Should the Company make any payment in favour of
the supposed legitimate holder, it shall be released, although said holder may not be the real holder of the share, provided that the Company has acted in good faith and without any gross negligence.

Article 7.- Shareholders rights

The share confers the
condition of shareholder on its legitimate holder and gives him the rights recognized in the Law and in the present Articles of Association:

In the terms
established in the Law and save in those cases contemplated therein, the shareholder has at least the following rights:



|a) | The right to share in the distribution of the business profits and in the assets resulting from liquidation.

LOGO



The holders of non-voting shares shall be entitled
to receive a minimum annual dividend of five per cent of the paid-up capital for each non-voting share, as well as the other rights established by the Law. After the minimum dividend has been resolved, the holders of non-voting shares shall be
entitled to the same dividend as that corresponding to ordinary shares.

Article 9.- Capital calls and default by the Shareholder

The shareholder is obliged to pay the part of the capital not paid up in the manner and terms decided upon by the Board of Directors.

Any shareholder who has not paid such calls within the period established for said payment of unpaid capital shall be in default.

Shareholders in arrears with the payment of calls on share capital may not exercise their voting right. The amount of their shares shall be deducted from the capital
stock for the calculation of the quorum.

Neither shall defaulting shareholders be entitled to receive dividends or to preferential subscription in new
shares or convertible bonds. Once the amount of the capital calls has been paid, together with the owed interests, the shareholder may claim the payment of the dividends not prescribed, but may not claim the right to preferential subscription if the
period for exercising it has already expired.

When the shareholder is in default, the Company may, as appropriate and in view of the nature of the unpaid
contribution, claim the fulfillment of the payment obligation, with payment of the legal interest and any damages caused by the delayed payment, or transfer the shares for account and risk of the defaulting shareholder or file summary proceedings
for collection against the assets of the shareholder in order to collect in cash the undelivered unpaid part of the capital together with the interest.

In any capital increase involving the issue of new
shares, the existing shareholders and holders of convertible bonds may exercise the right to subscription in the new issue to a number of shares in proportion to the nominal value of the shares already held or to those that would correspond to
holders of convertible bonds should conversion be carried out at that time, within the time limit established for that purpose by the General Meeting of Shareholders or by the Board of Directors, which may not be less than the time period
established by applicable law in force at the time.

The right to preferential subscription shall not be applicable when the capital increase is due to the
conversion of bonds into shares, or to the absorption of another company or part of the assets separated from another company, or when the General Meeting of Shareholders, when deciding on the capital increase, resolves the total or partial
suppression of such right, pursuant to the requirements of section 159 of the Revised Text of the Joint-Stock Companies Act.

vote of the majority of the voting capital present and represented at the General Meeting, with the exceptions contemplated in the Law and in these Articles of Association.

The maximum number of votes to be cast at a General Meeting of Shareholders by a sole shareholder or by the companies appertaining to the same Group of companies will be 10 per cent of the total share-capital
with voting rights. To this extent it is understood that companies controlled by another company, as defined by article 4 of the Ley de Mercado de Valores (Securities Market Act) of July 28th, 1988 in force, appertain to the same
Group of companies. The vote limitation established by this article will not prevent the total number of shares attending the meeting from being counted to determine whether a quorum is present.

Article 28.- Right to information

The shareholders may request in
writing prior to any General Meeting or verbally during the same, such reports or clarifications as they may consider necessary with regard to the matters included on the agenda. The Board of Directors shall be obliged to provide such reports or
clarifications, save in those cases in which, in the Chairmans opinion, publicizing the details requested would go against the Companys interests.

This exception shall not be applicable when the request is supported by shareholders who represent at least one quarter of the capital.

Article 29.- Minutes of the General Meeting of
Shareholders

The minutes of the General Meeting may be approved by the Meeting itself at the end of the session, or otherwise within a period of
fifteen days, by the Chairman of the General Meeting and two scrutineers, one representing the majority and the other representing the minority.

The minutes, approved by either method, shall be enforceable as from the date of their approval.

Should a General Meeting
be held with the presence of a notary public required by the Board of Directors to issue a certificate, pursuant to section 114 of the Joint-Stock Companies Act, the notarial certificate shall be considered as the minutes of the General Meeting, and
shall not, therefore, require its approval.

CHAPTER II

Board of Directors

SECTION 1

General Provisions

Article 30.- Structure of the Companys administration.

The Company shall be administered and governed by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors shall approve the Regulations of the Board of Directors which shall contain the rules governing the functioning and internal regime on applying the legal and statutory provisions. The General
Shareholders Meeting shall be informed of the approval of the Regulations of the Board of Directors and their later amendments.



21

LOGO



The Regulations of the Board shall take into
consideration and adapt to the specific circumstances and needs of the Company the principles and rules contained in the recommendations of Good Governance that are most highly regarded at any particular time. This indication is merely for guidance
purposes and in no case shall it deprive the Board of its powers or responsibilities of self-governance.

SECTION 2

Composition, Powers and Functioning of the Board of Directors

Article 31.- Number of Board Members

The Board shall be made up of a maximum number of sixteen members and a minimum of nine.

The General Shareholders Meeting is responsible for determining the number, appointing and removing the Board Members.

The Board Members shall be elected by means of a vote. For this purpose, the shares that are voluntarily grouped, up to a total in capital that is equal or greater than
the result of dividing the latter by the number of Board Members, shall be entitled to appoint those who, exceeding whole fractions, are deducted from the corresponding proportion. In the case that use is made of this power, the shares grouped in
this way shall not take part in the appointment of the remaining members of the Board.



22



---

LOGO



Article 32.- Qualitative composition of the
Board

The classification is as follows:



|a) | Executive Directors are those who carry out executive or top management functions in the Company. In any case, those members will be classified as executive Directors who have
permanently delegated general powers of the Board or are bound by top management or service provision contracts whose purpose is to provide executive services under a full-time regime.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|b) | Institutional External Directors are those who are proposed by holders of significant stable shares in the capital of the Company, who represent a strategic value for the latter.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|c) | Independent External Directors are those who are not included in the two previous categories, appointed due to their renowned personal and professional prestige and their experience
and knowledge in order to exercise their functions, not bound to the executive team or to significant shareholders.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without this affecting
the sovereignty of the General Shareholders Meeting nor reducing the efficacy of the proportional system, which must be observed when shares are grouped as provided by the Joint Stock Companies Act, the General Shareholders Meeting, and
the Board of Directors in using its powers of proposal to the Shareholders Meeting and of co-opting in order to cover vacancies, shall ensure that, in the composition of the Board of Directors, the number of outside or non-executive Directors
shall constitute an ample majority with respect to the executive Directors.



23

LOGO



Article 33.- Powers of administration and
supervision

The Board of Directors shall be responsible for the governance, direction and administration of the business and interests of the Company
in all that which is not especially reserved by Law for the authority of the General Shareholders Meeting. Notwithstanding this, in general it will entrust the management of the ordinary business of the Company to the group bodies and
management team and will concentrate its activity on the general function of supervision and on considering those matters of particular importance to the Company, although its Regulations shall develop those powers reserved for the Board of
Directors.

Article 34.- Powers of representation

The
Board of Directors is responsible for representing the Company in and out of legal proceedings. This representation shall be extended, without any limitation, to all those acts contained within the Company purpose.

Similarly, the President of the Board of Directors also has the authority to represent the Company.

The power of representation of delegated bodies shall be governed by that established in the delegation agreement.

Article 35.- Board Meetings

The Board shall meet at least six times per year and as many other times as called by the President or whoever
is acting on his or her behalf and also when this is requested by the majority of the Directors. The meetings shall take place ordinarily at the company registered office but may also be held at another location, which shall be determined by the
President and indicated in the announcement.



24

LOGO



Exceptionally, if no Director is opposed to this,
the Board may be constituted in writing and without meeting. In this last case, the Directors may send their votes by email, as well as any considerations they wish to be recorded in the minutes.

The Board meeting may also be held in various rooms simultaneously, provided interactivity and inter-communication in real time between them is ensured by audiovisual or
telephonic means and, consequently, the unity of the act. In this case, the connection system and, should it be the case, the places where the technical media are available that are required in order to attend and participate in the meeting shall be
noted in the announcement. The resolutions shall be considered as adopted in the place where the President is located.

Article 36.- Operational aspects
of the meetings

The Board of Directors shall be validly constituted when half plus one of its components attend the meeting, either in person or
represented. Each Director may confer his or her representation onto another.

The President shall organize the debate in accordance with the Agenda,
promoting the participation of all Directors in the deliberations and ensuring the body is duly informed. To this end, the President may invite officers and specialists of the Company to take part in the meeting, with voice but without vote, as well
as any external experts that are considered suitable.

Except in those cases in which other higher voting majorities have been established, the resolutions
shall be adopted by absolute majority of the participants. In the case of a draw, the vote of the President or whoever is acting on his or her behalf shall be decisive. The minutes of the Board shall be recorded in the book especially designated for
this purpose and shall be signed by the President and the Secretary.

PART V

The Financial Year and the Annual Accounts

Article 48.- Financial Year

The Companys financial year will
commence on the lst of January and end on the 31st of December of each year.

Article 49.- Annual Accounts

Within a period not exceeding three months as from the close of the financial year, the Board of Directors must draw up the annual accounts, the management report and the
proposal for the application of the profits and, as the case may be, the consolidated accounts and management report.



34



---

LOGO



The annual accounts shall comprise the balance
sheet, profit and loss account and the annual report. These documents, which form a unit, must be drawn up clearly, in such a way as to give a true reflection of the Companys net worth, financial situation and results.

The annual accounts and the management report must be signed by all the Board members, and should the signature of any of the latter be omitted, this shall be indicated
on each of the documents on which it is lacking, with an express indication of the cause.

Article 50.- Audit

The Annual Financial Statements and the Management Report must be reviewed by the External Auditors, appointed by the General Shareholders Meeting before the end of
the fiscal year to be audited, for a set period of time that may not be less than three years nor more than nine years, to be counted as from the date on which the first fiscal year to be audited commences, and may be re-elected by the General
Shareholders Meeting annually, once the initial period has ended.

The General Shareholders Meeting may appoint as Auditors one or more
physical or legal persons who shall act jointly. When those appointed are physical persons, the Shareholders Meeting shall appoint as many replacements as main Auditors.

The Shareholders Meeting may not revoke the Auditors before the end of the period for which they have been appointed unless just cause is given.

If the General Shareholders Meeting does not comply with that established in this article, being required to do so, or the persons appointed do not accept the position or cannot fulfill their functions, the
Board of Directors, the Bondholders Trustee or any shareholder may request the Mercantile Registrar of the company registered office to appoint the person or persons that must carry out the audit, pursuant to that established in the
Regulations of the Mercantile Registry.



35

LOGO



When there is just cause, the administrators of the
Company and the persons that may legally request the appointment of the auditor may ask the Court of First Instance of the company registered office to revoke that appointed by the General Shareholders Meeting or by the Mercantile Registrar
and another to be appointed.

Article 51.- Approval of the accounts

The annual accounts shall be approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

To this end, and following the call of the
General Meeting, any shareholder may obtain from the Company, immediately and free of charge, the documents that are to be submitted for the approval of the Meeting and the report of the auditors. The notice of call shall mention this right.

Article 52.- Application of profits

The General
Meeting shall decide on the application of the profits for the financial year in accordance with the approved balance sheet.



36



---

LOGO



The distribution of dividends to ordinary
shareholders will be carried out in proportion to the capital they have paid up, at the time and in the form of payment determined by the General Meeting; should no decision be made in this sense, the dividend shall be paid at the registered office
as from the day following that of the resolution.

Dividends may only be distributed against the profits of the financial year or unrestricted reserves
when the value of the net worth is not, or will not become as a result of distribution, less than the capital stock.

Should there be losses from previous
years that would bring the value of the Companys net worth to below the sum of the capital stock, the profits shall be applied to offset such losses.

Neither may profits be distributed until the preliminary expenses and those of research and development and goodwill entered under assets on the balance sheet have been fully written-off, unless the amount of available reserves is at least
equal to the sum of non-amortized expenses.

A sum equal to 10% of the years profits shall be set aside for the legal reserve until this amounts to
at least 20% of the capital stock. Until such time as it exceeds said limit, the legal reserve may only be applied for offsetting losses in the event that no other sufficient reserves are available for the purpose. The above is without prejudice to
the provisions of section 157 of the Revised Text of the Joint-Stock Companies Act.

Finally, that part of the profits for the year resolved by the General
Meeting shall be applied to voluntary reserves and to contribute to funds for constructions, new investments and contingencies.



37



---

LOGO



After the above precautions have been taken and
other applications stipulated in the Law and the Articles of Association have been covered, the distribution of dividends against the profits for the financial year or unrestricted reserves may be resolved in the amount decided by the General
Meeting; any remainder shall be carried forward to the following financial year.

Article 53.- Interim dividends

The distribution of interim dividends to shareholders may only be resolved by the General Meeting or the Board of Directors under the following conditions: the Board of
Directors shall draw up an accounting statement showing that there is sufficient liquidity for the distribution, and the amount to be distributed may not exceed the sum of the profits obtained since the close of the last financial year, after
deducting the losses from previous years and the amounts to be set aside for legal and statutory reserves, as well as an estimation of the tax payable on said profits.

Article 54.- Deposit of the Annual Accounts

Within one month following the approval of the annual accounts, a
certificate accrediting the resolutions of the General Meeting approving the accounts and the application of the profits shall be presented at the Commercial Registry corresponding to the registered office, for deposit, together with a copy of each
of said accounts, the management report and the auditors report.

Article 55.- Winding-up
of the Company

and in the other events contemplated by prevailing legislation.

Article 56.- Liquidation of the Company

Once the Company has been dissolved, the period of liquidation shall commence, save in cases of total merger or demerger or any other of overall assignment of assets and
liabilities.

From the moment that the Company is declared in liquidation, the representation of the Board of Directors shall cease, in the terms
contemplated in the Revised Text of the Joint-Stock Companies Act, and the same General Meeting that has resolved the dissolution shall appoint an uneven number of persons to proceed with such liquidation and will draw up the rules for same,
pursuant to the legal provisions in force.
