securities of the Company, designated as its                     % Subordinated Guaranteed Securities Due
                                        , (the “Securities”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of                     
(except as otherwise provided below) and issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (as

Company, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (together with its successors and permitted assigns
under the Indenture, the “Guarantor”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (together with
any successor Trustee under the Indenture, the “Trustee”). The terms and conditions of the
Indenture shall have effect as if incorporated herein. The holders of the Securities (each a
“Holder”) will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of
the provisions of the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee the holders of Company Senior Indebtedness and Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City.




     (b) The Securities are direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the
Company. The Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor
pursuant to the terms of the guarantee (the “Guarantee”) dated                      (a counterpart
of which is endorsed hereon) as to the payment of principal (and premium, if any),
interest, payments to sinking funds (if applicable), Additional Amounts and any other
amounts of whatever nature which may become payable under any of the foregoing or under
the Indenture.




     (c) The Securities will initially be sold in the form of one or more permanent global
notes in fully registered form without interest coupons (each a “Global Security” and,
together with any securities issued in definitive form pursuant to the Indenture (each a
“Security”), the “Securities”) deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Securities will not be issued in bearer form.
The Securities, and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 3.06 of
the Indenture. Any person in whose name a Security shall be registered may (to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, and for all purposes,
by the Company, Guarantor and the Trustee as the absolute owner of such



B-1









 







Security, regardless of any notice of ownership, theft or loss or of any writing
thereon.



     2. Payments and Paying Agencies. (a) All payments on the Securities shall be made
exclusively in such coin or currency of                     as at the time of payment shall be legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.




     (b) (i) Principal of this Security and interest due at maturity will be payable
against surrender of such Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New
York City in immediately available funds by [denomination] check drawn on, or by transfer
to a [denomination] account maintained by the registered Holder with, a bank located in
                    .




     (ii) Payment of interest (including Additional Amounts) on this Security
will be made to the persons in whose name such Security is registered at the end
of the close of business on the Regular Record Date, which shall be the end of
the ___day next preceding the date on which interest is to be paid whether or
not such day is a Business Day (as defined below), notwithstanding the
cancellation of such Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent
to the Record Date and prior to such interest payment date.



     Any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities which shall be
payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for
such Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause
(A) or (B) below:




     (A) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered
at the close of business on a “Special Record Date” for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Security and the date
of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate
amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled
to



B-2









 







such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon,
the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than ten days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of
such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first
class postage prepaid, to the Holders (or holders of a predecessor
security of their Securities) at their addresses as they appear in the
Security Register not less than ten days prior to such Special Record
Date. The Trustee shall, at the instruction of the Company, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be
published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but
such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the
establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or
Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following clause (B).




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




     (c) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months.



     3. Taxation: Redemption for Taxation Reasons; Additional Amounts




     (a) Any amounts to be paid by the Company with respect to each Security shall be paid
without deduction or withholding for or on account of any and all present or future taxes
or duties of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Kingdom of
Spain (the



B-3









 







“Taxing Jurisdiction”) or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein
having the power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that
event, the Company will pay to the Holder such Additional Amounts in respect of principal,
premium, if any, interest, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any, as may be necessary
in order that the net amount paid to the Holder of such Security or to the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as the case may be, under the Indenture, after such deduction or
withholding, shall equal the respective amounts of principal, premium, if any, interest,
if any, and sinking fund payments, if any, as specified in the Security to which such
Holder or the Trustee would be entitled if no such deduction or withholding had been made;
provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply:




     (i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such
Taxes by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner of the Security for
whose benefit such Holder holds such Security) having some connection with the
Kingdom of Spain other than the mere holding of the Security or the mere
crediting of the Security to its securities account with the relevant
Depository;




     (ii) in the case of a Security presented for payment (where presentation is
required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to
the extent that a Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on
presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have
been a business day in such place of presentment;




     (iii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder in respect of whom the
Company or the Guarantor (or the Paying Agent on its behalf) has not received
all details concerning such Holder’s identity and tax residence as it requires
in order to comply with Spanish Law 13/1985 of 25 May (as amended by Spanish Law
19/2003 of 4 July and Law 23/2005 of 18 November) and any implementing
legislation or regulation no later than 10.00 a.m. (CET) on the 10th calendar
day of the month following the Relevant Date upon which the payment was due (or
if such date is not a day on which commercial banks are open for general
business in Spain, the day immediately preceding such date);




     (iv) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an
individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive
2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN
Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings or any law



B-4









 







implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such
Directive or law; or




     (v) in respect of any Security presented for payment by or on behalf of a
Holder 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.



     Nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on any Security to any Holder
who is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner
of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain
(or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a
beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, member of such partnership, interest holder
in that limited liability company or beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such
Additional Amounts had it been a Holder of such Security.



     For the purposes of (ii) 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 the
Indenture.




     (b) All (but not less than all) of the Securities may be redeemed in accordance with
the terms of Article 11 of the Indenture at the option of the Company, subject to the
prior approval of the Bank of Spain, if, as the result of any change in or any amendment
to the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Spain (including any treaty to which Spain
is a party) or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power
to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or
regulations, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on
or after ___, 20___, either (i) it is determined by the Company or the Guarantor that in
making payment under the Securities or the Guarantee, the Company or the Guarantor, as the
case may be, would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect thereto as a
result of any taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges imposed (whether by way
of withholding or deduction or otherwise) by or for the account of the Kingdom of Spain
and which obligation cannot be avoided by the Company or the Guarantor taking measures
available to it without unreasonable cost or expense, or (ii) the Guarantor is or would be
required to deduct or withhold tax on any payment to the Company to enable the Company to
make any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Securities and such deduction
or withholding cannot be avoided by the Guarantor taking measures available



B-5









 







to it without unreasonable cost or expense (excluding the assumption of the Company’s
obligations under the Securities by the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Guarantor);
provided that no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than
60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may
be, would be obligated to deduct or withhold or pay such Additional Amounts were a payment
in respect of the Securities or the Guarantee then due.



     Prior to any notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company or
the Guarantor shall provide the Trustee with (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Guarantor stating
that the Company or the Guarantor is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in
reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right
of the Company or the Guarantor to redeem such Securities pursuant to this paragraph have been
satisfied; (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, has or will become obliged to make such withholding or deduction or to pay such additional
amounts as a result of such change or amendment; and (iii) a copy of the Bank of Spain’s consent to
such redemption.



     4. Certain Covenants of the Company and the Guarantor. The Indenture contains certain
covenants of the Company and the Guarantor, including covenants as to the payment of principal of
and interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Securities, the maintenance of offices for

B-6









 






     (d) an order is made by any competent court commencing insolvency proceedings
(procedimientos concursales) against the Guarantor or an order is made or a resolution is

as amended and restated) and will have a rating for long-term senior debt assigned by
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Moody’s Investors Services or Fitch Ratings Ltd
equivalent to or higher than the rating for long-term senior debt of the Guarantor

     Nothing in the Regulations or duties of the Commissioner will limit or restrict the ability of

Security containing identical terms and of like principal and bearing a number not

case, the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company, the Guarantor and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify and defend and
to save each of them and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee harmless and, in
every case of destruction, loss or theft evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent
destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

the Company, will pay 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 with the preparation and issuance of the substitute Security.





     (b) The Securities are issuable only in registered form and without coupons. Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to

     (d) The costs and expenses of effecting any exchange, transfer or registration of

B-10









 





     10. Paying Agent; Transfer Agent; Registrar. The Company hereby initially appoints the Paying
Agent, transfer agent and Security Registrar listed at the foot of this Security. The Company may
at any time appoint additional or other paying agents, transfer agents and registrars and terminate
the appointment thereof; provided that while the Securities are Outstanding the Company will
maintain offices or agencies for the payment of principal of and interest (including Additional
Amounts) on this Security as herein provided in New York City. Notice of any such termination or
appointment and of any change in the office through which any Paying Agent, transfer agent or
Security Registrar will act will be promptly given in the manner described in paragraph 12 hereof.



     11. Enforcement. Except as provided in Section 5.07 of the Indenture, no Holder of any
Security shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture
or of these terms to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or
with respect to the Indenture or of the Securities or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to
the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities, (b) the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding 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 and such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (c) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
institute any such proceeding, and (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities.



     12. Notices. Where the Indenture or the Regulations provides for notice to Holders of any
event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears
in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In addition to the foregoing, notice of any meeting of
Holders of Securities shall be given in accordance with Section 1.04(c) of the Indenture and the
Regulations of the Syndicate.



     In addition, the Company shall cause any publications of such notices as may be required from
time to time by applicable Spanish law.



     13. Prescription. All claims made against the Company or the Guarantor for payment of
principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts) on, or in respect of, the Securities shall
become void unless made within ten years (in the case of principal) and five years (in the case of
interest (including Additional Amounts)) from the later of (a) the date on which such payment first
became due and (b) if the full amount payable has not been received by the



B-11









 




Trustee in New York City on or prior to such due date, the date on which the full amount is so
received.




     14. Authentication. This Security shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose until
the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by
the manual signature of one of its authorized officers or by the Authenticating Agent.



     15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process. (a) This Security shall be governed by
and construed under the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made or instruments
entered into and, in each case, performed in said state, except that the authorization and
execution by the Company of the Securities and paragraphs 7(a),
19(a), 19(b) and 20 shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with Spanish law. The Regulations of each
Syndicate and the duties of and all other matters relating to Commissioner
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Spanish law.




     (b) In the Indenture, each of the Company and the Guarantor has irrevocably submitted
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or state court in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, New York over any suit or proceeding arising out of or
relating to the Indenture, any Security or the Guarantee. In addition, each of the
Company and the Guarantor has irrevocably waived, to the extent it may effectively do so,
any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such
suit or proceeding brought in such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any suit or
proceeding arising out of or relating to the Guarantee may also be brought in the courts
of Madrid, Spain.




     (c) As long as any of the Securities remains outstanding, each of the Company and the
Guarantor will at all times have an authorized agent in New York City upon which process
may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture, the
Guarantee or any Security. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such
service mailed or delivered to the Company or the Guarantor shall to the extent permitted
by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, in any such legal action or proceeding. Each of the
Company and the Guarantor has appointed Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., New York
Branch as its agent for such purpose, and has covenanted and agreed that service of
process in any suit or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at Banco
Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 45th Floor, New York, New
York, 10105, U.S.A., (or at such other address or at the office of such other authorized
agent as the Company or the Guarantor may designate in accordance with Section 1.16 of the
Indenture).



B-12









 





     16. Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect
to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.



     17. Assumption of the Securities. The Guarantor or any controlled subsidiary of the Guarantor
may assume the obligations of the Company under the Securities, subject to prior consent of the
Bank of Spain, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities. In the event of any such
assumption, all obligations of the Company under the Securities shall immediately be discharged.
Any Securities so assumed, except if assumed by the Guarantor, will have the benefit of the
Guarantee. In the event of such an assumption, Additional Amounts under the Securities will be
payable in respect of taxes imposed by the assuming corporation’s jurisdiction of incorporation
(subject to exceptions equivalent to those that apply to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts
in respect of taxes imposed by the Taxing Jurisdiction or the Guarantee, as the case may be, in
respect of taxes imposed by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain) rather than taxes imposed by the
Kingdom of Spain. Additional Amounts with respect to payments of interest or principal due prior
to the date of such merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance or lease will be payable only in
respect of taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Spain. Additional Amounts with respect to payments of
interest or principal due prior to the date of such assumption will be payable only in respect of
taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Spain. The Guarantor or the Controlled Subsidiary thereof that
assumes the obligations of the Company in such cases will also be entitled to redeem the Securities
in the circumstances described in paragraph 3(b) hereof with respect to any change or amendment to,
or change in the application or official interpretation of the laws or regulations of such
jurisdiction which change or amendment occurs subsequent to the date of any such assumption. In
the event of any such assumption, all obligations of the Company under the Securities shall
immediately be discharged.



     18. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings appearing in these terms are for
convenience of reference only and shall not alter, limit or define the provisions hereof.



     19. Subordination. (a) The obligations of the Company under the Securities, whether on
account of principal, interest or otherwise, constitute direct, unconditional and subordinated
obligations of the Company. If and to the extent that there is a deficiency in any payment in
respect of the Securities and such deficiency is not remedied as a result of a demand for payment
under the Guarantee (but without prejudice to the subordinated status of the Guarantee pursuant to
Article 15 of the Indenture) the claims of the Holders in respect of such deficiency will, in the
event of insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or
mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure, fall within the category of subordinated
credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) and will rank in right of
payment after Company Senior Indebtedness and will at all times rank pari passu



B-13









 




among themselves and pari passu with all other present and future subordinated credits
(créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company, except for certain
subordinated obligations prescribed by law and subordinated obligations which are expressed to rank
junior to the Securities. Accordingly, no amount shall be payable by the Company to the Holders in
respect of such deficiency until the claims with respect to all Company Senior Indebtedness (other
than as aforesaid) admitted in the insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or
any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure have been satisfied pursuant to
the laws of the Kingdom of Spain and any amounts in respect of such deficiency thereafter paid to
the Trustee will be pari passu with the amounts payable with respect to subordinated credits
(créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company in the insolvency
(concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company
liquidation or similar procedure and shall be held by the Trustee in trust to apply the same:





     (i) first, in payment or satisfaction of the costs, charges, expenses and
liabilities incurred by the Trustee in or about the execution of the trusts of
these presents and any unpaid remuneration of the Trustee;




     (ii) second, in payment or satisfaction of claims related to Company Senior
Indebtedness that have been belatedly or inaccurately communicated to the
insolvency administrator or which, by administrative order or decision, are
deemed to be included in those claims that have been belatedly or inaccurately
communicated to the insolvency administrator;




     (iii) third, in payment or satisfaction of contractually subordinated
payments of principal on subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as
defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company (including any payments in respect
of principal of the Securities) and any other payments in respect of
subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law)
of the Company other than payments set forth in subparagraph (iv) below;




     (iv) fourth, in payment or satisfaction of payments of interest, including
additional amounts, if any, and interest, if any, on such interest due on
subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law)
of the Company (including any payments in respect of interest and Additional
Amounts, if any, on the Securities) (excluding interest on secured indebtedness
to the extent secured);




     (v) fifth, in payment or satisfaction of fines or any other monetary
penalties or sanctions;



B-14









 








     (vi) sixth, in payment or satisfaction of claims of creditors which are
related to the Company as set forth in article 93 of the Insolvency Law; and




     (vii) seventh, in payment or satisfaction of indebtedness arising from
transactions set aside by the Spanish court overseeing the insolvency proceeding
(rescisión concursal) and in respect of which such court has determined that the
relevant creditor has acted in bad faith.




     (b) Each Holder of this Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
the subordination of the Securities as provided in this paragraph 19 and Article 14 of the
Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.



     (c) “Company Senior Indebtedness” means Senior Indebtedness of the Company.



     “Insolvency Law” means the Spanish law 22/2003 of June 9 as amended from time to time.



     “Senior Indebtedness” means, with respect to any Person, all rights and claims, whether
outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed,
and all amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of indebtedness or
obligations represented by such rights and claims, (i) of privileged creditors (acreedores
privilegiados), unsecured and unsubordinated creditors (acreedores comunes) and insolvency estate
creditors (acreedores contra la masa) of such Person, as determined in accordance with the
Insolvency Law; or (ii) if such Insolvency Law is no longer in effect, all of such rights and
claims of all creditors of such Person, unless in any such case the instrument by which the
indebtedness or obligations represented by such rights and claims are created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed by such Person, or are evidenced, provides that they are subordinate, or are not
superior, in right of payment to this Security.



     20. Certain Undertakings by Holders. (a) Each Holder by his acceptance of this Security
agrees to the subordination of the Guarantee as set forth in the Guarantee. Each Holder
irrevocably waives his rights of priority which would otherwise be accorded to him under the laws
of the Kingdom of Spain, to the extent necessary to effectuate the subordination provisions of
Section (f) of the Guarantee.




     (b) Each Holder by his acceptance of this Security authorizes and directs the Trustee
on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination of the Guarantee



B-15









 






as provided in the Guarantee and Article 15 of the Indenture and appoints the Trustee
his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.



     All capitalized terms used in this Security but not otherwise defined herein are used as
defined in the Indenture and shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     [The Company further unconditionally promises, subject to paragraph 2(b) of the Terms and
Conditions of the Securities referred to below, to pay interest in arrears on                                          and
