(i) the Primary Parties shall promptly endeavor in good faith to resolve the Disputed Amounts listed in the Notice of Objection. If a written agreement determining the Disputed Amounts has not been reached within ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt by Primary Purchaser from Primary Seller of the Notice of Objection, the resolution of such Disputed Amounts shall be submitted to any partner of KPMG Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, S.C., different than the partners that are currently in charge of the external audit of the financial information of the Company (the “Expert”), which the Primary Parties hereby jointly and irrevocably appoint;

Such documents shall be delivered no later than fifteen (15) days following submission for Expert’s intervention. Within ten (10) days following the receipt of such documents, the Expert may request the Primary Parties to provide further information, in the understanding that such additional information shall only be requested for clarifying purposes. During such term, the Expert may, set up meetings with the Primary Parties as the Expert may deem reasonably necessary;

(iii) the determination made by the Expert shall be final and binding upon each Party hereto in terms of article 2252 of the Federal Civil Code (Código Civil Federal); accordingly, the Final Purchase Price shall be recalculated based upon the final determination of the Expert with respect to the Disputed Amounts and the Final Purchase Price, as so recalculated, shall be deemed to be final and binding;

(iv) if the Primary Parties submit any Disputed Amounts to the Expert for resolution, Sellers and Purchasers shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 2.3(d). Sellers shall be responsible for that fraction of the fees and costs of the Expert where (A) the numerator is the absolute value of the difference between Primary Seller’s aggregate position with respect to the Final Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price as recalculated based upon Expert’s final determination with respect to the Disputed Amounts; and (B) the denominator

is the absolute value of the difference between Primary Seller’s aggregate position with respect to the Final Purchase Price and Primary Purchaser’s aggregate position with respect to the Final Purchase Price, and Purchasers shall be responsible for the remainder of such fees and costs; and

(v) the Primary Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Expert’s determination of the Disputed Amounts to be no less than the lesser of the amount claimed by either Primary Seller or Primary Purchaser, and no greater than the greater of the amount claimed by either Primary Seller or Primary Purchaser; provided that, if, notwithstanding the commercially reasonable efforts of Primary Seller or Primary Purchaser, (i) the Expert’s determination of any Disputed Amount is less than the lesser of the amounts claimed by either Primary Seller or Primary Purchaser, then such disputed amount shall be deemed to be the lesser of the amounts claimed by either Primary Seller or Primary Purchaser or (ii) the Expert’s determination of any Disputed Amount is more than the greater of the amounts claimed by either Primary Seller or Primary Purchaser, then such disputed amount shall be deemed to be the greater of the amounts claimed by either Primary Seller or Primary Purchaser.

(e) Upon the determination, in accordance with Sections 2.3(c) or Section 2.3(d) hereof, of the Final Purchase Price, Primary Seller (on behalf of Sellers) or Primary Purchaser (on behalf of Purchasers), as the case may be, shall make the payment required by this Section 2.3(e). The amount payable by Sellers or Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price Adjustment” and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes. For purposes of the calculations set forth herein, to the extent any of the Subject Companies’ accounting is kept in Pesos and therefore the calculations set forth herein are made in Pesos, any Purchase Price Adjustment shall be converted into Dollars using the Exchange Rate to satisfy obligations denominated in foreign currency payable in Mexico (Tipo de cambio para solventar obligaciones denominadas en moneda extranjera) published in the Federal Official Gazette (Diario Oficial de la Federación) by the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de México) (the “Exchange Rate”) on the Closing Date (or if no Exchange Rate is published on the Closing Date, the last Exchange Rate published prior to the Closing Date).

Any amount to be paid by Primary Purchaser on behalf of Purchasers pursuant

to this Section 2.3(e)(i) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Primary Seller on behalf of Sellers in writing to Primary Purchaser promptly after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price; and

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price, then within three (3) Business Days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price, the Primary Parties shall cause the escrow agent to immediately release from the Purchase Price Escrow Fund: (a) to Primary Purchaser on behalf of Purchasers, an amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price; and (b) to Primary Seller on behalf of Sellers, the balance, if any, of the Purchase Price Escrow Fund. In the event that the amount of funds in the Purchase Price Escrow Fund is less than the Purchase Price Adjustment, then Primary Seller on behalf Sellers shall pay or cause to be paid to Primary Purchaser on behalf of Purchasers such difference. Any amount to be paid by Primary Seller on behalf of Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.3(e)(ii) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Primary Purchaser in writing to Primary Seller promptly after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price.

(c) Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Claim Certificate (other than a Third Party Claim, which is addressed in Section 8.7) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been finally determined in accordance with this Agreement hereof or shall have been settled as described in Section 8.7, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims”. Within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim, if the Indemnified Party is (i) any Seller Indemnitee, Primary Purchaser shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than two (2) Business Days prior to such payment, or (ii) any Purchaser Indemnitee, (A) the Primary Parties shall execute and deliver to the escrow agent in terms of the Escrow Agreement a joint written instruction instructing the escrow agent to pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by Primary Purchaser in such joint written instruction and (B) to the extent the amount of the Agreed Claims exceeds the then-remaining

Indemnification Escrow Funds and such excess may be attributable to any of Sellers Indemnification obligations other than pursuant to Section 8.2(i), then the Primary Seller on behalf of Sellers shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to such excess amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by Primary Purchaser.

Section 8.7 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a claim by a third party is made against any Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party; provided, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party, and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) such Third Party Claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against Purchasers; (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks an attachment (embargo) or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnifying Party, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim; (iv) no conflict of interest arises that prohibits, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, a single counsel from representing both the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim; (v) the defense of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party or any business thereof; or (vi) the Indemnifying Party does not have sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.7(a), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party (except as provided in

Section 8.7(d)) shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the other party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay or settle any such Third Party Claim at its own expense, provided that, in such event, the Indemnified Party shall waive any rights to indemnity hereunder in respect of the matter so settled without the Indemnifying Party's consent.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a Third Party Claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the Third Party Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), enter into any settlement unless such settlement (i) is entirely indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII; (ii) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such Third Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim or consent to entry of any judgment; and (iii) does not impose any injunctive relief or other restrictions of any kind or nature on any Indemnified Party.

(e) The Indemnified Party shall make available records relating to such Third Party Claim and shall furnish, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense to the Indemnifying Party and/or its counsel, such employees of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any such Third Party Claim or for testimony as witnesses in any proceeding relating to such Third Party Claim.

Section 8.8 Sole Remedy/Waiver. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) in the event that the Closing occurs, the remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement (except with respect to any fraud and/or any intentional omission or intentional misrepresentation with respect to any representation or warranty made by Sellers in Article III or in any schedule, exhibit, certificate or disclosure letter delivered pursuant to this Agreement); and (ii) Purchasers’ sole source of recourse from Sellers for any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.2(i), Section 8.2(iii), Section 8.2(iv), and Section 8.5(e) shall be payment from the Indemnification Escrow Fund.

Section 8.9 Release of Funds from the Indemnification Escrow Fund. Funds from the Indemnification Escrow Fund will be released from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.9:

(a) on the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchasers and Sellers shall jointly instruct the escrow agent to disburse from the Indemnification Escrow Fund to Sellers the funds that, as of such date, represent the then-remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, if any, in excess of the sum of (i) $77,000,000 plus, (ii) any additional amount by which the Indemnification Escrow Fund was increased pursuant to Section 5.16(f) (such excess amount, the “Release Amount”), with such Release Amount to be reduced by (A) the amount, if any, which Sellers and Purchasers have instructed the escrow agent to disburse funds from the Indemnification Escrow Fund but which have not actually been disbursed as of such date, and (B) the amount of any claim submitted by any Purchaser Indemnitee prior to such date, in accordance with this Article VIII that remains pending as of such date;

(b) on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchasers and Sellers shall jointly instruct the escrow agent to disburse from the Indemnification Escrow Fund to Sellers the funds that, as of such date, represent the then-remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, if any, in excess of $25,000,000, with such excess amount to be reduced by (A) the amount, if any, which Sellers and Purchasers have instructed the escrow agent to disburse funds from the Indemnification Escrow Fund but which have not actually been disbursed as of such date and, (B) the amount of any claim submitted by any Purchaser Indemnitee prior to such date, in accordance with this Article VIII that remains pending as of such date; and

(c) on the 90th day after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchasers and Sellers shall jointly instruct the escrow agent to disburse from the Escrow Fund to each Seller its respective share of the then-remaining funds in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, with such Indemnification Escrow Fund to be reduced by (A) the amount, if any, which Sellers and Purchasers have instructed the escrow agent to disburse funds from the Indemnification Escrow Fund but which have not actually been disbursed as of such date, and (B) the amount of any claim submitted by any Purchaser Indemnitee prior to such date in accordance with this Article VIII that remains pending as of such date.

Article IX

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.1 Section 338 Election. Purchaser shall retain the right of making an irrevocable election under §338(g) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares of the Subject Companies hereunder (“Section 338(g) Election”). The terms, conditions and procedures relating to the Section 338(g) Election, if made, shall be in accordance with the following:

(a) If Purchasers make a Section 338(g) Election for any or all of the Subject Companies, then Purchasers shall indemnify and hold harmless, and reimburse the Sellers for any incremental Taxes (including any interest, penalties and or other statutory additions to Tax) that may be incurred by the Sellers by reason of the Section 338(g) Election being made which computation shall be based upon the difference between:

(i) the after-Tax proceeds that the Sellers would have realized after payment of all federal, state and local Taxes attributable to their sale of stock of the Company to Purchaser in a transaction in which no Section 338(g) Election had been made; and

(ii) the actual after-Tax proceeds realized after payment of all federal, state and local Taxes attributable to their sale of stock of the Company to Purchaser (taking into account, without limitation, the additional Tax liability resulting from and/or attributable to, the Section 338(g) Election, and including Tax liability resulting from the reimbursement hereunder).

(b) The intent of this Section is to provide the same after-Tax proceeds to Sellers if Purchasers make a Section 338(g) Election with respect to the Subject Companies as would be realized by Sellers if no Section 338(g) Election had been made, and shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent. The adjustment resulting from this Section is generally referred to herein as the “338 Tax Adjustment”.

(c) The Parties agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Subject Companies (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of the Subject Companies for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) in a manner consistent with Code §338 and §1060 and the regulations there under. Purchasers and the Subject Companies shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation.

(d)Sellers shall provide Purchasers with a schedule computing the amount of the Tax resulting from the §338 election within 20 days after the Parties agree to the allocation of the Purchase Price. In making such calculation, the highest corporate federal and state tax rates to which Seller is subject shall be used and any other items of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credits of Sellers shall be ignored.

(e)Purchasers shall pay and/or reimburse the Sellers for all reasonable professional and other fees and costs (including attorneys’, accountants and filing and similar fees) incurred by the Sellers by reason of or in any way relating to the Section 338 Election being made (collectively, the “338 Costs”). Within thirty (30) days of Seller’s Representative providing with an itemization of the 338 Costs, Primary Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers the amount of the 338 Costs.

Section 9.2 Tax Returns Due After the Closing Date.

(a) Full Year 2012 and Short Period 2013 Income Tax Returns. With respect to Tax Returns for the Subject Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are due to be filed after the Closing Date, including the Subject Companies’ U.S. federal and state income and franchise Tax Returns, the Mexican Income Tax return and the Canadian Income Tax Return for the 2012 accounting year (if not filed before the Closing Date) and applicable U.S. federal and state income and franchise Tax Returns and Canadian Income Tax Return for the period from January 1, 2013 to the Closing Date (the “Short Period” with the federal and any related state income and franchise Tax Returns for the Short Period being collectively referred to as the “Short Period Return”), the Company shall engage an outside accounting firm to be selected by the Primary Seller which firm shall prepare the Tax Returns of the Subject Companies (at the Company’s expense) in a manner consistent with prior period practices and under the overall direction and control of the Primary Seller. At least forty-five (45) days prior to filing such Tax Returns (but in the case of the Short Period Returns no later than December 15, 2013), Primary Seller or said accounting firm shall provide copies of such Tax Returns and complete access to all information relied upon as support for such Tax Returns, including to transfer pricing documentation, to Primary Purchaser for its review. Primary Purchaser shall advise Primary Seller of any disagreement with items shown on such Tax Returns within twenty (20) business days after Primary Purchaser’s receipt of such copies. If Primary Purchaser advises Primary Seller of its disagreement with any items on such Tax Returns, Primary Purchaser and Primary Seller shall cooperate to resolve any such disagreement. If Primary Purchaser and Primary Seller are unable to resolve any such disagreement by the due date of such Tax Returns, the disputed Tax Returns will be filed, as prepared, with the appropriate Tax Authority on or before the due date and such disagreement shall be referred to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm chosen by and mutually acceptable to both Primary Purchaser and Primary Seller, which firm shall decide the matter within thirty (30) days after it is submitted to them. The fees of such accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. The decision of such accounting firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties absent fraud or gross negligence. In the event the decision of such accounting firm includes filing an amended Tax Return, the Sellers shall be responsible for filing all amended Tax Returns and Sellers shall be responsible for the payment, if any, of any additional Tax (including penalties and interest thereon) due and payable pursuant to such amended Tax Return, and Sellers shall be entitled to any overpayment of Tax pursuant to such amended Tax Return. Once prepared, Primary Purchaser shall have an appropriate officer of the applicable Subject Company sign such Tax Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 9.2 and shall cause the applicable Subject Company to timely file such Tax Returns. Purchasers shall not be responsible for the completeness and accuracy of any Tax Returns filed pursuant to this Section 9.2. With respect to any Tax covered by this Section 9.2 Sellers shall promptly pay to Purchasers (or be paid by Purchasers, if a credit) the difference between what was accrued

as a liability for said Tax in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital and the actual liability shown on the Tax Returns as filed.

(b) Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”):

(i)Property Taxes. Sellers shall be responsible for all real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) allocated to the period on and prior to the Closing Date, regardless of when such Property Taxes become due and payable. Property Taxes allocated to the period on and prior to the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that are in the taxable period on and prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the taxable period. The Tax liability for any Property Taxes allocated to periods on and prior to the Closing Date (but payable after the Closing Date) shall be paid by Sellers to Purchasers on the Closing Date.

(ii)2013 Mexican Income Tax Return. Sellers shall be responsible for Mexican income Tax allocated to the Straddle Period. The portion of the Mexican income Tax allocated to the Straddle Period shall be equal to the amount of the entire 2013 Mexican income Tax liability multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the period on and prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period. Sellers shall promptly pay to Purchasers (or be credited by Purchasers) the difference between what was accrued as a liability for 2013 Mexican income Taxes in calculating the Closing Working Capital and Sellers’ allocated responsibility as calculated in this Section 9.2(b).

Primary Purchaser shall prepare (at Primary Purchaser’s expense) the 2013 Mexican Income Tax Return. At least thirty (30) days prior to filing such Tax Return, Primary Purchaser shall provide a copy of such Tax Return and complete access to all information relied upon as support for such Tax Return, including transfer pricing documentation, to Primary Seller for its review. Primary Seller shall advise Purchaser of any disagreement with items shown on such Tax Return within fifteen (15) business days after Primary Seller’s receipt of such copy. If Primary Seller advises Primary Purchaser of its disagreement with any items on such Tax Return, Primary Purchaser and Primary Seller shall cooperate to resolve any such disagreement. If Primary Purchaser and Primary Seller are unable to resolve any such disagreement by the due date of such Tax Return, the disputed Tax Return will be filed, as prepared, with the appropriate Tax Authority on or before the due date and such disagreement shall be referred to a firm recognized by the Instituto Mexicano de Contadores Públicos, A.C. chosen by and mutually acceptable to both Primary Purchaser and Primary

Seller, which firm shall decide the matter within thirty (30) days after it is submitted to them. The fees of such accounting firm shall be divided equally between the Purchasers and Sellers. The decision of such accounting firm shall be final and binding upon all Parties absent fraud or gross negligence.

(c) Audit - Sales and Use Taxes. In the event that an audit relating to sales and use Taxes of a Subject Company includes both pre‑Closing and post‑Closing periods, Primary Seller and Primary Purchaser will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to direct the tax auditor to calculate any pre‑Closing assessment based exclusively on pre‑Closing transactions and/or statistical samples and any post‑Closing assessment based exclusively on post‑Closing transactions and/or statistical samples. Notwithstanding Primary Seller’s and Primary Purchaser’s efforts pursuant to the preceding sentence, Sellers shall be liable for any assessment, Liability or other amounts determined to be due with respect to periods or transactions on or prior to the Closing Date and Purchasers shall be liable for any assessment, Liability or other amounts determined to be due with respect to periods or transactions following the Closing Date.

Section 9.3 Tax Refunds. Sellers shall be entitled to any refund of any Taxes of any of the Subject Companies which relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date to the extent that such refunds where not reflected in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital. Purchasers shall pay to Sellers any such refund (net of any Taxes of any Purchasers or any Subject Company) within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchasers shall have no obligation to reimburse Sellers for any Tax attributes, net operating losses or the like.

Section 9.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) The Purchasers, the Subject Companies and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 9.2 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Purchasers and Sellers each shall cause the Subject Companies: (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Subject Companies and their subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give Purchasers and Sellers reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such

books and records and, to the extent requested by Purchasers or Sellers, as the case may be, to allow any such requesting party to take possession of such books and records.

(b) Purchasers and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Purchasers and Sellers further agree, upon reasonable written request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to any applicable Tax laws, including pursuant to §6043 or §6043A of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 9.5 Amended Returns and Retroactive Elections. Purchasers shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Subject Companies or any of their Subsidiaries to (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to any tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period; or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such year or to any Straddle Period, in each such case without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 9.6 Certain Transfer Taxes and Fees. All ministerial transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration or other Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges, other fees and charges (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions set forth herein shall be borne by the Purchasers; provided, however, that this Section 9.6 shall not apply to income Taxes, withholding Taxes or other similar Taxes.
