Subject to the requirements of this Article II and the requirements of Article IV of the Policy Agreement if any of the Itaú Parties (each, a "Selling Shareholder") (or any group of Selling Shareholders together) proposes to Transfer any shares in the Company or Share Equivalents which it owns, directly or indirectly, to any other Person (a "Buyer"), that would result in a Change of Control whether in any one Transfer or a series of Transfers (other than any Transfer (x) required pursuant to the terms of the Itaú Corp Group Shareholders Agreement or (y) occurring pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar business combination to which the Company is a party and all shareholders of the Company receive the same consideration on a per share basis; provided, in each such case, the Put Option pursuant to Section 2.05 applies), each IFC Party shall have the right to participate in such Transfer or series of Transfers in accordance with this Section 2.01 for up to 100% of such IFC Party's ownership interest in the Company, as the case may be (the "Tag-Along Right"); provided, however, that the IFC Parties shall not have such right if the proposed Transfer is implemented through a mandatory tender offer regulated under Article 198 et seq. of Law 18,045 on Securities Market, for all and any of the shares in the Company or Share Equivalents in which the IFC Parties are not restricted from tendering their shares. The Selling Shareholders shall comply with the other requirements of this Article II and Article IV of the Policy Agreement, including Section 4.01 (Restricted Transfers) of the Policy Agreement.
|
(b)
|
[Reserved].
|
(c)
|
The Selling Shareholders shall promptly, but in any case not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed date of closing of any Transfer described in Section 2.01(a), give notice (the "Transfer Notice") to each IFC Party. The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer, including the number and type of shares of the Company and/or Share Equivalents proposed to be purchased by the Buyer, the consideration proposed to be paid by the Buyer, other material terms and conditions proposed by the Buyer in respect of such Transfer, and the name and address of each proposed Buyer, accompanied, if available, by a draft share purchase agreement or other information reasonably requested by any IFC Party. If any IFC Party wishes to exercise their Tag-Along Rights, it shall give notice of the exercise (a "Tag Notice") to the Selling Shareholders within a period of thirty (30) days after such IFC Party's receipt of the Transfer Notice (the "Exercise Period") confirming the number of IFC Shares to be included in the proposed Transfer (each such participating IFC Party may include in such Tag Notice up to all of its IFC Shares) (such shares, the "Tagged Shares"). For the avoidance of doubt, no IFC Party shall be obligated to pay any fees or deal expenses (whether of the Selling Shareholder(s), any other Person or otherwise, except for expenses, if any, incurred by such IFC Party in the Transfer of its Tagged Shares) in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 2.01.
|
8
(d)
|
With respect to each proposed Transfer described in Section 2.01(a) by a Selling Shareholder, each IFC Party shall have the right to transfer all, but not less than all, of the Tagged Shares. For avoidance of doubt, the number of shares to be Transferred by the Selling Shareholders to the Buyer in such transaction is reduced by the number of Tagged Shares of each IFC Party participating in such Transfer in order to accommodate all Tagged Shares in the transaction.
|
(e)
|
Upon receipt of the Tag Notice, the Selling Shareholders shall make all necessary arrangements with the Buyer in order that the Tagged Shares may be included in the relevant transaction and purchased by the Buyer on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to price) as described in the Transfer Notice and at the same time as the sale of shares in the Company and Share Equivalents in the Company by such Selling Shareholders in the transaction. However, no IFC Party shall be required to make any representation or warranty to the Buyer, other than as to good title to the Tagged Shares, customary representations and warranties concerning such IFC Party's power and authority to undertake the proposed Transfer, and the validity and enforceability of such IFC Party's obligations in connection with the proposed Transfer.
|
(f)
|
For the avoidance of doubt, the Tag-Along Right shall apply regardless of whether the Tagged Shares are of the same class or type of shares of the Company or Share Equivalents which the Selling Shareholder(s) propose to Transfer; provided that, to the extent such a difference in class or type exists, the consideration payable to the IFC Parties for the Tagged Shares shall be calculated as if all shares of the Company and Share Equivalents held by the applicable Selling Shareholders and the IFC Parties which will be subject to a Transfer under this Section 2.01 had been converted into common shares of the Company on the date immediately prior to the date of the Tag Notice (to the extent not already in the form of common shares of the Company) at the conversion price which would be applicable on such date had such conversion occurred on such date and provided, further, that to the extent the shares or other equity interests proposed to be Transferred by the Selling Shareholder(s) are shares or other equity interests in a holding company or other indirect interest in the Company that trigger a Tag-Along Right, the consideration payment to the IFC Parties for the Tagged Shares shall be the Allocable Portion of the consideration payable for the shares or other equity interests proposed to be Transferred by the Selling Shareholder(s).
|
(g)
|
If any IFC Party delivers a Tag Notice, the Selling Shareholders shall give such IFC Party prior written notice of the closing date of the Transfer (the "Closing Date") at least seven (7) Business Days prior to Closing Date for the purchase by the Buyer of the Tagged Shares upon the terms and conditions (including with respect to price) as specified in the Transfer Notice and at the same time as the Selling Shareholders. If the Selling Shareholders do not complete such Transfer for any reason within ninety (90) days of the expiration of the Exercise Period, any proposed subsequent Transfer described in Section 2.01(a) by them shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01.
|
(h)
|
The Selling Shareholders agree that they shall not Transfer any of their shares in the Company or Share Equivalents to a Buyer in a Transfer described in Section 2.01(a) unless, at the same time, the Buyer purchases all of the Tagged Shares from the applicable IFC Party(ies) upon the terms and conditions (including with respect to price) as specified in the Transfer Notice, unless, prior to or simultaneously with such Transfer, any of the Selling Shareholders acquire all of the Tagged Shares from the applicable IFC Party(ies).
|
(i)
|
The obligations of the Itaú Parties under this Section 2.01 shall not apply at any time that the IFC Parties own, in the aggregate, a number of shares and/or Share Equivalents in the Company that constitutes a percentage ownership in the outstanding shares of the Company at such time equal to less than 1.00%.
|
9
Section 2.02 Ownership and Share Retention.

Section 2.05 IFC Exit Right. (a) The Itaú Parties (collectively, the "Grantors" whose obligations under this Section 2.05 shall be joint and several), hereby grant to each of the IFC Parties an option (the "Put Option") to sell to the Grantors, and, upon exercise of such option, the Grantors are obligated to purchase from such IFC Party, all or a part of the Put Shares (as specified by such IFC Party in the relevant Put Notice) in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05.

(ii) | the applicable IFC Party shall, immediately after receipt of the Put Price, transfer to the Grantors (in such proportions as indicated in writing by the Grantors to the applicable IFC Party no less than five Business Days prior to the Put Settlement Date) the applicable IFC Shares, free of all Liens, together with such instruments of transfer, if any, as required by the Applicable Laws of the Country to effect the transfer. |

In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent that any such dividends, distributions or return of capital are paid to the Grantors or the IFC Parties, as applicable, whether before or after the Put Price Determination Date, the Grantors or the IFC Parties, as applicable shall be deemed to hold such amounts on trust and for the benefit of the applicable IFC Party or Grantor and shall promptly pay to such IFC Party or Grantor an amount equal to the amount of such dividends, distributions or return of capital so received by it. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment shall be made as appropriate such that the IFC Party or Grantor does not receive double payment of any such dividend, distribution or return of capital.
(e) Without prejudice to the remedies available to the IFC Parties under this Agreement or otherwise, if the Grantors fail to make payment of the Put Price by the Put Settlement Date as specified pursuant to this Section 2.05, then the Grantors shall pay to the applicable IFC Party, in Dollars on demand, at a bank account designated by such IFC Party, a late payment charge which will accrue at a rate per annum of five percent (5%) above three-month LIBOR on the Dollar amount required to be paid to such IFC Party pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i), such late payment charge to accrue daily from (and including) the Put Settlement Date until (but excluding) the date the Dollar equivalent of the Put Price is paid in full, prorated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
(f) The Grantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals to effect the provisions of this Section 2.05 as promptly as practicable, including if practicable in advance of the consummation of a Change of Control. Each of the Grantors and the IFC Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to take all other such actions as are necessary to complete performance of their respective obligations under this Section 2.05.
11
(g) The Grantors shall pay to the IFC Parties, or as the IFC Parties may direct, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any of the IFC Parties in relation to enforcing its rights in connection with a breach of this Section 2.05 by the Grantors, or the exercise by any of the IFC Parties of its rights or powers consequent upon or arising out of any breach of this Section 2.05, including reasonable legal and other professional consultants' fees.
(h) All payments due under this Section 2.05 shall be made without deduction for or on account of any Taxes (other than as required by Applicable Law).
(i) The obligations of the Itaú Parties under this Section 2.05 shall not apply at any time that the IFC Parties own, in the aggregate, a number of shares and/or Share Equivalents in the Company that constitutes a percentage ownership in the outstanding shares of the Company at such time equal to less than 1.00%, in each case, as determined prior to taking into account any dilution resulting from the applicable Put Trigger Event that gave rise to the Put Option.
