Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Telvent GIT, S.A., a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of The Kingdom of Spain (the “Company”), proposes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Agreement”), to issue and sell to you, as the initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”), $175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “Firm Securities”). The Firm Securities will (i) have terms and provisions that are summarized in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and Offering Memorandum (as defined below) and (ii) are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”) to be entered into between the Company and BNY Corporate Trustee Services Limited, as trustee (the “Trustee”) following the registration by the Company of a public deed of issuance (escritura de emisión, the “Public Deed of Issuance”) with the Mercantile Registry of Madrid. The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers not more than an additional $25,000,000 principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “Additional Securities”) if and to the extent that you, as Representatives of the Initial Purchasers, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, the right to purchase such 5.50% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2015 granted to the Initial Purchasers in Section 3(a) hereof. The Firm Securities and the Additional Securities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities”. The Securities will be convertible, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, into the Company’s ordinary shares (€ 3.00505 nominal value per share) (the “Underlying Securities”). This is to confirm the agreement concerning the purchase of the Securities from the Company by the Initial Purchasers.

     On or about the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company will fund its new syndicated facilities agreement (the “Senior Credit Facility”), dated March 23, 2010, among the Company and ING Bank N.V. London Branch (as agent), ING Belgium, S.A., Sucursal en

España, Caja de Ahorros y Monte de ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (also known as Caixa d’Estalvis i Pensions de Barcelona), Barclays Bank, S.A., and The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., Sucursal en España (collectively, as lenders). The proceeds from the funding of the Senior Credit Facility will be used for the purposes set forth in the Company’s Report on Form 6-K, dated March 23, 2010, as amended by the Company’s Report on Form 6-K/A, dated March 30, 2010, relating to the Senior Credit Facility (together, the “Senior Credit Facility 6-K”).

     1. Purchase and Resale of the Securities. The Securities will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers without registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on an exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated April 5, 2010 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), a pricing term sheet substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule II (the “Pricing Term Sheet”) setting forth the terms of the Securities omitted from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and an offering memorandum, dated April 6, 2010 (the “Offering Memorandum”), setting forth information regarding the Company and the Securities (as defined herein). The Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), together with the Pricing Term Sheet and any of the documents listed on Schedule III hereto are collectively referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum in connection with the offering and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. “Applicable Time” means 5:45 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement.

     Any reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include (i) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, (ii) the Senior Credit Facility 6-K, and (iii) any documents subsequently filed (but not furnished) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or prior to the date of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be. Any reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, as amended or supplemented, as of any specified date, shall be deemed to include (i) any documents filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, and prior to such specified date. All documents filed under the Exchange Act and so deemed to be included in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto are hereinafter called the “Exchange Act Reports.” The Exchange Act Reports, when they were or are filed with the Commission, conformed or will conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

     It is understood and acknowledged that upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear

In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and its respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Initial Purchasers or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities under this Agreement as set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, or the Initial Purchasers, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale to Eligible Purchasers of the Securities initially purchased by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any 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 Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

          (e) The Initial Purchasers severally confirm and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the statements with respect to the offering of the Securities by the Initial

Purchasers set forth in the first paragraph of the sub-section entitled “Plan of Distribution— Stabilization and Short Positions” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

     9. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. If on the Closing Date, or on an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase the Securities that the defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, in the respective proportions that the principal amount of Securities set opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total principal amount of Securities set opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, that the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Securities on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, if the aggregate principal amount of Securities that the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, or on the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, and any remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date, or on the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of Section 3. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, or on the Option Closing Date, as the case may be.

          If other Initial Purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, either the remaining Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement.

          If the remaining Initial Purchasers or other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase: (a) the Securities that the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company; or (b) the Additional Securities that the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the option to either: (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date; or (ii) purchase not less than the principal amount of Additional Securities that such non-defaulting Initial Purchaser would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default.

          As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

          Nothing contained herein shall relieve: (a) a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default; or (b) the Company of any liability for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 6 and 11.

     10. Termination. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 7(i) or (n) shall have occurred or if the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

     11. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If (a) the Company fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (b) the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers.

     12. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

          (a) if to any Initial Purchaser, shall be delivered or sent by hand delivery, mail, telex, overnight courier or facsimile transmission to Barclays Capital Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Syndicate Registration (Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇), and RBS Securities Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇), with a copy to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇), and with a copy, in the case of any notice pursuant to Section 8(c), to Director of Litigation, Office of the General Counsel, Barclays Capital Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and Group Legal, RBS Securities Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, (Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇);

          (b) if to the Company, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex, overnight courier or facsimile transmission to Telvent GIT, S.A., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: President (Fax: ▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇.▇▇ ), with a copy to Squire, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ L.L.P., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇);

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect at the time of

receipt thereof. The Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by Barclays Capital Inc. and RBS Securities Inc.

     13. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company, and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of directors, officers and employees of the Initial Purchasers and each person or persons, if any, controlling any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 13, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

     14. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them.

     15. Definition of the Terms “Business Day,” “Affiliate” and “Subsidiary.” For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed or a day on which commercial banks in Madrid are closed for business and (b) “affiliate” and “subsidiary” have the meanings set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

     16. Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company brought by the Purchasers or by any person who controls the Purchasers, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company will irrevocably appoint CT Corporation System, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ as its Authorized Agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, by the Initial Purchasers or by any

person who controls the Initial Purchasers, and the Company expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding, and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Company represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Company shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any suit, action or proceeding based on this Agreement may be instituted by an Initial Purchaser in any competent court in The Kingdom of Spain.

     (b) The Company and each of the Initial Purchasers hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     (c) The obligation of the Company in respect of any sum due to any Initial Purchaser under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or any other applicable currency (the “Judgment Currency”), not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Initial Purchaser of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Initial Purchaser may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars or any other applicable currency with the Judgment Currency; if the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Initial Purchaser against such loss. If the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder, such Initial Purchaser agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased over the sum originally due to such Initial Purchaser hereunder.

     (d) With respect to any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled, and with respect to any such suit or proceeding, each party waives any such immunity in any court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such suit or proceeding, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

     17. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, or any other services the Initial Purchasers may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Initial Purchasers: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company, and any other person, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, exists; (ii) the Initial Purchasers are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Company, including, without limitation, with

respect to the determination of the purchase price of the Securities, and such relationship between the Company, and the Initial Purchasers is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Initial Purchasers may have to the Company shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company hereby waive any claims that the Company may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Securities.

     18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

     19. Headings. The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

     20. Tax treatment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (and the Company’s employees, representatives, and other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without the Initial Purchasers’ imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means U.S. federal and state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
