(a) During the period of 30 days following the date of signature hereof, the Purchasers shall send the Sellers a certificate stating in sufficient detail their estimates of the amount of the Debt on the date of the CTC shareholders meeting indicated in the seventh recital hereof (“Debt Calculated by the Purchasers”). Provided the Purchasers do not send the Sellers the amount of the Debt Calculated by the Purchasers in that period, they shall be deemed for all purposes to waive their right to adjust the Estimated Price pursuant to Section 3.3.(b). During 10 days following receipt by the Sellers of the Debt Calculated by the Purchasers, the Sellers shall notify the Purchasers of their agreement or disagreement with the same, it being understood, in absence of communication, that they agree with the Debt Calculated by the Purchasers.
(b) Provided the Sellers have stated their disagreement with the amount of the Debt Calculated by the Purchasers, the Parties shall try to negotiate in good faith during a period of 10 days after receipt by the Purchasers of the notice by the Sellers stating their disagreement with the Debt Calculated by the Purchasers. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement in such period of 10 days, any thereof may submit the dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers (hereinafter “PWC”), who, in the period of 30 days after appointment thereof, extendible for another period of 30 days, shall render a decision on the amount of the Debt on the date of the CTC shareholders meeting indicated in the seventh recital hereof. The expenses of PWC shall be paid by the Party whose claim is furthest from the final decision of PWC. The decision thus rendered by PWC shall be deemed final and binding upon both Parties and not subject to any remedy nor to arbitration pursuant to Section 15.2 of Clause Fifteenth. The Parties promise to deliver all information to PWC that it reasonably requests to be able to perform the entrusted task. The Debt on the date of the CTC shareholders meeting indicated in the Seventh Recital hereof agreed upon by the Parties or determined by PWC shall be called the “Final Debt.”
(c) Provided the Final Debt is greater than the Maximum Debt, the Estimated Price shall be reduced by the amount of such difference and the resulting sum shall be considered the Final Price. For such purposes, the difference between the Maximum Debt and the Final Debt shall be converted from CLP to USD using the Exchange Rate. Each Seller shall pay the respective Purchaser the percentage corresponding thereto (based on the number of Shares transferred by each Seller hereunder) of the amount in US$ of the difference between the Estimated Price and the Final Price. Payment of the difference shall be made by each Seller in same-day funds to the current account notified by each Purchaser to each Seller for such purpose in the non-extendible period of 5 Business Days following notice of the Final Debt by PWC or the date when the Parties have reached an agreement on the Final Debt.

REPORT BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Directors of
Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A.
We have reviewed the interim general balance sheets of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the corresponding interim income and cash flow statements for the three-month periods ending on those dates. These interim financial statements and the corresponding notes are the responsibility of the management of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A.
We have performed a review according to auditing standards established in Chile for a review of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying audit procedures to the financial statements and of making inquiries with the staff responsible for financial and accounting matters. The scope of this review is substantially less than an audit performed according to generally accepted auditing standards of Chile where the objective is to express an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. Consequently, the interim financial statements as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 have not been audited and, therefore, we are unable to express, nor do we express, such an opinion.
Based on our review of the interim financial statements of Telefónica Móvil de Chile S.A. as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, we have no knowledge of any significant adjustments that should be made to such statements in order for them to be in harmony with generally accepted accounting principles of Chile.
