TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONDS
1. General. (a) This Bond is one of a duly authorized Series of debt securities of the Republic of Indonesia (the “Republic”), designated as its 4.400% Bonds due 2029 (each Bond of this Series, a “Bond”, and collectively, the “Bonds”), and issued or to be issued in one or more Series pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 11, 2017, between the Republic, Bank Indonesia, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and the other parties named therein, as amended from time to time (the “Indenture”). The Holders of the Bonds will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. All capitalized terms used in this Bond but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Bond, the latter shall control for purposes of this Bond.
(b) The Bonds constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic, for which the full faith and credit of the Republic is pledged. The Bonds rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated Public External Indebtedness of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make payments under the Bonds ratably with payments being made under any other Public External Indebtedness.
(c) The Bonds are in fully registered form, without coupons in denominations of US$200,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The Bonds may be issued in certificated form (the “Certificated Securities”), or may be represented by one or more registered global securities (each, a “Global Bond”) held by or on behalf of the Depositary. Certificated Securities will be available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. The Bonds, exchanges and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 2.6 of the Indenture. Any Person in whose name a Bond shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, by all Persons and for all purposes as the absolute owner of such Bond regardless of any notice of ownership, theft, loss or any writing thereon.
(d) For the purposes of this paragraph 1 and paragraphs 4 and 6 below, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:
“Indebtedness” means any indebtedness for money borrowed or any guarantee of indebtedness for money borrowed which is issued by and in the name of the Republic and is backed by the full faith and credit of the Republic. As used in the preceding sentence, money borrowed “by and in the name of the Republic” shall not include the borrowings of any state-owned enterprise or other agency, authority, department or instrumentality which under the laws of the Republic constitutes a juridical entity or statutory body separate from the Republic so long as such Indebtedness does not carry the full faith and credit of the Republic.
“External Indebtedness” means Indebtedness which is denominated or payable by its terms in, or at the option of the holder thereof payable in, a currency or currencies other than the lawful currency of the Republic.
“Public External Indebtedness” means External Indebtedness which (i) is publicly issued or privately placed in the capital markets, (ii) is in the form of, or represented by, bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments or book entries and (iii) is, or is eligible to be, quoted, listed or ordinarily purchased and sold on any stock exchange, automated trading system or over-the-counter or other securities market.
R-1
“Security Interest” means any security interest, lien, pledge, mortgage, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance, security interest or preferential arrangement which has the practical effect of constituting a security interest with respect to the payment of any obligations with or from the proceeds of any assets or revenues of any kind whether in effect on the date the Indenture becomes effective or at any time thereafter.
2. Payments. (a) The Republic covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on, the Bonds and any other payments to be made by the Republic under the Bonds and the Indenture, at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the Bonds and the Indenture. Principal of the Bonds will be payable against surrender of such Bonds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City or, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at the office outside of the United States of a paying agent appointed pursuant to the Indenture (each, a “paying agent”), by U.S. dollar check drawn on, or by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Holder with, a bank located in New York City. Payment of interest or principal (including Additional Amounts (as defined below)) on Bonds will be made to the Persons in whose name such Bonds are registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day (as defined below), notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bonds upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided that if and to the extent the Republic shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Bonds are registered as of a subsequent record date established by the Republic by notice, as provided in paragraph 13 of these Terms, by or on behalf of the Republic to the Holders of the Bonds not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than 10 days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the case where such interest, principal or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts as defined below) is not punctually paid or duly provided for, the Trustee shall have the right to fix such subsequent record date, and, if fixed by the Trustee, such subsequent record date shall supersede any such subsequent record date fixed by the Republic. Payment of interest on Certificated Securities will be made (i) by a U.S. dollar check drawn on a bank in New York City mailed to the Holder at such Holder’s registered address or (ii) upon application by the Holder of at least US$1,000,000 in principal amount of Certificated Securities to the Trustee not later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Holder with a bank in New York City. Payment of interest on a Global Bond will be made (i) by a U.S. dollar check drawn on a bank in New York City delivered to the Depositary at its registered address or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Depositary with a bank in New York City. “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in New York City or the City of Jakarta (or in the city where the relevant paying or transfer agent is located) are authorized or obligated by law, regulation, or executive order to close.
(b) In any case where the date of payment of the principal, interest or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts) on, the Bonds shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts) will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on the Bonds will accrue as a result of the delay in payment.
(c) Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
(d) Any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or to any paying agent for the payment of the principal, interest or premium, if any, (including Additional Amounts) on any Bond and not applied but remaining unclaimed for one year after the date upon which such principal, interest or premium, if any, shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to or for the account of the Republic by the Trustee or such paying agent, upon the written request of the Republic and the Holder of such Bond shall thereafter look only to the Republic for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or such paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. The Republic shall cause all returned, unclaimed monies to be held in trust for the relevant Holder of the Bond until such time as the claims against the Republic for payment of such amounts shall have prescribed pursuant to paragraph 15 of these Terms.
R-2
(e) If the Republic at any time defaults in the payment of any principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Bonds, the Republic will pay interest on the amount in default (to the extent permitted by law), calculated for each day until paid, at the rate of 4.400% per annum, together with Additional Amounts, if applicable.
(f) The Bonds will not be subject to a sinking fund.
3. Additional Amounts. (a) The Republic will make all principal and interest payments on the Bonds, to the extent permitted by law, without withholding or deducting any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, assessments or other charges of whatever nature imposed by the Republic or any of its political subdivisions (“Indonesian Taxes”). If Indonesian law requires the Republic to withhold or deduct any Indonesian Taxes, the Republic will pay the Holders of Bonds such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) necessary to ensure that they receive the same amount as they would have received without any withholding or deduction. The Republic will not, however, pay any Additional Amounts in connection with any Indonesian Taxes that are imposed in connection with any of the following:
i. the Holder has or had some connection with the Republic other than merely owning or holding the Bonds or receiving principal and interest payments on the Bonds;
ii. any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
iii. any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of a holder or beneficial owner of a Bond to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Republic of such holder or beneficial owner or other person, if compliance with the requirement is a precondition to exemption from all or any portion of such withholding or deduction, provided that (a) the Republic or the Republic’s agent has notified the holders of such certification, identification or other reporting requirement at least 15 days before the applicable payment date and (b) in no event shall such holder’s or beneficial owner’s or other person’s obligation to satisfy such a requirement require such holder or beneficial owner or other person to provide any materially more onerous information, documents or other evidence than would be required to be provided had such holder or beneficial owner or other person been required to file Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and/or W-8IMY;
iv. the Holder has failed to present any such Bonds for payment (where such presentment is required) within 30 days after the date on which such payment has been made available to the Holder except to the extent that the Holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Bond for payment on the last of such 30 days; or
v. any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure by a holder or beneficial owner (or any financial institution through which the holder or beneficial owner holds any Bonds or through which payment on the Bonds is made) to comply with any certification, information, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements (including entering into and complying with an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service) imposed pursuant to, or under an intergovernmental agreement entered into between the United States and the government of another country in order to implement the requirements of, Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on the date of issuance of the Bonds or any successor or amended version of these provisions, to the extent such successor or amended version is not materially more onerous than these provisions as enacted on such date; or
R-3
vi. the Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder.
Any reference to “principal” or “interest” on the Bonds includes any Additional Amounts which may be payable on the Bonds.
(b) The Republic will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in the Republic or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein in respect of the creation, issue, execution, delivery or registration of the Bonds or any other document or instrument referred to therein.
4. Negative Pledge Covenant of Republic. So long as any Bond shall remain Outstanding, the Republic will not create or permit the creation of any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or any other security interest on any of its present or future assets or revenues, or any part thereof, to secure any Public External Indebtedness (as defined below), unless the Republic shall procure that all amounts payable under the Bonds are secured equally and ratably.
Notwithstanding the above, the Republic may create or permit the creation of any Security Interests:
i. securing Public External Indebtedness incurred, assumed or guaranteed by the Republic solely to finance or refinance the acquisition, construction or development of the property over which such Security Interest has been created or permitted to be created, provided that such Security Interest does not extend to any other property of the Republic; however, in the case of construction, the Security Interest may extend to: unimproved real property for the construction, any trust account into which the proceeds of the offering creating such Public External Indebtedness may be temporarily deposited pending use in the construction, and the revenues to be generated by the operation of, or loss or damage to, the property to be constructed;
ii. existing on any property or asset at the time of its acquisition (or arising after its acquisition pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to, and not in contemplation of, such acquisition), and extensions and renewals of such Security Interest limited to the original property or asset covered thereby and securing any extension or renewal of the original secured financing;
iii. arising out of the renewal, extension or replacement of any indebtedness permitted under paragraph 4 (ii) above; provided, however, that the principal amount of such Public External Indebtedness is not increased;
iv. arising in the ordinary course of borrowing activities of the Republic to secure Public External Indebtedness with a maturity of one year or less;
v. in existence as of the date of the issuance of the Bonds;
vi. pursuant to any order of attachment, distrain or similar legal process arising in connection with court proceedings which proceedings are being contested in good faith; or
R-4
vii. arising by operation of law, provided that any such Security Interest is not created or permitted to be created by the Republic for the purpose of securing any Public External Indebtedness.
5. Optional Redemption. (a) The Bonds may be redeemed at the option of the Republic, upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, to redeem the Bonds, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after the date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the Bonds, prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued but not paid on the principal amount of such Bonds to the date of redemption.
(b) If less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed at any time, the Bonds for redemption will be selected as follows: (i) if the Bonds are listed on any national securities exchange and/or held through any clearing system, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange on which the Bonds are listed (if any) and/or any applicable requirements of the clearing systems through which the Bonds are held (if any), or any applicable requirements of the clearing systems through which the Bonds are held; or (ii) if the Bonds are not listed on any national securities exchange and are not held through the clearing systems, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate, unless otherwise required by law.
(c) A Bond of US$200,000 in principal amount or less shall not be redeemed in part. If any Bond is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Bond will state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed. A new Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Bond. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds or portions of them called for redemption.
6. Events of Default. Each of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” under the Bonds:
i. the Republic defaults in any payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds and such default is not cured within 30 days; or
ii. the Republic defaults in the performance of any other covenant in the Bonds and such default continues for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Republic pursuant to the Indenture by Holders representing at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding; or
iii. any Public External Indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of US$50,000,000 (or the equivalent amount thereof in any other currency) is accelerated (other than by optional or mandatory prepayment or redemption); or
iv. the Republic defaults in the payment of principal or interest in excess of US$50,000,000 (or the equivalent amount thereof in any other currency) payable (whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise) in connection with Public External Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace and waiver periods and such default shall not have been cured or waived within 30 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Republic pursuant to the Indenture by any Holder; or
v. the Republic declares a moratorium with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on any Public External Indebtedness.
R-5
(b) If an Event of Default under the Bonds shall have occurred and be continuing then in each and every such case, upon notice in writing by the Holders (the “Demanding Holders”) (acting individually or together) of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of the Bonds to the Republic, with a copy to the Trustee, of any such Event of Default and its continuance, the Demanding Holders may, and the Trustee at the written request of such Holders shall (subject to receiving indemnity and/or security to its satisfaction), declare the principal amount of all the Bonds due and payable immediately, and the same shall become and shall be due and payable upon the date that such written notice is received by or on behalf of the Republic, unless prior to receiving such notice all Events of Default in respect of all the Bonds shall have been cured or waived; provided that if, at any time after the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared due and payable, and before the sale of any property pursuant to any judgment or decree for the payment of monies due which shall have been obtained or entered in connection with the Bonds, the Republic shall pay or shall deposit (or cause to be paid or deposited) with the Trustee or Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal upon all the Bonds which shall have become due otherwise than solely by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent permitted by law, and on such principal of each Bond at the rate of interest specified herein, to the date of such payment of interest or principal) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover the fees and reasonably incurred expenses of the Trustee, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel, and if any and all Events of Default hereunder, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Bonds which shall have become due solely by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then, and in every such case, the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, by written notice to the Republic and to the Trustee, may, on behalf of all of the Holders, waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Actions by Holders pursuant to this paragraph 6 need not be taken at a meeting pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof. Actions by the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to this paragraph 6 are subject to Article Four of the Indenture.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (ii) of paragraph 6, the principal amount of and the accrued interest on the Bonds may only be declared immediately due and payable if such event is materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of Bonds.
(d) In the event of a declaration of acceleration because of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) of paragraph 6, the declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the Republic has remedied or cured the Event of Default or if the Holders of the relevant indebtedness rescind the declaration, within 60 days after the event.
7. Purchase of Bonds by the Republic. The Republic may at any time purchase or acquire any of the Bonds in any manner and at any price in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

8. Holders’ Meetings and Written Action. The Indenture sets forth the provisions for the convening of meetings of Holders of Bonds and actions taken by written consent of the Holders of Bonds.
9. Replacement, Exchange and Transfer of the Bonds. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, in case any Bond shall become mutilated, defaced or be purportedly destroyed, lost or stolen, the Republic in its discretion may execute, and upon the request of the Republic, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Bond, or in lieu of and in substitution for the purportedly destroyed, lost or stolen Bond. In every case, the applicant for a substitute Bond shall furnish to the Republic and to the Trustee, Registrar and Transfer Agent such security and/or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify, defend and to save each of them and any agent of the Republic or the Trustee harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss, theft or evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Bond and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Bond, the Holder of such Bond, if so requested by the Republic, shall pay a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Republic, the Trustee, Registrar and Transfer Agent) connected with the preparation and issuance of the substitute Bond.
R-6
(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to paragraph 9(e) hereof, a Certificated Security of a Series may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of such Series in different authorized denominations and a beneficial interest in a Global Bond may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Securities of such Series in authorized denominations or for an equal aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests in another Global Bond by the Holder or Holders surrendering the Bond or Bonds for exchange at the Corporate Trust Office, together with a written request for the exchange. Any registration of transfer or exchange shall be effected upon the Republic being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the Person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Republic may from time to time agree with the Registrar and the Transfer Agent. Certificated Securities will only be issued in exchange for interests in a Global Bond pursuant to Section 2.5(e) or 2.5(f) of the Indenture. The exchange of the Bonds will be made by the Registrar and the Transfer Agent.
(c) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to paragraph 9(e) hereof, a Certificated Security may be transferred in whole or in part (in an amount equal to the authorized denomination or any integral multiple thereof) by the Holder or Holders surrendering the Certificated Security for transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or at the office of any paying agent, accompanied by an executed instrument of transfer substantially as set forth in Exhibit F to the Indenture. The registration of transfer of the Bonds will be made by the Registrar and Transfer Agent.
(d) The costs and expenses of effecting any exchange, transfer or registration of transfer pursuant to this paragraph 9 will be borne by the Republic, except for the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge or insurance charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, which will be borne by the Holder of the Bond. Registration of the transfer of a Bond by the Registrar shall be deemed to be the acknowledgment of such transfer on behalf of the Republic.
(e) The Registrar and the Transfer Agent may decline to accept any request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Bond during the period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Bonds.
10. Trustee. For a description of the duties and the immunities and rights of the Trustee under the Indenture, reference is made to the Indenture, and the obligations of the Trustee to the Holder hereof are subject to such immunities and rights.
11. Paying Agents; Transfer Agents; Registrar. Bank Indonesia has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. Bank Indonesia, may at any time appoint additional or other paying agents, transfer agents and registrars and terminate the appointment of those or any paying agents, transfer agents and registrar, provided that while the Bonds are Outstanding Bank Indonesia will maintain in The City of New York (i) a paying agent, (ii) an office or agency where the Bonds may be presented for exchange, transfer and registration of transfer as provided in the Indenture and (iii) a registrar. If the Bonds are listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange (“SGX-ST”) and the rules of such exchange so require, Bank Indonesia will maintain a paying agent in Singapore. The Republic will give prompt notice to the Trustee and all Holders of the Bonds of any future appointment or any resignation or removal of any paying agent, transfer agent or registrar or of any change by any paying agent, transfer agent or registrar in any of its specified offices.

(e) This waiver of sovereign immunity constitutes only a limited and specific waiver for the purpose of the Indenture and this Bond and under no circumstances shall it be interpreted as a general waiver by the Republic and Bank Indonesia or a waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Indenture or this Bond.
(f) Each of the Republic and Bank Indonesia reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the Immunities Act with respect to actions brought against it under the U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws and the appointment of a Process Agent does not extend to such actions.

18. Indemnification for Foreign Exchange Fluctuations. The obligation of Republic to any Holder under the Bonds that has obtained a court judgment affecting the Bonds shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which the Bond is denominated (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Holder of any amount in the Judgment Currency, such Holder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that day, on the first Business Day on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the amount originally to be paid to such Holder in the Agreement Currency, the Republic agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding such judgment, to pay the difference, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the amount originally to be paid to such Holder, such Holder agrees to pay to or for the account of the Republic such excess, provided that such Holder shall not have any obligation to pay any such excess as long as a default by the Republic in its obligations hereunder has occurred and is continuing, in which case such excess may be applied by such Holder to such obligations.

Subject to paragraph 16, the Republic hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Bond and to constitute the same legal, valid and binding obligations of the Republic enforceable in accordance with their terms, have been done and performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with all applicable laws.

Any instrument given by or on behalf of any Holder of a Bond in connection with any consent to or approval of any such Modification will be conclusive and binding on all subsequent Holders of that Bond.
22. Language. This Bond is executed in each of the English and the Indonesian language. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence of two versions of this Bond is not to be construed by any party to create duplication or multiplication of the rights and obligations of the parties under the English version. The parties hereto and the Holders agree that (i) in the event of any discrepancy between the English version of this Bond and the Indonesian version (including but not limited to interpretation and determination of the terms and conditions of this Bond) the English version of this Bond shall prevail for all purposes and the Republic will promptly amend the relevant Indonesian language text to conform to and be consistent with the meaning of the English text, failing which, the relevant Indonesian language or text shall be deemed to be automatically amended to conform to and be consistent with the English language text and (ii) the Indonesian version shall be interpreted in the same manner as the English version of this Bond.
