Outstanding Securities of a series have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (i) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount
Security that shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount of the principal thereof that
would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 5.2, (ii) the principal amount of a Security denominated in one or more
foreign currencies or currency units shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined in the manner

equivalent on the date of original issuance of such Security of the amount determined as provided
in (i) above) of such Security, (iii) if the principal amount payable at Stated Maturity of any
Security is not determinable upon original issuance, the principal amount of such Security that
shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount as specified or determined as contemplated by
Section 2.1, and (iv) Securities owned by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the
Securities or any Affiliate of the Issuer, the Guarantor or of such other obligor shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall
be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned
shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good turn may be regarded
as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so
to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, the Guarantor or any
other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Issuer, the Guarantor or of such other
obligor.

covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of any series may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer and the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such



7









 







agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer and the Guarantor, if made in the manner
provided in this Section.




(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary
public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that
the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity,
such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The
fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the
Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner, which the Trustee deems
sufficient.




(c) The Issuer and the Guarantor may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of a series entitled to give, make or take
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities
of such series; provided that the Issuer and the Guarantor may not set a record date for,
and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making
of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the
relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided
that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date (as defined below) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to prevent the Issuer or the Guarantor from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon
the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be
cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render
ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer and the Guarantor, at their own
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the
applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.




(d) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders
of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of: (i)
any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2; (ii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(a); or (iii) any direction referred to in Section
5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such
record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration,
request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the
applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date
has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set
shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and
nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series
on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantor, shall cause notice
of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be
given to the Issuer and the Guarantor in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.




(e) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section with respect to the
Securities of a series, the party or parties hereto which set such record date may designate
any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any
earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the
proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party



8









 







or parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the
manner set form in Section 1.6, on or prior to the first Business Day following the existing
Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be designated later
than the 180th day after the applicable record date and, if an Expiration Date is not
designated, with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party or
parties hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have designated the 180th day
after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto.




(f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the
principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may
do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.




(g) The ownership of Securities of a series shall be proved by the applicable Register.




(h) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of
the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the
Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by
the Trustee, the Issuer or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Security.



     SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Issuer and Guarantor. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided for
or permitted, by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,




(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuer or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (or sent by facsimile
and confirmed in writing) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or




(b) the Issuer or the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and
mailed (or sent by facsimile and confirmed in writing), in the case of the Issuer,
international air mail postage prepaid and addressed to: Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U., c/o

Madrid, Spain, Attention: Mr. Eduardo Álvarez Gómez, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Guarantor.



     SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.




(a) Notices to Holders will be deemed to be validly given if mailed to them at their
respective addresses as recorded in the Register and will be deemed to have been validly
given on the seventh day after the date of such mailing.




(b) In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice, so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.




(c) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall
be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for
every purpose hereunder.




(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and
such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be
filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

     SECTION 1.7. Language of Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English
language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of
publication.



     SECTION 1.8. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or
conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part
of and govern this Indenture, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any
provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may
be so modified or excluded, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to apply to
this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.



     SECTION 1.9. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings
herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof.

Issuer or the Guarantor shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or
not.



     SECTION 1.11. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the
Securities or the Guarantees shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



     SECTION 1.12. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture, the Securities or the
Guarantees, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim

or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may

	 	 	Authorized Officer 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 




     SECTION 2.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.




(a) Security Certificates representing the Securities of each series shall be executed
manually or by facsimile, imprint or other reproduction on behalf of the Issuer by an
authorized representative of the Issuer who shall be a Director (Administrador Solidario) of
the Issuer and shall have endorsed thereon a Guarantee by the Guarantor. Each Guarantee
shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an authorized representative of the
Guarantor. The signature of any such authorized representative of the Guarantor may be
manual or facsimile.




(b) Security Certificates or Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at the time the authorized representatives of the Issuer or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior
to the authentication and delivery of such Security Certificates or Guarantees.




(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
the Issuer may deliver each Security Certificate representing the Securities of any series
executed by the Issuer and if applicable, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee of the
Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Security Certificates (the “Authentication Order”), and the Trustee in
accordance with the Authentication Order shall authenticate and deliver such Security
Certificates having such Guarantees endorsed thereon.




(d) If the forms or terms of the Securities of a series and the applicable Guarantee have
been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Article 3
and Section 2.1, in authenticating each Security Certificate representing the Securities of
such series, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation
to the Securities of such series and the applicable Guarantee, the Trustee shall receive,
and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
and Officer’s Certificate stating:




          (i) that such forms or terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; and






          (ii) that such Securities and the applicable Guarantee, when each Security Certificate
representing such Securities is authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and such Securities are
issued by the Issuer and the Guarantee is executed and delivered by the Guarantor in the manner and
subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, such Securities and the applicable
Guarantee will constitute valid and legally binding





14









 





obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to such exceptions as such counsel shall specify.





(e) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Security
Certificate under this Section 2.3 if the Trustee, being advised in writing by counsel,
determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall
determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability based upon the
advice of counsel.




(f) The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate any Security Certificate if the issue
of the Securities represented by such Security Certificate pursuant to this Indenture will
affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under such Securities and this
Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.




(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 and of paragraph (f) above, if all
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.1 or
the Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to paragraph (d) above at
or prior to the time of authentication of each Security Certificate representing the
Securities of such series so long as such Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate (with
appropriate modifications) are delivered at or prior to the authentication of each
applicable Security Certificate upon original issuance of the first Security of such series
to be issued and reasonably contemplate the subsequent issuance of such Securities of such
series.




(h) Each Security Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.




(i) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on the Security Certificate representing
such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in Section
2.2 executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon
any Security Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Security Certificate shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but the Securities represented by such Security Certificate shall have never been
issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Security Certificate to the
Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.10, for all purposes of this Indenture
such Security Certificate shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and the Securities represented by such Security Certificate shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.




(j) The delivery of any Security Certificate by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf
of the Guarantor, if applicable.



     SECTION 2.4. Temporary Security Certificates.




(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Security Certificates representing the Securities
of any series, the Issuer may execute, and upon Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Security Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,

tenor of the definitive Securities and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees or
the Guarantor substantially of the tenor of definitive Guarantees in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of
such Securities. The temporary Securities may be in global form.




(b) If temporary Security Certificates representing Securities of any series are issued, the
Issuer will cause definitive Security Certificates representing Securities of that series to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Security
Certificates representing Securities of such series, the temporary Security Certificates
representing Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Security
Certificates representing Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Security
Certificates representing Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer in
a Place of



15









 







Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Security Certificates representing Securities of any series, the
Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one
or more definitive Security Certificates representing Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor which have
endorsed thereon the Guarantees of the Guarantor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Security
Certificates representing Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Security Certificates representing
Securities of such series and tenor.

require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee) connected therewith.

all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,

more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date for such interest and, in the case of premium, if any, the date on which such premium
may become payable.

forth in Section 1.6, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the
Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special
Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Subsection
(ii).




(ii) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any
series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the
Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Subsection, such manner of payment
shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.




(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 2.5, each Security of
any series delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid,
and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.



     SECTION 2.9. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security Certificate for
registration of transfer of a Security represented thereby, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee
and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.8) any interest on such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.



     SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. All Security Certificates surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer of any Securities represented thereby or exchange or for credit against
any sinking fund payment shall, if the applicable Security Certificate is surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and the Securities represented thereby shall be
promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee one or
more Security Certificates previously authenticated and delivered hereunder for cancellation of any
Securities represented thereby which the Issuer or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) one
or more Security Certificates previously authenticated and delivered hereunder for cancellation of
any Securities represented thereby which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Securities
represented by any Security Certificate so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No
Security Certificate shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Security Certificate
representing Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All Security Certificates representing cancelled Securities held by the Trustee
shall be disposed of in its customary manner or shall otherwise be returned to the Issuer if
directed by an Order.



     SECTION 2.11. Purchase of Securities. The Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s
other Subsidiaries may at any time purchase Securities of any series in the open market or
otherwise at any price. If purchases are made by tender, tenders must be available to all Holders
of Securities of the applicable series alike.



21









 





     SECTION 2.12. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”
and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and “ISIN”
numbers in notices, including notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any
such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either
as printed on the Security Certificates representing the Securities of the applicable series or as
contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Security Certificates representing the Securities of the applicable series, and any
such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer
shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers.



ARTICLE 3

The Guarantees




     SECTION 3.1. The Guarantees.




(a) The Guarantor will unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the due payment of all sums
expressed to be payable by the Issuer under the Securities of each series on an
unsubordinated and unconditional basis.




(b) A Guarantee to be endorsed on each Security Certificate representing the Securities of a
series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.




(c) Amounts to be paid by the Guarantor under the Guarantees shall be paid without deduction
or withholding for any present or future taxes or duties imposed by the Kingdom of Spain or
any political subdivision thereof, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes or
duties is required by law or regulation or by the official interpretation thereof. In that
event, the Guarantor will pay such Additional Amounts as may be necessary in order that each
net payment on the Securities of the applicable series after such deduction or withholding
will not be less than the amount provided for in the certificate representing such
Securities to be then due and payable, subject to the exceptions described under Section
10.4.




(d) The obligations of the Guarantor under a Guarantee are unaffected by any invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of the Securities of the applicable series or this
Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Securities or this Indenture, or
any waivers, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer in respect thereof by the
Holders of such series of Securities or the Trustee, or any other circumstance which may
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or the Guarantor.




(e) The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee in respect of the Securities of a
series will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of
the Guarantor and will rank pari passu without any preference among such obligations of the
Guarantor under the Guarantee in respect of the Securities of such series and at least pari
passu with all other unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and monetary obligations
involving or otherwise related to borrowed money of the Guarantor, present and future;
provided that the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee in respect of the
Securities of each series will be effectively subordinated to those obligations that are
preferred under Law 22/2003 (Ley Concursal) dated July 9, 2003 regulating insolvency
proceedings in Spain.



ARTICLE 4

and the Issuer or the Guarantor, in the case of clause (2) (A), (B) or (C) above,
has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
this purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the

such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the
Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;





(ii) the Issuer or the Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums

directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or the Guarantor acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and
any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the
Trustee.



     SECTION 4.3. Defeasance and Discharge of Securities of any Series. Except as otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 2.1 with respect to a series of Securities, the Issuer and the
Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the
Outstanding Securities of any series and the provisions of this Indenture as it relates to such
Outstanding Securities shall no longer be in effect (“Defeasance”), and the Trustee, at the expense
of the Issuer, shall, upon the Order of the Issuer or the Guarantor, execute proper instruments

satisfied, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 and Section 10.3(e)), as trust funds
in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the

a series of Securities denominated in United States dollars, United States money or U.S.
Government



23









 







Obligations, and in the case of a series of Securities denominated in a currency other than

of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, in an amount
which will provide not later than the opening of business on the due date of any payment
referred to in subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (a), in the case of a
series of Securities denominated in United States dollars, United States money or US.
Government Obligations, and in the case of a series of Securities demonstrated in a currency
other than U.S. dollars, funds in such currency, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of
an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge (i) the principal of

with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities; and




(b) no Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series has occurred and is
continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 5.1(e), Section
5.l(f) or Section 5.l (h) is in occurrence and continues on a date which is six months after
the date of such deposit; and




(c) the Issuer or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of
recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters to the effect that
Holders of the Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United
States federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, Defeasance and discharge and
will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount and in the same
manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, Defeasance and
discharge had not occurred; and:




(d) such Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities of that series are in default
within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act); and




(e) such Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act; and




(f) if the Securities of that series are then listed on any securities exchange, the Issuer
or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
deposit, Defeasance and discharge will not cause such Securities of that series to be
delisted from such exchange; and




(g) the Issuer or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the
Defeasance and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of that

Securities of any series of the Issuer, means any one of the following events which occurs and is

the Securities of such series and in each case, such failure continues for more than 60 days

written notice to the Issuer specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied, and
stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

currency under any Relevant Indebtedness or under any guarantees or suretyships provided for
under any Relevant Indebtedness of others, and this failure remains uncured for 30 days;




(d) the holders of any other Relevant Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Guarantor accelerate
any payment obligation in excess of €100,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency
as a result of the Issuer or the Guarantor entering into a transaction described and in
accordance with the conditions set forth under Article 8 hereof, which transaction
constitutes an event of default in respect of such other Relevant Indebtedness;




(e) the Issuer or the Guarantor announces its inability to meet its financial obligations;

against the Issuer or the Guarantor and any such proceeding is not discharged or dismissed

in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may, by written notice to
the Issuer, at the Corporate Trust Office (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders),
declare that the Securities of such series, including principal, any premium thereon and all
interest then accrued and unpaid on the Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall
be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, become immediately due and payable, at their principal amount together with
all interest, if any, accrued and unpaid thereon and premium, if any, payable in respect
thereof without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which the
Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will expressly waive, unless, prior thereto,
all Events of Default in respect of such Securities of such series shall have been cured.




(b) Such declarations of acceleration may be rescinded and past defaults may be waived,
except defaults in payment of principal of, interest on or premium, if any, by Holders of a
majority of the outstanding principal amount on the Securities of such series pursuant to

     SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.




(a) The Issuer covenants that if default is made in the payment of any principal of,
interest or Additional Amounts on, any Security of any series and such default continues for
a period of 21 days, the Issuer will upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit
of the Holders of the Securities of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on
all Securities of such series for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor

collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents counsel, and all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.




(b) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and
the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.



     SECTION 5.4. Trustee May File Proof of Claim.

obligor upon the Securities of a series or the property of the Issuer, the Guarantor or of
such other creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture
Act in order to have claims of the Holders of Securities of such series and the Trustee
allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect
and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Holder of the Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee and, in
the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders of Securities of such series, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.




(b) No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize,
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of the Securities of a series, any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Securities or
the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any such Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted
under the applicable law, the Trustee may, on behalf of the such Holders, vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or
other similar committee.



     SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of
action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Security Certificates representing any of the
Securities of a series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders of Securities in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered.



     SECTION 5.6. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee
and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest,
upon presentation of each Securities Certificate representing the applicable Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if the Securities represented thereby are only partially paid and
upon surrender thereof if fully paid:



26









 





     First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7;



     Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, and any premium
and interest on, and any Additional Amount on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit
of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium, interest
and Additional Amount, respectively (subject to Section 2.8); and



     Third: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Issuer,



     SECTION 5.7. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the
applicable Guarantee, the Securities of such series or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:




(a) the Holder initiating the proceeding shall have given the Trustee written notice that an
Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured with respect to the Securities of such
series;




(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;




(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to
it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such
request;




(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such proceeding;




(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series;




it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in
any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to
seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable
benefit of all of such Holders.



     SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, Interest and
Additional Amounts. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security of any series shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of, any premium on, interest on and any Additional Amounts on such
Security on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in each Security Certificate
representing such Securities (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.



     SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.



     SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security Certificates in Section
2.7(f), no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities of any series is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right
and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.



27









 





     SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of Securities of any series to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default
or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee
or to such Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee or by such Holders, as the case may be.



     SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series; provided that




(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;




(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction; and




(c) the Trustee need not follow any such direction if doing so would in its reasonable
discretion either involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not
joining in such direction;




provided, further, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination with
respect to any such conflict, personal liability or undue prejudice.



     SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.




(a) The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series
waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series of Securities of the Issuer and
its consequences, except a default:




          (i) in the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts
on, any Security of such series; or






          (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected;





     provided, however, that all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.7 hereof have been
paid.




(b) Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon.



     SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs (including legal fees and expenses) against
any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act;
provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any
court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the
Issuer or the Guarantor, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series of the Issuer, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, or Additional
Amounts on any Security of such series on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in
the Security Certificate representing such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date).



     SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or
extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture and each of the Issuer and the Guarantor (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law



28









 







and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no
such law had been enacted.

Trustee in this Indenture; and




          (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).





(b) In the case of an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing with respect to
Securities of any series, the Trustee shall, with respect to the Securities of such series,
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.




(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from its
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that:



          (i) this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a) of this
Section;




          (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;




          (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series; and




          (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of its rights and powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.





(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.



     SECTION 6.2. Notice of Defaults. If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default
as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of
any default of the character specified in Section 5.l(b) with respect to such Securities, no such
notice to such Holders shall be given until the applicable grace period has expired. For the
purpose of this Section, the term “Default” means, with respect to the Securities of any series,
any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of such series; provided, however, that except in the case of a default in
the payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any on any
Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in



29









 







withholding such notice if, and so long as, a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders.



     SECTION 6.3. Certain Rights of Trustee.



     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1:




(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,

determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Issuer or the Guarantor with reasonable prior notice,
personally or by agent or attorney at the reasonable expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor

and this Indenture; and




(j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,

30









 





     SECTION 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained
herein and in any Security Certificate, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall
be taken as the statements of the Issuer or the Guarantor, and neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities of any
series. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Issuer of Securities of any series or the proceeds thereof.



     SECTION
6.5. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent,
any Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or the Guarantor, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities of any series and, subject to Sections 6.8
and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Issuer and the Guarantor with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.



     SECTION 6.6. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on or investment of any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed with and for the exclusive benefit of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be.



     SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement.



          (a) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor jointly and severally agrees:




          (i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon in
writing from time to time for all services rendered by it hereunder;




          (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any
provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except to the extent that any such expense, disbursement
or advance shall have been caused by its negligence or willful misconduct; and




          (iii) to fully indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to
hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damages, claims or expense arising out of or

(c) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.




(d) The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee
or the termination of this Indenture.



31









 





     SECTION 6.8. Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting
interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of,
the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For this purpose the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have a conflicting interest by reason of being Trustee for the Securities of any series and Trustee
for the Securities of any other series.



     SECTION 6.9. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series which shall be a Person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at
least U.S.$50,000,000 and its Corporate Trust Office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, New York. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of
such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.



     SECTION 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.




(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.




(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series
by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If the instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition at the reasonable expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series.




(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by
Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer and the Guarantor. If the instrument of
acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to
the Trustee within 30 days after its removal, the removed Trustee may petition at the
reasonable expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.




(d) If at any time:




          (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 with respect to the Securities of any
series after written request therefor by the Issuer or the Guarantor or by any Holder who has been
a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months;






          (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Issuer or the Guarantor or by any Holder of a Security of any
series; or






          (iii) the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall become incapable of
acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;





then, in any such case, (1) the Issuer by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to
the applicable or (if required) all, series of Securities, or (2) subject to Section 5.14, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of the applicable series of Securities for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees
with respect to such series of Securities.





32









 









(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or
more series, the Issuer, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that
any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or
all of such series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If,
within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such
vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of the applicable series shall
be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series delivered to the Issuer and the Guarantor and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede
the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of the applicable series shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the
Holders of Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series.




(f) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of the applicable series and each appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such
series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office.



     SECTION 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.




(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee,
but, upon the request of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges upon the terms of this Indenture, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.




(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series of the Issuer, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
series of the Issuer shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each
successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions
as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to
confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of
the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees
of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and
each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and



33









 







duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Issuer and
the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates.




(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b)
of this Section, as the case may be.




(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.



     SECTION 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified
and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Security Certificate representing any Securities
of a series shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Security Certificate so authenticated with the same effect as if
such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Security Certificate.



     SECTION 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer or Guarantor. If and when the
Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture
Act, but only to the extent therein specified, regarding the collection of claims against the
Issuer or the Guarantor (or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and (6) of
the Trust Indenture Act:




(a) “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities
sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in
checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and




(b) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation
which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Issuer or the Guarantor for the purpose
of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods,
wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of,
or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from
the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting one or more Securities;
provided the applicable Security or Securities is or are received by the Trustee
simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Issuer or the
Guarantor arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of
exchange, acceptance or obligation.



     SECTION 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.




(a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more
series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate each Security Certificate representing Securities of such series issued upon
original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or
pursuant to Section 2.7, and each Securities represented by a Security Certificate so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and
obligatory for all purposes as if such Security Certificate was authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery
of Security Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by
an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the
Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Issuer and shall at all times be a Person organized and doing business under the



34









 







laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agents, having a combined capital and
surplus of not less than U.S.$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes, of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
this Section.




(b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to
be an Authenticating Agent; provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this
Section, without, the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.




(c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to
the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in
case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which
shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner
provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which
such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of
this Section.




(d) If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Securities is made pursuant to
this Section, each Security Certificate representing the Securities of each such series may
have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an
alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:



     This is one of the Security Certificate representing the Securities of the series designated
therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.



	 	 	 	 	 
	 	The Bank of New York Mellon,

As Trustee



manually

 	 
	 	By:  	 	 
	 	 	As Authenticating Agent 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 



     Date:                                         





     If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the
Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating each applicable Security Certificate upon
original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Issuer wishes to have each Security
Certificate representing the Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the
Trustee, if so requested by the Issuer in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 1.2
and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this
Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by such Issuer
with respect



35









 







of such series of Securities. The Issuer agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses
relating thereto.



     SECTION 6.15. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer. Any application by the
Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer or the Guarantor may, at the option of the
Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this
Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be
effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in
accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such
application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of
the Issuer or the Guarantor actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have
consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective
date in the case of an Omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response
to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.



     SECTION 6.16. Appointment of Co-Trustee.




(a) For the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Issuer
may at the time be located in connection with the enforcement of any right or the taking of
any action on behalf of the Holders of any Securities of a series issued hereunder, the
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, hereunder in respect of such series of Securities and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such
series, such title hereunder, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. Each co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.9. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Holders of each applicable series of Securities and the
Issuer of the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section.




(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:




(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;




(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and




(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee.




(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to
each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to
this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 6. Each separate trustee and co-trustee,
upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property
specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically
including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the
liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation,
reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee.



36









 






(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do
any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name for the
purpose of enforcing any rights or taking any other action on behalf of the Holders of any
series of Securities issued hereunder.



ARTICLE 7 

Holders’ Lists and Reports by Trustee, Issuer and Guarantor 




     SECTION 7.1. Issuer and Guarantor to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. Each of
the Issuer and the Guarantor will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:




(a) semi-annually, not later than 15 days after each Regular Record Date in each year, a
list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, containing all the information in
the possession or control of the Issuer or the Guarantor, or any of the Issuer’s Paying
Agents other than the Trustee, as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of
each series as of such Regular Record Date; and

covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually
pay the principal of, and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts on, the Securities of that

41









 





     SECTION 10.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.




(a) The Issuer or the Guarantor will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities an office or agency where such Security Certificate representing the Securities
of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to
or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
served.




(b) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time
the Issuer or the Guarantor shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or

notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and
the Issuer and the Guarantor hereby appoint the same as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.




(c) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies
where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that
no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation
to maintain an office or agency in place of payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency upon
receiving notice of any such change.



     SECTION 10.3. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.




(a) If the Issuer or the Guarantor shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with
respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal
of, or any premium or interest on, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold
in trust, in a jurisdiction other than the Kingdom of Spain, for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so
becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.




(b) The Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities and it
will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, or any premium or interest or
Additional Amounts on, any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
sufficient to pay such amount for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, such sum to
be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.




(c) The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying
Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor
upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, and upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities
of that series.




(d) The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be
held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Issuer or such Paying Agent, and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such
Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.




(e) Any money deposited, with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer or
the Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on
any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal,
premium or interest has become due and



42









 







payable shall be paid to the Issuer automatically, or (if then held by the Issuer or the
Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall
thereafter, as an general creditor, look only to the Issuer or the Guarantor for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Issuer or the Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the right to receive payment of
principal of any Security (whether at Maturity or otherwise) or interest there will become
void at the end of three years after the due date thereof.



     SECTION 10.4. Additional Amounts.




(a) All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, redemption amount, interest or
otherwise) in respect of the Securities of a series and the related Guarantee by the Issuer
or the Guarantor will be made free and clear of and 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 the Kingdom of Spain or any political
subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax,
unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental
charges is required by law. In the event that such withholding or deduction is required by
law, unless otherwise specified in any Board Resolution or other appropriate corporate
authorization of the Issuer or the Guarantor establishing the terms of Securities of a
series or the Guarantees relating thereto in accordance with Section 2.1, the Issuer or the
Guarantor shall pay such Additional Amounts as will result in receipt by the Holders of such
series of Securities of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such
withholding or deduction been required; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantor
will not be required to pay any Additional Amounts in respect of any Security of a series:




(i) to a Holder of such Security who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments
or governmental charges in respect of such Security by reason of it (or the
Beneficial Owner for whose benefit it holds such Security) having some connection
with the Kingdom of Spain other than the mere holding of such Security (or such
beneficial interest);




(ii) to a Holder of such Securities in respect of whom the Issuer or the Guarantor
does not receive such information (which may include a tax residence certificate)
concerning such Holder’s identity and tax residence (or the identity and tax
residence of the Beneficial Owner for whose benefit it holds such Security) as it
may require in order to comply with Law 13/1985 of May 25 (as amended by Law 19/2003
of July 4, Law 23/2005 of November 18 and Law 4/2008 of December 23), Royal Decree
1065/2007 of July 27 and any implementing legislation or regulation;




(iii) presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after
the Relevant Date (as defined below), except to the extent that the relevant Holder
would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the same for
payment on the expiry of such period of 30 days;




(iv) where the withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to or for the
benefit of 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 or any law implementing or complying
with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directives;




(v) presented for payment (where presentation is required) by or on behalf of a
Holder (or Beneficial Owner) who would have been able to avoid such withholding or
deduction by presenting the relevant Security to another paying agent in a Member
State of the European Union;




(vi) to or for the benefit of individuals resident for tax purposes in the Kingdom
of Spain; or



43









 






(vii) to or for the benefit of a Spanish-resident legal entity subject to Spanish
Corporate Income Tax if (a) the Spanish corporate resident entity fails to identify
itself as such to the Issuer and the Guarantor in accordance with article 59.q) or
59.s) of the Corporate Income Tax Regulations approved by Royal Decree 1777/2004 of
July 30 or (b) the Spanish tax authorities determine that the Securities of such
series do not comply with exemption requirements specified in the Reply to a
Consultation of the Directorate General for Taxation (Dirección General de Tributos)
dated July 27, 2004 or otherwise and require a withholding to be made;




provided further that Additional Amounts in respect of the Securities of a series will also
not be paid with respect to any payment to a Holder of any Securities of such series who is
a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole Beneficial
Owner of that payment, to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of the
Kingdom of Spain (or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or
thereof having power to tax) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a
beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an
interest holder in that limited liability company or a Beneficial Owner who would not have
been entitled to the Additional Amounts had it been the Holder.



     For the purposes of Section 10.4(a)(iii) above, the “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any
payment, the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of
the moneys payable has not been received by the Paying Agent on or prior to such due date, it means
the first date on which the full amount of such moneys having been so received and being available
for payment to Holders, notice to that effect shall have been duly given to the Holders in
accordance with this Indenture.




(b) The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction
for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of
whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, is organized, or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, subject to exceptions equivalent to those set forth in Section
10.4(a) above.




(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions, whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in
any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect
of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any
Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of
Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context,
Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the
provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if
applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts
in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.



     SECTION 10.5. Statement by Officers as to Default.




(a) For so long as any Securities of any series are Outstanding, each of the Guarantor and
the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Guarantor ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s Certificate, stating whether or not
to the knowledge of the signer or signers thereof the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, is in compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the
Issuer or the Guarantor shall not be in compliance specifying all instances of noncompliance
and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.




(b) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible,
and in any event within ten days after the Issuer or the Guarantor becomes aware of the
occurrence of any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of
such Event of Default or default and the action which the Issuer proposes to take with
respect thereto.



     SECTION 10.6. Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Issuer and the Guarantor each will do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the
Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right



44









 







or franchise if its respective Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as
the case may be, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders of any series of Securities.



     SECTION 10.7. Limitation on Liens. So long as any of the Securities of a series remains
Outstanding, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor will create or will have outstanding any
Encumbrance upon the whole or any part of its present or future assets, in order to secure any
Relevant Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Issuer, the Guarantor or by any other Person
unless such Securities of a series are equally and ratably secured therewith, for as long as such
Relevant Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall
not apply to any Encumbrance securing Relevant Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Guarantor,
the Issuer or any other Person if the Relevant Indebtedness so secured (a) was originally offered,
distributed or sold primarily to the residents of the Kingdom of Spain; (b) by its terms matures
within one year of its date of issue, or (c) if such Encumbrance affects assets of an entity which,
when such Encumbrance was created, was unrelated to the Guarantor or the Issuer and which was
subsequently acquired by the Guarantor or the Issuer; and provided, further, that nothing in this
Section shall limit the ability of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to grant or
permit to subsist Encumbrances over any or all of their respective present or future assets to
secure Relevant Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any other Person,
to the extent that the aggregate principal amounts so secured do not exceed 5% of the Consolidated
Net Tangible Assets of the Guarantor, as reflected in the most recent balance sheet of the
Guarantor (prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect at the
date of such computation and as applied by the Guarantor) prior to the time such Relevant
Indebtedness was issued or guaranteed.



     SECTION 10.8. Covenant Defeasance of Securities of Any Series.




(a) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.1 with respect to any series
of Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantor may by Board Resolution elect to be released
from their respective obligations under any specified provisions of this Indenture
applicable to any series of Securities Outstanding, and the provisions so specified in such
Board Resolution, as they relate to Outstanding Securities of such series, shall no longer
be in effect (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall,
upon the Order of the Issuer or the Guarantor, execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same, when:

ARTICLE 11

Redemption of Securities




     SECTION 11.1. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before
their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this
Article.



     SECTION 11.2. Election to Redeem: Notice to Trustee. The election of the Issuer to redeem
any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at
the election of the Issuer of all or less than all the Securities of any series (including any such
redemption affecting only a single Security), the Issuer shall, at least 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date fixed by the Issuer (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of
such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In
the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Issuer
shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restriction.



     SECTION 11.3. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.



46









 






(a) If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the
Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are redeemed or unless such redemption
affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of a portion of the principal amount of Securities of such series, provided that
the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized
denomination which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for such
Security. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to
be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not
previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence, and the Trustee
shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and,
in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amounts thereof
to be redeemed.




(b) The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply with respect to any redemption
affecting only a single Security of a series, whether such Security is to be redeemed in
whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the
principal amount of such Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be
less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.




(c) For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of a series shall relate, in the case of
any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal
amount of such Securities of such series which has been or is to be redeemed.



     SECTION 11.4. Notice of Redemption.




(a) Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail postage prepaid, mailed not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities of
the applicable series to be redeemed at his or her address appearing in the Register. All
notices of redemption shall state:




(i) the Redemption Date;




(ii) the Redemption Price;




(iii) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of a series consisting of more
than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of
partial redemption of any Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular
Securities of that series to be redeemed and if less than all the Outstanding
Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the
principal amount of the particular Securities of that series to be redeemed;




(iv) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, net of any withholding
required by Spanish law and regulations, will become due and payable upon each such
Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to
accrue on and after said date;




(v) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of
the Redemption Price;




(vi) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and




(vii) the CUSIP and ISIN number or numbers, if any, with respect to such Securities.




(b) Notice of redemption of a series of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the
Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Issuer and shall be irrevocable.



47









 





     SECTION 11.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer
shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or the Guarantor is acting
as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities of the series which are to be
redeemed on that date.



     SECTION 11.6. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.




(a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities of any series so to
be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon
surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security
shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1, installments of interest on Securities
of a series whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Security, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 2.8.




(b) If any Security of any series called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.



     SECTION 11.7. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security of a series which is to be redeemed
only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the
Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and
of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of principal of the Security so
surrendered.



     SECTION 11.8. Early Redemption for Taxation Reasons.




(a) If, in relation to the Securities of a series, (i) as a result of any change in the laws
or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision thereof or any authority
or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or in the interpretation or administration
of any such laws or regulations which becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of
the Securities of such series, (x) the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is or
would be required to pay any Additional Amounts (y) the Guarantor is or would be required to
deduct or withhold tax on any payment to the Issuer to enable the Issuer to make any payment
of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series, provided that
such payment cannot with reasonable effort by the Guarantor be structured to avoid such
deduction or withholding and (ii) such circumstances are evidenced by the delivery by the
Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Trustee of a certificate signed by an
authorized officer or director of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, stating
that such circumstances prevail and describing the facts leading to such circumstances,
together with an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognized standing to the effect
that such circumstances prevail, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at
its option and upon proper notice as provided in this Indenture, redeem all of the
Outstanding Securities at the applicable Redemption Price. No such notice of redemption may
be given earlier than 150 days prior to the date on which the Issuer or the Guarantor would
be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then
due.




(b) In addition, if so specified pursuant to Section 2.1 in respect of any series of
Securities, if such series of Securities is not listed on an organized market in an OECD
country no later than the 45 days prior to the initial Interest Payment Date on such series
of Securities, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option and
having given no less than 15 days’ notice (ending on a day which is no later than a Business
Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date) to the Holders of such series of
Securities and upon proper notice as provided in this Indenture (which notice shall be
irrevocable) redeem all of the outstanding Securities of such series at the applicable
Redemption Price; provided that from and



48









 







including the issue date of the Securities of such series to and including such Interest
Payment Date, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain or maintain such
listing, as applicable.




(c) In the case of any successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, the foregoing
provision shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any jurisdiction in which such
successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is organized, or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, except that the change of laws
or regulations or interpretations or the administration thereof referred to in Section
11.8(a) above (other than if the relevant jurisdiction is Spain in which case the relevant
date remains the date of issuance) must occur on or after the date the successor Person
assumes the obligations of the Issuer or Guarantor, as the case may be.



ARTICLE 12

Sinking Funds




     SECTION 12.1. Sinking Funds. Unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture for the
applicable series of Securities as contemplated by or pursuant to Section 2.1, no series of
Securities will be subject to, or credited to the benefit, of any sinking fund.

executed on its behalf as of the date first above written.

     This Security Certificate is one of the Security Certificates representing a duly authorized
issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one
or more series under an Indenture, dated as of (herein called the “Indenture” which term

all respects except for the issue date, the first payment of interest thereon and/or issue price),
so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding
Securities of this series; provided, however, that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any such
further issuance will only be made if either such additional securities are issued with no more
than de minimis original issue discount or any such further issuance is a “qualified reopening” as
such term is defined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3) promulgated under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.]



     [If applicable insert — The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less

made upon this Security.

of the Trustee a Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
