He states the effectiveness of the power of attorney and the full continuance of the powers by which he is acting.
I stipulate that in my judgment, the representative powers that have been accredited to me are sufficient to execute this deed of power of attorney.

- And TELEFONICA PUBLICIDAD E INFORMACION S.A. is a company legally incorporated at this time in Madrid, Spain, and is in good standing.

3
empowered to stipulate the clauses of the share purchase agreement or agreements and transfer or transfers that they deem necessary, and may, for such purpose, agree to the price, form of payment, number of shares to be acquired and purchased, the date of execution thereof, the date and place of closing and, in general, the other terms and conditions that they deem convenient or necessary to appropriately complete the aforesaid purchase and acquisition transactions.
