4. Section 5.26 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the
following provision:
"5.26. Environmental Insurance Policy. Seller shall purchase an
environmental insurance policy in a form reasonably acceptable to both
parties. If any Adverse Consequence or Environmental Claim is not subject to
the
1
indemnification provisions of Section 9.4, Seller shall nevertheless
indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Adverse Consequences and
Environmental Claims to the extent such Adverse Consequences and
Environmental Claims are covered by such environmental insurance policy.
Further, in the event that a claim is made under such policy, the related
$250,000 deductible shall be paid by Buyer and shall apply to the aggregate
amount of Adverse Consequences suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties as
described in Section 9.3(a), whether or not such claim is based on a breach
by Seller of its representations and warranties under Section 3.11.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a copy
of this Agreement may be disclosed to the insurer."
5. The following provision is added to the Agreement as Section 7.8:
"7.8 Provisions Concerning Certain Mexican Share Transfers by Xxxxxx
a) Buyer will indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for any
Mexican capital gains taxes imposed pursuant to Article 151 of
the Mexican Income Tax Law ("Indemnification Payment") incurred
by Seller on the transfer by Seller of the shares of Frenos
Hidraulicos Automotrices, S.A. de C.V. to Champion Spark Plug
Company.
b) If the transfer(s) by certain Affiliates of Seller of the shares
of Xxxxxx Automotive S.A. de C.V. to Champion Spark Plug Company
and Xxxxxx Automotive Company are deemed void because the Mexican
tax authorities deny exemption of these transfer(s) from
application of the Mexican capital gains tax, then Seller agrees
that it shall cause its Affiliates to sell and Buyer agrees to
cause its designated Affiliate to purchase for $1, all the
outstanding shares of Xxxxxx Automotive S.A. de C.V. on a date
mutually agreed to by the parties, but in no event later than
December 31, 1998. The Preliminary and Final Closing Statements
of Net Assets will include the assets and liabilities of Xxxxxx
Automotive S.A. de C.V. as of October 9, 1998 regardless of the
date of the sale of its shares to Buyer's designated Affiliate.
c) If any Mexican capital gains taxes are payable due to the
transfers of the shares of Xxxxxx Automotive S.A. de C.V. to
Champion Spark Plug Company and Xxxxxx Automotive Company, then
Buyer will indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for any such
Mexican capital gains taxes incurred by Seller and its Affiliates
on the transfer of such shares. Buyer shall indemnify the Seller
Indemnified Parties for such capital gains taxes within ten days
of written demand therefor; provided, however, that such written
demand sets forth in reasonable detail the computation of the
Indemnification Payment.
d) Notwithstanding anything contained in subparagraphs (a) and (c)
above, Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify the Seller
Indemnified Parties for any Mexican capital gains taxes incurred
on the transfers referred to in
2
subparagraphs (a) and (c) if such taxes would be imposed in any
event by the sale of the shares of Champion Spark Plug Company
by Seller to Buyer.
e) If Buyer makes an Indemnification Payment to Seller under clause
(a) or (c) and Seller is able to use permanently all or any
portion of the Mexican capital gains taxes which caused such
Indemnification Payment as a credit against United States taxes,
Buyer and Seller shall adjust the Indemnification Payment
downward by the amount of Mexican capital gains taxes so used.
Seller shall be deemed to have permanently used Mexican capital
gains taxes as United States credits only if, and to the extent
that, for all tax years Seller's United States federal income tax
(x), with credit for all or a portion of the Mexican capital
gains taxes taken as a credit, is less than (y) the United States
tax that would have been payable without said Mexican capital
gains taxes as credits. Both alternatives (x) and (y) shall take
into consideration applicable carryforwards and carrybacks of
foreign tax credits under the respective alternatives."
6. Unless otherwise defined herein, Capitalized terms have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement.
7. Except as amended by Sections 1 through 5 above, the Agreement remains in
full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this amendment
as of the date first written above.
