A confirmation letter issued by Bank of America, N.A. and BofA Securities Inc. on 13 January 2021 is attached to this Agreement as Schedule 3 as evidence of the sufficiency of available cash resources of the Buyer to pay the Price in full.

3.2

The Seller undertakes to provide the Estimated Adjusted Net Debt of any of the Companies in a timely manner as set forth above.

3.3

Price Adjustment

3.3.1 Calculation of the Reference Adjusted Net Debt and the Price Adjustment. Following the Closing, the Reference Adjusted Net Debt and the Price Adjustment shall be calculated as follows:

(i)

Within three months following the Closing, the Buyer shall (a) cause Towers Latam to prepare its Closing Accounts; (b) prepare a statement with the Buyer’s calculation, based on the Closing Accounts, of the Reference Adjusted Net Debt and, therefore, of the Price Adjustment, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Buyer’s Statement”); and (c) submit the Closing Accounts and the Buyer’s Statement to the review of the Auditor (such review to be performed within the scope of work set forth in Schedule 4). The Auditor shall review the Closing Accounts and the Buyer’s Statement and provide the Buyer its procedures report as soon as possible, and in any event within one month after having received the documentation from the Buyer. Within five Business Days thereafter, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Closing Accounts, the Buyer’s Statement and the agreed-upon procedures report of the Auditor. The Closing Accounts together with such Auditor’s report shall be referred hereinafter as the “Reviewed Closing Accounts”. The Buyer undertakes, to the extent possible, to make its best efforts to cause the Auditor to deliver the Reviewed Closing Accounts within such one month period, however, the Buyer shall not be held responsible for any delay in delivering such Reviewed Closing Accounts to the Seller for a delay attributable to the Auditor (in which case, the deadline to deliver the Reviewed Closing Accounts shall be extended, as appropriate).

(ii)

The Seller shall have a period of forty-five calendar days following receipt of such Reviewed Closing Accounts and the Buyer’s Statement to review the materials received and notify the Buyer any discrepancy therein. The Buyer shall provide any reasonable assistance and documentation required by the Seller for the performance of such review in a timely manner and, in particular, shall cause the Companies to provide access to the Seller (on a reasonable and confidential basis, during normal business hours) to the Companies’ accounting or other documents, records and other materials and information, and make available, to a reasonable extent, employees and auditors of the Companies, and any other assistance, document or information that the Seller may reasonably request.

(iii)

If the Seller does not object to the Price Adjustment resulting from such Buyer’s Statement within the period set forth in the previous paragraph, such Price Adjustment so notified by the Buyer will be deemed to be agreed between the Parties.

(iv)

On the contrary, if the Seller objects to the Price Adjustment resulting from such Buyer’s Statement, it shall notify the Buyer of its disagreement within the forty-five-day period set forth above, indicating the basis of such disagreement and the reasons therefore, indicating its calculation of the Reference Adjusted Net Debt and the resulting Price Adjustment, and providing all back-up calculations and documentation reasonably necessary

- 26 -

to support the Seller’s calculations (the “Seller’s Objection Notice”). In this event, the Buyer and the Seller shall aim to agree on the determination of the Price Adjustment during the ten Business Days following the receipt by the Buyer of the Seller’s Objection Notice. If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to reach an agreement within the time period indicated in the preceding sentence, any or both Parties may submit the discrepancy to the Expert pursuant to the form of engagement letter, to be agreed in good faith between the Parties and the Expert during the Interim Period.

(v)

The Expert, when appointed, shall render and notify simultaneously to the Seller and the Buyer its final decision on the discrepancies submitted to its review (for the avoidance of doubt, the Expert shall only review and decide on the discrepancies between the Buyer’s Statement and the Seller’s Objection Notice, but not on any other item) and its calculation of the Reference Adjusted Net Debt and the resulting Price Adjustment (that shall be within the range of the amounts included in the Buyer’s Statement and in the Seller’s Objection Notice). The Expert’s decision, together with a statement of reasons therefore, shall be provided to the Parties within one month from the date of acceptance of its appointment. For these purposes, the Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(vi)

In the absence of manifest error (in which case the relevant part of the Expert’s determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted back to it for correction), the Price Adjustment determined by the Expert, within the range of the amounts included in the Buyer’s Statement and in the Seller’s Objection Notice, shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(vii)

The Buyer and the Seller undertake to cooperate, and the Buyer undertakes to cause the Companies to cooperate, with the Expert, to the fullest extent possible. In particular:

the Parties shall promptly deliver to the Expert the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the calculations made by the Buyer (and reviewed by the Auditor) and by the Seller, as well as any other information available to the relevant Party that the Expert may reasonably consider necessary to perform its mandate; and

the Buyer shall promptly make available, and cause the Companies to provide access (on a reasonable and confidential basis, during normal business hours) to the Companies’ accounting or other documents, records and other materials and information, and make available employees, auditors and advisors of the Companies, and any other assistance, document or information that the Expert may request, in each case to the extent necessary for the Expert to perform its mandate.

(viii)

The fees of the Expert shall be borne by the Buyer and the Seller in inverse proportion to the extent to which the Expert decides in favour of each Party. By way of example, if the Buyer’s Statement includes a Price Adjustment of 100 and the Seller’s Objection Notice of 200 and the Expert decides that the

- 27 -

correct Price Adjustment is 175, the Buyer shall bear 75% of the Expert’s fees and the Seller the remaining 25%.

3.3.2 Payment of the Price Adjustment. The Price Adjustment shall be paid in cash, in Euros, without any deduction, set-off, withholding or counterclaim, within twenty Business Days following the date on which the Price Adjustment has been finally determined pursuant to Clause 3.3.1 above:

(i)

If the Price Adjustment is positive, the Buyer shall pay the Price Adjustment to the Seller; and

have been invoiced by the relevant Companies to their respective counterparties, or accrued in accordance with such amounts, rates and terms in effect (including the proper invoicing of such clients, or accruals for amounts payable related to the reimbursement of ground rents, where applicable),

or otherwise have been recorded in accordance with IFRS as consistently applied by the Telxius Group.

To the extent certain revenues are paid or payable on an other-than-monthly basis, such revenues for the month of the relevant date of the Management Accounts include an apportioned amount of the revenues corresponding to such month.

The copies of the Chilean Facilities contained in the Data Room are complete and accurate copies of the originals. The Chilean Facilities are in full force and effect, and are legal, valid, binding and enforceable on the parties thereto, and neither the Seller nor Towers Chile Holding is in default under any of the Chilean Facilities.

8.2

Obligation to compensate

(i)

The Seller agrees and undertakes to compensate (indemnizar) the Buyer for any Damages that the Buyer or the Companies incur as a result of a breach of the Specific Warranties (a “Misrepresentation”) and which is either (a) expressly accepted by the Seller or (b) in respect of which a Ruling has been rendered, which declares the existence of the relevant Misrepresentation and determines the Damages deriving therefrom, and in any event within the limits and subject to the terms set forth in this Clause 8.

(ii)

Payment of the corresponding Damages shall be made in Euros within ten Business Days following the date on which such Damages are determined pursuant to the previous paragraph.

(iii)

The payment by the Seller to the Buyer of any Damages as a result of a Misrepresentation shall be considered as a reduction of the Price as far as legally possible.

- 48 -

8.3

Absence of any other warranty, sole and exclusive remedy and liability disclaimer

(i)

The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Specific Warranties are the only warranties provided by the Seller regarding the Shares, the Companies and the Business and therefore, the Seller does not give, either expressly or impliedly, any warranties in relation to the Shares, the Companies or the Business, other than the Specific Warranties and shall not be liable, in any manner whatsoever, for any liabilities, obligations, contingencies, or concealed defects of any kind existing in the Shares, the Companies or the Business, save as otherwise agreed in this Agreement.

(ii)

The Buyer recognizes and accepts that it has not entered into this Agreement trusting any representation, warranty, commitment or obligation to indemnify, either express or implied, of any kind, either of the Seller or of its advisors, of the Companies or of any other third party, other than the Specific Warranties.

(iii)

The Buyer expressly acknowledges and accepts that the sole remedy to which it shall be entitled in the event of a Misrepresentation shall be the appropriate indemnification of the Damages, and the Buyer expressly waives any other right to which it may be entitled, including the right to terminate this Agreement.

(iv)

In particular, the Buyer expressly acknowledges and accepts that the rights and remedies contemplated in this Agreement in the event of a Misrepresentation replace in their entirety the provisions addressing liability of a seller of shares with respect to obligations under purchase and sale set forth in the Spanish Civil Code and in the Spanish Commercial Code, including, in particular, the rights and remedies available to a purchaser in the event of an ejectment of title (evicción) and hidden defects (vicios ocultos).

(v)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer waives any rights to challenge the validity of the limitations of liability for Specific Warranties set forth in this Agreement and any non-contractual liability (responsabilidad extracontractual) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

8.4

Buyer’s actual or constructive knowledge

(i)

The Seller shall not be liable for any Misrepresentation to the extent that the facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to such Misrepresentation were fairly disclosed to the Buyer.

(ii)

The Buyer represents that it is not aware of any inaccuracy of the Specific Warranties or any other fact or circumstance which could entitle it to serve a Claim Notification against the Seller under this Agreement immediately upon its execution. The above shall be without prejudice to the right of the Buyer to serve a Claim Notification against the Seller under this Agreement should it become aware of any inaccuracy of the Specific Warranties or any other

- 49 -

fact or circumstance that so entitles the Buyer following the date of this Agreement.

8.5

Time limitation

(i)

The Seller shall not be liable for Damages for Misrepresentations unless the Claim Notification is given by the Buyer to the Seller in accordance with this Agreement within twelve months following the Closing Date, except for claims related to Specific Warranties (i) to (v) of Clause 8.1 above, in which case the Buyer may bring a claim against the Seller at any time until the expiry of the applicable statute of limitations (periodo de prescripción legal).

(ii)

Therefore, the Seller will not be obliged to indemnify the Buyer for claims made by the Buyer for Misrepresentations once such terms have expired, unless a claim is already in process. Therefore, any valid claim made within the abovementioned periods, as applicable, will entail the extension of the abovementioned term of indemnification for such claim until its full settlement according to this Agreement.

8.6

De minimis and Overall Deductible

(i)

The Seller shall not be liable for any individual claim for Misrepresentations (or a series of claims arising from substantially identical facts or circumstances) where the Damages agreed or determined for any such claim or series of claims does not exceed the Individual Deductible. Where the Damages agreed or determined in respect of any such claim or series of claims exceeds the Individual Deductible, such claim or series of claims shall be considered from the first euro and not just the amount in excess of the Individual Deductible.

Nevertheless, in the event of a claim for a Misrepresentation in relation to the Specific Warranties 8.1(xiv), 8.1(xv) and 8.1(xvi), the liability of the Seller shall not be subject to the Individual Deductible.

(ii)

The Seller shall not be liable for any claim for Misrepresentations unless the aggregate amount of all such claims for which the Seller would otherwise be liable exceeds the Overall Deductible. Where the liability agreed or determined in respect of all such claims exceeds the Overall Deductible, the liability of the Seller shall be limited to the Damages in excess of the Overall Deductible.

8.7

Maximum liability

The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for Damages for Misrepresentations shall be:

(i)

with respect to Damages for breaches of the Specific Warranties (i) to (v) of Clause 8.1 above, the Price corresponding to the Company to which the relevant breach relates to; and

- 50 -

(ii)

€80,000,000 with respect to Damages for breaches of the other Specific Warranties of Clause 8.1 above;

provided that in no circumstances the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller under this Agreement for all concepts shall exceed the Price.

8.8

Other limitations on Seller’s liability for Specific Warranties

Without prejudice that no limitation on liability set out in this Agreement shall apply where there has been wilful misconduct (dolo), the Seller shall not be liable for Damages for Misrepresentations (nor for the amount of the Damages increased) if the Misrepresentation has arisen as a result of or in connection with:

(i)

Any act, omission or transaction of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the date of this Agreement (or of any of the Companies after the Closing Date) done, committed or effected other than in order to comply with applicable law or pursuant to a legally binding commitment to which the Companies are subject on or before the Closing Date;

(ii)

Any matter fairly disclosed in this Agreement, including its Schedules;

(iii)

Any matter specifically covered by a provision or reserve included in the accounts of the relevant Company as of 30 September 2020;

(iv)

Any matter or action permitted, done or omitted to be done pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement or otherwise at the request or with the approval of the Buyer if request for approval was made in good faith;

(v)

The passing of, or any change in, after the Closing Date, any applicable law or administrative practice of any government, governmental department, agency or regulatory body including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any increase in the Tax rates or any imposition of Tax or any withdrawal of relief from Tax not actually (or prospectively) in effect at the Closing Date;

(vi)

Any change after the Closing Date of any generally accepted accounting principles, procedure or practice; or

(vii)

Any change in accounting or Tax policy, bases or practice of the Companies introduced or having effect after the Closing Date (or after the date of this Agreement if such change is fairly required by the statutory auditor or required to comply with any applicable law).

8.9

Contingent claims or liabilities

The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any liability which is contingent unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable. This provision shall not operate to avoid a claim for Misrepresentations made in respect of a contingent liability within the time limit specified in Clause 8.5 above.

- 51 -

8.10

Net financial benefit

To the extent the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (or the Companies as from the Closing Date) have effectively received any savings or net quantifiable benefit arising directly from certain Damages or the facts giving rise to such Damages (for example, where the amount, if any, by which any Tax for which the Buyer, any of its Affiliates or the Companies – as from the Closing Date – would otherwise have been accountable or liable to be assessed is actually reduced or extinguished as a direct result of the matter giving rise to such liability), the Seller shall only be obliged to indemnify for Misrepresentation in an amount equivalent to the Damages less the amount of the relevant savings or net quantifiable benefit.

8.11

Recovery from insurers and third parties

The Seller shall not be liable for Damages for Misrepresentations to the extent such Damages are effectively recovered and reimbursed to the Buyer by an insurance policy or any other third party. For the purposes of this Clause, Damages shall be limited to the insurance proceeds effectively recovered by the Buyer, thus excluding any direct expenses, borne by the Buyer in order to effectively recover such amount.

If the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Companies) is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from an insurer or any other third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Buyer or any of the Companies (in whole or in part) for the Damages or liability which is the subject matter of the claim, the Buyer shall procure that best endeavours are used and all reasonable steps are taken to enforce the recovery against the insurer and/or third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs, Taxes and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery.

If the Seller has paid any amount in discharge of any such claim and subsequently the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Companies) recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from an insurer or third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Buyer or any of the Companies (in whole or in part) for such Damages or liability, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that the relevant Company shall, pay to the Seller as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to (i) any sum recovered from the insurer and/or third party less any reasonable costs, Taxes and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery, or if less (ii) the amount previously paid by the Seller to the Buyer. Any payment made by the Buyer or any of the Companies to the Seller under this Clause shall be made by way of further adjustment of the Price paid by the Buyer for the Shares to the extent possible in accordance with applicable accounting rules (IFRS).

8.12

Forecasts and projections

The Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Seller does not give or make any warranty or representation as to the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates, projections, statements of intent or statements of opinion provided to the Buyer or

- 52 -

any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors on or prior to the date of this Agreement, including those recorded in Data Room USBs, if any.

8.13

Mitigation of Damages

The Buyer shall use best endeavours and take all reasonable steps and give all reasonable assistance to avoid or mitigate any Damages for Misrepresentations, which, in the absence of mitigation might give rise to or increase the Seller’s liability pursuant to this Agreement. However, nothing in this Clause 8.13 shall limit the Buyer or the Buyer’s Group from taking any action to comply with applicable law or any contractual obligation.

8.14

Claims procedure

8.14.1

Notice

The Buyer shall notify the Seller, in writing and in any event within the time limits set forth in Clause 8.5 above, of any circumstance which may give rise to an indemnification for Misrepresentation as soon as possible and, in any event, within fifteen Business Days of its discovery, describing in reasonable detail its claim, setting out such information as is available to the Buyer or the Companies as is reasonably necessary to enable the Seller to assess the merits of the claim and mentioning the amount of the Damages sought or the specific criteria for determining the same (the “Claim Notification”).

8.14.2

Investigation by the Seller

In connection with any matter or circumstance that may give rise to a Claim Notification:

(i)

The Buyer shall allow, and shall procure that the Companies allow, the Seller to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Claim Notification and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such Claim Notification; and

(ii)

The Buyer shall disclose to the Seller all material of which the Buyer is aware which relates to the Claim Notification and shall, and shall procure that the Companies, give all such reasonable information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, provided that all information made available to the Seller under this Clause shall be treated as Confidential Information.

8.14.3

Negotiation between the Parties

The Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith during a period of one month from the date of receipt of the Claim Notification in an attempt to reach an agreement with respect to:

(i)

The existence of liability for breach of the Specific Warranties, and

- 53 -

(ii)

The amount of the Damages to be paid, where applicable, as a result of said liability.

In the event that an agreement is not reached by the Parties, the Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing within five Business Days after the end of the negotiation period whether it rejects or accepts its liability and, in the latter case, the amount which it recognizes that must be paid. If the Seller does not give said notification, it shall be deemed to have rejected the Claim Notification in its entirety.

In the event that the Seller recognizes liability in whole or in part, it shall pay the amount which it would have accepted within the period set forth in Clause 8.2 above, without prejudice to the Buyer’s right to demand the balance of its claim.

Any Claim Notification shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be irrevocably withdrawn six months after the notice is given, unless at the relevant time legal proceedings in respect of the claim have been commenced by being both issued and served.

8.14.4

Third Party Claims

In the event that a third party (including any authority) makes a claim against the Companies or the Buyer which could give rise to an indemnification pursuant to this Clause 8 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Buyer expressly recognizes the Seller’s right to defend said Third Party Claim.

Where this occurs, the following procedure shall apply:

(i)

As soon as it becomes aware of the Third Party Claim, and in any event before a third of the time laid down for replying thereto has elapsed, the Buyer shall notify, or cause the Companies to notify, the Seller of the existence of said claim.

(ii)

In addition, the Buyer shall notify, or cause the Companies to notify, the Seller within a reasonable time of the commencement of inspection activities which could give rise to an indemnification pursuant to this Clause 8, the Buyer giving the Seller the opportunity to jointly participate in the inspection procedure.

(iii)

Provided that it has previously accepted in writing its liability in respect of Third Party Claims (but without prejudice to facts or circumstances not known at such time that could limit the liability of the Seller), the Seller shall have the right to carry on or handle the defence of Third Party Claims at its own expense, by providing a notice in writing to the Buyer within ten Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Third Party Claim (and in any event, not later than the end of the first half of the term available for replying to or answering the Third Party Claim). Such right of defence includes taking such action as it shall deem necessary to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or contest the Third Party Claim (including making counterclaims or other claims against third parties) and to have the conduct of any related proceedings, negotiations or appeals, through all appropriate

- 54 -

procedures. If the Seller has not previously accepted in writing its liability, the defence shall be assumed by the Buyer, acting in good faith and making its best efforts to limit the Damages as far as possible.

(iv)

As an exception to the above, in the event the Third Party Claim may have material reputational or future negative implications for the Buyer and its group, the Buyer shall be entitled, at its absolute discretion, to undertake the defence of such Third Party Claim jointly with the Seller (in the event the Seller is willing to assume the defence). To that purpose, each Party shall nominate a representative who, acting jointly, will manage all negotiations and correspondence with the claimant in good faith, trying to minimize the Damages as well as the reputation or future negative implications for the Buyer and its group. If the Parties, acting in good faith, are unable to reach a joint position, the reasonable criteria of the Seller shall prevail, unless the Buyer waives its right to Damages for such Third Party Claim, in which case the Buyer will be entitled to defend the Third Party Claim alone.

(v)

In particular, the Seller may, in good faith and in view of minimising the potential liability, participate in and manage all negotiations and correspondence with the claimant or the inspection authorities, appoint a lawyer and court procedural representative. In this connection, the Buyer undertakes: (a) to perform the necessary formalities to ensure that the Companies affected grant sufficient powers of attorney to the Seller or the persons designated by it; (b) to provide the Seller with the information and documents necessary for the defence until the claim is definitively resolved; (c) to cooperate in good faith with the Seller in all aspects relating to the defence until the claim is definitively resolved; (d) not to take any measure with respect to the claim that could be in conflict with the defence assumed by the Seller or be detrimental to same, until the claim is definitively resolved; and (e) to adopt the measures reasonably requested by the Seller in relation to the defence until the claim is definitively resolved.

(vi)

The Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with the defence of the Third Party Claim and shall ensure that the Companies cooperate, allow the Seller to have access to the relevant commercial registers and documents and allow the Seller and its advisors to consult their employees and the advisors of the Companies.

(vii)

The Seller shall keep the Buyer promptly informed of the progress of any such Third Party Claims for which it has assumed their defence, promptly make available to the non-defending Party all notices, communications and filings in respect of such Third Party Claim and in any event with sufficient time so as to allow the Buyer to meaningfully review and comment on all documentation prior to the filing thereof with the applicable court, arbitration panel or other body. The Seller shall consider in good faith and, when reasonable or advisable, implement such comments or other consideration. Also, the Seller shall allow one or more individuals designated by the Buyer to attend and participate in all meetings and hearings in respect of such Third Party Claim to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law.

- 55 -

(viii)

While the Seller is handling in good faith the defence of any Third Party Claim, the Buyer shall not settle or allow the Companies to settle the same. Furthermore, the right of the Buyer to be indemnified shall not be enforceable unless there is a Ruling with respect to the Third Party Claim.

(ix)

The Seller may only settle the claim or reach an agreement with the third party after a good faith consultation with the Buyer and provided that, prior to, or at the same time, it makes available to the Buyer or the Companies, as appropriate, any indemnification which may be payable under this Clause 8.

(x)

In the event that the Seller notifies the Buyer that it is not going to assume the defence of the Third Party Claim or does not respond within the abovementioned period provided, the Buyer shall assume, or shall cause the Companies to assume, the defence of the Third Party Claim in good faith, making its best efforts to limit the Damages as far as possible. In any case, the Buyer may only allow the Companies to accept any liability in relation to such claim, or reach any settlement agreement after good faith consultation with the Seller and provided that if the Seller does not agree, the Seller shall have the right to take over from that moment the defence of the Third Party Claim. Nevertheless, any voluntary regularization by the Companies and the signature of any assessments on an uncontested basis, as the case may be, shall require the prior written consent of the Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(xi)

In the event the Buyer or the Companies undertake the defence of the Third Party Claim, all costs incurred in defending it (if the Seller finally becomes obliged to indemnify the Buyer under the terms of this Agreement, and to the extent reasonably incurred and properly documented) shall be included within the calculation of the Damages.

8.14.5

Other breaches

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties declare that nothing in this Clause 8 shall limit their ability to claim damages and losses (xxxxx y perjuicios) determined in accordance with the Spanish Civil Code (Código Civil) in the event of a breach by the other Party to fulfil its undertakings provided throughout in this Agreement (other than for Specific Warranties), provided that in no circumstances the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller under this Agreement for all concepts shall exceed the Price.

9.	TERMINATION

The corresponding Break-up Fee shall be payable within ten Business Days following the date on which the Termination Notice is sent by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to Clause 9.2 below.

For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Seller to the Break-up Fee hereunder is absolute and is not subject to, dependent or conditional on any negligence, delay, breach, misfeasance, nonfeasance or any condition attributable to or misconduct on the part of the Buyer, unless the non-satisfaction of any of the Conditions Precedent results from any action, act or omission attributable to the Seller.

This Agreement may be terminated (resuelto) by any of the Parties if the Reorganisation Condition Precedent has not been satisfied prior to the Long Stop Date (or the extended Long Stop Date) on the terms set forth in Clause 4.1, provided that the Seller shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Clause 9.1.3 if the non-satisfaction of the Reorganisation Condition Precedent is due to a breach of its obligations pursuant to Clause 4.1.4.

9.3

Effects of termination; survival of certain Clauses

Upon the termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate, except that:

(i)

(iv)

the Parties shall not disclose (and shall procure that none of its Affiliates and none of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and advisors discloses) any part of the Confidential Information to any third party, except as required by applicable law or a court

- 58 -

or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, nor use it for any purpose including, in particular, in respect of the Buyer, for causing any harm or seeking any competitive advantage with respect to the Telxius Towers Latam Division.

The undertakings in paragraphs (iii) and (iv) of this Clause 9.3 shall remain in force and effect during a period of five years from the date on which this Agreement is terminated.

10.

OTHER RIGHTS AND UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PARTIES

10.1

Foregoing civil action

Except in the event of wilful misconduct (dolo), the Buyer undertakes not to seek any liability or take or bring any action, and to cause the Companies not to seek any liability or take or bring any action, against the officers and directors of the Companies (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the directors resigning on the Closing Date) and the officers and directors of the Seller, by reason of their acts as such in relation to the Companies and, in particular, the individual or company action for liability provided for in articles 238 and 241 of the Spanish Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), and in article 367 thereof, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction. The undertaking in this paragraph shall not prejudice, reduce or restrict the liability of the Seller hereunder.

10.2

Undertaking to cease using the Telxius Tradenames

(i)

The Buyer acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to the Telxius Tradenames are owned exclusively by the Seller and that any and all rights of the Companies to use the Telxius Tradenames (including as part of their corporate name) shall terminate as of the Closing Date (without prejudice of the provisions in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below). For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges that neither this Agreement nor the Transaction contemplated herein confers upon the Buyer or any of its Affiliates any rights in respect of the Telefónica tradenames and that none of the Companies has any right in respect of such tradenames.

(ii)

The Buyer shall cause the Companies to approve and implement the modification of their corporate names so that they do not include any Telxius Tradename no later than one month after the corresponding Closing Date (except in the event a delay is due to facts or circumstances occurred before the Closing Date or due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer or the Companies).

(iii)

The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Companies to, (i) cease all use and/or display of the Telxius Tradenames and all references to such Telxius Tradenames (in particular, but without limitation, on the Companies’ websites, on any advertising support material and correspondence) no later than two months after the Closing Date, and (ii) cease the display of the Telxius Tradenames in all locations within four months after the

- 59 -

corresponding Closing Date (except in the event a delay is due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer or the Companies).

(iv)

The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, no later than ten Business Days from the date specified in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above (except in the event a delay is due to facts or circumstances occurred before the Closing Date, or due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer or the Companies), a certificate, duly signed by a duly empowered representative of the Buyer, that the Company has ceased using the Telxius Tradenames as set forth in each such paragraph.

(v)

In the event that a breach of the undertakings specified in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above is attributable to the Buyer or the Companies, the Buyer shall be obliged to pay the Seller a penalty of €2,000 for each day of delay. For the avoidance of doubt, any delay in implementing the change of corporate name or in ceasing the use and/or display of the Telxius Tradenames for any reason occurred before the Closing Date or due to reasons not attributable to the Buyer or the Companies will not trigger any penalty.

10.3

Termination of intragroup agreements and inter-company balances and services agreements

On or before, as applicable, each Closing Date:

(i)

The Seller shall cause the Companies and the relevant entities of the Telefónica Group to terminate the corresponding Closing Terminated Agreements, and to terminate and settle any outstanding inter-company balances and arrangements resulting from such Closing Terminated Agreements, including any redemption penalties.

(ii)

The Parties agree that the provision of the intragroup services to the Companies from the Closing Date shall be governed by the existing services agreements, so that the Companies can continue to develop their business in the ordinary course in accordance with past practice. Should the provision of any of such services require third party licenses or consents from entities not within the Telefónica Group, the Seller will make its best efforts, and the Seller shall cause the corresponding Company to make its best efforts, to obtain the necessary licenses or consents by the Closing Date. The corresponding Company, provided that the Buyer has granted its prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, will bear the costs of obtaining such licenses or consents.

To this effect, the Parties shall execute on the Closing Date the Seller Service Agreement Side Letter, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 7, and the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the Telefónica Service Agreement Side Letter duly executed by Telefónica, S.A., substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 7. The Buyer shall return to the Seller a signed copy of the Telefónica Service Agreement Side Letter on the Closing Date.

- 60 -

(iii)

With respect to each of the agreements, respectively, listed in Schedule 9, the Seller will make its best efforts, and the Seller shall cause the corresponding Company to make its best efforts, to obtain a declaration of the relevant counterparty waiving any rights with respect to a change of control under the respective agreement. The corresponding Company, provided that the Buyer has granted its prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, will bear the costs of obtaining such waivers.

10.4

Undertaking to preserve employment in the Companies

The Buyer shall cause that, during a period of one year from the Closing Date, the Companies (i) preserve the employment and the labour terms and conditions of their employees (such as fixed and variable salary, social benefits, category, workplace, etc.) as of the Closing Date and (ii) do not reduce the workforce by carrying out individual or collective dismissals, except for individual terminations based on disciplinary or non-performance grounds.

10.5

No cover under the Telxius Group insurance policies from Closing

The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that from (and including) the Closing Date:

(i)

None of the Companies shall have or be entitled to the benefit of any Telxius Group insurance policy in respect of any event, act or omission (x) takes place on or after such Closing Date, or (y) prior to such Closing Date but not notified to the relevant insurer before the Closing Date (except as regards the coverage for property damage and loss of profit and the general liability coverage, where the notification can be done until 30 days following the Closing Date); and it shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that adequate insurances are put in place for such Companies with effect from (and including) the Closing Date; and
