Spanish to English Scientific Article (w/ Trados) La concentración natural del ozono sobre la superficie terrestre aparece referida entre 0.010 y 0.050 ppm. (partes por millón en volumen) que reflejan distintas situaciones (3,4,5). Su concentración en áreas urbanas y en areas rurales de continentes industrializados es mayor que la encontrada en regiones apartadas de la actividad antropogénica (6). En los últimos años se ha observado un aumento en su concentración debido a la intensificación de esas actividades (industriales, agrícolas, generación de energía, quemado de bosques). La literatura refiere que en regiones europeas el nivel actual duplica al conocido hace un siglo (7). Y en algunos lugares de los estados unidos se han registrado episodios con concentraciones del orden de 0.200 ppm (8,9). Natural ozone concentration on the earth s surface is considered to range between 0.010 and 0.050 ppm. (parts per million in volume) which reflects several scenarios (3,4,5). Ozone concentration in urban areas of industrialized continents is greater than that found in regions removed from human activity (6). Recent years have shown an increased ozone concentration due to intensification of those activities (industry, agriculture, energy production, forest burning). Literature on the subject tells us that in areas of Europe, the current levels double those which were known a century ago (7). In some areas of the United States, concentrations of up to 0.200 have been recorded (8,9). Spanish to English Due Diligence Agreement and Guidelines (w/ Trados) I. OBJETIVO Y JUSTIFICACIÓN DE ESTAS REGLAS El cumplimiento de lo establecido en la estipulación 7ª del Acuerdo de 26.03.07 entre YY y XX, requiere, entre otras actuaciones, la realización de los trabajos de verificación o comprobación comúnmente denominados due diligence, que son práctica habitual en este tipo de operaciones. La due diligence será, en consecuencia, un trabajo de carácter instrumental que deberá permitir a YY y ZZ (las Partes), por medio de sus Bancos de Negocio y Asesores Legales, obtener el grado de satisfacción adecuada sobre el soporte documental de respaldo de los patrimonios a valorar y a integrar posteriormente en la NewCo. Considerando la importancia de estos trabajos, el momento en el que habrán de realizarse, los alcances de dichos trabajos, y el carácter confidencial de determinadas informaciones que serán accesibles a las partes, se debe partir de una clara delimitación de los intervinientes en el proceso material de revisión, las condiciones de acceso al espacio físico habilitado o Data Room (DR) donde quedará disponible la documentación, todo lo cual aconseja disponer unas ciertas normas que garanticen: I. OBJECTIVE AND JUSTIFICATION OF THESE RULES Compliance with that established by the 7th stipulation of the Agreement of 03/26/2007 between YY and XX, requires, among other activities, a process of verification or auditing commonly called "due diligence", which is standard practice in this type of operation. Therefore, due diligence will be a documenting process that will allow YY and ZZ (hereinafter, The Parties), through their investment banks and legal counsel, to reach an adequate degree of satisfaction regarding supporting documents which corroborate the assets to be appraised and later integrated into the resulting New Company. Considering the importance of this work, a determination of the time-frame in which it will be carried out, the scope of such work, and the confidential nature of certain information which will be accessible to The Parties, should be based on a clear definition of the contracting parties which will be involved in the actual revision process and the conditions of access to the physical space provided or Data Room (Hereinafter, DR), where the documentation will be available. All of these considerations suggest the stipulation of certain regulations that garantee: David Higbee Portfolio 5
