payment of interest thereon and/or the issue price), so that such further issue shall be

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

     (e) If any Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest
payment shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment
shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date.

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

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

     (c) The Paying Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer and the Guarantor agree:

and the Issuer and the Guarantor promise to pay such compensation and to reimburse the
Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees
and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon
receipt of such invoices as the Issuer and the Guarantor shall reasonably require. The
Issuer and the Guarantor agree to indemnify the Paying Agent for, and to hold it harmless
against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses (including the costs and
expenses of defending against any claim of liability) incurred by the Paying Agent that
arises out of or in connection with its acting as Paying Agent hereunder, except such as
may result from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any
of its agents or employees. The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer and the Guarantor for, or in respect of, any
actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying
Agent in reliance upon (A) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon
obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or the Guarantor or (B) written
instructions from the Issuer and the Guarantor. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive the termination of this Supplemental Indenture.

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

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

8

 

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

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

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

     (vii) Under no circumstances will any party to this Supplemental Indenture be liable
to any other party to this Supplemental Indenture for any special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage (including, but not limited to, the loss of business,
goodwill, opportunity or profit) whether or not foreseeable and even if advised of the
possibility of such loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for loss or damage
is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary
obligation or otherwise.

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

9

 

Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Paying Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or
removal, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer and the Guarantor of its
compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it
hereunder.

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

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

other than the Tax Certification Agent shall be given in accordance with Section 1.5 of

11

 

Event of Default with respect to the Designated Securities and the Designated Securities will
be accelerated in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) of (c) above,
Designated Securities represented by Definitive Certificates shall be (i) delivered by the Trustee
in exchange for beneficial interest in Designated Securities represented by Global Certificates and
(ii) registered in such names, and issued in such authorized denominations, as shall be requested
by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with its customary procedures.

     Section 2.10. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The provisions of Sections 4.3 and 10.8 of
the Original Indenture will apply to the Designated Securities.

     Section 2.11. Additional Amounts. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately following
sentence, the provisions of Section 10.4 of the Original Indenture will apply to the Designated
Securities. In the event of an early redemption of the Designated Securities for the reasons set
forth in Section 11.8(b) of the Original Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may
be, may be required to withhold tax and will pay interest in respect of the principal amount of the
Designated Securities redeemed net of the withholding tax applicable to such payments. If this
were to occur, Beneficial Owners would have to either follow the “Quick Refund Procedures” set
forth in Article II of Annex A or Article II of Annex B, as applicable, to the Letter of
Appointment or follow the “Direct Refund from Spanish Tax Authorities Procedure” set forth in Annex
C to the Letter of Appointment.

     Section 2.12. Redemption. The provisions of Article 11 of the Original Indenture will apply
to the Designated Securities. The “Redemption Price” means: (a) with respect to any Designated
Securities to be redeemed other than pursuant to Section 11.8 of the Original Indenture, an amount
equal to the greater of: (x) 100% of the principal amount of such Designated Securities to be
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (as
defined below) of such Designated Securities and (y) as determined by the Independent Investment
Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof and
interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date) discounted to the
Redemption Date of the Designated Securities being redeemed on a semiannual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points for the
Designated Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of
such Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date of the Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed; and (b) with
respect to any Designated Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.8 of the Original
Indenture, an amount equal to their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, thereon to but

12

 

excluding the Redemption Date. The “Redemption Date” of any Designated Securities to be
redeemed will be any Business Day fixed by the Issuer for redemption of such Designated Securities
and specified in the applicable notice of redemption provided by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 11.2 of the Original Indenture; provided, however, that the Redemption Date of any
Designated Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.8(a) of the Original Indenture shall be
an Interest Payment Date.

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

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

     TELEFÓNICA EMISIONES, S.A.U., a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of
Spain (herein called the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture
referred to hereinafter), for

A-1

 

value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered
assigns, the principal sum of $[•] on July 15, 2019 and, subject to and in accordance with the
Tax Certification Procedures, to pay interest thereon from [ • ], 2009, or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, in arrears on
January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2010, at the rate of 5.877% per annum
until Maturity, and at Maturity.

     Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Except as
provided below for the first Interest Payment Date, on each Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will
pay interest on the Designated Securities (as defined herein) for the period commencing on and
including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day
immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date. On the first Interest Payment Date, the Issuer
will pay interest for the period beginning on and including [ • ], 2009 and ending on and
including January 14, 2010. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no
interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date. If
the Maturity of the Designated Securities is not a Business Day, payment of principal and interest
on the Designated Securities will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no
interest will accrue for the period from and after the Maturity.

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

     For informational purposes only, without any substantive effect whatsoever and solely in order
to comply with Article 291, letter (d) of the Spanish Corporations Law (Ley de Sociedades
Anónimas), approved by Royal Decree (Real Decreto Legislativo) 1564/1989, of December 22, as
amended, it is hereby noted that the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities was

A-2

 

equivalent to
€711,439,954.47, based on the Noon Buying Rate as determined and published by the Federal
Reserve, as of June 26, 2009, for the Euro of $1.4056 per €1.00. Amounts due under the Designated
Securities shall not under any circumstances whatsoever be payable in any currency other than U.S.
dollars or such coin or
currency of the United States as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment
of public and private debts.

     The Bank of New York Mellon shall initially act as Trustee and Paying Agent with respect to
the Designated Securities.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of the Designated Securities set forth on
the reverse of this Security Certificate, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as if set forth at this place.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof, directly or through an Authenticating Agent, by manual signature of an
authorized signatory, the Designated Securities represented by this Security Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF SECURITY CERTIFICATE

     This Security Certificate is one of the Security Certificates representing a duly authorized
issue of Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Designated Securities”), issued under an Indenture,
dated as of May 8, 2009 (as amended and supplemented the “Original Indenture”), among the Issuer,
Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (herein
called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to
herein), and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (herein called
the “Trustee”, which term includes any other successor trustee under the Indenture), as
supplemented with respect to the Designated Securities by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of [ • ], 2009, among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee and
Paying Agent (collectively with the Original Indenture, as supplemented, the “Indenture”) and
reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders
of the Designated Securities and of the terms upon which each Security Certificate representing the
Designated Securities is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered.

     The Designated Securities will be subject to redemption at any time, as a whole or in part, at
the election of the Issuer at a Redemption Price which is equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the
principal amount of the Designated Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities to be redeemed; and
(ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon (exclusive of interest
accrued thereon to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date of such Designated
Securities being redeemed on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points for the Designated Securities being
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Designated Securities
(or any portion thereof) being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated
Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed. Any such redemption will be made in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture.

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

A-5

 

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

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

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its
successors, provided that if the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities
dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer and the Guarantor will substitute
therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the
Issuer and the Guarantor.

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

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

A-6

 

such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the
Independent Investment Banker on the third New York Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

     The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Designated Securities,
create and issue further Securities having the same terms and conditions as the previously issued
Designated Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, the first
payment of interest thereon and/or the issue price), so that such further issue shall be
consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Designated Securities; provided,
however, that, any such further issuance will only be made if either such additional securities are
issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
or any such further issuance is a “qualified reopening” as such term is defined under Treasury
Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3) promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     The Designated Securities may be redeemed upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice
(ending on an Interest Payment Date) given as provided in the Indenture, if (i) as a result of any
change in the laws or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision thereof or
any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or in the interpretation or
administration of any such laws or regulations which becomes effective on or after the date of
issuance of the Designated Securities, (x) the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is or
would be required to pay any Additional Amounts (y) the Guarantor is or would be required to deduct
or withhold tax on any payment to the Issuer to enable the Issuer to make any payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities and such payment cannot with reasonable effort by
the Guarantor be structured to avoid such deduction or withholding and (ii) such circumstances are
evidenced by the delivery by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Trustee of a
certificate signed by an authorized officer or director of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, stating that such circumstances prevail and describing the facts leading to such
circumstances, together with an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognized standing to the
effect that such circumstances prevail, at a Redemption Price equal to their principal amount,
together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.

     If the Designated Securities are not listed on an organized market in an OECD country no later
than 45 days prior to the initial Interest Payment Date on such Designated Securities, the Issuer
or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option and having given no less than 15 days’
notice (ending on a day which is no later than a Business Day immediately preceding such Interest
Payment Date) to the Holders of such Designated Securities and upon proper notice as provided in
the Indenture, which notice shall be irrevocable, redeem all of the outstanding Designated
Securities at their principal amount, together with accrued interest, if

A-7

 

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

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

     All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, redemption amount, interest or
otherwise) in respect of the Designated Securities and the Designated Guarantee by the Issuer or
the Guarantor will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account
of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature
imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision thereof or
any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction
of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required by law. In the event that
such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall pay such
Additional Amounts as will result in receipt by the Holders of the Designated Securities of such
amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required;
provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantor will not be required to pay any Additional
Amounts in respect of any Designated Security:

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

     (2) to a Holder of such Designated Security in respect of whom the Issuer or the
Guarantor does not receive such information (which may include a tax residence
certificate) concerning such Holder’s

A-8

 

identity and tax residence (or the identity and tax
residence of the Beneficial Owner for whose benefit it holds such Designated Security) as
it may require in order to comply with Law 13/1985 of May 25, as amended, Royal Decree
1065/2007 of July 27 and any implementing legislation or regulation;

     (3) presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after
the Relevant Date (as defined below), except to the extent that the relevant Holder would
have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the
expiry of such period of 30 days;

     (4) where the withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to or for the benefit
of an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive
2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council
meeting of November 26-27, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced
in order to conform to, such Directives;

     (5) presented for payment (where presentation is required) by or on behalf of a
Holder (or Beneficial Owner) who would have been able to avoid such withholding or
deduction by presenting the relevant Designated Security to another paying agent in a
Member State of the European Union;

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

     (7) to or for the benefit of a Spanish-resident legal entity subject to Spanish
Corporate Income Tax if (a) the Spanish-resident legal entity fails to identify itself as
such to the Issuer and the Guarantor in accordance with article 59.q) or 59.s) of the
Corporate Income Tax Regulations approved by Royal Decree 1777/2004 of July 30 or (b) the
Spanish tax authorities determine that the Designated Securities do not comply with
exemption requirements specified in the Reply to a Consultation of the Directorate General
for Taxation (Dirección General de Tributos) dated July 27, 2004 or otherwise and require
a withholding to be made;

provided further that Additional Amounts in respect of the Designated Securities will also not be
paid with respect to any payment to a Holder of any Designated Securities who is a fiduciary, a
partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole Beneficial Owner of that payment,
to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (or any political
subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax) to be

A-9

 

included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the
fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interest holder in that limited liability company or a
Beneficial Owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had it been the Holder.

     “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which such payment first becomes
due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the Paying
Agent on or prior to such due date, it
means the first date on which the full amount of such moneys having been so received and being
available for payment to Holders, notice to that effect shall have been duly given to the Holders
in accordance with the Indenture.

     The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction for or
on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature
of any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may
be, is organized, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

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

     As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, if any Event of Default
shall occur in relation to the Designated Securities (taking into account any applicable grace
period), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Designated Securities may, by written notice to the Issuer, at the Corporate Trust Office (and to
the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare that the Designated Securities including principal,
and all interest then accrued and unpaid on, the Designated
Securities shall be immediately due and
payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due

A-10

 

and payable, at their principal amount
together with all interest, if any, accrued and unpaid thereon and Additional Amounts, if any,
payable in respect thereof without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will expressly waive, unless, prior thereto,
all Events of Default in respect of such Securities of such series shall have been cured.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the Designated Securities or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of and interest and, to
the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal or premium on any overdue interest, on the Designated Securities at the rate or rates
herein prescribed.

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

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

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the

Guarantee

     For value received, Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima organized under the laws of the
Kingdom of Spain, having its registered office at Gran Via, 28, 28013 Madrid, Spain (herein called
the “Guarantor” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to in each
Security Certificate representing the Securities of any series upon which this Guarantee is
endorsed), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holders of the Securities of
any series represented by each Security Certificate upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to
the Trustee, in its individual and trust capacities, and on behalf of each such Holder, the due and
punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and all other amounts due under
the Securities of any such series when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the
Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, on an
unsubordinated and unconditional basis according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred
to therein. In case of the failure of Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U. (the “Issuer”, which term
includes any successor Person under the Indenture), punctually to make any such payment of
principal, premium, if any and interest and all other amounts due under the Indenture and on such
Securities of any such series, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made
punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by
declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by
the Issuer.

     The Guarantor hereby further agrees that any amounts to be payable by the Guarantor under this
Guarantee (whether in respect of principal, redemption amount, interest or otherwise) will be made
free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on
behalf of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency
therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges is required by law. Subject to the exceptions set forth in
Section 10.4 of the Original Indenture (as such term is defined in each Security Certificate
representing the Securities of any series upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), in the event that
such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Guarantor shall pay such Additional Amounts
as will result in receipt by the Holders of the Securities of any such series of such amounts as
would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required.

     The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal
debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute, full and unconditional, irrespective of, and
shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Securities of any
such series or the Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Securities of any such
series or the Indenture, or any waivers, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer in
respect thereof by the Holders of such Securities of any such series or the Trustee or any other
circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or
guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or
indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such

Securities of any such series, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium
payable upon redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereon, or change the
provisions relating to payments of Additional Amounts thereon, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof
or increase the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and
payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2 of the
Original Indenture. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing
of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, the benefits of orden,
division and excusion under Spanish law, any right to require a proceeding first against the
Issuer, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and
all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment
in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any)
on such Securities of any such series and the Guarantor shall have fully performed all its
obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of any such series, this Guarantee
and the Indenture; after such time, this Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

     The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of such Securities of any such
series and the Trustee against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the
Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall
not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of
subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if
any) on all Securities of any such series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the
due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, Additional Amounts, if
any, and all other amounts due under the Securities of any series represented by each Security
Certificate upon which this Guarantee is endorsed.

     The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall, without any further act or thing
being required to be done or to occur, extend to the obligations of any successor Person who is not
the Guarantor arising in respect of the Securities of any such series by virtue of a substitution
pursuant to the Indenture.

     The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee in respect of the Securities of any such
series will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the
Guarantor under this Guarantee and will rank pari passu without any preference among such
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee in respect of the Securities of any such series
and at least pari passu with all other unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and monetary
obligations involving or otherwise related to borrowed money of the Guarantor, present and future;
provided that the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee in respect of the Securities of
each series will be effectively subordinated to those obligations that are preferred under Law
22/2003 (Ley Concursal) dated July 9, 2003 regulating insolvency proceedings in the Kingdom of
Spain.

     All terms used in this Guarantee, which are not otherwise defined herein, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

New York.
