following
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.- THE CREDIT: AMOUNT, PURPOSE AND DRAW-DOWN
A) | The Bank hereby grants the Borrower a business credit line, which the latter accepts (hereinafter the “Credit”), that shall be used to finance general cash needs. | |
B) | The maximum amount of the Credit granted by the Bank is of EIGHTEEN MILLION US DOLLARS (hereinafter the “Credit Amount”), which may be drawn down by the Borrower solely through draw-downs from the current account denominated in US DOLLARS at a variable interest rate calculated on the basis of the LIBOR. | |
C) | The Credit Amount may not be exceeded by the Borrower at any time and under no circumstances. Hence, the Borrower may not effectuate any draw-downs from the Credit for an amount that, when added to the sums already drown down and pending repayment or redemption, exceeds said Credit Amount. | |

At the start of transactions on today’s date, such account has a balance in favor of the Borrower amounting to TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SIXTEEN US DOLLARS AND SEVENTY-FOUR CENTS (US $25,716.74) according to the settlement made by the Bank, which the Borrower expressly accepts. | ||
E) | Any draw-downs made from the Credit by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions set forth herein shall at all times be conditional upon the fact that none of the causes for early termination set forth in Clause 11 contained herein has occurred at the moment the draw-down is made effective. |
2.- TERM
A) | The term of this agreement shall initially be for six (6) months, counting from the date it is entered into. | |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be construed to have been extended for an additional six-month (6) term should neither of the parties give the other written notice of their wish that such extension not occur before the end of the initial term. | ||
B) | Consequently, this Agreement shall terminate on July 29, 2010 (or, should it be extended, on December 29, 2010) (hereinafter the “Final Redemption Date”), on which the Borrower shall pay the Bank any amounts it may owe, along with any commission fees, interest or any items connected with this Agreement. Should such date turn out to be a holiday, it shall be construed that all the amounts owed shall have to be paid on the first business day following such holiday. | |
C) | For the purposes set forth herein, business days shall be construed as the days considered as such by the TARGET European payments system (as it is defined in Clause 3 contained herein) and, for the purpose of payments, those days deemed as such by both the TARGET system as well as those in Madrid. | |
For the purposes of calculating the settlement of interest or the repayment of principal, should the last day fall on a holiday, the redemption date shall come about on the next business day immediately following it. |
3.- ORDINARY INTEREST
A) | Any debit balances of the Credit Account shall accrue interest on a daily basis in favor of the Bank based on a year consisting of three hundred and sixty (360) days. | |
For the purposes of calculating interest, the time running between the date this Agreement is entered into and the Final Redemption Date shall be deemed to be divided into successive interest periods lasting one (1) month. |
[Bears Notary’s stamp]
Any interest accrued shall be paid by the Borrower on a monthly basis based on the settlement submitted to it by the Bank within the first five (5) days of each month of each year this Agreement is in force, as well as on the Final Redemption Date or on any other date on which this Agreement is terminated for any cause or reason whatsoever. | ||
B) | Interest rate that applies: The interest rate that applies to each monthly interest period shall be the LIBOR (“London Interbank Offered Rate”) (hereinafter the “Reference Rate”) increased by a differential of one point ninety percentage points (1.90%). “LIBOR” (“London Interbank Offered Rate”) shall be construed to mean the annual interest rate for Euro deposits for a term equivalent to the duration of the interest period in question appearing on the “LIBOR=” or “REUTERS MIBOR “ screen two TARGET business days before and calculated on the basis of 360 days at approximately 11:00 a.m. Brussels time on the day it is to be calculated pursuant to the provisions contained herein, along with any taxes, duties or charges that in the future may be placed on obtaining deposits in the Interbank Market, in addition to the usual commission fee charged by the financial intermediary and any taxes, duties or charges placed on such commission fee. | |
“TARGET business days” shall be construed to mean any day on which payments can be effectuated through the system known as the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer, in other words, every day of the year except Saturdays, Sundays and any holidays that may be established at any time. | ||
Variability of the interest rate: The initial interest rate shall vary automatically on any day of the interest period, either upwards or downwards, by taking the LIBOR (“London Interbank Offered Rate”) as a reference in the way set forth hereunder. In any case, the LIBOR reference rate shall be increased by the percentage points that may have been agreed upon for such period. | ||
The aforementioned upward or downward modification shall come about whenever the arithmetic mean of the LIBOR interest rate for transactions at one (1) month published either directly by the European Central Bank or through the Bank of Spain during a period of five TARGET business days prior to the modification date undergoes a total percentage variation of plus or minus 0.50 points in regards the prevailing reference rate for this Credit on the modification date | ||
Should the LIBOR interest rates for interbank deposit transactions for the period in question not be published either directly by the European Central Bank or through the Bank of Spain, the reference rate shall be obtained in accordance with the same terms set forth in the preceding paragraph from the LIBOR interest rates for interbank deposit transactions for the next immediately shorter period that has been published either directly by the European Central Bank or through the Bank of Spain. | ||
The Bank shall give notice of the interest rate thus calculated to the Borrower on the first business day of each interest period and such rate shall be in force during the interest period to which it refers. The Borrower hereby waives any deferred application thereof for the purposes set forth in paragraph 8, Rule 6 of the Bank of Spain Circular 8/1990 of September 7. | ||
Taking into account the prevailing LIBOR calculated in the way set forth above, the interest rate that shall apply to the first monthly interest period commencing on today’s date shall be two point one hundred thirty-one percentage points (2.131%) corresponding to the effective annual interest rate (calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth in Clause 5 hereunder) of two point one hundred fifty-two percentage points (2.152%). |

[Bears Notary’s stamp]
C) | Replacement interest rate for the LIBOR: Should it turn out to be impossible to determine the interest rate on the basis of the LIBOR due to it not being published or for any other reason affecting the interbank market not imputable to the parties, the parties shall make an effort to find a replacement interest rate to resolve the difficulties of applying the interest rate initially foreseen herein until circumstances allow the original interest rate to be used once more, including but not limited to setting an alternative interest rate or any other possible means. Should the parties be unable to reach agreement on such replacement interest rate within five business days, the lowest interest rate offered by the following banks for credit lines having similar conditions as the ones set forth herein shall apply: BBVA, SCH and Popular Español, increased by a differential of one point ninety percentage points (1.90%). | |
D) | The replacement interest rate that may apply in accordance with the preceding rules shall be in force for solely one month, except should it continue to be impossible to obtain the LIBOR rate or, should the parties reach a mutual agreement on the replacement interest rate, in which case it shall be maintained until the LIBOR rate can be obtained or until the parties reach mutual agreement on a replacement interest rate. | |
The provisions set forth in paragraph B) above shall apply for giving notice of and applying the replacement interest rate thus calculated. | ||
Any amounts owed shall once again accrue interest based on the interest rate set in accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraph B) as soon as circumstances allow. | ||
E) | The Borrower, in turn, shall inexcusably give notice to the Bank of its acceptance or rejection of the new interest rate thus set either by telegram, in person or any other means that can leave behind irrefutable proof of notice being served within twenty calendar days following the commencement of each interest period. | |
F) | Should the Borrower give notice to the Bank of its refusal to accept the new interest rate for any reason whatsoever, this Agreement shall be terminated for all intents and purposes on the final day of the last interest period accepted. The Credit shall then become due and, as of such day, the Borrower’s obligations may be required. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall be entitled to a grace period of one month counting from the date of the Borrower’s rejection to effectuate the repayment of principal and pay the corresponding interest, which shall be calculated in keeping with the last interest rate accepted by the Borrower and in force during the last period preceding termination. |
4.- PENALTY INTEREST
The Borrower shall pay the Bank penalty interest on any amounts that have not been paid on the
dates set forth in accordance with the preceding Clauses. Such penalty interest shall accrue as of
the date on which non-payment comes about until the date on which the amounts owed are effectively
paid in full. The penalty interest rate shall result from adding the EONIA interest rate (as
defined in the following paragraph) to an amount similar to the amount owed for a period of one (1)
day with a differential of one hundred and ninety percentage points (1.90%).
[Bears Notary’s stamp]
“EONIA” (Euro Overnight Index Average) shall be construed to mean the reference rate of the Euro
Money Market that may result from the agreement in force at any one time under the oversight of the
European Banking Federation and the Financial Markets Association (ACI) (currently, the agreement
sets forth the reference rate on screen 247 of the BRIDGE Telerate system between the 18.45 and the
19.45 hours (Central European Time) for financing with delivery of funds on the same day the rate
is set for one-day Euro deposits.
On days on which it is impossible to determine the EONIA as set forth above, the EONIA
corresponding to the last day in which it could be determined shall apply.
Such interest shall be settled and paid on a monthly basis on the interest settlement date and on
the date the principal on which they accrue is to be paid or, should it be the case, on the date
this Agreement is terminated by the Bank.
For the purposes of the Article 317 of the Code of Commerce, the parties expressly agree that the
Bank may capitalize any unpaid penalty interest that has accrued, which shall in turn accrue new
interest at the penalty interest rate.
The foregoing shall be without prejudice to any liabilities the Borrower may have incurred before
the Bank.
5.- EFFECTIVE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE
For informative purposes, it is hereby indicated that the effective annual interest rates that
applies on the basis of this Agreement shall be calculated in keeping with the formula contained
in Annex V of the Bank of Spain’s Circular 8/1990 of September 7 (published in the Official
Journal of the State [Boletín Oficial del Estado], no. 313 of December 31, 1993 and no. 184 of
August 3, 1994) and notice thereof shall be given by the Bank to the Borrower on the same date
that notice is given of the nominal interest rate that may apply in each case.
6.- PAYMENTS

In any event, the Borrower shall pay the Bank the balance of the Credit Account set forth in paragraph D), Clause 1 contained herein on the Final Redemption Date or on any other date on which this Agreement is terminated. | |
B) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall irrevocably empower the Bank, so that the latter may, without any kind of limitation whatsoever, offset such payments it is owed by the former pursuant to this Agreement with any amount belonging to the Borrower which may be in the Bank’s power for any reason whatsoever, or with any amount that the Bank may owe to the Borrower for any reason whatsoever. The Borrower shall likewise irrevocably empower the Bank, so that the latter may effectuate any credit or debit, foreign currency exchange, account transfer or securities realization transactions and carry out any other actions that may be necessary or suitable in order to apply the amounts set forth above to such payments. |

D) | Borrower failing to meet its payment obligations when they are due shall give rise to the accrual of penalty interest, as set forth in Clause 4 above. Furthermore, the Borrower shall be particularly obliged to compensate any damages it may cause the Bank arising from the establishment, taking out, renewal or cancellation of third-party deposits as a result of a breach of the Borrower’s payment obligations. For such a purpose, the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts any justified settlement that may be submitted to it by the Bank as of this moment. |
7.- LEGAL CLAIMS
As of this moment, the Borrower recognizes the accuracy of the Bank’s book entries and any settlement made by the Bank in keeping with such entries shall constitute valid evidence in court, and the amount resulting from such settlement shall be deemed as cash. | ||
Any cash amount owed by the Borrower that may be claimed before the courts shall be deemed to be the amount resulting from closing the current credit account in the Bank’s books. For the purposes set forth in Article 572 of the Civil Proceedings Law (Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil), the parties expressly agree the amount that may be claimed in the event of enforcement shall be the amount specified in the certificate issued by the bank setting forth the current credit account’s balance once the relevant settlement has been made. Such certificate shall state the official intermediation Agent intervening in the Bank’s claim, that the aforementioned balance coincides with the balance appearing in the special account and that the settlement was carried out as agreed upon by the parties in the Clauses of this Agreement. By virtue of this Agreement, the submission of an authorized copy or a notarial affidavit of this Agreement, along with the certificate issued by the Bank in accordance with Article 573 of the same Law, as indicated above, shall be sufficient to exercise the enforcement action. |
8.- FORCE MAJEURE AND CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES
A) | Should the Bank find it impossible to maintain the Credit under the terms and conditions set forth herein due to exceptional causes that cannot be avoided, it may put forward alternatives to the Borrower which, should they not be accepted by the latter, shall empower the Bank to terminate this Agreement early. The Borrower shall then be obliged to repay the Bank any amounts it may owe in accordance with this Agreement within three (3) business days. | |
B) | Should the Bank undergo an increase of costs, or suffer a reduction of income resulting from new legislation of any kind or level, or from a new interpretation of existing legislation, or be subject to a change in banking coefficients during the time this Agreement is in force, it may initiate a period of negotiations with the Borrower lasting thirty (30) days in order to adjust the latter’s consideration, so that the Bank may obtain a similar amount of net income that it would have obtained pursuant to the legislation prevailing at the moment this agreement was entered into. |
[Bears Notary’s stamp]
