ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article V, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with its rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”)), the Offer, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, so long as the Company is in compliance with its obligations to provide information contained in the second sentence of Section 1.1(d), within ten (10) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, if the Company is not ready to file the Schedule 14D-9 on the same date as the commencement of the Offer, then such deadline shall automatically be extended until such date as the Company is ready to file the Schedule 14D-9. Purchaser shall give the Company three (3) Business Days notice of the expected commencement date.

(b) The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment and pay for any Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer, and not validly withdrawn prior to any then-scheduled Expiration Time, that number of Shares which represents at least forty percent (40%) of the total number of Shares authorized and issued on the date hereof (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Purchaser, in their sole discretion, of the conditions or requirements set forth in Annex A attached hereto (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”), other than the Minimum Condition. The Offer Price payable in respect of each Share validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Parent and Purchaser expressly reserve the right (in their sole discretion) to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition or to increase the Offer Price; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not

(i) decrease the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ii) decrease the number of Shares subject to the Offer, (iii) add to the conditions set forth on Annex A, (iv) amend or modify any Offer Condition in a manner that is adverse to the Company Shareholders, (v) waive or amend the Minimum Condition, (vi) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.1, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement the terms of the Offer in a manner that is adverse to the Company Shareholders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser expressly reserves the right (exercisable in its sole discretion) to increase the Offer Price or to waive any of the Offer Conditions, other than the Minimum Condition.

(d) Purchaser shall file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) on the date that the Offer is commenced, which Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase, form of transmittal letter and form of notice of guaranteed delivery (such Schedule TO, including all such exhibits, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and, subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 1.2(b), cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the Company Shareholders in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Purchaser all information concerning the Company that is required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents or that is otherwise reasonably requested by Parent or Purchaser for inclusion in the Offer Documents or in connection with the obligations relating to the Offer Documents contained in this Section 1.1(d). Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company Shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent and Purchaser, on the one hand, agree to amend the Offer Documents and the Company, on the other hand, agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents, if and to the extent such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent and Purchaser further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so amended (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company Shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the Company Shareholders, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. Parent and Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between them and their representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and shall give the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the

response of Parent and Purchaser to those comments and to provide comments on any response, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. Prior to responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such response, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, the Offer shall remain open until midnight, New York City time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (as defined in Rule 14d-1 under the Exchange Act) following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the parties’ respective rights to terminate this Agreement under Article V, if applicable, (i) Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Company, extend the Offer on one or more occasions if on any then-scheduled Expiration Time any of the Offer Conditions shall not be satisfied or, as permitted by this Agreement, waived, until such time as such condition or conditions are satisfied or so waived, (ii) Purchaser shall extend the Offer for any period required by applicable Law, any interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or NASDAQ applicable to the Offer, (iii) in the event that any of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition) shall have not been satisfied or, as permitted by this Agreement, waived as of any then-scheduled Expiration Time, then Purchaser, at the request of the Company, shall extend the Offer for a period reasonably requested by the Company and (iv) in the event that the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied as of the then-scheduled Expiration Time and all of the other conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A shall have been satisfied as of such Expiration Time, then, at the request of the Company, Parent shall cause Purchaser to extend the Offer for one extension period of up to twenty (20) Business Days, the length of such period to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required or permitted to extend the Offer beyond December 31, 2011 (the “Outside Date”).

(f) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, consummate the Offer and accept for payment and pay for (subject to any withholding of Taxes pursuant to Section 1.1(h)) all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.1). Acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions upon the Expiration Time is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing,” and the date on which the Offer

Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date.” Unless this Agreement and the Offer are terminated in accordance with Article V prior to the Offer Closing, Parent shall cause Purchaser to extend the Offer for a “subsequent offering period” of not less than twenty (20) Business Days, and Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, extend the Offer for additional “subsequent offering periods” (and one or more extensions thereof), all in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act. The Offer Documents shall disclose the initial “subsequent offering period” and may, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, provide for such a reservation of right with respect to any additional “subsequent offering periods.” Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to applicable rules of the SEC and the terms and conditions of the Offer, Purchaser expressly reserves the right to delay payment for Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable Law. Any such delay in payment shall be effected in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Nothing contained in this Section 1.1 shall affect any termination rights in Article V, as to the Agreement, or in Annex A, as to the Offer.

(g) Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article V. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Purchaser, or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article V, prior to the acceptance for payment of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof. This Agreement may not be terminated by Parent or Purchaser for any reason following acceptance for payment of the Shares tendered in the Offer but prior to payment for such Shares.

(h) Parent, Purchaser and any depositoryacting on behalf of Parent or Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to the Offer such amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, or under any provision of any state, local or foreign Tax Law, including applicable Spanish Tax Law. To the extent amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Any amounts so withheld shall be paid over promptly to the appropriate taxing authority and Purchaser shall provide prompt written notice to the Persons from whom such amounts are withheld, specifying the amounts so withheld and the taxing authorities to which the withheld amounts have been paid.

The Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause as promptly as practicable the Schedule 14D-9, as so amended (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company Shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

Parent and Purchaser shall reimburse the Company promptly for any expense incurred by the Company pursuant to this Section 1.2(b).

public statement with reference to an Alternative Proposal that is inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) (it being understood and agreed that neither any “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of Directors to the Company Shareholders, nor the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to take a position with respect to an Alternative Proposal in connection with such Alternative Proposal, in either case pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, shall constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change) or (ii) authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or merger, acquisition or similar agreement with respect to, or that is intended to or could reasonably be expected to lead to any Alternative Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.2(b) if permitted by Section 4.2(b)).

Until the Offer Closing, the information provided pursuant to this Section 4.5 will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 4.7 Convertible Notes.

(a) Following the date hereof and at any time prior to the Offer Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause Purchaser to, commence a tender offer (the “Convertible Notes Offer”) for all of the outstanding Convertible Notes on such terms and subject to such conditions as are determined by Parent in its absolute discretion (the “Convertible Notes Offer Conditions”).

The Convertible Notes Offer and other actions taken in connection therewith shall be conducted in accordance with the Exchange Act, all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and other applicable Law.

(b) Parent shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Convertible Notes Offer (including all mailings to holders of the Convertible Notes (the “Company Convertible Noteholders”), including an offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and a notice of guaranteed delivery, all SEC filings and any supplements or amendments thereto (the “Convertible Notes Offer Documents”)).

Prior to the filing of the Convertible Notes Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the Company Convertible Noteholders, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Convertible Notes Offer Documents. If at any time prior to the completion of the Convertible Notes Offer any information in the Convertible Notes Offer Documents should be discovered by Parent or Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Convertible Notes Offer Documents, so that the Convertible Notes Offer Documents shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties, and an appropriate amendment or supplement prepared by Parent (subject to the review of, and comment by, the Company) describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of Parent, or Purchaser, as applicable, to the Company Convertible Noteholders.

(c) The Company shall take all actions that are required pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Convertible Notes Indenture, including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 14 (Conversion of Notes) and Article 15 (Repurchase of Notes Upon a Fundamental Change) thereof, in connection with the Offer Closing.

written notice to the Convertible Noteholders of the anticipated effective date of the Offer Closing and (ii) in the event that the Offer Closing constitutes a Fundamental Change, provide the Convertible Noteholders with a Fundamental Change Company Notice with respect to the Offer Closing. The Company shall elect Cash Settlement as the Settlement Method for the conversion of any and all Convertible Notes following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted under the Convertible Notes Indenture, (x) the Company shall not issue or deliver Shares to any Company Noteholder in connection with the conversion of Convertible Notes at any time from and after the Offer Closing and (y) the Company shall take any and all actions under to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture that are necessary to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.7(c), including, without limitation, by delivering, and causing the Conversion Agent to deliver, to the Convertible Noteholders Settlement Notices specifying Cash Settlement as the Settlement Method in respect of any applicable Conversion Date. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used in this Section 4.7(c) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Convertible Notes Indenture.

(a) Subject to Parent satisfying its obligations under this Section 4.9, and at or as promptly as practicable following the Offer Closing, the Company shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, pay off, discharge and terminate in full all indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Contract by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, with any Affiliate of the Company (other than any Subsidiary of the Company), on the other hand, as set forth on Section 2.4(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter. As promptly as practicable following the date on which Parent and Purchaser shall have acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares and subject to Parent satisfying its obligations under this Section 4.9, the Company shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, pay off, discharge and terminate in full all other indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is then repayable or becomes repayable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract governing such indebtedness, as set forth on Section 2.4(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Parent shall provide to the Company, or shall cause to be provided to the Company, pursuant to mutually acceptable agreements, funds in an amount sufficient, when added to the available cash balances of the Company that the management of the Company reasonably determines are not necessary or useful to maintain for purposes of the Company’s working capital needs, to pay off and discharge such indebtedness for borrowed money (including any applicable prepayment penalties, fees or premiums), on terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms that existed immediately prior to the date hereof.

(b) Parent and the Company shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to cause either Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries to be substituted in all respects for Abengoa and any of its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) under, and for Abengoa and any of its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) to be released from, no later than three months following the Offer Closing, any guaranty or other arrangement having the economic effect of a guaranty by Abengoa or any of its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) of indebtedness for borrowed money or other obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth in Section 2.12 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 4.10 Officer and Director Indemnification.

of legal counsel) in connection with any claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnitee was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Offer Closing Date (including any claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnitee), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, and (ii) assume all obligations of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Offer Closing Date as provided in the Company Organizational Documents and the Organizational Documents of such Subsidiaries or in any agreement in existence as of the date hereof and filed as an exhibit to or scheduled as an exhibit to any Company SEC Document providing for indemnification between the Company and any director. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Offer Closing Date until six years from the Offer Closing Date, shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the Organizational Documents of the Company to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Organizational Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees. In addition, from the Offer Closing Date until six years from the Offer Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company to, advance any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section 4.10 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred to in this Section 4.10) as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the individual to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it shall be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.10(a).

(b) The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and control the defense of any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 4.10 (each, a “Claim”); provided that none of Parent, the Purchaser or the Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such Claim for which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnitee hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnitee otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Each of Parent, the Purchaser, the Company and the Indemnitees shall

cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Offer Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Company to maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Offer Closing Date with respect to those individuals who are currently (and any additional individuals who prior to the Offer Closing Date become) covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to such individuals than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof (or Parent may substitute therefor policies, issued by reputable insurers, of at least the same coverage with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Offer Closing Date, including a “tail” policy); provided, however, that, if the annual premium for such insurance shall exceed 200% of the current annual premium (such 200% threshold, the “Maximum Premium”), then Parent shall provide or cause to be provided a policy for the applicable individuals with the best coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium. The Company may prior to the Offer Closing Date purchase, for an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate Maximum Premium for six years, a six-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Offer Closing Date, covering without limitation the Transactions. If such prepaid “tail policy” has been obtained by the Company, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 4.10 and Parent shall cause the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

(d) From and after the Offer Closing Date (but not prior thereto), the provisions of this Section 4.10 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the Company Organizational Documents, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent, the Purchaser and the Company under this Section 4.10 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 4.10 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 4.10 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.10).

(e) In the event that Parent, the Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent , the Purchaser or the Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 4.10.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 4.11 Parent Guarantee. Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees each and every obligation of Purchaser under this Agreement and the Offer Documents (the “Guarantee”). Parent and Purchaser, and following the Offer Closing, and the Company, shall not assert any position challenging the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent with respect to the Guarantee, or the enforceability of the Guarantee in accordance with its terms for the benefit of the Company Stockholders.

Section 4.12 Employee Matters.

(a) From and after the Offer Closing, the Company shall, and Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Company to, honor all compensation arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Offer Closing, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the amendment or termination of any Company benefit plans, arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms and applicable Law. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Offer Closing, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each current and former employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries other than such employees covered by collective bargaining agreements or works council or other similar representative arrangements (“Company Employees”) compensation opportunities and benefits (excluding equity-based compensation or other long-term compensation and change of control benefits) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the compensation opportunities and benefits provided to Company Employees immediately before the Offer Closing (excluding equity-based compensation or other long-term compensation and change of control benefits), it being understood that each element of compensation and benefits may be different from the individual elements of compensation and benefits provided to Company Employees prior to the Offer Closing.

(b) For eligibility to participate under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Offer

Closing (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Offer Closing, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Offer Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Company employee benefit plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Offer Closing. In addition, such service shall also be credited for purposes of determining the levels of severance pay and paid time off to which a Company Employee is entitled. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Parent causes the Company Employees to participant in New Plans in the plan year in which the Offer Closing occurs (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all such New Plans, unless such employee would not have been eligible to participate under comparable plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Offer Closing and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Offer Closing and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the consummation of the Offer (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”) ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

The provisions in clause (ii) of this Section 4.13(a) shall not apply if, at any time, both (x) Parent and/or Purchaser shall beneficially own Shares representing not less than

seventy percent (70%) of the total authorized and issued Shares and (y) the de-listing of the Company from NASDAQ is approved at a general shareholders’ meeting following the procedure established in the Spanish company law. As promptly as practicable following the time as of which Parent and/or Purchaser shall beneficially own seventy percent (70%) of the total authorized and issued Shares, Parent and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to call a general shareholders’ meeting for the purposes of obtaining the Redemption Shareholder Approval.

(b) Parent and Purchaser covenant and agree that approval by the Company Board of any amendment, waiver, consent or termination of this Agreement or the Offer shall be effective only to the extent approved by a majority of the “independent directors” (as defined in clause (i) of Section 4.13(a)) of the Company. The provisions of this Section 4.13(b) shall not apply following such time as none of the minority protections set forth in Section 4.13(a) apply.
