the payment from funds furnished by the
Issuer of the principal of and interest on the Securities in immediately available funds by [currency] check drawn on, or by transfer to a [currency] account maintained by the payee, in such other manner as may be set forth or provided for in the

such purpose funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities under an agreement with respect to such funds containing substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4(b) and in Sections 4(c), 4(d),
4(e), 4(f), 4(g), 4(l) and 7(b) of this Agreement; and the Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to any funds so paid by the Issuer to any such Agent.

with the IPMA Operating Manual on “Japanese Withholding Tax on Certain International Issues Held Through DTC” (the “DTC Procedures”) dated 28th January, 2000, as amended or supplemented, and, in respect of any interest
payment on the International Global Security, the Fiscal Agent shall act in accordance with the IPMA Operating Manual on “Japanese Withholding Tax on Certain Eurobond Issues” (the “Manual”) dated 24th June, 1998, as amended
or supplemented. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Fiscal Agent shall be responsible only for performing such services as are specifically provided for in the DTC Procedures, the Manual, or such other procedures actually known by
the Fiscal Agent, as applicable and as may be amended or modified and communicated to the Fiscal Agent from time to time. 
 (d)
If and so long as payments of interest may be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of Japanese tax only upon receipt of duly executed certifications, claims for exemption, notifications or other documentation (“Tax
Documentation”), the Fiscal Agent shall (i) accept the required Tax Documentation from holders or beneficial owners and clearing organizations, (ii) review the Tax Documentation, and sign any required confirmations, and
(iii) promptly deliver the Tax Documentation (directly or through the relevant Agent, in the case of Tax Documentation collected by such Agent) to the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, the relevant Japanese District Tax Office. The
Fiscal Agent may rely on the information provided in Tax Documentation (including, where relevant, supporting documentation) in the absence of actual knowledge that such information is incorrect. The Fiscal Agent shall furnish forms of
certifications to holders or beneficial owners of the Securities upon request, and shall use reasonable endeavors to assist holders or beneficial owners in claiming available exemptions, but shall not be liable for a holder’s or a beneficial
owner’s failure to qualify for such an exemption. 
 (e) If a holder or a beneficial owner of the Securities satisfies the
requirements for claiming an exemption from Japanese withholding tax after the date on which an amount in respect of such tax is withheld and before 

  
 Exh. 4.1-4

 
the date on which the tax is actually paid to the Japanese tax authorities, then the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent (on its behalf and out of funds paid to it from the Issuer) shall, to the extent
it is possible to do so, pay the amount withheld (after the deduction of reasonable costs, including amounts in respect of changes in foreign exchange rates) to the holder or the beneficial owner. 

(f) Under procedures agreed with the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent shall deliver tax certifications and related confirmations signed by or on
behalf of the Issuer, together with payment of any applicable withholding taxes, to the relevant Japanese District Tax Office on or before the date on which such taxes are required under Japanese law or administrative practice to be paid.

 (g) The Fiscal Agent shall retain copies of Tax Documentation for a period of five years from the date as prescribed by law
and shall make such documentation available for inspections by the Issuer upon reasonable request and any relevant tax authorities in Japan. 
 (h) The Fiscal Agent shall open or maintain a [currency] account entitled “Japan Bank for International Cooperation Fiscal Agency Account” in which all monies paid for the service of the
Securities shall be carried. 
 (i) The Fiscal Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any monies at any time
received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Securities except such as it pays on similar deposits or as may be agreed on by the Fiscal Agent and the Issuer and Japan. 

(j) In case the Issuer shall elect to redeem Securities, in whole but not in part, and the Issuer determines and certifies to the Fiscal
Agent immediately prior to the giving of the notice of the redemption that, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of Japan (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority of Japan) affecting any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan, or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Taxes”), or any
change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of these laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or
interpretation becomes effective on or after                     ,
                    , the Issuer is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay any additional amounts as may be necessary
in order that the net amounts received by any beneficial owner of the Securities after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable by such
beneficial owner in respect of the Securities in the absence of such withholding or deduction, that cannot be avoided by measures reasonably available to the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent shall cause to be published on behalf of the Issuer at the
Issuer’s cost irrevocable notice of intention to redeem the Securities on the date therein designated, and stating that on said redemption date there will become and be due and payable upon each Security so to be redeemed the redemption price
payable upon such redemption in [currency], at the place or places specified in such notice, and that from and after such redemption date interest thereon will cease to accrue; provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than ninety
(90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make the withholding if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. Prior to the publication and sending of any notice of redemption of the Securities
pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing or an opinion of a tax consultant of recognized standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist.
The Fiscal Agent shall accept such opinion of counsel or tax consultant, as the case may be, as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above and shall be entitled to rely on such opinion of counsel or tax
consultant, and it shall be conclusive and binding on the registered holders of the Securities. Such notice shall be published in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in The City of New York and in a daily newspaper in
the English language of general circulation in London, England, at least once prior to the redemption date, such publication to be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, provided that for
so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear, and Clearstream, for communication by them to their respective participants in substitution for

  
 Exh. 4.1-5

 
publication in any such newspaper. In case, by reason of the temporary or permanent suspension of the publication or general circulation of any newspaper or by reason of any other cause, it shall
be impossible or impracticable to publish such notice in the manner herein provided, then such method of publication in lieu thereof as shall be approved by the Fiscal Agent shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice. 

(k) All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be promptly cancelled by the Fiscal
Agent or such other person as may be designated by the Issuer. All cancelled Securities which were surrendered to anyone other than the Fiscal Agent shall be delivered by such other person (including any transfer agent) to the Fiscal Agent. All
cancelled Securities held by the Fiscal Agent shall be destroyed by the Fiscal Agent, and the Fiscal Agent shall furnish to the Issuer and Japan a certificate with respect to such destruction. The Issuer and Japan shall be entitled to have their
representatives present at the time of any such destruction but no notice of such destruction need be furnished prior thereto. 

(l) In the event that Securities in definitive registered form are issued, the Fiscal Agent shall make or cause to be made payment of
interest on any such Securities directly to registered holders of such Securities in whose names such Securities were registered at the close of business on the record date for such payment (as defined in the Global Securities). Payment of principal
on any Security in definitive registered form will be made only upon surrender of such Security in definitive registered form at the office of the Fiscal Agent or any other duly appointed Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall provide notice of such final
payment to registered holders mailed not later than the fifteen (15) days before such final payment. Payments will be made on the due date therefor in immediately available funds by wire transfer or by check mailed to the addresses of such
holders as they appear on the register maintained by the Fiscal Agent. If the applicable due date for payment is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. 

5. EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF SECURITIES. (a) 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 to the registered holder thereof: 

(i) Global Securities or Securities in definitive registered form, as the case may be, in exchange for or in lieu of
Global Securities or Securities in definitive registered form, as the case may be, which become mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost; and 
 (ii) Global Securities or Securities in definitive registered form, as the case may be, of authorized denominations in exchange for a like aggregate principal amount of Global Securities or Securities in
definitive registered form, as the case may be, of other authorized denominations. 
 All Securities so authenticated by the
Fiscal Agent shall bear the guarantee of Japan in the form herein provided for. 
 Each Security authenticated and delivered
upon any transfer or in exchange for or in lieu of the whole or any part of any Security shall carry all rights to interest accrued and unpaid and to accrue which were carried by the whole or such part of such Security and shall be so dated that
neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution. 
 (b) Subject to subsection
(c) of this Section, no service charge shall be made for any such transfer, exchange or registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent (and any other Agent appointed by the Issuer pursuant to
Section 2 of this Agreement) may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection therewith. 

(c) In case any Security certificate shall at any time become mutilated or destroyed or stolen or lost then, provided that such Security,
or evidence of the destruction, theft or loss thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent (which term, for the avoidance of doubt,
includes the U.S. Representative) or in the case of Security 

  
 Exh. 4.1-6

 
in definitive registered form, delivered to either the Fiscal Agent or any transfer agent, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form
herein provided for, will be issued by the Issuer and, at its request, authenticated and delivered by the Fiscal Agent, in exchange for the Security so mutilated, or in lieu of the Security destroyed or stolen or lost; and provided further that, in
the case of destroyed, stolen or lost Securities, the Issuer, Japan, the Fiscal Agent and any transfer agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to them that such Securities were destroyed, stolen or lost, and shall also have received an
indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring any indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a replacement Security shall be borne by the holder of the Security
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost. Upon the issuance of any replacement Security under this Section 5(c), the Issuer, Japan, the Fiscal Agent or any transfer agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or
other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith. In case such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Security has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or cause to be paid such Security. 
 Every replacement Security issued pursuant to this Section 5(c) in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Security shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer
guaranteed by Japan, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute an issuance of Securities in excess of the maximum aggregate
principal amount set forth in Section 3(b) of this Agreement). Any replacement Security delivered pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such replacement. 

(d) The Issuer will promptly make available to the Fiscal Agent a reasonable supply of Securities in definitive registered form and will
issue or cause to be issued Securities in definitive registered form upon registration of transfer of, or exchange for, Securities represented by the DTC Global Securities if DTC (a) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as depositary for such DTC Global Security or (b) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a time when it is required to be, and in either such case (a) or
(b) a successor is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that DTC is no longer so registered. 
 (e) The Issuer will promptly make available to the Fiscal Agent a reasonable supply of Securities in definitive registered form and will issue or cause to be issued Securities in definitive registered
form upon registration of transfer of, or exchange for, Securities represented by the International Global Security if Euroclear or Clearstream is closed for business for a continuous period of fourteen (14) days (other than by reason of legal
holidays) or announces an intention permanently to cease business. 
 (f) The Issuer may also at any time in its sole discretion
determine not to have any of the Securities represented by the Global Securities and, in such event, will issue or cause to be issued Securities in definitive registered form upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, Securities
represented by Global Securities. 
 (g) The Issuer shall bear the costs and expenses of printing or preparing any Securities in
definitive registered form issued pursuant to Section 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f) above. 
 (h) Upon any such issuance pursuant to
Section 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f) above of Securities in definitive registered form in exchange for all the Securities represented by any Global Security, the Fiscal Agent shall receive the relevant Global Securities from the custodian for DTC or the
common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be, shall cancel such Global Securities and shall reduce the holdings of the registered holder of such Global Securities on the register to nil and shall receive Securities in
definitive registered form from the Issuer. The Fiscal Agent shall have at least thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of Securities in definitive registered form, Global Securities submitted for exchange, registration information and
delivery information, whichever is latest, to authenticate and deliver such Securities in definitive registered form in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream participants’ beneficial
interests in the Securities represented by the relevant Global Securities as of the record date for such 

  
 Exh. 4.1-7

 
exchange established by the Issuer, as directed by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and in such
denominations of [currency]                     and integral multiples of [currency]
                    in excess thereof, and delivered as DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, pursuant to instructions from direct or indirect
participants, shall direct. All Securities represented by Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for Securities represented by the relevant Global Securities shall be valid obligations of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan, the
holders of which shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the holders of the Global Securities. Exchanges of Global Securities for Securities in definitive registered form as described in this subsection (h) shall be made
at the Issuer’s expense without charge to DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or the common depositary. 
 (i) Unless the DTC
Global Securities are presented by an authorized representative of DTC to the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent or their respective agents for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any replacement DTC Global Securities are registered in the name
of a nominee of DTC, and any payment is made to such nominee, any transfer, pledge or other use of the DTC Global Securities for value or otherwise shall be wrongful since the registered holders of the DTC Global Securities have an interest in the
Securities evidenced by the DTC Global Securities. 
 (j) Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any transfer agent will be required to
(i) exchange or register the transfer of any Security selected for redemption; or (ii) exchange or register the transfer of any Security for the period from the record date preceding the due date for any payment to the payment date with
respect to such Security. 
 6. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER. (a) The Fiscal Agent shall maintain, as agent of the Issuer for
the purpose, at its office in [name of city], a register for (i) registering and maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of all DTC Global Securities and the International Global Security, (ii) registering transfers between holders
of the Global Securities, (iii) registering and maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of all definitive registered Securities, (iv) registering transfers between holders of the definitive registered Securities and
(v) registering and maintaining a record of any further issues of Securities pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement and any subsequent transfers thereof. In addition, the Fiscal Agent will (i) maintain and promptly update the
respective Schedules to the DTC Global Securities and the International Global Security, and (ii) ensure that the sum of the respective aggregate principal amounts shown by the latest entry in the respective Schedules to the DTC Global
Securities and the International Global Security does not exceed [currency]                     , plus the aggregate principal amount of any
additional Securities issued by the Issuer in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement, at any one time. Upon presentation for the purpose at the said office of the Fiscal Agent of any Security duly endorsed by, or accompanied by delivery of
a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder of the Security, or the registered holder’s attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, such Security shall be transferred upon
such register and a new Security, bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form herein provided for, shall be authenticated and delivered in the name of the transferee. Transfers and exchanges of Securities shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as may be prescribed by the Issuer. 
 Upon presentation for transfer or exchange of any Security in definitive form
at any office of any transfer agent accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Fiscal Agent duly executed by the registered holder or such registered holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, such Security and
written instrument shall be forwarded to the office of the Fiscal Agent. In addition, any transfer agent shall provide to Fiscal Agent such information as the Fiscal Agent may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such transfer agent
of Securities in the definitive form in exchange for other Securities. 
 (b) When book-entry interests in Securities are to be
transferred from the account of a DTC participant holding a beneficial interest in a DTC Global Security to the account of a Euroclear or Clearstream accountholder wishing to purchase a beneficial interest in an International Global Security, on the
settlement date, the custodian of the DTC Global Security, initially [NAME OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE], will instruct the Fiscal Agent to: 
  

	 	•	 	 decrease the amount of Securities registered in the name of the nominee of DTC and evidenced by the relevant DTC Global Security; and

  
 Exh. 4.1-8

	 	•	 	 increase the amount of Securities registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, and evidenced by the
International Global Security. Book-entry interests will be delivered free of payment to Euroclear or Clearstream as the case may be, for credit to the relevant accountholder on the first Business Day following the settlement date.

 (c) When book-entry interests in the Securities are to be transferred from the account of a Euroclear or
Clearstream accountholder to the account of a DTC participant wishing to purchase a beneficial interest in a DTC Global Security, on the settlement date, the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream will: 

 

	 	•	 	 transmit appropriate instructions to the custodian of the DTC Global Security, initially [NAME OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE], who will in turn deliver such
book-entry interests free of payment to the relevant account of the DTC participants; and 

  

	 	•	 	 instruct the Fiscal Agent to: 

  

	 	•	 	 decrease the amount of Securities registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, and evidenced by the
International Global Security; and 

  

	 	•	 	 increase the amount of Securities registered in the name of the nominee of DTC and evidenced by the relevant DTC Global Security.

8. RESIGNATION OR TERMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) The Issuer and Japan agree, for the benefit of the holders from time
to time of the Securities, that there shall at all times be a Fiscal Agent hereunder which shall be or which shall have a representative which is a bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
the State of New York, in good standing and having an established place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, until all the Securities authenticated and
delivered hereunder (i) shall have been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation or (ii) shall have become due and payable and monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities shall have been made available
for payment and either paid or returned to the Issuer or Japan as provided herein and in the Securities (such date being herein referred to as the “Agency Maintenance Termination Date”). 

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Issuer and Japan may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the
appointment of the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent or appoint any additional Agents pursuant to Section 2 hereof for any or all of the purposes stated herein; provided, however, that until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date,
the Issuer and Japan will at all times maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be surrendered for payment and where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange,
as provided in the Securities, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer and Japan in respect of Securities and this Agreement may be served, and further provided that the Issuer will ensure that it maintains a paying agent in an EU Member
State that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000. The Issuer and Japan will give
prompt written notice to the Fiscal Agent of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency and shall give notice thereof to holders of Securities by prompt
publication at least once in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in The City of New York (expected to be The Wall Street Journal) and in a daily newspaper in the

  
 Exh. 4.1-10

 
English language of general circulation in London, England (expected to be the Financial Times), provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such notices may be
given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, for communication by them to their respective participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper. Prior to appointing any replacement U.S. Representative of
the Fiscal Agent, the Issuer and/or Japan shall consult the Fiscal Agent and the Fiscal Agent shall recommend to the Issuer and Japan one or more financial institutions for the role of U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent, but for the avoidance
of doubt, the Issuer and Japan shall appoint a replacement U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent at their sole discretion. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of this subsection (c), (i) the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent may at any time resign as such agent
by giving written notice, mailed to the Issuer and to Japan in accordance with Section 15 hereof, of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective, provided that the Issuer and
Japan shall agree to such resignation (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed on
behalf of the Issuer and Japan and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective. Any resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent shall take effect upon the appointment by the Issuer and Japan, by an
instrument in writing, of a successor Fiscal Agent (which shall meet the qualifications prescribed in Section 8(a) hereof), successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent and the acceptance of such appointment
by such successor. In the event the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent resigns its appointment hereunder and no successor Fiscal Agent or Agent is appointed within 60 days after such resignation in place of the resigning Fiscal Agent or Agent, the
Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Issuer may appoint a successor Fiscal Agent or Agent, which appointment shall be deemed to be an appointment by the Issuer under this Section 8 and the Fiscal Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of
such appointment. Upon its resignation or removal, the Fiscal Agent or such Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation for the services theretofore rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement by the Issuer of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses theretofore incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder. 
 (d) In
case at any time the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent shall resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors or consent to the appointment of a receiver of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if an order of any court shall be entered
approving any petition filed by or against it under the provisions of Chapter 7 or 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code or under the provisions of any similar legislation, or if a receiver or custodian of it or of all or any substantial part of
its property shall be appointed or if any public officer shall have taken charge or control of the Fiscal Agent or any other Agent or of its property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a successor Fiscal
Agent (qualified as aforesaid) or successor of any other Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer and Japan, by an instrument in writing, filed with the successor Fiscal Agent or successor of such other Agent, as the case may be. Upon the appointment
as aforesaid of a successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent and acceptance by such successor Fiscal Agent or successor of such other Agent, as the case may be, of such appointment, the Fiscal Agent or such other Agent so superseded
shall cease to be the Fiscal Agent or such other Agent hereunder. 
 (e) Any successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other
Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer and Japan an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Fiscal Agent or any other Agent, as the case
may be, hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment to it of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent shall be
entitled to receive, all monies, securities or other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Fiscal Agent or any other Agent hereunder, as the case may be. The Issuer and Japan shall

  
 Exh. 4.1-11

 
give notice of the appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent or successor of any other Agent to holders of Securities by prompt publication at least once in a daily newspaper in the English
language of general circulation in The City of New York (expected to be the Wall Street Journal) and in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London, England (expected to be the Financial Times),
provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, for communication by them to their respective participants in substitution
for publication in any such newspaper. 
 (f) Any corporation or bank into which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative
hereunder or any other Agent may be merged or converted, or any corporation or bank with which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or any other Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation or bank resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or any other Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or bank to which the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or any other Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or
substantially all of the assets and business of the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or such Agent, as the case may be, provided that it shall be qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative or
successor of any other Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 

9. FURTHER ISSUES. The Issuer may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the Securities, create
and issue further securities ranking paripassu with the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further securities or except for the first payment of interest
following the issue date of such further securities) and so that such further securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities. Any
further securities shall be issued with the benefit of an agreement supplemental to this Agreement. 
 10. PAYMENT OF STAMP
TAXES AND OTHER DUTIES. The Issuer will pay all stamp taxes and other duties, if any, to which this Agreement or the original issuance of the Securities shall be subject.

in its records relating to the performance by the Issuer and Japan of their obligations under the Securities and the guarantee thereof and hereunder. 
 12. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be modified or amended by the Issuer, Japan, the Fiscal Agent and any transfer agent, without the consent of the holder of any Security, for the purpose of adding to the
covenants of the Issuer or Japan for the benefit of such holders, surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or Japan, securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements of the Securities or otherwise, curing any ambiguity, or
curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein, or in any manner which the Issuer, Japan, the Fiscal Agent and any transfer agent may mutually deem necessary or desirable, which shall not be inconsistent with any
Security and which shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of the holders of the Securities. 
 13.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York except with respect to its authorization and execution by the Issuer and Japan and any other matters required to be governed by
the laws of Japan, which shall be governed by the laws of Japan. 
 14. APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR SERVICE. The Issuer hereby
appoints the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent for the time being as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon which process may be served in any action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the Securities which may
be instituted in any State or Federal court in The City of New York by the Fiscal Agent or the holder of any Security and the Issuer expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action. Such appointment, which is

  
 Exh. 4.1-12

 
hereby accepted by such U.S. Representative, shall be irrevocable until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date unless and until a successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor
Fiscal Agent has been appointed as the Issuer’s Authorized Agent for such purpose and such successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent shall have accepted such appointment. The Issuer will take any and all
action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent at the address indicated in Section 15

Issuer at its address as provided in Section 15 hereof) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based on the Securities may also be instituted by
the holder of a Security in any competent court in Japan. The Issuer hereby waives irrevocably any immunity to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the Securities which may be instituted as
provided in this Section in any State or Federal court in The City of New York or in any competent court in Japan. This waiver is intended to be effective upon execution of this Agreement without any further act by the Issuer before any such court,
and introduction of this Agreement into evidence shall be final and conclusive evidence of such waiver.

 JAPAN BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION 

[Title of security] 
 1. JAPAN BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION (herein called the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
[currency]                     or such other Aggregate Principal Amount as may be shown in the Schedule hereto on
                    ,
                    , and to pay to the Registered Holder (as defined in paragraph 3) of this DTC Global Security interest on said principal
sum from                     ,
                    or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in
arrears on                     and
                    in each year, commencing
                    ,
                    , at the rate of
                    per centum
(                    %) per annum, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for. The interest so payable on any
                    and
                    , together with any Additional Amounts (as defined in paragraph 2) payable as set out herein, will be paid to the person
in whose name this DTC Global Security is registered at [A.M/P.M.], New York City time, on the fifteenth day before such interest payment occurs (the “record date”), whether or not the record date is a business day. Whenever it is
necessary to compute any amount of interest in respect of the Securities (as defined in paragraph 3) other than with regular semi-annual payments, that interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 Payments on this DTC Global Security will be made in accordance with any laws, regulations or administrative practices
applicable to the Issuer and the paying agent(s) in respect thereof, including the requirements applicable under Japanese tax law. Payment of the principal of and interest on this DTC Global Security shall be made in immediately available funds in
the lawful money of [name of country] as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal of this DTC Global Security shall be made upon surrender of this DTC Global Security at the office of
the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3) in [name of city], or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at such other place or places as are designated by the Issuer, which, for the purposes of this DTC Global Security, shall include the
office of the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by [currency] check, or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee, and payments of interest on this DTC
Global Security shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to the provisions hereof and to applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on the due date for such payment to the Registered Holder hereof at the address of the
Registered Holder listed in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9) or, upon written notice to the Fiscal Agent by such Registered Holder no later than the record date for such payment, by wire transfer to an account of the Registered
Holder. 
 In the Fiscal Agency Agreement (as defined in paragraph 3), the Issuer and Japan have agreed that until the date on
which the Securities (as defined in paragraph 3) shall have been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, or become due and payable and monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all of the Securities shall have been made
available for payment and either paid or returned to the Issuer or Japan as provided herein (the “Agency Maintenance Termination Date”), the Issuer and Japan will at all times maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment. 
 2. a) All payments of principal and interest
by the Issuer in respect of this DTC Global Security will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf
of Japan, or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (“Taxes”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”)
as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by any beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in
respect of this DTC Global Security in the absence of such withholding or deduction, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to this DTC Global Security; 

(i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security that is an individual
non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Taxes in respect of this 

  
 Exh. 4.1-17

 
DTC Global Security by reason of such beneficial owner’s (a) having some connection with Japan other than the mere holding of, or the enforcement of its rights under, this DTC Global
Security or (b) being a person having a special relationship with the Issuer as described in Article 6, paragraph 4 of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (Law No. 26 of 1957, as amended) (a “specially-related
party of Issuer”); or 
 (ii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this DTC Global
Security that would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but that fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide the Interest Recipient Information (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) or to submit the Claim for Exemption
(as defined in paragraph 2(b)) to the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3), or whose Interest Recipient Information is not duly communicated through the Participant (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) and the relevant international clearing
organization to the Fiscal Agent; or 
 (iii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this
DTC Global Security that is for Japanese tax purposes treated as an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) that complies with the requirement to
provide the Interest Recipient Information or to submit a Claim for Exemption and (B) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies the Fiscal Agent of its status as not being subject to Taxes to be withheld or
deducted by the Issuer by reason of such resident or Japanese corporation receiving interest on this DTC Global Security through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it); or 

(iv) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined in this paragraph 2(a)), except to the extent that any
beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts for payment at the expiration of such 30-day period; or 
 (v) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the
conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or 

(vi) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security who would have been able to
avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this DTC Global Security to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union. 
 As used herein, the “Relevant Date” means the date on which such payment first becomes due, except that, if the amount of the monies payable has not been received by the Fiscal Agent on or prior
to such due date, it means the date on which, the full amount of such monies having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been duly published as set forth in paragraph 6. 

(b) For the purpose of sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above: 

(i) where this DTC Global Security is held through a certain participant of an international clearing organization or a
certain financial intermediary (each, a “Participant”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security is (A) an
individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related party of Issuer) or (B) a Japanese financial institution falling under certain categories prescribed by the Act on Special Measures Concerning
Taxation of Japan, and the cabinet order (Cabinet Order No. 43 of March 31, 1957, as amended) thereunder (together with ministerial ordinances and other regulations thereunder, the “Act”) (a “Designated Financial
Institution”), all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of this DTC Global Security, provide certain information prescribed by the Act to enable the Participant to
establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for Taxes to be withheld or deducted (the “Interest Recipient Information”) and advise the Participant if such beneficial owner ceases to be so exempted (including the
case where the beneficial owner who is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation became a specially-related party of Issuer); and 

  
 Exh. 4.1-18

 (ii) where this DTC Global Security is not held by a Participant, in order
to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of, Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this DTC Global Security is (A) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a
specially-related party of Issuer) or (B) a Designated Financial Institution, all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall, prior to each time on which it receives interest, submit to the Fiscal Agent a claim for exemption from

relevant interest payment date, the amount of interest and the fact that such beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Claim for Exemption, together with the documentary evidence regarding its identity and residence.

 3. This DTC
Global Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), dated as of
                    ,
                    (New York City time) /
                    ,
                    (Tokyo time), entered into by and among the Issuer, Japan, [NAME OF FISCAL AGENT], as Fiscal Agent, Principal Paying Agent
and Transfer Agent, and [NAME OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE], as the U.S. representative of the Fiscal Agent, Principal Paying Agent and Transfer Agent (the “U.S. Representative”), with respect to the Securities, copies of which Fiscal Agency
Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the office of the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent at [U.S. REPRESENTATIVE’S ADDRESS]. [NAME OF FISCAL AGENT] and [NAME OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE] in its capacity as U.S. Representative,
and their successors as Fiscal Agent are herein called the “Fiscal Agent”. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to [currency]
                    outstanding at any one time (which amount may be increased as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement). The Securities are
issuable only as fully registered Securities without coupons in denominations of [currency]                     and integral multiples of
[currency]                     in excess thereof. In acting under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agent is acting solely as agent for
the Issuer and Japan and does not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with the Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security except as specifically described below. As used herein, the term “Registered Holder”
of a Security means the person in whose name such Security is registered in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9). 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this DTC Global Security, this DTC Global Security may be
transferred to, or exchanged for Securities in definitive registered form registered in the name of, a person other than DTC, a nominee of DTC or a successor of DTC or its nominee if (i) DTC (a) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as depositary for such DTC Global Security or (b) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at a time when it is required to be, and in either such case (a) or
(b) a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that DTC is no longer so registered or (ii) the Issuer in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing
that a DTC Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable. Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for this DTC Global Security will be registered in such names as an authorized representative of DTC, pursuant to
instructions that direct or indirect Participants in DTC shall request, and issued in denominations of [currency]                     and
integral multiples of [currency]                     in excess thereof. 

4. This DTC Global Security is subject to retirement or redemption as hereinafter provided. Redemption of this DTC Global Security
pursuant to this paragraph 4 shall be made upon the notice, in the manner and with the effect hereinafter set forth. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-19

 5. In order to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities as the
same shall become due, the Issuer does hereby agree to pay to the Fiscal Agent at its office in [name of city], in [currency], the amounts set forth below in this paragraph, to be applied by the Fiscal Agent as hereinafter set forth: 

(a) The Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent semi-annually on a date not later than each interest payment date (or such other date when
interest is payable, as provided in paragraph 8(b)) an amount sufficient to pay the interest becoming due on all Securities on such interest payment date. 
 (b) On a date not later than the redemption or maturity date (or such other date when principal is payable as provided in paragraph 8(b)) of this DTC Global Security, the Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal
Agent an amount which, together with any monies then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose, shall be equal to the entire amount of principal and interest to be due on such redemption or maturity date on the Securities called for
redemption or then outstanding. 
 (c) As early as practicable on each interest payment date and on the redemption or maturity
date (or on such other date on which interest or principal is payable, as provided in paragraph 8(b)), the Fiscal Agent shall from funds paid to it by the Issuer pay, or procure the payment of, [currency] amount due in respect of Securities
represented by this DTC Global Security by wire transfer of same day funds for value on the due date for payment to DTC for payment pro rata to the relevant accountholders in accordance with DTC’s settlement procedures. 

6. The Securities (including this DTC Global Security) may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, on
not more than sixty (60) days’ and not less than thirty (30) days’ irrevocable notice to the Registered Holders of the Securities, at a redemption price for each Security equal to the principal amount thereof, together with
accrued interest to the date fixed by the Issuer for redemption and any Additional Amounts, if the Issuer determines and certifies to the Fiscal Agent immediately prior to the giving of the notice that, as a result of any change in, or amendment to,
the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of Japan (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of Japan) affecting any Taxes, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of
these laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after
                    ,
                    , the Issuer is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay any Additional Amounts for the Securities
that cannot be avoided by measures reasonably available to the Issuer; provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make the withholding
if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. Prior to the publication and sending of any notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of independent counsel of
recognized standing or an opinion of a tax consultant of recognized standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist. The Fiscal Agent shall accept such opinion of counsel or tax consultant, as the case may be, as sufficient
evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, and it shall be conclusive and binding on the Registered Holders of the Securities. 
 Notice of intention to redeem the Securities, specifying the redemption date and the place or places where the redemption price will be paid, shall be given by publication in a daily newspaper in the
English language, of general circulation in The City of New York (expected to be the Wall Street Journal) and in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London, England (expected to be the Financial Times),
at least once prior to the redemption date, such publication to be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such
notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, for communication by them to their respective Participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper. In case, by reason of the temporary or
permanent suspension of the publication or general circulation of any newspaper or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible or impracticable to publish such notice in the manner herein provided, then such method of publication in lieu
thereof as shall be approved by the Fiscal Agent 

  
 Exh. 4.1-20

 
shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice. Notice having been so given, the Securities so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date so designated at
the redemption price, and upon surrender thereof, the Securities will be paid at the redemption price together with all accrued interest (unless the redemption date is a date for the payment of interest) in [currency], at the place or places
specified in such notice. From and after the redemption date, if monies for the redemption of all the Securities to be redeemed shall have been available at the office of the Fiscal Agent for redemption on the redemption date, the Securities so
called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and the only right of the Registered Holders of the Securities shall be to receive payment of the redemption price in accordance with the terms of such Securities. 

7. This DTC Global Security will become void unless presented for payment within a period of ten years from the Relevant Date (as defined
in paragraph 2(a)). 
 8. (a) In the event of a default by the Issuer (i) in the payment when due of principal of or
interest on any of the Securities and the continuance of such default for a period of thirty (30) days, or (ii) in the performance of any other covenant contained in the Securities and the continuance of such default for a period of ninety
(90) days after written notice thereof to the Issuer from the Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security shall have been received by the Fiscal Agent, then in any such case the principal amount of this DTC Global Security shall, at the
option of and upon written demand to the Fiscal Agent at said office by the Registered Holder hereof, mature and become due and payable upon the date that such written demand is received by the Fiscal Agent, unless prior to such date the Issuer
shall have cured all such defaults in respect of all the Securities. Any amount of interest or principal so in default in respect of this DTC Global Security shall bear interest (if, and to the extent permitted by law) at the rate specified in the
title of this DTC Global Security until such default shall have been cured. 
 (b) If a date for payment of principal or
interest on this DTC Global Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due and no
interest will accrue in respect of such delay. For purposes of this paragraph 8(b), “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings
in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in: (a) the relevant place of payment and (b) The City of New York, London and Tokyo. 
 9. The transfer of this DTC Global Security is registrable on the Security Register (as herein defined) upon surrender of this DTC Global Security for registration at the office of the U.S. Representative
of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the Registered Holder hereof or such Registered
Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone) for the
purpose of receiving payment hereon and for all other purposes, whether or not this DTC Global Security shall be overdue. Upon surrender of this DTC Global Security by an authorized representative of DTC, for registration of transfer, the Issuer
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, and registered in such
name or names as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, dated the date of authentication thereof and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer covenants that, until the Agency
Maintenance Termination Date, it will at all times maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency for the transfer and registration of transfers, as aforesaid, of Securities and where notices and demands to or upon
the Issuer or Japan in respect of the Securities and the Fiscal Agency Agreement may be served. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent (acting through its U.S. Representative) as its agent for such purpose. The Issuer has also agreed to cause to
be kept at the office of the Fiscal Agent in [name of city] a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for such registration of transfers. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-21

 In the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement,
Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of authorized denominations bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer covenants that until the Agency Maintenance
Termination Date, it will at all times maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be surrendered in exchange for Securities in other authorized denominations in accordance with the terms
hereof and of the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent (acting through its U.S. Representative) as its agent for such purpose. 
 Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any transfer agent will be required to (i) exchange or register the transfer of any Security selected for redemption; or (ii) exchange or register the transfer of
any Security for the period from the record date preceding the due date for any payment to the payment date with respect to such Security. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Any new DTC Global Security delivered pursuant to this paragraph 9 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such registration
or exchange. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, exchange or registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent (and any other agent appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement) may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other
governmental charge required to be paid in connection therewith. 
 10. In case this DTC Global Security shall at any time
become mutilated or destroyed or stolen or lost then, provided that this DTC Global Security, or evidence of the destruction, theft or loss thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be
required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent or its U.S. Representative, a replacement DTC Global Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement
will be issued by the Issuer and, at its request, authenticated and delivered by the Fiscal Agent in exchange for the DTC Global Security so mutilated, or in lieu of the DTC Global Security destroyed or stolen or lost; and provided further that, in
the case of destroyed, stolen or lost Securities, the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to them that such Securities were destroyed, stolen or lost, and shall also have received an indemnity satisfactory to
each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a replacement DTC Global Security shall be borne by the Registered Holder of the DTC Global Security
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost. Upon the issuance of any replacement DTC Global Security under this paragraph 10, the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith. In case such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost DTC Global Security has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new DTC Global Security, pay or cause to be paid such DTC Global Security. 
 Every replacement DTC Global Security issued pursuant to this paragraph 10 in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost DTC Global Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost DTC Global Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. Any replacement DTC Global Security delivered pursuant to
this paragraph 10 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such replacement. 
 The provisions
of this paragraph 10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Securities. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-22

 11. Subject to paragraph 13, the Issuer 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 DTC Global Security and its guarantee by Japan, and to constitute the same the valid obligations of the Issuer and of Japan,
respectively, in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of Japan. 
 12. The Fiscal Agency Agreement may be modified or amended by the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent, and the terms and conditions of the Securities may be modified or amended by the Issuer and Japan,
without the consent of the Registered Holder of any DTC Global Security for the purpose of adding to the covenants of the Issuer or Japan for the benefit of the Registered Holders, surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or Japan,
securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements of the Securities or otherwise, curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision therein, or in any manner which the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent may
mutually deem necessary or desirable, which, in the case of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, shall not be inconsistent with the Securities, and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Registered Holders of the Securities in any material
respect, to all of which each Registered Holder of any DTC Global Security shall, by acceptance thereof, consent. 
 13. This
DTC Global Security shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until this DTC Global Security has been authenticated by [NAME OF FISCAL AGENT], or its successor, as Fiscal Agent. 

14. This DTC Global Security shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York except with
respect to its authorization and execution by the Issuer and any other matters required to be governed by the laws of Japan. 

15. As more fully set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Issuer has appointed the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent for the
time being as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action arising out of or based on the Securities or the Fiscal Agency Agreement which may be instituted in any State or Federal court in The City of New York by the
Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security, and the Issuer hereby expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of such action. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, unless and
until a successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer as its authorized agent for such purpose and such successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent
shall have accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based on the Securities may be instituted by the Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security in any competent court in Japan. The Issuer hereby
waives irrevocably any immunity to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action based on the Securities which may be instituted by the Registered Holder of this DTC Global Security in any State or Federal court in The City of New York or in
any competent court in Japan. This waiver is intended to be effective upon execution of this DTC Global Security without any further act by the Issuer before any such court, and introduction of this DTC Global Security into evidence shall be final
and conclusive evidence of such waiver. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-23

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this DTC Global Security to be executed with the
signature of the Governor or a duly authorized agent of the Issuer in Tokyo, Japan or the facsimile signature of the Governor or a duly authorized agent of the Issuer in The City of New York, State of New York, United States of America.

 JAPAN BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION 

[Title of security] 
 1. JAPAN BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION (herein called the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                    , or registered assigns, the principal sum of [currency]
                    or such other Aggregate Principal Amount as may be shown in the Schedule hereto on
                    ,
                    , and to pay to the Registered Holder (as defined in paragraph 3) of this International Global Security interest on said
principal sum from                     ,
                    or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in
arrears on                     and
                    in each year, commencing
                    ,
                    , at the rate of
                    per centum
(                    %) per annum, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for. The interest so payable on any
                    and
                    , together with any Additional Amounts (as defined in paragraph 2) payable as set out herein, will be paid to the person
in whose name this International Global Security is registered at [A.M./P.M.], New York City time, on the fifteenth day before such interest payment occurs (the “record date”), whether or not the record date is a business day. Whenever it
is necessary to compute any amount of interest in respect of the Securities (as defined in paragraph 3) other than with regular semi-annual payments, that interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 Payments on this International Global Security will be made in accordance with any laws, regulations or administrative
practices applicable to the Issuer and the paying agent(s) in respect thereof, including the requirements applicable under Japanese tax law. Payment of the principal of and interest on this International Global Security shall be made in immediately
available funds in the lawful money of [name of country] as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal of this International Global Security shall be made upon surrender of this
International Global Security at the office of the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3) in [name of city], or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at such other place or places as are designated by the Issuer, by [currency], or by wire
transfer to an account maintained by the payee, and payments of interest on this International Global Security shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to the provisions hereof and to applicable laws and regulations, by check
mailed on the due date for such payment to the Registered Holder hereof at the address of the Registered Holder listed in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9) or, upon written notice to the Fiscal Agent by such Registered Holder no
later than the record date for such payment, by wire transfer to an account of the Registered Holder. 
 In the Fiscal Agency
Agreement (as defined in paragraph 3), the Issuer and Japan have agreed that until the date on which the Securities (as defined in paragraph 3) shall have been delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation, or become due and payable and monies
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all of the Securities shall have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to the Issuer or Japan as provided herein (the “Agency Maintenance Termination Date”), the
Issuer and Japan will at all times maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment. 

2. b) All payments of principal and interest by the Issuer in respect of this International Global Security will be made without
withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan, or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax
(“Taxes”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by any
beneficial owner of this International Global Security after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of this International Global Security in the absence
of such withholding or deduction, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to this International Global Security; 
 (i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this International Global Security that is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Taxes
in respect of 

  
 Exh. 4.1-28

 
this International Global Security by reason of such beneficial owner’s (a) having some connection with Japan other than the mere holding of, or the enforcement of its rights under,
this International Global Security or (b) being a person having a special relationship with the Issuer as described in Article 6, paragraph 4 of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (Law No. 26 of 1957, as amended) (a
“specially-related party of Issuer”); or 
 (ii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial
owner of this International Global Security that would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but that fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide the Interest Recipient Information (as defined in paragraph 2(b))
or to submit the Claim for Exemption (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) to the Fiscal Agent (as defined in paragraph 3), or whose Interest Recipient Information is not duly communicated through the Participant (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) and
Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) to the Fiscal Agent; or 
 (iii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, any beneficial owner of this International Global Security that is for Japanese tax purposes treated as an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese
corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution (as defined in paragraph 2(b)) that complies with the requirement to provide the Interest Recipient Information or to submit a Claim for Exemption and (B) an individual
resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies the Fiscal Agent of its status as not being subject to Taxes to be withheld or deducted by the Issuer by reason of such resident or Japanese corporation receiving interest on this
International Global Security through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it); or 
 (iv) more than 30
days after the Relevant Date (as defined in this paragraph 2(a)), except to the extent that any beneficial owner of this International Global Security would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts for payment at the expiration of such 30-day
period; or 
 (v) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to
be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or
introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or 
 (vi) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a beneficial
owner of this International Global Security who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this International Global Security to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union. 

As used herein, the “Relevant Date” means the date on which such payment first becomes due, except that, if the amount of the
monies payable has not been received by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date, it means the date on which, the full amount of such monies having been so received, notice to that effect shall have been duly published as set forth in paragraph
6. 
 (b) For the purpose of sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above: 

(i) where this International Global Security is held through a certain participant of Euroclear or Clearstream or a
certain financial intermediary (each, a “Participant”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this International Global Security is
(A) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related party of Issuer) or (B) a Japanese financial institution falling under certain categories prescribed by the Act on Special Measures
Concerning Taxation of Japan, and the cabinet order (Cabinet Order No. 43 of March 31, 1957, as amended) thereunder (together with ministerial ordinances and other regulations thereunder, the “Act”) (a “Designated Financial
Institution”), all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of this International Global Security, provide certain information prescribed by the Act to enable the
Participant to establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for Taxes to be withheld or deducted (the “Interest Recipient Information”) and advise the Participant if such beneficial owner ceases to be so exempted
(including the case where the beneficial owner who is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation became a specially-related party of Issuer); and 

  
 Exh. 4.1-29

 (ii) where this International Global Security is not held by a Participant,
in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of, Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner of this International Global Security is (A) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese
corporation (other than a specially-related party of Issuer) or (B) a Designated Financial Institution, all in accordance with the Act, such beneficial owner shall, prior to each time on which it receives interest, submit to the Fiscal Agent a
claim for exemption from withholding tax (Hikazei Tekiyo Shinkokusho) (a “Claim for Exemption”) in the form obtainable from the Fiscal Agent stating, among other things, the name and address of such beneficial owner, the title of
this International Global Security, the relevant interest payment date, the amount of interest and the fact that such beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Claim for Exemption, together with the documentary evidence regarding its identity and
residence. 
 Any reference in this International Global Security or the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal
Agency Agreement to principal or interest shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount which may be payable under this paragraph 2. 
 3. This International Global Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement (the
“Fiscal Agency Agreement”), dated as of                     ,
                    (New York City time) /
                    ,
                    (Tokyo time), entered into by and among the Issuer, Japan, [NAME OF FISCAL AGENT], as Fiscal Agent, Principal Paying Agent
and Transfer Agent, and [NAME OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE], as the U.S. representative of the Fiscal Agent (the “U.S. Representative”), with respect to the Securities, copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for
inspection at the office of the Fiscal Agent at [FISCAL AGENT’S ADDRESS]. [NAME OF FISCAL AGENT] and [NAME OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE], in its capacity as U.S. Representative, and their successors as Fiscal Agent are herein called the “Fiscal
Agent”. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to [currency]
                    outstanding at any one time (which amount may be increased as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement). The Securities are
issuable only as fully registered Securities without coupons in denominations of [currency]                     and integral multiples of
[currency]                     in excess thereof. In acting under the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Fiscal Agent is acting solely as agent for
the Issuer and Japan and does not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with the Registered Holder of this International Global Security except as specifically described below. As used herein, the term “Registered
Holder” of a Security means the person in whose name such Security is registered in the Security Register (as defined in paragraph 9). 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Fiscal Agency Agreement or this International Global Security, this International Global Security may be transferred to, or exchanged for Securities in
definitive registered form registered in the name of, a person other than a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, a nominee of a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream or successor of a common depositary for Euroclear and
Clearstream or its nominee if Euroclear or Clearstream notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such International Global Security and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after
receiving such notice, or the Issuer, in its sole discretion, instructs the Fiscal Agent in writing that the International Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable. Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for
this International Global Security will be registered in such names as an authorized representative of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, pursuant to instructions that direct or indirect Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream
shall request, and issued in denominations of [currency]                     and integral multiples of [currency]
                    in excess thereof. 
 4. This International Global Security is subject to retirement or redemption as hereinafter provided. Redemption of this International Global Security pursuant to this paragraph 4 shall be made upon the
notice, in the manner and with the effect hereinafter set forth. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-30

 5. In order to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities as the
same shall become due, the Issuer does hereby agree to pay to the Fiscal Agent at its office in [name of city] in [currency], the amounts set forth below in this paragraph, to be applied by the Fiscal Agent as hereinafter set forth: 

(a) The Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent semi-annually on a date not later than each interest payment date (or such other date when
interest is payable, as provided in paragraph 8(b)) an amount sufficient to pay the interest becoming due on all Securities on such interest payment date. 
 (b) On a date not later than the redemption or maturity date (or such other date when principal is payable as provided in paragraph 8(b)) of this International Global Security, the Issuer shall pay to the
Fiscal Agent an amount which, together with any monies then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose, shall be equal to the entire amount of principal and interest to be due on such redemption or maturity date on the Securities called
for redemption or then outstanding. 
 (c) As early as practicable on each interest payment date and on the redemption or
maturity date (or on such other date on which interest or principal is payable, as provided in paragraph 8(b)), the Fiscal Agent shall from funds paid to it by the Issuer pay, or procure the payment of, [currency] amount due in respect of Securities
represented by this International Global Security by check or by wire transfer of same day funds for value on the due date for payment to the Registered Holder of this International Global Security for payment pro rata to the owners of beneficial
ownership interests in the Securities represented by this International Global Security in accordance with Euroclear and Clearstream’s settlement procedures. 
 6. The Securities (including this International Global Security) may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, on not more than sixty (60) days’ and not less
than thirty (30) days’ irrevocable notice to the Registered Holders of the Securities, at a redemption price for each Security equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed by the Issuer for
redemption and any Additional Amounts, if the Issuer determines and certifies to the Fiscal Agent immediately prior to the giving of the notice that, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings
promulgated thereunder) of Japan (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of Japan) affecting any Taxes, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of these laws, treaties, regulations or rulings
(including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after
                    ,
                    , the Issuer is, or on the next interest payment date would be, required to pay any Additional Amounts for the Securities
that cannot be avoided by measures reasonably available to the Issuer; provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make the withholding
if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. Prior to the publication and sending of any notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of independent counsel of
recognized standing or an opinion of a tax consultant of recognized standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to above exist. The Fiscal Agent shall accept such opinion of counsel or tax consultant, as the case may be, as sufficient
evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, and it shall be conclusive and binding on the Registered Holders of the Securities. 
 Notice of intention to redeem the Securities, specifying the redemption date and the place or places where the redemption price will be paid, shall be given by publication in a daily newspaper in the
English language, of general circulation in The City of New York (expected to be the Wall Street Journal) and in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in London, England (expected to be the Financial Times),
at least once prior to the redemption date, such publication to be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, provided that for so long as the Securities are held in book-entry form such
notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, for communication by them to their respective Participants in substitution for publication in any such newspaper. In case, by reason of the temporary or
permanent suspension of the publication or general circulation of any newspaper or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible or impracticable to publish such notice in the 

  
 Exh. 4.1-31

 
manner herein provided, then such method of publication in lieu thereof as shall be approved by the Fiscal Agent shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice. Notice having been so
given, the Securities so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date so designated at the redemption price, and upon surrender thereof, the Securities will be paid at the redemption price together with all accrued
interest (unless the redemption date is a date for the payment of interest) in [currency], at the place or places specified in such notice. From and after the redemption date, if monies for the redemption of all the Securities to be redeemed shall
have been available at the office of the Fiscal Agent for redemption on the redemption date, the Securities so called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and the only right of the Registered Holders of the Securities shall be to receive
payment of the redemption price in accordance with the terms of such Securities. 
 7. This International Global Security will
become void unless presented for payment within a period of ten years from the Relevant Date (as defined in paragraph 2(a)). 

8. (a) In the event of a default by the Issuer (i) in the payment when due of principal of or interest on any of the Securities
and the continuance of such default for a period of thirty (30) days, or (ii) in the performance of any other covenant contained in the Securities and the continuance of such default for a period of ninety (90) days after written
notice thereof to the Issuer from the Registered Holder of this International Global Security shall have been received by the Fiscal Agent, then in any such case the principal amount of this International Global Security shall, at the option of and
upon written demand to the Fiscal Agent at said office by the Registered Holder hereof, mature and become due and payable upon the date that such written demand is received by the Fiscal Agent, unless prior to such date the Issuer shall have cured
all such defaults in respect of all the Securities. Any amount of interest or principal so in default in respect of this International Global Security shall bear interest (if, and to the extent permitted by law) at the rate specified in the title of
this International Global Security until such default shall have been cured. 
 (b) If a date for payment of principal or
interest on this International Global Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due
and no interest will accrue in respect of such delay. For purposes of this paragraph 8(b), “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including
dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in: (a) the relevant place of payment and (b) The City of New York, London and Tokyo. 
 9. The transfer of this International Global Security is registrable on the Security Register (as herein defined) upon surrender of this International Global Security for registration at the office of the
Fiscal Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the Registered Holder hereof or such Registered Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon
surrender of this International Global Security for registration of transfer by the Registered Holder hereof, the Issuer 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, and registered in such name or names as may be requested by the Registered Holder hereof, dated the date of authentication thereof and bearing the
guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent may deem and treat the Registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon
made by anyone) for the purpose of receiving payment hereon and for all other purposes, whether or not this International Global Security shall be overdue. The Issuer covenants that, until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, it will at all
times maintain in [name of city] an office or agency for the transfer and registration of transfers, as aforesaid, of Securities and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer or Japan in respect of the Securities and the Fiscal Agency
Agreement may be served. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent as its agent for such purpose and has agreed to cause to be kept at the office of the Fiscal Agent in [name of city] a register (the register maintained in such office being herein
sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for such registration of transfers. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-32

 In the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement,
Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of authorized denominations bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. The Issuer covenants that until the Agency Maintenance
Termination Date, it will at all times maintain an office or agency in [name of city] where Securities may be surrendered in exchange for Securities in other authorized denominations in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Fiscal Agency
Agreement. The Issuer has appointed the Fiscal Agent as its agent for such purpose. 
 Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any transfer
agent will be required to (i) exchange or register the transfer of any Security selected for redemption; or (ii) exchange or register the transfer of any Security for the period from the record date preceding the due date for any payment
to the payment date with respect to such Security. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Any new International Global
Security delivered pursuant to this paragraph 9 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such registration or exchange. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, exchange or registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent (and any other agent appointed by the
Issuer pursuant to Section 2 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement) may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection therewith. 

10. In case this International Global Security shall at any time become mutilated or destroyed or stolen or lost then, provided that this
International Global Security, or evidence of the destruction, theft or loss thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent or
its U.S. Representative, a replacement International Global Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing the guarantee of Japan in the form provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement will be issued by the Issuer and, at its request,
authenticated and delivered by the Fiscal Agent in exchange for the International Global Security so mutilated, or in lieu of the International Global Security destroyed or stolen or lost; and provided further that, in the case of destroyed, stolen
or lost Securities, the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to them that such Securities were destroyed, stolen or lost, and shall also have received an indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses
and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a replacement International Global Security shall be borne by the Registered Holder of the International Global Security
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost. Upon the issuance of any replacement International Global Security under this paragraph 10, the Issuer, Japan or the Fiscal Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, stamp or other
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith. In case such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost International Global
Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new International Global Security, pay or cause to be paid such International Global Security. 

Every replacement International Global Security issued pursuant to this paragraph 10 in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, stolen or lost International Global Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer guaranteed by Japan, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost International Global Security shall be
at any time enforceable by anyone. Any replacement International Global Security delivered pursuant to this paragraph 10 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from such replacement. 

The provisions of this paragraph 10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Securities. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-33

 11. Subject to paragraph 13, the Issuer 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 International Global Security and its guarantee by Japan, and to constitute the same the valid obligations of the Issuer and
of Japan, respectively, in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with the applicable laws of Japan. 
 12. The Fiscal Agency Agreement may be modified or amended by the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal Agent, and the terms and conditions of the Securities may be modified or amended by the Issuer and Japan,
without the consent of the Registered Holder of any International Global Security for the purpose of adding to the covenants of the Issuer or Japan for the benefit of the Registered Holders, surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Issuer
or Japan, securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements of the Securities or otherwise, curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision therein, or in any manner which the Issuer, Japan and the Fiscal
Agent may mutually deem necessary or desirable, which, in the case of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, shall not be inconsistent with the Securities, and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Registered Holders of the Securities in any
material respect, to all of which each Registered Holder of any International Global Security shall, by acceptance thereof, consent. 
 13. This International Global Security shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until this International Global Security has been authenticated by [NAME OF FISCAL AGENT], or its
successor, as Fiscal Agent. 
 14. This International Global Security shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York except with respect to its authorization and execution by the Issuer and any other matters required to be governed by the laws of Japan. 
 15. As more fully set forth in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Issuer has appointed the U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent for the time being as its authorized agent upon which process may be served
in any action arising out of or based on the Securities or the Fiscal Agency Agreement which may be instituted in any State or Federal court in The City of New York by the Registered Holder of this International Global Security, and the Issuer
hereby expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of such action. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until the Agency Maintenance Termination Date, unless and until a successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or
successor Fiscal Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer as its authorized agent for such purpose and such successor U.S. Representative of the Fiscal Agent or successor Fiscal Agent shall have accepted such appointment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any action arising out of or based on the Securities may be instituted by the Registered Holder of this International Global Security in any competent court in Japan. The Issuer hereby waives irrevocably any immunity to which it might
otherwise be entitled in any action based on the Securities which may be instituted by the Registered Holder of this International Global Security in any State or Federal court in The City of New York or in any competent court in Japan. This waiver
is intended to be effective upon execution of this International Global Security without any further act by the Issuer before any such court, and introduction of this International Global Security into evidence shall be final and conclusive evidence
of such waiver. 

  
 Exh. 4.1-34

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this International Global Security to be executed
with the signature of the Governor or a duly authorized agent of the Issuer in Tokyo, Japan or the facsimile signature of the Governor or a duly authorized agent of the Issuer in The City of New York, State of New York, United States of America.
