WHEREAS, Dogus represents that (a) it has held the Shares for more than two years and (b) its Board of Directors has adopted a resolution (a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex 1) not to distribute 75% of the capital gain from the disposal of the Shares which is calculated as being the difference between the Purchase Price and the carrying value of such Shares in the statutory accounts of Dogus immediately before the disposal of such Shares (such amount being the “Exempt Capital Gain”), in part or in whole for at least five years from the Completion Date. The Parties agree that Dogus’ compliance with the condition set forth in paragraph (b) above (the “Exemption Condition”) will exempt both copies of the Agreement from the Stamp Tax as foreseen in Law no. 488 regarding Stamp Tax (the “Stamp Tax Law”), table no 2(IV)(35).

Dogus shall notify BBVA as soon as a Breach occurs. BBVA shall not be responsible for or pay any amount in respect of any default interest (including any pişmanlIk zammI¸ if applicable) accruing during the period from (and including) the date on which the Breach occurs to (but excluding) the date on which Dogus notifies BBVA of such Breach.

3.	The Parties agree that in respect of Stamp Taxes the provisions of this Protocol shall prevail over Clauses 2.2 and 18 of the Agreement.

4.	This Protocol is supplemental to and should be read in conjunction with, and construed as one document with, the Agreement.
