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, in addition to any notice required to be made under the applicable Regulations, shall constitute a
sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

provision hereof or of the Regulations of the Syndicate of Holders of Securities of a given series 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 and the relevant Regulations as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 Nothing
in the Regulations of the Syndicate of Holders of Securities of any series or duties of the Commissioner of such Syndicate will limit or restrict the ability of the Trustee to perform its duties as Trustee under the Indenture and, in the event of
conflict, this Indenture and the obligations of the Trustee hereunder will control and prevail.

Securities or any transaction related hereto or thereto to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

Section 1.14. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security, or

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

designation and appointment of said Authorized Agent in full force and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be Outstanding. The Trustee shall not be obligated and shall have no responsibility with respect to any failure by the Company to
take any such action. The Company hereby submits (for the purpose of any such suit or proceeding) to the jurisdiction of any such court in which any such suit or proceeding is so instituted, and waives, to the extent it may effectively do so, any

 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

 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. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 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; 

  
 18 









 (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. 
 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 3.10, 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. Execution of Spanish Deed of Issuance and
Form of Regulations. The Trustee, who shall serve as Commissioner of the Syndicate for each series of Securities issued hereunder, shall sign the Spanish deed of issuance (escritura de emisión) related to each such series of
Securities. Each such Spanish deed of issuance (escritura de emisión) shall be filed with the Mercantile Registry of Vizcaya and shall include the Regulations in respect of such Syndicate. The form of Regulations for the Syndicate of
Holders of Securities of each series is set forth in Annex A hereto. 
 Section 3.05. 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. 

  
 19 









 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 3.06. 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 Trustee is hereby initially appointed as Security Registrar for each series of Securities. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar with
respect to a series of Securities, it 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. 
 (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 

  
 20 









 
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 3.05, 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.

 Section 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered
to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.07, 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 3.07, 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. 

  
 21 









 (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 3.08. 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 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. 

  
 22 









 (c) Unless otherwise 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 3.06, 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 3.09. 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 3.08) 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.

 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

provided in Section 3.07 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 

  
 23 









 (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 taking of a Regulatory Bail-in Action with respect to a series of Securities which results in the cancellation, or the conversion into other securities, of all the principal
amount of, and interest on such Securities or such Securities otherwise ceasing to be outstanding, the Indenture shall be satisfied and discharged as to such series. 
 (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 3.06, 3.07, 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 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 any 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 3.06, 3.07, 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. 

  
 24 









 (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. 

(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 execution of this Indenture, 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. 

  
 25 









 (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. 
 (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 

  
 26 









 
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. 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. 
 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Order of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as
provided in Section 3.02 with respect to any Securities 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 the defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 
 Section 4.04. Prescription. All claims made against the Company for payment of principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts) on, or in respect of, the Securities shall become void
unless made within ten years (in the case of principal) and five years (in the case of interest (including Additional Amounts)) from the later of (a) the date on which such payment first became due and (b) if the full amount payable has
not been received by the applicable Trustee in New York City on or prior to such due date, the date on which the full amount is so received. 
 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 or interest 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.

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

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 5.01, any Resolution with respect to the Company, shall not, in and
of itself and without regard to any other fact or circumstance, constitute an Event of Default under paragraph 5.01(a) above with respect to the Securities of any series.

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 by Act, rescind and annul such declaration and its

any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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. 

  
 28 









 (b) If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, acting upon an Act of the Holders of Securities of such series or in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection
of the money so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such 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. 
 (c)
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to 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

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,

the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. 
 (b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of 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 proceeding.

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 Company may become the subject of a
Restructuring or Resolution and the Securities of any series may be subjected to a Regulatory Bail-in Action, in which case no Holder of any Security shall have any claim against the Company in connection with or arising out of any such Regulatory
Bail-in Action. 
 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. 
 Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.07, 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. 

  
 30 









 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. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company expressly waives (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenant that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no
such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.15. 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.

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 which is, or after notice or lapse of time

 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

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 any execution of a Regulatory Bail-in Action 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. 

Section 6.08. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Corporation,
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state or territory or of the District of Columbia (or a corporation or other person permitted to act as Trustee by the Commission), eligible under Sections 310(a)(1),
310(a)(5) and 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that 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 subject to supervision or examination by U.S. federal or state authority. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in 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.

 (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 

  
 34 









 (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. In the case of any such removal, the Trustee will thereupon cease to serve as the Commissioner of the Syndicate established 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. Upon any such appointment, such successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series shall thereby become Commissioner of the Syndicate of Holders of that or those series
of Securities pursuant to the Regulations of such Syndicate. 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 and Commissioner with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company and the related successor Commissioner. 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. Upon any such appointment, such successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series shall thereby become Commissioner of the Syndicate of Holders of Securities of such series pursuant to the Regulations of such Syndicate.

 (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. 

(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 

  
 35 









 
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 and agree to thereby become Commissioner of the Syndicate of Holders of Securities of such series. 

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 3.07, 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. 

(b) Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all
times be a corporation that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is authorized under applicable law and by its charter to 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. 

  
 36 









 (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.

Agent is appointed with respect to one or more series of Securities pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such 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.

 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.

 ARTICLE 8 
 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALES 
 Section 8.01. Company May Consolidate, etc. Subject to Section 5.01, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into any other Person or Persons (whether or not affiliated with the Company), or successive consolidations 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 or conveyance 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). 
 Section 8.02. Successor Person Substituted. In the event of any merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance permitted by Section 8.01 and Section 5.01 above, Additional Amounts under the
Securities will thereafter be payable in respect of taxes imposed by the acquiring corporation’s, or the resulting corporation’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 or resulting corporation, 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 jurisdiction, which change or
amendment must occur subsequent to the date of any merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance or lease permitted by Section 8.01 and Section 5.01 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 or conveyance 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. 
 ARTICLE 9

Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Securities; or

Security of such series or any other Security in any material respect; 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; 

  
 39

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 3.08 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, a Regulatory Bail-in Action (in which case the consent or the affirmative vote of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected shall not 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. 

  
 40 









 (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) 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.

 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 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. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, 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 Office or Agency of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee 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. 
 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. 

  
 41 









 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 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. 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 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 (the “Taxing Jurisdiction”) 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 

  
 42 









 
principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any, as may be necessary in order that the net amount paid to the Holder of such Security or to the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as the case may be, under 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; 
 (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) where such withholding or deduction is imposed pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive
implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or law; 

(e) 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 
 (f) in the event that the
Securities are redeemed pursuant to Section 11.08(b) of the Indenture. 
 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. 
 For the
avoidance of doubt, 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. 

  
 43 









 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 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 or 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 

  
 44 









 
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. 
 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 and Cedel
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. 
 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

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 3.08. 

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 Bank of Spain (which under current Spanish bank regulations may not be sought prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the 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 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, it is determined by the Company that in making any payment under the
Securities, the Company would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect thereto as a result of any taxes, levies, imposts or other governmental charges imposed (whether by way of withholding or deduction or otherwise) by or for the
account of the Kingdom of Spain and which obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking measures available to it without unreasonable cost or expense; provided that no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 60
days prior to the earliest date on which the Company 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 the Company, has or will become obliged to make such withholding or deduction or to pay such Additional Amounts as a
result of such change or amendment; and (iii) a copy of the Bank of Spain’s consent to such redemption. 
 (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 regulations of the Bank of Spain as in effect from time to time. 

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


  
 46 









 
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. 

Section 14.02. Subordination of Securities. (a) The obligations of the Company under the Securities, whether on account
of principal, interest or otherwise, constitute direct, unconditional and subordinated obligations of the Company. If and to the extent that there is a deficiency in any payment in respect of the Securities, the claims of the Holders in respect of
such deficiency will, in the event of insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure, fall within the category of subordinated credits (créditos
subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) and will rank in right of payment after Company Senior Indebtedness and will at all times rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other present and future
subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company, except for certain subordinated obligations prescribed by law and subordinated obligations which are expressed to rank junior to the
Securities. Accordingly, no amount shall be payable by the Company to the Holders in respect of such deficiency until the claims with respect to all Company Senior Indebtedness (other than as aforesaid) admitted in the insolvency (concurso)
of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure have been satisfied pursuant to the laws of 

  
 47 









 
the Kingdom of Spain and any amounts in respect of such deficiency thereafter paid to the Trustee will be pari passu with the amounts payable with respect to subordinated credits
(créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company in the insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure and shall be
held by the Trustee in trust to apply the same: 
 (i) first, in payment or satisfaction of the costs, charges,
expenses and liabilities incurred by the Trustee in or about the execution of the trusts of these presents and any unpaid remuneration of the Trustee; 
 (ii) second, in payment or satisfaction of claims related to Company Senior Indebtedness that have been belatedly or inaccurately communicated to the insolvency administrator or which, by administrative
order or decision, are deemed to be included in those claims that have been belatedly or inaccurately communicated to the insolvency administrator; 
 (iii) third, in payment or satisfaction of contractually subordinated payments of principal on subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company
(including any payments in respect of principal of the Securities) and any other payments in respect of subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company other than payments set forth in
subparagraph (iv) below; 
 (iv) fourth, in payment or satisfaction of payments of interest, including
Additional Amounts, if any, and interest, if any, on such interest due on subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company (including any payments in respect of interest and Additional
Amounts, if any, on the Securities) (excluding interest on secured indebtedness to the extent secured); 
 (v)
fifth, in payment or satisfaction of fines or any other monetary penalties or sanctions; 
 (vi) sixth, in
payment or satisfaction of claims of creditors which are related to the Company as set forth in article 93 of the Insolvency Law; 
 (vii) seventh, in payment or satisfaction of indebtedness arising from transactions set aside by the Spanish court overseeing the insolvency proceeding (rescisión concursal) and in respect
of which such court has determined that the relevant creditor has acted in bad faith; and 
 (viii) eighth, in
payment of claims arising from contracts with reciprocal obligations as referred to in articles 61, 62, 68 and 69 of the Insolvency Law, wherever the court rules, prior to the administrators’ report of insolvency (administración
concursal) that the creditor repeatedly impedes the fulfillment of the contract against the interest of the insolvency. 

Prior to any insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or
similar procedure, the Company may become the subject of a Restructuring or Resolution and the Securities of any series may be subjected to a Regulatory Bail-in Action, in which case no Holder of any Security shall have any claim against the Company
in connection with or arising out of any such Regulatory Bail-in Action. 
 (b) The trust mentioned in paragraph (a) of
this Section 14.02, may be performed by the Trustee paying over to any insolvency trustee or liquidator for the time being of the Company the amounts received by the Trustee as aforesaid (less any amounts thereof set forth in subparagraph
(i) of paragraph (a) of this Section 14.02) on terms that such insolvency trustee or liquidator shall distribute the same in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 14.02 and the receipt of such insolvency trustee or
liquidator shall be satisfactory to the Trustee for the performance by it of the trust mentioned in paragraph (a) of this Section 14.02. 
 (c) The provisions of this Section 14.02 apply only to any deficiency referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 14.02, and nothing in this Section 14.02 shall affect or prejudice
the payment of the costs, charges, expenses or liabilities or remuneration of the Trustee or any other amounts payable by the Company under paragraph (a) of this Section 14.02 or the rights and remedies of the Trustee in respect thereof.

 (d) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 14, the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.02, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the insolvency trustee or liquidator or other person making any distribution to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, including the creditors referred to in paragraph (a) above, 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. The Trustee,
however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the creditors referred to in paragraph (a). The Trustee shall not be liable to any such creditor if it shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company
moneys or assets to which creditors referred to in paragraph (a) shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 14. 

  
 48 









 (e) The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, or the
conveyance, transfer or lease by the Company of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 8, or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following any such
conveyance or transfer, shall not be deemed an event of insolvency (concurso) (under the Insolvency Law) or voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure for the purposes of paragraph (a) of this Section 14.02 if
the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease of such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions set forth in Article 8. 

Section 14.03. Payments on Securities Permitted. Except as set forth in the immediately following paragraph, 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 except as provided in Section 14.02, 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 written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such payment more than three Business Days prior to
the date fixed for such payment. 
 The Company may become the subject of a Restructuring or Resolution and the Securities of
any series may be subjected to a Regulatory Bail-in Action, in which case the foregoing written notice obligation shall not apply. 
 Section 14.04. Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of Securities 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. 

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 of the Securities 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. 

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 of the Securities 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

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

 EXHIBIT B 
 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY AND GLOBAL SECURITY] 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
SECURITIES 
 1. General. (a) This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of debt securities of the
Company, designated as its         % Subordinated Securities Due                     , (the
“Securities”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of                      (except as otherwise provided below) and issued or
to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (as supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) dated as of             , 20     between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (together with any successor Trustee under the Indenture, the “Trustee”). The terms and conditions of the Indenture shall have effect as if incorporated herein. The holders of the Securities (each
a “Holder”) will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of 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 New York City. 

(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 3.06 of the Indenture. Any person in whose name a Security shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, and for all purposes, by the Company 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 Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City in immediately available funds by [denomination] check drawn on, or by transfer to a [denomination] account maintained
by the registered Holder with, a bank located in 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 (as defined below), notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such interest
payment date. 
 Any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities which shall be payable, but shall not
be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue
of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (A) or (B) below: 

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

  
 59 









 
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  

(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 withholding or deduction is imposed or levied by or on behalf of
the Kingdom of Spain (the “Taxing Jurisdiction”) 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 paid to the Holder of such Security or to the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, under the Indenture, after such deduction or
withholding, shall equal the respective amounts of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and sinking fund payments, if any, as specified in the Security to which such Holder or the Trustee would be entitled if no such deduction or
withholding had been made; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply: 
 (i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner of the Security for whose benefit such Holder holds such Security) having
some connection with the Kingdom of Spain other than the mere holding of the Security (or 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) where such withholding or deduction is imposed pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any
other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26-27, 2000 on the taxation of savings or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or law; 

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

  
 60 









 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. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, 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 in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Indenture at the option of the Company, subject to the prior approval of the Bank of Spain, if, as the result of any change in or any amendment to the laws or regulations of the Kingdom
of Spain (including any treaty to which Spain is a party) or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change,
amendment, application or interpretation becomes effective on or after the issue date of the Securities, it is determined by the Company that in making any payment under the Securities, the Company would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts
with respect thereto as a result of any Taxes imposed (whether by way of withholding or deduction or otherwise) by or for the account of the Kingdom of Spain and which obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking measures available to it
without unreasonable cost or expense; provided that no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company 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 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 the Company has or will become obliged to make such withholding or
deduction or to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment; and (iii) a copy of the Bank of Spain’s consent to such redemption. 
 (c) If the Securities are not listed on an organized market in an Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development country no later than 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, the Company will be required to 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. 
 4. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Indenture contains certain
covenants of the Company, including covenants as to the payment of principal of and interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Securities, the maintenance of offices for payments and the appointment to fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee.

 5. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this
Security (whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or be effected by operation of law pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body) except as set forth in the last paragraph of this paragraph 5:

for long-term senior debt of the Company immediately prior to such reconstruction or merger or amalgamation); or 

(b) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution under which the Securities are
issued or in the Officer’s Certificate for such Securities. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph 5, any
Resolution with respect to the Company shall not, in and of itself and without regard to any other fact or circumstance, constitute an Event of Default under paragraph 5(a) above with respect to the Securities of any series.

as may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

such Syndicate duly called and held in accordance with the Regulations, which resolution as so adopted is referred to as the “Act” of the Holders. 
 Nothing in the Regulations or duties of the Commissioner will limit or restrict the ability of the Trustee to perform its duties as Trustee under the Indenture, and in the event of conflict, the Indenture
and the obligations of the Trustee will control and prevail.

apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, upon the request of the registered Holder thereof and subject to Section 3.07 of the Indenture, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security containing identical
terms and of like principal and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security. In every
case, the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them and any agent of the Company or the Trustee

preparation and issuance of the substitute Security. 
 (b) The Securities are issuable only in registered form
and without coupons. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to paragraph 8(e) hereof, a Security or Securities may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities in different
authorized denominations by surrender of such Security or Securities at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City or at the office of a transfer agent, together with a written request for the exchange. 

(c) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and subject to paragraph 8(e) hereof, a
Security may be transferred in whole or in a smaller authorized denomination by the Holder or Holders surrendering the Security for transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in New York City or at the office of a transfer agent
accompanied by an executed instrument of assignment and transfer. The registration of transfer of the Securities will be made by the Trustee in New York City.

described in paragraph 12 hereof. 
 11. Enforcement. Except as provided in Section 5.07 of the Indenture, no Holder
of any Security shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of the Indenture or of these terms to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture or of the
Securities or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities,
(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and
such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer

Securities. 
 12. Notices. Where the Indenture or the Regulations provides for notice to Holders of any event, such

 15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process. (a) This Security shall be
governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said state, except that the authorization and execution by the Company of the Securities and
paragraphs 7(a), 18(a) and 18(b) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Spanish law. The Regulations of each Syndicate and the duties of and all other matters relating to the Commissioner 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

and has covenanted and agreed that service of process in any suit or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 45th Floor, New York, New York, 10105, U.S.A. (or
at such other address or at the office of such other authorized agent as the Company may designate in accordance with Section 1.16 of the Indenture). 
 16. Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this
Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 17. 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. 
 18. Subordination. (a) The obligations of the Company under the Securities, whether on account of principal, interest or otherwise, constitute direct, unconditional and subordinated
obligations of the Company. If and to the extent that there is a deficiency in any payment in respect of the Securities, the claims of the Holders in respect of such deficiency will, in the event of insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the
Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure, fall within the category of subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) and will rank in right of payment after Company
Senior Indebtedness and will at all times rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other present and future subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company, except for certain
subordinated obligations prescribed by law and subordinated obligations which are expressed to rank junior to the Securities. Accordingly, no amount shall be payable by the Company to the Holders in respect of such deficiency until the claims with
respect to all Company Senior Indebtedness (other than as aforesaid) admitted in the insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure have been satisfied pursuant to
the laws of the Kingdom of Spain and any amounts in respect of such deficiency thereafter paid to the Trustee will be pari passu with the amounts payable with respect to subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the
Insolvency Law) of the Company in the insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure and shall be held by the Trustee in trust to apply the same: 

(i) first, in payment or satisfaction of the costs, charges, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Trustee in or about
the execution of the trusts of these presents and any unpaid remuneration of the Trustee; 
 (ii) second, in
payment or satisfaction of claims related to Company Senior Indebtedness that have been belatedly or inaccurately communicated to the insolvency administrator or which, by administrative order or decision, are deemed to be included in those claims
that have been belatedly or inaccurately communicated to the insolvency administrator; 
 (iii) third, in payment
or satisfaction of contractually subordinated payments of principal on subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company (including any payments in respect of principal of the Securities) and any
other payments in respect of subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company other than payments set forth in subparagraph (iv) below; 

  
 65 









 (iv) fourth, in payment or satisfaction of payments of interest, including
Additional Amounts, if any, and interest, if any, on such interest due on subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) (as defined in the Insolvency Law) of the Company (including any payments in respect of interest and Additional Amounts, if
any, on the Securities) (excluding interest on secured indebtedness to the extent secured); 
 (v) fifth, in
payment or satisfaction of fines or any other monetary penalties or sanctions; 
 (vi) sixth, in payment or
satisfaction of claims of creditors which are related to the Company as set forth in article 93 of the Insolvency Law; and 
 (vii) seventh, in payment or satisfaction of indebtedness arising from transactions set aside by the Spanish court overseeing the insolvency proceeding (rescisión concursal) and in respect of which
such court has determined that the relevant creditor has acted in bad faith; and 
 (viii) eighth, in payment of
claims arising from contracts with reciprocal obligations as referred to in articles 61, 62, 68 and 69 of the Insolvency Law, wherever the court rules, prior to the administrators’ report of insolvency (administración concursal)
that the creditor repeatedly impedes the fulfillment of the contract against the interest of the insolvency. 
 Prior to any
insolvency (concurso) of the Company under the Insolvency Law or any voluntary or mandatory Company liquidation or similar procedure, the Company may become the subject of a Restructuring or Resolution and the Securities may be subjected to a
Regulatory Bail-in Action, in which case no Holder of any Security shall have any claim against the Company in connection with or arising out of any such Regulatory Bail-in Action.

amount of any securities of such Person or any of its affiliates (including interest and/or principal amounts that have become due and payable (including principal that has become due and payable at the maturity date) but which have not been paid
prior to the execution of the Regulatory Bail-in Action), or (v) redemption of any securities of such Person or any of its affiliates; provided, in each of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, that such action is taken by or

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

comunes) and insolvency estate creditors (acreedores contra la masa) of such Person, as determined in accordance with the Insolvency Law; or (ii) if such Insolvency Law is no longer in effect, all of such rights and claims of all
creditors of such Person, unless in any such case the instrument by which the indebtedness or obligations represented by such rights and claims are created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed by such Person, or are evidenced, provides that they are
subordinate, or are not superior, in right of payment to this Security. 
 19. Certain Undertakings and Agreements by
Holders. (a) Each Holder and beneficial owner by his acceptance of this Security acknowledges, agrees to be bound by and consents to the execution of any Regulatory Bail-in Action with respect to such Security. The rights of such Holder and
beneficial owner under this Security are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the provisions of any such Regulatory Bail-in Action. 

(b) Each Holder and beneficial owner by his acceptance of this Security: (i) acknowledges and agrees that the

of the Trust Indenture Act; (ii) to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be

Securities, the Securities remain outstanding, then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to
