9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “roadshow” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “roadshow”), any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information. Nothing herein shall be construed that the Selling Shareholder may be held jointly and severally liable with the Company for its obligations pursuant to this Section 9(a).
24
(b) The Selling Shareholder will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any roadshow, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any roadshow, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Shareholder Information; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, that the Selling Shareholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and provided, further, that the aggregate liability of the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this subsection (b) and (e) shall not exceed the product of the number of ADSs sold by the Selling Shareholder and the price per ADS as set forth in the Prospectus (net of any underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) (the “Selling Shareholder Proceeds”). Nothing herein shall be construed that the Company may be held jointly and severally liable with the Selling Shareholder for its obligations pursuant to this Section 9(b).
(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Selling Shareholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or the Selling Shareholder may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any roadshow, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any roadshow, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company and the Selling Shareholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Selling Shareholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. As used in this Agreement with respect to an Underwriter and an applicable document, “Underwriter Information” shall mean the written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter expressly for use therein; it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting,” and the information contained in the eighth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting.”
25
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered ADSs, it being understood that the Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offering and the sale of the Offered ADSs by the Selling Shareholder. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, it being understood that the Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offering and the sale of the Offered ADSs by the Selling Shareholder. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholder on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any reasonable and documented 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 subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered ADSs underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) the contribution by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this subsection (e) shall not exceed its Selling Shareholder Proceeds (reduced by any amounts the Selling Shareholder is obligated to pay under subsection (b) above). 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 Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint and the Selling Shareholder’s obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to the Selling Shareholder Proceeds and not joint.
26
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholder under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Shareholder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each employee, officer and director of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and each broker-dealer or other affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of the Securities Act.
10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Offered ADSs that it has agreed to purchase hereunder at the Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Offered ADSs on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Offered ADSs, then the Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Offered ADSs on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Selling Shareholder that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Offered ADSs, or the Selling Shareholder notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Offered ADSs, you or the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” or “Underwriters” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Underlying Shares and Offered ADSs.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Selling Shareholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Offered ADSs which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Offered ADSs to be purchased at the Time of Delivery, then the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Offered ADSs which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at the Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Offered ADSs which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Offered ADSs of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
27
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you, the Selling Shareholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Offered ADSs which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Offered ADSs to be purchased at the Time of Delivery, or if the Selling Shareholder shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Offered ADSs of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholder, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
11. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or the Selling Shareholder, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of the Selling Shareholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Offered ADSs.
12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Shareholder shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason any Offered ADSs are not delivered by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder as provided herein, or the Underwriters decline to purchase the Offered ADSs for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Offered ADSs not so delivered solely to the extent provided in Section 7, but the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
13. In all dealings hereunder, the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly as the Underwriters; and in all dealings with the Selling Shareholder hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of the Selling Shareholder made or given by the Selling Shareholder.
28
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, at 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282, Attention: Registration Department, and to Barclays Capital Inc., at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate Registration; if to the Selling Shareholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to counsel for the Selling Shareholder at its address set forth in Schedule II hereto; if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth on the cover of the Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; and if to any shareholder that has delivered a lock-up letter described in Section 8(j) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail to his or her respective address provided in Schedule IV hereto or such other address as such shareholder provides in writing to the Company; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’ Questionnaire or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Shareholder by you on request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Selling Shareholder, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, the Selling Shareholder or any Underwriter, or any director, officer, employee, or affiliate of any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Offered ADSs from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the SEC’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.
16. The Company and the Selling Shareholder acknowledge and agree, severally and not jointly, that (i) the purchase and sale of the Offered ADSs pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Shareholder, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Shareholder on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Selling Shareholder except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate, and (v) none of the Securities Activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Shareholder, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
29
17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
18. This Agreement and any transaction contemplated by this Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto 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 other law than the laws of the State of New York. The Company and the Selling Shareholder agree that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement will be tried exclusively 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 court located in The City and County of New York and the Company and the Selling Shareholder agree to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
19. The Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Company hereby irrevocably appoints Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP at 1120 Avenue of the Americas, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10036, as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to the Company by the person serving the same to the address provided in Section 19 hereof, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding; the Company further agrees to take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for so long as this Agreement remains in force and for a period of seven years thereafter;
20. The Company and the Selling Shareholder agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify each Underwriter against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such Underwriter is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Underwriter. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency. The Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the ability of each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder to satisfy its payment obligations hereunder in Chilean currency, pursuant to any applicable regulations or general principles under Chilean law.
21. The Company and the Selling Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally and to the fullest extent permitted by law waive, and agree not to plead or claim, any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) for itself of any of its property, assets or revenues wherever located with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any document delivered pursuant hereto or hereunder, in each case for the benefit of each successor or assignee, it being intended that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing waiver and agreement will be effective, irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal in any and all jurisdictions, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 21 shall have the fullest scope permitted under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Securities Act of 1976 and are intended to be irrevocable for the purposes of such act.
30
22. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. dollars (the “Relevant Currency”), including by use of the term “US$,” is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholder in respect of any amount due by each of them respectively under this Agreement will, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the party entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the business day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in the relevant currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company or the Selling Shareholder will pay such additional amounts, in the relevant currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholder not discharged by such payment will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect;
23. The Company, the Selling Shareholder and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waive, 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.
24. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
25. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Selling Shareholder are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income 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 and the Selling Shareholder relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters 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 structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
26. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
31
(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(c) As used in this section:

(the “Company”), a publicly held stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) duly organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile, providing for an offering in the United States (the “Offering”) by one of the Company’s shareholders of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each representing 2,000 common shares of the Company (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Las Condes
Santiago, Chile
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have acted as special Chilean counsel for LATAM Airlines Group S.A., a publicly held stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s filing on July 18, 2024 of a registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) and the accompanying prospectus supplement referred to in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) dated September 8, 2025 and filed on September 9, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration for the issuance by the Company of 7,000,000 American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), representing ordinary shares of Company, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) to be issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2017, as amended by the first amendment, dated as of March 12, 2021, and the second amendment, dated as of July 24, 2024, by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as depositary, and the registered holders and beneficial owners from time to time of ADSs, as may further amended from time to time (the “Deposit Agreement”), in connection with the sale by the selling shareholder named in the Prospectus Supplement (the “Selling Shareholder”).
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, documents, agreements and certificates and other instruments, and examined such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion letter.
In connection with the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion:
