on the official list and to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Programme also permits
Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any competent authority,
stock exchange and/or quotation system or to be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by such other or further
competent authorities, stock exchanges and/or quotation systems as may be agreed with the Issuer.

not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
The Notes will be offered, sold and delivered (a) outside the United States in an offshore transaction (within the meaning of
Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S")) in reliance on Regulation S, and (b) within the United States to
qualified institutional buyers only ("QlBs") (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A")) in reliance on
the exemption provided by Rule 144A. Prospective investors are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on
the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
The Notes of each Tranche will be in dematerialised book-entry (forma escritural) and registered (nominativas) form (the
"Interbolsa Notes"), in bearer form ("Bearer Notes") (forma titulada, ao portador) or in registered form ("Registered
Notes") (forma titulada, nominativas). Interbolsa Notes will be integrated in and held through Interbolsa ­ Sociedade
Gestora de Sistemas de Liquidação e de Sistemas Centralizados de Valores Mobiliários S.A. ("Interbolsa"). Bearer Notes

be exchangeable either for interests in a permanent global note or for definitive notes, as indicated in the applicable Final
Terms. Registered Notes will (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms) be represented by one or more
unrestricted global note certificates, in the case of Registered Notes sold outside the United States in an offshore transaction
in reliance on Regulation S, and/or one or more restricted global note certificates in the case of Registered Notes sold to QIBs

will be deposited on or about the issue date with the common
depositary.

Each Note represented by a Restricted Global Note Certificate will be

relevant Restricted Global Note Certificate will be deposited on or
about the issue date with the DTC Custodian or (ii) registered in the
name of a common depositary (or its nominee) for Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant clearing system

Notes will be issued on an unsubordinated basis.
Issue Price:
Notes may be issued at any price and either on a fully or partly paid

prevailing market conditions.
Maturities:

with all applicable legal and/or regulatory and/or central bank
requirements.

Where Notes have a maturity of less than one year and either (a) the
issue proceeds are received by the Issuer in the United Kingdom or
(b) the activity of issuing the Notes is carried on from an establishment
maintained by the Issuer in the United Kingdom, such Notes must:
(i) have a minimum redemption value of £100,000 (or its equivalent in
other currencies) and be issued only to persons whose ordinary
activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of
investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses
or who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose
of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their
businesses; or (ii) be issued in other circumstances which do not
constitute a contravention of section 19 of the FSMA by the Issuer.
Redemption:
Notes may be redeemable at par or at such other Redemption Amount
(detailed in a formula, index or otherwise) as may be specified in the
relevant Final Terms. Notes may also be redeemable in two or more
instalments on such dates and in such manner as may be specified in the
relevant Final Terms.
Optional Redemption:
Notes may be redeemed before their stated maturity at the Option of the
Issuer (either in whole or in part) and/or the Noteholders to the extent
(if at all) specified in the relevant Final Terms.
Interest:
Notes may be interest-bearing or non-interest bearing. Interest (if any)
may accrue at a fixed rate or a floating rate or other variable rate or be
index-linked and the method of calculating interest may vary between
the issue date and the maturity date of the relevant Series.
Denominations:
Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be specified in the
relevant Final Terms, subject to compliance with all applicable legal
and/or regulatory and/or central bank requirements.

Condition 6 (Negative Pledge).
Taxation:
All payments in respect of Notes will be made free and clear of
withholding taxes of the Republic of Portugal as the case may be,
unless the withholding is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will
(subject as provided in Condition 13 (Taxation)) pay such additional
amounts as will result in the Noteholders receiving such amounts as
150719-3-786-v3.8
- 5-
70-40561526




they would have received in respect of such Notes had no such
withholding been required.

connection with the Notes (other than Interbolsa Notes) are governed by
English law. The Interbolsa Notes and all non-contractual obligations
arising out of or in connection with the Interbolsa Notes are governed
by Portuguese law.

FORMS OF THE NOTES AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO U.S. SALES
Bearer Notes
Each Tranche of Bearer Notes will initially be in the form of either a temporary global note, without
interest coupons (the "Temporary Global Note"), or a permanent global note, without interest coupons
(the "Permanent Global Note" and, together with the Temporary Global Note, the "Global Notes"), in
each case as specified in the relevant Final Terms. Each Global Note which is not intended to be issued
in new global note ("NGN") form, as specified in the relevant Final Terms, will be deposited on or
around the issue date of the relevant Tranche of the Notes with a depositary or a common depositary for
Euroclear Bank SA/NV as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and/or Clearstream Banking,
société anonyme, Luxembourg ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or any other relevant clearing system
and each Global Note which is intended to be issued in NGN form, as specified in the relevant Final
Terms, will be deposited on or around the issue date of the relevant Tranche of the Notes with a common
safekeeper for Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg.
On 13 June 2006, the European Central Bank (the "ECB") announced that Notes in NGN form are in
compliance with the "Standards for the use of EU securities settlement systems in ESCB credit
operations" of the central banking system for the euro (the "Eurosystem"), provided that certain other
criteria are fulfilled. At the same time the ECB also announced that arrangements for Notes in NGN form
will be offered by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as of 30 June 2006 and that debt securities in
global bearer form issued through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg after 31 December 2006 will
only be eligible as collateral for Eurosystem operations if the NGN form is used.
The relevant Final Terms will also specify whether United States Treasury Regulation
§1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(C) or substantially identical successor provisions (the "TEFRA C Rules") or United
States Treasury Regulation §1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D) or substantially identical successor provisions (the
"TEFRA D Rules") are applicable in relation to the Notes or, if the Notes do not have a maturity of more
than 365 days or are determined to be in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes,
that neither the TEFRA C Rules nor the TEFRA D Rules are applicable.
Temporary Global Note exchangeable for Permanent Global Note
If the relevant Final Terms specifies the form of Notes as being "Temporary Global Note exchangeable
for a Permanent Global Note", then the Notes will initially be in the form of a Temporary Global Note
which will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for interests in a Permanent Global Note, without interest
coupons, not earlier than 40 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of the Notes and, if the
relevant Final Terms also specify that the TEFRA D Rules are applicable, upon certification as to
non-U.S. beneficial ownership. No payments will be made under the Temporary Global Note unless
exchange for interests in the Permanent Global Note is improperly withheld or refused. In addition, if the
relevant Final Terms specify that the TEFRA D Rules are applicable, interest payments in respect of the
Notes cannot be collected without such certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership.
Whenever any interest in the Temporary Global Note is to be exchanged for an interest in a Permanent
Global Note, the Issuer shall procure (in the case of first exchange) the prompt delivery (free of charge to
the bearer) of such Permanent Global Note to the bearer of the Temporary Global Note or (in the case of
any subsequent exchange) an increase in the principal amount of the Permanent Global Note in
accordance with its terms against:
(i)
presentation and (in the case of final exchange) surrender of the Temporary Global Note to or to
the order of the Fiscal Agent; and
(ii)
receipt by the Fiscal Agent of a certificate or certificates of non-U.S. beneficial ownership,
within 7 days of the bearer requesting such exchange.
The principal amount of the Permanent Global Note shall be equal to the aggregate of the principal
amounts specified in the certificates of non-U.S. beneficial ownership; provided, however, that in no
circumstances shall the principal amount of the Permanent Global Note exceed the initial principal
amount of the Temporary Global Note.
