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

All Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution or in any such Officer’s Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto pertaining to such series. The terms of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series may provide, without limitation, that such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon written order of persons designated in the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officer’s Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series as are specified in such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture. All Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided by the Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

If the forms of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, or any of the terms thereof, are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company, a copy of the Board Resolution in respect thereof shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 for the authentication and delivery of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

Section 3.02. Denominations. The Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01.

Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any of the representatives of the Company authorized to do so by Board Resolution or by any member of the Board of Directors. The signature of any of these authorized representatives on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities may be manual or facsimile.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, the Company may deliver Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and, if applicable, the Board Resolution specified in the final paragraph of Section 3.01, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. In authenticating such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture in relation to such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

If all the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate at the time of issuance of each Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, but such opinion and certificate, with appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of such series. After any such first delivery, any separate request by the Company that the Trustee authenticate Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions precedent provided for in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities continue to have been complied with.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities if the issue of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities pursuant to this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or otherwise be in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Each Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security is entitled to the benefits of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.13, for all purposes of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefit of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

Section 3.04. Temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities substantially of the tenor of the definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in lieu of which they are issued, which Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced. Temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities may be issued as registered Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in any authorized denomination, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities may determine, all as evidenced by such execution.

If temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause, if so required by the terms of such temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, the temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like aggregate Liquidation Preference of definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the same series of authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions. Until so exchanged, unless otherwise provided therein or in a supplemental indenture relating thereto, the temporary Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights) under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture as definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

(a) Global Securities. This Section 3.05(a) shall apply to Global Securities unless otherwise specified, as contemplated by Section 3.01.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be initially issued and represented by one or more Global Securities in registered form, which shall be authenticated as contemplated by this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

Each Global Security authenticated under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Contingent Convertible Preferred Security for all purposes of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof, each Global Security authenticated under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall be initially registered in the name of the relevant Depositary or its nominee only.

Unless the Global Security is presented by an authorized representative of the Holder to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of a nominee of the Holder or the Holder and any payment is made to such nominee or Holder, any transfer, pledge or other use of the Global Security for value or otherwise shall be wrongful since the registered owner of such Global Security has an interest in such Global Security.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof, any Global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities only as provided in this paragraph. A Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section only (i) if the relevant Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days of such notification, (ii) if, in the event of a winding-up of the Company, the Company fails to make a payment on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities when due and payable or (iii) at any time if the Company at its option and in its sole discretion determines that the Global Securities of a particular series should be exchanged for definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for, unless otherwise specified or contemplated by Section 3.01, definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities bearing Distributions (if any) at the same rate or pursuant to the same formula, having the same date of issuance, the same date or dates from which such Distributions shall accrue, the same Distribution Payment Dates or manner of determination of such Distribution Payment Dates, redemption provisions, if any, specified currency and other terms and of differing denominations aggregating a like amount as the Global Security so exchangeable. Definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be registered in the names of the owners of the beneficial interests in such Global Securities as such names are from time to time provided by the Holder to the Trustee.

Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding paragraph, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, shall be exchangeable for Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities issuable in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Preference and tenor.

No Global Security may be transferred except as a whole by the Holder to a nominee of the Holder or by the Holder or any such nominee to a successor of the Holder or a nominee of such successor. Except as provided above, owners solely of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

In the event that a Global Security is surrendered for redemption in part pursuant to its terms, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed or unexchanged portion of the Liquidation Preference of the Global Security so surrendered.

In the event that a Global Security is surrendered for conversion in part pursuant to its terms, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unconverted portion of the Liquidation Preference of the Global Security so surrendered.

The Agent Members and any beneficial owners shall have no rights under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by a Holder, and such Holder may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Holder or (ii) impair, as between any such Holder or other clearance service and its Agent Members and beneficial holders, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security, including without limitation the granting of proxies or other authorization of participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

In connection with any exchange of interests in a Global Security for definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of another authorized form, as provided in this Section 3.05(a), then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in aggregate Liquidation Preference equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Global Security or the portion to be exchanged, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities without charge (in which case the Company or Trustee may require payment of any taxes or governmental charges arising) and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate Liquidation Preference of definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of authorized denominations as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be exchangeable for Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities issuable in the denominations specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 and registered in such names as the Holder of such Global Security shall direct. If a definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any record date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Distribution Payment Date, Distributions will not be payable on such Distribution Payment Date in respect of such definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, but will be payable (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) on such Distribution Payment Date only to the Person to whom Distributions in respect of such portion of such Global Security are payable.

A Depositary may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(b) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series may only be exchanged for a like aggregate Liquidation Preference of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series of other authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions. Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 11.02 for such purpose, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security or Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the same series which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company shall cause to be kept a register in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar’s principal corporate trust office in New York (the register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and of transfers of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its principal corporate trust office in New York, is hereby appointed “Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and transfers of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities as herein provided.

Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be transferable only on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Register. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series, together with the form of transfer endorsed on it, duly completed and executed at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 11.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the address specified in the form of transfer, within three Business Days, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions, of a like aggregate Liquidation Preference. If only part of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security is transferred, a new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of an aggregate Liquidation Preference equal to the amount not being transferred shall be executed by the Company, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to the transferor, in the name of the transferor, within three Business Days of receiving the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security. The new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security will be delivered to the transferor by uninsured post at the risk of the

transferor to the address of the transferor appearing in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Register. A new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of an aggregate Liquidation Preference equal to the amount being transferred shall be delivered by the Trustee to the transferee, in the name of the transferee, within three Business Days of receiving the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security. The new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security will be delivered to the transferee by uninsured post at the risk of the transferee to the address of the transferee specified in the form of transfer.

All Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, as the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Contingent Convertible Preferred Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge and any other expense (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04 or 10.06 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required (i) if the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of a series are to be redeemed in part, to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of such series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the giving of a notice of redemption of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the giving of such notice, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, or any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security surrendered for redemption, except, where applicable, the unredeemed portion of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities being redeemed in part.

Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. If any mutilated Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (including any Global Security) is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall, in the case of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor a new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of the same series containing identical terms and provisions and of like amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (including any Global Security), and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon the Company’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of, as the case may be, any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, a new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of the same series containing identical terms and provisions and of like amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, pay such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(a) The Company will make any payments of Distributions on any particular series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities on the dates that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01.

(b) The Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series will accrue non-cumulative cash Distributions as may be specified in, or determined in accordance with Section 3.01.

(c) The Company has no obligation to make Distributions with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(d) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, Distributions, if any, on any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities which are payable, and are paid or duly provided for, on any Distribution Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Distributions.

(e) In the case of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities where payment is to be made in U.S. dollars, payment at the Principal Paying Agent’s office outside The City of New York will be made in U.S. dollars by check drawn on or, at the request of the Holder, by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in The City of New York.

(f) In the case of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities where payment is to be made in a Foreign Currency, payment will be made as established pursuant to Section 3.01.

(g) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Contingent Convertible Preferred Security delivered under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall carry the rights to accrued and unpaid Distributions (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09), if any, and to accrue Distributions, which were carried by such other Contingent Convertible Preferred Security.

(a) The Company may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel the payment of any Distribution on any particular series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in whole or in part at any time and for any reason.

(b) Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities will be non-cumulative. Accordingly, if any Distribution (or any part thereof) is not paid in respect of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series as a result of any election of the Company to cancel such Distribution pursuant to this Section 3.08 or the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.09 then the right of the Holders to receive the relevant Distribution (or such part thereof) in respect of the relevant Distribution Period will be extinguished and the Company will have no obligation to pay such Distribution (or such part thereof) accrued for such Distribution Period or to pay any interest thereon, whether or not Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series are paid in respect of any future Distribution Period.

(c) No such election to cancel the payment of any Distribution (or any part thereof) pursuant to this Section 3.08 or non-payment of any Distribution (or any part thereof) as a result of the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.09 will constitute an event of default, an Enforcement Event or the occurrence of any event related to the insolvency of the Company or entitle Holders to take any action to cause such Distribution (or part thereof) to be paid or the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or in any way limit or restrict the Company from making any distribution or equivalent payment in connection with any instrument ranking junior to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series (including, without limitation, any CET1 Capital of the Company or the Group) or in respect of any Parity Security or other Security, except to the extent Applicable Banking Regulations otherwise provide.

(a) Payments of Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series shall be made only out of Distributable Items of the Company.

(b) To the extent that (i) the Company has insufficient Distributable Items to make Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series scheduled for payment in the then current financial year and any interest payments or distributions that have been paid or made or are scheduled or required to be paid or made out of Distributable Items of the Company in the then current financial year, in each case excluding any portion of such payments already accounted for in determining the Distributable Items of the Company, and/or (ii) the Regulator, in accordance with Article 68 of Law 10/2014 and/or Article 16 of the SSM Regulation and/or with Applicable Banking Regulations then in force, requires the Company to cancel the relevant Distribution in whole or in part, then the Company will, without prejudice to the right set forth in Section 3.08 to cancel at its discretion the payment of any such Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series at any time, make partial or, as the case may be, no payment of the relevant Distribution on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

(c) No payments will be made on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series (whether by way of a repayment of the Liquidation Preference, the payment of any Distribution or otherwise) if and to the extent that such payment would cause a breach of any regulatory restriction or prohibition on payments on Additional Tier 1 Instruments pursuant to Applicable Banking Regulations (including, without limitation, any such restriction or prohibition relating to any Maximum Distributable Amount applicable to the Company and/or the Group).

(a) By acquiring Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, Holders (which, for the purposes of this Section 3.10, includes holders of a beneficial interest in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities) acknowledge and agree that:

(i) Distributions are payable solely at the Company’s discretion, and no amount of Distribution shall become or remain due and payable in respect of the relevant Distribution Period to the extent that it has been cancelled or deemed cancelled by the Company pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof and/or as a result of the limitations on payment set forth in Section 3.09; and

(ii) a cancellation or deemed cancellation of any Distribution (in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall not constitute an Enforcement Event or other default under the terms of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or the occurrence of any event related to the insolvency of the Company or entitle Holders to take any action to cause such Distribution to be paid or the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or in any way limit or restrict the Company from making any distribution or equivalent payment in connection with any instrument ranking junior to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series (including, without limitation, any CET1 Capital of the Company or the Group) or in respect of any Parity Security or other Security, except to the extent Applicable Banking Regulations otherwise provide.

(b) Distributions will only be due and payable on a Distribution Payment Date to the extent they are not cancelled or deemed cancelled previously or thereafter in accordance with Section 3.08, Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 6.02 and Article 4. Any Distributions cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) in the circumstances described herein shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall have no rights thereto or to receive any additional Distributions or compensation as a result of such cancellation or deemed cancellation.

Section 3.11. Notice of Distribution Cancellation. If practicable, the Company will provide notice of any cancellation or deemed cancellation of Distributions on any particular series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (in each case, in whole or in part) to the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series through the relevant Depositary (or, if the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are held in definitive form, to the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities directly at their addresses shown on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Register) and to the Trustee directly on or prior to the relevant Distribution Payment Date. Failure to provide such notice will have no impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such cancellation or deemed cancellation of Distributions (and accordingly, such Distributions will not be due and payable), will not constitute an Enforcement Event with respect to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, or give the Holders or beneficial owners of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series any rights as a result of such failure.

Section 3.12. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security is registered as the owner of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security for the purpose of receiving payment of Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, (subject to Section 3.05 and Section 3.07) any Distribution on and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall be reflected on the books and records of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar.

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, any Agent Member or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures. The Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners. The Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any Global

Security for all purposes of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of Liquidation Preference and Distributions and Additional Amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole Holder and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Agent Member or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or shall impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

Each Holder and beneficial owner that acquires its Contingent Convertible Preferred Security in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to the same extent as the Holders and beneficial owners of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities that acquire the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgment and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, including, without limitation, in relation to Distribution cancellation, the Conversion, the Spanish Bail-in Power and the limitations on remedies specified in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security and Section 6.03.

Section 3.13. Cancellation. All Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or Conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, as well as Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder, and all Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by the provisions of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series or pursuant to the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture. The Trustee shall deliver to the Company all cancelled Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities held by the Trustee.

Section 3.14. Computation of Distributions. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 3.15. Cusip Numbers. The Company in issuing any series of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities may use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” and/or “Common Code” and/or other similar numbers (if then generally in use) or any successor to such numbers with respect to such series, and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” and/or “Common Code” and/or other similar numbers or successor numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP”, “ISIN” and/or “Common Code” and/or other similar numbers or successor numbers.

Section 3.16. Additional Parity Securities and Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. (a) The Company may, from time to time, without the consent or sanction of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series: (i) take any action required to issue additional Parity Securities or authorize, create and issue one or more series of Parity Securities ranking equally with the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any such series, as to the participation in the profits and/or assets of the Company, without limit as to the amount; or (ii) take any action required to authorize, create and issue one or more classes or series of shares of the Company or securities mandatorily convertible into Common Shares of the Company ranking junior or senior to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any such series, as to the participation in the profits and/or assets of the Company.

(b) By acquiring a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series, Holders and beneficial owners of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities agree to renounce any rights of seniority or preference that may be conferred upon it (if any) under applicable Spanish law (to the extent permitted under applicable Spanish law) over any holder of such Parity Securities issued by the Company from time to time.

(c) The Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series do not grant the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series pre-emption rights in respect of any possible future issues of Parity Securities or any other securities by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(d) The Company may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, issue additional Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (“Additional Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities”) of one or more of the series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities issued under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture having the same ranking and same Distribution Rate, redemption terms and other terms as the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series except for the price to the public, original Distribution accrual date, issue date and first Distribution Payment Date. Any such Additional Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, together with the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the relevant series, will constitute a single series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and shall be included in the definition of “Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities” in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture where the context so requires.

Section 3.17. Correction of Minor Defects in or Amendment of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. If, after issuance of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (including any Global Security), (i) the Company or the Trustee shall become aware of any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in any term of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security or Global Security, as the case may be, or, (ii) with respect to any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (including any Global Security) issued on or after the date hereof, the Company and the Trustee agree to amend such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security as contemplated by Section 10.01 and subject to Section 10.03, the parties hereto shall provide for the execution, authentication, delivery and dating of one or more replacement Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or Global Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.03 hereto, provided, however, that changes made in such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or Global Securities are not materially adverse to Holders of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

Section 3.18. Payments Subject to Fiscal Laws. All payments in respect of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto (including FATCA, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretation thereof, any intergovernmental agreements with respect thereto, or any law implementing an intergovernmental agreement or any regulations or official interpretations relating thereto), but without prejudice to the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts to the extent required under Section 11.04.

Section 3.19. Undertakings. So long as any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of a series remains Outstanding, the Company shall, unless approved by a majority in aggregate Liquidation Preference of such series:

(a) not make any issue, grant or distribution or take or omit to take any other action if the effect thereof would be that, on Conversion, Common Shares could not, under any applicable law then in effect, be legally issued as fully paid;

(b) if any offer is made to all (or as nearly as may be practicable all) Shareholders (or all (or as nearly as may be practicable all) such Shareholders other than the offeror and/or any associates of the offeror) to acquire all or a majority of the issued Common Shares, or if a scheme is proposed with regard to such acquisition (other than a Newco Scheme), give notice of such offer or scheme to the Holders at the same time as any notice thereof is sent to the Shareholders (or as soon as practicable thereafter) that details concerning such offer or scheme may be obtained from the specified offices of the Paying and Conversion Agent and, where such an offer or scheme has been recommended by the Board of Directors, or where such an offer has become or been declared unconditional in all respects or such scheme has become effective, use all commercially reasonable endeavors to procure that a like offer or scheme is extended to the holders of any Common Shares issued during the period of the offer or scheme arising out of any Conversion and/or to Holders;

(c) in the event of a Newco Scheme, take (or shall procure that there is taken) all necessary action to ensure that such amendments are made to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture immediately after completion of the Scheme of Arrangement as are necessary to ensure that the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities may be converted into or exchanged for ordinary shares in Newco (or depositary or other receipts or certificates representing ordinary shares of Newco) mutatis mutandis in accordance with and subject to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and the ordinary shares of Newco are:

and the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the relevant series (which, for this purpose, includes holders of a beneficial interest in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series) irrevocably authorize the Company to make such amendments to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture without the need for any further authorization from the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series;

(d) issue, allot and deliver Common Shares upon Conversion subject to and as provided in Article 4 below;

(e) use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that its issued and outstanding Common Shares and any Common Shares issued upon Conversion will be admitted to listing and trading on the Relevant Stock Exchange or will be listed and/or admitted to trading on another Recognized Stock Exchange;

(f) at all times keep in force the relevant resolutions needed for issue, free from pre-emptive rights, sufficient authorized but unissued Common Shares to enable Conversion of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, and all rights of subscription and exchange for Common Shares, to be satisfied in full; and

(g) where the provisions of Article 4 require or provide for a determination by an Independent Financial Adviser or a role to be performed by a Conversion Shares Depository or a Paying and Conversion Agent, the Company shall use all reasonable endeavors promptly to appoint such persons for such purposes.

(a) If the Trigger Event occurs at any time on or after the issue date of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, then the Company will:

(i) not pay any Distribution on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, including any accrued and unpaid Distributions, which shall be deemed to be cancelled by the Company in accordance with Section 3.08 and/or Section 3.09; and

(ii) irrevocably and mandatorily (and without any requirement for the consent or approval of the Holders or beneficial owners of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series) convert all the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series into Common Shares (the “Trigger Conversion”) to be delivered on the relevant Conversion Settlement Date. If the Trigger Event occurs, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series will be converted in whole and not in part.

(b) For the purposes of determining whether the Trigger Event has occurred, the Company will (i) calculate the CET1 ratio based on information (whether or not published) available to management of the Company, including information internally reported within the Company pursuant to its procedures for ensuring effective ongoing monitoring of the capital ratios of the Company and the Group and (ii) calculate and publish the CET1 ratio on at least a quarterly basis. The Company’s calculation shall be binding on the Trustee and the Holders and beneficial owners of the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(c) A Trigger Event will not constitute an event of default, an Enforcement Event or the occurrence of any event related to the insolvency of the Company or entitle Holders to take any action to cause the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

(a) Subject as provided in Section 12.04(g), if a Capital Reduction occurs at any time on or after the issue date of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, then the Company will, subject as provided in Section 4.02(b), irrevocably and mandatorily (and without any requirement for the consent or approval of the Holders or beneficial owners of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series) convert all the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series into Common Shares (a “Capital Reduction Conversion”) to be delivered on the relevant Conversion Settlement Date and on such Conversion Settlement Date pay to the Holders, as applicable, where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current Distribution Period up to (but excluding) such Conversion Settlement Date.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.02(a), if a Capital Reduction occurs at any time on or after the issue date of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, each Holder of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series will have the right to elect that all (but not part) ofits Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall not be converted in accordance with Section 4.02(a), in which case all Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such Holder shall remain outstanding and no payment of any accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be made in respect of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to that Holder on the relevant Conversion Settlement Date pursuant to Section 4.02(a) (without prejudice to any payment of such Distributions or any other Distributions that may accrue in respect of those Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities pursuant to Section 3.01). To exercise such right, a Holder must complete, sign and deposit at the specified office of any Paying and Conversion Agent a duly completed and signed notice of election (an “Election Notice”), in the form then obtainable from the specified office of such Paying and Conversion Agent on or before the tenth Business Day immediately following the Capital Reduction Notice Date (the period from (and including) the Capital Reduction Notice Date to (and including) such tenth Business Day, the “Election Period”). In the case of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities represented by a Global Security held by or on behalf of a Clearing System, an Election Notice may be delivered within the Election Period by the Holder giving notice to the Principal Paying Agent of such election in accordance with the standard procedures of the relevant Clearing System (which may include notice being given on such Holder’s instruction by the relevant Clearing System to the Principal Paying Agent by electronic means) in a form acceptable to such Clearing System from time to time.

An Election Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Paying and Conversion Agent shall inform the Principal Paying Agent within two Business Days of the end of such Election Period of the Election Notices received during the Election Period and the Principal Paying Agent shall notify the Company of the details of the relevant Holders that have duly submitted an Election Notice within the Election Period (including the aggregate Liquidation Preference of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities held by such Holders) by no later than the immediately following Business Day.

Any relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which a duly completed and signed Election Notice is not received during the Election Period in accordance with this Section 4.02 shall be converted into Common Shares.

Any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities not converted upon a Capital Reduction as a result of Holders delivering a duly completed and signed Election Notice during the Election Period in accordance with Section 4.02 shall remain Outstanding and, notwithstanding any of the above, may be the subject of Conversion on the occurrence of a Trigger Event pursuant to Section 4.01.

(c) A Capital Reduction will not constitute an event of default, an Enforcement Event or the occurrence of any event related to the insolvency of the Company or entitle Holders to take any action to cause the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

(a) Subject as provided in this Section 4.03(a) with respect to fractions, the number of Common Shares to be issued on Conversion in respect of each Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series to be converted shall be determined by dividing the Liquidation Preference of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security by the relevant Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Conversion Notice Date rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares. Fractions of Common Shares will not be issued on Conversion or pursuant to Section 4.05(d) and no cash payment or other adjustment will be made in lieu thereof. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, if one or more Delivery Notices and the related Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are received by or on behalf of a Paying and Conversion Agent such that the Common Shares to be delivered by or on behalf of the Conversion Shares Depository are to be registered in the same name or delivered to the same Clearing System participant account, the number of such Common Shares to be delivered in respect thereof shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities being so converted and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.

(b) Upon any Trigger Conversion of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, Holders (and beneficial owners) of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall have no claim against the Company in respect of (i) any Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities converted into Common Shares or (ii) any accrued and unpaid Distributions cancelled or otherwise unpaid in respect of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series shall cease to represent any right other than the right to receive Common Shares from or on behalf of the Conversion Shares Depository.

(c) Upon any Capital Reduction Conversion of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, Holders (and beneficial owners) of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, other than Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which such Holders have elected not to convert such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 4.02(b), shall have no claim against the Company in respect of any Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series converted into Common Shares, other than Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which Holders have elected not to convert such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 4.02(b), shall cease to represent any right other than the right to receive Common Shares from or on behalf of the Conversion Shares Depository. Nothing in this Section 4.03(c) shall affect the Company’s obligation upon any Capital Reduction Conversion to pay to the Holders, as applicable, where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09, and except as provided in Section 4.02(b), an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current Distribution Period up to (but excluding) the Conversion Settlement Date.

(d) On or prior to the Conversion Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver to the Conversion Shares Depository such number of Common Shares (subject as provided in Section 4.03(a) with respect to fractions) as is required to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to deliver Common Shares (i) in respect of a Trigger Conversion, of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series outstanding on the Trigger Event Notice Date, and (ii) in respect of a Capital Reduction Conversion, of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series Outstanding on the Capital Reduction Notice Date, other than Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which such Holders have elected not to convert such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 4.02(b).

(e) The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver Common Shares to a Holder of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series on the relevant Conversion Settlement Date shall be satisfied by the delivery of such Common Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository. Receipt of the relevant Common Shares by the Conversion Shares Depository shall discharge the Company’s obligations in respect of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities converted, other than, in the case of a Capital Reduction, as provided under Section 4.02(a) with respect to the payment of accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current Distribution Period up to (but excluding) the Conversion Settlement Date (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) except as provided in Section 4.02(b).

(f) Except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph with respect to a Capital Reduction, if a Conversion Event occurs, Holders shall have recourse to the Company only for the issue and delivery of the relevant Common Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository. After such delivery by the Company of the relevant Common Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository, Holders of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities so converted shall have recourse to the Conversion Shares Depository only for the delivery to them of such Common Shares, in the circumstances described in Section 4.08.

In the case of a Capital Reduction, Holders shall also have recourse to the Company as provided under Section 4.02(a) with respect to the payment of accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current Distribution Period up to (but excluding) the Conversion Settlement Date (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) except as provided in Section 4.02(b).

“Conversion Price” means, in respect of a Conversion Notice Date, if the Common Shares are:

(i) the Reference Market Price of a Common Share (translated into U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Rate, if applicable);

(ii) the Floor Price (translated into U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Rate, if applicable); and

(iii) the nominal value of a Common Share (translated into U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Rate, if applicable); or

(b) not then admitted to trading on a Relevant Stock Exchange, the higher of (ii) and (iii) above.

Section 4.05. Anti-Dilution Adjustment of the Floor Price. For the purposes of this Section 4.05 only (a) references to the “issue” of Common Shares or Common Shares being issued shall, if not otherwise expressly specified in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, include the transfer and/or delivery of Common Shares, whether newly issued and allotted or previously existing or held by or on behalf of the Company or any member of the Group, and (b) Common Shares held by or on behalf of the Company or any member of the Group (and which, in the case of Section 4.05(a)(iv) and Section 4.05(a)(vi), are not entitled to receive the relevant right or other entitlement) shall not be considered as or treated as in issue or issued or entitled to receive any Dividend, right or other entitlement.

References to any issue or offer or grant to Shareholders or Existing Shareholders “as a class” or “by way of rights” shall be taken to be references to an issue or offer or grant to all or substantially all Shareholders or Existing Shareholders, as the case may be, other than Shareholders or Existing Shareholders, as the case may be, to whom, by reason of the laws of any territory or requirements of any recognized regulatory body or any other stock exchange or securities market in any territory or in connection with fractional entitlements, it is determined not to make such issue or offer or grant.

(a) Upon the happening of any of the events described below and unless otherwise provided in connection with a series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the Floor Price of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(i) If and whenever there shall be a consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision affecting the number of Common Shares, the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to such consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision by the following fraction:

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date the consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision, as the case may be, takes effect.

(ii) If and whenever the Company shall issue any Common Shares credited as fully paid to Shareholders by way of capitalization of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) other than (i) where any such Common Shares are or are to be issued instead of the whole or part of a Dividend in cash which Shareholders would or could otherwise have elected to receive, (ii) where Shareholders may elect to receive a Dividend in cash in lieu of such Common Shares or (iii) where any such Common Shares are or are expressed to be issued in lieu of a Dividend (whether or not a cash Dividend equivalent or amount is announced or would otherwise be payable to Shareholders, whether at their election or otherwise), the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to such issue by the following fraction:

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Common Shares.

(iii) (A) If and whenever the Company shall pay any Extraordinary Dividend to its Shareholders, the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Extraordinary Dividend can be determined.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this Section 4.05(a)(iii)(A), the first date on which the Common Shares are traded ex-the relevant Cash Dividend on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

“Extraordinary Dividend” means any Cash Dividend which is expressly declared by the Company to be a capital distribution, extraordinary dividend, extraordinary distribution, special dividend, special distribution or return of value to its Shareholders or any analogous or similar term (including any distribution made as a result of any Capital Reduction), in which case the Extraordinary Dividend shall be such Cash Dividend.

(B) If and whenever the Company shall pay or make any Non-Cash Dividend to Shareholders, the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this Section 4.05(a)(iii)(B), the first date on which the Common Shares are traded ex-the relevant Dividend on the Relevant Stock Exchange or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Common Shares or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Common Shares by or on behalf of the Company or any member of the Group, the date on which such purchase, redemption or buy back is made (or, in any such case if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Dividend is capable of being determined as provided herein) or in the case of a Spin-Off, the first date on which the Common Shares are traded ex-the relevant Spin-Off on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

(C) For the purposes of this Section 4.05(a)(iii), Fair Market Value shall (subject as provided in paragraph (a) of the definition of “Dividend” and in the definition of “Fair Market Value”) be determined as at the Effective Date.

(D) In making any calculations for the purposes of this Section 4.05(a)(iii), such adjustments (if any) shall be made as an Independent Financial Adviser may determine in good faith to be appropriate to reflect (A) any consolidation or sub-division of any Common Shares or (B) the issue of Common Shares by way of capitalization of profits or reserves (or any like or similar event) or (C) any increase in the number of Common Shares in issue in the Company’s financial year in question.

(iv) If and whenever the Company shall issue Common Shares to its Shareholders as a class by way of rights, or the Company or any member of the Group or (at the direction or request or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any member of the Group) any other company, person or entity shall issue or grant to the Shareholders as a class by way of rights, any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Common Shares, or any Securities which by their terms of issue carry (directly or indirectly) rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, or the right to acquire, any Common Shares (or shall grant any such rights in respect of existing Securities so issued), in each case at a price per Common Share which is less than 95% of the Current Market Price per Common Share on the Effective Date, the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

provided that if at the Effective Date such number of Common Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time, then for the purposes of this Section 4.05(a)(iv), “C” shall be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at the Effective Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition had taken place on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this Section 4.05(a)(iv), the first date on which the Common Shares are traded ex-rights, ex-options or ex-warrants on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

(v) If and whenever the Company or any member of the Group or (at the direction or request or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any member of the Group) any other company, person or entity shall issue any Securities (other than Common Shares or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Common Shares or Securities which by their terms carry (directly or indirectly) rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, or rights to otherwise acquire, Common Shares) to the Shareholders as a class by way of rights or grant to the Shareholders as a class by way of rights any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire any Securities (other than Common Shares or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase or otherwise acquire Common Shares or Securities which by their term carry (directly or indirectly) rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, rights to otherwise acquire, Common Shares), the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

provided that if at the Effective Date such number of Common Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time (which may be when such Securities are converted or exchanged or rights of subscription, purchase or acquisition are exercised or, as the case may be, such Securities are reclassified/redesignated or at such other time as may be provided), then for the purposes of this Section 4.05(a)(vii), “C” shall be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at the Effective Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition or, as the case may be, reclassification/redesignation had taken place on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this Section 4.05(a)(vii), the date of issue of such Securities or, as the case may be, the grant of such rights.

(viii) If and whenever there shall be any modification of the rights of conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition attaching to any Securities (other than the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, which term shall for this purpose include any Further Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities) pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(vii) above (other than in accordance with the terms (including terms as to adjustment) applicable to such Securities upon issue) so that following such modification the consideration per Common Share receivable has been reduced and is less than 95% of the Current Market Price per Common Share on the date of the first public announcement of the proposals for such modification, the Floor Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Floor Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

provided that if at the Effective Date such number of Common Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time (which may be when such Securities are converted or exchanged or rights of subscription, purchase or acquisition are exercised or at such other time as may be provided) then for the purposes of this Section 4.05(a)(viii), “C” shall be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at the Effective Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition had taken place on the Effective Date.

“Effective Date” means, in respect of this Section 4.05(a)(ix), the first date on which the Common Shares are traded ex-rights on the Relevant Stock Exchange.

(x) If the Company determines that a reduction to the Floor Price should be made for whatever reason, the Floor Price will be reduced (either generally or for a specified period as notified to Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such relevant series) in such manner and with effect from such date as the Company shall determine and notify to the Holders of the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(i) where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment of the Floor Price have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Floor Price or where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of any other events or circumstances which have already given or will give rise to an adjustment to the Floor Price or where more than one event which gives rise to an adjustment to the Floor Price occurs within such a short period of time that, in the opinion of the Company, a modification to the operation of the adjustment provisions is required to give the intended result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the adjustment provisions as may be determined in good faith by an Independent Financial Adviser to be in its opinion appropriate to give the intended result; and

and in each case, any such modification shall be conclusive and binding on all parties (including the Holders and beneficial owners of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security) save in the case of manifest error.

(c) For the purpose of any calculation of the consideration receivable or price pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(iv), Section 4.05(a)(vi), Section 4.05(a)(vii) and Section 4.05(a)(viii) above, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) the aggregate consideration receivable or price for Common Shares issued for cash shall be the amount of such cash;

(iii) if the consideration or price determined pursuant to (i) or (ii) above (or any component thereof) shall be expressed in a currency other than the Share Currency, it shall be converted into the Share Currency at the Prevailing Rate on the relevant Effective Date (in the case of (i) above) or the relevant date of first public announcement (in the case of (ii) above);

(iv) in determining the consideration or price pursuant to the above, no deduction shall be made for any commissions or fees (howsoever described) or any expenses paid or incurred for any underwriting, placing or management of the issue of the relevant Common Shares or Securities or options, warrants or rights, or otherwise in connection therewith; and

(v) the consideration or price shall be determined as provided above on the basis of the consideration or price received, receivable, paid or payable regardless of whether all or part thereof is received, receivable, paid or payable by or to the Company or another entity.

(d) If the Conversion Settlement Date in relation to the Conversion of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series shall be after the record date in respect of any consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or sub-division as is mentioned in Section 4.05(a)(i), or after the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for any such issue, distribution, grant or offer (as the case may be) as is mentioned in Section 4.05(a)(ii), Section 4.05(a)(iii), Section 4.05(a)(iv), Section 4.05(a)(v) or Section 4.05(a)(ix), or after the date of the first public announcement of the terms of any such issue or grant as is mentioned in Section 4.05(a)(vi)

and Section 4.05(a)(vii) or of the terms of any such modification as is mentioned in Section 4.05(a)(viii) above, but before the relevant adjustment to the Floor Price (if applicable) becomes effective under Section 4.05 above (such adjustment, a “Retroactive Adjustment”), then the Company shall (conditional upon the relevant adjustment becoming effective) procure that there shall be delivered to the Conversion Shares Depository, for onward delivery to the Holders of the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, in accordance with the instructions contained in the Delivery Notices received by the Conversion Shares Depository, such additional number of Common Shares (if any) (the “Additional Common Shares”) as, together with the Common Shares issued on Conversion of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (together with any fraction of a Common Share not so delivered to any relevant Holder pursuant to Section 4.03(a)), is equal to the number of Common Shares which would have been required to be issued and delivered on such Conversion if the relevant adjustment to the Floor Price had been made and become effective immediately prior to the relevant Conversion Notice Date (subject as provided in Section 4.03(a) with respect to fractions), provided that, where applicable, if the Conversion Shares Depository and/or the Holders, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive the relevant Dividend in respect of the Common Shares to be issued or delivered to them, then no such Retroactive Adjustment shall be made in relation to such Dividend and Additional Common Shares shall not be issued and delivered to the Conversion Shares Depository and Holders in relation thereto. If Additional Common Shares are required under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, all references to the issue and/or delivery of Common Shares in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall be construed accordingly.

(e) If any doubt shall arise as to whether an adjustment is required to be made to the Floor Price or as to the appropriate adjustment to the Floor Price, the Company may at its discretion appoint an Independent Financial Adviser and, following consultation between the Company and such Independent Financial Adviser, a written determination of such Independent Financial Adviser in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on all parties (including the Holders and beneficial owners of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security), save in the case of manifest error.

(f) No adjustment will be made to the Floor Price where Common Shares or other Securities (including rights, warrants and options) are issued, offered, exercised, allotted, purchased, appropriated, modified or granted to, or for the benefit of, employees or former employees (including directors holding or formerly holding executive or non-executive office or the personal service company of any such person) or their spouses or relatives, in each case, of the Company or any member of the Group or any associated company or to a trustee or trustees or intermediary to be held for the benefit of any such person, in any such case pursuant to any share or option or similar scheme.

(g) On any adjustment, if the resultant Floor Price has more decimal places than the initial Floor Price, it shall be rounded down to the same number of decimal places as the initial Floor Price. No adjustment shall be made to the Floor Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than 1% of the Floor Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made pursuant to the above, and/or any amount by which the Floor Price has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made.

(h) Notice of any adjustments to the Floor Price shall be given by the Company to Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series through the filing of a relevant information (información relevante) announcement with the CNMV and its publication in accordance with the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or other relevant authority and in accordance with Section 1.06 promptly after the determination thereof.

(a) If a Trigger Event occurs at any time on or after the issue date of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, then the Company will notify the Regulator and the Holders of such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities immediately upon the Company’s determination that a Trigger Event has occurred (i) through the filing of a relevant information (información relevante) announcement with the CNMV and its publication in accordance with the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or other relevant authority and (ii) in accordance with Section 1.06 (together, the “Trigger Event Notice”). Any failure by the Company to give a Trigger Event Notice or otherwise notify the Holders of a Trigger Event will have no impact on

the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any Trigger Conversion, will not constitute an Enforcement Event with respect to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, or give the Holders or beneficial owners of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series any rights as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Capital Reduction occurs at any time on or after the issue date of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, then the Company will notify the Regulator and the Holders of such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities immediately (i) through the filing of a relevant information (información relevante) announcement with the CNMV and its publication in accordance with the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or other relevant authority and (ii) in accordance with Section 1.06 (together, the “Capital Reduction Notice”).

(vi) that the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (other than, in the case of a Capital Reduction, Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities which Holders elect not to convert in accordance with Section 4.02(b)) shall remain in existence for the sole purposes of evidencing the Holder’s right to receive Common Shares from or on behalf of the Conversion Shares Depository and, in the case of a Capital Reduction, of evidencing the Holder’s right to receive payment of accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current Distribution Period up to (but excluding) the Conversion Settlement Date as provided under Section 4.02(a), where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09; and

(vii) a request that Holders and beneficial owners (or the custodian, broker, nominee or other representative thereof) of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities complete a Delivery Notice to be delivered, together with the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities held by them (other than, in the case of a Capital Reduction, Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities which Holders elect not to convert in accordance with Section 4.02(b)), to the specified office of the Paying and Conversion Agent, with a copy of such Delivery Notice to the Trustee, no later than five Business Days (in the relevant place of delivery) prior to the relevant Conversion Settlement Date (the “Notice Cut-off Date”).

In the case of a Trigger Event, the Company shall further notify the Holders of the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the expected Conversion Settlement Date and of the Conversion Price within ten (10) Business Days of the Conversion Notice Date, in accordance with Section 1.06.

(d) The Conversion Notice Date shall be deemed to be the date on which the Trigger Event Notice or the Capital Reduction Notice, as the case may be, containing the information set forth in Section 4.06(c) (except, in the case of a Trigger Event, for its last paragraph) is communicated through the filing of a relevant information (información relevante) announcement with the CNMV and is published in accordance with the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or other relevant authority in accordance with Section 4.06(a) or 4.06(b), as the case may be.

The Company shall provide a copy of the Conversion Notice to the Trustee as soon as it is available.

(f) Within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Trustee shall transmit the Conversion Notice to the Depositary.

(g) If a Trigger Event occurs, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series will be converted in whole and not in part pursuant to this Article 4, and if a Capital Reduction occurs, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series will be converted in whole and not in part pursuant to this Article 4 except for Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which such Holders have elected not to convert such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 4.02(b).

(h) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture to the contrary, except in the case of a Capital Reduction with respect to any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which the Holders have elected not to convert such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 4.02(b) (as the case may be), upon a Conversion, (i) subject to the right of Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities relating to a breach of the Performance Obligation in the event of a failure by the Company to issue and deliver any Common Shares to the Conversion Shares Depository on the Conversion Settlement Date and, in the case of a Capital Reduction, the right of Holders to receive payment of accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current Distribution Period up to (but excluding) the Conversion Settlement Date provided under Section 4.02(a) (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09 and except as provided in Section 4.02(b)), the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with regard to a Conversion (other than as provided in Section 3.05(a) if a Global Security is surrendered for conversion in part upon a Capital Reduction), and the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities converted or to be converted shall have no rights whatsoever under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to instruct the Trustee to take any action whatsoever and (ii) as of the Conversion Notice Date, except for any indemnity and/or security provided by any Holders of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in such direction or related to such direction, any direction previously given to the Trustee by any Holders of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall cease automatically and shall be null and void and of no further effect.

(i) The Company’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall survive any Conversion.

(a) Delivery of the Common Shares to the Holders of converted Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities upon a Conversion Event shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.08. The Company may make changes to these procedures to the extent such changes are reasonably necessary, in the opinion of the Company, including to reflect changes in clearing system practices.

(b) Holders of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities cleared and settled through DTC may elect to have their Common Shares delivered in the form of Common Shares or ADSs in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.08. The obligation to deliver ADSs if a Holder elects to have its Common Shares delivered in such form will apply only if on the relevant Conversion Settlement Date the Company continues to maintain an ADS depositary facility.

Any determination as to whether any Delivery Notice has been properly completed and delivered as provided in this Section 4.08 shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion, acting in good faith, and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the relevant Holders and beneficial owners (and any custodian, broker, nominee or other representative thereof).

(g) A Holder of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series or Selling Agent (as defined in Section 4.09) must pay (in the case of the Selling Agent by means of deduction from the net proceeds of sale set forth in Section 4.09) any taxes and capital, stamp, issue, registration and transfer taxes or duties arising on Conversion (other than any capital, stamp, issue, registration and transfer taxes or duties payable in Spain by the Company in respect of the issue and delivery of the Common Shares in accordance with a Delivery Notice delivered pursuant to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture which shall be paid by the Company) and such Holder or the Selling Agent (as the case may be) must pay (in the case of the Selling Agent, by way of deduction from the net proceeds of sale as aforesaid) all, if any, taxes or duties arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security or interest therein.

(h) Any costs incurred by the Conversion Shares Depository or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Conversion Shares Depository in connection with the holding by the Conversion Shares Depository of any Common Shares and any amount received in respect thereof shall be deducted by the Conversion Shares Depository from such amount (or, if such deduction is not possible, paid to the Conversion Shares Depository, by the relevant Holder) prior to the delivery of such Common Shares and/or payment of such amount to the relevant Holder.

(i) If the Company shall fail to pay any capital, stamp, issue, registration and transfer taxes or duties for which it is responsible as provided in Section 4.08(g), the Holder or Selling Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled (but shall not be obliged) to tender and pay the same and the Company as a separate and independent obligation, undertakes to reimburse and indemnify each Holder or Selling Agent, as the case may be, in respect of any payment thereof and any penalties payable in respect thereof.

(j) The Common Shares issued on Conversion will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully paid Common Shares in issue on the relevant Conversion Notice Date, except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law and except that such Common Shares will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant Holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to the Conversion Settlement Date.

(a) If a duly completed Delivery Notice and the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are not delivered to the Paying and Conversion Agent as provided in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and the Conversion Notice on or before the Notice Cut-off Date, then at any time following the Notice Cut-off Date and prior to the tenth Business Day after the Conversion Settlement Date, the Company may in its sole and absolute discretion (and the relevant Holders and beneficial owners of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be deemed to agree thereto), elect to appoint a person (the “Selling Agent”) to procure that all Common Shares held by the Conversion Shares Depository in respect of which the applicable Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and duly completed Delivery Notice have not been delivered on or before the Notice Cut-off Date as aforesaid be sold by or on behalf of the Selling Agent as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) Subject to the deduction by or on behalf of the Selling Agent of any amount payable in respect of its liability to taxation and the payment of any capital, stamp, issue, registration and/or transfer taxes and duties (if any) and any fees or costs incurred by or on behalf of the Selling Agent in connection with the issue, allotment and sale of any Common Shares pursuant to Section 4.09(a), and the conversion of any proceeds of such sale into U.S. dollars, the net proceeds of such sale, converted into U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Rate on the Notice Cut-off Date, if necessary, shall as soon as reasonably practicable be distributed ratably to the relevant Holders in such manner and at such time as the Company shall determine and notify to the relevant Holders. Such payment shall for all purposes discharge the obligations of the Company, the Conversion Shares Depository, the Paying and Conversion Agent and the Selling Agent to such Holders in respect of the relevant Conversion. The Company, the Conversion Shares Depository, the Paying and Conversion Agent and the Selling Agent shall have no liability in respect of the exercise or non-exercise of any discretion or power pursuant to this Section 4.09 or in respect of any sale of any Common Shares, whether for the timing of any such sale or the price at or manner in which any such Common Shares are sold or the inability to sell any such Common Shares. Furthermore, the Company, the Conversion Shares Depository, the Paying and Conversion Agent and the Selling Agent shall have no liability to any Holder or beneficial owner of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities for any loss resulting from such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s failure to receive any Common Shares or ADSs, or from any delay in the receipt thereof, in each case as a result of such Holder or beneficial owner (or custodian, nominee, broker or other representative thereof) failing to duly submit a Delivery Notice and the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities on a timely basis or at all.

(c) If the applicable Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and Delivery Notice are not delivered to the Paying and Conversion Agent on or before the Notice Cut-off Date and the Company does not appoint the Selling Agent by the 10th Business Day after the Conversion Settlement Date, or if any Common Shares are not sold by the Selling Agent in accordance with this Section 4.09, the Conversion Shares Depository shall continue to hold any Common Shares not sold by the Selling Agent until a duly completed Delivery Notice and the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are so delivered. However, any Holder or beneficial owner (or custodian, broker, nominee or other representative thereof) of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities delivering a Delivery Notice after the Notice Cut-off Date will have to provide evidence of its entitlement to the relevant Common Shares, or if the Holder so elects, ADSs, satisfactory to the Conversion Shares Depository in its sole and absolute discretion in order to receive delivery of such Common Shares or ADSs (if so elected to be deposited with the ADS Depositary on its behalf).

Section 4.10. Delivery of ADSs. In respect of any Common Shares that Holders elect to receive in the form of ADSs as specified in the Delivery Notice, the Conversion Shares Depository shall deposit with the custodian for the ADS Depositary the relevant number of Common Shares to be issued upon Conversion of the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, and the ADS Depositary shall issue the corresponding number of ADSs to the DTC Participant account or registered ADS facility account specified by such Holders (per the ADS-to-Common Share ratio in effect on the Conversion Settlement Date). However, the issuance of the ADSs by the ADS Depositary may be delayed until the depositary bank or the custodian receives confirmation that all required approvals have been given and that the Common Shares have been duly transferred to the custodian and that all applicable depositary fees and payments have been paid to the ADS Depositary.

Section 5.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture. This Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the direction and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series when (a) all Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 11.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series; and (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel. each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series have been complied with.

In addition, upon the exercise of a Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to a series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities which results in the redemption, cancellation, or the conversion into other securities, of all the Amounts Due on such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities otherwise ceasing to be outstanding, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall be deemed satisfied and discharged as to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

Notwithstanding any satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.08 of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 7.15 of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

(a) Each of the following events is an “Enforcement Event” with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities:

(i) the breach of any term, obligation or condition binding on the Company under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series (other than any of the Company’s payment obligations under or arising from the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, including payment of any Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions or Additional Amounts (including upon a Capital Reduction), payment of the Redemption Price or payment of any damages awarded for breach of any obligations)) (a “Performance Obligation”); or

(ii) the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or winding-up of the Company (a “Liquidation Event”).

(b) Neither the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power nor the exercise of any other resolution tool by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority or any action in compliance therewith shall constitute an Enforcement Event or other default under the terms of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

Section 6.02. Liquidation Distribution. (a) Subject as provided in Section 6.02(b) below, in the event of any Liquidation Event, Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series (unless previously converted into Common Shares pursuant to Article 4) shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to Holders of such series, the Liquidation Distribution. Such entitlement will arise before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Common Shares or any other instrument of the Company ranking junior to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

(b) If, before the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, a Conversion Event occurs but the relevant conversion of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series into Common Shares pursuant to Article 4 is still to take place, Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series will be entitled to receive out of the relevant assets of the Company a monetary amount equal to that which Holders of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series would have received on any distribution of the assets of the Company if such conversion had taken place immediately prior to such Liquidation Event.

(c) After payment of the relevant entitlement in respect of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security as described in this Section 6.02, such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security will confer no further right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

The sole remedies of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series and the Trustee under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series or this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event shall be:

(a) with respect to the Enforcement Event set forth in Section 6.01(a)(i), to seek enforcement of the relevant Performance Obligation; and

(b) with respect to the Enforcement Event set forth in Section 6.01(a)(ii), to enforce the entitlement set forth in Section 6.02.

(a) Other than the limited remedies specified in this Article 6, and subject to paragraph (c) below, no remedy against the Company shall be available to the Trustee (acting on behalf of the Holders) or to the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, or in respect of any breach by the Company of any of the Company’s obligations under or in respect of the terms of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture in relation thereto; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to the Trustee under, and the Trustee’s lien provided for in Section 7.08 of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and the Trustee’s rights to have money collected applied first to pay amounts due to it under such Section pursuant to Section 6.08 of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall not be limited or impaired by this Article 6 and expressly survive any Enforcement Event and are not subject to the subordination provisions of Section 13.01.

(b) Notwithstanding the limitations on remedies specified in this Article 6, (i) the Trustee shall have such powers as are required to be authorized to it under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the rights of the Holders under the provisions of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, and (ii) nothing shall impair the rights of a Holder of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities under the Trust Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s consent, to sue for any payment due but unpaid with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities as provided for in Section 6.10; provided that, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, any payments in respect of, or arising from, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, including any payments or amounts resulting or arising from the enforcement of any rights under the Trust Indenture Act in respect of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, shall be subject to the subordination provisions set forth in Section 13.01.

(i) For purposes of Sections 315(a) and 315(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, the term “default” is hereby defined to mean an Enforcement Event which has occurred and is continuing.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture to the contrary, the duties and responsibilities of the Trustee under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall be subject to the protections, exculpations and limitations on liability afforded to an indenture trustee under the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 6.05. Agreement with Respect to Limitation of Remedies for Breach of a Performance Obligation. By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder and beneficial owner of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series acknowledges and agrees that such Holder and beneficial owner will not seek, and will not direct the Trustee to seek, a claim for damages against the Company in respect of a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation and that the sole and exclusive remedy that such Holder, beneficial owner and the Trustee may seek under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series and the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture for a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation is specific performance.

Section 6.06. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, winding-up or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series or to the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors (other than under or in connection with a proceeding not involving bankruptcy or insolvency), the Trustee (irrespective of whether the Liquidation Preference of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or counsel) allowed in any such proceeding; provided that the Company shall not, as a result of the bringing of such proceedings, be obliged to pay any sum representing or measured by reference to Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) or Additional Amounts on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities sooner than the same would otherwise have been payable by it. In particular, and subject as aforesaid, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys and other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder and beneficial owner of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders or beneficial owners, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.08.

Subject to Article 9 and Section 10.02, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder or beneficial owner of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or the rights of any Holder or beneficial owner of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder or beneficial owner in any such proceeding.

The provisions of this Section 6.06 are subject to the provisions of Section 13.01.

Section 6.07. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, if any, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (subject, with regard to the Company, to the provisions of Article 13) be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 6.08. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article or, after an Enforcement Event, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture in respect of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13.02 in relation to waiver of rights of set-off and Section 13.01 in relation to the subordination of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) or Additional Amounts upon presentation of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts applicable to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected and is due and owing to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) under Section 7.08;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, Distributions (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) on and Additional Amounts with respect to, such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities for Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) and Additional Amounts, if any, respectively; and

THIRD: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

Section 6.09. Limitation on Suits. No Holder (which, for the purposes of this Section 6.09, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series) of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Enforcement Event with respect to Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the same series specifying such Enforcement Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Enforcement Event” hereunder;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Enforcement Event in its own name, as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security has offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series;

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

Section 6.10. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Liquidation Preference (and Premium, if any), Distributions and Additional Amounts. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, and subject to as otherwise provided in this Article 6, Article 13 in relation to the subordination of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series and Article 14 on the exercise of the Spanish-Bail in Power, the Holder of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, any Distribution (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security when due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture (including Article 3, Article 6, Article 13 and Article 14 hereof) and as expressed in such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.12. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Subject to the limitations on remedies provided for in this Article 6, except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, subject as aforesaid, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.13. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Enforcement Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Enforcement Event or an acquiescence therein.

Section 6.14. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee hereunder, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee hereunder, with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, provided that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or with the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series;

(b) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series not taking part in such direction with respect to which the Trustee is acting as the Trustee; and

Section 6.15. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture agree, and each Holder and beneficial owner of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant to such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, any Distribution (where not cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to, or otherwise subject to the limitations on payment set out in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09) on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security on or after the dates upon which such amounts become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof or the terms expressed in such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (or, in the case of redemption on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 6.16. Waiver of Past Enforcement Events. (a) Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series waive any past Enforcement Event that results from a breach by the Company of a Performance Obligation. Holders of a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall not be entitled to waive (i) any past Enforcement Event that results from a Liquidation Event and (ii) any Enforcement Event in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of such series affected.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any waiver permitted by paragraph (a) above, such Enforcement Event shall cease to exist, and any Enforcement Event with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Enforcement Event or impair any right consequent thereon.

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture against the Trustee, except as otherwise required by the Trust Indenture Act; and

(ii) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b) In case an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

(i) this Section 7.01(c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a)(i) or subsection (d) of this Section;

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

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, determined as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series;

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

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

Section 7.02. Spanish Tax Procedures and Obligations of the Trustee. In connection with each payment made on any Payment Date (as defined in Appendix 1 attached hereto) in respect of the issued Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities hereunder, the Trustee or Paying Agent (as the Company may determine in connection with the establishment of each series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities) shall comply with the tax procedures set forth in Appendix 1 hereto. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to comply with other Spanish tax obligations arising out of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any and all amounts due under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. Therefore, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall not be liable for any amounts owed to any person due to its failure to properly comply with the tax procedures referred to in this Section 7.02 and Appendix 1 hereto, except such as may result from the negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Trustee or

Paying Agent or any of its employees. The Trustee or Paying Agent may request and rely conclusively upon any instructions from the Company in respect of any action necessary or required to be taken by the Trustee or Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 7.02 and Appendix 1 hereto; provided, however, in no event shall the Trustee or Paying Agent be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of any of its duties pursuant to this Section 7.02 and Appendix 1 hereto, or be obligated to take any legal or other action which might in its judgment involve or cause it to incur any expense or liability unless it shall have been furnished with acceptable indemnification and security.

Section 7.03. Notice of Enforcement Events. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Enforcement Event hereunder with respect to Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06 to Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series notice of such Enforcement Event hereunder of which the Trustee has received written notice, unless such Enforcement Event shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if it determines in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

Section 7.04. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act:

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(l) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar and any Calculation Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and, subject to Section 7.11 and Section 7.15 and Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar, Calculation Agent or such other agent.

Section 7.07. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Moneys received by the Trustee shall be held uninvested and the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as agreed upon in writing by the Company and the Trustee from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith; and

(c) to indemnify the Trustee (which for the purposes of this Section 6.07(a)(iii) shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Trustee) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Enforcement Event specified in Section 6.01, the fees, costs and expenses (including the charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing of the commencement of any action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of such commencement (provided that the failure to make such notification shall not affect the Trustee’s rights hereunder) and the Company shall be entitled to participate therein. The Trustee shall not be authorized to settle a claim without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a senior lien to which the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are hereby made subordinate, upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of Liquidation Preference (or premium, if any), Distributions or Additional Amounts on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

The Trustee’s rights to payment of its fees, reimbursement and indemnity under this Section 7.08 shall survive the payment in full of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the termination for any reason of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and (without prejudice to Section 14.02 of this Indenture if, and to the extent applicable, as set out therein) any exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series.

Section 7.09. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

Section 7.10. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities which shall be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state or territory or of the District of Columbia (or a corporation or other person permitted to act as Trustee by the Commission), eligible under Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(5) and 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by a U.S. federal or state authority. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.12.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.12 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.12 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.09 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of the series as to which the Trustee has a conflicting interest for at least six months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge, or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, byor pursuant to a Company Order, may remove the Trustee with respect to any or all series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or (ii) subject to Section 6.15, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security for at least six months (and, in the case of (i) above, who is a Holder of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of the series as to which the Trustee has a conflicting interest) may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of one or more series, the Company, byor pursuant to a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series (it being understood that any successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any particular series), and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.12. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.12, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter required by Section 7.12, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

(f) The Company shall give notice to Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee, all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 7.08.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of each such series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the

retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor relates shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, subject to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 7.08.

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7.12, as the case may be.

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 7.

Section 7.13. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

Section 7.14. Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 7.15. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may at any time appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to one or more series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series upon original issue, or issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption or Conversion thereof or in lieu of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, and Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be issued and authenticated in New York.

Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as provided in or pursuant to this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, shall at all times be a Person that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice to the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 7.15.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantively the following form:

This is one of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

Section 7.16. Appointment of Additional Trustees. The Company may appoint a Trustee for a particular series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities other than the Trustee named in the first paragraph of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture by executing and delivering an indenture supplemental hereto where such Trustee accepts such appointment as contemplated by Section 10.01(l) (it being understood that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any particular series); provided that, at the time of such acceptance, such Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 7. Upon such acceptance, such Trustee shall be vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of a Trustee under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

Section 7.17. Tax Withholding. Any amounts to be paid by the Company on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and the Company shall not be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax.

In order to enable the Trustee and the Paying Agent to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time, including, without limitation FATCA Withholding Tax (“Applicable Tax Law”) that the Company, Trustee or any Paying Agent is subject to, the Company agrees (i) to cooperate in good faith with the Trustee and each Paying Agent by providing information, to the extent within the Company’s possession, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, about the parties and/or Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (including any modification to the terms of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities) that is reasonably necessary for such entity to determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Tax Law and (ii) that the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Tax Law. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any obligation to gross up any payment hereunder or pay any additional amount or otherwise indemnify a Holder as a result of such withholding tax. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

Section 8.01. Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company, with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

(b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished.

The Company need not furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.01 the names and addresses of Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities so long as the Trustee acts as Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar with respect to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(a) The Trustee shall comply with the obligations imposed upon it pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 8.01 and (ii) received by the Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent or Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Registrar (if so acting). The Trustee may dispose of any list furnished to it as provided in Section 8.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

(b) The rights of the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act.

(c) Every Holder, by receiving and holding a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with this Section 8.02 or otherwise made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

(a) On or before May 15 in each year following the date hereof, so long as any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit to Holders as provided in the Trust Indenture Act a brief report dated as of a date required by and in compliance with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall transmit reports required by Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture Act at the times specified therein.

(b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each securities exchange upon which the Trustee has been notified that the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are listed, with the Commission and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are listed on any securities exchange.

So long as any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are Outstanding, the Company shall:

(a) file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company files the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate);

(b) file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate); and

(c) transmit to Holders, in the manner and to the extent required by the Trust Indenture Act, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to paragraphs 8.04(a) and 8.04(b) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

The Company may, without the consent of Holders of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series Outstanding under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into any other Person or Persons (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or sell, convey or transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company), provided that:

(a) any Person formed by any consolidation, amalgamation or merger, or any transferee or lessee of the Company’s assets shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all obligations of the Company under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, no Enforcement Event and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Enforcement Event, shall have occurred and be continuing;

(c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; and

(d) immediately prior to such assumption, the successor entity shall have ratings for long-term senior debt assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or their respective successors) which are the same as, or higher than, the credit rating for long-term senior debt of the Company (or, if applicable, the previous successor entity) assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or their respective successors).

Section 9.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. In the event of any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer or lease permitted by Section 9.01 above, Additional Amounts under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series will thereafter be payable in respect of taxes imposed by the successor corporation’s (as defined below) jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence (subject to exceptions equivalent to those that apply to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 11.04 in respect of taxes imposed in the Kingdom of Spain) rather than taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Spain. Additional Amounts with respect to payments of Distributions due prior to the date of such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer or lease will be payable only in respect of taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Spain.

The successor corporation will also be entitled to redeem the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in the circumstances described in, and in accordance with, Section 12.09, except that if such successor corporation is not incorporated or tax resident in the Kingdom of Spain (i) references to Spain or the Kingdom of Spain in the definition of “Tax Event” shall be deemed to refer to the successor corporation’s jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence, and (ii) the change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of such jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence or of any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or the change in the application or binding official interpretation or administration of any such laws or regulations giving rise to a Tax Event shall become effective subsequent to the date of any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer or lease permitted by Section 9.01.

In the event of assumption of the Company’s obligations in connection with a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of its assets, the Company shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and the acquiring or resulting successor corporation (the “successor corporation”) formed by such consolidation or amalgamation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company.

Section 9.03. Assumption of Obligations. Any holding company of the Company or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “successor entity”) may without the consent of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, assume the obligations of the Company (or of any Person which shall have previously assumed the obligations of the Company) under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, provided that:

(a) the successor entity shall expressly assume such obligations by an amendment to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, executed by the Company and such successor entity, if applicable, and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such assumption of obligations, no Enforcement Event and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Enforcement Event, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such assumption complies with this Article 9 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such assumption have been complied with.

Upon any such assumption, the successor entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to any such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, and the Company or any legal and valid successor entity which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed herein, shall be released from all liability as obligor upon any such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

In the event of any assumption, Additional Amounts under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series will thereafter be payable in respect of taxes imposed by the successor entity’s jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence (subject to exceptions equivalent to those that apply to the obligation to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 11.04 in respect of taxes imposed in the Kingdom of Spain) rather than taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Spain. Additional Amounts with respect to payments of Distributions due prior to the date of such assumption will be payable only in respect of taxes imposed by the Kingdom of Spain.

The successor entity will also be entitled to redeem the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in the circumstances described in, and in accordance with, Section 12.09, except that if such successor entity is not incorporated or tax resident in the Kingdom of Spain (i) references to Spain or the Kingdom of Spain in the definition of “Tax Event” shall be deemed to refer to the successor entity’s jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence, and (ii) the change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of such jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residence or of any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or the change in the application or binding official interpretation or administration of any such laws or regulations giving rise to a Tax Event shall become effective subsequent to the date of such assumption.

Section 10.01. Supplemental Indenture without Consent of Holders. Without the consent of any Holders, the Company and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

(a) to evidence the assumption by a successor Person of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series;

(d) to make changes to procedures relating to Conversion, delivery of the Common Shares, or ADSs, as applicable; provided, however, that, unless such changes are made as a result of any change in, or amendment to, any relevant laws or regulations, no such change shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series in any material respect;

(e) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, or any supplemental indenture, provided, however, that any such addition, change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture effecting such addition, change or elimination which would be adversely affected by such addition, change or elimination and in respect of which such supplemental indenture would apply;

Section 10.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of each series affected by such supplemental Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture (voting as a class), by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Security affected thereby,

(a) change the terms of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security to reduce the Liquidation Preference (or premium, if any) payable upon the redemption of, or the Distributions payable on any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security (without prejudice to the provisions of Article 3, including, without limitation, the right of the Company to cancel the payment of any Distributions on any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities), or change the obligation of the Company (or its successor) to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 11.04 (except as permitted by Section 9.01(a), Section 9.03(a) and Section 10.01(a)) on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, or the currency in which payments under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are to be made, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment when due and payable on or with respect to any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, or modify the calculation of and any adjustment to, the Conversion Price;

(b) reduce the percentage in aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or of certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or reduce the requirements for a quorum or voting;

(c) modify any of the provisions of this Section 10.02 or Section 6.16 except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Security affected thereby; or

(d) change in any manner adverse to the interests of the Holders of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities the subordination provisions of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or the terms and conditions of the obligations of the Company in respect of the due and punctual payment of any amounts due and payable on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, except in each case with respect to any modification or amendment of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture which is entered into as a result of, and to the extent required by, the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority or Applicable Banking Regulations, as the case may be (in which case neither the consent nor the affirmative vote of any Holder of an Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Security affected shall be required).

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture which has expressly been entered into solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, or the interests, of the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any other series.

Section 10.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may, but shall not be obliged to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or otherwise.

Section 10.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby, except as otherwise expressed therein.

Section 10.05. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

Section 10.06. Reference in Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities may be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series.

Section 11.01. Payment of Liquidation Preference and Distributions. Except and to the extent as may be limited by the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, the Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities that it will duly and punctually pay, to the extent required by this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of and Distributions on, if any (subject to the subordination provisions of Section 13.01 and Section 3.01) the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture. Except as otherwise specified, as contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof, the Trustee shall act as Principal Paying Agent with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

Section 11.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities an office or agency where Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and

demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series and this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture may be served; provided, however, that at the option of the Company in the case of definitive Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, payment of any Distributions thereon may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled herein as such address shall appear in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security Register. With respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, such office or agency in each Place of Payment shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, and if not so specified, initially shall be the principal corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon in New York. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series and this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York. The Company hereby initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, NY 10286, United States, as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) where the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of any obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment (except as otherwise indicated in this Section) for Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, if and so long as the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent.

Section 11.03. Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, it shall, on or before each due date, if any, for payment of the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, Distributions on or Additional Amounts with respect to, any of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, it shall prior to any due date for payment of the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, Distributions on or Additional Amounts with respect to, any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or its failure so to act. The obligation of the Company to pay any such Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, Distributions on or Additional Amounts with respect to, any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series, shall be satisfied upon the deposit referred to in this paragraph. Receipt of the relevant sum by the Paying Agent shall discharge the Company’s obligations in respect of the relevant payment.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions on or Additional Amounts with respect to Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series) in the making of any payment, when due and payable, of Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions or Additional Amounts on Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of that series; and

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) of, Distributions on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any), Distributions or Additional Amounts have become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request (or if then held by the Company shall be discharged from such trust); and the Holder of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published at least once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company.

The Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly shall deliver or pay to the Company upon Company Request any excess money, as applicable, held by them at any time with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(a) Unless otherwise specified herein or unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, all payments of Distributions payable in respect of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities by the Company 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 (collectively “Taxes”) of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf 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 that event, the Company shall (to the extent such payment can be made out of Distributable Items of the Company on the same basis as for payment of any Distribution in accordance with Article 3) pay, in respect of any withholding or deduction imposed on payments of Distributions only (and not Liquidation Preference (and premium, if any) or other amount), such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in Holders of any series of Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities receiving such amounts as they would have received in respect of such Distributions had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) The Company shall not be required to pay any Additional Amounts in relation to any payment in respect of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security:

(i) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder if the Holder or the beneficial owner of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security by reason of his having some connection with Spain other than the mere holding of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security; or

(ii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder if the Holder or the beneficial owner of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities fails to provide the Company or the Trustee or Paying Agent (as the Company may determine in connection with each series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities) acting on behalf of the Company the information concerning such Holder or beneficial owner as may be required in order to comply with any procedures that may be implemented to comply with any interpretation of Royal Decree 1065/2007, as amended, made by the Spanish Tax Authorities; or

(iii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder if the Holder or the beneficial owner of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or other requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the taxing jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such claim or compliance is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction of the Company as a condition to relief or exemption from such taxes; or

(iv) presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, 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; or

(v) to, or to a third party on behalf of, individuals resident for tax purposes in the Kingdom of Spain; or

(vi) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Spanish-resident legal entity subject to Spanish corporation tax if the Spanish tax authorities determine that the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series 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, and require a withholding to be made; or

(vii) where the withholding or deduction is required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (“FATCA”), any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreements with respect thereto (including the intergovernmental agreement between the United States and Spain on the implementation of FATCA), or any law implementing an intergovernmental agreement or any regulations or official interpretations relating thereto.

(c) In addition, Additional Amounts will not be payable with respect to any Taxes that are imposed in respect of any combination of the items listed in (b)(i) through (b)(vii) set forth above.

(d) Additional Amounts will also not be paid with respect to any payment to a Holder who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment, to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of Spain (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interest holder in that limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had it been the Holder.

For the purposes of this Section 11.04, “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable, except that, if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been duly received by the Principal Paying Agent on or prior to such due date, it means the date on which, the full amount of such moneys having been so received and being available for payment to Holders, notice to that effect is duly given to the Holders in accordance with Section 1.06.

Whenever in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of Distributions on, or in respect of, any Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Section 11.05. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 9, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to any Holder.

Section 11.06. Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate in compliance with Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 12.01. Applicability of Article. Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall be redeemable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series may not be redeemed except in accordance with provisions of the Applicable Banking Regulations. The Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall not be redeemable at the option of the Holder thereof. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall be redeemable in whole and not in part.

Section 12.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or approved by a person authorized to make such election pursuant to a Board Resolution. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the Company shall, at least 30 calendar days prior, but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the Liquidation Preference of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series to be redeemed (which shall not be less than all).

(a) The decision to redeem the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series must be irrevocably notified by the Company to Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days’ notice prior to the relevant Redemption Date (unless a shorter period is specified in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to be redeemed) (i) through the filing of a relevant information (información relevante) announcement with the CNMV and its publication in accordance with the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or other relevant authority and (ii) in the manner and to the extent required by Section 1.06 (in which case, such notice may be given at the Company’s request by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, provided the Company has requested the Trustee to so give notice in writing accompanied by a copy of the form of notice, and the Trustee shall give such notice by the fifth Business Day following its receipt of such request).

Failure to give notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities designated for redemption, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities.

(b) Any notice of redemption will state: the Redemption Date; the Redemption Price; that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, become due and payable upon each Contingent Convertible Preferred Security being redeemed and that Distributions will cease to accrue on or after that date; the place or places where the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and the CUSIP, Common Code and/or ISIN number or numbers, if any, with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities being redeemed.

(c) If the Company gives notice of redemption of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, then on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date, the Company will (except as provided in Section 12.04(f) and Section 12.06):

(i) irrevocably deposit with the Principal Paying Agent funds (in the currency in which the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to be redeemed are payable) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price; and

(ii) give the Principal Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof.

(d) If the notice of redemption has been given on any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, and the funds deposited and instructions and authority to pay given as required above, then on the date of such deposit:

(i) Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series shall cease to accrue (unless such deposit is made prior to the Redemption Date, in which case Distributions on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date);

(ii) such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series will no longer be considered Outstanding (except as provided in Section 12.04(f), if there is a Trigger Event prior to the Redemption Date, and Section 12.04(h), if the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority exercises its Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities prior to the payment of the Redemption Price to the Holders); and

(iii) the Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series will no longer have any rights as Holders except the right to receive the Redemption Price (except as provided in Section 12.04(f) if there is a Trigger Event prior to the Redemption Date).

(e) Subject to Section 12.04(f), if in connection with any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities the Company improperly withholds or refuses to pay the Redemption Price of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, Distributions will continue to accrue, subject as provided in Section 3.08 and Section 3.09, at the rate specified from (and including) the Redemption Date to (but excluding) the date on which the Redemption Price is deposited with the Principal Paying Agent.

(f) The Company may not give a notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 12.04 with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series if a Trigger Event Notice has been given with respect to such series. If any notice of redemption of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities has been given pursuant to this Section 12.04 and a Trigger Event with respect to such series occurs prior to the Redemption Date,

the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, there shall be no redemption of the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities on such Redemption Date and, instead, the Trigger Conversion of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall take place as provided under Article 4.

(g) If a Capital Reduction Notice has been given with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series, the Company may not give a notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 12.04 with respect to such series until the end of the Election Period. If a redemption notice is given by the Company after the end of the Election Period, unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the relevant series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the Company may redeem all (but not part) of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series which remains outstanding following the Capital Reduction Conversion. If any notice of redemption of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities has been given pursuant to this Section 12.04 and a Capital Reduction with respect to such series occurs prior to the Redemption Date, such Capital Reduction will be disregarded for all purposes of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and there shall be no conversion of such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities pursuant to Section 4.02 and, instead, the redemption of the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall take place as provided under this Article 12. Accordingly, the provisions of Section 4.02 shall not apply to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities with respect to any such Capital Reduction and Holders and beneficial owners of such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived their rights under Article 418 of the Spanish Companies Act.

(h) If the Company has elected to redeem the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series but, prior to the payment of the Redemption Price to Holders, the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority exercises its Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, there shall be no redemption and consequently no payment of the Redemption Price (and any other amounts payable in accordance with this Article 12) will be due and payable.

Section 12.06. Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as set forth in Section 12.04, and subject to Section 12.04(f), the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price as described in Section 12.04(e)) such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall cease to accrue Distributions. Upon surrender of any such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security for redemption in accordance with the notice of redemption, such Contingent Convertible Preferred Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price. Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities in definitive form shall be presented for redemption to the Principal Paying Agent.

Section 12.08. Optional Redemption. Subject to Sections 12.09 and 12.10 and unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities shall not be redeemable prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (or such other period as Applicable Banking Regulations may require). All, and not only some, of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities at the Redemption Price, in accordance with Articles 77 and 78 of CRR, Article 29 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 and/or any other Applicable Banking Regulations then in force.

Section 12.09. Optional Redemption Due To A Tax Event. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, if, on or after the date of issuance of any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, there is a Tax Event, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company at any time at the Redemption Price, in accordance with Articles 77 and 78 of CRR, Article 29 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 and/or any other Applicable Banking Regulations then in force.

Prior to any notice of redemption of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities pursuant to Section 12.04, the Company shall provide the Trustee with (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that a Tax Event has occurred; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that a Tax Event has occurred.

Section 12.10. Optional Redemption Due To A Capital Event. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, if, on or after the issue date of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, there is a Capital Event, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company at any time at the Redemption Price, in accordance with Articles 77 and 78 of CRR, Article 29 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 and/or any other Applicable Banking Regulations then in force.

Section 12.11. Purchases of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. (a) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, the Company or any member of the Group may purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Outstanding Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series at any price in the open market or otherwise, in accordance with Articles 77 and 78 of CRR, Article 29 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 and/or any other Applicable Banking Regulations in force at the relevant time.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and subject to compliance with the provisions of any applicable law (including the Spanish Companies Act and the Applicable Banking Regulations), the Company or any member of the Group may exercise such rights as it may from time to time enjoy to purchase or redeem or buy back any shares of the Company (including Common Shares) or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing the same without the consent of the Holders.

Section 13.01. Subordination. (a) Unless previously converted into Common Shares pursuant to Article 4, the obligations of the Company under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series will constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Company and, in case of insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Company, in accordance with Additional Provision 14.3 of Law 11/2015 and the Spanish Insolvency Law but only to the extent permitted by the Spanish Insolvency Law or any other applicable laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in Spain and subject to any other ranking that may apply as a result of any mandatory provision of law (or otherwise), for so long as the obligations of the Company in respect of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series constitute an Additional Tier 1 Instrument of the Company, such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities will rank with respect to claims for any Liquidation Preference of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities:

(A) any unsubordinated obligations of the Company (including where those obligations subsequently become subordinated pursuant to Article 92.1º of the Spanish Insolvency Law); and

(B) any claim for principal in respect of any other contractually subordinated obligations of the Company, present and future, not constituting Additional Tier 1 Capital of the Company for the purposes of Section 3.(a) of Additional Provision 14 of Law 11/2015 (other than, to the extent permitted by law, any Parity Securities, whether so ranking by law or their terms);

(A) each other claim for any Liquidation Preference of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities;

(B) all other claims in respect of any liquidation preference or otherwise for principal in respect of contractually subordinated obligations of the Company under any outstanding Additional Tier 1 Instruments, present and future; and

(iii) senior to the Common Shares or any other subordinated obligations of the Company which by law rank junior to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (including, to the extent permitted by law, any contractually subordinated obligations of the Company expressed by their terms to rank junior to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities).

The obligations of the Company under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities are subject to, and may be limited by, the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.

(b) The Company agrees with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities and each Holder and beneficial owner of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, by his or her acquisition of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security, will be deemed to have agreed to the subordination as described in this Section 13.01. To the extent permitted by Spanish law, each such Holder and beneficial owner will be deemed to have irrevocably waived his or her rights of priority which would otherwise be accorded to him or her under the laws of Spain, to the extent necessary to effectuate the subordination provisions of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Security. In addition, each Holder and beneficial owner of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series by his or her acquisition of the securities, to the extent permitted by Spanish law, authorizes and directs the applicable trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination of the relevant Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities as provided in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and as summarized herein and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 13.02. Waiver of Right of Set-Off. Subject to applicable law, neither any Holder or beneficial owner of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series nor the Trustee acting on behalf of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series may exercise, claim or plead any right of set-off, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by the Company in respect of, or arising under, or in connection with, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series or the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and each Holder and beneficial owner of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, by virtue of its holding of any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series or any interest therein, and the Trustee acting on behalf of the Holders of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series, shall be deemed to have waived all such rights of set-off, compensation or retention. If, notwithstanding the above, any amounts due and payable to any Holder or beneficial owner of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security of any series or any interest therein by the Company in respect of, or arising under, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series are discharged by set-off, such Holder or beneficial owner shall, subject to applicable law, immediately pay an amount equal to the amount of such discharge to the Company (or, if a Liquidation Event shall have occurred, the liquidator or administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, until such time as payment is made, shall hold an amount equal to such amount in trust (where possible) or otherwise for the Company (or the liquidator or administrator of the Company, as the case may be) and, accordingly, any such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place.

Section 13.04. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder and beneficial owner of a Contingent Convertible Preferred Security by his acceptance thereof, to the extent permitted by Spanish law, authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities provided in this Article 13 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 13.05. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Senior Creditors. With respect to the senior creditors, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the Senior Creditors shall be read into this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture against the Trustee. Unless otherwise provided in any applicable law, the Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Senior Creditors and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of the series or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any Senior Creditors shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

Section 13.06. Rights of Trustee as Senior Creditor; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights. To the extent permitted by any applicable law, the Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any claims of senior creditors which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other Senior Creditor, and nothing in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or the Trust Indenture Act shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.08 and Section 7.08.

Section 13.07. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. At all times when a Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 13.06 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Section 14.01. Agreement and Acknowledgment with Respect to the Exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(a) Notwithstanding any other term of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, by its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder (which, for the purposes of this Article 14, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by: (i) the exercise and effect of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, which may be imposed with or without any prior notice with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, and may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (A) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series; (B) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Company or another Person (and the issue to or conferral on the Holder of any such shares, securities or obligations), including by means of an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities; (C) the cancellation of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series; (D) the amendment or alteration of the maturity, if any, of the Contingent Convertible Preferred

Securities of any series or amendment of the Liquidation Preference or Distributions payable on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, or the date on which Distributions become payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series or the rights of the Holders thereunder or under the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, if necessary, to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.

(b) By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series or the conversion thereof into another security or obligation of the Company or another Person, in each case as a result of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Company, nor the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series shall: (i) give rise to a default or event of default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act; or (ii) be a default or an Enforcement Event with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities or under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture. By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder further acknowledges and agrees that no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series shall become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority if, and to the extent that, such amounts have been reduced, converted, cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise.

(c) By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series. Additionally, by its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series: (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from the Holders with respect to any portion of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series that is written down, converted to equity and/or cancelled under Section 6.14 of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture; and (ii) this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture shall not impose any duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority; provided, however, that notwithstanding the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of a series, so long as any Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series remain outstanding, there shall at all times be a trustee for the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series in accordance with the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, and the resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee shall continue to be governed by this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, including to the extent no additional supplemental indenture or amendment is agreed upon in the event the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of such series remain outstanding following the completion of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(d) By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, directed and requested the relevant Depositary, Clearing Systems and any direct participant in any relevant Clearing System or other intermediary through which it holds such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder.

(e) Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, the Company or the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as the case may be) shall provide a written notice to the relevant Depositary as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power for purposes of notifying the Holders of such Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes.

(f) If the Company has elected to redeem the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series but, prior to the payment of the Redemption Price to Holders, the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority exercises its Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to such series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, there shall be no redemption and consequently no payment of the Redemption Price (and any other amounts payable in accordance with Article 12) will be due and payable.

(g) By its acquisition of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, each Holder acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by (i) the exercise and effect of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, which may be imposed with or without any prior notice, with respect to any Common Shares that may be delivered to it upon the Conversion (if any) of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series, and (ii) the variation of the terms of such Common Shares to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.

(h) Each Holder that acquires Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities of any series in the secondary market or otherwise shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified in this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture to the same extent as the Holders that acquire the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to this Article 14.

Section 14.02. BRRD Liabilities. Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee acknowledges and accepts that a BRRD Liability arising under this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture may be subject to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, and acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the effect of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority in relation to any BRRD Liability of the Company to the Trustee, which (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof:

(i) the reduction of all, or a portion, of such BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon;

(iv) the amendment or alteration of any interest, if applicable, on such BRRD Liability, and the maturity or the dates on which any payments on such BRRD Liability are due, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and

(b) the variation of the terms of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture, as deemed necessary by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.

The terms of this section shall survive the payment in full of the Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the satisfaction and discharge of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture with respect to any series of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination for any reason of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tiff”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes permitted under applicable law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Trustee have caused this Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities Indenture to be duly executed, all as of the day and year first above written.
