However, in the event the Concessionaire, in the terms and under the conditions of this Agreement, carries out Supplementary Works, the Expected Initial Regulated Revenues shall be adjusted according to the following formula, to give space to the Expected Regulated Revenues of the Agreement:

 



 

Where,

 

IRE =                                                                Expected Regulated Revenues adjusted in constant Pesos of January 2007.

 

IREI =                                                           Amount of the Expected Initial Regulated Revenues.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 



 

Where,

 

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

 

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

 

IREI =                                                           Amount of the Expected Initial Regulated Revenues.

 

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

 

14











 

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

 

TR% =                                                          Actual Update Rate

 

T =                                                                              



 

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

 

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

 



 

Where,

 

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

 

VOCI =                                                        Amount of the Supplementary Works in current pesos

 

IPCt =                                                              IPC on the t period.

 

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

 

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

 



 

15











 

Where,

 

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

 

VOCI =        Amount of the Supplementary Works in current Pesos

 

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

 

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

 

10.6                        MAXIMUM LIMIT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY WORKS:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Their meetings will be held following the regulation that the same committee issues for its operation. The Committee must be constituted and issue its regulations within fifteen (15) Days following the creation of the Escrow. Each member of the committee, other than the officer of the Escrow Agent, will be entitled to one vote and decisions will be made by simple majority. The official of the Escrow Agent will have a voice but not vote.

 

(viii)            The Escrow Agent fees will be freely agreed between the Concessionaire and the Escrow Agent, but in any case the fee must be deducted from the amounts that are in the Main Account and in no case the fee will affect the income of the Grantors or be charged from the resources deposited in the Surplus Account of the Grantors or in the Auditor Account including, in all cases, their yields.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

63











 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

The reports of the Escrow Agent must be presented in such a way as to verify, in a simple and clear manner, all relevant aspects for the performance of this Agreement

 

74.4                        REPORTS RELATED TO THE SETTLEMENT:

 

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

 

CLAUSE 75.- INVESTMENT CRITERIA FOR ESCROW RESOURCES:

 

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

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

 

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

 

CHAPTER XI- INSURANCE AND GUARANTEES

 

CLAUSE 77.- SOLE PERFORMANCE BOND:

 

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

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

 

65











 

78.1                        COVERAGE FOR PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT:

 

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

 



 

Where,

ACCA1                                  =              Compliance coverage value measured in current pesos

ACCA0                                  =              Compliance coverage value included in this clause

IPC0                                                  =             IPC on the month of January, 2007

IPC1                                                  =             IPC on period t

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 



 

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

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

IPC0                                                  =             IPC on the month of January, 2007

IPC1                                                  =             IPC on period t

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

 

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

 

66











 

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

 

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

 



 

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

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

IPC0                                                  =             IPC on the month of January, 2007

IPC1                                                  =             IPC on period t

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

CLAUSE 79.- AIRPORTS CIVIL LIABILITY POLICY

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

67












 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

(iv)                            If, with the advance notice mentioned in the previous numeral, the Concessionaire does not constitute the coverage in the aforementioned conditions due to a supervening impossibility of obtaining them, certified by a certificate issued by the Financial Superintendency, stating that the Colombian market does not offer guarantees under the conditions provided in decree 679 of 1994, this will result in termination of the Agreement, including said situation

 

68











 

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

 

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

 

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

(viii)                      If, within the term for the modification, addition or correction of the policies, these are not corrected, the Agreement will be terminated and its settlement will proceed according to the provisions of this Agreement.

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

 

82.1                        RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSURANCE INEXISTENCE:

 

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

 

82.2                        RISKS ASSUMED BY THE GRANTORS:

 

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

 

69











 

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

 

·                  Declared or undeclared foreign war.

·                  Terrorist Acts.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

However, the Grantors will reimburse the Concessionaire for any costs incurred in such repairs, reconstructions or replacements, without consideration to loss of profit, only in the case of damages caused by risks borne by the Grantor, under the terms of this Clause and when the Concessionaire has given notice to the Grantor and the Auditor about the occurrence of such events within five (5) Days following its occurrence.

 

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

 

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

 

82.4                        INSURANCE TAKEN BY THE GRANTORS:

 

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

 

70











 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Daily fines will be imposed equivalent to a number of Minimum Legal Monthly Salaries -SMMLV- for each Calendar Day after the date set for the performance of the obligations of the Concessionaire, unless expressly stated otherwise.

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

 

83.2                                             FULFILLMENT OF THE MAIN OBLIGATION:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

73











 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

83.4                                             LIMIT FOR THE IMPOSITION OF FINES:

 

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

 

83.5                                           PAYMENT OF FINES:

 

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

 

CLAUSE 84.- PENALTY CLAUSE:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

74











 

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

 

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

The panel may at any time seek advice from experts according to the specialty of the corresponding discussion topic. In any case, the panel may be accompanied by legal professionals who assist in the interpretation of the Agreement.

 

85.2                        AMIABLE COMPOSITEURS FEE:

 

The amiable compositeurs will receive a fee for each dispute that is submitted to their consideration corresponding to the rate that set for amiable compositeurs established by the Chamber of Commerce of Bogota which, for purposes of this Agreement, will have a minimum per controversy of fifteen million pesos ($ 15,000,000) per amiable compositeur, sum that will be indexed as of the year 2009, on January 1 of each year, with the IPC of the immediately preceding year.

 

The aforementioned sum, as well as the expenses demanded by the process, will be paid to the amiable compositeurs in advance by the party that provokes the dispute. If during the process the amiable compositeurs require additional expenses, these will also be assumed by the convoking

 

76











 

party. In any case, the party that is found to be at fault must assume the aforementioned cost, if so determined by the amiable compositeurs in the decisions they make. If this is not the case, the expenses will be distributed among the Concessionaires and the Grantors in equal parts.

 

85.3                        REPLACEMENT OF AMIABLE COMPOSITEURS:

In case of resignation of a member of the panel, this must be replaced by the party that made its appointment or was required to so, within twenty (20) Days following the receipt of the resignation by the parties. Upon expiration of this period without having made the corresponding appointment, the new member of the panel will be appointed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Center of the Chamber of Commerce of Medellín, upon request of either party.

Likewise, the members of the panel will be obliged to know in detail all the aspects of the execution of the Agreement, its modifications and any other aspect relevant to its development, in such a way that they are able to give a rapid and informed response in all cases in which it is convened.

Once the term of performance of the Concession ends in accordance with the provisions of Clause 7, the Concessionaire will be forced to proceed with the reversion and restitution of the Airports, which includes not only the assets that were part of them at the time of delivery by the Grantors but all the Works and all the assets included to the Concession by the Concessionaire or those the Concessionaire has affected to the operation, maintenance, commercial exploitation and administration of the Airports.

 

The restitution and reversion process will be finished when the Grantors issue a certificate stating that they have received all the assets delivered in Concession to the Concessionaire and those included by it into the Concession, in the state and conditions provided in this Agreement, and the Minutes of Termination of the Agreement is signed.

 

There will also be a reversion and restitution of the assets, in the event of the early termination of the Concession Agreement, for any of the reasons provided to that purpose in this Agreement.

 

CLAUSE 89.- DEADLINE FOR THE REVERSION AND RESTITUTION OF THE AIRPORTS:

 

The procedure for the reversion and restitution of the Airports will extend from the signing of the Minutes of Completion of Performance and until the date of termination of the Agreement in which the Minutes of Termination of the Agreement is signed. The process cannot, in any case, have a duration greater than three (3) months.

 

CLAUSE 90.- OBLIGATIONS OF THE CONCESSIONAIRE DURING THE REVERSION AND RESTITUTION OF THE AIRPORTS:

 

During the procedure of reversion and restitution of the Airports, the Concessionaire must perform all the activities of administration, operation, commercial exploitation and maintenance of the

airports but will not be entitled to receive any remuneration for such activity since the Regulated Revenues and the Non-Regulated Revenues revert to the Grantors from the date of signing the Minutes of Completion of Performance.

 

CLAUSE 91.- ACTIVITIES DURING THE REVISION AND RESTITUTION OF THE AIRPORTS:

 

During the procedure, the following activities must be carried out:

 

(i)                                   The Airports will be returned physically and materially to the Grantors in a successive manner, using the same order set for the delivery, through the preparation of an inventory stating the material existence of the assets that are returned, after which the Minutes of Restitution will be signed  for each Airport for which the respective procedure will be accounted for.

 

(ii)                                The Minutes of Restitution will include, for each Airport, an inventory of the assets that make up the reverted and restored Airports, an update of the technical log and the list of the agreements executed and in force for operation, commercial exploitation, administration and maintenance of the Airports, as well as the declaration of the Grantors of having received the file of all the agreements.

 

(iii)                             Once the Minutes of Restitution is signed, the corresponding Airport will be considered reversed.

 

(iv)                            The restitution will take effect from zero hours (00:00) on the day following the signing the Minutes of Restitution and the Grantors will acquire possession of whose property is transferred and will resume administration, operation, commercial operation and maintenance of the respective Airport.

 

(v)                               The assets that make up the Airports or that are required for its administration, operation, commercial operation or maintenance and whose tenancy or property is held by the Concessionaire in any capacity, including those affected by leasing schemes, its components, parts and spare parts, will be reverted to the Grantors.

 

(vi)                            Under no circumstances will additional compensation be caused to the Concessionaire due to the reversal and restitution of the Airports.

(viii)                      Full ownership of assets acquired by the Concessionaire for the performance of the contractual purpose will be transferred to the Grantors without incurring in expenditures, taxes, fees, fares, duties, payments or charges that are caused due to said transfer. The assets will be returned in the same state in which they were delivered to the Concessionaire, considering in any case the wear to which they would have been subjected by time, unless they have been subject to replacement by the Concessionaire, in which case the new assets will be transferred to the Grantor.

 

(ix)                            In order to carry out the reversion of the assets that make up the Airports, intellectual property rights that the Concessionaire has over the computerized and/or mechanical

systems put in place must be assigned to Grantor as well as databases that the Concessionaire has developed in the Airports in compliance with the obligations arising from this Agreement. In the event that a program was implemented of which the Concessionaire is the owner, the latter will issue a lifetime license to the Grantors, including the right to receive the updates developed for said system. This assignment will not be made without any charge from the Concessionaire to the Grantors.

 

(x)                               During the reversion period, the Concessionaire will carry out the last update of the technical log referred to in clause 55, and will include the repairs, updates or replacement of assets that make up the Airports made by the Concessionaire, in compliance with the provisions of Appendix A of this Agreement.

 

(xi)                            As part of the activities of the reversion and restitution, the Concessionaire will deliver to the Grantors a list of the current agreement for the operation, administration, commercial exploitation and maintenance of each one of the Airports.

In general terms:

 

·                  Before building the second substation completely independent from the aeronautical circuits (control tower, communications, radar, AKLS and PAPI lights), which will be built and installed in an area defined by the Aerocivil. From the delivery date of the airports until commencement of construction works and separation of each one of the electrical substations. During this period, the Aerocivil is responsible for guaranteeing the electric power supply and for such purpose they will carry out the relevant procedures with the distributor for electric power supply under the terms established by the utilities law, law 142 of 1943.

 

·                  Moment in which the construction of each substation is completed under the terms of the concession agreement and appendix C — Investment Plan. It refers to a transition period in which the concessionaire shall be responsible for the power supply to airport areas and services.

 

·                  Once the construction has been completed and the second substation is operating in each one of the airports. In a six-month term from delivery to the concession operator, where they will install: generating sets, transfers, UPS, distribution cabinets and other protection and measurement equipment, totally new and in compliance with aeronautical laws according to the loads to be managed, for which the regional aeronautical electrical staff and telecommunications director

will perform the corresponding appraisals. The concessionaire is responsible for supplying power to the airport areas and services, and the Aerocivil shall be responsible for supplying power to the aeronautical areas and services.

 

·                  Totally independent ducts will be built for the aeronautical and airport systems. This new substation will have a free area that will be used for the laboratory, office, lounge, kitchenette and restrooms. The aeronautical circuits connected to UPS and emergencies will be moved and reinstalled entirely at the new substation, both the power circuits and the control circuits, by the concessionaire. All these improvements and works will be carried out by the concessionaire within the first six months following the execution of the concession agreement. The electrical systems and circuits under responsibility of the concessionaire will be periodically checked and verified to make sure that they meet the operational technical requirements and that they meet all the requirements of civil aviation control organisms (OACI).

 

·                  As for the visual aid circuits and systems given to the concession (runway border circuits, taxiways, runway axis, contact zone, windsock, wind vane, beacon), they will be directly controlled and supervised by the Aerocivil and the concessionaire shall facilitate this task. In case of change, replacement or installation of new systems, the concessionaire will have the obligation to prioritize training in these new systems for the Aerocivil employees that will control them. this training shall be provided directly by the manufacturers of the equipment, and the Concessionaire will provide the Aeronautical Electric team with a copy of the manuals and catalogues corresponding to this new equipment.

 

·                  The concessionaire will submit a schedule of the preventive and corrective maintenance activities of the visual aid circuits and systems that they manage, so that the Aerocivil monitor them.

 

The concessionaire shall build, provide equipment, test, and deliver in full operating conditions to the Aerocivil in each one of the airports they are in charge of, as follows:
