Unless paid prior to the Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date current and collectible net of the respective reserves shown on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice and, in the case of the reserve as of the Closing Date, will not represent a greater percentage of the Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date than the reserve reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet represented of the Accounts Receivable reflected therein and will not represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts Receivable in terms of aging).

ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION

9.1 TERMINATION EVENTS. This Agreement may, by notice given prior to or at the Closing, be terminated:

a. by either Buyer or Seller if a material Breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other party and such Breach has not been waived;

b.

9.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Each party's right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 11.1 and 11.3 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the Breach of the Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

ARTICLE 10 INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES

All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, the supplements to the Disclosure Letter, the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(v), and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing. The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or

the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

10.2 INDEMNIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF DAMAGES BY SELLER. Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Acquired Companies, and their respective Representatives, stockholders, controlling persons, and affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") for, and will pay to the Indemnified Persons the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage (including incidental and consequential damages), expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees) or diminution of value, whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, "Damages"), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

a. any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (without giving effect to any supplement to the Disclosure Letter), the Disclosure Letter, the supplements to the Disclosure Letter, or any other certificate or document delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

b. any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the Closing Date without giving effect to any supplement to the Disclosure Letter, other than any such Breach that is disclosed in a supplement to the Disclosure Letter and is expressly identified in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(v) as having caused the condition specified in Section 7.1 not to be satisfied;

c. any Breach by either Seller of any covenant or obligation of such Seller in this Agreement;

d. any product shipped or manufactured by, or any services provided by, any Acquired Company prior to the Closing Date;

e. any matter disclosed in the Disclosure Letter; or

f. any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with either Seller or any Acquired Company (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.

The remedies provided in this Section 10.2 will not be exclusive of or limit any other remedies that may be available to Buyer or the other Indemnified Persons.

10.3 INDEMNIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF DAMAGES BY SELLER --ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. In addition to the provisions of Section 10.2, Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Acquired Companies, and the other Indemnified Persons

for, and will pay to Buyer, the Acquired Companies, and the other Indemnified Persons the amount of, any Damages (including costs of cleanup, containment, or other remediation) arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

a. any Environmental, Health, and Safety Liabilities arising out of or relating to:

(i) (A) the ownership, operation, or condition at any time on or prior to the Closing Date of the Facilities or any other properties and assets (whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible) in which Seller or any Acquired Company has or had an interest, or (B) any Hazardous Materials or other contaminants that were present on the Facilities or such other properties and assets at any time on or prior to the Closing Date; or

(ii) (A) any Hazardous Materials or other contaminants, wherever located, that were, or were allegedly, generated, transported, stored, treated, Released, or otherwise handled by Seller or any Acquired Company or by any other Person for whose conduct they are or may be held responsible at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, or (B) any Hazardous Activities that were, or were allegedly, conducted by Seller or any Acquired Company or by any other Person for whose conduct they are or may be held responsible; or

b. any bodily injury (including illness, disability, and death, and regardless of when any such bodily injury occurred, was incurred, or manifested itself), personal injury, property damage (including trespass, nuisance, wrongful eviction, and deprivation of the use of real property), or other damage of or to any Person, including any employee or former employee of Seller or any Acquired Company or any other Person for whose conduct they are or may be held responsible, in any way arising from or allegedly arising from any Hazardous Activity conducted or allegedly conducted with respect to the Facilities or the operation of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing Date, or from Hazardous Material that was

(i) present or suspected to be present on or before the Closing Date on or at the Facilities (or present or suspected to be present on any other property, if such Hazardous Material emanated or allegedly emanated from any of the Facilities and was present or suspected to be present on any of the Facilities on or prior to the Closing Date) or

(ii) Released or allegedly Released by Seller or any Acquired Company or any other Person for whose conduct they are or may be held responsible, at any time on or prior to the Closing Date.

Buyer will be entitled to control any Cleanup, any related Proceeding, and, except as provided in the following sentence, any other Proceeding with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Section 10.3. The procedure described in Section 10.9 will apply to any claim solely for monetary damages relating to a matter covered by this Section 10.3.

10.4 INDEMNIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF DAMAGES BY BUYER. Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller, and will pay to Seller the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with

a. any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement,

b. any Breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement, or

c. any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such Person with Buyer (or any Person acting on its behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.

10.5 TIME LIMITATIONS.

a. If the Closing occurs, Seller will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to:

(i) any representation or warranty, or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, other than those in Sections 3.3, 3.11, 3.13, and 3.19, unless on or before one year following the Closing Date Buyer notifies Seller of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer;

(ii) a claim with respect to Section 3.3, 3.11, 3.13, or 3.19, or a claim for indemnification or reimbursement not based upon any representation or warranty or any covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, may be made at any time.

b. If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty, or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, unless on or before one year following the Closing Date Seller notifies Buyer of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller.

10.6 LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT—SELLER.

a. Seller will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (a), clause (b) or, to the extent relating to any failure to perform or comply prior to the Closing Date, clause (c) of Section 10.2 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $50,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $50,000.

b. Seller will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (d) of Section 10.2 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $10,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $10,000.

However, this Section 10.6 will not apply to any Breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties of which the Seller had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by either Seller of any covenant or obligation, and Seller will be jointly and severally liable for all Damages with respect to such Breaches.

10.7 LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT—BUYER. Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 10.4 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $50,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $50,000. However, this Section 10.7 will not apply to any Breach of any of Buyer's representations and warranties of which Buyer had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation, and Buyer will be liable for all Damages with respect to such Breaches.

10.8 ESCROW AGREEMENT; RIGHT OF SET-OFF.

a. Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off, Buyer may make a claim for damages against the Seller for breach of any representations, warranties, or covenants of the Seller set forth herein. Upon notice to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off, Seller may make a claim for damages against the Buyer for breach of any representations, warranties, or covenants of the Buyer set forth herein. In neither case may the Buyer or the Seller make any claim against the Cogenco Shares held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement for any resulting damages except as set forth in Section 10.8(b), below.

b. (i) (A) To the extent the Spanish Subsidies Commitment is any amount less than €20,000,000 as of the Closing Date, the Buyer may terminate this agreement or (in its discretion) waive the condition precedent set forth in Section 7.2(c) and reduce the purchase price by the Proportional Amount as set forth below. (B) If within twelve months following the Closing Date the amount of Spanish Subsidies Commitment becomes, for whatever reason, less than €20,000,000, the Buyer may remove the Proportional Amount of Cogenco Shares from the Escrow.

(ii) For the purposes of Section 10.8(b)(i), the term “Proportional Amount” means the number of Cogenco Shares calculated as follows:

(A) If the Spanish Subsidies Commitment is equal to or less than €15,000,000, the Proportional Amount is 2,600,000 Cogenco Shares.

(B) If the Spanish Subsidies Commitment is greater than €18,000,000, the Proportional Amount is zero Cogenco Shares.

(C) If the Spanish Subsidies Commitment is equal to or less than €18,000,000 but greater than €15,000,000, the proportional amount will be calculated as follows:

Proportional Amount = X/Y*Z

Where:

X = €20,000,000 minus the actual Spanish Subsidies Commitment
Y = €5,000,000
Z = 2,600,000 Cogenco Shares,

So that if the actual Spanish Subsidies Commitment is €17,000,000, the Proportional Amount that the Buyer will reduce the Purchase Price or remove from Escrow is 1,560,000 Cogenco Shares (€3,000,000/€5,000,000*2,600,000 Cogenco Shares).

10.9 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION -- THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

a. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.2, 10.4, or (to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 10.3) Section 10.3 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice.

(i) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.9(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (A) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (B) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding. The indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Article 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified

party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(ii) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding,

(A) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification;

(B) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent unless (I) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (II) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and

(C) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

d. Seller hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on Seller with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

10.10 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION -- OTHER CLAIMS. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

Any public announcement or similar publicity with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions will be issued, if at all, at such time and in such manner as Buyer determines.

Acquired Companies to waive, any cause of action, right, or claim arising out of the access of Buyer or its representatives to any trade secrets or other confidential information of the Acquired Companies except for the intentional competitive misuse by Buyer of such trade secrets or confidential information.

exhibits and supplemental information within 90 days after the Seller and the Buyer have executed and delivered this Agreement (the “Disclosure Letter Delivery Deadline”).

If the Buyer does not object in writing to any changes or additions to or modifications of the Disclosure Letter within 30 days after having received the Disclosure Letter, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Disclosure Letter.

11.10 ASSIGNMENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. Neither party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties except that Buyer may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Buyer.
