As Representatives of the several Dealer Managers, Placement Agents and Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Enersis S.A., a corporation (sociedad anónima) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Republic of Chile (the “Company”), plans to make an offering to the Company’s common stockholders of transferable rights (the “Share Rights Offering”) to subscribe for up to 6,473,976,239 new shares of common stock of the Company (the “Offered Shares”), including in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to be represented by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). The Share Rights Offering is part of a capital increase (the “Capital Increase”) approved by the Company’s shareholders on December 20, 2012.

In connection with the Share Rights Offering, Citibank, N.A., as the Company’s Depositary (the “Depositary”), will make available to holders of ADSs (each of which represents 50 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (each such share of common stock, a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”)), transferable rights (the “ADS Rights Offering”) to subscribe for new ADSs (each, an “ADS Right” and, collectively, the “ADS Rights”). Each Share held of record at 11:59 p.m. (Santiago, Chile time) on February 19, 2013 (the “Share Record Date”) will entitle its holder to 0.504 share rights (each, a “Share Right” and, collectively, the “Share Rights”). Each Share Right will entitle its holder to subscribe for one new Share at the subscription price of Ch$173 per new Share. Each ADS held of record at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on February 25, 2013 (the “ADS Record Date”) will entitle its holder to 0.504 ADS Rights. Each ADS Right will entitle its Holder to subscribe for one new ADS at the U.S. dollar equivalent of the subscription price of Ch$8,650 per new ADS, plus certain fees and expenses described in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Share Rights and the ADS Rights are collectively referred to as the “Rights,” and the Share Rights Offering and the ADS Rights Offering are collectively referred to as the “Rights Offering.”

The Share Rights Offering is scheduled to commence on February 25, 2013 (the “Commencement Date”) and is expected to expire at 11:59 p.m. (Santiago, Chile time) on March 26, 2013 (the “Share Rights Offering Expiration Date”) and the ADS Rights Offering is scheduled to commence on February 26, 2013 and is expected to expire at 2:15 p.m. (New York City time) on March 21, 2013 (the “ADS Rights Offering Expiration Date”). The date on which the Offered Shares are delivered (allotted and issued) by the Company to holders or transferees of Rights pursuant to the exercise of Rights is herein referred to as the “Settlement Date.” The Company shall cause Citibank, N.A., as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”) to mail to each holder of record of the ADSs, as soon as practicable after the ADS Record Date, copies of the Prospectus (as defined below) as in effect at such time. Thereafter, to the extent practicable until the ADS Rights Offering Expiration Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause copies of the Prospectus to be made available upon request to each person who is or becomes a holder or beneficial owner of any ADSs or ADS Rights.

In order to facilitate the successful completion of the Rights Offering, the Company hereby engages you as representatives of the several dealer managers listed in Schedule I hereto (the “Dealer Managers”) and authorizes you to act, and you each agree, in accordance with your customary practice, to perform those services in connection with the Rights Offering as are customarily performed by investment banking concerns in connection with rights offerings of like nature, including but not limited to, using your reasonable best efforts to solicit, in accordance with the Securities Act and your customary practice, the exercise of the Rights, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the procedures described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

In addition, the Company hereby engages you as representatives of the several placement agents listed in Schedule I hereto (the “Placement Agents”) to facilitate the placement (the “Placement Facilitation”), subsequent to the Share Rights Offering Expiration Date, of up to the number of Offered Shares, if any, that are not otherwise subscribed for in the Rights Offering. Upon their mutual agreement, the parties hereto may enter into a placement facilitation supplement (the “Placement Facilitation Supplement”) providing for, among other things, the aggregate number of Shares, if any, to be placed by the Placement Agents (the “Placed Shares”) and the other terms of such Placement Facilitation, if any.

Upon their mutual agreement, the parties hereto may enter into an underwriting agreement supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Underwriting Agreement Supplement”) subsequent to the Share Rights Offering Expiration Date pursuant to which the Company would issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives, up to the number of Offered Shares, if any, that are not otherwise subscribed for in the Rights Offering, in the form of ADSs. The Underwriting Agreement Supplement will set forth, among other things, the aggregate number of ADSs, if any, to be allocated to the Underwriters (the “Underwritten ADSs”) and the price at which the Underwritten ADSs will be purchased by the Underwriters.

Pursuant to a separate engagement letter (the “Chilean Engagement Letter”), the Company has engaged J.P. Morgan Corredores de Bolsa SpA, Celfin Capital S.A. Corredores de Bolsa, Merrill Lynch Corredores de Bolsa SpA, Banchile Corredores de Bolsa S.A., BBVA Corredores de Bolsa Limitada, Deutsche Securities Corredores de Bolsa Limitada, Larraín Vial S.A. Corredora de Bolsa, and Santander S.A Corredores de Bolsa (in such capacity, the “Chilean Placement Agents”) to: (i) use their best efforts to solicit in Chile, in accordance with Chilean securities laws and regulations and their customary practice, the exercise of the Rights; (ii) subsequent to the Share Rights Offering Expiration Date, to facilitate the placement to investors in Chile of up to the number of Offered Shares, if any, that are not otherwise subscribed for in the Rights Offering; and (iii) provide certain trading and settlement services through the

facilities of the Santiago Stock Exchange (as defined below) in connection with the Rights Offering and the placement of Offered Shares, if any, that are not otherwise subscribed for in the Rights Offering, including the Underwritten ADSs, if any.

The parties hereto agree that nothing herein shall obligate any party to enter into the Placement Facilitation Supplement or the Underwriting Agreement Supplement and that, unless and until the Placement Facilitation Supplement or the Underwriting Agreement Supplement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto, as the case may be, nothing in this Agreement constitutes a commitment by the Placement Agents to place or by the Underwriters to underwrite any Shares or ADSs or other securities or otherwise provide financing. As used in this Agreement, the term “Representatives” shall refer to you as representatives of the Dealer Managers in connection with the Rights Offering, as representatives of the Placement Agents in connection with the Placement Facilitation and as representatives of the Underwriters in connection with the public offering of the Underwritten ADSs, if any, as the case may be.

The Shares to be represented by ADSs are to be deposited pursuant to that certain amended and restated deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”), dated as of September 30, 2010, as amended, among the Company, the Depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the ADRs representing the ADSs, to be issued under the Deposit Agreement. Each ADS will represent 50 Shares. In addition, the Company intends to enter into a rights agency agreement (the “Rights Agency Agreement”) among the Company and the Rights Agent, in relation to the Rights Offering to ADS holders.

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Dealer Managers concerning the Rights Offering and, if applicable, the several Placement Agents concerning the Placement Facilitation and the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Underwritten ADSs, if any, as follows:

If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement.

27


statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Dealer Manager and, if a Placement Facilitation Supplement or an Underwriting Agreement Supplement is executed, each Placement Agent or Underwriter, as the case may be, agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any road show or any Disclosure Package (including any Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended), it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter: the sixth, seventh, ninth, fifteenth and sixteenth paragraphs under the caption “Dealer Managers, Placement Agents and Underwriters”.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to

 

28


actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter, and their affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter shall be designated in writing by J. P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or Underwriters on the other, from the Rights Offering or any Placement Facilitation or offering of the Underwritten ADSs or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the Rights Offering, any placement of Placed Shares and any sale of the Underwritten ADSs bear to the total fees and any underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents or the Underwriters, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2 hereof. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents or the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

29


(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (d) above were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents and the Underwriters collectively were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (d) and (e), in no event shall a Dealer Manager, a Placement Agent or an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the fees received by such Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter with respect to the Rights Offering and any Placed Shares or sale of Underwritten ADSs exceeds the amount of any damages that such Dealer Manager, Placement Agent or Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Dealer Managers’, Placement Agents’ and Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 paragraphs (a) through (e) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Electronic Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade; (ii) trading of any securities issued by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Chilean, U.S. federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in Chile or the United States; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside Chile or the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Rights Offering or the offering, sale or delivery of the Underwritten ADSs on the Closing Date, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

10. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If an Underwriting Agreement Supplement is executed, and on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Underwritten ADSs that it has agreed to purchase in such Underwriting Agreement Supplement on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Underwritten ADSs by other persons reasonably satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Underwritten ADSs, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Underwritten ADSs on such

 

30


terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Underwritten ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date, for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule II hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Underwritten ADSs that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Underwritten ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Underwritten ADSs that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Underwritten ADSs to be purchased on such date, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Underwritten ADSs that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number of Underwritten ADSs that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the Underwritten ADSs of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Underwritten ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Underwritten ADSs that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of Underwritten ADSs to be purchased on such date, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Shares or ADSs and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto), any other materials in connection with the Rights Offering, and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel, including U.S. and Chilean counsel, independent accountants for the Company and any of its subsidiaries, the Depositary and the Rights Agent; (v) the fees and expenses of counsel to the Representatives, including U.S., Canadian and Chilean counsels, and all reasonable charges, taxes and disbursements, including travel expenses; (vi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification of the Shares and ADSs under the state or foreign securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related

 

31


fees and expenses of counsel for the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents and the Underwriters); (vii) the cost of preparing stock certificates; (viii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent and any registrar; (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, FINRA; (x) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; (xi) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the ADSs on the Exchange; and (xii) reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses of the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents and the Underwriters, including database research and travel expenses.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Underwritten ADSs for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Underwritten ADSs (if they enter into an Underwriting Agreement Supplement) for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents and the Underwriters for all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the documented fees and expenses of their counsel and expenses incurred in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors) reasonably incurred by the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement, the Rights Offering, the Placement Facilitation and the offering of the Underwritten ADSs contemplated hereby.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Underwritten ADSs from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Rights Offering, any Placement Facilitation and delivery of and payment for the Underwritten ADSs, if applicable, and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents or the Underwriters.

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

15. Miscellaneous.

(d) Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, any Placement Facilitation Supplement, any Underwriting Agreement Supplement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted by the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents or the Underwriters in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”).

The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in such courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company irrevocably appoints CT Corporation, located at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such authorized agent, and written notice of such service to the Company by the person serving the same to the address provided in this Section 15(d), shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding.

The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

33

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action based on this Agreement may be instituted by the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents or the Underwriters in any competent court in Chile.

2. The Registration Statement, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial and accounting data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act.

 

3. Each Transaction Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

 

4. Each of the Rights Agency Agreement and the Deposit Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

 

5. Each Transaction Document conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

 

6. Assuming the validity of such action under Chilean law, under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, the Company has (i) validly and irrevocably submitted, to

 

1 

Form of opinions in Annexes A-1 to A-5 to be modified as appropriate and customary for delivery on the Settlement Date and any Closing Date, with references to Settlement Date, Applicable Time, and Closing Date, as the case may be, and coverage of any Underwriting Agreement Supplement and Placement Facilitation Supplement, as applicable.

 

A-1-1


  the jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or New York State court located in the City of New York; (ii) validly designated, appointed and empowered an agent for service of process in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under the Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement, the Rights Agency Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, as the case may be, in any U.S. federal or New York State court located in the City of New York; and (iii) validly waived any objection to the venue of the proceeding in a U.S. federal or New York State court located in The City of New York, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), pursuant to Section 15 of the Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement, Section 18 of the Rights Agency Agreement and Section 7.6 of the Deposit Agreement.

7. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents, the compliance by the Company with the terms thereof, the issuance and sale of the Offered Shares being delivered on the Settlement Date and the deposit of the Offered Shares against the issuance of ADSs in accordance with the provisions of the Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds” and the consummation by the Company of the Capital Increase, the Rights Offering and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions thereof will not result in the violation of any New York State or U.S. federal laws or statute, or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any New York State or United States federal court or governmental or regulatory authority that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions of the nature of those contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8. No consent, approval, authorization, order, license, registration or qualification of or filing with any court or governmental or regulatory authority of the State of New York or the United States of America is required under any law of the State of New York or the United States of America, respectively, applicable to the Company that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions of the nature of those contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the compliance by the Company with terms thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions thereof, except such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications as have been obtained or as may be required for the registration of the Offered Shares under the Securities Act, by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or by state securities or blue sky laws.

 

9.

The statements in the Prospectus under the headings “Taxation – Material U.S. Income Tax Considerations”, “Description of American Depositary Shares” and “Description of Rights to Subscribe for Common Stock or ADSs”, to the extent that they constitute summaries of the matters of law or regulation or legal conclusions under the laws of the State of New York or the United States of America, fairly summarize the matters described therein in all material respects; and, to our knowledge, (A) there are no current or pending legal, governmental or regulatory actions, suits or proceedings that are required under the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus and that are not so described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and (B) there are no statutes, regulations or contracts and other documents that are required under the Securities Act to

 

A-1-2


  be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus and that have not been so filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

 

10. The Company is not required, and upon the issuance and sale of the Offered Shares as contemplated in the Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds received by the Company therefrom and from the Capital Increase, including the Rights Offering, as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company will not be required, to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

 

11. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to the date hereof (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial and accounting data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion), when they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

12. Upon due issuance by the Depositary of the ADSs against the deposit of the Offered Shares in respect thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, such ADSs will be duly and validly issued and the persons in whose names such ADSs are registered will be entitled to the rights specified therein and in the Deposit Agreement.

As counsel to the Company, we have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and we have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company, representatives of its independent public accountants and representatives of the Dealer Managers, the Placement Agents and the Underwriters at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto were discussed. We have not verified and are not passing on, and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of, the statements contained the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto (except to the extent provided in paragraphs 5 and 9 of our opinion dated the date hereof delivered to you in connection with the Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement), including the documents incorporated by reference therein. However, on the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we hereby advise you that nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe (i) that the Registration Statement, as of the date of its effectiveness (including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) that the Disclosure Package, as of the Commencement Date contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as of its date and the Commencement Date contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that we express no view with respect to the financial statements and schedules and other financial or accounting data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus).

 

A-1-3


Annex A-2

Form of Opinion of Carey y Cía. Ltda., Chilean Counsel for the Company

 

1. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of Chile, and is duly qualified to do business and operate its properties under the laws of Chile, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is being conducted and as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, and the Company’s by-laws are in full force as of this date.

 

2. The Company has full corporate power and authority and has taken all necessary actions to enter into each of the Transaction Documents, and to perform its obligations and to incur liabilities thereunder, and each Transaction Document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

 

3. There is no provision of any treaty, law, statute, regulation or decree in or of Chile which would prohibit, conflict with or in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of any of the Transaction Documents, or which, solely by reason of the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of any such Transaction Document, would result in the creation or imposition under Chilean law of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature upon any property of the Company.

 

4. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, provided that, in order to bring an action thereon in the courts of Chile, such documents would have to be originally executed in the Spanish language or if not in Spanish will have to be translated into the Spanish language by a sworn public translator appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile or by the court (which translation could be effected in relation to any document at any time prior to such document being so admitted in evidence).

 

5. Except for the fact that Chilean law does not contemplate remedies in equity, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement do not contravene the public policy or laws of Chile or any political subdivision thereof.

 

6. The Shares and the Rights are freely issued and transferable free of encumbrances by the Company to or for the accounts of subscribers therefor upon exercise of Rights and to or for the accounts of subscribers procured by the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or Underwriters or to or for the accounts of the Underwriters, in the manner contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement; there are no restrictions on subsequent transfers of Shares except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

 

7.

The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in the column entitled “Actual” under the caption “Capitalization.” The Shares and all other outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and conform to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and none of the outstanding shares of capital stock issued by the Company in connection with the Capital Increase were issued in violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any

 

A-2-1


  securityholder of the Company; the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters or to or for the accounts of subscribers procured by the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or Underwriters, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth in such agreement, will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and no holder of the Shares is or will be subject to personal liability for any actions of or any debts or obligations of the Company only by reason of being such a holder; the Shares rank pari passu with all other issued shares of the Company and may be freely deposited by the Company with the Depositary against the issuance or ADRs evidencing the ADSs; except as set forth in the Disclosure Package, the shareholders of the Company have no preemptive or similar rights with respect to the Shares; and except as set forth in the Disclosure Package, there are no (A) options, warrants or other rights to purchase, (B) agreements or other obligations to issue or (C) other rights to convert any obligation into, or exchange any securities for, any Shares, Rights or ADSs.

 

8. The Rights when first issued have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Company’s bylaws and Chilean law and conform to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package.

 

9. Insofar as matters of Chilean law are concerned, the Registration Statement and the filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission have been duly authorized by and on behalf of the Company; and the Registration Statement has been duly executed pursuant to such authorization by and on behalf of the Company.

 

10. No exchange control authorization or any other notification, order, authorization, approval, consent or license of any governmental or regulatory authority agency or court in the Republic of Chile is required for the payment of any amounts payable under the Transaction Documents, save for notifications to be made to the Central Bank of Chile pursuant to current foreign exchange regulations. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package, all payments on or under the Transaction Documents will be free and clear of any other tax, duty, withholding or deduction in Chile or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein and may be paid in Chilean pesos that may be converted into another currency and freely transferred out of Chile, without the necessity of obtaining any governmental authorization in Chile or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, provided applicable reporting requirements to the Central Bank of Chile and taxing authorities are complied with.

 

11. Except for the filing of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any other documentation filed with the Commission, duly translated into Spanish, with the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros and the Santiago Stock Exchange, no consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of any court or governmental agency or body in Chile is required in connection with the consummation of the Capital Increase, the Rights Offering and any of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

12. The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, including without limitation the consummation of the Capital Increase, the Rights Offering and the offer and/or sale of the Shares and ADSs and the deposit of the Shares with the Depositary against the issuance of ADRs evidencing the ADSs, will not conflict with or constitute or result in a breach of or a default under (or an event that with notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default under) or violation of any of (A) the bylaws of the Company or (B) any Chilean statute, rule or regulation or, to the best of our knowledge, any judgment, decree or order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its properties or assets.

 

A-2-2


13. The descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package of Chilean statutes, legal, governmental and regulatory proceedings are accurate in all material respects; and the statements in each of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package under the headings “Description of Share Capital”, “Taxation – Chilean Tax Considerations”, “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities”, “Exchange Rates; Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Chile”, “The Rights Offering”, “The In-Kind Contribution” and “The Appraisal Reports”, to the extent that they constitute summaries of matters of Chilean law or regulation or legal conclusions under Chilean law, fairly and accurately summarize the matters described therein in all material respects.

 

14. Each Transaction Document is in proper legal form under the laws of Chile for the enforcement thereof against the Company in Chile without the need to obtain any other consent, approval or authorization, to file any notification or to take any further action to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of each Transaction Document, and except for its official translation into Spanish for its presentation to a Chilean court, at the time of such presentation, and subject to the payment of the applicable stamp tax or evidence that in this case such tax is not required to be paid due to the existence of an exemption thereof, it is not necessary that any other document be filed or recorded with any court or other authority in Chile or that any stamp or similar tax be paid on or in respect of any such document or of the Shares, Rights or ADSs.

 

15. To the best of our knowledge, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company in Chile, challenging the validity of the execution, delivery and/or performance by the Company of any of the Transaction Documents or the Rights Offering or that are otherwise material in the context of the Capital Increase, the Rights Offering or any offer and sale of the Shares or ADSs.

 

16. Except as expressly set forth in the Prospectus, no stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties and no capital gains, income, withholding or other taxes are payable by or on behalf of the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents or Underwriters or the Depositary to Chile or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in connection with (A) the sale of the ADSs, if any, to the Underwriters in the manner contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement; (B) the sale and delivery outside Chile by the Underwriters of the ADSs, if any, to the initial purchasers thereof (other than the income of any Underwriter whose net income is subject to tax by Chile); (C) entering into the Underwriting Agreement or the Deposit Agreement or receiving payments thereunder; or (D) the execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under the Deposit Agreement, and the deposit of the Shares under the Deposit Agreement against the issuance of ADRs evidencing the ADSs.

 

17. The choice of the law of the State of New York to govern the Transaction Documents is, under the laws of Chile, a valid choice of governing law and will be honored in a suit on any such document brought in the courts of Chile.

 

18.

Except as described in the Disclosure Package, under the current laws and regulations of Chile, all dividends and other distributions declared and payable on the Shares may be paid by the Company to the Depositary and to the holders of ADRs, as applicable, in Chile and may be converted into foreign currency and freely transferred out of Chile, and all such dividends and other distributions made to holders of Shares who are non-residents of Chile will not be subject to Chilean income, withholding or other taxes under the laws and regulations of Chile. In this regard, please note that as a general rule, dividends and other distributions declared and payable

 

A-2-3


  on the Shares would be subject only to a withholding tax of 35% (which may be reduced by certain tax credits discussed in the Prospectus under the caption “Taxation – Chilean Tax Considerations”) but otherwise are free and clear of any tax, duty, withholding or deduction imposed by or in Chile.

 

19. It is not necessary under the laws of Chile that the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents and Underwriters be licensed, qualified or entitled to carry on business in Chile, (i) to enable any of them to enforce their respective rights under the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) solely by reason of the execution, delivery or performance of any such Transaction Document and none of the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents and Underwriters or holders of Shares or ADSs will be deemed resident, domiciled or carrying on business or subject to taxation in Chile solely by reason of its holding of Shares or ADSs or the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents.

 

20. The submission by the Company to the jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the City of New York, with respect to matters arising under or in connection with the Transaction Documents as set forth therein, is valid and effective under the laws of Chile and, assuming validity under the laws of the State of New York, the appointment by the Company of an agent for service of process in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under the Underwriting Agreement and the Deposit Agreement in any U.S. federal or New York state court located in the City of New York in respect of a claim or action in a U.S. court pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or the Deposit Agreement, will be effective, insofar as Chilean law is concerned, to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Company.

 

  (i) A final, valid and conclusive judgment in connection with the Transaction Documents for the payment of a fixed and readily calculable sum of money against the Company, obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, would be recognized and enforced against the Company, by the courts in Chile, so long as the following conditions were met, the satisfaction of which will be determined by the Supreme Court of Chile:

 

  (A) If there is a treaty between Chile and the country where the judgment was rendered with respect to the enforcement of foreign judgments, the provisions of said treaty shall be applied. There is currently no treaty as to the enforcement of non-arbitral foreign judgments in effect between Chile and the United States of America;

 

  (B) If there is no such treaty, the judgment shall be enforced if there is reciprocity as to the enforcement of judgments (i.e., the relevant court sitting in the State of New York would enforce a judgment of a Chilean court under comparable circumstances);

 

  (C) If it can be proved that there is no reciprocity, the judgment cannot be enforced;

 

  (D)

If there is no treaty and both reciprocity and lack of reciprocity cannot be proved, the judgment will nonetheless be enforced if (1) it does not contain anything contrary to the laws of Chile, notwithstanding differences in procedural rules, (2) it is not in conflict with Chilean jurisdiction, (3) it has not been rendered by default within the meaning of Chilean law and (4) it is final under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction rendering such judgment. We are of the opinion that the judgment would not be considered to have been rendered by default if personal service of process was made upon the process agent of the Company

 

A-2-4


  designated pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, assuming such manner of service to be valid under the laws of the State of New York, unless the defendant were able to prove that, due to other reasons, it was prevented from making use of its legal means of defense. We note that there are decisions of the Supreme Court of Chile that have considered that the service of process by means of mailing copies to the defendant was not effective to cause proper service of process and, consequently, have denied enforcement in Chile of a judgment rendered in a proceeding in which legal process was served by means of mailing copies to the party whom enforcement of the judgment is sought in Chile. A judgment rendered by New York State or Federal Courts will be in conflict with Chilean jurisdiction if it affects in any way properties located in Chile, which are as a matter of Chilean law subject to the laws of Chile and to the jurisdiction of Chilean courts. We note that whether a judgment is final and conclusive will depend on the laws of the foreign jurisdiction in which the judgment is rendered and this must be proven to Chilean courts, which courts may hear whatever presentation the party against whom enforcement is sought wishes to make with respect to such question; and

 

  (E) In any event, the judgment shall not be contrary to the public policy of Chile or to the basic and fundamental principles of Chilean law. Disclaimers of liability will only be enforceable if there is no gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the party making such disclaimer.

Assuming such a foreign final judgment complied with the standards set forth in this paragraph (t)(ii), and in the absence of any condition referred to above which would render a foreign judgment unenforceable, the Dealer Managers, Placement Agents and Underwriters will be entitled to enforce such judgment in Chile by proceedings for the enforcement of a foreign final judgment under the laws of Chile. To enforce such judgment, it must be presented to the Supreme Court of Chile, in the form of a copy legalized by the Chilean Consul in the foreign jurisdiction and, if not in Spanish, duly translated into Spanish by a sworn public translator appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile or by the court.

 

21. Neither the Company nor the Company’s assets or revenues are subject to any right of immunity under Chilean law from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any Chilean court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court with respect to their respective obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection herewith; and, to the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings arising out of, or relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, may at any time be commenced, the Company has, pursuant to Section 15 of the Underwriting Agreement, duly and validly waived such right to the extent permitted by law.

 

22.

Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or accounting, financial or statistical information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of this opinion letter, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the

 

A-2-5


  Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid). Without limiting the foregoing, we assume no responsibility for, and have not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the accounting, financial and statistical data included in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package.

However, in the course of our acting as special Chilean counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, we participated in certain conferences and telephone conversations with officials of the Company, your representatives and representatives of the Company’s United States counsel, during which contents of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package and related matters were discussed, and we reviewed other documents furnished to us by the Company. Based on our participation in the conferences and conversations and our examination of the documents we reviewed, we advise you that: nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time of its effective date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that the Disclosure Package, as of the Commencement Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as of its date and the Commencement Date, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial statements and other accounting, financial or statistical information contained therein, as to which we express no view).

7. Neither the Company nor any of its Chilean subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents; (ii) in default, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Chilean subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Chilean subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Chilean subsidiaries is subject; or (iii) in violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such default or violation as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Nothing has come to my attention to cause me to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time of its effective date (including the information, if any deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that the Disclosure Package, as of the Commencement Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its date and the Commencement Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial statements and other financial and accounting information (and statistical data derived therefrom) contained therein, as to which I express no belief).

As Representatives of the several Dealer Managers, Placement Agents and Underwriters

Re: Enersis S.A. – Rights Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as Representatives of the several Dealer Managers, Placement Agents and Underwriters, propose to enter into a Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement (the “Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement”) with Enersis S.A., a Chilean corporation (the “Company”), providing for a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) for shares of common stock of the Company with no par value (the “Shares”), including in the form of American Depositary Shares. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Dealer Manager, Placement Facilitation and Underwriting Agreement.

In consideration of the Dealer Managers’ agreement to perform those services in connection with the Rights Offering as are customarily performed by investment banking concerns in connection with rights offerings of like nature, including the solicitation of exercise of the Rights, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, the undersigned will not, during the period ending 90 days after the date of the prospectus relating to the Rights Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares (including without limitation, Shares or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant), or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the
