(iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, they have made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable them to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

SECTION 1.3. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

(a) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

(b) Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or the Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer or the Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Guarantor, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 1.4. Acts of Holders of Securities; Meetings; Record Dates.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of any series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer and the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner, which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The Issuer and the Guarantor may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of a series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series; provided that the Issuer and the Guarantor may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as defined below) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Issuer or the Guarantor from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer and the Guarantor, at their own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

(d) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of: (i) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2; (ii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(a); or (iii) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantor, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Issuer and the Guarantor in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

(e) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section with respect to the Securities of a series, the party or parties hereto which set such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party or parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set form in Section 1.6, on or prior to the first Business Day following the existing Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be designated later than the 180th day after the applicable record date and, if an Expiration Date is not designated, with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party or parties hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto.

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

(g) The ownership of Securities of a series shall be proved by the applicable Register.

(h) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Issuer or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Issuer and Guarantor. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided for or permitted, by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuer or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (or sent by facsimile and confirmed in writing) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or

(b) the Issuer or the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed (or sent by facsimile and confirmed in writing), in the case of the Issuer, international air mail postage prepaid and addressed to: Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U., c/o Telefónica, S.A., Distrito Telefónica, Xxxxx xx xx Xxxxxxxxxxxx, x/x, 00000 Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Attention: Mr. Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer and, in the case of the Guarantor, international air mail postage prepaid and addressed to: Telefónica, S.A., Distrito Telefónica, Xxxxx xx xx Xxxxxxxxxxxx, x/x, 00000 Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Attention: Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Meliá, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Guarantor.

The Trustee may rely upon and comply with instructions or directions sent by an authorized representative of the Issuer or the Guarantor via unsecured facsimile or email transmission and the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any kind incurred by the Issuer or the Guarantor due to the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with instructions or directions given by unsecured facsimile or email transmission, provided, however, that such losses have not arisen from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee. The Trustee may request that each of the Company and the Guarantor delivers a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

(a) Notices to Holders will be deemed to be validly given if mailed to them at their respective addresses as recorded in the Register and will be deemed to have been validly given on the seventh day after the date of such mailing.

(b) In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice, so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

(c) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 1.7. Language of Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

SECTION 1.8. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.9. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 1.10. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer or the Guarantor shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 1.11. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or the Guarantees shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

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

SECTION 1.13. Governing Law. Pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 1.14. Saturdays, Sundays and Legal Holidays. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.1, in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity.

SECTION 1.15. Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service.

(a) The Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and any appellate court from any such court thereof, with respect to any legal suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under the Securities or this Indenture and agree that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding shall be determined in any such court. The Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably waive to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any such suit, including actions, suits or proceedings relating to the securities laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or the defense of an inconvenient forum or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect to the maintenance of such legal suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer and the Guarantor agree that the final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, and may be enforced in any court in the jurisdiction of which the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such judgment. To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer and the Guarantor hereby waive any objections to the enforcement by any competent court in Spain of any judgment validly obtained in any such court in New York on the basis of any such legal suit, action or proceeding.

(b) To the extent either the Issuer or the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its respective obligations under the Indenture and the Securities of each series to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(c) By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, each of the Issuer and the Guarantor hereby appoints CT Corporation System as its agent upon which process may be served in any legal action or proceeding which may be instituted in any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York arising out of or relating to the Securities, the Guarantees or this Indenture, but for that purpose only.

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Security Certificates representing the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Dated:


The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee

manually
By:
		Authorized Officer

SECTION 2.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

(a) Security Certificates representing the Securities of each series shall be executed manually or by facsimile, imprint or other reproduction on behalf of the Issuer by an authorized representative of the Issuer who shall be a Director (Administrador Solidario) of the Issuer and shall have endorsed thereon a Guarantee by the Guarantor. Each Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an authorized representative of the Guarantor. The signature of any such authorized representative of the Guarantor may be manual or facsimile.

(b) Security Certificates or Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time the authorized representatives of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Security Certificates or Guarantees.

(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver each Security Certificate representing the Securities of any series executed by the Issuer and if applicable, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee

of the Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Order for the authentication and delivery of such Security Certificates (the “Authentication Order”), and the Trustee in accordance with the Authentication Order shall authenticate and deliver such Security Certificates having such Guarantees endorsed thereon.

(d) If the forms or terms of the Securities of a series and the applicable Guarantee have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Article 3 and Section 2.1, in authenticating each Security Certificate representing the Securities of such series, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to the Securities of such series and the applicable Guarantee, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate stating:

(i) that such forms or terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(ii) that such Securities and the applicable Guarantee, when each Security Certificate representing such Securities is authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and such Securities are issued by the Issuer and the Guarantee is executed and delivered by the Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, such Securities and the applicable Guarantee will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to such exceptions as such counsel shall specify.

(e) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Security Certificate under this Section 2.3 if the Trustee, being advised in writing by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability based upon the advice of counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate any Security Certificate if the issue of the Securities represented by such Security Certificate pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under such Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 and of paragraph (f) above, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.1 or the Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to paragraph (d) above at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security Certificate representing the Securities of such series so long as such Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate (with appropriate modifications) are delivered at or prior to the authentication of each applicable Security Certificate upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued and reasonably contemplate the subsequent issuance of such Securities of such series.

(h) Each Security Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(i) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on the Security Certificate representing such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in Section 2.2 executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Security Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security Certificate shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but the Securities represented by such Security Certificate shall have never been issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Security Certificate to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.10, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security Certificate shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and the Securities represented by such Security Certificate shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(j) The delivery of any Security Certificate by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor, if applicable.

SECTION 2.4. Temporary Security Certificates.

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Security Certificates representing the Securities of any series, the Issuer may execute, and upon Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Security Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees or the Guarantor substantially of the tenor of definitive Guarantees in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. The temporary Securities may be in global form.

(b) If temporary Security Certificates representing Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Security Certificates representing Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.

The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer 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 deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection 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 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.

(ii) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Subsection, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 2.5, each Security of any series 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.

Prior to due presentment of a Security Certificate for registration of transfer of a Security represented thereby, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.8) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. All Security Certificates surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer of any Securities represented thereby or exchange or for

credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if the applicable Security Certificate is surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and the Securities represented thereby shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee one or more Security Certificates previously authenticated and delivered hereunder for cancellation of any Securities represented thereby which the Issuer or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) one or more Security Certificates previously authenticated and delivered hereunder for cancellation of any Securities represented thereby which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Securities represented by any Security Certificate so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Security Certificate shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Security Certificate representing Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.

(a) the Issuer fails to pay, and the Guarantor fails to honor the Guarantee with respect to payments of, principal of, interest due on or any Additional Amounts in respect of the Securities of that series for a period of 21 days from the Stated Maturity of such principal or interest payment;

(b) the Issuer fails to perform any other obligation arising from the Securities of that series or the Guarantor fails to perform any other obligation arising under the Guarantee of the Securities of such series and in each case, such failure continues for more than 60 days (90 days if the failure to perform relates to an obligation of the Issuer or the Guarantor arising under Article 8 hereof) after there has been given, by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice to the Issuer specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(c) the Issuer or the Guarantor fails (taking into account any applicable grace periods) to fulfill any payment obligation in excess of €100,000,000 or its equivalent in any other

currency under any Relevant Indebtedness or under any guarantees or suretyships provided for under any Relevant Indebtedness of others, and this failure remains uncured for 30 days;

(d) the holders of any other Relevant Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Guarantor accelerate any payment obligation in excess of €100,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency as a result of the Issuer or the Guarantor entering into a transaction described and in accordance with the conditions set forth under Article 8 hereof, which transaction constitutes an event of default in respect of such other Relevant Indebtedness;

(e) the Issuer or the Guarantor announces its inability to meet its financial obligations;

(f) a court, at the request of any creditor, commences insolvency proceedings (concurso) against the Issuer or the Guarantor and any such proceeding is not discharged or dismissed within 60 days;

(g) the Issuer or the Guarantor goes into liquidation unless it is done as a result of the Issuer or the Guarantor entering into a transaction described and in accordance with the conditions set forth under Article 8 hereof;

(h) the Issuer or the Guarantor makes a filing seeking relief under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency (concurso) laws; or

(i) the Guarantee ceases to be valid or legally binding for any reason.

SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If any Event of Default shall occur in relation to the Securities of a series (taking into account any applicable grace period), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may, by written notice to the Issuer, at the Corporate Trust Office (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare that the Securities of such series, including principal, any premium thereon and all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become immediately due and payable, at their principal amount together with all interest, if any, accrued and unpaid thereon and premium, 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.

(b) Such declarations of acceleration may be rescinded and past defaults may be waived, except defaults in payment of principal of, interest on or premium, if any, by Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount on the Securities of such series pursuant to the procedures and under the conditions described in Section 9.2 of this Indenture; provided, however, that the amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.7 hereof have been paid.

SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if default is made in the payment of any principal of, interest or Additional Amounts on, any Security of any series and such default continues for a period of 21 days, the Issuer will upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on all Securities of such series for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in each Security Certificate representing the Securities of such series, and, in addition thereto, such further amount 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 counsel, and all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

(b) 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 in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 5.4. Trustee May File Proof of Claim.

(a) In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities of a series or the property of the Issuer, the Guarantor or of such other creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders of Securities of such series and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of the Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities of such series, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

(b) No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of the Securities of a series, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted under the applicable law, the Trustee may, on behalf of such Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Security Certificates representing any of the Securities of a series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.6. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of each Securities Certificate representing the applicable Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if the Securities represented thereby are only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7;

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, and any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amount on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amount, respectively (subject to Section 2.8); and

Third: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Issuer.

SECTION 5.7. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the applicable Guarantee, the Securities of such series or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) the Holder initiating the proceeding shall have given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured with respect to the Securities of such series;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security of any series shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium on, interest on and any Additional Amounts on such Security on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in each Security Certificate representing such Securities (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder 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, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders 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 Security Certificates in Section 2.7(f), no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities of any series is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of Securities of any series 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 such Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series 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

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and

(c) the Trustee need not follow any such direction if doing so would in its reasonable discretion either involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining in such direction;

provided, further, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination with respect to any such conflict, personal liability or undue prejudice.

SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series of Securities of the Issuer and its consequences, except a default:

(i) in the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts on, 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;

provided, however, that all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.7 hereof have been paid.

(b) Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs (including legal fees and expenses) 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 Issuer or the Guarantor, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series of the Issuer, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, or Additional Amounts on any Security of such series on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in the Security Certificate representing such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, 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 each of the Issuer and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants 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.

ARTICLE 6

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) The Trustee undertakes to perform, such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read against the Trustee in this Indenture; and

(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(b) In the case of an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall, with respect to the Securities of such series, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from its liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a) of this Section;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

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

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

For the purpose of this Section, the term “Default” means, with respect to the Securities of any series, any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series; provided, however, that except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if, and so long as, a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

(j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or the Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities of any series and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Issuer and the Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 6.6. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(d) The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the termination of this Indenture.

SECTION 6.8. 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. For this purpose the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by reason of being Trustee for the Securities of any series and Trustee for the Securities of any other series.

SECTION 6.9. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series 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 6.10. 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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

(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 Issuer. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the reasonable expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of 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 the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer and the Guarantor. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after its removal, the removed Trustee may petition at the reasonable expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 with respect to the Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Issuer or the Guarantor or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months;

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or the Guarantor or by any Holder of a Security of any series; or

(iii) the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged 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, (1) the Issuer by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable or (if required) all, series of Securities, or (2) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of the applicable series of Securities 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 and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to such series of Securities.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Issuer, by a Board Resolution, 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 shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. 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 the applicable series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Issuer and the Guarantor and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of the applicable series shall have

been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders of Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(f) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of the applicable series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. 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.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and to 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 of the retiring Trustee, but, upon the request of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges upon the terms of this Indenture, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series of the Issuer, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series of the Issuer 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, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and 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 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 and each 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 Issuer and the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all 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.

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantor 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 paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided such Person 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. In case any Security Certificate representing any Securities of a series 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 Security Certificate so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Security Certificate.

SECTION 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer or Guarantor. The Trustee shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in the Trust Indenture Act, Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to the Trust Indenture Act, Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

SECTION 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

(a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate each Security Certificate representing Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.7, and each Securities represented by a Security Certificate so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if such Security Certificate was authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Security Certificates 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. Each Authenticating

Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall at all times be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agents, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S.$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes, of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

(b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; 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.

(c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. 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 Issuer and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. 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.

(d) If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Securities is made pursuant to this Section, each Security Certificate representing the Securities of each such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Security Certificate representing the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating each applicable Security Certificate upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Issuer wishes to have each Security Certificate representing the Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Issuer in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by such Issuer with respect of such series of Securities. The Issuer agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto.

SECTION 6.15. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer or the Guarantor may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Issuer or the Guarantor actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an Omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

SECTION 6.16. Appointment of Co-Trustee.

(a) For the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Issuer may at the time be located in connection with the enforcement of any right or the taking of any action on behalf of the Holders of any Securities of a series issued hereunder, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, hereunder in respect of such series of Securities and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, such title hereunder, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Each co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.9. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Holders of each applicable series of Securities and the Issuer of the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 6. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name for the purpose of enforcing any rights or taking any other action on behalf of the Holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder.

(d) The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer 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 money.

(e) Any money deposited, with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer or the Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer automatically, or (if then held by the Issuer or the Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an general creditor, look only to the Issuer or the Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer or the Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the right to receive payment of principal of any Security (whether at Maturity or otherwise) or interest there will become void at the end of three years after the due date thereof.

SECTION 10.4. Additional Amounts.

(a) All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, redemption amount, interest or otherwise) in respect of the Securities of a series and the related 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, unless otherwise specified in any Board Resolution or other appropriate corporate authorization of the Issuer or the Guarantor establishing the terms of Securities of a series or the Guarantees relating thereto in accordance with Section 2.1, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall pay such Additional

Amounts as will result in receipt by the Holders of such series of 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 Security of a series:

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

(ii) where the Issuer or the Guarantor have not received such information as may be necessary to allow payments on such Security to be made free and clear of Spanish withholding tax or deduction on account of Spanish taxes, including a duly executed and completed payment statement from the Paying Agent, pursuant to Law 13/1985 of May 25 (as amended), Royal Decree 1065/2007 of July 27 (as amended by Royal Decree 1145/2011 of July 29), and any implementing legislation or regulation; (iii) 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;

(iv) 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;

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

(vi) in the event that such Security is redeemed pursuant to Section 11.8(b) hereof.

provided further that Additional Amounts in respect of the Securities of a series will also not be paid with respect to any payment to a Holder of any Securities of such series 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 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.

For the purposes of Section 10.4(a)(iii) above, the “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 this Indenture.

(b) 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, subject to exceptions equivalent to those set forth in Section 10.4(a) above.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions, 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 or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

SECTION 10.5. Statement by Officers as to Default.

(a) For so long as any Securities of any series are Outstanding, each of the Guarantor and the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signer or signers thereof the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is in compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Issuer or the Guarantor shall not be in compliance specifying all instances of noncompliance and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

(b) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible, and in any event within ten days after the Issuer or the Guarantor becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 10.6. Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Issuer and the Guarantor each will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise if its respective Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of any series of Securities.

SECTION 10.7. Limitation on Liens. So long as any of the Securities of a series remains Outstanding, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor will create or will have outstanding any Encumbrance upon the whole or any part of its present or future assets, in order to secure any Relevant Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Issuer, the Guarantor or by any other Person unless such Securities of a series are equally and ratably secured therewith, for as long as such Relevant Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any Encumbrance securing Relevant Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Guarantor, the Issuer or any other Person if the Relevant Indebtedness so secured (a) was originally offered, distributed or sold primarily to the residents of the Kingdom of Spain; (b) by its terms matures within one year of its date of issue, or (c) if such Encumbrance affects assets of an entity which, when such Encumbrance was created, was unrelated to the Guarantor or the Issuer and which was subsequently acquired by the Guarantor or the Issuer; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall limit the ability of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to grant or permit to subsist Encumbrances over any or all of their respective present or future assets to secure Relevant Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any other Person, to the extent that the aggregate principal amounts so secured do not exceed 5% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Guarantor, as reflected in the most recent balance sheet of the Guarantor (prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect at the date of such computation and as applied by the Guarantor) prior to the time such Relevant Indebtedness was issued or guaranteed.

SECTION 10.8. Covenant Defeasance of Securities of Any Series.

(a) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.1 with respect to any series of Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantor may by Board Resolution elect to be released from their respective obligations under any specified provisions of this Indenture applicable to any series of Securities Outstanding, and the provisions so specified in such Board Resolution, as they relate to Outstanding Securities of such series, shall no longer be in effect (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall, upon the Order of the Issuer or the Guarantor, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, when:

(i) the Issuer or the Guarantor has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.9), irrevocably (irrespective of whether the conditions in subparagraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) below have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 and Section 10.3(e)), as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series with reference to this Section 10.8, in the case of a series of Securities denominated in United States dollars, United States money or U.S. Government Obligations, and in the case of a series of Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, funds in such currency, in each case in an amount which, through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, in an amount which will provide not later than the opening of business on the due date of any payment referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this subparagraph (i), in the case of a Series of Securities denominated in United States dollars, United States money or U.S. Government Obligations, and in the case of a series of Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars,

funds in such currency, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge (1) the principal of (and premium, if any), (2) interest on and (3) Additional Amounts, if any, on 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; and

(ii) such deposit does not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or the Guarantor is a party or by which either is bound; and

(iii) no Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 5.1(e), Section 5.1(f) or Section 5.1(h) is in occurrence and continues on a date which is six months after the date of such deposit; and

(iv) the Issuer or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters to the effect that the Holders of the Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; and

(v) such Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act); and

(vi) such Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act; and

(vii) if the Securities of that series are then listed on any securities exchange, the Issuer or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing to the effect that such deposit and Covenant Defeasance will not cause such Securities to be delisted from such exchange; and

(viii) the Issuer or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Covenant Defeasance of the specified provisions of this Indenture as they relate to the Outstanding Securities of such series have been complied with as contemplated by this Section.

(b) From and after the date when the foregoing conditions have been met, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, covenant, condition or limitation set forth in any of the specified provisions of this Indenture with respect to which the Covenant Defeasance has taken place as contemplated herein, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of any other series will be unaffected thereby.

ARTICLE 11

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 11.1. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

SECTION 11.2. Election to Redeem: Notice to Trustee. The election of the Issuer to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuer of all or less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Issuer shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Issuer (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

SECTION 11.3. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

(a) If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of Securities of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for such Security. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence, and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amounts thereof to be redeemed.

(b) The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security of a series, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of such Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

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

SECTION 11.4. Notice of Redemption.

(a) Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities of the applicable series to be redeemed at his or her address appearing in the Register. All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of a series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities of that series to be redeemed and if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Securities of that series to be redeemed;

(iv) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, net of any withholding required by Spanish law and regulations, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

(v) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

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

(vii) the CUSIP and ISIN number or numbers, if any, with respect to such Securities.

(b) Notice of redemption of a series of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer and shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 11.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or the Guarantor is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities of the series which are to be redeemed on that date. Upon the deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent of a sum sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities of the series which are to be redeemed on that date, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will have fully complied with its payment obligations under this Section 11.5 with respect to any such amount.

SECTION 11.6. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

(a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities of any series 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 Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1, installments of interest on Securities of a series 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 Security, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.8.

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

SECTION 11.7. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security of a series which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer 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 and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of principal of the Security so surrendered.

SECTION 11.8. Early Redemption for Taxation Reasons.

(a) If, in relation to the Securities of a series, (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 Securities of such series, (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 of such series, provided that 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, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option and upon proper notice as provided in this Indenture, redeem all of the Outstanding Securities at the applicable Redemption Price. No such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 150 days prior to the date on which the Issuer or the Guarantor would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due.

(b) In addition, if so specified pursuant to Section 2.1 in respect of any series of Securities, if such series of Securities is not listed on an organized market in an OECD country no later than the 45 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date on such series of Securities, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option and having given no less than 15 days’ notice (ending on a day which is no later than the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date) to the Holders of such series of Securities and upon proper notice as provided in this Indenture (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all of the outstanding Securities of such series at the applicable Redemption Price; provided that from and including the issue date of the Securities of such series to and including such Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain or maintain such listing, as applicable.

(c) In the case of any successor Person to the Issuer or the Guarantor, the foregoing provision shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any jurisdiction in which such 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, except that the change of laws or regulations or interpretations or the administration thereof referred to in Section 11.8(a) above (other than if the relevant jurisdiction is Spain in which case the relevant date remains the date of issuance) must occur on or after the date the successor Person assumes the obligations of the Issuer or Guarantor, as the case may be.
