 ANNEX A 

This Annex A is a part of and is incorporated into that certain letter agreement (together, the “Agreement”) dated
January 22, 2007, by and between Digicel Limited (the “Company”), Island Capital Limited and Island Capital Services Limited (both hereinafter referred to as “Island Capital”). 

In the event that Island Capital or any of its affiliates, the respective directors, officers, partners, agents or employees of Island Capital or any of its
affiliates, or any other person controlling Island Capital or any of its affiliates (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”) becomes involved in any capacity in any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding, actual or
threatened, brought by or against any person, including shareholders of the Company, in connection with or as a result of the engagement or any matter referred to in the engagement, the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Person for its
reasonable and customary legal and other expenses (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for and responding to third party subpoenas or enforcing this agreement or any related
engagement agreement) incurred in connection therewith as such expenses are incurred. The Company will also indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Person from and against, and the Company agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any
liability to the Company or its owners, parents, affiliates, security holders or creditors for, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including actions or proceedings in respect thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) related
to or arising out of the engagement or Island Capital’s performance thereof, except that this provision shall not apply to any Losses that are finally determined by a court of Bermuda to have resulted primarily from the bad faith or negligence
of Island Capital. 
 If such indemnification is for any reason not available or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, the Company agrees to
contribute to the Losses involved in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received (or anticipated to be received) by the Company, on the one hand, and by Island Capital, on the other hand, with respect to the
engagement or, if such allocation is determined by a court of Bermuda to be unavailable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect other equitable considerations such as the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of Island
Capital, on the other hand; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnified Persons shall not be responsible for amounts which in the aggregate are in excess of the amount of all fees actually
received by Island Capital from the Company in connection with the engagement. Relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to Island Capital, on the other hand, with respect to the engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
as (i) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not consummated, bears to (ii) all fees actually received by Island Capital in
connection with the engagement. Relative fault shall be determined, in the case of Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged 







 
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company to Island Capital and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of any pending or threatened action claim, suit, investigation or
proceeding (an “Action”) against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided that failure to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have on account of this indemnity or otherwise, except to the extent the Company shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall, if
requested by Island Capital, assume the defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Island Capital. Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person, unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the named
parties to any such Action (including any impleaded parties) include such Indemnified Person and the Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or in addition to those available to the Company; provided that the Company shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel in connection with any Action in the same
jurisdiction, in addition to any local counsel. The Company will not, without Island Capital’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Action in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party therein) unless the Company has given Island Capital reasonable prior written notice thereof and such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes
an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from any liabilities arising out of such Action. The Company will not permit any such settlement, compromise, consent or termination to include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, without such Indemnified Person’s prior written consent. No Indemnified Person seeking indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under this agreement will, without
the Company’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Action referred to herein. 

The Company’s obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Person may have at common law. The Company acknowledges that
in connection with the engagement Island Capital is acting as an independent contractor and not in any other capacity with duties owing solely to the Company.
