amended by inserting the following at the end thereof:
“In addition, Stockholder shall be liable for (a) any Taxes paid or payable by the Companies
arising out of the Disallowance, and (b) the Foregone Tax Benefit. For purposes of determining
whether Taxes have been paid or are payable by the Company arising out of a Disallowance,
amortization deductions claimed by the Company for the Transferred IP located in
6
Puerto Rico shall be deemed to have been utilized before any other deductions of the Company have
been utilized to offset taxable income of the Company that is subject to tax in Puerto Rico. Any
such claimed amortization deductions that are part of a net operating loss carryforward of the
Company for Puerto Rico tax purposes that would have been carried forward to a taxable year of the
Company subsequent to the taxable year of a Disallowance shall be treated in the same manner as if
such claimed amortization deductions were foregone amortization deductions for purposes of
determining the Foregone Tax Benefit pursuant to this section 5.4(a). The Company shall keep
Stockholder fully informed of the details of any application (other than any Tax Return) seeking
the allowance by a Government Entity of income Tax deductions claimed by the Company for
amortization of the Transferred IP (as defined under the IP Purchase and Sale Agreement) and shall
not have any in-person or telephonic meeting with any Government Entity or other Person related to
such application without giving Stockholder a reasonable opportunity to fully participate in any
such meeting. Additionally, the Company shall (i) allow Stockholder a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on any such application or any amendment or supplement thereof in advance of its
filing, (ii) incorporate comments of Stockholder on such application or any amendment or supplement
thereof to the extent such comments reasonably would be expected to affect Stockholder’s liability
for Taxes under this Agreement, provided that such comments would not otherwise materially
prejudice the Company, and (iii) not file any such application or any amendment or supplement
thereof without the prior consent of Stockholder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). “Disallowance” shall mean each disallowance by a Government Entity during
the Applicable Amortization Period for each of the assets included in the Transferred IP and
located in Puerto Rico of income Tax deductions claimed by the Company for amortization of the
Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico except to the extent that Stockholder can show by a
preponderance of the evidence that any such disallowance was not the result of any transfer of a
portion of such Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico prior to the Effective Time and any related
rescission. The “Applicable Amortization Period” shall mean the amortization period for each of
the assets included in the Transferred IP as set forth on Exhibit 5.4(a). The “Foregone Tax
Benefit” shall mean the amount of the Tax benefit of any forgone amortization deductions under the
Puerto Rican Internal Revenue Code for the Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico for taxable years
subsequent to the last taxable year of a Disallowance, such Tax benefit amount to be determined
based upon the schedule set forth in Exhibit 5.4(a) hereto, except to the extent that Stockholder
can show by a preponderance of the evidence that any such disallowance was not the result of any
transfer of a portion of such Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico prior to the Effective Time and
any related rescission. The Foregone Tax Benefit for a taxable year shall be paid by Stockholder
to the Company within 20 Business Days following the Company notifying Stockholder that is has
filed its applicable Tax Return with respect to the taxable year to which the Foregone Tax Benefit
relates. No Foregone Tax Benefit shall apply with respect to any of the assets included in the
Transferred IP located in Puerto Rico from and after the date any such assets are transferred (or
deemed transferred under the Puerto Rican Internal Revenue Code) or cancelled by the Company during
the Applicable Amortization Period.”

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the
assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or
delivery to the Company of any Transferred Stockholder IP Agreement or any right or any benefit
arising thereunder or resulting therefrom is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require any
governmental or third-party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers (“Transfer
Consents”), Stockholder shall and, shall cause each of its Affiliates (as applicable) to, use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Transfer Consents prior to Closing , provided that,
if any such Transfer Consents shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, the Closing shall
proceed without the assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such Transferred Stockholder IP
Agreement, unless the failure to assign, transfer, convey or deliver any such Transferred
Stockholder IP Agreement prior to Closing would result in a Material Adverse Effect (taking into
consideration the obligations of Stockholder under this Section 5.25) (an “IP MAE”). In
the event that the Closing occurs without the assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any
Transferred Stockholder IP Agreement or any right or benefit arising thereunder or without any
Change of Control Consent, then following the Closing, the Stockholder shall use its best efforts
to obtain promptly any necessary Transfer Consents or Change of Control Consents, and the Company
shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Stockholder in connection with the foregoing;

consideration of any nature for obtaining such Transfer Consent or Change of Control Consent or to
consent to any change in or otherwise compromise the terms of any agreement or arrangement which
the Company reasonably deems to be adverse to the Business (each such action being a
“Concession”). Until such Transfer Consent has been obtained, Stockholder shall use best
efforts to provide to the Companies and any of their Affiliates, through any reasonable and lawful
arrangement, rights and benefits substantially equivalent to those the Companies and their
Affiliates would have received under such Transferred Stockholder IP Agreement had the Transferred
Stockholder IP Agreement been assigned to the Companies at the Closing, and the Companies shall
cooperate as reasonably requested by the Stockholder in connection with the foregoing, without any
obligation to make a Concession. Once the Transfer Consent for the assignment, transfer,
conveyance or delivery of any Transferred Stockholder IP Agreement not assigned, transferred,
conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Stockholder shall or shall cause its relevant
Affiliates to, promptly, assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Transferred Stockholder IP
