(c) Effective as of the Chilean Effective Time, CorpBanca hereby assumes all Compensation and Benefit Plans maintained by Itaú Chile, that require express assumption by any successor to Itaú Chile.

(c) CorpBanca, from and after the Chilean Effective Time, will directly or indirectly cause the Persons who served as directors or officers of CorpBanca or Itaú Chile, immediately prior to the Chilean Effective Time, to be covered by CorpBanca's or Itaú Chile's existing directors' and officers' liability insurance policy with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Chilean Effective Time, which were committed by such officers and directors in their capacity as such; provided that (i) CorpBanca may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than such policy, (ii) in no event shall CorpBanca be required to expend more than 250% per year of coverage of the amount currently expended by CorpBanca or Itaú Chile per year of coverage as of the date of this Agreement (the "Maximum Amount") to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto and (iii) if notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts to do so, CorpBanca is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 4.11(c), CorpBanca shall obtain as much comparable insurance as available for the Maximum Amount. Such insurance coverage shall commence at the Chilean Effective Time and will be provided for a period of no less than six years after the Chilean Effective Time.
44

4.20 Insurance Matters.
(a) Following the Chilean Effective Time, Itaú Parent shall cause Itaú Chile Compañia de Seguros de Vida S.A. ("Itaú Insurance Company") to (i) provide Itaú Insurance Company's life insurance-related products (the "Itaú Insurance Products") to CorpBanca Insurance Clients and (ii) pay to CorpBanca Insurance Brokers brokerage and/or services fees (the "Insurance Brokerage Fees") in an aggregate annual amount equal to 47.7% (the "Applicable Premium Percentage"), as it may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4.20(b), of the aggregate revenues generated from the sales of the Itaú Insurance Products by CorpBanca Insurance Brokers for the relevant year, in consideration and exchange for the offer of the Itaú Insurance Products by CorpBanca Insurance Brokers to the CorpBanca Insurance Clients. The Applicable Premium Percentage shall be applied to calculate the Insurance Brokerage Fees during the period commencing on the Chilean Effective Time and ending on the
49
last day of the calendar year (the "First Applicable Premium Percentage Year") subsequent to the year on which the Chilean Effective Time occurs.
(b) On June 30 of any fiscal year following the First Applicable Premium Percentage Year (the "Calculation Date"), CorpBanca shall implement the procedure described in this Section 4.20(b) to determine whether the average insurance-related brokerage and/or services fees (expressed as a percentage of premiums earned) paid by insurance companies to the five largest Chilean insurance brokers (measured in terms of total premiums) that are Subsidiaries of banks ("Insurance Fees Market Average") during the prior fiscal year have varied, upwards or downwards, by more than ten percent (10%) as compared to the Benchmark Fee Rate (a "Trigger Event"). The "Benchmark Fee Rate" shall be the Insurance Fees Market Average determined by the application of the procedure described in this Section 4.20(b) for the first Calculation Date and shall be revised to equal the Insurance Fees Market Average with respect to each future Calculation Date in which a Trigger Event occurs. If a Trigger Event occurs, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a revised Applicable Premium Percentage that shall become effective immediately and shall not be lower than the Benchmark Fee Rate for the previous fiscal year. If the Parties are unable to agree on a revised Applicable Premium Percentage within fifteen (15) days of the final determination of the Insurance Fees Market Average, the Applicable Premium Percentage shall be immediately revised to equal the Insurance Fees Market Average.
The procedure for determining the Insurance Fees Market Average (and whether a Trigger Event has occurred) shall be the following:
(i) CorpBanca shall hire one benchmarking expert from those listed in Schedule 4.20(a) ("Benchmarking Expert") to conduct market research of insurance-related brokerage and/or services fees paid by insurance companies to banks and insurance brokers that are Subsidiaries of banks and, based on such research, determine (with instructions to make such determination within thirty (30) days of such Benchmarking Expert's selection) the Insurance Fees Market Average and whether a Trigger Event has occurred, which determination will, if acceptable to CorpBanca, be final and binding until a new Applicable Premium Percentage with respect to the next Calculation Date is determined pursuant to this Section 4.20.
(ii) in the event such revised Applicable Premium Percentage is not acceptable to CorpBanca, then CorpBanca shall hire another Benchmarking Expert selected by CorpBanca from those listed in Schedule 4.20(a) to conduct market research for the same purposes described in item (i) above and, based on such research, determine (with instructions to make such determination within thirty (30) days of such Benchmarking Expert's selection) the Insurance Fees Market Average and whether a Trigger Event has occurred. If the difference between the Insurance Fees Market Average determined pursuant to such procedure is lower than ten percent (10%), the simple average between the Insurance Fees Market Averages as determined by both Benchmarking Experts, and the calculation of whether a Trigger Event has occurred based on such determination, shall be final and binding until a new Applicable Premium Percentage with respect to the next Calculation Date is determined pursuant to this
50
Section 4.20. If the difference between the Insurance Fees Market Averages determined pursuant to such procedure is higher than ten percent (10%), CorpBanca may hire an actuary firm from those listed in Schedule 4.20(b) to determine (with instructions to make such determination within thirty (30) days of such firm's selection) the Insurance Fees Market Average and whether a Trigger Event has occurred, which determination shall be final and binding until a new Applicable Premium Percentage with respect to the next Calculation Date is determined pursuant to this Section 4.20.
(c) If Itaú Parent desires not to continue to cause Itaú Insurance Company to offer the Itaú Insurance Products to CorpBanca Insurance Clients, Itaú Parent shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to, 90 days prior to the date on which Itaú Insurance Company ceases to provide the Itaú Insurance Products to CorpBanca Insurance Clients (the "Insurance Termination Date"), enter into an agreement with a third party and one or more CorpBanca Insurance Brokers (the "New Insurance Brokerage Contract") effective as of the Insurance Termination Date whereby such third party will provide the Itaú Insurance Products to the CorpBanca Insurance Clients and pay to such CorpBanca Insurance Brokers the related Insurance Brokerage Fees on substantially the same terms set forth in Section 4.20(a) and (b); and (ii) until a New Insurance Contract is effective, continue to pay CorpBanca or the CorpBanca Insurance Brokers an amount equal to the average of the Insurance Brokerage Fees paid by Itaú Insurance Company to CorpBanca or the CorpBanca Insurance Brokers under this Section 4.20 in the 12-month period prior to the Insurance Termination Date.
4.21 Certain Other Businesses.
(a) [RESERVED]
(b) During the six (6) month period following the date hereof, the Parties shall discuss and consult in good faith regarding whether CorpBanca will continue to hold its ownership interest in SMU Corp. and agree to implement the mutual determination made by the Parties; provided if by such six (6) month anniversary the Parties have not reached a mutual agreement, Itaú Parent shall have the right to determine in its sole discretion whether CorpBanca will continue to hold its ownership interest in SMU Corp. and, if Itaú Parent so determines, Corp Group Parent will, and will cause CorpBanca to use reasonable best efforts to divest, transfer, liquidate or otherwise dispose all of CorpBanca's and its Subsidiaries' investment in SMU Corp. as promptly as reasonably practicable and on commercially reasonable terms.
(c) Itaú Parent shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to enforce its rights under the MCC Contract to purchase the remaining outstanding capital stock of MCC by August 31, 2016 to the extent it has not otherwise acquired such capital stock by that date. Promptly following the later of (i) the Chilean Effective Time and (ii) the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of MCC, Itaú Parent shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to transfer 100% of the outstanding capital stock of MCC to CorpBanca for Fair Value (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and other customary terms and conditions (including representations, warranties and indemnities).

Any such fees shall be paid in the most economically efficient manner to both parties in the relevant transaction. No fees shall be due by Itaú Parent or its Affiliates in connection with services and products that are requested by CorpBanca's clients directly from Itaú Parent or any of its Affiliates other than CorpBanca and its Subsidiaries. Itaú Parent and CorpBanca and their respective Affiliates shall always comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the offer of such services and products to CorpBanca's clients, the performance of their obligations and the exercise of their rights under this Section 4.22.
4.23 Use of the Parties' Brands; Corporate Names.
