“Adverse Disclosure” means public disclosure of material non-public information that, in the good faith judgment of the Board (after consultation with legal counsel): (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement filed with the SEC or SVS by the Company so that such Registration Statement would not be materially misleading; (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and (iii) would not be in the best interests of the Company to disclose publicly.
“Proceeding” shall mean an action, claim, suit, arbitration or proceeding (including an investigation or partial proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened.
“Prospectus” shall mean a prospectus included in any Registration Statement (including a prospectus that discloses information previously omitted from a prospectus filed as part of an effective Registration Statement in reliance upon SEC rules), as amended or supplemented by any prospectus supplement, and all other amendments and supplements to the Prospectus, including post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus.
“Public Offering” shall mean the sale of Common Stock to the public pursuant to an effective Registration Statement (other than Form F-4 or any successor form) filed under the Securities Act or any comparable law or regulatory scheme of any foreign jurisdiction.
“Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, any (i) Common Stock held by the Investor and/or its Affiliates and (ii) American Depositary Shares (evidenced by American Depositary Receipts) representing such shares of Common Stock. Any particular shares of Common Stock shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (i) they are sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act or the Securities Market Law or (ii) they shall have ceased to be outstanding.
“Registration Statement” shall mean any registration statement of the Company under the Securities Act or similar registration document under the Securities Market Law for purposes of a Public Offering in Chile, which, in each case, covers any of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement, including post-effective amendments, all exhibits and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such registration statement.
“Rule 144” shall mean Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.
F-1

“underwritten registration” or “underwritten offering” shall mean a registration in which securities of the Company are sold to an underwriter for reoffering to the public or in which an underwriter commits to acquire such securities if and to the extent they are not acquired by third parties.
Section 2. Demand Registration.
(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the following paragraphs of this Section 2(a), the Investor shall have the right, by delivering or causing to be delivered a written notice to the Company, to require the Company to register pursuant to the terms of this Annex F, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act or the Securities Market Law, the offer, sale and distribution of a number of Registrable Securities equal to at least two percent (2%) of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of relevant Demand Notice pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (any such written notice, a “Demand Notice” and any such registration, a “Demand Registration”). Following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 2(a), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement in accordance with such Demand Notice as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of such Demand Notice.
No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 2(a), and any Demand Notice delivered in connection therewith shall not count as a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 2(d), if (i) the Registration Statement relating thereto (A) does not become effective or (B) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 2 or (ii) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC or similar order by the SVS during such period or (iii) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement, or similar agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied or waived, in each of the foregoing cases other than as a result of the Investor’s action.
All requests made pursuant to this Section 2 will specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method(s) of disposition thereof.
Except as otherwise agreed by Investor, the Company shall maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration until such securities cease to be Registrable Securities or such shorter period, as confirmed in writing by the Investor upon request by the Company, ending when such Registrable Securities have actually been sold.
F-2
(b) Postponement of Demand Registration. The Company shall be entitled to (1) postpone, the filing (but not the preparation) of a Registration Statement or (2) require the Investor to refrain from disposing Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (and the Investor shall forthwith discontinue such disposition) (collectively (1) and (2) a “Suspension”), if, the Company delivers a notice to the Investor stating that (A) such registration, offering or disposition would (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (ii) materially interfere with any bona fide material financing, acquisition, disposition or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then under consideration or (iii) occur during a Scheduled Black-Out Period, or (B) any event of the kind described in Section 4(c)(ii), (iii) or (iv) has occurred; provided that in the case of a Suspension declared pursuant to clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above, the Company shall be limited to calling no more than two (2)) Suspensions in any 12-month period, with each Suspension being for a reasonable period and such Suspensions not aggregating more than 90 days in any 12-month period. Such notification shall contain a non-binding approximation of the anticipated delay. The Investor shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 4(l). If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, the Investor shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company within 10 calendar days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the certificate delivered to the Investor and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon such withdrawal, the withdrawn request shall not constitute a Demand Notice; provided that in the event the Investor does not so withdraw the request for registration, the Company shall continue to prepare a Registration Statement during such postponement such that, if it exercises its rights under this Section 2(b), it shall be in a position to and shall, as promptly as practicable following the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the effectiveness of the applicable deferred or suspended Registration Statement.
(c) Cancellation of a Demand Registration. The Investor shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided that such Demand Notice underlying such abandonment or withdrawal shall not be deemed to be a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 2(d) if in response to a material adverse change regarding the Company; provided, further, that if any registration statement is abandoned or withdrawn pursuant to this Section 2(c) for any reason other than as described in the foregoing proviso, the Investor shall reimburse the Company for all of its reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with or arising out of such abandoned or withdrawn registration statement (including all expenses described in Section 5).
(d) Limitation of Demand Notices. In connection with the provisions of this Section 2, the Investor may not make more than two Demand Registration requests.
(e) SEC Delisting and Deregistration. Notwithstanding anything in this Annex F, if the Company has filed a Form 25 with the SEC to delist the Registrable Securities from a U.S. national securities exchange (or such exchange has filed a Form 25 with the SEC to delist such securities), or if the Company has publicly announced its intention to file a Form 15F to deregister its Registrable Securities under the applicable U.S. Securities Laws, the Investor shall not longer be entitled to submit a Demand Registration requesting that the Registrable Securities be registered with the SEC.
F-3
Section 3. Restrictions on Public Sale by the Investor. The Investor and the Company in connection with any underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2, if requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such offering, will not effect any public sale or distribution of any of the Company’s securities (except as part of such underwritten offering), including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any swap or other economic arrangement that transfers to another Person any of the economic consequences of owning Common Stock.
Section 4. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in the sale of the securities and shall use its reasonable best efforts, as expeditiously as possible to the extent applicable, to:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC or the SVS a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof and in accordance with this Agreement, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein; provided that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Investor, its counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(e) if requested by the managing underwriters, if any, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, and the Investor may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request; provided that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4(e) that are not, based on advice of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;
(f) deliver to the Investor, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities; provided that the Company may furnish or make available any such documents in electronic format; and the Company, subject to Section 2(b), hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by the Investor and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto;
(g) cooperate with, and direct the Company’s transfer agent to cooperate with, the Investor and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely settlement of any offering or sale of Registrable Securities in compliance with all applicable laws, including the preparation and delivery of certificates or instructions as may be reasonably necessary in the circumstances;
(h) subject to the Company’s right to declare a Suspension pursuant to Section 2(b), upon the occurrence of, and its knowledge of, any event contemplated by Section 4(c)(v) above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such that the Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
F-5
(i) enter into underwriting agreements in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings and such other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreements (including customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters) and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any, to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(j) permit and reasonably cooperate with a customary due diligence review by representatives of the Investor, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any counsel or accountants retained by the Investor or underwriter (collectively, the “Offering Persons”); provided that any information disclosed in connection with such due diligence review that is not generally publicly available at the time of such disclosure shall be kept confidential by such Offering Persons unless, and only to the extent, (i) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or in connection with an audit or examination by, or a blanket document request from, a regulatory or self-regulatory authority, bank examiner or auditor, (ii) disclosure of such information, in the reasonable judgment of the Offering Persons, is required by law or applicable legal process (including in connection with the offer and sale of securities pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC) or (iii) such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a non-permitted disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Offering Persons in violation of this Agreement. In the case of a proposed disclosure pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such Person shall be required to give the Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure (except in the case of (ii) above when a proposed disclosure was or is to be made in connection with a Registration Statement or Prospectus under this Agreement and except in the case of clause (i) above when a proposed disclosure is in connection with a routine audit or examination by, or a blanket document request from, a regulatory authority); and
