The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

All payments made in respect of this Agreement or the applicable Pricing Agreement may be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments or charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Spain or any political sub-division or authority thereof or therein, provided the recipient is (i) resident for tax purposes in Spain; or (ii) resident for tax purposes in a country which has entered into a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Spain which provides for a full exemption from Spanish taxes on business profits (a “DTT”), where the taxation of the services rendered under this Agreement and the applicable Pricing Agreement are limited to the country of tax residence of the recipient and timely submits to the Company a valid tax residence certificate duly issued by the tax authorities of its respective country of tax residency evidencing its tax residence in that country for the purposes of the DTT (or the fulfilment of any other formality).

(k)  If any condition specified in this Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Time of

18

9.

(a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or expenses, joint or several, as incurred to which such Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in an appendix to the applicable Pricing Agreement, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or any road show materials listed in an appendix to the applicable Pricing Agreement, in each case, relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Underwriter, subject to subsection (c) below) as such expenses are incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in an appendix to the applicable Pricing Agreement or any road show materials listed in an appendix to the applicable Pricing Agreement, in each case, relating to the Designated Securities, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the Underwriter Information.

(b)  Each Underwriter severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which each such person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the

19

Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in an appendix to the applicable Pricing Agreement, in each case, relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in an appendix to the applicable Pricing Agreement, in each case, relating to the Designated Securities, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Company, subject to subsection (c) below) as such expenses are incurred by the Company in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.

(c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall, so far as permitted by any insurance policy of the indemnified party and subject to the indemnifying party agreeing to indemnify the indemnified party against all judgments and other liabilities resulting from such action, be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel, to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under

20

this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the representatives representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 9, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from such

21

offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Designated Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Designated Securities and not joint.

(e)  The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director or employee of each Underwriter and to each person, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act; and the several obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director or employee of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act.

10.

(a)  If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Designated Securities of any series which it has agreed to purchase under the applicable Pricing Agreement, the Representatives may in their discretion, after giving notice to and consulting with the Company, arrange for themselves or another party or other parties to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Designated Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to

22

procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to the applicable Pricing Agreement.

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, BBVA Securities Inc. will not participate in the terms set out in Section 10 since BBVA Securities Inc. will not purchase any Designated Securities, but instead will procure eligible purchasers for the Designated Securities set forth opposite its name in Schedule I.

11.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or

23

made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, the Company or any officer or director or controlling person of the Underwriters or the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

12.  If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Designated Securities of any series covered by such Pricing Agreement except that Sections 7, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22 and 23 hereof and any related provisions of the applicable Pricing Agreement shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect.

13.  In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters of Designated Securities shall act on behalf of each such Underwriter, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such Representatives jointly or by such of the Representatives, if any, as may be designated for such purpose in the applicable Pricing Agreement.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail or electronic transmission to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreement; and, if to the Company, shall be delivered or sent by mail or electronic transmission to BBVA, Calle Azul 4, 28050 Madrid, Spain, Attention: Daniel Cubero dangel.cubero@bbva.com; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail or electronic transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreement. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

14.  This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement. No purchaser of any Designated Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15.  The Company waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with the offering of each series of Designated Securities or the process leading thereto and acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of each series of Designated Securities (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering contemplated by this Agreement) and not as an agent or fiduciary to the Company or any other person. Additionally, each Underwriter is not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of such matters, and no Underwriter shall have any responsibility

24

or liability to the Company or any other person with respect to such matters. Any review by an Underwriter of the Company, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other due diligence review by such Underwriter in connection with such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of such Underwriter and shall not be on behalf of the Company or any other person. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

16.  The Company irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company brought by Underwriters or by any person who controls the Underwriters, arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the Pricing Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and, to the extent permitted by law, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company irrevocably appoints Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., New York Branch, as its Authorized Agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based on this Agreement, the Pricing Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby which may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, by an Underwriter or by any person who controls an Underwriter, and the Company expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Company represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Company shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any suit, action or proceeding based on this Agreement may be instituted by the Underwriters in any competent court in Spain.

The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Paying Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses **** (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability and excluding taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Paying Agent) incurred by the Paying Agent that arises out of or in connection with its acting as Paying Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying Agent in reliance upon (A) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or (B) written instructions from the Issuer.

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

(ii) In acting under the Indenture and in connection with the SNP Securities, the Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the Holders of such SNP Securities.

(iii) The Paying Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the SNP Securities, any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(iv) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Issuer made or given by it under any provision of the Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by an authorized person of the Issuer.

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

(d) (i) The Paying Agent may at any time resign as Paying Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer, unless the Issuer agrees in writing to accept less notice. The Paying Agent may be removed by the Issuer (with or without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer by an authorized person thereof and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective, subject to the Company providing a copy of such notice to the Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the date of the appointment by the Issuer, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Paying Agent. If within 60 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Paying Agent has not been appointed, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent. A successor Paying Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer by an authorized person thereof and the successor Paying Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Paying Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Paying Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Paying Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder.

6

(ii) Any successor Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Paying Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Paying Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Paying Agent.

(iii) Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which the Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Paying Agent, or all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Issuer within 30 days of such merger, conversion, consolidation or sale.

Section 2.07. Security Certificates . (a) The SNP Securities shall initially be represented by one or more global certificates (the “Global Certificates”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A (attached hereto), which shall be deposited with a custodian for the Depository and the SNP Securities represented thereby will be registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository (initially Cede & Co.), for the accounts of participants in the Depository.

(b) SNP Securities represented by a Global Certificate may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only: (i) by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, (ii) by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or (iii) by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

(c) Beneficial interests in any SNP Securities represented by a Global Certificate will be exchangeable for SNP Securities represented by definitive certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) only if: (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer in writing that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue to act as Depository or that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, in either case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 60 days after the date of such notice from the Depository, (ii) the Issuer notifies the Trustee in writing that it has reasonably elected to cause the issuance of SNP Securities represented by Definitive Certificates or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities.

(d) Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.07(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, SNP Securities represented by Definitive Certificates shall be (i) delivered by the Trustee in exchange for beneficial interest in SNP Securities represented by Global Certificates and (ii) registered in such names, and issued in such authorized denominations, as shall be requested by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 2.08. Redemption and Purchase. (a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby), except for Section 11.10 thereof, will apply to the SNP Securities. Any such redemption or purchase shall be in compliance with Applicable Banking Regulations then in force and subject to the prior consent of the Regulator, if required pursuant to such regulations. The “Redemption Price” means, with respect to any SNP Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby), an amount equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon to (but excluding) the Redemption Date. The “Redemption Date” of any SNP Securities to be redeemed will be any day fixed by the Issuer for redemption of such SNP Securities and specified in the applicable notice of redemption provided by the Issuer pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Original

7

Indenture; provided, however, that in any case where the Redemption Date shall not be a Business Day, then the SNP Securities will not become due and payable and deposit of the Redemption Price will not be made on such Redemption Date, but the SNP Securities will become due and payable and deposit of the Redemption Price will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if the SNP Securities had become due and payable and the deposit of the Redemption Price had been made on the Redemption Date, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such Redemption Date or at such time for the period from and after such Redemption Date.

(b) All or part only of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if a Tax Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

(c) All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

(d) All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if, on or after the Issue Date, SNP Securities representing, in the aggregate, 75% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the SNP Securities (including, both in the numerator and the denominator, (i) any SNP Securities issued after the Issue Date, and (ii) any SNP Securities which have been cancelled by the Trustee following their surrender for cancellation in accordance with Section 11.12 of the Original Indenture) have been purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer or any member of the Group.

Section 2.09. Definitive Certificates and Authentication. Any Definitive Certificates issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the SNP Securities represented by Global Certificates pursuant to Section 2.07 of this First Supplemental Indenture or Section 2.03 of the Original Indenture shall be issued in the State of New York. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture or the SNP Securities, the SNP Securities, irrespective of whether they are represented by Global Certificates or Definitive Certificates, shall be issued and authenticated in New York.

Section 2.10. Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of Spanish Bail-in Power. **(**a) Notwithstanding any other term of the SNP Securities, the Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder, by its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder (which, for the purposes of this Section 2.10, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the SNP Securities) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by: (i) the exercise and effects 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 SNP Securities, and may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (1) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities; (2) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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 SNP Securities; (3) the cancellation of the SNP Securities; (4) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the SNP Securities or amendment of the amount of interest payable on the SNP Securities, or the date on which the interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the SNP Securities or the rights of Holders thereunder or under the 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.

(b) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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 SNP Securities 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

8

Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities or under the Indenture. By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder further acknowledges and agrees that no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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 SNP Securities, 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 SNP Securities. Additionally, by its acquisition of the SNP Securities, 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 SNP Securities: (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from the Holders with respect to any portion of the SNP Securities that is written down, converted to equity and/or cancelled under Section 5.12 of the Original Indenture; and (ii) the 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 SNP Securities, so long as any SNP Securities remain Outstanding, there shall at all times be a trustee for the SNP Securities in accordance with the Indenture, and the resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee shall continue to be governed by the Indenture, including to the extent no additional supplemental indenture or amendment is agreed upon in the event the SNP Securities remain Outstanding following the completion of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(d) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, directed and requested the Depository and any direct participant therein or other intermediary through which it holds such SNP Securities to take any and all necessary actions, if required, to implement the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP 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 SNP Securities, the Company or the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as the case may be) shall provide a written notice to the Depository as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power for purposes of notifying the Holders of such SNP Securities. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. No failure or delay by the Company to deliver a notice shall affect the validity or enforceability of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(f) If the Issuer has elected to redeem the SNP Securities 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 the SNP 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 (or any accrued interest and Additional Amounts payable under Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby)) will be due and payable.

(g) Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP Securities which results in the redemption, cancellation, or the conversion into other securities, of all the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities or such SNP Securities otherwise ceasing to be outstanding, the Indenture shall be deemed satisfied and discharged as to such series of SNP Securities and such SNP Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding”.

(h) Each Holder that acquires SNP Securities 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 the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders that acquire the SNP Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to this Section 2.10.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SECURITIES

  1. General. This security is one of a duly authorized issue of a series of senior non-preferred debt securities of the Company, designated as its 4.150% Senior Non-Preferred Fixed Rate Notes due 2029 (Bonos Simples No Preferentes Febrero2026-SEC-11) (referred to as the “SNP Securities”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02 of the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined below)) and issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of July 31, 2025 among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as trustee (together with any successor Trustee under the Indenture (as defined herein), the “Trustee”), transfer agent (together with any successor Transfer Agent under the Indenture, the “TransferAgent”) and paying agent (together with any successor Paying Agent under the Indenture, the “Paying Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as security registrar (together with any successor Security Registrar under the Indenture, the “Security Registrar”), as amended and supplemented prior to the issuance and authentication hereof by a supplemental indenture dated as of March 3, 2026 among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as Trustee, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Security Registrar (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture (as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture), the “Indenture”). The SNP Securities are subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, and such terms and conditions shall have effect as if incorporated herein. All capitalized terms used in this SNP Security but not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Indenture and shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. References herein to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision of the Base Indenture shall refer to any such Article, Section or other subdivision of the Base Indenture as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture. The holders of the SNP Securities (each a “Holder”) will be entitled to the benefits of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the SNP Securities and of the terms upon which the SNP Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. A copy of the Indenture is on file and may be inspected at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this SNP Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control.

The SNP Securities will initially be issued in the form of one or more global certificates representing the securities of this series in fully registered form without interest coupons (each a “Global Security”) deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for the Depository. The SNP Securities will not be issued in bearer form. The SNP Securities, and transfers thereof, shall be registered as provided in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture. Any person in whose name a SNP Security shall be registered may (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) be treated at all times, and for all purposes, by the Company and the Trustee as the absolute owner of such SNP Security, regardless of any notice of ownership, theft or loss or of any writing thereon.

  1. Principal and Interest. (a) The principal of the Outstanding SNP Securities shall be due and payable on March 3, 2029 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) or on such earlier date as the principal thereof may become due and payable in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) From (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption, the SNP Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.150% per annum.

The Company will pay interest in arrears on the SNP Securities semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date, up to (and including) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption.

Interest on the SNP Securities will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(c) Except as described below for the first Interest Payment Date, on each Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay interest on the SNP Securities for the period commencing on (and including) the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on (and including) the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date.

On the first Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay interest for the period beginning on (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) September 3, 2026.

Business Day” means any day, other than Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a Legal Holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the City of New York, London or Madrid.

If the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption of any SNP Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of principal and interest on the applicable SNP Security will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption.

Interest on each SNP Security will be paid only to the Person in whose name such SNP Security was registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the applicable Interest Payment Date.

  1. Additional Amounts. Any amounts to be paid by the Company with respect to each SNP Security shall be paid without withholding or deduction for or on account of any and all present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event any such withholding or deduction is imposed or levied in respect of payment of interest (but not principal or premium (if any)) by or on behalf of Spain or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power to tax, the Company will pay to the Holder such Additional Amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Holder of such SNP Security under the Indenture, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the amount of interest, if any, which would have been receivable by such Holder in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply:

(a) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner of the SNP Security for whose benefit such Holder holds such SNP Security) having some connection with Spain other than the mere holding of the SNP Security (or such beneficial interest) or the mere crediting of the SNP Security to its securities account with the relevant Depository;

(b) in the case of a SNP Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a Business Day in such place of presentment;

(c) in respect of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure by the Holder or beneficial owner of the SNP Security to comply with any certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the taxing jurisdiction of the Holder or beneficial owner of that SNP Security, if compliance is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of Spain or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to reduction of or relief or exemption from the Tax, assessment or other governmental charge; or

(d) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder if the Company does not receive any relevant information as may be required by Spanish tax laws and regulations (including any binding rulings), including a duly executed and completed Payment Statement from the Paying Agent.

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

No Additional Amounts will be paid by the Company, the Trustee or any paying agent on account of any withholding or deduction from a payment on, or in respect of, the SNP Securities where such withholding or

A-6

All or part only of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price at the option of the Company if a Tax Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities; provided that, if the Tax Event consists of the event described in prong (i) of the definition of “Tax Event”, no such notice to the Trustee of the redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to deduct or withhold tax or pay Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the SNP Securities then due.

Prior to any notice of redemption of the SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a), 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 the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a) have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(a) prevail.

(b) Redemption upon an Eligible Liabilities Event. All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price at the option of the Company if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs, on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

Prior to any notice of redemption of the SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(b), 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 the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(b) have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(b) prevail.

  1. Event of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to this SNP Security, means (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) that, except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph, an order shall have been made by any competent court commencing insolvency proceedings (procedimiento concursal) against the Company or an order of any competent court or administrative agency shall have been made or a resolution shall have been passed by the Company for the dissolution or winding up of the Company (except (i) in the case of a reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation or merger carried out in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture (in this case, even without being approved by an Act of the Holders of the SNP Securities) or (ii) in any such case for the purpose of a reconstruction or a consolidation or an amalgamation or a merger which has been approved by an Act of the Holders of the SNP Securities).

Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms or the Indenture, any Resolution or Early Intervention with respect to the Company shall not, in and of itself and without regard to any other fact or circumstance, constitute a default or an Event of Default under the immediately preceding paragraph or under any other provision in these

A-7

terms or the Indenture with respect to the SNP Securities. In addition, neither (i) a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due (as defined below) on the SNP Securities 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 (as defined below) by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as defined below) with respect to the Company, nor (ii) the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities, shall constitute an Event of Default or default under the Indenture or the SNP Securities or otherwise constitute non-performance of a contractual obligation, or entitle the Holders of the SNP Securities to any remedies, which are hereby expressly waived. In addition, no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, only an Event of Default (rather than any breach or default under the Indenture or the SNP Security) may give rise to a declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture.

  1. Substitution and Modification. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the SNP Securities shall, by virtue of its acquisition of the SNP Securities or any beneficial interest therein, be deemed to acknowledge, accept, consent to and agree to be bound by any substitution of or modification to the terms of the SNP Securities as set forth in Section 8.04 of the Base Indenture and to grant to the Company and the Trustee full power and authority to take any action and/or to execute and deliver any document in the name and/or on behalf of such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, which is necessary or convenient to complete the substitution of or modification to the terms of the SNP Securities, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the SNP Securities or the Indenture, the Spanish courts in the city of Madrid shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the SNP Securities or the Indenture arising out of, relating to or in connection with the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (a “Bail-in Dispute”) and accordingly each of the Company, the Trustee, each Holder and beneficial owner of any SNP Securities and each Agent submits, to the extent it may effectively do so, to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Spanish courts in relation to any Bail-in Dispute. Each of the Company, the Trustee, each Holder and beneficial owner of any SNP Securities and each Agent further irrevocably waives, to the extent it may effectively do so, any objection to the Spanish courts in the city of Madrid on the grounds that they are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum in respect of any Bail-in Dispute.

(c) The Paying Agent accepts its obligations set forth in the Indenture (including Section 6.16 of the Original Indenture), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, including the following, to all of which the Issuer agrees:

(i) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed in writing with the Issuer for all services rendered by the Paying Agent, and the Issuer promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer shall reasonably require. The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Paying Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses **** (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability and excluding taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Paying Agent) incurred by the Paying Agent that arises out of or in connection with its acting as Paying Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying Agent in reliance upon (A) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or (B) written instructions from the Issuer.

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

(ii) In acting under the Indenture and in connection with the SNP Securities, the Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the Holders of such SNP Securities.

(iii) The Paying Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the SNP Securities, any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(iv) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Issuer made or given by it under any provision of the Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by an authorized person of the Issuer.

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

(d) (i) The Paying Agent may at any time resign as Paying Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer, unless the Issuer agrees in writing to accept less notice. The Paying Agent may be removed by the Issuer (with or without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer by an authorized person thereof and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective, subject to the Company providing a copy of such notice to the Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the date of the appointment by the Issuer, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Paying Agent. If within 60 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Paying Agent has not been appointed, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent.

(iii) Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which the Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Paying Agent, or all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

(c) Beneficial interests in any SNP Securities represented by a Global Certificate will be exchangeable for SNP Securities represented by definitive certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) only if: (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer in writing that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue to act as Depository or that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, in either case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 60 days after the date of such notice from the Depository, (ii) the Issuer notifies the Trustee in writing that it has reasonably elected to cause the issuance of SNP Securities represented by Definitive Certificates or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities.

(d) Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.07(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, SNP Securities represented by Definitive Certificates shall be (i) delivered by the Trustee in exchange for beneficial interest in SNP Securities represented by Global Certificates and (ii) registered in such names, and issued in such authorized denominations, as shall be requested by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 2.08. Redemption and Purchase. (a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby), except for Section 11.10 thereof, will apply to the SNP Securities.

(b) All or part only of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if a Tax Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

(c) All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

(b) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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

8

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 SNP Securities 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 Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities or under the Indenture.

(c) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, 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 SNP Securities. Additionally, by its acquisition of the SNP Securities, 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 SNP Securities: (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from the Holders with respect to any portion of the SNP Securities that is written down, converted to equity and/or cancelled under Section 5.12 of the Original Indenture; and (ii) the 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 SNP Securities, so long as any SNP Securities remain Outstanding, there shall at all times be a trustee for the SNP Securities in accordance with the Indenture, and the resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee shall continue to be governed by the Indenture, including to the extent no additional supplemental indenture or amendment is agreed upon in the event the SNP Securities remain Outstanding following the completion of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(d) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, directed and requested the Depository and any direct participant therein or other intermediary through which it holds such SNP Securities to take any and all necessary actions, if required, to implement the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP 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 SNP Securities, the Company or the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as the case may be) shall provide a written notice to the Depository as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power for purposes of notifying the Holders of such SNP Securities. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. No failure or delay by the Company to deliver a notice shall affect the validity or enforceability of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(f) If the Issuer has elected to redeem the SNP Securities 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 the SNP 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 (or any accrued interest and Additional Amounts payable under Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby)) will be due and payable.

(g) Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP Securities which results in the redemption, cancellation, or the conversion into other securities, of all the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities or such SNP Securities otherwise ceasing to be outstanding, the Indenture shall be deemed satisfied and discharged as to such series of SNP Securities and such SNP Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding”.

(h) Each Holder that acquires SNP Securities 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 the Indenture to the

9

same extent as the Holders that acquire the SNP Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to this Section 2.10.

(a) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner of the SNP Security for whose benefit such Holder holds such SNP Security) having some connection with Spain other than the mere holding of the SNP Security (or such beneficial interest) or the mere crediting of the SNP Security to its securities account with the relevant Depository;

(b) in the case of a SNP Security presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a Business Day in such place of presentment;

No Additional Amounts will be paid by the Company, the Trustee or any paying agent on account of any withholding or deduction from a payment on, or in respect of, the SNP Securities where such withholding or

Prior to any notice of redemption of the SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a), 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 the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a) have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(a) prevail.

(b) Redemption upon an Eligible Liabilities Event. All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price at the option of the Company if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs, on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

Prior to any notice of redemption of the SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(b), 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 the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(b) have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(b) prevail.

  1. Event of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to this SNP Security, means (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) that, except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph, an order shall have been made by any competent court commencing insolvency proceedings (procedimiento concursal) against the Company or an order of any competent court or administrative agency shall have been made or a resolution shall have been passed by the Company for the dissolution or winding up of the Company (except (i) in the case of a reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation or merger carried out in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture (in this case, even without being approved by an Act of the Holders of the SNP Securities) or (ii) in any such case for the purpose of a reconstruction or a consolidation or an amalgamation or a merger which has been approved by an Act of the Holders of the SNP Securities).

Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms or the Indenture, any Resolution or Early Intervention with respect to the Company shall not, in and of itself and without regard to any other fact or circumstance, constitute a default or an Event of Default under the immediately preceding paragraph or under any other provision in these

A-7

terms or the Indenture with respect to the SNP Securities. In addition, neither (i) a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due (as defined below) on the SNP Securities 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 (as defined below) by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as defined below) with respect to the Company, nor (ii) the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the SNP Securities, shall constitute an Event of Default or default under the Indenture or the SNP Securities or otherwise constitute non-performance of a contractual obligation, or entitle the Holders of the SNP Securities to any remedies, which are hereby expressly waived. In addition, no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, only an Event of Default (rather than any breach or default under the Indenture or the SNP Security) may give rise to a declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture.

  1. Substitution and Modification. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the SNP Securities shall, by virtue of its acquisition of the SNP Securities or any beneficial interest therein, be deemed to acknowledge, accept, consent to and agree to be bound by any substitution of or modification to the terms of the SNP Securities as set forth in Section 8.04 of the Base Indenture and to grant to the Company and the Trustee full power and authority to take any action and/or to execute and deliver any document in the name and/or on behalf of such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, which is necessary or convenient to complete the substitution of or modification to the terms of the SNP Securities, as applicable.

ARTICLE 2

SNP SECURITIES

Section 2.01. Creation of SNP Securities. There is hereby created a new series of senior non-preferred debt securities, the SNP Securities, to be issued under the Indenture. The SNP Securities will be issued at 100% of their principal amount by means of the public deed of issuance executed on February 24, 2026 and registered with the Commercial Registry of Vizcaya (Registro Mercantil de Vizcaya) on March 2, 2026.

Section 2.02. Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount of SNP Securities. The aggregate principal amount of the SNP Securities shall initially be limited to $500,000,000 (except as otherwise provided in the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby)). The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of SNP Securities, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as the previously issued SNP Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, the original interest accrual date and/or the issue price), so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Outstanding SNP Securities; provided, however, that any such further issuance will only be made if either such additional securities are issued with no more than deminimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any such further issuance is a “qualified reopening” as such term is defined under U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(k)(3) promulgated under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Section 2.03. Payment of Principal. The principal of the Outstanding SNP Securities shall be due and payable on the Stated Maturity Date or on such earlier date as the principal thereof may become due and payable in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 2.04. Interest and Interest Rate. **** (a) The SNP Securities will bear interest from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption at a rate per annum equal to the Compounded SOFR plus a margin of 88 basis points (the “Floating Interest Rate”), subject to a minimum interest rate of 0.000%. Interest on the SNP Securities shall be determined five U.S. Government Securities Business Days before each Interest Payment Date.

(b) The Issuer will pay interest in arrears on the SNP Securities quarterly on March 3, June 3, September 3 and December 3 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 3, 2026, up to (and including) the Stated Maturity Date or any date of earlier redemption; provided that if any scheduled Interest Payment Date, other than the scheduled Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will

8

be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the scheduled final Interest Payment Date (i.e., the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption) falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Issuer will pay any interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption of the SNP Securities, as applicable, on the next succeeding Business Day, but the final Interest Payment Date will not be postponed and interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled final Interest Payment Date.

(c) Each interest period on the SNP Securities will begin on (and include) an Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the first interest period, the Issue Date) and end on (but exclude) the following Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the final interest period, the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption) (each such interest period, an “Interest Period”). The amount of interest accrued and payable on the SNP Securities for each Interest Period will be equal to the product of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the SNP Securities multiplied by (ii) the product of (a) the Floating Interest Rate for the relevant Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Period divided by 360.

(d) Interest on each SNP Security will be paid only to the Person in whose name such SNP Security was registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(e) If the Issuer or its designee determines on or prior to the relevant SOFR Determination Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR, then the provisions set forth in Section 2.04(f) below will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the SNP Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with such benchmark replacement provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest payable for each Interest Period on the SNP Securities will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement and the applicable margin.

(f) If the Issuer or its designee determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred in respect of the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the SNP Securities in respect of all determinations on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time. No such change shall affect the Trustee’s or the Calculation Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise without their consent.

Any determination, decision, election or calculation that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to the provisions set forth in this section, including any determination with respect to a rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the SNP Securities, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the SNP Securities or any other party, including the beneficial owners of such SNP Securities.

In no event shall the Calculation Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent be responsible for making any such determination, decision, election or calculation; or have any responsibility to determine whether any manifest error has occurred, and, in the absence of notice from the Issuer, may conclusively assume that no manifest error exists and shall suffer no liability in so assuming.

None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent (unless the Issuer is acting in such capacity) shall be under any obligation to: (i) monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of Compounded SOFR or SOFR, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been satisfied, (iii) select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or

9

(iv) determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, adjustments as to any alternative spread thereon, the business day convention, interest determination dates or any other relevant methodology applicable to such substitute or successor benchmark.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent be required to act as the Issuer’s designee for the purposes of determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, selecting any Benchmark Replacement or determining any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment unless such Trustee, Paying Agent or Calculation Agent agrees to such appointment in writing.

In connection with the foregoing, each of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determinations made by the Issuer or its designee without independent investigation, and none will have any liability for actions taken at the Issuer’s direction in connection therewith.

None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Third Supplemental Indenture as a result of the unavailability of SOFR, Compounded SOFR or other applicable Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any failure, inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Third Supplemental Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be responsible or liable for the Issuer’s actions or omissions or for those of the Issuer’s designee, or for any failure or delay in the performance by the Issuer or its designee, nor shall any of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent be under any obligation to oversee or monitor the Issuer’s performance or that of the Issuer’s designee. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the liability of the designee for its actions or omissions if such designee is the same legal person as, or a related party to, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent.

Section 2.05. Denominations, Minimum Purchase Amount. The SNP Securities may be issued in minimum denominations of $200,000 with increments of $200,000 thereafter.

Section 2.06. Calculation Agent. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Issuer hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as its initial Calculation Agent under the Indenture for the purpose of calculating the interest rates on the SNP Securities in the manner and at the times provided in Section 2.04 of this Third Supplemental Indenture, and the Calculation Agent hereby accepts such appointment as the Issuer’s agent. No amendment to the provisions of the SNP Securities relating to the duties or obligations of the Calculation Agent hereunder may become effective without the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall exercise due care to determine the interest rates on the SNP Securities and shall communicate the same to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Depository, the Paying Agent and any other paying agent identified to it in writing as soon as practicable after each determination. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of any SNP Security, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to such SNP Security.

(c) The Calculation Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer agrees:

(i) The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed upon in writing with the Issuer for all services rendered by the Calculation Agent, and the Issuer promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Calculation Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer shall reasonably require. The Issuer also agrees to indemnify the Calculation Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim (regardless of who asserts such claim) of liability and excluding taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Calculation Agent) incurred by the

10

Calculation Agent that arises out of or in connection with its accepting appointment as, or acting as, Calculation Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith **** of the Calculation Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Calculation Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Calculation Agent in reliance upon (1) the written opinion or advice of non-legal professional advisors reasonably satisfactory to it and upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer **** or (2) written instructions from the Issuer. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information used in good faith and with due care to calculate any interest rate hereunder. The provisions of this section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent and the termination of this Third Supplemental Indenture.

(ii) In acting under this Third Supplemental Indenture and in connection with the SNP Securities, the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the owners or Holders of the SNP Securities.

(iii) The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the SNP Securities, any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(iv) The Calculation Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become the owners of, or acquire any interest in, any SNP Securities, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Calculation Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer as freely as if it were not the Calculation Agent.

(v) Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Issuer for any act or omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or them, except in the case of its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(vii) The Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Third Supplemental Indenture against the Calculation Agent.

(viii) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Issuer made or given by it under any provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by any authorized person of the Issuer.

(ix) The Calculation Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; provided that the Calculation Agent shall remain liable for the performance of its duties hereunder.

(x) In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Calculation Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

11

(xi) In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Third Supplemental Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

(d) The Calculation Agent may at any time resign as Calculation Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer, unless the Issuer agrees to accept less notice. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer (with or without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Issuer, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent. If within 30 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed, the Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Calculation Agent. A successor Calculation Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and the successor Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Calculation Agent so succeeded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder and to the payment of all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

(e) Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Calculation Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

(f) Any Person into which the Calculation Agent may be merged, or any corporation with which the Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation or to which the Calculation Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets or business shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Calculation Agent under this Third Supplemental Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Issuer and the Trustee.

(g) In the event of any conflict relating to the rights or obligations of the Calculation Agent in connection with the calculation of the interest rate on the SNP Securities, the relevant terms of this Third Supplemental Indenture shall govern such rights and obligations.

Section 2.07. Paying Agent. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Issuer hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch as the initial Paying Agent under the Indenture for the purpose of performing the functions of the Paying Agent with respect to the SNP Securities, and the Paying Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

(b) The Paying Agent shall exercise due care in performing the functions of the Paying Agent for the SNP Securities.

12

(c) The Paying Agent accepts its obligations set forth in the Indenture (including Section 6.16 of the Original Indenture), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, including the following, to all of which the Issuer agrees:

(i) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed in writing with the Issuer for all services rendered by the Paying Agent, and the Issuer promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer shall reasonably require. The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Paying Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses **** (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability and excluding taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Paying Agent) incurred by the Paying Agent that arises out of or in connection with its acting as Paying Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Paying Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Paying Agent in reliance upon (A) the written opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuer or (B) written instructions from the Issuer.

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

(ii) In acting under the Indenture and in connection with the SNP Securities, the Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligations to, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any of the Holders of such SNP Securities.

(iii) The Paying Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the SNP Securities, any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(iv) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Issuer made or given by it under any provision of the Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by an authorized person of the Issuer.

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

(d) (i) The Paying Agent may at any time resign as Paying Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be earlier than 60 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer, unless the Issuer agrees in writing to accept less notice. The Paying Agent may be removed by the Issuer (with or without cause) at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer by an authorized person thereof and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective, subject to the Company providing a copy of such notice to the Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the date of the appointment by the Issuer, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Paying Agent. If within 60 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Paying Agent has not been appointed, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent.

13

A successor Paying Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer by an authorized person thereof and the successor Paying Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Paying Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Paying Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Paying Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder.

(ii) Any successor Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Issuer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Paying Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such successor Paying Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Paying Agent.

(iii) Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which the Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Paying Agent, or all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Paying Agent under the Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Issuer within 30 days of such merger, conversion, consolidation or sale.

Section 2.08. Security Certificates . (a) The SNP Securities shall initially be represented by one or more global certificates (the “Global Certificates”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A (attached hereto), which shall be deposited with a custodian for the Depository and the SNP Securities represented thereby will be registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository (initially Cede & Co.), for the accounts of participants in the Depository.

(b) SNP Securities represented by a Global Certificate may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only: (i) by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, (ii) by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or (iii) by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

(c) Beneficial interests in any SNP Securities represented by a Global Certificate will be exchangeable for SNP Securities represented by definitive certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) only if: (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer in writing that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue to act as Depository or that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, in either case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 60 days after the date of such notice from the Depository, (ii) the Issuer notifies the Trustee in writing that it has reasonably elected to cause the issuance of SNP Securities represented by Definitive Certificates or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities.

(d) Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.08(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, SNP Securities represented by Definitive Certificates shall be (i) delivered by the Trustee in exchange for beneficial interest in SNP Securities represented by Global Certificates and (ii) registered in such names, and issued in such authorized denominations, as shall be requested by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 2.09. Redemption and Purchase. (a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby), except for Section 11.10 thereof, will apply to the SNP Securities. Any such redemption or purchase shall be in compliance with Applicable Banking Regulations then in force and subject to the prior consent of the Regulator, if required pursuant to such regulations. The “Redemption Price” means, with respect to any SNP Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as

14

amended and supplemented hereby), an amount equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon to (but excluding) the Redemption Date. The “Redemption Date” of any SNP Securities to be redeemed will be any day fixed by the Issuer for redemption of such SNP Securities and specified in the applicable notice of redemption provided by the Issuer pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Original Indenture; provided, however, that in any case where the Redemption Date shall not be a Business Day, then the SNP Securities will not become due and payable and deposit of the Redemption Price will not be made on such Redemption Date, but the SNP Securities will become due and payable and deposit of the Redemption Price will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if the SNP Securities had become due and payable and the deposit of the Redemption Price had been made on the Redemption Date, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such Redemption Date or at such time for the period from and after such Redemption Date.

(b) All or part only of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if a Tax Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

(c) All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if an Eligible Liabilities Event occurs on or after the Issue Date of the SNP Securities.

(d) All (but not less than all) of the SNP Securities may be redeemed at the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) at the option of the Issuer if, on or after the Issue Date, SNP Securities representing, in the aggregate, 75% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the SNP Securities (including, both in the numerator and the denominator, (i) any SNP Securities issued after the Issue Date, and (ii) any SNP Securities which have been cancelled by the Trustee following their surrender for cancellation in accordance with Section 11.12 of the Original Indenture) have been purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer or any member of the Group.

Section 2.10. Definitive Certificates and Authentication. Any Definitive Certificates issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the SNP Securities represented by Global Certificates pursuant to Section 2.08 of this Third Supplemental Indenture or Section 2.03 of the Original Indenture shall be issued in the State of New York. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture or the SNP Securities, the SNP Securities, irrespective of whether they are represented by Global Certificates or Definitive Certificates, shall be issued and authenticated in New York.

Section 2.11. Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of Spanish Bail-in Power. **(**a) Notwithstanding any other term of the SNP Securities, the Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the Company and any Holder, by its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder (which, for the purposes of this Section 2.11, includes each holder of a beneficial interest in the SNP Securities) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by: (i) the exercise and effects 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 SNP Securities, and may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (1) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities; (2) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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 SNP Securities; (3) the cancellation of the SNP Securities; (4) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the SNP Securities or amendment of the amount of interest payable on the SNP Securities, or the date on which the interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the SNP Securities or the rights of Holders thereunder or under the 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.

(b) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither a reduction or cancellation, in part or in full, of the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities 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

15

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 SNP Securities 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 Event of Default with respect to the SNP Securities or under the Indenture.

(c) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, 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 SNP Securities. Additionally, by its acquisition of the SNP Securities, 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 SNP Securities: (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from the Holders with respect to any portion of the SNP Securities that is written down, converted to equity and/or cancelled under Section 5.12 of the Original Indenture; and (ii) the 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 SNP Securities, so long as any SNP Securities remain Outstanding, there shall at all times be a trustee for the SNP Securities in accordance with the Indenture, and the resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee shall continue to be governed by the Indenture, including to the extent no additional supplemental indenture or amendment is agreed upon in the event the SNP Securities remain Outstanding following the completion of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(d) By its acquisition of the SNP Securities, each Holder shall be deemed to have authorized, directed and requested the Depository and any direct participant therein or other intermediary through which it holds such SNP Securities to take any and all necessary actions, if required, to implement the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP 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 SNP Securities, the Company or the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as the case may be) shall provide a written notice to the Depository as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power for purposes of notifying the Holders of such SNP Securities. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. No failure or delay by the Company to deliver a notice shall affect the validity or enforceability of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power.

(f) If the Issuer has elected to redeem the SNP Securities 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 the SNP 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 (or any accrued interest and Additional Amounts payable under Article 11 of the Original Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby)) will be due and payable.

(g) Upon the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power with respect to the SNP Securities which results in the redemption, cancellation, or the conversion into other securities, of all the Amounts Due on the SNP Securities or such SNP Securities otherwise ceasing to be outstanding, the Indenture shall be deemed satisfied and discharged as to such series of SNP Securities and such SNP Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding”.

(h) Each Holder that acquires SNP Securities 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 the Indenture to the

16

same extent as the Holders that acquire the SNP Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to this Section 2.11.

Prior to any notice of redemption of the SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a), 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 the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to redeem such SNP Securities pursuant to this paragraph 4(a) have been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(a) prevail.

Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms or the Indenture, any Resolution or Early Intervention with respect to the Company shall not, in and of itself and without regard to any other fact or circumstance, constitute a default or an Event of Default under the immediately preceding paragraph or under any other provision in these terms or the Indenture with respect to the SNP Securities.

In addition, no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the SNP Securities shall become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power

A-8

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.

For the avoidance of doubt, only an Event of Default (rather than any breach or default under the Indenture or the SNP Security) may give rise to a declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture.

  1. Substitution and Modification.

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., a sociedad an ó nima organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-289121) (the “Registration Statement”), and the related Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain securities, including $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.150% senior non-preferred fixed rate notes due 2029 (the “2029 Fixed Rate Notes”), $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.127% senior non-preferred fixed rate notes due 2036 (the “2036 Fixed Rate Notes”) **** and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior non-preferred floating rate notes due 2029 (the “2029 Floating Rate Notes” and each of the 2029 Fixed Rate Notes, the 2036 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2029 Floating Rate Notes a “series of Securities” and together the “Securities”).

Each series of Securities is to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Senior Non-Preferred Debt Securities Indenture dated as of July 31, 2025 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting (except with respect to its role as security registrar) through its London Branch, as trustee, security registrar, transfer agent and paying agent, as amended and supplemented, with respect to the 2029 Fixed Rate Notes, by the first supplemental indenture dated as of March 3, 2026 (the “2029 Fixed Rate Notes Supplemental Indenture”), with respect to the 2036 Fixed Rate Notes, by the second supplemental indenture dated as of March 3, 2026 (the “2036 Fixed Rate Notes Supplemental Indenture”), and with respect to the 2029 Floating Rate Notes, by the third supplemental indenture dated as of March 3, 2026 (the “2029 Floating Rate NotesSupplemental Indenture”, and each of the 2029 Fixed Rate Notes Supplemental Indenture, the 2036 Fixed Rate Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2029 Floating Rate Notes Supplemental Indenture, a “SupplementalIndenture”), under which The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, has also agreed to act as calculation agent. The Base Indenture, as so amended and supplemented by the applicable Supplemental Indenture with respect to the relevant series of Securities, is hereinafter referred to as an “Indenture.” The Securities are to be sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) incorporated by reference in the Pricing Agreement dated February 23, 2026 (together with the Underwriting Agreement, the “Pricing Agreement”) among the Company and the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”).

We, as your special U.S. counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all documents filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system (except for required EDGAR formatting changes) conform to the versions of such documents reviewed by us prior to such formatting (iv) all signatures on all

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.

documents that we reviewed are genuine, (v) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (vi) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vii) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate**.**

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion, assuming that the Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Pricing Agreement, the Securities (other than the terms thereof expressed to be governed by Spanish law, as to which we express no opinion) will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and subject to possible judicial or regulatory actions giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights, provided that we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that permits holders to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the Securities to the extent determined to constitute unearned interest.

In connection with the opinion expressed above, we have assumed that the Company is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain. In addition, we have assumed that the Indentures and the Securities (collectively, the “Documents”) are valid, binding and enforceable agreements of each party thereto. We have also assumed that the execution, delivery and performance by each party to each Document to which it is a party (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the bylaws or other constitutive documents of such party, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law, regulation or public policy or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon such party.

We express no opinion as to (i) any provisions in the Indentures that purport to waive objections to venue, claims that a particular jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum or the like, (ii) whether a United States federal court would have subject-matter or personal jurisdiction over a controversy arising under the Indentures or the Securities or (iii) the effectiveness of any service of process made other than in accordance with applicable law.

We express no opinion as to (i) whether a New York State or United States federal court would render or enforce a judgment in a currency other than U.S. Dollars or enforce the exclusivity of the jurisdiction of the Spanish courts in the city of Madrid or waivers of holders and owners of Securities provided for in the Indentures and the Securities for the purposes described therein or (ii) the exchange rate that such a court would use in rendering a judgment in U.S. Dollars in respect of an obligation in any other currency. Further, we express no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provisions of applicable law on the opinions expressed above.

We note that the choice-of-law provisions of the Indentures and the Securities, as applicable, are expressed to select Spanish law as the governing law for certain matters related to the Indentures and the Securities, including the authorization and execution of the Indentures, the authorization, issuance and execution of the Securities and certain provisions of the Indentures and the Securities related to the status and ranking of the Securities, the waiver of rights of set-off and the Spanish Bail-in Power (as such term is defined therein). We also note that the submission-to-jurisdiction provisions of the Indentures and the Securities, as applicable, are expressed to provide that the Spanish courts in the city of Madrid shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities or the Indentures arising out of, relating to or in connection with the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as such terms are defined therein).

We also express no opinion with respect to Section 8.04 of the Base Indenture, the Section entitled “Substitution andModification” of each series of Securities or any provision of the Indentures or the Securities relating to the Spanish Bail-in Power (as such term is defined therein).

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America, except that we express no opinion as to (i) any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company or the Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate or (ii) any law, rule or regulation relating to national security. Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, we have relied, without independent inquiry or investigation, on the opinion of J&A Garrigues, S.L.P., Spanish legal counsel for the Company, dated as of March 3, 2026, to be filed as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K to be filed by the Company on the date hereof, and our opinion is subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth therein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K to be filed by the Company on the date hereof and its incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our name under the caption “Validity of the Securities” in the prospectus supplement which is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.

Very truly yours,

liquidator, administrator or receiver or analogous person under the laws of Spain has been appointed over all or any of<br>the Issuer’s assets. To the best of our knowledge and based on the information available at the online Public Register of Insolvency Decisions (www.publicidadconcursal.es), no notice of commencement of<br>insolvency proceedings has been filed in respect of the Issuer.

--- ---

--- ---
(iv) The execution and delivery of the Agreements, the Public Deeds and the Notes and the consummation of the transactions<br>therein contemplated and compliance with the terms thereof do not conflict with or result in a breach of:

(d) the principles of public policy (orden público) as these are construed in Spain as of the date of this<br>opinion.
--- ---
5. Qualifications
--- ---

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

(i) We do not give any opinion with respect to any laws other than the laws of the Spanish legal system in force as of the<br>present date. J&A Garrigues, S.L.P. acts as a Spanish law firm and does not deliver opinions in respect of any law other than Spanish law. Accordingly, this opinion is confined to Spanish law only as currently in force and as construed in Spain.<br>
(ii) Our opinion is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, temporary receivership, insolvency, reorganization,<br>administration, moratorium or similar laws (including but not limited to eventual fraudulent transactions and the preference of creditors) and other Spanish law provisions generally affecting the rights of creditors (including the application of a<br>claw-back period), as well as to any principles of public policy (orden público).

It should be noted that according to Articles 12.3 (related to the non-<br>application of foreign laws contrary to public policy) and 12.4 of Royal Decree of 24 July 1889 publishing the Civil Code (Real Decreto de 24 de julio de 1889 por el que se publica el Código Civil) (the “Spanish CivilCode”) (whereby fraud of law will be considered when a conflict of law rule is used for the purpose of avoiding the application of a mandatory Spanish law) and related legislation, the laws other than those of Spain would not be applied by<br>Spanish courts if submission to such laws is deemed to have been made in order to avoid the application of mandatory Spanish laws, or to be contrary to public policy.
(iii) The term “enforceable” means that the obligations assumed by the relevant party under the Agreements, the<br>Public Deeds and the Notes are of a type that the Spanish courts would enforce and it does not mean that those obligations will be necessarily enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms.
--- ---
a. Enforceability may be qualified by having regard to the general principle of good faith. In connection to this, the<br>Spanish courts may not accept the enforcement of a contractual obligation if they hold that a certain right has not been exercised in good faith or has been exercised as an abuse of the law (abuso de derecho). Likewise, in conformity<br>with Article 6.4 of the Spanish Civil Code, acts performed pursuant to the wording of a provision and pursuing a result prohibited by or contrary to the law will be deemed to have been performed in circumvention of law (fraude de ley)<br>and will not prevent the application of the provision sought to be avoided. Accordingly, Spanish courts may refuse to uphold the termination of an agreement based on an unreasonable, inequitable or bad faith interpretation of one of its events of<br>default.
--- ---
b. Spanish law precludes an agreement from being terminated based on the breach of obligations, undertakings or covenants<br>which are merely ancillary or supplementary to the main undertakings of the relevant agreements and allows Spanish courts not to enforce any such termination.
--- ---
c. Spanish law rules out any contractual obligations whose validity is left at the discretion of one of the contracting<br>parties. Therefore, Spanish courts may refuse to uphold and enforce terms and conditions of an agreement giving discretionary authority to one of the contracting parties.
--- ---
d. A Spanish court may issue an award of damages where specific performance is deemed impracticable.<br>
--- ---
e. Spanish law limits the enforcement of fixed-penalty provisions contained in agreements, allowing Spanish courts to<br>reduce the amount of the penalty payable when the main obligation has been partially or irregularly performed by the obligor.
--- ---

7

LOGO

f. The exercise of the rights arising from the relevant document and the enforcement thereof is limited by the applicable<br>statute of limitations.
g. A counterparty can oppose to the enforcement of any right in rem before the relevant courts and obtain a<br>suspension, a different enforcement procedure to the ones agreed upon in the relevant agreement or even a dismissal of the enforcement action.
--- ---
h. In order for certain legal rights to be enforced in Spain, certain formalities must be met (e.g. notarization of the<br>document providing for such legal rights and the apostille of the 1961 Hague Convention).
--- ---
i. A certified translation into Spanish by a sworn translator of any document not executed in Spanish will be required to<br>make such document admissible in evidence in Spain.
--- ---
j. Private documents provide full evidence in trial of the terms set forth therein provided that their authenticity is<br>not contested by the party which may be harmed by them. Where the authenticity of a private document is contested, the party submitting such document may seek an expert’s authentication of handwriting or any other means of proof.<br>
--- ---
k. In accordance with the general principles of Spanish civil procedural law (Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil), the<br>rules of evidence in any judicial proceeding cannot be modified by agreement of the parties. Accordingly, provisions in an agreement in which determinations by a party are to be deemed to be conclusive may not be upheld by a Spanish court. A<br>determination, designation, calculation or certificate of one party as to any matter provided in an agreement might, in certain circumstances, be held by a Spanish court not to be final, conclusive and binding, if it could be shown to have an<br>unreasonable or arbitrary basis or in the event of manifest error despite any provision in the relevant agreement to the contrary.
--- ---
(iv) Where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Spain, they may not be enforceable in Spain to the<br>extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.
--- ---
(v) According to Article 3.2 of Law 29/2015, the Spanish Government may establish that the Spanish authorities will not<br>cooperate with another state’s authorities when there has been a reiterated refusal of cooperation or there exists a legal prohibition precluding such cooperation by such other state’s authorities.
--- ---
(vi) Spanish law does not allow leaving the validity and performance of contractual obligations at the discretion of one of<br>the contracting parties. Therefore, a Spanish court may not uphold or enforce terms and conditions in the Agreements, the Notes and the Public Deeds giving discretionary authority to one of the parties.

(vii) Except where otherwise expressly stated in this opinion, we have not made any independent verification of any factual<br>matters disclosed to us in the course of our examination for the purposes of rendering this opinion. We have relied as to factual matters on the documents and the information furnished to us by BBVA. It should be understood that we have not been<br>responsible for investigating or verifying the accuracy of facts or statements of foreign law, or the reasonableness of any statements of opinion, expectation, intention or belief contained in or represented by or in connection to the Issuer in the<br>Registration Statement and the Disclosure Package insofar as they are not related to Spanish law or taxation or that no material facts have been omitted therefrom or the existence of any omission to state a material fact necessary to make the<br>statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, insofar as they are not related to Spanish law or taxation.
(viii) No opinion is expressed as to the financial or economical ability of the Issuer or out of or in connection with its<br>obligations under the Notes and/or the Agreements.
--- ---
(ix) A Spanish court might not enforce any provision of the Agreements, the Public Deeds and/or the Notes which requires<br>any party thereto to pay any amounts on the grounds that such provision is a penalty within the meaning of Articles 1,152 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Code, as the court could consider said amounts evidently excessive as a pre-estimate of damages, in case of partial or non-regular compliance of the debtor. In this event, the Court may reduce the amount of damages, pursuant to Article 1,154 of<br>the Spanish Civil Code.
--- ---
(x) Spanish courts have exclusive jurisdiction, inter alia, with respect to matters relating to the incorporation,<br>validity, nullity and dissolution of companies or legal entities domiciled in the Spanish territory, and to any decisions and resolutions of their corporate bodies, as well as with respect to the validity or nullity of any recordings with a Spanish<br>register, and the recognition and enforcement in Spain of any judgment or arbitration award obtained in a foreign country.
--- ---
(xi) Claims may be or become subject to defenses of set-off or counter-claim.<br>
--- ---
(xii) A waiver of all defenses to any proceedings may not be enforceable.
--- ---

mayo, por el que se aprueba el texto refundido de la ley concursal), as amended from time to time, the<br>declaration of insolvency of a debtor does not by itself affect the effectiveness of contracts with reciprocal outstanding obligations. Any outstanding obligations arising from said contracts, which the insolvency judge does not terminate, shall be<br>paid from the insolvency estate (masa activa).
(xv) Contract provisions that grant a party the right to terminate a contract in the event of insolvency are void.<br>

(xvii) The fact that the powers of the Trustee to act on behalf of the holders result from the Indenture may cause certain<br>delays in the process of enforcement of the Notes before the Spanish courts.
