Statement”); and (c) submit the Closing Accounts and the Buyer’s Statement to the review of the Auditor (such review to be performed within the scope of work set forth in Schedule 4). The Auditor shall review the Closing Accounts and the Buyer’s Statement and provide the Buyer its procedures report as soon as possible, and in any event within one month after having received the documentation from the Buyer. Within five Business Days thereafter, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Closing Accounts, the Buyer’s Statement and the agreed-upon procedures report of the Auditor. The Closing Accounts together with such Auditor’s report shall be referred hereinafter as the “Reviewed Closing Accounts”. The Buyer undertakes, to the extent possible, to make its best efforts to cause the Auditor to deliver the Reviewed Closing Accounts within such one month period, however, the Buyer shall not be held responsible for any delay in delivering such Reviewed Closing Accounts to the Seller for a delay attributable to the Auditor (in which case, the deadline to deliver the Reviewed Closing Accounts shall be extended, as appropriate). 
(iv)The Seller shall have a period of forty-five calendar days following receipt of such Reviewed Closing Accounts and the Buyer’s Statement to review the materials received and notify the Buyer any discrepancy therein. The Buyer shall provide any reasonable assistance and documentation required by the Seller for the performance of such review in a timely manner and, in particular, shall cause the Companies to provide access to the Seller (on a reasonable and confidential basis, during normal business hours) to the Companies’ accounting or other documents, records and other materials and information and make available, to a reasonable extent, employees and auditors of the Companies, and any other assistance, document or information that the Seller may reasonably request.
(v)If the Seller does not object to the corresponding Price Adjustment resulting from such Buyer’s Statement within the period set forth in the previous paragraph, such Price Adjustment so notified by the Buyer will be deemed to be agreed between the Parties.
(vi)On the contrary, if the Seller objects to the corresponding Price Adjustment resulting from such Buyer’s Statement, it shall notify the Buyer of its disagreement within the forty-five-day period set forth above, indicating the basis of such disagreement and the reasons therefor, indicating its calculation of the Reference Adjusted Net Debt and the resulting Price Adjustment, and providing all back-up calculations and documentation reasonably necessary to support the Seller’s calculations (the “Seller ́s Objection Notice”). In this event, the Buyer and the Seller shall aim to agree on the determination of the Price Adjustment during the ten Business Days following the receipt by the Buyer of the Seller’s Objection Notice. If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to reach an agreement within the time period indicated in the preceding sentence, any or both Parties may submit the discrepancy to the Expert pursuant to the form of engagement letter, to 
- 26 -






be agreed in good faith between the Parties and the Expert during the Interim Period.
(vii)The Expert, when appointed, shall render and notify simultaneously to the Seller and the Buyer its final decision on the discrepancies submitted to its review (for the avoidance of doubt, the Expert shall only review and decide on the discrepancies between the Buyer’s Statement and the Seller’s Objection Notice, but not on any other item) and its calculation of the Reference Adjusted Net Debt and the resulting Price Adjustment (that shall be within the range of the amounts included in the Buyer’s Statement and in the Seller’s Objection Notice). The Expert’s decision, together with a statement of reasons therefor, shall be provided to the Parties within one month from the date of acceptance of its appointment. For these purposes, the Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.
(viii)In the absence of manifest error (in which case the relevant part of the Expert’s determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted back to it for correction), the Price Adjustment determined by the Expert, within the range of the amounts included in the Buyer’s Statement and in the Seller’s Objection Notice, shall be final and binding on the Parties.
(ix)The Buyer and the Seller undertake to cooperate, and the Buyer undertakes to cause the Companies to cooperate, with the Expert, to the fullest extent possible. In particular:
a)the Parties shall promptly deliver to the Expert the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the calculations made by the Buyer (and reviewed by the Auditor) and by the Seller, as well as any other information available to the relevant Party that the Expert may reasonably consider necessary to perform its mandate; and
b)the Buyer shall promptly make available, and cause the Companies to provide access (on a reasonable and confidential basis, during normal business hours) to the Companies’ accounting or other documents, records and other materials and information, and make available employees, auditors and advisors of the Companies, and any other assistance, document or information that the Expert may request, in each case to the extent necessary for the Expert to perform its mandate.
(x)The fees of the Expert shall be borne by the Buyer and the Seller in inverse proportion to the extent to which the Expert decides in favour of each Party. By way of example, if the Buyer’s Statement includes a Price Adjustment of 100 and the Seller’s Objection Notice of 200 and the Expert decides that the correct Price Adjustment is 175, the Buyer shall bear 75% of the Expert’s fees and the Seller the remaining 25%.
- 27 -






ii..Payment of the Price Adjustment. The Price Adjustment shall be paid in cash, in Euros, without any deduction, set-off, withholding or counterclaim, within twenty Business Days following the date on which the Price Adjustment has been finally determined pursuant to Clause 3.3.1 above:

d.Price adjustment of Towers Zweite pursuant to the German SPA; Deferred Purchase Price Portion II
The Buyer acknowledges and accepts that the Purchase Price II is equal to the Base Purchase Price II as adjusted by the Adjustment Amount II, all as defined and determined pursuant to the German SPA. 
In this regard, the Buyer acknowledges, accepts and undertakes to, and the Seller undertakes, without prejudice to Clause 10.6:
(i)That the Base Purchase Price II shall be determined as set forth in the German SPA, depending, in particular, on the total number of Confirmed Roof Top Sites II and Confirmed Tower Sites II (as defined in the German SPA); the Seller shall keep the Buyer fully informed in a timely manner of the notifications received and the actions taken in this respect and shall not exercise any right in this regard pursuant to the German SPA without the prior written consent of the Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(ii)If the Second Closing Date determined pursuant to Clause 6.1.1 is the Closing Date II, the Buyer shall take care in a diligent manner of all the procedures to prepare the Closing Accounts II and determine the Adjustment Amount II pursuant to the German SPA and the Seller shall keep the Buyer fully informed in a timely manner of the notifications received and the actions taken in this respect, and shall not exercise any right in this regard pursuant to the German SPA without the prior written consent of the Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(iii)On the contrary, if the Second Closing Date determined pursuant to Clause 6.1.1 is any date after the Closing Date II, the Seller shall cooperate in good faith with the Buyer in the preparation of the Closing Accounts II and the determination of the Adjustment Amount II pursuant to the German SPA (until the Second Closing Date, as from which moment the previous paragraph will apply), and the Seller shall keep the Buyer fully informed in a timely manner of the notifications received and the actions taken in this respect and shall not exercise any right in this regard pursuant to the 
- 28 -






German SPA without the prior written consent of the Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(iv)The Buyer shall assume the payment and settlement of the Adjustment Amount II, once determined, and for this purpose, the Buyer shall make sure that Towers Zweite complies with any obligation or action and shall take care of any payment to be made by the Seller to Telefónica Germany provided for in this respect in the German SPA, for which purpose, the Buyer shall directly pay in cash (in Euros) to Telefónica Germany the corresponding amount to be paid by the Seller to Telefónica Germany as Adjustment Amount II, on the terms and conditions of the German SPA, on behalf of, and with full indemnity of, the Seller, in which case the payment obligations of the Buyer with respect to the Adjustment Amount II shall be fully complied with. On the contrary, any amounts to be received by the Seller from Telefónica Germany as Adjustment Amount II shall be paid, to the extent possible, directly by Telefónica Germany to the Buyer (for which purpose the Seller will indicate as the account to receive such payment the bank account indicated by the Buyer) or, to the extent the Seller receives any such amount from Telefónica Germany, the Seller shall immediately pass to the Buyer such amount. The general principle is that the settlement of the Adjustment Amount II pursuant to the German SPA is neutral for the Seller, as if such settlement would have occurred directly between Telefónica Germany and the Buyer.
As from the Second Closing Date, the Buyer also assumes in full the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price Portion II, for which purpose the Buyer shall pay in cash (in Euros) to Telefónica Germany the Deferred Purchase Price Portion II determined pursuant to the German SPA on the terms and conditions of the German SPA, on behalf of, and with full indemnity of, the Seller, in which case the payment obligations of the Buyer with respect to the Deferred Purchase Price Portion II shall be fully complied with.

- 29 -

The Auditor shall review the Closing Accounts II, the Zweite Accounts and the Buyer’s Zweite Statement and provide the Buyer its procedures report as soon as possible, and in any event within one month after receiving the documentation from the Buyer. Within five Business Days thereafter, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Closing Accounts II, the Zweite Accounts, the Buyer’s Zweite Statement and the agreed-upon procedures report of the Auditor. The Zweite Accounts together with such Auditor’s report shall be referred hereinafter as the “Reviewed Zweite Accounts”. The Buyer undertakes, to the extent possible, to make its best efforts to cause the Auditor to deliver the Reviewed Zweite Accounts within such one month period, however, the Buyer shall not be held responsible for any delay in delivering such Reviewed Zweite Accounts to the Seller for a delay attributable to the Auditor (in which case, the deadline to deliver the Reviewed Zweite Accounts shall be extended, as appropriate).
(ii)The Seller shall have a period of forty-five calendar days following receipt of the Closing Accounts II, the Reviewed Zweite Accounts and the Buyer’s Zweite Statement to review the materials received and notify the Buyer of any discrepancy therein. The Buyer shall provide any reasonable assistance and documentation required by the Seller for the performance of such review in a timely manner and, in particular, shall cause Towers Zweite to provide access to the Seller (on reasonable and confidential basis, during normal business hours) to Towers Zweite’s accounting or other documents, records and other materials and information, and make available, to a reasonable extent, employees and auditors of Towers Zweite, and any other assistance, document or information that the Seller may reasonably request.
(iii)If the Seller does not object to the Zweite Adjustment resulting from such Buyer’s Zweite Statement within the period set forth in the previous paragraph, the Zweite Adjustment so notified by the Buyer will be deemed to be agreed between the Parties.
(iv)On the contrary, if the Seller objects to the Zweite Adjustment resulting from the Buyer’s Zweite Statement, it shall notify the Buyer of its disagreement within the forty-five-day period set forth above, indicating the basis of such disagreement and the reasons therefor, indicating its calculation of the Adjusted Net Debt of Towers Zweite as of the Economic Closing Date II and as of the Second Reference Date and the resulting Zweite Adjustment and providing all back-up calculations and documentation reasonably necessary to support the Seller’s calculations (the “Seller ́s Objection Notice”). In this 
- 30 -






case, the procedure set forth in Clauses 3.3.1(iv) to 3.3.1(viii) shall apply mutatis mutandis for the final determination of the Zweite Adjustment.
ii..Payment of the Zweite Adjustment. The Zweite Adjustment shall be paid in cash, in Euros, without any deduction, set-off, withholding or counterclaim, within twenty Business Days following the date on which such Zweite Adjustment has been finally determined pursuant to Clause 3.5.1 above:

(ii)If the Estimated Zweite Adjustment less the Zweite Adjustment is a negative number, the Seller shall pay the absolute value of the difference to the Buyer.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Contingent Price would be due only and to the extent that the higher Tax depreciation expenses give rise to a lower Tax due for Corporate Income Tax purposes in any of the fiscal years (not statute-barred) affected and would not exceed €110,000,000; amount which shall be reduced by any Tax damages or losses (including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any Taxes, delay interests, surcharges or penalties claimed or imposed by the Spanish Tax Authority) that Towers Spain or the Buyer may incur as a result of any indirect Tax (including, but not limited to, VAT, Transfer Tax –“Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales y Actos Jurídicos Documentados: modalidad de Transmisiones Patrimoniales Onerosas”-, and/or Stamp Duty –“Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales y Actos Jurídicos Documentados: modalidad de Actos Jurídicos Documentados”-), in connection with the Spin-Off (the Cap Contingent Price).
The Contingent Price would also include any amounts that are effectively recovered or deducted by Towers Spain as a consequence of the reassessment of the corporate income taxes due in fiscal years in which it was not taxed within 
- 31 -






the same Corporate Income Tax group as TME or the Seller, and closed (but not statute-barred) before the First Closing Date and until such date.
For the purpose of this Clause 3.6, “Tax Event” means either:
(iii)in case a claim and/or an appeal before the economic-administrative and/or contentious-administrative jurisdiction (respectively) against the Tax Assessment (as defined Schedule 5) is filed, a formal notification from the Spanish courts declaring that any Tax assessment giving rise to the Step Up is final and not subject to further claim / appeal before that instance; or 
(iv)in case no claim and/or appeal against the Tax Assessment (as defined Schedule 5 - which gives rise to the Step Up-) is filed, the signing of the latter in agreement, or in conformity. 
ii..Payment of the Contingent Price. The Seller shall notify the Buyer of the occurrence of the Tax Event as soon as reasonably possible following such occurrence. 
The Contingent Price shall be paid (subject to the quantitative limitations set forth hereinabove and which in no case shall exceed the Cap Contingent Price) by the Buyer to the Seller, on the later of (i) the twentieth Business Day following the notification of the Tax Event by the Seller to the Buyer; and (ii) the First Closing Date.
g.Anti-Embarrassment Price
i..Anti-Embarrassment Price.

- 57 -






d.Buyer’s actual or constructive knowledge
(i)The Seller shall not be liable for any Misrepresentation to the extent that the facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to such Misrepresentation were fairly disclosed to the Buyer.
(ii)The Buyer represents that it is not aware of any inaccuracy of the Specific Warranties or any other fact or circumstance which could entitle it to serve a Claim Notification against the Seller under this Agreement immediately upon its execution.

e.Time limitation
(i)The Seller shall not be liable for Damages for Misrepresentations unless the Claim Notification is given by the Buyer to the Seller in accordance with this Agreement within twelve months following the Closing Date, except for claims relating to Specific Warranties (i) to (v) of Clause 8.1 above, in which case the Buyer may bring a claim against the Seller at any time until the expiry of the applicable statute of limitations (periodo de prescripción legal).
(ii)Therefore, the Seller will not be obliged to indemnify the Buyer for claims made by the Buyer for Misrepresentations once such terms have expired, unless a claim is already in process. Therefore, any valid claim made within the abovementioned periods, as applicable, will entail the extension of the abovementioned term of indemnification for such claim until its full settlement according to this Agreement. 
f.De minimis and Overall Deductible
(i)The Seller shall not be liable for any individual claim for Misrepresentations (or a series of claims arising from substantially identical facts or circumstances) where the Damages agreed or determined for any such claim or series of claims does not exceed the Individual Deductible. Where the Damages agreed or determined in respect of any such claim or series of claims exceeds the Individual Deductible, such claim or series of claims shall be considered from the first euro and not just the amount in excess of the Individual Deductible.
Nevertheless, in the event of a claim for a Misrepresentation in relation to the Specific Warranties 8.1(xiv) and 8.1(xv), the liability of the Seller shall not be subject to the Individual Deductible.
(ii)The Seller shall not be liable for any claim for Misrepresentations unless the aggregate amount of all such claims for which the Seller would otherwise 
- 58 -






be liable exceeds the Overall Deductible. Where the liability agreed or determined in respect of all such claims exceeds the Overall Deductible, the liability of the Seller shall be limited to the Damages in excess of the Overall Deductible.
g.Maximum liability
The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for Damages for Misrepresentations shall be: 
(i)with respect to Damages for breaches of the Specific Warranties (i) to (v) of Clause 8.1 above, the Price corresponding to the Company to which the relevant breach relates to; and
(ii)€300,000,000 with respect to Damages for breaches of the other Specific Warranties of Clause 8.1 above;
provided that in no circumstances the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller under this Agreement for all concepts shall exceed the Price.
h.Other limitations on Seller’s liability for Specific Warranties
Without prejudice that no limitation on liability set out in this Agreement shall apply where there has been wilful misconduct (dolo), the Seller shall not be liable for Damages for Misrepresentations (nor for the amount of the Damages increased) if the Misrepresentation has arisen as a result of or in connection with:
(i)Any act, omission or transaction of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the date of this Agreement (or of any of the Companies after the Closing Date) done, committed or effected other than in order to comply with applicable law or pursuant to a legally binding commitment to which the Companies are subject on or before the Closing Date;
(ii)Any matter fairly disclosed in this Agreement, including its Schedules;
(iii)Any matter specifically covered by a provision or reserve included in the accounts of the relevant Company as of 30 September 2020;
(iv)Any matter or action permitted, done or omitted to be done pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement or otherwise at the request or with the approval of the Buyer if request for approval was made in good faith;
(v)The passing of, or any change in, after the Closing Date, any applicable law or administrative practice of any government, governmental department, agency or regulatory body, including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any increase in the Tax rates or any imposition of Tax or any withdrawal of relief from Tax not actually (or prospectively) in effect at the Closing Date;
- 59 -






(vi)Any change after the Closing Date of any generally accepted accounting principles, procedure or practice; or
(vii)Any change in accounting or Tax policy, bases or practice of the Companies introduced or having effect after the Closing Date (or after the date of this Agreement if such change is fairly required by the statutory auditor or required to comply with any applicable law).
i.Contingent claims or liabilities 
The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any liability which is contingent unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable. This provision shall not operate to avoid a claim for Misrepresentations made in respect of a contingent liability within the time limit specified in Clause 8.5 above.
j.Net financial benefit
To the extent the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (or the Companies as from the Closing Date) have effectively received any savings or net quantifiable benefit arising directly from certain Damages or the facts giving rise to such Damages (for example, where the amount, if any, by which any Tax for which the Buyer, any of its Affiliates or the Companies – as from the Closing Date – would otherwise have been accountable or liable to be assessed is actually reduced or extinguished as a direct result of the matter giving rise to such liability), the Seller shall only be obliged to indemnify for Misrepresentation in an amount equivalent to the Damages less the amount of the relevant savings or net quantifiable benefit.
k.Recovery from insurers and third parties
The Seller shall not be liable for Damages for Misrepresentations to the extent such Damages are effectively recovered and reimbursed to the Buyer by an insurance policy or any other third party. For the purposes of this Clause, Damages shall be limited to the insurance proceeds effectively recovered by the Buyer, thus excluding any direct expenses borne by the Buyer in order to effectively recover such amount.
If the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Companies) is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from an insurer or any other third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Buyer or any of the Companies (in whole or in part) for the Damages or liability which is the subject matter of the claim, the Buyer shall procure that best endeavours are used and all reasonable steps are taken to enforce the recovery against the insurer and/or third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs, Taxes and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery.
- 60 -






If the Seller has paid any amount in discharge of any such claim and subsequently the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Companies) recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from an insurer or third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Buyer or any of the Companies (in whole or in part) for such Damages or liability, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that the relevant Company shall, pay to the Seller as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to (i) any sum recovered from the insurer and/or third party less any reasonable costs, Taxes and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery, or if less (ii) the amount previously paid by the Seller to the Buyer. Any payment made by the Buyer or any of the Companies to the Seller under this Clause shall be made by way of further adjustment of the Price paid by the Buyer for the Shares to the extent possible in accordance with applicable accounting rules (IFRS).
l.Forecasts and projections 
The Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Seller does not give or make any warranty or representation as to the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates, projections, statements of intent or statements of opinion provided to the Buyer or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors on or prior to the date of this Agreement, including those recorded in Data Room USBs, if any.
m.Mitigation of Damages
The Buyer shall use best endeavours and take all reasonable steps and give all reasonable assistance to avoid or mitigate any Damages for Misrepresentations, which, in the absence of mitigation, might give rise to or increase the Seller’s liability pursuant to this Agreement. However, nothing in this Clause 8.13 shall limit the Buyer or Buyer’s Group from taking any action to comply with applicable law or any contractual obligation.
n.Claims procedure
i..Notice
The Buyer shall notify the Seller, in writing and in any event within the time limits set forth in Clause 8.5 above, of any circumstance which may give rise to an indemnification for Misrepresentation, as soon as possible and, in any event, within fifteen Business Days of its discovery, describing in reasonable detail its claim, setting out such information as is available to the Buyer or the Companies as is reasonably necessary to enable the Seller to assess the merits of the claim and mentioning the amount of the Damages sought or the specific criteria for determining the same (the “Claim Notification”).
- 61 -






ii..Investigation by the Seller
In connection with any matter or circumstance that may give rise to a Claim Notification:
(i)The Buyer shall allow, and shall procure that the Companies allow, the Seller to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Claim Notification and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such Claim Notification; and
(ii)The Buyer shall disclose to the Seller all material of which the Buyer is aware which relates to the Claim Notification and shall, and shall procure that the Companies, give all such reasonable information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, provided that all information made available to the Seller under this Clause shall be treated as Confidential Information.
iii..Negotiation between the Parties
The Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith during a period of one month from the date of receipt of the Claim Notification in an attempt to reach an agreement with respect to:
(i)The existence of liability for breach of the Specific Warranties, and
(ii)The amount of the Damages to be paid, where applicable, as a result of said liability.
In the event that an agreement is not reached by the Parties, the Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing within five Business Days after the end of the negotiation period whether it rejects or accepts its liability and, in the latter case, the amount which it recognizes that must be paid. If the Seller does not give said notification, it shall be deemed to have rejected the Claim Notification in its entirety.
In the event that the Seller recognizes liability, in whole or in part, it shall pay the amount which it would have accepted within the period set forth in Clause 8.2 above, without prejudice to the Buyer’s right to demand the balance of its claim.
Any Claim Notification shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be irrevocably withdrawn six months after the notice is given, unless at the relevant time legal proceedings in respect of the claim have been commenced by being both issued and served.
iv..Third Party Claims
In the event that a third party (including any authority) makes a claim against the Companies or the Buyer which could give rise to an indemnification pursuant to 
- 62 -






this Clause 8 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Buyer expressly recognizes the Seller’s right to defend said Third Party Claim.
Where this occurs, the following procedure shall apply:
1.As soon as it becomes aware of the Third Party Claim, and in any event before a third of the time laid down for replying thereto has elapsed, the Buyer shall notify, or cause the Companies to notify, the Seller of the existence of said claim. 
2.In addition, the Buyer shall notify, or cause the Companies to notify, the Seller within a reasonable time of the commencement of inspection activities which could give rise to an indemnification pursuant to this Clause 8, the Buyer giving the Seller the opportunity to jointly participate in the inspection procedure.
3.Provided that it has previously accepted in writing its liability in respect of Third Party Claims (but without prejudice to facts or circumstances not known at such time that could limit the liability of the Seller), the Seller shall have the right to carry on or handle the defence of Third Party Claims at its own expense, by providing a notice in writing to the Buyer within ten Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Third Party Claim (and, in any event, not later than the end of the first half of the term available for replying to or answering the Third Party Claim). Such right of defence includes taking such action as it shall deem necessary to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or contest the Third Party Claim (including making counterclaims or other claims against third parties) and to have the conduct of any related proceedings, negotiations or appeals, through all appropriate procedures. If the Seller has not previously accepted in writing its liability, the defence shall be assumed by the Buyer, acting in good faith and making its best efforts, to limit the Damages as far as possible. 
4.As an exception to the above, in the event the Third Party Claim may have material reputational or future negative implications for the Buyer and its group, the Buyer shall be entitled, at its absolute discretion, to undertake the defence of such Third Party Claim jointly with the Seller (in the event the Seller is willing to assume the defence). To that purpose, each Party shall nominate a representative who, acting jointly, will manage all negotiations and correspondence with the claimant in good faith, trying to minimize the Damages as well as the reputation or future negative implications for the Buyer and its group. If the Parties, acting in good faith, are unable to reach a joint position, the reasonable criteria of the Seller shall prevail, unless the Buyer waives its right to Damages for such Third Party Claim, in which case the Buyer will be entitled to defend the Third Party Claim alone.
- 63 -






5.In particular, the Seller may, in good faith and in view of minimising the potential liability, participate in and manage all negotiations and correspondence with the claimant or the inspection authorities, appoint a lawyer and court procedural representative. In this connection, the Buyer undertakes: (a) to perform the necessary formalities to ensure that the Companies affected grant sufficient powers of attorney to the Seller or the persons designated by it; (b) to provide the Seller with the information and documents necessary for the defence until the claim is definitively resolved; (c) to cooperate in good faith with the Seller in all aspects relating to the defence until the claim is definitively resolved; (d) not to take any measure with respect to the claim that could be in conflict with the defence assumed by the Seller or be detrimental to same, until the claim is definitively resolved; and (e) to adopt the measures reasonably requested by the Seller in relation to the defence until the claim is definitively resolved.
6.The Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with the defence of the Third Party Claim and shall ensure that the Companies cooperate, allow the Seller to have access to the relevant commercial registers and documents and allow the Seller and its advisors to consult their employees and the advisors of the Companies.
7.The Seller shall keep the Buyer promptly informed of the progress of any such Third Party Claims for which it has assumed their defence, promptly make available to the non-defending Party all notices, communications and filings in respect of such Third Party Claim and in any event with sufficient time so as to allow the Buyer to meaningfully review and comment on all documentation prior to the filing thereof with the applicable court, arbitration panel or other body. The Seller shall consider in good faith and, when reasonable or advisable, implement such comments or other consideration. Also, the Seller shall allow one or more individuals designated by the Buyer to attend and participate in all meetings and hearings in respect of such Third Party Claim to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law.
8.While the Seller is handling in good faith the defence of any Third Party Claim, the Buyer shall not settle or allow the Companies to settle the same. Furthermore, the right of the Buyer to be indemnified shall not be enforceable unless there is a Ruling with respect to the Third Party Claim.
9.The Seller may only settle the claim or reach an agreement with the third party after good faith consultation with the Buyer and provided that, prior to or at the same time, it makes available to the Buyer or the Companies, as appropriate, any indemnification which may be payable under this Clause 8.
10.In the event that the Seller notifies the Buyer that it is not going to assume the defence of the Third Party Claim or does not respond within the abovementioned period provided, the Buyer shall assume, or shall cause the Companies to assume, the defence of the Third Party Claim in good faith, making its best efforts to limit the Damages as far as possible. In any 
- 64 -






case, the Buyer may only allow the Companies to accept any liability in relation to such claim or reach any settlement agreement after good faith consultation with the Seller and provided that if the Seller does not agree, the Seller shall have the right to take over from that moment the defence of the Third Party Claim. Nevertheless, any voluntary regularization by the Companies and the signature of any assessments on an uncontested basis, as the case may be, shall require the prior written consent of the Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld.
11.In the event the Buyer or the Companies undertake the defence of the Third Party Claim, all costs incurred in defending it (if the Seller finally becomes obliged to indemnify the Buyer under the terms of this Agreement, and to the extent reasonably incurred and properly documented) shall be included within the calculation of the Damages.
v..Other breaches
For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties declare that nothing in this Clause 8 shall limit their ability to claim damages and losses (daños y perjuicios) determined in accordance with the Spanish Civil Code (Código Civil) in the event of a breach by the other Party to fulfil its undertakings provided throughout in this Agreement (other than for Specific Warranties), provided that, in no circumstances, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller under this Agreement for all concepts shall exceed the Price.
9.TERMINATION AND PARTIAL TERMINATION
a.Causes of termination
This Agreement may only be terminated (resuelto), totally or as regards some of the Companies or Towers Zweite, prior to the corresponding Closing, by the following Party in the following events.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as regards a Company or Towers Zweite:
(i)Following the Closing of such Company or of Towers Zweite; or 
(ii)Prior to Closing of such Company or of Towers Zweite, other than as a result of the termination events specifically set forth below.
i..Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated (resuelto) as regards all or part of the Companies or Towers Zweite upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties. If this Agreement is terminated, in whole or in part as regards certain Companies or Towers Zweite, under this Clause 9.1.1, no Party shall have any other liability or further obligation to the other Party as regards such Companies or Towers Zweite, except as otherwise agreed between the Parties or as provided in Clause 9.3 below.
- 65 -






ii..Non-satisfaction or waiver of the First Closing Conditions Precedent by the Long Stop Date. This Agreement may be terminated (resuelto) by the Seller only, as regards all or some of the Companies or Towers Zweite, if the First Closing Conditions Precedent (which also applies to the Second Closing) have not been satisfied or waived prior to the Long Stop Date (or the Extended Long Stop Date) on the terms set forth in Clause 4.1 (and without prejudice to Clause 4.1.6) for any reason non attributable to the Seller.
If this Agreement is terminated with regard to any of the Companies or Towers Zweite under this Clause 9.1.2, without prejudice to Clause 9.3 below, the Buyer shall be obliged to pay to the Seller a lump sum in cash (the “Break-up Fee”) equal to 2.5% of the part of the Base Price attributable to the Companies affected by the termination (to be agreed in good faith by the Parties) (or the Base Purchase Price II, in the case of Towers Zweite).
The corresponding Break-up Fee shall be payable within ten Business Days following the date on which the Termination Notice is sent by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to Clause 9.2 below.
For the avoidance of doubt, the right of Seller to the Break-up Fee hereunder is absolute and is not subject to, dependent or conditional on any negligence, delay, breach, misfeasance, nonfeasance or any condition attributable to or misconduct on the part of the Buyer, unless the non-satisfaction of any of the First Closing Conditions Precedent results from any action, act or omission attributable to the Seller.
iii..Non-satisfaction of the German Condition Precedent by the Second Long Stop Date. This Agreement may be terminated (resuelto) only as regards Towers Zweite by any of the Parties if the German Condition Precedent has not been satisfied prior to the Second Long Stop Date on the terms set forth in Clause 4.2, provided that the Seller shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Clause 9.1.3 if the non-satisfaction of the German Condition Precedent is due to a breach of its obligations pursuant to Clause 4.2.2. 
iv..Breach to perform the Closing Actions. This Agreement may be terminated (resuelto) by the non-breaching Party as regards any Company or Towers Zweite, whose Closing has not been performed yet, in the event of a material non-compliance or material breach by the other Party to perform its Closing Actions pursuant to Clause 6.
Each Party’s right to terminate this Agreement, totally or partially, as applicable under Clauses 9.1.2, 9.1.3, and 9.1.4 above, shall not exclude the non-breaching Party’s right to claim damages and losses (daños y perjuicios) determined in accordance with the Spanish Civil Code (Código Civil), and arising from a breach of the other Party’s obligations hereunder. 
- 66 -






b.Procedure of termination
Any termination by the Buyer or the Seller pursuant to Clause 9.1 shall be notified by a written notice to the other Party, which shall indicate the termination provision in this Agreement claimed to provide a basis for termination of this Agreement in whole or regards a certain Company or Companies or Towers Zweite (the “Termination Notice”).
Termination of this Agreement in whole or regards a certain Company or Companies or Towers Zweite duly effected pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Clause 9.1 shall be effective upon and as of the date of delivery of a Termination Notice, without prejudice to the right of the other Party to object to such termination pursuant to applicable law.
c.Effects of termination; survival of certain Clauses
Upon the termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, in whole or as regards the corresponding Company or Companies or Towers Zweite, as applicable, shall terminate, except that:
(i)Their respective obligations (i) with respect to the Company or Companies or Towers Zweite not affected by the termination; and (ii) under Clauses 1, 8.14, 9, 13, 14 and 15 (as well as 11 in respect of the Clauses that remain in force), as applicable, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms;
(ii)Nothing in this Clause 9 shall relieve any Party of any liability for a breach of this Agreement prior to the termination hereof; 
(iii)As soon as practicable following such termination and, in any event within the following ten Business Days, the Buyer (a) shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and advisors to) destroy and procure the destruction of all originals and copies of any and all non-public information and documentation relating to the Transaction, the Business and the Companies or Towers Zweite affected by the termination provided to any of them in any format during the Due Diligence Process, including all documents, reports and other information prepared by any of them which contain or reflect all or part of such information (the “Confidential Information”), and, so far as it is practicable to do so, permanently expunge and erase and procure the permanent erasing of all electronic copies of any such Confidential Information, except to the extent that any of these obligations were contrary to any applicable law or bona fide internal compliance policies regarding retention of documents which are applicable to the Buyer or where it is required by any court of competent jurisdiction, and backed-up data created pursuant to any routine back-up or archiving procedure, and (b) shall provide to the Seller a certificate confirming the destruction and erasure of all the Confidential Information; and
- 67 -






(iv)the Parties shall not disclose (and shall procure that none of its Affiliates and none of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and advisors discloses) any part of the Confidential Information to any third party, except as required by applicable law or a court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, nor use it for any purpose, including, in particular, in respect of the Buyer, for causing any harm or seeking any competitive advantage with respect to the Telxius Towers Europe Division.
The undertakings in paragraphs (iii) and (iv) of this Clause 9.3 shall remain in force and effect during a period of five years from the date on which this Agreement is totally or partially terminated. 
10.OTHER RIGHTS AND UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PARTIES
a.Foregoing civil action
Except in the event of wilful misconduct (dolo), the Buyer undertakes not to seek any liability or take or bring any action, and to cause the Companies not to seek any liability or take or bring any action, against the officers and directors of the Companies and of Towers Zweite (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the directors resigning on each Closing Date) and the officers and directors of the Seller, by reason of their acts as such in relation to the Companies and Towers Zweite and, in particular, the individual or company action for liability provided for in articles 238 and 241 of the Spanish Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), and in article 367 thereof, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction. The undertaking in this paragraph shall not prejudice, reduce or restrict the liability of the Seller hereunder.
b.Undertaking to cease using the Telxius Tradenames
(i)The Buyer acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the Telxius Tradenames are owned exclusively by the Seller and that any and all rights of the Companies or Towers Zweite to use the Telxius Tradenames (including as part of their corporate name) shall terminate as of the corresponding Closing Date (without prejudice of the provisions in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below). For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges that neither this Agreement nor the Transaction contemplated herein confers upon the Buyer or any of its Affiliates any rights in respect of the Telefónica tradenames and that none of the Companies nor Towers Zweite has any right in respect of such tradenames.
(ii)The Buyer shall cause the Companies and Towers Zweite to approve and implement the modification of their corporate names so that they do not include any Telxius Tradename no later than one month after the corresponding Closing Date (except in the event a delay is due to facts or circumstances occurred before the Closing Date or due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer, the Companies or Towers Zweite).
- 68 -






(iii)The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies and Towers Zweite to (i) cease all use and/or display of the Telxius Tradenames and all references to such Telxius Tradenames (in particular, but without limitation, on their websites, on any advertising support material and correspondence) no later than two months after the corresponding Closing Date, and (ii) cease the display of the Telxius Tradenames in all locations within four months after the corresponding Closing Date (except in the event a delay is due to facts or circumstances occurred before the Closing Date or due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer, the Companies or Towers Zweite). 
(iv)The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, no later than ten Business Days from the date specified in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above (except in the event the delay is due to facts or circumstances occurred before the Closing Date or due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer, the Companies or Towers Zweite), a certificate, duly signed by a duly empowered representative of the Buyer, that the Companies and Towers Zweite, as applicable in each case, have ceased using the Telxius Tradenames as set forth in each such paragraph.
(v)In the event that a breach of the undertakings specified in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) is attributable to the Buyer, the Companies or Towers Zweite, the Buyer shall be obliged to pay the Seller a penalty of €2,000 for each day of delay. For the avoidance of doubt, any delay in implementing the change of corporate name or in ceasing the use and/or display of the Telxius Tradenames for any reason not attributable to the Buyer, the Companies or Towers Zweite will not trigger any penalty. 
c.Termination of intragroup agreements and inter-company balances and services agreements
On or before, as applicable, each Closing Date:
(i)The Seller shall cause the Companies and the relevant entities of the Telefónica Group to terminate the corresponding Closing Terminated Agreements, and to terminate and settle any outstanding inter-company balances and arrangements resulting from such Closing Terminated Agreements, including any redemption penalties.
(ii)The Parties agree that the provision of the intragroup services to the relevant Companies from the corresponding Closing Date shall be governed by the existing services agreements, so that the Companies can continue to develop their business in the ordinary course in accordance with past practice. Should the provision of any of such services require third party licenses or consents from entities not within the Telefónica Group, the Seller will make its best efforts, and the Seller shall cause the corresponding Company to make its best efforts, to obtain the necessary licenses or consents by the corresponding Closing Date. The corresponding Company, provided that the Buyer has granted its prior 
- 69 -






written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, will bear the costs of obtaining such licenses or consents.
To this effect, the Parties shall execute on the First Closing Date the Seller Service Agreement Side Letter, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 8, and the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the Telefónica Service Agreement Side Letter duly executed by Telefónica, S.A., substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 8. The Buyer shall return to the Seller a signed copy of the Telefónica Service Agreement Side Letter on the First Closing Date.
(iii)With respect to each of the agreements, respectively, listed in Schedule 10, the Seller will make its best efforts, and the Seller shall cause the corresponding Company to make its best efforts, to obtain a declaration of the relevant counterparty waiving any rights with respect to a change of control under the respective agreement. The corresponding Company, provided that the Buyer has granted its prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, will bear the costs of obtaining such waivers.
d.Undertaking to preserve employment in the Companies and in Towers Zweite
The Buyer shall cause that, during a period of two years from each Closing Date, the Companies and Towers Zweite, as applicable (i) preserve the employment and the labour terms and conditions of their employees (such as fixed and variable salary, social benefits, category, workplace, etc.) as of the corresponding Closing Date and (ii) do not reduce the workforce by carrying out individual or collective dismissals, except for individual terminations based on disciplinary or non-performance grounds.
e.Replacement of Performance Parent Guarantees
The Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Seller has guaranteed in front of the relevant counterparties the full performance by Towers Germany, Towers Erste and Towers Zweite of their obligations pursuant to (i) the master lease agreement entered into between Towers Germany, as "Lessor", and Telefónica Germany and E-Plus, as "Lessees", on 20 April 2016; (ii) the master lease agreement entered into between Towers Erste and Towers Zweite, as "Lessors", Telefónica Germany, as "Lessee", and the Seller, as "Guarantor" regarding cell tower sites, on 8 June 2020; and (iii) the master lease agreement entered into between Towers Erste and Towers Zweite, as "Lessors", Telefónica Germany, as "Lessee", and the Seller, as "Guarantor" regarding rooftop sites, on 8 June 2020 (all such guarantees, the “Performance Parent Guarantees”).
The Buyer shall procure that on the First Closing Date or on the Second Closing Date, as applicable, or if not possible on such dates due to the lack of consent by the counterparties, on such other date as requested by the Seller, (i) all the 
- 70 -






Performance Parent Guarantees relating to the relevant company the subject matter of each Closing are cancelled or replaced by the Buyer by providing to the relevant beneficiary an alternative company guarantee or other form of security arrangement acceptable to such beneficiary, and (ii) the Seller is fully released from such Performance Parent Guarantees. The Seller shall cooperate in good faith for the Buyer to comply with its obligations in this paragraph.
If for any reason the Performance Parent Guarantees are not cancelled or replaced (and/or the Seller is not released in full) by the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as applicable, the Buyer shall (i) procure the cancellation, replacement and release as soon as reasonably practicable after the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as applicable; (ii) indemnify in full and hold the Seller harmless from and against any claims that may be brought against, and damages and losses that may be suffered or incurred (including amounts claimed and costs incurred) by, the Seller which may arise out of or be based upon or in connection with the enforcement of any such Performance Parent Guarantees at any time after the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as applicable, with any such indemnification to be paid by the Buyer to the Seller immediately on first demand by the Seller, in full, without any deduction, withholding, set-off, retention or counterclaim; and (iii) to secure the obligation in item (ii) above but without prejudice to the Buyer’s full personal liability (responsabilidad patrimonial universal), the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, on the First Closing Date or the Second Closing Date, as applicable, a bank guarantee issued by a reputable bank with establishment in Spain in a maximum amount of €10,000,000, to be returned to the Buyer upon the full cancellation or replacement of the corresponding Performance Parent Guarantees with full release of the Seller. 
f.Back-to-back agreement as regards the Seller’s position under the German SPA
Consistent with the purpose of the Transaction, it is the intention of the Parties that the risks and liabilities as well as benefits and rights of the German SPA flow from the Seller to the Buyer as if the later would have been subrogated in the position of the Seller in the German SPA, on a “back-to-back” basis.
Therefore, as a general principle from the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall not exercise any right under the German SPA or make any claim against Telefónica Germany pursuant to the German SPA without the prior written consent of the Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Buyer shall have the right, acting in good faith, to direct the Seller to exercise any such right or make any such claim pursuant to the German SPA. This shall not apply to any risks and liabilities as well as benefits and rights in relation to (i) the Down Payment, (ii) the Preliminary Purchase Price I, (iii) the preparation of the Closing Accounts I, (iv) the Adjustment Amount I (each as defined in the German SPA), as well as (v) any rights and/or claims of Telefonica Germany towards the Seller which are based on a Seller’s breach of any of its obligations or a 
- 71 -






misrepresentation by the Seller pursuant to the German SPA (the “Seller’s Risks and Benefits”).
Furthermore, as a general principle, and with the exception of the Seller’s Risks and Benefits, from the First Closing Date as regards Towers Erste (to date merged into Towers Germany) and from the Second Closing Date as regards Towers Zweite, all the rights and obligations of the Seller pursuant to the German SPA shall be exercised and complied with by the Seller in its own name, but for the account, at the expense of, and upon the instructions of, the Buyer, that shall assume and accept in full all the risks and benefits thereof, so that the economic position of the Parties as regards the German SPA is, as part of the Transaction, as close as possible as if the Seller had assigned and transferred to the Buyer, who had acquired, assumed and accepted the German SPA, the Seller being fully released from all its obligations and liabilities thereunder as from the relevant Closing Date.
Accordingly, and with the exception of the Seller’s Risks and Benefits, the general principle is that the settlement of claims, liabilities or benefits pursuant to the German SPA (for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the corresponding obligation lies with the Seller or Telefónica Germany) (i) is completely neutral for the Seller, and (ii) occurs in such way that the Buyer is to the greatest possible extent treated as a party to the German SPA, as if such settlement would occur directly between Telefónica Germany and the Buyer.
Therefore, other than with respect to the Seller’s Risks and Benefits, the Buyer shall (i) procure the release, payment, satisfaction or cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable of any claim or liability of the Seller towards Telefónica Germany pursuant to the German SPA, and (ii) indemnify in full and hold the Seller harmless from and against any claims that may be brought against, and damages and losses that may be suffered or incurred (including amounts claimed and costs reasonably incurred, however only if such are minor costs or costs incurred with the prior written consent of the Buyer) by the Seller pursuant to the German SPA. Likewise, the Buyer shall be entitled to direct the exercise of any right of the Seller pursuant to the German SPA and the Seller shall procure that Telefónica Germany pays, to the extent possible, directly to the Buyer (for which purpose the Seller will indicate as the account to receive such payment, the bank account indicated by the Buyer) the net amount of any benefit obtained from the exercise of any right under the German SPA or, to the extent the Seller receives any such net amount from Telefonica Germany, the Seller shall immediately pass to the Buyer such net amount. 
Likewise, any prejudice or negative effect deriving from the exercise by Telefónica Germany of any right pursuant to the German SPA (for instance, any rescission right, right to penalties, etc.) that is attributable to any breach by the Buyer of the back-to-back principles or undertakings set forth in this Agreement (in particular, but not limited to, the obligation to make any payment in a timely manner to Telefónica Germany) shall be for the sole account of the Buyer, with full indemnity of the Seller. To the contrary, any prejudice or negative effect deriving from the 
- 72 -






exercise by the Seller or Telefónica Germany of any right pursuant to the German SPA (for instance, any rescission right, right to penalties, etc.) that is attributable to any breach by the Seller of the back-to-back principles or undertakings set forth in this Agreement (in particular, but not limited to, the obligation to obtain the Buyer’s written consent prior to the exercise of any rights or to adhere to the Buyer’s instructions) shall be for the sole account of the Seller, with full indemnity of the Buyer.
For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to the Seller’s Risks and Benefits, the assumption by the Buyer of the commitment to procure the release, payment, satisfaction or cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable of claims or liabilities of the Seller pursuant to the German SPA, including, in particular, the assumption of the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price Portion I and the Deferred Purchase Price Portion II and the Adjustment Amount II as set forth herein, has been taken into consideration when negotiating and agreeing the Price of Towers Germany and Towers Zweite and, therefore, the satisfaction of such payments by the Buyer shall not entail any right of the Buyer to be reimbursed by the Seller for such payments.
In particular, but without prejudice of the general principles set forth above, the following shall be agreed between the Parties, it being understood that the following shall not apply to the Seller’s Risks and Benefits:
(i)The Buyer acknowledges and accepts, in particular, the procedure set forth in section 2.2 of the German SPA for the carve-out of roof top sites and tower sites in the Spin-off II (as defined in the German SPA) in 2021. The Seller shall keep the Buyer fully informed of the development of such procedure and pass to the Buyer any relevant notification received from Telefónica Germany in this regard and undertakes to obtain the Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any response or action or the exercise of any right by the Seller in respect thereof. If the Buyer directs the Seller to exercise the right to acquire additional roof top sites in an asset deal within the twelve-month period after Closing II pursuant to paragraph (d) of section 2.2.2 of the German SPA, the Buyer shall immediately acquire (or cause the German Companies to acquire) such sites from the Seller and shall pay any amount to be paid by the Seller to Telefónica Germany as a consequence thereof directly to Telefónica Germany on the terms and conditions of the German SPA, on behalf of, and with full indemnity of, the Seller.
(ii)The Seller shall obtain the Buyer’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before exercising the Seller’s rescission right regarding Towers Zweite pursuant to the German SPA in the event of breach of the Negative Closing Condition II set forth in section 6.2.1(c) of the German SPA.
(iii)As from the First Closing Date, the Buyer assumes in full the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price Portion I, for which purpose the Buyer shall 
- 73 -






directly pay in cash (in Euros) to Telefónica Germany the Deferred Purchase Price Portion I determined pursuant to the German SPA on the terms and conditions of the German SPA, on behalf of, and with full indemnity of, the Seller.
(iv)To secure the obligation in the previous paragraph as regards the Deferred Purchase Price Portion I and in the last paragraph of Clause 3.4 above as regards the Deferred Purchase Price Portion II, and without prejudice to the Buyer’s full personal liability (responsabilidad patrimonial universal), the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, in each case to be returned upon the full satisfaction of the Deferred Purchase Price Portion I or II, as applicable, (i) on the First Closing Date, a first demand guarantee issued by a reputable bank with establishment in Spain in a maximum amount of the Deferred Purchase Price Portion I, and (ii) on the Second Closing Date, a first demand guarantee issued by a reputable bank with establishment in Spain in a maximum amount of the Deferred Purchase Price Portion II. 
(v)The Buyer undertakes to ensure that after the relevant Closing Date the German Companies continue to comply with the undertakings set forth in section 11.4 of the German SPA, with full indemnity of the Seller for any consequence from any breach of such undertakings. 
(vi)The Buyer shall take care, as of the relevant Closing Date and with full indemnity of the Seller, of the obligations regarding the release from Dismantling Guarantees (as defined in the German SPA) pursuant to section 11.6 of the German SPA.
(vii)The Seller undertakes to promptly notify the Buyer of any claim received from Telefónica Germany and the Buyer shall have the right, acting in good faith and at its own expense, to carry on and handle the defence against any such claim. Such right of defence includes taking such action as it shall deem necessary to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or contest the claim (including making counterclaims or other claims against third parties) in the name of and on behalf of the Seller and to have the conduct of any related proceedings, negotiations or appeals, through all appropriate procedures, and shall enjoy exclusive power with respect to the handling and control of said defence.
(viii)Likewise, the Buyer shall have the right, acting in good faith and at its own expense, to direct the Seller to exercise any right under the German SPA and make any claim against Telefónica Germany pursuant to the German SPA (including, for instance, but not limited to, as regards Defective Sites (as defined in the German SPA), as regards Stray Sites (as defined in the German SPA), for breach of covenants, for breach of representations and warranties), including the right to the conduct of any related proceedings, negotiations or appeals, through all appropriate procedures, and shall enjoy exclusive power with respect to the handling and control of said claim.

(ix)While the Buyer is directing in good faith the handling of the defence of any claim from Telefónica Germany or the exercise of any right or claim against Telefónica Germany pursuant to the German SPA, the Seller shall not settle or reach a compromise without the prior written consent of the Buyer. The Seller shall not be entitled to take any action pursuant to the German SPA unless so directed by the Buyer.
