reliability of service, as well as maintaining suitably trained personnel. In

(one hundred percent) by December 31, 2004, maintaining that level
during the remaining term of the concession;

treatment to a minimum of: (i) 82.1% (eight-two point one percent)
by December 31, 2004; (ii) 86.1% (eighty six point one percent) by

percentages in that subparagraph.

ss. 3. Insofar as the assured return on the employed capital, compatible with
the average obtained in the rest of the concession area, as measured in the six
(6) months immediately prior, is determined to be important to the public
interest, the GRANTOR may direct the GRANTEE, within a reasonable period, to
begin to provide the awarded service in areas that do not have a functioning
water distribution and wastewater collection system, or to begin to respond to
the needs of special consumers.

ss. 4. The GRANTOR, for the purpose of guaranteeing the return referred to in

the return on the employed capital referred to in paragraph 3 is assured, the
failure of the GRANTEE to respond to the order will mean the immediate loss of
contractual exclusivity in the area covered by the order, and the GRANTOR may,
if it sees fit, begin to provide the service directly itself or through a new
concession for the area, or the partial subcontracting of the already existing
concession, under conditions for provision of service that are equal to those
offered to the GRANTEE, guaranteeing to the latter adequate remuneration for the
use of its system of distribution or collection by the new grantee, or

declare any property that is needed for the installation or expansion of water
and sewer systems to be of public utility.

aforementioned end of the term of the Agreement. For purposes of determining the
average set forth in this paragraph, the profit of each financial period
