“Parties”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by the Company as its Executive Vice President, Sales &
Marketing;

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee entered into a Confidential Information and Invention
Assignment Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee has entered into a Retention Bonus Agreement, dated June 7,
2006 (the “Retention Bonus Agreement”) as defined by the Bonus and Retention Plan, effective as of
June 7, 2006 (the”Bonus and Retention Plan”).

     WHEREAS, Employee has voluntarily resigned from his employment with the Company, effective as
of January 5, 2007 (the “Resignation Date”);

     WHEREAS, Employee wishes to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances,

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as
follows:

COVENANTS

     Consulting Period. Employee hereby resigns as the Company’s Executive Vice President,
Sales & Marketing as of the Resignation Date, provided that the Employee agrees to remain with the
Company from the Resignation Date through six (6) months following the Effective Date (the
“Consulting Period”). Additionally, upon the mutual consent of Company and Employee, the Company
may extend the term of the Consulting Period, for which Employee will continue to be paid his
current base rate of pay (and shall not be entitled to any other benefits for such period). During
the Consulting Period Employee shall be required to provide such services as reasonably requested
by the then current Chief Executive Officer, up to two (2) days per week, except that if Employee
notifies the Company that he has become a full-time employee of another employer the consulting
services will reduce to an as needed basis and scheduled to not interfere with the other employment
Employee. Consulting services may include, but are not limited to, assisting with the overseeing
of the successful conclusion of the implementation of the

 

 

transaction agreement with Bio-Rad and the identification and execution of a pharma business
partner alliance, strategic planning, and providing assistance with any pending litigation against
the Company (including attending depositions and serving as a witness for the Company for any
trial) (the “Consulting Services”) with any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by
the Company. The times and places of performance shall be set so as to best accommodate the
schedules of the Parties, and not unnecessarily interfere with (i) other employment or business
ventures of Employee (including part-time employment or consulting with other businesses), and/or
(ii) normal business operations of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be
construed to constitute Employee as an agent, employee or representative of the Company. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee is not authorized to bind the Company to any
liability or obligation or to represent that Employee has any such authority. Employee agrees
that, during the Consulting Period, he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company,
(i) serve as a partner, consultant, officer, director, manager, agent, associate, investor, or (ii)
directly or indirectly, own, purchase, organize, or (iii) build, design, finance, acquire, lease,
operate, manage, invest in, work or consult for or otherwise affiliate himself with any business,
in direct competition with or otherwise similar to the Company’s products or services. A business
in direct competition with or otherwise similar to the Company’s products or services is defined as
a business that seeks to do competitive business with existing customers of the Company or with
customers that the Company might reasonably anticipate seeking within six months of the end of
Employee’s consulting period.

     A. Consideration. The Company agrees to make payments to Employee, at his current base
rate of pay, less applicable withholding, for six (6) months following the Resignation Date, in
accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. Except as expressly set forth herein,
during the Payment Period, Employee will not be entitled to accrual of any employee benefits,
including, but not limited to, vacation benefits or bonuses.

          1. Retention Bonus. The Employee will continue to be a “Participant,” as such term is
defined in the Retention and Bonus Plan, and Employee’s Retention Bonus will continue to vest for
six (6) months following the Resignation Date, as long as the Employee remains in compliance with
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

          2. Benefits. The Company shall reimburse Employee for the payments Employee makes for
medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for himself and currently covered dependents,
consistent with Employee’s prior rate of coverage and cost to Employee (including related
administrative fees), under the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) through
the earlier of (i) six (6) months following the Effective Date or (ii) until Employee becomes a
full-time employee of another company or entity. Payment Period, provided (i) Employee timely
elects and pays for COBRA coverage, and (ii) Employee shall continue to be responsible for
employee-paid deductibles, co-pays, and the like. Payments made to the Employee for COBRA coverage
under this section shall be reported to the Employee on Form 1099’s that the Company issues to
employee in connection with providing the services set forth

 

 

under Section A hereof. Except as set forth expressly herein, Employee has ceased
accruing all other employee benefits, including, but not limited to, vacation time and paid time
off, short-term and long-term disability insurance and workers compensation as of the Resignation
Date.

          3. Death or Disability. In the event of Employee’s Death, then Employee shall no
longer be entitled to any continued payments or other benefits set forth hereunder.

     B. Confidential Information. Employee shall continue to maintain the confidentiality
of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company and shall continue to comply with
the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement between Employee and the Company.
Employee shall return all of the Company’s property and confidential and proprietary information in
his possession to the Company at the end of the Consulting Period.

     C. Payment of Salary. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid
all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation, commissions and any and all other benefits due to
Employee as of the Resignation Date.

     D. Release of Claims. Employee agrees that the foregoing consideration represents
settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Employee by the Company. Employee has,
on behalf of himself and his respective heirs, family members, executors, officers, directors,
employees, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries,
predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns, hereby fully and forever releases the Company
and its respective officers, directors, employees, investors, shareholders, administrators,
affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns, from, and
agrees not to sue concerning, any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any
matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that he may
possess arising from any omissions, acts or facts that have occurred up until and including the
Effective Date of this Agreement including, without limitation,

          1. any and all claims relating to or arising from Employee’s employment relationship with the
Company and the termination of that relationship;

          2. any and all claims relating to, or arising from, Employee’s right to purchase, or actual
purchase of shares of stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud,
misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty under applicable state corporate law,
and securities fraud under any state or federal law;

          3. any and all claims under the law of any jurisdiction including, but not limited to,
wrongful discharge of employment; constructive discharge from employment; termination in violation
of public policy; discrimination; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of a
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent
or intentional infliction of emotional distress;

 

 

negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with
contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; libel; slander;
negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; and
conversion;

          4. any and all claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal statute, including, but
not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, The Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the California Fair Employment
and Housing Act, and the California Labor Code;

          5. any and all claims for violation of the federal, or any state, constitution;

          6. any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or
employment discrimination;

          7. any claim for any loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of any dispute over the
non-withholding or other tax treatment of any of the proceeds received by Employee as a result of
this Agreement; and

          8. any and all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.

     The Company and Employee agree that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain
in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release
does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement.

     The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and, in the event of breach by Employee, shall
entitle the Company immediately to recover and cease the benefits provided to Employee under this
Agreement.

     E. Acknowledgement of Waiver of Claims Under ADEA. Employee acknowledges that he is
waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
(“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Employee and the Company agree
that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under ADEA after
the Effective Date of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the consideration given for this
waiver and release Agreement is in addition to anything of value to which Employee was already
entitled. Employee further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that:

          (a) he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement;

          (b) he has up to twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement;

 

 

          (c) he has seven (7) days following his execution of this Agreement to revoke the Agreement;

          (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until the revocation period has expired; and

          (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a
determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any
condition precedent, penalties or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal
law.

     F. Civil Code Section 1542. Employee represents that he is not aware of any claim
other than the claims that are released by this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that he has been
advised by legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542,
which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR
DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE
TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST
HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

     Employee, being aware of said code section, agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have
thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

     G. No Pending or Future Lawsuits. The Employee represents that he has no lawsuits,
claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the
Company or any other person or entity referred to herein. The Employee also represents that he
does not intend to bring any claims on his behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity
against the Company or any other person or entity referred to herein.

     H. Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that their agreement to keep the terms
and conditions of this Agreement confidential was a material factor on which all parties relied in
entering into this Agreement. The Parties hereto agree to use their best efforts to maintain in
confidence the existence of this Agreement, the contents and terms of this Agreement, the
consideration for this Agreement, and any allegations relating to the Company or employee’s
employment with the Company except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “Settlement Information”). The Parties agree to take every reasonable
precaution to prevent disclosure of any Settlement Information to third parties, and agree that
there will be no publicity, directly or indirectly, concerning any Settlement Information. The
Parties agree to take every precaution to disclose Settlement Information only to those attorneys,
accountants, governmental entities (including any required filings with the Securities and Exchange

 

 

Commission), and family members who have a reasonable need to know of such Settlement
Information. The Parties agree that if a party proves that the other party breached this
Confidentiality provision, it shall be entitled to an award of its costs spent enforcing this
provision, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the enforcement action without
regard to whether the actual damages can be established from the breach.

     I. No Cooperation. Each Party agrees it will not act in any manner that might damage
the other party. The Parties agree that they will not counsel or assist any attorneys or their
clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims,
charges, or complaints by any third party against the other party and/or any officer, director,
employee, agent, representative, shareholder or attorney of the Company, unless under a subpoena or
other court order to do so. The Parties further agree both to immediately notify the other party
upon receipt of any court order, subpoena, or any legal discovery device that seeks or might
require the disclosure or production of the existence or terms of this Agreement, and to furnish,
within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or legal discovery device to
the other party.

     J. Non-Disparagement. Each party agrees to refrain from any defamation, libel or
slander of the other, or tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of the other.
All inquiries by potential future employers of Employee will be directed to Human Resources. Upon
inquiry, the Company shall only state the following: Employee’s last position and dates of
employment. The Company’s obligations under this section extend only to then current executives,
officers, members of the Board of Directors, and managing agents, and only for so long as those
individuals are employees and/or directors of the Company.

     K. Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees that, commencing on the Resignation Date and
continuing for a period of twelve (12) months following the date Employee ceases to serve as a
consultant pursuant to Section A hereunder, Employee shall not either directly or
indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their
employment, or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage, take
away or hire employees of the Company, either for himself or any other person or entity.

     L. No Admission of Liability. The Parties understand and acknowledge that this
Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of disputed claims. No action taken by the
Parties hereto, or either of them, either previously or in connection with this Agreement shall be
deemed or construed to be: (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any claims heretofore made
or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by either party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the
other party or to any third party.

     M. No Knowledge of Wrongdoing. Employee represents that he has no knowledge of any
wrongdoing involving improper or false claims against a federal or state governmental agency, or
any other wrongdoing that involves Employee or other present or former Company employees.

 

 

     N. Tax Consequences. The Company makes no representations or warranties with respect
to the tax consequences of the payment of any sums to Employee under the terms of this Agreement.
Employee agrees and understands that he is responsible for payment, if any, of local, state and/or
federal taxes on the sums paid hereunder by the Company and any penalties or assessments thereon.
Employee further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claims, demands,
deficiencies, penalties, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency
against the Company for any amounts claimed due on account of Employee’s failure to pay federal or
state taxes or damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees.

     O. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, expert fees, attorneys’ fees
and other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement.

     P. Indemnification. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party
from and against any and all loss, costs, damages or expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred by the non-breaching party arising out of the breach of this
Agreement by the other party, or from any false representation made herein by the other party, or
from any action or proceeding which may be commenced, prosecuted or threatened by the other party
or for that party’s benefit, upon that party’s initiative, or with that party’s aid or approval,
contrary to the provisions of this Agreement. Each party further agrees that in any such action or
proceeding, this Agreement may be pled by a party as a complete defense, or may be asserted by way
of counterclaim or cross-claim. The Company acknowledges the continued applicability of Employee’s
officer and director Indemnification Agreement by and between Company and Employee (the
“Indemnification Agreement”).

     Q. Arbitration. The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of, or
relating to, the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein
released, shall be subject to binding arbitration in Santa Clara County before the American
Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The
Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief
in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The Parties agree that
the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Parties hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court
of law by a judge or jury. This section will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive
relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and
the subject matter of their dispute relating to Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and the
agreements incorporated herein by reference.

     R. Authority. The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the
authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that he has the
capacity to act on his own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Party warrants and represents that there are no
liens or claims of lien or assignments in

 

 

law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action released
herein.

     S. No Representations. Each party represents that it has had the opportunity to
consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands the scope and effect of the
provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has relied upon any representations or statements made
by the other party hereto which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement.

     T. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect without said provision so long as the remaining provisions remain
intelligible and continue to reflect the original intent of the Parties.

     U. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding
between the Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s
relationship with the Company, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and
understandings between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s
relationship with the Company, with the exception of the Indemnification Agreement, Confidentiality
Agreement and the Stock Agreements.

     V. No Waiver. The failure of any party to insist upon the performance of any of the
terms and conditions in this Agreement, or the failure to prosecute any breach of any of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed thereafter as a waiver of any such terms
or conditions. This entire Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no such
forbearance or failure of performance had occurred.

     W. No Oral Modification. Any modification or amendment of this Agreement, or
additional obligation assumed by either party in connection with this Agreement, shall be effective
only if placed in writing and signed by both Parties or by authorized representatives of each
party. No provision of this Agreement can be changed, altered, modified, or waived except by an
executed writing by the Parties.

     X. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered
within the State of California, and it shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.
To the extent that either party seeks injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction for any
claim relating to the alleged misuse or misappropriation of trade secrets or confidential or
proprietary information, each party hereby consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and
venue in the state and federal courts of the State of California.

     Y. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either Party brings an action to enforce or
effect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs
and expenses, including the costs of mediation, arbitration, litigation, court fees, plus
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such an action.

 

 

     Z.          Application for Employment. Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition
of this Agreement, he shall not be entitled to any employment with the Company, its subsidiaries,
or any successor, and he hereby waives any right, or alleged right, of employment or re-employment
with the Company. Employee further agrees that he will not apply for employment with the Company,
its subsidiaries or related companies, or any successor.

     AA.      Effective Date. This Agreement is effective after it has been signed by both
parties and after eight (8) days have passed since Employee has signed the Agreement (the
“Effective Date”), unless revoked by Employee within seven (7) days after the date the Agreement
was signed by Employee.

     BB.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each
counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective,
binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.

     CC.      Voluntary Execution of Agreement. This Agreement is executed voluntarily and
without any duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of the Parties hereto, with the full
intent of releasing all claims. The Parties acknowledge that:

          1. they have read this Agreement;

	  	  	5.1.1 	  	Duration of Interest Periods and Limitations. The Interest Periods shall be three (3) or 
	  	  	  	  	six (6) months, at the discretion of the Obligee, except insofar as: (i) the first Interest 
	  	  	  	  	Period, whose duration shall be from the date of the first Drawdown through January 30, 
	  	  	  	  	2007 (inclusive), and (ii) the last Interest Period whose end date shall necessarily 
	  	  	  	  	coincide with the Final Maturity Date. 
	  
	  	  	5.1.2 	  	Termination of an Interest Period on a Non-Business Day. For calculating the duration 
	  	  	  	  	of an interest period, if the last day thereof is not a Business Day, maturity shall occur on 
	  	  	  	  	the very next Business Day, except if this 

24

	  	  	  	  	occurs in another month, in which case the interest period shall be construed as ending on 
	  	  	  	  	the immediately prior Business Day. The interest payment for such Interest Period and 
	  	  	  	  	that of the next, shall take into account the eventual adjustment that occurs, taking into 
	  	  	  	  	consideration that the next Interest Period shall end on the same date as would have 
			corresponded to it if the aforementioned circumstances had not occurred.  
	  
	5.2 	  	Interest Rate 
	  
	  	  	The nominal annual interest rate applicable to each Interest Period shall be that determined 
	  	  	pursuant to the provisions of Stipulation 15. 
	  
	5.3 	  	Interest Payments 
	  
	  	  	At the end date of each Interest Period the interest accrued during such period shall be subject to 
	  	  	payment, and paid by the Obligee to the Agent on the same day. 
	  
	6. 	  	MATURITY AND AMORTIZATION 
	  
	6.1 	  	Ordinary Amortization 
	  
	  	  	Obligee shall amortize the entirety of the principal drawn down charged to Tranche A, in a lump 
	  	  	sum payment payable on the Final Maturity Date. 
	  
	6.2 	  	Voluntary Accelerated Amortization 
	  
	  	  	Notwithstanding the provisions of Stipulation 6.1, voluntary accelerated amortization of Tranche 
	  	  	A shall be governed by the following: 
	  
	  	  	6.2.1 	  	Minimum Amount and Multiples of Accelerated Amortizations. Except in case of 
	  	  	  	  	amortization of the entirety of Tranche A, voluntary accelerated amortization may only 
	  	  	  	  	be undertaken in a minimum amount of TWENTY-FIVE MILLION EUROS (€ 
	  	  	  	  	25,000,000) or, if greater, in whole multiples of FIVE MILLION EUROS (€ 5,000,000). 
	  
	  	  	6.2.2 	  	Advance Notice of Accelerated Amortization. Obligee shall have notified the Agent in 
	  	  	  	  	writing of its intent at least fifteen (15) Business Days in advance of the date on which it 
	  	  	  	  	is going to accelerate amortization, indicating the amount and date of accelerated 
	  	  	  	  	amortization which shall coincide with the end date of an Interest Period or otherwise it 
	  	  	  	  	shall be subject to the obligation to indemnify pursuant to the provisions of Stipulation 
	  	  	  	  	21.6. 
	  
	  	  	6.2.3 	  	Irrevocability of the Notice of Accelerated Amortization. Once notification of the 
	  	  	  	  	accelerated amortization is received by the Agent, the Obligee’s decision shall be deemed 
	  	  	  	  	irrevocable, and default thereon, both in terms of the date and the amount, shall be 
	  	  	  	  	deemed a breach of this agreement. 

25

	  	  	6.2.4 	  	Communication of Notification by the Agent to the Lending Institutions. The Agent shall 
	  	  	  	  	communicate the notice of accelerated amortization to the Lending Institution by no later 
	  	  	  	  	than the second Business Day after receipt thereof. 
	  
	  	  	6.2.5 	  	No Commissions for Voluntary Accelerated Amortization. Voluntary accelerated 
	  	  	  	  	amortization shall not accrue commissions in favor of the Lending Institutions. 
	  
	  	  	6.2.6 	  	Non-Definitive Nature. The amounts of principal of Tranche A whose amortization is 
	  	  	  	  	voluntarily accelerated may be drawn down again by the Obligee, only when the 
	  	  	  	  	accelerated amortization is made through Subordinated Debt (excluding the Subordinated 
	  	  	  	  	Debt Agreement and any other contribution made charged to Tranche B of the 
	  	  	  	  	ACCIONA Financing Agreement), although the Drawdown shall coincide with the start 
	  	  	  	  	of the current Interest Period for the rest of the amounts drawn down at that date and shall 
	  	  	  	  	be used only to repay the principal of such Subordinated Debt. 
	  
	  	  	6.2.7 	  	Amortization on a Non-Business Day. If any of the amortization dates for any item were 
	  	  	  	  	not a Business Day, it shall be construed that the amortization shall be made on the 
	  	  	  	  	following Business Day, unless this corresponds to the next calendar month, in which 
	  	  	  	  	case the payment shall have to be made on the prior Business Day. 
	  
	6.3 	  	Payment 
	  
	  	  	The Maximum Amount of Tranche A may be reduced voluntarily by the Obligee coinciding with 
	  	  	a payment date for the Tranche A drawdown commission, as established in Stipulation 19.3.1. 
	  	  	The amount of Tranche A so reduced may not thereafter be drawn down by the Obligee. The 
	  	  	following conditions shall be applicable to the voluntary reduction of the Maximum Amount of 
	  	  	Tranche A. 
	  
	  	  	6.3.1 	  	Amount of the Voluntary Reduction of the Maximum Amount of Tranche A. A voluntary 
	  	  	  	  	reduction of the Maximum Amount of Tranche A may only be undertaken for a 
	  	  	  	  	maximum amount equivalent to the Unused Amount of Tranche A on the corresponding 
	  	  	  	  	date, in a minimum amount of TWENTY-FIVE MILLION EUROS (€ 25,000,000) or, if 
	  	  	  	  	greater, in whole multiples of FIVE MILLION EUROS (€ 5,000,000). 
	  
	  	  	6.3.2 	  	Advance Notice of Voluntary Reduction of the Maximum Amount of Tranche A. Obligee 
	  	  	  	  	shall have previously notified the Agent in writing of its intent to reduce the Maximum 
	  	  	  	  	Amount of Tranche A at least 10 Business Days in advance of the date on which the 
	  	  	  	  	reduction is going to take effect. Once the notification of the voluntary reduction of the 
	  	  	  	  	Maximum Amount of Tranche A is received, it shall be deemed irrevocable. 
	  
	  	  	6.3.3 	  	Communication of Notification by the Agent to the Lending Institutions. The Agent shall 
	  	  	  	  	notify the Lending Institutions of the notice of voluntary reduction of the Maximum 
	  	  	  	  	Amount of Tranche A by no later than the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt 
	  	  	  	  	thereof. 

26

	  	  	6.3.4       No Commissions for Reducing the Maximum Amount of Tranche A. The reduction in the 
	  	  	               Maximum Amount of Tranche A shall not accrue commissions or amounts for any reason 
	  	  	               in favor of the Lending Institutions. 
	  
	7. 	  	JOINT NATURE 
	  
	7.1 	  	Joint Nature 
	  
	  	  	The contractual positions of each of the Lending Institutions in Tranche A shall be joint in nature, 
	  	  	and their rights and obligations are therefore entirely independent except if otherwise expressly 
	  	  	stated in this Financing Agreement. 
	  
	7.2 	  	Effects of Breach by Any Lending Institution 
	  
	  	  	No Lending Institution shall be responsible for default by another Lending Institution on the 
	  	  	obligations stipulated in virtue of this Financing Agreement. In any case it is clarified that in case 
	  	  	of default by a Lending Institution of its obligations, such shall not exempt the Obligee from 
	  	  	performance of its obligations with respect to the remaining Lending Institutions. 
	  
	7.3 	  	Extrajudicial and Judicial Actions of Lending Institutions 
	  
	  	  	Lending Institutions may individually undertake acts of an extrajudicial nature to keep and defend 
	  	  	their own rights and interests and those of the other Lending Institutions subject to the provisions 
	  	  	of the second paragraph of Stipulation 27.2. A Lending Institution may only exercise its own 
	  	  	rights judicially. 
	  
	7.4 	  	Agreements of the Majority of Lending Institutions 
	  
	  	  	7.4.1        Agreements of the Majority of Lending Institutions. Except if otherwise expressly 
	  	  	               established, the decisions of the Lending Institutions related to this Agreement shall be 
	  	  	               taken by agreement of the Majority of the Lending Institutions and shall thus bind the 
	  	  	               minority. 
	  
	  	  	               In particular, and without prejudice to the provisions of Stipulations 7.3 and 27.2, the 
	  	  	               Majority of Lending Institutions may agree, with a binding nature, to waive the exercise 
	  	  	               of rights recognized in this agreement in favor of the Lending Institutions (waivers), 
	  	  	               provided that it is a waiver or authorization for the specific nonperformance of a duty, 
	  	  	               limitation, or obligation for which the Obligee is responsible, and is limited to the 
	  	  	               specific case requested by the Obligee. 
	  
	  	  	               Any waiver of rights or authorities, or authorization for the Obligee not to perform firm 
	  	  	               obligations, which are sought to be effective after the date of acceptance thereof, shall be 
	  	  	               deemed a modificatory novation of this agreement, and therefore will require the consent 
	  	  	               of all Lending Institutions. 

27

	7.4.2      	Prohibition Against Agreements to Waive Rights (Waivers). The Majority of Lending Institutions may not agree to waivers of rights (waivers) recognized in favor of the Lending Institutions on the following matters: 
	 
	 	(i)      	Any alteration of the proportionality among the Lending Institutions, even if such alteration is specific or limited to a specific case; 
	 
	 	(ii)      	Any amendment of the amortization schedule, drawdown periods, maturity or payment dates, and/or amount of the Financing; 
	 
	 	(iii)      	Any amendment of the interest rates (ordinary or indemnificatory) or applicable margins, of the system for the calculation and/or payment thereof, as well as any other change in the procedure for calculating and charging commissions; 
	 
	 	(iv)      	Any amendment of Guaranties, exemption from the establishment thereof, or lifting any of them; 
	 
	 	(v)      	Any modification of the provisions of this Stipulation; 
	 
	 	(vi)      	Any modification that implies new or additional obligations for any Lending Institution, except if it has the consent of the affected party; 
	 
	 	(vii)      	Any amendment of the regime for assigning the contractual position of the Obligee. 
	 
	 	Any agreement on the matters described, notwithstanding the content thereof, shall be deemed a novation of this agreement, and shall require the consent of all Lending Institutions.
	 
	 

SECTION THREE – TRANCHE B (CURRENT-ACCOUNT LINE OF CREDIT)

	8.      	GENERAL TERMS 
	 
	8.1      	Amount 
	 
	 	The Agent grants the Obligee a current-account business loan for a total maximum amount of ONE BILLION EIGHTY-THREE MILLION TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TWELVE EUROS AND FIFTY-TWO CENTS (€ 1,083,277,312.52). 
	 

28

	
8.2

	
Acceptance

Obligee accepts the line of credit covered by Tranche B and undertakes to make the corresponding Drawdowns under the terms and conditions established in this Agreement, to return the principal drawn down, to pay the interest thereon, to pay the commissions, costs, taxes, and expenses charged to or derived from it and to perform its remaining obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Financing Agreement.

	  
	
8.3

	
Use

Obligee shall initially use the entirety of the Maximum Amount of Tranche B exclusively to pay down part of the Bridge Loan.

Additionally, if mandatory or voluntary accelerated amortizations occur to cure the occurrence of a cause for Accelerated Maturity, the last drawdown of Tranche B shall be applied to repayment of the principal of the Subordinated Debt, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the ACCIONA Support Agreement.

Finally, also in the case that mandatory or voluntary accelerated amortizations occur, Tranche B may be drawn down to pay interest and commissions charged to this Financing Agreement.

	  
	
9.

	
DRAWDOWN OF FUNDS

Obligee may draw down the funds charged to Tranche B, without a special request and up to the limit of the Maximum Amount of Tranche B, through checks, transfers, current account debits, and through any other procedure allowed in banking and in any case pursuant to the requirements established in this Stipulation 9.

The mechanism for drawing down and depositing shall take the form of a loan account current account opened by the Agent in the name of the Obligee pursuant to the provisions below. The balance of the aforementioned account shall be the difference between the debit and the credit, as defined below:

	  
	  	a) 	  	All amounts resulting in favor of the Agent, in virtue of the provisions of this Agreement, 
	  	  	  	shall be recorded as a debit to the account. 
	  
	  	b) 	  	All credits and deposits made shall be recorded as credits. 
	  
	  	
For the foregoing effects, the Obligee shall keep the Loan Account Current Account opened in its name throughout the life of the Financing.

	  
	
9.1

	
First Drawdown of Tranche B

The first Drawdown of funds charged to Tranche B shall be subject to the same requirements established in Stipulation 3.4 for the first Drawdown of Tranche A.

29

	  	
Obligee grants an irrevocable mandate in favor of the Agent for it to be able to debit the Loan Account Current Account for the Maximum Amount of Tranche B and to deposit such amount in the Main Account, on the same date as the date of delivery of the first Drawdown of Tranche A, to amortize the Bridge Loan.

	  
	
9.2

	
Second and Subsequent Drawdowns of Tranche B

The second and subsequent Drawdowns of funds charged to Tranche B shall be subject to the same requirements established in Stipulation 3.4 for the second and subsequent Drawdowns of Tranche A.

Beyond the aforesaid, Drawdowns of Tranche B shall have the purpose of amortizing, in whole or in part, Tranche B of the ACCIONA Financing Agreement, such that the sum of the outstanding balances of Tranche B under this Agreement and Tranche B under the ACCIONA Financing Agreement never exceed the Maximum Amount of Tranche B.

	  
	
10.

10.1

	
INTEREST ON THE CURRENT-ACCOUNT LOAN

Accrual

A debit balance in the Loan Account Current Account shall accrue interest in favor of the Agent at a variable interest rate calculated pursuant to Stipulation 11.1.

A credit balance in the Loan Account Current Account shall accrue interest in favor of the Obligee at a variable interest rate calculated pursuant to the provisions of a separate letter, a copy of which is delivered by the Agent to the rest of the Lending Institution today. The terms and conditions of this letter shall not bind the rest of the Creditors in case of replacement of the Agent. This notwithstanding in the case that the new Agent voluntarily wants to remunerate the Obligee under these terms, Obligee may not refuse to do so.

	  
	
10.2

	
Daily, Annualized Accrual During Each Interest Period

Interest payable by the Obligee shall accrue daily, on the daily debit balances reflected each day in the Loan Account Current Account, on the basis of a three hundred sixty day (360) year, and shall be calculated by the number of calendar days elapsed in each Interest Period, including the first day and excluding the last.

	  
	
10.3

	
Interest Periods

For the effect of calculating the interest, the time between the date of the first drawdown charged to Tranche B and the Final Maturity Date shall be deemed divided into successive Interest Periods, the first day of each Interest Period coinciding with the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.

Interest Periods shall in all cases have a duration of three (3) or six (6) months, at the discretion of the Obligee. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the first Interest Period shall have a duration from the date of the first Drawdown charged to Tranche B until January

30

		
30, 2007 (inclusive), and the last Interest Period shall necessarily end on the Final Maturity Date (inclusive).

To calculate the duration of an Interest Period, if the last day thereof is not a Business Day, maturity shall occur on the very next Business Day, except if this occurs in then next calendar month, in which case the Interest Period shall be construed as ending on the immediately prior Business Day. The interest payment for such Interest Period and that of the next, shall take into account any eventual adjustment that occurs, taking into consideration that the next Interest Period shall end on the same date as would have corresponded to it if the aforementioned circumstances had not occurred.

	  
	
11.

11.1

	
INTEREST RATE ON TRANCHE B AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST

Interest Rate

The nominal annual interest rate applicable to each Interest Period for Tranche B shall be determined as established in Stipulation 15.

Notwithstanding that established in the preceding paragraph, the Margin shall only be applicable to the principal of Tranche B not guaranteed at any moment.

	  
	
11.2

	
Interest Payments

On the date when each of the successive Interest Period ends, the interest accrued thereof shall be subject to payment, by applying the interest rate calculated as established in Stipulation 15 to the daily debit balance in the Loan Account Current Account during the corresponding Interest Period.

The interest so paid shall be charged against the balance of the Main Account, and if it is insufficient, in the Obligee’s Loan Account Current Account and when the debit balance of such account does not exceed the Maximum Amount of Tranche B. Otherwise, Obligee shall pay the interest, by depositing in the account opened in the Bank of Spain in the Agent’s name with number 0049 or in such other as at any time the Agent informs it.

	  
	
12.

	
EXCESS DRAWDOWNS

The Agent may not allow drawdowns or debits that exceed the Maximum Amount of Tranche B.

	  
	
13.

13.1

	
REPAYMENT AND MATURITY

Maturity

The principal drawn down from the Maximum Amount of Tranche B shall have been fully reimbursed by the Obligee on the Final Maturity Date together with the interest, commissions, expenses, and any other amount owed for any item in virtue of this Agreement.

31

	
13.2

	
Voluntary Accelerated Repayment

Obligee may repay the balances drawn down charged to Tranche B at any time. The amounts so repaid may be drawn down again by the Obligee pursuant to the provisions of Stipulation 9.

	
14.

14.1

	
GUARANTY

Guaranteed Obligations

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Stipulation 14, in virtue of this guaranty the Guarantors guarantee to the Agent performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

	
14.2

	
Guaranty Upon First Demand

If a breach has occurred on the part of the Obligee under the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors undertake to perform their obligations, described in Section 14.3 below, upon first demand by the Agent, expressly waiving the authority to claim any defenses therefor that might be derived from the relations that the Guarantors maintained with the Agent or the Obligee. 

For all effects this guaranty shall be commercial in nature and configured as upon first demand, and therefore it shall in no way be affected by the circumstances that the Guaranteed Obligations were subject to:

	  	(i) 	  	

Modification, novation, settlement, arrangement, assignment, or in general any 

renegotiations or extensions which are not the result of a prior agreement by the Lenders 

with the Obligee subject to the rules of majority or unanimity if applicable, stipulated in this Agreement.
	  	
 

	  	(ii) 	  	A dispute or litigation, either in arbitration or court. Likewise, this guaranty shall remain in effect if any of the following cases occurs:
	  	 
	  	(i) 	  	Declaration of Obligee’s bankruptcy; or approval of discharge and/or grace agreements (either judicial or extrajudicial in nature). 
	  	  	  	
	  	(ii) 	  	The merger, divestiture, or transformation of the Obligee, or approval of any amendment 

to the Obligee’s bylaws, or a change in the corporate form of the Obligee.
	 
	  	(iii) 	  	Any change in the capital structure of the Obligee. 
				
 

	
14.3

	
Obligations of Guarantors

The Agent may demand performance of this guaranty upon first demand at any time. For this, it shall be sufficient that if any breach of the Guaranteed Obligations has occurred, the Agent demand payment of the Guarantors

32

		
through any certifiable means, without their being able to demand that the Agent notify them through a specific form or with any formalities.

Such demand shall contain (i) the net amount past due and payable whose payment is demanded of the Guarantors by the Agent; and (ii) a breakdown of the net amounts past due and owed by the Obligee under the Guaranteed Obligations.

The execution of this guaranty through the demand for payment to the Guarantors, once or several times, may not exceed the individual figure established in Section 14.4 below.

Once the demand is received, the Guarantors shall pay the Agent the amount requested by the Agent, into such current account as it designates, on the same value-date as the demand.

	  
	
14.4

	
Maximum Amount of Guaranty

The Guarantors shall be liable under the guaranty granted pursuant to the following shares:

	       Guarantor             	  	Maximum Amount 	  	Guaranteed 
	  	  	of the Guaranty (for 	  	Percentage of 
	  	  	 principal) (euros) 	  	Tranche B 
	

		

		

	CALYON 	  	52,899,851.57 	  	4.880%

	IMI 	  	132,249,628.92 	  	12.210% 
	TOTAL 	  	542,223,478.57 	  	50.05% 
	

		

		

In additional to the maximum liability for principal stated in the preceding table, the Guarantors shall be liable to the Agent for ordinary interest and arrears interest, up to an amount equivalent, each of them, to the amount resulting from applying a percentage of 7% to the maximum amount of the principal they are responsible for, calculated on an annual basis, for a six (6) month period. 

As a result of any assignment made in virtue of the provisions of Stipulation 26.2, any new or existing Guarantor who acquires a share of the Guaranty or increases is interest therein, shall accept and assume the amount of the share in the Guaranty and the amounts and percentages detailed above shall be deemed amended as a result. 

33

	
14.5

	
Joint Nature

The contractual positions of each one of the Guarantors in the Guaranty shall be joint in nature, and therefore their rights and obligations thereunder are entirely independent.

If there are amounts owed under the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent shall demand the corresponding amount from each of the Guarantors, pursuant to their share of the Guaranty.

	  
	
14.6

	
Effects of Breach by Any Guarantor

No Guarantor shall be liable for default by another Guarantor of the obligations stipulated in virtue of this Guaranty. In any case it is clarified that in case of default by a Guarantor of its obligations, such shall not exempt the Agent from performance of its obligations with respect to the Obligee or the remaining Lending Institutions.

	  
	
14.7

	
Repayment

Obligee irrevocably undertakes to repay the Guarantors the amounts delivered by them to the Agent and the arrears interest regulated in Stipulation 16 accrued on this amount from the date of payment by the Guarantors to the Agent through the date on which the aforementioned repayment is made effective. This repayment obligation shall be met by the Obligee immediately.

	  
	
14.8

	
Subrogation

By reason of the payments made to the Agent under the Guaranty, the Guarantors shall subrogate to the contractual position of the Agent in its capacity as a Tranche B Lender under this agreement with respect to the Obligee, and with respect to the Obligee and ACCIONA, within the framework of the ACCIONA Support Agreement, the Subordinated Loan Agreement, and the Guaranty Agreement.

	  
	
14.9

	
Risk Commission

Obligee shall pay the Guarantors a risk commission in an amount equivalent to that resulting from applying the Margin to the daily debit balances of Tranche B guaranteed under the Guarantee in the corresponding payment period, which shall correspond to the Tranche B Interest Periods.

This commission shall be paid and credited to the Agent for distribution thereof among the Guarantors as a function of their participation in the Guaranty, on each Tranche B interest payment date.

	  
	
14.10

	
Drawdown Commission

Obligee shall pay the Agent for distribution thereof among the Guarantors as a function of their participation in the Guaranty, a drawdown commission equivalent to THIRTY PERCENT (30%) of the applicable Margin, accrued on the amount resulting from applying

34

		
to the average balance of the Unused Amount of Tranche B during the corresponding payment period, a percentage equivalent to the difference between (i) one hundred percent and (ii) the percentage corresponding to the Agents unguaranteed participation in Tranche B, provided that the sum of the outstanding balances of Tranche B and of the Financing Agreement’s Tranche B are less than the Maximum Amount of Tranche B. Such commission shall accrue daily from the date (inclusive) of this signing of this agreement and shall be paid six-monthly in arrears, coinciding with the interest payment date, being payable by the Obligee on the very next Business Day.

The calculation of the aforementioned drawdown commission shall be made as a function of the number of calendar days effectively transpired in each six-month period on the basis of a 360-day year.

	  
	
14.11

	
Recordation of Guaranty in Registry Books

SECTION FOUR – TERMS AND CONDITIONS COMMON TO BOTH TRANCHES

	
15.

15.1

	
INTEREST RATE

Calculation

The nominal annual interest rate applicable to the Interest Periods into which the Drawdown of Tranche A and the outstanding balance of Tranche B are divided shall be calculated by the Agent by adding to the reference interest rate (or, if applicable, to the substitute rate) applicable pursuant to Stipulation 15.2 of the Margin established in Stipulation 15.3. In any case, the provisions of Section 11.1 above regarding the Margin shall be taken into account to calculate the nominal annual interest rate applicable to the Interest Periods into which the outstanding balance of Tranche B is divided.

	  
	
15.2

	
Reference Interest Rate and Substitution Rate

15.2.1      Reference Interest Rate:    EURIBOR.    The reference interest rate shall be the EURIBOR rate. EURIBOR is construed as the money market reference

35

	 	rate in the euro zone which, pursuant to the rules established to that end by the European Banking Federation, is published on the REUTERS EURIBOR01 screen, or such as may at any time replace it, at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the second Business Day prior to the start of the Interest Period in question for euro deposits for a term equal to that of such Interest Period. If such rate does not appear for the indicated time period on such screen, the reference interest rate shall be calculated by linear interpolation of the two rates corresponding to the closest exceeding period by default (or, in the absence thereof, through application of the rate corresponding to the closest period). Brokerage fees, surcharges, and the expenses normally applicable at the time of calculation thereof in the interbank market, as well as the corresponding taxes, shall be added to such reference interest rate. 
	 
	15.2.2      	Substitute Rate. If it is impossible to determine the reference interest rate pursuant to Section 15.2.1, a substitute interest rate shall be applicable in that Interest Period, determined as follows: 
	 
	 	(i)      	Amount of the Substitute Rate: the substitute rate shall result from the arithmetic mean of the interbank interest rates offered by the Reference Institutions in the euro zone interbank market, at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the second Business Day before the start of the Interest Period, for euro deposits for a period of time equal to that of the Interest Period in question (or, in the absence thereof, for the closest period, applying the lowest rate in case of an equal time distance of the periods). Brokerage fees, surcharges, and the expenses normally applicable at the time of calculation thereof in the interbank market, as well as the corresponding taxes, shall be added to such reference interest rate. 
	 
	 	(ii)      	Reference Institutions: shall initially be: 
	 
	 	 	
	

	DEUTSCHE BANK, Spain Branch. 
	 
	 	 	
	

	BARCLAYS BANK, Spain Branch. 
	 
	 	 	
	

	ING, Spain Branch. 
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding, it is clarified that the Lending Institutions may not in any case be considered Reference Institutions. 
	 
	 	(iii)      	Mechanism for Establishing the Substitute Rate: The Agent shall request that the Reference Institutions provide it, during the morning of the second Business Day before the start date of the corresponding Interest Period, the applicable interbank interest rates with which the Agent shall have to calculate, on that same day, the arithmetic mean indicated in section (i) above. If any Reference Institution does not indicate or cannot indicate such interest rate, the arithmetic mean of the Reference Institution that do quote it shall be found, provided that there are at least two of them. 
	 

36

	  	  	  	  	(iv) 	  	Replacement of Reference Institutions: Any of the Reference Institutions shall 
	  	  	  	  	  	  	cease to be so when they fail to make the corresponding communications 
	  	  	  	  	  	  	required in relation to one or more Interest Periods or if it were to merge with or 
	  	  	  	  	  	  	be absorbed by one of the Lending Institutions or become a Lending Institution 
	  	  	  	  	  	  	through the acquisition of an interest in the financing covered by this Agreement. 
	  	  	  	  	  	  	The replacement of such Reference Institutions shall be provided by a new 
	  	  	  	  	  	  	designation made by the Agent. 
	  
	  	  	15.2.3 	  	Return to the Ordinary Interest Rate. The application of the substitute rate shall cease 
	  	  	  	  	when the circumstances that gave rise to the application thereof disappear, 
	  	  	  	  	recommencing, from the start of the next Interest Period on the date the normal 
	  	  	  	  	circumstances were reestablished, the procedure for determining the reference interest 
	  	  	  	  	rate.

	15.5      	Market Breakage 
	 
	 	15.5.1      	Interbank Financing. Obligee acknowledges and accepts that the Lending Institutions normally finance the funds lent by contracting in the interbank money market the necessary deposits or other liability transactions for the terms corresponding to the Interest Periods and for the amount corresponding to their participation in the financing covered by this Agreement. In this regard, and subject to the provisions of the preceding sections of this Stipulation 15.5, the Lending Institutions shall not be subject to any liability, particularly insofar as performance of their obligations to deliver funds derived from this Agreement, if exceptional events or circumstances were to occur beyond their control which, even if foreseen, were inevitable, and which prevented or hindered beyond reasonable commercial terms the obtainment of the interbank financing necessary to perform such obligations. 
	 

38

	 	15.5.2      	Market Breakage: Notification. If because of exceptional circumstances any Lending Institution were unable to contact the liability transactions required to finance the funds lent under the corresponding conditions of term and amount, it shall immediately notify the Agent.

	16.2      	Capitalization of Ordinary Interest 
	 
	 	Pursuant to Article 317 of the Code of Commerce, net interest as well as any other amounts (such as commissions or taxes or recoverable expenses) unpaid by the Obligee shall be capitalized on the day after their due date, and as an increase in the principal of the corresponding Tranche to which they are related, they shall accrue the arrears interest established in Stipulation 16.1. 
	 

39

	16.3      	Liquidation and Payment or Capitalization of Arrears Interest 
	 
	 	The arrears interest indicated in Stipulations 16.1 and 16.2 shall be settled and paid by the Obligee monthly starting from the start date of the arrears, except if the default has been cured prior to the end of the monthly period, in which case the final settlement shall be for the calendar days transpired.

	 	17.2.1      	Repercussion.

	 	17.3.1      	General Statement. If any change or innovation in the legal system caused any or all of the obligations of any of the Lending Institutions to be contrary thereto pursuant to this agreement, the Lending Institution in question shall report such circumstance to the Agent, who shall in turn report it to the Obligee, and that Lending Institution shall be automatically released therefrom without incurring any liability with respect to the Obligee. 
	 
	 	17.3.2      	Adaptation of the Financing in Case of Supervening Legal Noncompliance. If such change or innovation in the legal system does not affect any essential element of the Financing Agreement, Obligee and the affected Lending Institution shall negotiate in good faith with a view toward mitigating the consequences of the supervening legal noncompliance. 
	 
	 	17.3.3      	Accelerated Amortization for Supervening Legal Noncompliance. If the change or innovation in the legal system were to affect any essential element of the Financing Agreement, or if the Obligee and the affected Lending Institution were not to reach an agreement on the adaptation thereof under the tenor of the preceding section within a period of fifteen (15) days from the notification of the circumstance occurring, the affected Lending Institution may terminate this Agreement insofar as related to it. Obligee shall then be obligated to return to the Lending Institution in question, within the fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the notification of the Accelerated Termination thereof (or within the shorter period which is required by the change or innovation in question) the outstanding principal with the interest accrued through the date of payment and any other item for which it is responsible in virtue of this agreement.

OBLIGATORY ACCELERATED AMORTIZATION

Amortization for Supervening Legal Noncompliance

If, as a result of the causes established in Section 15.5.4 or in Stipulation 17.3 and without prejudice to the provisions of Stipulation 21.6, Obligee were obligated to amortize Tranche A and/or Tranche B in whole or in part, such amortization shall not be subject to any commission or penalty whatsoever.

The principal amounts amortized under this section may not be drawn down again by the Obligee.

	  
	
18.2

	
Amortization because of RCDS

Obligee shall be obligated to accelerate amortization of the outstanding principal of the Financing if n any Measurement Date the RCS were below 1.15.

In this case the Obligee shall amortize an amount equivalent to that by which the amount of the Senior Debt corresponding to the measurement that resulted in the noncompliance with the RCDS must be reduced, for such RCDS to be greater than or equal to 1.15.

The aforementioned amount shall be reported by the Agent to the Obligee together with the notification of noncompliance with the RCDS. Obligee shall proceed with the accelerated amortization of the Financing within the two (2) Business Days after the notification in that regard. Obligee may not use as a defense against compliance with the obligation of accelerated termination under the terms cited above any changes in the RCDS during the period of time between the Measurement Date that gives rise to the amortization and the amortization date[.]

The principal amounts amortized under this section may be drawn down again by the Obligee pursuant to the provisions of Stipulation 9 and in the rest of this Financing Agreement.

	21.      	PAYMENTS 
	 
	21.1      	Method of Payment

	 	Payments shall be deemed made and shall be discharged when their amounts have been paid to the Agent by charge to the Loan Account Current Account, or, if applicable, in the Agent’s account indicated in the preceding section definitively and irrevocably, pursuant to banking customs or regulations at the time.

	21.3      	Allocation 
	 
	 	The regime for allocating payments shall be as follows: 
	 
	 	21.3.1      	Allocation by Item: Payments made by the Obligee, either under Tranche A or Tranche B, shall be allocated to past-due debts in the following order:

	 	(v) legal costs; and 
	 
	 	(vi) principal. 
	 
	 	21.3.2      	Allocation by Date: Within each item, payments shall be allocated to the oldest debt with respect to the most recent.

	 	21.4.1      	Proportionality of Payments as a Function of the Participation of Each Lending Institution.

Any Lending Institution that receives payments by reason of this Financing Agreement which does not respect such proportionality shall make the amounts so received available to the Agent for the effects of the appropriate redistribution among the Lending Institutions. 
	 
	 	 	The following cases are excluded from the provisions of this Section 21.4.1: 
	 
	 	 	(i)      	payments received by the Lending Institutions in cases of individual claims (extrajudicial or, with the requirements established in Section 27.2, judicial) stipulated in this Financing Agreement. 
	 
	 	 	(ii)      	if any of the Lending Institutions has received an amount greater than the rest of the Lending Institutions by application of Article 91.6 of the Bankruptcy Act, provided that such institution, prior to filing for bankruptcy of the Obligee and pursuant to the requirements established in this agreement, has offered the rest of the Lending Institutions the possibility of filing a joint request for bankruptcy through the Agent and such joint request was not agreed within a maximum period of fifteen (15) Business Days. 
	 
	 	 	(iii)      	when, within the framework of the bankruptcy of the Obligee and pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act, one or several Lending Institutions have received an amount less than that which would proportionally appertain to it because they are persons especially related to the bankrupt. 
	 
	 	21.4.2      	Reimbursement of the Agent. If the Agent were to make any payment in its capacity as such charged to the funds received in its capacity as such and it happened that because such funds were not recorded in its books definitively and irrevocably it had to return them or in any other manner lost availability
