The Put Options may be exercised in whole or in part by each Capital Fund only once at any time between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. from and including the Option Determination Date to and including January 23, 2012 (the “Option Expiration Date”).  The date on which the Put Options held by any Capital Fund are exercised is referred to as the “Option Exercise Date” with respect to such Capital Fund.
 
All dividends and other distributions paid in cash in respect of the Capital ADSs for which the record date falls during the period from and including December 23, 2010 to but excluding the date on which Repsol becomes the holder of record of any ADSs put to it by any such Capital Fund (any such period, a “Recapture Period”) shall, on the third trading day following the Option Exercise Date (any such date, an “Option Settlement Date”), be repaid by the relevant Capital Fund to Repsol in respect of the number of Capital ADSs put to Repsol by such Capital Fund on the relevant Option Exercise Date.  Other than dividends of Class D Shares, for which a customary anti-dilution adjustment will be made, all non-cash dividends and other distributions, whether in the form of securities or assets of the Issuer, issued or distributed in respect of the Capital ADSs for which the record date falls during a Recapture Period shall at such Capital Fund’s election, to the extent of the number of Capital ADSs put to Repsol by such Capital Fund on an Option Exercise Date, either (i) be sold by such Capital Fund in an arm’s length transaction to an unaffiliated third party (subject to Repsol’s right of first refusal) and the proceeds thereof shall be paid by such Capital Fund to Repsol on the relevant Option Settlement Date or, in certain limited circumstances, shortly thereafter or (ii) be delivered to Repsol by such Capital Fund on the relevant Option Settlement Date or, in certain limited circumstances, shortly thereafter.
 
The Put Options are freely transferrable among the Capital Funds.  The Capital Put Option Agreements also contain other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties by the parties thereto.

Repsol has agreed to cause the Issuer to agree to indemnify the respective Purchasers and their respective affiliates for any losses that they incur arising out of or based on an untrue or an alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or an alleged omission of a material fact in the registration statement or any prospectus, subject to certain specified exceptions.  In connection with information provided to the Issuer by the respective Purchasers, each respective Purchaser has agreed to indemnify the Issuer and its affiliates for any losses that they incur arising out of or based on an untrue or an alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or an alleged omission of a material fact in the registration statement or any prospectus, but only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission is based on information furnished in writing to the Issuer by such Purchaser.
 
In the event that the Issuer fails to keep a continuously effective registration statement or registration statements in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements, Repsol shall be required to pay certain specified damages to the respective Purchasers.
 
The Purchased ADSs and the associated registration rights under the respective Registration Rights Agreements may be transferred and assigned by the respective Purchasers with Repsol’s consent and in accordance with applicable securities laws.
