Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date hereof is after the April 10 or October 10 and before the next succeeding April 25 or October 25, this Note shall bear interest from such April 25 or October 25, as the case may be;provided,however, that if the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such April 25 or October 25, then this Note shall bear interest from the next preceding April 25 or October 25 to which interest on the Notes has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes or duly provided for, from the Original Issue Date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any April 25 or October 25 will, except as provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the next preceding April 10 or October 10, as the case may be (herein called the “Regular Record Date”), whether or not a Business Day, or may, at the option of the Company, unless this Note is a Global Security, be paid by check mailed to the registered address of such Person. Any such interest which is payable but is not so punctually paid or duly provided for, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid either to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed and upon

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
All payments of or in respect of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, penalties, duties, fines, assessments or other governmental charges (or interest on any of the foregoing) of whatsoever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by, within or on behalf of the Republic of Chile or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, the Company shall pay to each Holder such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by Holders of the Notes after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest that would have been received in respect of this Note in the absence of such withholding or deduction.

All references to principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder shall be deemed to include references to any Additional Amounts which may be payable as set forth in the Indenture or in this Note.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
