Acquired Company Intercompany Debt Receivables) in respect of the Equity Interests owned by Sellers in each Initial Acquired 

  

 23

Company, as the case may be), plus (ii) the amount of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, together with any other amounts due and payable, through the Initial Closing in respect of the Sellers Stockholder Debt relating

Acquired Company is being transferred directly to Purchaser or through the transfer of any Holding Company), plus (ii) the amount of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, together with any other amounts due and payable,
through the Subsequent Closing in respect of the Sellers Stockholder Debt relating to each Subsequent Acquired Company (whether such Subsequent Acquired Company is being transferred directly to Purchaser or through the transfer of any Holding
Company), plus (iii) with respect to the Colombian Acquired Company, the amount of the origination fees relating to the Colombian participation agreement and the underlying loans.

designate in writing to Purchaser not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date. Purchaser shall, however, be entitled to withhold from amounts payable under this Section 2.3(c) any Taxes required to be withheld
by Purchaser under applicable Law, but Purchaser shall only be permitted to withhold such Taxes after giving Sellers ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice. Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser if they reasonably believe that no
withholding is required (and shall provide an opinion of local counsel to such effect) and in such event Purchaser shall not withhold such Taxes if Sellers agree to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses incurred as a result of their failure to
withhold. Each Escrow Agreement shall provide that the balance of any escrow funds, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall be released no later than the Final Adjustment Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax 

  

 24

any Subsequent Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser, at Sellers’ expense a statement (which statement shall have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a basis consistent with the accounting
principles, practices and procedures used in the preparation of the Financial Statements) setting forth (and accompanied by such documentation as Purchaser may reasonably request) a calculation of the Sellers Allocated Payment and the Minority

Subsequent Closing Date: (i) the total Acquired Company Cash, (ii) the total Intercompany Debt Receivables of such Acquired Company and (iii) the total Acquired Company Debt, in each case estimated as of 12:01 a.m. New York time on the applicable
Closing Date and calculated as of a date no earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to the Initial Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date. The amount of Acquired Company Debt set forth in a Sellers Allocated Payment Statement is referred to
as the “Estimated Acquired Company Debt” for the applicable Initial Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date. The amount of Acquired Company Cash set forth in a Sellers Allocated Payment Statement is referred to as the
“Estimated Acquired Company Cash” for the applicable Initial Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date. The amount of Intercompany Debt Receivables of such Acquired Company set forth in the Sellers Allocated Payment Statement is
referred to as the “Estimated Acquired Company Intercompany Debt Receivables” for the applicable Initial Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date. Promptly upon Purchaser’s request, Sellers shall make available to Purchaser
copies of the work papers and back-up materials used by Sellers in preparing the Sellers Allocated Payment Statements and such other documents as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Sellers Allocated Payment
Statements. 
  
 (b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Initial
Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative at Purchaser’s expense a statement (which statement shall have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a basis consistent with
the accounting principles, practices and procedures used in the preparation of the Financial Statements) (a “Closing Date Adjustment Statement”) setting forth with respect to each Initial Acquired Company acquired on the Initial
Closing Date or each Subsequent Acquired Company acquired on any Subsequent Closing Date a calculation of (i) the total Acquired Company Cash, (ii) the total Intercompany Debt Receivables of such Acquired Company and (iii) the total Acquired Company
Debt, in each case calculated as of 12:01 a.m. New York time on the applicable Initial Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date. Promptly upon Sellers’ request, Purchaser shall make available to Sellers copies of the work papers and back-up
materials used by Purchaser in preparing the Closing Date Adjustment Statement and such other documents as Sellers may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Closing Date Adjustment Statement. 
  

 25 








 (c) Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a Closing Date Adjustment Statement, the Seller
Representative shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement describing its objections (if any) to a Closing Date Adjustment Statement. If the Seller Representative does not raise any objections in a written statement to Purchaser within such
forty-five (45)-day period, the Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to a Closing Date Adjustment Statement and a Closing Date Adjustment Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive upon all parties. If the Seller
Representative raises objections in a written statement to Purchaser within such forty-five (45)-day period, the parties shall attempt to resolve their differences and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding
and conclusive. If the parties cannot resolve such objection within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Purchaser of such written statement, any remaining disputes shall be resolved by KPMG LLP, or if KPMG LLP declines such engagement, by
another internationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to Purchaser and the Seller Representative (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve such disputes within thirty
(30) days after its appointment. The resolution of disputes by the Accounting Firm shall be set forth in writing (the “Accounting Firm Adjustment Statement”) and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and a Closing Date
Adjustment Statement, as modified by such resolution, shall become final and binding as of the date of such resolution. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be apportioned between the parties by the Accounting Firm based on the degree
to which each party’s claims were unsuccessful and shall be paid by the parties in accordance with such determination. For example, if pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) Sellers submitted an objection affecting the Allocated Purchase Price
in the amount of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) and prevailed as to Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000) of such amount, then Sellers would bear fifty-five percent (55%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, following the final determination of all adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4 at any Closing, if the net aggregate amount of all such adjustments, taken
together, is less than or equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), then the parties agree that there shall be no adjustment to the purchase price paid at the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and such
purchase price shall be deemed to be the final purchase price for all purposes of this Agreement, provided, that if such adjustment exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), then the total amount (and not only the excess) of such adjustment
will be made and paid for this purpose. 
  
 (d) The Acquired
Company Debt of an Initial Acquired Company, as of the Initial Closing Date or of a Subsequent Acquired Company, as of the Subsequent Closing Date, as determined (i) on the Closing Date Adjustment Statement deemed to be final in accordance with the
second sentence of Section 2.4(c), (ii) by the written resolution of Sellers and Purchaser or (iii) on the Accounting Firm Adjustment Statement, is referred to as the “Final Acquired Company Debt.” The Acquired Company Cash
of an Initial Acquired Company, as of the Initial Closing Date or of a Subsequent Acquired Company, as of the Subsequent Closing Date, as determined (A) on the Closing Date Adjustment Statement deemed to be final in accordance with the second
sentence of Section 2.4(c), (B) by the written resolution of Sellers and Purchaser or (C) on the Accounting Firm Adjustment Statement, is referred to as the “Final Acquired Company Cash.” The Intercompany Debt Receivables of
an Initial Acquired Company, as of the Initial Closing Date or of a Subsequent Acquired Company, as of the Subsequent Closing Date, as determined (A) on the Closing Date Adjustment Statement deemed to be final in accordance 
  

 26 








 
with the second sentence of Section 2.4(c), (B) by the written resolution of Sellers and Purchaser or (C) on the Accounting Firm Adjustment Statement,
is referred to as the “Final Acquired Company Intercompany Debt Receivables.” No later than two (2) Business Days (the “Final Adjustment Payment Date”) following the date on which all of the Final Acquired Company
Debt, the Final Acquired Company Cash and the Final Acquired Company Intercompany Debt Receivables of an Initial Acquired Company or a Subsequent Acquired Company are finally determined as provided in the first sentence of this Section 2.4(d)
(such date being referred to herein as the “Determination Date”), Purchaser or Sellers shall make the following payments with respect to each Initial Acquired Company and Subsequent Acquired Company after netting against each other
all payments required to be made under this Section 2.4(d): 
  
 (i) If the Estimated Acquired Company Debt is greater than the Final Acquired Company Debt with respect to an Acquired Company, then (A) an amount equal to the Sellers Allocation Percentage with respect to such
Acquired Company multiplied by the amount of such excess shall be paid by Purchaser to Sellers and (B) in the event that there are Take-Along Sellers with respect to such Acquired Company, an amount equal to the Minority Holders Allocation
Percentage applicable to such Take-Along Seller multiplied by the amount of such excess shall be paid by Purchasers to the Take-Along Sellers. If the Estimated Acquired Company Debt is less than the Final Acquired Company Debt with respect to
an Acquired Company, then (A) an amount equal to the Sellers Allocation Percentage with respect to such Acquired Company multiplied by the amount of such deficit shall be paid by Sellers to Purchaser and (B) in the event that there are
Take-Along Sellers with respect to such Acquired Company, an amount equal to the Minority Holders Allocation Percentage applicable to such Take-Along Seller multiplied by the amount of such deficit shall be paid by the Take-Along Sellers to
Purchaser, which deficit payments shall in each case be satisfied by a distribution from the Purchase Price Adjustment Fund with respect to such Acquired Company or, to the extent that the funds deposited in the Purchase Price Adjustment Fund are
not sufficient to satisfy the full amount of the deficit payments due to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(i), the remaining amounts of such deficit payments shall be paid directly to Purchaser by Sellers and the Take-Along Sellers on
a pro rata basis. 
  
 (ii) If the
Estimated Acquired Company Cash is greater than the Final Acquired Company Cash, then (A) an amount equal to the Sellers Allocation Percentage with respect to such Acquired Company multiplied by the amount of such excess shall be paid by
Sellers to Purchaser and (B) in the event that there are Take-Along Sellers with respect to such Acquired Company, an amount equal to the Minority Holders Allocation Percentage applicable to such Take-Along Seller multiplied by the amount of
such excess shall be paid by Take-Along Sellers to Purchaser, which excess payments shall in each case be satisfied by a distribution from the Purchase Price Adjustment Fund or, to the extent that the funds deposited in the Purchase Price Adjustment
Fund are not sufficient to satisfy the full amount of the deficit payments due to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(ii), the remaining amounts of such deficit payments shall be paid directly to Purchaser by Sellers and the Take-Along
Sellers on a pro rata basis. If the Estimated Acquired Company Cash is less than the Final Acquired Company Cash, then (A) an amount equal to Sellers Allocation Percentage applicable to such Acquired Company multiplied by the
amount of such deficit shall be paid by Purchaser to Sellers, and (B) in 

  

 27 








 
the event that there are Take-Along Sellers with respect to such Acquired Company, an amount equal to the Minority Holders Allocation Percentage applicable
to such Take-Along Seller multiplied by the amount of such deficit shall be paid by Purchaser to the Take-Along Sellers. 
  
 (iii) If the Estimated Acquired Company Intercompany Debt Receivables are greater than the Final Acquired Company Intercompany Debt
Receivables, then (A) an amount equal to the Sellers Allocation Percentage with respect to such Acquired Company multiplied by the amount of such excess shall be paid by Sellers to Purchaser and (B) in the event that there are Take-Along
Sellers with respect to such Acquired Company, an amount equal to the Minority Holders Allocation Percentage applicable to such Take-Along Seller multiplied by the amount of such excess shall be paid by Take-Along Sellers to Purchaser, which excess
payment shall be satisfied by a distribution from the Purchase Price Adjustment Fund or, to the extent that the funds deposited in the Purchase Price Adjustment Fund are not sufficient to satisfy the full amount of the deficit payments due to
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(iii), the remaining amounts of such deficit payments shall be paid directly to Purchaser by Sellers and the Take-Along Sellers on a pro rata basis. If the Estimated Acquired Company
Intercompany Debt Receivables are less than the Final Acquired Company Intercompany Debt Receivables, then (A) an amount equal to Sellers Allocation Percentage applicable to such Acquired Company multiplied by the amount of such deficit shall
be paid by Purchaser to Sellers and (B) in the event that there are Take-Along Sellers with respect to such Acquired Company, an amount equal to the Minority Holders Allocation Percentage applicable to such Take-Along Seller multiplied by the
amount of such deficit shall be paid by Purchaser to the Take-Along Sellers.

of the Initial Closing Date or, if applicable, a Subsequent Acquired Company as of the Subsequent Closing Date for purposes of the Sellers Allocated Payment Statement and the Closing Date Adjustment Statement, any such items denominated in an
currency other than Dollars shall be converted into Dollars from such other currency using the applicable Exchange Rate.

amount less than zero, then the Allocated Purchase Price with respect to such Acquired Company shall give full effect to such amount below zero.

 (a) Schedule 3.1(a) sets forth, with respect to each Acquired Company that has Minority Equity Interests, the name of
each holder of Minority Equity Interests (each, a 

  

 28 








 
“Minority Equity Holder”) and a description of the Minority Equity Interests held by such Minority Equity Holder as of the date hereof. In
the event there is any change in the ownership information set forth in Schedule 3.1(a) after the date hereof, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with the updated information as soon as practicable after the relevant change in the ownership of
the Acquired Companies and in no event later than two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date. 
  
 (b) Schedule 3.1(b) sets forth, with respect to each Acquired Company that has Minority Equity Interests, a list of all Contracts with Minority
Equity Holders to which any Seller or the Acquired Company is a party that relate to the purchase, sale, issuance, repurchase, redemption, acquisition, transfer, disposition, holding or voting of any Equity Interests in or management of such
Acquired Company (collectively, the “Minority Equity Agreements”). 
  
 (c) From the date of this Agreement until the Final Closing Date, Purchaser, with respect to its obligations pursuant to this Article III and subject to the third to last sentence of this Section 3.1(c),
and each Seller shall, and Sellers shall cause each Acquired Company to, use best efforts to (i) obtain, or cause to be obtained, all of the necessary consents, waivers, modifications, approvals, certificates and other documents in relation to the
Minority Equity Agreements, each of which is set forth in Schedule 3.1(c) (collectively, the “Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals”) and (ii) subject to the Minority Equity Holders Rights and solely to the extent
required by the terms and conditions of the Minority Equity Agreements or as otherwise requested by Sellers, cause the consummation of the sale to Purchaser on the Initial Closing Date of all of the Minority Equity Interests in those Initial
Acquired Companies or on any Subsequent Closing Date of all of the Minority Equity Interests in those Subsequent Acquired Companies that are the subject of such Subsequent Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Article III or otherwise, (A) Sellers shall have full and complete control over all communications, negotiations, solicitations and other discussions with Minority Equity Holders with respect to the transactions contemplated in this
Article III, including all communications, negotiations, solicitations or other discussions regarding the Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals, Take-Along Offers, the repayment or treatment of the Stockholder Debt and any other
proposals, offers or transactions whatsoever related to the purchase (whether by Sellers, Purchaser or otherwise) of Minority Equity Interests (such transactions are referred to herein collectively as the “Take-Along Transactions”)
and (B) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors (including financial advisors, counsel and accountants) and representatives (collectively,
“Representatives”) shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any communications, negotiations, solicitations or other discussions with Minority Equity Holders regarding any Take-Along Transactions or otherwise solicit, initiate,
continue, discuss, negotiate, commit to, enter into or encourage any Take-Along Offers or any other offers or proposals to or transactions with any Minority Equity Holder with respect to Minority Equity Interests, except to the extent (and upon such
terms and conditions as) such communications, negotiations, solicitations or other discussions are specifically authorized and approved in advance by Sellers on a case-by-case basis. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to
communicate, negotiate or discuss with any Minority Equity Holder with respect to any Take-Along Transactions unless Sellers, in good faith, reasonably determine that the communication, negotiation or discussion by Purchaser or its Affiliates with
any Minority Equity Holder is necessary to complete the Take-Along Transactions. Purchaser will promptly (but in any event within seventy-two (72) hours) notify Sellers in writing of the receipt by 

  

 29 








 
Purchaser or any of its Representatives of any inquiries, proposals or offers from or on behalf of any Minority Equity Holder, which notification shall
include the identity of the party or parties making such inquiry, proposal or offer and the material terms and conditions of such inquiry, proposal or offer. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Sellers that, to Purchaser’s knowledge,
prior to the date of this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any of its Representatives has, directly or indirectly, engaged in any communications, negotiations, solicitations or other discussions with any Minority Equity Holders regarding any
Take-Along Transactions or any other transactions whatsoever related to or involving Minority Equity Interests. 
  
 (d) Purchaser and each Seller shall, and each Seller shall cause each Acquired Company to, comply with (i) all Laws and fiduciary and other applicable
duties applicable to the Take-Along Transactions (including the Take-Along Offer, obtaining the Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals, or otherwise related to the transactions contemplated in this Article III) and (ii) all of the terms
and conditions of the Minority Equity Agreements (including such terms, conditions and procedures related to any “tag along,” right of first refusal, or other participation or consent rights of the Minority Equity Holders set forth in such
Minority Equity Agreements). 
  
 (e) Subject to
Purchaser’s execution of a joint defense agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sellers, Sellers agree to provide Purchaser with reasonable access to all pleadings, motions and other similar filings made by the BellSouth
Entities in connection with the Venezuela Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers shall continue to control in all respects the defense and all claims, counterclaims and other proceedings in respect
of the Venezuelan Arbitration in accordance with Section 6.14 until the earlier to occur of (i) the date of the issuance by the arbitration panel having jurisdiction over the Venezuela Arbitration of a final, non-appealable resolution of the
Venezuelan Arbitration, or (ii) the final settlement of the Venezuela Arbitration by mutual agreement of the parties thereto (the “Venezuela Arbitration Award Date”). 
  
 (f) If at any time during the period following the Venezuela Arbitration Award Date through June 30, 2008, any of the
Sellers purchase some or all of the Equity Interests in Comtel Comunicaciones Telefónicas, S.A. and Telcel Celular, C.A. (collectively, the “Venezuelan Arbitration Entity”) held by the holders of Equity Interests in the
Venezuelan Arbitration Entities other than Sellers (the “Venezuelan Arbitration Shares”), Purchaser shall have the right to purchase (the “Venezuela Call Right”), and Sellers shall have the right to require
Purchaser to purchase (the “Venezuela Put Right”), the Venezuelan Arbitration Shares at a purchase price per share equal to the Sellers Allocated Payment per share in respect of the Venezuelan Acquired Company; provided,
however, that in no event will Sellers be obligated to sell to Purchaser, or shall Purchaser be obligated to purchase from Sellers, the Venezuelan Arbitration Shares at any time prior to any Closing (whether the Initial Closing or any
Subsequent Closing) to which the Venezuelan Acquired Company is subject; provided, further that in the event the Venezuelan Arbitration Shares are to be sold to Purchaser concurrently with the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing
to which the Venezuelan Acquired Company is subject, the sale and purchase of the Venezuelan Arbitration Shares by Sellers to Purchaser shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII as
applicable to such Closing. The Venezuela Call Right and Venezuela Put Right may each be exercised upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice by, in the case of the Venezuela Call Right, Purchaser to 
  

 30 








 
the Seller Representative, or in the case of the Venezuela Put Right, the Seller Representative to the Purchaser. In the event that the consummation of the
sale of the Venezuelan Arbitration Shares is not to take place concurrently with the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, then such sale shall be consummated on the third (3rd) Business Day following the notification by either Purchaser or the
Sellers Representative of the election to exercise the Venezuela Call Right or the Venezuela Put Right, as applicable, at such location as mutually agreed by the parties, in each case subject to the absence of any Governmental Orders of the type
described in Section 7.1(a) or Required Regulatory Approvals of the type described in Section 7.1(b). For avoidance of doubt, the Venezuela Call Right and the Venezuela Put Right shall each terminate on June 30, 2008. 
  
 (g) The parties agree that at the applicable Closing, Sellers will assign,
and Purchaser will assume, all of Sellers’ rights and obligations under the Minority Equity Agreements with respect to any Acquired Company that is the subject of the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing for which Minority Equity Holders
will continue to be Minority Equity Holders following the applicable Closing Date and, if applicable, under any Acquired Company Organizational Document. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2(a)(vii), Purchaser shall take any and all
other actions necessary in connection with the assignment and assumption of such Minority Equity Agreements. 
  
 3.2 Take-Along Offer to Holders of Minority Equity Interests. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise required in order to comply with the Minority Equity Agreements of an Acquired Company or as
otherwise directed by Sellers with respect to an Acquired Company that has Minority Equity Interests, as soon as practicable after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Purchaser shall, subject to the requirements of Section 3.1(c) and to the
second sentence of this Section 3.2(a), make an offer to each Minority Equity Holder of the subject Acquired Company to purchase such Minority Equity Interests in accordance with Section 2.2(b) at a purchase price per Minority Equity
Interest calculated in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.2(b) (the “Take-Along Offer”), which offer may contain such conditions to Closing as deemed necessary in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion (but only
to the extent consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, applicable Law and the Minority Equity Holder Rights), including that such Closing is subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to such Acquired
Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article III or otherwise, Purchaser shall take the actions described in the first sentence of this Section 3.2(a) only to the extent that such actions are required
pursuant to the Minority Equity Agreements or are otherwise requested by Sellers in their sole discretion, and such actions shall be taken at the times and in the manner necessary in order to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the
applicable Minority Equity Agreements (including such terms, conditions and procedures related to any “tag along,” right of first refusal, or other participation or consent rights of the Minority Equity Holders set forth in such Minority
Equity Agreements or any other terms, conditions and procedures agreed or consented to by the Minority Equity Holders) or at the times and in the manner requested by Sellers, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser
acknowledges that certain Minority Equity Agreements may require the Take-Along Closing with respect to the Minority Equity Interests in an Acquired Company to occur concurrently with a Closing or at such other times as 

  

 31 








 
further described in such Minority Equity Agreements or as requested by Sellers, to the extent consistent with this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The offer price per Minority Equity Interest in connection with each
Take-Along Offer will be determined by dividing (x) the aggregate Minority Equity Allocated Payment for the applicable Acquired Company by (y) the aggregate number of then-outstanding Minority Equity Interests for an Acquired Company, and will be
offered to each Minority Equity Holder subject to (i) any reduction for any Taxes required to be withheld by Purchaser under applicable Law, and (ii) to the extent agreed by the relevant Minority Equity Holder or otherwise required pursuant to any
Governmental Order or applicable Law, any amounts owed by the applicable Minority Equity Holder to Sellers or Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates in respect of any Debt of such Minority Equity Holder, whether evidenced by a note or
otherwise, or other payment obligations of any kind that remain outstanding as of the date of the applicable Take-Along Closing (the “BellSouth Entities Owed Amounts”). All documentation to be executed in connection with the offer
and consummation of the Take-Along Offer, including all offers to purchase, transmittal letters, purchase agreements and other agreements, instruments and documentation (collectively, the “Take-Along Documentation”), will be
prepared by Sellers, provided that such documentation, in any event, will (unless otherwise required by Law or by the Minority Equity Agreements) (i) require each Minority Equity Holder to terminate and release all agreements, instruments,
covenants and commitments of or binding on the Acquired Company and Sellers and their respective affiliates (including, the Minority Equity Agreements) and to further release the Acquired Company, Purchaser, Sellers and their respective
Representatives and agents from and against any lawsuits, claims, obligations or liabilities arising prior to the closing of the Take-Along Offer and relating to their Minority Equity Interests, the Take-Along Offer and their investment and
participation in the Acquired Company, (ii) provide that the Take-Along Offer shall remain open for at least ninety (90) days or such longer period as required by applicable Law or the applicable Minority Equity Agreements, (iii) disclose any other
information that is required under any tender offer or similar Law in the appropriate jurisdictions (iv) require each Minority Equity Holder to agree to the purchase price adjustment provisions and the escrow arrangements contemplated in Section
2.4 and Section 3.2(c) and (v) provide that each Minority Equity Holder, as a condition of accepting the Take-Along Offer, shall be liable to Purchaser for all Minority Equity Losses, which liability may be evidenced by (A) appropriate
indemnification provisions in favor of Purchaser, (B) the Minority Equity Holder’s consent and agreement to permit Purchaser to maintain in escrow a portion of the Minority Equity Allocated Payment (as finally adjusted pursuant to Section
2.4) payable to such Minority Equity Holder for purposes of fully or partially guaranteeing or otherwise satisfying or providing for the satisfaction of the Minority Equity Holder’s obligations with respect to such Minority Equity Losses or
(C) such other agreements and transactions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, Sellers and the Minority Equity Holder that accomplish the same purposes; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, (1) unless otherwise directed by Sellers, the Minority Equity Holders shall not have any of the rights of an Indemnifying Person set forth in Article X with respect to participation in the defense of any claim pursuant to the
indemnification procedures set forth in Article X or to approve any proposed settlements related to Losses under this Agreement and (2) no Seller, Acquired Company or Affiliate of any Seller or any Acquired Company shall have any liability or
obligation whatsoever with respect to such Minority Equity Losses. Any Losses (including Minority Equity Losses) that have been conclusively determined to be owed to Purchaser with 

  

 32 








 
respect to such Acquired Company at the time of the Take-Along Closing must be disclosed to Sellers and the Minority Equity Holders such that the amount of
such conclusively determined Minority Equity Losses can be withheld from the amount of the Minority Equity Allocated Payment otherwise payable to such Minority Equity Holder. 
  
 (c) Each closing of the sale and purchase of the Minority Equity Interests with respect to an Acquired Company pursuant to a
Take-Along Offer (each, a “Take-Along Closing”) shall take place at a location mutually agreed to by Purchaser and the Seller Representative, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the conditions set forth in the applicable Take-Along Offer Documentation shall have been satisfied or waived or at such other time, date
and place as shall be fixed by agreement. At each Take-Along Closing, unless otherwise agreed in the Take-Along Offer Documentation, Purchaser shall pay to each holder of the subject Minority Equity Interests that has accepted the applicable
Take-Along Offer (each, a “Take-Along Seller”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars, unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and such Take-Along Seller, to an account or accounts at a bank specified in writing by
such Take-Along Seller to Purchaser not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date for such Take-Along Closing an aggregate amount equal to (i) the Minority Equity Allocated Payment (which amount shall be calculated using the
Estimated Acquired Company Debt and Estimated Acquired Company Cash if the Take-Along Closing occurs prior to the Determination Date) in respect of the subject Minority Equity Interests owned by such Take-Along Seller, plus (ii) in the event
that the Take-Along Seller Stockholder Debt owed to such Take-Along Seller becomes due and payable as a result of the Take-Along Closing or to the extent otherwise reasonably requested by such Take-Along Seller, the amount of all outstanding
principal and accrued and unpaid interest, together with any amounts due and payable, in respect of such Take-Along Seller Stockholder Debt. In the event that the Take-Along Closing with respect to an Acquired Company occurs prior to the
Determination Date, (i) the payments made pursuant to subclause (i) of the preceding sentence by Purchaser to the Take-Along Sellers with respect to each Acquired Company shall be made in accordance with Section 12.4 and shall be delivered as
follows: (A) five percent (5%) of the Minority Equity Allocated Payment with respect to such Acquired Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow and disposed of in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Escrow Agreement and (B) the balance of the Minority Equity Allocated Payment with respect to such Acquired Company (calculated using the Estimated Acquired Company Debt and Estimated
Acquired Company Cash) to such account or accounts as the Take-Along Sellers shall designate in writing to Purchaser not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date for such Take-Along Closing and (ii) the Minority Equity Allocated
Payment paid by Purchaser at such Take-Along Closing shall be finalized and adjusted pursuant to the procedures described in Section 2.4. If required in order to comply with the Minority Equity Agreements or the Minority Equity Holders Rights
of an Acquired Company or as otherwise directed by Sellers with respect to an Acquired Company, Purchaser and Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use best efforts to ensure that the Take-Along Closing is consummated concurrently with
the applicable Closing. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Article III or otherwise, following the date of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Sellers shall have the right to engage in negotiations, communications or other discussions with any Minority Equity
Holder, whether before or after any Take-Along Offer by Purchaser, regarding any Take-Along 

  

 33 








 
Transactions, including any transaction in which Sellers would directly purchase from the Minority Equity Holder some or all of the Minority Equity Interests
held by such Minority Equity Holder. In the event that a Seller purchases some or all of the Minority Equity Interests of a Minority Equity Holder directly, then, upon such purchase, if such purchase is consummated (i) on or prior to the sale to
Purchaser, either pursuant to the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, of Sellers Equity Interests in the Acquired Company in which the Minority Equity Holder formerly held its Minority Equity Interests, such Minority Equity Interests shall be
deemed to be Sellers Equity Interests for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of allocating the amount of the Aggregate Sellers Allocated Payment and the Sellers Allocated Payments, as the case may be, for determining the extent
of such Sellers’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(b) and (c), or (ii) at any time following the sale to Purchaser, either pursuant to the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, of Sellers Equity Interests
in the Acquired Company in which the Minority Equity Holder formerly held its Minority Equity Interests, such Seller shall be deemed to be a Take-Along Seller for purposes of this Article III and Sellers shall be required to sell, and
Purchaser shall be required to purchase, the Minority Equity Interests held by such Seller in the manner and pursuant to the terms (including the purchase price) contemplated in Section 3.2(c), provided, that (A) the purchase by
Purchaser of such Minority Equity Interests from such Seller shall be made pursuant to the same terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, as contemplated in this Agreement with respect to the Sellers Equity Interests in the
Acquired Companies, and (B) the purchase price paid by Purchaser to any Seller with respect to such Minority Equity Interests as contemplated in Section 3.2(c) shall be deemed to increase the amount of the Aggregate Sellers Allocated Payment
and the Sellers Allocated Payment, as the case may be, for purposes of determining the extent of such Sellers’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(b) and (c). 
  
 3.3 Sale of Equity Interests Pursuant to Rights of First Refusal.

  
 (a) The Minority Equity Agreements set forth on Schedule
3.3(a) of certain Acquired Companies provide rights of first refusal or other rights to such Minority Equity Holders to purchase the Equity Interests owned by Sellers in such Acquired Companies (“Rights of First Refusal”) that
become exercisable as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that, prior to the applicable Closing, any one or more of such Minority Equity Holders makes a bona fide election to exercise its Rights of First Refusal
with respect to some or all of the Equity Interests owned by Sellers in one or more Acquired Companies in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Minority Equity Agreement (the ”Right of First Refusal Shares”), then,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, (i) Sellers shall have no obligation to sell the Right of First Refusal Shares to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have no right to purchase the Right of First Refusal
Shares from Sellers, (ii) Sellers shall be deemed not to own, directly or indirectly, the Right of First Refusal Shares, (iii) such Right of First Refusal Shares shall be deemed to be excluded from the definition of “Sellers Equity
Interests” and “Holding Company Equity Interests” and shall not be considered Equity Interests owned directly or indirectly by Sellers, for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Sellers Allocation Percentage and the amount of the
Sellers Allocated Payment with respect to the Acquired Companies that have Right of First Refusal Shares shall be decreased accordingly for all purposes of this Agreement, including with respect to determining the extent of Sellers’
indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(b), (c) and (d), (v) the 
  

 34 








 
Right of First Refusal Shares will be understood to be owned by the Minority Equity Holders, (vi) the Minority Equity Holder Allocation Percentage and the
amount of the Minority Equity Holders Allocated Payment with respect to the Acquired Companies that have Right of First Refusal Shares shall be increased accordingly for all purposes of this Agreement, and (vii) if and at such time as one or more of
the Minority Equity Holders of such Acquired Company makes a bona fide election to exercise their Rights of First Refusal (the “ROFR Determination Date”) and, as a result of such bona fide election, Sellers do not own (or, upon the
closing of the sale of such Right of First Refusal Shares, will not own) any Equity Interests in such Acquired Company, then such Acquired Company shall be deemed to be a “ROFR Company”. 
  
 (b) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any Acquired Company
becomes a ROFR Company, (i) the parties shall nevertheless be obligated to consummate the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement except with respect to any such ROFR Company (or any
Retained Company or Section 6.29 Retained Company) and (ii) no representations or warranties shall be deemed to have been made by Sellers with respect to any such ROFR Company. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the ROFR Determination Date
with respect to a ROFR Company, Sections 6.5 and 6.6 and Article III, as well as any other provisions that would otherwise reasonably be interpreted to treat such ROFR Company as an Acquired Company whose Sellers Equity
Interests are being transferred directly or indirectly pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will no longer be applicable to such ROFR Company, provided that, Sections 6.8 and 6.28(a) and (b)
(provided that, with respect to Sections 6.28(a) and (b), such restrictions shall apply from the date of this Agreement until the applicable closing with respect to the Right of First Refusal Shares of such ROFR Company)
as well as the Confidentiality Agreement will continue to be applicable to all ROFR Companies.

availability of specific remedies and by principles of equity (collectively, “Enforceability Limitations”). 
  
 4.3 Authority Relative to this Agreement. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3 and except as would not be reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the execution, delivery and performance by each Seller of this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which any such Seller is a party, and the consummation by Sellers of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do

 COVENANTS

  
 6.1 Implementing Agreement. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each party hereto shall take all action required of it to fulfill its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall otherwise use best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 6.2 Access to Information and Facilities; Due Diligence Examination.

  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Sellers shall and shall cause each Acquired Company to, from the Due Diligence Commencement Date until the Due Diligence Expiration Date, (i) give Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives reasonable access, subject to the procedures
set forth in Part A on Schedule 6.2(a), during normal business hours to the important facilities, properties, accounts, books and records, equipment and Contracts of the Acquired Companies and the information set forth in Part B
of Schedule 6.2(a) hereof along with any other information that Purchaser may reasonably request in light of the 

  

 41 








 
materiality thresholds in representations contained in this Agreement and in the Additional Representations Certificate, (ii) instruct the officers, key
employees, attorneys, auditors and other representatives of the Acquired Companies and Sellers to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its investigation of the Acquired Companies and (iii) furnish to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives
such financial and operating data and other information concerning the Acquired Companies as Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that nothing herein will obligate Sellers or the Acquired Companies (A) to take any
actions that would unreasonably interfere with their business, (B) violate any applicable Law, policy or procedure, (C) breach or violate any applicable Minority Equity Agreement or any fiduciary, confidentiality or other duties or responsibilities
owed by Sellers or their Affiliates to Minority Equity Holders, any third party or any Acquired Company (collectively, the “Minority Equity Holder Rights”); provided, however, that Sellers agree to use their
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such waivers as may be deemed necessary, in Sellers’ sole discretion, to prevent any breach or violation of any confidentiality provisions contained in any Minority Equity Agreement or any third party
agreement as may be caused by the compliance by Sellers with this Section 6.2(a)), (D) provide access to personnel records of the Acquired Companies relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other similar
information regarding specific individuals which, in Sellers’ good faith opinion, is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject Sellers or the Acquired Companies to risk of liability under the terms of any applicable agreement with such
specific individuals or applicable Law, (E) provide such access after normal business hours, (F) provide access to any marketing strategies or customer segmentation relating to any Acquired Company which primarily operates in any country in which
Purchaser and its Affiliates own, operate, manage or control any entity which may reasonably be deemed to compete with such Acquired Company, and (G) provide such access for more than a reasonable period (which will not, in any event, be more than
thirty (30) days with respect to access to any data room containing documents relating to any Acquired Company and ten (10) Business Days with respect to all other information not contained in any data room or any facilities or personnel). Sellers
agree that all such access and information relating to any Acquired Company other than an Operating Company shall be made available to Purchaser in Atlanta, Georgia. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all such access and information derived
therefrom will be deemed Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth herein and to the Confidentiality Agreement. 
  
 (b) Purchaser may (to the extent not in violation of confidentiality restrictions, applicable Law or Minority Equity Holder Rights binding upon the
Acquired Companies) pursue a due diligence inquiry with regard to the Acquired Companies as follows: (i) reviewing documents and other information to be represented to in the Additional Representations Certificates, including any documents and
information scheduled as exceptions to the representations contained in any Additional Representations Certificate; it being understood that (A) the Acquired Companies need not provide any such information that is not material (with respect to any
representations in the Additional Representations Certificate that contain a specific threshold amount, such amount shall be considered to be the materiality cut-off) and (B) certain confidential information required to be kept confidential under
any Contract or applicable Law (such as the names of customers) may be removed, summarized or otherwise kept confidential and (ii) Seller-organized meetings with the officers and/or independent auditors of the Acquired Companies, it being understood
that all such meetings shall be coordinated with the Seller Representative and that the Seller Representative shall have the right to participate in each such 

  

 42 








 
meeting and/or designate one or more other Person(s) to do so in its place. As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Sellers will, subject to
the limitations described in Section 6.2(a), contact and direct the Acquired Companies to prepare for such due diligence inquiries. Purchaser shall have the right to commence its due diligence inquiry on the date that Seller Representative
delivers the Additional Representations Certificates to Purchaser and provides Purchaser with access to the important facilities and properties (the “Due Diligence Commencement Date”), and thereafter Purchaser will be permitted to
pursue such due diligence through the thirty (30) days commencing on and immediately following the Due Diligence Commencement Date (the thirtieth (30th) day following the Due Diligence Commencement Date being the “Due Diligence Expiration Date”). 
  

6.3 Additional Representations Certificate. 
  
 (a) Subject to the Minority Equity Holder Rights, Sellers shall, and shall cause each Operating Company set forth in Column 1 of Schedule II, and
Intermediate Holding Company (each, a “Certifying Operating Company”), to use best efforts to deliver to Purchaser within twenty (20) days after the date of this Agreement a certificate or, at Sellers’ discretion, certificates
signed by each Seller and each Certifying Operating Company, setting forth the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C attached hereto with any exceptions necessary for Sellers and the Certifying Operating Companies to make such
representations and warranties, which exceptions shall be set forth on schedules attached to such certificate and with any changes to the actual language of the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C that any of Sellers’
or the Certifying Operating Companies’ local counsel practicing law in any country in the Territory shall recommend in order to make the actual language of such representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C appropriate for the
Certifying Operating Company (or any Acquired Companies owned by any such Acquired Company) and any country in the Territory (the “Additional Representations Certificate”). Subject to the Minority Equity Holder Rights, Sellers shall
instruct the chief executive officer, president, general manager or other equivalent officer and the chief financial officer, treasurer, comptroller or other equivalent officer of each Seller, and to the extent that any Certifying Operating Company
is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Seller, each such Certifying Operating Acquired Company to execute the Additional Representations Certificate with respect to or on behalf of such Certifying Operating Company, which certification will confirm
that such officers, in their capacity as officers, to their knowledge, believe the statements therein to be true, correct and complete. The representations and warranties made by Sellers in the Additional Representations Certificate delivered to
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) shall be deemed to supplement the representations and warranties made by Sellers in Article IV hereof with respect to the Acquired Companies, and shall be deemed to be representations and
warranties of the Sellers as of the date the Additional Representations Certificate is delivered. 
  
 (b) No later than ten (10) days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser a statement
setting forth in reasonable detail Sellers’ determination of the amount of the Acquired Companies Loss Contingencies Reserves and the Acquired Companies’ Impairment Losses (“Sellers Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses
Amount”). No later than ten (10) Business Days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Sellers a statement setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s determination of what the
amount of the Acquired Companies Loss 

  

 43 








 
Contingencies Reserves and the Acquired Companies’ Impairment Losses should be, if measured as of the Due Diligence Expiration Date, accompanied by any
supporting documentation as Sellers may reasonably request (“Purchaser Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount”). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchaser Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount, the
Seller Representative shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement describing its objections (if any) to the Purchaser Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount. If the Seller Representative does not raise any objections in a written
statement to Purchaser within such thirty (30)-day period, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Purchaser Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount and the Purchaser Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount shall
become final, binding and conclusive upon all parties. If the Seller Representative raises objections in a written statement to Purchaser within such thirty (30)-day period, the parties shall attempt to resolve their differences, and any written
resolution by them as to the disputed amount shall be final, binding and conclusive. If the parties cannot resolve such objection within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Purchaser of such written statement, any remaining disputes shall be
resolved by Ernst & Young LLP, or if Ernst & Young LLP declines such engagement, by another internationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers (the “Contingency Firm”). The
Contingency Firm shall be instructed to resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days after its appointment. The determination by the Contingency Firm shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall be
deemed to be the “Final Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount”. The fees and expenses of the Contingency Firm shall be borne by Sellers and Purchaser on a 50/50 basis. In the event that the Final Loss Contingencies and
Impairment Losses Amount is greater than the Sellers Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount, then Purchaser shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv) for the amount by which the Final Loss
Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount exceeds the Sellers Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses Amount (such amount, the “Loss Contingency and Impairment Losses Shortfall”). 
  
 6.4 Preservation of Business. 
  
 (a) Except as provided or contemplated by this Agreement, including
Sections 6.4(b), 6.4(c) and 6.4(d), and as provided in the Minority Equity Agreements, from the date of this Agreement until the applicable Closing Date relating to such Acquired Company, Sellers shall cause the Acquired
Companies to operate their Businesses in the ordinary course of business and in a manner generally consistent with past practice and in general conformity with the 2004 budget for the Operating Companies on a combined basis included in Schedule
6.4(a) (the “2004 Budget”) subject to the general assumptions relating to the 2004 Budget, currency fluctuations and restrictions or controls and prudent business judgment. From and after the date hereof, Sellers will provide to
Purchaser a monthly management report describing the performance of such Operating Company, including in relation to the 2004 Budget, which Purchaser agrees and acknowledges will be Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality provisions
set forth herein and in the Confidentiality Agreement. Sellers or the Acquired Companies make no representations or warranties, whether express or implied, as to the performance of, or any projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements
relating to, any Acquired Company and there is no assurance that any projection or forecast results will be achieved. In addition, from and after the date of this Agreement until the applicable Closing Date, and except as provided or

 48 








 
best efforts to obtain all consents, approvals, certificates and other documents required in connection with the performance by it of this Agreement and its
Related Agreements and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each Seller shall and, subject to applicable Law and the Minority Equity Holder Rights, shall cause each Acquired Company to, promptly make all
filings, applications, statements and reports to all Governmental Authorities and other Persons that are required to be made prior to the applicable Closing Date with respect to such Acquired Company by or on behalf of Sellers or the Acquired

connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) in keeping the other party apprised of communications to or from Governmental Authorities; with respect to the submission, prosecution or obtaining of the Required Regulatory
Approvals; (iv) in the prompt notification and meeting with any appropriate Governmental Authority; and (v) in seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents or waivers or to make any such filings subject with respect to each of clause (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv), in the case of Sellers, to the Minority Equity Holder Rights. No party hereto shall (and Purchaser shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to) consummate another transaction or enter into an agreement with respect to another
transaction or take any other action if the intent or reasonably anticipated consequence of such transaction or action is, or would be, to cause any Governmental Authority not to grant approval of any Required Regulatory Approval or materially delay
either such approval or the consummation of the assignment or transfer of control of the Communications Licenses. In addition, if required by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, Purchaser shall and, if applicable, shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, take or accept one or more Actions of Divestiture in order to resolve with the minimum practicable delay any objections such authority may have to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable Laws;
provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to take or accept (or cause any of its Subsidiaries to take or accept) any such Actions of Divestiture with regard to the Argentinian Acquired Company or the Chilean Acquired
Company if the Action of Divestiture Fair Value of all of the Actions of Divestiture required by any final and nonappealable Governmental Order in connection with the Argentinian 

  

 49 








 
Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company exceeds, in the aggregate, the threshold set forth in Schedule 6.5(b) (the “Action of
Divestiture Threshold”); provided, however, that, in each case, any adverse economic consequences with respect to any synergies, cost reductions or benefits from (or any synergies, cost reductions or benefits expected or
anticipated to result from) from the combination or consolidation of Purchaser and its Affiliates with one or more Acquired Companies and its businesses and operations shall be disregarded in connection with such determination. For the avoidance of
doubt, in addition to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in the preceding sentence, with respect to the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all steps necessary
to obtain as soon as practicable the Required Regulatory Approvals and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the purchase of the Sellers Equity Interests in the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired
Company), which steps shall include taking or accepting any and all Actions of Divestiture requested by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company to the extent that the Action of
Divestiture Fair Value of such Actions of Divestiture does not exceed, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold; provided, however, that in the event the Action of Divestiture Fair Value of such Actions of Divestiture
required by final and nonappealable Governmental Orders would exceed, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold, subject to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in the next sentence, Purchaser shall have no obligation to take or accept
Actions of Divestiture with respect to either the Argentinian Acquired Company or the Chilean Acquired Company and shall have no obligation to purchase the Sellers Equity Interests in either the Argentinian Acquired Company or the Chilean Acquired
Company, provided that, in such event, Purchaser may, at its option, elect to take or accept the required Actions of Divestiture in connection with, and purchase the Sellers Equity Interests of, either or both of the Argentinian Acquired
Company or the Chilean Acquired Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the Action of Divestiture Fair Value of the Actions of Divestiture required by any Governmental Order with respect to
the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exceeds, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold, Purchaser and Sellers agree that they shall
nonetheless use best efforts to appeal such requests and/or Governmental Orders (including taking any and all actions contemplated by Section 6.29(a)) in order to eliminate the Actions of Divestiture and/or reduce the Action of Divestiture
Fair Value with respect to such Actions of Divestiture below the Action of Divestiture Threshold. 
  
 (c) As soon as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the date upon which the parties reasonably determine in good faith
that the Governmental Authorities in Argentina and Chile have issued final and nonappealable Governmental Orders determining all Actions of Divestiture, if any, required to be taken or accepted in connection with the Argentinian Acquired Company and
the Chilean Acquired Company, in the event that Purchaser claims or asserts that such Actions of Divestiture have an Action of Divestiture Fair Value that would exceed, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold, the parties shall retain
the Valuation Firm and instruct the Valuation Firm to determine the Action of Divestiture Fair Value of all such required Actions of Divestiture no later than the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of such Valuation Firm’s retention.
The Valuation Firm’s final determination of the Action of Divestiture Fair Value shall be set forth in a detailed written report that describes the methodology, procedures and assumptions used in making such determination 

  

 50 








 
(which methodology, procedures and assumptions shall be consistent with the applicable terms of this Agreement), and such determination shall be conclusive
and binding upon all parties. The parties agree to promptly provide to the Valuation Firm all information reasonably requested by the Valuation Firm to assist it in making such determination. The fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be
shared equally between Sellers and Purchaser. 
  
 (d) In the event
that, solely with respect to the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company, an Action of Divestiture is not required to be taken or accepted pursuant to Section 6.5(b), because the Action of Divestiture Fair Value of the
required Actions of Divestiture exceeds, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold, then each of the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company shall be deemed to be a “Retained Company” (unless and to
the extent Purchaser elects to take or accept all required Actions of Divestiture in connection with either or both of the Argentinian Acquired Company or the Chilean Acquired Company notwithstanding the fact that the Action of Divestiture Threshold
has been exceeded and, following the applicable Retained Company Determination Date, (i) the parties shall nevertheless be obligated to consummate the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing and the other transactions contemplated pursuant to
this Agreement except with respect to any such Retained Company (or any Section 6.29 Retained Company or ROFR Company), (ii) the applicable Seller will retain and continue to hold and own its Seller Equity Interests or Holding Company Equity
Interests relating to, and any Sellers Stockholder Debt with regard to, any such Retained Company, (iii) the Sellers Equity Interests of any such Retained Company shall be deemed to be excluded from the definition of “Sellers Equity
Interests” and “Holding Company Equity Interests” for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) no representations or warranties shall be deemed to have been made by Sellers with respect to any such Retained Company. For the avoidance
of doubt, from and after the Retained Company Determination Date with respect to any Retained Company, Sections 6.5 and 6.6 and Article III, as well as any other provisions that would otherwise reasonably be interpreted to treat
such Retained Company as an Acquired Company whose Sellers Equity Interests are being transferred directly or indirectly pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will no longer be applicable to such Retained Company;
provided, that Sections 6.8 and 6.28, as well as the Confidentiality Agreement, will continue to be applicable to all Retained Companies. 
  

6.6 Applications in Respect of Communications Licenses. Notwithstanding the general timing requirements set forth in Section 6.5(b), as
promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and in any event within thirty (30) Days thereafter, Purchaser shall (or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to) prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative
Purchaser’s completed portion of all appropriate applications for approval by each relevant Governmental Authority, and such other documents as may be required, with respect to the assignment or transfer of control of each of the Communications
Licenses, the Network Facilities and/or the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “License Applications”). As promptly as practicable after its receipt thereof, and in any event within thirty (30) Days thereafter, Sellers shall,
subject to the Minority Equity Holder Rights, cause each Acquired Company to prepare and deliver to Purchaser its completed portion of all appropriate License Applications. As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the parties shall file, or cause to be filed, the License Applications, subject, in the case of the Sellers, to the Minority Equity Holder Rights. If an Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing shall not have occurred for any reason within any
applicable initial consummation period set forth in the 

  

 51 








 
grant of the License Applications with respect to any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company, and neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have
terminated this Agreement prior to the Initial Closing Date pursuant to Article IX, Purchaser and Sellers (or the applicable Initial Acquired Company or the applicable Subsequent Acquired Company) shall jointly request one or more extensions
of the consummation period set forth in such grant. 
  
 6.7
Acquired Company Debt; Intercompany Debt; Intercompany Payables. 
  
 (a) Subject to any agreement with the lenders of an Acquired Company reached in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.40, Purchaser agrees to satisfy, pay, discharge or otherwise acquire or cause to be satisfied, paid,
discharged or otherwise acquired the full amount of all Pay-Off Debt of (i) each Initial Acquired Company prior to or at the Initial Closing and (ii) each Subsequent Acquired Company that is the subject of a Subsequent Closing, if any, prior to or
at the applicable Subsequent Closing; provided, that if any Pay-Off Debt that has a BellSouth Guarantee is acquired, such BellSouth Guarantee and all other obligations of the BellSouth Entities with respect to such Pay-Off Debt shall be
terminated in full by no later than the applicable Closing. 
  
 (b) Purchaser agrees to cause the Acquired Companies to satisfy, pay, discharge or otherwise cause to be satisfied, paid, or discharged the full amount of all (i) Intercompany Debt of each Initial Acquired Company prior to or at the Initial
Closing except to the extent the creditor under the Intercompany Debt is an Initial Acquired Company and (ii) Intercompany Debt of each Subsequent Acquired Company that is the subject of a Subsequent Closing, if any, prior to or at the Subsequent
Closing to the extent the creditor under the Intercompany Debt is not an Initial Acquired Company or a Subsequent Acquired Company that is the subject of such Subsequent Closing or any earlier Subsequent Closing; provided, however,
that in the event any such Initial Acquired Company or any such Subsequent Acquired Company does not have the funds necessary to satisfy, pay, or discharge the amounts due and payable with respect to such Intercompany Debt or is otherwise prohibited
from satisfying, paying or discharging such amounts as a result of any senior Debt, then Purchaser shall satisfy, pay, discharge or otherwise cause to be satisfied, paid or discharged any such amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.7(b).

  
 (c) Sellers agree to cause any Non-Transferred Company to
satisfy, pay, discharge or otherwise cause to be satisfied, paid, or discharged the full amount of all (i) Intercompany Debt of each Non-Transferred Company (that has been deemed to be a Non-Transferred Company prior to or at the Initial Closing)
that is payable to any Initial Acquired Company prior to or at the Initial Closing, (ii) Intercompany Debt of each Non-Transferred Company (that has been deemed to be a Non-Transferred Company prior to or at any Subsequent Closing) that is payable
to any Subsequent Acquired Company that is the subject of such Subsequent Closing prior to or at such Subsequent Closing and (iii) Intercompany Debt of each Non-Transferred Company (that was not deemed to be a Non-Transferred Company prior to or at
the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing) that is payable to an Acquired Company no later than ten (10) Business Days after the determination that such entity is a Non-Transferred Company; provided, however, that in the event any
such Non-Transferred Company does not have the funds necessary to satisfy, pay or discharge the amounts due and payable with respect to such Intercompany Debt or is otherwise prohibited from satisfying, paying or discharging such amounts as a result
of any 

  

 52 








 
senior Debt, then Sellers shall purchase the Intercompany Debt Receivable from the applicable Acquired Company. 
  
 (d) Prior to or at the Initial Closing, (i) each Initial Acquired Company
will pay in cash the full amount of all Intercompany Payables of such Initial Acquired Company that are payable to any Acquired Company (other than an Initial Acquired Company) and (ii) each Acquired Company (other than an Initial Acquired Company)
will pay in cash the full amount of all Intercompany Payables of such Acquired Company that are payable to any Initial Acquired Company. Prior to or at any Subsequent Closing, (A) each Subsequent Acquired Company will pay in cash the full amount of
all Intercompany Payables of such Subsequent Acquired Company that are payable to any Acquired Company (other than any Initial Acquired Company or any Subsequent Acquired Company that is the subject of the same Subsequent Closing) and (B) each
Acquired Company (other than an Initial Acquired Company or any Subsequent Acquired Company that is the subject of such Subsequent Closing) will pay in cash the full amount of all Intercompany Payables of such Acquired Company that are payable to
any Subsequent Acquired Company that is the subject of such Subsequent Closing. 
  
 (e) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or directed by Sellers in their sole discretion, Sellers will cause to be paid on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, or any Subsequent Closing Date, if
applicable, any and all amounts owed or payable as of such Closing by any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company to any BellSouth Entity, including any amounts payable pursuant to Sections 6.10 and 6.13 or pursuant to
the Technical Services Agreements; provided, however, that in the event any such Initial Acquired Company or any such Subsequent Acquired Company does not have the funds necessary to satisfy, pay, or discharge the amounts due and
payable to any BellSouth Entity or is otherwise prohibited from satisfying, paying or discharging such amounts as a result of any Debt or other restriction, then Purchaser shall satisfy, pay, discharge or otherwise cause to be satisfied, paid or
discharged any such amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.7(e). In addition, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or directed by Purchaser in its sole discretion, Seller Parent will cause any BellSouth Entity to pay
on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, or any Subsequent Closing Date, if applicable, any and all amounts owed by the BellSouth Entities to any such Initial Acquired Company or any such Subsequently Acquired Company, including any amounts payable
pursuant to Sections 6.10 or 6.13 or pursuant to the Technical Services Agreement. 
  
 6.8 Confidentiality. 
  
 (a) Purchaser acknowledges that the access and information being provided to it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is
subject to the terms of the Information Exchange Agreement, dated May 22, 2003, between Seller Parent and Purchaser (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Purchaser further agrees
that from and after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their Representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose all confidential information described in the Confidentiality Agreement and all other
information relating to BellSouth Entities or the Acquired Companies (“Confidential Information”), and shall not directly or indirectly use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX, Purchaser’s obligation to keep such Confidential Information 

  

 53 








 
confidential shall continue indefinitely from the date of termination, but shall not apply to any information which (i) is in the public domain, (ii) is
published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their Representatives, (iii) becomes available to Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of their Representatives on a
non-confidential basis from a source that did not acquire such information (directly or indirectly) from Sellers or Purchaser on a confidential basis or (iv) is required to be disclosed by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements
of applicable Law or any Governmental Authority (including in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby of Governmental Authorities). 
  
 (b) Effective upon, and only upon, the Final Closing, the Confidentiality
Agreement shall terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges that any and all other information provided to it by Sellers or Sellers’
representatives concerning Sellers and their Affiliates shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Final Closing and Purchaser and each of the Acquired Companies shall be subject to a Technical
Information Confidentiality Agreement. 
  
 (c) In the event that
this Agreement is terminated for any reason, promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days) following such termination, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, (i) return to Sellers all Confidential Information
(and all copies, reproductions or extracts of Confidential Information) furnished to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives by or on behalf of Sellers or the Acquired Companies or have an executive officer of Purchaser certify to Sellers
that all copies, reproductions or extracts have been destroyed and (ii) destroy all Confidential Information prepared by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives that contains, or reflects or is based upon, in whole or in part, information
furnished to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives by or on behalf of Sellers or the Acquired Companies; provided, however, that copies of such information may be maintained solely to the extent reasonably required to support
the basis for such termination. Such destruction shall be certified in writing to the Seller Representative by each of an executive officer of Purchaser and an authorized officer of Purchaser supervising such destruction. Notwithstanding the return
or destruction of the Confidential Information, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations of confidentiality and other obligations under this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement. 

 
 (d) In the event that there is a Closing under this Agreement and (i) the
Argentinian Acquired Company or the Chilean Acquired Company becomes a Retained Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and/or (ii) any Acquired Company becomes a Section 6.29 Retained Company or a ROFR Company, then promptly (but in any
event no later than five (5) Business Days) following the determination that any such Acquired Company has become a Retained Company, a Section 6.29 Retained Company or a ROFR Company, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, (i)
return to Sellers all Confidential Information relating to any such Retained Company, Section 6.29 Retained Company or ROFR Company (and all copies, reproductions or extracts of such Confidential Information) furnished to Purchaser and
Purchaser’s Representatives by or on behalf of Sellers or any Retained Company, Section 6.29 Retained Company or ROFR Company and (ii) destroy all such Confidential Information prepared by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives that
contains, or reflects or is based upon, 

  

 54 








 
in whole or in part, information furnished to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives by or on behalf of Sellers or any Retained Company, Section 6.29
Retained Company or ROFR Company. Such destruction shall be certified in writing to the Seller Representative by each of the chief executive officer of Purchaser and an authorized officer of Purchaser supervising such destruction. Notwithstanding
the return or destruction of such Confidential Information, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations of confidentiality and other obligations under this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.

  
 (e) For a two (2) year period commencing on the applicable
Closing Date with respect to each Acquired Company, each of the applicable Seller, Seller Parent and the BellSouth Entities will, and will use best efforts to cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors to, maintain in
confidence and not use for any purpose any confidential information, whether written or oral, which was obtained from or on behalf of such Acquired Company regarding the financial position, mode of operation, suppliers, customers or the Business as
carried on by the Acquired Companies, nor any of the technical information, trade secrets or know-how belonging to such Acquired Companies, unless such information (i) is in the public domain, (ii) is published or otherwise becomes part of the
public domain through no fault of Sellers, Seller Parent, the BellSouth Entities or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, (iii) becomes available to Sellers, Seller Parent or the BellSouth Entities or any of their respective
Affiliates or Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source that did not acquire such information (directly or indirectly) from Sellers, Seller Parent or the BellSouth Entities, (iv) was originally provided by or independently developed
by the Sellers, Seller Parent or the BellSouth Entities or (v) is required to be disclosed by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of applicable Law or any Governmental Authority. 
  
 6.9 Resignation of Directors. On each Closing Date, Sellers shall
cause to be delivered to Purchaser duly signed resignations in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, effective immediately after the applicable Closing, of all directors (or equivalent decision-making Persons) of the Acquired Companies that are
the subject of the applicable Closing who are officers or employees of any BellSouth Entity, but not employees of such Acquired Companies and shall take such other action as is necessary to accomplish the foregoing. In connection therewith, Sellers
shall cause any such resigning directors to return or transfer any director qualifying or similar shares in relation to any such Acquired Company to the relevant Acquired Company or any other person designated in writing by Purchaser. 
  
 6.10 No Further Financial Obligations. Purchaser acknowledges that in
the course of conduct by the Acquired Companies of their respective businesses, the BellSouth Entities have entered into, or, between the date of this Agreement and the Final Closing Date, may enter into, various arrangements in which (a) guarantees
or similar obligations were issued by one or more of the BellSouth Entities and/or (b) one or more of the BellSouth Entities is the primary obligor(s) on other agreements, in any such case to support or facilitate business transactions or programs
of the Acquired Companies. The arrangements referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) are hereinafter referred to as the “BellSouth Guarantees”. The BellSouth Guarantees that are in existence as of the date hereof (or that,
as of the date hereof, are contemplated to be put in place at a later date) are set forth on Schedule 6.10. As of the applicable Closing, Purchaser will either cause the BellSouth Guarantees relating to the Acquired Company that is the
subject of such Closing to be terminated so that the BellSouth Entities will be released and discharged from 

  

 55 








 
any further obligations or liabilities thereunder or, if Purchaser is unable to obtain such releases, Purchaser will cause the Debt related to the BellSouth
Guarantees to be prepaid and such BellSouth Guarantees to be canceled. 
  
 6.11 Brokers. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the Initial Closing shall occur, (a) Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates against, and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless from, any and all
liability for any brokers’ or finders’ fees or other commissions arising with respect to brokers or finders retained or engaged by Sellers or any of their Affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b)
Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers and their Affiliates against, and hold Sellers and their Affiliates harmless from, any and all liability for any brokers’ or finders’ fees or other commissions arising with respect to brokers or finders
retained or engaged by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 6.12 Preservation of Books and Records; Access. 
  
 (a) For a period of seven years after the Final Closing Date or such other period required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall preserve and retain, or
cause the Initial Acquired Companies and the Subsequent Acquired Companies, if any, to preserve and retain, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records of each applicable Acquired Company (including any
documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations) relating to the conduct of the business and operations of the particular Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company prior
to the applicable Closing Date for such Acquired Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such seven-year period, Purchaser may dispose of any such books and records which are offered to, but not accepted by, the Seller Representative. If at
any time after such seven-year period Purchaser intends to dispose of any such books and records, Purchaser shall not do so without first offering such books and records to the Seller Representative. The provisions of this Section 6.12(a)
shall cease to apply in the event of a sale or disposition of any Acquired Company by Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall cause the subsequent owner(s) of such Acquired Company to assume the obligations of Purchaser set
forth in this Section 6.12. 
  
 (b) After the applicable
Closing Date, subject to any confidentiality provision of any Minority Equity Agreement that continues in existence following the applicable Closing Date (provided, that Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such
waivers as Purchaser may deem necessary to prevent any breach or violation of any confidentiality provisions contained in any such Minority Equity Agreement as may be caused by the compliance by Purchaser with this Section 6.12(b)), Purchaser
shall cause each Initial Acquired Company and Subsequent Acquired Company, if any, to permit Sellers and their Representatives to have reasonable access to, and to inspect at Sellers’ expense, all books and records referred to in Section
6.12(a) in the event of any litigation, arbitration or dispute or any threatened litigation, arbitration or dispute, insurance matters, tax filings, accounting and financial reporting of the Sellers and their Affiliates, and to meet with
officers and employees of Purchaser and any such Acquired Company as may reasonably be requested by Sellers on a mutually convenient basis in order to obtain explanations with respect to such books and records and to obtain additional information
and to call such officers and employees as witnesses. 
  

 56 








 (c) The parties agree and confirm that to the extent the books and records described in this Section
6.12 relate to Seller Parent and do not fall under the exceptions described in Section 6.8(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), such books and records shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Seller Parent and shall be within the
Seller Parent Confidential Information covered by the Technical Information Confidentiality Agreements. 
  
 6.13 Employees; Employee Benefit Plans. 
  
 (a) Purchaser shall cause each of the Initial Acquired Companies and Subsequent Acquired Companies, if any, to employ on the applicable Closing Date or
continue to employ on the applicable Closing Date all of the employees of such Acquired Company (as applied to any such Acquired Company, “Continuing Employees”) on terms and conditions of employment, including pay levels, job
descriptions and benefits, that are substantially similar in all material respects either (i) to the terms and conditions of employment immediately prior to the Closing Date or (ii) to the terms and conditions of employment that apply to similarly
situated employees of Purchaser. The foregoing covenant of Purchaser shall not restrict or limit in any manner Purchaser’s management of the business of the Initial Acquired Companies or Subsequent Acquired Companies, if any, after the
applicable Closing nor require Purchaser to retain any Continuing Employee for any period of time after the applicable Closing Date or to maintain any particular pay levels, job descriptions or benefits or other terms and conditions of employment
for them; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all notices, liabilities, costs, payments and expenses arising from any action by Purchaser (including breach of contract, defamation or retaliatory
discharge) regarding any employee of an Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company, if any, or any Continuing Employee, including any such liability (i) under any applicable Law that relates to employees, employee benefit matters or
labor matters, (ii) for dismissal, wrongful termination or constructive dismissal or termination, or severance pay or other termination pay, or (iii) under or with respect to any benefit plan, program, contract, policy, commitment or arrangement of
the Acquired Companies, including the Retention Plans maintained by the Acquired Companies (collectively, “Employee Benefit Plans”) or under and with respect to the Retention Plans (other than those maintained by the Acquired
Companies) to the extent such Retention Plans provide payments or benefits with respect to any Continuing Employee; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be responsible for any costs, payments or expenses under or with respect to
the Retention Plans to the extent that such costs, payments and/or expenses exceed, in the aggregate, Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), subject to reductions, if any, pursuant to the terms of the Retention Plans. 
  
 (b) Prior to the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser may notify Seller Parent
that Purchaser desires to make employment offers, effective as of the applicable Closing Date, to certain identified employees of the BellSouth Entities who provide services with respect to any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired
Company, if any, and shall provide Seller Parent with a list of such individuals. If Seller Parent consents thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Purchaser shall be entitled to make such offers of employment and Seller Parent
shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, provide Purchaser with reasonable access to such employees for purposes of making the employment offers; provided, however, that if any employee for whom Purchaser desires to make an
employment offer also provides services with respect to any Acquired Company that is not the subject of the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, Sellers Parent’s refusal to consent to such employment offer shall not 

  

 57 








 
be deemed unreasonable. Any person who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment made pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be treated as a Continuing
Employee for purposes of this Section 6.13. 
  
 (c) Subject
to Section 6.5(d), after the applicable Closing Date, Sellers shall be responsible for all relocation costs arising as a result of returning to their home country any expatriates or impatriates (other than those who are Continuing Employees)
who, immediately prior to the applicable Closing Date, provide services to an Acquired Company that is the subject of a Closing Date, including severance payments. The applicable Acquired Company agrees to honor, perform and be liable for, and, to
the extent necessary, assume, all obligations, if any, with respect to retention bonuses under the Retention Plans payable to or on behalf of those persons described in the preceding sentence, including, for this purpose, those persons who are
Continuing Employees. 
  
 (d) After the applicable Closing Date,
Purchaser agrees that each Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company, if any, or Purchaser shall honor, pay, perform and be liable for and, to the extent applicable, shall assume, (i) all obligations and liabilities under and with
respect to all Employee Benefit Plans, (ii) all benefits and payments to, or with respect to, employees or former employees required under applicable Law, including the workers’ compensation and other obligations of such Acquired Company under
labor and employment Laws, (iii) all Tax equalization, reimbursements, retention and similar charges and costs, and all other liabilities related to expatriates who, at the direction of the BellSouth Entities, worked for or provided services to such
Acquired Companies (including all liabilities and obligations for retention bonuses under the Retention Plans) and (iv) all liabilities and obligations under and with respect to the employment agreements set forth on Schedule 6.13(d). If
Sellers pay any amounts described in clause (iii) of this Section 6.13(d), Purchaser shall, or shall cause the applicable Acquired Company for which the expatriate provided services immediately prior to the applicable Closing Date to,
reimburse Sellers for such amounts. 
  
 (e) It is understood and
agreed that all provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to employee benefit plans or employee compensation are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and do not and shall not create any right in any other Person,
including any participant in any Employee Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit or compensation plan or any beneficiary thereof or any employee or former employee of any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company, if any.

  
 6.14 Litigation Control and Cooperation. Purchaser
agrees that with respect to any litigation matters with respect to which Sellers and their Affiliates are subject or liable, Sellers and their Affiliates shall continue to control the prosecution, defense and/or settlement and all other
administrative aspects thereof following the applicable Closing Date with respect to which an Acquired Company is involved in any such litigation matter, including the Venezuelan Arbitration, the Peruvian Arbitration and the matter referred to in
Section 10.2(a)(viii) (collectively the “Litigation Matters”), Purchaser will promptly provide, and cause all applicable Acquired Companies to provide, all support and cooperation reasonably requested by Sellers in connection
with any claims, counterclaims, defenses, settlements, compromises or other actions with regard to such Litigation Matters and any related claims, suits, actions or proceedings (provided that Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for
Purchaser’s reasonable and documented out- 

  

 58 








 
of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing such support and cooperation), including (a) providing access to the books, records,
documents and information of the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates, as provided in more detail in Section 6.12, (b) providing for full access and availability of their officers, employees, representatives, agents and other
personnel, including instructing and causing them to comply with this Section 6.14 and to be available to provide interviews, testimony, affidavits and otherwise participate in such proceedings in compliance with this Section 6.14, (c)
entering into confidentiality, joint defense or similar agreements with Sellers and/or their Affiliates and (d) entering into, executing or acknowledging any compromises, settlements or other resolutions of the Litigation Matters, so long as such
resolutions do not require Purchaser or any Affiliate to agree to, or impose on Purchaser or any Affiliate, any restrictions on their business activities or pay damages or suffer other financial consequences not fully indemnified by Sellers.

  
 6.15 Liability Insurance; Directors’ and
Officers’ Insurance. 
  
 (a) During the five (5) year
period following the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause each Acquired Company to continue to maintain product liability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, employer’s liability insurance and other liability insurance
(on an occurrence basis) in amounts and with coverage substantially similar to that maintained by such Acquired Company or by any Affiliate of such Acquired Company on behalf of such Acquired Company prior to the applicable Closing Date. Purchaser
shall cause all policies for such insurance to include a waiver by the insurer of any subrogation rights against Sellers and their Affiliates. 
  
 (b) For a period of five (5) years from the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause each Acquired Company: (i) to maintain run-off directors’
and officers’ liability insurance policies for the past and current officers and directors of such Acquired Company who are employees or attorneys (in their capacity as agent) of any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller or of any Minority
Equity Holder that sells its Minority Equity Interests to Purchaser directly or indirectly in accordance with this Agreement on the applicable Closing Date or who were employees of any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller at any time prior to the
applicable Closing Date with terms and coverage amounts at least as favorable as the terms and coverage amounts of the directors’ and officers’ insurance, if, and only to the extent that, any such policy exists on the date of this
Agreement, applicable to such past and current officers and directors as of the date hereof; provided, however, that Purchaser or any Acquired Company shall not be required to pay an annual premium in excess of the last annual premium
paid by the Sellers or such Acquired Company prior to the date hereof and, if Purchaser or such Acquired Company is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 6.15, it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the
annual premium equal to such maximum amount and (ii) not to amend any Acquired Company Organizational Documents relating to such Acquired Company in any way to reduce or eliminate the level of indemnification provided by such Acquired Company to
such past and current officers and directors of such Acquired Company. 
  
 6.16 Support Services. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers shall have no obligation to provide any support or other services to any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company as of the applicable Closing with respect to
such Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company, other than transition services, subject to such related terms, 

  

 59 








 
conditions, fees, reimbursements and other provisions as Purchaser and Sellers will discuss and negotiate in a good faith and reasonable manner, taking
appropriate consideration of the practices and requirements of the Business, and which will be reflected in a transition services agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance, to Purchaser and Sellers, and finally agreed by them by the
Due Diligence Expiration Date, at which time, such transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) will be deemed to be part of this Agreement and will be entered into by the parties at such applicable Closing.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the Transition Services Agreement shall provide that (a) for any period during which a person provides services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser
shall reimburse Sellers or their Affiliates for all costs incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates with respect to the continuing employment of such person, including, but not limited to, benefit costs and contributions, fringe rates, wages, bonuses,
vacation pay, employment taxes, and if any person who provides services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement is covered by a Retention Plan, Purchaser shall be obligated for reimbursing Sellers and their Affiliates under the Transition
Services Agreement for all costs and expenses incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates under the Retention Plan and (b) Sellers and their Affiliates shall be indemnified and held harmless from any and all Losses arising out of or related to the
services provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement or the continued employment of persons providing services thereunder, including any services provided by expatriates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
6.16, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retain the employees that are to provide the services under the Transition Services Agreement; provided, however, that if Sellers are not able to retain one or more
employees necessary to provide any service under the Transition Services Agreement, then Sellers shall not be responsible for providing such service or services as provided in the Transition Services Agreement. In addition, the Transition Services
Agreement shall grant licenses to Seller Parent for software or technology that is owned by an Acquired Company and which Seller Parent identifies within twenty (20) days of the date hereof as being useful for the Seller Parent or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate after the applicable Closing Date; provided, however, that no Acquired Company, Subsidiary of an Acquired Company nor Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for payment of any penalties resulting from early
termination of such agreements. 
  
 6.17 Seller Parent Marks. Purchaser
agrees that it shall cause each of the Initial Acquired Companies and, if any, Subsequent Acquired Companies to enter into the Transition Trademark License Agreement at the applicable Closing for such Acquired Company. Pursuant to the Transition
Trademark License Agreement, Purchaser shall cause each of the applicable Acquired Companies to: (a) as soon as practicable after the applicable Closing Date, but in no event later than one hundred and eighty (180) days following the applicable
Closing Date, cease to make any use of the Seller Parent Marks, (b) immediately after the applicable Closing Date, cease to hold itself out as having any affiliation with any Seller or Affiliates of Sellers, and (c) as soon as practicable after the

does not include any of the Seller Parent Marks and make any necessary legal filings with the appropriate Governmental Authority, as the case may be, to effect such change. In furtherance of the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after each
Closing Date, but in no event later than the applicable time limits set forth in the applicable Transition Trademark License Agreement, Purchaser shall cause the Acquired Companies that are the subject of such Closing to remove, 

  

 60 








 
strike over, permanently cover or otherwise obliterate all Seller Parent Marks from all materials owned by such Acquired Company, including, vehicles,
business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, computer software and other materials. For all removed materials which bear a Seller Parent Mark, Purchaser shall cause the Acquired
Company owning such materials to either promptly return to Seller Parent or destroy such materials in accordance with written instructions from Seller Parent, which instructions shall be requested by the Acquired Company on a case-by-case basis
covering specific types of material bearing Seller Parent Marks. The Initial Acquired Companies and the Subsequent Acquired Companies, if any, shall be solely responsible for any costs incurred in connection with compliance with this Section
6.17. 
  
 6.18 Seller Parent Technical Information.
Purchaser, Seller Parent and the Initial Acquired Companies and any Subsequent Acquired Companies will enter into a technical information confidentiality agreement, including such related terms, conditions, fees, reimbursements and other provisions
as Purchaser and Sellers will discuss and negotiate in a good faith and reasonable manner, taking appropriate consideration of the practices and requirements of the Business, and which will be reflected in a technical information confidentiality
agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance, to Purchaser and Sellers, and finally agreed by them by the Due Diligence Expiration Date, at which time, such agreement (the “Technical Information Confidentiality
Agreement”) will be deemed to be part of this Agreement and will be entered into by the applicable parties at the Initial Closing. Pursuant to the Technical Information Confidentiality Agreement, Purchaser agrees that it shall cause each of
Initial Acquired Company and Subsequent Acquired Company, if any, to: (a) as soon as practicable after the applicable Closing Date, cease to make any use of the Seller Parent Technical Information; (b) while taking steps to achieve cessation of use
of the Seller Parent Technical Information, ensure any continuing use is limited to internal use on a strictly “need to know” basis within the Acquired Companies; (c) immediately after the applicable Closing Date, cease to make any further
disclosures of the Seller Parent Technical Information to third parties or employees not already in possession of such information except on an as-needed basis and in conformity with the provisions of Section 6.8; and (d) as soon as
practicable after the applicable Closing Date with respect to any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the applicable Closing Date, return to Sellers all tangible materials
that embody or record the Seller Parent Technical Information in accordance with the return procedures set forth in the Technical Information Confidentiality Agreement and destroy any electronic records of the Seller Parent Technical Information. In
furtherance of the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after the applicable Closing Date Purchaser shall give notice to all employees of the Initial Acquired Companies and, if any, the Subsequent Acquired Companies, of the need to cease all
further use and disclosure of the Seller Parent Technical Information and of the new arrangements that Purchaser has established or is establishing to provide the employees with equivalent information from Purchaser. Such notice to employees shall
at least entail meetings with employees of an Initial Acquired Company or a Subsequent Acquired Company, if any, upon the announcement of the applicable Closing and at the completion of the steps to achieve that Acquired Company’s compliance
with this Section 6.18, which meetings shall inform the employees of their confidentiality commitments and train them on the replacement information from Purchaser. Employees shall also be sent written communications explaining that the
Seller Parent Technical Information may no longer be used and may not be disclosed to any third parties. Purchaser shall provide to Sellers a certificate of a 

  

 61 








 
senior officer of Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the applicable Closing Date confirming that Purchaser and each of the applicable Acquired
Companies have complied with their obligations under this Section 6.18. 
  
 6.19 Procurement. Purchaser agrees that it shall cause each of the Initial Acquired Companies and, if any, the Subsequent Acquired Companies immediately following the applicable Closing Date to cease to
purchase any further goods or services under purchasing arrangements or contracts made available to such Acquired Companies by Sellers or any of their Affiliates or Cingular Wireless LLC or its Affiliates and promptly to make or satisfy all
payments, reimbursements and other obligations and amounts owed to Sellers and their Affiliates in relation to such purchasing arrangements or contracts; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be responsible for any payment or other
penalty that would be payable as a result of the early termination of such purchasing arrangements or contracts other than with respect to any such payment or other penalties that may be assessed by any third party in connection with such early
termination. Purchaser and the Acquired Companies shall be solely responsible for obtaining at their expense any required transfers of or replacements for license, lease, support and maintenance agreements relating to computer hardware or software
from third party vendors, which prior to the applicable Closing were used, made available to or acquired via the Seller Parent, Sellers or multi-company purchasing arrangements involving countries outside the Territory or companies other than the
Acquired Companies. Seller Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and the Acquired Companies in this regard, for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days following the applicable Closing Date. 
  
 6.20 Removal of Business Customer Records. As soon as practicable
after each Closing but in any event no later than sixty (60) days after such Closing, Seller Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove from its records all Business Customer Records that relate to customers located in the country to
which such Closing relates. 
  
 6.21 Termination of the
Intercompany Agreements. Seller Parent shall ensure that on each Closing Date a Services Termination Letter and Trademark License Termination Letter is executed by all necessary parties to immediately terminate all Technical Services Agreements
and Seller Parent Mark License Agreements that apply to the country that is the subject of the applicable Closing. Any Technical Services Subcontract related to the Technical Services Agreements being terminated shall be assigned to Purchaser or its
designee as of the date of the applicable Services Termination Letter, but only to the extent to which Seller Parent has the right to so assign. In either event, Sellers and Purchaser will direct, instruct and cause each Acquired Company that
terminates or assigns the Technical Services Agreements and Seller Parent Mark License Agreements to pay or satisfy all payments, reimbursements and other obligations and amounts owed to Sellers and its Affiliates in relation to such Agreements.

  
 6.22 MOVICS Software Licenses. To the extent that
BellSouth International, Inc. or any other Affiliate of Seller Parent has granted any sublicenses of the MOVICS software to an Acquired Company, then as of the applicable Closing Date with respect to such Acquired Company (a) if CRM is the subject
of such Closing or any previous Closing, CRM shall assume all such sublicenses with such Acquired Company, which thereafter shall be direct agreements between CRM and such Acquired Company, and (b) if CRM is not the subject of such Closing or


  

 62 








 
any previous Closing, BellSouth International, Inc. or the applicable Affiliate of Seller Parent shall continue to grant the MOVICS sublicense to such
Acquired Company. 
  
 6.23 Transition Trademark License
Agreement. Purchaser and Seller Parent will enter into the Transition Trademark License Agreement in order to permit the Acquired Companies that are the subject of any Closing to wind down their usage of the Seller Parent Marks in conformance
with Purchaser’s covenants in Section 6.17 above. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall also ensure that on the applicable Closing Date a BIPHO Transition License Agreement (or equivalent alternative agreement) is executed to grant
sufficient rights to permit the applicable Acquired Companies to wind-down their usage of the “BELL” mark in conformance with Purchaser’s covenants in Section 6.17 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or in the Transition Trademark License Agreement, no Initial Acquired Company or any Subsequent Acquired Company shall be permitted to use (and Purchaser shall not permit any such Acquired Company to use), following the applicable Closing
relating to such Acquired Company, the Seller Parent Marks in connection with any regulatory, lobbying or public policy matter. 
  
 6.24 Assignment of Certain Trademark Rights. Within twenty (20) days of the date hereof, Seller Parent shall identify the Latin America Marks,
which shall include all of the registrations and applications set forth in Schedule 6.24. As of each Closing Date, Seller Parent shall assign and transfer to Purchaser or its designee all of Seller Parent’s right, title and interest in
all Latin America Marks that are used exclusively by any or all of the Acquired Companies that are the subject of such Closing or any earlier Closing. Seller Parent, the applicable Acquired Companies and Purchaser shall then cooperate to achieve as
soon as practicable after the applicable Closing: (a) the recordation of the assignment of the Latin America Marks and the registrations and applications pertaining thereto with all applicable Governmental Authorities or any other required filing
with applicable Governmental Authorities, and (b) to the extent necessary, sign such other documentation or papers as is necessary to confirm the ownership rights of Purchaser or its designee to the Latin America Marks.  
  
 6.25 Assignment Back of Seller Parent Intellectual Property Rights.
The parties recognize that certain Seller Parent Intellectual Property Rights may be the subject of applications to register or may be registered in the name of an Acquired Company, for example through administrative error or in breach of one or
more of the agreements with Seller Parent, BellSouth Intellectual Property Corporation, BellSouth IP Management Corporation or Bell IP Holding LLC. Within twenty (20) days of the date hereof, Seller Parent shall identify such Intellectual Property
Rights applications or registrations and provide a list of the same to Purchaser. Seller Parent, the applicable Acquired Companies and Purchaser shall then cooperate to achieve as soon as practicable either prior to or after each applicable Closing:
(a) a transfer of such registrations and applications to Seller Parent, together with all files and records pertaining to such registrations and applications, (b) the recordation of all such transfers with applicable Governmental Authorities or any
other required filing with applicable Governmental Authorities, and (c) to the extent necessary, sign such other documentation or papers as is necessary to confirm the ownership rights of Seller Parent to such Intellectual Property Rights.

  

 63 








 6.26 Non-Compete. 
  
 (a) Seller Parent and each Seller agree, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, that, for a period of two (2) years
commencing on the date of the applicable Closing, none of Seller Parent or any of the Sellers shall, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, own, operate or manage, in any country in which an Initial
Acquired Company or a Subsequent Acquired Company primarily operates as of the applicable Closing Date, any wireless telecommunication services business of the type conducted by the Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company in that
country as of the date of this Agreement (such wireless service business, in such countries, is referred to as the “Wireless Service Business”). Seller Parent and each Seller further agree, on behalf of themselves and their
respective Subsidiaries, that, for a period of two (2) years commencing on the applicable Closing Date, none of Seller Parent or any of the Sellers shall, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, allow
the “BellSouth” name to be used in or by any other present or future business enterprise in the Wireless Service Business in any country in which Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company primarily operates as of the
applicable Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser agrees that the provisions of this Section 6.26 shall not apply (i) to the Cingular Entities in any manner whatsoever and (ii) to any Non-Transferred Company. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.26(a), nothing in this
Agreement shall preclude: 
  
 (i) the direct or
indirect ownership, operation or management of any Wireless Service Business in any jurisdiction other than those jurisdictions in which an Initial Acquired Company or a Subsequent Acquired Company operates as of the Initial Closing Date or the
applicable Subsequent Closing Date, respectively; 
  
 (ii) the selling of telecommunications equipment under or in connection with the Seller Parent Marks; 
  
 (iii) the ownership by Seller Parent, Sellers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates of no more than ten percent (10%) of

Subsidiaries or Affiliates has representation on the board of directors of such Person or otherwise has the right to participate in management of such entity; 
  

(iv) the provision by Seller Parent, Sellers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates of international long distance

the business of any Retained Company or any Section 6.29 Retained Company and engaging in any activities 

  

 64 








 
consistent in scope with the activities of operating such Retained Company or such Section 6.29 Retained Company, or (B) performing its obligations as set
forth under certain of the Related Agreements; 
  
 (vi) purchases of securities or other equity interests for investment purposes by Seller Parent, Sellers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is acting as a trustee or fiduciary for the benefit of accounts managed
thereby or any other Person that is acting as a trustee or fiduciary for the benefit of accounts of employees of Seller Parent, Sellers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates; 
  
 (vii) the acquisition by Seller Parent, Sellers or any of
their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any or their investment in Person (whether through the purchase of stock or assets or by way of merger, consolidation, business combination or other transaction) engaged in the Wireless Service Business
so long as no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the revenues of the combined business is engaged in the Wireless Service Business; or 
  
 (viii) the acquisition of Seller Parent or one or more Sellers by any non-Affiliate thereof that is engaged in the Wireless Service
Business; provided that, the acquisition of Seller Parent or one or more Sellers shall not terminate the obligations of Seller Parent, Sellers and their respective Subsidiaries set forth in Section 6.26(a), except that such obligation
shall be limited to the Subsidiaries of Seller Parent or any Seller who are Subsidiaries of Seller Parent or any Seller immediately prior to such acquisition. 
  

6.27 Third Party Marketing and Supply Agreements. Prior to the applicable Closing Date, each Seller shall cause each Acquired Company that is
the subject of any Closing to terminate all marketing, supply and other similar agreements between such Acquired Company and any third parties that are dependent on rights to use Seller Parent Marks. 
  
 6.28 Contacts with Employees, Customers and Certain Persons.

  
 (a) From the date of this Agreement until the applicable
Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Sellers, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives or any other Person on its behalf to, directly or indirectly, contact, solicit, communicate with (whether orally, in
writing or in any other manner) or otherwise engage in any discussions or communications with, or attempt to contact, solicit, communicate or otherwise engage in any discussions or communications with, any employees, customers, creditors, lenders,
noteholders, agents or participants in the distribution channel (including distributors and resellers) of, any Acquired Company in connection with or pertaining to any subject matter of this Agreement, including future employment, consulting,
creditor, lender, agency or distribution relationships or the terms thereof, post-closing staffing issues, post-closing benefits matters, compensation and bonus matters, severance issues or any other matters; provided, however, that
Purchaser shall be entitled to conduct due diligence in conformity with this Agreement and conduct its business consistent with past practices. 
  
 (b) From the date of this Agreement until the applicable Closing or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement for any reason, for the two-year
period commencing on the date of 

  

 65 








 
such termination, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall, either directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, or attempt to solicit for
employment, or otherwise hire (other than pursuant to a general advertisement or other similar general solicitation within the Territory or the United States), without the prior written consent of Seller Representative, any Person who is (i) an
officer, director, senior manager or salesperson of any Acquired Company or any BellSouth Entity or (ii) any other employee, consultant, agent or participant in the distribution channel (including any distributor or reseller) of any Acquired Company
or any BellSouth Entity with whom Purchaser or any of its representatives met, were introduced to or otherwise became familiar with in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence investigation of the Acquired Companies or otherwise in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.28(b) by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, Sellers shall be entitled to an injunction restraining such
Person from any such breach. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Sellers from pursuing any other available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages. 
  
 (c) In the event that there is a Closing under this Agreement and (i) the
Argentinian Acquired Company or the Chilean Acquired Company becomes a Retained Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and/or (ii) any Acquired Company becomes a Section 6.29 Retained Company, for the two-year period commencing on date of
the determination that any such Acquired Company has become a Retained Company or a Section 6.29 Retained Company, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall, either directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, or attempt to solicit for
employment, or otherwise hire (other than pursuant to a general advertisement or other similar general solicitation within the countries where such Retained Company or Section 6.29 Retained Company operates or conducts its business), without the
prior written consent of Seller Representative, any Person who is (i) an officer, director, senior manager or salesperson of such Retained Company or Section 6.29 Retained Company or (ii) any other employee, consultant, agent or participant in the
distribution channel (including any distributor or reseller) of such Retained Company or Section 6.29 Retained Company with whom Purchaser or any of its representatives met, were introduced to or otherwise became familiar with in connection with
Purchaser’s due diligence investigation of the Acquired Companies or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.28(c) by
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, Sellers shall be entitled to an injunction restraining such Person from any such breach. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Sellers from pursuing any other available remedy for such breach or
threatened breach, including the recovery of damages. 
  
 6.29
Alternative Structure. 
  
 (a) The parties agree that in
the event issues arise that could reasonably be expected to prevent the parties from obtaining the Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals or the Required Regulatory Approvals with respect to any Acquired Company prior to the Non-Transferred
Company Determination Date with respect to such Acquired Company (an “Alternative Structure Event”), Purchaser and Sellers, subject, in the case of Sellers, to the Minority Equity Holder Rights, and in all cases, to the avoidance of
Initial Closing Legal Prohibitions or Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibitions, as applicable, shall continue to use best efforts, and proceed expeditiously and in good faith, to consummate the purchase, sale and other 

  

 66 








 
transactions contemplated hereunder with respect to each Acquired Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of an Alternative
Structure Event, the parties shall use best efforts, and proceed expeditiously and in good faith, to restructure the form of the transactions contemplated hereby in order to proceed with the substance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement pursuant to such alternative structures and transactions which would have a materially improved chance of completion and which may be accomplished in a manner that preserves the allocation of benefits, opportunities, costs,
responsibilities, liabilities and net economic benefit of the transactions contemplated hereby to Purchaser and Sellers (taking into account the effect of Taxes) and for consideration equal to the consideration allocated to the transactions pursuant
to Section 2.2 of the Agreement. 
  
 (b) In furtherance of
the foregoing, an Acquired Company shall be deemed to be a “Section 6.29 Retained Company” upon the earliest to occur of (the “Section 6.29 Retained Company Determination Date”) (i) the date upon which Sellers
provide written notice to Purchaser that Sellers have determined in good faith that, despite the parties’ compliance with all of the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement to be performed and complied with by it prior to the
Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, as applicable, related to such Acquired Company, (A) one or both of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 7.1(b) and (c) (in the case of the Initial Closing) or Section
7.4(a)(ii) and (iii) (in the case of a Subsequent Closing) with respect to such Acquired Company are not reasonably likely to be satisfied as of the Non-Transferred Company Determination Date and (B) the parties are unable to agree upon
alternative structures and transactions as contemplated in the last sentence of Section 6.29(a), (ii) the date upon which Sellers and Purchaser mutually agree that, despite each party’s compliance with all of the covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement to be performed and complied with by it prior to the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, as applicable, related to such Acquired Company, (A) one or both of the conditions to closing set forth in
Section 7.1(b) and (c) (in the case of the Initial Closing) or Section 7.4(a)(ii) and (iii) (in the case of a Subsequent Closing) with respect to such Acquired Company are not reasonably likely to be satisfied as of the
Non-Transferred Company Determination Date and (B) the parties are unable to agree upon alternative structures and transactions as contemplated in the last sentence of Section 6.29(a) and (iii) the Non-Transferred Company Determination Date,
if the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, as the case may be, does not occur with respect to such Acquired Company because, despite each party’s compliance with all of the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement to be
performed and complied with by it prior to the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, as applicable, related to such Acquired Company, as of such date, (A) one or both of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.1(b) and
(c), with respect to an Initial Closing, or Section 7.4(a)(ii) and (iii), with respect to any Subsequent Closing, were not satisfied and (B) the parties were unable to agree upon alternative structures and transactions as
contemplated in the last sentence of Section 6.29(a). 
  
 (c) In the event that any Acquired Company becomes a Section 6.29 Retained Company, (i) the parties shall nevertheless be obligated to consummate the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement except with respect to any such Section 6.29 Retained Company (or any Retained Company or ROFR Company), (ii) the applicable Seller will retain and continue to hold and own its Seller Equity Interests or Holding Company Equity Interests
relating to, and any Sellers Stockholder Debt with regard to, any such Section 6.29 Retained Company, (iii) the Sellers Equity Interests of any such 

  

 67 








 
Section 6.29 Retained Company shall be deemed to be excluded from the definition of “Sellers Equity Interests” and “Holding Company Equity
Interests” for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) no representations or warranties shall be deemed to have been made by Sellers with respect to any such Section 6.29 Retained Company. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Section
6.29 Determination Date with respect to any Section 6.29 Acquired Company, Sections 6.5 and 6.6 and Article III, as well as any other provisions that would otherwise reasonably be interpreted to treat such Section 6.29 Retained
Company as an Acquired Company whose Sellers Equity Interests are being transferred directly or indirectly pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will no longer be applicable to such Section 6.29 Retained Company,
provided, that Sections 6.8 and 6.28 as well as the Confidentiality Agreement, will continue to be applicable to all Section 6.29 Retained Companies. 
  
 6.30 Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees
that, in seeking to comply with this Agreement, including obtaining the Required Regulatory Approvals and Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals, Purchaser and its Representatives shall comply with all applicable Laws and shall not in any manner,
directly or indirectly, induce, solicit, encourage (or permit the encouragement of), instruct or in any manner direct any director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor of the Acquired Companies to take or omit to take any actions that could
violate applicable Law or the policies of any Acquired Company. 
  
 6.31 Intermediate Holding Companies. Prior to the applicable Closing Date with respect to a particular Operating Company, one or more of the Sellers intend to use their best efforts to eliminate as many Intermediate Holding Companies
organized in the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Panama. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Sellers shall only be obligated to eliminate Peck Holdings if a Dutch Residency Certificate for Peck Holdings can be obtained prior to such
applicable Closing Date and (b) Sellers shall not be obligated to eliminate the Intermediate Holding Companies listed in Schedule 6.31. In determining whether they have used their best efforts, Sellers will take into account any proposals set
forth by Purchaser. 
  
 6.32 Chilean Company Transfers.
Prior to the Closing Date, Sellers may, in their sole discretion, enter into a transaction or series of transactions to effect the contribution of BellSouth Comunicaciones, S.A., a Chilean sociedad anónima, and/or BellSouth Inversiones, S.A.,
a Chilean sociedad anónima, to a Netherlands BV; provided, that Sellers shall not enter into such transactions unless (a) on the applicable Closing Date there are no Acquired Companies in the ownership chain that are not organized in
The Netherlands or Chile and (b) Sellers first obtain an opinion of Chilean tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that concludes that (i) Sellers will have a reasonable basis for reporting that such transactions do not result in the
recognition of gain for Chilean tax purposes and (ii) any such Netherlands BV (or such other Holding Company or Intermediate Holding Company then holding such shares) should have a basis in the shares of BellSouth Comunicaciones, S.A. and BellSouth
Inversiones, S.A. for Chilean tax purposes at least equal to the Allocated Purchase Price for such Acquired Companies. 
  
 6.33 Post-Closing Activities. 
  
 (a) Prior to January 1 of the year following the applicable Closing Date with respect to a particular Operating Company and related Intermediate Holding
Companies, Purchaser and 

  

 68 








 
its Affiliates (including, for purposes of this Section 6.33(a), the Acquired Companies) shall not engage in any transaction with or involving any
Acquired Company or take any action outside the ordinary course of business with or involving any Acquired Company unless (i) Sellers have received from Purchaser an opinion of counsel mutually agreed to by the parties that such transaction would
not result in an increase in the earnings and profits (as defined in Code Section 964) of any of the Acquired Companies (or their successors), (ii) Sellers otherwise consent in writing or (iii) Purchaser takes all steps that are necessary to
completely eliminate all current or accumulated earnings and profits (as defined in Code Section 964) of the Acquired Company that takes such action or engages in such transaction. 
  
 (b) Prior to January 1 of the year following the applicable Closing Date with respect to a particular Operating Company and
related Intermediate Holding Companies, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, for purposes of this Section 6.33(b), the Acquired Companies) shall not engage in any transaction outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices while owned by Sellers which would result in any of the Acquired Companies (or a successor to such company) recognizing income that would be treated as Subpart F Income or engage in any transaction (even if in the ordinary course of
business) that would result in an Acquired Company that is not an Operating Company recognizing any income that would be Subpart F Income (other than the investment of existing cash reserves and cash from operations); provided, that Purchaser
shall not be deemed in breach of this requirement if prior to entering a transaction it obtained (i) an opinion of counsel mutually agreed to by the parties that such transaction will not result in the recognition of Subpart F Income, (ii) the prior
written consent of Sellers or (iii) Purchaser takes such steps as are necessary to completely eliminate any Subpart F Income to the Seller with respect to transactions occurring after the Closing Date. 
  
 (c) Purchaser has no present plan or intention to (i) liquidate, dissolve or
merge any Netherlands BV it directly or indirectly acquires from Sellers, (ii) transfer ownership of any of the Acquired Companies; or (iii) cause any Netherlands BV to distribute or otherwise disavow itself of ownership of any of the Operating
Companies directly or indirectly owned by it on the Closing Date. Purchaser further agrees that it will not take any of the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the previous sentence prior to January 1 of the second year following the
applicable Closing Date with respect to a particular Operating Company unless (i) such action was not reasonably foreseeable at the Closing Date with respect to a particular Operating Company or (ii) there is a significant intervening event that was
not foreseen on such Closing Date. 
  
 (d) Purchaser presently
intends to and will, unless some event occurs that is not reasonably foreseeable as of the Closing Date, cause each Netherlands BV and each Operating Company to continue to hold directly, or to the extent held indirectly as of the Closing Date,
indirectly, a significant portion of the assets held by it on the applicable Closing Date (without taking into account distributions made pursuant to Section 6.35). 
  
 (e) Purchaser will not make an election under Code Section 338 with respect to any of the Acquired Companies. 
  
 (f) Purchasers shall file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns due after the
Closing Date for the Acquired Companies and shall pay all Taxes shown as due and owing on such Tax

Returns except to the extent that such Taxes would be indemnified by Sellers pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(v) or (vi). Any Tax Return required to be prepared
by Purchasers or one of the Acquired Companies but for which Sellers may be responsible for the payment of any Taxes thereon shall be provided to Sellers at least thirty (30) days prior to filing and shall be subject to the reasonable comments of
Sellers. 
  
 (g) Any Tax Return prepared by Purchaser which
includes or is based on the operations, ownership, assets or activities of any Acquired Company for any period for which Seller is required to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this agreement shall be prepared in accordance with past Tax accounting
and other practices used by the Acquired Companies, Sellers or Seller Parent with respect to the Tax Returns in question (unless such past practices are no longer permissible under applicable Tax law), and to the extent any items are not covered by
past practices (or in the event such past practices are no longer permissible under applicable Tax law), in accordance with reasonable practices selected by Purchaser with the consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. 
  
 6.34 Distribution of Telecom BBS (B.V.I.) Ltd.
Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the distribution of Telecom BBS (B.V.I.), Ltd. to BellSouth International Latin America, Inc. prior to the applicable Closing Date or, if such distribution is not made prior to such Closing Date
with respect to the Acquired Companies relating to Venezuela, shall indemnify the Purchaser for all liabilities of Telecom BBS (B.V.I.), Ltd. 
  
 6.35 Post-Sale Distributions. Purchaser shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, all cash which is held directly by each Netherlands BV that
directly or indirectly owns Telcel S.A. or BellSouth Panama S.A. at the applicable Closing Date prior to the next January 1 after the applicable Closing Date. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute or cause to be
distributed a note or other asset in an amount equal to all of the current and accumulated earnings and profits (as defined in Code Section 964) of such Netherlands BVs that exist following such cash distribution prior to January 1 of the year after
the Closing Date with respect to each such Netherlands BV. If Purchaser believes that, notwithstanding its commercially reasonable efforts, it cannot make the required distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits, it shall promptly
notify Sellers in writing. In determining whether it has used commercially reasonable efforts, Purchaser will (a) disregard the effect of any withholding taxes or amounts paid from The Netherlands to Spain, (b) disregard any Spanish tax on interest
income on the notes or Spanish tax on the actual or deemed distribution from The Netherlands to Spain and (c) take into account any proposals set forth by Sellers. Purchaser agrees that, absent a significant change in circumstances that was not
foreseen on the date of Closing, it will not recontribute any amount distributed pursuant to this section for three (3) years following the distribution. 
  
 6.36 Peru. (a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all steps necessary to obtain as soon as practicable the Required Regulatory Approvals and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including taking,
accepting or otherwise engaging in any and all Actions of Divestiture requested by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Peruvian Acquired Company. 
  

 70 








 (b) The parties agree that if, despite their compliance with all of their respective covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement, including Purchaser’s obligations set forth in Section 6.36(a), prior to or as of (i) the date of the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing in which the Sellers Equity Interests in Peck
Holdings or any successor Holding Company that includes the Peruvian Acquired Company will be sold to Purchaser or (ii) the Non-Transferred Company Determination Date with respect to the Peruvian Acquired Company, it is deemed by the parties acting
in good faith that it is not reasonably likely to satisfy the conditions to closing set forth (A) in the case of the Initial Closing, in Sections 7.1(a) or (b), or (B) in the case of a Subsequent Closing, in Sections 7.4(a)(i)
or (ii), Purchaser and Sellers agree that Sellers shall retain the Peruvian Acquired Company and promptly thereafter Sellers shall arrange for the orderly sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the capital stock or assets of the
Peruvian Acquired Company to one or more Persons who are unaffiliated with Sellers. Any such sale or disposition made by Sellers is referred to as the “Alternative Peruvian Transaction.” Upon the completion of any such Alternative
Peruvian Transaction, Sellers will determine the Net Proceeds received by Sellers in connection with such Alternative Peruvian Transaction, and then determine the shortfall or profit, if any, based upon the comparison of (i) the Sellers Allocated
Payment, as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.4 (and assuming for purposes of such adjustment that a Closing with respect to the Peruvian Acquired Company had taken place on the Non-Transferred Company Determination Date) and (ii) such
Net Proceeds (such shortfalls or profit, the “Peruvian Difference”), and shall provide a written statement setting forth such determination of the Peruvian Difference to Purchaser (a “Peruvian Difference
Determination”). If the Peruvian Difference Determination reflects a shortfall, then, with ten (10) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Peruvian Difference Determination, Purchaser will pay to Sellers an amount equal to
100% of such shortfall. If the Peruvian Difference Determination reflects a profit, then, within ten (10) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Peruvian Acquired Determination, Sellers will pay to Purchaser 100% of such profit.

  
 6.37 Retained Companies and Section 6.29 Retained
Companies. In the event that any Acquired Company becomes a Retained Company or a Section 6.29 Retained Company, Purchaser agrees that it shall take all actions reasonably requested by Sellers, and shall promptly execute and deliver all
certificates, notices or other documentation as may be necessary to confirm the status of any Retained Company or Section 6.29 Retained Company, including to confirm the ownership by Sellers of the Sellers Equity Interests therein, free and clear of
all obligations or liabilities arising hereunder except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 6.38 Additional Agreements and Arrangements. In the event that (a) the parties are required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement through one or more Subsequent Closings or (b) any Acquired Company becomes a Non-Transferred Company, then the parties agree that, as of each Closing, if (i) any Acquired Company that is the subject of such Closing (A) owns any
Intellectual Property Right, technology or software that is used by any Non-Transferred Company or any other Acquired Company that is not being transferred at such Closing and has not been transferred at any prior Closing, as the case may be, or (B)
provides services to, or is a party to any supply or purchase agreement that includes the provision of supplies or other materials to, any Non-Transferred Company or any Acquired Company that is not being transferred at such Closing and has not been
transferred at any prior Closing, as the 

  

 71 








 
case may be, and/or (ii) any Non-Transferred Company or any Acquired Company that is not being transferred at such Closing and has not been transferred at
any prior Closing, as the case may be, (A) owns any Intellectual Property Right, technology or software that is used by any Acquired Company that is the subject of such Closing or (B) provides services to, or is a party to any supply or purchase
agreement that includes the provision of supplies or other materials to, any Acquired Company that is the subject of such Closing, then, in either case, Sellers shall determine in their sole discretion whether it is necessary for the parties to
cause any Acquired Companies being transferred at such Closing, on the one hand, and the Non-Transferred Companies and the Acquired Companies that are not being transferred at such Closing (or at any prior Closing), on the other hand, to enter into
any Contracts or other arrangements as of the applicable Closing Date that will allow each of the Acquired Companies that are transferred at such Closing, the Acquired Companies that are not transferred at such Closing (or at any prior Closing) and
the Non-Transferred Companies to operate their respective businesses following any such Closing in a manner that is consistent with the manner in which such businesses are operated on such Closing Date; provided, however, that this
Section 6.38 shall not include or affect any Intellectual Property Right, technology or software that is owned by any BellSouth Entity, which matters are the subject of other Sections in Article VI of this Agreement. 
  
 6.39 MOVICOM and MOVISTAR Marks. Seller Parent and Sellers agree that
in the event all of the Acquired Companies that use the MOVICOM mark are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then from and after the date of the Closing with respect to the last of such Acquired Companies neither Seller
Parent nor Sellers shall challenge, contest or oppose any registrations or applications for registration of the MOVICOM mark in the Territory by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates. For each country in the Territory where the MOVICOM
mark is used and an Acquired Company is located, Seller Parent and Sellers agree and acknowledge that for such country after the Acquired Company located in such country has been subject to a Closing (a) Seller Parent and Sellers shall not commence,
continue or support financially any proceeding concerning or contesting the registration or any application for registration of the MOVISTAR mark in that country, (b) as between Seller Parent, Sellers and Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the
exclusive right, title and interest in and to the MOVISTAR mark in such country and (c) Seller Parent and Sellers shall take all actions and execute all documents as are reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with any and all applications
by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Affiliates for registration of the MOVISTAR mark in such country; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not apply to any Non-Transferred Companies and the
countries in which they are located. 
  
 6.40 Discussions with
Lenders. Sellers and Purchaser agree to establish a committee, the members of which shall be, for Sellers, those individuals set forth in Part A of Schedule 6.40, and for Purchaser, those individuals set forth in Part B of
Schedule 6.40 (or their successors in office from time to time) (the “Financing Committee”). Sellers agree that prior to engaging in any course of negotiations with any creditors of any Acquired Companies following the date
hereof regarding the refinancing or material amendment of any material Debt (other than Pay-Off Debt except to the extent to be refinanced with non-Pay-Off Debt) of any Acquired Company, and from time to time following the initiation of such
negotiations, Sellers’ members on the Financing Committee shall (so long as it does not breach any confidentiality provisions in any applicable credit agreement or other financing agreement to which any Acquired Company is a party) advise and
consult with Purchaser’s members on the Financing Committee, each to 

  

 72 








 
consult in good faith, as to the general strategy and approach to be pursued by Sellers and the applicable Acquired Companies in such negotiations, and
Purchaser agrees that it shall conduct any discussions it is permitted to have pursuant to this Section 6.40 with such creditors only after prior notice to Sellers’ members on the Financing Committee, only through Purchaser’s
members on the Financing Committee and only in a manner consistent with such strategy and approach; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall in no event be bound to pursue any particular
general strategy and approach in any discussions they may have with any creditor of any Acquired Company, whether or not previously discussed with Purchaser; provided, further, however, that, as a result of, or in connection
with, such discussions, Purchaser shall not be liable to any BellSouth Entity in any way for the Debt of any Non-Transferred Company, except to the extent that Purchaser is in violation of any of its obligations hereunder or has acted in bad faith
or with willful misconduct. After obtaining the prior approval of the Sellers’ members of the Financing Committee, Purchaser’s members of the Financing Committee may, at their option, discuss with any creditors of the Acquired Companies
the extension of (a) any Pay-Off Debt other than Pay-Off Debt in Argentina or Colombia or other than any Pay-Off Debt for which there is a BellSouth Guarantee or (b) any Debt other than Pay-Off Debt. The members of the Financing Committee will, at
their respective cost and expense, seek to meet with appropriate representatives of the creditors in Colombia and Argentina as soon as practicable after the date hereof. In Colombia, the members will seek amendments to the restructuring documents so
that (i) Purchaser is a permitted buyer that will not trigger the acceleration of the maturity of the restructured Debt and (ii) upon the Closing of the Colombia Acquired Companies, Sellers and their Affiliates will be released from all obligations
with respect to the restructured Debt. In Argentina, the members will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree as to the position to be taken with the creditors, but in the event they are unable to agree, then Sellers’ members shall have
sole right to negotiate directly with such creditors and Purchaser’s members shall have no communications whatsoever with such creditors, except to the extent explicitly permitted by Sellers’ members. Sellers’ members and
Purchaser’s members will consult with each other regarding any other issues with respect to Debt as any member may reasonably request from time to time.

 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE CLOSINGS

with respect to the Initial Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the Initial Closing Date of each of the following conditions: 
  
 (a) No Governmental Order shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that
prohibits, restrains, enjoins, or restricts the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements that are the subject of the Initial Closing, unless such Governmental Order would not result in the operation
of the businesses of the Initial Acquired Companies following the Initial Closing Date (assuming the Initial Closing Date occurs) in a manner that is materially adverse or detrimental to the conduct of the businesses of the Initial Acquired
Companies as compared to the conduct of the businesses of the Initial Acquired Companies on 

  

 73 








 
the date hereof (an “Initial Closing Legal Prohibition”); provided, however, that (i) if Purchaser is prepared to waive the
foregoing Initial Closing Legal Prohibition, then Sellers may not thereafter refuse to close on the basis of such Initial Closing Legal Prohibition unless closing under the circumstances of such Initial Closing Legal Prohibition would have an
adverse effect on Sellers or the BellSouth Entities, (ii) in the event any Initial Closing Legal Prohibition is not final and nonappealable, the parties shall continue to be subject to the terms of Section 6.29 with respect to any Acquired
Company that is the subject of such Initial Closing Legal Prohibition; (iii) in the event of the imposition of any such Initial Closing Legal Prohibition, the existence of such Initial Closing Legal Prohibition shall be understood to result in the
failure to satisfy the condition to the Initial Closing set forth in this Section 7.1(a) only with respect to the Acquired Company (or Acquired Companies) or particular transactions to which the Initial Closing Legal Prohibition applies; and
(iv) if Purchaser shall have failed to take any Action of Divestiture required by Section 6.5(b), such Initial Closing Legal Prohibition shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser (unless such a waiver is prohibited by Law) and
Purchaser shall not oppose the seeking of a court order specifically enforcing Purchaser’s performance under this Agreement (including the obligations of Purchaser to take or accept all Actions of Divestiture other than, with respect to the
Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company and subject to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in the last sentence of Section 6.5(b), any Actions of Divesture having an Action of Divestiture Fair Value that would exceed,
in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold). 
  
 (b)
The parties shall have obtained all Required Regulatory Approvals with respect to the Initial Acquired Companies that are required under applicable antitrust laws, foreign investment laws and material Communications Licenses that, in each case, are
necessary in order to permit the Initial Acquired Companies to operate their businesses following the Initial Closing Date in a manner that is not materially adverse or detrimental as compared to the conduct of their business as of the date hereof
(“Initial Closing Required Regulatory Approvals”); provided, however, that (i) if Purchaser shall have failed to take any Action of Divestiture required by Section 6.5(b) (subject to Purchaser’s obligations
set forth in the last sentence of Section 6.5(b), other than any Actions of Divestiture solely with respect to the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company having an Action of Divestiture Fair Value that would exceed, in
the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold) or to take the actions required by Section 6.29(a), such Initial Closing Required Regulatory Approval shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser (unless such a waiver is prohibited by
applicable Law); and (ii) that in the event that (A) the Argentinian Acquired Company and/or the Chilean Acquired Company are Retained Companies or (B) any of the Acquired Companies (including the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean
Acquired Company) are Section 6.29 Retained Companies, then the condition to the Initial Closing contained in this Section 7.1(b) shall nonetheless be deemed to be satisfied in respect of all other Acquired Companies with respect to which all
Initial Closing Required Regulatory Approvals have been obtained. 
  
 (c) The parties shall have obtained all Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals with respect to the Initial Acquired Companies the absence of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (“Initial Closing
Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals”); provided, however, that (i) if Purchaser shall have failed to comply with its obligations as set forth in Article III, such Initial Closing Required Minority Equity Holder
Approval shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser (unless such a waiver is prohibited 

  

 74 








 
by applicable Law); and (ii) in the event that (A) the Argentinian Acquired Company and/or the Chilean Acquired Company are Retained Companies or (B) any of
the Acquired Companies (including the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company) are Section 6.29 Retained Companies, then the condition to the Initial Closing contained in this Section 7.1(c) shall nonetheless be deemed
to be satisfied in respect of all other Acquired Companies with respect to which all Initial Closing Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals have been obtained. 
  
 (d) Sellers (through Seller Representative) or Purchaser shall have sent written notification to the other party of their
desire to consummate the transactions relating to one or more Initial Acquired Companies in accordance with Section 8.1(a). 
  
 (e) The Due Diligence Expiration Date shall have occurred. 
  
 7.2 Conditions to Obligations of Purchaser. The obligations of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect
to the Initial Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser at or prior to the Initial Closing Date of each of the following conditions: 
  

(a) The representations and warranties of each Seller and each Initial Acquired Company contained herein and in the Additional Representations
Certificate shall have been accurate, true and correct in all material respects (except that all such representations and warranties that are qualified by Material Adverse Effect or Individual Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all
respects) on and as of the date hereof and as of the date of the Additional Representations Certificate, respectively; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in Sections 4.1(a),
4.2, 4.4(a), 4.4(c), 4.10, 4.12 and 4.13 and of Sellers and the applicable Acquired Companies contained in Section 1.1 of the Additional Representations Certificate shall also be accurate, true and correct
in all material respects (except that all such representations and warranties that are qualified by Material Adverse Effect or Individual Material Adverse Effect shall be accurate, true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Initial Closing
Date with the same force and effect as though made by Sellers and the applicable Acquired Companies on and as of the Initial Closing Date; provided, further, that if one or more of such representations or warranties are not accurate,
true and correct in all material respects on and as of any such date, the condition precedent in this Section 7.2(a) shall nevertheless be deemed satisfied unless the inaccuracy, falsity or incorrectness of such representations or warranties
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Each Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of its covenants and obligations
contained in this Agreement to be performed and complied with by it on or prior to the Initial Closing Date.

 75

or that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (e) For the period from December 1, 2003 through the end of the most recently completed full fiscal quarter the last day of which is at least thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Closing Date (the “Initial Revenue Determination
Period”), the Revenue of the Initial Acquired Companies subject to the Initial Closing (the “Actual Initial Revenue Amount”) shall equal or exceed the Initial Revenue Threshold Amount. The “Initial Revenue
Amount” shall equal the product of (i) the Revenues of such Initial Acquired Companies for the year ended November 30, 2003 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of full fiscal quarters elapsed
during the Initial Revenue Determination Period and the denominator of which is four (4); provided, however, that for purposes of this calculation, the impact of any Action of Divestiture taken pursuant to this Agreement on the Revenue
of such Initial Acquired Companies shall be disregarded. 
  
 (f)
With respect to each Operating Company that is capable of being closed at the Initial Closing Date (other than the Argentinian Operating Company, any Acquired Company that is organized or formed under the laws of a country that requires more than
one holder of its equity interests (as long as such equity interests do not exceed 0.25% of the equity interests in such Acquired Company) and, at Sellers’ discretion, BellSouth Chile, S.A.), one or more of Sellers have restructured, or caused
the restructuring of, the ownership of such Operating Company in such a way as to permit the acquisition by Purchaser at the Initial Closing either of (i) the Operating Company directly or (ii) a Netherlands BV with a Dutch Residency Certificate,
which Netherlands BV shall, directly or indirectly, own such Operating Company (singularly or together with other Operating Companies). 
  
 (g) With respect to the Closing of the Venezuelan Acquired Company only, (i) Sellers shall either own one hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Interests
in the Venezuelan Acquired Companies or (ii) Purchaser in its sole discretion shall agree to waive the requirement set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i). 
  
 7.3 Conditions to Obligations of Sellers. The obligations of Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement with respect to the Initial Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Seller Representative at or prior to the Initial Closing Date of each of the following conditions:

the Purchaser Representations Certificate shall have been accurate, true and correct in all material respects (except that all such representations and warranties that are qualified by Purchaser Material Adverse Effect shall be accurate, true and
correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.7 and 5.9 (except with regard to breaches or
claims previously asserted by Purchaser, including as to Loss Contingencies and indemnification claims) shall also be accurate, true and correct in all material respects (except that all such representations and warranties that are qualified by
Purchaser Material Adverse Effect shall be accurate, true and correct in all 

  

 76 








 
respects) on and as of the Initial Closing Date with the same force and effect as though made by Purchaser on and as of the Initial Closing Date. 

 
 (b) Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material respects
with all of its covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement to be performed and complied with by it on or prior to the Initial Closing Date.

officer of Purchaser, certifying as to compliance with Sections 7.3(a) and 7.3(b).

their sole discretion, shall have consented to the failure to obtain the release or termination of the BellSouth Guarantees relating to the Initial Acquired Companies, in which case Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers pursuant to
Section 10.3(c) from and against any liabilities or obligations of Sellers or their Affiliates arising out of or related to any payments made by a BellSouth Entity pursuant to a BellSouth Guarantee following the Closing. 
  
 (e) Purchaser shall have paid all amounts required in connection with the
termination of the Technical Services Agreements with respect to the Initial Acquired Companies in conformity with Section 6.21.

effect that the amounts owed or payable with respect to all Pay-Off Debt of any Initial Acquired Company required to be satisfied, paid, discharged or acquired pursuant to Section 6.7(a) have been satisfied, paid, discharged or acquired in
full and such creditor(s) shall have no further claims or rights in connection therewith.

Uruguayan Acquired Company, (iii) the Colombian Acquired Company, (iv) the Nicaraguan Acquired Company, (v) the Venezuelan Acquired Company, and (vi) if Seller so elects, in its sole discretion, any other Acquired Company, all conditions to Closing

Entities with respect to such Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 7.4
Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Sellers and Purchaser as to Subsequent Closings. (a) The respective obligations of each party to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at any Subsequent Closing as to Subsequent Acquired
Companies shall be 

  

 77 








 
subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the applicable Subsequent Closing Date of each of the following conditions: 
  
 (i) No Governmental Order shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or enforced by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits, restrains, enjoins, or restricts the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements that are the subject of
the Subsequent Closing, unless such Governmental Order would not result in the operation of the businesses of the Subsequent Acquired Companies that are the subject of such Subsequent Closing following such Subsequent Closing Date (assuming the
Subsequent Closing were to occur) in a manner that is materially adverse or detrimental to the conduct of the businesses of such Subsequent Acquired Companies as compared to the conduct of the businesses of such Subsequent Acquired Companies on the
date hereof (a “Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition”); provided, however, that (A) if Purchaser is prepared to waive the Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition, then Sellers may not thereafter refuse to close on the
basis of such Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition unless closing under the circumstances of such Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition would have an adverse effect on Sellers or the BellSouth Entities; (B) in the event any Subsequent Closing Legal
Prohibition is not final and nonappealable, the parties shall continue to be subject to the terms of Section 6.29 with respect to any Acquired Company that is the subject of such Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition until the Non-Transferred
Company Determination Date; (C) in the event of the imposition of any such Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition, the existence of such Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition shall be understood to result in the failure to satisfy the condition to
Closing set forth in this Section 7.4(a)(i) only with respect to the Acquired Company (or Acquired Companies) to which the Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition applies; and (D) that if Purchaser shall have failed to take any Actions of
Divestiture required by Section 6.5(b), other than any Action of Divestiture solely with respect to the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company that would exceed, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold,
such Subsequent Closing Legal Prohibition shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser (unless such a waiver is prohibited by applicable Law) and Purchaser shall not oppose the seeking of a court order specifically enforcing Purchaser’s
performance under this Agreement (including the obligations of Purchaser to take or accept all Actions of Divestiture other than, with respect to the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company and subject to Purchaser’s
obligations set forth in the last sentence of Section 6.5(b), any Actions of Divestiture having an Action of Divestiture Fair Value that would exceed, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold). 
  
 (ii) The parties shall have obtained all Required Regulatory
Approvals with respect to the applicable Subsequent Acquired Companies that are required under applicable antitrust laws, foreign investment laws and material Communications Licenses that, in each case, are necessary in order to permit the
Subsequent Acquired Companies that are the subject of such Subsequent Closing to operate their businesses following the applicable Subsequent Closing Date in a manner that is not materially adverse or detrimental as compared to the conduct of their
business as of the date hereof (with respect to any Subsequent Closing, the “Subsequent Closing Required Regulatory 

  

 78 








 
Approvals”); provided, however, that (A) if Purchaser shall have failed to take any Action of Divestiture required by Section
6.5(b) (subject to Purchaser’s obligations set forth in the last sentence of Section 6.5(b), other than any Actions of Divestiture solely with respect to the Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company having
an Action of Divestiture Fair Value that would exceed, in the aggregate, the Action of Divestiture Threshold) or to take the actions required by Section 6.29(a), such Closing Required Regulatory Approval shall be deemed to have been waived by
Purchaser (unless such a waiver is prohibited by applicable Law); and (B) that in the event that (1) the Argentinian Acquired Company and/or the Chilean Acquired Company are Retained Companies or (2) any of the Acquired Companies (including the
Argentinian Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company) are Section 6.29 Retained Companies, the condition to the Subsequent Closing contained in this Section 7.4(a)(ii) shall nonetheless be deemed to be satisfied in respect of all
other Acquired Companies with respect to which all Closing Required Regulatory Approvals have been obtained. 
  
 (iii) The parties shall have obtained all Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals with respect to the applicable Subsequent Acquired
Companies the absence of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (with respect to any Subsequent Closing, the “Subsequent Closing Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals”); provided,
however, that if Purchaser shall have failed to comply with its obligations as set forth in Article III, such Subsequent Closing Required Minority Equity Approval shall be deemed to have been waived by Purchaser (unless such a waiver
is prohibited by applicable Law); provided, further, that in the event that (i) the Argentinian Acquired Company or the Chilean Acquired Company are Retained Companies or (ii) any of the Acquired Companies (including the Argentinian
Acquired Company and the Chilean Acquired Company) are Section 6.29 Retained Companies, then the condition to the Subsequent Closing contained in this Section 7.4(a)(iii) shall nonetheless be deemed to be satisfied in respect of all other
Acquired Companies with respect to which all Subsequent Closing Required Minority Equity Holder Approvals have been obtained. 
  
 (iv) The Initial Closing shall have occurred. 
  
 (v) The date of such Subsequent Closing shall occur on or before the Non-Transferred Company Determination Date. 
  
 (vi) Sellers (through Seller Representative) or Purchaser
shall have delivered written notification to the other party of their desire to consummate the transactions relating to one or more Subsequent Acquired Companies in accordance with Section 8.1(b). 
  
 (b) The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement with respect to a Subsequent Closing, if any, shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser at or prior to such Subsequent Closing Date of the following condition: 
  
 (i) For the period from December 1, 2003 through the end of
the most recently completed full fiscal quarter the last day of which is at least thirty (30) days prior 

  

 79 








 
to any Subsequent Closing Date (the “Subsequent Revenue Determination Period”), the Revenue of the Subsequent Acquired Companies subject to
such Subsequent Closing (each, a “Actual Subsequent Revenue Amount”) equal or exceed the Subsequent Revenue Threshold Amount; provided, however, that if the Actual Subsequent Revenue Amount with respect to any such
Subsequent Closing does not equal or exceed the Subsequent Revenue Threshold Amount, then this condition will nonetheless be deemed satisfied if (A) the sum of (1) the Actual Subsequent Revenue Amount for the Subsequent Acquired Companies at such
Subsequent Closing, plus (2) the Excess Initial Revenue Amount, if any, plus (3) Excess Subsequent Revenue Amounts, if any, for each earlier Subsequent Closing would equal or exceed (B) the Subsequent Revenue Threshold Amount. The
“Subsequent Revenue Amount” with respect to any Subsequent Closing shall equal the product of (1) the Revenues of the Subsequent Acquired Companies that are the subject of such Subsequent Closing for the year ended November 30, 2003
multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of full fiscal quarters elapsed during the applicable Subsequent Revenue Determination Period and the denominator of which is four (4); provided, further, that

indemnity or other claim against Sellers or the BellSouth Entities with respect to such Material Adverse Effect.

 TERMINATION 
  
 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated herein may be abandoned, at any time on or prior to the Initial Closing Date: 
  
 (a) with the mutual consent of the Seller Representative and Purchaser; 
  
 (b) by the Seller Representative or Purchaser, if the Initial Closing shall
not have taken place on or before December 15, 2004, provided, that if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 15, 2004 solely because of (i) the failure of (A) the parties to receive any of the Closing Required
Regulatory Approvals or (B) any applicable regulatory waiting period to expire or (B) the imposition of any Initial Closing Legal Prohibition, such date shall be extended to June 30, 2005 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that
the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to (i) the Seller Representative if the failure of any Seller to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement, or the breach of or inaccuracy in any
representation or warranty by any Seller in this Agreement or by any Seller or any Acquired Company in the Additional Representations Certificate, has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Initial Closing to occur on or before the
Outside Date or (ii) Purchaser if the failure of Purchaser to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement, or the breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty by Purchaser in this Agreement, has been the cause of or resulted in
the failure of the Initial Closing to occur on or before Outside Date; 
  
 (c) by Purchaser, if there shall have been a material breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers hereunder and the falsity, inaccuracy or incorrectness of such representation or warranty would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or a material breach of any covenant or obligation of Sellers hereunder, and which in any such case would
cause the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in Sections 7.2(a) and/or 7.2(b) not to be satisfied by the Outside Date, and in any case such breach shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt by the
Seller Representative of a notice in writing from Purchaser specifying the breach and requesting that such breach be remedied; 
  
 (d) by the Seller Representative, if there shall have been a material breach of any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty of Purchaser
hereunder, and such breach shall have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect and such breach shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt by Purchaser of notice in writing from the Seller Representative specifying the breach and
requesting that such breach be remedied; 
  

 87 








 (e) by Purchaser on or before the date that is 30 days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, if, after
having completed its due diligence investigation of the Acquired Companies in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Agreement, Purchaser has discovered, from information obtained by Purchaser after the date of this Agreement (excluding any
information provided to or obtained by Purchaser up to and including the date of this Agreement, including pursuant to the schedules hereto), conditions, circumstances or events that have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; provided, however, that if Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.1(e) on or before the date that is 30 days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date, Purchaser
shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e), and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; and provided, further, that Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) if Purchaser is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; 
  
 In the event of termination by the Seller Representative or Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1 (other than
Section 9.1(a)), written notice thereof shall be given to the other party. 
  
 9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, or if Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 and determines not to or fails
to exercise its termination rights pursuant to Section 9.1, there shall be no liability hereunder on the part of Sellers, Purchaser, nor their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and no party
shall have any right to sue for a breach of any representation or warranty contained herein or in the Additional Representations Certificate, and all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate except that the obligations set forth in
Sections 3.1(f), 6.8 (Confidentiality) 6.11 (Brokers), 6.28(b) (Non-Solicitation by Purchaser), 12.1 (Expenses) and 12.8 (Publicity) and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, and except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for any prior intentional breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement. 
  
 9.3 No Right to Terminate After Initial Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that there is no right
to terminate this Agreement once there has been an Initial Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Sellers Equity Interests of one or more Acquired Companies have not been transferred to Purchaser despite each party’s
compliance with all of the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement to be performed and complied with by it prior to Non-Transferred Company Determination Date with respect to such Acquired Company, then such Acquired Companies, to the
extent that they have not been deemed Non-Transferred Companies prior to their respective Non-Transferred Company Determination Date, shall be deemed to be Non-Transferred Companies on such Non-Transferred Company Determination Date and, following
the applicable Non-Transferred Company Determination Date, (i) the parties shall nevertheless be obligated to consummate the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement except with respect to
any such Non-Transferred Company, (ii) the applicable Seller will retain and continue to hold and own its Seller Equity Interests or Holding Company Equity Interests relating to (other than upon a transfer of Right of First Refusal Shares of a ROFR
Company), and any Sellers Stockholder Debt with regard to, any such Non-Transferred Company, (iii) the Sellers Equity Interests of any such Non-Transferred Company shall be deemed to be excluded from the definition of “Sellers Equity
Interests” and “Holding Company 
  

 88 








 Equity Interests” for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) no representations or warranties shall be
deemed to have been made by Sellers with respect to any such Non-Transferred Company and (v) Section 9.2 (including the exceptions contained therein) shall be deemed to apply to such Non-Transferred Companies as if this Agreement had
terminated solely with respect to such Non-Transferred Companies. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Non-Transferred Company Determination Date with respect to any Retained Company, Sections 6.5 and 6.6 and Article
III, as well as any other provisions that would reasonably be interpreted to treat such Non-Transferred Company as an Acquired Company whose Sellers Equity Interests are being transferred directly or indirectly pursuant to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, will no longer be applicable to such Non-Transferred Company, provided, that Sections 6.8 and 6.28, as well as the Confidentiality Agreement, will continue to be applicable to all Non-Transferred
Companies (other than as provided otherwise in this Agreement). 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION

Effect (which instead will be read as any adverse effect)); provided, further, that such Seller shall have no liability under this Section 10.2(a)(i) for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty unless (A)

 (a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by
Purchaser in this Agreement; provided, that Purchaser shall have no liability under this Section 10.3(a) for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty unless, in the case of all representations and warranties (other

close of business on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the applicable Closing Date; 
  
 (e) any occurrence, event, act or omission of or involving any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company after the applicable Closing Date, including any claims, lawsuits or Losses relating, or with

 92 








 (f) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from and after the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser
shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers from any and all Taxes relating to any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company arising after the applicable Closing. 
  
 10.4 Limitations on Liability of Sellers. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement: 
  
 (a) Purchaser and the Purchaser
Indemnified Persons shall have the right to payment by any Sellers under: 
  
 (i) Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of the Tax Warranty) and Section 10.2(a)(iv) only if, and only to the extent that, Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnified
Persons shall have incurred or suffered (A) as to any particular inaccuracy or breach, indemnifiable Losses in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and (B) as to all inaccuracies and breaches, aggregate indemnifiable Losses in excess of one
percent (1%) of the Allocated Purchase Price for the Acquired Companies, and then only for the amount of such excess (subject to the further limitation in clause (A) of this Section 10.4(a)(i)); provided, however, that
with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 4.10, 4.12, or 4.13, the limitation set forth in clause (A) of this Section 10.4(a)(i) shall not apply and in place
thereof the limitations set forth in Section 10.4(a)(ii) shall apply; 
  
 (ii) Section 10.2(a)(i) with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 4.10, 4.12, or 4.13, only if, and only to the extent that, Purchaser
and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall have incurred or suffered (A) as to any of the Acquired Companies identified on Schedule 1 attached to the Additional Representations Certificate, aggregate indemnifiable Losses in excess of Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000), and then, subject to the limitation in clause (B) of Section 10.4(a)(i), for the full amount of such indemnifiable Losses, or (B) as to any of the Acquired Companies identified on Schedule 2 attached to the

Losses; and 
  
 (iii) Section 10.2(a)(v)
and, with respect to the Tax Warranty only, Section 10.2(a)(i) only if, and only to the extent that, in respect of the Acquired Companies in any one country, Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall have incurred or suffered
Losses with respect to such Taxes or the Tax Warranty, as applicable, in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in respect of the Acquired Companies in any such country and then for the full amount of such indemnifiable Losses. 
  
 (b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, no Seller
shall, nor shall the Sellers, as a whole, be responsible for any particular indemnification claim pursuant to Section 10.2 insofar as such claim relates to a particular Acquired Company for an amount that exceeds the product of (i) the amount
of such indemnification claim otherwise payable pursuant 

  

 93 








 
to this Article X and (ii) the Sellers Allocation Percentage applicable to such Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company. 

 
 (c) Sellers shall not, as a whole, have any liability under or in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the Additional Representations Certificate (including under Section 10.2 or otherwise for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or for any
breach of any covenant or obligation or for any other reason) in excess of, as to all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and other reasons, the Aggregate Sellers Allocated Payments. 
  
 (d) Sellers will only be liable for actual Losses, and in no event shall
Sellers have any liability for special, speculative, punitive, indirect, consequential or multiple-based damages or for lost profits or lost business opportunities, with regard to indemnification or other claims hereunder except to the extent such
special, speculative, punitive, indirect, consequential or multiple-based damages or lost profits or damages in respect of lost business opportunities damages are claimed by any third party against Purchaser or a Purchaser Indemnified Person.

  
 (e) The sole and exclusive liability and responsibility of
Sellers to Purchaser under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Additional Representations Certificate (including for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or for any breach
of any covenant or obligation or for any other reason), and the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser with respect to any of the foregoing, shall be as set forth in this Article X (other than with respect to fraud). Other than pursuant to
this Article X, Purchaser on behalf of itself and its Representatives hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights (including any other right to indemnification, contribution or
recovery), claims and causes of action (including those of any nature, known or unknown, or based on any legal theory, whether common law or any statute (including any Environmental Law), contract, tort or other legal theory) it may have against
Sellers or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders or Affiliates arising from or relating to the negotiation or subject matter of this Agreement or the Additional Representations Certificate arising under or
based upon any applicable Law, rule, regulation, Order, judgment or decree. 
  
 (f) In no event shall any Seller have any liability for any claims by or with respect to any past, current or future employees of any Initial Acquired Company or Subsequent Acquired Company (or for any Losses relating
thereto) which are first made after the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, as the case may be, including any claims that arise out of or in connection with (i) any injuries to, or deaths or illnesses of, such employees or (ii) any severance
or other claims related to the termination of such employees. 
  
 (g) Except as provided in Section 6.3(b) and for the indemnity referred to in Section 10.2(a)(viii), Sellers shall have no liability or obligation to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser arising
out of any matter that is disclosed on the Financial Statements (or as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 4.5) and to which Purchaser is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article X unless and solely to the extent to which the
amount of the damages from such Losses exceeds the Final Loss Contingencies and Impairment Losses. 
  

 94 








 (h) In no event shall any Seller have any liability or obligation to indemnify Purchaser or any Purchaser
Indemnified Person for any claims relating to any Non-Transferred Company except pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii). 
  
 (i) Sellers shall have no liability for Taxes under this Article X as to matters resulting from or arising out of activities of Purchaser or its
Affiliates on or after the applicable Closing and to the extent that such liability arises primarily from or is attributable to the breach by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 10.5 Claims. As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming
aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, of the type described in Section 10.6, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after first
becoming aware of such claim, the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim, which notice shall specify the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim, the representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations alleged to have been breached and the amount that the Indemnified Person seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Person, together with such information as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Person to determine that the limitations in
Section 10.4 have been satisfied or do not apply; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent
(if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. 
  
 10.6 Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after receiving
notice thereof, to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (which notice shall
specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such claim together with such information as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Person to determine that the limitations in Section 10.4 have been satisfied or do not apply);
provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been
prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense, (a) participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding and (b) upon notice to the Indemnified Person, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit,
action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choice and in the event of such assumption, shall have the exclusive right, subject to clause (i) of Section 10.7, to settle or compromise such claim, suit,
action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed
by the Indemnifying Person, and such Indemnified Person will refrain from making any public announcements in respect of such claim, suit, action or proceeding or otherwise communicating with the news media without the prior consent of the
Indemnifying Person. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, Sellers shall continue to control the defense of the Venezuelan Arbitration and the prosecution of 
  

 95 








 
the Peruvian Arbitration in all respects following the applicable Closing with respect to the Venezuelan Arbitration Entities and the Peruvian Acquired
Companies. 
  
 10.7 Settlement or Compromise. Any
settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person (unless the Indemnifying Person has the exclusive right to settle or compromise under clause (b) of Section 10.6) or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may
be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in Section 10.6 shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree
had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, that (a) no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement or
compromise without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (b) the Indemnified Person will not compromise or settle any claim, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 10.8
Time Limits. Any right to indemnification or other recovery under this Article X shall only apply to Losses with respect to which the Indemnified Person shall have notified the Indemnifying Person within the applicable time period set
forth in Section 10.2 or 10.3, as the case may be. If any claim for indemnification or other recovery is timely asserted under this Article X, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to bring an action, suit or proceeding
with respect to such claim within one year after first giving the Indemnifying Person notice thereof, but may not bring any such action, suit or proceeding thereafter. 
  
 10.9 Net Losses and Subrogation; Offset. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by any
Indemnified Person shall be based on actual Losses incurred and shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Person from any insurance policy provided or maintained by or on behalf of the Acquired
Companies, Sellers, Seller Parent or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to such Losses, (ii) any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Person arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Losses and (iii) any
recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Person (or any of its Affiliates) from any other third party. Each Indemnified Person shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits and recoveries, and to take all reasonable
actions to mitigate the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Person. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Person with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Person has made a
payment to the Indemnified Person with respect thereto, the Indemnified Person shall promptly, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt, realization or recovery of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries, pay to the
Indemnifying Person the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Person’s payment). 
  
 (b) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses, the Indemnifying Person will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated
to all rights of the Indemnified Person against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment 

  

 96 








 
relates. Such Indemnified Person and Indemnifying Person will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such
subrogation rights. 
  
 (c) If a judgment is rendered in favor of
the Peruvian Acquired Companies or any of their successors or Affiliates in the Peruvian Arbitration (the amount of any such judgment, the “Peruvian Arbitration Award”), the entirety of the Peruvian Arbitration Award shall be paid,
or cause to be paid, by Purchaser to Sellers no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof by Purchaser of the Peruvian Acquired Companies, as the case may be. 
  
 10.10 Adjustments to Aggregate Sellers Allocated Payment. To the extent permitted by Law, any amounts payable under
Section 10.2, or Section 10.3 shall be treated by Purchaser and Sellers as an adjustment to the Aggregate Sellers Allocated Payment. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
  
 SELLER PARENT GUARANTY 
  
 11.1 Sellers Guaranty. 
  
 (a) Seller Parent hereby unconditionally, absolutely, continuously and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, to Purchaser and any Purchaser Indemnified Person the due and punctual payment and performance by each

due or to become due (collectively, the “Sellers Liabilities”). 
  
 (b) Neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser Indemnified Person shall be required to prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against any Seller or any other Person liable to Purchaser or any
Purchaser Indemnified Person on account of Sellers Liabilities or any guaranty thereof. Sellers Liabilities shall in no way be impaired, affected, reduced or released by reason of (i) the failure or delay by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified
Person to do or take any of the actions or things described in this Agreement or the other Related Agreements, or (ii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of any
Seller or the marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings or any other
inability to pay or perform affecting, any Seller or any of its respective assets, or any allegation concerning, or contest of the legality or validity of, the indemnification obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Related Agreements.

  
 11.2 Seller Waivers and Acknowledgements. 

 
 (a) Seller Parent waives any and all right to assert against Purchaser or
any Purchaser Indemnified Person any claim or defense with respect to the legality, validity or enforceability of this Article XI based upon any failure of Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person to furnish to Seller Parent any
information or facts relating to the ability of any Sellers to pay and perform the applicable Sellers Liabilities. Seller Parent acknowledges receipt of an executed or conformed copy of each Related Agreement and agrees that such copy constitutes
adequate 

  

 97 








 
notice of all matters contained therein and consents to the execution and delivery of such agreements and the performance of all transactions provided for or
contemplated therein. 
  
 (b) Seller Parent waives all defenses,
counterclaims and offsets of any kind or nature in connection with the legality, validity and/or enforceability of this Article XI, including any such defense, counterclaim or offset arising directly or indirectly from any agreement,
instrument or document executed and delivered by any Sellers. Seller Parent waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices whatsoever, other than notices required by the terms of this Article XI. 
  
 (c) Seller Parent waives any and all right to assert against Purchaser or any
Purchaser Indemnified Person any claim or defense based upon any election of remedies by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases or extinguishes either Seller Parent’s right to
proceed against any Seller for reimbursement or any other rights of Seller Parent against any Seller or against any other Person. 
  
 (d) Seller Parent waives notice of the following events or occurrences, and agrees that its guarantee obligations under this Agreement shall be
continuing, absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the obligations of Sellers under this Agreement and the other Related Agreements have been completely discharged irrespective of: (i) acceptance of the
provisions of this Article XI by Purchaser and any Purchaser Indemnified Person; (ii) Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person heretofore, now or at any time hereafter obtaining, releasing, waiving or modifying any other Person’s
guaranty of Sellers Liabilities given to any of them; (iii) amendment or modification of any of the Related Agreements, or waiver or release of any provisions of the Related Agreements by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person; (iv)
presentment, demand, notices of default, nonpayment, partial payment and protest, and all other notices or formalities to which Seller Parent may be entitled, other than notices required by the terms of this Article XI; (v) Purchaser or any
Purchaser Indemnified Person heretofore, now or at any time hereafter, granting to any Seller (or any other Person liable to Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person on account of Sellers Liabilities) any indulgence or extension of time of
payment of Sellers Liabilities; (vi) Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person heretofore, now or at any time hereafter, accepting from any Seller or any other Person any partial payment or payments on account of Sellers Liabilities or Purchaser
or any Purchaser Indemnified Person settling, subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing the same; and (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor other than the
determination that all of Sellers’ obligations have been paid in full in cash. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller Parent shall be entitled to the benefit of and may assert as a defense against any claim under this Agreement any limitation, defense, set off or
counterclaim that any Seller could have asserted, other than defenses based upon or relating to (i) any Seller’s insolvency, bankruptcy or similar inability to pay or perform or (ii) the due authorization, execution, delivery, enforceability or
validity of this Agreement or any of the other Related Agreements by or against any Seller. 
  
 11.3 Remedies. If Sellers Liabilities are not paid or performed forthwith by Seller Parent to Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person at Purchaser’s principal 

  

 98 








 
place of business, Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Person may proceed to arbitration against Seller Parent. At Purchaser’s election,
one or more successive or concurrent arbitration proceedings may be brought hereunder by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person against Seller Parent, whether or not an arbitration proceeding has been commenced against any Seller. In any such
arbitration proceeding any Seller may be joined (but need not be joined) as a party with Seller Parent. In addition, subject to Section 12.14, Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Person may exercise any other right or remedy provided by
Law for breach of this Agreement by Seller Parent. 
  
 11.4
Mergers, Consolidations, Sales.

covenants that if it dissolves or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all its assets or consolidates with or merges into another Person or entity, then it will cause the surviving or successor Person to assume in writing its obligations
herein. 
  
 (b) If a consolidation, merger or sale or other
transfer is made as permitted by this Section 11.4, the provisions of this Section 11.4 shall continue in full force and effect and no further consolidation, merger or sale or other transfer shall be made except in compliance with the
provisions of this Section 11.4.

 102 








 (h) For purposes of this Section 12.14, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably
submits and consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts of New York, New York. 
  
 (i) No arbitration under this Agreement shall include, by consolidation, joinder or any other manner, any person or entity not a party to this Agreement, unless (i) the dispute involving the person or entity is
substantially related to the dispute being arbitrated under this Agreement and involves a common question of fact or law, and (ii) the presence of such person or entity is required if complete relief is to be accorded in the arbitration. If a
separate arbitration is commenced between any of the parties to this Agreement under any Related Agreement, it shall be consolidated with any arbitration pending under this Agreement, unless the arbitral tribunal determines that justice requires

 12.15
Schedules. Any information disclosed pursuant to any Schedule hereto or to the Additional Representations Certificate shall be deemed to be disclosed to Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement. Neither the specification of any Dollar
amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in any Schedule hereto or to the Additional Representations Certificate is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower
amounts, or the item or matter so included or other items or matters, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between
the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule hereto or to the Additional Representations Certificate is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement
specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in any Schedule hereto or to the Additional
Representations Certificate is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter
in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule hereto or to the Additional Representations Certificate is or is not in the ordinary course of business
for purposes of this Agreement. Sellers may, from time to time prior to or at the Initial Closing or any Subsequent Closing, by notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, supplement or amend any Schedule, including one or more
supplements or amendments to correct any matter which would constitute a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained herein. No such supplemental or amended Schedule shall be deemed to cure any breach for purposes of
Section 7.2(a). If, however, the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing occurs, any such supplement and amendment will be effective to cure and correct for all other purposes any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
obligation which would have existed if Seller had not made such supplement or amendment, and all references to any Schedule hereto which is supplemented or amended as provided in this Section 12.15 shall for all purposes after the applicable
Closing be deemed to be a reference to such Schedule as so supplemented or amended.

to, voluntarily and unconditionally release and forever discharge the Sellers and their respective successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and all of their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, agents
and representatives from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, claims and demands of the Acquired Companies, Purchaser or their Affiliates, related to the Acquired Companies or their subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their businesses

businesses (except for rights or obligations arising under this Agreement or the Related Agreements, including under Article X, and fraud and willful misconduct) that arise out of acts, events, conditions or omissions occurring or existing
from the time any such Acquired Company (or any predecessor of any such Acquired Company) was formed or otherwise organized to and including, with respect to any Acquired Company, the applicable Closing Date.

(“Seller Representative”). Seller Parent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform all of the duties of the Seller Representative provided hereunder. 
  
 (b) Each Seller hereby authorizes the Seller Representative to make all decisions and take all actions on its behalf to
administer the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent that this Agreement specifically requires Purchaser to deal directly with a particular Seller or if the Seller Representative otherwise instructs Purchaser to deal directly with
one or more Sellers), including (i) the receipt from Purchaser of all payments made by Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) giving and receiving of notices to be given or received by any Seller, and (iii) the contest, defense or
settlement of any claims for which any Seller may be required or requested to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.2. All decisions and actions by the Seller Representative permitted by this Agreement shall be binding upon all of the
Sellers, and no Seller shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.
