     Re:    Employment Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”)

Dear Phil:

     When we learned you were contemplating retiring from Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (“Cooper”),
we discussed with you the continuation of your services during the period of transition of your
duties as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to your successor. This letter confirms the
agreement between you and Cooper with regard to this period of transition and your subsequent
retirement:

	1.	 	PERIOD OF TRANSITION — Beginning as of the date of this letter and continuing until
December 31, 2009, you shall remain an employee of Cooper pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. You will continue to fulfill, to the best of your abilities, the duties and
obligations of the position of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer until the earlier to
occur of (a) the naming by Cooper of your successor; or (b) December 31, 2009. Upon the
earlier to occur of (a) the naming by Cooper of your successor; or (b) December 31, 2009, you
will relinquish your position as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Should the
relinquishment of your position occur prior to December 31, 2009, you will continue to work
until December 31, 2009 on an orderly transition of your former duties and obligations to your
successor. During the period from the date of this Agreement until December 31, 2009 you
shall continue to receive your current annual base salary in accordance with Cooper’s normal
payroll practices and continue to be entitled to those employee benefits currently being
received by you.

	2.	 	RETIREMENT — You will retire from Cooper as of December 31, 2009. You shall receive
the following benefits upon your retirement:

	 	(a)	 	Your pension benefit under the Spectrum Retirement Plan and any nonqualified
deferred compensation plan will be calculated based upon your retirement date of

Page 2

	 	 	 	December 31, 2009 except as provided for in Subparagraph (i) below. You will
receive payment of your retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of the applicable
Plan documents provided, however, that the Spectrum Retirement Plan and
Non-Qualified Supplementary Benefit Plan, when considered as a whole, will provide
benefits to you no less favorable than what would have been provided to you had the
provisions of the Spectrum Retirement Plan and Non-Qualified Supplementary Benefit
Plan in effect as of June 6, 2000 remained in effect, except that service credits
under the Spectrum Retirement Plan and Non-Qualified Supplementary Benefit Plan
cease to accrue after June 30, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Qualified
Supplementary Benefit Plan, your non-qualified benefit shall be payable in a lump
sum cash payment equal to the actuarial equivalent of the retirement pension you
have accrued under the Non-Qualified Supplementary Benefit Plan.

	 	 	 	For purposes of this Section 2(a), “actuarial equivalent” shall be determined using
the 1994 Uninsured Pensioner Mortality Table (UP-94) and annual compound interest at
the Corporate Bond yield average for bonds rated Aaa by Moody’s reduced by fifty
(50) basis points (.5 percent). The rate chosen from the aforementioned table will
be for the month of August 2009 and will be truncated to the lower 0.25% increment
(e.g. 6.00%, 6.25%, 6.50%, etc).
	 
	 	(b)	 	All stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and, if earned, performance
based stock units (“PSU’s) will continue to be governed by applicable Plan provisions
except, however, one-third of the number of stock options granted to you as of April 6,
2009, shall vest on December 31, 2009. All shares of stock representing RSU or PSU
distributions will be made within 5 business days following the later of the final
determination and approval of the related number of shares to be issued or the vesting
date applicable to each pursuant to the terms of the plans and your elections
thereunder.
	 
	 	(c)	 	You will receive, no later than January 15, 2010, a lump sum payment of
$545,800, less applicable tax withholding.
	 
	 	(d)	 	You will receive a minimum payment at the 100% level (50% of your current base
salary) for your 2009 Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) up to a maximum payment at the 200%
level, should such payment be determined payable pursuant to the AIP. Payment of the
AIP amount shall be on the same date that payments under the AIP are paid to others but
in no event later than March 15, 2010. The metrics and measurement formulas of the AIP
have been provided to you previously by Mark Krivoruchka, Senior Vice President of
Human Resources, in a note titled “Clarification items” dated May 4, 2009 and, for
purposes of this Agreement, the AIP and AIP’s metrics and measurement formulas, are not
subject to further changes.

	 	(e)	 	Except as provided for in Subparagraph (i) below, for purposes of calculating
your payment under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), you shall be considered to
have remained an employee until December 31, 2009. LTIP distributions, if any, will be
paid pursuant to LTIP terms. The metrics and measurement formulas of the 2009
performance under the LTIP in effect for 2009 have been provided to you previously by
Mark Krivoruchka, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, i) in your “2009 Executive
Compensation Plan” letter dated April 17, 2009 and ii) in a note titled “Clarification
items” dated May 4, 2009 and, for purposes of this Agreement, the LTIP in effect for
2009 and the LTIP’s metrics and measurement formulas, are not subject to further
changes.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Cooper shall provide you with a vehicle, pursuant to Cooper’s vehicle program
provisions currently in effect, until the earlier of: (a) your death; or (b) December
31, 2011.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Cooper shall pay the premiums for your retiree medical insurance and your
Cooper provided life insurance plan for a period of two years following your retirement
date.
	 
	 	(h)	 	For purposes of Section 409A, Cooper agrees that you will have incurred a
separation from service as defined in Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(n) as of the date
of your retirement.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, should you die prior to your retirement date of
December 31, 2009, the compensation and benefits provided hereunder shall cease as of
the date of your death and your legal beneficiaries shall be eligible for survivorship
benefits, if any, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plans,
except, however, your legal beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, upon your
death, if it were to occur prior to December 31, 2009, (a) a continuation of your base
salary pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 herein; (b) vesting of unvested stock
options and distribution of shares equal to the number of RSU’s or PSU’s earned
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(b) herein; (c) any unpaid lump sum amount
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(c) herein; (d) distribution of AIP amounts
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(d) herein; (e) prorata amounts earned under
LTIP Programs pursuant to provisions of Section 2(e) herein; and (f) provision of
retiree medical insurance pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 (g) herein.

	3.	 	MUTUAL AGREEMENT AND RELEASE -
	 
	 	 	Upon execution of this Agreement and, in consideration of entering into this Agreement, the
Amended and Restated 2009 Employment Agreement entered into as of December

 

 

Philip G. Weaver

Page 4

22, 2008 by you and Cooper (“Employment Agreement”) shall be superseded and of no further
force and effect and the parties hereto release and forever discharge each other, their
affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, successors, assigns,
representatives, agents, heirs and counsel from all claims, losses, liabilities,
responsibilities, obligations, damages, causes of actions and suits, including attorney
fees, against each other arising out of the Employment Agreement.

In consideration of you entering into this Agreement, Cooper agrees to pay all amounts and
benefits due or earned under this Agreement if your employment is terminated by Cooper for
any reason prior to December 31, 2009, conditioned upon your full compliance with the
provisions in Section 4 herein and your execution and delivery of the release, as described
in the paragraph below.

The receipt of benefits and payments set forth in Sections 2 (b); 2 (c); 2 (d); 2(f); and
2(g) herein are conditioned upon you, or, in the event of your death prior to December 31,
2009, for receipt of those benefits which may be payable to your legal beneficiaries,
pursuant to Section 2 (i) herein, your legal beneficiary and the authorized representative
of your estate, executing and delivering a release in substantially the form of Exhibit A,
attached hereto.

The parties hereto understand and agree that the rights and obligations set forth in this
Section 3 are perpetual and, in any case, extend beyond the term of this Agreement.

	4.	 	SECRECY AND NON-COMPETITION —

	 	(A)	 	No Competing Employment. For so long as you are employed by Cooper to
provide services and continuing for one (1) year after the termination of your
employment for any reason (the “Non-Compete Period”), you shall not, unless you receive
the prior written consent of Cooper’s Board, directly or indirectly, whether as owner,
consultant, employee, partner, venturer, agent, through stock ownership (except
ownership of less than one percent (1.0%) of the number of shares outstanding of any
securities which are publicly traded), investment of capital, lending of money or
property, rendering of services, or otherwise, compete with any of the businesses
engaged by Cooper or any of Cooper’s affiliates at the time of the termination of your
retainer hereunder (such businesses are hereinafter referred to as the “Business”), or
assist, become interested in or be connected with any corporation, firm, partnership,
joint venture, sole proprietorship or other entity which so competes with the Business.
The restrictions imposed by this Section shall not apply to any geographic area in
which neither Cooper nor any of its affiliates is engaged in the Business.
	 
	 	(B)	 	No Interference. During the Non-Compete Period, you shall not, whether
for your own account or for the account of any other individual, partnership, firm,

 

 

Philip G. Weaver

May 27, 2009

Page 5

	 	 	 	corporation or other business organization or entity (other than Cooper),
intentionally solicit, endeavor to entice away from Cooper or any of its affiliates
or otherwise interfere with the relationship of Cooper or any of its affiliates
with, any person who is employed by or associated with Cooper or any of its
affiliates (including, but not limited to, any independent sales representatives or
organizations) or any person or entity who is, or was within the then most recent
12-month period, a customer or client of Cooper or any of its affiliates.
	 
	 	(C)	 	Secrecy. You recognize that the services to be performed by you
hereunder are special, unique and extraordinary in that, by reason of your continued
employment and your past employment with Cooper, you may acquire or have acquired
confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operation of Cooper or any of
its affiliates, the use or disclosure of which could cause Cooper substantial loss and
damages which could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be
adequate. Accordingly, you covenant and agree with Cooper that you will not at any
time, except in performance of your obligations to Cooper hereunder or with the prior
written consent of Cooper’s Board, directly or indirectly, disclose any trade secret or
confidential information that you may learn or have learned by reason of your
association with Cooper or any of its affiliates, or use any such information to the
detriment of Cooper or any of its affiliates. The term “confidential information”,
includes, without limitation, information not previously disclosed to the public or to
the trade by Cooper’s management with respect to Cooper or any of its affiliates’
products, manufacturing processes, facilities and methods, research and development,
trade secrets, know-how and other intellectual property, systems, procedures, manuals,
confidential reports, product price lists, customer lists, marketing plans or
strategies, financial information (including the revenues, costs or profits associated
with Cooper or any of its affiliates’ products), business plans, prospects or
opportunities. You understand and agree that the rights and obligations set forth in
this Section are perpetual and, in any case, shall extend beyond the Non-Compete Period
and your employment hereunder.
	 
	 	(D)	 	Exclusive Property. You confirm that all confidential information is
and shall remain the exclusive property of Cooper. All business records, papers and
documents kept or made by you relating to the business of Cooper shall be and remain
the property of Cooper. Upon the termination of your employment with Cooper or upon
the request of Cooper at anytime, you shall promptly deliver to Cooper, and shall not,
without the consent of Cooper’s Board (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), retain copies of, any written materials not previously made available to the
public, records and documents made by you or coming into your possession concerning the
business or affairs of Cooper excluding records relating exclusively to the terms and
conditions of your relationship with Cooper. You understand and agree that the rights
and

 

 

Philip G. Weaver

	 		 	obligations set forth in this Section are perpetual and, in any case, shall extend
beyond the Non-Compete Period and your employment hereunder.
	 
	 	(E)	 	Injunctive Relief. Without intending to limit the remedies available
to Cooper, you acknowledge that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section may result in material irreparable injury to Cooper for which there is no
adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such
injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, Cooper
shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or
permanent injunction restraining Cooper from engaging in activities prohibited by this
Section or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the
covenants in this Section.
	 
	 	(F)	 	Extension of Non-Compete Period. In addition to the remedies Cooper
may seek and obtain pursuant to this Section, the Non-Compete Period shall be extended
by any and all periods during which you shall be found by a court possessing personal
jurisdiction over you to have been in violation of the covenants contained in this
Section.

	5.	 	CHANGE IN CONTROL — Should a Change in Control occur prior to your retirement, then
upon the earlier of (i) a Change in Control, as defined in Cooper’s Change in Control
Severance Pay Plan (“CIC”), or (ii) a declaration by Cooper’s Board that a Change in Control
is imminent, Cooper shall a) vest all unvested stock options, RSU’s earned and PSU’s earned,
b) immediately distribute common shares in exchange for your surrender of your rights to RSU’s
and PSU’s, and c) fund payments otherwise due under this Agreement as outlined in Sections 6
and 7 of the CIC.

	6.	 	EFFECT OF SECTION 409A OF THE CODE  — Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, if Cooper determines that any payments or taxable benefits to be provided to
you pursuant to this Agreement are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section
4091A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (the
“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such payments and benefits are otherwise required
under this Agreement unless payment is delayed for at least six (6) months following the date
of your “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Section 409A) with Cooper,
then:

     a)(i) such payments shall be delayed until the date that is six months after the date
of your “separation from service” with Cooper, or for shorter period of time that Cooper
determines is sufficient to avoid the imposition of the 409A Taxes (the “Payments Delay
Period”), and (ii) such payments shall be increased by an amount equal to interest on such
payments for the Payments Delay Period at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect as of the
date the payment was first due (for this purpose, the prime rate will be based on the rate
published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal) (the “Interest Rate”); and

 

 

Philip G. Weaver

     (b)(i) with respect to the provision of such taxable benefits, for a period of six
months following the date of your “separation from service” with Cooper, or for shorter
period of time that Cooper determines is sufficient to avoid the imposition of the 409A
Taxes (the “Benefits Delay Period”), you shall be responsible for the full cost of providing
such taxable benefits, and (ii) on the first day following the Benefits Delay Period, Cooper
shall reimburse you for the costs of providing such benefits imposed on you during the
Benefits Delay Period, plus interest accrued at the Interest Rate.

	7.	 	LEGAL FEES AND EXPENSES —  If it should appear to you that Cooper has failed to
comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that Cooper or any
other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or
unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or
to recover from you, the benefits provided or intended to be provided to you hereunder, Cooper
irrevocably authorizes you to retain counsel of your choice, at the expense of Cooper, to
advise and represent you in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense.
Cooper will pay and be solely financially responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related
fees and expenses incurred by you in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, in
regard to such matters, you have not failed to prevail in at least one asserted claim, have
not acted frivolously, in bad faith or with no colorable claim, and have not asserted a claim
in violation of the release required to be executed by you pursuant to Section 3 herein.

	8.	 	GOVERNING LAW — All matters affecting this Agreement, including the validity
thereof, are to be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with the substantive
laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such
State.

	9.	 	CONSTRUCTION — There is no verbal understanding between us, and this Agreement
supersedes all prior proposals or other agreements between us concerning your employment with
Cooper and your subsequent retirement. All conditions of your employment and your subsequent
retirement are set forth in this Agreement, or contained in the applicable compensation and
benefit plans. No amendment or modification to this Agreement shall be effective unless in
writing and signed by you and Cooper. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Ohio.

     If the foregoing correctly expresses our understanding, please signify your agreement hereto
and return to the undersigned one executed copy and retain the duplicate hereof for your records.

was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined in
Section 1(b) hereof); any reference herein to “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” refers to any
“issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act; and any reference herein to
any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 6 of Form F-3 under the Act, as of the date of
such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be;

               (ii) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Time” is 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on

Prospectuses, if any, and other documents listed on Schedule II(a) hereto, taken together
(collectively, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”) as of the Applicable Time, did not include any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule II(a) or

Package as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that
this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in the Pricing
Prospectus or an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter through Canaccord Adams Inc. expressly for
use therein;

               (iii) No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer

or transportation of hazardous or toxic materials (collectively, “Environmental Laws”) and

6

 

(ii) are
in compliance in all material respects with all terms and conditions of any such permit,

liabilities associated with Environmental Laws (including, without limitation, any capital or
operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with
Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating
activities and any potential liabilities to third parties) would not, singly or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the general affairs, business,

Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole;

incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

               (xxi) The pro forma financial information set forth in the Registration Statement and the

or claim by others challenging the validity and scope of any Intellectual Property and the Company
does not know of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim. There is no

others that the Company or any of its products or processes or the Intellectual Property infringe
or otherwise violate any patent, trademark, servicemark, copyright, trade secret or other
proprietary right of others and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable
basis for any such claim. The Company is not aware of (i) any grounds for an interference

of a patent from each of the patent applications described in the Pricing Prospectus. There is no

to any invention or other intellectual property right or compensation from the Company for any
invention or other intellectual property right made by such employee, consultant or agent in the
course of his/her employment with the Company or otherwise. There is no act or omission by the

threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

               (xxiv) The Company is not an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter”

               (xxx) The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of
the Exchange Act and has been designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Except as disclosed in the
Pricing Prospectus, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and the
Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting;

               (xxxi) Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by
reference in the Pricing Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting;

               (xxxii) The principal executive officers (or their equivalents) and principal financial
officers (or their equivalents) of the Company have duly made all certifications required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and any related rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission, and the statements contained in any such certification are complete
and correct as of the respective dates thereof. The Company has established and maintains and
evaluates “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the

of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder that are then in
effect, is implementing the provisions thereof in accordance thereof, and is actively taking steps
to ensure that it will be in compliance with other applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
not currently in effect upon the effectiveness of such provisions;

               (xxxiv) As the time of filing of the Registration Statement, the Company was not, and the
Company on the date of this Agreement is not, an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under
the Act;

               (xxxv) Without the prior consent of Canaccord Adams Inc., the Company has not made and will
not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as

the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Company, its
subsidiaries or their ERISA Affiliates (as defined below) are in compliance in all material
respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or a subsidiary, any
member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b),(c),(m) or (o) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the
“Code”) of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined
under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit
plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates.
No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of
their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of
unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor
any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i)
Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan”
or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or
maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by
action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification;

               (xxxviii) The Company satisfies the eligibility requirements for the use of a registration
statement on Form F-3 as in effect prior to October 21, 1992;

               (xxxix) The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all

States, Spain, the European Union or elsewhere), the rules and regulations thereunder and any
related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any
governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding
by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the
Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the
best knowledge of the Company, threatened. In addition, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent or employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly,
that would result in a violation of any applicable money laundering regulations in Spain, and in
particular, in Law 19/1993, of December 28, on Money Laundering, as amended by law 19/2003, of July
4 and as developed by Royal Decree 925/1995, of June 9 and Ministerial Order 2652/2002, of October
24;

International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as amended, and all regulations, decrees and orders
promulgated thereunder, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively,
the “Export Control and Foreign Assets Control Laws”). No action, suit, investigation, or
proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body involving the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries with respect to the Export Control and Foreign Assets Control Laws is pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Company, threatened. The Company has agreed that it will not cause or
permit, directly or indirectly, use of any of the proceeds of the offering of Securities, or lend,
contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or
other person or entity, for the purpose of furthering, facilitating or financing any transaction by
the Company or such other person or entity that would be prohibited by the Export Control and
Foreign Assets Control Laws if performed or engaged in by a United States person or a person
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, as the case may be, in either event as defined by
the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or
within the United States;

               (xli) The Company is a “foreign private issuer” (as defined in Regulation S under the Act);

               (xlii) The Company was not a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) within the meaning of

current and expected assets, income and operations as described in the Registration Statement,
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (or any documents incorporated by reference therein),
the Company does not believe that it will become a PFIC for the tax year ending December 31, 2009
or any future tax year, and intends to conduct its affairs in a manner to avoid becoming a PFIC
with respect to any tax year, although there can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will
not change in the future;

11

 

               (xliii) The Company is not a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of the Code.

has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to sell, assign, transfer and
deliver the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder;

               (ii) The sale of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder and the
compliance by such Selling Stockholder with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach
or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute,
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such

     2. Shares Subject to Sale. On the basis of the representations, warranties and
agreements contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement:

          (a) The Selling Stockholder agrees to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the
Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Selling Stockholder, at the
First Time of Delivery, at a purchase price per share of $17.70, the number of Firm Shares to be
purchased by such Underwriter as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule
I hereto; and

          (b) In the event and to the extent that the Underwriters shall exercise the election to
purchase Optional Shares as provided below, the Selling Stockholder agrees to sell to each of the
Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the
Selling Stockholder, at the Second Time of Delivery, at the purchase price per share set forth in
clause (a) of this Section 2, that number of Optional Shares determined by multiplying the number
of Optional Shares as to which such election shall have been exercised (to be adjusted by Canaccord
Adams Inc. so as to eliminate fractional shares) by a fraction, the

13

 

numerator of which is the maximum number of Optional Shares which such Underwriter is entitled
to purchase as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and the
denominator of which is the maximum number of Optional Shares that all of the Underwriters are
entitled to purchase hereunder.

     The Selling Stockholder hereby grants to the Underwriters the right to purchase at their
election up to 466,495 Optional Shares, at the purchase price per share set forth in clause (a) of
this Section 2, for the sole purpose of covering sales of shares in excess of the number of Firm
Shares. Any such election to purchase Optional Shares may be exercised only by written notice (the
“Election Notice”) from Canaccord Adams Inc. to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, given
within a period of 30 calendar days after the date of this Agreement and setting forth the
aggregate number of Optional Shares to be purchased and the date on which such Optional Shares are
to be delivered, as determined by Canaccord Adams Inc. but in no event earlier than the First Time
of Delivery or, unless Canaccord Adams Inc. and the Company and the Selling Stockholder otherwise
agree in writing, earlier than two or later than ten business days after the date of such notice.

     3. Offering. Upon the authorization by Canaccord Adams Inc. of the release of the
Firm Shares, the several Underwriters propose to offer the Firm Shares for sale upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Prospectus.

     4. Closing. Certificates in definitive form for the Shares to be purchased by each
Underwriter hereunder, and in such denominations and registered in such names as Canaccord Adams
Inc. may request upon at least forty-eight hours’ prior notice to the Selling Stockholder, shall be
delivered by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder to Canaccord Adams Inc. for the account of
such Underwriter, against payment by such Underwriter or on its behalf of the purchase price
therefor by wire transfer of same day funds to the account specified by the Selling Stockholder all
at the office of Canaccord Adams Inc., 99 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The time and
date of such delivery and payment shall be, with respect to the Firm Shares, 9:30 a.m., Boston
time, on June 2, 2009 or such other time and date as Canaccord Adams Inc. and the Company and the
Selling Stockholder may agree upon in writing, and, with respect to the Optional Shares, 9:30 a.m.,
Boston time, on the date specified by Canaccord Adams Inc. in the Election Notice, or at such other
time and date as Canaccord Adams Inc. and the Company and the Selling Stockholder may agree upon in
writing. Such time and date for delivery of the Firm Shares is herein called the “First Time of
Delivery,” such time and date for delivery of the Optional Shares, if not the First Time of
Delivery, is herein called the “Second Time of Delivery,” and each such time and date for delivery
is herein called a “Time of Delivery.” Such certificates will be made available for checking and
packaging at least twenty-four hours prior to each Time of Delivery at such location as Canaccord
Adams Inc. may specify. If the Underwriters so elect, delivery of the Shares may be made by credit
through full fast transfer to the accounts at the Depository Trust Company designated by Canaccord
Adams Inc.

     5. Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees with each of the Underwriters:

          (a) To prepare the Prospectus in a form approved by the Underwriters and to file such
Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act not later than Commission’s close of

if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by the rules and regulations of the
Commission under the Act, to make no further amendment or any supplement to the Registration
Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or Prospectus which shall be reasonably disapproved by Canaccord
Adams Inc. promptly giving reasonable notice thereof; to advise Canaccord Adams Inc., promptly

Adams Inc. copies thereof; to advise Canaccord Adams Inc., promptly after it receives notice
thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or

initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the
Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus
or Prospectus or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or

to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction;

months after the time of issuance of the Prospectus in connection with the offering or sale of the
Shares and if at such time any events shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as
then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made when such Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule
173(a) under the Act) is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be
necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the
Act, to notify Canaccord Adams Inc. and upon Canaccord Adams Inc.’s request to prepare and furnish
without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer in securities as many copies as the
Underwriters may from time to time reasonably request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to
the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, and in case
any Underwriter is required by law to deliver a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred
to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) in connection with sales of

Shares, without the prior written consent of Canaccord Adams Inc. other than the sale of the Shares
to be sold by the Company hereunder;

          (g) During the Lock-Up Period, not to, without the prior written consent of the Canaccord

statement, under the Securities Act which registers, or offers for sale, Ordinary Shares or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, except for a
registration statement on Form S-8 relating to employee benefit plans; provided however, that

          (l) To give prompt notice to Canaccord Adams Inc. if at any time following issuance of an
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Pricing

Company and the Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling Stockholder in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

21

 

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any
legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party,
effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to,
any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may
be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such
action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional
release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii)
does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or
on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of
any action or claim effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the
Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not
permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under
subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative
benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and
the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling
Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company and the Selling Stockholder, bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a

22

 

material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholder on the one hand or the Underwriters
on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by
an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), (i) no
Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) the
Selling Stockholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of an amount equal to
the product of the number of Shares sold by the Selling Stockholder, including any Optional Shares,
and the public offering price of the Shares set forth in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several
in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

          (e) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholder under this Section 8 shall be
in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholder may otherwise
have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriter under this
Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise
have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the
Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

     9. Termination.

          (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has
agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, Canaccord Adams Inc. may in its sole discretion
arrange for it or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained
herein. If within thirty-six (36) hours after such default by any Underwriter, Canaccord Adams
Inc. does not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company or the Selling Stockholder
shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six (36) hours within which to procure another
party or other parties satisfactory to Canaccord Adams Inc. to purchase such Shares on such terms.
In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, Canaccord Adams Inc. notifies the
Company and the Selling Stockholder that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the
Company and the Selling Stockholder notify Canaccord Adams Inc. that it has so arranged for the
purchase of such Shares, Canaccord Adams Inc. or the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall have
the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for

23

 

a period of not more than seven (7) days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be
made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or
arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus which in Canaccord Adams Inc.’s opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term
“Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section
with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to
such Shares.

          (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters by Canaccord Adams Inc. and/or the Company and the Selling Stockholder
as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased
does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of
Delivery, then the Selling Stockholder shall have the right to require each non-defaulting
Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at
such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its
pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder)
of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not
been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
default.

          (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters by Canaccord Adams Inc. and the Company and the Selling Stockholder as
provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased
exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of
Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall not exercise the right described in
subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery,
the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Selling Stockholder to sell the Optional
Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter
or the Company or the Selling Stockholder, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and
the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and
contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof, but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.

     10. Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the several Underwriters, as set forth
in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the
results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any
Underwriter, or the Company, or the Selling Stockholder or any officer or director or controlling
person of the Company, or any controlling person of the Selling Stockholder and shall survive
delivery of and payment for the Shares.

     11. Expenses of Termination. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to
Section 9 hereof, the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall then have no liability to any
Underwriter except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof; but, if for any other reason this
Agreement is terminated, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall not have been

24

 

consummated due to any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof not having been met, or
the Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder as provided herein, the
Company and the Selling Stockholder will reimburse the Underwriters through Canaccord Adams Inc.
for all out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by
the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so
delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall have no further liability to any
Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so delivered except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8
hereof.

     12. Notice. In all dealings hereunder, Canaccord Adams Inc. shall act on behalf of
each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by Canaccord
Adams Inc. on behalf of the Underwriters.

     All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the
Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the
Underwriters in care of Canaccord Adams Inc., 99 High Street, 11th Floor, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110, Attention: Equity Capital Markets; if to the Selling Stockholder shall be
delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to its address set forth in the
Registration Statement; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement,
Attention: President; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant
to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such
Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriter’s Questionnaire or telex constituting such
Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by Canaccord Adams Inc. on request.
Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

     13. Information Provided by the Underwriters. The Company, the Selling Stockholder
and the Underwriters acknowledge that, for purposes of this Agreement, the statements regarding
dealer concession and the paragraphs relating to stabilizing transactions by the Underwriters
appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute
the only information furnished in writing to the Company by any Underwriter through Canaccord Adams
Inc. expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.
In addition, the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters acknowledge that, for
purposes of this Agreement, no information has been furnished in writing to the Company by any
Underwriter through Canaccord Adams Inc. expressly for use in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

     14. Miscellaneous.

          (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the
Underwriters, the Selling Stockholder and the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 8 and
10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, the
Selling Stockholder]or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any

25

 

right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor
or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

          (b) Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day”
shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

          (c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholder irrevocably submits
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, in any legal suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement and
agree that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court.
Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholder irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient
forum or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect to the maintenance of such legal suit,
action or proceeding. To the extent permitted by law, each of the Company and the Selling
Stockholder hereby waives any objections to the enforcement by any competent court in Spain of any
judgment validly obtained in any such court in Spain on the basis of any such legal suit, action or
proceeding. Each of the Company and the selling Stockholder has appointed CT Corporation, 111
Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom
process may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any court in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Each such appointment shall be irrevocable. Each of the Company and the Selling
Stockholder represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as such agent for
service of process and agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all
documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and
effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such
service to the Company or the Selling Stockholder, shall be deemed, in every respect, effective
service of process on the Company or the Selling Stockholder, respectively.

          (d) To the extent that the Company, the Selling Stockholder or any of their respective
properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to
the Company, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal
action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or
proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of Spain, or U.S. state or federal
court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid
of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for
the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any such court in which
proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to the obligations and liabilities of the
Company and the Selling Stockholder, or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement, the Company and the Selling Stockholder each hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waive or will waive such right to the extent permitted by law, and agree not to
plead or claim, any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.

          (e) All payments (including all deemed payments by way of offset or netting) by the Company or
the Selling Stockholder to any Underwriter hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present and

26

 

future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereinafter
imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by Spain, the European Union or any other
jurisdiction in which the Company or the Selling Stockholder has a
branch or an office from which payment (or deemed payment) is made or deemed to be made,
excluding (i) any such tax imposed by reason of any Underwriter having some connection with any
such jurisdiction other than its participation as Underwriter hereunder, and (ii) any income or
franchise tax on the overall net income of such Underwriter imposed by the United States of America
or any political subdivision of the United States of America (all such non-excluded taxes, “Foreign
Taxes”). If the Company or the Selling Stockholder is prevented by operation of law or otherwise
from paying, causing to be paid or remitting that portion of amounts payable (or deemed payable)
hereunder represented by Foreign Taxes imposed, levied, collected, assessed, withheld or deducted,
then amounts payable (or deemed payable) under this Agreement by the Company shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be increased to such amount as is necessary to yield and remit to each
Underwriter an amount which, after deduction of all such Foreign Taxes (including all such Foreign
Taxes payable on such increased amount) equals the amount that would have been payable (or deemed
payable) if no Foreign Taxes applied.

          (f) Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, agrees to indemnify
any Underwriter against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any judgment or order
being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and
paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and a result of any
variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollars amount is
converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate
of exchange at which such Underwriter is able to purchase United States dollars, at the business
day nearest the date of judgment, with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by
such Underwriter. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of
the Company and the Selling Stockholder, and shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include
any premiums and costs or exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into,
the relevant currency.

          (g) This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.

          (h) The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters acknowledge and agree that (i)
the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial
transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the several
Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such
transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the
Company or the Selling Stockholder, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Stockholder with respect to the offering
contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has
advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Stockholder on other matters) or any
other obligation to the Company or the Selling Stockholder except the obligations expressly set
forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and the Selling Stockholder have consulted their own
legal advisors to the extent they deemed

27

 

appropriate. The Company and the Selling Stockholder agree that they will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory
services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholder, in connection with such
transaction or the process leading thereto.

28

 

     If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us six
counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters,
this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among each of the
Underwriters and the Company , and the Selling Stockholder. It is understood that your acceptance
of this letter on behalf of each of the Underwriters is pursuant to the authority set forth in an
Agreement among Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted to the Company and the Selling
Stockholder for examination, upon request, but without warranty on your part as to the authority of
the signors thereof.

ANNEX I-A and II-A

Form of Opinion of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, U.S. Counsel to the Company and the Selling
Shareholder

     1. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction within the United States in which such qualification is required,
whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where
the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     2. DTN Holding Company, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (“DTN”), is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization and has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
conduct its business as described in the Prospectus. All of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of DTN (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable and (ii) except as disclosed in the Prospectus, are owned of record and, to our
knowledge, beneficially by Telvent Export, S.L., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and, to
the best of our knowledge, have been issued in compliance with Federal and state securities laws.

     3. Assuming the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of, the Company.

     4. No filing, consent, approval, authorization, license, order, registration, qualification or
decree of or with any court or governmental agency or body is necessary or required for the
offering, sale or delivery of the Shares, other than under the Act and the regulations thereunder,
which have been obtained, or as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the
various states or foreign jurisdictions, as to which we express no opinion.

     5. The Company is not, and after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be, an “investment
company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     6. The Shares are authorized for inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market. The form of
certificate used to evidence the Ordinary Shares complies in all material respects with the
requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

     7. To our knowledge and other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there is no legal or
governmental action, suit, proceeding, investigation or inquiry pending to which the Company or any
of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries; and, to our knowledge, no such action, suit, proceeding,

I-1

 

investigation or inquiry is threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or
threatened by others.

     8. Each of the Registration Statement and the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, has
been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act. To our best knowledge, no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement, if any, has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for such purpose
have been instituted or are pending or are contemplated or threatened by the Commission. Any
required filing of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule 424(b).

     9. The Registration Statement, including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as
of their respective effective or issue dates (other than the financial statements and supporting
schedules included therein or in exhibits to or excluded from the Registration Statement, as to
which we express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respect with the applicable
requirements of the Act.

     10. The statements in the Prospectus under the headings “Underwriting” and “Enforceability of
Civil Liabilities” and “Prospectus Summary — Recent Developments” and the statements in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the
Commission on March 18, 2009 and incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (the “Annual
Report”) under Item 10 under the heading “Additional Information — Taxation — U.S. Taxation,”
insofar as such statements constitute matters of law or summaries of legal matters or legal
proceedings, or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and are correct in all material
respects and provide a fair summary thereof in light of the circumstances under which such
statements are provided.

     11. The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (other than the financial
statements and related schedules therein, as to which we express no opinion), when they were filed
with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

     12. The Company can sue and be sued in its own name; insofar as a Massachusetts court declares
itself competent pursuant to the irrevocable submission of the Company to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of a Massachusetts court, the Company may be sued in such Massachusetts court and
service of process effected in the manner set forth in the Underwriting Agreement will be
effective. The Selling Shareholder can sue and be sued in its own name; insofar as a Massachusetts
court declares itself competent pursuant to the irrevocable submission of the Selling Shareholder
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of a Massachusetts court, the Selling Shareholder may be sued in
such Massachusetts court and service of process effected in the manner set forth in the
Underwriting Agreement will be effective.

     13. To our knowledge, there are no franchises, contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan
agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or referred to in the
Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement other than those described or

I-2

 

referred to therein or filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto, and the
descriptions of the contracts composed in the English-language described in the Prospectus or
references thereto fairly summarize the arrangements covered thereby.

     14. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement and compliance by
the Company with its obligations thereunder do not and will not , whether with or without the
giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of or default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets
or properties of the Company or DTN pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan or credit agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or instrument composed in the
English-language and described or referred to in the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement, to which the Company or DTN is a party, or by which any of the assets or
properties of the Company or DTN may be bound, nor will such action result in any violation of the
provisions of any laws or administrative rules or regulations of federal law applicable to
transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement (other than the state
securities laws, rules or regulations thereunder and federal securities laws, rules or regulations
thereunder concerning matters relating to, or the adequacy of, disclosure in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus, as to which we express no opinion with respect to this paragraph (14)) or
any judgment, order or decree known to us of any court or governmental agency over the Company or
any of its property.

     15. To our knowledge, no person or entity has the contractual right to require the
registration of Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company because of the filing or
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the completion of the Offering.

     16. The Company is not a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section

     We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and
representatives of the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the

of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, on the basis of our review of the Registration Statement, the
Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and the documents
incorporated by reference therein and our investigations made in connection with the preparation of
the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus
and the documents incorporated by reference therein and our participation in the conferences
referred to above, we have no reason to believe that (i) any part of the Registration Statement,
when such part became effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus or as of such Time of
Delivery, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), other than
the financial statements and related schedules therein, as to which we express no opinion); and we
do not know of any amendment to the Registration Statement required to be filed or any contracts or
other documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or
required to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus or required to be described in the

ANNEX I-B

Form of Opinion of Lidia Garcia Páez, Internal Legal Counsel of the Company

     1. The Company is a limited liability company (sociedad anonima) duly
organized, existing and established and in good standing under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain
with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its
business as described in the Prospectus. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to
do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required,
whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where
the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     2. The authorized capitalization of the Company as of December 31, 2008 is as
set forth in the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2008
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed
with the Commission on March 18, 2009 and incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (the
“Annual Report”). All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, including the Shares
to be purchased by the Underwriter from the Selling Shareholder, have been duly authorized and
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and have not been issued in violation of any
statutory preemptive right, any participation, subscription or similar right in the Company’s
organizational documents or, to my knowledge, any other similar contractual right. To my
knowledge, the sale of Shares by the Selling Shareholder is not subject to any contractual right of
first refusal or other similar right of any security holder of the Company. The Shares conform in
all material respects to the description of the capital stock contained in the Prospectus. No
holder of Shares is or will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder.

     3. Telvent Tráfico y Transporte, S.A. and Telvent Housing, S.A.
(collectively, the “Material Subsidiaries”) are limited liability companies (suciedad anonimas)
duly organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain and each has
the limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
conduct its business as described in the Prospectus. All of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of each such Material Subsidiary (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and
are fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) except as disclosed in the Prospectus, are owned of
record and, to my knowledge, beneficially (either directly or indirectly through one or more
subsidiaries) by the Company and, to the best of my knowledge, have been issued in compliance with
applicable laws. To my knowledge, none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any Material
Subsidiary was issued in violation of the preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar
rights of any securityholder of such Material Subsidiary.

     4. The Company has the limited liability company power and authority to enter
into the Underwriting Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder and the Underwriting
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

     5. No filing, consent, approval, authorization, license, order, registration,
qualification or decree of or with any court or governmental agency or body in the Kingdom of

I-6

 

Spain is necessary or required for the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares by the Selling
Shareholder or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting
Agreement, or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement,
other than under the Act and the regulations thereunder which have been obtained, or as may be
required under the securities or blue sky laws of the various states or foreign jurisdictions, as
to which I express no opinion.

     6. The form of certificate used to evidence the Ordinary Shares complies in
all material respects with all applicable statutory requirements of the laws of the Kingdom of
Spain and any other applicable jurisdiction in Spain and with any applicable requirements of the
charter (“escritura de constitucion”) and the by-laws (“estatutos sociales” or “estatutos”) of the
Company.

     7. To my knowledge and other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there is no
legal or governmental action, suit, proceeding, investigation or inquiry pending to which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company
and its subsidiaries; and, to my knowledge, no such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or
inquiry is threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

     8. The statements in the Prospectus under the headings “Underwriting,”
“Enforceability of Civil Liabilities,” “Risk Factors — Risks Related To Being Part Of The Abengoa
Group” and “Risk Factors —  Risks Relating To Our Organization Under Spanish Law,” the statements
in the Registration Statement under Item 8, the statements in the Annual Report under Item 10 under
the headings “Additional Information — Memorandum and Articles of Association,” “Additional
Information — Exchange Controls” and “Additional Information — Taxation — Spanish Taxation,” and
the statements set forth in the Annual Report under Item 8 under the headings “Consolidated
Statements and Other Financial Information — Other Financial Information — Legal Proceedings” and
“Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Other Financial Information -
“Dividends” insofar as such statements constitute matters of law or summaries of legal matters, the
Company’s charter (“escritura de constitucion”), by-laws (“estatutos sociales” or “estatutos”) or
legal proceedings, or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by me and are correct in all material
respects and provide a fair summary thereof in light of the circumstances under which such
statements are provided.

     9. The Company’s agreement to the choice of law provisions set forth in
Section [ ] of the Underwriting Agreement will be recognized and enforced by the courts of Spain;
the Company may sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of Spain; the irrevocable submission
of the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of a Massachusetts Court, the waiver by the
Company of any objection to the venue of a proceeding of a Massachusetts Court and the agreement of
the Company that the Underwriting Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are legal, valid and binding; service of process
effected in the manner set forth in Section [ ] of the Underwriting Agreement will be effective,
insofar as the laws of Spain are concerned, to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Company;
judgment obtained in a

I-7

 

Massachusetts Court arising out of or in relation to the obligations of the Company under the
Underwriting Agreement would be recognized by the courts of Spain in accordance with and subject to
Spanish law. The Company is not entitled to any immunity on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise
in respect of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and could not successfully interpose
any such immunity as a defense to any suit or action brought or maintained in respect of its
obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and the waiver by the Company of immunity to
jurisdiction (including the waiver of sovereign immunity to which the Company may become entitled
subsequent to the date of the Underwriting Agreement and immunity from set-off or from attachment
prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution, from execution of a judgment or from any
other legal or judicial process) is a valid and binding obligation of the Company under the laws of
Spain.

     10. To my knowledge, there are no franchises, contracts, indentures, mortgages,
loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or referred to in the
Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement other than those described or
referred to therein or filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto, and the descriptions
of the contracts described in the Prospectus or references thereto fairly summarize the
arrangements covered thereby.

     11. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement and
compliance by the Company with its obligations thereunder do not and will not, whether with or
without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of or
default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any
assets or properties of the Company or any Material Subsidiary pursuant to, any contract,
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or
instrument, known to me, to which the Company or any Material Subsidiary is a party, or by which
any of the assets or properties of the Company or any Material Subsidiary may be bound, nor will
such action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter (“escritura de constitucion”)
and the by-laws (“estatutos socials” or “estatutos”) of the Company or any laws or administrative
rules or regulations of the law of Spain applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the
Underwriting Agreement or any judgment, order or decree known to me of any court or governmental
agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any Material Subsidiary or any of their
respective property.

     12. To my knowledge, no person or entity has the right to require the
registration of Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company because of the filing or
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the completion of the Offering.

     13. No stamp, issue, transfer tax, value added tax or duty or other similar tax
or duty is payable by or on behalf of the Underwriter in the European Union or Spain or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof and no capital gains, income or withholding or
other similar tax is payable by or on behalf of the Underwriter in the European Union or Spain or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, in any case, in connection with: (i) the
offer, sale and delivery of the Shares to or for the account of the Underwriter; (ii) the sale and
delivery by the Underwriter of the Shares to the initial purchasers thereof; (iii) the execution
and delivery

I-8

 

of the Underwriting Agreement; and (iv) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Underwriting Agreement.

I have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and
representatives of the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the
Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference therein have been discussed. Although I have not undertaken to determine
independently, and am not passing upon or assuming, except as otherwise specifically stated herein,
any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus,
on the basis of my review of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference therein and my
investigations made in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing
Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by
reference therein and my participation in the conferences referred to above, I have no reason to
believe that (i) any part of the Registration Statement, when such part became effective, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Pricing Disclosure
Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus, as of the date
of the Prospectus or as of such Time of Delivery, contained or contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in the case of each of
clause (i), (ii) and (iii), other than the financial statements and related schedules therein, as
to which I express no opinion); and I do not know of any amendment to the Registration Statement
required to be filed or any contracts or other documents of a character required to be filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement or required to be incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus or required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the
