(ii) paying to New MP 10 million pesetas for the two year information service

expense is incurred as a result of the termination of the Infoadex contact HA
shall reimbursed New MP.
4. SFM Earn-Out
On January 2001 a 3 million US dollars payment has to be made by SFM due to the

is actually used by Havas Inc.
5. Transfer contribution
Transfer by the Parties of the contribution assets shall be made free of any
taxes and costs to New MP, except the increase in share capital tax of 1% in
Spain due to the increase in share capital.

Execution copy
Side Agreement concerning Mexico
THIS AGREEMENT is executed on this 5th, day of October 1999 by and among Havas
Advertising S.A. ("HA") and Media Planning Group S.A., (formerly known as
Inversiones y Servicios Publicitarios, S.A. ("New MP")),
together: the "Parties".
Capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this side
agreement, if defined herein, or the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger
Documents, if defined therein. "Merger Documents" refers to the Merger Agreement
(executed on November 29th, 1999 by and among HA, Advertising Antwerpen B.V.,
Cantabro Catalana de Inversiones, S.A., Compania de Cartera e Inversiones, S.A.,
Deva, S.A., and others regarding the merger of HA Media Business and Media
Planning Media Business) as amended and supplemented, and all Implementation
Agreements as amended supplemented.
1. The Parties acknowledge that migration of the Mexico Media Business has
already occurred and compensation therefore taken into consideration and
factored in the additional contribution mentioned in article 1 of the
supplemental and amendment agreement to the Merger Agreement executed at
the date hereof among the parties to the Merger Documents.
The Migration List Clients of Mexico as defined in clause 1.5.2.6 "Mexico
Adjustments" of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex 1; Annex 2 lists
the personnel transferred to the relevant Media Planning Subsidiary in
Mexico with their conditions.
2. HA represents and warrants to New MP that:
i) Annex 2 accurately reflects all economic and labour related
liabilities of the transferred personnel;
ii) except as stated in the annexes herein no liabilities will affect the
relevant Media Planning Subsidiary in the future arising from acts,
circumstances or events prior to Merger Date related to the Media
Business transferred.
3. HA guarantees to New MP:
(i) that all Media Business services contracted with the relevant HA
Group advertising agencies in Mexico shall be subcontracted with the
relevant Media Planning Subsidiary.
(ii) the subcontracting agreements reflect and will maintain the agency
fee commission listed for the clients in the migration list. If said
fee commissions are not maintained, HA will pay New MP the difference
between the actual fees and those listed in the migration list
attached as Annex I.
(iii) all payments effectively due by the HA Group advertising agencies in
Mexico to the relevant Media Planning Subsidiary arising from the
corresponding subcontracting agreement.
This guarantee shall remain in force until each and every HA Group client has
terminated its agreement with the relevant HA Group advertising agency for the
engagement of Media Business services whether as a result of (i) the HA Group
client having entered directly into an agreement with the relevant Media
Planning Subsidiary or any company to be designated by the aforementioned Media
