ROC =                                                           Remuneration of Supplementary Works in constant Pesos of January 2007

 

I =                                                                                 It refers to the counter of the number of Supplementary Works performed throughout the Agreement

 

The following formula will be used to determine the remuneration for the Supplementary Works:

 

 

Where,

 

ROC =                                                           Remuneration of Supplementary Works in constant Pesos of January 2007

 

VOC =                                                           Amount of the Supplementary Works in constant Pesos of January 2007

 

IREI =                                                           Amount of the Expected Initial Regulated Revenues.

 

VEO =                                                            250.000.000.000, which is the amount estimated in the investments of the Adjustment and Modernization Plan of the Airports in constant Pesos of January 2007

N =                                                                             Time elapsed, in months, as from the execution of the Minutes of Commencement of Performance until the execution of the Minutes of Commencement of Supplementary Works

 

TR% =                                                          Actual Update Rate

The actual update rate of the variable ROC reflects the minimum yield, in actual terms, that will be received by the Concessionaire throughout the term in which it will not receive any remuneration whatsoever for the investment made. For this purpose, an effective actual update rate equal to ten percent (10%) is used.

 

The following formula is used to determine the amount of the Supplementary Works calculated in constant pesos of January 2007:

 

 

Where,

 

VOC0 =                                                      Amount of the Supplementary Works in constant Pesos of January 2007.

 

VOCI =                                                        Amount of the Supplementary Works in current pesos

 

IPCt =                                                              IPC on the t period.

 

In any case, as determined under this Agreement, there will be no need for approval for the performance of Supplementary Works, whenever the Regulated Revenues Generated have reached seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of the Initial Expected Regulated Revenues.

 

10.5                        ADJUSTMENT TO THE EXPECTED REGULATED REVENUE AS REMUNERATION FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUPPLEMENTARY WORKS, WHEN TOTAL OR PARTIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GRANTORS EXIST: In the events the Concessionaire, in the terms and under the conditions of this Agreement, performs Supplementary Works in respect of which the Grantors decide to contribute all or part of the value of the Supplementary Works, the Grantors will calculate the amount of the Supplementary Works that shall be remunerated to the Concessionaire, as the difference between the amount of the Supplementary Works measured in current pesos, and calculated in the manner indicated in the preceding Item, and the contribution of the Grantors shaal be measured in current pesos. For such purpose, the amount of the Supplementary Works shall be determined based on the following formula:

 

 

15

----

 

Where,

 

VOC =           Amount of the Supplementary Works in current Pesos with contributions of the Grantors.

 

VOCI =        Amount of the Supplementary Works in current Pesos

 

APCt =          Contributions made by the Grantors to Supplementary Works in current Pesos

 

Once the amount of the Supplementary Works with contributions of the Grantors has been determined, the adjustment to the Expected Regulated Revenues shall be mad as indicated in Item 10.4 above. The total or partial contributions made by the Grantors, as remuneration of the Concessionaire for the performance of the Supplementary Works, will not be deemed a Regulated Revenue.

 

10.6                        MAXIMUM LIMIT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY WORKS:

 

The maximum limit of the amount of the Supplementary Works remunerated in the form indicated in Items 10.4 and 10.5 of this Agreement shall not exceed, in any case, as the amount per each Work or as an aggregate amount of all of them, the equivalent to fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of the Expected Initial Regulated Revenues regarding the Mandatory Supplementary Works, and to ten percent (10%) of the amount of the Expected Initial Regulated Revenues for the case of Voluntary Supplementary Works.

 

10.7                        EXECUTION OF THE MINUTES OF ADJUSTMENT OF THE EXPECTED REGULATED REVENUES:

 

In each opportunity when a set of Minutes of Verification of Supplementary Works, the Concessionaire, the Grantors and the Auditor shall execute the Minutes of Adjustment of the Expected Regulated Revenue which shall record the amount of the remuneration accrued in favor of the Concessionaire in the terms of Items 10.4 and 10.5, as well as the new amount of the Expected Regulated Revenues.

 

10.8                        COMPARISON OF THE EXPECTED REGULATED REVENUES AND THE REGULATED REVENUES GENERATED:

 

The provisions set forth in Clause 7 and in item 10.2 shall be applicable whenever the comparison of the Regulated Revenues Generated, calculated as indicated under Item 10.3, with the Expected Regulated Revenues, shows that the Regulated Revenues Generated have reached the Expected Regulated Revenues.

 

10.9                        COMPLETION OF THE TERM FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT:

 

Promptly upon the notice delivered by the Trust Agent to the Grantors, the Concessionaire and the Auditor communicating the fact that the Regulated Revenues Generated have reached the Expected Regulated Revenues, the Minutes of Completion of Performance shall be executed, and the delivery and reversion of the Airports to the Grantors shall immediately proceed in the terms set forth in Chapter XIV, provided that such notice has been delivered once fifteen (15) years have elapsed as from the date of execution of the Minutes of Commencement of Performance and, as from said moment, the delivery and reversion of the Airports to the Grantors in the terms contained under Chapter XIV shall immediately proceed.

The rates corresponding to the Regulated Revenues shall be indexed according to the procedure set forth in Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil.

 

In each opportunity in which Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil indicates that the rates shall be indexed, the Concessionaire shall carry out the calculation of the new rates, by applying the indexation formulas set forth in Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil. Therefore, the indexation of the rates does not require the issuance of a new resolution.

 

In any case, if at any moment the Grantors of the Auditor find that the Concessionaire is charging a rate above the one fixed in Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil, the Concessionaire shall conduct all proceedings necessary to return, to whom it corresponds, the payments received in excess. The return shall be made from the resources of the Main Account or from the own resources of the Concessionaire.

**CLAUSE 16.- CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF FEE COMPENSATION**

 

In the event that, without having the consent of the Concessionaire, the Ministry of Transport, Aerocivil or the competent authority, by the issuance of an administrative writ: (i) impedes the collection of the rates associated with Regulated Revenues, pursuant to the provisions set forth in Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil, (ii) requires the Concessionaire to reduce the rates associated with Regulated Revenues in respect of those set forth by Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil, (iii) requires the Concessionaire to increase the rates associated with Regulated Revenues in an amount below the one corresponding pursuant to the indexation mechanism set forth in Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil, or (iv) includes exemptions other than those set forth in Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil, then, Aerocivil shall pay the Concessionaire the difference between the Regulated Revenues that would have been received thereby, if the conditions of Resolution 04530 dated September 21, 2007 of Aerocivil would not have been amended, and the Regulated Revenues effectively received by the Concessionaire.

If resources that do not correspond to AOH are available in the Surplus Account of the Grantors, Aerocivil will instruct the wire of the difference within the thirty (30) common days following the execution of the minutes referred to in the preceding item. Throughout this term, no interest whatsoever will accrue in favor of the Concessionaire.

The above, except if force majeure, acts of God, emergencies or public calamity events exist, or when the declaration of the existence of default is subject to litigation.

 

If resources in the Surplus Account of the Grantors are used and they do not belong to AOH, Aerocivil will instruct a wire for the amount of the rates for Regulated Revenues that had been accrued after the third (3rd) Day counted as from the submission of the request of the Concessionaire, which had been paid by the user to which Aerocivil mistakenly authorized the services. The payment order shall be given by Aerocivil within the thirty (30) common days following the three (3) Day term mentioned above. During  this term, no compensation interests will accrue in favor of the Concessionair. Breaches to the terms of payment shall accrue default interests, according to the provisions set forth in Clause 104 of this Agreement.

**CLAUSE 22.- ALLOCATION OF RISKS - GENERAL PRINCIPLE****:**

 

This Agreement has provided for the specific allocation of risks set forth in this Clause.

 

23.1                        RISKS ASSUMED BY THE CONCESSIONAIRE:

 

The Concessionaire assumes the effects deriving from the risks listed below. The risks listed below are merely understood as illustrative, for which reason, any effect that derives from other that are risks inherent to the performance of this Agreement shall follow the general rule of allocation provided for under the preceding Clause:

 

(i)                                     The Concessionaire assumes all effects, favorable or unfavorable, that derive from the contingency consisting on the eventual increase or decrease of the offer and demand of passengers, aircraft exploiters, cargo users and other airport users, meaning, the increase or decrease of the number of passengers effectively transported in the Airports, the cargo effectively transported in the Airports, the number of operations recorded in the Airports, the behaviour of Regulated Revenues and Non-Regulated Revenues for the offer and demand effects in respect of the Services Associated with Non-Regulated Revenues and the Services ASsociated with Regulated Revenues, all in respect of which the Concessionaire estimated, in its own analysis, which motivated it to submit the Offer in the Bid.

 

(ii)                                  The Concessionaire assumes the effects, favorable or disfavorable, that derive from the contingency consisting in the failure to pay or delayed payment, or evasion, in respect of the Services Associated with Regulated Revenues and the Services Associated with Non-Regulated Revenues.

(ix)                  That the Grantors shall have the capacity to order the Escrow Agent to transfer resources between the Surplus Account of the Grantors, the Auditor Account and the Main Account exclusively for the purposes and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

(x)                     The Grantors shall have the capacity to request any report from the Escrow Agent that is related to the purposes of the Concession.

 

(xi)                  The Grantors shall have the right to order the Escrow Agent to transfer funds between the Main Account and the Surplus Account of the Grantors when a fine imposed in the terms of this Agreement becomes in force.

(xii)               The escrow agreement cannot be revoked unilaterally by the Concessionaire or the Escrow Agent. Neither it may be modified or terminated, without the prior, express and written authorization of the Grantors, authorization that will be given in any case when the modification does not imply a breach of the provisions agreed in this Concession Agreement.

 

(xiii)            The term of the escrow agreement will be for the maximum allowed by law. Mechanisms must be agreed so that upon termination, the assets of the Escrow or its administration do not revert to the Concessionaire but to a new escrow created through a new escrow agreement and with a different or the same Escrow Agent. The new escrow agreement must be in force until the end of this Agreement and must, except for its term or the applicable law amendments, correspond to the same contractual text as the original Agreement.

 

(xiv)           Once the settlement is in force and the Minutes of Termination have been signed, the early termination of the Concession Agreement will result in the early termination of the escrow agreement.

 

(xv)              All resources that enter into the Escrow Agent will have the following priority of payments (1) the Consideration and other payments to which the Grantors are entitled, (2) the payments to which the Auditor is entitled, (3) the payments to which the Concessionaire is entitled. Any guarantee granted by the Concessionaire on the income of the Escrow must consider the previous priority.

 

The provisions of the escrow agreement that contradict the provisions of the Concession Agreement shall be considered as unwritten and the Grantors may, at any time during the execution of the agreement, request the modification thereof to adjust it to the provisions of this Agreement. In any case, the application of the provisions of the Concession Agreement, in a preferential manner to any provision of the escrow agreement, is not conditional upon the modification being requested by the Grantors or upon the actual modification being made. The escrow agreement will establish the obligation of the Escrow Agent to accept the provision contained in this clause.

 

The termination of the escrow agreement by the expiration of the maximum legal term for its validity without simultaneously concluding a new agreement in the same terms as the original agreement will be considered a serious breach of the Concession Agreement that will give rise to its revocation.

 

**CLAUSE 73.- AUDITOR:**

 

The Grantors, directly or through the Auditor, will carry out a permanent audit on the Escrow and its funds, for which it must be agreed, in the Escrow agreement, that the Escrow Agent will provide collaboration to fulfill this work.

The Escrow Agent shall prepare and submit to the Grantors and the Auditor the following periodic reports:

74.2                        REGULATED REVENUE GENERATED:

74.3                        ESCROW STATUS:

 

Within the first five (5) days of each calendar bimester, the Escrow Agent must submit a report on the operation of the Escrow. In any case, the accounting information of the Escrow must be kept up to date and available so that the Auditor or the Grantors can access it at any time, during the term of the agreement. The reports of the Escrow Agent must be presented in such a way as to verify, in a simple and clear manner, all relevant aspects for the performance of this Agreement

 

74.4                        REPORTS RELATED TO THE SETTLEMENT:

 

Within the month following the date of expiration of the term of performance of the Agreement, the Escrow Agent must prepare a detailed report on the status of each of the Accounts of the Escrow, a report that will be used by the parties for the settlement of the Agreement. Only when this final report has been approved by the Grantors, can the Escrow be liquidated.

 

**CLAUSE 75.- INVESTMENT CRITERIA FOR ESCROW RESOURCES****:**

 

In regards to the investments made with the resources of the Escrow, the Escrow Agent must follow the criteria established in Decree 1O13 of 1995 related to the investment of public resources, or the regulation that replaces, modifies or adds it.

 

**CLAUSE 76.- REPLACEMENT OF THE ESCROW AGENT****:**

 

The Concessionaire may, during the performance of this Agreement, change the Escrow Agent in charge of managing the Escrow, as long as the new Escrow Agent adopts in its entirety the agreement originally executed and has at least the same characteristics of equity solvency of the previous Escrow Agent. In any case, any change of the Escrow Agent must be approved in advance by the Grantors.

 

The Grantors may require the Concessionaire, and the latter must follow the corresponding instruction, the replacement of the Escrow Agent when the latter is not fully complying with its obligations.

 

**CHAPTER XI- INSURANCE AND GUARANTEES**

 

**CLAUSE 77.- SOLE PERFORMANCE BOND:**

 

The Concessionaire shall constitute a Sole Performance Bond that may consist of an insurance policy or a bank guarantee that covers the obligations under its charge derived from this Agreement, which must be issued by an Acceptable Insurance Company or an Acceptable Bank. The  Sole Performance Bond must include the Grantors as insured and the Concessionaire as secured. The  Sole Performance Bond must be presented to the Grantors and the Auditor for approval, within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of signing the Contract.

 

**CLAUSE 78.- COVERAGE AND INSURED AMOUNT OF THE SOLE PERFORMANCE BOND:**

 

The Sole Performance Bond must contain each and every one of the following coverage:

 

65

----

 

78.1                        COVERAGE FOR PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT:

 

The coverage will be constituted in favor of the Grantors, in order to guarantee the general fulfillment of all the obligations of the Concessionaire under the Agreement, either by reason of its execution, performance or liquidation or due to the payment of fines, penalty clause and other sanctions imposed on the Concessionaire, for an insured value of twenty-seven thousand million Pesos ($ 27,000,000,000). From the beginning of the Maintenance Stage, the insured value may be reduced to the sum of three thousand three hundred million Pesos ($ 3,300,000,000). Since these sums are given in constant pesos of January 2007, they must be adjusted annually with the following formula:

 

 

Where,

ACCA1                                  =              Compliance coverage value measured in current pesos

ACCA0                                  =              Compliance coverage value included in this clause

IPC0                                                  =             IPC on the month of January, 2007

IPC1                                                  =             IPC on period t

n                                                                     =             Is the difference between the date on which IPC on period t is considered and the date corresponding to IPC of period 0, all divided by 12 (twelve)

 

This coverage must remain in force throughout the term of the Agreement and its settlement and six (6) additional months.

 

78.2                        COVERAGE FOR THE PAYMENT OF SALARIES, SOCIAL BENEFITS AND EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION:

 

The  Sole Performance Bond will cover the risk of default of any of the obligations related to the payment of salaries, social benefits and labor indemnities of Concessionaire’s workers, or that of its agents, contractors or subcontractors that intervene in the development and execution of the Concession Agreement, for an insured value of thirteen thousand five hundred million Pesos ($ 13,500,000,000). Since this sum is given in constant Pesos of January 2007, it should be adjusted annually with the following formula.

 

 

GUCA1                                  =              Salaries and social benefits coverage value measured in current pesos

GUCA0                                  =              Salaries and social benefits coverage value included in this clause

IPC0                                                  =             IPC on the month of January, 2007

IPC1                                                  =             IPC on period t

n                                                                     =             Is the difference between the date on which IPC on period t is considered and the date corresponding to IPC of period 0, all divided by 12 (twelve)

 

This coverage will be valid for the term of the Concession Agreement and three (3) additional years.

 

66

78.3                        COVERAGE FOR STABILITY AND QUALITY OF THE WORKS, EQUIPMENT, GOODS AND SERVICES:

 

As a requisite to begin the execution of the Minutes of Completion of Performance, the Concessionaire must constitute in favor of the Grantors a guarantee of stability and quality of the works, equipment, assets and services considered as the purpose of this Agreement. The value of this coverage will be thirteen thousand five hundred million pesos ($ 13,500,000,000). Since this sum is given in constant Pesos of January 2007, it should be adjusted annually with the following formula.

 

 

GUCA1                                  =              Stability and quality of the Works, equipment, assets, and services coverage value measured in current pesos

GUCA0                                  =              Stability and quality of the Works, equipment, assets, and services coverage value included in this clause

IPC0                                                  =             IPC on the month of January, 2007

IPC1                                                  =             IPC on period t

n                                                                     =             Is the difference between the date on which IPC on period t is considered and the date corresponding to IPC of period 0, all divided by 12 (twelve)

 

This coverage must be valid for five (5) years counted from the signature of the Minutes of Completion of Performance.

 

The purpose of this coverage is the coverage of the responsibility of the Concessionaire for the damages that the Airports present during the validity of this coverage. The coverage of stability and quality of the works will not necessarily be included in the Sole Performance Bonds from its presentation. If not initially included, the  Sole Performance Bond must be extended by the Concessionaire to include the stability and quality of works protection, no less than thirty (30) Days prior to the date on which the coverage must begin pursuant to the provisions of this section. Said extension must be approved by the Grantors.

 

If the Concessionaire does not constitute this coverage in the terms set forth in this section, it will be understood that it has breached the Agreement. Such non-performance shall be understood to be covered by the coverage referred to in Section 78.1 of this Clause.

 

**CLAUSE 79.- AIRPORTS CIVIL LIABILITY POLICY**

 

The Concessionaire shall hold the Grantors harmless from actions or claims arising from accidents that cause damage to property or the life or personal integrity of third parties or the Grantors, including those of any of its employees, agents or subcontractors.

 

For the foregoing, it must establish an Airports Civil Liability Policy issued by an Acceptable Insurance Company of at least one combined global limit of three hundred and fifty million Dollars (US $ 350,000,000) per event, including liability that arises from war events and allied risks in accordance with the aviation clause AVN 52 for the same aggregate limit.

 

This policy shall cover civil liability for accidents that cause bodily injury and/or damage to property, arising from the maintenance, use or provision of airport services and facilities, including civil works.

 

67

----

 

This policy must remain in force for annual periods and throughout the term of the Concession.

 

**CLAUSE 80.- ALTERNATIVES FOR THE TERM OF THE GUARANTEES:**

 

Without prejudice of the obligation of the Concessionaire to keep the  Sole Performance Bond in force during the term of the Agreement complying with all of the conditions, coverages referred to in the previous terms of this Agreement, the Concessionaire may provide policies or bank performance bonds and civil liability with a shorter term than the total term of the Agreement, provided that through its successive periods the entire Agreement is covered. To access this prerogative, the following conditions must be observed, in accordance with the provisions of Decree 280 of 2002:

 

(i)                                   The Concessionaire must proof to the Concessionaires, by means of a certification issued by the Financial Superintendency, that there are no sole performance bonds in the market that cover the Concession Agreements, under the conditions established in Decree 679 of 1994.

The extension of the coverage will be a contractual obligation covered and in force for annual periods and throughout the term of the Agreement, including its reversion. The extension of the coverage will be a contractual obligation covered by this same protection. For the Maintenance Stage, this protection must be in force for annual periods and throughout the term of the Agreement, including its reversion. The extension of the coverage will be a contractual obligation covered by this same protection.

 

(iv)                            The coverage for the payment of salaries, social benefits and labor indemnifications will have, for the Previous and Adjustment and Modernization Stages, a term of six (6) years and in case the duration of the Adjustment and Modernization is extended the Concessionaire will be forced to extend said term within thirty (30) days before its expiration.

to the causes provided for under Clause 98 of this Agreement, giving consideration that under this event the penalty clause will not be enforceable, nor the guarantee of performance, in accordance with the provisions of Decree 280 of 2002. The settlement of the Agreement will proceed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(v)                                Said guarantees will comply with all the conditions and requirements that are required in this Agreement for such documents and will begin their validity on the following current day to that in which the validity of the policies that are renewed, extended, or replaced expire, without solution of continuity.

 

(vi)                             If the Concessionaire sends the new policies to the Concessionaire and to the Auditor with the required advanced notice, the Grantors and the Auditor will evaluate them and give their approval within thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which they had been delivered. If after said term the Grantors do not issue an opinion on the conditions of the policies, the Concessionaire must request the express and written approval to the Grantors.

However, the risks assumed by the Grantors in accordance with this Clause may be excluded from the corresponding insurances, at the option of the Concessionaire.

 

82.1                        RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSURANCE INEXISTENCE:

 

In the event that the Concessionaire does not comply with the obligation referred to in the preceding paragraph, it will assume at its own expense all the costs and expenses necessary to repair, reconstruct or replace the affected works, assets or equipment due to risks that it should have insured, except in the cases dealing with the risks referred to in the following section which will be treated as foreseen in said section.

 

82.2                        RISKS ASSUMED BY THE GRANTORS:

 

The Grantors shall reimburse, as provided for in the following section, the expenses that demand the repairs, reconstructions or replacements of the works, assets or equipment, included within the object of this Agreement, not including loss of profits, affected by acts of force majeure or a

 

69

----

 

fortuitous event, which can be considered for in the exhaustive enumeration indicated below and provided that: (i) they are assets, works or equipment that at the time of occurrence of such events are directly affected by the Concession and (ii) there is no insurance taken by the Concessionaire that covers the assets affected by acts of force majeure or fortuitous event that are listed exhaustively in this numeral. The Grantors will exclusively bear the following risks:

 

·                  Declared or undeclared foreign war.

·                  Terrorist Acts.

The Grantors will not assume any responsibility for the events listed in this section when the Concessionaire, its contractors or its employees of direction, management and trust have incurred in fault or responsibility that leads to the occurrence or aggravation of said events.

 

Likewise, the Grantors will not be responsible for the events indicated in numeral (ii) above, provided that such events originated, were facilitated, permitted, or could not have been avoided as a result of the breach of the obligations of the Concessionaire in matters of Airport Safety.

 

82.3                        NECESSARY REPARATIONS FOR REASONS OF FORCE MAJEURE OR FORTUITOUS CASE:

 

In case of force majeure or fortuitous event, the expenses demanded by the repairs, reconstructions or replacements of the works subject to this Agreement shall be borne by the Concessionaire.

The evaluation of the facts, causes that motivated them and the diligence with which the Concessionaire acted before them, shall be provided for within thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which said causes cease, in minutes signed by the Auditor and the Concessionaire, which will be submitted to the approval of the Grantors.

 

If reimbursement by the Grantors is appropriate, the value of said costs will be agreed by the parties. Once the value of such repairs and/or reconstructions has been determined, the Grantors shall pay the Concessionaire the corresponding value. The Grantors may opt, in their sole discretion, to carry out the reimbursement from the resources available to the Surplus Account of the Grantor, their own budget resources, or may decide that the reimbursement will be made by reducing the future values that the Concessionaire must pay as Consideration.

 

82.4                        INSURANCE TAKEN BY THE GRANTORS:

 

In the event that insurance policies exist in the market that cover the costs (excluding loss of income) of repairs, reconstructions or replacements of the works, assets or equipment subject to this Agreement and are affected by acts of force majeure or fortuitous event that may be included within the exhaustive enumeration of section 82.2 of this same Clause, the Grantors may take, at

their election, said policies. In this case, the reimbursement obligations of the Grantor to the Concessionaire provided for in the previous Section may be covered, totally or partially, through the coverage granted by the policies taken by the Grantors.

 

**CHAPTER XII- SANCTIONS REGIME**

 

**CLAUSE 83.- FINES:**

 

If the Concessionaire does not comply with any of the specifications, requirements, obligations and responsibilities that have been imposed on him and that it has agreed to assume under this Agreement, the Concessionaire will be responsible for the corresponding fine from the date on which each obligation becomes enforceable.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Concessionaire fails to comply with any of the provisions contained in the applicable aeronautics and airports regulations, the Aerocivil may impose the corresponding sanctions, in its capacity as competent authority and in exercise of the powers that the law grants it.

 

Fines will be incurred as of the scheduled date for the performance of the obligation and until the respective breach ceases.

 

When it is a breach or infraction of an obligation of immediate execution which cannot be corrected, as many fines may be imposed as breaches of immediate execution committed by the Concessionaire, and will quantified in each case.

 

Daily fines will be imposed equivalent to a number of Minimum Legal Monthly Salaries -SMMLV- for each Calendar Day after the date set for the performance of the obligations of the Concessionaire, unless expressly stated otherwise. If said performance is not executed within the terms indicated in the following table, the Grantors may initiate the legal actions that correspond to obtain a declaration of default or proceed to declare the Revocation of the Agreement.

The foregoing situations may also give rise to the declaration of revocation of the Agreement by the Grantors when the breach of the Concessionaire is of such seriousness as to occur in accordance with Clause 96. In any case, if more than sixty (60) Days pass during which fines are imposed, without the Concessionaire having complied with the respective obligation, the Grantors may declare the revocation of the Agreement.

 

83.2                                             FULFILLMENT OF THE MAIN OBLIGATION:

 

The payment or deduction of the fines provided for in this clause shall not exempt the Concessionaire from the obligation whose delay has caused the imposition of the respective fine, or from the other responsibilities and obligations arising from this Agreement.

 

83.3                                             PROCEDURE FOR THE IMPOSITION OF FINES - GUARANTEE TO THE RIGHT OF DEFENSE OF THE CONCESSIONAIRE:

 

Once the Grantors verify that a breach has occurred that may lead to the imposition of a fine in accordance with the provisions of this Clause, they shall inform the Concessionaire in writing about the origin thereof, its value and the reasons for the imposition.

 

If there is no written objection on the part of the Concessionaire regarding the origin of the fine, or regarding its valuation or quantification, addressed to both the Auditor and the Grantors within five (5) Days following the day on which it was informed as provided in the previous paragraph, the Grantors will proceed to decree the imposition of the fine and, in the case that is not paid voluntarily by the Concessionaire, to deduct it from the resources deposited in the Main Account of

 

73

----

 

the Escrow or collect it against the  Sole Performance Bond or to initiate the respective executive collection.

 

If there is an objection by the Concessionaire in the terms set out in the previous paragraph, the Grantors must request a written concept from the Auditor that studies the objections of the Concessionaire and the reasons that the Grantors would have, considering the objections presented, to persevere in the imposition of the fine or to desist from its imposition. The Auditor has a term of five (5) Days to issue his opinion.

 

Having considered the Concessionaire’s objections and the Auditor’s opinion on them, the Grantors may declare the occurrence of breach and the imposition of the fine by issuing a written communication to the Concessionaire indicating that they have desisted from imposing the fine and the reasons supporting such procedure.

 

The causation and payment of fines will in no case affect the accounting of the Gross Revenue and the Regulated Revenue Generated of the Concessionaire and, therefore, will not be deducted for the purposes of making the corresponding calculations.

 

83.4                                             LIMIT FOR THE IMPOSITION OF FINES:

 

The total value of the fines imposed by the Grantors to the Concessionaire may not exceed five percent (5%) of the Concessionaire’s Gross Revenue in an annual period.

 

83.5                                           PAYMENT OF FINES:

 

The fines will be paid by the Concessionaire through a transfer between the Main Account and the Surplus Account of the Grantor, which will be ordered to the Escrow Agent by the Grantor or by the Concessionaire, as the case may be.

 

**CLAUSE 84.- PENALTY CLAUSE:**

 

In case of declaration of revocation or the declaration of default of the Agreement by the Concessionaire, a penalty may be applied as a Penalty Clause, for an amount equivalent to twenty million Dollars settled at the TRM in effect in the date of payment, without prejudice to the fines in charge of the Concessionaire.

 

The Penalty Clause must be covered by an insurance policy in the conditions set out under this Agreement.

 

The penalty referred to in the preceding paragraph will be required by the percentage values that are defined below:

 

(i)                                   One hundred percent (100%) of its value when the breach that results in its enforceability occurs during the Adjustment and Modernization Stage.

 

(ii)                                Seventy percent (70%) of its value, when the breach that results in its enforceability occurs within the first eight (8) years of the Maintenance Stage.

 

(iii)                             Fifty percent (50%) of its value, when the breach that results in its enforceability occurs during the Maintenance Stage, but after eight years have passed since its beginning.

----

 

(iv)                            Thirty percent (30%) of its value when the breach that results in its enforceability occurs after the end of the Maintenance Stage.

 

The Monetary Penalty established in this Agreement, will be considered as a pure and simple penalty and, therefore, cumulative with the compensation of damages in favor of the Grantors and to be charged to the Concessionaire, under the terms of article 1600 of the Civil Code, and will be settled as indicated in the previous numerals.

 

**CHAPTER XIII- DISPUTE RESOLUTION**

 

**CLAUSE 85.- AMIABLE COMPOSITION:**

 

Without prejudice to the application of the exceptional clauses provided for in Law 80 of 1993, any difference related to the aspects that are determined hereinafter, will be resolved through the mechanism of amiable composition, in accordance with the procedures established in law 446 of 1998, Decree 1818 of 1998, or the rules that replace, modify or add them. The issues that the parties have decided that are decided by the amiable composition, are limited to the following:

**CLAUSE 93.- UNILATERAL TERMINATION:**

 

Only during the Adjustment and Expansion Stage, the Grantors may decree the early and unilateral termination of the Agreement, for the reasons and under the conditions set forth in Article 17 of

 

81

----

 

Law 80 of 1993, or in the regulations that add, modify or replace it, in accordance with the provisions of Article 32 of Law 105 of 1993.

 

**CLAUSE 94.- UNILATERAL MODIFICATION:**

 

If during the Adjustment and Modernization Stage it was deemed necessary to modify the Agreement to avoid the stoppage or serious affectation of the service, and if the parties fail to reach an agreement, the Grantors will modify the Agreement by means of an administrative act duly motivated.

 

If the modifications alter the value of the Agreement by twenty percent (20%), or more, with respect to the estimated value of the Agreement, the Concessionaire may waive the continuation of its performance. In this event, the Grantors will order the settlement of the Agreement, as well as the necessary measures to guarantee the termination of its purpose.

 

**CLAUSE 95.- UNILATERAL INTERPRETATION:**

 

If, during the Adjustment and Modernization Stage, disputes arise between the parties regarding the interpretation of its provisions which may lead to the stoppage or to the affectation of the service, and if no agreement is reached, the Grantors shall interpret the provisions or clauses that cause the dispute by means of a duly motivated administrative act.

 

**CLAUSE 96.- REVOCATION OF THE AGREEMENT:**

 

If there is any breach of the obligations in charge of the Concessionaire as established in this Agreement that seriously and directly affects its performance in such a way that it could lead to its stoppage, the Grantors may declare the revocation of the Agreement and order its settlement in the state in which it is found to be, by means of a duly motivated administrative act under the terms and conditions set forth in laws 40 of 1993, 80 of 1993, 418 of 1997, 610 of 2000, 828 of 2003 and other applicable regulations.

Once a cause of revocation has occurred, the Grantors must give written notice to the Concessionaire, informing about the occurrence of the event and the Concessionaire will have a term of twenty (20) Business Days to correct it to the satisfaction of the Grantor or to deliver a plan and a defined schedule to correct the breach. If the breach has not been corrected to the satisfaction of the Grantors or if the plan and the correction schedule presented is not satisfactory for the Grantors, they will notify the occurrence of the non-correction of the breach to the Funders for purposes of the provisions of this Agreement. If the Funders do not take possession of the Concession, either because they do not express their will to do so or because the Grantors do not approve the takeover, the Grantors may declare the revocation immediately.

 

In the event that the Concessionaires declare the revocation of the Agreement, the Concessionaire will immediately deliver the Airports in the state in which they are found to be. If this is not done, the Grantors may take possession of the Concession, for which the Grantors shall draw up minutes in which an inventory of the assets that are part of the Concession, the equipment and other elements provided by the Concessionaire, shall be recorded, as well as the details that are considered to be relevant. These minutes shall be signed by an official appointed by the Grantors,

The new Concessionaire or the Funders, as the case may be, will assume the same obligations and will provide the same guarantees and securities granted by the Concessionaire under this Agreement. Notice will be given by the Grantors to the Funders once the term for the Concessionaire has expired to correct the breach in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, without this breach having been corrected to the satisfaction of the Grantors.

 

The continuation of the execution of the Concession by the Funders or the entity designated by them, will be subject to the prior approval of the Grantors, which will be provided in all case in consideration that the entity designated by the Funders meets the minimum requirements that were taken into account to qualify as acceptable and eligible the offers presented during the Bid. If the Grantors do not give this approval or do not issue a response within a term of thirty (30) Days counted from the notice from the Funders, or if the latter decide not to exercise the right to take over the Concession, the revocation of the Agreement may be declared.

 

In order for full effectiveness of this clause, the Concessionaire will be obligated to make the assignment of the Agreement to the Funders or to the entity designated by them, in the event that the Grantors approve it. Such mandatory assignment will only apply if the takeover is foreseen in the credit agreements.

Such notice to the Grantors will include the statement by the Funders about their willingness to request the taking over the Concession and the removal of the Concessionaire and will send the relevant information for consideration of the Grantors to guarantee that the new Concessionaire or the Funders, as the case may be, will fully assume the performance of the Agreement, providing the same guarantees and securities granted by the Concessionaire under this Agreement.

 

(ii)                                The new Concessionaire or the Funders, as the case may be, must be approved by the Grantors, which will be given in any case provided that the entity designated by the Funders meets the minimum requirements that were taken into account to qualify as acceptable and eligible the offers presented during the Bid. The approval by the Grantors must occur within thirty (30) Days following the presentation of the Funders’ proposal; in the event that the Grantors do not issue a response, it will be understood that the proposal of the Funders has been denied.
