/One.Three/ Definitions. The terms in capital letters and which are not expressly defined in this instrument will have the meaning assigned to them in the Loan Agreement. CLAUSE TWO: SHARES. /Two.One/ Pledged Shares. The Grantor is the exclusive owner of [ ] shares issued by CORPBANCA, hereinafter the “Pledged Shares”, which are included in the instruments of shares number [ ]. /Two.Two/ Declaration. The Grantor declares, through its representative specified in the foreword of this instrument, that the Pledged Shares are its total and exclusive property, which are duly registered in its respective name in the Shareholders Log Book of CORPBANCA and that they are fully paid-in, have full voting rights and are free of embargoes, precautionary measures, encumbrances, limitation of ownership, price balances, purchase and sale promises, shareholders’ agreements, pledge, prohibition or litigation and of any security other than that of ownership, except for the pledges constituted or committed to constitute within the scope of the Permitted Reorganization, as defined in the Loan Agreement. Likewise, the Grantor declares that there is no impediment, both with respect to the Pledged Shares, as well as with respect to itself, to enter into this Pledge Agreement and establish a pledge on said shares. In the event that this declaration made by the Grantor is false or incorrect, the Guarantee Agent will be empowered to immediately enforce all the Guaranteed Obligations. CLAUSE THREE: PLEDGE OF SECURITIES IN FAVOR OF THE BANKS, ON SHARES. By the instrument herein, the Grantor duly represented in the manner indicated in the foreword, constitutes in favor of the Guarantee Agent, who acts for the account and benefit of the Creditor, a pledge on securities in favor of the banks, in accordance with the provisions of Law number four thousand two hundred eighty-seven, dated February twenty-two, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, on all and each one the Pledged Shares, already specified in the previous clause, in order to guarantee and assure the Creditor the due, complete and timely fulfillment of each and every one of the present and future obligations that the Debtor has contracted or contracts with the Creditor, and its future assignees and/or legal successors, derived from the Loan Agreement, the Loan, the Promissory Notes and the other Loan Documents, according to the definition of these terms in the Loan Agreement, including agreed and penalty interests, readjustments, judicial or extrajudicial collection costs, commissions and any amount owed or to be owed to the Creditor, and all the obligations arising from the acts and agreements indicated above, whether those obligations are of the essence or nature of those acts or agreements, including, likewise, all their extensions, renewals, rescheduling, amendments, changes in interest rates, substitutions of guarantees, interest capitalizations, variations in time, manner and form of payment of the obligations agreed by the Debtor and the Creditor or their assignees, without any limitation, as well as the credits and documents that substitute or replace in whole or in part the guaranteed obligations, either by novation, rescheduling or any other way or by any other excuse, hereinafter the “Guaranteed Obligations”.

The pledge that is constituted by the agreement herein extends to and guarantees the interests, including penalty, the commissions, fees and other ancillary obligations to the Guaranteed Obligations in favor of the Creditor, under the Loan Agreement. This pledge also guarantees the reimbursement to the Creditor and the Guarantee Agent of the costs and expenses incurred for the collection, judicial or extrajudicial, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any, incurred due to procedures or claims for collection or foreclosure of the pledges in favor of the Creditor; and they also extend to any obligation stated in instruments that the Debtor may grant or accept in the future, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Promissory Notes and other Loan Documents, as well as due to any other document that in the future may complement said agreements. It is hereby expressly agreed that the payment of each and every one of the Guaranteed Obligations with the pledge that is constituted by this instrument will be non-severable, in such a way that the payment may not be made by installments, unless the Creditor or the Guarantee Agent expressly consents with that in writing, and, consequently, they may demand the fulfillment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

CLAUSE FOUR: PROHIBITION OF ENCUMBERING AND SELLING. The Grantor undertakes not to encumber, sale, dispose or celebrate any act or agreement on the Pledged Shares while the pledges provided for in this deed are in force, without prior written authorization of the Guarantee Agent, who hereby authorizes the Grantor to constitute the guarantees committed within the scope of the Permitted Reorganization, as defined in the Loan Agreement. These prohibitions will be registered in the Shareholders’ Log Book of CORPBANCA. The parties appearing before me declare that encumbrance shall be understood as any security or any charge, encumbrance, prohibition, right in favor of third parties, embargo, impediment or restriction that could affect or hinder the free use, enjoyment or disposition of the Pledged Shares. CLAUSE FIVE: ACCEPTANCE. The Guarantee Agent, duly represented in the manner indicated in the foreword, accepts the pledge and the prohibitions contained in this instrument and acquires the corresponding security of the pledge, all for the benefit of the Creditor. CLAUSE SIX: DELIVERY OF INSTRUMENTS. The Grantor herein delivers to the representatives of the Guarantee Agent the instruments of the Pledged Shares. The Guarantee Agent, duly represented, declares to receive them to its satisfaction and undertakes to keep them in custody while the pledges reported in this instrument are in force. CLAUSE SEVEN: EXTENSION. The pledges and prohibitions established under this agreement include and legally extend to all increases in the value of the Pledged Shares and to each of the property rights that such shares confer on their holders, and include all the proceeds and benefits that they may generate or produce, including, without the statement implying limitation, dividends and profits, shares released for payment, preemptive rights or options of any type, whether they are preferential subscription of shares, of bonds convertible into shares or any other securities that confer future rights on the company issuing said shares, as the case may be.

Likewise, provided that it is required by law to specify, the pledges constituted pursuant to this deed extend to the Grantor’s right to receive compensation in case of expropriation of the Pledged Shares, which compensation will subrogate the Pledged Shares for all legal and contractual purposes that may arise. Accordingly, the Guarantee Agent, for the benefit of the Creditor, is responsible for collecting and receiving dividends and proceeds of any type produced by the pledged shares, and is expressly authorized to pay these values to the Guaranteed Obligations only to the extent that they are due and enforceable. Likewise, the Guarantee Agent will be responsible, for the benefit of the Creditor, for collecting and receiving any return on capital that occurs in relation to the pledged shares and to pay these amounts to the Guaranteed Obligations when they are due and enforceable. In accordance with the aforementioned, the company issuing the Pledged Shares cannot pay any amount of that indicated in this agreement in any manner other than through the Guarantee Agent, with the Grantors being prohibited to collect and receive directly or through a third party that other than the Guarantee Agent, the amounts that must be paid to them by the Debtor, irrespective of the concept or nature of said payment. CLAUSE EIGHT: EXPANSION. /a/ The Grantor hereby undertakes to expand the pledge and prohibition established under this instrument to any other payment shares that it acquires within a capital increase by virtue of preemptive rights emanating of the Pledged Shares or of issued securities that confer future rights over the shares that the Grantor acquires in the future for any reason whatsoever due to preemptive rights emanating from the Pledged Shares. For these purposes, the Grantor undertakes to sign, at the simple written request of the Guarantee Agent, and promptly upon receiving said request, a new public deed of pledge of shares and prohibition to encumber and dispose of such shares or securities that it acquires in the future, in accordance with the provisions of this Clause, in terms substantially similar to this deed. /b/ Notwithstanding the obligation that the Grantor assumes to contribute to promptly signing the corresponding pledges and prohibitions, the Grantor hereby grants a special and irrevocable mandate, as its execution is also relevant for the Creditor, in accordance with Article two hundred and forty-one of the Code of Trade, but as broad as is necessary in law, to the Guarantee Agent, who hereby accepts it, so that in its name and on its behalf, immediately after the date in which those shares or securities are issued or acquired, as the case may be, and at its sole discretion, grants and signs each and every one of the corresponding pledges and prohibitions, in the name and on behalf of the Grantor, in terms and conditions substantially similar to those of this deed.

/c/ In the exercise of this mandate, the Guarantee Agent will have broad powers to agree on all the clauses of the essence and nature of the agreements that are necessary and all their incidental clauses deemed to be appropriate; to clarify, complement or modify them; to sign the public or private instruments that are required; and to carry out everything that is necessary for the due fulfillment of its commission, with express power to self-contract in its mandate. The Guarantee Agent may also, in the agreements it enters into, confer a special mandate on any of the persons specified in Clause Fourteen of this instrument, so that, when any one of them takes action, such person shall receive, on behalf of the Grantor, notifications and requirements, judicial and/or extrajudicial, in any management, procedure or proceeding, related to said pledges and the guaranteed obligations, irrespective of the applicable procedure or the court or authority, to which the consideration of the case is entrusted, so that if the attorney in fact is notified or required, the Grantor will be deemed validly represented in said management, procedure or proceeding. In any case, this special and irrevocable mandate may not be invoked by the Grantor as a cause for justifying the non-compliance with the obligations emerging from this deed. /d/ In any case, the Parties hereby expressly state that the granting of this mandate does not relieve the Grantor of the obligations to constitute the pledges and prohibitions in accordance with the provisions of letter /a/ of this Clause. Furthermore, the Grantor hereby releases the Guarantee Agent from any liability it may incur due to the fulfillment of the irrevocable mandates conferred herein.

CLAUSE NINE: SPIN-OFF OR MERGER. In the case of spin-off or merger of the company issuing the Pledged Shares, it is hereby expressly agreed that the pledges and prohibitions established under this instrument will be extended to all the shares of the new companies formed as a result of the spin-off or merger or that subsist after it, to which the Grantor is entitled or would be entitled as the owner of the Pledged Shares applicable to the pledges and the prohibitions constituted under this agreement. The Guarantee Agent is exclusively entitled to withdraw the corresponding instruments in all the previous cases and to require the registration of these pledges and prohibitions in the corresponding Shareholders’ Log Books, with the Grantor consequently renouncing to require said delivery for itself or for another person. CLAUSE TEN: EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF VOICE AND VOTE. As long as the Guaranteed Obligations are not due and enforceable, the Grantor will retain the full exercise of the rights of voice and vote that as the legitimate owner of the Pledged Shares to which it is entitled and the exercise of those other political rights to which it may be entitled. After any of the Guaranteed Obligations becomes due or enforceable/including cure periods, amount limits, and other terms of each of them/, according to the definition of this term stated in the Loan Agreement/, for this purpose, a simple written communication sent by the Creditor to the company issuing the Pledged Shares, with a copy to the Grantor, shall be sufficient, and counting from the date of said communication, and with the sole merit of it and without any person having to be credited for the maturity enforceability of the relevant obligation, the Creditor will exercise all the rights that, otherwise, would be legally held by the Grantor as the legitimate owner of the Pledged Shares. In this case, the Grantor must refrain from exercising said rights, as well as any other to which it would be entitled due to its shareholding, all of which will be fully and exclusively exercised by the Creditor, for which purposes the Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Creditor, who accepts, to exercise the right to voice and vote corresponding to the Pledged Shares. CLAUSE ELEVEN: SUFFICIENT INSTRUMENT. The Grantor recognizes that a due and authorized copy of this deed constitutes a good and sufficient instrument to initiate and continue all the actions applicable in law in relation to any of the Pledged Shares for securing the Guaranteed Obligations.

It is hereby expressly stated that the causes of acceleration, previously set forth, have been established for the exclusive benefit of the Creditor, who, consequently may exercise them or not, and in the event that the Creditor decides not to do so, this may not be understood in any way as an impairment or detriment to the rights granted to it by this Agreement or by law.
