 DESIGNATED SECURITIES

 Section 2.01.    Creation of Designated Securities. There is hereby created a new series of Securities to
be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Designated Securities”). The Designated Securities have been designated as series R of the Issuer in the public deed of issuance executed by
one of the Joint and Several Directors (Administradores Solidarios) of the Issuer on March 2, 2017. 

Section 2.02.    Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount of Designated Securities. The aggregate principal
amount of the Designated Securities shall initially be limited to $1,500,000,000 (except for Designated Securities represented by any Security Certificate authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu
of, other Designated Securities pursuant to Section 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, 9.6 or 11.7 of the Original Indenture and except for any Designated Securities which, pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Original Indenture, are deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered under the Indenture). 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 U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3) promulgated under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. 
 Section 2.03.    Payment of Principal. The principal of the Outstanding Designated Securities
shall be due and payable at the Stated Maturity.

 Section 2.04.    Interest and Interest Rate.  

(a)    The Designated Securities will bear interest from March 8, 2017 or from the most recent date through which the
Issuer has paid or provided for interest on the Designated Securities at an annual rate of 4.103%. 
 (b)    The Issuer
or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay interest on the Designated Securities semi-annually on March 8 and September 8 of each year, beginning on September 8, 2017 until the Stated Maturity, and on the Stated Maturity (each an
“Interest Payment Date”). 
 (c)    Interest on the Designated Securities will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Except as described below for the first Interest Payment Date, on each Interest Payment Date, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as
the case may be, will pay interest on the Designated Securities 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. 

(d)    On the first Interest Payment Date, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay interest for the
period beginning on and including the issue date of the Designated Securities and ending on and including September 7, 2017. 

(e)    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. 

(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)    Interest on each Designated Security will be paid only to the Person in whose name such Designated Security was
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the applicable Interest Payment Date. 

Section 2.05.    Paying Agent.

(b)    The Paying Agent shall exercise due care in performing the functions of the Paying Agent for the Designated
Securities. 
 (c)    The Paying Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to 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, and the Issuer and the Guarantor promise to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Paying Agent for the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon 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 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 

  
 5 








 
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 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. 

(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. 
 (ii)    Any successor Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall
execute and deliver to its 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. 

  
 6 








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

hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 1.5 of the Original Indenture. Any notice, communication or other document (other than a notice, communication or other document delivered pursuant to the procedures set forth in Exhibit B,

Section 10.2 of the Original Indenture, the principal of, and any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, the Designated Securities shall be payable, Security Certificates representing the Designated Securities may be

(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)    in respect of which the Holder (or the Beneficial Owner for whose benefit it holds such Designated
Security) is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges 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)    in respect of which the
Issuer or the Guarantor have not received such information as may be necessary to allow payments on such Designated Security to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax or deduction on account of Spanish taxes, including a duly executed and
completed Payment Statement from the Paying Agent, pursuant to Law 10/2014 of June 26 and Royal Decree 1065/2007 of July 27, each as amended, and any implementing legislation or regulation, or pursuant to any other law or regulation
substituting or amending such law or regulation; 
 (iii)    in relation to any estate, inheritance,
gift, sales, transfer or similar taxes; 
 (iv)    presented for payment (where presentation is required)
more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, 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; 

(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 Designated Security to another paying agent; 

(vi)    in the event that the Designated Securities are redeemed pursuant to Section 2.12(b) hereof;
or 
 (vii)    in respect of any withholding or deduction that is imposed pursuant to Sections 1471
through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction implementing or relating to FATCA, any law,
regulation, guidance or interpretations enacted or issued in any jurisdiction with respect thereto, or any agreements entered into in connection with the implementation thereof; 

  
 8 








 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 Securities who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or anything other than the sole Beneficial Owner of that payment, to the extent to
which 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 any Additional Amounts had it been the Holder.

 (b)    In the event of an early redemption of the Designated Securities pursuant to Section 2.12(b) of this
Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will be required to withhold tax and will pay interest in respect of the principal amount of the Designated Securities redeemed net of the Spanish withholding tax applicable to
such payments. If this were to occur, Beneficial Owners will have to follow the Direct Refund from Spanish Tax Authorities Procedures set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement in order to apply directly to the Spanish tax authorities for any
refund to which they may be entitled. 
 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 or
Section 2.12(b) of this Supplemental 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 45 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 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 organized market in an OECD country no later than 45
days prior to the first Interest Payment Date, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its respective 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 first 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. 
 In addition, if the Designated Securities are not listed on a regulated
market, multilateral trading facility or other organized market no later than 45 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its respective 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 first 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. 

  
 9 








 Section 2.13.    Procedures; Payment Statement. The Issuer, the
Guarantor and the Paying Agent shall, in connection with any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date in respect of an early redemption of the Designated Securities pursuant to Section 2.12(b) of this Supplemental
Indenture), comply with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, including the timely provision by the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement to the Issuer and the Guarantor. Compliance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit
B, including the timely provision by the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement to the Issuer and the Guarantor, shall not be required in connection with an early redemption of the Designated Securities pursuant to
Section 2.12(b) of this Supplemental Indenture. If the timely provision of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement is no longer necessary under Spanish law to allow payments on the Designated Securities to be made free and clear of
Spanish withholding tax or deduction on account of Spanish taxes, this Section 2.13 of this Supplemental Indenture shall cease to be in effect and the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Paying Agent shall no longer be required to comply with the
procedures set forth in Exhibit B, including the timely provision by the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement to the Issuer and the Guarantor with respect to any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date occurring on or
after the date on which the timely provision of such Payment Statement is no longer necessary under Spanish law to allow payments on the Designated Securities to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax or deduction on account of Spanish
taxes. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Paying Agent shall not be liable for any amounts owed to any person due to its failure to properly comply with the tax procedures referred to in Section 2.13 and
Section 2.14 of this Supplemental Indenture, except such as may result from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any of its agents or employees. 

Section 2.14.    Maintenance of Tax 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 procedures to facilitate the timely provision by the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed
Payment Statement in respect of the payments referred to in Section 2.13 of this Supplemental Indenture under the Designated Securities or the collection of any other documentation concerning the Designated Securities that may be required under
Spanish law to allow payments on the Designated Securities to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax. 

Section 2.15.    Certificated Securities. Any Certificated Securities issued in exchange for Beneficial
Interests in the Designated Securities represented by Global Certificates pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Original Indenture shall be issued in the State of New York. 

Section 2.16.    USA Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that, in accordance with Section 326 of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA Patriot Act”), the Trustee, like all
financial institutions, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that opens an account. The parties to this Supplemental Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such
information regarding the identification of the Issuer and the Guarantor as the Trustee may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act. 

Section 2.17.    Additional Rights. In addition to their rights under the Original Indenture, the parties
hereto shall be provided with the following additional rights: 
 (a)    The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated
herein shall not be construed as duties. 
 (b)     The parties hereto shall not be responsible or liable to one
another for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes;
fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military
authority or governmental actions; it being understood that the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

  
 10 








 (c)    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 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. 

  
 11 








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Fourth Supplemental Indenture to
be duly executed on its behalf as of the date first above written.

 TELEFÓNICA EMISIONES, S.A.U., a
sociedad anónima unipersonal incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (herein called the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to hereinafter), for value received,
hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $        on March 8, 2027, and to pay interest thereon from March 8, 2017, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, in arrears on March 8 and September 8 of each year, beginning on September 8, 2017 at the rate of 4.103% per annum until the Stated Maturity, and on the Stated
Maturity. 
 The Designated Securities are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. 

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve

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.

 GUARANTEE 

For value received, Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, having its
registered office at Gran Vía, 28, 28013 Madrid, Spain (herein called the “Guarantor” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to in each Security Certificate representing the Securities of any
series upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holders of the Securities of any series represented by each Security Certificate upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee, in its
individual and trust capacities, and on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and all other amounts due under the Indenture and the Securities of any such series when and as the
same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, on an unsubordinated and unconditional basis according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to
therein. In case of the failure of Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U. (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), punctually to make any such payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and
all other amounts due under the Indenture and on such Securities of any such series, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by
declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer. 
 The Guarantor hereby
further agrees that any amounts to be payable by the Guarantor under this Guarantee (whether in respect of principal, redemption amount, interest or otherwise) 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. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 10.4 of the Original Indenture (as such term is defined in each Security
Certificate representing the Securities of any series upon which this Guarantee is endorsed) and any Supplemental Indenture supplementing the Original Indenture pursuant to which the Securities of any series upon which this Guarantee is endorsed
have been issued, in the event that such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Guarantor shall pay such Additional Amounts as will result in receipt by the Holders of the Securities of any such series of such amounts as would have been
received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required. 
 The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute, full and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Securities of any such series or the
Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Securities of any such series or the Indenture, or any waivers, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer in respect thereof by the Holders of such Securities of any such series or the
Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the
consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Securities of any such series, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereon, or change the
provisions relating to payments of Additional Amounts thereon, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof or increase the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Original Indenture. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, the benefits of
orden, división and excusión under Spanish law, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever,
and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on such Securities of any such series and the Guarantor shall have fully
performed all its obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of any such series, this Guarantee and the Indenture; after such time, this Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 

  
 A-5 








 The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of such Securities of any such
series and the Trustee against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any
payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on all Securities of any such series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in
full. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of
the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, Additional Amounts, if any, and all other amounts due under the Securities of any series represented by each
Security Certificate upon which this Guarantee is endorsed. 
 The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall, without any
further act or thing being required to be done or to occur, extend to the obligations of any successor Person who is not the Guarantor arising in respect of the Securities of any such series by virtue of a substitution pursuant to the Indenture.

 The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee in respect of the Securities of any such series will constitute direct,
unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee and will rank pari passu without any preference among such obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee in respect of the Securities of any
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 this 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 the Kingdom of Spain. 
 This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of
authentication with respect to each Security Certificate representing the Securities of any such series upon which this Guarantee has been endorsed shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture. 

All capitalized terms used in this Guarantee, which are not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture. 
 The Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

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

Rate plus 45 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

“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

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

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 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 U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3)
promulgated under the U.S. 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 a day upon which interest is payable) 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 administrative 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 and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date. 
 If the Designated Securities are not listed on an organized market in an
OECD market or a regulated market, multilateral trading facility or other organized market no later than 45 days prior to the first 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 Outstanding Designated Securities at their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid 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, will be required to withhold tax and will pay interest in respect of the principal amount of the Designated
Securities redeemed net of the Spanish withholding tax applicable to such payments. If this were to occur, Beneficial Owners will have to follow the Direct Refund from Spanish Tax Authorities Procedures set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus
Supplement in order to apply directly to the Spanish tax authorities for any refund to which they may be entitled. 

  
 A-9 








 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: 
 (i)    in respect of which the Holder (or the Beneficial Owner for whose benefit it holds
such Designated Security) is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges 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)    in respect of
which the Issuer or the Guarantor have not received such information as may be necessary to allow payments on such Designated Security to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax or deduction on account of Spanish taxes, including a duly
executed and completed Payment Statement from the Paying Agent, pursuant to Law 10/2014 of June 26 and Royal Decree 1065/2007 of July 27, each as amended, and any implementing legislation or regulation, or pursuant to any other law or
regulation substituting or amending such law or regulation; 
 (iii)    in relation to any estate,
inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or similar taxes; 
 (iv)    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;

 (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 Designated Security to another paying agent; 

(vi)    in the event that the Designated Securities are redeemed pursuant to Section 2.12(b) of the
Fourth Supplemental Indenture; or 
 (vii)    in respect of any withholding or deduction that is imposed
pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction
implementing or relating to FATCA, any law, regulation, guidance or interpretations enacted or issued in any jurisdiction with respect thereto, or any agreements entered into in connection with the implementation thereof; 

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 Securities who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or anything other than the sole Beneficial Owner of that payment, to the extent to which 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 any 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 made available for payment to Holders, notice to
that effect is duly given to the Holders in accordance with the Indenture. 

  
 A-10 








 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. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the 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. 
 As set forth in, and subject to, the
provisions of the Indenture, if any Event of Default shall occur in relation to the Designated Securities (taking into account any applicable grace period), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Designated Securities may, by written notice to the Issuer, at the Corporate Trust Office (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare that the Designated Securities, including principal and all interest then accrued and unpaid on the
Designated Securities 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 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 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, to pay the principal of and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, interest on any overdue principal or premium on any overdue interest, on the Designated Securities at the rate or rates herein prescribed. 

Except as set forth in the Indenture, the Designated Securities represented hereby may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only:
(i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (ii) by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or (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. 

  
 A-11 








 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer
or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith other than as set forth in the Indenture. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security Certificate for registration of transfer of any Designated Security represented hereby, 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 Designated Security is registered as the owner of such Designated Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.8 of the Original Indenture) any interest on such Designated Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Designated 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. 
 Pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, the Indenture, the Designated Securities and the Designated Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York. 
 The Designated Securities and this Security Certificate will be deemed to have been issued in the State of New
York. 
 All terms used in this Security Certificate which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
