identified third party, or b) seek potential buyers for its Shares, it must provide notice regarding such decision to the remaining shareholder (the “Remaining Shareholder”) in accordance with Clause Fifteen (“Notice
of Sale”), and must provide a copy to the NEWCO Board of Directors, informing the Party and the Board of the nature of the transfer it proposes to undertake, the price, and other conditions of the transaction and, in the case set out in

object to the Third Party Purchaser (“Veto Right”) in accordance with the Third Party Purchaser Validation Process, described in Clause 5.2.8.1. 

  


	 	b.	 Within a period of six (6) months following the receipt of the Notice of Sale (“Response Period”), the Remaining Shareholder may exercise its
purchase option right (“Right of First Refusal”) regarding the shares for sale, under the terms contained in the notice, offering to pay the same sum of money under the same conditions described in the notice. If the Remaining Shareholder
decides to exercise its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall have a maximum of twenty (20) calendar days, as of the date on which the Offering Shareholder receives the communication from the Remaining Shareholder to conclude the transfer

wishes to exercise

the Right of First Refusal, the Offering Shareholder will have up to two (2) months to execute the share transfer agreement with the Third Party
Purchaser; or 


  

	 	c.	Within the Response Period, the Remaining Shareholder may exercise its right to sell all the shares it owns (Tag Along Right) in the same terms and conditions set out in the offer
made by the Offering Shareholder and notified to the Remaining Shareholder, and in such event, the Third Party Purchaser must purchase all the NEWCO shares under those terms and conditions. If the Remaining Shareholder chooses to exercise its Tag
Along Right, the Offering Shareholder will have a maximum of six (6) months, as of the notice from the Remaining Shareholder that it shall exercise the Tag Along Right, to perfect the transfer of all of the shares to the Third Party Purchaser.

Offering Shareholder will have up to two (2) months to execute the share transfer agreement with the Third Party Purchaser. 

  

	 	d.	If the Remaining Shareholder does not exercise its Veto Right within the above stated fifteen-day period or does not notify the Offering Party within the Response Period of its
desire to exercise the Right of First Refusal or Tag Along Right, then the Offering Shareholder may freely sell its shares to the Third Party Purchaser, as long as it does so for a price that is not lower or under payment conditions that are not
more favorable than those provided to the Remaining Shareholder. 

  

	 	e.	The fact that the Remaining Shareholder waives or fails to timely exercise its Right of First Refusal, Tag Along Right or Veto Right does not imply that it may not exercise the
other rights set out in clause 5.2.5.1, as long as such is does so within the time period established in each of the preceding paragraphs for each individual right.

possibility that the Remaining Shareholder directly purchase the shares or purchases them through a third party that it proposes; or it may opt to exercise its Tag Along Right, which in this case shall mean that the Remaining Shareholder shall sell
all its shares to the Third Party Purchaser, as long as the terms and conditions negotiated by the Offering Shareholder are the same or better than those that the Offering Shareholder had proposed in the Notice of Sale. 

  

 6 









	 	b.	If the Remaining Shareholder decides to exercise its Right of First Refusal within the Response Period, then the Parties shall have twenty (20) calendar days, from the date of
notice given by the Remaining Shareholder of its desire to exercise the right, to perfect the transfer of shares. If the Remaining Shareholder provides notice regarding its wish not to exercise its Right of First Refusal, or provides no notice
within the Response Period, or if the term of twenty (20) calendar days designated herein expires before the transfer of shares from the Offering Shareholder to the Remaining Shareholder has been consummated, then the Offering Shareholder shall
have up to one year, as of the notice from the Remaining Shareholder waiving the Right of First Refusal or accepting the Tag Along Right, whichever occurs later, or starting from the expiration of the Response Period deadline, if the Remaining
Shareholder has not sent notice concerning any of the rights (Right of First Refusal or Tag Along Right) within the Response Period. 

  

	 	c.	If the Offering Shareholder receives an offer from a Third Party Purchaser, then it must inform the Remaining Shareholder of such and the latter will have a maximum term of fifteen
days, starting as of the date on which it received such notice, to exercise its Veto Right, in accordance with the Third Party Purchaser Validation Process, described in Clause 5.2.8.1. 

  

	 	d.	The transfer of shares must be carried out within two (2) months after approval of the Third Party Purchaser, whether expressly by the Remaining Shareholder or by the Board of
Dignitaries in accordance with clause 5.2.8.1, or upon the expiration of the fifteen-day term set out in clause 5.2.5.2.b., assuming the Veto Right has not been exercised. 

  

	 	e.	The sale of shares to a Third Party Purchaser must be made at a price that is not less than, nor conditions of payment that are more beneficial than, those offered to the Remaining
Shareholder. 

  

	 	f.	If the transfer of shares to the Third Party Purchaser is not carried out within the time periods established in this clause, and the Offering Shareholder is interested in selling
its shares on the market, then the Offering Shareholder must issue a new notice for the sale of shares to third parties and the Right of First Refusal must newly be granted to the Remaining Shareholder. 

  

	 	g.	Once the procedure in Clause 5.2.5.b has been met, it is hereby understood that once the Offering Shareholder finds a Third Party Purchaser under the conditions provided in this
clause 5.2.5.2., it shall not be compelled in any way to grant the Right of First Refusal or the Tag Along Right to the Remaining Shareholder. 

  

	 	5.2.6. 	It is hereby understood that in the circumstances indicated in clauses 5.2.5.1 and 5.2.5.2. the PARTIES may not perform partial sales of their shares to third parties and that each
and every sale of shares carried out in accordance with the stipulations of this Clause shall be payable only in cash, check, electronic transfer of funds or any other means agreed on between the PARTIES. 

  

 7 









	 	5.2.7. 	In accordance with the Clause Eleven, below, in any conveyance or transfer of shares permitted, the acquiring party must, concurrently with the transfer in question, agree in
writing to the present agreement, in all its terms, and consequently, assume all the rights and obligations contained in such. 

  

	 	5.2.8. 	In any of the cases indicated in Clauses 5.2.5.1. and 5.2.5.2., the Third Party Purchaser must meet all suitability and ethical quality standards reasonably acceptable for the
Remaining Shareholder, who may exercise a veto right on such, in accordance with the validation process indicated in Clause 5.2.8.1., below. To exercise this veto right, the Remaining Shareholder must hold at least seventeen percent (17%) of
the shares of the Company, validly issued, subscribed and paid-up 

  

	 	5.2.8.1. 	Third Party Purchaser Validation Process 

  

	 	a.	If the Remaining Shareholder objects to the Third Party Purchaser, such must, within fifteen calendar days as of the Notice of Sale, or when the potential buyer is effectively
established, in the case of 5.2.5.2., provide notice to the Offering Shareholder in accordance with clause fifteen stating the reasons for such objection (“Objection Letter”) and the proposed date for a conciliation, which must be carried
out in the place of business between the fifth and tenth business day after the Objection Letter is received. The Third Party Purchaser shall be considered automatically accepted if the Remaining Shareholder does not provide any objection within the
indicated period or if it fails to attend the proposed conciliation. 

  

	 	b.	If no agreement is reached once the conciliation is held, at that time the Parties must submit their dispute to a board conformed by three individuals (the “Board of
Dignitaries”) and set the date and time on which the single hearing shall be held, and such shall be held at the place of business, unless otherwise agreed. No later than three (3) workdays after the conciliation has been held, the Parties
must each propose one member of the Board of Dignitaries who is available to attend to the hearing. The two Dignitaries designated by the Parties must necessarily designate a third member within the following three workdays, as of the time that the
two Dignitaries are designated. If one of the Parties does not designate its Dignitary or if such dignitaries do not designate a third, then the designated Dignitaries or any of the Parties may request the Costa Rican Banking Association to make the
necessary designations. 

  

	 	c.	The Dignitaries must be individuals holding or that have held, within the last three (3) years, management positions in banks that are members of the national bank system. They
shall make judicious decisions and their parameters with respect to deciding the suitability and/or moral quality of the Third Party Purchaser shall be those ordinarily taken into consideration by a bank of the national bank system in order to
accept or reject a client, without taking such client’s financial situation into account it being understood that only the Party’s moral quality is being assessed. 

  

 8 









	 	d.	The Board of Dignitaries must make its decision within a period of five workdays following the hearing, and the decision shall be limited to stating whether in the opinion of the
Board of Dignitaries the Third Party Purchaser is reasonably qualified with regard to its suitability and moral quality. 

  

	 	e.	The decision made by the Board of Dignitaries shall be binding on the Parties and will not be subject to appeal. 

  

	 	f.	The complete process described herein shall be carried out under the strictest confidentiality. The parties acknowledge the importance of this obligation and thus, of a Party
violates this obligation, then it will be charged for damages caused by the party that has revealed all or part of the information, documentation, discussions or comments held and made during the Board meeting regarding the Third Party Purchaser, or
the identity of the Dignitaries. 

  

	 	5.2.9 	Shares may be transferred, conveyed or assigned only as specifically permitted and in accordance with the relevant procedures specified in the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company and this Agreement and, if any conflict arises, this Agreement shall prevail over the Articles of Incorporation. If a PARTY transfers its shares in any way, then it shall exclusively assume all expenses arising from such transaction.


  

	 	5.2.10 	The PARTIES state that if it becomes impossible to consummate or perfect any transaction described herein, then the PARTY causing such impossibility because of omission, fraud,
negligence, or intentional misconduct (the “Breaching Party”) shall be responsible to the other party (“the Non-breaching Party”) for damages caused to the latter, or to the Third Party Purchaser in the event the Third Party
Purchaser such proceeds against both Parties for breach. Damage and detriment shall be established in accordance with clause sixteen. 

  

	 	5.2.11 	 Notwithstanding the provisions of the present Clause, JBE hereby states and declares that it shall not transfer, assign, sell nor convey all or part of its shares
to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., SHV Holdings, N.V. (Makro), Dayton Hudson Corporation, Kmart Corporation, The Home Depot, Inc., Costco companies, Inc., Carrefour, S.A., BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc., or any individual or company affiliated with these
corporations or dedicated to a line of business that competes with PRICESMART. The Parties agree that if JBE obtains an offer for any of the above mentioned companies, then JBE must offer those shares to PriceSmart, and PriceSmart may
(i) acquire all the shares possessed at that time by JBE at the Fair Market Value; or (ii) exercise its Tag Along Right. The Fair Market Value shall be established in accordance with the following procedure: the PARTIES, in mutual
agreement, shall establish the value of JBE’s shares within five calendar days starting as of the moment that JBE provides notice to PRICESMART. In the event of a disagreement, they shall jointly designate an individual from the company
(“Expert”) to establish the value of the shares of the Company. Payment to the Expert shall be borne by the Company. If no agreement is reached within a term of ten calendar days, starting as of the notice provided by JBE to PriceSmart
indicating the existence of the offer made 



  

 9 









	 	 
by one of the before indicated companies, then each of the PARTIES shall appoint an expert, the costs of which shall be borne by each of them.



 Each PARTY’s Expert must submit his or her report within thirty calendar days after being designated, and the two
results shall be averaged. The average of both appraisals shall determine the value of the shares, except if the highest appraisal is at least ten (10) percent higher than the lowest appraisal, in which case the Experts shall hire a third
Expert, who will be paid by the Company, and who shall established the final price of the shares, which may not be greater than the highest or less than the lowest appraisal. Once the Fair Market Value has been established PRICESMART shall decide,
within the next five (5) calendar days, if it will purchase the JBE shares at the Fair Market Value or if it authorizes the sale to the company presenting the offer, in which case it will not enjoy the Tag Along Right. The PARTIES understand
and accept that in each instance this Agreement indicates the use of Fair Market Value they are to follow the procedure set out in this Clause. 
  

	5.3.	RESTRICTIONS 

 No Shareholder of the Company shall pawn, mortgage, encumber
in any way, directly or indirectly, whether fully or partially, its shares in the Company, its right of use on such Shares or on any other rights deriving from or ascribed to such (including voting rights and the right to receive dividends) without
the prior, specific and written consent of the other Shareholder. 
 With regard to any right or obligation under this Agreement or the Articles of
Incorporation or any other right or obligation involving its capacity as a Shareholder of the Company, no Shareholder shall pawn, mortgage, encumber in any way, directly or indirectly, whether partially or fully, such right of use on such rights or
obligations or the rights deriving from or attributed to such, nor shall any Shareholder constitute or intend to constitute any trust whatsoever on such rights or obligations without the prior specific and written consent of the other Shareholder.

  

	5.4.	CURRENT CAPITAL AND ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS 

  

	 	5.4.1. 	The share capital of the Company is twelve thousand colones (official currency of Costa Rica). The PARTIES acknowledge that they have made additional contributions for a total of
four million two hundred twenty-four thousand five hundred and seventy-nine dollars and sixty-seven cents (US$ 4,224,579.67). Each of them has made capital contributions equal to two million one hundred twelve thousand two hundred eighty-nine
dollars and eighty-four cents (US$2,112,289.84). 

  

	 	5.4.2. 	Likewise, the PARTIES agree to make additional contributions to NEWCO’s capital, in accordance with the specified additional contribution schedule referred to in
Section 8.4 of this Agreement. 

  

 10 









	 	5.4.3. 	If the Board of Directors considers it necessary or suitable to require the PARTIES to perform additional contributions to NEWCO’s capital (whether through cash contributions,
contributions in kind, shareholder loans, external financing, or any other method), a justified resolution must be issued and then approved by all the members of the Board. Such decision shall set the sum of the contribution to be made by each of
the PARTIES (which must be proportional to each PARTY’s share participation) and shall set the period of time that the PARTIES will have to make such contribution or, if they are unable to make all or part of such contribution, the period of
time and method in which the Company and the other PARTY must be notified of such situation. For the effects of this agreement, the additional contributions necessary for project construction shall be referred to as “Operating
Contributions.” The PARTIES agree that for Operating Contributions that exceed five hundred thousand dollars (US$ 500,000.00) per PARTY, the term to make such contributions will be at least six (6) months following the decision of the
Board of Directors. Likewise, the PARTIES agree that the aggregate Operating Contributions during any one semester may not exceed the sum of five hundred thousand dollars (US$ 500,000.00) per PARTY. 

  

	 	5.4.4. 	In any event, if contributions exceeding twenty (20) percent of the total established in Annex B are required, as long as such increase is not due to increases in the
construction costs of the Project, the lack of agreement shall not be considered an obstruction for effects of Clause 9.1. In such event, the PARTY proposing the extraordinary contribution (the Offerer in those terms contained in Clause 9.3) must
present the offer for the purchase of shares of the Offeree, as per that set out in Clause 9.3, but with the following difference: once the offer is received, the Offeree may (i) decide to accept the offer for the sale of its shares;
(ii) purchase the shares of the Offerer (according to the mechanism in Clause 9.3); or (iii) the Offeree may choose to sell its shares to the Offerer at the Fair Market Value, which shall be calculated according to the procedure set out in
Clause 5.2.11. 

  

	 	5.4.5. 	If one of the PARTIES (the “Breaching Party”) notifies the other PARTY that it will not fulfill all or part of the contribution required by the Board of
Directors, or if the Breaching Party does not, totally or partially, make the required contribution within the term set out for such effect by the Board of Directors in the respective resolution, the other Party (the “Non-breaching
Party”) may, as soon as possible, but not to exceed SIXTY (60) calendar days, starting as the date on which it receives such notice, or as of the date on which the contribution was to be made, whichever should first occur, and once
it has proceeded to make the corresponding contribution of capital that is required, exercise one of the following options: 

  

	 	a.	 Acquire all the shares that at such time are owned by the Breaching Party, for a value equal to NINETY PERCENT (90%) of the higher of the Fair Market Value,
which shall be established in accordance with the formula indicated in Clause 5.2.11 and all the sums paid to such date for the concept of contributions of capital to the Company (whether or not 



  

 11 









	 	 
capitalized) by the Breaching Party. If the Non-Breaching Party should decide to exercise this option, the Breaching Party must deliver, without delay, all
its shares in the Company, duly endorsed as required by applicable legislation, to the Non-Breaching Party, simultaneous with payment of the before stated value to the Breaching Party, and consequently shall lose its right to appoint members to the
Board of Directors of the Company and thus, the Non-Breaching Party may replace all those Directors appointed up to that date by the Breaching Party; 


  

	 	b.	Contribute an additional amount equal to the capital contribution the Breaching Party should have made, receiving in consideration an amount of Company shares proportionally equal

under the terms and conditions it considers to be suitable considering the interests of the company, as long as this is performed with funds originating from the net income produced from the balances legally approved by the shareholders convened at
a Shareholders’ Meeting, unless the purchase is performed solely to redeem such shares and proportionally reduce the authorized capital of the company. In no event may the purchase be made for an amount less than the nominal value, except in

line of operations of the company. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, dividends may not be paid nor distributions of any nature be disbursed, other than on the net liquid profits resulting from the balance sheet approved by the shareholders.
