the Global Contracts:
(i) The Parties shall cooperate to provide to Intcomex or its designated
Affiliate the rights and benefits thereunder relating exclusively to the Business in
the Restricted Jurisdictions. To the extent that the Parties are unable prior to
the Closing Date either to (x) cause the applicable Global Contract Third Party to
such Global Contract to enter into a new Contract with Intcomex or its designated
Affiliate governing such rights and obligations with respect thereto (a “New
Contract”) or (y) otherwise cause a novation of such rights, benefits,
obligations and liabilities with respect thereto relating exclusively to the
Business in the Restricted Jurisdictions (a “Novation”), in either case,
effective as of the Closing Date, then from and after the Closing, the Parties shall
use commercially reasonable efforts for a reasonable period not to exceed twelve
(12) months commencing on the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”) to (x)
cause the applicable Global Contract Third Party to enter into a New Contract, or
(y) cause a Novation, and, until such time, shall provide to Intcomex or its
designated Affiliate, at the sole expense and liability of Intcomex, the rights and
benefits of such Global Contract during the Transition Period to the extent related
exclusively to the Business in the Restricted Jurisdictions; provided,
however, (1) that any arrangement made between or among the Parties or
Affiliates thereof pursuant to this Section 2.5(a)(i) in respect of a Global
Contract shall be on the same terms as those set forth in such Global Contract
exclusively in respect of the Business in the Restricted Jurisdictions, and (2) each
of the Parties shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees of any
attorneys, accountants, investment bankers or others engaged by such party) in
connection with the negotiation and execution of any New Contract or Novation under
this Section 2.5(a)(i) except that, in connection therewith, no Party shall be
obligated to pay any costs or other consideration to the applicable Global Contract
Third Party with respect to a New Contract or Novation, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to those Global Contracts set forth on
Schedule 2.5(a)(i) (the “Global Software Contracts”), the Parties
shall cooperate to enter into a mutually agreeable arrangement with the Global
Contract Third Party under each Global Software Contract to provide to Intcomex or
its designated Affiliate the rights and benefits thereunder relating exclusively to
the Business in the Restricted Jurisdictions for a reasonable period not to exceed
sixty (60) calendar days commencing on the Closing Date. Intcomex shall perform, at
its sole
expense and liability, on behalf of the BP Contract Parties and be liable for
the obligations and liabilities of the BP Contract Parties under the Global
Contracts to the extent related to the Business in the Restricted Jurisdictions, it
being acknowledged and agreed that Intcomex shall direct the applicable BP Contract
Party to place orders or otherwise act as its agent under the Global Contracts to
the extent related exclusively to the Business in the Restricted Jurisdictions, and
Intcomex shall pay all of the actual and direct costs and other charges associated
therewith on a pass-through basis prior to the due date thereof so as to avoid any
liability of any BP Contract Party in respect thereof plus a service charge of $250
per transaction to be paid by Intcomex to the applicable BP Contract Party.
19
(ii) In the event that Intcomex or a designated Affiliate thereof enters into a
New Contract or Novation in respect of a Global Contract, Intcomex agrees that the
applicable BP Contract Parties shall be released and discharged from any and all
obligations and liabilities (including any guaranty or similar arrangement) in
respect of such New Contract or Novation.
(b) Non-Assignable Contracts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, this Agreement will not constitute an agreement by the BP Asset Selling Entity to
assign any of the Company Agreements, or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or
resulting therefrom (collectively, the “Non-Assignable Contracts”) if an attempted
assignment thereof, without the consent of a third Person, would constitute a breach or other
contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Intcomex thereunder. Subject to
the provisions of Section 2.5(c) below, in the event that an attempted assignment of a Company
Agreement would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of the BP Asset Selling Entity
thereunder so that Intcomex or its designated Affiliate would not in fact receive all such rights,
the BP Asset Selling Entity shall use, and BPI shall cause the BP Asset Selling Entity to use, its
commercially reasonable efforts to provide Intcomex or its designated Affiliate the benefits
thereunder from and after the Closing Date. The BP Asset Selling Entity shall, and BPI shall cause
the BP Asset Selling Entity to, pay promptly to Intcomex or its designated Affiliate when received
all monies received, if any, by the BP Asset Selling Entity after the Closing Date with respect to
the period after the Closing Date under such Company Agreement or any claim or right or any benefit
arising thereunder to the extent that Intcomex or its designated Affiliate would be entitled
thereto pursuant hereto so long as Intcomex or its designated Affiliate is (x) not in breach of any
such Company Agreement and (y) satisfying the corresponding liabilities and performing the
corresponding obligations arising under such Company Agreement (excluding such liabilities and
obligations relating to the period prior to the Closing Date). Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.5(c) below, if and when any such consents in respect of Non-Assignable Contracts shall be
obtained, the BP Asset Selling Entity shall, and BPI shall cause the BP Asset Selling Entity to,
promptly assign or otherwise transfer their respective rights thereunder to Intcomex or its
designated Affiliate without the payment of additional consideration and Intcomex or its designated
Affiliate shall, without the payment of any additional consideration therefor, assume from and
after the date of such assignment or transfer the liabilities and obligations thereunder arising
exclusively from, and accruing exclusively with respect to, the period after such assignment or
transfer and assumption (other than obligations or liabilities thereunder arising as a result of
the breach thereof at or prior to such assignment or transfer and assumption). At such time as any
Non-Assignable Contract is
properly assigned or otherwise transferred to Intcomex or its designated Affiliate, such
Non-Assignable Contract shall cease to be a Non-Assignable Contract and become a Purchased Asset.
(c) Consents Covenant. As to any consent listed on Schedule 3.4(ii)
or Schedule 3.4(v) that is not a condition to Closing pursuant to in respect of a Company
Agreement ARTICLE VI or ARTICLE VII, BPI shall (and shall cause its respective Affiliates to) have
the continuing obligation for a reasonable period not to exceed twelve (12) months commencing on
the date hereof to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each such consent. In the
event a third Person requires payment in connection with any consent requested by BPI or an
Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Section 2.5(c), the payment obligations with respect thereto, if
any, shall be mutually agreed in good faith among the Parties.
20

Days prior to the Closing Date, BPI shall deliver to Intcomex a good faith estimate of the Working
Capital of the Business as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing

Capital, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with past practice and
prepared in accordance with the methodology used to prepare the example calculation of Working
Capital set forth on Schedule 1.1(xv) hereto (including the same line items). If the
Estimated Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Target Closing Date Working Capital, then the
Cash Consideration payable to Intcomex at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iv) shall be
decreased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to the amount by which the Estimated
Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Target Closing Date Working Capital (the “Preliminary
Working Capital Excess”). If the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is less than the
Target Closing Date Working Capital, then the Cash Consideration payable to Intcomex at the Closing
pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iv) shall be increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal
to the amount by which the Target Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Date
Working Capital (the “Preliminary Working Capital Shortfall,” and together with the
Preliminary Working Capital Excess, the “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment”).
(b) Final Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment.
(i) On or before the 60th calendar day after the Closing Date,
Intcomex or its designated agent shall prepare and deliver to BPI, in writing,
Intcomex’s calculation, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner
consistent with past practice and prepared in accordance with the methodology used
to prepare the example calculation of Working Capital set forth on Schedule
1.1(xv) hereto (including the same line items), of the Working Capital as of the
close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the
“Closing Date Working Capital”) and Intcomex’s proposed adjustment to the
Cash Consideration (as adjusted by any Estimated Working Capital Adjustment) (the
“Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment”), if any, based upon a statement
of the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Closing Date Working Capital
Statement”), prepared in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent
with past practice and prepared in accordance with the methodology used to prepare
the example calculation of Working Capital set forth on Schedule 1.1(xv)
hereto (including the same line items). Intcomex’s calculation of Closing Date
Working Capital and the Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment shall contain an
explanation in reasonable detail of the causes for the proposed adjustment, if any,
and shall have attached thereto reasonable support documentation. From and after
BPI’s receipt of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement until the Final
Determination Date (as defined below), Intcomex shall reasonably cooperate and
provide BPI and its advisors with timely access, during regular business hours, to
the employees and records of Intcomex and the work papers, trial balances and
similar materials used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Date
Working Capital Statement.
21
(ii) Following receipt of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and the
proposed Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment from Intcomex, BPI will be afforded
a period of twenty (20) calendar days (the “Review Period”) to review the
Closing Date Working Capital Statement and Intcomex’s proposed Closing Date Working
Capital Adjustment. At or before the end of the Review Period, BPI will either (A)
accept the Closing Date Working Capital and Intcomex’s proposed Closing Date Working
Capital Adjustment in its entirety, in which case such Closing Date Working Capital
will constitute the Final Closing Date Working Capital (as defined below) for
purposes of determining amounts to be paid from Intcomex to BPI or from BPI to
Intcomex pursuant to Section 2.6(e) below, as the case may be, or (B) deliver to
Intcomex a written notice (the “BPI Objection Notice”) containing BPI’s
calculation of Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Date Working Capital
Adjustment (if any), together with a reasonably detailed written explanation of
those items in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement which BPI disputes (the
“Disputed Items”), in which case the Disputed Items shall be deemed to be in
dispute and all other items in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be
deemed to have been agreed. The failure by BPI to deliver a BPI Objection Notice
within the Review Period shall constitute BPI’s acceptance of the Closing Date
Working Capital and the proposed Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment as proposed
by Intcomex in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement and such shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Parties and the Closing Date Working Capital as set
forth in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement will constitute the Final
Closing Date Working Capital for purposes of determining amounts to be paid from
Intcomex to BPI or from BPI to Intcomex pursuant to Section 2.6(e) below, as the
case may be. If BPI delivers a BPI Objection Notice in a timely manner, then,
within a further period of fifteen (15) calendar days from the delivery of the BPI
Objection Notice, each Party and, if desired by such Party, such Party’s accountants
and other advisors will attempt to resolve in good faith any Disputed Items and
reach a written agreement (the “Working Capital Settlement Agreement”) with
respect thereto. If the parties enter into a Working Capital Settlement Agreement,
the Closing Date Working Capital shall be deemed to be as agreed therein for
purposes of determining amounts to be paid from Intcomex to BPI or from BPI to
Intcomex pursuant to Section 2.6(e) below, as the case may be.
(c) Accountant Determination. Failing resolution by the Parties as contemplated by
Section 2.6(b) above, the Disputed Items will be referred by BPI or Intcomex, or both, for final
binding resolution to an independent registered public accounting firm as shall be mutually agreed
upon by BPI and Intcomex (the “Accountants”). If the Disputed Items are submitted to the
Accountants for resolution, each Party will furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other
documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Accountants may request and are
available to that Party (or its independent public accountants), and will be afforded the
opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the determination and to discuss
the determination with the Accountants. The determination by the Accountants (the “Accountants’
Determination”) shall be (i) deemed to be the Final Closing Date Working Capital for purposes
of determining amounts to be paid from Intcomex to BPI or from BPI to Intcomex pursuant to Section
2.6(e) below, as the case may be; (ii) furnished to BPI
22
and Intcomex as soon as practicable after the Disputed Items have been referred to the
Accountants (provided that the parties shall direct the Accountants to deliver the Accountants’
Determination not later than the 30th calendar day following the Accountants’ acceptance
of its engagement to make the Accountants’ Determination), (iii) made in accordance with GAAP
applied in a manner consistent with past practice, and (iv) nonappealable and incontestable by BPI,
Intcomex and each of their respective Affiliates and successors and not subject to collateral
attack for any reason, other than a mathematical error of the Accountants which may be cured only
by the Accountants within seven calendar days following their delivery of the Accountants’
Determination. The determination of the Disputed Items with respect to the Closing Date Working
Capital by the Accountants shall be based on whether such Disputed Items have been calculated in
accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with past practice and prepared in accordance
with the methodology used to prepare the example calculation of Working Capital set forth on
Schedule 1.1(xv) hereto (including the same line items), and the Accountants are not to
make any other determination (other than with respect to mathematical errors in the Closing Date
Working Capital Statement). The Accountants shall not assign a value to any item greater than the
greatest value for such item claimed by BPI or Intcomex or less than the smallest value for such
item claimed by BPI or Intcomex and shall be limited to the selection of either BPI’s or Intcomex’s
position on a Disputed Item (or a position in between the positions of BPI and Intcomex). The
Accountants shall not impose an alternative resolution outside the bounds set in the preceding
sentence.
(d) Fees and Expenses of the Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Accountants in
connection with resolving any Disputed Item (including attorneys’, accountants’, investigators’ and
other professional fees) shall be paid pro rata by each Party in relation to the proportional
difference between the Accountants’ final determination of the Disputed Items in connection with
the Closing Date Working Capital and the Final Closing Date Working Capital as specified by the
Accountants’ Determination. Such fees and expenses shall be paid by BPI and Intcomex to the
Accountants within 10 calendar days of the Final Determination Date, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Accountants. For purposes
hereof, the “Final Determination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (A) the date on
which BPI accepts Intcomex’s determination of the Closing Date Working Capital and Intcomex’s
proposed Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment in its entirety, (B) the 21st calendar
day following the receipt by BPI of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement if BPI shall have
failed to deliver the BPI Objection Notice to Intcomex within the Review Period, (C) the date on
which BPI and Intcomex execute a Working Capital Settlement Agreement, or (D) the 8th
calendar day (or if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or any day which is a legal holiday under
the laws of the State of New York, the next Business Day) after the date on which BPI and Intcomex
both shall have received the Accountants’ Determination in writing other than in the event of an
assertion by either Party that the Accountants have made a mathematical error, in which case such
period shall be extended for such time as is required to rectify such mathematical error and the
Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accountants to rectify such
mathematical error as soon as practicable.
(e) Adjustment with Respect to Final Closing Date Working Capital. For purposes of
this Agreement, the “Final Closing Date Working Capital” shall mean the Closing Date
Working Capital as determined by (i) Section 2.6(b)(ii)(A), (ii) the Closing Date Working
23
Capital Statement in the event that BPI fails to deliver a BPI Objection Notice within the
Review Period, (iii) a Working Capital Settlement Agreement, or (iv) the Accountants’
Determination. If the Final Closing Date Working Capital has been determined to be less than the
Estimated Closing Date Working Capital (the amount of such deficit, being referred to herein as the
“Shortfall Amount”), then within ten (10) calendar days after the Final Determination Date,
BPLA shall pay to Intcomex an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount. If the Final Closing Date
Working Capital has been determined to be more than the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital (the
amount of such excess, being referred to herein as the “Overpayment Amount”), then within
ten (10) calendar days after the Final Determination Date, Intcomex shall pay to BPLA an amount
equal to the Overpayment Amount. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated in writing by the applicable receiving Party.
2.7 Allocation of Consideration. The allocation of the purchase price among the
Purchased Assets, the Purchased Equity Interests, the Purchased Intcomex Stock and the
non-competition provisions in Section 9.5 shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.7. The
Parties covenant and agree that such allocation of the purchase price shall be conclusive and final
for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise required by applicable law. BPI, the BP
Selling Entities and Intcomex will report the federal, state and local income and other Tax
consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with such
allocation and cooperate in the preparation and filing of IRS Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the
Code (or any successor form or successor provision of any future Tax law, or any comparable
provisions of state, or local Tax law), with their respective federal, state and local income Tax
returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF BPI AND THE BP SELLING ENTITIES
OF BPI AND THE BP SELLING ENTITIES
BPI and each of the BP Selling Entities, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant
to Intcomex as follows:
3.1 Organization and Good Standing.
(a) Each of BPI, the BP Selling Entities and the Purchased Subsidiaries is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has
the organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate the properties used in its
business and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of BPI, the BP Asset Selling
Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries has previously delivered to Intcomex complete and correct
copies of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws or articles of organization and operating
agreement (or equivalent organizational documents with different names), as the case may be, as
presently in effect.
(b) All of the issued and outstanding Purchased Equity Interests are owned beneficially and of
record by the BP Selling Entities, free and clear of any Liens (except for Permitted Liens) and the
BP Selling Entities will transfer and deliver to Intcomex (or a
24
designated Affiliate thereof) at the Closing valid title to the Purchased Equity Interests
free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Schedule 3.1(b) annexed hereto
sets forth the authorized and outstanding Purchased Equity Interests and the holder of the
Purchased Equity Interests together with the number or percentage of such Purchased Equity
Interests held by such Persons. All of the issued and outstanding Purchased Equity Interests have
been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. There are no outstanding (i)
securities of the Purchased Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital
stock or voting securities of the Purchased Subsidiaries or (ii) options or other rights to acquire
from any of the Purchased Subsidiaries, or other obligation of the Purchased Subsidiaries to issue,
any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital
stock or voting securities of the Purchased Subsidiaries. None of the Purchased Equity Interests
have been issued in violation of, and none are subject to, any purchase option, call, right of
first refusal, preemptive, subscription, or other similar right. The BP Selling Entities are not a
party to any arrangement granting to any Person any stock appreciation, phantom stock or other
similar right with respect to the Purchased Equity Interests.
(c) Neither of the Purchased Subsidiaries has any Subsidiaries and does not own or have any
right to acquire any equity interest in any other Person. BPLA is and will be on the Closing Date
the sole record and beneficial owner and holder of all equity interests in BP Colombia Limited. BP
Colombia Limited is and will be on the Closing Date the sole record and beneficial owner of BP
Colombia. BPLA and BPIL are and will be on the Closing Date the sole record and beneficial owners
and holders of all equity interests in BP Guatemala.
3.2 Capitalization. On the date hereof, the authorized capital of BP Colombia Limited
consists of 50,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which 100
shares are issued and outstanding and 49,900 of which remain unissued. On the date hereof, the
authorized capital of BP Guatemala consists of 50 authorized shares of common stock, par value 100
GTQ (Quetzales) per share, of which 50 shares are issued and outstanding and none of which remain
unissued. Schedule 3.2 attached hereto accurately discloses the outstanding capital stock
of BP Colombia Limited and BP Guatemala and all outstanding options, warrants, convertible notes,
or any other rights or instruments which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire shares of BP
Colombia Limited or BP Guatemala or other equity interests in BP Colombia Limited or BP Guatemala
upon conversion or exercise. Other than as disclosed in Schedule 3.2, there are no
outstanding rights, agreements, arrangements or understandings to which any BP Party is a party
(written or oral) which would obligate either Purchased Subsidiary to issue any equity interest,
option, warrant, convertible note, or other types of securities or to register any shares in a
registration statement filed with the SEC.
25
3.3 Business Assets; Title.
(a) Schedule 3.3(a) lists all items of (i) Business Inventory, and (ii) other tangible
personal property of every kind or description owned by the BP Asset Selling Entity or the
Purchased Subsidiaries that are a part of the Business Assets and have a current net book value in
excess of $5,000 per item. All of the Business Assets of any kind or description that are tangible
assets are in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and suitable in
all material respects for their current use. The tangible assets subject to any Company Agreement
are in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(b) BP Colombia Limited’s sole asset is BP Colombia. Except for the applicable Excluded
Assets, the Business Assets constitute all the assets, properties and rights owned, used, or held
for use in connection with, or that are otherwise required for the conduct of, the Business as
currently conducted on the date of this Agreement. Other than the applicable Excluded Assets and
the Business Assets, there are no assets owned, used or held for use by any of BPI, the BP Selling
Entities or the Purchased Subsidiaries in connection with, or otherwise required, in connection
with the Business as currently conducted. The BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, have good and marketable title to, or hold by valid and existing
leases or licenses for, all of the Business Assets free and clear of all Liens, except for
Permitted Liens. None of BPI, the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased Subsidiaries, as the
case may be, has signed any financing statement under the UCC (or similar foreign regulations) or
any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such financing
statement with respect to any of the Business Assets. At the Closing, the BP Asset Selling Entity
is conveying to Intcomex good and marketable title to all of the Purchased Assets owned by it
(other than the Excluded Assets, including the Non-Assignable Contracts and Global Contracts), free
and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.
3.4 Authority, Approvals and Consents. Each of BPI and the BP Selling Entities has
the organizational power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized and
approved by the Board of Directors or similar governing body of BPI and the BP Selling Entities and
no other organizational proceedings on the part of BPI or the BP Selling Entities are necessary to
authorize and approve this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by, and
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of, each of BPI and the BP Selling Entities enforceable
against each of them in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally or by the principles governing the availability of equitable remedies). The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by BPI and the BP Selling Entities and the
other Transaction Documents to which any of them is a party and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not:
26
(i) contravene any provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of
BPI or the BP Selling Entities (or equivalent documents with different names);
(ii) except as set forth in Schedule 3.4(ii), (after notice or lapse of
time or both) conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of, constitute a
default under, result in the modification or cancellation of, or give rise to any
right of termination or acceleration in respect of, any Contract set forth on
Schedule 3.13(a) or, require any consent or waiver of any third Person to a
Contract set forth on Schedule 3.13(a);
(iii) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon, or
any Person obtaining any right to acquire, the Business Assets or the Purchased
Equity Interests;
(iv) violate or conflict with any Legal Requirements applicable to BPI, any of
the BP Selling Entities, any of the Business Assets or any of the Purchased Equity
Interests; or
(v) except as set forth in Schedule 3.4(v), require any authorization,
consent, order, permit or approval of, or notice to, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any Governmental Body or any third Person under any Contract set
forth on Schedule 3.13(a).
Except as set forth in Schedule 3.4(v), no authorization, consent, order, permit or
approval of, or notice to, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Body or
any third Person consents is necessary to be obtained or made by BPI or any of the BP Selling
Entities to enable Intcomex, Intcomex Colombia, Intcomex Guatemala or other designated Intcomex
Affiliates to continue to conduct the Business and use the Business Assets after the Closing in a
manner which is in all material respects consistent with that in which the Business is presently
conducted and the Business Assets are presently used by the BP Asset Selling Entity and the
Purchased Subsidiaries, as applicable.
3.5 Financial Statements.
(a) Attached hereto as Schedule 3.5 are true and complete copies of:
(i) the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31 for each of the years 2008
through 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flow and
stockholders’ equity for the fiscal years ended on such dates, in each case, for the
BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries, and
(ii) the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and the
consolidated reported statements of income for the twelve-month period ended on such
date, in each case, for the BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries
(the “Most Recent BP Financial Statements”);
27
(all the foregoing financial statements, including the notes thereto, are referred to herein
collectively as the “BP Financial Statements”).
(b) The BP Financial Statements are in accordance with the regularly maintained books and
records of the BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries and present fairly in all
material respects the financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and changes

may be, as of the dates and for the periods indicated, in each case, in accordance with GAAP
applied in a manner consistent with past practice and on a consistent basis throughout the periods
covered thereby; provided, however, that the Most Recent BP Financial Statements lack
footnotes, normal year-end reclassifications, adjustments and other presentation items, which, in
the aggregate, are not material in amount. The BP Financial Statements do not reflect any write-up
or revaluation increasing the book value of any assets. The books and accounts of the BP Asset
Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries are complete and correct in all material respects and
fully and fairly reflect all of the transactions of the BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased
Subsidiaries.
(c) Each of the BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries maintains a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are

recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.
3.6 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6,
none of the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased Subsidiaries has any liability of any nature
whatsoever (whether known or unknown, due or to become due, accrued, absolute, contingent or
otherwise) including, any unfunded obligation under employee benefit plans or arrangements or
liabilities for Taxes, except for (i) liabilities reflected or reserved against in the balance
sheet as of December 31, 2010 (the “BP Balance Sheet Date”) included in the Most Recent BP
Financial Statements (the “BP Balance Sheet”) and (ii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business and consistent with past practice after the BP Balance Sheet Date which,
individually and in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the
Business or the Business Assets.
3.7 Absence of Material Adverse Effect; Conduct of Business. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.7, since the BP Balance Sheet Date, there has been no Material Adverse Effect
with respect to the Business. Without limiting the foregoing, except as set forth on Schedule
3.7 hereto, since the BP Balance Sheet Date, there has not been, occurred or arisen:
(i) any damage, destruction or loss to the Business Assets (whether or not
covered by insurance) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Business;
28
(ii) any material change in any (i) accounting principle or method used for
financial reporting purposes by any of the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased
Subsidiaries except as expressly disclosed in the BP Financial Statements or (ii)
election for federal income tax purposes used by any of the BP Asset Selling Entity

Entity or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries in connection with the Business or the
Business Assets other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
past practice;

bylaws or articles of organization and operating agreement (or equivalent
organizational documents with different names) of any of the BP Selling Entities or
the Purchased Subsidiaries, as the case may be;
(v) any sale or other disposition of any right, title or interest in or to any
Business Assets (other than sales of Business Inventory in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practice) having an aggregate value in excess of
$25,000;
(vi) (x) any approval or action to put into effect any material increase in any
compensation or benefits payable to any class or group of employees of the Business,
any material increase in the compensation payable or to become payable to any of the
directors, officers or employees of the BP Asset Selling Entity or any of the
Purchased Subsidiaries whose total compensation after such increase would exceed
$50,000 per annum (collectively, “Executive Employees”) or any bonus (other
than discretionary bonuses paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice), service award, percentage compensation or other benefit paid,
granted or accrued to or for the benefit of any Executive Employee, or (y) the
adoption or amendment in any material respect of any severance agreement to which
any Executive Employee is a party;
(vii) any creation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness for money
borrowed in excess of $10,000 by any of the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased
Subsidiaries;
(viii) any capital expenditures made by any of the BP Asset Selling Entity or
the Purchased Subsidiaries in excess of $50,000; or
(ix) any authorization, approval, agreement or commitment to do any of the
foregoing.
3.8 Taxes.
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8(a), the Purchased Subsidiaries (which, for
purposes of this Section 3.8, shall include any predecessor of the Purchased Subsidiaries) have
filed or caused to be filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns that are or were required to be
29
filed by or with respect to them, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements (taking into
account all applicable extensions). BPI has delivered to Intcomex copies of all such Tax Returns
filed by the Purchased Subsidiaries since January 1, 2008. Each of the Purchased Subsidiaries has
paid all Taxes that have or may have become due pursuant to those Tax Returns or otherwise, or
pursuant to any assessment received by any of the Purchased Subsidiaries, except such Taxes, if
any, as are listed on Schedule 3.8(a).
(b) Except as described in Schedule 3.8(b): (i) no Tax Returns of any of the Purchased
Subsidiaries have been audited by the IRS or any applicable state or foreign tax authorities; (ii)
there are no pending, proposed, or to the Knowledge of the BP Parties, threatened, audits, Claims,
assessments or deficiencies, asserted with respect to Taxes of the Purchased Subsidiaries; and
(iii) none of the Purchased Subsidiaries has given or been requested to give waivers or extensions
(or is or would be subject to a waiver or extension given by any other Person) of any statute of
limitations relating to the payment of Taxes for which any of the Purchased Subsidiaries may be
liable.
(c) The charges, accruals, and reserves with respect to Taxes on the books of the Purchased
Subsidiaries are adequate (determined in accordance with GAAP) and are at least equal to their
respective liabilities for Taxes. There exists no proposed tax assessment against the Purchased
Subsidiaries except as disclosed in the Most Recent BP Financial Statements, and all Taxes that
any of the Purchased Subsidiaries is or was required by Legal Requirements to withhold or collect
have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper
Governmental Body or other Person.
(d) All Tax Returns filed by the Purchased Subsidiaries are true, correct, and complete. None
of the Purchased Subsidiaries has any liability under any tax sharing agreement or tax indemnity
agreement nor are any of them otherwise liable for taxes of any other Person pursuant to a tax
indemnity agreement or otherwise.
(e) Except as described in Schedule 3.8(e), none of the Purchased Subsidiaries is or
has been engaged in a trade or business in the United States and neither is or has been subject to
U.S. federal income taxation.

made as a result of any examination of Tax Returns of the Purchased Subsidiaries have been paid in

3.9 Legal Matters.
(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.9, (i) there is no claim, action, suit,
litigation, investigation, inquiry, review or proceeding (collectively, “Claims”) pending
or, to the Knowledge of any of the BP Parties, threatened, against or affecting any employee of the
Business, any employee benefit plan or any of their respective properties or rights before or by
any court, arbitrator, panel, agency or other governmental, administrative, self-regulatory
organization or judicial entity with respect to the Business or the Business Assets, and (ii) none
of the BP Selling Entities or the Purchased Subsidiaries is subject to any judgment, decree, writ,
injunction, ruling or order (collectively, “Judgments”) of any Governmental Body.
Schedule 3.9
30
identifies each Claim and Judgment disclosed thereon, whether or not it is fully covered by an
insurance policy and whether or not it could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect with respect to the Business or the Business Assets.
(b) The Business is being conducted in compliance in all material respects with all Legal
Requirements applicable to its employees, the Business and the Business Assets. The BP Asset
Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries hold, and are in compliance in all material respects
with, all franchises, licenses, permits, registrations, certificates, consents, approvals or
authorizations (collectively, “Permits”) required by all applicable Legal Requirements for
the conduct of the Business and the operation of the Business Assets as currently conducted.
(c) The BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries collectively own or hold all
Permits material to the conduct of the Business and the Business Assets. No event has occurred and
is continuing which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, any
modification or termination of any Permits which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect with respect to the Business or the Business Assets.
(d) No BP Party (i) has received any written or oral notice asserting any material
noncompliance with any Legal Requirement or Permit pertaining to the Business, the Business Assets,
the Purchased Equity Interests or the Assumed Liabilities, (ii) is subject to any Legal Requirement
which if enforced against or complied with by BPI or the BP Selling Entities could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Business or the Business Assets, and
(iii) has any Knowledge of (A) any Legal Requirement proposed which, if effective, could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Business, and (B) any
Governmental Body that has indicated any intention to initiate any investigation, inquiry or review
involving any of the BP Selling Entities or the Purchased Subsidiaries, their employees, any
employee benefit plan, the Business or any of the Business Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no representation or warranty is made under this Section 3.9 in respect of any environmental
matters which are addressed in Section 3.10(d) (as to which no representation or warranty is made
except as set forth in Section 3.10(d)).
3.10 Property.
(a) None of the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased Subsidiaries owns any real property
or holds any option to acquire any real property.
(b) Schedule 3.10(b) lists all Real Property Leases used in connection with the
Business, true and complete copies of which have been provided to Intcomex prior to the date of
this Agreement. Neither Purchased Subsidiary has entered into any subleases of any of the Real
Property Leases. The Purchased Subsidiaries have the right to quiet enjoyment for the full term of
said Real Property Leases. The Real Property Leases are in full force and effect in all material
respects, subject only to Liens that do not interfere with the present uses of the properties in
respect thereof, and neither Purchased Subsidiary and, to the Knowledge of any of the BP Parties,
no other party to the Real Property Leases is in breach thereunder.
31
(c) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.10(c), none of the BP Asset Selling Entity or
the Purchased Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any lease or similar agreement under which the
BP Asset Selling Entity or a Purchased Subsidiary is lessee of, or holds or operates, any real
property owned by any third Person and used in or relating to the Business and which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Business or the
Business Assets.
(d) The Purchased Assets owned or leased by the BP Asset Selling Entity and the assets owned
or leased by the Purchased Subsidiaries conform in all material respects with all applicable Legal
Requirements. The present use of the Business Assets conforms in all material respects with all
applicable Legal Requirements and all certificates and permits necessary for the lawful use thereof
have been issued and are presently in full force and effect. All notices of violations of Legal
Requirements issued by any state, county, municipal or local department having jurisdiction against
or affecting any of the Business Assets have been complied with in all material respects. None of
the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased Subsidiaries generates or otherwise owns or possesses,
stores, treats, disposes of or transports any “hazardous substances” (as defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Responses, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980) or the regulations
promulgated thereunder or any other hazardous substance (as defined in any similar state or local
law or the regulations promulgated thereunder) or has at any time generated or otherwise owned or
possessed, stored, treated, disposed of or transported any such hazardous substance which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Business or the
Business Assets.
3.11 Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable which are included in the Business
Assets reflected on the BP Balance Sheet or arising since the BP Balance Sheet Date represent bona
fide amounts owed for products previously delivered or services previously rendered, and none of
such accounts receivable represent a billing for products or services not yet delivered or
rendered. All of the accounts receivable which are included in the Business Assets are
valid receivables and are current and, to the BP Parties’ Knowledge, are collectible (consistent
with past collections experience of the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased Subsidiaries, as
applicable), without resort to litigation or extraordinary collection activity, within ninety (90)
calendar days of the Closing Date. To the BP Parties’ Knowledge, none of the BP Asset Selling
Entity or the Purchased Subsidiaries has received any written notice from an account debtor stating
that any account receivable in excess of $50,000 is subject to any defense, setoff or counterclaim
by such account debtor other than returns in the ordinary course of their business and subject to
the recorded allowance for collection losses shown on the BP Balance Sheet Date. Except to the
extent reserved against or reflected on the BP Financial Statements, to the Knowledge of the BP
Parties, there is no reason why the accounts receivable of the BP Asset Selling Entity and the
Purchased Subsidiaries would not be collectible in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice. The allowance for collection losses shown on the BP Balance Sheet has been
determined in accordance with GAAP consistent with past practice. Set forth on Schedule

Purchased Subsidiaries with respect to the Business as of December 31, 2010 including the aging

32
Assets. All such policies are in full force and effect, all premiums with respect thereto
have been paid to the extent due, and no written notice of cancellation, termination or non-renewal
has been received by any of the BP Parties with respect to any such policy. True and complete
copies of all such policies have been previously furnished to Intcomex.

Subsidiaries own all right, title and interest in and to, or have a valid license to use (if

Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries in the Business and are entitled to use such Intellectual
Property in the operation of the Business as currently conducted to the extent such use is material

right, whether through or under any Contract, in either case, that (i) (A) involves (x) any
exclusive rights in the Intellectual Property licensed thereunder or (y) payments to or by any of
the BP Asset Selling Entity or the Purchased Subsidiaries of fees, royalties or other amounts that
exceed $75,000 per annum in the aggregate or (B) has a remaining term of twelve (12) months or

used by the Business is subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling or
charge against any BP Party of which any BP Party has received notice.
39
(e) There are no claims asserted or threatened by any BP Party that a third Person infringes
on or otherwise violates any rights in or to any Intellectual Property in use by the Business. To
the Knowledge of the BP Parties, no third party is misappropriating, infringing or violating for a
non-commercial, personal or any other purpose any Intellectual Property owned by, used by, or
exclusively licensed to the Business.
(f) The BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries are in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements regarding the reception, collection, use,
interception, importation or exportation of personal data and with their respective published
privacy policies and other terms of use or business applicable to personal data collected from
users of any websites operated by any of them. To the Knowledge of the BP Parties, no third Person
has gained unauthorized access to any such personal data.
(g) The Intellectual Property included in the Purchased Assets and owned by the Purchased
Subsidiaries, together with the rights granted by the BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased
Subsidiaries under the License Agreement, are sufficient (subject to, and to the extent of, the
matters expressly disclosed on Schedule 3.21(g)), for the conduct of the Business as
currently conducted in every jurisdiction where it is conducted as of the date hereof in all
material respects, and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of any
transaction contemplated hereby will materially adversely affect any of the rights of the BP Asset
Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries with respect to the Intellectual Property owned by
them or Material Third Party Intellectual Property licensed by or to them, including, without
limitation, the ability of the Business to continue to use all such Material Third Party
Intellectual Property as currently used after the Closing Date, except as set forth in Schedule
3.21(g).
(h) The computer systems, including the Software, hardware, firmware, middleware, servers,
workstations, routers, and all data communications and other information technology equipment
currently used in the conduct of the Business operate and function in all material respects in
accordance with their operation and performance prior to the date hereof and are sufficient in all
material respects for the use of such computer systems by the Business, as currently conducted,
after the Closing Date. The BP Asset Selling Entity and the Purchased Subsidiaries have implemented
reasonable security controls to prevent unauthorized access to or interference with the computer
systems.

there are no outstanding loans, leases or other Contracts between any of the BP Asset Selling

Business in the ordinary course of business.

Purchased Equity Interests or the Assumed Liabilities and neither BPI nor any of the BP Selling

Business Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. No fact, event, condition or
contingency exists or has occurred which has, or in the future can reasonably be expected to have,
a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Business, which has not been disclosed in the BP
Financial Statements or the Schedules to this Agreement.

and the other Transaction Documents.
(h) Legal Counsel. BPLA acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the exhibits and the schedules attached hereto and

4.2 Intcomex Investor Representations. Intcomex hereby represents and warrants
to BPI as follows:
(a) Qualified Investor. Intcomex has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in
business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment in the Purchased Equity Interests, including the risk that Intcomex could lose the
entire value of the Purchased Equity Interests, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such
purchase. Intcomex is experienced in making investments of the kind described herein and is able
to bear the economic and financial risk of purchasing the Purchased Equity Interests. Intcomex is
an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Intcomex also represents it has
not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Purchased Equity Interests.
(b) Restricted Securities. Intcomex understands that the Purchased Equity Interests
are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act inasmuch as
they are being acquired from Intcomex in a transaction not involving a public offering and that
under the Securities Act and applicable regulations, the Purchased Equity Interests may be resold
without registration, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Intcomex
represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. All subsequent offers and sales by Intcomex
of the Purchased Equity Interests shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration.
(c) Reliance on Representations. Intcomex understands that the Purchased Equity
Interests are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal securities laws, and that BPI is relying upon the
truthfulness and accuracy of Intcomex’s representations and warranties, and Intcomex’s compliance
with its covenants and agreements, as applicable, each as set forth herein, in order to determine
the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Intcomex to acquire the Purchased Equity
Interests.
(d) Investment Intent. Intcomex is acquiring the Purchased Equity Interests for
investment for Intcomex’s own benefit and account for investment purposes only, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with the view to, or for resale or distribution of any part thereof in connection
with, any public offering or distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing any such Purchased Equity Interests.
Intcomex further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person, with respect
to any of the Purchased Equity Interests. Intcomex is aware of the limits on resale imposed by
virtue of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and is aware that the certificates for the
Purchased Equity Interests will bear restrictive legends.
(e) Access to and Evaluation of Information Concerning the Purchased Subsidiaries.
Intcomex has been given access to and an opportunity to examine such documents, materials and
information concerning the Purchased Subsidiaries as Intcomex deems to be necessary or advisable in
order to reach an informed decision as to an investment in the Purchased Subsidiaries and Intcomex
has carefully reviewed and understands these materials and
43
has had answered to its full satisfaction any and all questions regarding such information.
Intcomex has made such independent investigation of the Purchased Subsidiaries, their respective
management, and related matters as Intcomex deems to be necessary or advisable in connection with
the purchase of the Purchased Equity Interests.
(f) General Solicitation. Intcomex has not been offered the Purchased Equity Interests
by any means of general solicitation or general advertising.
(g) Tax Advisors. Intcomex has reviewed with its own tax advisors the federal, state
and local tax consequences of the investment in the Purchased Equity Interests, where applicable,
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Except for
the representations set forth in Section 3.8, Intcomex is relying solely on such advisors and not
on any statements or representations of BPI or any of its agents and understands that it (and not
BPI) shall be responsible for Intcomex’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(h) Legal Counsel. Intcomex acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review
this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the exhibits and the schedules attached hereto and
thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby with its own legal counsel. Intcomex
is relying solely on such legal counsel and not on any statements or representations of BPI or any
of BPI’s agents, including but not limited to Blank Rome LLP, for legal advice with respect to the
investment in the Purchased Equity Interests or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INTCOMEX AND THE OTHER INTCOMEX PARTIES
Intcomex and each of the other Intcomex Parties, jointly and severally, hereby represent and
warrant to BPI and the BP Selling Entities as follows:
5.1 Organization and Good Standing. Each of Intcomex and the other Intcomex Parties
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its

equivalent organizational documents with different names), as the case may be, as presently in
effect. A list of the Subsidiaries of Intcomex along with their jurisdiction of incorporation or
formation is set forth on Schedule 5.1. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.1,
Intcomex does not have any Subsidiaries and does not own or have any right to acquire any equity
interest in any other Person. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.1, Intcomex is and will be
on the Closing Date the sole record and beneficial owner and holder of all equity interests in such
Subsidiaries.
44
5.2 Title to Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.2, Intcomex and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold or rental interest in, the
tangible properties and assets they purport to own or lease, or shown on the Most Recent Intcomex
Balance Sheet or acquired, rented or leased after the date thereof, free and clear of all Liens,
except for properties and assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice since the date of the Most Recent Intcomex Balance Sheet. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.2, Intcomex and its Subsidiaries own or have valid rights to use, free and clear
of all Liens, all of the assets used in the conduct of their respective businesses. Such assets are
sufficient for Intcomex and its Subsidiaries to continue to operate their respective businesses in
the same manner as it is currently conducted.
5.3 Authority, Approvals and Consents. Intcomex and the Intcomex Parties have the
organizational power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which they are a party and to perform their obligations hereunder and thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized and
approved by the board of directors or similar governing body of Intcomex and the other Intcomex
Parties and no other organizational proceedings on the part of Intcomex and the other Intcomex
Parties are necessary to authorize and approve this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Intcomex and the other Intcomex Parties, and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of Intcomex and the other Intcomex Parties, enforceable against each of them in
accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by
the principles governing the availability of equitable remedies). The execution, delivery and
performance by Intcomex and the other Intcomex Parties of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which any of them is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby do not and will not:
(a) contravene any provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Intcomex or
the Intcomex Parties (or equivalent documents with different names);
(b) (after notice or lapse of time or both) conflict with, result in a breach of any provision
of, constitute a default under, result in the modification or cancellation of, or give rise to any
right of termination or acceleration in respect of, any material Contract to which Intcomex or any
other Intcomex Party is a party to or to which Intcomex or any other Intcomex Party or any of
Intcomex’s or other Intcomex Party’s property is subject, or require any consent or waiver (other
than as set forth in Schedule 5.3(b)), of any third Person to any such Contract;
(c) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon, or any Person
obtaining any right to acquire, any assets of Intcomex or any of its Subsidiaries, including the
Purchased Intcomex Stock;
(d) violate or conflict with any Legal Requirements applicable to Intcomex or any of its
Subsidiaries or the businesses or properties thereof; or
45
(e) require any authorization, consent, order, permit or approval of, or notice to, or filing,
registration or qualification (other than as set forth in Schedule 5.3(e)) with, any
Governmental Body or any third Person under any material Contract to which Intcomex or any other
Intcomex Party is a party to or to which Intcomex or any other Intcomex Party or any of Intcomex’s
or other Intcomex Party’s property is subject.
5.4 Capitalization. On the date hereof, the authorized capital of Intcomex consists
of: (i) 140,000 shares of Intcomex Common Stock, of which 100,000 shares are issued and outstanding
and (ii) 60,000 shares of Class B, non-voting Intcomex Common Stock, 29,357 of which are issued and
outstanding. In addition, Intcomex has outstanding restricted stock awards, warrants and options
to purchase an aggregate of 1,714 shares of Intcomex Common Stock. Schedule 5.4 attached
hereto accurately discloses the outstanding capital stock of Intcomex and all outstanding options,
warrants, convertible notes, or any other rights or instruments which would entitle the holder
thereof to acquire shares of Intcomex Common Stock or other equity interests in Intcomex upon
conversion or exercise, setting forth for each such holder the type of security, number of equity
shares covered thereunder, the exercise or conversion price thereof, the vesting schedule thereof
(if any), and the issuance date and expiration date thereof. Other than as disclosed in
Schedule 5.4, there are no outstanding rights, agreements, arrangements or understandings
to which Intcomex is a party (written or oral) which would obligate Intcomex to issue any equity
interest, option, warrant, convertible note, or other types of securities or to register any shares
in a registration statement filed with the SEC. Other than as disclosed in Schedule 5.4,
there is no agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among any entities or individuals
which affects, restricts or relates to voting, giving of written consents, dividend rights or
transferability of shares with respect to any voting shares of Intcomex, including without
limitation any voting trust agreement or proxy. Schedule 5.4 accurately discloses all the
shares subject to “lock-up” or similar agreements or arrangements by which any equity shares are
subject to resale restrictions and Intcomex has provided BPI complete and accurate copies of all
such agreements, which agreements are in full force and effect. Except as set forth in
Schedule 5.4, there are no outstanding obligations of Intcomex to repurchase, redeem or
otherwise acquire for value any outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of
Intcomex or to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution
or otherwise) in any other entity. There are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions
regarding any security issued by Intcomex (or in any agreement providing rights to security
holders) that will be triggered by the issuance of the Purchased Intcomex Stock.
5.5 Validity of Securities. The Purchased Intcomex Stock that is being purchased by
BPI hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered to BPI in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable, free of any Liens, except for restrictions on transfer provided for in the Fifth
Amendment or under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws, and will not subject the
holder thereof to personal liability by reason of being such a holder. The 38,769 shares of
Intcomex Common Stock being purchased hereunder will constitute approximately 23% of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Intcomex immediately following the Closing.
5.6 Private Offering. Assuming the truth and accuracy of BPI’s representations and
warranties set forth in ARTICLE IV hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the Purchased Intcomex
Stock as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the
46
Securities Act. Intcomex agrees that neither Intcomex nor anyone acting on its behalf will
offer any of the Purchased Intcomex Stock or solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from
anyone so as to render the issuance and sale of such Purchased Intcomex Stock subject to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. Intcomex has not offered or sold the Purchased
Intcomex Stock by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, as such terms are used
in Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.

on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period
ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than the Taxes based upon or
related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending
on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable
period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal
to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. For
purposes of this Section 9.19(c), in the case of any Tax credit relating to a taxable period that
begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax credit which relates to the
portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount which bears the same

authority, and (B) give all parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or
discarding any such books and records and, if any other party so requests, shall allow such other
party to take possession of such books and records. BPI and Intcomex further agree, upon request,
to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any
Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax
that could be imposed.

such notice. Intcomex and BPI shall jointly control the conduct of any Tax audits or other
proceedings relating to Taxes for a Straddle Tax Period, and neither party shall settle any such
Tax audit or other proceeding without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Intcomex shall have the right to control all other Tax
audits or proceedings of the Purchased Subsidiaries, as applicable. Intcomex shall obtain the
prior written consent of BPI prior to the settlement of any such proceedings that could reasonably
be expected to increase the Tax liability of the Purchased Subsidiaries, as applicable, for a
Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Intcomex and the Purchased Subsidiaries, as
applicable, shall execute and deliver to BPI such powers of attorney and other documents as may be
necessary or appropriate to give effect to the foregoing.
9.20 Settlement of Certain Intercompany Transactions. At or prior to the Closing, BPI
shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, eliminate, release, transfer, terminate or settle, to
the reasonable satisfaction of Intcomex, all intercompany receivables and payables between BPLA
64
and
the Purchased Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and BPI and any other Subsidiaries thereof, on the
other hand.
ARTICLE X
SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in
this Agreement or in any Transaction Document shall survive (and not be affected in any respect by)
the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in or
made pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document and the related indemnity obligations
set forth in Section 10.2 below, as the case may be, shall terminate on, and no claim or action
with respect thereto may be brought after, the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing
Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4,
5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.12 (the “Special Representations”) and the related indemnity
obligations contained in Section 10.2 shall survive indefinitely, (ii) the obligations set forth in
Section 2.5(a)(ii) and the related indemnity obligations contained in Section 10.2 shall survive
indefinitely, and (iii) the obligations contained in Section 3.8 shall survive until six months
after the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which the Taxes that
are subject of such obligations relate. The representations and warranties which terminate on the
date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date or six months after the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations, and the liability of any Party with respect thereto pursuant to
this ARTICLE X shall not terminate with respect to any claim, whether or not fixed as to liability
or liquidated as to amount, with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has been given written
notice setting forth the facts upon which the claim for indemnification is based and, if possible,
a reasonable estimate of the amount of the claims prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months
after the Closing Date or six months after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations,
as the case may be.
10.2 Indemnification. The parties hereto shall indemnify each other as set forth
below:
(a) BPI shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless Intcomex, its Affiliates and each of their
respective directors, officers, employees and advisors (the “Intcomex Indemnified Parties”)
from any and all Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from (x) any inaccuracy as of the
date hereof or as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of BPI or the BP Selling
Entities which is contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or the License Agreement or any
breach by BPI or the BP Selling Entities of any of their respective obligations or covenants
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement (including those covenants contained in Section
2.5) or the License Agreement, (y) the Excluded Liabilities and (z) the settlement of certain
intercompany transactions as described in Section 6.4 hereof; and (ii) reimburse the Intcomex
Indemnified Parties for any and all fees, costs and expenses of any kind arising out of such
Losses.
(b) Intcomex shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless BPI and each of its directors, officers,
employees, advisors and Affiliates (the “BP Indemnified Parties”) from (x) any and all
Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from any inaccuracy as of the date hereof or as of
the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of Intcomex or any other
65
Intcomex Party which is
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any breach by Intcomex or any other Intcomex
Party of any of its obligations or covenants contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement
(including those covenants contained in Section 2.5), and (y) the Assumed Liabilities; and (ii)
reimburse the BP Indemnified Parties for any and all fees, costs and expenses of any kind arising
out of such Losses.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary:
(i) Neither BPI nor Intcomex shall be required, pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or
(b), to indemnify and hold harmless the Intcomex Indemnified Parties or the BPI
Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of Losses (A) in
the case of indemnification by BPI under Section 10.2(a), exceeds $225,000 (the
“BPI Basket Amount”), after which BPI will be obligated to indemnify the
Intcomex Indemnified Parties for all Losses in excess of the BPI Basket Amount, or
(B) in the case of indemnification by Intcomex under Section 10.2(b), exceeds $1.0
million (the “Intcomex Basket Amount”), after which Intcomex will be
obligated to indemnify the BP Indemnified Parties for all Losses in excess of the
Intcomex Basket Amount; and
(ii) the cumulative aggregate indemnification obligations of each of BPI or
Intcomex under Section 10.2(a) or (b), as the case may be, shall in no event exceed
$1.575 million (the “Cap”);
To illustrate by example, in the event that Intcomex is obligated to indemnify BP Indemnified
Parties pursuant to Section 10.2(b) and the indemnifiable Losses are determined to be $3.0 million,
the Intcomex Basket Amount shall have been met and then the Cap shall be applied so that the
cumulative amount of indemnification due to the BP Indemnified Parties shall be $1.575 million
($3.0 million Losses minus $1.0 million for the Intcomex Basket Amount equals $2.0 million and then
the Cap of $1.575 million shall be applied). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the limitations
set forth in this Section 10.2(c) shall apply to any indemnification claims for Losses relating to
or arising from: (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any Special Representation, (ii) any breach or
inaccuracy of the representations or warranties of BPI set forth in Sections 3.8, 3.16, 3.17, 3.18
or 3.20, (iii) any breach of any covenants set forth in ARTICLE IX, (iv) any Losses relating to or
arising from the Excluded Liabilities, (v) any Losses of any BP Indemnified Party relating to or
arising from any arrangement made pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i) hereof, (vi) any breach of the
obligations set forth in Section 2.5(a)(ii), and (vii) fraud. With respect to each event,
occurrence or matter (“Indemnification Matter”) as to which any BP Indemnified Party or any
Intcomex Indemnified Party, as the case may be (in either case, referred to collectively as, the
“Indemnified Party”), is or may reasonably be entitled to indemnification from BPI under
subsection (a) above or from Intcomex under subsection (b) above, as the case may be (in either
case referred to collectively as, the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly (but no later than
ten (10) calendar days) after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any
action in respect of which the Indemnified Party will seek indemnification hereunder, or, if the
Indemnification Matter does not involve a third-party action, suit, claim or demand, as promptly as
practicable after the Indemnified Party first has actual knowledge of the Indemnification Matter or
of other matters from which an Indemnification Matter is reasonably likely to result, the
Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing, coupled with
66
reasonable
supporting detail to the Indemnifying Party of the nature of the Indemnification Matter and the
amount demanded or claimed in connection therewith (“Indemnification Notice”), together
with copies of any such written documents. The failure to provide a timely Indemnification Notice
to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have
to an Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the defense of such action was
irreparably and materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to timely provide such
Indemnification Notice.
(d) If a third-party action, suit, claim or demand is involved, then, upon receipt of the
Indemnification Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have ten (10) calendar days after said notice
is given to elect, by written notice given to the Indemnified Party, to undertake, conduct and
control (unless (A) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such action, suit, claim or demand
and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate
or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurances to the Indemnified Party of
its capacity (financial or otherwise) to defend such action, suit, claim or demand and provide
indemnification with respect thereto), through counsel of its own choosing which is reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, the good faith
settlement or defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided: (a) all settlements require the prior
reasonable consultation with the Indemnified Party and the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the Indemnifying Party may
settle any such claim without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party if (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 (other than a release thereof) on any other claims that may be made by or against the
Indemnified Party, and (ii) such settlement involves the full release of the Indemnified Party,
the sole relief provided is monetary damages and the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay all amounts
payable pursuant to and concurrently with such settlement; and (b) the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified
Party, provided that Indemnified Party acknowledges and accepts in writing full liability for the
applicable Indemnification Matter and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the
Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting any such claim in good faith,
the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such
claim at any time, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right of
indemnification therefor by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not make a
timely election to undertake the good faith defense or settlement of the claim as aforesaid or if
the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such claim,
then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim at its
exclusive discretion, at the sole risk and expense of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying
Party will be bound by any determination made in such claim or any compromise or settlement
effected by the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
shall fully cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of such claim, including
without limitation by furnishing all available documentary or other evidence as is reasonably
requested by the other. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to a settlement that imposes
only monetary damages and otherwise satisfies conditions (i) and (ii) above, then the Indemnifying
Party’s liability with respect to such matter shall be limited to the
67
amount of such rejected
settlement along with the Legal Expenses associated with such settlement.
(e) All amounts owed by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party (if any) shall be paid
in full within ten (10) calendar days after a final judgment (without further right of appeal)
determining the amount owed is rendered, or after a final settlement or agreement as to the amount
owed is executed, unless otherwise provided in such final settlement or agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party determines in
good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a claim would likely materially adversely
affect its or its Affiliates’ current or future business or financial condition 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 right to defend,
compromise or settle such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this ARTICLE X, for any monetary damages and all reasonable costs or
expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, that all compromises or
settlements require reasonable consultation with the Indemnifying Party and the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided further that if the Indemnified Party does not make a timely election to undertake the
good faith defense of the claim as aforesaid or if the Indemnified Party fails to take reasonable
steps necessary to defend diligently such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this ARTICLE X, to defend such claim.
(g) Each Party shall take reasonable steps to mitigate and otherwise minimize the Losses upon
and after becoming aware of any event that would be reasonably expected to give rise to any
Indemnification Matter. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section
10.2 shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any
indemnification by or indemnification or other agreement with any third Person, (ii) any insurance
proceeds (calculated net of any deductibles, co-payments, increase in insurance premiums or other
payment obligations (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection) resulting from the
related claims under applicable insurance policies) or other cash receipts or sources of
reimbursement received in respect of such Loss, (iii) an amount equal to the Tax benefit (including
any credits), if any, actually realized by the Indemnified Party attributable to such Loss and (iv)
any specific accruals or reserves (or overstatement of liabilities in respect of actual liability)
included in such Party’s financial statements. The Parties shall take and shall cause their
Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that
would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the
minimum extent necessary to remedy a breach that gives rise to the Loss. In the event that a
recovery is made or indemnification payment is received, whether received pursuant to this Section
10.2 or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or from any third Person, by an Indemnified Party
with respect to any Losses for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder by the
Indemnifying Party, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery or payment (net of
all costs and expenses, including related premium increases) shall be made promptly to the
Indemnifying Party or, if the Losses have not yet been determined or paid by the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification
68
obligation in respect of the Losses shall be
reduced by the aggregate amount of the recovery or indemnification payments (net of all costs and
expenses, including related premium expenses).
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Party shall be
liable to or otherwise responsible to any Indemnified Party or any other Person based on any
multiple of profits or earnings or incidental, punitive, special, indirect or consequential
damages, resulting from, arising out of or incident to any Indemnification Matter or the
enforcement by any person of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement, except in the case
of fraud, criminal activity or intentional misrepresentation or to the extent actually payable to a
third Person in respect of a third-party claim.
ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
11.1 Termination.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:
(i) by mutual written consent of Intcomex and BPI;
(ii) by Intcomex or BPI, if the Closing shall not have taken place on or prior
to April 30, 2011 or such later date as shall have been approved by Intcomex and BPI
(the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right
to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(a)(ii) shall not be available to
(i) Intcomex if its failure to perform any covenant or obligation under this
Agreement or breach of a representation or warranty contained in or made pursuant to
this Agreement has been the principal cause of or principally resulted in the
failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date or (ii) BPI if BPI’s or any
of the BP Selling Entities’ failure to perform any covenant or obligation under this
Agreement or breach of a representation or warranty contained in or made pursuant to
this Agreement has been the principal cause of or principally resulted in the
failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(iii) by Intcomex or BPI if any court of competent jurisdiction or other
Governmental Body shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other
action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and such order, decree, ruling
or other action shall have become final and non-appealable;
(iv) by Intcomex, if there has been any violation or breach by BPI or any of
the BP Selling Entities of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of
or by BPI or any of the BP Selling Entities contained in this Agreement that has
rendered the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Intcomex impossible
and such violation or breach has not been waived by Intcomex, and, to the extent
such violation or breach is capable of being cured, a period of 20 calendar days to
cure such violation or breach has expired; and
69
(v) by BPI, if there has been a violation or breach by Intcomex of any
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of or by Intcomex contained in this
Agreement that has rendered the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations BPI
or any of the BP Selling Entities impossible and such violation or breach has not
been waived by BPI or the BP Selling Entities, and, to the extent such violation or
breach is capable of being cured, a period of 20 calendar days to cure such
violation or breach has expired.
(b) If Intcomex or BPI terminates this Agreement pursuant to the provisions hereof, such
termination shall be effective after notice to the other parties specifying the provision hereof
pursuant to which such termination is made.
(c) Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1,
all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in
Sections 12.1 (Expenses), 12.6 (Governing Law), 12.7 (Consent to Jurisdiction, etc.), 12.8 (Waiver
of Jury Trial) and 12.11 (Specific Performance) will survive; provided, however, that, if this
Agreement is terminated by a Party because of the breach of this Agreement by another Party of any
of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, 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 covenant or obligations contained in this
Agreement, then the terminating Party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such
termination unimpaired (including under Section 12.11 (Specific Performance)). Nothing in this
Section 11.1(c) shall be deemed to release any Party from any liability for any breach by such
Party of the terms, conditions, covenants and other provisions of this Agreement or to impair the
right of any Party to compel specific performance by any other Party of its obligations under this
Agreement.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each of the Parties hereto shall

between the parties with respect to its subject matter (without limitation of the foregoing, it is

Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be amended
except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
71
12.6 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES
OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION
OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
12.7 Consent to Jurisdiction, etc.
(a) In any action between or among any of the parties, whether arising out of this Agreement,
any of the agreements contemplated hereby or otherwise, (a) each of the parties irrevocably
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in New
York, New York, (b) if any such action is commenced in a state court, then, subject to applicable
law, no party shall object to the removal of such action to any federal court located in New York,
New York, (c) each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) each of the
parties irrevocably agrees to designate a service company located in the United States as its agent
for service of process and consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is located, and (e) the
prevailing parties shall be entitled to recover their reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and
disbursements from the other parties (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing
parties may be entitled).
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect
the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
12.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY
WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND
THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT

(ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS
VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE

72
12.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of law, the other provisions will remain in full force and effect to the
extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
12.11 Specific Performance. The Intcomex Parties, on the one hand, and the BP
Parties, on the other hand, recognize that any breach of the terms of this Agreement may give rise
to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy, and accordingly agree
that, in addition to other remedies, any nonbreaching party shall be entitled to enforce the terms
of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the
inadequacy as a remedy of money damages.
12.12 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative
and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right,
power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will
operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any
such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power,
or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents
referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or
renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; and (b) no waiver
that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is
given.
12.13
Bulk Sales Law. Intcomex hereby waives compliance by the BP Parties with the
provisions of any so-called bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of
the Purchased Assets.
