Third. Corporate Structure and Steps to Achieve it. (a) Final Corporate Structure and Steps to be Taken. Whether or not the Options are exercised and notwithstanding the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, the main purpose of the Parties in structuring the Joint Venture through their investment in LQIF is to always own, directly or indirectly (through SM Chile), shares representing, from the First Closing Date until the Third Closing Date, at least 56.45% of the voting rights in Banco de Chile and, from and after the Third Closing Date, 58.33% of the voting rights in Banco de Chile; accordingly, the Parties agree to act for purposes of the Joint Venture in a manner in accordance with the purpose so sought, such that Citigroup may expect to have at least one (1) regular director at Banco de Chile. To achieve the final corporate structure, the Parties shall give effect to the Citigroup Internal Reorganization and the Joint Corporate Reorganization, in each case on the terms set forth below and, in addition, the

Parties shall acquire shares issued by SM Chile and/or Banco de Chile to enable LQIF to obtain, by no later than the Third Closing Date, 58.33% of the voting rights in Banco de Chile.

(b) Citigroup Internal Reorganization. Between the date of this Agreement and the First Closing Date, Citigroup and its Affiliated Companies shall take all the steps they deem necessary or appropriate such that all of the Included Business and Services of Citigroup remain in the Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries, so that such Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries are legal entities capable of being merged into LQIF, Banco de Chile or Banco de Chile Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, substantially on the terms set forth in Exhibit “K” (the “Citigroup Internal Reorganization”), which terms are an integral part of this Agreement. Citigroup shall be responsible for diligently requesting and seeking to obtain all the Required Approvals to achieve the Citigroup Internal Reorganization. If Citigroup so requires, Quiñenco shall assist Citigroup in obtaining all the authorizations required in Chile to achieve the Citigroup Internal Reorganization. Quiñenco’s assistance shall not create any additional liability for Quiñenco in connection with the outcome of such transaction.

(c) Joint Corporate Reorganization. Concurrently, if possible, with the Citigroup Internal Reorganization, or, if not possible, to the extent allowed by the Citigroup Internal Reorganization, Citigroup and Quiñenco shall request the Required Approvals to give effect to the steps resulting in the structure set forth in Exhibit “J” to this Master Agreement (the “Joint Corporate Reorganization”) and shall seek to obtain such Required Approvals in a diligent manner. All the Required Approvals for the Joint Corporate Reorganization shall be requested in a coordinated manner between Citigroup and Quiñenco or their respective Affiliated Companies. A fundamental step of the Joint Corporate Reorganization is that, in the first stage, whether by means of a merger, capital contributions to LQIF or any other manner mutually acceptable by the Parties, Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries become Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of LQIF and Citigroup acquire a 32.9556% equity interest in LQIF after giving effect to such steps and, in the second stage, the merger of such Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries (as Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of LQIF) into Banco de Chile and its corresponding Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries depending on its nature. The merger with Banco de Chile shall be submitted to the Board of Directors and shareholders of Banco de Chile for their consideration, with the favorable vote of LQIF, its corresponding Affiliated Companies and the directors appointed by them, on at least the following terms: (i) Number of Shares of Banco de Chile before the capital increase as of the date of execution of this Agreement: 69,920,023,865; (ii) Maximum Number of Shares to be issued by Banco de Chile due to the capital increase: 2,516,010,979; (iii) Maximum Number of Shares of Banco de Chile with no dividend rights with respect to year ended December 31, 2007 to be issued due to the Joint Corporate Reorganization: 8,443,861,140 shares, which represent a percentage of the merged capital based on the Agreed Values, which shall be adjusted to reflect the number of shares that are actually subscribed and paid pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above, in the understanding that the shares that are definitively not subscribed and paid shall be cancelled; (v) Shares in LQIF: As a result of the mergers, capital contributions and other acceptable transactions carried out at the LQIF level to achieve the Joint Corporate Reorganization, Citigroup shall receive 220,558,398 shares of LQIF, which shares correspond to a 32.9566% equity interest in LQIF, without dividend rights with respect to the year ended December 31, 2007, which percentage shall not be subject to any adjustment or variation whatsoever. Such percentage shall be received by Citigroup in consideration for [a] the merger or capital contribution of the Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries, valued at UF 19,709,970.26, plus [b] UF 5,409,582.24 that Citigroup may provide, at its discretion, by means of one of the following alternatives: (x) 50% of the shares of [redacted], (y) the transfer described in paragraph (f)(ii) of Clause Third, provided that, in such case, LQIF shall receive an additional UF 2,758,886.94, or (z) the payment of UF 5,409,582.24; (vi) Adjustments between Quiñenco and Citigroup: In the event that, as of November 30, 2007, the net debt of LQIF (as defined below) is different from UF 3,952,051.57, Quiñenco or Citigroup, as the case may be, shall pay to the other Party the amount corresponding to such difference multiplied by the percentage of ownership in LQIF’s equity interest of the relevant Party, such that Quiñenco shall pay such amount to Citigroup if the net debt is greater than the Agreed Value and, if not, Citigroup shall pay such amount to Quiñenco. For purposes of

this subparagraph, net debt shall mean the sum of (x) the total liabilities (y) less the total current assets of LQIF, both pursuant to consolidated FECU format (excluding Banco de Chile)and (z) less the value of the shares of Banco de Chile subscribed by LQIF due to the exercise of preferential subscription rights with respect to such shares granted by the Central Bank of Chile or third parties; and (vii) Financial Assets. on the First Closing Date, LQIF shall own the financial assets listed in Exhibit “I”.

(d) Values for the Joint Corporate Reorganization. As a result of the Citigroup Internal Reorganization, the Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries shall have, collectively, a capital of not less than UF 15,152,201.99, which includes excess capital of UF 5,622,338.40 over the minimum capital level required by Chilean regulations, given a capitalization index of 10.5% (assets weighted by risk) plus financial risk). The terms of the exchange shall consider, with respect to the Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries, the existence of annual recurrent profits of at least UF 1,287,489.26 (in the understanding, however, that the adjustments that may arise from the Review Process contemplated in Clause Fifth of this Agreement shall be limited to those resulting from the differences between the Pro-Forma Financial Statements of the Citigroup Chilean Subsidiaries and the results of the Review Process). The Agreed Values shall be used for purposes of the Joint Corporate Reorganization, subject to the terms set forth in subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (c) above.

(e) Insurance Business. As an exception to the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of Clause Tenth of this Agreement, Quiñenco shall be able to continue to own or Control Banchile Seguros de Vida.

(ii) Second Closing Date and Purchase and Sale Option. On the Second Closing Date, Citigroup or the Citigroup Wholly-Owned Subsidiary that it designates, which shall be identified in the Second Closing Date Notice, shall have the right to purchase from Quiñenco, which shall have the obligation to sell, the Option Shares that correspond to the Purchase and Sale Option, and, if such Purchase and Sale Option is not exercised by Citigroup, Quiñenco shall have the right, exercisable within fifteen (15) calendar days following the expiration of the term in which to give the Second Closing Date Notice, to require Citigroup to acquire such Shares, in which case Citigroup shall have the obligation to acquire such Shares, directly or indirectly through a Citigroup Wholly-Owned Subsidiary.

In the event of a difference between the Chilean laws and regulations applicable to the Chilean Joint Venture Entities and the legal requirements applicable to the Chilean Joint Venture Entities pursuant to the federal banking laws of the United States, the Board of Directors shall proceed as follows for purposes of defining and implementing the Approved Policies and Procedures: (y) if possible, comply with both sets of provisions; and (z) if simultaneous compliance with both sets of provisions is not possible, and always taking into consideration the goodwill, franchise and profitability of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, seek to obtain a waiver (either permanent or by way of a longer period for implementation) from the relevant authorities with respect to a particular regulation or law (provided that the Chilean Joint Venture Entities shall adhere to the maximum level of compliance possible with respect to both sets of regulations) or, as a last recourse, to modify or, if not possible, to terminate the business or activity that gives rise to the difference.

The Parties shall cause the Chilean Joint Venture Entities to give the audit and risk review unit of Citigroup, as well as the Relevant Authorities of the United States, in accordance with their agreed-upon procedures with the Chilean Relevant Authorities, access to the systems, information and procedures of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, with a view to verify from time to time the level of progress in the implementation of, and compliance with, the Approved Policies and Procedures. If as a result of such audit or examination by the audit and risk review unit of Citigroup or of the Relevant Authorities of the United States, it is determined the existence of any deficiency, the Board of Directors of the relevant Chilean Joint Venture Entity or Entities shall be informed through its Audit Committee so that such Board of Directors can take the necessary measures as soon as practicable to correct such deficiency.

Eight. Management of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities.

(a) General Principle. The general principle that will govern the management and operation of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities is that they shall be managed and operated by their corresponding Board of Directors, (i) to which the corresponding Definitive Documents shall be presented for approval; and (ii) which shall abide by the highest standards of corporate governance and disclosure applicable in Chile. In addition to the foregoing, Quiñenco and Citigroup shall seek to maintain a direct dialogue, continuous contact and establish a fair procedure (that is, that shall grant equal opportunities, access to information and the possibility for self expression) to take decisions in respect of the management and operation of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities; provided, however, that: (i) the independence of the Boards of Directors shall be respected at all times; and (ii) in the event of a disagreement between Quiñenco and Citigroup, the determination of Quiñenco or the respective Board of Directors shall prevail, except for purposes of the Fundamental Strategic Decisions, in which case, at the shareholder or Board of Directors level, the approval of Citigroup or of the directors appointed by Citigroup shall be required, without prejudice to the authority of any of the Parties to exhaust the available legal means if it considers such decision to be contrary to the terms set forth in the Definitive Documents.

(b) Decision Levels. There shall be different decision levels at LQIF and at the other Chilean Joint Venture Entities, which are as follows:

(i)

Board of Directors of LQIF: It shall be composed of seven (7) members, five (5) of them designated by Quiñenco and two (2) by Citigroup. If Citigroup becomes the owner of 50% of the shares of LQIF, it shall be entitled to designate three (3) out of the seven (7) LQIF directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be designated by Quiñenco and, if Citigroup becomes the owner of 50% of the shares of LQIF, the Vice Chairman shall be designated by Citigroup.

Accordingly, Quiñenco shall cause, through LQIF, the voting rights at the shareholders meetings of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities to be exercised in accordance with the instructions issued by its Board of Directors, which instructions shall, in any event, strictly comply with the terms of this Agreement and of the Definitive Documents.

(ii)

Board of Directors of SM Chile: It shall be composed of nine (9) members. The majority of the directors shall be designated by Quiñenco through LQIF and Citigroup shall be entitled to require LQIF to designate two (2) directors of SM-Chile and, if Citigroup becomes the owner of 50% of the shares of LQIF, four (4) directors of SM-Chile, except, in each case, the directors designated by the minority shareholders, if any. In all cases, it is understood that, if the minority shareholders designate one or more directors, the number of directors that can be proposed by Citigroup shall be reduced accordingly. Quiñenco shall cause the discretionary votes to be used to achieve the election of the maximum number of directors proposed by Citigroup, within the parameters of the preceding sentence. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be designated by Quiñenco and, if Citigroup becomes the owner of 50% of the shares of LQIF, the Vice Chairman shall be designated by Citigroup.

(iii)

Board of Directors of Banco de Chile: It shall be composed of eleven (11) members. The majority of the directors shall be designated by Quiñenco through LQIF and SM Chile and Citigroup shall be entitled to designate two (2) directors of Banco de Chile and, if Citigroup becomes the owner of 50% of the shares of LQIF, five (5) directors of Banco de Chile, except, in each case, the directors designated by the minority shareholders, if any. In all cases, it is understood that, if the minority shareholders appoint one or more directors, the number of directors that can be proposed by Citigroup shall be reduced accordingly, provided that Citigroup shall always be entitled to one (1) director. To maximize the number of Directors proposed by Citigroup that may be elected as Directors within the parameters of the preceding sentence, Quiñenco shall cause LQIF to

take action to obtain proxies from third parties to be used, together with the discretionary votes it receives, to achieve the election of the maximum number of directors proposed by Citigroup. Quiñenco shall urge that the Chairman of the Board of Directors be designated from among the directors that it proposed and, if Citigroup becomes the owner of 50% of the shares of LQIF, that the Vice Chairman be designated by Citigroup.

(iv)

[Redacted]

(v)

Board Committees: Quiñenco shall recommend that Citigroup and Quiñenco participate in the different Board Committees of Banco de Chile.

(vi)

Other: The Parties shall establish an odd number of directors in the other Chilean Joint Venture Entities and shall designate their corresponding number of directors in accordance with this Clause Eighth. Decisions shall be taken by a majority of the votes of voting members who are present, except for the Fundamental Strategic Decisions, which shall be subject to paragraph (e) of this Clause Eighth. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be designated from among the directors designated by Quiñenco and the Vice Chairman from among the directors designated by Citigroup.

(vii)

Alternate Directors. From and after the Third Closing Date, Quiñenco shall recommend that Citigroup and Quiñenco be able to appoint, to the extent permitted by Chilean law, alternate directors for the different Chilean Joint Venture Entities. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Board of Directors of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities shall be composed by regular and alternate directors, and each Party shall be allowed to designate alternates for the regular directors it designates. If the Chairman of the Board is absent, he shall be substituted by a regular director designated by Quiñenco. In the specific case of Banco de Chile, there shall only be two alternates and Quiñenco shall designate both such alternates until Citigroup holds a 50% interest in LQIF, after which Quiñenco shall propose the first alternate and Citigroup the second alternate. The actions of the alternates shall be consistent with the general principle that the majority of the directors of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, other than LQIF, shall be designated as proposed by Quiñenco. If by reason of a prolonged impediment or for any reason other than a dilution, such general principle may not be complied with, Quiñenco shall adopt, or cause to be adopted, promptly the necessary steps to reinstate the proportion mentioned above, including the resignation of regular or alternate directors, the re-composition of the Board of Directors and the calling an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting in order to designate a new Board of Directors consistent with the above mentioned general principle.

(viii)

Management Committees. Banco de Chile has at the present an established system of active and substantial involvement of its officers in the committees that report to the CEO (Gerente General). It is the intention of the Parties to maintain such system in place. Therefore, the officers designated by each of the Parties or by the Board of Directors, including the Citigroup Designated Officers, shall have an active and substantial involvement in the internal committees reporting to the CEO (Gerente General) on which they participate as a result of the function they perform.

(c) Appointment and Aggregate Compensation of Corporate Officers.

(i) General Principle. The corresponding Board of Directors shall have the authority to appoint and determine the aggregate compensation of the principal corporate officers of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities. The Parties shall endeavor to propose for appointment the best qualified professionals in their organizations and in the market as officers of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities. In consideration of the substantial interest to be held by Citigroup in the Chilean Joint Venture Entities and its experience in such matters, the Parties shall discuss and establish a procedure for the proposal and designation of the

principal corporate officers and for determination of their aggregate compensation. In case of a disagreement, the designation and aggregate compensation shall always be determined by the corresponding Board of Directors of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities.

(ii) Proposal for Positions in Banco de Chile. Citigroup shall be entitled to propose the appointment of the Citigroup Designated Officers. The Chilean Joint Venture Entities shall have the right to request the removal of one or more of the Citigroup Designated Officers. For such purposes, the Parties agree to the following: (i) if, in the opinion of the CEO (Gerente General) of Banco de Chile or its Board of Directors, one or more of Citigroup Designated Officers does not adequately perform his duties, whether in connection with his results or in connection with his integration with the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, the CEO (Gerente General) or the Board of Directors shall so notify the Parties; (ii) the Parties shall in good faith seek to find a solution; (iii) if the Parties do not reach an agreement regarding the measures to be adopted, the CEO (Gerente General) or the Board of Directors, within their corresponding areas of responsibility, may remove such Officer; and (iv) in any event, Citigroup shall retain the right to designate a replacement for such Officer. With respect to the CEO (Gerente General) and the first level officers, the Parties shall urge the corresponding Board of Directors to set annual objectives and goals that are appropriate to their respective functions and in line with the strategies and budgets of each of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities. If any of such officers: (A) fails to meet the goals set during any of three (3) out of five (5) consecutive years; or (B) there is a repeated, unjustified and material failure to apply the Approved Policies and Procedures (it being agreed that only a legal requirement or event of force majeure shall be considered a valid justification for failure to comply with the Approved Policies and Procedures), the Party that did not propose such officer shall be entitled to request his removal and the other Party shall cooperate with such course of action, in which case the Parties shall urge to have the Person who will replace such officer to be designated by the appropriate Party, as determined in accordance with this paragraph.

(iii) Positions in Several Companies. To the extent permitted by Chilean law, and as long as there is no incompatibility or conflict of interest, the officers to which subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above apply may hold a position in more than one of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities for the purpose of achieving uniformity of standards and cost efficiencies.

(d) Planning Process. The corresponding Board of Directors shall discuss and approve the annual business plans and budgets of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities. However, considering the substantial interest to be held by Citigroup in the Chilean Joint Venture Entities and the experience it can contribute, the Parties shall follow the following procedure with respect to the annual business plan and budget: (i) The fiscal and corporate year of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities shall coincide with the calendar year. (ii) An integrated planning process and a budget and annual plan review process shall be established, prepared by the management of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities and approved by their corresponding Board of Directors, starting with the Board of Directors of LQIF, which will recommend the strategic guidelines and directions for the other Chilean Joint Venture Entities. (iii) The budget and annual business plans shall include all necessary detail including, but not limited to, the individual budgets for each line of business, plans for the opening and closing of branches or other points of sale, expense details, assumptions and strategy, and shall be submitted for its approval at the latest in November of every year with respect to the following year. (iv) At the middle of the fiscal year, the approved budget and approved plans shall be reviewed and ratified or rectified by the Board of Directors of the corresponding Chilean Joint Venture Entity. In the event of an adverse deviation exceeding 20% of the expected earnings, income or expenses, any of the Parties may request that corrective plans and programs aimed to remedy the adverse deviation be submitted to the Board of Directors of the corresponding Chilean Joint Venture Entity for approval.

(e) Fundamental Strategic Decisions. Decisions regarding the matters listed below constitute Fundamental Strategic Decisions, regardless of whether they are submitted to a shareholders meeting, the Boards of Directors or its Committees, or decided by representatives, attorneys-in-fact, or otherwise. The

Fundamental Strategic Decisions require the consent of Citigroup or Citigroup Wholly-Owned Subsidiary through which Citigroup participates in the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, on the one hand, and Quiñenco or Quiñenco Wholly-Owned Subsidiary through which Quiñenco participates in the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, on the other, whether in the first or subsequent calling of a meeting and always expressed by the directors designated by each of them or at the shareholders meeting, as the case may be. The matters with respect to which decisions shall be considered Fundamental Strategic Decisions are as follows:

(i)

Changes in the dividend policy to below 30% or to above 80% of the distributable earnings for each year. In the case of Banco de Chile, the top limitation shall be effective only if the capital (patrimonio efectivo) of Banco de Chile is less than 10.5% of its assets weighted by risk plus financial risk in accordance with Chilean regulations, and shall not be applicable if a greater dividend payment is required in order for SM Chile and SAOS to comply with their obligations with respect to the Chilean Central Bank, pursuant to the agreement entered into under Law No. 19.396 and its amendments by virtue of the subordinated obligation.

(ii)

In the case of LQIF, changes in the distribution policies, either through reimbursements to the shareholders, a reduction of capital, dividends or otherwise, that result in the distribution of less than the total free cash flow of LQIF after taking into account the expenditures and essential reserves of LQIF.

(iii)

Delisting or deregistration of the shares of Banco de Chile or SM Chile from the New York Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chilean Stock Exchanges or the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, as the case may be;

(iv)

Capital increases and issuance of any kind of securities, including treasury shares or subordinated debt (in this case, only if it impacts the U.S. tax treatment of Citigroup in the Chilean Joint Venture Entities in the United States), unless by reason of a request from a governmental authority or in the event the capital (patrimonio efectivo) of Banco de Chile is less than 10.5% of its assets weighted by risk plus financial risk in accordance with Chilean regulations applicable to Banco de Chile. If Citigroup fails to obtain a 50% interest in LQIF by the Third Closing Date, thereafter the consent of Citigroup shall be required, unless the business plan requires the issuance of capital securities.

(v)

Entry into new lines of business, whether or not material, or material acquisitions, co- investments and joint ventures. In each case, if Citigroup fails to obtain a 50% interest in LQIF’s capital by the Third Closing Date, thereafter the consent of Citigroup shall only be required if such new lines of businesses or material acquisitions, co-investment or joint ventures are prohibited by the US laws applicable to Citigroup; the exit of material lines of business (that is, corporate banking, investment banking, retail banking and branches, banking cards, mortgages, consumer financing and any other representing more than 15% of net earnings) or the sale of assets, spin-offs/split-off or material dispositions.

(vi)

Credit decisions with respect to a person or group of persons that constitute common risk under Chilean law, on the terms set forth by Articles 84 and 85 of the Chilean Banking Law (Ley General de Bancos de Chile), involving, if unsecured, more than 20% of the capital (patrimonio efectivo) of Banco de Chile, and, if secured or if such credit is to be granted to other banks, more than 30% of the capital (patrimonio efectivo) of Banco de Chile.

(vii)

Dissolution and liquidation of any of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities.

(viii)

Proposal of appointment of Auditors and material changes in material accounting practices and principles, except as required by legal demands or requirements from the Chilean Relevant Authorities.

(ix)

Approval of the policies and procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of Clause Seventh of this Agreement and modifications to the Approved Policies and Procedures.

(x)

Investments in excess of US$20 million by the Chilean Joint Venture Entities outside of the Financial Businesses and Services.

(xi)

Subject to paragraph (f) below, any decision: [a] to object, settle or agree any material matter with any regulatory agency; [b] to submit any material matter to any regulatory agency; [c] with respect to the response and follow-up regarding any accusation of illegal or improper behavior; [d] to obtain or renounce any material governmental authorization outside of Chile; and [e] to adopt any tax policy or modify any adopted tax policy, so long as such policy involves a material risk to any of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities.

(xii)

Delegation of authority to any person or corporate body which contravenes the limitations agreed by the Parties.

(xiii)

Transactions with related parties as provided for in Section 44 of Chilean Law No. 18.046, and donations or gifts that, in the case of Banco de Chile, deviate from its current policies.

(xiv)

Any amendment to the Bylaws with respect to the matters contained in this Agreement or in the Shareholders Agreement that are included in the Bylaws.

(f) Procedure with Respect to Certain Fundamental Strategic Decisions. The Parties acknowledge and accept that a fundamental aspect of the Joint Venture is the value of the reputation of each of the Parties and the treatment and goodwill that different governmental authorities and third parties give or have, or may give or have, towards the Parties and the Chilean Joint Venture Entities; therefore, in their conduct, the Parties shall always use their best efforts to maintain their good reputation and such goodwill. To that end, the Parties shall endeavor that any material issue having to do with governmental authorities or which may reasonably affect the good reputation and goodwill of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities or any of the Parties, shall be discussed between the Parties, with due consideration to the Board(s) of Directors of the corresponding Chilean Joint Venture Entities, before any position is adopted. Nevertheless, in the event of an emergency situation, and as long as the principles set forth in the foregoing sentences are not undermined, the Parties acknowledge that the Chilean Joint Venture Entities may act without consulting the Parties, provided that this course of action shall constitute an exception and not the general rule, that the exception is duly justified and supported by the opinion of an independent expert in the matter in respect of which the action is required and that the Parties and the Board of Directors of the Chilean Joint Ventures Entities are promptly informed.

Ninth. Provisions Regarding the Shares. (a) Right of First Offer. When a Party decides to sell its interest in LQIF and/or in the Ownership and Voting Trust, each other Party shall, except for the shares subject to the Public Placement, be entitled to purchase such interest from the selling Party, provided that such selling Party shall have previously offered its interest to the non-selling Party pursuant to the terms and conditions to be set forth in the Shareholders Agreement. Likewise, the Shareholders Agreement shall include provisions allowing the transfer of shares between Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries without triggering any right of first offer. None of the Parties shall encumber in any fashion their shares or their interest in any of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities. The foregoing provision shall be included in the Shareholders Agreement, in the Bylaws of LQIF and in the share certificates regarding the shares of LQIF.

(b) Undivided Vote and Custody of Shares. (i) All of the shares of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, other than any interest in LQIF, owned by each Party, whether directly or indirectly or through

an agent, including those shares held by the Ownership and Voting Trust referred to below, shall be voted in the same manner for purposes of giving effect to the agreements set forth in this Master Agreement and its Exhibits. The shares owned by companies or persons other than the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, except for any interest in LQIF, shall be deposited with the Trustee in the Ownership and Voting Trust for the entire term during which the shareholder is, directly or indirectly, a shareholder of LQIF. The Trustee shall exercise the voting rights of the shares held by the Trust through a joint power of attorney granted for such purpose. Each Party shall cause the Trustee to vote its shares in each case in the manner instructed by the Board of Directors of LQIF. Notwithstanding that the Trust may be organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Chile, for example, in the United States, United Kingdom or Switzerland, or under any other jurisdiction agreed to by the Parties, the Parties agree that, LQIF, in its capacity as controller of Banco de Chile, shall have an interest in the exercise of power of attorney to be granted to vote the shares deposited with the Trust, and as a result such power of attorney shall be irrevocable in accordance with the terms of Article 241 of the Chilean Code of Commerce. (ii) Considering that the Parties are entities that carry out Financial Businesses and Services, whether directly or indirectly through Subsidiaries, it is possible that unrelated Persons have shares in custody or deposited in a vehicle controlled by any of the Parties. Such shares shall only be voted in accordance with precise written instructions given by such unrelated Persons, which instructions shall be confirmed if requested by any of the Parties or by the issuer of the corresponding shares. Likewise, the Parties shall not exercise discretionary voting rights regarding such shares other than in accordance with this paragraph (b).

(c) Change of Control. If one of the Parties is subject to a Change of Control, each Party shall be entitled to purchase, at Fair Market Value, the other Party’s interest in LQIF and/or in the Chilean Joint Venture Entities and/or in the Ownership and Voting Trust. Such Fair Market Value shall be the value determined by a formal written opinion given by two international investment banks designated by the Parties. For this purpose, the investment banks shall consider the control premium when determining the Fair Market Value of Quiñenco’s interest in LQIF. If such investment banks are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value within the forty-five (45) days following the date on which the last international investment bank has been designated, they shall, within the ten (10) days following the expiration of the forty-five (45) days term mentioned before, designate a third international investment bank, which shall be independent from the Parties, that is, it shall not be a firm employed primarily by any of the Parties. The first two investment banks shall share with the third investment bank the results of their individual valuations and assessments. Within the thirty (30) days following the designation of the third investment bank, such investment bank shall choose one of the valuations done by the two original investment banks as the best determination of the Fair Market Value and this determination shall be the final and definitive Fair Market Value. For purposes of Quiñenco, it shall be understood that Control thereof is exercised by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family, such that a Change of Control that triggers the rights set forth in this paragraph shall be deemed to have occurred if there is a loss of ownership over Quiñenco by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family in terms that they can no longer exercise Control over Quiñenco as indicated in Clause First. The Parties agree that Quiñenco shall have the same rights set forth in this paragraph with respect to the occurrence of a Change of Control if Citigroup, directly or indirectly, is no longer in the banking business.

(d) Generational Change. Upon the occurrence of a generational change of the Person or Persons heading the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family and, therefore, Quiñenco, the Parties shall discuss in good faith the effects that such change could have in the Joint Venture, without such discussions binding the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family, nor conferring any right to Citigroup other than the right to express in a reasonable and objective way its opinion, including the possibility to propose that a given member of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family or a third party become the head of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family, it being agreed that the Parties acknowledge and accept that it is the sole decision of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Family to designate who will be its head.

(e) Tag-Along Right. If any of the Parties wishes to sell its interest in LQIF and/or in the Ownership and Voting Trust other than the shares subject to the Public Placement, and the right of first offer set forth in paragraph (a) above is not exercised, the other Party may demand that the selling Party

include the non-selling Party’s interest in its sale (tag-along right). The Party wishing to sell its interest, however, shall not be entitled to force the other Party to sell its interest together with the interest of the Party who whishes to sell (there will be no drag-along right).

(f) Total Sale. The partial sale of shares of LQIF to one Party shall not be allowed, unless the sale involves all the shares of LQIF. The sale to a third party of any interest in accordance with this instrument shall be subject to such third party’s written agreement to abide by the terms of the Shareholders Agreement and, if applicable, of this Master Agreement, and to assume in writing all of the rights and obligations of the selling Party. In the event that the third party gives its written agreement and after the sale of the corresponding interest has been consummated, the selling Party shall be released from all its obligations under this Master Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement, and will cease to be a party hereof and thereof. The shares acquired through the Tender Offers shall be subject to paragraphs (j) and (k) of Clause Third.

(g) Capital Increases. In the event of any increase in the capital stock of any of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, each Party shall be entitled to exercise a right of first offer to subscribe and pay the newly issued shares offered in the Chilean Joint Venture Entity of which such Party is a shareholder, as the case may be, for the purpose of maintaining its participation. Such shares shall be subject to all of the provisions set forth in this Clause Ninth. Likewise, the Shareholders Agreement sets forth, with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, the circumstances and consequences of: (i) the failure by one of the Parties to subscribe and pay for a capital increase approved by the Parties, or (ii) the failure to subscribe and pay for a capital increase by one or more of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities that is mandated by an authority.

(h) Other Purchase of Shares. None of the Parties nor their Affiliates may purchase shares of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement and, specifically, paragraph (b) of this Clause Ninth. The preceding restriction shall not apply to the transactions executed by the Parties or their Affiliates in the ordinary course of their financial business, such as hedging transactions for derivatives or as a result of the foreclosure of loans, provided that the general rule set forth in the first sentence of this subparagraph is not undermined, and that the corresponding Party promptly disinvests itself of its ownership in such shares and, in any event, within six (6) months. During the period when the shares are temporarily owned, regardless of the reason, such shares shall be voted pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Clause Ninth.

Tenth. Ancillary Agreements.

(a) Non-Compete Covenants. (i) As between the Parties, there shall be no limitation regarding the expansion of the businesses of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities outside of Chile. (ii) So long as the Joint Venture between the Parties continues to exist, the Parties, their Affiliates and their Affiliated Companies shall develop and provide all the Included Business and Services through the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, without prejudice to the provisions of the Global Connectivity Agreement with respect to development of certain Cross-Border Business and Services by Citigroup and its Affiliated Companies. (iii) Any new business opportunity not related to the activities carried out in a significant and continued basis by the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, whether exclusively or principally related to Chile, shall be conducted through the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, to the extent so resolved by their respective Board of Directors. To that end, the Party that becomes aware of a new business opportunity shall so notify the other Party and the Chilean Joint Venture Entities and only if the other Party or the Chilean Joint Venture Entities decline such business opportunity after they have been afforded a reasonable time to analyze it, may the Party, who originated or learned of such business opportunity in the first place, develop it independently, so long as it carries out such activities in such a manner as not to conflict with the Chilean Joint Venture Entities or jointly with them. (iv) The non-compete covenant shall not apply to incidental acquisitions made by any of the Parties, that is, acquisitions resulting from another acquisition where the value of the Financial Businesses and Services operations that correspond to Chile is less than

25% of the assets of the total operations being acquired. If such limit is exceeded, the corresponding Party shall obtain prior authorization from the other Party. In any event, the acquiring Party shall offer the incidental interest at its Fair Market Value to the Chilean Joint Venture Entities, and if such Chilean Joint Venture Entities decline to purchase it or if for any other reason such purchase is not feasible, the acquiring Party shall have one (1) year to sell such assets or to obtain a legally binding commitment for their sale; such term may be extended for an additional one (1) year for cause. Such obligations shall expire with the termination of this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement or the Definitive Documents. (v) Citigroup shall take the necessary measures with respect to the alliances for global products that it now has in place and the ones that it enters into in the future with third parties that are not its Affiliates in order to ensure that the provisions of this paragraph (a) are not undermined.

(b) Preferential Supplier. Citigroup shall be the preferential supplier or counterpart of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities with respect to the operations of such entities (that is, when such Chilean Joint Venture Entities act as clients) that are conducted in the market, to the extent that Citigroup offers the same or better terms as compared to a competitor, taking into account the total business relationship between Citigroup and the Chilean Joint Venture Entities.

Eleventh. Termination and Deadlock. (a) Prior to the First Closing Date. This Master Agreement shall be terminated if the conditions precedent to the First Closing Date have not been satisfied before January 1, 2008, without prejudice to the terms of paragraph (e) of Clause Third of this Agreement. In addition, it shall be terminated prior to the First Closing Date (or its extension) in the event of a material breach of the provisions set forth herein which is not timely cured, to the extent that it can be cured; in the event of any material inaccuracy or misrepresentation made by any of the Parties; in the event of failure to obtain the Required Approvals in satisfactory terms; or in the event that Citigroup so elects in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of Clause Fifth.

(b) Termination Rights. The right to terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein before the First Closing Date pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be granted to the non-breaching Party, or the Party that has not caused the breach, without prejudice to the right of the Parties to jointly agree to terminate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement if they so deem it convenient.

(c) Non-Exclusive Right. The foregoing is without prejudice to the right of the non-breaching Party to demand to be indemnified for the damages and losses it may suffer arising from the breach that results in the termination of this Master Agreement.

(d) After the First Closing Date. The Joint Venture between Citigroup and Quiñenco may be terminated after the First Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders Agreement. Likewise, the Shareholders Agreement shall provide that, in the event of a material breach that is not cured, the non-breaching Party shall have the right and the option to purchase the shares owned by the breaching Party, and such breaching Party shall be obligated to sell its shares to the non-breaching Party, in the understanding that in such case, the breaching Party shall be deemed to have made an irrevocable offer for the sale of its shares. For purposes of this clause, the purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value, less 10%. It will be a material breach the violation of the terms of the Definitive Documents pertaining to: (i) the election of the Directors of the Chilean Joint Venture Entities; (ii) the obligation to obtain the necessary consensus to implement any of the Fundamental Strategic Decisions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties memorialize their agreement that the failure to obtain the necessary approval at the corresponding decision level shall not be deemed a violation of the foregoing obligation; (iii) the appointment of Citigroup Designated Officers; (iv) the approval and payment of capital increases in accordance with the terms set forth in paragraphs (l) of Clause Fourth and (i) of Clause Fifth of the Shareholders Agreement; (v) the transfer of shares and other obligations contained in paragraph (h) of Clause Ninth; and (vi) non-compete covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy of one of the Parties.

(e) Deadlock. The Shareholders Agreement shall provide that, if the Parties are unable to agree on any of the Fundamental Strategic Decisions, any of the Parties may declare, in writing to the other Party, the occurrence of a Deadlock. After a Deadlock is declared, the Parties shall, by common consent and within thirty (30) calendar days or such other shorter term agreed by the Parties, try to resolve the matter in good faith. If after such term has expired, the shares owned by the Chilean Joint Venture Entities or by their Board of Directors, as the case may be, shall vote against the matter giving rise to the Deadlock, such matter shall be considered finally rejected, in which case it shall not be implemented.

Twelfth. General Provisions. (a) Public Disclosure. The Parties shall publicly disclose the Joint Venture set forth herein on the date this Agreement is executed in accordance with the draft press release and relevant event attached hereto as Exhibit “M”.
