If notice of intent to dispute and defend is not given by the Indemnifying Party within the time period referenced above, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, then the Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim (exercising reasonable business judgment) in its discretion. If such Third Party Claim is one that, by its nature, cannot be defended solely by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request, and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense.

For a period of eight (8) years from the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), Sellers shall not, and shall not authorize any of their agents or respective Affiliates to, engage (whether as a provider of products or services or as an owner, investor, operator, manager, employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, representative or otherwise), directly or indirectly, in owning or operating a water plant similar to the Water Plant, in Bayóvar, Piura, Peru, other than pursuant to relationships with the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries; provided that ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed to be engaging solely by reason thereof in any of its business.

11.10 Non-Solicitation

As a separate and independent covenant, Sellers agree that, during the Non-Compete Period, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, they shall not, and shall not authorize any of their employees, agents or Affiliates to, directly or indirectly;

11.13 Right of First Offer

During the Non-Compete Period, should the Company, the Purchaser, the Purchaser Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof (any of them a “Developer”) intend to design, construct, own or operate a water plant in Bayóvar, Piura, Peru, that is similar to the Water Plant, and the Developer decides to engage the services of an unaffiliated engineer or construction company for a scope of work involving the expenditure of US$ 1,000,000 or more (any of them, an “Investment”), the Developer shall invite AG Peru to present an offer for such purposes in accordance with this Section 11.13 (the “Right of First Offer”).

Before inviting any other person to present an offer for such purposes, the Developer shall provide notice (the “ROFO Notice”) to AG Peru of the proposed Investment and invite AG Xxxx

to present an offer to provide the engineering or construction services required for the proposed Investment.

If the AG Offer is not considered by the Developer as a competitive or commercially reasonable offer, the Developer may request one or more offers from other third parties. The Developer may select a person to provide the engineering or construction services required for the proposed Investment based on the Developer’s evaluation of the pricing, terms, conditions, quality and other factors involved and the Developer’s determination of the person most appropriate to provide the engineering or construction services required for the proposed Investment.

If more than six (6) months elapses after the Developer refused the AG Offer without having executed the final agreement with another person in respect of the engineering or construction services required for the proposed Investment, the Developer must re-initiate the procedures established in this Section.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from the Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
