Division (10) For any sale, the Hellenic Republic commits that:

The Purchaser shall be independent of and unconnected to the Bank;

For the purpose of acquiring the Divestment Business, the Purchaser shall not be financed directly or indirectly by the Bank. This does not apply to sale of real estate, in which case the Bank can provide financing to the purchaser, if this new lending is performed in line with prudent lending practice. For the purpose of verifying the compliance with the commitment on deleveraging of non-Greek assets, any new lending falling in the definition of non-Greek assets will be taken into account;

The Bank shall, for a period of 5 years after the closing of the sale, not acquire direct or indirect influence over the whole or part of the Divestment Business without a pre-approval from the Commission.
