all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, the first payment of interest thereon
and/or the issue price), so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series
with the Outstanding Designated Securities; provided, however, that any
such further issuance will only be made if either such additional securities are issued with

the interest payment shall be postponed to the next day that is a Fixed Rate Business Day, and no
interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date.



     (f) If the Stated Maturity of any Designated Security is not a Fixed Rate Business Day,
payment of principal and interest on the applicable Designated Security will be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Fixed Rate Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from
and after such Stated Maturity.



     (g) Subject to and in accordance with the Tax Certification Procedures, interest on each

the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer and the Guarantor agree:




     (i) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed in
writing with the Issuer and the Guarantor for all services rendered by the Paying Agent,

receipt of such invoices as the Issuer and the Guarantor shall reasonably require. The
Issuer and the Guarantor agree to indemnify the Paying Agent for, and to hold it harmless
against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses (including the costs and
expenses of defending against any claim of liability) incurred by the Paying Agent that
arises out of or in connection with its acting as Paying Agent hereunder, except such as
may result from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad



8









 







faith of the Paying Agent or any
of its agents or employees. The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer and the Guarantor for, or in respect of, any
actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying
Agent in reliance upon (A) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon
obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or the Guarantor or (B) written
instructions from the Issuer and the Guarantor. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive the termination of this Supplemental Indenture.




     (ii) In acting under the Indenture and in connection with the Designated Securities,
the Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and the Guarantor and does not
assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the
Holders of the Designated Securities.




     (iii) The Paying Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in
respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance
upon the terms of the Designated Securities, any notice, direction, certificate,
affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it
to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.




     (iv) The Paying Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are herein
specifically set forth and any duties necessarily incidental thereto, and no implied
duties or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Paying Agent.




     (v) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice,
request, direction or other communication from the Issuer or the Guarantor made or given
by it under any provision of the Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by any proper
officer or an authorized person of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be.




     (vi) The Paying Agent may, upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer and
the Guarantor, perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys, and the Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.




     (vii) Under no circumstances will any party to this Supplemental Indenture be liable
to any other party to this Supplemental Indenture for any special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage (including, but not limited to, the loss of business,
goodwill, opportunity or profit) whether or not foreseeable and even if advised of the
possibility of such



9









 







loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for loss or damage
is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary
obligation or otherwise.



     (d) (i) The Paying Agent may at any time resign as Paying Agent by giving written notice to
the Issuer and the Guarantor of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its
desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier
than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer and the Guarantor, unless the Issuer
and the Guarantor agree in writing to accept less notice. The Paying Agent may be removed (with or
without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of
the Issuer and the Guarantor by any proper officer or an authorized person thereof and specifying
such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective, subject to (if such Paying Agent
is not the Trustee) the written consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the date of the appointment by
the Issuer and the Guarantor, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Paying Agent. If within 60
days after notice of
resignation or removal has been given, a successor Paying Agent has not been appointed, the
Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent. A
successor Paying Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer and the Guarantor by an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and the Guarantor, as the case may be, by any proper officer
or an authorized person thereof and the successor Paying Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor
Paying Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Paying Agent so superseded shall cease
to be such Paying Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Paying Agent shall be
entitled to the payment by the Issuer and the Guarantor of its compensation, if any is owed to it,
for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder.

predecessor and to the Issuer and the Guarantor an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon such successor Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts,
immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally
named as such Paying Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges
and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and
such successor Paying Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records
maintained by such predecessor Paying Agent.




     (iii) Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which
the Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any



10









 







Person resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Paying Agent, or all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and provided that it shall have an established place of
business in The City of New York, be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or sale shall
forthwith be given to the Issuer and the Guarantor within 30 days of such merger,
conversion, consolidation or sale.

Trustee in writing that it has reasonably elected to cause the issuance of Designated Securities
represented by Definitive Certificates or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an
Event of Default with respect to the Designated Securities and the Designated Securities will be

     (d) Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) of (c) above,
Designated Securities represented by Definitive Certificates shall be (i) delivered by the Trustee
in exchange for beneficial interest in Designated Securities represented by Global Certificates and

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.11, the provisions of Section 10.4 of the
Original Indenture will apply to the Designated Securities; provided, however, that the Issuer and
the Guarantor will not be required to pay any Additional Amounts in respect of any Designated
Security:




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




     (ii) to a Holder of such Designated Security 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 Designated Security) as
it may require in order to comply with Law 13/1985 of May 25, as amended, 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

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

deduction by presenting the relevant Designated Security to another paying agent;




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

13









 







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 Designated Securities 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; or




     (viii) in the event that the Designated Securities are redeemed pursuant to Section
2.12. (b) hereof.



     (b) In the event of an early redemption of the Designated Securities for the reasons set forth
in Section 11.8(b) of the Original Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may
be required to withhold tax and will pay interest in respect of the principal amount of the
Designated Securities redeemed net of the withholding tax applicable to such payments. If this were
to occur, Beneficial Owners would have to either follow the “Quick Refund Procedures” set forth in
Article II of Annex A or Article II of Annex B, as applicable, to the Letter of Appointment or
follow the “Direct Refund from Spanish Tax Authorities Procedure” set forth in Annex C to the
Letter of Appointment.



     Section 2.12. Redemption. (a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Original Indenture will
apply to the Designated Securities. The “Redemption
Price” means: (A) with respect to any Designated Securities to be redeemed other than pursuant
to Section 11.8 of the Original Indenture, an amount equal to the greater of: (x) 100% of the
principal amount of such Designated Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (as defined below) of such Designated Securities and
(y) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon (exclusive of interest
accrued thereon to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date of the Designated
Securities being redeemed on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points for the Designated Securities being
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Designated Securities
(or any portion thereof) being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated
Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed; and (B) with respect to any Designated
Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.8 of the Original Indenture or Section 2.12 (b) of
this Supplemental Indenture, an amount equal to their principal amount, together with accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date. The “Redemption Date” of any
Designated Securities to be redeemed will be any Fixed Rate Business Day fixed by the Issuer for
redemption of such Designated Securities and specified in the applicable notice of redemption
provided by the



14









 







Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Original Indenture; provided,
however, that the Redemption Date of any Designated Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section
11.8(a) of the Original Indenture shall be an Interest Payment Date.



     (b) In addition, if the Designated Securities are not listed on an organized market in an OECD
country no later than 45 days prior to the initial Interest Payment Date, 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 the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest
Payment Date) to the Holders of the Designated Securities and upon proper notice as provided in
this Indenture (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all of the outstanding Designated
Securities at the applicable Redemption Price specified in Section 2.12(a)(B) of this Supplemental
Indenture; provided that from and including the issue date of the Designated Securities to and
including such Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain or
maintain such listing, as applicable.



     Section 2.13. Applicable Procedures and Tax Certification Procedures. The Trustee and
Paying Agent shall comply with the Applicable Procedures and Tax Certification Procedures with
respect to any Designated Securities (and any beneficial interest therein).



     Section 2.14. Maintenance of Tax Certification Procedures. So long as any principal amount
of the Designated Securities remains outstanding, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall, insofar as it
is practicable, maintain, implement or
arrange for the implementation of Tax Certification Procedures that will facilitate the
collection of information concerning the Designated Securities or the Beneficial Owners thereof so
long as such collection is required under Spanish law to allow payment of interest on the
Designated Securities free and clear of Spanish withholding tax.

hereinafter), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns,
the principal sum of $900,000,000 on April 27, 2015 and, subject to and in accordance with the Tax
Certification Procedures, to pay interest thereon from April [•], 2010, or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, in arrears on April 27
and October 27 of each year, beginning on October 27, 2010, at the rate of 3.729% per annum until the
Stated Maturity, and on the Stated Maturity.




     Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Except as
provided below for the first Interest Payment Date, on each Interest Payment Date, the Issuer or
the Guarantor (as defined herein), as the case may, be will pay interest on the Designated
Securities (as defined herein) for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding
Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest
Payment Date. On the first Interest Payment Date, the Issuer or the Guarantor (as defined herein),
as the case may be, will pay interest for the period beginning on and including the issue date and
ending on and including October 26, 2010. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a
Fixed Rate Business Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next day that is a Fixed
Rate Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date. If the Stated Maturity of the Designated Securities is not a Fixed Rate
Business Day, payment of principal and interest on the Designated Securities will be made on the
next succeeding day that is a Fixed Rate Business Day and no interest will accrue for the period

Securities represented hereby (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, which shall be the tenth New
York Business Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such
Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name the Designated Securities
represented hereby (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee,
notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Designated Securities not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Designated Securities may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.



     For informational purposes only, without any substantive effect whatsoever and solely in order
to comply with Article 291, letter (d) of the

Spanish Corporations Law (Ley de Sociedades Anónimas), approved by Royal Decree (Real Decreto
Legislativo) 1564/1989, of December 22, as amended, it is hereby noted that the aggregate principal
amount of the Designated Securities was equivalent to €[•], based on the Noon Buying Rate as

REVERSE OF SECURITY CERTIFICATE





     This Security Certificate is one of the Security Certificates representing a duly authorized
issue of Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Designated Securities”), issued under an Indenture,
dated as of May 8, 2009 (as amended and supplemented, the “Original Indenture”), among the Issuer,
Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (herein
called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to
herein), and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (herein called
the “Trustee”, which term includes any other successor trustee under the Indenture), as
supplemented with respect to the Designated Securities by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of April [•], 2010, among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee
and Paying Agent (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, as
supplemented, the “Indenture”) and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Designated Securities and of the terms upon which
each Security Certificate representing the Designated Securities is, and is to be, authenticated
and delivered.



     The Designated Securities will be subject to redemption at any time, as a whole or in part, at
the election of the Issuer at a Redemption Price which is equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the
principal amount of the Designated Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities to be redeemed; and
(ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon (exclusive of interest
accrued thereon to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date of such Designated
Securities being redeemed on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points for the Designated Securities being
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Designated Securities
(or any portion thereof) being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated
Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed. Any such redemption will be made in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture.



     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining
Life”) of the Designated Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Designated Securities being
redeemed.



A-5









 





     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker
obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
Quotations or, if only one such Quotation is obtained, such Quotation.



     “Independent Investment Banker” means an independent investment banking institution of
national standing appointed by the Issuer and the Guarantor.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Banc of America Securities LLC, Credit Suisse
Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., UBS Securities LLC and their affiliates or their
respective successors, provided that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.
government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer and the
Guarantor will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer and the Guarantor.



     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the
bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of
its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by the Reference
Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third New York Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.



     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading
which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently
published statistical release designated “H. 15(519)” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes
yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the
caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury
Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a
straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), (2) if the period from the Redemption Date to
the maturity date of the Designated Securities to be redeemed is less than one year, the weekly
average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity
of one year, or (3) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week
preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a



A-6









 




percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption
Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker on the third New
York Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.




     The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Designated Securities,
create and issue further Securities having the same terms and conditions as the previously issued
Designated Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, the first
payment of interest thereon and/or the issue price), so that such further issue shall be
consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Designated Securities; provided,
however, that, any such further issuance will only be made if either such additional securities are
issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
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.



     The Designated Securities may be redeemed upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice
(ending on an Interest Payment Date) given as provided in the Indenture, if (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 Designated Securities, (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 Designated Securities and 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, at a Redemption Price equal to their
principal amount, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to but excluding the Redemption
Date.



     If the Designated Securities are not listed on an organized market in an OECD country no later
than 45 days prior to the initial Interest Payment Date on such Designated 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 the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest
Payment Date) to the Holders of such Designated Securities and upon proper notice as provided in
the Indenture, which notice shall be irrevocable, redeem all of the



A-7









 




outstanding Designated Securities at their principal amount, together with accrued interest,
if any, thereon to but not including the Redemption Date; provided that from and including the
issue date of such Designated Securities to and including such Interest Payment Date, the Issuer
will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain or maintain such listing, as applicable. In the
event of an early redemption of the Designated Securities for the reason set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may be required to
withhold tax and will pay interest in respect of the principal amount of the Designated Securities
redeemed net of the withholding tax applicable to such payments. If this were to occur, Beneficial
Owners would have to either follow the “Quick Refund Procedures” set forth in Article II of Annex A
or Article II of Annex B, as applicable, to the Letter of Appointment or follow the “Direct Refund
from Spanish Tax Authorities Procedure” set forth in Annex C to the Letter of Appointment.




     In the event of redemption of the Designated Securities represented by this Security
Certificate in part only, a new Security Certificate representing the unredeemed portion of the
Designated Securities represented hereby will be issued and registered in the name of the Holder of
the Designated Securities represented hereby upon the cancellation hereof.



     All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, redemption amount, interest or
otherwise) in respect of the Designated Securities and the Designated 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, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall pay such
Additional Amounts as will result in receipt by the Holders of the Designated 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 Designated Security:




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




     (2) to a Holder of such Designated Security in respect of whom the Issuer or the
Guarantor does not receive such information



A-8









 







(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 Designated Security) as it may require in order to comply with Law 13/1985
of May 25, as amended, Royal Decree 1065/2007 of July 27 and any implementing legislation
or regulation;




     (3) 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;




     (4) 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;




     (5) 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 Designated Security to another paying agent;




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




     (7) to or for the benefit of a Spanish-resident legal entity subject to Spanish
Corporate Income Tax if (a) the Spanish-resident legal 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 Designated Securities 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; or




     (8) in the event that the Designated Securities are redeemed pursuant to Section 2.12
(b) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture;


provided further that Additional Amounts in respect of the Designated Securities will also not be
paid with respect to any payment to a Holder of any Designated






A-9









 







Securities 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.




     “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.

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.

Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of the Designated Securities represented by this Security Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of the Designated Securities
represented by this Security Certificate and of the Designated Securities represented by any
Security Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer of the Designated Securities
represented by this Security Certificate or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security Certificate.

accrued and unpaid thereon and Additional Amounts, 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 Designated Securities of such series shall have been cured.




     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the Designated Securities or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional,

(iii) by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary. Beneficial interests in a Designated Security represented by a Global
Certificate will be exchangeable for Certificated Securities of this series only if: (a) the
Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or
that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice
from the Depositary, (b) the Issuer notifies the Trustee in writing that it has reasonably elected
to cause the issuance of Certificated Securities of this series or (c) there shall have occurred
and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Designated Securities and the Designated
Securities will be accelerated in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture. Upon
the occurrence of any of the events specified in (a), (b) or (c) above, Certificated Securities of
this series shall be (x) delivered by the Trustee in exchange for beneficial interest in Designated
Securities represented by Global Certificates and (y) registered in such names, and issued in such
authorized denominations, as shall be requested by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance
with its customary procedures.



     As provided in the Indenture, the Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee a Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Issuer shall provide for the registration of Designated Securities and of transfers of Designated
Securities.

Designated Security represented hereby, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the
