ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION. Article 24 of the Articles of Association: The compensation payable to the<br />

Members of the Board will consist of a monthly fixed sum <strong>and</strong> allowances <strong>for</strong> attendance of the meetings<br />

of the Board of Directors <strong>and</strong> its Committees. The amount payable by the Company to its Directors as both<br />

fixed compensation <strong>and</strong> allowances shall be that set <strong>for</strong> this purpose by the General Shareholders’<br />

Meeting. These sums shall remain in <strong>for</strong>ce until a modification to these is agreed. The setting of the exact<br />

amount payable within these limits <strong>and</strong> its distribution between the various Board Members shall be<br />

decided upon by the Board of Directors. Furthermore <strong>and</strong> independently from the a<strong>for</strong>ementioned<br />

compensation, it is provided to set compensation schemes with a shares listing reference basis or those<br />

causing the issuance of shares or call options <strong>for</strong> the Directors. The implementation of these<br />

compensation schemes shall be agreed by the General Shareholders’ Meeting which shall establish the<br />

share values to be taken as reference, the number of shares to be delivered to each Director, the strike<br />

price of the call options, the period <strong>for</strong> this compensation system <strong>and</strong> any other appropriate conditions.<br />

The compensation provided in this Section shall be compatible with <strong>and</strong> independent from the wage,<br />

each contract, those established <strong>for</strong> Board of Directors members having an employment relationship with<br />

the Company, both of ordinary or of a special nature as top-managers, or as renders of other types of<br />

services subject to the fact that these amounts shall be registered in the Annual Report as provided in<br />

Section 200,12 of the Spanish Limited Companies Act <strong>and</strong> other applicable provisions.<br />

work of the beneficiaries <strong>and</strong> does not simply derive from the general evolution of the markets or the<br />

business sector of the Company. It will also endeavour that the remuneration related to earnings take into<br />

account the possible exceptions in the external Audit Report <strong>and</strong> that the remuneration of the external<br />

Directors is adapted to the remuneration of the commitment, qualifications <strong>and</strong> responsibilities which the<br />

post dem<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> does not involve such a large amount that it might compromise their independence, in<br />
