THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA (herein called the “Issuer” or the “Republic”), for value received, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [•] (the “Principal Amount”) IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS (U.S.$[•]) on September 29, 2032 (the “Stated Maturity”); and to pay interest thereon from September 29, 2020, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on March 29 and September 29 of each year, commencing March 29, 2021 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of 2.252% per annum, until the aggregate Principal Amount is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Fiscal Agency Agreement hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person (the “registered holder”) in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on March 14 or September 14 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be (each a “Regular Record Date”), next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on such Regular Record Date and may either (i) be paid to the person in whose name this Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such interest to be fixed by the Issuer, notice whereof shall be given to registered holders of Securities of this Series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or (ii) be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this Series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

Payment of the principal hereof and of any premium on this Security shall be made against surrender of this Security, and payments of interest and principal on this Security shall be made, in accordance with the foregoing and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by check mailed on or before the due date for such payment to the person entitled thereto at such person’s address appearing on the aforementioned register or, in the case of payments of principal and any premium to such other address as the registered holder may specify upon such surrender; provided, however, that any payments shall be made, in the case of a registered holder of at least U.S.$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by transfer to an account denominated in U.S. dollars maintained by the payee with a bank if such registered holder so elects by giving notice to the Fiscal Agent, not less than 15 days (or such fewer days as the Fiscal Agent may accept at its discretion) prior to the date of the payments to be obtained, of such election and of the account to which payments are to be made. The Issuer

1. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series in accordance with a Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of September 26, 1997, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of September 4, 2003, by Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of February 13, 2015, and by Amendment No. 3, thereto, dated as of October 26, 2016, as the same may be further amended from time to time (herein called the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon (successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as Fiscal Agent (herein called the “Fiscal Agent”, which term includes any successor fiscal agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement), copies of which Fiscal Agency Agreement are on file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in The City of New York and, for so long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such Exchange shall so require, at the office of the Paying Agent hereinafter named in Luxembourg. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$1,250,000,000 or its equivalent in another currency or composite currency outstanding at any one time (which amount may be increased at the option of the Issuer if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this Series, subject to Paragraph 15 below). The Securities are Equal Ranking Securities and Aggregated Collective Action Securities under the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

The Securities are direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and general obligations of the Issuer and will rank without any preference among themselves. The Securities rank and will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Public Indebtedness of the Issuer. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Issuer to make payments under the Securities ratably with payments being made under any other Public Indebtedness. Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph, the Securities shall be unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The full faith and credit of the Republic of Panama is pledged for the due and punctual payment of all the Securities and for the due and timely payment of all obligations of the Issuer in respect thereof.

The Issuer undertakes that so long as any Securities remain outstanding, it shall not create or permit to subsist any Lien (as defined below) upon the whole or any parts of its assets or revenues to secure any Public External Indebtedness (as defined below) upon the whole or any part of its assets or revenues to secure any Public External Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Issuer, unless, at the same time or prior thereto, the Issuer’s obligations under the Securities either (i) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (ii) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by the holders of the Securities (as provided in Paragraph 9 below); provided, however, that the Issuer may create or permit to subsist:

(a) any Lien upon property to secure Public External Indebtedness of the Issuer incurred for the purpose of financing the acquisition of such property and any renewal or extension of any such Lien which is limited to the original property covered thereby and which secures only the renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

-5-

(b) any Lien existing on such property at the time of its acquisitions to secure Public External Indebtedness of the Issuer and any renewal or extension of any such Lien which is limited to the original property covered thereby and which secures only the renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

(c) any Lien in existence on the date of issue of the Securities, including any renewal or extension thereof which secures only the renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

(d) any Lien securing Public External Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or part of the costs of the acquisition, construction or development of a project and any renewal or extension of such Lien, provided that (a) the holders of such Public External Indebtedness expressly agree to limit their recourse to the assets and revenues of such project, and all proceeds (including, without limitation, any insurance proceeds), products and all additions, substitutions, replacements and accessions of or to any such assets or revenues, as the principal source of repayment of such Public Indebtedness and (b) the property over which such Lien is granted consists solely of such assets and revenues and proceeds;

(e) any Lien on the properties or revenues of the Fondo de Ahorro de Panamá (“FAP”) created by Law No. 38 of 2012 or any Lien on the properties or revenues of the Development Trust Fund assumed by the FAP as successor of the Development Trust Fund, provided that the equivalent in U.S. dollars of the amount secured by such Liens shall not at any time exceed the amount of all contributions to the FAP from (A) the assets of the Development Trust Fund transferred to the FAP, (B) any contribution from the Panama Canal Authority to the National Treasury that is greater than 3.5% of the nominal GDP of the year in effect, starting with the fiscal year 2015; (C) the proceeds from the sale of any stock in Mixed Companies (as defined below); (D) sums bequeathed or donated to the FAP by any person other than the Republic of Panama or any governmental agency or affiliate thereof, and (E) any earnings on properties or revenues received pursuant to clauses (A) to (D), and any renewal or extension of any such Lien which is limited to the original properties or revenues covered thereby; and

(f) Liens in addition to those permitted by clauses (a) through (e) above, and any renewal or extension thereof, provided that the aggregate amount of Public External Indebtedness secured by such additional Liens shall not exceed the equivalent of U.S.$25,000,000.

For purposes of the Securities:

“Indebtedness” means any payment obligation (whether pursuant to a guarantee or otherwise), including any contingent liability, for borrowed money or arising from bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments;

“Lien” means any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, deed of trust, charge or other encumbrance or preferential arrangement which has the practical effect of constituting a security interest with respect to the payment of any obligations with or from revenues or the proceeds of any asset of any kind whether in effect on the date that the Fiscal Agency Agreement becomes effective or any time thereafter;

-6-

“Mixed Companies” means the following companies or their successors: AES Panamá, S.A.; Bahía Las Minas Corp.; Cable & Wireless Panamá, S.A.; Elektra Noreste, S.A.; Empresa de Distribución Eléctrica Chiriquí, S.A.; Empresa de Distribución Eléctrica Metro-Oeste, S.A.; Enel Fortuna, S.A.; Energía y Servicios de Panamá, S.A.; Panamá Ports Company, S.A. and Petroterminal de Panamá, S.A.;

“Public External Indebtedness” means any Public Indebtedness which is not issued pursuant to agreements or evidenced by instruments that submit the resolution of all disputes arising thereunder to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic; and

“Public Indebtedness” means any Indebtedness of, or guaranteed by, the Republic which (i) is publicly offered or privately placed in security markets, (ii) is in the form of, or represented by, bonds, notes or other securities or any guarantees thereof, (iii) is, or was intended at the time of issue to be, quoted, listed or traded on any stock exchange, automated trading system or over-the-counter or other securities market (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, securities eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any successor law or regulation of similar effect)) and (iv) has an original maturity of more than one year or is combined with a commitment so that the original maturity of one year or less may be extended at the option of the Republic to a period in excess of one year.

2. The Securities are issuable in fully registered form. Securities are issuable in authorized denominations of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

3. The Issuer shall maintain in The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer has initially appointed the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent as its agent in The City of New York for such purpose and has agreed to cause to be kept at such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer will provide for the registration of Securities and registration of transfers of Securities. In addition, the Issuer has appointed the main offices of The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. in Luxembourg as an additional agency (a “Transfer Agent”) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer reserves the right to vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent as security registrar or of any Transfer Agent or to appoint additional or other registrars or Transfer Agents or to approve any change in the office through which any security registrar or any Transfer Agent acts, provided that there will at all times be a security registrar in The City of New York, and (so long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such Exchange shall so require) a Transfer Agent in Luxembourg.

The transfer of a Security is registrable on the aforementioned register upon surrender of such Security at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent or any Transfer Agent

-7-

duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities, dated the date of authentication thereof, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the registered holder upon request confirmed in writing, Securities may be exchanged for Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at the office of any Transfer Agent or at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the registered holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Transfer Agent or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may from time to time agree with the Transfer Agents and the Fiscal Agent.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial redemption of a Security not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer nor the Fiscal Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

4. The Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its principal office in The City of New York, not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the business day in New York prior to each Interest Payment Date, redemption date or Stated Maturity of the Securities, in such amounts sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose) to pay the interest on, and the principal of, the Securities due and payable on such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so paid to it to the payment of such interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the Securities. Any monies paid by the Issuer to the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity, redemption or otherwise) shall then be repaid to the Issuer upon its written request, and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer may have to pay the principal of and interest on this Security as the same shall become due.

-8-

In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security shall be at any place of payment a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on such date at such place but may be made on the next succeeding day at such place which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

5. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by the Republic or any other jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made to the holders of Securities in respect of the Securities or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax (“Taxes”), unless such taxing jurisdiction is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties, assessments, or governmental charges. In such event, the Issuer shall make such withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and forthwith pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts receivable by each holder of Securities after such withholding or deduction shall equal the payment which would have been receivable by such holder in respect of such Securities in the absence of such withholding or deduction. No such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

(a) in respect of any Security or Coupon held by or on behalf of a holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such holder having some connection with the Republic otherwise than merely by the holding of such Security or by the receipt of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect thereof; or

(b) in respect of any Security held by or on behalf of a holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of such holder’s failure to comply with any reasonable certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Republic, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, of such holder or the holder of any interest in such Security or rights in respect thereof, if compliance is required by the Republic, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, as a precondition to exemption from such deduction or withholding; provided, however, that the limitations on the Issuer’s obligations to pay Additional Amounts set forth in this clause (b) shall not apply if such certification, identification, or other reporting requirement would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure, or in substance of information disclosed by the relevant holders or beneficial owners than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under United States tax law, regulation and administrative practice; or

(c) in respect of any Security held by or on behalf of a holder who is liable for such Taxes by reason of the failure of such holder to present such holder’s Security for payment (where such presentation is required) within 30 calendar days after the date on which such payment thereof became due and payable or is duly provided for and notice thereof is given to the holder, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that such holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts in respect of such Taxes on presenting such Security for payment on any date within such 30 calendar days.

-9-

The Issuer shall pay all stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the Republic, the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority of or in the foregoing with respect to the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the original issuance of this Security.

Except as specifically provided in this Security, the Issuer shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5(a) and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

6. In the event any of the following shall occur (each an “Event of Default”):

(a) default in any payment of principal of or premium on any Security of this Series and the continuance of such default for a period of 15 calendar days; or

(b) default in any payment of interest on any Security of this Series and the continuance of such default for a period of 30 calendar days; or

(c) default in the performance of any other obligation under the Securities of this Series and the continuance of such default for a period of 60 calendar days after written notice requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Fiscal Agent by the holder of any Security of this Series; or

(d) acceleration of any aggregate principal amount of Public Indebtedness of the Republic in excess of U.S.$25,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) by reason of an event of default (however described) resulting from the failure either to make any payment of principal, premium or interest thereunder when due; or

(e) failure to make any payment in respect of Public Indebtedness of the Republic in an aggregate principal amount in excess of U.S.$25,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) (as such date may be extended by any applicable grace period or waiver) and the continuance of such failure for a period of 30 calendar days after written notice requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Fiscal Agent by the holder of any Security of a Series; or

-10-

(f) declaration by the Republic of a moratorium with respect to the payment of principal of, or premium or interest on Public External Indebtedness of the Republic which does not expressly exclude the Securities of this Series; or

(g) denial or repudiation by the Republic of its obligations under the Securities of this Series;

then the registered holder of this Security may, at such holder’s option so long as an Event of Default is continuing, declare the principal of and any accrued interest on all Securities of this Series to be immediately due and payable by written notice to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent at its corporate trust office, and unless all defaults shall have been cured by the Issuer prior to receipt of such written notice, such principal and interest shall become and be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that any notice declaring the Securities of this Series due and payable shall become effective only when the Fiscal Agent has received such notice from the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this Series then Outstanding. If any Event of Default shall give rise to a declaration which shall be effective and all Events of Default shall cease to continue following such declaration, then such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this Series then Outstanding in accordance with the procedures set forth in Paragraph 9 below.

7. Prior to June 29, 2032, the Securities of this Series shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time and from time to time, upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice to the holders and with a copy to the Fiscal Agent, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities being redeemed (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield (as defined below), plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to but excluding, the redemption date.

At any time on or after June 29, 2032, the Securities of this Series shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time and from time to time, upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ written notice to the holders with a copy to the Fiscal Agent, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding the date of redemption.

The Issuer shall give written notice to the Fiscal Agent of any redemption in accordance with Section 7 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

For purposes of the Securities:

“Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day-count basis) yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

-11-

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) appointed by the Issuer having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities or such other maturity as would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of investment grade debt securities of a comparable maturity to remaining term of the Securities.

“Independent Investment Banker” means either Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or their respective successors or, if such firms are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, one of the remaining Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined below) appointed by the Issuer.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, or (ii) if the Issuer obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or their affiliates and any three other primary United States government securities dealers, and their respective successors, in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by the Issuer; provided that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuer will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Issuer, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

The Republic may at any time purchase Securities at any price in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Securities so purchased by the Republic may, at the Republic’s discretion, be held, resold or surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation.

8. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there be delivered to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

-12-

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Paragraph 8, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable fees and the expenses of the Fiscal Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Paragraph 8 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

Any new Security delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 8 shall be so dated that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange.

The provisions of this Paragraph 8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

9. The Issuer and the Fiscal Agent, may without the consent of any holder of the Securities, agree to a Modification of the Securities of this Series or to the Fiscal Agency Agreement as it relates to the Securities of this Series for the purpose of: (A) adding to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of this Series, (B) surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Issuer, (C) securing the Securities of this Series pursuant to the requirements of the Securities of this Series or otherwise, (D) curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision hereof or (E) amending the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Securities of this Series in any manner which the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent may determine and which shall not adversely affect the interest of any holder of Securities of this Series in any material respect (each such modification, a “Technical Modification”). Any such Technical Modification shall be binding on all holders of the Securities of this Series, and unless the Fiscal Agent otherwise requires, the Issuer shall provide notice of any such Technical Modification to the Fiscal Agent for onward distribution to such holders of the Securities of this Series as soon as practicable thereafter.

Modifications proposed by the Issuer to the terms and conditions of the Securities of this Series, or to the Fiscal Agency Agreement insofar as they affect only the Securities of this Series, that are not Reserve Matter Modifications or Technical Modifications, may be approved by holders of the Securities of this Series (by vote at a meeting of the holders of Securities of this Series or by a written consent of such holders of Securities of this Series), and future compliance therewith may be waived, with the written consent of the Issuer and the affirmative vote (if approved at a meeting of the holders of the Securities of this Series) or consent (if approved by a written action) of holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this Series.

Reserve Matter Modifications proposed by the Issuer may be approved by holders of Securities of this Series (by vote at a meeting of the holders of the Securities of this Series or by a written consent of such holders) in one of three ways (each, a “Modification Method”): (A)

-13-

by the holders of the Aggregated Collective Action Securities of each Series subject to the proposed Modification (a “Single Series Reserve Matter Modification”), (B) for proposed Cross-Series Modifications (as defined below) that are Uniformly Applicable (as defined below), by the holders of two or more Series of Aggregated Collective Action Securities whose votes or written consents will be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the approval threshold has been met (a “Cross-Series Modification with Single Aggregated Voting”), and (C) for proposed Cross-Series Modifications that are not Uniformly Applicable, by the holders of two or more Series of Aggregated Collective Action Securities whose votes or written consents (x) taken together, must meet an aggregated approval threshold and (y) taken separately for each Series of Securities covered by that proposed Cross-Series Modification, must meet a separate approval threshold (a “Cross-Series Modification with Two Tier Voting”). The Issuer shall have the discretion to select a Modification Method for a proposed Reserve Matter Modification and to designate which Series of Aggregated Collective Action Securities will be included in the aggregated voting for a proposed Cross-Series Modification; provided, however, that once the Issuer selects a Modification Method and designates the Series of Aggregated Collective Action Securities that will be subject to a proposed Cross-Series Modification, those elections will be final for purposes of that vote or consent solicitation.

11. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or from any other tribunal it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder to the holder of this Security in one currency into another currency (the “judgment currency”), the Issuer and each such holder agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used will be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures such holder could purchase the first currency with such judgment currency in the city which is the principal financial center of the country of issue of the first currency on the date two business days preceding the day on which final judgment is rendered.

The obligation of the Issuer in respect of any sum payable by it to the holder of this Security shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a judgment currency other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions herein (the “security currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the business day following receipt by such holder of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency, such holder may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the security currency with the judgment currency. If the amount of the security currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the holder of this Security in the security currency, the Issuer agrees, as a separate and independent obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such holder against such loss, and if the amount of the security currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such holder, such holder agrees to remit to the Issuer such excess, provided that such holder shall have no obligation to remit any such excess as long as the Issuer shall have failed to pay such holder any obligations due and payable under this Security, in which case such excess may be applied to such obligations of the Issuer hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

12. THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITHOUT REGARD TO THOSE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT AUTHORIZATION AND EXECUTION OF THIS SECURITY BY THE ISSUER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA.

13. The Issuer irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in The City of New York and any court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the Republic of Panama, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and any Security (a “Related Proceeding”) and the Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any Related Proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court or any court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the Republic of Panama. The Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Related Proceeding and any objection to any Related Proceeding whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile. The Issuer hereby agrees that a final judgment in any Related Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or any other manner provided by law.

The Issuer hereby appoints and agrees to maintain the person for the time being and from time to time acting as or discharging the function of Consul General of the Republic of Panama in The City of New York (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 1212 Avenue of the Americas, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10036, United States, as its agent to receive on behalf of the Issuer and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any Related Proceeding in such New York State or federal court sitting in The City of New York. The Issuer hereby agrees that such service may be made by U.S. registered mail or by delivering by hand a copy of such process to the Issuer in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above for the Process Agent (and the Issuer hereby agrees that such service will be effective upon the mailing or delivery by hand of such process to the Office of the Process Agent), and the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept on its behalf such service. The Issuer hereby agrees that failure of the Process Agent to give notice to the Issuer, or failure of the Issuer to receive notice of such service of process, shall not affect in any way the validity of such service on the Process Agent or the Issuer. The Issuer hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any Related Proceeding in a New York State or federal court sitting in The City of New York by sending by U.S. registered mail copies of such process to the Issuer at the Ministry of Economy and Finance (and the Issuer hereby agrees that such service will be effective seven days after mailing thereof). The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent in full force and effect, and to cause the Process Agent to continue to act as such. In addition, the Issuer hereby agrees that no documents or agreements to which it is a party or to which it or its property is subject will affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any party to bring any suit, action or proceeding against any other party or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

To the extent that the Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and will irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of any Related Proceeding, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees that such waivers shall have the fullest scope permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the execution on or attachment of revenues, assets and property of the Issuer located in the Republic through the courts of the Republic, both prior to and post-judgment, shall be subject to the provisions of Articles 1047, 1048, 1650(#14) and 1939 of the Judicial Code of the Republic of Panama.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer does not consent to service of process or waive sovereign immunity with respect to actions brought against it under United States federal securities laws or any securities laws of any states of the United States, and the Issuer’s appointment of the Process Agent hereunder does not extend to such actions.

14. To the extent permitted by law, all claims against the Issuer for payment of principal of or premium if any, or interest on, or in respect of, the Securities (including Additional Amounts) shall be prescribed unless made within five years from the date on which such payment first became due.

-19-

15. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of any Security of this Series, create and issue additional Securities having terms and conditions the same as the Securities of this Series, or the same except for the amount of the first payment of interest, which additional Securities may be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Securities of this Series; provided that such additional Securities do not have, for purposes of U.S. federal income taxation (regardless of whether any holders of such Securities are subject to the U.S. federal tax laws), a greater amount of original issue discount than the Securities of this Series have as of the date of the issue of such additional Securities.

16. All notices to the holders of definitive Securities of this Series will be given by publishing such notices in a leading newspaper having general circulation in London and New York. All notices to the holders while the Securities of this Series are in book-entry form, will be sent to depositary or its nominee, as a holder thereof, and the depositary will communicate such notices to its participants in accordance with its standard rules. In addition, if and so long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange shall so require, notices to holders of the Securities will be published in a leading newspaper with general circulation in Luxembourg or by publication on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange at http://www.bourse.iu.
