	(e)	A certificate from an Indemnified Party certifying the total amount due from the Company under this Clause shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the

service of notices set out in Clause 34 (Notices)) a duly completed Indemnity Claim Notice specifying the Claimed Amount and the amount of the Lender’s share of that Claimed Amount determined in accordance with Clause 6.5(c) (Lenders’
Indemnity).

	(c)	Each Lender will make payment of its share of any Indemnity Claim on the date falling three Business Days after receipt of the relevant Indemnity Claim Notice.

  

	(d)	If a Lender makes payment of any amount due pursuant to an Indemnity Claim, that Lender shall automatically be subrogated to the rights of the relevant Issuing Bank in respect of
such payment. 

  

	(e)	Each Lender shall discharge its payment obligations hereunder by making payment of any amount due from it to the Facility Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, and the

	(f)	The making of a payment by a Lender pursuant to this Clause 6.8 shall, to the extent that there is at that time an Available Amount, constitute a utilisation by way of the borrowing
of a Loan by the Company. The other provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each such Loan save that: 

  

	 	(i)	the conditions precedent set out in Clauses 4.1 (Conditions precedent documents) and 4.3 (Conditions precedent to Utilisation by way of Loan) shall not apply to the making of any

Utilisation Date, adjusted to reflect any assignment or transfer to or by that Lender permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	(c)	 The fee accrued under paragraph (b) above is payable quarterly in arrear (or by reference to any shorter period that ends on an Aval Release Date relative to a
particular Aval). The accrued amount of such fee is also payable to the Facility Agent on the cancelled amount of any Lender’s 

  

 23 

	 	 
Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective if that Commitment is cancelled in full and the relevant Aval is prepaid or repaid in full.

	(c)	If at any time only one of Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s assigns a long term credit rating to the Company the Margin will be determined on the basis of the long

and/or

	(b)	Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be two per cent per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount
had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount. For this purpose, the Facility Agent may (acting reasonably): 

  

	 	(i)	select successive Terms of any duration of up to three months; and 

  

	 	(ii)	determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Term. 

  

	(c)	Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, if the overdue amount is a principal amount of the Loan and becomes due and payable prior to the last day of its current Term, then:

  

	 	(i)	the first Term for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Term; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Term will be two per cent per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan. 

  
 After the expiry of the first Term for that overdue amount, the rate on the
overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

	(c)	Except as provided below, if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company or the Facility Agent, the amount of the payment due from the Company will be increased to
an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. 

  

	(d)	Except as provided below, the Company is not required to make an increased payment under Clause 12.1(c) above for a Tax Deduction to a Lender that is not, or has ceased to be, on
the date when the payment falls due, a Qualifying Lender in excess of the amount that the Company would have had to pay had the Lender been, or not ceased to be, a Qualifying Lender. 

  

 32 

	(e)	Clause 12.1(d) above will not apply if the Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the
interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority. 

  

	(f)	The Company is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under Clause 12.1(c) above for a Tax Deduction if such Lender is required to provide a valid certificate
pursuant to Clause 12.6 (Tax certificates) and has failed to provide such certificate to the Company prior to the time at which the Company becomes obliged to make a payment to that Lender hereunder. 

  

	(g)	The Company is not required to make an increased payment to any Finance Party other than a Lender under Clause 12.1(c) above for a Tax Deduction if such Finance Party is required to
provide a valid certificate pursuant to 12.6 (Tax certificates) and has failed to provide such certificate to the Company prior to the time at which the Company becomes obliged to make a payment to that Finance Party hereunder.

  

	(h)	Each Finance Party and the Company shall co-operate and use their reasonable endeavours in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Company to make a payment without
a Tax Deduction and to claim reimbursement of any Tax paid. 

  

	(i)	If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it must make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction
within the time allowed by law. 

  

	(j)	Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, or within 30 days after the expiry of the statutory period to make a
payment to the relevant taxing authority, as the case may be, the Company must deliver to the Facility Agent for the relevant Finance Party evidence satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as
applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority. 

  

	12.2	Tax indemnity 

  

	(a)	Except as provided below, the Company must indemnify a Finance Party against any loss or liability which that Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) determines will be or has
been suffered (directly or indirectly) by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) under a Finance Document. 

  

	(b)	Paragraph (a) above does not apply to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which: 

  

	 	(i)	that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party has a Facility Office and is treated as resident for tax
purposes; or 

  

	 	(ii)	that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction. 

  
 if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income
received or receivable by that Finance Party. However, any payment deemed to be received or receivable, including any amount treated as income but not actually received by the Finance Party, such as a Tax Deduction, will not be treated as net income
received or receivable for this purpose. 
  

 33 

	(c)	Paragraph (a) above does not apply to the extent a loss or liability: 

  

	 	(i)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.1(c) (Tax gross-up); or 

  

	 	(ii)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.1 (Tax gross-up) but was no so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraphs (d),
(f) or (g) of Clause 12.1 (Tax gross-up) applied. 

  

	(d)	A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify the Company of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

  

	(e)	A Finance Party shall, on receiving a payment under this Clause, notify the Facility Agent. 

  

	12.3	Tax Credit 

  
 If the Company makes a Tax Payment and it is required to make an increased payment under Clause 12.1(c) and the relevant Finance Party (in its absolute
discretion) determines that: 
  

	 	(a)	a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and 

  

	 	(b)	it has used and retained that Tax Credit, 

  
 the Finance Party must pay an amount to the Company which that Finance Party determines (in its absolute discretion) will leave it (after that payment) in
the same after-tax position as it would have been if the Tax Payment had not been required to be made by the Company. 
  

	12.4	Stamp taxes 

  
 The Company must pay and indemnify each Finance Party against any stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax imposed or levied by Spain or any taxing
authority of or in Spain payable in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for any such Tax payable in connection with the entry into a transfer certificate unless the Transfer Certificate is
substantially in the form set out in Schedule 5 (Form of Transfer Certificate). 
  

	12.5	Value added taxes 

  

	(a)	Any amount (including costs and expenses) payable under a Finance Document by the Company is exclusive of any value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature imposed or levied
by Spain or any taxing authority of or in Spain which might be chargeable in connection with that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the Company must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount
equal to the amount of that Tax. 

  

	(b)	The obligation of the Company under paragraph (a) above will be reduced to the extent that the Finance Party determines (acting reasonably) that it is entitled to repayment or
a credit in respect of the relevant Tax. 

  

	12.6	Tax certificates 

  

	(a)	Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Clause 12: 

  

	 	(i)	 Non-Spanish Qualifying Lenders, provided they do not act through a permanent establishment in Spain, shall supply the Facility Agent (which shall forthwith deliver
a copy thereof to the Company) prior to the due date for payment of any interest or fees hereunder with a certificate of residence issued by the pertinent fiscal administration proving that such Qualifying Lender is resident for tax purposes in its
country of residence or, as the case may 

  

 34 

	 	 
be, proving that such Qualifying Lender is resident in a state which has signed and ratified a double taxation treaty with Spain, for the purposes of such
double taxation treaty; and 

  

	 	(ii)	Non-Spanish Lenders, provided they do not act through a permanent establishment in Spain which are non Qualifying Lenders, but which are entitled to a tax rate below the general
rate applicable to interest shall supply the Facility Agent (which shall forthwith deliver a copy thereof to the Company) prior to the due date for payment of any interest or fees hereunder with a certificate of residence issued by the pertinent
fiscal administration, proving that such Lender is resident in a State which has signed and ratified a double taxation treaty with Spain for the purposes of such double taxation treaty, providing for such lower rate; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Non-Spanish Finance Parties, provided they do not act through a permanent establishment in Spain (other than in their capacity as Lenders) shall supply the Facility Agent (which
shall forthwith deliver a copy thereof to the Company) prior to the due date for payment of any fees hereunder with a certificate of residence issued by the pertinent fiscal administration, proving that such Finance Party is resident in a State
which has signed and ratified a double taxation treaty with Spain for the purposes of such double taxation treaty. 

  

	(b)	As such certificates are, at the date hereof, only valid for a period of one year, or if the case may be for the period set forth in the double taxation treaty that would be
applicable, each Lender or Finance Party will be required to supply further certificates upon expiry of the previous certificate in relation to any further payment of interest or fees.

 Payments under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent must be made for value on the due date at such times and in such funds as the Facility Agent

affairs of the Company and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets); and

	22.8	Exclusion of liability

 it must promptly notify the Lenders

as such.

whether any waiver or amendment is required in respect of any term of the Finance Documents.

Facility Agent.

Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents.

	 	(ii)	the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the Company in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender.

  
 On the transfer becoming effective in this
manner the Existing Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender 
  

	(d)	Unless otherwise agreed by each Issuing Bank, until the Final Release Date has occurred no assignment or transfer of any Lender’s rights and obligations under the Facility may
be effected unless: 

  

	 	(i)	the New Lender is an Acceptable Transferee; or

	 	(ii)	such transfer occurs as a part of primary syndication; or

 the New Lender must pay to the Facility Agent for its own account, on or before the date any assignment or transfer occurs, a fee of €1,500.

  

	(g)	Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement. 

  

	28.3	Procedure for transfer by way of novations 

  

	(a)	In this Clause: 

  
 Transfer Date means, for a Transfer Certificate, the later of:

	 	(ii)	the date on which the Facility Agent executes that Transfer Certificate. 

  

	(b)	A novation is effected if: 

  

	 	(i)	the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Facility Agent executes it. 

  

 67 

 The Facility Agent must execute as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within no more than
five Business Days) a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order. 
  

	(c)	Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

  

	(d)	On the Transfer Date:

	28.5	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender 

  

	(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for the legality, validity, adequacy, accuracy, completeness or performance of:

  

	 	(i)	any Finance Document or any other document; or

 and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

  

	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: 

  

	 	(i)	has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and
affairs of the Company and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(ii)	has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document. 

  

	(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document requires an Existing Lender to: 

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause; or 

  

	 	(ii)	support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Company of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise. 

 

 68 

	28.6	Costs resulting from change of Lender or Facility Office

	 	(a)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Company would be obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,

  
 then, unless the assignment, transfer or change
is made by a Lender to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to the Tax Payment or Increased Cost and effectively reduced the Tax Payment or Increased Cost (in which case only the reduced Tax Payment or Increased Cost will be payable by the
Company) the Company need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred. 
  

	28.7	Changes to the Reference Banks 

  
 If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent must (in
consultation with the Company) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank. 
  

	28.8	Cash Cover 

  

	(a)	If a New Lender is not an Acceptable Transferee, the relevant New Lender will, as a condition to any assignment or transfer to that New Lender pursuant to this Clause 28 taking
effect, if so requested by an Issuing Bank deposit with each Issuing Bank (in such bank account at such bank as it shall promptly notify to the Facility Agent from time to time for such purpose) an amount equal to, and on account of, the maximum
potential liability of such New Lender to that Issuing Bank under Clause 6.5 (Lenders’ Indemnity). 

  

	(b)	If the higher of the long term credit ratings assigned to a Lender and the long term credit ratings assigned to any entity which provides a guarantee in respect of the obligations
of that Lender under Clause 6.7 (Lenders’ Indemnity) are not or cease to be equal to or higher than A3 by Moody’s and A- by Standard & Poor’s, the relevant Lender will, within three Business Days of request by an Issuing Bank
deposit with the relevant Issuing Bank (in such bank account at such bank as it shall promptly notify to the Facility Agent from time to time for such purpose) an amount equal to, and on account of, the maximum potential liability of such New Lender
to that Issuing Bank under Clause 6.5 (Lenders’ Indemnity). 

  

	(c)	Each Issuing Bank shall be entitled to apply such deposit (by application of funds, set-off, combination of accounts or otherwise as that Issuing Bank shall determine) against
amounts due to it from time to time from such New Lender under Clause 6.5 (Lenders’ Indemnity) and the Issuing Banks will so apply such amounts if directed to do so by the relevant Lender at any time after a demand has been made under the
relevant Aval. 

  

	(d)	Any such deposit shall be on terms that the Issuing Banks shall only be required to repay such deposit to or to the order of such New Lender on the relevant Aval Release Date (to
the extent that such funds have not been applied in accordance with Clause 28.8(c)) or on compliance in full by such New Lender with its obligations to the Issuing Banks under Clause 6.5 (Lenders’ Indemnity). 

  

	(e)	Any such deposit shall be denominated in Euro and shall bear interest at a deposit rate calculated on the aggregate amount of the deposit, on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed. Such interest shall be payable (subject to deduction of Tax if so required by applicable law) by the Issuing Banks to such New Lender quarterly in arrears (or as otherwise agreed) until repayment of the deposit or
application of the deposit by the Issuing Banks against the obligations of such Bank to it under Clause 6.5 (Lenders’ Indemnity).

	29.	DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION 

  

	(a)	Each Finance Party must keep confidential any information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Finance Documents. However, a Finance Party is

	 	(i)	which is publicly available, other than as a result of a breach by that Finance Party of this Clause; 

  

	 	(ii)	in connection with any legal or arbitration proceedings; 

  

	 	(iii)	if required to do so under any law or regulation; 

  

	 	(iv)	to a governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority; 

  

	 	(v)	to its professional advisers; 

  

	 	(vi)	to the extent allowed under paragraph (b) below; or 

  

	 	(vii)	with the agreement of the Company. 

  

	(b)	A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any person with whom it may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or other agreement in relation to this
Agreement (a participant): 

  

	 	(i)	a copy of any Finance Document; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document. 

  
 However, before a participant may receive any confidential information, it must agree with the relevant Finance Party to
keep that information confidential on the terms of paragraph (a) above. 
  

	(c)	Each Finance Party acknowledges that some of the information provided to it directly or indirectly by the Company under this Agreement is or may be price-sensitive information and
that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation relating to insider dealing and undertakes not to use such information for any unlawful purpose. 

  

	(d)	This Clause supersedes any previous confidentiality undertaking given by a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement prior to it becoming a Party. 

  

	30.	SET-OFF 

  
 A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by the Company under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance
Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by that Finance Party to the Company, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party
may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. 
  

 70 

	31.	PRO RATA SHARING 

  

	31.1	Redistribution 

  
 If any amount owing by the Company under this Agreement to a Lender (the recovering Lender) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner
other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a recovery), then: 
  

	 	(a)	the recovering Lender must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent; 

  

	 	(b)	the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Lender would have received if the recovery had been received by the Facility
Agent under this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(c)	the recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the redistribution). 

  
 Without prejudice to the exception contained in paragraph 31.3(b), the
pro rata sharing rule will also be applicable if a recovering Lender has received any amounts under article 91.6 of Law 22/2003, 9 July, on Insolvency (Concursal), save where that recovering Lender, before initiating the relevant
insolvency proceedings of the Company, offered to the Lenders through the Facility Agent the opportunity to initiate such insolvency proceedings jointly with it, and such joint application has not been agreed within a maximum period of 10 Business
Days. 
  

	31.2	Effect of redistribution 

  

	(a)	The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the Company under this Agreement and distribute it among the Lenders, other than the recovering Lender,
accordingly. 

  

	(b)	When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that
redistribution. 

  

	(c)	If and to the extent that the recovering Lender is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the Company will owe the recovering Lender a debt
which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged. 

  

	(d)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	a recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to the Company; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery, 

  

each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with
interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement. 
  

	31.3	Exceptions 

  
 Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause: 
  

	 	(a)	a recovering Lender need not pay a redistribution to the extent that: 

  

	 	(i)	it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the Company in the amount of the redistribution; or 

  

 71 

	 	(ii)	it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where:

  

	 	(iii)	the recovering Lender notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably
practicable after receiving notice of them; and 

  

	 	(b)	if the Company is declared insolvent (en concurso), recovering Lenders which are not related entities to the insolvent (as defined by article 93 of Law 22/2003, 9 July,
on Insolvency) will not be obliged to redistribute any payment to any Lender which is a related entity with regard to the insolvent. 

  

	32.	SEVERABILITY 

  
 If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that will not affect: 
  

	 	(a)	the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or 

  

	 	(b)	the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents. 

  

	33.	COUNTERPARTS

 SCHEDULE 4 
  

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST 
  

	1.	General 

  

	(a)	The Mandatory Cost is to compensate a Lender for the cost of compliance with: 

  

	 	(i)	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces any of its functions); or

  

	 	(ii)	the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

  

	(b)	The Mandatory Cost is expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	(c)	The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average (weighted in proportion to the percentage share of each Lender in the relevant Loan) of the rates for the Lenders calculated by the
Facility Agent in accordance with this Schedule on the first day of a Term (or as soon as possible after then). 

  

	(d)	The Facility Agent must distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender. 

  

	(e)	Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties. 

  

	2.	For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. 

  

	(a)	The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. is calculated in accordance with the following formula: 

  

			
	E x 0.01	 	 per cent per annum
	300	 

  
 where on the day of
application of the formula, E is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the rates of charge under the fees rules supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent under paragraph (d) below and expressed in pounds per
£1 million. 
  

	(b)	For the purposes of this paragraph 2: 

  

	 	(i)	fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook or any other law or regulation as may then be in force for the payment
of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

	 	(ii)	fee tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to
the fees rules but applying any applicable discount rate); and 

  

	 	(iii)	tariff base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules. 

  

	(c)	Each rate calculated in accordance with the formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places. 

  

 81 

	(d)	If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank must, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent the rate of
charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules for that financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated by that Reference Bank as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to that
Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Reference Bank. 

  

	(e)	Each Lender must supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Lender. In particular, each Lender must supply the following
information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

  

	 	(i)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any other information that the Facility Agent reasonably requires for that purpose. 

  
 Each Lender must promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information supplied to it under this paragraph.

  

	(f)	The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above are determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it under paragraphs (d) and
(e) above. Unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, the Facility Agent may assume that the Lender’s obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its
jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the U.K. 

  

	(g)	The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender. The Facility Agent is entitled to assume that the information provided by
any Lender or Reference Bank under this Schedule is true and correct in all respects. 

  

	3.	For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State 

  

	(a)	The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This
percentage rate per annum must be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent as its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s share in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of
complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Facility Office. 

  

	(b)	If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost. 

  

	4.	Changes 

  

	(a)	The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to reflect:

  

	 	(i)	any change in law or regulation; or 

  

	 	(ii)	any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority). 

 

	(b)	If the Facility Agent, after consultation with the Company, determines that the Mandatory Cost for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. can be calculated by reference
to a screen, the Facility Agent may notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Agreement which is required to reflect this.

	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  
 En Madrid y Barcelona, a 5 de
septiembre de 2005 
  
 REUNIDOS: 
  
 De una parte, IBERDROLA, S.A., con domicilio en Bilbao, Cardenal Gardoqui, 8, (en lo sucesivo
“IBERDROLA”), representada por D. José Ignacio Sánchez-Galán actuando como Vicepresidente y Consejero Delegado 
  
 y de otra, GAS NATURAL SDG, S.A., con domicilio en Barcelona, portal del Angel, 20-22 (en lo sucesivo “GAS NATURAL”), representada por D. Rafael Villaseca Marco
actuando como Consejero Delegado 
  
 En adelante denominadas individualmente
“Parte” y conjuntamente “Partes”, 
  
 EXPONEN

  
 I. GAS NATURAL tiene intención de tomar el control sobre ENDESA,
S.A. (en lo sucesivo “ENDESA”) mediante una oferta pública de adquisición de sus acciones (en lo sucesivo “la Operación”). A efectos del presente Acuerdo, el término control se interpretará
conforme a lo dispuesto en el artículo 4 de la Ley de Mercado de Valores y en el artículo 42 del Código de Comercio (en adelante “Control”). 
  
 II. GAS NATURAL pretende la creación de un grupo empresarial que compita de forma eficiente en todos los mercados energéticos
en beneficio de los consumidores y responder de esta forma a similares procesos de convergencia que están teniendo lugar en todo el mundo. 
  

 2 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  
 III. GAS NATURAL ha llevado a cabo un
análisis detallado de los efectos en la competencia que se derivan de la adquisición de control de ENDESA, concluyendo que la Operación merece ser objeto de la aprobación de las autoridades de defensa de la competencia
tal y como indican, por otro lado, numerosos precedentes. Puede resultar necesario, en su caso, la aprobación de determinados compromisos de diversa naturaleza que GAS NATURAL está dispuesta en ese caso a asumir. 
  
 IV. Para lograr de inmediato los beneficios competitivos que la Operación se propone,
resulta necesaria una aplicación ágil y transparente de algunos de dichos compromisos y, por tanto, es conveniente asegurar el acuerdo previo con un tercero sin perjuicio de las facultades reconocidas al Gobierno conforme al
Artículo 17 de la Ley 16/89 de Defensa de la Competencia. La naturaleza de algunos de los activos a los que se refieren dichos compromisos, hace aconsejable elegir como adquirente más adecuado a IBERDROLA al contar con reconocida
capacidad económica y técnica y ser la empresa que hará el uso más competitivo de los activos transmitidos. 
  
 V. Por su parte, IBERDROLA comparte con GAS NATURAL el análisis de los efectos de la Operación en los mercados relevantes, y está de acuerdo en que
la aplicación de los compromisos descritos en el Anexo II, consistentes en la transmisión por GAS NATURAL a IBERDROLA de determinados activos y participaciones, tras la adquisición del control de ENDESA garantiza la competencia
real y efectiva en los mercados afectados. Por ello, IBERDROLA está de acuerdo en contribuir en el proceso ante las autoridades competentes con objeto de ejecutar de forma rápida y efectiva los referidos compromisos; considera que
cumple los criterios expuestos anteriormente para poder participar en su ejecución y, a estos efectos, manifiesta su interés en participar y adquirir los citados activos y participaciones en el proceso de ejecución de estos
compromisos, todo ello con sometimiento a las facultades reconocidas al Gobierno conforme al Artículo 17 de la Ley 16/89 de Defensa de la compromisos, Competencia.

	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  
 VI. Las Partes, en el diseño de
los activos o participaciones a transmitir, han tenido especialmente en cuenta los aspectos regulatorios relacionados con los mismos y en particular lo han hecho en contemplación a la necesidad de garantizar que se mantenga la
inversión prevista en cada uno de los sectores, la mejora de la calidad del servicio y, al propio tiempo, asegurando la estabilidad financiera de ambas compañiás. 
  
 VII. En particular y en atención a lo anterior, ambas Partes acuerdan que, como parte de los compromisos sometidos a las autoridades
de defensa de la competencia y ante las autoridades responsables en materia regulatoria o de mercado de valores (en lo sucesivo en este Acuerdo todas ellas serán denominadas “Autoridades Competentes”), GAS NATURAL transmitirá
e IBERDROLA adquirirá los activos especificados en el Anexo II, sujeto a lo que dichas autoridades acuerden, y a lo que se establece en el presente Acuerdo. 
  
 VIII. Sin perjuicio de lo anterior, GAS NATURAL, por razones de estructura empresarial del grupo una vez completada la adquisición
del control de ENDESA y en atención también a los beneficios directos y futuros que ello puede suponer para el incremento de la competencia y eficiencia del sector energético nacional, desea vender, e IBERDROLA desea comprar,
determinadas categorías de activos no relacionados con el procedimiento de aprobación de la Operación ante las Autoridades españolas y que se relacionan en el Anexo I. 
  
 IX. Con todo lo anterior, las Partes consideran finalmente que la Operación y los
compromisos que resultan del presente Acuerdo son coherentes con el incremento de la competencia efectiva en España, la garantía de los planes de inversión previstos en la planificación energética y el desarrollo
internacional de ambas en interés del sector energético nacional. 
  
 En consideración a lo anterior, las Partes, reconociéndose mutua capacidad, 
 ACUERDAN LAS SIGUIENTES ESTIPULACIONES

 PRIMERA 
 Compromiso de compraventa de activos o participaciones del Anexo I 
  

	 	A	GAS NATURAL se obliga a vender y transmitir, e IBERDROLA se obliga a comprar y adquirir, los activos y participaciones que se identifican en el Anexo I. 

  

	 	B	Este compromiso de compraventa de los activos y participaciones relacionados en el Anexo I está sujeto a las siguientes condiciones:

Competentes, un conjunto de remedios y compromisos parte de los cuales son objeto del presente Acuerdo. 

  

	 	B	IBERDROLA considera adecuado y suficiente para la competencia el conjunto de remedios y compromisos ya previstos en este Acuerdo y está interesada en participar en el proceso
para la adquisición de dichos activos o participaciones. 

  

 5 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  

	C.	La presente estipulación tiene por objeto 

  

	 	a.	Establecer la contribución de ambas Partes para ejecutar los Compromisos del Anexo II ante las Autoridades Competentes en el contexto del procedimiento de autorización
de la Operación de GAS NATURAL para la adquisición de control de ENDESA. 

	 	b.	Recoger el reconocimiento por parte de GAS NATURAL de que IBERDROLA tiene la solvencia y capacidad financiera y la experiencia de gestión técnica y económica
para poder participar en cualquier proceso de ejecución de los antedichos Compromisos del Anexo II y que, por lo tanto, IBERDROLA puede ser un cesionario aceptable de los activos y participaciones afectados por los Compromisos del Anexo II y

	 	c.	Recoger el compromiso de las Partes de proceder a la compraventa de los activos y participaciones previstos en el Anexo II en las condiciones que en el mismo se establecen y una vez
ejecutada la Operación, siempre que ello resulte compatible con la decisión que adopten las Autoridades Competentes. 

  

	D.	IBERDROLA: 

  

	 	a.	Hará sus mejores esfuerzos para que, en el caso de decidir intervenir en los procedimientos de defensa de la competencia y regulatorio de examen de la Operación, esta
última sea aprobada por las Autoridades Competentes. 

	 	b.	Autoriza expresamente a GAS NATURAL a dar cuenta del presente compromiso de IBERDROLA ante las Autoridades Competentes y a que el mismo tenga el carácter de garantía
de adquisición, en los términos de este Acuerdo, para la adecuada ejecución de los referidos Compromisos del Anexo II. 

  

 6 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  

	E.	Por su parte, GAS NATURAL 

  

	 	a.	Presentará el Anexo II con el detalle que considere adecuado como documento anejo a la notificación al Servicio de Defensa de la Competencia, con el objeto de
facilitar la aprobación de la Operación por las Autoridades Competentes y, al mismo tiempo, simplificar el examen de los efectos de la operación en el mercado de forma análoga a como se establece en el Artículo 15
ter de la Ley 16/89 de Defensa de la Competencia, sin que su presentación implique un reconocimiento de GAS NATURAL de que la Operación tiene un efecto significativo en la competencia en los mercados afectados.

	 	b.	Hará sus mejores esfuerzos para que las Autoridades Competentes acepten los mencionados compromisos en caso de que dichas autoridades los consideren necesarios para aprobar
la Operación conforme al Artículo 17 de la Ley 16/89 de Defensa de la Competencia. 

  
 GAS NATURAL se obliga a vender y transmitir, e IBERDROLA se obliga a comprar y adquirir, los activos y participaciones que se identifican en el Anexo II 
  
 Este compromiso de compraventa de los activos y participaciones relacionados en el Anexo II está sujeto a: 

	 	a.	Que GAS NATURAL, mediante la adquisición de una participación mayoritaria en ENDESA, y por medio de los órganos societarios de ésta, pueda disponer sobre
dichos activos o participaciones. 

	 	b.	Que ello sea compatible con la decisión que adopten las Autoridades Competentes. 

  

 7 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  
 TERCERA 
 Régimen de las transmisiones 
  

	 	A.	Las operaciones de transmisión están sujetas a que GAS NATURAL haya tomado el Control de ENDESA, mediante la adquisición de una participación mayoritaria
y por medio de los órganos societarios de ésta, pueda disponer sobre los activos o participaciones. 

  

	 	B.	El presente Acuerdo no reconoce a ninguna de las Partes el derecho a intervenir o influir sobre la gestión de los activos o participaciones que sean propiedad de la otra,
incluyendo aquellos activos y participaciones a los que se refiere el presente Acuerdo. 

  

	 	C.	El presente Acuerdo constituye el único existente entre las Partes y no crea relación alguna de asociación, cooperación o empresa conjunta entre las
mismas, limitándose la relación entre ambas exclusivamente a lo que resulta del presente Acuerdo y a los solos efectos de llevar a efecto las transmisiones de activos previstas. 

  

	 	D.	GAS NATURAL no tendrá limitación alguna respecto a la gestión de los activos o participaciones establecidos en los Anexos I y II, mientras sea titular directa o
indirectamente de los mismos, excepto las que resulten de la decisión adoptada por las Autoridades Competentes y la protección del valor de los activos y participaciones a transferir a IBERDROLA mediante su administración
ordinaria. 

  

	 	E.	La adquisición de los activos o participaciones por cualquiera de las Partes estará condicionada a la obtención de las autorizaciones de cualquier naturaleza
establecidas en la normativa aplicable y eventuales consentimientos de otros terceros. GAS NATURAL hará sus mejores esfuerzos para la tramitación y obtención de las mencionadas autorizaciones y consentimientos.

  

 8 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  

	 	F.	En consideración al carácter finalista de promoción de una competencia real y efectiva en el mercado, IBERDROLA se obliga a no transmitir fuera de su grupo de
empresas los activos y participaciones adquiridos durante un plazo de 4 años desde la fecha de la adquisición. En caso de que IBERDROLA pretenda transmitir el control, incluso conjunto, de dichos activos o participaciones a un tercero
dentro de dicho plazo, GAS NATURAL, a su elección, dispondrá de un derecho de adquisición preferente sobre el tercero para adquirir en las mismas condiciones que el tercero hubiera ofrecido en firme a IBERDROLA.

  

	 	G.	IBERDROLA, de forma análoga a como GAS NATURAL los va a adquirir, renuncia a realizar un examen previo de los activos o participaciones de ENDESA y, en consecuencia, no
podrá exigir responsabilidad al transmitente, debiendo confiar exclusivamente en los datos disponibles públicamente sobre ENDESA y los que IBERDROLA tiene como consecuencia de su propia actividad y conocimiento del sector.

  

	 	H.	El precio de los distintos activos o participaciones se determinará una vez se produzca la toma de Control de GAS NATURAL sobre ENDESA. A tal fin, en el plazo de los 10
días siguientes a dicha toma de Control, cada Parte designará un banco de negocios. Los dos bancos designados determinarán separadamente en un plazo no superior a 3 semanas el “fair market value” de los activos o
participaciones referido al día de toma de control de GAS NATURAL sobre ENDESA. Para calcular dicho valor, los bancos de negocio aplicarán los métodos de descuento de flujos de caja y precios en transacciones precedentes que
comporten la adquisición de control. Adicionalmente tomarán en consideración el precio pagado por GAS NATURAL a los accionistas de ENDESA y todos los costes derivados de la desinversión de los activos o participaciones de
ENDESA. 

  

 9 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  
 En caso de diferir los precios
así determinados hasta un 10% del precio más bajo, se considerará precio final la media aritmética entre ambos. En caso de diferir en más de un 10%, se elegirá, por sorteo, un tercer banco de negocio de
entre los siguientes: JP Morgan, Lehman Brothers y Lazard. Las Partes se comprometen a no designar a ninguno de ellos como banco designado para la valoración inicial. El sorteo será organizado por los dos bancos de negocio inicialmente
determinados. El tercer banco de negocio deberá determinar de forma objetiva e independiente un tercer precio, en un plazo no superior a 3 semanas. El precio final sera la media aritmética ante el tercer precio y el más cercano
a él, de entre los dos determinados inicialmente. 
  
 A los efectos de
realizar la valoración, GAS NATURAL facilitará a los bancos designados un dossier de valoración que incluirá, al menos, información financiera detallada, tanto histórica como de proyecciones
financieras futuras. También proporcionará acceso suficiente al equipo directivo necesario. 
  
 Las partes acuerdan que el precio así determinado será definitivo e inimpugnable. 
  

	I.	Una vez determinado el precio final, las Partes otorgarán en un plazo no superior a 4 semanas los correspondientes contratos de compra y venta de los activos y
participaciones de los Anexos I y II. Dichos contratos deberán prever que el simultáneo pago del precio y transmisión de la propiedad de los activos y participaciones se produzca en el plazo más breve posible, una vez se
obtengan las autorizaciones administrativas o de cualquier otra naturaleza que sean necesarias, quedando entre tanto suspendida la ejecución de la transmisión. 

  

	J.	 Las Partes se obligan a analizar conjuntamente la forma concreta de ejecución de las transmisiones de activos y participaciones objeto de 

  

 10 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  

	 	    	este Acuerdo, para que las mismas se efectúen de la forma más eficaz, minimizando, en lo posible, los costes de transacción. 

  

	 	K.	Nada en este Acuerdo limita la libertad de GAS NATURAL de aceptar o no las condiciones que se impongan por parte de las Autoridades Competentes en relación con la
Operación. 

  

	 	L.	Nada en este Acuerdo limita la libertad de IBERDROLA de aceptar o no las condiciones que eventualmente se impongan por parte de las Autoridades Competentes en relación con
sus adquisiciones de activos y participaciones previstas en este Acuerdo. 

  

	 	M.	La imposibilidad total o parcial de transmitir algún activo o participación relacionado en el presente Acuerdo no impedirá la exigibilidad de la
transmisión de los restantes, manteniéndose respecto de ellos el compromiso de compra y venta. 

  

	 	N.	Transcurridos 24 meses desde la firma del presente Acuerdo sin que se haya producido la toma de Control de GAS NATURAL sobre ENDESA, cualquiera de las Partes podrá denunciar
el presente Acuerdo ad nutum. 

  
 CUARTA

 GAS NATURAL ACUERDA
CON IBERDROLA LA FUTURA 
 VENTA DE ACTIVOS TRAS LA ADQUISICIÓN DE ENDESA 
  

	 	•	 	Este acuerdo está supeditado al éxito del proceso de Oferta Pública de Adquisición de Endesa, presentado hoy por Gas Natural SDG.

  
 Las compañías Gas Natural SDG e Iberdrola
firmaron hoy un acuerdo para la compraventa de determinados activos de la sociedad resultante de la operación de adquisición de Endesa por parte de la empresa gasista. 
  
 El compromiso de venta comprende activos de generación y distribución eléctrica en España, generación
eléctrica en Europa (SNET en Francia y diversas centrales en Italia) y determinadas áreas de distribución de gas que incluyen 1,25 millones de clientes en zonas geográficas de España donde Iberdrola desarrolla su
actividad. 
  
 La transacción considerada se realizará a precios de
mercado que serán determinados por bancos de inversión de reconocido prestigio. Su volumen puede estimarse preliminarmente en un rango de entre 7.000 y 9.000 millones de euros. 
  
 Este acuerdo se enmarca en el plan de desinversión de activos eléctricos y
gasistas que Gas Natural SDG tiene previsto presentar a las autoridades españolas respecto a la Oferta Pública de Adquisición de acciones de Endesa. 
  

 19 

			
	[LOGO]	 	[LOGO]

  
 El acuerdo permite a Iberdrola y Gas
Natural SDG alcanzar una estructura más equilibrada en los sectores de gas y electricidad. Además, ambas compañías consideran que la operación acelerará el proceso de reordenación y de
liberalización del sector energético español e incrementará la competencia efectiva, con el consiguiente beneficio para los consumidores. Asimismo, favorecerá la competitividad de ambas compañías en
los mercados internacionales, que tienden ya hacia la convergencia y globalización de los mercados de gas y electricidad, tal y como demuestran algunas operaciones en curso en Europa.
