 Dear Mike: 
 I am pleased to
offer you a position with Tessera, Inc., as Executive Vice President, Product Division, reporting to me. If you decide to join us, you will receive an annual salary of $285,000, which will be paid in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll procedures. You will also be eligible to receive a MBO bonus of 50% with a maximum potential up to 80% of your base salary paid on an annual basis. This bonus is based on objectives set forth and mutually agreed upon by you and
myself. For your first year we will guarantee 50% of the personal portion of your bonus, subject to your performance against the established MBOs. We will also provide you with a $25,000 signing bonus. The sign on bonus will be payable of the first
pay period following your start date and is contingent upon your continuing as an employee of Tessera for six months. 
 As an employee, you
are also eligible to receive certain employee benefits including Group medical and dental benefits, 401(k) plan as well as other Tessera sponsored benefits. You should note that the Company reserves the right to modify salaries and benefits
from time to time as it deems necessary. 
 In addition, if you decide to join us, it will be recommended at the first meeting of the
Company’s Board of Directors following your start date that the Company grant you an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on the
date of grant, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. This option grant shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Stock Option Plan and Stock Option Agreement, including vesting requirements. 
 It will also be recommended at the first meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors following your start date that the Company will provide you a
grant of 20,000 shares of the Company’s Restricted Stock at no cost, vesting monthly over a twenty-four month period beginning January, 2008. 

 Should there be a change of control at the Company and within 12 months thereafter either 1) your
employment is terminated or, 2) you terminate your employment for good reason, the following terms shall apply: 1) Severance package consisting of six months of base salary and 2) Twelve months acceleration of unvested shares of common stock. For
this purpose, change of control shall mean: 1) Any merger or combination with or into a third party, or 2) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 
 Good reason shall apply under any of the following: 1) Employee relocation to more than 30 miles from the current facility or 2) A reduction in base
salary or in job related duties. 
 The Company is excited about your joining and looks forward to a beneficial and fruitful relationship.
Nevertheless, you should be aware that your employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes at-will employment. As a result, you are free to resign at any time, for any reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free
to conclude its employment relationship with you at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. We request that, in the event of resignation, you give the Company at least two weeks notice. 
 The Company reserves the right to request an investigative consumer report, which may include background investigations and/or reference checks, on all
of its potential employees. Your job offer, therefore, is contingent upon a clearance of such a report, if any. 
 For purposes of federal
immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your date of
hire, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated. 
 We also ask that, if you have not already done so, you disclose to the
Company any and all agreements relating to your prior employment that may affect your eligibility to be employed by the Company or limit the manner in which you may be employed. It is the Company’s understanding that any such agreements will
not prevent you from performing the duties of your position and you represent that such is the case. Moreover, you agree that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting
or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company.
Similarly, you agree not to bring any third party confidential information to the Company, including that of your former employer, and that in performing your duties for the Company you will not in any way utilize any such information. 

As a Company employee, you will be expected to abide by company rules and standards. You will be specifically required to sign an
acknowledgment that you have read and that you understand the Company’s rules of conduct which are included in the Company Handbook. As a condition of your employment, you will also be required to sign and comply with an Employment,
Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement which requires, among other provisions, the assignment of patent rights to any invention made during your employment at the Company, and non-disclosure of proprietary
information. The Agreement also provides that in the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of our employment relationship, you and the Company agree that all such disputes shall be fully and finally resolved by binding
arbitration.  

 To indicate your acceptance of the Company’s offer, please sign and date this letter in the space
provided below. A duplicate original is enclosed for your records. If you accept our offer, you will start your employment on February 3, 2006. This letter, along with any agreements relating to proprietary rights between you and the Company,
set forth the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral. This letter, including, but not limited to, its at-will employment provision, may not be modified or amended
except by a written agreement signed by the Company President and you. 
 Mike, we look forward to your favorable reply and to working with
you at Tessera.

        Form of Receipts; Registration and Transferability of American Depositary Shares. 
  
 Definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions,
modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless such Receipt shall have been executed by the Depositary by the manual

signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. The Depositary shall maintain books on which (i) each Receipt so executed and delivered as hereinafter provided and the transfer of each such Receipt shall be registered and (ii) all

 Receipts bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary who was at any time a proper signatory of the
Depositary shall bind the Depositary, notwithstanding that such signatory has ceased to hold such office prior to the execution and delivery of such Receipts by the Registrar or did not hold such office on the date of issuance of such Receipts.

  
 The Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the

applicable law or regulations thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which American Depositary Shares may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or
restrictions to which any particular Receipts are subject by reason of the date of issuance of the underlying Deposited Securities or otherwise. 
  
 American Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt, when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, shall be transferable as
certificated registered securities under the laws of New York. American Depositary Shares not evidenced by Receipts shall be transferable as uncertificated registered securities under the laws of New York. The Depositary, notwithstanding any notice
to the contrary, may treat the Owner of American Depositary Shares as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution of dividends or 

  

 - 5 - 

 
other distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes. 
  
 SECTION 2.02.         Deposit of
Shares. 
  
 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit
Agreement, Shares or evidence of rights to receive Shares may be deposited by delivering them to the Depositary pursuant to a procedure and instruments, if applicable, satisfactory to the Custodian, together with all such certifications as may be
required by the Depositary or the Custodian in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, and, if the Depositary requires, together with a written order directing the Depositary to deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person
or persons stated in such order, the number of American Depositary Shares representing those Shares. 
  
 No Share shall be accepted for deposit unless accompanied by evidence (which may be an opinion of counsel) reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary that
any necessary approval has been granted by any governmental body in Spain that is then performing the function of the regulation of currency exchange. If required by the Depositary, and if applicable, Shares presented for deposit at any time,
whether or not the transfer books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are closed, shall also be accompanied by an agreement or assignment, or other instrument satisfactory to the Depositary, which will provide for the prompt
transfer to the Custodian of any dividend, or right to subscribe for additional Shares or to receive other property which any person in whose name the Shares are or have been recorded may thereafter receive upon or in respect of such deposited
Shares, or in lieu thereof, such agreement of indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary. 
  
 Upon each delivery to a Custodian of a certificate or certificates for Shares to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents above
specified, such Custodian shall, as soon as transfer and recordation can be accomplished, present such certificate or certificates to the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, for transfer and recordation of the Shares being deposited in
the name of the Depositary or its nominee or such Custodian or its nominee. 
  
 Deposited Securities shall be held by the Depositary or by a Custodian for the account and to the order of the Depositary or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine. 
  
 SECTION 2.03.         Delivery of
American Depositary Shares. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Custodian of
any deposit pursuant to Section 2.02, together with the other documents required under this Deposit Agreement above specified, the Custodian shall notify the Depositary of that deposit and the person or persons to whom or upon whose written
order American Depositary Shares are deliverable in respect thereof and the number of American Depositary Shares to be so 

  

 - 6 - 

 
delivered. Such notification shall be made by letter or, at the request, risk and expense of the person making the deposit, by cable, telex or facsimile
transmission (and in addition, if the transfer books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are open, the Depositary may in its sole discretion require a proper acknowledgment or other evidence from the Company that any Deposited
Securities have been recorded upon the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or such Custodian or its nominee). Upon receiving such notice from such Custodian, or upon the receipt
of Shares by the Depositary, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall deliver, to or upon the order of the person or persons entitled thereto, the number of American Depositary Shares issuable in respect
of that deposit, but only upon payment to the Depositary of the fees and expenses of the Depositary for the delivery of such American Depositary Shares as provided in Section 5.09, and of all taxes and governmental charges and fees payable in
connection with such deposit and the transfer of the Deposited Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.04.         Registration of Transfer of American Depositary Shares; Combination and Split-up of Receipts; Interchange of Certificated and Uncertificated American
Depositary Shares. 
  
 The Depositary, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall register transfers of American Depositary Shares on its transfer books from time to time, upon any surrender of American Depositary Shares, by the Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly
endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer or pursuant to a proper instruction, as the case may be, and duly stamped as may be required by the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America. Thereupon the Depositary
shall deliver the number of American Depositary Shares surrendered to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto. 
  
 The Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts for the purpose of effecting
a split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts for any authorized number of American Depositary Shares requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as the Receipt
or Receipts surrendered. 
  
 The Depositary, upon surrender of a
Receipt for the purpose of exchanging the certificated American Depositary Shares for uncertificated American Depositary Shares, shall cancel that Receipt and send the Owner a statement confirming that the Owner is the owner of the same number of
uncertificated American Depositary Shares. The Depositary, upon receipt of a proper instruction from the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares for the purpose of exchanging the uncertificated American Depositary Shares for certificated
American Depositary Shares, shall execute and deliver to the Owner a Receipt evidencing the same number of American Depositary Shares. 
  

 - 7 - 

 The Depositary may appoint one or more co-transfer agents for the purpose of effecting registrations of
transfers of American Depositary Shares and combinations and split-ups of Receipts at designated transfer offices on behalf of the Depositary. In carrying out its functions, a co-transfer agent may require evidence of authority and compliance with
applicable laws and other requirements by Owners or persons entitled to American Depositary Shares and will be entitled to protection and indemnity to the same extent as the Depositary. The Depositary shall require that each co-transfer agent it
appoints under this Section 2.04 give written notice to the Depositary accepting such appointment and agreeing to abide by the applicable terms of this Deposit Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 2.05.         Surrender of American Depositary Shares and Withdrawal of
Deposited Securities. 
  
 Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Depositary of American Depositary Shares for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Securities represented thereby, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares as provided in
Section 5.09 and payment of all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such surrender and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Company’s
estatutos sociales or similar document and applicable law and regulation, the Owner of those American Depositary Shares shall be entitled to delivery of the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by those American Depositary
Shares. That delivery shall be made, as hereinafter provided, without unreasonable delay. 
  
 The Depositary may require that a Receipt surrendered for the purpose of withdrawal of Deposited Securities is properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer in blank. The Depositary may
require the surrendering Owner to execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order directing the Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities being withdrawn to be delivered to or upon the written order of a person or persons designated in such
order in the manner provided in the preceding paragraph. Thereupon the Depositary shall direct the Custodian to deliver at the office of such Custodian, subject to Sections 2.06, 3.02 and 3.03 and to the other terms and conditions of this Deposit
Agreement, to or upon the written order of the person or persons designated in the order delivered to the Depositary as above provided, the amount of Deposited Securities represented by the surrendered American Depositary Shares, except that the
Depositary may make delivery to such person or persons at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of any dividends or distributions with respect to the Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares, or of any proceeds of
sale of any dividends, distributions or rights, which may at the time be held by the Depositary. 
  
 At the request, risk and expense of any Owner so surrendering American Depositary Shares, and for the account of such Owner, the Depositary shall direct
the 

  

 - 8 - 

 
Custodian to forward any cash or other property (other than rights) comprising, and forward a certificate or certificates, if applicable, and other proper
documents of title for, the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt to the Depositary for delivery at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary. Such direction shall be given by letter or, at
the request, risk and expense of such Owner, by cable, telex or facsimile transmission. 
  
 SECTION 2.06.         Limitations on Delivery, Transfer and Surrender of American Depositary Shares. 
  
 As a condition precedent to the delivery or registration of transfer of American Depositary Shares or split-up or
combination of any Receipt or surrender of any American Depositary Shares or withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, Custodian or Registrar may require payment from the depositor of Shares or the presenter of the Receipt or
instruction for registration of transfer or surrender of American Depositary Shares not evidenced by a Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect
thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as herein provided, may require the production of proof reasonably satisfactory to it as to the identity and
genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with any regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with any laws or governmental regulations in Spain or the United States and the provisions of this Deposit Agreement,
including, without limitation, this Section 2.06. 
  
 The
delivery of American Depositary Shares against deposit of Shares generally or against deposit of particular Shares may be suspended, or the transfer of American Depositary Shares in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of
transfer of outstanding American Depositary Shares generally may be suspended, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary, the Company or the Foreign Registrar are closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by
the Depositary or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason, subject to the
provisions of the following sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deposit Agreement, the surrender of outstanding American Depositary Shares and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may not be suspended subject only to
(i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends,
(ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the American Depositary Shares or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Securities or (iv) any
other reason that may at the time be specified in paragraph I(A)(1) of the General Instructions to Form F-6, as then in effect, or any successor provision thereto under the 

  

 - 9 - 

 
Securities Act of 1933. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under this Deposit Agreement any Shares
that would be required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 for the public offer and sale thereof in the United States unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Shares for such offer and sale. The
Depositary will comply with the reasonable written instructions of the Company that the Depositary will not accept for deposit any Shares reasonably identified in such instructions to facilitate the Company’s compliance with United States or
Spanish securities laws. 
  
 SECTION 2.07.
        Lost Receipts, etc. 
  
 In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt of like tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and in
substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt. Before the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt in substitution for a destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, the Owner thereof shall have (a) filed with the Depositary
(i) a request for such execution and delivery before the Depositary has notice that the Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser and (ii) a sufficient indemnity bond and (b) satisfied any other reasonable requirements
imposed by the Depositary. 
  
 SECTION 2.08.
        Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. 
  
 All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary shall be cancelled by the Depositary. The Depositary is authorized to destroy Receipts so cancelled, provided
the Depositary maintains a record of destroyed Receipts. The Depositary shall make the record of cancelled and destroyed Receipts available to the Company upon its reasonable written request. 
  
 SECTION 2.09.         Pre-Release of
American Depositary Shares. 
  
 Unless requested in writing by
the Company to cease doing so, the Depositary may, notwithstanding Section 2.03, deliver American Depositary Shares prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.02 (a “Pre-Release”). The Depositary may, pursuant to
Section 2.05, deliver Shares upon the surrender of American Depositary Shares that have been Pre-Released, whether or not such cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such American Depositary
Shares have been Pre-Released. The Depositary may receive American Depositary Shares in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release. Each Pre-Release will be (a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom
American Depositary Shares or Shares are to be delivered, that such person, or its customer, owns the Shares or American Depositary Shares to be remitted, as the case may be, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash or such other
collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days 

  

 - 10 - 

 
notice, and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The number of Shares represented by
American Depositary Shares which are outstanding at any time as a result of Pre-Release will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares deposited hereunder; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to
change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. 
  
 The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in connection with the foregoing. 
  
 SECTION 2.10.         Modified Rights Shares. 
  
 If any Shares are deposited under this Deposit Agreement the holders of which have rights that vary from the rights that
holders of the Shares first deposited under this Deposit Agreement have (including restrictions on transferability, regardless of the source of the restrictions), the following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (a) “Standard Rights Shares” mean Shares the holders of which have
the same rights with respect to those Shares as holders of the Shares first deposited under this Deposit Agreement have with respect to those Shares. “Modified Rights Shares” means Shares the holders of which have rights with respect to
those Shares that vary from the rights that holders of the Shares first deposited under this Deposit Agreement have with respect to those Shares. 
  
 (b) The Depositary shall direct the Custodian to hold Modified Rights Shares deposited under this Deposit Agreement in a segregated account different from
the account in which it holds Standard Rights Shares and any other Modified Rights Shares the holders of which have different rights with respect to those Shares than holders of those Modified Rights Shares have with respect to those Shares.
Modified rights Shares the holders of which have identical rights with respect to those Shares are referred to as a “class” of Modified Rights Shares. 
  

(c) Each class of Modified Rights Shares deposited under this Deposit Agreement will be represented by a class of American Depositary Shares
(“Modified Rights ADSs”) different from the American Depositary Shares representing Standard Rights Shares (“Standard Rights ADSs”) and any other class of Modified Rights Shares. Modified Rights ADSs of each class that are in
certificated form will be evidenced by a class of Receipts (“Modified Rights ADRs”) different from the Receipts evidencing Standard Rights ADSs (“Standard Rights ADRs”). Modified Rights ADRs will be marked to indicate that they
are Modified Rights ADRs and may bear a legend describing how the rights of holders of those Modified Rights ADRs or the underlying Modified Rights Shares vary from the rights of holders of Standard Rights Shares or Standard Rights ADRs (which may
be a transfer restriction legend). 
  

 - 11 - 

 (d) If Modified Rights Shares of any class become Standard Rights Shares, the Depositary shall cause the
Custodian to transfer former Modified Rights Shares of that class into the account in which other Standard Rights Shares are held, the class of Modified rights GDSs representing those Shares will automatically convert into Standard Rights GDSs and
the Depositary may take any action necessary or convenient to effect that conversion. At any time after that conversion, the Owner of any Modified Rights ADR of that class will be entitled to surrender that Modified Rights ADR to the Depositary and
receive a Standard Rights ADR evidencing the same number of American Depositary Shares. 
  
 (e) Owners of Standard Rights ADSs shall be entitled to rights under this Deposit Agreement only with respect to Standard Rights Shares. Owners of Modified Rights ADSs of each class shall be entitled to rights under
this Deposit Agreement only with respect to the class of Modified Rights Shares represented thereby. 
  
 (f) All other provisions of this Deposit Agreement apply to Modified Rights Shares and Modified Rights ADSs, subject to this Section 2.10.

  
 SECTION 2.11.
        DTC Direct Registration System and Profile Modification System 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.04, the parties acknowledge that the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) and Profile
Modification System (“Profile”) shall apply to uncertificated American Depositary Shares upon acceptance thereof to DRS by DTC. DRS is the system administered by DTC pursuant to which the Depositary may register the ownership of
uncertificated American Depositary Shares, which ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto. Profile is a required feature of DRS which allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on
behalf of the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares, to direct the Depositary to register a transfer of those American Depositary Shares to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those American Depositary Shares to the DTC account of that
DTC participant without receipt by the Depositary of prior authorization from the Owner to register such transfer. 
  
 (b) In connection with and in accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties understand that the Depositary will not
verify, determine or otherwise ascertain that the DTC participant which is claiming to be acting on behalf of an Owner in requesting registration of transfer and delivery described in subsection (a) has the actual authority to act on behalf of
the Owner. The Company and each Owner agree that the Depositary shall have no liability for relying upon the authority of and information in, nor for complying with directions from, a DTC participant as set forth above. The Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Depositary from and against any liability, expense, damage, loss and judgment arising from or related to the foregoing (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and expenses arising from or connected with the
enforcement of this provision). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the 

  

 - 12 - 

 
Depositary shall be fully protected by the foregoing limitation of liability and indemnification with respect to reliance upon and compliance with
instructions from the DTC participant even if the Depositary’s reliance on, and compliance with, such instructions is determined by a final, non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute negligence, willful
misconduct, breach of any duty owed by the Depositary to such Owner or violation of any law and (ii) the forgoing shall not apply to the manner in which the Depositary carries out actual transfer of the American Depositary Shares which are the
subject of the DTC participant’s instruction, which transfer shall continue to be governed by the other applicable terms of this Deposit Agreement. By way of example and not by way of limitation, if a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that the transfer of American Depositary Shares pursuant to a DTC participant’s instruction without obtaining prior authorization from the Owner constitutes negligence, the Depositary will nevertheless be protected under this
subsection (b); on the other hand, in carrying out such instructions, if the Depositary transfers American Depositary Shares from the wrong account or to the wrong DTC participant, the obligation to indemnify the Depositary shall be determined in
accordance with Sections 5.03 and 5.08. 
  
 ARTICLE 3. CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF
OWNERS AND HOLDERS OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES 
  
 SECTION
3.01.         Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. 
  
 Any person presenting Shares for deposit or any Owner or Holder may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary or the Custodian such proof
of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and
warranties, as the Depositary may deem necessary or proper or as the Company may reasonably require by written request to the Depositary. 
  
 The Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of transfer of American Depositary Shares or the distribution of any dividend or sale or
distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. The Depositary shall, upon
the Company’s reasonable written request, as promptly as practicable, provide to the Company copies of any such written proof or information that it receives, unless that disclosure is prohibited by applicable law. The Company may from time to
time require Owners to provide information as to the capacity in which such Owners hold American Depositary Shares and regarding the identify of any other persons then interested in such American Depositary Shares and the nature of such interest.
Each Owner agrees to provide any information reasonably requested by the Company or the Depositary pursuant to this Section 3.01. 
  

 - 13 - 

 SECTION 3.02.         Liability of Owner or Holder for Taxes.

  
 If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable
by the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to any American Depositary Shares or any Deposited Securities represented by any American Depositary Shares, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner or Holder of such
American Depositary Shares to the Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to register any transfer of those American Depositary Shares or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares until such payment is
made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner or Holder thereof any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares, and may apply such dividends or
other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge and the Owner or Holder of such American Depositary Shares shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
  
 SECTION 3.03.         Warranties on
Deposit of Shares. 
  
 Every person depositing Shares under this
Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the
person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do. Every such person shall also be deemed to represent that such Shares are not, and American Depositary Shares representing such Shares would not be, Restricted Securities. Such representations
and warranties shall survive the deposit of Shares and delivery of American Depositary Shares. If any such representations and warranties are false in any way, the Company and the Depositary shall be authorized, at the cost and expense of the person
depositing Shares, to take any and all actions necessary to correct the consequences thereof. 
  
 ARTICLE 4. THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 4.01.         Cash Distributions. 
  
 Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 4.05, convert, as promptly as practicable, such dividend or distribution into Dollars and shall distribute, as promptly as practicable, the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided
in Section 5.09) to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively; provided, however, that in the event that the Company or
the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash dividend or such other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owner of the American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited
Securities shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Owner a fraction 

  

 - 14 - 

 
of one cent. Any such fractional amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent and so distributed to Owners entitled thereto. The Company or its agent
will remit to the appropriate governmental agency in Spain all amounts withheld and owing to such agency. The Depositary will forward to the Company or its agent such information from its records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the
Company or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental agencies, and the Depositary or the Company or its agent may file any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under the applicable tax treaties for the Owners. 
  
 SECTION 4.02.         Distributions
Other Than Cash, Shares or Rights. 
  
 Subject to the provisions
of Sections 4.11 and 5.09, whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than a distribution described in Section 4.01, 4.03, 4.04 or 4.12, the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, after consultation with the
Company to the extent practicable, cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, after deduction or upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary or any taxes or other governmental
charges, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution;
provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that
the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in order to be distributed to Owners or Holders) the Depositary deems such
distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, such method as it may deem equitable, practicable and lawful for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not
limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09) shall be distributed by
the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01. The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under this Section 4.02 if it has not received
satisfactory assurances that the distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The Depositary may sell, by public of private sale, am amount of securities or other property it would otherwise distribute under this
Section 4.02 that is sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution. 
  
 SECTION 4.03.        Distributions in Shares. 
  
 If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary
may, and shall if the Company so requests in writing, deliver to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of 

  

 - 15 - 

 
American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing
the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and the issuance of American Depositary Shares, including the withholding of any
tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 and the payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 (and the Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of the Shares receives
sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution). The Depositary may withhold any such delivery of American Depositary Shares if it has not received satisfactory assurances that such distribution does not require registration
under the Securities Act of 1933. In lieu of delivering fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary shall sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, all in the
manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01. No distribution to Owners pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be unreasonably delayed by any action of the Depositary or any of its agents. If additional American Depositary
Shares are not so delivered, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby. 
  
 SECTION 4.04.         Rights. 
  
 In the event that the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the
holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after consultation with the Company, shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights
available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights
available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse. If at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines in its reasonable
discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, the Depositary may distribute to any Owner to whom it reasonably determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of
American Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other instruments therefor in such form as it deems appropriate. 
  
 In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to
exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of such Owner hereunder, the Depositary will as promptly as practicable make such rights available to such Owner upon written notice from the Company to the Depositary that (a) the
Company has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (b) such Owner has 

  

 - 16 - 

 
executed such documents as the Company has determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law. 
  
 If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to
all or certain Owners, then upon instruction from such an Owner pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to the Depositary for the account of such Owner of
an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary
shall, on behalf of such Owner, exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner. As agent for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares
so purchased to be deposited pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Deposit Agreement, deliver American Depositary Shares to such Owner; provided, however, that in the
case of a distribution pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section, such deposit shall be made, and depositary shares shall be delivered, under depositary arrangements which provide for issuance of depositary shares subject to the appropriate
restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and transfer under applicable United States laws. 
  
 If the Depositary determines in its reasonable discretion that it is not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion
to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as
provided in Section 5.09 and all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants
or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any American Depositary Shares or otherwise. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in the third preceding paragraph, the Depositary
will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the
provisions of such Act. Nothing in this Deposit Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of the Company to file a registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a registration
statement declared effective. If an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration under such Act, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution unless it has received
an opinion from recognized counsel in the United 

  

 - 17 - 

 
States for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Owner is exempt from such registration. 
  
 The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it
may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. 
  
 SECTION 4.05.         Conversion of Foreign Currency. 
  
 Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, by
way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from the sale of securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign currency so received can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a
reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United States, the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, convert or cause to be converted, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign currency
into Dollars, and such Dollars shall be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such warrants
or instruments upon surrender thereof for cancellation. Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any
American Depositary Shares or otherwise and shall be net of any expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09. 
  

If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall file
such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable. 
  
 If at any time the Depositary shall determine that in its judgment any foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United
States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for such conversion is denied or in the reasonable opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a
reasonable period as determined by the Depositary, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold
such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled to receive the same. 
  
 If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the
Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled thereto and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency 

  

 - 18 - 

 
received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled
thereto. 
  
 SECTION 4.06.
        Fixing of Record Date. 
  
 Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights shall be issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall
receive notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary
shall find it necessary or convenient, the Depositary shall fix a record date, which date shall be, to the extent practicable, the same as the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the Shares, (a) for the determination of the Owners
who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or (iii) responsible for
any fee or charges assessed by the Depositary pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, or (b) on or after which each American Depositary Share will represent the changed number of Shares. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.01 through 4.05
and to the other terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Owners on such record date shall be entitled, as the case may be, to receive the amount distributable by the Depositary with respect to such dividend or other distribution or such
rights or the net proceeds of sale thereof in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively, to give voting instructions or to act in respect of any other such matter. 
  
 SECTION 4.07.         Voting of
Deposited Securities. 
  
 Upon receipt from the Company of notice
of any meeting or solicitation of proxies or consents of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, if requested in writing by the Company or if the Depositary has received a constructive request as provided in Section
5.06, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be in the sole discretion of the Depositary, which shall contain (a) the information that is contained in the notice received by the Depositary
from the Company, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Spanish law and of the estatutos sociales or similar document of the
Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares, (c) a statement as to the manner
in which instructions may be given and (d) a statement that, if the Depositary does not receive instructions, it may deem instructions to have been given under the last sentence of this paragraph to give a discretionary proxy to a person
designated by the Company. Upon the written request of an Owner of American Depositary Shares on that record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for the purpose (the “Instruction Date”), the Depositary shall
endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or 

  

 - 19 - 

  

 - 20 - 

 
cause to be voted the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by that Receipt in accordance
with the instructions set forth in that request. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to Deposited Securities other than in accordance with instructions received from Owners or as provided in the
following sentence. If (i) the Company made a request to the Depositary as contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 4.07 and complied with the following paragraph of this Section 4.07 and (ii) no instructions are
received by the Depositary from an Owner with respect to an amount of Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares of that Owner on or before the date established by the Depositary for that purpose, the Depositary shall deem that
Owner to have instructed the Depositary to give, and the Depositary shall give, a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to that amount of Deposited Securities, except that such instruction shall not be deemed
to have been given and the Depositary shall not give a discretionary proxy with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide that information as promptly as practicable in writing, if
applicable) that (x) the Company does not wish to receive a discretionary proxy, (y) substantial opposition exists or (z) the matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Shares. 
  
 In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct the Depositary
as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if the Company will request the Depositary to act under the preceding paragraph, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of any such meeting or solicitation and details
concerning the matters to be voted upon not less than one month prior to the meeting date or date for giving such proxies or consents. 
  
 There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in particular will receive the notice described in the second preceding paragraph
sufficiently prior to the Instruction Date to ensure that the Depositary will vote the Deposited Securities in accordance with the provisions of that paragraph. 
  

SECTION 4.08.         Changes Affecting Deposited Securities. 
  
 In circumstances where the provisions of Section 4.03 and 4.12 do not
apply, upon any change in nominal value, change in par value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the
Company or to which it is a party, any securities which shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for or in conversion of or in respect of Deposited Securities, shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under this Deposit
Agreement, and American Depositary Shares shall thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities so received in exchange or conversion, unless additional Receipts are
delivered pursuant to the following sentence. In any such case the Depositary may deliver additional American Depositary Shares as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new
Receipts specifically describing such new Deposited Securities. 
  
 SECTION 4.09.         Reports. 
  
 The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Owners at its Corporate Trust Office any reports and communications, including any proxy soliciting material, received from the Company which are both
(a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b) made generally available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company. The Depositary shall also send to the Owners copies of such reports
furnished by the Company when requested by the Company in writing pursuant to Section 5.06. Any such reports and communications, including any such proxy soliciting material, furnished to the Depositary by the Company, or a summary thereof,
shall be furnished in English, to the extent such materials are required to be translated or summarized into English pursuant to any regulations of the Commission. 
  
 SECTION 4.10.         Lists of Owners 
  
 Promptly upon request by the Company, the Depositary shall, at the expense
of the Company, furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of American Depositary Shares by all persons in whose names American Depositary Shares are registered on the books of the Depositary. 
  
 SECTION 4.11.         Withholding.

  
 In the event that the Depositary determines that any
distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company to the extent
practical, by public or private sale, dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes or charges
and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners entitled thereto in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively. The Depositary will
forward to the Company or its agent such information from its records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies. The Depositary, the Custodian or the
Company or any of their agents may file such reports as are necessary to reduce or eliminate applicable taxes on dividends and other distributions in respect of Deposited Securities and to obtain other benefits under any applicable tax treaties for
the Owners. 
  

 - 21 - 

 SECTION 4.12.         Elective Distributions in Cash or Shares.

  
 If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of
a dividend payable at the election of holders in cash or in additional Shares, the Company shall give notice to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the proposed distribution stating whether or not it wishes such election to be made available to
Owners of American Depositary Shares. Upon receipt of notice indicating that the Company wishes such election to be made available to Owners of American Depositary Shares, the Depositary shall consult with the Company to determine, and the Company
shall assist the Depositary in its determination, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such election available to the Owners of American Depositary Shares. The Depositary shall make such election available to Owners only if
(i) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is reasonably practicable and (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.07. If the above conditions are not
satisfied, the Depositary shall not make any election with respect to the Deposited Securities and, accordingly, will receive the distribution that is made in Spain in respect of the Shares for which no election is made. If the above conditions are
satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an American Depositary Shares record date (on the terms set forth in Section 4.06) and establish procedures to enable Owners to elect the receipt of the proposed dividend in cash or additional American
Depositary Shares. The Company shall assist the Depositary in establishing such procedures to the extent necessary. If an Owner elects to receive the proposed dividend (X) in cash, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms set forth in
Section 4.01, or (Y) in American Depositary Shares, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms set forth in Section 4.03. There can be no assurance that Owners generally, or any Owner in particular, will be given the opportunity
to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Shares. 
  
 ARTICLE 5. THE DEPOSITARY, THE CUSTODIANS AND THE COMPANY 
  
 SECTION 5.01.         Maintenance of Office and Transfer Books by the Depositary. 
  
 Until termination of this Deposit Agreement in accordance with its terms,
the Depositary shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, facilities for the execution and delivery, registration, registration of transfers and surrender of American Depositary Shares in accordance with the provisions of this
Deposit Agreement. 
  
 The Depositary shall keep books, at its
Corporate Trust Office, for the registration of American Depositary Shares and transfers of American Depositary Shares which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners, provided that such inspection shall not be for the
purpose of communicating with Owners in the interest of a business or object other than the business of the Company or a matter related to this Deposit Agreement or the American Depositary Shares. 
  

 - 22 - 

 The Company shall have the right at all reasonable times to (i) inspect transfer and registration
records of the Depositary or its agent and take copies thereof and (ii) require the Depositary or its agent, the Registrar and any co-transfer agents or co-registrars to supply promptly copies of such portions of such records as the Company may
reasonably requests. 
  
 The Depositary may, with notice to the
Company if other than in the ordinary course of business, close the transfer books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or at the reasonable written request of the
Company or if the suspension of the registration of transfer is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any governmental body or commission, or for any
other reason. 
  
 If any American Depositary Shares are listed on
one or more stock exchanges in the United States, the Depositary shall act as Registrar or, upon at least 20 days’ prior written notice to the Company, appoint a Registrar or one or more co-registrars to register those American Depositary
Shares in accordance with any requirements of such exchange or exchanges. 
  
 SECTION 5.02.         Prevention or Delay in Performance by the Depositary or the Company. 
  
 Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur
any liability to any Owner or Holder if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any
provision, present or future, of the estatutos sociales or similar document of the Company, or by reason of any provision of any securities issued or distributed by the Company, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act
of God or war or terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the Company, or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from doing or performing, or may be
subject to any civil or criminal penalty if it did or performed and therefore does not do or perform, any act or thing that this Deposit Agreement or the terms of the Deposited Securities provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary
or the Company or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or Holder by reason of any nonperformance or delay in the doing or performance of any act or thing that this Deposit Agreement
provides may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 or 4.12, or an
offering or distribution pursuant to Section 4.04, or for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners, and the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of such Owners and make
the net 

  

 - 23 - 

 
proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse.

  
 SECTION 5.03.
        Obligations of the Depositary, the Custodian and the Company. 
  
 The Company and its agents assume no obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to Owners or Holders, except that
the Company agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. 
  
 The Depositary and its agents assume no obligation and shall not be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Owner or Holder
(including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that the Depositary agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad
faith. 
  
 Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their
respective agents shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the American Depositary Shares on behalf of any Owner, Holder or other
person, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary. 
  
 Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective agents shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it
in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or Holder or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information.

  
 The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions
made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out
of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary. 
  
 Neither the Company nor the Depositary shall be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for
the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or nonaction is in good faith. 
  
 No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of this Deposit Agreement. 
  

 - 24 - 

 SECTION 5.04.         Resignation and Removal of the Depositary.

  
 The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary by
written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. 
  
 The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by 60 days’
prior written notice of such removal, to become effective upon the later of (i) the 60th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary or (ii) the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as
hereinafter provided. 
  
 In case at any time the Depositary
acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Every
successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor, nevertheless, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company shall promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall promptly and duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Deposited Securities to such successor, shall promptly deliver to such successor a list of
the Owners of all outstanding American Depositary Shares. Any such successor depositary shall mail notice of its appointment to the Owners as promptly as practicable. 
  
 Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged or consolidated shall be the successor of the Depositary
without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. 
  
 SECTION 5.05.         The Custodian. 
  
 The Custodian shall be subject at all times and in all respects to the directions of the Depositary and shall be responsible solely to it. Any Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder by notice
of such resignation delivered to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the date on which such resignation is to become effective. If upon the effectiveness of such resignation there would be no Custodian acting hereunder, the Depositary,
after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, shall, as promptly as practicable after receiving such notice, appoint a substitute custodian or custodians, each of which shall thereafter be a Custodian. Whenever the Depositary in its
discretion determines that it is in the best interest of the Owners to do so, it may appoint a substitute or additional custodian or custodians, each of which shall thereafter be a Custodian. Upon demand of the Depositary any Custodian 

  

 - 25 - 

 
shall deliver such of the Deposited Securities held by it as are requested of it to any other Custodian or such substitute or additional custodian or
custodians. 
  
 Upon the appointment of any successor depositary
hereunder, each Custodian then acting hereunder shall forthwith become, without any further act or writing, the agent hereunder of such successor depositary and the appointment of such successor depositary shall in no way impair the authority of
each Custodian hereunder; but the successor depositary so appointed shall, nevertheless, on the written request of any Custodian, execute and deliver to such Custodian all such instruments as may be proper to give to such Custodian full and complete
power and authority as agent hereunder of such successor depositary. 
  
 SECTION 5.06.         Notices and Reports. 
  
 On or before the first date on which the Company gives notice, by publication or otherwise, of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or of any adjourned meeting of such holders, or of the
taking of any action in respect of any cash or other distributions or the offering of any rights, the Company agrees to transmit to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy of the notice thereof in English but otherwise in the form given or to be
given to holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities. 
  
 The
Company will arrange for the translation into English, if not already in English, to the extent required pursuant to any regulations of the Commission, and the prompt transmittal by the Company to the Depositary and the Custodian of such notices and
any other reports and communications which are made generally available by the Company to holders of its Shares. If requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary will arrange for the mailing, as promptly as practicable and at the
Company’s expense, of copies of such notices, reports and communications to all Owners. The Company will timely provide the Depositary with the quantity of such notices, reports, and communications, as requested by the Depositary from time to
time, in order for the Depositary to effect such mailings. 
  
 If the Depositary receives from the Company, at its Corporate Trust Office, within the time specified in the second paragraph of Section 4.07, a written notice in English from the Company of any meeting or solicitation of proxies or
consents of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities that reasonably appears to be in a form suitable to be sent to Owners under Section 4.07 or otherwise reasonably suggests a willingness of the Company to cooperate with the Depositary to
produce a form of notice suitable for that purpose, the Depositary shall (i) construe its receipt of such notice as a request by the Company to act under the first sentence of Section 4.07 and (ii) collaborate with the Company in good faith to
provide reasonable assistance to the Company in fulfilling its obligations under this Deposit Agreement so that a notice may be mailed by the Depositary to the Owners as soon as practicable under Section 4.07. 
  
 The Company has delivered to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy (in
English or with an English translation) of all provisions of or governing the Shares and any other Deposited Securities. Promptly upon any change in such provisions, the Company shall deliver promptly to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy (in
English or with an English translation) of such provisions as so changed. The Depositary and its agents may rely on the copy of such provisions as so delivered for all purposes of this Deposit Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 5.07.         Distribution of
Additional Shares, Rights, etc. 
  
 If the Company or any
affiliate of the Company determines to make any issuance or distribution of (1) additional Shares, (2) rights to subscribe for Shares, 

  

 - 26 - 

 
(3) securities convertible into Shares, or (4) rights to subscribe for such securities (each a “Distribution”), the Company shall notify
the Depositary in writing in English as promptly as practicable and in any event before the Distribution starts and, if requested in writing by the Depositary, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Depositary a written opinion from U.S. counsel
for the Company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, stating whether or not the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If, in the opinion of that counsel,
the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, that counsel shall furnish to the Depositary a written opinion as to whether or not there is a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933 in effect that will cover that Distribution. 
  
 The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company will at any time deposit any Shares, either originally issued or previously issued and
reacquired by the Company or any such affiliate, unless a Registration Statement is in effect as to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Company furnishes the Depositary with an opinion of U.S. counsel for the Company that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary to the effect that upon deposit, the Shares will be eligible for public resale in the United States without further registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933. Notwithstanding anything else
contained in this Deposit Agreement, nothing in this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed to obligate the Company to file any registration statement in respect of any proposed transaction. 
  
 SECTION 5.08.         Indemnification. 
  
 The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, its directors, employees,
agents and affiliates and any Custodian against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability or expense (including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of or in connection with (a) any registration
with the Commission of American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or the offer or sale thereof in the United States or (b) acts performed or omitted, pursuant to the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and of the Receipts, as the same
may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, (i) by either the Depositary or a Custodian or their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates, except for any liability or expense arising out of the negligence or bad
faith of either of them, or (ii) by the Company or any of its directors, employees, agents and affiliates. 
  
 The Depositary agrees to indemnify the Company, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates and hold them harmless from any liability or expense which
may arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Depositary or its Custodian or their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates due to their negligence or bad faith. 
  

 - 27 - 

 If an action, proceeding (including, but not limited to, any governmental investigation), claim or
dispute (collectively, a “Proceeding”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought by either party is brought or asserted against the other party, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly (and in no
event more than ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such Proceeding) notify the party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnitor”) of such Proceeding. The failure of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor
shall not impair the Indemnitee’s ability to seek indemnification from the Indemnitor (but only for costs, expenses and liabilities incurred after such notice) unless such failure adversely affects the Indemnitor’s ability to adequately
oppose or defend such Proceeding. Upon receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it shall so desire and provided no conflict of interest exists as specified
in subparagraph (b) below or there are no other defenses available to Indemnitee as specified in subparagraph (d) below, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (in which case all
attorney’s fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall in good faith defend the Indemnitee). The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee unless (a) the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (b) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably and in good faith concluded that there
is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, (c) the Indemnitor fails, within ten (10) days prior to the date the first response or appearance is required to be made in
such Proceeding, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or (d) there are legal defenses available to Indemnitee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the
Indemnitor. No compromise or settlement of such Proceeding may be effected by either party without the other party’s consent unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law and no effect on any other claims that may be
made against such other party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the party seeking the settlement. Neither party shall have any liability with respect to any compromise or settlement effected without
its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from any loss, expense or liability incurred by the Indemnitee as a result of a default judgment entered
against the Indemnitee unless such judgment was entered after the Indemnitor agreed, in writing, to assume the defense of such Proceeding. 
  
 SECTION 5.09.         Charges of Depositary. 
  
 The Company agrees to pay the fees, reasonable expenses and out-of-pocket charges of the Depositary and those of any
Registrar only in accordance with agreements in writing entered into between the Depositary and the Company from time to time. The Depositary shall present its statement for such charges and expenses, if any, to 

  

 - 28 - 

 
the Company once every three months. The charges and expenses of the Custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary. 
  
 The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or
withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering American Depositary Shares or to whom American Depositary Shares are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company or an exchange
of stock regarding the American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or a delivery of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 4.03 or 4.12) or by Owners, as applicable: (1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such
registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares generally on the Share register of the Company or Foreign Registrar and applicable to transfers of Shares to the name of the Depositary or its
nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals hereunder, (3) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission expenses as are expressly provided in this Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by
the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to Section 4.05, (5) a fee of $5.00 or less per 100 American Depositary Shares (or portion thereof) for the delivery of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 2.03,
4.03, 4.04 or 4.12 and the surrender of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 2.05 or 6.02, (6) to the extent not prohibited by the rules of any securities exchange on which the American Depositary Shares are listed for trading, a
fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution made pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, including, but not limited to Sections 4.01 through 4.04, (7) a fee for the distribution of securities
pursuant to Section 4.02, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of American Depositary Shares referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of
this clause 7 treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners and (8) any other charges payable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s agents, including
the Custodian, or the agents of the Depositary’s agents in connection with the servicing of Shares or other Deposited Securities (which charge shall be assessed against Owners as of the date or dates set by the Depositary in accordance with
Section 4.06 and shall be collected at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Owners for such charge or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions). 
  
 The Depositary, subject to Section 2.09, may own and deal in any class
of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in American Depositary Shares. 
  
 SECTION 5.10.         Retention of Depositary Documents. 
  
 The Depositary is authorized to destroy those documents, records, bills and other data compiled during the term of this Deposit Agreement at the times
permitted by the laws or regulations governing the Depositary unless the Company reasonably 

  

 - 29 - 

 
requests that such papers be retained for a longer period or turned over to the Company or to a successor depositary. 
  
 SECTION 5.11.         Exclusivity.

  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 5.04, the Company
agrees not to appoint any other depositary for issuance of American or global depositary shares or receipts so long as The Bank of New York is acting as Depositary hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 5.12.         List of Restricted Securities Owners. 
  
 The Company shall provide to the Depositary a list setting forth, to the
actual knowledge of the Company, those persons or entities that beneficially own Restricted Securities as of the date hereof and the Company shall update that list on a regular basis. The Company agrees to advise in writing each of the persons or
entities so listed that such Restricted Securities, so long as they remain such, are ineligible for deposit under this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may rely on the list provided under this Section 5.12, as most recently updated, but shall
not be liable for any action or omission made in reliance thereon. 
  
 ARTICLE
6. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  
 SECTION 6.01.
        Amendment. 
  
 The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary without the consent of Owners or Holders in any respect which they
may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such
expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding American Depositary Shares until the expiration of 30 days after notice of such amendment shall have been
given to the Owners of outstanding American Depositary Shares. Every Owner and Holder, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such American Depositary Shares or any interest therein, to consent and
agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner to surrender American Depositary Shares and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented
thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. 
  
 SECTION 6.02.         Termination. 
  
 The Depositary shall, at any time at the direction of the Company, terminate this Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of termination to the Owners of all

  

 - 30 - 

 
American Depositary Shares then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. The Depositary may likewise
terminate this Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of termination to the Company and the Owners of all American Depositary Shares then outstanding if at least 60 days have passed since the Depositary delivered to the Company a written notice of its
election to resign and a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in Section 5.04. On and after the date of termination, the Owner of American Depositary Shares will, upon (a) surrender of such
American Depositary Shares, (b) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares referred to in Section 2.05, and (c) payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to
delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares. If any American Depositary Shares shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall
discontinue the registration of transfers of American Depositary Shares, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except that
the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Securities, shall sell rights and other property as provided in this Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, together
with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, upon surrender of American Depositary Shares (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the
surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges).

  
 At any time after the expiration of six months from the date
of termination, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities then held hereunder and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it hereunder, unsegregated and without liability for
interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of American Depositary Shares that have not theretofore been surrendered, such Owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale,
the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares,
any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement,
the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary under Sections 2.11, 5.08 and 5.09.

 representing deposited ordinary shares (herein called
Shares) of Gas Natural SDG, S.A., a company (sociedad anónima) incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (herein called the Company). At the date hereof, each American Depositary Share represents one Share deposited or

	1.	THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT. 

  
 This American Depositary Receipt is one of an issue (herein called Receipts), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Deposit Agreement dated as of                                 , 2006, as the same
may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms (the “Deposit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Depositary and all Owners and Holders of American Depositary Shares issued thereunder, each of whom by accepting
American Depositary Shares or any interest therein agrees to become a party thereto and become bound by all the terms and conditions thereof. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the rights and duties of Owners and Holders and the rights and duties of
the Depositary in respect of the Shares deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in respect of such Shares and held thereunder (such Shares, securities, property, and cash are herein called
Deposited Securities). Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Depositary’s Corporate Trust Office in New York City and at the office of the Custodian. 
  
 The statements made on the face and reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and
are qualified by and subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement, to which reference is hereby made. Capitalized terms defined in the Deposit Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Deposit
Agreement. 
  

	2.	SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL OF SHARES. 

  
 Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of American Depositary Shares, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary provided in
this Receipt, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the Company’s estatutos sociales or similar document and applicable law and regulation, the Owner of those American Depositary Shares is entitled to delivery
of the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by those American Depositary Shares. Such delivery will be made at the option of the Owner hereof, either at the office of the Custodian or at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Depositary. 
  

	3.	TRANSFERS, SPLIT-UPS, AND COMBINATIONS OF RECEIPTS. 

  
 Transfers of American Depositary Shares may be registered on the books of the Depositary by the Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of those American Depositary Shares properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer (in the case of a Receipt) or pursuant to a proper instruction (in the case of uncertificated American Depositary Shares)
and funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer taxes and the expenses of the Depositary and upon compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary may establish for such purpose. This Receipt may be split into other such Receipts, or
may be combined with other such Receipts into one Receipt, evidencing the same aggregate number of 

  

 A-2 

 
American Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. The Depositary, upon surrender of a Receipt for the purpose of exchanging the certificated
American Depositary Shares for uncertificated American Depositary Shares, shall cancel that Receipt and send the Owner a statement confirming that the Owner is the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares. The Depositary, upon receipt of a
proper instruction from the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares for the purpose of exchanging uncertificated American Depositary Shares for certificated American Depositary Shares, shall execute and deliver to the Owner a Receipt
evidencing those American Depositary Shares. As a condition precedent to the delivery or registration of transfer of American Depositary Shares or split-up or combination of any Receipt or surrender of any American Depositary Shares or withdrawal of
any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, the Custodian, or Registrar may require payment from the depositor of the Shares or the presenter of the Receipt or instruction for registration of transfer or surrender of American Depositary Shares not
evidenced by a Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being deposited or
withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as provided in the Deposit Agreement, may require the production of proof reasonably satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with any
regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. 
  
 The delivery of American Depositary Shares against deposit of Shares generally or against deposit of particular Shares may be suspended, or the transfer
of American Depositary Shares in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer of outstanding American Depositary Shares generally may be suspended, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or if
any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of the Deposit
Agreement, or for any other reason, subject to the provisions of the following sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt, the surrender of outstanding Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited Securities
may not be suspended subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’
meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the American Depositary Shares or to the withdrawal of the
Deposited Securities or (iv) any other reason that may at the time be specified in paragraph I(A)(1) of the General Instructions to Form F-6, as then in effect, or any successor provision thereto under the Securities Act of 1933. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Shares that would be required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 for the public offer and sale
thereof in the United States unless a 

  

 A-3 

 
registration statement is in effect as to such Shares for such offer and sale. The Depositary will comply with the reasonable written instructions of the
Company that the Depositary will not accept for deposit any Shares reasonably identified in such instructions to facilitate the Company’s compliance with United States or Spanish securities laws. 
  

	4.	LIABILITY OF OWNER OR HOLDER FOR TAXES. 

  
 If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable with respect to any American Depositary Shares or any Deposited Securities represented by any
American Depositary Shares, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner or Holder of such American Depositary Shares to the Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to register any transfer of those American Depositary Shares or
any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner or Holder hereof any part or all of
the Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares, and may apply such dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge and the Owner or Holder of those
American Depositary Shares shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
  

	5.	WARRANTIES ON DEPOSIT OF SHARES. 

  
 Every person depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares are validly issued, fully
paid, non-assessable, and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do. Every such person shall also be deemed to represent
that such Shares are not, and American Depositary Shares representing such Shares would not be, Restricted Securities. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Shares and delivery of American Depositary Shares. If any such
representations and warranties are false in any way, the Company and the Depositary shall be authorized, at the cost and expense of the person depositing Shares, to take any and all actions necessary to correct the consequences thereof. 

 

	6.	FILING PROOFS, CERTIFICATES, AND OTHER INFORMATION. 

  
 Any person presenting Shares for deposit or any Owner or Holder may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary or the Custodian such proof
of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and
warranties, as the Depositary may deem necessary or proper or as the Company may reasonably require by written request to the Depositary. 
  

 A-4 

 The Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of transfer of American Depositary Shares or the
distribution of any dividend or sale or distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and
warranties made. The Depositary shall, upon the Company’s reasonable written request, as promptly as practicable, provide to the Company copies of any such written proof or information that it receives, unless that disclosure is prohibited by
applicable law. The Company may from time to time request Owners to provide information as to the capacity in which such Owners hold American Depositary Shares and regarding the identity of any other persons then interested in such Receipts and the
nature of such interest. Each Owner agrees to provide any information reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Depositary pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Deposit Agreement. 
  

	7.	CHARGES OF DEPOSITARY. 

  
 The Company agrees to pay the fees, reasonable expenses and out-of-pocket charges of the Depositary and those of any Registrar only in accordance with
agreements in writing entered into between the Depositary and the Company from time to time. The Depositary shall present its statement for such charges and expenses, if any, to the Company once every three months. The charges and expenses of the
Custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary. 
  
 The
following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering American Depositary Shares or to whom American Depositary Shares are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock
dividend or stock split declared by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or a distribution of Receipts pursuant to Section 4.03 or 4.12 of the Deposit Agreement), or by Owners, as
applicable: (1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares generally on the Share register of the Company or Foreign Registrar and
applicable to transfers of Shares to the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, (3) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission
expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Deposit Agreement, (5) a fee of $5.00 or less per
100 American Depositary Shares (or portion thereof) for the delivery of American Depositary Shares pursuant to Section 2.03, 4.03, 4.04 or 4.12 of the Deposit Agreement and the surrender of American Depositary Shares pursuant to
Section 2.05 or 6.02 of the Deposit Agreement, (6) to the extent not prohibited by the rules of any securities exchange on which the American Depositary Shares are listed for trading, a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or
portion thereof) for any cash distribution made pursuant to Sections 4.01 through 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, (7) a 

  

 A-5 

 
fee for the distribution of securities pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution
and delivery of American Depositary Shares referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this clause 7 treating all such securities as if they were Shares), but which securities
are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners, and (8) any other charges payable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s agents, including the Custodian, or the agents of the Depositary’s agents in connection with the
servicing of Shares or other Deposited Securities (which charge shall be assessed against Owners as of the date or dates set by the Depositary in accordance with Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement and shall be collected at the sole
discretion of the Depositary by billing such Owners for such charge or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions). 
  
 The Depositary, subject to Section 2.09 of the Deposit Agreement, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and
in American Depositary Shares. 
  

	8.	PRE-RELEASE OF RECEIPTS. 

  
 Unless, requested in writing by the Company to cease doing so, the Depositary may, notwithstanding Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver
American Depositary Shares prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement (a “Pre-Release”). The Depositary may, pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver Shares upon the
surrender of American Depositary Shares that have been Pre-Released, whether or not such cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such American Depositary Shares have been Pre-Released. The Depositary
may receive American Depositary Shares in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release. Each Pre-Release will be (a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom American Depositary Shares or Shares are to be
delivered that such person, or its customer, owns the Shares or American Depositary Shares to be remitted, as the case may be, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate,
(c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice, and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The number of Shares represented by American
Depositary Shares which are outstanding at any time as a result of Pre-Releases will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares deposited under the Deposit Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the
right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. 
  
 The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in connection with the foregoing. 
  

 A-6 

	9.	TITLE TO RECEIPTS. 

  
 It is a condition of this Receipt and every successive Owner and Holder of this Receipt by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees, that title
to this Receipt when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument under the laws of New York; provided, however, that the
Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name this Receipt is registered on the books of the Depositary as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution of
dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Deposit Agreement or for all other purposes. 
  

	10.	VALIDITY OF RECEIPT. 

  
 This Receipt shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless this Receipt shall have
been executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary, except that the Depositary’s signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the American Depositary Shares shall have
been appointed and the Receipt is countersigned by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. 
  

	11.	REPORTS; INSPECTION OF TRANSFER BOOKS. 

  
 The Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, accordingly, files certain reports with the
Commission. Such reports will be available for inspection and copying by Owners and Holders at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. 
  
 The Depositary will make available for inspection by Owners at its Corporate
Trust Office any reports and communications, including any proxy soliciting material, received from the Company which are both (a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b) made generally available to the
holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company. The Depositary will also send to Owners copies of such reports furnished by the Company when requested in writing by the Company pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. Any such reports and
communications, including any such proxy soliciting material, furnished to the Depositary by the Company, or a summary thereof, shall be furnished in English to the extent such materials are required to be translated or summarized into English
pursuant to any regulations of the Commission. 
  
 The Depositary
will keep books, at its Corporate Trust Office, for the registration of American Depositary Shares and transfers of American Depositary Shares which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners provided that such inspection
shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners in the interest 

  

 A-7 

 
of a business or object other than the business of the Company or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the American Depositary Shares. 
  

	12.	DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. 

  
 Whenever the Depositary receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary will, if at the time of receipt
thereof any amounts received in a foreign currency can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into United States dollars transferable to the United States, and subject to the Deposit Agreement, convert, as promptly as
practicable, such dividend or distribution into Dollars and will distribute, as promptly as practicable, the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement) to the
Owners entitled thereto; provided, however, that in the event that the Company or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an
amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owners of the American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.11 and 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement, whenever the Depositary receives any
distribution other than a distribution described in Section 4.01, 4.03, 4.04 or 4.12 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will, as promptly as practicable, after consultation with the company to the extent practicable, cause the securities
or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion
of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto, or if for any other reason the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, after consultation with the
company to the extent practicable, adopt such method as it may deem equitable, practicable and lawful for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus
received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement) will be distributed by the Depositary to the Owners of Receipts entitled
thereto all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement if it has not received
satisfactory assurances that the distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The Depositary may sell, by public of private sale, am amount of securities or other property it would otherwise distribute under
Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement that is sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution. 
  

 A-8 

 If any distribution consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, and
shall if the company so request in writing deliver to the Owners entitled thereto an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution subject to the terms and conditions
of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and the issuance of American Depositary Shares, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement and the
payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement (and the Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of the Shares receives sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect
of that distribution). The Depositary may withhold any such delivery of American Depositary Shares if it has not received satisfactory assurances that such distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933. In lieu of
delivering fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary will sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions
described in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement. If additional American Depositary Shares are not so delivered, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities
represented thereby. 
  
 If any distribution upon any Deposited
Securities consists of a dividend payable at the election of holders in cash or in additional Shares, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the proposed distribution stating whether or not it wishes such
election to be made available to Owners of American Depositary Shares. Upon receipt of notice indicating that the Company wishes such election to be made available to Owners of American Depositary Shares, the Depositary shall consult with the
Company to determine, and the Company shall assist the Depositary in its determination, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such election available to the Owners of American Depositary Shares. The Depositary shall make such
election available to Owners only if (i) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is reasonably practicable and (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.07 of
the Deposit Agreement. If the above conditions are not satisfied, the Depositary shall not make any election with respect to the Deposited Securities and, accordingly, will receive the form of distribution as is made in Spain in respect of the
Shares for which no election is made. If the above conditions are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an American Depositary Shares record date (on the terms set forth in Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement) and establish procedures to
enable Owners to elect the receipt of the proposed dividend in cash or in additional American Depositary Shares. The Company shall assist the Depositary in establishing such procedures to the extent necessary. If an Owner elects to receive the
proposed dividend (X) in cash, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms set forth in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement, of (Y) in American Depositary Shares, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms set forth in
Section 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement. There can be no assurance that Owners 

  

 A-9 

 
generally, or any Owner in particular, will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of
Shares. 
  
 In the event that the Depositary determines that any
distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may, after consultation with the company to the extent
practical, by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or
charges, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto. The Depositary will forward to the Company or its agent such information from its
records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies. The Depositary, the Custodian or the Company or any of their agents may file such reports as are
necessary to reduce or eliminate applicable taxes on dividends and other distributions in respect of Deposited Securities and to obtain other benefits under any applicable tax treaties for the Owners. 
  

	13.	RIGHTS. 

  
 In the event that the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Shares
or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary shall, after consultation with the company, have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any Owners and
making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds
available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse. If at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines in its reasonable discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or
certain Owners, the Depositary may distribute to any Owner to whom it reasonable determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other instruments
therefor in such form as it deems appropriate. 
  
 In
circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of such Owner hereunder, the
Depositary will as promptly as practicable make such rights available to such Owner upon written notice from the Company to the Depositary that (a) the Company has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and
(b) such Owner has executed such documents as the Company has determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law. 
  

 A-10 

 If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain Owners, then
upon instruction from such an Owner pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to the Depositary for the account of such Owner of an amount equal to the
purchase price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of
such Owner, exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner. As agent for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares so purchased to be
deposited pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver American Depositary Shares to such Owner; provided, however, that in the case of a
distribution pursuant to the preceding paragraph, such deposit shall be made, and depositary shares shall be delivered, under depositary arrangements which provide for issuance of depositary shares subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale,
deposit, cancellation, and transfer under applicable United States laws. 
  
 If the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the
number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in
Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement and all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such
rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any American Depositary Shares or otherwise.

  
 Except as otherwise provided in the third preceding paragraph,
the Depositary will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered
under the provisions of such Act. Nothing in the Deposit Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of the Company to file a registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a
registration statement declared effective. If an Owner requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration under such Act, the Depositary shall not effect such distribution unless it
has received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Owner is exempt from such registration. 
  

 A-11 

 The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to
make such rights available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. 
  

	14.	CONVERSION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY. 

  
 Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from the sale of
securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign currency so received can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United
States, the Depositary shall convert or cause to be converted, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign currency into Dollars, and such Dollars shall be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall
have distributed any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such warrants or instruments upon surrender thereof for cancellation. Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or
other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise and shall be net of any expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by the Depositary as
provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement. 
  
 If
such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall file such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable. 
  
 If at any time the Depositary shall determine that in its judgment any
foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for such
conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Depositary, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an
appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the
Owners entitled to receive the same. 
  
 If any such conversion of
foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled
thereto and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto. 
  

 A-12 

	15.	RECORD DATES. 

  
 Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights shall be
issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares
that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient, the Depositary shall fix a record date, which date shall be, to the extent practicable, the same as the record date fixed by
the Company with respect to the Shares, (a) for the determination of the Owners of Receipts who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, (ii) entitled to give
instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or (iii) responsible for any fees or charges assessed by the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, or (b) on or after which each American Depositary Share will
represent the changed number of Shares, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. 
  

	16.	VOTING OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES. 

  
 Upon receipt from the Company of notice of any meeting or solicitation of proxies or consents of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, the
Depositary shall, if requested in writing by the Company or if the Depositary has received a constructive request as provided in Section 5.06, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be in the
sole discretion of the Depositary, which shall contain (a) the information that is contained in the notice received by the Depositary from the Company, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a specified record date
will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Spanish law and of the estatutos sociales or similar document of the Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of
Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares, (c) a statement as to the manner in which instructions may be given and (d) a statement that, if the Depositary does not receive instructions,
it may deem instructions to have been given under the last sentence of this paragraph to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company. Upon the written request of an Owner of American Depositary Shares on that record date,
received on or before the date established by the Depositary for the purpose (the “Instruction Date”), the Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities
represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by that Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in that request. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to Deposited Securities other
than in accordance with instructions received from Owners or as provided in the following sentence. If (i) the Company made a request to the Depositary as contemplated by the first sentence of Section 4.07 of the Deposited Agreement and
complied with the third paragraph of Section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement and (ii) no instructions are received by the 

  

 A-13 

 
Depositary from an Owner with respect to an amount of Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares of that Owner on or before the date
established by the Depositary for that purpose, the Depositary shall deem that Owner to have instructed the Depositary to give, and the Depositary shall give, a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to that amount of
Deposited Securities, except that that such instruction shall not be deemed to have been given and the Depositary shall not give a discretionary proxy with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company
agrees to provide that information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) the Company does not wish to receive a discretionary proxy, (y) substantial opposition exists or (z) the matter materially and adversely
affects the rights of holders of Shares. 
  
 In order to give
Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if the Company will request the Depositary to act under the preceding paragraph, the Company shall give the Depositary
notice of any such meeting or solicitation and details concerning the matters to be voted upon not less than one month prior to the meeting date or date for giving such proxies or consents. 
  
 There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in particular
will receive the notice described in the second preceding paragraph sufficiently prior to the Instruction Date to ensure that the Depositary will vote the Deposited Securities in accordance with the provisions of that paragraph. 
  

	17.	CHANGES AFFECTING DEPOSITED SECURITIES. 

  
 In circumstances where the provisions of Section 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement do not apply, upon any change in nominal value, change in par value,
split-up, consolidation, or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, any securities which shall be
received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for or in conversion of or in respect of Deposited Securities shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares shall thenceforth represent,
in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities so received in exchange or conversion, unless additional Receipts are delivered pursuant to the following sentence. In any such case the Depositary
may and deliver additional American Depositary Shares as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new Deposited Securities. 
  

	18.	LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY AND DEPOSITARY. 

  
 Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any Owner or
Holder 

  

 A-14 

 
if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any other country, or of any other governmental or
regulatory authority, or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the estatutos sociales or similar document of the Company, or by reason of any provision of any securities issued or distributed by the Company, or any offering or
distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the Company, or any of their respective directors, employees agents or affiliates shall be prevented, delayed or
forbidden from doing or performing, or may be subject to any civil or criminal penalty if it did or performed and therefore does not do or perform, any act or thing that the Deposit Agreement or Deposited Securities provide shall be done or
performed; nor shall the Depositary or the Company or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or Holder of a Receipt by reason of any non-performance or delay in the doing or performance of
any act or thing which the Deposit Agreement provides may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to
Section 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 or 4.12 of the Deposit Agreement, or an offering or distribution pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners, and
the Depositary may not dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of such Owners and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable,
to lapse. Neither the Company nor the Depositary nor any of their agents assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to Owners or Holders of Receipts, except that they agree to perform their obligations
specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith. The Depositary shall not be subject to any liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities. Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any
of their agents shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the American Depositary Shares on behalf of any Owner, Holder or other
person, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation whatsoever with respect to such proceedings, the responsibility of the Custodian being solely to the Depositary. Neither the Depositary nor the nor any of their agents Company shall be
liable for any action or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or Holder or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to
give such advice or information. The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided
that any such action or nonaction is in good faith. The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with a matter
arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises, the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as
Depositary. No disclaimer of 
  

 A-15 

 liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement. 
  

	19.	RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITARY; 

	 	APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR CUSTODIAN. 

  
 The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect
upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by 60 days’ prior written notice of such removal, to become
effective upon the later of (i) the 60th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary or (ii) the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. Whenever the
Depositary in its discretion determines that it is in the best interest of the Owners to do so, it may appoint a substitute or additional custodian or custodians. 
  

	20.	AMENDMENT. 

  
 The form of the Receipts and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and
the Depositary without the consent of Owners or Holders in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees
and cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding American Depositary Shares
until the expiration of thirty days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Owners of outstanding American Depositary Shares. Every Owner and Holder of American Depositary Shares at the time any amendment so becomes effective
shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such American Depositary Shares or any interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of
the Owner to surrender American Depositary Shares and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. 
  

	21.	TERMINATION OF DEPOSIT AGREEMENT. 

  
 The Depositary at any time at the direction of the Company, shall terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of termination to the Owners of all
American Depositary Shares then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. The Depositary may likewise terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of termination to the Company and the Owners of
all American Depositary Shares then outstanding if at least 60 days have passed since the Depositary delivered to the Company a written notice of its election to resign and a 

  

 A-16 

 
successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. On and after the date of termination, the
Owner of American Depositary Shares will, upon (a) surrender of such American Depositary Shares, (b) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares referred to in Section 2.05 of the Deposit
Agreement, and (c) payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by those American Depositary Shares. If any American Depositary
Shares shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of American Depositary Shares, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the Owners thereof, and shall not
give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Securities, shall sell rights and other property as
provided in the Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, in exchange for
American Depositary Shares surrendered to the Depositary (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). At any time after the expiration of six months from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities then
held under the Deposit Agreement and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it thereunder, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners
of Receipts which have not theretofore been surrendered, such Owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the
Deposit Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipt in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its
obligations to the Depositary with respect to indemnification, charges, and expenses. 
  

	22.	MODIFIED RIGHTS SHARES. 

  
 If any Shares are deposited under the Deposit Agreement the holders of which have rights that vary from the rights that holders of the Shares first
deposited under the Deposit Agreement have (including restrictions on transferability, regardless of the source of the restrictions), the following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (a) “Standard Rights Shares” mean Shares the holders of which have the same rights with respect to those Shares as
holders of the Shares first deposited under the 

  

 A-17 

 
Deposit Agreement have with respect to those Shares. “Modified Rights Shares” means Shares the holders of which have rights with respect to those
Shares that vary from the rights that holders of the Shares first deposited under the Deposit Agreement have with respect to those Shares. 
  
 (b) The Depositary shall direct the Custodian to hold Modified Rights Shares deposited under the Deposit Agreement in a segregated account different from
the account in which it holds Standard Rights Shares and any other Modified Rights Shares the holders of which have different rights with respect to those Shares than holders of those Modified Rights Shares have with respect to those Shares.
Modified rights Shares the holders of which have identical rights with respect to those Shares are referred to as a “class” of Modified Rights Shares. 
  

(c) Each class of Modified Rights Shares deposited under the Deposit Agreement will be represented by a class of American Depositary Shares
(“Modified Rights ADSs”) different from the American Depositary Shares representing Standard Rights Shares (“Standard Rights ADSs”) and any other class of Modified Rights Shares. Modified Rights ADSs of each class that are in
certificated form will be evidenced by a class of Receipts (“Modified Rights ADRs”) different from the Receipts evidencing Standard Rights ADSs (“Standard Rights ADRs”). Modified Rights ADRs will be marked to indicate that they
are Modified Rights ADRs and may bear a legend describing how the rights of holders of those Modified Rights ADRs or the underlying Modified Rights Shares vary from the rights of holders of Standard Rights Shares or Standard Rights ADRs (which may
be a transfer restriction legend). 
  
 (d) If Modified Rights
Shares of any class become Standard Rights Shares, the Depositary shall cause the Custodian to transfer former Modified Rights Shares of that class into the account in which other Standard Rights Shares are held, the class of Modified rights ADSs
representing those Shares will automatically convert into Standard Rights ADSs and the Depositary may take any action necessary or convenient to effect that conversion. At any time after that conversion, the Owner of any Modified Rights ADR of that
class will be entitled to surrender that Modified Rights ADR to the Depositary and receive a Standard Rights ADR evidencing the same number of American Depositary Shares. 
  
 (e) Owners of Standard Rights ADSs shall be entitled to rights under the Deposit Agreement only with respect to Standard
Rights Shares. Owners of Modified Rights ADSs of each class shall be entitled to rights under the Deposit Agreement only with respect to the class of Modified Rights Shares represented thereby. 
  
 (f) All other provisions of the Deposit Agreement apply to Modified Rights
Shares and Modified Rights ADSs, subject to Section 2.10 of that Agreement. 
  

 A-18 

	23.	DTC DIRECT REGISTRATION SYSTEM AND PROFILE MODIFICATION SYSTEM 

  

(a) the parties acknowledge that the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) and Profile Modification System (“Profile”) shall apply to
uncertificated American Depositary Shares upon acceptance thereof to DRS by DTC. DRS is the system administered by DTC pursuant to which the Depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated American Depositary Shares, which ownership shall be
evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto. Profile is a required feature of DRS which allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on behalf of the Owner of uncertificated American Depositary Shares, to
direct the Depositary to register a transfer of those American Depositary Shares to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those American Depositary Shares to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by the Depositary of prior
authorization from the Owner to register such transfer. 
  
 (b) In
connection with and in accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties understand that the Depositary will not verify, determine or otherwise ascertain that the DTC participant which is claiming to be acting on
behalf of an Owner in requesting registration of transfer and delivery described in subsection (a) has the actual authority to act on behalf of the Owner. The Company and each Owner agree that the Depositary shall have no liability for relying
upon the authority of and information in, nor for complying with directions from, a DTC participant as set forth above. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositary from and against any liability, expense, damage, loss and judgment
arising from or related to the foregoing (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and expenses arising from or connected with the enforcement of this provision). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Depositary shall be fully protected
by the foregoing limitation of liability and indemnification with respect to reliance upon and compliance with instructions from the DTC participant even if the Depositary’s reliance on, and compliance with, such instructions is determined by a
final, non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute negligence, willful misconduct, breach of any duty owed by the Depositary to such Owner or violation of any law and (ii) the forgoing shall not apply to
the manner in which the Depositary carries out actual transfer of the American Depositary Shares which are the subject of the DTC participant’s instruction, which transfer shall continue to be governed by the other applicable terms of this
Deposit Agreement. By way of example and not by way of limitation, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the transfer of American Depositary Shares pursuant to a DTC participant’s instruction without obtaining prior
authorization from the Owner constitutes negligence, the Depositary will nevertheless be protected under this subparagraph (b); on the other hand, in carrying out such instructions, if the Depositary transfers American Depositary Shares from the
wrong account or to the wrong DTC participant, the obligation to indemnify the Depositary shall be determined in accordance with Sections 5.03 and 5.08 of the Deposit Agreement. 
  

 A-19 

	24.	SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES. 

  
 In the Deposit Agreement, the Company has (i) appointed National Registered Agents, Inc., 875 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 501, New York, New York
10001, in the State of New York, as the Company’s authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Shares or Deposited Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or this
Agreement, (ii) consented and submitted to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the State of New York in which any such suit or proceeding may be instituted, and (iii) agreed that service of process upon said authorized agent
shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. 
  
 To the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right
of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any respect thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from
attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time
be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with the Shares or Deposited Securities, the American Depositary Shares, the Receipts or the Deposit Agreement, the Company, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to plead or claim, any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.
