This opinion is delivered to you in connection with the issuance by Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U. (the “Company”), a stock corporation with a single shareholder (sociedad anónima unipersonal) organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, of $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.582% Fixed Rate Notes due April 26, 2013 (the “2.582% Fixed Rate Notes”), $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.729% Fixed Rate Notes due April 27, 2015 (the “3.729% Fixed Rate Notes”) and $1,400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.134% Fixed Rate Notes due April 27, 2020 (the “5.134% Fixed Rate Notes” and, together with the 2.582% Fixed Rate Notes and the 3.729% Fixed Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed pursuant to the guarantee (the “Guarantee”) as to payment of principal, interest and premiums, if any, by the Guarantor. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated April 12, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between you, the Guarantor and the Company, you have agreed to purchase or procure purchasers for the Notes to be issued pursuant to the Indenture between the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, dated May 8, 2009, as supplemented by a supplemental fixed rate note indenture dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 2.582% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued, a supplemental fixed rate note indenture dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 3.729% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued and a

A-1

supplemental fixed rate note indenture dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 5.134% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued (the indenture and the supplemental indentures, collectively the “Indentures”).

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, I, or members of my staff upon whom I am relying, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my or their satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as I or they have deemed necessary or appropriate, including the following:

(i)		the Underwriting Agreement;

(ii)		the registration statement registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated May 8, 2009 with file number 333-159062 and the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Registration Statement”);

(vi)		the final Prospectus Supplement dated April 12, 2010 and filed with the SEC on April [•], 2010 relating to the offering of the Notes and the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Prospectus Supplement”);

(vii)		the Guarantee;

(viii)		the Indentures;

(ix)		the global notes dated April 26, 2010 relating to the Notes (the “Global Notes”);

(x)		a copy of the public deed of issuance of the Notes (escritura de emisión) executed on [•], 2010, before the Notary Public of Madrid Mr. [•] (the “Public Deed of Issuance”);

(xi)		a copy of the announcement related to the issuance of the Notes published in the Official Bulletin of the Mercantile Registry (Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil) on [•], 2010.

(xii)		a copy of the Estatutos of the Guarantor;

(xiii)		a copy of the Estatutos of the Company;

(xiv)		a copy of the certificate of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor held on March 25, 2009 in relation to the issue of the Notes and the Guarantees;

A-2

(xv)		a copy of a certificate of the resolutions adopted by the Guarantor as sole shareholder of the Company on May 4, 2009, in relation to the issue of the Notes; and

(xvi)		the Tax Certification Agency Agreement dated as of June 20, 2006 among the Company, the Guarantor, The Bank of New York Mellon and Acupay System LLC, as amended by the Letter of Appointment dated April 26, 2010 between the Company, the Guarantor and Acupay System LLC (the “Acupay Agreement”).

The Underwriting Agreement, the Guarantees, the Acupay Agreement and the Indentures are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Documents”.

The opinions set forth in this letter are based upon the following assumptions:

(i)		the genuineness of all signatures, stamps and seals, the conformity to the originals of all documents supplied to us as certified photostatic or faxed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents;

(ii)		that the Disclosure Package has been filed with the SEC, and the Documents and the Global Notes have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each the of other parties thereto (other than the Guarantor and the Company), in the respective forms examined by us;

(iii)		the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Documents and the Global Notes by each of the parties thereto (other than the Guarantor and the Company) and that the performance thereof is within the capacity and powers of each of the parties thereto (other than the Guarantor and the Company);

(iv)		the absence of any other arrangements between any of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement which modify or supersede any of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement; and

(v)		that the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indentures, the Acupay Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations under the law of the State of New York by which they are expressed to be governed.

Based on the foregoing, and such examination of law as I have deemed necessary, I am of the opinion that:

(i)		Each of the Company and the Guarantor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a limited liability corporation (sociedad anónima) under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain with corporate power and all requisite authority under such laws to own, lease and operate its respective properties and conduct its respective businesses as described in the Disclosure Package.

(ii)		The Underwriting Agreement and the Indentures have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor and the Company.

(iii)		The Guarantor owns directly or indirectly all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company.

(iv)		No filing or registration of the Disclosure Package or any other prospectus or circular is necessary under Spanish law in connection with the issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes and the Guarantees.

A-3

(v)		Insofar as matters of Spanish law are concerned, the Disclosure Package has been duly authorized by and on behalf of the Company and the Guarantor.

(vi)		The statements made in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, under the captions “Information on the Company — B. Business Overview”, “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — B. Compensation”, “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — C. Board Practices”, “Financial Information — Legal Proceedings”, “The Offering and Listing — C. Markets”, “Additional Information — B. Memorandum and Articles of Association”, “Additional Information — C. Material Contracts”, “Additional Information — D. Exchange Controls” and “Additional Information — E. Taxation” and the statements made in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Taxation—Spanish Tax Considerations”, to the extent that they relate to matters of Spanish law or taxation, are true and accurate and there are no facts the omission of which from such statements would make the same misleading in any material respect.

(vii)		Other than as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Disclosure Package, there are no actions, suits or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company, the Guarantor or any subsidiary of the Guarantor is a party or of which any asset of the Company, the Guarantor, or any subsidiary of the Guarantor is the subject which could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or to impair the ability of the Company or the Guarantor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and, to the best of my knowledge, no such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or contemplated by any court or governmental, regulatory or stock exchange authority or any other party having jurisdiction over the (i) Company, (ii) the Guarantor or (iii) Telefónica de España, S.A., Telefónica Internacional, S.A., Telefónica Europe Plc (collectively, the “Material Subsidiaries” and each, a “Material Subsidiary”) or any of their respective assets, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(viii)		None of the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Material Subsidiaries is in violation of its articles of association or other governing documents or, to my knowledge, in default in the performance or observance of any obligation contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets are subject, which violation or default would have a Material Adverse Effect on the business or financial condition of the Guarantor, the Company or any of the Material Subsidiaries or impair the Guarantor’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement.

(ix)		Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company, the execution by the Guarantor and the Company of the Documents nor the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated in the Documents and the Notes will conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the by-laws of the Company, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary or the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to such counsel to which the Company, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary is a party or is bound, or any order or regulation known to such counsel to be applicable to the Company, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary (except for such conflicts, breaches or defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the financial condition, earnings or business affairs of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise).

A-4

(x)		The Company, the Guarantor and each of the Material Subsidiaries have all licenses, franchises, permits, authorizations, approvals, and orders from all governmental authorities, that are necessary to own or lease their properties and conduct their respective businesses and that are material to the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (except for such licenses, franchises, permits, subsidiaries, orders and approvals the failure to obtain which will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the business or financial condition of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

(xi)		The statements in the Registration Statements and the Disclosure Package relating to the ranking and the status of the Notes and the Guarantees, to the extent that they relate to matters of Spanish law, are true and accurate and there are no facts the omission of which from such statements would make the same misleading in any material respect.

I am admitted to practice in the Kingdom of Spain only, and I express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. This letter is furnished by me as General Counsel for the Guarantor and is solely for your benefit and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by anyone else without my written consent in each instance.

Very truly yours,

of the underwriters listed in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel for Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U., a sociedad anónima unipersonal organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (the “Company”), and Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the Underwriting Agreement dated April 12, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with you and the other several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”) under which you and such other Underwriters have severally agreed to purchase from the Company $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.582% fixed rate notes due April 26, 2013 (the “2.582% Fixed Rate Notes”) , $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.729% fixed rate notes due April 27, 2015 (the “3.729% Fixed Rate Notes”) and $1,400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.134% fixed rate notes due April 27, 2020 (the “5.134% Fixed Rate Notes” and, together with the 2.582% Fixed Rate Notes and the 3.729% Fixed Rate Notes, the “Notes”) guaranteed by the Guarantor (the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture dated as of May 8, 2009 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a supplemental fixed rate note indenture dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 2.582% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued, a supplemental fixed rate note indenture to be dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 3.729% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued and a supplemental fixed rate note indenture to be dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 5.134% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued (the Base Indenture and the supplemental indentures, collectively, the “Indenture”).

B-1

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

We have also participated in the preparation of the registration statement of the Company and the Guarantor on Form F-3 (File No. 333-159062) (including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”)) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of securities (the “Shelf Securities”) to be issued from time to time by the Company and the Guarantor, and have participated in the preparation of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 12, 2010 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Securities, the free writing prospectuses, each dated April 12, 2010, identified as Numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 on Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement and attached to Schedule III to the Underwriting Agreement and the prospectus supplement dated April 12, 2010, relating to the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The registration statement became effective under the Act and the Base Indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, upon the filing of the registration statement with the Commission on May 8, 2009 pursuant to Rule 462(e). The registration statement at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, including the Incorporated Documents and the information deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”, and the related prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) dated May 8, 2009 relating to the Shelf Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus”. The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available by the Company to the Underwriters to meet requests of purchasers of the Securities under Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus”.

We have assumed the conformity of the documents filed with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), except for required XXXXX formatting changes, to physical copies of the documents submitted for our examination.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Underwriting Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(1)		Assuming that the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor insofar as Spanish law is concerned, the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor.

(2)		Assuming that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor insofar as Spanish law is concerned, the Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor, and the Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability.

(3)		Assuming that the Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company insofar as Spanish law is concerned, the Notes, when the Notes are authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid

B-2

and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture pursuant to which such Notes are to be issued.

(4)		Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Notes by the Company insofar as Spanish law is concerned and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Guarantees endorsed on each Note by the Guarantor insofar as Spanish law is concerned, the Guarantees, when the Notes (and the Guarantees endorsed thereon) are executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability.

(5)		Assuming that the tax certification agency agreement dated as of June 20, 2006, among the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) and Acupay System LLC, as amended by the letter of appointment dated April 26, 2010, among the Company, the Guarantor and Acupay System LLC (the “Tax Certification Agency Agreement”) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor insofar as Spanish law is concerned, the Tax Certification Agency Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability.

(6)		Assuming that the Underwriting Agreement and the Base Indenture have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor insofar as Spanish law is concerned, under the laws of the State of New York relating to personal jurisdiction, each of the Company and the Guarantor has, pursuant to Section 14 of the Standard Provisions attached and incorporated into the Underwriting Agreement (the “Standard Provisions”) and Section 1.15 of the Base Indenture, validly and irrevocably submitted to the extent permitted by law to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or United States federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York (each a “New York Court”) in any action based on or arising under the Notes, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, has validly and irrevocably waived to the extent permitted by law any objection to the venue of a proceeding in any such New York Court, and has validly and irrevocably appointed CT Corporation System as its authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 14 of the Standard Provisions and Section 1.15 of the Base Indenture; and service of process effected on such agent in the manner set forth in Section 14 of the Standard Provisions and Section 1.15 of the Base Indenture will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction on the Company and the Guarantor.

(7)		Neither the Company nor the Guarantor is, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus will be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(8)		The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities

B-3

(collectively, the “Documents”) and the execution and delivery by the Guarantor, and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations under, the Documents will not contravene any provision of the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated thereby, provided that we express no opinion as to federal or state securities laws.

(9)

No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency under the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company or the Guarantor of its obligations under the Documents, except such as may be required under federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws as to which we express no opinion.

We have considered the statements included in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Notes and the Guarantees” insofar as they summarize provisions of the Notes and the Guarantees and the Indenture. In our opinion, such statements fairly summarize these provisions in all material respects. The statements included in the Prospectus under the caption “Taxation-Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, fairly and accurately summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects.

In rendering the opinions in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above, we have assumed that each party to the Documents and the Tax Certification Agency Agreement has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. In addition, we have assumed that (i) the execution, delivery and performance by each party thereto of the Documents and the Tax Certification Agency Agreement (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents of such party, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon such party, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent that we have specifically opined as to such matters with respect to the Company and the Guarantor, and (ii) each Document (other than the Underwriting Agreement) is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company and the Guarantor).

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States, except that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company and the Guarantor, the Documents, the Tax Certification Agency Agreement, or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to the Documents or the Tax Certification Agency Agreement or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate. With respect to all matters of Spanish law, you have received, and we understand that you are relying upon, the opinions of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Malo, each delivered pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

This opinion is rendered solely to you and the other several Underwriters in connection with the Underwriting Agreement. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other

B-4

purpose or relied upon by any other person (including any person acquiring Securities from the several Underwriters) or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel for Telefónica Emisiones, S.A.U., a sociedad anónima unipersonal organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (the “Company”), and Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the Underwriting Agreement dated April 12, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with you and the other several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto under which you and such other Underwriters have severally agreed to purchase from the Company $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.582% fixed rate notes due April 26, 2013 (the “2.582% Fixed Rate Notes”) , $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.729% fixed rate notes due April 27, 2015 (the “3.729% Fixed Rate Notes”) and $1,400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.134% fixed rate notes due April 27, 2020 (the “5.134% Fixed Rate Notes” and, together with the 2.582% Fixed Rate Notes and the 3.729% Fixed Rate Notes, the “Notes”) guaranteed by the Guarantor (the “Guarantee” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture dated as of May 8, 2009 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as supplemented by a supplemental fixed rate note indenture dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 2.582% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued, a supplemental fixed rate note indenture dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 3.729% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued and a supplemental fixed rate note indenture dated as of April 26, 2010, pursuant to which the 5.134% Fixed Rate Notes will be issued.

We have participated in the preparation of the registration statement of the Company and the Guarantor on Form F-3 (File No. 333-159062) (including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”)) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of securities (the “Shelf Securities”) to be issued from time to time by the Company and the Guarantor, and have participated in the

C-1

preparation of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 12, 2010 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) relating to the Securities, the free writing prospectuses, each dated April 12, 2010, identified as Numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement and attached to Schedule III to the Underwriting Agreement and the prospectus supplement dated April 12, 2010, relating to the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The registration statement became effective under the Act and the Base Indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, upon the filing of the registration statement with the Commission on May 8, 2009 pursuant to Rule 462(e). The registration statement at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, including the Incorporated Documents and the information deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”, and the related prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) dated May 8, 2009 relating to the Shelf Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus”. The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, together with the free writing prospectuses identified as Numbers 1, 2 and 3 on Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement and attached to Schedule III to the Underwriting Agreement for the Securities are hereinafter called the “Disclosure Package”. The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available by the Company to the Underwriters to meet requests of purchasers of the Securities under Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus”.

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting or quantitative information. Furthermore, many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of our opinion separately delivered to you today in respect of certain matters under the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America. As a result, we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and we have not ourselves checked the accuracy, completeness or fairness of, or otherwise verified, the information furnished in such documents (except to the extent expressly set forth in our opinion letter separately delivered to you today as to statements included in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Notes and the Guarantees” and “Taxation—Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”). However, in the course of our acting as counsel to the Company and the Guarantor in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, we have generally reviewed and discussed with your representatives and your counsel and with certain officers and employees of, Spanish counsel for, and independent public accountants for, the Company and the Guarantor the information furnished, whether or not subject to our check and verification. We have also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate records and documents, letters from counsel and accountants and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantor and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

On the basis of the information gained in the course of the performance of the services rendered above, but without independent check or verification except as stated above:

C-2

(i)		the Registration Statement and the Prospectus appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and

(ii)		nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that, insofar as relevant to the offering of the Securities:

	(a)		on the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the Registration Statement contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

	(b)		at 7:00p.m., New York time on April 12, 2010, the Disclosure Package contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

(7)		That all the documents that should have been filed with the Mercantile Registry of Madrid by the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, have been filed at the date of our search and that a search in respect of matters which are stated therein since the date of our search would not reveal any circumstances or the filing of documents which would affect the conclusions reached herein and that the content of the

(10)		That the Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of the state of New York, and that insofar as any obligation under the Documents, the F-3 and the Prospectus Supplement is to be performed in, or is otherwise subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction other than Spain, will not be illegal or ineffective by virtue of any law of, or contrary to public policy in, that jurisdiction.

(11)		That there are no and there will be no matters or events of a factual nature not disclosed to us which would affect the conclusions contained herein.

D-4

(17)

That the Notes will be admitted to listing on an organized secondary market in an OECD country.

As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed below, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established by us, examined and relied upon certificates of officials and other representatives of the Guarantor and the Company.

C. Opinion

We do not represent ourselves to be familiar with the laws of any jurisdiction other than Spain as they stand at present and, therefore, we express no opinion on any question arising under any laws other than the laws of Spain as they stand at present. In giving this opinion we have assumed that such documents listed above, expressed to be governed by the laws of a country other than Spain constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the respective parties thereto under such laws.

Our involvement in the transaction described herein has been limited to our role as Spanish counsel to the Company and the Guarantor and, as a consequence thereof, we assume no obligation to advise any other party to this transaction and, furthermore, we assume no obligation to advise either you or any other party of changes of law or facts that could occur after the date of the opinion, even though the change may affect the legal analysis or conclusions given in this opinion.

Legal concepts are expressed in the documents in English terms and may not be identical or equivalent to those that exist under the laws of Spain. Therefore, this opinion may only be relied upon the express condition that the interpretation arising of this opinion is governed by Spanish law in a proceeding brought before a Spanish court.

None of the Civil Code, the Commercial Code, any Spanish regulation or Spanish case law specifically regulate, address or provide information with respect to a transaction where a Spanish sociedad anónima carries out an issuance of debt instruments in the United States registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and pursuant to an indenture qualified under the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Thus, the opinions included in Section IV below are based on the existing opinions of scholars that have addressed such issues and on our interpretation of Spanish law. In addition, the Public Deed of Issuance has been registered with the Madrid Mercantile Registry and pursuant to Article 7 of the Mercantile Registry Regulations (Reglamento del Registro Mercantil) there is a presumption of validity of the content of the Mercantile Registry.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the further exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:

(1)		Valid existence

		Each of the Company and the Guarantor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a sociedad anónima under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain.

(2)		Corporate power and corporate action

		Each of the Company and the Guarantor has corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business.

(3)		Valid execution of agreements

D-5

		Each of the Company and the Guarantor has duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the Documents to which it is a party.

(4)		Choice of law

		The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of the Documents is valid and shall be recognized and enforced by the Spanish courts, subject to the qualification referred to in paragraph D.(v) below. The effectiveness of this choice is subject to the laws of the State of New York being evidenced to the Spanish courts pursuant to Article 281 of the Civil Procedural Law.

(5)		Authorizations and consents

		Save for (A) obtaining from the Bank of Spain the números de operación financiera (N.O.F.s), which have been obtained and (B) the registration of the Public Deed of Issuance with the Mercantile Registry of Madrid and (C) the publication of the announcement related to the issue of the Notes in the Official Gazette of the Mercantile Registry, which have taken place, no consent, approval, authorization, order, regulation, qualification or clearance of or with any court or governmental agency or regulatory body in Spain having jurisdiction over the Company or the Guarantor and its subsidiaries or any of their properties or of any stock exchange authorities in Spain is required for (i) the valid authorization, execution and delivery of the Documents by each of the Company and the Guarantor, (ii) the issuance and delivery of the Notes or the sale of the Notes or to make interest and all other payments (including on maturity or early redemption) in United States dollars on the Notes, or (iii) for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on the part of the Company or the Guarantor. This notwithstanding, once the Notes have been paid in full, this circumstance must be registered at the Mercantile Registry of the place where the Company is domiciled.

(6)		Absence of conflicts

		Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company, the execution by each of the Guarantor and the Company of the Documents to which it is a party nor the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated in the Documents will conflict with, result in breach of, or constitute a default under the by-laws of the Guarantor or the Company, or any Spanish order or regulation known to us to be applicable to the Guarantor or the Company.

(7)		Applicable Spanish tax law

		The tax regime set forth in Additional Provision Two of Law 13/1985 of May 25 on Investment Ratios, Own Funds and Information Obligations of Financial Intermediaries (Ley 13/1985, de 00 xx xxxx, xx xxxxxxxxxxxx xx inversión, recursos propios y obligaciones de información de los intermediarios financieros), as amended by Law 19/2003 of July 4 on Foreign Capital Transfers and Financial Transactions and on Certain Measures to Prevent Money Laundering (Ley 19/2003, de 4 de Xxxxx, sobre régimen jurídico de los movimientos de capitales y de las transacciones económicas con el exterior y sobre determinadas medidas de prevención del blanqueo de capitales), Law 23/2005 of November 18 on Certain Tax Measures to Promote the Productivity (Ley 23/2005, de 18 de noviembre, de reformas en materia tributaria para el impulso a la productividad) and Law 4/2008 of December 23 that abolishes the Net Wealth Tax, generalizes the VAT monthly refund system and introduces other tax measures (Ley 4/2008, de 23 de diciembre, por la que se suprime el gravamen del Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio, se generaliza el sistema de devolución

D-6

mensual en el Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido, y se introducen otras modificaciones en la normativa tributaria) (“Law 13/1985”), will apply to the Notes.

		Law 13/1985 establishes rules governing the issuance of preference shares and other debt instruments by Spanish financial entities and Spanish non-financial listed entities, whether directly or through a group subsidiary incorporated either in Spain or in a European Union Member State (other than tax xxxxxx as defined in Royal Decree 1080/1991 of July 5, 1991, as amended).

(8)		Tax regime of payments made in respect of the Notes under Law 13/1985

		Under Law 13/1985, any payments in respect of the Notes made by the Company to a non-Spanish tax resident beneficial owner, who does not operate with respect to the Notes through a permanent establishment in Spain, shall not be subject to taxation in Spain pursuant to Royal Legislative Decree 5/2004 of March 5, promulgating the consolidated text of the Non-Resident Income Tax Law (Real Decreto Legislativo 5/2004, de 5 de Marzo, por el que se aprueba el Texto Refundido de xx Xxx del Impuesto sobre la Renta de no Residentes), and no withholding tax shall be required on such payments, except in the case of payments made to non-Spanish tax resident beneficial owners who fail to comply with certain tax residency certification procedures, which will receive such payment subject to Spanish withholding tax, currently at the rate of 19%.

(9)		Tax regime of payments made in respect of the Notes if Law 13/1985 does not apply

		If the Notes are not listed on an organized secondary market in an OECD country on any Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement), Law 13/1985 will not apply to the Notes. In such case, any payments in respect of the Notes made by the Company to non-Spanish tax resident beneficial owners, who do not operate with respect to the Notes through a permanent establishment in Spain, will be subject to Spanish withholding tax at the current rate of 19%, except in the case of payments made to non-Spanish tax resident beneficial owners who are (A) resident in a European Union Member State other than Spain, or a permanent establishment located in a European Union Member State of residents of other European Union Member States, provided that such beneficial owners (i) do not operate with respect to the Notes through a permanent establishment in Spain, and (ii) are not resident or nationals of, are not located in, nor obtain the income through, a tax haven territory (as defined in Royal Decree 1080/1991 of July 5, 1991, as amended); or (B) resident for tax purposes in a country which has entered into a convention for the avoidance of double taxation with Spain which provides for an exemption from Spanish tax or a reduced withholding tax rate with respect to interest payable to any beneficial owner of the Notes, and provided further that said beneficial owners deliver evidence of their tax residence in accordance with the Spanish tax law.

(10)		Tax regime of payments made under the Guarantee

		Although no clear precedent, statement of law or regulation exists in relation hereto, in our opinion all payments made by the Guarantor to a non-Spanish tax resident beneficial owner under the Guarantee may be characterized as an indemnity and made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax.

D-7

		However, in the event that the Spanish Tax Authorities were to take the view that the Guarantor had validly, legally and effectively assumed all the obligations of the Company under the Notes by way of subrogation, payments of interest in respect of the Guarantee would fall under the scope of Law 13/1985 and, therefore, the tax treatment applicable to such income will be that described in paragraph 8 above or, in the event that the Notes are not listed on an organized secondary market in an OECD country on any Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement), and consequently Law 13/1985 does not apply to the Notes such payments will be subject to the tax treatment described in paragraph 9 above.

(11)		Tax information reporting requirements

		According to Law 13/1985, the issuance of the Notes by the Company will be subject to certain reporting requirements (which includes disclosure of the identities of the beneficial owners of the Notes and the activities performed by the Company). These disclosure obligations have been developed by Royal Decree 1065/2007 of July 27 enacting the General Regulations on the Actions and Proceeding Relating to Tax Management and Tax Audit and on Development of the Common Rules of the Procedures to Apply Taxes (Real Decreto 1065/2007, de 27 de xxxxx, por el que se aprueba el Reglamento General de las actuaciones y los procedimientos de gestión e inspección tributaria y de desarrollo de las normas comunes de los procedimientos de aplicación de los tributos).

		Notwithstanding the above, Law 4/2008 of December 23 modified, effective as from 26 December 2008, section 3 of the Additional Provision Two of Law 13/1985, which requires Spanish issuers and guarantors to identify beneficial owners of certain preferred shares and other debt instruments issued under Law 13/1985.

		According to the new wording of such section 3, the information obligations will be limited to those residents for tax purposes in Spain, whether natural or legal persons, as well as to non-Spanish tax residents acting through a permanent establishment in Spain. It also establishes that the submission of such information will be made in the form to be further developed in accordance with future regulations.

		In this context, the Spanish General Tax Directorate (GTD) issued two binding rulings dated January 20, 2009 (no. V0077/09 and V0078/09) upon the request of the Spanish Bank and Savings Bank Associations, where the GTD points out that “until new regulations are approved to develop the procedures that will have to be utilised under the new legal framework established by Law 4/2008, the procedures established (...) in article 44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007 of 27 July on securities issued under the second additional provision of Law 13/1985 of 25 May will still apply”.

		As of the date of issuance of this opinion, the regulations that will develop section 3 of the Additional Provision Two of Law 13/1985, as amended by Law 4/2008 of December 23, are still pending to be approved.

		Therefore, pursuant to the content of the above referred binding rulings, Spanish issuers and guarantors of preferred shares and debt instruments governed by Law 13/1985, such as the Notes, must continue applying the procedures established in Royal Decree 1065/2007 until the Spanish government passes regulations developing the new legal framework.

		The Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon have agreed certain procedures with the relevant clearing systems (i.e. The Depository Trust Company

D-8

(“DTC”) and Euroclear) and with Acupay (as described under heading “Taxation — Spanish Tax Considerations — Evidencing of Beneficial Owner Residency in Connection with Interest Payments” of the Prospectus Supplement, and Annexes A, B and C to the Prospectus Supplement) which, in our opinion, comply with the reporting requirements set forth by Law 13/1985, as developed by Royal Decree 1065/2007.

(12)		Stamp duty and other transfer taxes

		No stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties are payable by or on behalf of the Underwriters to the Kingdom of Spain or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with the sale of the Notes to the Underwriters in the manner contemplated hereby, or the resale and delivery of such Notes by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus Supplement.

(13)		Spanish Net Wealth Tax

		Effective from January 1, 2008, Spanish Law 4/2008 of December 23 grants individual taxpayers, whether or not such individuals are considered residents in Spain for tax purposes, a tax allowance equivalent to 100% of the Net Wealth Tax due, and eliminates the obligation to file any tax form with the Spanish tax authorities in connection with such tax.

		Therefore, Notes held by an individual not resident in Spain for tax purposes will not be subject to Net Wealth Tax in Spain.

(14)		Spanish Inheritance and Gift Tax

		Irrespective of the tax residence of a holder of Notes at the time of death or gift, the transfer of the Notes as a result thereof will not be subject to Inheritance and Gift Tax in Spain provided that the Notes are not located in Spain and the rights attaching to such Notes are not exercisable within the Spanish territory nor the heir or the beneficiary, as the case may be, is resident in Spain for tax purposes. Any holder of Notes will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in Spain by reason only of holding such Notes.

(15)		Choice of foreign courts

		The Spanish courts will determine the validity of the submission to exclusive jurisdiction contained in clause 14 of the Standard Provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and clause 1.15 of the Indenture, in accordance with the laws of Spain although such agreements are subject to the laws of the State of New York. In view of that, the submission contained in clause 14 of the Standard Provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and clause 1.15 of the Indenture to any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York as the dispute resolution proceeding thereunder is valid and shall be recognized and enforced by the Spanish courts in any action or proceedings brought in relation thereto before them, provided that said submission is formally alleged in accordance with the procedural laws of Spain.

(16)		Execution of foreign judgments

		A judgment duly rendered by the courts of New York, pursuant to a legal action instituted before such courts in connection with the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Supplemental Indentures would be enforceable in the competent

D-9

courts of Spain, provided that prior to the time such New York court judgment is introduced into a Spanish court for enforcement there is no material contradiction or incompatibility with a judgment rendered or judicial proceedings outstanding in Spain, in accordance with Article 523.2 and the Derogation Provision of the current Civil Procedural Law and subject to the former Civil Procedural Law of 1881, the substantive provisions of which are found in Articles 951 to 958, both inclusive. Such provisions and the case law set forth that any final judgment rendered outside Spain may be enforced in Spain in three different situations: (i) in the cases and in accordance with the provisions of any applicable treaty; (ii) in the absence of any such treaty, in case it is alleged and evidenced that the jurisdiction where the foreign judgment was given recognizes Spanish judgments on a reciprocal basis when the requirements established in such foreign jurisdiction for the recognition of Spanish judgments are complied with and provided that some minimal conditions are met (inter alia, that the matter is not subject to Spanish exclusive jurisdiction for certain matters, does not infringe public policy and is not in contradiction with a previous Spanish judgment); and (iii) in the absence of an applicable treaty and when the reciprocity has not been evidenced, in those cases in which the judgment given in the foreign jurisdiction complies with the requirements set forth in article 954 of the Civil Procedural Law of 1881 (which the case law identifies with the minimal conditions referred to above and include the regularity of the proceeding followed by the foreign court and the authenticity of the judgment). Since there is no applicable treaty between Spain and the United States, unless the conditions under (ii) above are met, the conditions referred to in (iii) above will have to be satisfied in order to enforce a judgment of a New York court in Spain.

D. Qualifications to Opinion

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

(1)

Our opinions expressed above are subject to the effects and result of the operations involved in any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (concurso), moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, as well as to any principles of public policy (orden público).

	(i)		Without prejudice to the general qualification set forth in the preceding paragraph, it is worth mentioning that the credit rights will be subordinated by law in the insolvency proceedings if they are held by creditors which are considered “especially related” to the insolvent debtor pursuant to article 92.5 of the Insolvency Law (among others, because the creditor holds an interest in the insolvent debtor or is part of the same group, because the creditor is a director of the insolvent debtor or may be considered a “de facto” director thereof, or because the creditor is the assignee or successor of credit rights previously held by any of the foregoing).

			After the amendment of the Insolvency Law pursuant to Royal Decree-Law 3/2009 of 27 March, it has been clarified that credit rights against the Company arising from the Notes benefiting of the guarantee of the Guarantor will not be classified as subordinated obligations, provided that the holders of the Notes are not especially related persons.

	(ii)		The above references to the insolvency legislation may not be deemed exhaustive, there may be other rules which, in one way or the other, may also have an impact on the transaction analyzed.

D-10

(iii)

The term “enforceable” in this opinion means that the obligations assumed by the relevant party under the relevant documents are of a type that the Spanish courts would generally enforce. However, it does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular, enforcement before the Spanish courts will be subject to the following:

	(a)		a Spanish court may refuse to give effect to any provision of the Documents on the grounds that such provision conflicts with Spanish public policy (orden público).

	(b)		the Spanish courts will apply the law subject to the equitable principles and may not grant enforcement in the event that they deem a right has not been exercised in good faith or that it has been exercised in abuse of right (abuso de derecho) and will not enforce an obligation in case of fraud;

	(c)		a Spanish court may issue an award of damages where specific performance is deemed impracticable;

	(d)		the validity and performance of contractual obligations may not be left at the discretion of one of the contracting parties as per Article 1,256 of the Civil Code;

	(e)		a Spanish court may not enforce a contractual provision which requires any party thereto to pay any amounts on the grounds that such provision is a penalty within the meaning of Articles 1,152 et seq. of the Civil Code, which the court would consider obviously excessive as a pre-estimate of damages; in this event the court may reduce the amount of the penalty; and

	(f)		the exercise of rights and the enforcement thereof is limited by applicable statute of limitations.

	(iv)		In Spanish Procedural law, the rules of evidence in any judicial proceeding cannot be modified by agreement between the parties and, consequently, any provisions of the Documents in which determinations, certificates, notifications, opinions or the like made by the parties are to be deemed conclusive in the absence of manifest error would not be upheld by a Spanish court. The assessment of any evidence provided in any judicial proceeding will correspond to the Spanish court. The admissibility of evidence or as supporting documentation before a Spanish court or authorities, of any document that is not in the Spanish language may be subject to the provision of an officially sworn translation into Spanish.

Upon issuance, all Designated Securities will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a nominee of the DTC.

5.		Covenants and Agreements of the Company and the Guarantor.

		The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, covenant with each Underwriter of the Designated Securities as follows:

(a)

The Company and the Guarantor will file the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations not later than the Commission’s close of business on the second Business Day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement or, if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 424(b). The Company or the Guarantor will notify the Representative(s), promptly after filing of the Registration Statement, of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus has been filed. The Company or the Guarantor will notify the Representative(s) promptly of any request by the Commission for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information; the Company and the Guarantor will prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the reasonable request of the Representative(s), any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Representative(s), may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Designated Securities; and neither the Company nor the Guarantor will file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or file any document under the Exchange Act before the termination of the offering of the Designated Securities by the Underwriters if such document would be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, which filing is not consented to by the Representative(s) after reasonable notice thereof (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company and the Guarantor will prepare one or more Term Sheets, containing solely a description of the Designated Securities, substantially in the form attached to the applicable Underwriting Agreement and approved by the Representative(s) and file such Term Sheet or Term Sheets pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time period prescribed by such Rule. The Company or the Guarantor will advise the Representative(s) promptly of the issuance by the

			Commission or any State or other regulatory body of any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, suspending or preventing the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or suspending the qualification of the Designated Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the institution of any proceedings for any such purpose, or of receipt by the Company or the Guarantor from the Commission of any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations; and the Company and the Guarantor will use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other such order or any such notice of objection and, if a stop order or other such order is issued or any such notice of objection is received, to obtain as soon as practicable the lifting or withdrawal thereof.

	(b)		Subject to the selling restrictions set forth in Annex A to this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor will use their reasonable best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Designated Securities for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative(s) may reasonably request; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be obligated to file any general consent to service of process, subject itself to taxation or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction.

	(c)		The Company and the Guarantor shall prepare the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in a form approved by the Underwriters, and will promptly furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Term Sheets, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus in such quantities as the Underwriters may from time to time reasonably request, and will not file or publish any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, except in accordance with Section 1(f) above, and unless they have furnished a copy to the Underwriters for their review and, except as required by law, will not publish any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Underwriters reasonably object. If at any time prior to completion of the distribution of the Designated Securities (as determined by the Underwriters) any event occurs as a result of which the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, each as then amended or supplemented, would contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company and the Guarantor will promptly so notify the Underwriters. If so notified, the Underwriters shall forthwith suspend any solicitation of offers to purchase Designated Securities and shall cease using the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. If the Company and the Guarantor should decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, to correct such statement or omission, the Company and the Guarantor, upon the completion thereof, will furnish to the Underwriters a reasonable number of copies of such amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus.

	(d)		The Company and the Guarantor shall furnish to the Underwriters as soon as practicable and thereafter from time to time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Designated Securities (as determined by the Underwriters) as many copies of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the

			Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

8.		Indemnification.

(a)

The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act as follows: (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred and reasonably and properly documented, arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations), the Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (ii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriters), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) above; provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of (A) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company or the Guarantor by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus) or (B) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any

			Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to part of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus) delivered to any person if such untrue statement or omission was corrected in any subsequent Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, if copies thereof were delivered to such Underwriter sufficiently in advance of the Applicable Time to enable such Underwriter to deliver such copies to such person and a copy thereof was not furnished to such person prior to the confirmation of the sale of Designated Securities to such person.

	(b)		Each Underwriter severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 8(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus), in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company or the Guarantor by the Underwriters expressly for use in such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Disclosure Package or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus).

	(c)		Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through forfeiture or impairment of procedural or substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent the indemnified party and their respective controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party under this Section 8 if the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action, if in the written opinion of counsel to either the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due

to actual or likely conflicts of interest between them or the indemnifying party shall have failed to employ counsel within a reasonable period of time, and in that event the fees and expenses of one firm of separate counsel (in addition to the fees and expenses of one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. The indemnified party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent.

9.		Contribution.

		If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of Section 8, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) of Section 8, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Designated Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this Section 9. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Designated Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the

		Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 9 to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

10.		Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

		The representations, warranties, indemnities, agreements and other statements of the Underwriters, the Company and the Guarantor and their officers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantor or the Underwriters or controlling person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities.

11.		Termination of Agreement.

(a)

The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company or the Guarantor, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date:

	(i)		if there has been, since the Applicable Time, except as otherwise set forth or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any change, or any development (other than as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus), in the financial condition, earnings or prospects of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, which, in the judgment of the Representative(s), is material and adverse in the context of the issuance, offer and sale of the Designated Securities and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of and payment for the Designated Securities; or

	(ii)		if, since the Applicable Time there has occurred:

	(A)		any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the over-the counter market or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required by such exchange or by order of the Commission, or any other Governmental Authority, or

	(B)		any material suspension of trading of any equity securities issued by the Guarantor by the Commission, the Comisión Nacional del Xxxxxxx de Valores, the Spanish Stock Exchanges or the New York Stock Exchange, or

	(C)		any banking moratorium declared by Spanish, United States Federal or New York State authorities, or

	(D)		any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States or with respect to DTC, or

	(E)		any change or any development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions or exchange controls which, in the

			judgment of the Representative(s), makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Designated Securities, or

	(F)		any attack on, or outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by the United States Congress or any other substantial calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Representative(s), the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Designated Securities.

	(b)		If the Underwriters propose to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 11(a)(i), 11(a)(ii)(E) or 11(a)(ii)(F), the Representative(s) shall enter into consultations with the Guarantor by telephone. Such consultation shall take place among one senior representative of each of the Representative(s) and the Guarantor. The senior representative(s) of the Representative(s) will explain in depth the basis of their determination and the senior representative of the Guarantor will relay the views of the Company and the Guarantor to the Representative(s). If no such consultation takes place within a time period as reasonably determined by the Representative(s) to be appropriate, despite the best efforts of the Representative(s) to reach the senior representative of the Guarantor, or if no consensus can be reached during that period, the Representative(s) may (unanimously, if there is more than one Representative), in the name of the Underwriters, effect the termination of the obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement.

	(c)		If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except to the extent provided in Section 7. Notwithstanding any such termination, the provisions of Sections 8, 9, 10, 14 and 16 shall remain in effect.

12.		Notices.

		All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered, mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to the address of the Representative(s) described in the applicable Underwriting Agreement (with a copy to the General Counsel at the same address).

		by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” shall not include any purchaser, as such purchaser, from the Underwriters of the Designated Securities.

The Company and the Guarantor will each irrevocably appoint CT Corporation System, New York, New York, as its Authorized Agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York and each party to this Agreement expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto.

Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company or the Guarantor.

15.		Default by one or more of the underwriters.

(a)

If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligation to purchase the Designated Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement (the “Defaulted Designated Securities”), the Representative(s) may in its or their discretion arrange for itself or themselves or another party or other parties satisfactory to the Company to purchase such Defaulted Designated Securities on the terms contained in this Agreement. If within 36 hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representative(s) does not or do not arrange for the purchase of such Defaulted Designated Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representative(s) to purchase such Defaulted Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed period, the Representative(s) notify the Company that it or they have so arranged for the purchase of such Defaulted Designated Securities, or the Company notifies the Representative(s) that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Defaulted Designated Securities, the Representative(s) or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for such Designated Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company and the Guarantor agree to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representative(s) may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as

			used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement.

	(b)		If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Defaulted Designated Securities by the Representative(s) and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Defaulted Designated Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement) of the Defaulted Designated Securities for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

	(c)		If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Defaulted Designated Securities by the Representative(s) and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Designated Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities, as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Guarantor, except for the expenses to be borne by the Guarantor as provided in Section 7 hereof, the indemnity agreement in Section 8 hereof and the contribution agreement in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
