Definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided.  No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless such Receipt shall have been executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary and, if a Registrar for the Receipts shall have been appointed, countersigned by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar.  The Depositary shall maintain books on which each Receipt so executed and delivered as hereinafter provided and the transfer of each such Receipt shall be registered.  Receipts bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of t he Depositary who was at any time a proper signatory of the Depositary shall bind the Depositary, notwithstanding that such signatory has ceased to hold such office prior to the execution and delivery of such Receipts by the Registrar or did not hold such office on the date of issuance of such Receipts.

The Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or modifications not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement as may be required (i) by the Depositary, after consultation with the Company or (ii) to comply with any applicable law or regulations, any provisions of the Company’s Bylaws or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the American Depositary Shares may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Receipts are subject by reason of the date or manner of issuance of the underlying Deposited Securities or otherwise.

The Receipts shall bear a CUSIP number that is different from any CUSIP number that is or may be assigned to any other depositary receipt facility relating to the Shares.

The Receipts shall be typewritten, engraved, lithographed, printed, produced in such other manner as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Depositary.  

Title to a Receipt (and to the American Depositary Shares evidenced thereby), when properly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument or instruments of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument under the laws of New York; provided, however, that the Depositary and the Company, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the Owner thereof as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes, and neither the Depositary nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any holder of a Receipt unless such holder is the Owner thereof.

SECTION 2.02

Deposit of Shares.  

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, Shares or evidence of rights to receive Shares may be deposited by delivery thereof to the Custodian hereunder, accompanied by any appropriate instrument or instruments of transfer, or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Custodian, together with all such certifications, payments and evidence of payments as may be required by the Depositary, the Custodian or the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, and, if the Depositary requires, together with a written order directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of American Depositary Shares representing such deposit.

No Shares shall be accepted for deposit unless accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that any necessary approval has been granted by any governmental body in Chile that is then performing the function of the regulation of currency exchange.

If the person proposing to deposit Shares is not domiciled or resident in Chile, the Custodian shall not accept those Shares unless it receives from or on behalf of that person an instrument whereby that person assigns and transfers to the Depositary any rights it may have under Chilean regulations relating to currency exchange.  The Custodian shall give notice to the Central Bank of the assignment of any rights referred to in the preceding sentence to the extent required by Chilean law or regulations.

If required by the Depositary, Shares presented for deposit at any time, whether or not the transfer books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are closed, shall also be accompanied by (i) an agreement or assignment, or other instrument satisfactory to the Depositary, which will provide for the prompt transfer to the Custodian of any dividend, or right to subscribe for additional Shares or to receive other property which any person in whose name the Shares are or have been recorded may thereafter receive upon or in respect of such deposited Shares, or in lieu thereof, such agreement of indemnity or other agreement as shall be satisfactory to the Depositary and (ii) if the Shares are registered in the name of the person on whose behalf they are deposited, a proxy or proxies entitling the Custodian to vote such deposited Shares for any and all purp oses until the Shares are registered in the name of the Custodian or its nominee.

At the request and risk and expense of any person proposing to deposit Shares, and for the account of such person, the Depositary may receive certificates for Shares to be deposited, together with the other instruments herein specified, for the purpose of forwarding such Share certificates to the Custodian for deposit hereunder.

The Depositary and the Custodian shall each refuse to accept Shares for deposit whenever it has been notified, as hereafter provided, that such deposit would result in a violation of the Bylaws of the Company or applicable laws.  The Company shall notify the Depositary and the Custodian in writing with respect to any such restrictions on transfer of its Shares for deposit hereunder.

Upon each delivery to a Custodian of a certificate or certificates for Shares to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents above specified, such Custodian shall, as soon as transfer and recordation can be accomplished, present such certificate or certificates to the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, for transfer and recordation of the Shares being deposited in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or such Custodian or its nominee, at the cost and expense of the holder making such deposit.

Deposited Securities shall be held by the Depositary or by a Custodian for the account and to the order of the Depositary or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine.

SECTION 2.03

Execution and Delivery of Receipts.  

Upon receipt by any Custodian of any deposit pursuant to Section 2.02 hereunder (and in addition, if the transfer books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are open, the Depositary may in its sole reasonable discretion require a proper acknowledgment or other evidence from the Company or the Foreign Registrar that any Deposited Securities have been recorded upon the transfer books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or such Custodian or its nominee), together with the other documents and payments as specified above and pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 5.09, such Custodian shall notify the Depositary of such deposit and the person or persons to whom or upon whose written order a Receipt or Receipts are deliverable in respect thereof and the number of American Depositary Shares to be evidenc ed thereby.  Such notification shall be made by letter or, at the request, risk and expense of the person making the deposit, by air courier, cable, telex or facsimile transmission.  Upon receiving such notice from such Custodian, or upon the receipt of Shares by the Depositary, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall, without unreasonable delay, execute and deliver at its Corporate Trust Office, to or upon the order of the person or persons entitled thereto, a Receipt or Receipts, registered in the name or names and evidencing any authorized number of American Depositary Shares requested by such person or persons, but only upon payment to the Depositary of the fees and expenses of the Depositary for the execution and delivery of such Receipt or Receipts as provided in Section 5.09, and of all taxes and governmental charges and fees and expenses payable in connection with such deposit and the transfer of the Deposited Securities.

SECTION 2.04

Registration of Transfer of Receipts; Combination and Split-up of Receipts.  

The Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall, without unreasonable delay, register transfers of Receipts on its transfer books from time to time, upon any surrender of a Receipt, by the Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, and funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer taxes and the expenses of the Depositary, and duly stamped as may be required by the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America.  Thereupon the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing the same aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as evidenced by the Receipts surrendered and deliver the same to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto.

The Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts for any authorized number of American Depositary Shares requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.

The Depositary, upon at least 20 days’ prior written notice to the Company, may appoint one or more co-transfer agents for the purpose of effecting transfers, combinations and split-ups of Receipts at designated transfer offices on behalf of the Depositary.  Such co-transfer agents may be removed, and substitutes appointed by the Depositary, upon at least 20 days’ prior written notice to the Company.  The Depositary shall require each co-transfer agent that it appoints under this Section 2.04 to  give notice in writing to the Depositary accepting such appointment and agreeing to be bound by the applicable terms of this Deposit Agreement.  In carrying out its functions, a co-transfer agent may require evidence of authority and compliance with applicable laws and other requirements by Owners or persons entitled to Receipts and will be entitle d to protection and indemnity to the same extent as the Depositary.

SECTION 2.05

Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Shares.

Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of a Receipt for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts as provided in Section 5.09 and payment of all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such surrender and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities and upon delivery of any certifications required under the laws of Chile and the regulations of the Central Bank of Chile (including any certifications that the Owner’s residence and domicile are outside of Chile), if applicable, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Bylaws, any applicable laws or regulations and the terms and conditions of or governing the Deposited Securities, in each case as in effect at the date of that surrender, the Owner of such Receipt shall be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.  Delivery of such Deposited Securities may be made by the delivery of (a) certificates for Shares in the name of such Owner or as ordered by him or certificates for Shares properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to such Owner or as ordered by him and (b) any other securities, property and cash to which such Owner is then entitled in respect of such Receipts to such Owner or as ordered by him.  Such delivery shall be made, as hereinafter provided, without unreasonable delay.

A Receipt surrendered for such purposes may be required by the Depositary to be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer in blank, and if the Depositary so requires, the Owner thereof shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order directing the Depositary to cause (i) the transfer of the Shares represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt to an account in the name of the Owner or such other name as the Owner may direct or (ii) the Deposited Securities being withdrawn to be delivered to or upon the written order of a person or persons designated in such order.  Thereupon the Depositary shall direct the Custodian to deliver at the office of such Custodian, subject to Sections 2.06, 3.01 and 3.02 and to the other terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Bylaws, any applicable laws or regulations and the terms and conditions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to or upon the written order of the person or persons designated in the order delivered to the Depositary as above provided, the amount of Deposited Securities (including evidence of transfer of the Shares, if applicable) represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, except that the Depositary may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make delivery to such person or persons at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of any evidence of transfer, dividends or distributions with respect to the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, or of any proceeds of sale of any dividends, distributions or rights, which may at the time be held by the Depositary.  

At the request, risk and expense of any Owner so surrendering a Receipt, and for the account of such Owner, the Depositary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall direct the Custodian to transfer or forward any cash or other property (other than rights) comprising, and forward a certificate or certificates and other proper documents of title for, the Deposited Securities (including evidence of transfer of the Shares) represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt to the Depositary for delivery at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Bylaws, any applicable laws or regulations and the terms and conditions of or governing the Deposited Securities, in each case as in effect at the time thereof.  Such direction shall be given by letter or, at the request, risk and expense of such Owner, by air courier, cable, telex or facsimile transmission.

For purposes of tax rulings dated January 29, 1990 and October 1, 1999 issued by the Chilean Internal Revenue Service regarding certain tax matters relating to American depositary shares and American depositary receipts, the acquisition value of any Share or other Deposited Security upon its withdrawal by an Owner upon surrender of the corresponding Receipt shall be the highest reported sale price of such Share or other Deposited Security on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, Bolsa de Valores  (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”) on the date on which the transfer of such Share or other Deposited Security from the Depositary to such Owner is recorded on the books of the Foreign Registrar.  In the event that the Shares or other Deposited Securities are not then traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange, such value shall be the highest reported sales pric e on the principal stock exchange or other organized securities market in Chile on which such Shares or other Deposited Securities are then traded.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the exchanged shares are sold by the Owner in a Chilean stock exchange on the same day on which the transfer is recorded on the books of the Foreign Registrar or within the two Chilean Business Days prior to the date on which the sale is recorded on those books, the acquisition price of such exchanged shares shall be the price registered in the invoice issued by the stockbroker that participated in the sale transaction.  In the event that no such sales price is reported on the day on which such transfer is recorded on the books of the Foreign Registrar, such value shall be deemed to be the highest sales price reported on the last day on which such sales price was reported; provided, however, that if such day is more than 30 days prior to the date of such transfer, such price shall be increa sed (or decreased) by the percentage increase (or decrease) over the corresponding period in the Chilean consumer price index as reported by the pertinent governmental authority of Chile.

SECTION 2.06

Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer and Surrender of Receipts.  

As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination or surrender of any Receipt or transfer and withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, Company, Custodian, Registrar or Foreign Registrar, if any, (i) may require payment from the depositor of Shares or the presenter of the Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as provided herein or in the Receipt, (ii) may require the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature, (iii) may require delivery of such certifications as the Company may from time to time specify in writing to th e Depositary to assure the Company of compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (iv) may require compliance with any regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.06, and (v) may also require compliance with any laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of Deposited Securities as may be established by any governmental authority in Chile or the United States.

The delivery of Receipts against deposit of Shares generally or against deposit of particular Shares may be suspended or deposits of Shares may be refused, or the transfer of Receipts in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer, split-up or combination of outstanding Receipts may be suspended generally or in particular instances, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary, the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or any securities exchange on which the American Depositary Shares or Shares are listed or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement or the p rovisions governing the Deposited Securities, or for any other reason.  The Depositary shall comply with written instructions of the Company that the Depositary shall not accept for deposit hereunder any Shares identified in such instructions at such times and under such circumstances as may reasonably be specified in such instructions in order to facilitate the Company’s compliance with the securities laws in the United States.

The Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under this Deposit Agreement any Shares that would be required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act for the public offer and sale thereof in the United States, unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Shares for such offer and sale.

Without limiting the foregoing, Shares that the Depositary believes have been withdrawn from a restricted depositary receipt facility established or maintained by a depositary bank (including any such other facility maintained by the Depositary) may be accepted for deposit hereunder only if those Shares are not “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and the Depositary may, as a condition of accepting those Shares for deposit hereunder, require the person depositing those Shares to provide the Depositary with a certificate to the foregoing effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deposit Agreement or the Receipts, the surrender of outstanding Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may not be suspended, subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Securities.

SECTION 2.07

Lost Receipts, etc.  

In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt of like tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt.  Before the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt in substitution for a destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, the Owner thereof shall have (a) filed with the Depositary (i) a request for such execution and delivery before the Depositary has notice that the Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser and (ii) a sufficient indemnity bond and (b) satisfied any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.08

Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts.  

All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary shall be canceled by the Depositary.  The Depositary is authorized to destroy Receipts so canceled, subject to Section 2.10.

SECTION 2.09

Pre-Release of Receipts.  

Unless requested in writing by the Company to cease doing so, the Depositary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may, notwithstanding Section 2.03 hereof, execute and deliver Receipts prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.02 (a “Pre-Release”).  The Depositary may, pursuant to Section 2.05, deliver Shares upon the receipt and cancellation of Receipts which have been Pre-Released, whether or not such cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such Receipt has been Pre-Released.  The Depositary may receive Receipts in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release.  Each Pre-Release will be (a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom Receipts or Shares are to be delivered, that such person, or its customer, (i) owns the Shares or Receipts to b e remitted, as the case may be, (ii) assigns all beneficial right, title and interest in such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, to the Depositary in its capacity as such and for the benefit of the Owners, and (iii) will not take any action with respect to such Shares and Receipts, as the case may be, that is inconsistent with the transfer of beneficial ownership (including without the consent of the Depositary, disposing of such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, other than in satisfaction of such Pre-Release), (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary determines, in good faith, will provide similar liquidity and security, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) New York Business Days notice, and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate.  The number of Shares represented by American Depositary Shares which are outstanding at any time as a re sult of Pre-Release will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares deposited hereunder; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to disregard such limit from time to time as it deems reasonably appropriate and may, with the prior written consent of the Company, change that limit for purposes of general application.

The collateral referred to in clause (b) above shall be held by the Depositary for the benefit of the Owners as security for the performance of the obligations to deliver Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, in satisfaction of a Pre-Release transaction (and shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute Deposited Securities hereunder).

The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in connection with the foregoing.

The Company shall have no liability to any owner in connection with any Pre-Release.

SECTION 2.10

Maintenance of Records.  

The Depositary agrees to maintain or cause its agents to maintain records of all Receipts surrendered and Deposited Securities withdrawn under Section 2.05, substitute Receipts delivered under Section 2.07, and of cancelled or destroyed Receipts under Section 2.08, in accordance with procedures ordinarily followed by stock transfer agents located in The City of New York or as required by the laws or regulations governing the Depositary.  The Depositary agrees to make such records available to the Company upon reasonable request.

ARTICLE 3.

CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF OWNERS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF RECEIPTS

SECTION 3.01

Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information.

Any person presenting Shares for deposit or any Owner or Beneficial Owner of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary or the Custodian such proof of identity, citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, legal or beneficial ownership of Receipts, Deposited Securities or other securities, compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, all applicable provisions governing Deposited Securities, and the terms of this Deposit Agreement or such information relating to the registration on the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, of the Shares presented for deposit or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties, as the Depositary may deem necessary or proper or as the Company may reasonably require by written request to the Depositary or the Custodian.   The Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of transfer of any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or sale or distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. The Depositary shall provide to the Company, as promptly as practicable, upon its request, copies of any such proof or citizenship or residence or other information referred to above so requested, to the extent that disclosure is permitted under applicable law.

SECTION 3.02

Liability of Owner or Beneficial Owner for Taxes.

If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to any Receipt or any Deposited Securities represented by any Receipt, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner or Beneficial Owner of such Receipt to the Depositary.  The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration of transfer of such Receipt or any split-up or combination thereof or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner or Beneficial Owner thereof any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, and may apply such dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge and the Owner or Beneficial Owner of such Receipt shall remain liable for any deficiency.

SECTION 3.03

Warranties on Deposit of Shares.  

Every person depositing Shares under this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares and each certificate therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so.  In addition, every person depositing Shares shall also be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares are not, and American Depositary Shares representing such Shares would not be, Restricted Securities.  All representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements required by this Section 3.03 shall survive the deposit of Shares and the issuance and delivery of Receipts.

SECTION 3.04

Disclosure of Interests.  

The Company may from time to time request Owners or Beneficial Owners or former owners or Beneficial Owners to provide information as to the capacity in which they hold or held Receipts and regarding the identity of any other persons then or previously interested in such Receipts and the nature of such interest and various other matters.  Each such Owner or Beneficial Owner agrees to provide any such information reasonably requested by the Company or the Depositary pursuant to this Section 3.04 whether or not still an Owner or Beneficial owner at the time of such request.  The Depositary agrees to comply with reasonable written instructions received from the Company requesting that the Depositary forward any such requests to such Owners or Beneficial Owners and to the last known address, if any, of such former Owners or Beneficial Owners and to forward to the Company any responses to such requests received by the Depositary, and to use its reasonable efforts, at the Company’s request and expense, to assist the Company in obtaining such information with respect to the American Depositary Shares.  However, nothing in this Section 3.04 shall be interpreted as obligating the Depositary to provide or obtain any such information not provided to the Depositary by such Owners or Beneficial Owners or former Owners or Beneficial Owners.

SECTION 3.05

Compliance with Chilean Law.  

Pursuant to Circular Letters of the SVS, Owners are deemed, for certain purposes of Chilean law, to be treated as owners of Shares.  Accordingly, Owners shall, as a matter of Chilean law, be obligated and by holding American Depositary Shares shall be deemed to agree to comply with the obligations that shareholders have in Chile including, without limitation, the requirements of Articles 12 and 54 and Title XV of Law 18,045 of Chile and the regulations issued by the SVS in connection therewith.

Article 12 requires that, among other things, shareholders of a Chilean corporation report to the SVS and the stock exchanges in Chile on which those shares are listed:

(i)

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of Receipts that results in the Owner acquiring or ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total share capital of such corporation; and

(ii)

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares or options to buy or sell shares, in any amount, made by (a) a holder that owns shares representing 10% or more of such corporation’s shares or (b) a director, liquidator, general manager, manager or holder of certain other offices of such corporation.

In addition, shareholders required to report under clause (i) or (ii)(a) above  must state in their report whether their purpose is to acquire control of the corporation or if they are making a financial investment.  A beneficial owner of American Depositary Shares representing 10% or more of the Company’s share capital will be subject to the above reporting requirements under Chilean law.

Under Article 54 of Law 18,045 of Chile and the regulations of the SVS,  persons or entities intending to acquire control, directly or indirectly (as defined in Title XV of Law 18,045), of  a publicly traded company, including through acquisitions to be made through direct subscriptions or private transactions, are required to inform the public of that intention as soon as negotiations regarding the change of control begin (i.e., when information and documents concerning the target are delivered to the potential acquirer), but in any case at least 10 Chilean Business Days before the date on which the transaction is to be completed, by publishing a notice in two Chilean newspapers, which notice must disclose, among other information, the person or entity purchasing, the proposed price, and the status of any negotiations.  Before making the publication referred to in the preceding sentence, the person or entity must send a written communication containing the same information to be published to the target corporation, the controlling corporation, the corporations controlled by the target corporation, the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges on which the company’s securities are listed.

In addition to the foregoing, Article 54A of Law 18,045 of Chile requires that, within the two Chilean Business Days following completion of the transactions pursuant to which a person has acquired control of a publicly traded company, (i) a notice must be published in the same newspapers in which the publication referred to in Article 54 has been made and (ii) notices must be sent to the same persons indicated in Article 54.

Finally, Title XV of Law 18,045 regulates public offerings for the acquisition of shares of a publicly held Chilean stock company, including definitions, mandatory public offerings, exemptions and the principal features and requisites that such a process shall comply with.

ARTICLE 4.

THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES

SECTION 4.01

Cash Distributions.  

Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, subject to the provisions of Section 4.05, convert such dividend or distribution into Dollars and shall distribute, as promptly as practicable, the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09) to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively; provided, however, that in the event that the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash dividend or such other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owner of the Receipts evidenci ng American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly.  The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Owner a fraction of one cent.  Any such fractional amounts shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole cent (with fractions of $.005 or more being rounded up) and so distributed to Owners entitled thereto.  The Company or its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental agency in Chile all amounts withheld and owing to such agency.  The Depositary will forward, as promptly as practicable, to the Company or its agent such information from its records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental agencies, and the Depositary or the Company or its agent may file any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under the applicable tax treaties for the Owners of Receipts.

SECTION 4.02

Distributions Other Than Cash, Shares or Rights.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.11 and 5.09, whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than a distribution described in Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04, the Depositary shall, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, as promptly as practicable, cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, after deduction or upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary or any taxes or other governmental charges, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proporti onately among the Owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the Securities Act in order to be distributed to Owners or Beneficial Owners) the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, adopt such method as it may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09) and any taxes or governmental charges shall be distributed by the Depositary to the Owners entitled thereto, without unreasonable delay, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01.  The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under this Section 4.02 if it has not received satisfactory assurances from the Company that the distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act or is exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act or is exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act.  To the extent that such securities or property or the net proceeds thereof is not effectively distributed to Owners as provided in this Section 4.02, the same shall constitute Deposited Securities and each American Depositary Share shall thereafter also represent its proportionate interest in such securities, property or net proceeds.

SECTION 4.03

Distributions in Shares.  

If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, and shall, if the Company shall so request in writing, distribute, as promptly as practicable, to the Owners of outstanding Receipts entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, additional Receipts evidencing an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and the issuance of American Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 and the payment of the fees and expenses of th e Depositary as provided in Section 5.09.  In lieu of delivering Receipts for fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute, as promptly as practicable, the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01.  If additional Receipts are not so distributed, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby.

SECTION 4.04

Rights.

In the event that the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after consultation with the Company, shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or by reason of applicable law, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse.  If at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary reasonably determines, after consultation with the Company, that it is lawful and fea sible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners but not to other Owners, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company, distribute to any Owner to whom it determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other instruments therefor in such form as it deems reasonably appropriate.

In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an Owner of Receipts requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of such Owner hereunder, the Depositary will, as promptly as practicable, make such rights available to such Owner upon written notice from the Company to the Depositary that (a) the Company has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (b) such Owner has executed such documents as the Company has determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law.

If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain Owners, then upon instruction from such an Owner pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to the Depositary for the account of such Owner of an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Owner, exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner.  As agent for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares so purchased to be deposited pursuant to Section&nb sp;2.02 of this Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver Receipts to such Owner.  In the case of a distribution pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 4.04, such Receipts shall be legended in accordance with applicable U.S. law and shall be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation and transfer under such laws.

If the Depositary reasonably determines, after consultation with the Company, that it is not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it shall use its reasonable efforts to sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 and all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise, and distribute such net proceeds to the Owners entitled to them as in the case of a distribution of cash.

Except as otherwise provided in the third preceding paragraph, the Depositary will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from or not subject to such registration under the Securities Act  with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such Act; provided, that nothing in this Deposit Agreement shall create, or shall be construed to create, any obligation on the part of the Company to file a registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a registration statement declared effective.  If an Owner of Receipts requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration under the Securities Act, the Depositary shall not effect such d istribution unless it has received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Owner is exempt from or not subject to such registration requirements.

Neither the Company nor the Depositary shall be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular.

SECTION 4.05

Conversion of Foreign Currency.  

Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from the sale of securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign currency so received can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United States, the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, convert or cause to be converted, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign currency into Dollars, and such Dollars shall, as promptly as practicable, be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such warrants and/or instruments, as applicable, up on surrender thereof for cancellation in whole or in part depending upon the terms of such warrants or other instruments.  Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise and shall be net of any taxes, governmental charges or expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09.

If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of, or requires a filing with, any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall, without unreasonable delay, file such application for approval or license, or make such filing, if any, as it may deem desirable.

If at any time the Depositary or the Custodian shall determine that in its reasonable judgment that any foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof that is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained, at a reasonable cost or within a reasonable period, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled to receive the same.

If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its reasonable discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled thereto and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto.

SECTION 4.06

Fixing of Record Date.  

Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights shall be issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of the fixing of a record date by the Company for the determination of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient, the Depositary shall fix a record date (which shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by the Company) (a) for the determination of the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, subject to the provisions hereof, or in respect of such changed number of Deposited Securities represented by each American Depositary Share or in respect of such other matter or (iii) who shall be responsible for any fee or charges assessed by the Depositary pursuant to this Deposit Agreement, or (b) on or after which each American Depositary Share will represent the changed number of Shares.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.01 through 4.05 and to the other terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Owners at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled, as the case may be, to receive the amount distributable by the Depositary with respect to such dividend or other distribution or such rights or the net proceeds of sale thereof in proportion to the nu mber of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively, to give voting instructions or to act in respect of any other such matter.

SECTION 4.07

Voting of Deposited Securities.  

Upon receipt from the Company of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities are entitled to vote or solicitation of proxies or consents of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, if requested in writing by the Company, as soon as practicable thereafter, fix a record date as provided in Section 4.06 and mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be previously provided to the Company for its review and comment and which shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and in the solicitation materials, if any, received by the Depositary from the Company, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled under the terms of this Deposit Agreement, subject to any applicable provision of Chilean law and of the Bylaws or similar document of the Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares and (c) a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given, including an express indication that, if the Depositary does not receive instructions, it may deem instructions to have been given under the last sentence of this paragraph to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company.  Upon the written request of an Owner of a Receipt on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable and permitted under the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the Company’s Bylaws, applicable laws and regulations and the terms and conditions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to vote or cause to be voted the amou nt of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by that Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request.  The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to Deposited Securities other than in accordance with instructions received from Owners or deemed received under the following sentence.  If (i) the Company made a request to the Depositary as contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 4.07 and complied with the following paragraph of this Section 4.07 and (ii)  no instructions are received by the Depositary from an Owner with respect to an amount of Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by that Owner’s Receipts on or before the date established by the Depositary for that purpose, the Depositary shall deem that Owner to have instructed the Depositary to give, and the Depositary shall give, a discretionary proxy to a person des ignated by the Company with respect to that amount of Deposited Securities, except that  that such instruction shall not be deemed to have been given and the Depositary shall not give a discretionary proxy with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide that information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) the Company does not wish to receive a discretionary proxy, (y) substantial opposition exists by Owners or (z) the matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Shares.

In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if the Company will request the Depositary to act under the preceding paragraph, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of any such meeting or solicitation and details concerning the matters to be voted upon not less than 30 days prior to the meeting date or date for giving proxies or consents.

There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in particular will receive a notice required by this Section 4.07 sufficiently prior to the date established by the Depositary to ensure that the Depositary will be able to vote or give voting instructions with respect to the Deposited Securities in accordance with this Section 4.07.

 Subject to the rules of any securities exchange on which American Depositary Shares or the Deposited Securities represented thereby are listed, at least three (3) New York Business Days prior to the date of such meeting, the Depositary shall, if requested in writing by the Company, deliver to the Company, to the attention of its Secretary, copies of all instructions received from Owners in accordance with which the Depositary will vote, or cause to be voted, the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares at such meeting.  Delivery of instructions will be made at the expense of the Company provided that payments of such expense shall not be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Depositary under this Section.

SECTION 4.08

Changes Affecting Deposited Securities.  

In circumstances where the provisions of Section 4.03 do not apply, upon any change in nominal value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, any securities or other property that shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for or in conversion of or in respect of Deposited Securities, shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under this Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares shall thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities so received in exchange or conversion, unless additional Receipts are delivered pursuant to the following sentence.  In any such case the Depositary may, a nd shall if the Company shall so request, subject to this Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new Deposited Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Depositary reasonably determines that any securities or property so received may not be lawfully or practicably distributed to all or certain Owners, the Depositary may sell such securities or property at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (after payment of the expenses thereof, the fees of the Depositary and any taxes or governmental charges) for the account of the Owners otherwise entitled to such securities or property upon an average or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners and distribute the net proceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution received in cash pursuant to Section 4.01.  Promptly upon receipt of notice from the Company pursuant to Section 5.06 of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in the first sentence of this Section, the Depositary shall give notice thereof, at the Company’s expense, to all Owners if the event affects holdings of American Depositary Shares.

In the event that Shares are to be redeemed and, as a result, Shares registered in the name of the Custodian are called for redemption by the Company, the Depositary will call for the redemption of American Depositary Shares (in aggregate number representing the number of Shares registered in the name of the Custodian called for redemption) and may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable to select the American Depositary Shares called for redemption.

SECTION 4.09

Reports.  

The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Owners at its Corporate Trust Office any reports, notices and communications, including any proxy soliciting material, received from the Company which are both (a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b) made generally available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company.  The Depositary shall also send to the Owners copies of such reports, notices and communications when furnished by the Company pursuant to Section 5.06.  Any such reports, notices and communications, including any such proxy soliciting material, furnished to the Depositary by the Company shall be furnished in English, to the extent such materials are required to be translated into English pursuant to any regulations of the Commission.

SECTION 4.10

Lists of Owners.  

Promptly upon request by the Company, the Depositary shall, at the expense of the Company (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Depositary), furnish to it a list, as promptly as practicable, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of American Depositary Shares by all persons in whose names Receipts are registered on the books of the Depositary.

SECTION 4.11

Withholding.

In connection with any distribution to Owners, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency (or other appropriate entity) all amounts (if any) required to be withheld by the Company and owing to such authority or agency by the Company (or by the Owners that would otherwise receive such amounts); and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency (or other appropriate entity) all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian or by the Owners that would otherwise receive such amounts.  The Depositary will forward to the Company such information from its records as the Company or its agents may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agents to file necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies, and eit her the Company or the Depositary may file, but shall not be obligated to file, any such reports necessary to obtain benefits under any applicable tax treaties or laws for Owners.  As a condition to receiving benefits under the preceding sentence, Owners of American Depositary Shares may be required from time to time, and in a timely manner, to file such proof of taxpayer status, residence and beneficial ownership (as applicable), to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties, or to provide any other information or documents, as the Depositary or the Custodian may deem necessary or proper to fulfill the Depositary’s or the Custodian’s obligations under applicable law.  The Owners shall indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest ar ising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained.

The Depositary shall report to the Owners any taxes or governmental charges withheld from or paid out of a distribution on Deposited Securities by it, the Custodian, or to the extent such information is received from the Company, the Company.

In the event that the Depositary reasonably determines that any distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary reasonably deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes or governmental charges and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such distribution after deduction of such taxes or governmental charges to the Owners entitled thereto in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively.

The Depositary shall keep books, at its Corporate Trust Office, for the registration of Receipts and transfers of Receipts which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners and the Company, provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners in the interest of a business or object other than the business of the Company or a matter related to this Deposit Agreement, combinations and split-ups or the Receipts.

The Depositary may close the transfer books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, and shall close them upon the reasonable written request of the Company.  The Depositary will notify the Company of any closure under the preceding sentence that is other than in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 5.03

Obligations of the Depositary, the Custodian and the Company.  

The Company assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to Owners, Beneficial Owners or other persons, except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

The Depositary assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any Owner, Beneficial Owner or other person (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the Receipts on behalf of any Owner, Beneficial Owner or other person.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any governmental authority, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information.  Each of the Depositary and the Company may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary.

The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or nonaction is in good faith.

No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act is intended by any provision of this Deposit Agreement.

SECTION 5.04

Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary.  

The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by written notice of its election to do so delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided which appointment shall be on terms satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion.

The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by 90 days’ prior written notice of such removal, to become effective upon the later of (i) the 90th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary or (ii) the appointment of a successor depositary satisfactory to the Company and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided which appointment shall be on terms satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion.

In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall use its efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.  Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor, nevertheless, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign , transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Deposited Securities to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a current and accurate list of the Owners of all outstanding Receipts together with any materials, data or computer records reasonably necessary for such successor to perform its obligations hereunder.  Any such successor depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the Owners.

Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged or consolidated shall be the successor of the Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act.

SECTION 5.05

The Custodian.  

The Custodian shall be subject at all times and in all respects to the directions of the Depositary and shall be responsible solely to it.  The Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder by notice of such resignation delivered to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the date on which such resignation is to become effective.  If, upon the effectiveness of such resignation there would be no Custodian acting under this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, as promptly as practicable after receiving such notice, appoint a substitute custodian, which shall thereafter be a Custodian hereunder.  Whenever the Depositary in its reasonable discretion determines that it is in the best interest of the Owners to do so, it may, after consultation with the Company to the ext ent practicable, appoint a substitute or additional custodian or custodians, each of which shall thereafter be a Custodian hereunder.  To the extent practicable, the Depositary shall notify the Company of the appointment of a substitute or additional Custodian at lease 20 days prior to the date on which such appointment is to become effective.  Upon demand of the Depositary, any Custodian shall deliver such of the Deposited Securities held by it as are requested of it to any other Custodian.  Each substitute or additional custodian shall deliver to the Depositary, forthwith upon its appointment, an acceptance of such appointment satisfactory in form and substance to the Depositary.  As promptly as practicable after any such change, the Depositary shall give notice thereof in writing to the Company.

Upon the appointment of any successor depositary hereunder, the Custodian then acting hereunder shall forthwith become, without any further act or writing, the agent hereunder of such successor depositary and the appointment of such successor depositary shall in no way impair the authority of each Custodian hereunder; but the successor depositary so appointed shall, nevertheless, on the written request of any Custodian, execute and deliver to that Custodian all such instruments as may be proper to give to that Custodian full and complete power and authority as agent hereunder of such successor depositary.

SECTION 5.06

Notices and Reports.

On or before the first date on which the Company gives notice, by publication or otherwise, of any meeting or solicitation of proxies or consents of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or of any adjourned meeting of such holders, or of the taking of any action in respect of any cash or other distributions or the offering of any rights in respect of Deposited Securities, the Company agrees to transmit to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy of the notice thereof in English but otherwise in the form given or to be given to holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities.  

The Company will arrange for the translation into English, if not already in English, to the extent required pursuant to any regulations of the Commission, and the transmittal, as promptly as reasonably practicable, by the Company to the Depositary and the Custodian any notices, reports and communications (other than notices to which the preceding paragraph applies) that are made generally available by the Company to holders of its Shares.  If requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary will arrange for the mailing, at the Company’s expense (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Depositary), of copies of such notices, reports and communications to all Owners.  The Company will timely provide the Depositary with the quantity of such notices, reports, and communications, as requested by the Depositary from time to time, in o rder for the Depositary to effect such mailings.

The Company will deliver to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy (in English or with an English translation) of all provisions of or governing the Shares and any other Deposited Securities.  Promptly upon any change in such provisions, the Company shall deliver promptly to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy (in English or with an English translation) of such provisions as so changed.  The Depositary and its agents may rely on the copy of such provisions as so delivered for all purposes of this Deposit Agreement.

SECTION 5.07

Distribution of Additional Shares, Rights, etc.  

The Company agrees that in the event of issuance or distribution of (1) additional Shares, (2) rights to subscribe for Shares, (3) securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, or (4) rights to subscribe for any such securities, including, without limitation, the circumstances described in Section 4.08 hereof (each a “Distribution”), the Company will notify the Depositary in writing as soon as practicable and in any event before the Distribution starts and, if reasonably requested in writing by the Depositary, shall promptly furnish to the Depositary a written opinion from United States counsel for the Company, which counsel shall be reasonable satisfactory to the Depositary, stating whether or not the Distribution requires a registration statement under the Securities Act to be in effect prior to making such Distribution availabl e to Owners entitled thereto.  If in the opinion of such counsel a registration statement is required, such written opinion shall include a statement to the effect as to whether or not there is a registration statement in effect which will cover such Distribution.

In any event that registration under the Securities Act would be required in connection with any such Distribution if made to Owners, the Company shall have no obligation to effect such registration.  To the extent the Company in its discretion deems it necessary or advisable in order to avoid any requirement or register such additional securities under the Securities Act, the Company may prevent Owners in the United States from receiving any such Distributions or purchasing any such additional securities (whether pursuant to preemptive right or otherwise) and give the Depositary written instructions directing the Depositary not to accept any Shares or other securities for deposit for such period of time following the issuance of such additional securities and to adopt such other specific measures as the Company may reasonably request in writing.  The Deposita ry agrees with the Company that it shall use reasonable efforts to comply with such instructions it receives from the Company.

The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company will at any time deposit any Shares, either originally issued or previously issued and reacquired by the Company or any such affiliate, unless a Registration Statement is in effect as to such Shares under the Securities Act.

SECTION 5.08

Indemnification.

The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates and any Custodian acting in connection with this Deposit Agreement (the “Indemnified Persons”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability or expense (including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of or in connection with (a) any registration with the Commission of American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or the offer or sale of those securities in the United States, except to the extent such liability or expense arises out of information (or omissions from such information) relating to an Indemnified Person, furnished to the Company by the Depositary expressly for use in connection with any registration with the Commission of Deposited Securities or the offer or sale of those securitie s in the United States and not materially changed by the Company or (b) acts performed or omitted, pursuant to the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and of the Receipts, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, (i) by any Indemnified Person, except for any liability or expense arising out of the negligence or bad faith of any of them, or (ii) by the Company or any of its directors, employees, agents and affiliates.

The indemnities contained in the preceding paragraph shall not extend to any liability or expense which arises solely and exclusively out of a Pre-Release (as defined in Section 2.09) of a Receipt or Receipts in accordance with Section 2.09 and which would not otherwise have arisen had such Receipt or Receipts not been the subject of a Pre-Release pursuant to Section 2.09; provided, however, that the indemnities provided in the preceding paragraph shall apply to any such liability or expense (i) to the extent that such liability or expense would have arisen had a Receipt or Receipts not been the subject of a Pre-Release, or (ii) which may arise out of any misstatement or alleged misstatement or omission or alleged omission in any registration statement, proxy statement, prospectus (or placement memorandum), or preliminary prospectus (or preliminary placeme nt memorandum) relating to the offer or sale of American Depositary Shares, except to the extent any such liability or expense arises out of (i) information relating to the Depositary or any Custodian (other than the Company), as applicable, furnished in writing and not materially changed or altered by the Company expressly for use in any of the foregoing documents, or, (ii) if such information is provided, the failure to state a material fact necessary to make the information provided not misleading.

The Depositary agrees to indemnify the Company, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates and hold them harmless from any liability or expense (including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Depositary or its Custodian or their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates due to their negligence or bad faith.

If an action, proceeding (including, but not limited to, any governmental investigation), claim or dispute (collectively, a "Proceeding") in respect of which indemnity may be sought by either party is brought or asserted against the other party, the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") shall promptly (and in no event more than ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such Proceeding) notify the party obligated to provide such indemnification (the "Indemnitor") of such Proceeding.  The failure of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall not impair the Indemnitee's ability to seek indemnification from the Indemnitor (but only for costs, expenses and liabilities incurred after such notice) unless such failure adversely affects the Indemnitor's ability to adequately oppose or defend such Proceeding.  Upon receipt o f such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it shall so desire and provided no conflict of interest exists as specified in subparagraph (b) below or there are no other defenses available to Indemnitee as specified in subparagraph (d) below, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (in which case all attorney's fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall in good faith defend the Indemnitee).  The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee unless (a) the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (b) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably and in good faith concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, (c) the Indemnitor fails, within ten (10) days prior to the date the first response or appearance is required to be made in such Proceeding, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or (d) there are legal defenses available to Indemnitee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the Indemnitor.  No compromise or settlement of such Proceeding may be effected by either party without the other party's consent unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the party seeking the settlement.  Neither party shall have any liability with respect to any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Indemnitor shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from any lo ss, expense or liability incurred by the Indemnitee as a result of a default judgment entered against the Indemnitee unless such judgment was entered after the Indemnitor agreed, in writing, to assume the defense of such Proceeding.

SECTION 5.09

THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT.

This American Depositary Receipt is one of an issue (herein called Receipts), all issued and to be issued upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of ________, 2007, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms (the “Deposit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Depositary, and all Owners and Beneficial Owners from time to time of Receipts issued thereunder, each of whom by accepting a Receipt or any interest therein agrees to become a party thereto and become bound by all the terms and conditions thereof.  The Deposit Agreement sets forth the rights of Owners and Beneficial Owners of the Receipts and the rights and duties of the Depositary in respect of the Shares deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in re spect of such Shares and held thereunder (such Shares, securities, property, and cash are herein called Deposited Securities).  Copies of the Deposit Agreement are on file at the Depositary’s Corporate Trust Office in New York City and at the office of the Custodian.

The statements made on the face and reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement and are qualified by and subject to the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement, to which reference is hereby made.  If any term or condition of this Receipt conflicts or is inconsistent with any term of the Deposit Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement shall prevail.  Capitalized terms defined in the Deposit Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

2.

SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL OF SHARES.

Upon surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary of a Receipt for the purpose of withdrawal of the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, and upon payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement and payment of all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such surrender and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities and upon delivery of any certifications required under the laws of Chile and the regulations of the Central Bank of Chile (including any certifications that the Owner’s residence and domicile are outside of Chile), if applicable, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the Bylaws, any applicable laws or regulations and the terms and conditions of or governing the Deposited Secu rities, in each case as in effect at the date of that surrender, the Owner of such Receipt shall be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.  Delivery of such Deposited Securities may be made by the delivery of (a) certificates for Shares in the name of the Owner hereof or as ordered by him or certificates for Shares properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and (b) any other securities, property and cash to which such Owner is then entitled in respect of the Receipt to such Owner or as ordered by him.  Such delivery will be made at the option of the Owner hereof, either at the office of the Custodian or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, provided that the forwarding of certificates for Shares or other Deposited Securities for such delivery at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary shall be at the risk and expense of the Owner hereof.

For purposes of tax rulings dated January 29, 1990 and October 1, 1999 issued by the Chilean Internal Revenue Service regarding certain tax matters relating to American depositary shares and American depositary receipts, the acquisition value of any Share or other Deposited Security upon its withdrawal by an Owner upon surrender of the corresponding Receipt shall be the highest reported sale price of such Share or other Deposited Security on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, Bolsa de Valores  (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”) on the date on which the transfer of such Share or other Deposited Security from the Depositary to such Owner is recorded on the books of the Foreign Registrar.  In the event that the Shares or other Deposited Securities are not then traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange, such value shall be the highest reported sales pric e on the principal stock exchange or other organized securities market in Chile on which such Shares or other Deposited Securities are then traded.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the exchanged shares are sold by the Owner in a Chilean stock exchange on the same day on which the transfer is recorded on the books of the Foreign Registrar or within the two Chilean Business Days prior to the date on which the sale is recorded on those books, the acquisition price of such exchanged shares shall be the price registered in the invoice issued by the stockbroker that participated in the sale transaction.  In the event that no such sales price is reported on the day on which such transfer is recorded on the books of the Foreign Registrar, such value shall be deemed to be the highest sales price reported on the last day on which such sales price was reported; provided, however, that if such day is more than 30 days prior to the date of such transfer, such price shall be increa sed (or decreased) by the percentage increase (or decrease) over the corresponding period in the Chilean consumer price index as reported by the pertinent governmental authority of Chile.

3.

TRANSFERS, SPLIT-UPS, AND COMBINATIONS OF RECEIPTS.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the transfer of a Receipt is registrable, without unreasonable delay, on the books of the Depositary at its Corporate Trust Office by the Owner thereof in person or by a duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of the Receipt properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and funds sufficient to pay any applicable transfer taxes and the expenses of the Depositary and duly stamped as may be required by the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America.  A Receipt may be split into other such Receipts, or may be combined with other such Receipts into one Receipt, evidencing the same aggregate number of American Depositary Shares as the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.  As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination or surrender of any Receipt or withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, Company, Custodian, Registrar or Foreign Registrar, if any, (i) may require payment from the depositor of Shares or the presenter of the Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Shares being deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as provided herein or in the Receipt, (ii) may require the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature, (iii) may require delivery of such certifications as the Company may from time to time specify in writing to the Depositary to assure the Company of compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (iv) may require compliance with any regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with the provisions of the Depo sit Agreement or this Receipt, including, without limitation, Section 2.06 thereof, and (v) may also require compliance with any laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of Deposited Securities as may be established by any governmental authority in Chile or the United States.

The delivery of Receipts against deposit of Shares generally or against deposit of particular Shares may be suspended or deposits of Shares may be refused, or the transfer of Receipts in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer, split-up or combination of outstanding Receipts may be suspended generally or in particular instances, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary, the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, are closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or any securities exchange on which the American Depositary Shares or Shares are listed or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement or the provisions gover ning the Deposited Securities, or for any other reason.  The Depositary shall comply with written instructions of the Company that the Depositary shall not accept for deposit hereunder any Shares identified in such instructions at such times and under such circumstances as may reasonably be specified in such instructions in order to facilitate the Company’s compliance with the securities laws in the United States.

The Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Shares that would be required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act for the public offer and sale thereof in the United States, unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Shares for such offer and sale.

Without limiting the foregoing, Shares that the Depositary believes have been withdrawn from a restricted depositary receipt facility established or maintained by a depositary bank (including any such other facility maintained by the Depositary) may be accepted for deposit under the Deposit Agreement only if those Shares are not “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and the Depositary may, as a condition of accepting those Shares for deposit, require the person depositing those Shares to provide the Depositary with a certificate to the foregoing effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deposit Agreement or the Receipts, the surrender of outstanding Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may not be suspended, subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the deposit of Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Securities.

4.

LIABILITY OF OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER FOR TAXES.

If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to any Receipt or any Deposited Securities represented by any Receipt, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner or Beneficial Owner of such Receipt to the Depositary.  The Depositary may refuse to effect registration of transfer of such Receipt or any split-up or combination thereof or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt until such payment is made, and may withhold or deduct any dividends or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner or Beneficial Owner thereof any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, and may apply such deductions, dividends or other distributions or t he proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge and the Owner or Beneficial Owner of such Receipt shall remain liable for any deficiency.

5.

WARRANTIES ON DEPOSIT OF SHARES.

Every person depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares and each certificate therefor, if applicable, are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of the holders of outstanding Shares and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so.  In addition, every person depositing Shares shall also be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Shares are not, and American Depositary Shares representing such Shares would not be, Restricted Securities.  All representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements required by Section 3.03 of the Deposit Agreement shall survive the deposit of Shares and the issuance and delivery of Receipts.

6.

FILING PROOFS, CERTIFICATES, AND OTHER INFORMATION.

Any person presenting Shares for deposit or any Owner or Beneficial Owner of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file with the Depositary or the Custodian such proof of identity, citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, legal or beneficial ownership of Receipts, Deposited Securities or other securities, compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, all applicable provisions governing Deposited Securities, and the terms of the Deposit Agreement or such information relating to the registration on the books of the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, of the Shares presented for deposit or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties, as the Depositary may deem necessary or proper or as the Company may reasonably require by written request to the Depositary or the Custodian.  T he Depositary may withhold the delivery or registration of transfer of any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or sale or distribution of rights or of the proceeds thereof or the delivery of any Deposited Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. The Depositary shall provide to the Company, as promptly as practicable, upon its request, copies of any such proof of citizenship or residence or other information referred to above so requested, to the extent that disclosure is permitted under applicable law.  No Share shall be accepted for deposit unless accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that any necessary approval has been granted by any governmental body in Chile that is then performing the function of the regulation of currency exchange.  If the person proposing to deposit Shares is not domiciled or resident in Chile, the Custodian shall not accept those Shares unless it receive s from or on behalf of that person an instrument whereby that person assigns and transfers to the Depositary any rights it may have under Chilean regulations relating to currency exchange.  The Custodian shall give notice to the Central Bank of the assignment of any rights referred to in the preceding sentence to the extent required by Chilean law or regulations.

7.

CHARGES OF DEPOSITARY.

The Company agrees to pay the fees, reasonable expenses and out-of-pocket charges of the Depositary and those of any Registrar only in accordance with agreements in writing entered into between the Depositary and the Company from time to time.  The Depositary shall present its statement for such charges and expenses to the Company once every three months.  The charges and expenses of the Custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary.

The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering Receipts or to whom Receipts are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the Receipts or Deposited Securities or a distribution of Receipts pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement), or by Owners, as applicable: (1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares generally on the Share register of the Company or Foreign Registrar and applicable to transfers of Shares to the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, (3)& nbsp;such cable, telex and facsimile transmission expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency pursuant to Section 4.05 of the Deposit Agreement, (5) a fee of $5.00 or less per 100 American Depositary Shares (or portion thereof) for the execution and delivery of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.03, 4.03 or 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement and the surrender of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.05 or 6.02 of the Deposit Agreement and any redemption of American Depositary Shares under Section 4.08 of the Deposit Agreement, (6) a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution made pursuant to Sections 4.01 through 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, (7) a fee for the distribution of securities pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of American Depositary S hares referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this clause 7 treating all such securities as if they were Shares), but which securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to Owners, (8) in addition to any fee charged under clause 6 above, a fee of $.02 or less per American Depositary Share (or portion thereof) for depositary services, which will accrue on the last day of each calendar year and will be payable as provided in clause 9 below and (9) any other charges payable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s agents, including the Custodian, or the agents of the Depositary’s agents in connection with the servicing of Shares or other Deposited Securities (which charge shall be assessed against Owners as of the date or dates set by the Depositary in accordance with Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement and shall be collected at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Owners for such charge or by deduc ing such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions).

The Depositary, subject to Article 8 hereof, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in Receipts.

8.

PRE-RELEASE OF RECEIPTS.

Unless requested in writing by the Company to cease doing so, the Depositary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may, notwithstanding Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver Receipts prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Deposit Agreement (a “Pre-Release”).  The Depositary may, pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Deposit Agreement, deliver Shares upon the receipt and cancellation of Receipts which have been Pre-Released, whether or not such cancellation is prior to the termination of such Pre-Release or the Depositary knows that such Receipt has been Pre-Released.  The Depositary may receive Receipts in lieu of Shares in satisfaction of a Pre-Release.  Each Pre-Release will be (a) preceded or accompanied by a written representation from the person to whom Receipts or Shares are to be delivered, tha t such person, or its customer, (i) owns the Shares or Receipts to be remitted, as the case may be, (ii) assigns all beneficial right, title and interest in such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, to the Depositary in its capacity as such and for the benefit of the Owners, and (iii) will not take any action with respect to such Shares and Receipts, as the case may be, that is inconsistent with the transfer of beneficial ownership (including without the consent of the Depositary, disposing of such Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, other than in satisfaction of such Pre-Release), (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, U.S. government securites or such other collateral as the Depositary determines, in good faith, will provide similar liquidity and security, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) Business Days notice, and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate.  The number of Shares represented by American D epositary Shares which are outstanding at any time as a result of Pre-Release will not normally exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares deposited hereunder; provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to disregard such limit from time to time as it deems reasonably appropriate and may, with the prior written consent of the Company, change that limit for purposes of general application.

The collateral referred to in clause (b) above shall be held by the Depositary for the benefit of the Owners as security for the performance of the obligations to deliver Shares or Receipts, as the case may be, in satisfaction of a Pre-Release transaction (and shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement).

The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in connection with the foregoing.

The Company shall have no liability to any owner in connection with any Pre-Release.

9.

TITLE TO RECEIPTS.

It is a condition of this Receipt and every successive Owner and Beneficial Owner of this Receipt by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees, that title to this Receipt when properly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument or instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument under the laws of New York; provided, however, that the Depositary and the Company, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name this Receipt is registered on the books of the Depositary as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Deposit Agreement or for all other purposes, and neither the Depositary nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under this Deposit Agreement to any holder of a Receipt unless such holder is the Owner thereof.

10.

VALIDITY OF RECEIPT.

This Receipt shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless this Receipt shall have been executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Depositary and, if a Registrar for the Receipts shall have been appointed, countersigned by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar.

11.

REPORTS; INSPECTION OF TRANSFER BOOKS.

The Company currently furnishes the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter called the “Commission”) with certain public reports and documents required by foreign law or otherwise under Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act.  Such reports and documents will be available for inspection and copying by Owners and Beneficial Owners at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

The Depositary will keep books, at its Corporate Trust Office, for the registration of Receipts and transfers of Receipts which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners of Receipts and the Company, provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with Owners of Receipts in the interest of a business or object other than the business of the Company or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement, combinations and split-ups or the Receipts.

12.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary will, as promptly as practicable, if at the time of receipt thereof any amounts received in a foreign currency can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into United States dollars transferable to the United States, and subject to the Deposit Agreement, convert such dividend or distribution into dollars and will distribute the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement) to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto; provided, however, that in the event that the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any D eposited Securities an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owners of the Receipts evidencing American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.11 and 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement, whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than a distribution described in Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, as promptly as practicable, cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, after deduction or upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary or any taxes or other governmental charges, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, in any manner that the Depositary may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the De positary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the Securities Act in order to be distributed to Owners or Beneficial Owners) the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, adopt such method as it may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement) and any taxes or governmental charges shall be distributed by the Depositary to the Owners enti tled thereto, without unreasonable delay, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement.  The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement if it has not received satisfactory assurances from the Company that the distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act or is exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act or is exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act..  To the extent that such securities or property or the net proceeds thereof is not effectively distributed to Owners as provided in Section 4.02 of the Deposit Agreement, the same shall constitute Deposited Securities and each American Depositary Share shall thereafter also represent its proportionate interest in such securities, property or net proceeds.

If any distribution consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may, and shall, if the Company shall so request in writing, distribute, as promptly as practicable, to the Owners of outstanding Receipts entitled thereto, additional Receipts evidencing an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and the issuance of American Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement and the payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement.  In lieu of delivering Receipts for fractional American De positary Shares in any such case, the Depositary will use its reasonable best efforts to sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute, as promptly as practicable, the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement.  If additional Receipts are not so distributed, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby.

In connection with any distribution to Owners, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency (or other appropriate entity) all amounts (if any) required to be withheld by the Company and owing to such authority or agency by the Company (or by the Owners that would otherwise receive such amounts); and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency (or other appropriate entity) all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owning to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian or by the Owners that would otherwise receive such amounts.  

The Depositary shall forward to the Company or its agents such information from its records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agents to file necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies. The Depositary, the Custodian or the Company and its agents may, but shall not be obligated to, file such reports as are necessary to reduce or eliminate applicable taxes on dividends and on other distributions in respect of Deposited Securities under applicable tax treaties or laws for the Owners. Owners of American Depositary Shares may be required from time to time, and in a timely manner, to file such proof of taxpayer status, residence and beneficial ownership (as applicable), to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties, or to provide any other information or documents, as the Depositary or the Custodi an may deem necessary or proper to fulfill the Depositary’s or the Custodian’s obligations under applicable law. The Owners shall indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained.

The Depositary shall report to the Owners any such taxes or governmental charges withheld or paid by it, the Custodian or, to the extent such information is received from the Company, the Company.

13.

RIGHTS.

In the event that the Company shall offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after consultation with the Company, shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or by reason of applicable law, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse.  If at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary reasonably determines, after consultation with the Company, that it is lawful and fea sible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners but not to other Owners, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company, distribute to any Owner to whom it determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by such Owner, warrants or other instruments therefor in such form as it deems reasonably appropriate.

In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an Owner of Receipts requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of such Owner hereunder, the Depositary will, as promptly as practicable, make such rights available to such Owner upon written notice from the Company to the Depositary that (a) the Company has elected in its sole discretion to permit such rights to be exercised and (b) such Owner has executed such documents as the Company has determined in its sole discretion are reasonably required under applicable law.

If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain Owners, then upon instruction from such an Owner pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary from such Owner to exercise such rights, upon payment by such Owner to the Depositary for the account of such Owner of an amount equal to the purchase price of the Shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary and any other charges as set forth in such warrants or other instruments, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such Owner, exercise the rights and purchase the Shares, and the Company shall cause the Shares so purchased to be delivered to the Depositary on behalf of such Owner.  As agent for such Owner, the Depositary will cause the Shares so purchased to be deposited pursuant to Section&nb sp;2.02 of the Deposit Agreement, and shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver Receipts to such Owner.  In the case of a distribution pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, such Receipts shall be legended in accordance with applicable U.S. law and shall be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation and transfer under such laws.

If the Depositary reasonably determines, after consultation with the Company, that it is not lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain Owners, it shall use its reasonable efforts to sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the Owners to whom it has determined it may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement and all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such rights and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement) for the account of such Owners otherwise entitled to such rights, warrants or other instruments, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions a mong such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise, and distribute such net proceeds to the Owners entitled to them as in the case of a distribution of cash.

Except as otherwise provided in the third preceding paragraph, the Depositary will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from or not subject to such registration under the Securities Act  with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such Act; provided, that nothing in the Deposit Agreement shall create, or shall be construed to create, any obligation on the part of the Company to file a registration statement with respect to such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have such a registration statement declared effective.  If an Owner of Receipts requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments, notwithstanding that there has been no such registration under the Securities Act, the Depositary shall not effect such di stribution unless it has received an opinion from recognized counsel in the United States for the Company upon which the Depositary may rely that such distribution to such Owner is exempt from or not subject to such registration requirements.

Neither the Company nor the Depositary shall be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular.

14.

CONVERSION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY.

Whenever the Depositary or the Custodian shall receive foreign currency, by way of dividends or other distributions or the net proceeds from the sale of securities, property or rights, and if at the time of the receipt thereof the foreign currency so received can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into Dollars and the resulting Dollars transferred to the United States, the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, convert or cause to be converted, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, such foreign currency into Dollars, and such Dollars shall, as promptly as practicable, be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto or, if the Depositary shall have distributed any warrants or other instruments which entitle the holders thereof to such Dollars, then to the holders of such warrants and/or instruments, as applicable, up on surrender thereof for cancellation in whole or in part depending upon the terms of such warrants or other instruments.  Such distribution may be made upon an averaged or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among Owners on account of exchange restrictions, the date of delivery of any Receipt or otherwise and shall be net of any taxes, governmental charges or expenses of conversion into Dollars incurred by the Depositary as provided in Section 5.09 of the Deposit Agreement.

If such conversion or distribution can be effected only with the approval or license of, or requires a filing with, any government or agency thereof, the Depositary shall, without unreasonable delay, file such application for approval or license, or make such filing, if any, as it may deem desirable.

If at any time the Depositary or the Custodian shall determine that in its reasonable judgment that any foreign currency received by the Depositary or the Custodian is not convertible on a reasonable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof that is required for such conversion is denied or in the opinion of the Depositary is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained, at a reasonable cost or within a reasonable period, the Depositary may distribute the foreign currency (or an appropriate document evidencing the right to receive such foreign currency) received by the Depositary to, or in its discretion may hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled to receive the same.

If any such conversion of foreign currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the Owners entitled thereto, the Depositary may in its reasonable discretion make such conversion and distribution in Dollars to the extent permissible to the Owners entitled thereto and may distribute the balance of the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such balance uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Owners entitled thereto.

15.

RECORD DATES.

Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever rights shall be issued with respect to the Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of the fixing of a record date by the Company for the determination of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever for any reason the Depositary causes a change in the number of Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, or whenever the Depositary shall find it necessary or convenient, the Depositary shall fix a record date (which shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by the Company) (a) for the determination of the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, or in respect of such changed number of Deposited Securities represented by each American Depositary Share or in respect of such other matter or (iii) who shall be responsible for any fee or charges assessed by the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, or (b) on or after which each American Depositary Share will represent the changed number of Shares.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.01 through 4.05 of the Deposit Agreement and to the other terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, the Owners at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled, as the case may be, to receive the amount distributable by the Depositary with respect to such dividend or other distribution or such rights or the net proceed s of sale thereof in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by them respectively, to give voting instructions or to act in respect of any other such matter.

16.

VOTING OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES.

Upon receipt from the Company of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities are entitled to vote or solicitation of proxies or consents of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, if requested in writing by the Company, as soon as practicable thereafter, fix a record date as provided in Section 4.06 of the Deposit Agreement and mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be previously provided to the Company for its review and comment and which shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and in the solicitation materials, if any, received by the Depositary from the Company, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, subject to any applicable provision of Chilean law and of the Bylaws or similar document of the Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares and (c) a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given, including an express indication that, if the Depositary does not receive instructions, it may deem instructions to have been given under the last sentence of this paragraph to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company.  Upon the written request of an Owner of a Receipt on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable and permitted under the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the Company’s Bylaws, applicable laws and regulations and the terms and conditions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to vote or cau se to be voted the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by that Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request.  The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to Deposited Securities other than in accordance with instructions received from Owners or deemed received under the following sentence.  If (i) the Company made a request to the Depositary as contemplated by the first sentence of this paragraph and complied with the following paragraph and (ii)  no instructions are received by the Depositary from an Owner with respect to an amount of Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by that Owner’s Receipts on or before the date established by the Depositary for that purpose, the Depositary shall deem that Owner to have instructed the Depositary to give, and the Depositary shall give, a discretionary proxy to a person desi gnated by the Company with respect to that amount of Deposited Securities, except that  that such instruction shall not be deemed to have been given and the Depositary shall not give a discretionary proxy with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide that information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) the Company does not wish to receive a discretionary proxy, (y) substantial opposition exists or (z) the matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Shares.

In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if the Company will request the Depositary to act under the preceding paragraph, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of any such meeting or solicitation and details concerning the matters to be voted upon at least 30 days prior to the meeting date or date for giving proxies or consents.

There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in particular will receive a notice required by Section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement sufficiently prior to the date established by the Depositary to ensure that the Depositary will be able to vote or give voting instructions with respect to the Deposited Securities in accordance with that Section.

17.

CHANGES AFFECTING DEPOSITED SECURITIES.

In circumstances where the provisions of Section 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement do not apply, upon any change in nominal value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Company or to which it is a party, any securities or other property that shall be received by the Depositary or a Custodian in exchange for or in conversion of or in respect of Deposited Securities, shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and American Depositary Shares shall thenceforth represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities so received in exchange or conversion, unless additional Receipts are delivered pursuant to the following sentence.  In any such ca se the Depositary may, and shall if the Company shall so request, subject to the Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver additional Receipts as in the case of a dividend in Shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new Deposited Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Depositary reasonably determines that any securities or property so received may not be lawfully or practicably distributed to all or certain Owners, the Depositary may sell such securities or property at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (after payment of the expenses thereof, the fees of the Depositary and any taxes or governmental charges) for the account of the Owners otherwise entitled to such securities or property upon an average or other practicable basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners and distribute the net p roceeds so allocated to the extent practicable as in the case of a distribution received in cash pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Deposit Agreement.  Promptly upon receipt of notice from the Company pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Deposit Agreement of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in the first sentence of this Article, the Depositary shall give notice thereof, at the Company’s expense, to all Owners if the event affects holdings of American Depositary Shares.

In the event that Shares are to be redeemed and, as a result, Shares registered in the name of the Custodian are called for redemption by the Company, the Depositary will call for the redemption of American Depositary Shares (in aggregate number representing the number of Shares registered in the name of the Custodian called for redemption) and may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable to select the American Depositary Shares called for redemption.

18.

LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY AND DEPOSITARY.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law, regulation, order, decree, moratorium or fiat of the United States, Chile or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority, stock exchange, or automated quotation system or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Bylaws or similar document of the Company, or by reason of any provision of any securities issued or distributed by the Company, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the Company or any of their directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from, or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement or Deposited Securities it is provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary or the Company or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of the Deposit Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement or the Company’s ByLaws.  Where, by the terms of a distribution pursuant to Sections 4.01, 4.02, or 4.03 of the Deposit Agreement, or an offering or distribution pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason, such distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners, and the D epositary is prevented or prohibited by applicable law or otherwise from disposing of such distribution or offering on behalf of such Owners and making the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Depositary shall not make such distribution or offering, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse.  

The Company assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to Owners, Beneficial Owners or other persons, except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

The Depositary assumes no obligation nor shall it be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any Owner, Beneficial Owner or other person (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that it agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the Receipts on behalf of any Owner, Beneficial Owner or other person.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall be liable for any action or nonaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any governmental authority, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Owner or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information.  Each of the Depositary and the Company may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary.

The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or nonaction is in good faith.

No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement.

19.

RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITARY; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR CUSTODIAN.

The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by written notice of its election to do so delivered to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement.  The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by 90 days’ prior written notice of such removal, to become effective upon the later of (i) the 90th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary or (ii) the appointment of a successor depositary satisfactory to the Company and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement and which appointment shall be on terms satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion.  Whenever the Depositary in its reasonable discretion determines that it is in the best interest of the Owners of Receipts t o do so, it may, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, appoint a substitute or additional Custodian.

20.

AMENDMENT.

The form of the Receipts and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary without the consent of Owners or Beneficial Owners in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable.  Any amendment which shall impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, transfer and registration fees for Deposited Securities, and cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery expenses or similar expenses), or which shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners of Receipts, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of thirty days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Owners of outstanding Receipts.  Every Owner and Beneficial Owner of a Receipt a t the time any amendment so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt or any interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby.  In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner of any Receipt to surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Deposited Securities represented thereby except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

21.

TERMINATION OF DEPOSIT AGREEMENT.

The Depositary at any time at the direction of the Company, shall terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of termination to the Owners of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination.  The Depositary may likewise terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the Company and the Owners of all Receipts then outstanding if at least 60 days shall have passed since the Depositary shall have delivered to the Company a written notice of its election to resign and a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement.  On and after the date of termination, the Owner of a Receipt will, upon (a) surrender of such Receipt at the Corporate Trust Office of the Depositary, (b) payment of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of Receipts referred to in Section 2.05 of the Deposit Agreement, and (c) payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, be entitled to delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.  If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Receipts, shall suspend the distribution of dividends and other distributions to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement, except that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Securities, shall sell rights and other property as provided in the Deposit Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Deposited Securities, together with any dividends or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, in exchange for Receipts surrendered to the Depositary (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges).  At any time after the expiration of one year from the date of termination, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities then held under the Deposit Agreement and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it thereunder, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of Receipts which have not theretofore been surrendered, such Owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such net proceeds.  After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement, exce pt to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of a Receipt, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges), and except as provided in Section 5.08 of the Deposit Agreement.  Upon the termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary with respect to indemnification, charges, and expenses.  The obligations of the Depositary under Section 5.08 of the Deposit Agreement shall survive the termination of the Deposit Agreement.

The Company may from time to time request Owners or Beneficial Owners or former owners or Beneficial Owners to provide information as to the capacity in which they hold or held Receipts and regarding the identity of any other persons then or previously interested in such Receipts and the nature of such interest and various other matters.  Each such Owner or Beneficial Owner agrees to provide any such information reasonably requested by the Company or the Depositary pursuant to this Article whether or not still an Owner or Beneficial owner at the time of such request.  The Depositary agrees to comply with reasonable written instructions received from the Company requesting that the Depositary forward any such requests to such Owners or Beneficial Owners and to the last known address, if any, of such former Owners or Beneficial Owners and to forward to the Compa ny any responses to such requests received by the Depositary, and to use its reasonable efforts, at the Company’s request and expense, to assist the Company in obtaining such information with respect to the American Depositary Shares.  However, nothing herein shall be interpreted as obligating the Depositary to provide or obtain any such information not provided to the Depositary by such Owners or Beneficial Owners or former Owners or Beneficial Owners.

24.

COMPLIANCE WITH CHILEAN LAW.

Pursuant to Circular Letters of the SVS, Owners are deemed, for certain purposes of Chilean law, to be treated as owners of Shares.  Accordingly, Owners shall, as a matter of Chilean law, be obligated and by holding American Depositary Shares shall be deemed to agree to comply with the obligations that shareholders have in Chile including, without limitation, the requirements of Articles 12 and 54 and Title XV of Law 18,045 of Chile and the regulations issued by the SVS in connection therewith.

Article 12 requires that, among other things, shareholders of a Chilean corporation report to the SVS and the stock exchanges in Chile on which those shares are listed:

(i)

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of Receipts that results in the Owner acquiring or ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total share capital of such corporation; and

(ii)

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares or options to buy or sell shares, in any amount, made by (a) a holder that owns shares representing 10% or more of such corporation’s shares or (b) a director, liquidator, general manager, manager or holder of certain other offices of such corporation.

In addition, shareholders required to report under clause (i) or (ii)(a) above  must state in their report whether their purpose is to acquire control of the corporation or if they are making a financial investment.  A beneficial owner of American Depositary Shares representing 10% or more of the Company’s share capital will be subject to the above reporting requirements under Chilean law.

Under Article 54 of Law 18,045 of Chile and the regulations of the SVS,  persons or entities intending to acquire control, directly or indirectly (as defined in Title XV of Law 18,045), of  a publicly traded company, including through acquisitions to be made through direct subscriptions or private transactions, are required to inform the public of that intention as soon as negotiations regarding the change of control begin (i.e., when information and documents concerning the target are delivered to the potential acquirer), but in any case at least 10 Chilean Business Days before the date on which the transaction is to be completed, by publishing a notice in two Chilean newspapers, which notice must disclose, among other information, the person or entity purchasing, the proposed price, and the status of any negotiations.  Before making the publication referred to in the preceding sentence, the person or entity must send a written communication containing the same information to be published to the target corporation, the controlling corporation, the corporations controlled by the target corporation, the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges on which the company’s securities are listed.

In addition to the foregoing, Article 54A of Law 18,045 of Chile requires that, within the two Chilean Business Days following completion of the transactions pursuant to which a person has acquired control of a publicly traded company, (i) a notice must be published in the same newspapers in which the publication referred to in Article 54 has been made and (ii) notices must be sent to the same persons indicated in Article 54.

Finally, Title XV of Law 18,045 regulates public offerings for the acquisition of shares of a publicly held Chilean stock company, including definitions, mandatory public offerings, exemptions and the principal features and requisites that such a process shall comply with.

Re:

American Depositary Receipts for Common Shares of Inversiones Aguas Metropolitanas S.A.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the registration statement to be filed on Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registration Statement") by the legal entity created by the agreement (the "Deposit Agreement") for issuance of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") evidenced by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") for Common Shares of Inversiones Aguas Metropolitanas S.A. for which you propose to act as Depositary.

We are of the opinion that the ADSs covered by the Registration Statement, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, will, when sold, be legally issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified in the Deposit Agreement and the ADRs.

This opinion may be used by you as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

En Santiago, a veintinueve de mayo de dos mil siete, siendo las doce : treinta horas, en Avenida Presidente Balmaceda número mil trescientos noventa y ocho, se reunió el Directorio de Inversiones Aguas Metropolitanas S.A.. Asisten los directores titulares señores Joaquín Villarino, Herman Chadwick, Mario Marcel, Jaime Ravinet, Juan Antonio Guijarro, y los directores suplentes señores Josep Bagué, Pedro Buttazzoni, Albert Martínez, Xavier Amorós, Rodrigo Castro, Ignacio Guerrero y Juan Toro. Se encuentra presente también la señora Gerente General doña Marta Colet. Excusaron su asistencia los directores señores Angel Simón y Jean Louis Chaussade. Presidió la sesión don Joaquín Villarino y actuó como secretario el señor Sebastián Oddo.  4. VARIOS. OTORGAMIENTO Y REVOCACIÓN DE PODERES I.- Otorgamiento de poderes para documentación de Level I. Toma la palabra el Gerente General quien informó a la Mesa que con fecha cinco de Diciembre de dos mil seis la Compañía presentó, por medio del estudio de abogados de Nueva York, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett (“STB”), ante la Securities and Exchange Commission de los Estados Unidos de América (“SEC”) una solicitud de excepción de registro de sus ADRs de acuerdo a lo establecido en la Regla doce g tres – dos (b) bajo la “Securities Exchange Act” del año mil novecientos treinta y cuatro (“mil novecientos treinta y cuatro Act”). Según esta regla, mientras la Compañía mantenga dicha excepción no estará ; sujeta a las obligaciones completas de reporte del mil novecientos treinta y cuatro Act ni a las obligaciones del Sarbanes – Oxley Act de dos mil dos, siempre y cuando la Compañía no decida (i) cotizar sus acciones en una bolsa estadounidense o (ii) colocar sus acciones al público en los Estados Unidos de América. Con fecha dieciocho de Diciembre de dos mil seis la SEC envió una comunicación a STB informando su decisión favorable a la solicitud antedicha, bajo el número de registro tres cinco cero cuatro seis. En conformidad a la reglamentación respectiva y en orden a mantener la excepción indicada, la Compañía debe enviar periódicamente a la SEC, debidamente traducida al idioma inglés o, en ciertos casos, elaborando un resumen ejecutivo de la misma en dicha idioma, toda la información requerida por la Regla doce g tres – dos (b), la cual consiste en aquella que la Compañía haya comunicado a las Bolsas de Valores en que se transan sus acciones, aquella puesta en conocimiento de sus accionistas o aquella comunicada al público en general. Asimismo, la Compañía debe mantener permanentemente actualizada la lista con los requerimientos u obligaciones de información que la ley chilena le exige. En caso que la Compañía  no cumpla los requerimientos de reporte de información periódica a la SEC conforme a lo dispuesto en la Regla doce g tres – dos (b), quedará sujeta a todas las obligaciones de reporte de información periódica que establece al efecto la mil novecientos treinta y cuatro Act, en el evento que el número de tenedores de sus ADRs en los Estados Unidos de América exceda de trescientos en cualquier momento. Asimismo, señaló el Gerente General que la Compañía desea elevar la categoría de sus ADRs emitidos conforme a la Regulation S de la “Securities Act” del año mil novecientos treinta y tres al denomin ado Nivel Uno de ADRs, que implica la posibilidad de que éstos sean transados libremente por inversionistas en los denominados “over-the-counter markets”, lo que implicaría un notorio aumento en la liquidez de estos títulos. Para lograr esto, la Compañía, en conjunto con el Banco Depositario (Bank of New York) (“BONY”) debe presentar ante la SEC un Formulario ad hoc denominado “F-seis”. Este formulario no implica el registro definitivo de las acciones representadas por ADRs de la Compañía ni tampoco impone una obligación de registro para ésta en el futuro, siempre que mantenga su exención de registro bajo la Regla doce g tres – dos (b) antes citada. El Formulario F-seis se limita a adjuntar el nuevo acuerdo con BONY materializado en una enmienda al Regulation S Deposit Agreement celebrado por las partes y los dueños o potenciales dueños de los ADRs con fecha veintitrés de Noviembre de dos mil cinco, cuyo nuevo texto se denominará “Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement” y el texto del certificado de ADR del Programa Nivel I contenido en su Exhibit A. Este Formulario F-seis, para presentarse ante la SEC requiere las firmas de los Directores y los ejecutivos principales de la Compañía o, en su reemplazo, dichos personeros pueden otorgar un poder especial a un apoderado de la Compañía para que firme el Formulario F-seis en su nombre y representación, siempre y cuando (i) se registre ante la SEC una copia firmada del poder especial; (ii) se registre ante la SEC una copia certificada del acuerdo del Directorio de la Compañía en que conste el otorgamiento del poder especial; (iii) el poder especial confiera facultades específicas al apoderado para suscribir el Formulario F-6 y cualquier enmienda del mismo que se requiera a futuro, y (iv) en la introducción del Formulario F-6 se haga referencia al poder especial otorgado al apoderado de la Compañía pa ra que éste lo suscriba en su nombre y representación. A continuación, el Presidente hizo ver a los Directores la necesidad de otorgar un poder especial a un apoderado de la Compañía para que suscriba a nombre de ésta todos y cada uno de los documentos necesarios que deben ser presentados ante la SEC para la obtención del Programa de ADRs Nivel I, los cuales consisten en la enmienda al Deposit Agreement de fecha veintitrés de Noviembre de dos mil cinco materializada en un nuevo contrato denominado “Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement” y el citado Formulario F-seis. El poder especial que debe otorgarse al apoderado de la Compañía, debe incluir específicamente la facultad de acordar y suscribir futuras enmiendas al Formulario F-6 y al Deposit Agreement en la medida que éstas sean necesarias y/o requeridas por la SEC o por el Banco Depositario. El Directorio, por unanimidad, acordó otorgar al Gerente General de la Compañía, doña Marta Colet Gonzalo, y al Vicepresidente señor Joaquín Villarino Herrera, el poder especial descrito por el señor Presidente en el párrafo precedente para que cualquiera de ellos, conjunta o separadamente, suscriban y otorguen la enmienda al Deposit Agreement de fecha veintitrés de Noviembre de dos mil cinco y el Formulario F-seis, incluyendo la facultad de acordar futuras enmiendas a dichos documentos en la medida que éstas sean necesarias y/o requeridas por la SEC o por el Banco Depositario. 5.- REDUCCIÓN A ESCRITURA PÚBLICA. El Directorio, por unanimidad, acordó facultar al Gerente General de la Compañía, doña Marta Colet Gonzalo, y al Vicepresidente señor Joaquín Villarino Herrera, para que, actuando conjunta o separadamente cualquiera de ellos, en cualquier tiempo, reduzcan a escritura pública todo o parte del acta que se levante de la presente sesión de Directorio y para que la inserten, también en todo o en parte, en otras escrituras públicas.

PUBLIC DEED



SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY



INVERSIONES AGUAS METROPOLITANAS S.A.





In Santiago, Republic of Chile, on July 5, 2007, before me, IVÁN TORREALBA ACEVEDO, Chilean, married, lawyer, identity card No.3.417.990-5, public notary of Santiago’s thirty-third notary office located at Huérfanos street No.979, office 501, Santiago, appears: Ms. Marta Colet Gonzalo, Spanish, married, economist, foreign-resident identity card No.22.390.117-4, adult, whom I know, and states: that duly authorized for the purpose, she comes to record in public deed the pertinent parts of the board meeting No.5/2007 of Inversiones Aguas Metropolitanas S.A. held on May 29, 2007, whose text is the following: “MINUTES OF MEETING NO.5/2007 OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INVERSIONES AGUAS METROPOLITANAS S.A. In Santiago, on May 29, 2007, at 12.30 hours at Avenida Presidente Balmaceda No.1398, the board of Directors of Inversiones Aguas Metropolitanas S.A. met with the attendance of the directors misters Joa quín Villarino, Herman Chadwick, Mario Marcel, Jaime Ravinet, Juan Antonio Guijarro and the alternate directors misters Josep Bagué, Pedro Buttazzoni, Albert Martínez, Xavier Amorós, Rodrigo Castro, Ignacio Guerrero and Juan Toro. Also is present the Chief Executive Officer, miss Marta Colet. The directors misters Angel Simón and Jean Louis Chaussade sent their apologies for their absence. The meeting was presided by Joaquín Villarino and Sebastián Oddo acted as the secretary. 4. MISCELLANEOUS. GRANTING AND REVOCATION OF POWERS I.- Granting of powers for Level 1 documentation. The Chief Executive Officer informed the meeting that on December 5, 2006, the Company presented, acting through the New York law firm, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett (“STB”), to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the United States of America, a request for exception from registering its ADRs as established in Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act o f 1934 (“the 1934 Act”). According to this rule, while the Company retains this exception it shall not be subject to the full reporting obligations of the 1934 Act or the obligations of the Sarbanes – Oxley Act of 2002, provided the Company does not decide (i) to have its shares quoted on an American stock exchange or (ii) to make a public stock offering in the United States of America. On December 18, 2006, the SEC sent a communication to STB informing its favourable decision to the above request for exception, under the registration number 35046. According to the respective regulation and in order to maintain the exception mentioned, the Company has to send periodically to the SEC, duly translated into English, or in certain cases by preparing an executive summary of it in that language, all the information required by Rule 12g3-2(b), consisting of that which the Company has reported to stock exchanges where its shares are traded, that which it has informed to its shareholders or that which is communicated to the public in general. Likewise, the Company should also keep permanently updated the list with the reporting requirements or obligations required under Chilean law. Should the Company not comply with the periodic reporting requirements to the SEC in accordance with Rule 12g3-2(b), it shall be subject to all the periodic information reporting obligations established in the 1934 Act, in case the number of holders of its ADRs in the United States of America exceed three hundred at any time. The Chief Executive Officer also informs that the Company wishes to increase the category of its ADRs issued in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 to the Level 1 of ADRs, which implies the possibility of these being traded freely by investors in the so-called over-the-counter markets, which would imply a substantial increase in the liquidity of its ADRs. The Company therefore, together with the Depositary Bank (Bank of New York) (BONY), has to present to the SEC an ad hoc fo rm called F-6. This form does not imply the definitive registration of the Company’s shares represented by ADRs nor imposes an obligation to register in the future provided it maintains its registration exemption under the above-mentioned Rule 12g3-2(b). Form F-6 is limited to attach the new agreement with BONY through an amendment to the Regulation S Deposit Agreement signed by the parties and the holders or potential holders of the ADRs on November 23, 2005, whose new text will be called “Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement” and the text of the ADR certificate of the Level 1 Program contained in its Exhibit A. The presentation of this Form F-6 to the SEC requires the signatures of the directors and principal executives of the Company or such persons may grant a special power to an attorney of the Company to sign the Form F-6 in its name and on its behalf, always provided (i) a signed copy of the special power is registered with the SEC; (ii) a certified copy of the board resolution granti ng the special power is registered with the SEC; (iii) the special power confers specific powers to the attorney to sign the Form F-6 and any amendment to it that is required in the future, and (iv) in the introduction to the Form F-6, reference is made to the special power granted to the Company’s attorney in order to sign it in its name and on its behalf. The Chairman explained to the directors the need to grant a special power to an attorney of the Company to sign in its name and its behalf each and every one of the documents necessary that should be presented to the SEC to obtain the Level 1 ADR Program, consisting of the amendment to the Deposit Agreement of November 23, 2005 through a new contract called “Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement” and the mentioned Form F-6. The special power should be granted to the attorney of the Company and specifically include the power to agree and sign future amendments of the Form F-6 and the Deposit Agreement to the degree that these are necessary and/or required by the SEC or the Depositary Bank. The board unanimously agreed to grant to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, miss Marta Colet Gonzalo, and the Vice Chairman, mister Joaquín Villarino Herrera, the special power described by the Chairman in the preceding paragraph so that either of them, jointly or separately, may sign and grant the amendment of the Deposit Agreement of November 23, 2005 and the Form F-6, including the power to agree future amendments to such documents as they are necessary and/or required by the SEC or the Depositary Bank. 5.- DRAWING UP IN PUBLIC DEED. The board unanimously agreed to authorize the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, miss Marta Colet Gonzalo, and the Vice Chairman, mister Joaquín Villarino Herrera, so that, acting jointly or separately at any time, they may draw up in public deed all or part of the minutes of this board of Directors meeting and may also inser t them wholly or partly in other public deeds. Joaquín Villarino, Chairman, Herman Chadwick, Director, Mario Marcel, Director, Jaime Ravinet, Director, Juan Antonio Guijarro, Director, Josep Bagué, Alternate Director, Pedro Buttazzoni, Alternate Director, Albert Martínez, Alternate Director, Xavier Amorós, Alternate Director, Rodrigo Castro, Alternate Director, Ignacio Guerrero, Alternate Director, Juan Toro, Alternate Director, Marta Colet, Chief Executve Officer. The signatories below certify that misters Juan Antonio Guijarro, Xavier Amorós, Josep Bagué and Albert Martínez, although not physically present, attended and participated simultaneously and permanently in the meeting through video conference and that mister Mario Marcel did so through a telephonic connection. Santiago, May 29, 2007. Joaquín Villarino, Chairman, Sebastián Oddo, Secretary”.- In accordance with the original text contained in the pertinent Minutes Book which I have seen. In witness w hereof and after reading, the appearing parties and the certifying Notary sign. Copies are given. I attest.
