ARTICLE 2
Designated Securities
Section 2.01. Creation of Designated Securities. There is hereby created a new series of
Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as Floating Rate Senior Notes due
2013 (the “Designated Securities”). The Designated Securities have been designated as series E
of the Issuer in the public deed of issuance executed by one of the Directors (Administradores
Solidarios) of the Issuer on June 21, 2007 and registered with the Mercantile Registry of Madrid on
June 26, 2007 .
Section 2.02. Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount of Designated Securities. The
aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities shall initially be limited to $850,000,000
(except for Designated Securities represented
6
by any Security Certificate authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or
in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Designated Securities pursuant to Section 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, 9.6
or 11.7 of the Original Indenture and except for any Designated Securities which, pursuant to
Section 2.3 of the Original Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
under the Indenture). The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of
Designated Securities, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as
the previously issued Designated Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the
issue date, the first payment of interest thereon and/or the issue price), so that such further
issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Outstanding Designated Securities;
provided, however, that any such further issuance will only be made if either such additional
securities are issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income
tax purposes or any such further issuance is a “qualified reopening” as such term is defined under
Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3) promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
Section 2.03. Payment of Principal. The principal of the Outstanding Designated Securities
shall be due and payable at the Stated Maturity.
Section 2.04. Interest and Interest Rate.
(a) The Designated Securities will bear interest from July 2, 2007 or from the most
recent date through which the Issuer has paid or provided for interest on the Designated
Securities.
(b) Except with respect to the first Interest Period, the interest rate per annum for the
Designated Securities will be reset on the first day of each Interest Period and will be equal to
LIBOR plus 0.33% as determined by the Calculation Agent. For the first Interest Period, the
interest rate per annum for the Designated Securities will be equal to One-Month LIBOR plus 0.33%
as determined by the Calculation Agent. The amount of interest for the Designated Securities for
each day the Designated Securities are Outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated
by dividing the applicable interest rate in effect for that day by 360 and multiplying the result
by the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Designated Securities on that day. The amount of
interest to be paid on the Designated Securities for each Interest Period will be calculated by
adding the applicable Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period.
(c) Subject to and in accordance with the Tax Certification Procedures, the Issuer or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay interest on the Designated Securities on each February 4,
May 4, August 4 and November 4 of each year beginning on August 4, 2007 until Maturity, and at
Maturity (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that
is not a Business Day, other than the Interest Payment Date that is also the Maturity, that
Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the following day that is a Business Day, except that if
such next Business Day is in a different month,
7
then that Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day.
(d) Except as described below for the first Interest Period, on each Interest Payment Date,
the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay interest on the Designated Securities for
the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending
on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date. The first Interest
Period will begin on and include July 2, 2007 and, subject to the immediately preceding paragraph,
will end on and include August 3, 2007. Each period for which interest is payable on the Designated
Securities is referred to as an “Interest Period”.
(e) If the Maturity of any Designated Security is not a Business Day, payment of principal and
interest on the applicable Designated Security will be made on the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Maturity.
(f) The interest rate on the Designated Securities will in no event be higher than the maximum
rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general
application.
(g) Subject to and in accordance with the Tax Certification Procedures, interest on each
Designated Security will be paid only to the Person in whose name such Designated Security was
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the applicable Interest Payment
Date.
Section 2.05. Calculation Agent.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Issuer hereby appoints
The Bank of New York as the initial Calculation Agent under the Indenture for the purpose of
performing the functions of the Calculation Agent with respect to the payments of interest,
principal and Additional Amounts, if any, in the manner and at the times provided in the Security
Certificates representing Designated Securities and the Indenture.
(b) The Calculation Agent shall exercise due care to determine the payment amounts of
interest, principal and Additional Amounts, if any, for each Designated Security and all other
matters which are required to be determined or provided by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the
terms of each such Designated Security and as described in this Supplemental Indenture, and shall
communicate the same to the Company, the Trustee, the Tax Certification Agent and any Paying Agent
at least Three Business Days prior to such determination or performance.
(c) The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any Holder or Beneficial Owner of the
Designated Securities, provide the interest rate on the Designated Securities then in effect.
8
(d) All calculations of the Calculation Agent in respect of the Designated Securities, in the
absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Issuer, the
Guarantor and the Holders of Designated Securities.
(e) The Calculation Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer and the Guarantor
agree:
(i) The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed in
writing with the Issuer and the Guarantor for all services rendered by the Calculation
Agent, and the Issuer and the Guarantor promise to pay such compensation and to reimburse
the Calculation Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it
hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer and the Guarantor shall reasonably
require. The Issuer and the Guarantor agree to indemnify the Calculation Agent for, and to
hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses
(including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability) incurred by
the Calculation Agent that arises out of or in connection with its acting as Calculation
Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith of the Calculation Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Calculation Agent
shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer and the
Guarantor for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be
taken in good faith by the Calculation Agent in reliance upon (1) the written opinion of
counsel satisfactory to it and upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or
the Guarantor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (2) written
instructions from the Issuer and the Guarantor. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable
for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information used in
good faith and with due care to calculate the payment amounts of interest, principal and
Additional Amounts, if any, for each Designated Security or in determining any other
matter required to be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the terms of each
such Designated Security. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination
of this Supplemental Indenture.
(ii) In acting under the Indenture and in connection with the Designated Securities,
the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and the Guarantor and does
not assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the
Holders of the Designated Securities.
(iii) The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in
respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or
9
anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the Designated Securities, any
notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or
communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed
by the proper party or parties.
(iv) The Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are
herein specifically set forth and any duties necessarily incidental thereto, and no
implied duties or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Calculation
Agent.
(v) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice,
request, direction or other communication from the Issuer or the Guarantor made or given
by it under any provision of the Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by any proper
officer or an authorized person of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be.
(vi) The Calculation Agent may, upon obtaining the prior written consent of the
Issuer and the Guarantor, perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys, and the Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct
or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder.
(vii) Under no circumstances will any party to this Supplemental Indenture be liable
to any other party to this Supplemental Indenture for any special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage (including, but not limited to, the loss of business,
goodwill, opportunity or profit) whether or not foreseeable and even if advised of the
possibility of such loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for loss or damage
is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary
obligation or otherwise.
(f) (i) The Calculation Agent may at any time resign as Calculation Agent by giving written
notice to the Issuer and the Guarantor of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which
its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be
earlier than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer and the Guarantor, unless the
Issuer and the Guarantor agree in writing to accept less notice. The Calculation Agent may be
removed (with or without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing
signed on behalf of the Issuer and the Guarantor by any proper officer or an authorized person
thereof and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective, subject
to (if such Calculation Agent is not the Trustee) the written consent of the Trustee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the
date of the appointment by the Issuer and the Guarantor, as hereinafter provided, of a successor
Calculation Agent. If within 60 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a
successor Calculation Agent has not
10
been appointed, the Calculation Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint a successor Calculation Agent. A successor Calculation Agent shall be appointed by the
Issuer and the Guarantor by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and the
Guarantor, as the case may be, by any proper officer or an authorized person thereof and the
successor Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance
by it of such appointment, the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Calculation
Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the
payment by the Issuer and the Guarantor of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services
rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with the services rendered by it hereunder.
(ii) Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to
its predecessor and to the Issuer and the Guarantor an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers,
trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if
originally named as such Calculation Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment
of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer
and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of
any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.
(iii) Any Person into which the Calculation Agent may be merged or converted or with
which the Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Calculation Agent shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Calculation
Agent, or all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Calculation
Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided that it shall have an
established place of business in The City of New York, be the successor Calculation Agent
under the Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or
sale shall forthwith be given to the Issuer and the Guarantor within 30 days of such
merger, conversion, consolidation or sale.
(g) Any notice required to be given by the Calculation Agent to any person hereunder other
than the Tax Certification Agent shall be given in accordance with Section 1.5 of the Original
Indenture. Any notice required to be given to the Tax Certification Agent shall be delivered in
person, sent by letter or communicated by telephone (subject, in the case of communication by
telephone, to confirmation dispatched within twenty-four hours by letter), to the following address
(or to any other address of which the Tax Certification Agent shall have
11

other address of which the Calculation Agent shall have notified the others in writing): The Bank
of New York, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0X, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Global Corporate Trust.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Issuer hereby appoints
The Bank of New York as the initial Paying Agent under the Indenture for the purpose of performing
the functions of the Paying Agent with respect to the Designated Securities.
(b) The Paying Agent shall exercise due care in performing the functions of the Paying Agent
for the Designated Securities.
(c) The Paying Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer and the Guarantor agree:
(i) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed in
writing with the Issuer and the Guarantor for all services rendered by the Paying Agent,
and the Issuer and the Guarantor promise to pay such compensation and to reimburse the
Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees
and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon
receipt of such invoices as the Issuer and the Guarantor shall reasonably require. The
Issuer and the Guarantor agree to indemnify the Paying Agent for, and to hold it harmless
against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses (including the costs and
expenses of defending against any claim of liability) incurred by the Paying Agent that
arises out of or in connection with its acting as Paying Agent hereunder, except such as
may result from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any
of its agents or employees. The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer and the Guarantor for, or in respect of, any
actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying
Agent in reliance upon (1) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon
obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or the Guarantor or (2) written
instructions from the Issuer and the Guarantor. The
12
provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Supplemental
Indenture.
(ii) In acting under the Indenture and in connection with the Designated Securities,
the Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and the Guarantor and does not
assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the
Holders of the Designated Securities.
(iii) The Paying Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in
respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance
upon the terms of the Designated Securities, any notice, direction, certificate,
affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it
to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.
(iv) The Paying Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are herein
specifically set forth and any duties necessarily incidental thereto, and no implied
duties or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Paying Agent.
(v) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice,
request, direction or other communication from the Issuer or the Guarantor made or given
by it under any provision of the Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by any proper
officer or an authorized person of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be.
(vi) The Paying Agent may, upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer and
the Guarantor, perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys, and the Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.
(vii) Under no circumstances will any party to this Supplemental Indenture be liable
to any other party to this Supplemental Indenture for any special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage (including, but not limited to, the loss of business,
goodwill, opportunity or profit) whether or not foreseeable and even if advised of the
possibility of such loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for loss or damage
is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary
obligation or otherwise.
(d) (i) The Paying Agent may at any time resign as Paying Agent by giving written notice to
the Issuer and the Guarantor of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its
desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier
than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer and the Guarantor, unless the Issuer
and the
13
Guarantor agree in writing to accept less notice. The Paying Agent may be removed (with or
without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of
the Issuer and the Guarantor by any proper officer or an authorized person thereof and specifying
such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective, subject to (if such Paying Agent
is not the Trustee) the written consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the date of the appointment by
the Issuer and the Guarantor, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Paying Agent. If within 60
days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Paying Agent has not been
appointed, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Paying Agent. A successor Paying Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer and the Guarantor by an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and the Guarantor, as the case may be, by any
proper officer or an authorized person thereof and the successor Paying Agent. Upon the appointment
of a successor Paying Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Paying Agent so
superseded shall cease to be such Paying Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the
Paying Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer and the Guarantor of its compensation,
if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder.
(ii) Any successor Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its
predecessor and to the Issuer and the Guarantor an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon such successor Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts,
immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally
named as such Paying Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges
and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and
such successor Paying Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records
maintained by such predecessor Paying Agent.
(iii) Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which
the Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Paying Agent, or all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and provided that it shall have an established place of
business in The City of New York, be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or sale shall
forthwith be given to the Issuer and the Guarantor within 30 days of such merger,
conversion, consolidation or sale.
14
(iv) Any notice required to be given by the Paying Agent to any other person
hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 1.5 of the Original Indenture. Any
notice required to be given to the Paying Agent shall be delivered in person, sent by
letter or communicated by telephone (subject, in the case of communication by telephone,
to confirmation dispatched within twenty-four hours by letter), to the following addresses
(or to any other address of which the Paying Agent shall have notified the others in
writing as herein provided): The Bank of New York, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0X, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx 00000, Attention: Global Corporate Trust. Any notice hereunder given by telephone or
letter shall be deemed to be received when in the ordinary course of transmission or post,
as the case may be, it would be received.
Section 2.07. Place of Payment. The place or places where, subject to the provisions of
Section 10.2 of the Original Indenture, the principal of, and any premium and interest on, and any
Additional Amounts in respect of, the Designated Securities shall be payable, Security Certificates
representing the Designated Securities may be surrendered for exchange or conversion of the
Designated Securities represented thereby and notices and demands to or upon the Issuer or the
Guarantor in respect of the Designated Securities and this Indenture may be served shall be the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
Section 2.08. Denominations. The Designated Securities may be issued in denominations of
$1,000.
Section 2.09. Listing. From and including the issue date of the Designated Securities to
and including the first Interest Payment Date in respect of the Designated Securities, the Issuer
will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain or maintain, as applicable, a listing of the
Designated Securities on the New York Stock Exchange or another organized market in an OECD
country.
Section 2.10. Security Certificates.
(a) The Designated Securities shall initially be represented by one or more Global
Certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which shall be deposited with a custodian for
the Depositary and the Designated Securities represented thereby will be registered in the name of
a nominee of the Depositary, for the accounts of participants in the Depositary.
(b) Designated Securities represented by a Global Certificate may be transferred, in whole and
not in part, only: (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (ii) by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or (iii) by the Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
(c) Beneficial interests in any Designated Securities represented by a Global Certificate will
be exchangeable for Designated Securities represented by
15
Definitive Certificates only if: (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling
or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer
within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary, (ii) the Issuer notifies the
Trustee in writing that it has reasonably elected to cause the issuance of Designated Securities
represented by Definitive Certificates or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an
Event of Default with respect to the Designated Securities and the Designated Securities will be
accelerated in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture.
(d) Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) of (c) above,
Designated Securities represented by Definitive Certificates shall be (i) delivered by the Trustee
in exchange for beneficial interest in Designated Securities represented by Global Certificates and
(ii) registered in such names, and issued in such authorized denominations, as shall be requested
by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with its customary procedures.
Section 2.11. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The provisions of Sections 4.3 and 10.8
of the Original Indenture will not apply to the Designated Securities.
Section 2.12. Additional Amounts. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately following
sentence, the provisions of Section 10.4 of the Original Indenture will apply to the Designated
Securities. In the event of an early redemption of the Designated Securities for the reasons set
forth in Section 11.8(b) of the Original Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may
be, may be required to withhold tax and will pay interest in respect of the principal amount of the
Designated Securities redeemed net of the withholding tax applicable to such payments. If this were
to occur, Beneficial Owners would have to either follow the “Quick Refund Procedures” set forth in
Article II of Annex A or Article II of Annex B, as applicable, to the Letter of Appointment or
follow the “Direct Refunds from Spanish Tax Authorities Procedures” set forth in Annex C to the
Letter of Appointment.
Section 2.13. Redemption. (a) The provisions of Article 11 (other than Section 11.8(b)
thereof) of the Original Indenture will apply to the Designated Securities. The “Redemption Price”
means: (A) with respect to any Designated Securities to be redeemed other than pursuant to Section
11.8 of the Original Indenture, an amount equal to the greater of: (x) 100% of the principal amount
of such Designated Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but
excluding, the Redemption Date (as defined below) of such Designated Securities; and (y) as
determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued thereon
to the Redemption Date and assuming that LIBOR through the Stated Maturity would remain constant as
of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date
16
of the Designated Securities being redeemed on a bond-equivalent yield basis (using the same
interest rate convention as that used in computing interest on the Designated Securities) at a rate
per annum equal to LIBOR as of the Redemption Date minus 12.5 basis points for the Designated
Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Designated Securities (or any
portion thereof) being redeemed to, but excluding the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities
(or any portion thereof) being redeemed; and (B) with respect to any Designated Securities to be
redeemed pursuant to Section 11.8(a) of the Original Indenture or Section 2.13(b) of this
Supplemental Indenture, an amount equal to their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date. The “Redemption Date” of any
Designated Securities to be redeemed will be any Business Day fixed by the Issuer for redemption of
such Designated Securities and specified in the applicable notice of redemption provided by the
Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Original Indenture; provided, however, that
the Redemption Date of any Designated Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.8(a) of the
Original Indenture shall be an Interest Payment Date.
(b) In addition, if the Designated Securities are not listed on an organized market in an OECD
country no later than the 15 days prior (ending on a day which is no later than a Business Day
immediately preceding the initial Interest Payment Date) to the initial Interest Payment Date, the
Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option and having given no less than 15
days’ notice (ending on a day which is no later than a Business Day immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date) to the Holders of the Designated Securities and upon proper notice as
provided in this Indenture (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all of the outstanding
Designated Securities at the applicable Redemption Price specified in Section 2.13(a)(B) of this
Supplemental Indenture; provided that from and including the issue date of the Designated
Securities to and including such Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain or maintain such listing, as applicable.
Section 2.14. Applicable Procedures and Tax Certification Procedures. The Trustee, Paying
Agent and Calculation Agent shall comply with the Applicable Procedures and Tax Certification
Procedures with respect to any Designated Securities (and any beneficial interest therein).
Section 2.15. Maintenance of Tax Certification Procedures. So long as any principal amount
of the Designated Securities remains outstanding, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall, insofar as it
is practicable, maintain, implement or arrange for the implementation of Tax Certification
Procedures that will facilitate the collection of information concerning the identity and country
of residence of Beneficial Owners so long as such collection is required under Spanish law to allow
payment of interest on the Designated Securities free and clear of Spanish withholding tax.

TELEFÓNICA EMISIONES, S.A.U., a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of
Spain (herein called the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture
referred to hereinafter), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered
assigns, the principal sum of $[•] on February 4, 2013 and, subject to and in accordance with the
Tax Certification Procedures, to pay interest thereon from July 2, 2007, or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, in arrears on February
4, May 4, August 4 and November 4 of each year, commencing August 4, 2007 until Maturity, and at
Maturity.
For the first Interest Period, the interest rate per annum will be equal to One-Month LIBOR
plus 0.33% as determined by the Calculation Agent. Thereafter, the interest rate per annum will be
equal to LIBOR plus 0.33% as determined by the Calculation Agent.
The amount of interest for the Designated Securities (as defined herein) for each day such
Designated Securities are outstanding, which is referred to as the “Daily Interest Amount,” will be
calculated by dividing the applicable interest rate in effect for that day by 360 and multiplying
the result by the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Designated Securities on that day. The
amount of interest to be paid on the Designated Securities for each Interest Period will be
calculated by adding the applicable Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period. If
any Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, other than an Interest
Payment Date that is also the Maturity, that Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the
following day that is a Business Day, except that if such next Business Day is in a different
month, then that Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding day that is a Business
Day. If the Maturity of the Designated Securities is not a Business Day, payment of principal and
interest on the Designated Securities will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business
Day and no interest will accrue for the period from and after the Maturity.
Except as described below for the first Interest Period, on each Interest Payment Date, the
Issuer will pay interest on the Designated Securities for the period commencing on and including
the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately
preceding that Interest Payment Date. The first Interest Period will begin on and include July 2,
2007 and, subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, will end on and include August 3, 2007.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name the Designated
Securities represented hereby (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, which shall be the
10th New York
A-2
Business Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such
Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name the Designated Securities
represented hereby (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee,
notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Designated Securities not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Designated Securities may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
For informational purposes only, without any substantive effect whatsoever and solely in order
to comply with Article 291, letter (d) of the Spanish Corporations Law (Ley de Sociedades
Anónimas), approved by Royal Decree (Real Decreto Legislativo) 1564/1989, of December 22, as
amended, it is hereby noted that the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities was
equivalent to €631,219,367.30, based on the Noon Buying Rate as determined and published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as of June 28, 2007, for the Euro of $1.3466 per €1.00. Amounts
due under the Designated Securities shall not under any circumstances whatsoever be payable in any
currency other than U.S. dollars or such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of
payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
The Bank of New York shall initially act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Calculation Agent with
respect to the Designated Securities.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of the Designated Securities set forth on
the reverse of this Security Certificate, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof, directly or through an Authenticating Agent, by manual signature of an
authorized signatory, the Designated Securities represented by this Security Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF SECURITY CERTIFICATE
This Security Certificate is one of the Security Certificates representing a duly authorized
issue of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Designated Securities”), issued under
an Indenture, dated as of June 20, 2006 (as amended and supplemented the “Original Indenture”),
among the Issuer, Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom
of Spain (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture referred to herein), and The Bank of New York (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A.), a banking association organized and existing under the laws of the state of New York, as
Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any other successor trustee under the
Indenture), as supplemented with respect to the Designated Securities by the Fifth Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of July 2, 2007 among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York, as
Trustee, Paying Agent and Calculation Agent (collectively with the Original Indenture, as
supplemented, the “Indenture”) and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Designated Securities and of the terms upon which
each Security Certificate representing the Designated Securities is, and is to be, authenticated
and delivered.
The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Designated Securities,
create and issue further Securities having the same terms and conditions as the previously issued
Designated Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, the first
payment of interest thereon and/or the issue price), so that such further issue shall be
consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Designated Securities; provided,
however, that, any such further issuance will only be made if either such additional securities are
issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
or any such further issuance is a “qualified reopening” as such term is defined under Treasury
Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3) promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Designated Securities will be subject to redemption, at any time, as a whole or in part,
at the election of the Issuer at a Redemption Price which is equal to the greater of: (x) 100% of
the principal amount of the Designated Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest
to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities to be redeemed; and (y) as
determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued thereon
to the Redemption Date and assuming that LIBOR through the Stated Maturity would remain constant as
of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities being
redeemed on a bond-equivalent yield basis (using the same interest rate convention as that used in
A-5
computing interest on the Designated Securities) at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR as of the
Redemption Date minus 12.5 basis points for the Designated Securities being redeemed, plus accrued
and unpaid interest on such Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed to, but
excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being
redeemed. Any such redemption will be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The Designated Securities may be redeemed upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice
(ending on an Interest Payment Date) given as provided in the Indenture, if (i) as a result of any
change in the laws or regulations of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision thereof or
any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or in the interpretation or
administration of any such laws or regulations which becomes effective on or after the date of
issuance of the Designated Securities, (x) the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, is or
would be required to pay any Additional Amounts (y) the Guarantor is or would be required to deduct
or withhold tax on any payment to the Issuer to enable the Issuer to make any payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities and such payment cannot with reasonable effort by
the Guarantor be structured to avoid such deduction or withholding and (ii) such circumstances are
evidenced by the delivery by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Trustee of a
certificate signed by an authorized officer or director of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, stating that such circumstances prevail and describing the facts leading to such
circumstances, together with an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognized standing to the
effect that such circumstances prevail, at a Redemption Price equal to their principal amount,
together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.
If the Designated Securities are not listed on an organized market in an OECD country no later
than 15 days prior (ending on a day which is no later than a Business Day immediately preceding the
initial Interest Payment Date) to the initial Interest Payment Date on such Designated Securities,
the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option and having given no less than
15 days’ notice (ending on a day which is no later than a Business Day immediately preceding the
initial Interest Payment Date) to the Holders of such Designated Securities and upon proper notice
as provided in the Indenture, which notice shall be irrevocable, redeem all of the outstanding
Designated Securities at their principal amount, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to
but not including the Redemption Date; provided that from and including the issue date of such
Designated Securities to and including such Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain or maintain such listing, as applicable. In the event of an early
redemption of the Designated Securities for the reason set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may be required to withhold tax and will
pay
A-6
interest in respect of the principal amount of the Designated Securities redeemed net of the
withholding tax applicable to such payments. If this were to occur, Beneficial Owners would have to
either follow the “Quick Refund Procedures” set forth in Article II of Annex A or Article II of
Annex B, as applicable, to the Letter of Appointment or follow the “Direct Refunds from Spanish Tax
Authorities Procedures” set forth in Annex C to the Letter of Appointment.
In the event of redemption of the Designated Securities represented by this Security
Certificate in part only, a new Security Certificate representing the unredeemed portion of the
Designated Securities represented hereby will be issued and registered in the name of the Holder of
the Designated Securities represented hereby upon the cancellation hereof.
All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, redemption amount, interest or
otherwise) in respect of the Designated Securities and the Designated Guarantee by the Issuer or
the Guarantor will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account
of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature
imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision thereof or
any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction
of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required by law. In the event that
such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall pay such
Additional Amounts as will result in receipt by the Holders of the Designated Securities of such
amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required;
provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantor will not be required to pay any Additional
Amounts in respect of any Designated Security:
(1) to a Holder of such Designated Security who is liable for such taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Designated Security by reason of it
(or the Beneficial Owner for whose benefit it holds such Designated Security) having some
connection with the Kingdom of Spain other than the mere holding of such Designated
Security (or such beneficial interest);
(2) to a Holder of such Designated Security in respect of whom the Issuer or the
Guarantor does not receive such information (which may include a tax residence
certificate) concerning such Holder’s identity and tax residence (or the identity and tax
