11.2 The Parties will co-ordinate among themselves and with the Company the timing and contents of (i) any filing with applicable securities regulators (including “hechos relevantes” and filing with the SEC of a Schedule 13D amendment) in relation to this Agreement, in compliance with the duties and obligations provided by applicable law, and (ii) any press release or public announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except (A) announcements in connection with the Offer, (B) as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, or (C) as may be required by applicable law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system (including any rules or regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or the Spanish Securities Exchange Act).

11.3 The Parties acknowledge and accept that if the Offer is launched, a description of this Agreement will be provided in the Tender Offer Materials, and that a copy of the Agreement will be attached as an exhibit to the Schedule TO filed by the Bidder with the SEC.

11.4 The Selling Stockholders agree to keep confidential any non-public information regarding TELVENT that it has received as a result of its commercial relationships with, or ownership of, TELVENT for a period of 5 years from the date hereof.

12. Specific Performance

12.1 The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters, (b) the Bidder Parties are and will be relying on such covenants, obligations and agreements in connection with entering into the Transaction Agreement and the performance of their obligations under the Transaction Agreement, and (c) a violation of any of the covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement by either party will cause the non-defaulting party irreparable injury for which adequate remedies

Page 17

are not available at law. Therefore, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the breaching party from committing any violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements and to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies the Parties may have under applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, and in application of the relevant provisions of Spanish law it is expressly agreed by the Parties that: (i) specific performance can only take place when, at the time it is to be granted, such specific performance is feasible and is being requested in good faith by the Parties seeking to enforce it (buena fe de exigir); (ii) specific performance will not be granted when it entails an imposition of a sanction against individual freedom (hacer personal); and (iii) specific performance will not be granted when its application implies the breach of an obligation of a third party (e.g. an obligation imposed by the Sellers on the directors nominated by them to vote in a given sense at a Board meeting which would go against the duties of directors under the Spanish Corporation Act).

13. Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries

	13.1		No Party shall have the right to assign the rights and obligations arising under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties.
	13.2		No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person, other than the Company with respect to the provisions of clause 3.4.

14. Costs and taxes

14.1 The Parties will bear the costs and taxes derived from negotiating, formalizing and executing this Agreement, as follows:

(i) All the expenses and costs incurred and directly related to the Offer shall be borne by the Bidder Parties.

Page 18

	(ii)		Other fees for advisors, auditors and other professionals will be borne by the Party that contracted the services in each case.
	(iii)		Taxes resulting from formalizing and executing this Agreement, if any, will be borne, in each case, in accordance with applicable Law.

15. Interpretation Standards

	15.1		Headings. The headings and index used in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and will not be deemed to affect its interpretation.
	15.2		Prevalence. If conflict arises between the clauses of this Agreement and the content of its Schedules or a supplementary document, the content of the clauses of this Agreement will prevail.
	15.3		Severability. The illegality, invalidity or nullity of any clause in this Agreement will not affect the validity of its other clauses, provided the rights and obligations of the Parties are not affected in an essential manner. ‘Essential’ is understood as any situation that seriously prejudices the interests of any of the Parties, or affects the object of this Agreement as provided in clause 1. Such clauses are to be replaced or integrated into others that, in accordance with law, correspond to the objectives of the substituted clause(s).
	15.4		Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties on the date it is entered into, regarding the matters set out in it, and it substitutes and derogates all other previous agreements relating to its object. All the schedules form an integral part of this Agreement and have the same validity and effect as if they were incorporated into the text of this Agreement. Changes to this Agreement are to be made in writing and signed by the Parties.
	15.5		Waiver. No waiver by the Parties of any of the rights under this Agreement or derived from its breach will be deemed to exist, unless the waiver is made expressly in writing. If any Party waives any of its rights under this Agreement or any breach of this Agreement by the other Party pursuant to the previous paragraph, this waiver will not be understood as a waiver of any other right under this Agreement or any

Page 19

other breach by the other Party, even though it may be similar to the waived event.
