later than the Filing Deadline, prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement on
Form F-3 relating to the resale of all of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, or the facilities of

necessary information from the Investor, to cause the Commission to declare the Registration

          2.2 Ineligibility for Form F-3. In the event that Form F-3 is not available for the
registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the
resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the

- 2 -









 






Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the
Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.




          2.3 Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If the Registration
Statement is not filed by the Company with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline, then
for each day following the Filing Deadline, until but excluding the date the Registration Statement
is filed, or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the
Effective Deadline, then for each day following the Effective Deadline, until but excluding the

Shares pursuant to this Agreement, but only in respect to such Shares that are not eligible
(without any volume limitations or other restrictions) for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any other
rule of similar effect; and for any such 30-day period, such payment shall be made no later than
three business days following such 30-day period. If the Investor shall be prohibited from selling
Shares under the Registration Statement as a result of a Suspension of more than thirty (30) days
or Suspensions on more than two (2) occasions which in the aggregate are more than thirty (30) days
in any 12-month period, then for each day on which a Suspension is in effect that exceeds the
maximum allowed period for a Suspension or Suspensions, but not including any day on which a
Suspension is lifted, the Company shall pay the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, but only in respect to such Shares that are not eligible (without any volume limitations
or other restrictions) for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect, an amount
per 30-day period equal to 1.0% of the purchase price paid by such Investor for its Shares pursuant
to this Agreement for each such day, and such payment shall be made no later than the first
business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. For
purposes of this Section 2.3, a Suspension shall be deemed lifted on the date that notice that the
Suspension has been lifted is delivered to the Investor pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any
liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 2.3 to the Investor in respect of the same Shares for
the same period of time or (ii) in an aggregate amount that exceeds 10% of the purchase price paid
by the Investor for the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Such payments shall be made to the
Investor in cash.




     SECTION 3. Related Obligations.



          3.1 At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the
Commission pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company shall also be obligated to:



          (a) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
the Registration Statement effective until the earliest of (i) one year after the effective date of
the Registration Statement or (ii) such time as the Shares become eligible for resale by the
Investor without any volume limitations or other restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in
no event shall the Company have any obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective after
such time as all of the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 or
any other rule of similar effect;



- 3 -









 





          (b) furnish to the Investor with respect to the Shares registered under the Registration
Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such number of copies of prospectuses
and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public
sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares by the Investor;




          (c) file documents required of the Company for normal Blue Sky clearance in states specified
in writing by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it
is not now so qualified or has not so consented;




          (d) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in Section 2.1 and paragraphs
(a) through (c) of this Section 3.1 and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration
Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Investor or
underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Investor, if any in
connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement;




          (e) file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a
copy thereof to the Investor promptly after filing;




          (f) issue a press release describing the transactions; and




          (g) in order to enable the Investor to sell the Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, for a period of one year from Closing, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with
the requirements of Rule 144, including without limitation, use its commercially reasonable efforts
to comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) with respect to public information about the
Company and to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor
statute (collectively, the “1934 Act”).




     The Company understands that the Investor disclaims being an underwriter, but the Investor
being deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder. A
draft of the proposed form of the questionnaire related to the Registration Statement to be
completed by the Investor is attached hereto as Appendix I.



     SECTION 4. Obligations of the Investor



          4.1 Experience. The Investor has completed or caused to be completed the Registration
Statement Questionnaire attached hereto as part of Appendix I, for use in preparation of
the Registration Statement, and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the date hereof and
will be true and correct as of the effective date of the Registration Statement and the Investor
will notify the Company immediately of any material change in any such information provided in the
Registration Statement Questionnaire until such time as the Investor has sold all of its Shares or
until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement effective.




          4.2 Transfer of Shares After Registration. The Investor agrees that it will not
effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to purchase the Shares that would constitute a
sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities laws,




- 4 -









 







except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 2.1 or as
otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of
distribution.




          4.3 Public Sale or Distribution. The Investor hereby covenants with the Company not
to make any sale of the Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement without complying with
the provisions of this Agreement and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery
requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (whether physically or through compliance with
Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), and the Investor acknowledges and agrees
that such Shares are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the certificate submitted
to the transfer agent evidencing the Registrable Securities is accompanied by a separate
Purchaser’s Certificate of Subsequent Sale: (i) in the form of Appendix II hereto, (ii)
executed by an officer of, or other authorized Person designated by, the Investor, and (iii) to the
effect that (A) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with the Registration
Statement, the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and (B) the
prospectus delivery requirement effectively has been satisfied. The Investor acknowledges that
there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus (the
“Prospectus”) forming a part of the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until
such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared
effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with
the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act. Without the Company’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, the Investor shall not use any written
materials to offer the Registrable Securities for resale other than the Prospectus, including any
“free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act. The Investor covenants that
it will not sell any Shares pursuant to said Prospectus during the period commencing at the time
when Company gives the Investor written notice of the Suspension of the use of said Prospectus and
ending at the time when the Company gives the Investor written notice that the Investor may
thereafter effect sales pursuant to the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 45 consecutive days, and any one or
more Suspensions shall not be for a period longer than 60 days in the aggregate in any 365 day
period. The Investor further covenants to notify the Company promptly of the sale of all of its
Shares.




          4.4 Confidentiality. The Investor shall maintain in confidence the receipt and
content of any notice of a Suspension (as defined in Section 4.3 above).




     SECTION 5. Indemnification.



          5.1 For the purpose of this Section 5.1:





(i) the term “Investor/Affiliate” shall mean any affiliate of the
Investor, including a transferee who is an affiliate of the Investor, and
any Person who controls the Investor or any affiliate of the Investor
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act; and



- 5 -









 






(ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus,
exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any
document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement
referred to in this Agreement.



          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each
Investor/Affiliate, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several,
to which the Investor or Investor/Affiliates may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act,
or any other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise
(including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent
of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including
the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part
thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any
information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph
(b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rules 430B, 430C or 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the
Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations,
or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no
Rule 424(b) filing is required or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or
supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and will promptly reimburse
the Investor and each Investor/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are
reasonably incurred by such Investor or such Investor/Affiliate in connection with investigating,
defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein, or
(ii) the failure of such Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements in Sections 4.2 or
4.3 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares, or (iii) any statement or omission in any Prospectus
that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Investor prior to the
pertinent sale or sales by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company’s
liability to the Investor under this Section 5.1 shall not exceed the proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of Shares to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

          (b) The Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of
its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling Person may become subject,
under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, Spanish corporate and securities laws and regulations, U.S.
federal and U.S. state statutory law or regulation, U.S. common law or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the written consent of
such Investor) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply
with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof respecting the sale of
the Shares or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment
or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling
Person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling Person in connection with
investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
expense or action; provided, however, that the Investor’s aggregate liability under this
Section 5.1 shall not exceed the amount of proceeds received by the Investor on the sale of the
Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.




          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.1 of notice of the
threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 5.1 promptly notify the indemnifying
party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it
from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a
result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such
indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all
other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the
positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such
action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that
are different from or additional to those available to the



- 7 -









 






indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the
indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 5.1 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to
the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be
liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be
at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any action without its written consent. In no event shall any indemnifying party be
liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party
shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided, however,
that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement
provides for the unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that
are the subject matter of such proceeding.




          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.1 is required by its terms but is
for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5.1 in respect to any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Investor from the private placement
of Shares under the Purchase Agreement, the relative fault of the Company and the Investor in
connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
in the Purchase Agreement and/or the Registration Statement that resulted in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Investor to the Company pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement for the Shares purchased by such Investor that were sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount the
Investor paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount
received by the Investor from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Investor on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to
information supplied by the Company or by the Investor and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or



- 8 -









 






prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 5.1, any legal or other fees
or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any
action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 5.1 with respect to the
notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for
contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no
additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been
given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 5.1, the Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.




     SECTION 6. Information Available. The Company, upon the reasonable request of the
Investor, shall make available for inspection by the Investor, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by the Investor or any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, employees and
independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Investor or any such
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement.



     SECTION 7. Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The restrictions imposed by
Section 4.2 upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular
number of the Shares upon the earlier of (i) the passage of two years from the effective date of
the Registration Statement covering such Shares and (ii) at such time as an opinion of counsel
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such
conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the 1933 Act.



     SECTION 8. Assignment of Registration Rights.



          The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investor to any
transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities if:




          (a) the Investor and the transferee or assignee sign an agreement in which the Investor agrees
to assign such rights, the transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by all of the provisions
contained herein and the Company is stated to be a third party beneficiary of such agreement by the
transferee or assignee to be bound by all of the provisions of this agreement, and a copy of such
agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment;




          (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (ii) the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned;




- 9 -









 








          (c) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such
securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state
securities laws;




          (d) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the
Purchase Agreement; and




          (e) such transfer shall have been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal and
state securities laws.




     SECTION 9. Amendment of Registration Rights.



          Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this Section 9 shall be binding upon the Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be
effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable
Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a
waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also
is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.




     SECTION 10.  Miscellaneous.



          10.1 A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or
is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
such record owner of such Registrable Securities.




          10.2 Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given
under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:
(i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses
and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:

such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such

OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
