(e) The Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Entities to reasonably cooperate with the Seller and its Affiliates (at the sole cost and expense of the Seller and its Affiliates) and their counsel in connection with the CAFTA Claim, which cooperation will include, but not be limited to, the following: (A) if requested by the Seller or its Affiliates, the Purchaser will cause officers, directors, and employees of the Acquired Entities to (i) appear for a reasonable number of interviews, at reasonable times and locations, and (ii) answer questions concerning such CAFTA Claim or concerning their work for the Acquired Entities, (B) the Purchaser will cause the Acquired Entities to produce their non-privileged books, records, returns, documents, files, other information on file prior to Closing (including working papers and schedules) relating to such CAFTA Claim within the Acquired Entities’ custody and control, which it is reasonably requested to produce by the Seller or its Affiliates, and (C) upon reasonable notice from the Seller or its Affiliates, the Purchaser shall instruct the officers, directors and employees of the Acquired Entities to (i) appear for a reasonable number of hearings, depositions and at trial or arbitral proceeding (including as witnesses) related to any such CAFTA Claim, and (ii) meet with the representatives of the Seller and its Affiliates to assist in preparation for such depositions and trials.

Section 6.6 Preservation of Records; Post-Closing Cooperation.

(a) The Purchaser agrees that it shall preserve and keep any books, records and other documents relating to the businesses of the Acquired Entities for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records available for inspection and copying to the Seller as may be reasonably required. No such books, records or documents shall be destroyed by the Purchaser without first advising the Seller in writing and giving the Seller a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof.

(b) After the Closing, each party shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the other party reasonable access during normal business hours to such information and employees as may be reasonably required by such party and relating to the Acquired Entities in connection with, among other things, (i) financial reporting, accounting and Tax matters, (ii) any insurance claims by, suits, actions, claims, or proceedings against or investigations of, any party or (iii) in order to enable any party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby. No party shall be required by this Section 6.6(b) to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations or be reasonably expected to violate any attorney-client privilege of a party or its Affiliates or violate any applicable Law.

Section 6.7 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) the Purchaser shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the Transactions and (b) the Seller shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the Transactions.

Section 6.8 Directors and Officers.

(a) Immediately following the Closing, the Purchaser shall take all such action as shall be required to release resigning directors and officers of the Acquired Entities from liability in connection with their service as directors and officers of the Acquired Entities. For such purpose, the Purchaser shall take all necessary actions to carry out an equity holder’s meeting for each Acquired Entity immediately after the Closing, in which the equity holders of each Acquired Entity shall accept the resignation of each such director and officer, effective as of the date of issuance of each resignation letter, and grant the release pursuant to this Section 6.8. The Purchaser shall take all necessary actions to provide each resigning director and officer of the Acquired Entities with the appropriate document that evidences such release. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each resigning director and officer of the Acquired Entities to release the Purchaser and its Affiliates from any and all liability to such resigning Person in connection with their service as directors and officers of the Acquired Entities. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such resigning director and officer of the Acquired Entities to provide to the Purchaser and its Affiliates with a release of any and all liability to such resigning Person except as specifically provided by this Agreement.

(b) From, and for a period of six (6) years following, the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause each Acquired Entity to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of each Acquired Entity (each, a “Indemnified Director”, collectively, the “Indemnified Directors”), who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Director is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such Acquired Entity, against any and all costs or expenses (including, without limitation, travel expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in defense or settlement or otherwise arising out of or pertaining to any facts or events existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date to the extent permitted as of the date hereof by applicable Law and by the Company Charter Documents of such Acquired Entity, as applicable. The Purchaser shall, or shall cause each Acquired Entity to, advance expenses to an Indemnified Director, as incurred, to the extent such advances are permitted as of the date hereof by applicable Law and by the Company Charter Documents of such Acquired Entity; provided, that the Indemnified Director to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Director is not entitled to indemnification. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Closing Date), (i) the Indemnified Directors shall promptly notify the Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Entity thereof, (ii) any counsel retained by the Indemnified Director for any period after the Closing Date shall be subject to the consent of the Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Entity (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (iii) none of the Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Entity shall be obligated to pay for more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Directors, except to the extent that (A) an Indemnified Director has been advised by counsel that there are conflicting interests between it and any other Indemnified Director, or (B) local counsel, in addition to such other counsel, is required to effectively defend against such action or proceedings, and (iv) none of the Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Entity shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Purchaser and the applicable Acquired Entity shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Director when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Indemnified Director in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) If the Purchaser or any Acquired Entity or any of their successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of the Purchaser or such Acquired Entity shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

Section 6.9 Related-Party Transactions. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller and the Acquired Entities shall terminate, with no further liability to any of the Acquired Entities, all contracts between any Acquired Entity and the Seller or its Affiliates (other than those contracts set forth on Schedule 6.9 of the Disclosure Schedule).

Section 6.10 TECO Marks. TECO Marks will appear on some of the assets of the Acquired Entities, including on signage at the facilities of the Acquired Entities, and on supplies, materials, stationery, brochures, advertising materials, manuals and similar consumable items of the Acquired Entities. The Purchaser shall, (i) within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, remove, cover or conceal the TECO Marks from the assets of the Acquired Entities, including signage at the facilities of the Acquired Entities, and provide written verification thereof to the Seller promptly after completing such removal and (ii) within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, return or destroy (with proof of destruction) all other assets of the Acquired Entities that contain any TECO Marks that are not removed, covered or concealed; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be authorized to continue to use for internal purposes only and not for public use, materials bearing such TECO Marks (including manuals) used by the Seller and the Acquired Entities prior to the Closing for up to two (2) months following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, use of the TECO Marks shall remain under the control of the Seller and all goodwill associated with the TECO Marks shall remain with the Seller. Subject to the terms of the preceding sentences, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has and, upon consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby shall have, no right, title, interest, license, or any other right whatsoever to use the TECO Marks. The Purchaser agrees never to challenge the Seller’s (or its Affiliates’) ownership of the TECO Marks or any application for registration thereof or any registration thereof or any rights of the Seller or its Affiliates therein as a result, directly or indirectly, of their ownership of the Acquired Entities. The Purchaser will not conduct any business nor offer any goods or services under any TECO Marks. The Purchaser will not send, or cause to be sent, any correspondence or other materials to any Person on any stationery that contains any TECO Marks or otherwise operate the Acquired Entities in any manner which would or might reasonably be expected to confuse any Person into believing that the Purchaser has any right, title, interest or license to use any TECO Marks. Nothing herein shall be construed as granting the Purchaser the right to use the TECO Marks in any manner or for any purpose inconsistent with or to any greater extent than the current use of such TECO Marks by the Acquired Entities.

Section 6.11 Consents. The Purchaser acknowledges that certain consents or waivers with respect to the Transactions may be required, including with respect to the Contracts of Operaciones and that such consents have not been obtained. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on behalf of the Purchaser such consents; provided that the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller’s obligation under this Section 6.11 shall not include any obligation on the part of the Seller or any of its Affiliates to enter into or modify any form of relationship, arrangement or agreement with any third party or require the payment by the Seller or any of its Affiliates of any compensation or other consideration. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller shall not have any liability or obligation whatsoever to

the Purchaser arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may be required in connection with the Transactions or because of the termination of any Contract as a result thereof. The Purchaser agrees that no representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller contained in this Agreement shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (a) the failure to obtain any consent, (b) any such termination or (c) any lawsuit, action, proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any termination.

Section 6.12 Non-Solicitation. Beginning on the date hereof and continuing until the date which is twenty four (24) months after the Closing Date, the Seller and its Affiliates shall not initiate, knowingly solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer for employment or employ, including as consultant or independent contractor, any person who on the Closing Date is an employee, officer or manager of any of the Acquired Entities and that resides in Guatemala, except with the express written permission of the Purchaser in each instance; provided, that the foregoing restriction will not apply to (i) general solicitations for employees not specifically directed at any such person, (ii) general mandates given to recruitment consultants or (iii) soliciting or hiring any person who was not employed by any of the Acquired Entities at any time during the thirty (30) days prior to such solicitation or hiring.

Section 6.13 Exclusivity. Between the date hereof and the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or termination in accordance with Section 9.1: (a) the Seller shall not and shall cause each of the Acquired Entities not to, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiry, proposal, offer or discussion with any party (other than the Purchaser) concerning any Acquisition Transaction, (ii) furnish any information concerning the business, properties or assets of the Acquired Entities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) or (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any party (other than the Purchaser) concerning any such transaction; and (b) the Seller shall and shall cause the Acquired Entities to (i) immediately cease any discussions or negotiations of the nature described in clause (a) of this Section that were pending, (ii) refrain from entering into any Acquisition Transaction, and (iii) promptly advise the Purchaser in writing of the receipt, directly or indirectly, of any inquiry, proposal or other materials, and of any discussions, negotiations or proposals relating to, an Acquisition Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller and its Affiliates will not be in violation of this Section 6.13 in connection with any discussions or proposals relating to an Acquisition Transaction with C.F. Financeco, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (or any of its successors or assigns).

Section 6.14 Commitment Letters. The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with its obligations and enforce its rights under the Commitment Letters in a timely manner and shall not permit any amendment or modification thereto, or any waiver of any provision or remedy thereunder, which would have the effect of introducing an additional condition to such counterparties’ obligations, reducing the amount of the commitments thereunder or delaying the Closing. If any portion of the financing contemplated pursuant to the

Commitment Letters (the “Financing”) becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letters, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller within two (2) Business Days and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on substantially the same terms (including pricing) in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event. The Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller true and complete copies of all agreements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide the Purchaser with any portion of the financing necessary to consummate the Transactions. The Purchaser shall give the Seller notice within two (2) Business Days of any material breach by any party to the Commitment Letters, or any termination of the Commitment Letters. The Purchaser shall refrain (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to refrain) from taking, directly, or indirectly, any action that would result in a failure of any of the conditions contained in the Commitment Letters or in any definitive agreements related to the Financing. The Purchaser shall not agree to or permit any material amendment, supplement or other modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing that would materially and adversely affect or delay in any material respect the Purchaser’s ability to consummate the Transactions, without first obtaining the Seller’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any material breach by the Purchaser of the Commitment Letters and/or any related fee or engagement letter shall be deemed a material breach by the Purchaser of this Section 6.14. The Purchaser will provide to the Seller any modifications or amendments to the Commitment Letters, or any material notices given in connection therewith, promptly but in any event within two (2) Business Days.

ARTICLE VII

POST-CLOSING TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Tax Filings. The Seller shall cause the Acquired Entities to file all Tax returns due on or prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and shall cause the Acquired Entities to file all Tax returns that are due after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the right to review and approve any such Tax return which relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a draft copy of which shall be provided to the Seller not later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the applicable due date thereof); provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All Tax returns that are filed pursuant to this Section 7.1, in the absence of a controlling change in any Law or circumstances, shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the elections, accounting methods, conventions and principles of taxation used for the most recent taxable periods for which Tax returns have been filed and in a manner that does not accelerate deductions or defer income between Tax periods, except as otherwise required by any applicable Law.

Section 7.2 Pre-Closing and Straddle-Period Taxes.

(a) Taxes relating to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Date Tax Period or Post-Closing Date Tax Period for purposes of determining the portion of such Taxes that are Pre-Closing Taxes as follows: Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or imposed on a transactional basis, be deemed equal to the amount of Tax that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of other Taxes, determined by allocating such Taxes between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period on a per diem basis. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated pro rata per day between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) Following the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser will cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in the preparation of any Tax returns and in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes involving or relating to the Acquired Entities (which cooperation will include the retention and, upon request, the provision to the requesting party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to the preparation of such Tax return or to the conduct of such audit or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder). The Purchaser and the Seller agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Entities relating to any Pre-Closing Date Tax Period, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, shall allow such other party to take possession of such books and records. The Purchaser will promptly provide the Seller with written notification in the manner set forth in (and subject to the terms of) Section 11.9 of any notice of any Tax audits or other assessments against any of the Acquired Entities involving any Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(c) The Seller shall control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with the conduct of any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding related to Pre-Closing Taxes for which the Seller is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement (other than Taxes relating to a Straddle Period), and the Seller will reasonably consult with the Purchaser prior to any settlement thereof and will not enter into any such settlement without the Purchaser’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement could result in an increase in any Taxes for which the Purchaser is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) The Seller and the Purchaser will jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes of any of the Acquired Entities for any Straddle Period. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser will settle any assessment or claim made by any Governmental Authority in any such audit or other proceeding without the prior written consent of the others (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.3 Post-Closing Actions; Refunds.

(a) Post-Closing Actions. The Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) to, take any action during any Straddle Period, outside of the ordinary course of business, or make any election, that could increase the Seller’s liability for Taxes (including any liability of the Seller to indemnify the Purchaser for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement) except in each case as may be required by applicable Law, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by an Acquired Entity prior to the Closing (in which case the Purchaser will provide written notice to the Seller of such action or election and the consequences thereof not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to taking such action or making such election). The Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Acquired Entities to, amend, re-file or otherwise modify any Tax return for any period that includes, or ends on or prior to, the Closing Date, in each case, without the Seller’s prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Purchaser shall not make, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) not to make, (i) any election under Section 338 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (or any comparable election under the Law of any U.S. state or local jurisdiction) with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Entities without the prior written consent of the Seller (which the Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), or (ii) any election provided under U.S. federal, state or local Law with respect to the Acquired Entities (including any election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3), which election would be effective on or prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Acquired Entities to, make any election under foreign Law that would be effective on or prior to the Closing Date which could increase the Seller’s liability for Taxes (including any liability of the Seller to indemnify the Purchaser for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement). Following the Closing, the Seller will in good faith cooperate with the Purchaser to the extent reasonably requested by the Purchaser, to determine the consequences of any proposed restructuring of the Purchaser, any of the Acquired Entities or the financing of any thereof that could have an effect on the Seller during any Straddle Period.

(b) Proceedings. The Purchaser shall control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with the conduct of any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding related to Post-Closing Taxes for which the Purchaser is obligated to provide indemnification under this agreement (other than Taxes relating to a Straddle Period), and the Purchaser will reasonably consult with the Seller prior to any settlement thereof and will not enter into any such settlement without the Seller’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld,

conditioned or delayed) if such settlement could result in an increase in any Taxes of the Seller for which the Seller is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) Refunds. Any refunds or credits of Taxes paid by, for or on behalf of the Acquired Entities relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (plus any interest actually received with respect thereto and including refunds or credits arising from amended Tax returns filed on or after the Closing Date) shall be for the Seller’s account and, if received by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities), shall be paid to the Seller within ten (10) Business Days after such receipt by the Purchaser or such Affiliate (including the Acquired Entities); provided, that such refunds or credits of Taxes shall be for the Seller’s account only if and to the extent that the Tax liability to which the refund or credit relates was paid by an Acquired Entity prior to the Closing Date or paid (or actually indemnified) by the Seller.

Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Seller and the Purchaser;

(b) by the Seller or the Purchaser:

(i) if the Closing Date does not occur on or before the later of (A) ninety (90) days after the date of this Agreement and (B) sixty (60) days after any ROFO Expiration (the “Walk-Away Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Closing Date to occur on or before the Walk-Away Date was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that if as of such date the only condition to the Closing which has not been satisfied or waived is the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(a), then the Walk-Away Date will be extended for ten (10) additional days; provided, further, that if the Seller exercises its right to deliver a Disclosure Schedule Update, then solely as to the Purchaser, the Walk-Away Date shall be the later of the date specified in this Section 9.1(b)(i) above or the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the delivery of such Disclosure Schedule Update; or

(ii) if any order or restraint having the effect set forth in Section 8.1(b) shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable;

(c) by the Purchaser, (i) if the Seller shall have materially breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach (x) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2 and (y) cannot be cured by the Seller by the Walk-Away Date; provided, however, that the Purchaser is not in breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (ii) pursuant to the final sentence of Section 11.12(g).

(d) by the Seller, (i) if the Purchaser shall have materially breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach (x) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3 and (y) cannot be cured

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination; Reverse Termination Fee.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than the last sentence of Section 6.4, the last sentence of Section 6.5(a), Section 6.5(b), Section 6.7, this Section 9.2 and Article XI) and there shall be no liability on the part of the Purchaser or the Seller or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates, except that, where a party has committed fraud or intentionally breached this Agreement, nothing shall relieve such party from liability to the non-breaching party for such fraud or intentional breach nor impair the right of any non-breaching party to compel specific performance by such other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.2(a), in the event this Agreement is terminated by the Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i), the Seller shall immediately draw down the total amount from the Letter of Credit (the “Reverse Termination Fee”). The Seller’s right to receive the Reverse Termination Fee from the Purchaser shall be the Seller’s sole remedy in the event of any such termination by the Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) and shall be treated as liquidated damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or as a result of the breach or failure to perform under this Agreement.

(a) The Purchaser shall return to the Seller or destroy (such destruction to be certified in writing by an appropriate officer of the Purchaser) all confidential information received by the Purchaser and its representatives from the Seller, the Acquired Entities or their respective representatives relating to the Seller and the Acquired Entities, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof; and

(b) all confidential information received by the Purchaser and its representatives with respect to the Seller and the Acquired Entities shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect subject to its terms notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

The Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, each Affiliate of the Seller and each of their respective officers, directors, and employees (collectively, the “Seller Group”) from and against, and pay or reimburse, as the case may be, the Seller Group for, any and all Damages actually paid or suffered by any member of the Seller Group based upon or arising out of:

(a) the breach by the Purchaser of any representations and warranties contained in Article V;

(b) the breach by the Purchaser of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement on the part of the Purchaser to be observed or performed; or

(c) any Post-Closing Taxes or any liability for Pre-Closing Taxes that in each case is attributable to a Purchaser Tax Act.

Section 10.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party by a Person not a party hereto (or an Affiliate thereof) with respect to any matter, by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim, including the factual basis for the Third Party Claim and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article X, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof (except that the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all non-ministerial notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in or to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (in either case at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense and any such counsel shall cooperate with the legal counsel of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and each member of such Indemnified Party’s Group completely from all liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or any member of such Indemnified Party’s Group. Whether or not the

Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not and will cause its Affiliates not to, admit any liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of all material developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense thereof, which cooperation will include the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(e) Any claim on account of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim will be asserted by reasonably prompt written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party from whom such indemnification is sought. The notice shall set forth the amount, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount, of claimed Damages and a description of the basis for such claim. The delay by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article X, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof.

(f) In connection with any matter for which a claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable and necessary access to all documents, data, products, product exemplars and knowledgeable personnel of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates relevant to any such matter, in each case at the Indemnified Party’s cost and expense. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall, at its own cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to, provide employees to act as witnesses, prepare and execute statements, authorizations, orders, reports and other documents and information and provide such other assistance, in each case that is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection with any matter for which a claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party under this Agreement, including in anticipation of, or preparation for, existing or future litigation or other matters in which the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates is involved.

(g) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Indemnified Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party

in a reasonable manner in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim. Each such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights.

Section 10.4 Certain Limitations.

(a) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified Party in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts actually received (including amounts received under insurance policies) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party from third parties (net of out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with seeking to collect and collecting such amounts), in respect of such Damages (such net amounts are referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”). If any Indemnified Party receives any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of an Indemnified Claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such Indemnified Claim has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such Indemnified Claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the remaining unpaid balance of such Indemnified Claim, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Indemnified Claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. The Seller and the Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement.

(b) The amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will reduced to take account of any Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Damages.

(c) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller will not have any obligation to indemnify any member of the Purchaser Group with respect to any matter if the Damages arise from a change in the accounting or Tax policies or practices of any of the Acquired Entities after the Closing Date.

(d) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, excluding a party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations, no member of the Seller Group and no member of the Purchaser Group will be entitled to any recovery under this Agreement for

special, punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages, lost profits or diminution in value. No Damages shall be determined or increased based on any multiple of any financial measure (including earnings, sales or other benchmarks) that might have been used by the Purchaser in the valuation of the Acquired Company Interests, the Acquired Entities, or their respective businesses and operations.

(e) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article X for any breach of a representation or warranty hereunder if (1) such Indemnified Party had actual knowledge of such breach on or before Closing and (2) the Indemnifying Party did not have actual knowledge of such breach (or the facts giving rise to such breach) on or before the Closing. Solely for purposes of this Section 10.4(e) “actual knowledge” as it relates to (i) the Purchaser shall mean the actual knowledge of Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx and (ii) the Seller shall mean with respect to the Operaciones, the actual knowledge of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Operations VP and General Manager, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Financial Manager and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Commercial Manager, and with respect to Services and Tasajero, the actual knowledge of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Assistant Controller of TECO Guatemala, Inc.

(f) In addition to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.4 and Section 10.6, with respect to any claim for indemnification regarding any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.10 there shall be no obligation to indemnify any member of the Purchaser Group for any Damages (i) unless the Damages arise out of (A) a Third Party Claim that is not intentionally instigated or encouraged by any member of the Purchaser Group, or (B) a condition discovered in the ordinary course of business, and then (ii) only to the extent such Damages were incurred to comply with applicable Environmental Laws using, in the case of any remedial measures taken by or on behalf of the Purchaser (including the Acquired Entities) after the Closing, reasonable and recognized remediation protocols and techniques that are economically reasonable in relation to other reasonable and recognized remediation protocols and techniques; provided, however, that there shall be no liability for any such Damages to the extent that any member of the Purchaser Group or any other Person after Closing contributed to the condition or circumstance forming the basis of such Damages.

(g) Any Damages for which any member of the Purchaser Group is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Damages constituting a breach of more than one representation and warranty or covenant.

Section 10.5 Termination of Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Each and every representation and warranty of the Seller or the Purchaser contained in Articles III, IV and V will survive the Closing Date solely for purposes of Sections 10.1(a) and 10.2(a), as applicable, until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect after) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.4, 4.2 and 4.11(c) shall survive until (and

will expire and be of no further force or effect after) the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date. Each other representation and warranty made by any party contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in or made pursuant to any closing certificate or other instrument or agreement delivered by any party pursuant to this Agreement will not survive (and will expire at) the Closing and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect and no party will have any obligation to provide indemnification or other liability in respect thereof.

(b) The obligations of each party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Persons (i) pursuant to Sections 10.1(a) and 10.2(a) will terminate when the applicable representation or warranty expires pursuant to Section 10.5(a) and (ii) pursuant to Sections 10.1(b) and 10.2(b) will terminate eighteen (18 months from the date of this Agreement and (iii) pursuant to Sections 10.1(c), 10.1(d) and 10.2(c) will terminate on the date that the applicable statute of limitations relating to any Pre-Closing Taxes, Post-Closing Taxes, or Seller Taxes, as applicable expire; provided, however, that as to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, such obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless will not terminate with respect to any individual item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the applicable Indemnifying Party and such obligation will continue until the resolution of such claim.

Section 10.6 Dollar Limitations.

(a) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the aggregate amount for which the Seller collectively shall be responsible to indemnify the Purchaser Group for all claims under Sections 10.1(a) or 10.1(b) (other than with respect to the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.4, 4.2 and 4.11(c)) exceed, and the Seller’s collective aggregate liability under Sections 10.1(a) or 10.1(b) (other than with respect to the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.4, 4.2 and 4.11(c)) shall be limited to, an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”). In no event will the collective aggregate amount for which the Seller shall be responsible to indemnify the Purchaser Group for all claims under Sections 10.1(a) with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.4, 4.2 and 4.11(c) exceed the Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event will the aggregate amount for which the Seller collectively shall be responsible to indemnify the Purchaser Group for all claims under Sections 10.1(a) or 10.1(b) exceed the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller’s liability relating to the Seller Taxes shall not be subject to any Cap or Basket or Purchase Price limit otherwise provided for herein.

(b) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no monetary amount will be payable by the Seller to any member of the Purchaser Group with respect to the indemnification of any claims pursuant to Section 10.1 until the aggregate amount of Damages actually incurred by the Purchaser Group with respect to such claims against the Seller shall exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to U.S.$1,000,000 of the Purchase

Price (the “Basket”), in which event the Seller shall be responsible for the full amount of the damages (i.e. not just the amount in excess of the Basket). In addition, the Seller will not be responsible for making payments with respect to Damages for any individual unrelated items pursuant to Section 10.1 where the aggregate Damages relating thereto are less than U.S.$100,000 and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of determining whether aggregate Damages incurred by the Purchaser Group exceed the Basket. In connection with any claim for indemnification under Section 10.1, the Purchaser and the other members of the Purchaser Group will promptly provide the Seller with written notice of all claims included in the Basket and copies of all documents reasonably requested by the Seller relating thereto. The limitations of this Section 10.6(b) shall not apply to claims with respect to the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.4, 4.2 and 4.11(c).

Section 10.7 Exclusive Remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the indemnification provided in this Article X and specific performance pursuant to Section 11.13 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to each party and their respective Affiliates and each member of the Seller Group and the Purchaser Group for breaches of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or for any other claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and shall preclude assertion by members of the Seller Group or the Purchaser Group of any other rights, claims or causes of action or the seeking of any other remedies, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, under Law (including statutory or common law) or otherwise, against the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) or against the Seller (or any of its Affiliates), with respect to breaches of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or for any other claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, all of which the Purchaser (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Purchaser Group) and the Seller (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Seller Group) hereby waives.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Acquired Entities are being transferred “as is, where is and with all faults”.
