(c) SPANISH LIMITATION LANGUAGE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture: (i) the Additional Notes Guarantee by the Spanish Additional Guarantor under the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture shall not include or guarantee any obligations or liabilities to the extent that such inclusion would entail a breach of the financial assistance regulation under Spanish Law (in particular, but without limitation, under article 143 of the Spanish Capital Companies Law (Ley de Sociedades de Capital, as amended from time to time)); and (ii) the maximum amount guaranteed by a Spanish Additional Guarantor under the Additional Notes Guarantee pursuant to the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture shall be the lesser of twice (2x) the following amounts: (a) the amount of the net worth (patrimonio neto) of the relevant Spanish Additional Guarantor or (b) the amount of the net equity (fondos propios) of the relevant Spanish Additional Guarantor; both in accordance with the latest financial statements (audited, if applicable) of such Spanish Guarantor available at the date of this Supplemental Indenture.

3.    NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.

Each Holder by accepting a Senior Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Senior Notes.
4.    THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE SENIOR NOTES AND THE ADDITIONAL NOTES GUARANTEES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
5.    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, related to, or in connection with the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture, the Senior Notes and the Additional Notes Guarantees or the transactions contemplated hereby, and any action arising under U.S. federal or state securities laws, may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court located in the State and City of New York, Borough of Manhattan; irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding; and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer and each of the Additional Guarantors has appointed CT Corporation System,

The Issuer and each of the Additional Guarantors expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto and waives any right to trial by jury. Such appointment shall be irrevocable unless and until replaced by an agent reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The Issuer and each of the Additional Guarantors represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Issuer 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.
