action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of 

  
 11 








 
any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of

(c) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of a series entitled to

set a record date for, and the provisions of this Section 1.04(c) shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in Section 1.04(d). If any record date is set pursuant to this
Section 1.04(c), the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that
no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as defined below) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
Section 1.04(c) shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this Section 1.04(c) (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically
and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this Section 1.04(c) shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 1.04(c), the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration
Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this Section 1.04(d), the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration,
request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this Section 1.04(d) shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to
this Section 1.04(d) (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this Section 1.04(d) shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 1.04(d), the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall
cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. 

(e) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section with respect to the Securities of a series, the party or parties hereto which
set such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new
Expiration Date is given to the other party or parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Expiration Date shall be designated later than the 180th day after the applicable record date and, if an Expiration Date is not designated, with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party or parties hereto which set such
record date shall be deemed to have designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto. 
 (f) The
ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 

(g) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future
Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in 

  
 12 








 
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act is made upon such Security. 
 Section
1.05. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. (a) Any request, demand, direction, notice, or record of an Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the
Trustee by any Holder, or any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver by the Company, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office. 
 (b) Any record of an Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or
furnished to, or filed with, the Company by the Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the

Section 1.06. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such Notice. 

(b) Any notice which is given in the manner provided in this Section 1.06 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail as provided by this Section 1.06, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such
notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 

(c) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 Section 1.07. Language of Notices. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 

Section 1.08. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision hereof modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so
modified or excluded, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 1.09. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 1.10. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements
in this Indenture made by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 1.11. Separability
Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or any Security shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

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

Security, or the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert Securities of a series that are convertible, shall be a Legal Holiday at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security other than
a provision in any Security that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, and such Securities need not be converted on such date but such payment may be made,
and such Securities may be converted, on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, or on such last day for
conversion and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such date or at such time for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be. 

Section 1.15. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which

 Section 2.03. Securities in Global Form. The Securities may be issuable in global form,
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibits B and C hereto or in such other form established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. If Securities of a series shall be issuable in global form, any
such Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon and
may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges of interests in the Global Security for Securities issued in definitive form on the books and
records of the Security Registrar. Any endorsement of any Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such
manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 and, if applicable, Section 3.04, the
Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Global Security in permanent form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 has
been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to a Global Security shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officer’s Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.07, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, payment of principal
of and any premium and interest on any Global Security in permanent form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified in the Global Security. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.08 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent Global Security in registered form, the Holder of such permanent Global Security in registered form. 

Section 2.04. Forms of Legends for Global Securities. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities
evidenced thereby, every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder which is deposited with The Depository Trust Company shall bear legends in substantially the following form: 

THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE
THEREOF. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN CERTIFICATED FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (THE “DEPOSITORY”) TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY OR
BY THE DEPOSITORY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITORY. UNLESS THIS GLOBAL SECURITY IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF

 17 








 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and
except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto pertaining to such Securities. The terms of the Securities of any series may provide, without limitation, that the Securities shall
be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon written order of persons designated in the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with
such Officer’s Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of the Securities of such series as are specified in such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture. All Securities of any one series need
not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided by the Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Securities. 

If any of the terms of the Securities of any series shall be established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Board
Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of such series. 

Section 3.02. Currency; Denominations. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the principal of, any premium and
interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities shall be payable in Dollars. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered form without coupons.
Securities shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture. 

Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one of the
representatives of the Company entitled to do so by Board Resolution or by any member of the Board of Directors. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, executed by the
Company, to the Trustee for authentication and, provided that the Board Resolution and Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 3.01 and a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof and of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, 
 (a) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: 

(i) the form or forms and terms of such Securities, if any, have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; 
 (ii) all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with and
that such Securities, when completed by appropriate insertion and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity
or at law) and will entitle the Holders thereof to the benefits of this Indenture; such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies; 

(iii) all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities, if any, have been
complied with; and 
 (iv) this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and 

(b) an Officer’s Certificate stating that, to the best knowledge of the Persons executing such certificate, no event which is, or after
notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 If
all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate at the time of issuance of each Security, but such opinion and certificate, with
appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. After any such first delivery, any separate request by the Company that the Trustee authenticate Securities of such series for
original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such Securities continue to have been complied with. 

  
 18 








 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to
authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken. 
 Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 2.02 or 6.13 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers or by the Authenticating Agent. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company,
and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities,
the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 3.03, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form. Such temporary Securities may be in global form. 

Except in the case of temporary Global Securities, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities
are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary
Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation
of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and containing
identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary Global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.05. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Company
shall cause to be kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Company shall provide for the registration of the Securities of such series and of transfers of the Securities of such series. Such Office or Agency shall be the “Security Registrar” for that series of Securities. In the event that the
Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times. The Bank of New York Mellon is hereby initially appointed as Security Registrar for each series of Securities. The Trustee
shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. Unless otherwise provided with respect to a particular series of Securities, there shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities. 

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like aggregate principal
amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. 
 (c) At the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged
at any Office or Agency for such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


  
 19 








 (d) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of
the Depository designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive registered securities, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of such
Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or by such Depository. Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities only if (i) the Depository is
at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depository or has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 60 days of the date the
Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that it has elected to cause the issuance of definitive registered Securities, (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Securities, or (iv) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.01. If the beneficial owners of
interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository or such other Depository as shall be specified in the
Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such other Depository, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by
an Officer’s Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for
definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of
the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the
Trustee to such Depository or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other Depository or U.S. Depository referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Security is issued in exchange for any
portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on
the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest
shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person
to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

(e) All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing
the same debt and entitling the Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(f) Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or
the Security Registrar for such Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto or in such other form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar
for such Security duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 (g) No service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange, or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) that
may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.05 or 11.07 not involving any transfer. 

(h) Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and the same series under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of
such selection, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed or (iii) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid. 

  
 20 








 Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. (a) If any mutilated
Security is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.06, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of
like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, appertaining to the surrendered Security. 
 (b) If there be
delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06, in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 (d) Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 (e) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series, if any, duly issued hereunder. 
 (f) The provisions of this Section, as
amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture with respect to particular Securities or generally, shall be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 Section 3.07. Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest
and Certain Additional Amounts Preserved. (a) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 

The Company shall, before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on each due date of the principal or (and premium, if any) or interest or any other
amounts due on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or any other amounts due or so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust by the Paying
Agent for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest or any other amounts due and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of its action or failure so
to act. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section by the designated Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall make payments on the Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

(b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security which
shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Security (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant
Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (i) or (ii) below: 

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

  
 21 








 
provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than ten days prior to the date of
the proposed payment and not less than ten days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Holder of such Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in
the Security Register not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee shall, at the instruction of the Company, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (ii). 
 (ii) The Company may make
payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by
the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 (c)
If so provided in the form of Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on Securities that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States. 

(d) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. (a) Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject to
Section 3.07) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company nor the Trustee or any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (b) No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global
Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of
such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between the Depository and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of the Depository as Holder of any Security. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of
beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit
against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities, as well as Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be cancelled
promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee
(or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder that the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be cancelled by
the Trustee in accordance with its customary practice, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it. 
 Section 3.10.
Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 ARTICLE 4 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 

Section 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. (a) Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Order (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange or conversion of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for and any right
to receive Additional Amounts), and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when 

(i) either 
 (A)
all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (y) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (z) Securities of such
series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (B) all Securities of such series and, in the case of (1) or (2) below, not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
 (1) have become due and payable, or 

(2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

(3) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of
(1), (2) or (3) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the
Maturity thereof, as the case may be; 
 (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by
the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series; and 
 (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with. 

(b) In addition, upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to a series of Securities which results in the redemption,
cancellation, or the conversion into other securities, of all the Amounts Due on the Securities of such series or such Securities otherwise ceasing to be outstanding, the Indenture shall be deemed satisfied and discharged as to such series of
Securities. 
 (c) In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. 

(d) Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company
to the Trustee under Sections 6.06 and 6.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (a)(i) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.03 and the last paragraph of
Section 10.03 shall survive. 
 Section 4.02. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. (a) If, pursuant to Section 3.01, provision is made
for either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under subsection (b) of this Section 4.02 or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities 

  
 23 








 
of or within a series under subsection (c) of this Section 4.02, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 4.02 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to such Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Company Order, at any time, with respect to such Securities, elect to have Section 4.02(b) (if applicable) or
Section 4.02(c) (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 4.02. 

(b) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 4.02(b) with respect to any Securities of or within a
series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth in subsection (d) of this Section 4.02 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities, and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed
to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 4.02 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied all of its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in subsection (d) of this Section 4.02 and as more fully set forth in such Section,
payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03 and
with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.04, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 4.02. The Company may exercise its
option under this Section 4.02(b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under subsection (c) of this Section 4.02 with respect to such Securities. 

(c) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 4.02(c) with respect to any Securities of or within a
series, the Company shall be released from, if specified pursuant to Section 3.01, its obligations under any other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in subsection (d) of this Section
4.02 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of
Default, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

(d) The following shall be the conditions to application of subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 4.02 to any Outstanding Securities of or
within a series: 
 (i) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another
trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.08 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.02 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for,
and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations applicable to
such Securities (determined on the basis of the Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without
consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of Independent Public Accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which
shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal
or interest and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. 

(ii) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this
Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 

  
 24 








 (iii) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the establishment of such trust and, with respect to legal defeasance only, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day
after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 

(iv) In the case of an election under subsection (b) of this Section 4.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing stating that (A) the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a letter ruling, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service a Revenue Ruling, or (B) since the date of the
applicable prospectus supplement, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of such Outstanding Securities will
not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such legal defeasance had not occurred. 
 (v) In the case of an election under subsection (c) of this Section 4.02, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the beneficial owners of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result
of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred. 

(vi) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of
the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all relevant Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act). 
 (vii) Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and rules and regulations adopted by the Commission
thereunder, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 
 (viii) The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that (x) the trust funds deposited pursuant to this Section will not be subject to any rights of holders of Company Senior Indebtedness, including those
arising under Article 14, and (y) after the second anniversary following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, except that if a court were to rule under any such law in any case or proceeding that the trust funds remained property of the Company, no opinion is given as to the effect of such laws on the trust funds except the following: (A)
assuming such trust funds remained in the possession of the trustee with whom such funds were deposited prior to such court ruling to the extent not paid to Holders of such Securities, such trustee would hold, for the benefit of such Holders, a
valid and perfected security interest in such trust funds that is not avoidable in bankruptcy or otherwise, (B) such Holders would be entitled to receive adequate protection of their interests in such trust funds if such trust funds were used and
(C) no property, rights in property or other interests granted to such trustee for the Trustee or such Holders in exchange for or with respect to any such funds would be subject to any prior rights of holders of Company Senior Indebtedness,
including those arising under Article 14. 
 (ix) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 4.02 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 

(x) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.02(d), such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in
compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01. 

(e) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (or other property as may be
provided pursuant to Section 3.01) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 4.02(e), the “Trustee”) pursuant to subsection (d) of Section
4.02 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if
any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 25 








 (f) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 3.01, if, after a
deposit referred to in Section 4.02(d)(i) has been made, (i) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.01 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a Currency
other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 4.02(d)(i) has been made in respect of such Security, or (ii) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 4.02(d)(i) has been made,
the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Security
as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security
becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for such Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such
Foreign Currency in effect at the time of the Conversion Event. 
 (g) Anything in this Section 4.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 4.02 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance
or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4.02. 
 Section 4.03. Application of Trust Money and Repayment to
Company. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, interest and Additional
Amounts for whose payment such money has or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee; but such money and U.S. Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.02 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 

The Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly shall pay to the Company upon Company Request any excess money and/or U.S. Government Obligations
held by them at any time with respect to any series of Securities. 
 Section 4.04. Prescription. All claims made against the Company
for payment of principal of, any premium or interest or Additional Amounts on, or in respect of, the Securities shall become void unless made within the earlier of (i) six years or (ii) any applicable shorter period provided for under New York
law, starting from the later of the date on which such payment first became due and the date on which the full amount was received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent. 

Section 4.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with this Article 4 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 4 until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with this Article 4; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

voluntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless, with respect to a particular series of Securities, such
event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution creating such series of Securities or in the Officer’s Certificate for such series, and except as set forth in the last paragraph of this

(b) any other Event of Default that may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, any Resolution or Early Intervention with respect to the Company shall not, in and of
itself and without regard to any other fact or circumstance, constitute a default or an Event of Default under paragraph 5.01(a) above or any other provision of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series. In addition, neither (i) a
reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due on the Securities of any series or the conversion thereof into another security or obligation of the Company or another Person, in each case as a result of the exercise of the Spanish

Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority if, and to the extent that, such amounts have been reduced, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise. 

Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee, acting pursuant to an Act of the Holders of the Securities of the relevant series, with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series, or the Holder of any Outstanding
Security of the relevant series, with respect to such Security held by such Holder, may declare the principal, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of such Securities or Security, as the case may be, to be
due and payable immediately by giving written notice to the Company, and upon receipt of any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become immediately due and payable. 

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities or Security, as the case may be, of any series has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, may

 Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. (a) The
Company covenants that if: 
 (i) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts
with respect to any Security when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 21 days, or 

(ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security at its Maturity and such default is not
remedied, in the case of a default in the payment of the principal, within 14 days and, in the case of a default in the payment of any premium, within 30 days, 

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount of money then due and
payable with respect to such Securities, with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the
rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07.

Securities, and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement
of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of
whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal,
premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such
series, of the principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including

compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such

provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the ratable benefit of each and every Holder of a Security in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered. 
 Section 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation

 FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto. 
 Section 5.07. Limitations on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series; 
 (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder with respect to such series of Securities and such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (iii) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 

(iv) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

premium and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on or after the date such repayment is due) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall
not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder, except that Holders of not less than 75% in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of a series may consent by Act, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such
series, to the postponement of the Stated Maturity of any installment of interest for a period not exceeding three years from the original Stated Maturity of such installment (which original Stated Maturity shall have been fixed, for the avoidance
of doubt, prior to any previous postponements of such installment). 
 The Securities of any series may be subject to the exercise of the
Spanish Bail-in Power, and no Holder of any Security shall have any claim against the Company in connection with or arising out of any such exercise. No repayment or payment of Amounts Due on 

  
 29 








 
the Securities of any series will become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority if, and to the extent that, such
amounts have been reduced, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise. 
 Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights
and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

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

Section 5.12. Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series, by Act, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series, provided that: 
 (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or
with the Securities of any series, 
 (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction, and 
 (iii) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of
Securities of such series not joining in such action. 
 Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. (a) Subject to Section 5.02(b)(i)(D),
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series may, by Act, waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except a default: 
 (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium, or interest on, or any Additional
Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series, or 
 (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 (b) Upon
any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs
against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make
such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(i) the performance of the Company of any of its covenants set forth in this Indenture and (ii) the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation,
it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 

(g) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the occurrence of any default or an Event of Default, and such knowledge shall not be
imparted to the Trustee, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such default or Event of Default from the Company or any Holder of an Outstanding Security of the relevant series and such notice references the
specific default or Event of Default under the Securities of such series and this Indenture, and is given in the manner required by Section 1.05 hereof; 

(h) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

  
 31 








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

Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, including, without limitation, the indemnification of the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07(a)(iii), are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, transfer agent, Paying Agent

to the Company for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss (being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) even if advised of the possibility of such loss or damage;

of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to
resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances; and 
 (q) following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee
shall be entitled to require all agents (including the Paying Agent) to act pursuant to its instruction. 
 Section 6.03. Notice of
Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder known to the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series entitled to receive reports

if any, on, or Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest of the Holders of Securities of such series. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event

that may be an agent of the Trustee or the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with

Section 6.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. (a) The Company agrees: 

(i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee hereunder as

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith; and 
 (iii) to indemnify the Trustee (which
for the purposes of this Section 6.07(a)(iii) shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Trustee) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance
of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

(c) Any compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default specified by Section 5.01 is intended to constitute an expense of
administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 6.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any
other Trustee under this Section 6.07. The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture including any termination under any bankruptcy law
and (without prejudice to Section 15.02 of this Indenture if, and to the extent applicable, as set out therein) any exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the Securities of any series. 

(d) In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended, to the extent
permitted under applicable law, to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law. 
 (e) For the avoidance of doubt, any
and all amounts due and owing to the Trustee under this Section 6.07 shall be payable within 6 (six) days of the date on which the Trustee can demand payment hereunder for purposes of this Indenture and for purposes of Article 42(1)(e) and

the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 Section 6.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10. 

  
 33 








 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 
 (c) The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series. 

(d) If at any time: 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with
respect to Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, or 

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Company or any such Holder, or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then, in any such case, (A) the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such
series, or (B) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to such series of Securities. 

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.10. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.10, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the
Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.10, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by instructing such successor Trustee to mail written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities, if any, of such series as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Section 6.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  

(a) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties hereunder of the retiring Trustee but, on the request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges, shall execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject to Section 10.03, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held
by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.07. 

  
 34 








 (b) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one
or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of
this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any
notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, and, upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective
to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee, upon payment of its charges with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor relates and subject to Section 10.03 shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the
extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, subject to its
claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.07. 
 (c) Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d) No Person shall accept its appointment hereunder as a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of a series unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 6.11. Merger, Conversion,
Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall
be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto other than the provision of written notice to the Company. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered by
the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 6.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. If and when the Trustee shall be
or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 

Section 6.13. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the
Company with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption
or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Securities shall be issued and authenticated in New York. 

  
 35

act as an Authenticating Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 (c) Any
Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any
Corporation succeeding to the corporate agency, corporate trust or business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 (d) An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent
and the Company. 
 Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
to all Holders of Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section. 
 (e) The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section. 
 (f) The provisions of Sections 3.08, 6.04 and 6.05 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 

This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

 

			
	The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee
		
	By:	 	  

		 	As Authenticating Agent
		
	By:	 	  

		 	Authorized Signatory


 If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does
not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested in writing
(which writing need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officer’s Certificate by the Company), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with
respect to such series of Securities. 
 Section 6.14. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this
Indenture. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series.

 Section 6.15 Tax Compliance. In order to enable the Trustee and the Paying Agent to
comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time, including, without limitation FATCA (as defined herein) (“Applicable Tax Law”)
that the Company, Trustee or Paying Agent is subject to, the Company agrees (i) to cooperate in good faith with the Trustee and the Paying Agent by providing information, to the extent within the Company’s possession, and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, about the parties and/or Securities (including any modification to the terms of such Securities) that is reasonably necessary for such entity to determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Tax Law
and (ii) that the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Tax Law. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent
shall have any obligation to gross up any payment hereunder or pay any additional amount or otherwise indemnify a Holder as a result of such withholding tax. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the
resignation or removal of the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

 ARTICLE 8 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALES; ASSUMPTION 

Section 8.01. Company May Consolidate, etc. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any
consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or Persons (whether or not affiliated with the Company), or successive consolidations, amalgamations or mergers in which the Company or the successor or successors of
the Company shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance or lease of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company); provided
that the Person formed by or into which the Company is consolidated, amalgamated or merged shall assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Securities in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed. 

Section 8.02. Successor Person Substituted. In the event of any merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance or lease permitted by Section
8.01 above or any assumption of obligations permitted by Section 8.03, Additional Amounts under the Securities will thereafter be payable in respect of taxes imposed by the acquiring Person’s, or the resulting Person’s, or the successor
Person’s, jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence (subject to exceptions equivalent to those that apply to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.04 in respect of taxes imposed by the laws of the Kingdom of
Spain) rather than taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Spain. Additional Amounts with respect to payments of interest or principal due prior to the date of such merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance or lease will be payable only in respect of taxes
imposed by the Kingdom of Spain. The acquiring, resulting or successor Person, as the case may be, will also be entitled to redeem the Securities in the circumstances described in Section 11.08(a) with respect to any change or amendment to, or
change in the application or official interpretation of the laws or regulations of such Person’s jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence, which change or amendment must occur subsequent to the date of any merger, consolidation, sale,
conveyance or lease permitted by Section 8.01 or the assumption of obligations permitted by Section 8.03, as the case may be, if the successor entity is not incorporated or tax resident in the Kingdom of Spain. In the event of assumption of the
Company’s obligations in connection with a merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance or lease of substantially all of its assets, the Company shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture or the Securities, as the case
may be. 
 Section 8.03. Assumption of Obligations. With respect to the Securities of any series, unless otherwise specified in
accordance with Section 3.01, any holding company of the Company or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (a “successor entity”) may without the consent of any Holder assume the obligations of the Company (or any Person which
shall have previously assumed the obligations of the Company) for the due and punctual payment of the principal, interest, Additional Amounts, premium (if any) and sinking fund payments (if any) on any series of Securities in accordance with the
provisions of such Securities and this Indenture and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture and such series of Securities on the part of the Company to be performed or observed, provided that: 

(a) the successor entity shall expressly assume such obligations by an amendment to this Indenture, executed by the Company and such successor
entity, if applicable, and delivered to the Trustee, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such
assumption of obligations, no Event of Default and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  
 38 








 (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that such assumption complies with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such assumption have been complied with; and 

(d) immediately prior to such assumption, the successor entity shall have ratings for long-term subordinated debt assigned by Standard &
Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or their respective successors) which are the same as, or higher than, the credit rating for long-term subordinated debt of the Company (or, if applicable, the previous successor
entity) assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or their respective successors). 

Upon any such assumption, the successor entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the
Company under this Indenture with respect to any such Securities with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company in this Indenture, and the Company or any legal and valid successor Person which shall theretofore have
become such in the manner prescribed herein, shall be released from all liability as obligor upon any such Securities except as provided in clause (a) of this Section 8.03. 

ARTICLE 9

authentication and delivery of Securities, as herein set forth; or

 (h) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of
all or any series of Securities; or 
 (i) to secure the Securities; or

supplement shall materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any Securities then Outstanding; or 
 (k) to delete, amend or
supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture as a result of, and to the extent required by, the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.

 Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. (a) With the consent, as
evidenced in an Act or Acts, as the case may be, of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each such series affected by such supplemental indenture voting as a class, the Company and the Trustee
may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series under this Indenture and of waiving future compliance with respect to the Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
thereby, shall 
 (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any premium or installment of interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (except that Holders of not less than 75% in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of a series may consent by Act, on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, to the postponement of the Stated Maturity of any installment of interest for a period not exceeding three years from the original Stated Maturity of such installment (which
original Stated Maturity shall have been fixed, for the avoidance of doubt, prior to any previous postponements of such installment)) or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or otherwise, or
change the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.04 (except as contemplated by Section 3.07 and permitted by Section 9.01(a)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that
would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.04, or change the redemption provisions, or change the Place of Payment,
Currency in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to any Security on or
after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the date for repayment), or 

(ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is
required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture,
or reduce the requirements for a quorum or voting, or 
 (iii) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture relating to the
subordination of the Securities in a manner adverse to Holders of Securities, or 
 (iv) modify any of the provisions of this
Section or Section 5.13, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, or 

(v) change in any manner adverse to the interests of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series the terms and
conditions of the obligations of the Company in respect of the due and punctual payment of the principal thereof (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, thereon or any sinking fund payments, if any, provided for in respect thereof, 

except in each case with respect to any modification or amendment of the Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture which is entered into as a result of,
and to the extent required by, the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (in which case neither the consent nor the affirmative vote of any Holder of an Outstanding Security affected shall be required).

 (b) A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which shall have been included
expressly and solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights
under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 (c) It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders of Securities
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. As a condition to executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 1.02, and (subject to Section 315 of the
Trust Indenture Act) 

  
 40 








 
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate, each stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and such Securities
may be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Securities of such series. 
 Section 9.06. Effect on
Company Senior Indebtedness. No supplemental indenture shall directly or indirectly modify, terminate or impair the subordination of the Securities as provided herein to Company Senior Indebtedness without the prior written consent of each of

ARTICLE 10 

COVENANTS 
 Section
10.01. Payment of Principal and Any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium
and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities of such series in accordance with, and except as provided in, the terms thereof and this Indenture. 

Section 10.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an
Office or Agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of such series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served. 
 The Company may also from time to time
designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of their obligation to maintain an Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other Office or Agency. The Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each series the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially
appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, NY 10286, United States for such purpose. Pursuant to Section 3.01(h), the Company may subsequently appoint a place or places in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York where such Securities may be payable. The Company initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as Paying Agent and transfer agent and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its Corporate Trust
Office, as the Security Registrar. 
 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, if and so long as
the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such
series of Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent. 
 Section 10.03. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in
Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to,
any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons 

  
 41 








 
entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall: 

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with
respect to, Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture; 

(ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the
making of any payment of principal, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series; and 

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as
those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums. 

Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company,
in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such payment of principal or any such premium or
interest or any such Additional Amounts has been made shall be repaid to the Company, on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance
of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 10.04. Additional Amounts. The provisions of this Section
10.04 shall be applicable to the Securities of each series except as specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution creating such series of Securities or in the Officer’s Certificate for such
series of Securities. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company hereby further agrees that any amounts to be paid by the Company with respect to each Security shall be paid without deduction or withholding for or on account of any and all
present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event any such withholding or deduction is imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain or
any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, the Company will pay to the Holder such Additional Amounts in respect of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any, as may be
necessary in order that the net amount received by the Holder of such Security under this Indenture, after such deduction or withholding, shall equal the respective amounts of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and sinking fund payments,
if any, as specified in the Security to which such Holder or the Trustee would be entitled if no such deduction or withholding had been made; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply: 

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

  
 42 








 (b) in the case of a Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30
days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a business day in such place
of presentment; 
 (c) in respect of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure
by the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of that Security, if compliance is
required by statute or by regulation of Spain or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to reduction of or relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 

(d) in respect of any Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) by or on behalf of a Holder who would be able to avoid
such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Security to another Paying Agent; or 
 (e) in the event that the Securities are
redeemed pursuant to Section 11.08(b) hereof. 
 Additional Amounts will also not be paid with respect to any payment on any Security to any
Holder who is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (or any political subdivision thereof)
to be included in the income, for Spanish tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, member of such partnership, interest holder in that limited liability company or beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to
such Additional Amounts had it been a Holder of such Security. 
 No Additional Amounts will be paid by the Company or any paying agent on
account of any deduction or withholding from a payment on, or in respect of, the Securities where such deduction or withholding is imposed pursuant to any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and Spain or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other
official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement. 
 For the purposes of
(b) above, the “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which any payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the Paying Agent on or prior to such
due date, it means the first date on which the full amount of such moneys having been so received and being available for payment to Holders, notice to that effect shall have been duly given to the Holders in accordance with this Indenture. 

Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect
of, any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts
are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions
hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 Section 10.05. Statement by Officers as to Default. For so long as any Securities
of any series are Outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of its fiscal years ending after the date hereof, a brief certificate, complying with Section 314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, from the principal
executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company, stating 

  
 43 








 
whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer or signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this
Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder). 
 Section
10.06. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
obligate the Company to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect
to any Holder. 
 Section 10.07. Waiver of Certain Covenants. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for
Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 9.01(b) or Section
9.01(c) for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series or any term, provision or condition set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term,
provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full
force and effect. 
 ARTICLE 11 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 11.01. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required
by the terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article. 

Section 11.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution or approved by a person authorized to make such election pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of (a) less than all of the Securities of any series or (b) all of the Securities of
any series, with the same interest rate, Stated Maturity and other terms, the Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date and of the principal amount (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Security, the original issue amount) of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any
restrictions on redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

Section 11.03. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Securities of any series with the same
interest rate, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by lot and may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount (or in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the original issue amount) of Securities of such series;
provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount (or in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the original issue amount) of a Security of such series not redeemed to less than the
minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

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

Section 11.04. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06, not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. 

  
 44 








 Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Securities in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. 
 All notices of redemption shall state:

 (i) the Redemption Date, 

(ii) the Redemption Price, 

(iii) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial
redemption, the principal amount (or in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the original issue amount)) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed, 

(iv) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and
after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 

(v) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof
to be redeemed, and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 
 (vi) the place or
places where such Securities maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts pertaining thereto, 

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

(viii) the CUSIP number or the Euroclear Bank. S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme,
reference number of such Securities, if any (or any other numbers used by a Depository to identify such Securities). 
 Except as otherwise
provided herein, notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.06 need not identify particular Securities to be redeemed. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s
request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 If the Company or the Holders have elected to redeem the
Securities of any series but prior to the deposit, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent as the case may be, of the Redemption Price with respect to such redemption the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority exercises its Spanish Bail-in Power with
respect to such series of Securities, the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the Redemption Price (and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts payable under this
Article 11) will be due and payable. 
 Section 11.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date
shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 11.06. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be
redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities
shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued
interest and Additional Amounts to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 

  
 45 








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

Section 11.07. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any Office or
Agency for such Security (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depository or other Depository for such Global Security as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a new Global Security
in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. 
 Section
11.08. Redemption for Taxation or Listing Reasons. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, all (but not less than all) of the Securities of any series may be redeemed in accordance with the terms of this Article 11 at
the option of the Company, subject to the prior approval of the relevant authority (which under current Spanish bank regulations may not be sought prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance of such series of Securities) if, as the result of any
change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain (including any treaty to which Spain is a party) or any political subdivision or any authority or agency thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the
application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change, amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after the date of the applicable prospectus supplement relating to such series, either (i) the Company
would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in making any payments under the Securities with respect thereto as a result of any taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges imposed (whether by way of withholding or deduction or
otherwise) by or for the account of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, or (ii) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in computing tax liabilities in Spain in
respect of any interest to be paid on the next Interest Payment Date on such series of Securities or the value of such deduction to the Company would be materially reduced; provided that, in the case of (i) above, no such notice to the
Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to deduct or withhold tax or pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due. 

Prior to any notice of redemption of such Securities pursuant to Section 11.04, the Company shall provide the Trustee with (i) an
Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem
such Securities pursuant to this Section have been satisfied; (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph prevail; and (iii) where applicable, a copy of the communication received
from the relevant authority in relation to the consent to such redemption or an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company has obtained such consent. 

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, if the Securities of a series are not listed on an organized market in an OECD
country by the date that is 45 days prior to the applicable first Interest Payment Date on the Securities of such series, the Company 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 first Interest Payment Date) to the Holders of Securities of such series of Securities in accordance with Section 11.04 (which notice will be irrevocable), redeem all of the outstanding Securities of such
series at the Redemption Price; provided that from and including the issue date of such Securities to and including such Interest Payment Date, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to obtain or maintain such listing, as applicable. 

ARTICLE 12 

SINKING FUNDS 

Section 12.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture. Any sinking fund issuances must be made in accordance with the applicable regulations as in effect from time
to time. 

  
 46 








 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities
of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 
 Section 12.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities. The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (a) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Outstanding
Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the Company) and (b) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have
been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such series
of Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the face amount specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of
such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 12.02, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in
order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and
applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the
Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company. 

Section 12.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series
of Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officer’s Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing
mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking
fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07. 
 ARTICLE 13 

SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES 

Section 13.01. Applicability of Article. Whenever this Indenture provides for (a) any action by, or the determination of any of the
rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same Currency, or (b) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to the contrary in the form of Security of any
particular series, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of
exchange and as of the record date with respect to Securities of such series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such
action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE 14 

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 

Section 14.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of
Securities by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on each and all of the Securities are hereby
expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Company Senior Indebtedness. 

  
 47 








 Section 14.02. Subordination of Securities. The obligations of the Company under the
Securities, whether on account of principal, interest or otherwise, constitute direct, unconditional and subordinated obligations of the Company. Subject to mandatory provisions of Spanish Law, in the event of insolvency (concurso) of the
Company under the Insolvency Law, the obligations of the Company on account of principal of the Securities will fall within the category of subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) and will rank
in right of payment after Company Senior Indebtedness and will at all times rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other present and future subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the
Insolvency Law) of the Company, except for certain subordinated obligations expressed, by law or by their terms, to rank senior or junior to the Securities. Accordingly, no amount shall be payable to the Holders until the claims with respect to all
Company Senior Indebtedness (other than as aforesaid) admitted in the insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law have been satisfied pursuant to the laws of the Kingdom of Spain. 

Prior to any voluntary or necessary declaration of insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or
mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure, the Company may be subject to an Early Intervention or Resolution and the Securities of any series may be subject to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power, in which case no Holder of any
Security shall have any claim against the Company in connection with or arising out of any such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power. 

Section 14.03. Payments on Securities Permitted. Except as set forth in the immediately following paragraph and in Section 14.02,
nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall (a) affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time, payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the
Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities or (b) prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest,
if any, on the Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office in London written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such payment more than three Business Days prior to the date fixed for such payment. 

Prior to any voluntary or necessary declaration of insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or
mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure, the Company may be subject to an Early Intervention or Resolution and the Securities of any series may be subject to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power, in which case the foregoing written
notice obligation shall not apply. 
 Section 14.04. Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination. Each Holder by his
acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination of the Securities as provided in this Article 14 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes, including, if required, to grant any private or public documents on such Holder’s behalf. 
 Section
14.05. Modifications of Terms of Company Senior Indebtedness. Any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Company Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders of Company Senior Indebtedness of any of their rights under any
instrument creating or evidencing Company Senior Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done all without notice to or assent from the Holders or the Trustee. 

No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of,
any liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any indenture or other instrument under which any Company Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or of such Company Senior Indebtedness, whether or
not such release is in accordance with the provisions of any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article 14 or of the Securities relating to the subordination thereof. 

  
 48 








 Section 14.06. Trustee Claims under Indenture Not Subordinated. Nothing in this Article 14
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07. 
 Section 14.07. Reliance on Judicial Order or
Certificate of Liquidating Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 14, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of Company Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 14.

 Section 14.08. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Company Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Company Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders or creditors if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property
or securities to which any holders of Company Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 14 or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Company Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of
its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 14 and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Company Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 

Section 14.09. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 14 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning
as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 14 in addition to or in place of the Trustee. 

ARTICLE 15 

EXERCISE OF SPANISH BAIL-IN POWER 

Section 15.01. Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of Spanish Bail-in Power. (a) Notwithstanding any other term of the Securities of
any series, the Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder, by its acquisition of the Securities of any series, each Holder (which, for the purposes of this Article 15, includes each holder
of a beneficial interest in the Securities) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by: (i) the exercise and effects of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, which may be imposed with or without
any prior notice with respect to the Securities of any series, and may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (1) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the Securities of any
series; (2) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the Securities of any series into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Company or another Person (and the issue to or conferral on the Holder of any such shares,
securities or obligations), including by means of an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the Securities; (3) the cancellation of the Securities of any series; (4) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Securities of any
series or amendment of the amount of interest payable on the Securities of any series, or the date on which the interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the Securities
of any series or the rights of the Holders thereunder or under the Indenture, if necessary, to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority. 

(b) By its acquisition of the Securities of any series, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither a reduction or cancellation, in part
or in full, of the Amounts Due on the Securities of any series or the conversion thereof into another security or obligation of the Company or another Person, in each case as a result of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant
Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Company, nor the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities of a series shall: (i) give rise to a default or event of default for
purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act; or (ii) be a default or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities or under this Indenture. By its
acquisition of the Securities of any series, each Holder further acknowledges and agrees that no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the Securities of any series shall become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in
Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority if, and to the extent that, such amounts have been reduced, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise. 

  
 49 








 (c) By its acquisition of the Securities of any series, each Holder, to the extent permitted by
the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee
takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities of such series. Additionally, by its acquisition of the
Securities of any series, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities of such series: (i) the Trustee shall not be required to

duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority; provided, however, that notwithstanding the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant
Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities of a series, so long as any Securities of such series remain outstanding, there shall at all times be a trustee for the Securities of such series in accordance with the Indenture, and the
resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee shall continue to be governed by this Indenture, including to the extent no additional supplemental indenture or amendment is agreed upon in the event the
Securities of such series remain outstanding following the completion of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power. 
 (d) By its
acquisition of the Securities of any series, each Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, directed and requested the relevant Depository (including, if applicable, The Depository Trust Company) and any direct participant therein or other
intermediary through which it holds such Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or
direction on the part of such Holder. 
 (e) Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority
with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company or the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as the case may be) shall provide a written notice to the Depository as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power
for purposes of notifying the Holders of such Securities. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. 

(f) If the Company or the Holders have elected to redeem the Securities of any series but prior to the deposit, with the Trustee or with a

automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the Redemption Price (and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts payable under Article 11) will be due and payable. 

(g) Each Holder that acquires Securities of any series in the secondary market or otherwise shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be
bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in this Indenture to the same extent as the Holders that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to this Article 15. 

Section 15.02. BRRD Liabilities. Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Indenture or any other agreements,
arrangements, or understandings between the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee acknowledges and accepts that a BRRD Liability arising under this Indenture may be subject to the exercise of Spanish Bail-in Powers by the Relevant Spanish Resolution
Authority, and acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be bound by:

of            (except as otherwise provided below) and issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (as modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”)
dated as of             , 20     among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (together with any successor Trustee under the Indenture, the
“Trustee”), Security Registrar, transfer agent and Paying Agent. The terms and conditions of the Indenture shall have effect as if incorporated herein. All capitalized terms used in this Security but not otherwise defined herein are
used as defined in the Indenture and shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The holders of the Securities (each a “Holder”) will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all
of the provisions of the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of the Company Senior Indebtedness
and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in London, England.

 (b) The Securities are direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Company. 

(c) The Securities will initially be sold in the form of one or more global certificates representing the notes in fully
registered form without interest coupons (each a “Global Security” and, together with any securities issued in definitive form pursuant to the Indenture (each a “Security”), the “Securities”)
deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Securities will not be issued in bearer form. The Securities, and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section
3.05 of the Indenture. Any person in whose name a Security shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, and for all purposes, by the Company and the Trustee as the absolute owner of such
Security, regardless of any notice of ownership, theft or loss or of any writing thereon. 
 2. Payments and Paying Agencies. (a) All
payments on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of             as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. 

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

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

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

(A) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose name such Security (or a Predecessor
Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
less 

  
 56 








 
than ten days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense
of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders (or holders of a Predecessor Security of their Securities) at their
addresses as they appear in the Security Register not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee shall, at the instruction of the Company, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published
at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the
close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (B). 
 (B) The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

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

3. Additional Amounts; Redemption for Taxation or Listing Reasons[; Optional Redemption] 

(a) Any amounts to be paid by the Company with respect to each Security shall be paid without deduction or withholding for or
on account of any and all present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event any such withholding or deduction is imposed or levied by or on behalf of
the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, the Company will pay to the Holder such Additional Amounts in respect of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and sinking fund
payments, if any, as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Holder of such Security under the Indenture, after such deduction or withholding, shall equal the respective amounts of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any,
and sinking fund payments, if any, as specified in the Security to which such Holder or the Trustee would be entitled if no such deduction or withholding had been made; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional
Amounts will not apply: 
 (i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such
Holder (or the beneficial owner of the Security for whose benefit such Holder holds such Security) having some connection with the Kingdom of Spain other than the mere holding of the Security (or such beneficial interest) or the mere crediting of
the Security to its securities account with the relevant Depository; 
 (ii) in the case of a Security presented for payment
(where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that
day to have been a business day in such place of presentment; 
 (iii) in respect of any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure by the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of
the Holder or beneficial owner of that Security, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of Spain or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to reduction of or relief or exemption from the
tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
 (iv) in respect of any Security presented for payment (where presentation is
required) by or on behalf of a Holder who would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Security to another Paying Agent; or 

(v) in the event that the Security is redeemed pursuant to Section 11.08(b) of the Indenture. 

  
 57 








 Additional Amounts will also not be paid with respect to any payment on any Security to any
Holder who is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (or any political subdivision thereof)
to be included in the income, for Spanish tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, member of such partnership, interest holder in that limited liability company or beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to
such Additional Amounts had it been a Holder of such Security. 
 No Additional Amounts will be paid by the Company or any paying agent on
account of any deduction or withholding from a payment on, or in respect of, the Securities where such deduction or withholding is imposed pursuant to any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and Spain or any other jurisdiction with respect to FATCA, or any law, regulation or other
official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA or any intergovernmental agreement. 
 For the purposes of
(ii) above, the “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which any payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the Paying Agent on or prior to
such due date, it means the first date on which the full amount of such moneys having been so received and being available for payment to Holders, notice to that effect shall have been duly given to the Holders in accordance with the Indenture. 

(b) All (but not less than all) of the Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of
the Indenture at the option of the Company, subject to the prior approval of the relevant authority, if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain (including any treaty to which Spain is a
party) or any political subdivision or any authority or agency thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change, amendment, application or interpretation
becomes effective on or after [the date of the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the Securities], either (i) the Company would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in making any payments under the Securities with respect thereto as
a result of any taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges imposed (whether by way of withholding or deduction or otherwise) by or for the account of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having
the power to tax, or (ii) the Company would not be entitled to claim a deduction in computing tax liabilities in Spain in respect of any interest to be paid on the next Interest Payment Date on the Securities or the value of such deduction to the
Company would be materially reduced; provided that, in the case of (i) above, no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to
deduct or withhold tax or pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due. 
 Prior to any notice of
redemption of the Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall provide the Trustee with (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable
detail a statement of circumstances showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such Securities pursuant to this paragraph have been satisfied; (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the circumstances
referred to in the preceding paragraph prevail; and (iii) where applicable, a copy of the communication received from the relevant authority in relation to the consent to such redemption or an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that
the Company has obtained such consent. 
 (c) If the Securities are not listed on an organized market in an OECD country by the date that is
45 days before the initial Interest Payment Date on such Securities, the Company may, at its election and having given no less than 15 days’ notice to the Holders, redeem all of the Outstanding 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 Securities to and including such Interest Payment Date, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to obtain or
maintain such listing, as applicable. In the event of an early redemption of the Securities for the reasons set forth in the preceding sentence, if required by the relevant Spanish law and regulation, the Company will withhold tax and will pay
interest in respect of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed net of the Spanish withholding tax applicable to such payments. 

(d) [Insert terms of optional redemption, if applicable] 

4. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Indenture contains certain covenants of the Company, including covenants as to the payment of

the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities, (b) the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holder or Holders have offered to
the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any
such proceeding, and (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities.

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

14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process. (a) This Security shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State
of New York applicable to agreements made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said state, except that the authorization, issuance and execution by the Company of the Securities and paragraphs 17(a) and 17(b) shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with Spanish law. 
 (b) In the Indenture, the Company has irrevocably submitted to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York over any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture or any Security. In addition, the Company has irrevocably waived, to
the extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such suit or proceeding brought in such courts. 

(c) As long as any of the Securities remains outstanding, the Company will at all times have an authorized agent in New York City upon which
process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture or any Security. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to the Company shall to the extent permitted by
law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such legal action or proceeding. The Company has appointed Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., New York Branch, as its agent for such purpose, and has covenanted
and agreed that service of process in any suit or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10105, U.S.A. (or at such other address or at the
office of such other authorized agent as the Company may designate in accordance with Section 1.16 of the Indenture). 
 15.
Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with
certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 16. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings appearing in these terms are for
convenience of reference only and shall not alter, limit or define the provisions hereof. 
 17. Subordination. (a) The obligations
of the Company under the Securities, whether on account of principal, interest or otherwise, constitute direct, unconditional and subordinated obligations of the Company. Subject to mandatory provisions of Spanish law, in the event of insolvency
(concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law, the obligations of the Company on account of principal of the Securities will fall within the category of subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the
Insolvency Law) and will rank in right of payment after Company Senior Indebtedness and will at all times rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other present and future subordinated credits (créditos subordinados)
(as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company, except for certain subordinated obligations expressed, by law or by their terms, to rank senior or junior to the Securities. Accordingly, no amount shall be payable to the Holders until the claims
with respect to all Company Senior Indebtedness (other than as aforesaid) admitted in the insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law have been satisfied pursuant to the laws of the Kingdom of Spain. 

  
 62 








 Prior to any voluntary or necessary declaration of insolvency (concurso) of the Company
under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure, the Company may be subject to an Early Intervention or Resolution and the Security may be subject to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power, in which
case no Holder of any Security shall have any claim against the Company in connection with or arising out of any such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power. 

(b) Each Holder of this Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination of the Securities as provided in this paragraph 17 and Article 14 of the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, if
required, to grant any private or public documents on such Holder’s behalf. 
 (c) “Company Senior
Indebtedness” means Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 
 “Insolvency Law” means the Spanish law 22/2003 of July
9, as amended, replaced or supplemented from time to time, including the order of payment of insolvency claims set forth in additional provision 14th of Law 11/2015. 

“Senior Indebtedness” means, with respect to any Person, all rights and claims, whether outstanding on the date of the
Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and all amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of indebtedness or obligations represented by such rights and claims, (i) of privileged creditors (acreedores
privilegiados), unsecured and unsubordinated creditors (acreedores comunes), those subordinated creditors referred to in art. 92.1 of the Insolvency Law and insolvency estate creditors (acreedores contra la masa) of such Person, in
each case as determined in accordance with the Insolvency Law; or (ii) if such Insolvency Law is no longer in effect, all of such rights and claims of all creditors of such Person, unless in any such case the instrument by which the indebtedness or
obligations represented by such rights and claims are created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed by such Person, or are evidenced, provides that they are subordinate, or are not superior, in right of payment to this Security. 

18. Certain Undertakings and Agreements by Holders. (a) Notwithstanding any other term of this Security, the Indenture or any other
agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder, by its acquisition of this Security, each Holder (which, for the purposes of this paragraph 18, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the Security)

payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the Securities or the rights of the Holders thereunder or under the Indenture, if necessary, to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish
Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority. 
 (b) By its acquisition of this Security, each Holder acknowledges and agrees
that neither a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due on the Securities or the conversion thereof into another security or obligation of the Company or another person, in each case as a result of the exercise of the
Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Company, nor the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall: (i) give rise to a
default or event of default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”); or (ii) be a
default or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities or under the Indenture. By its acquisition of this Security, each Holder further acknowledges and agrees that no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the Securities shall become due and
payable or be paid after the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority if, and to the extent that, such amounts have been reduced, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise. 

(c) By its acquisition of this Security, each Holder, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims, in law
and/or in equity, against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance
with the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities. Additionally, by its acquisition of this Security, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of the Spanish
Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities: (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from the Holders 

  
 63 








 
with respect to any portion of the Securities under Section 5.12 of the Indenture; and (ii) the Indenture shall not impose any duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of
the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority; provided, however, that notwithstanding the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, so long as
any Securities remain outstanding, there shall at all times be a trustee for the Securities in accordance with the Indenture, and the resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee shall continue to be governed
by the Indenture, including to the extent no additional supplemental indenture or amendment is agreed upon in the event the Securities remain outstanding following the completion of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power. 

(d) By its acquisition of this Security, each Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant
in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Security to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the Security as it may be imposed, without any further action
or direction on the part of such Holder. 
 (e) Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority
with respect to the Securities, the Company or the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as the case may be) shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power for purposes of notifying
the Holders of such Securities. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes.

Company has elected to redeem the Securities but prior to the deposit, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent as the case may be, of the Redemption Price with respect to such redemption the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority exercises its
Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the Securities, the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the Redemption Price (and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts
payable under Article 11 of the Indenture) will be due and payable. 
 (g) Each Holder that acquires this Security in the secondary market
or otherwise shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified herein and in the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including,
without limitation, with respect to this paragraph.
