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

The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer and the Guarantor for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying Agent in reliance upon (A) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or the Guarantor or (B) written instructions from the Issuer and the Guarantor.

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

(vii) Under no circumstances will any party to this Supplemental Indenture be liable to any other party to this Supplemental Indenture for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage (including, but not limited to, the loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) whether or not foreseeable and even if advised of the possibility of such

loss or damage and regardless of whether the claim for loss or damage is made in negligence, for breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary obligation or otherwise.

(d) (i) The Paying Agent may at any time resign as Paying Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer and the Guarantor of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer and the Guarantor, unless the Issuer and the Guarantor agree in writing to accept less notice.

Upon the appointment of a successor Paying Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Paying Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Paying Agent hereunder.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.

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.

The “Redemption Price” means: (A) with respect to any Designated Securities to be redeemed other than pursuant to Section 11.8 of the Original Indenture, an amount equal to the greater of: (x) 100% of the principal amount of such Designated Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (as defined below) of such Designated Securities and (y) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities being redeemed on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points for the Designated Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed; and (B) with respect to any Designated Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.8 of the Original Indenture or Section 2.12(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 Fixed Rate 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 45 days prior 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 the 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 2.12(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 2.13. Applicable Procedures and Tax Certification Procedures. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall comply with the Applicable Procedures and Tax Certification Procedures with respect to any Designated Securities (and any beneficial interest therein).

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

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Third Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed on its behalf as of the date first above written.

REVERSE OF SECURITY CERTIFICATE

This Security Certificate is one of the Security Certificates representing a duly authorized issue of Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Designated Securities”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 8, 2009 (as amended and supplemented, the “Original Indenture”), among the Issuer, Telefónica, S.A., a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to herein), and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any other successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented with respect to the Designated Securities by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April [•], 2010, among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee and Paying Agent (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, as supplemented, the “Indenture”) and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Designated Securities and of the terms upon which each Security Certificate representing the Designated Securities is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Designated Securities will be subject to redemption at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Issuer at a Redemption Price which is equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Designated Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities to be redeemed; and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal thereof and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date of such Designated Securities being redeemed on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points for the Designated Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date of the Designated Securities (or any portion thereof) being redeemed. Any such redemption will be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

A-5

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

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

A-6

percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker on the third New York Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

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

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

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

A-7

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 interest in respect of the principal amount of the Designated Securities redeemed net of the withholding tax applicable to such payments. If this were to occur, Beneficial Owners would have to either follow the “Quick Refund Procedures” set forth in Article II of Annex A or Article II of Annex B, as applicable, to the Letter of Appointment or follow the “Direct Refund from Spanish Tax Authorities Procedure” set forth in Annex C to the Letter of Appointment.

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

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

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

(2) to a Holder of such Designated Security in respect of whom the Issuer or the Guarantor does not receive such information

A-8

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

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

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

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

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

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

(8) in the event that the Designated Securities are redeemed pursuant to Section 2.12 (b) of the Third Supplemental Indenture;

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

A-9

Securities who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole Beneficial Owner of that payment, to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interest holder in that limited liability company or a Beneficial Owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had it been the Holder.

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

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

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

As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, if any Event of Default shall occur in relation to the Designated Securities (taking into account any applicable grace period), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Designated Securities may, by written notice

A-10

to the Issuer, at the Corporate Trust Office (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare that the Designated Securities including principal, and all interest then accrued and unpaid on, the Designated Securities shall be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable, at their principal amount together with all interest, if any, accrued and unpaid thereon and Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect thereof without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will expressly waive, unless, prior thereto, all Events of Default in respect of such Designated Securities shall have been cured.

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

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

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

A-11

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith other than as set forth in the Indenture.

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

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

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