Subject to the limitations set forth in this Clause 8, the Seller shall be liable to the Buyers and the Subsidiaries for the breach of any indemnity, Representations and Warranties, covenant, agreement, undertaking or other matter whatsoever provided under or pursuant to this Agreement and/or any other Sale and Purchase Documents and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyers for any Damages suffered by the Buyers or by the Subsidiaries as a result of any breach thereof.

 

	
8.2

	
Exceptions to the Liability of the Seller

 

	
8.2.1

	
The Parties agree that the Seller shall not be liable for a Non-compliance to the extent that the facts, acts or circumstances giving rise to such Non-compliance have been Fairly Disclosed or to the extent that the Buyer or any of its officers has actual knowledge of the claim or of the matters giving rise to the claim as at the date hereof.

 

	
8.2.2

	
Furthermore, the Parties agree the following limitations to the Seller ́s liability pursuant this Clause 8:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
The Seller shall not be liable for any such claim (or a portion thereof) for a Non-compliance to the extent that the matter giving rise to the claim has been provided for and specifically itemized in the Financial Statements (either in whole or in part, and if in part, the Seller will not be liable for the portion provided for in the Financial Statements).

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
The Seller shall not be liable for any claim for a Non-compliance as a consequence of any change, amendment or modification of any applicable law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation of such law or regulation) or the administrative practices of any government, administrative body, agency or regulatory body, in each case occurring after the Closing Date (irrespective of the fact that any such amendment or change may have retrospective effect).

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
The Seller shall not be liable for any claim for a Non-compliance to the extent such claim arises out of any change subsequent to the Closing Date to the terms of the accounting principles, policies, practices and methods applicable to the preparation of the Financial Statements or to the valuation of the assets and liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

	
  

	
(d)

	
The Seller shall not be liable for any claim for a Non-compliance to the extent such claim is attributable to any act, omission or transaction carried out as a result of any written instruction of the Buyers’ Representative, or with the written consent of the Buyers’ Representative, its successors, or assignees, provided that this limitation shall not apply to any act or omission done at the Buyers’ Representative’s written instruction in connection with the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement.

 

	
  

	
(e)

	
The Seller shall not be liable for any portion of a claim for a Non-compliance that is a covered loss and in respect of which the Buyers have actually recovered Damages from a Third-Party (taking account of any Taxes payable on any amount so recovered) (which for these purposes shall be deemed to include all costs incurred by the Buyers or any of their Affiliates in enforcing any insurance policy, indemnity or other claim again such Third Party) and, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Buyers have not actually recovered Damages from a Third-Party in respect of any portion of such claim, the Seller shall be liable to the Buyers for

 

  

20

  

 

such unrecovered portion.  For the purpose of this Clause, the term “covered loss” shall mean:

 

	
  

	
(i)

	
Damages that are reimbursable by an insurance policy in force in favor of the Company or its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date;

 

	
  

	
(ii)

	
Damages that would have been reimbursable by an insurance policy but for any change in the terms of such insurance policy since the date of Closing;

 

	
  

	
(iii)

	
Damages in respect of which the Buyer is entitled to an indemnity from a Third-Party.

 

In connection with this sub-Clause 8.2.2(e), each relevant Buyer shall be obligated to comply with its obligations under Clause 8.2.3(a) and its reasonable efforts to claim under all applicable insurance policies and Third-Party indemnities.

 

	
  

	
(f)

	
If the Seller pays a Buyer an amount in connection with a claim for Non-compliance and afterwards such Buyer receives from a Third-Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxation Authority pursuant to Clause 8.2.3(b)) any payment or benefit in respect of such claim, such Buyer will refund the Seller an amount equivalent to the value of the payment received, less the aggregate costs and expenses (including Tax) incurred by such Buyer and its Affiliates in recovering such payment from such Third-Party.

 

	
  

	
(g)

	
The Buyers shall not be entitled to more than one indemnity, reimbursement or compensation in respect of the same Damage.

 

	
  

	
(h)

	
The Seller shall not be liable for either the accuracy or the effective fulfillment of the business plans, budgets or any other future forecasts made with respect to the business of the Company or the Subsidiaries.

 

	
  

	
(i)

	
The Seller shall not be liable for any claim to the extent the Damages arising from such claim have been paid or offset in any other way, without any cost (or loss of benefit) to the Buyers or any of their Affiliates.

 

	
8.2.3

	
In respect of the scope of the Seller ́s liability, the following shall apply:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
The relevant Buyer shall carry out reasonable steps for the purpose of mitigating any loss or liability arising out of any claim by such Buyer under this Agreement.

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
When assessing the amount of any Damages owed as a result of any claim under this Agreement, there shall be deducted from the relevant amount of the Damages any deductions, set-offs, credits or other reliefs that are available to the relevant Buyers or the Subsidiaries (and could not have otherwise been used by a Buyer or any Subsidiary) directly in consequence of the matter which gave rise to such claim and which have directly resulted at the time of determination of the Damages in a reduction in an actual payment of Tax by any of those entities that would otherwise have been payable. if at a later date the matter which gave rise to such claim result directly in a reduction (or a reduction in addition to one that has already been taken into account under this sub-clause) in an actual payment of Tax by any of those entities that would otherwise have been payable, the value of such later reduction shall be paid to the Seller no later than 60 days from the

 

  

21

  

 

date of the relevant reduction in payment of Tax, and the Buyers agree that they shall (and shall procure that the relevant Subsidiaries shall after Closing) as far as is reasonable in relation to the value involved take such reasonable actions as are necessary administratively to realise any reduced Tax payment as referred to in this sentence but shall not be required to take other actions such as making elections and claims that prevent the aims of normal post-Closing Tax planning being fully achieved or undertaking any reorganisation of any entity or its business and assets.  Nothing in the previous sentence shall require any Buyer or Subsidiary to make any payment or otherwise grant any benefit to the Seller when a relevant Tax repayment arises in circumstances in which the Buyer or the relevant Subsidiary has an alternative relief, set-off or credit that would have been used but is displaced and so deferred or lost because the relief, set-off or credit from the claim takes precedence under relevant tax law.

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
The Parties expressly agree to apply the liability terms of this Agreement and to exclude the subsidiary application of the liability regime applicable to the purchase and sale operations foreseen in the Spanish Civil Code and particularly excluding (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under article 1.124 of Spanish Civil Code, and (ii) the regime of hidden defects of article 1.484 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Code (vicios ocultos).

 

	
  

	
(d)

	
The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any claim to the extent that the subject of such claim is in respect of: (i) indirect or consequential loss; (ii) loss of goodwill or future profits, save to the extent such future profits (x) are reasonably foreseeable; (y) based on binding agreements entered into by the person suffering such loss of profit and (z) the loss of such profit arises as a direct consequence of a Non-compliance.

 

	
  

	
(e)

	
The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any claim to the extent that it relates to a liability which is contingent or not capable of being quantified unless and until the liability ceases to be contingent or becomes capable of being quantified, as the case may be; provided that, for the purpose of the time limitations set forth in Clause 8.3, notice of a claim that is given to the Seller in accordance with clause 8.5 shall be deemed validly and timely given, notwithstanding the fact that a liability is contingent only or is otherwise not capable of being quantified at the time when written notice of that claim is given.

 

	
8.2.4

	
The provisions of this Clause 8.2 shall be applicable notwithstanding any other contrary provision set forth in this Agreement (other than Clause 8.5.3).

 

	
8.3

	
Periods of Guaranty

 

A Buyer may bring an indemnity claim against the Seller pursuant to Clause 8.1:

(b)

	
within three months of the expiry of the relevant legal statute period of limitation for any Damages arising from any Non-compliance of the Representations and Warranties set out in paragraphs 10 and 11 of Schedule VII; and

 

  

22

  

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
during the period of 18 months after the Closing Date in respect of all other Representations and Warranties.

The Seller’s liability and its obligation to indemnify the Buyers for any Damages shall have an overall, aggregate maximum limit of:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
100% of the Cash Purchase Price in respect of any Non-compliance with the Core Warranties;

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
20% of the Cash Purchase Price in respect of all other Non-compliances with the Representations and Warranties; and

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
25% of the Cash Purchase Price in respect of Clause 9.2.1(e),

 

provided that (i) in no event shall the aggregate Damages actually recovered by a Buyer from the Seller in respect of Non-compliances and all other claims under this Agreement exceed 100% of the Cash Purchase Price; and (ii) all Damages actually recovered by a Buyer from the Seller in respect of any Warranties (other than Core Warranties) may not exceed 25% of the Cash Purchase Price.

 

	
8.4.2

	
The relevant Buyer shall be entitled to recover the entire amount of Damages incurred by the Buyers collectively as a consequence of all Non-compliances with the Core Warranties, and Clauses 8.4.3 and 8.4.4 shall not apply.

 

	
8.4.3

	
With respect to the Representations and Warranties (other than the Core Warranties), the amount to be paid by the Seller to a Buyer pursuant to Clause 8.1 may only be demanded by the latter in the event that the accumulated Damages incurred by the Buyers collectively as a consequence of all Non-compliances exceed the amount of €3,000,000, provided that (for the avoidance of doubt) if such threshold is met the relevant Buyer shall be entitled to recover the entire amount of its accumulated Damages.

 

	
8.4.4

	
In performing the calculation in Clause 8.4.3 above, only those instances of Non-compliance for which the value of the Damages arising therefrom exceeds €100.000 (the “Individual Deductible”) shall be counted.  All Damages arising out of the same set of facts or circumstances shall be aggregated for the purposes of determining whether the Individual Deductible has been met.

 

 

	
  

	
8.5

	
Claim Procedure

 

	
8.5.1

	
Procedure for asserting claims in the event of Damages not arising out of Third-Party claims

 

In the event of any Damages not arising out of or in connection with a Third-Party claim, the procedure to assert a claim shall be as follows:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
The Buyers’ Representative shall notify the Seller of any claim within 30 Calendar Days of discovering the same. If the Buyers’ Representative fails to notify the Seller of a claim within such time period, the relevant Buyer shall only be prohibited from bringing a claim to the extent that the delay in doing so has prejudiced the Seller’s defense.

 

  

23

  

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
Such notification shall include (to the extent available) a description of the nature and amount of the Damages, with reference to the Clause of the Agreement that has been breached and a copy of any supporting documentation that is available in order to allow the Seller to properly evaluate the claim.

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
The Seller shall have a period of 60 Calendar Days from the receipt of such notification to reject or accept liability for the relevant Buyer’s claim (in whole or in part) in writing. If the Seller rejects any part of the claim in writing within such period, the Seller and the relevant Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute for a further period of 30 Calendar Days. If the dispute is not resolved to the relevant Buyer’s satisfaction by the end of such further period, the relevant Buyer shall have the right to proceed with that part of its claim that is still in dispute in accordance with Clause 14. The value of each Determined Claim shall be increased to include interest thereon at the sole discretion of the arbitral tribunal referred to within Clause 14.

 

	
  

	
(d)

	
The Seller shall only be bound by a duty to indemnify (on and subject to the terms of this Agreement) the Buyers in respect of Damages for which it has accepted liability or that are confirmed in an arbitral award (and in the amount declared therein) made pursuant to, and in accordance with Clause 14.

 

	
  

	
(e)

	
The period for the payment of any amount to be indemnified hereunder, shall be 15 Calendar Days following: (1) the Seller notifying the Buyers’ Representative of its acceptance of liability in accordance with sub-Clause (c) above, or (2) an arbitral award pursuant to Clause 14 being notified to the Seller.

 

	
8.5.2

	
Procedure of asserting claims in the event of Damages arising out of Third-Party claims

 

In the case of any Damages arising out of a Third-Party claim, the procedure to assert any such claim shall be as follows:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
Within 30 Calendar Days of receiving notice of a Third-Party claim (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include an inspection procedure by an administrative authority having jurisdiction over a Subsidiary), the Buyers’ Representative must (save with respect to a Third-Party claim in respect of a Labour Dispute that has a value equal to at least €200,000) notify the Seller of the existence of the aforementioned claim (or, if the time limit for responding to any such claim is less than 30 Calendar Days then the Buyers’ Representative shall notify the Seller of such claim as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice thereof but in any case, with sufficient time (to the extent it is able to do so) to allow the Seller to exercise the right to take over conduct of any Third-Party claim). The Buyers’ Representative shall attach to such notice a copy of the Third-Party claim or inspection notice and specify the Clause of the Agreement by virtue of which the Buyers’ Representative believes that such claim should be indemnified. If the Buyers’ Representative fails to notify the Seller of a Third-Party claim procedure within such time period, the relevant Buyer shall only be prohibited from bringing a claim to the extent the delay in doing so has prejudiced the Seller’s defense. Should the notice of the Buyers’ Representative not allow the Seller to exercise the right to take over conduct of such claim according to the terms of this Clause, the Seller will not be liable for Damages arising out of such Third-Party to the extent that not taking over conduct of such claim has materially prejudiced the defense of such claim.

 

  

24

  

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
If the Seller wishes to take over conduct of a Third-Party claim (including any Labour Dispute) (and is not prohibited from doing so under sub-Clause (e) below), then the Seller shall have the right to do so by written notice to the Buyers’ Representative within 10 Calendar Days of receipt of the notice referred to in sub-Clause (a) provided that the Seller first agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyers and/or their Affiliates (on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Buyers acting in good faith and subject to the limitations of liability set out in this Clause 8).  If the Seller is unwilling to provide the indemnity described in the preceding sentence, it may by written notice to the Buyers’ Representative within 10 Calendar Days of receipt of the notice referred to in sub-Clause (a) (and subject always to applicable law) require that the Parties have joint conduct of the Third-Party claim.  Following the delivery of such notice, the Buyers’ Representative shall within 15 Calendar Days select one of the Approved Firms in the relevant jurisdiction that represent the Atento group companies to represent the Buyers and/or the Subsidiaries that are named as defendants of the Third-Party claim and such firm shall be jointly instructed by the Seller and the Buyers.  If at any time the Seller and the Buyers’ Representative cannot agree on the direction or strategy of the proceedings of the Third-Party claim,  the Seller or the Buyers’ Representative (as applicable) shall forthwith notify the other in writing of such determination.  Following delivery of any such notice, the Seller shall have 3 Business Days in which to take over sole conduct of the Third-Party claim by delivering to the Buyers’ Representative the indemnity described at the beginning of this sub-Clause 8.5.2, failing which the relevant Buyers shall have sole conduct of the Third-Party claim.

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
If the Seller takes over conduct of any Third-Party claim: (A) the Seller shall be able to participate in the direction of all negotiations and the correspondence with the Third-Party claimant, appoint a lawyer and legal representative and request that the relevant Buyer contest or settle the claim in accordance with the instructions of the Seller (provided the relevant Buyer shall only be required to comply with a settlement request if the Seller has paid to the relevant Buyer or a Subsidiary (as applicable) the necessary funds to comply with the settlement agreement (having regard to the provisions of Clause 8.4); (B) the relevant Buyer shall share with the Seller in a timely manner any information it receives regarding the proceedings and the Seller shall keep the relevant Buyer informed of the proceedings in a timely and complete manner (but no less frequently than on a weekly basis); and (C) the relevant Buyer shall procure that, upon the prior written request and reasonable notice of the Seller and provided that it does not materially disrupt the business or operations of the affected Group Companies, the affected Group Companies take all steps reasonably required by the Seller to facilitate the defense of the Third-Party claim and minimize the Damages arising out of the claim, including providing information and documents that are necessary, including access to the pertinent commercial records and documents and consultations (save to the extent any such disclosure of information would constitute a breach of applicable law or regulation or any binding confidentiality obligation of the relevant Buyer or any Subsidiary or would compromise any legal privilege); and (D) not taking any measure regarding the claim that may conflict with the defense assumed by the Seller or may harm the same until the final resolution thereof, provided always that the Buyer shall not be bound by any obligation under this sub-Clause (b) if it would be detrimental to the interests of the Buyers or any Subsidiary.

 

  

25

  

 

	
  

	
(d)

	
If, in order to oppose a Third-Party claim, it is necessary to grant any type of guaranty and/or bond and/or make any type of deposit and/or anticipate payment of the amount of the claim, the relevant Buyer or the relevant Subsidiary shall do so, if this is required by the Seller with sufficient advance notice, always provided that the Seller has previously provided the relevant Buyer or the relevant Subsidiary with the necessary funds.

 

	
  

	
(e)

	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 8.5.2 to the contrary, the Seller shall not have the right to take over conduct of any Third-Party claim if: (a) taking over conduct could invalidate or render voidable any insurance policy under which any Buyer or any Subsidiary is a beneficiary; or (b) any Buyer or any Subsidiary has a continuing commercial relationship with the person bringing the Third-Party claim (as determined by the Buyers’ Representative acting reasonably and in good faith). If the events abovementioned are met, the Buyer may not settle or arrange extrajudicial agreements without the Seller's consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or without (notwithstanding the foregoing) giving the Seller the opportunity to take over the conduct of such Third-Party Claim. Should the Buyer do so, or should the Buyer fail to defend such claim in good faith, the Seller will not be liable for any Damages arising out of such Third-Party claim.

 

	
  

	
(f)

	
If the Seller notifies the Buyers’ Representative that it will not take over conduct of any Third-Party claim or the Seller fails to notify the Buyers’ Representative of its desire to take over conduct within the time period set forth in sub-Clause (b) above, the relevant Buyer shall continue to conduct such Third-Party claim in good faith. In such cases, the relevant Buyer shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, be entitled in its sole and absolute discretion to act in any manner that it deems advisable to defend its interests and that of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and such Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed of material developments. Notwithstanding the above, any settlement or extrajudicial agreement with respect to such Third-Party claim may not cause to the Seller Damages greater than the damages claimed by the Third-Party.  If the Seller is obligated to indemnify a Buyer under this sub-Clause (f) pursuant to its obligations under Clause 8.1, it shall pay the indemnified amount (as determined in accordance with the limitations of liability set out in this Clause 8) within 15 Calendar Days of the indemnification claim by the Buyer in relation to the Third-Party claim becoming a Determined Claim.

 

	
8.5.3

	
Non-Application

 

None of the limitations of liability set out in this Clause 8 shall apply to the indemnities referred to in Clause 9, Leakage or any other claim for breach of this Agreement (other than in respect of a Non-compliance) or a breach of paragraph 7.7 of Schedule VII.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Clause 8.4.1 shall apply to Clause 9.2.1(e) and 9.2.1(a).

 

	
8.6

	
Argentina

 

	
8.6.1

	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller’s liability to, and/or obligation to indemnify, the Buyers in respect of Damages suffered in respect of the Atento Argentina Companies as a result of any breach of the

 

  

26

  

 

Representations and Warranties or Seller’s covenants under this Agreement, shall be subject to the following:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
if the Damages are suffered by an Atento Argentina Company and such company requires cash or liquidity to remedy or rectify such Damages in excess of 30% cash or cash equivalents of Atento Argentina at the time when the Damage is suffered (the “Argentinean Liquidity Threshold”), the Seller shall either settle the Damages claim with cash or make a loan to such company in the amount of the Damages.  Any such loan shall: (i) be on market terms, (ii) pay interest in-kind (rather than cash interest) on an annual basis; and (iii) become due and payable on the date on which a payment is made under the Contingent Value Instruments (if any); and

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
if Clause 8.6.1(a) does not apply because the Damages suffered are a decrease in the value of the Argentina Shares or remedy or rectification of the Damages does not require cash or liquidity above the Argentinean Liquidity Threshold, the maximum amount payable to the holders of the Contingent Value Instrument shall be reduced by an amount equal to the decrease in value of the Argentina Shares.

Labour Litigation

 

	
9.1.1

	
In the event that a Buyer or any Subsidiary suffers any Damages in excess of the Judicial Deposits as a result of or in connection with any Dispute with any current or former employee, consultant, officer or director of Atento Brazil, or with any relevant union or other employee representative body, the basis of which Dispute arose or arises on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Labour Dispute”),  the Seller hereby covenants to indemnify, defend and hold each of the Buyers harmless against all such Damages in excess of the Judicial Deposits.

9.2.5

	
The Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates on the one hand and the Seller and its Affiliates on the other, shall cooperate to recover to the extent permissible by law any of the Brazil Closing Tax or the Mexico Closing Tax to the extent that the amount of such Taxes paid to the applicable Tax Authority was calculated by reference to a purchase price for the Brazil Shares or the Mexico Shares which is higher than the price finally attributed to such shares in the Closing Statements.

 

	
9.2.6

	
Any costs of any actions taken under Clause 9.2.4 shall be shared equally between the Company and Spain Holdco.

at least 5 Business Days before Closing the amount to be withheld from that part of the Closing Purchase Price allocable to the Brazil Shares and the Mexico Shares (respectively) pursuant to applicable law or regulation;

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
within 5 Business Days of final agreement on, or final determination of, the Payment Statement in accordance with Part 1 of Schedule V, the amount to be withheld from that part of any payment required to be made under Clause 5.4.2 allocable to the Brazil Shares and the Mexico Shares (respectively) pursuant to applicable law or regulation; and

in a timely fashion all such assistance as may reasonably be required: (i) by the Buyers or any Subsidiary to make any statement or return or provide any other information to the Chilean Taxation Authority in relation to the sale of the NV Shares under Clause 2.1.4; or (ii) by the Buyers in order for them to meet their obligations properly in relation to Tax due on the sale of the Mexico Shares and the Brazil Shares pursuant to Clause 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.

9.2.9

	
If TOGC Relief is later contested by any relevant Taxation Authority the Seller and Spain Holdco shall take all reasonable steps to defend such contest, which may include appealing the matter to any court or tribunal, but only if in the opinion of a mutually acceptable counsel who is qualified to opine on such matter the outcome of such appeal is more likely than not to be favorable. In the event that such defense is unsuccessful, sub-Clause 9.2.1(b) above shall apply and the Company shall be responsible for any interest on late paid Tax and/or any penalties that may be levied.

 

	
9.2.10

	
In the event that such defense is unsuccessful, the Company shall, pursuant to the Spanish VAT Act and its regulations, amend the VAT invoice and charge the relevant VAT to Spain Holdco, and Spain Holdco shall pay to the Company the amount of VAT (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any interest or penalties or late paid Tax) in cash no later than 20 Business Days. The Company shall collaborate in good faith with Spain Holdco by making available the appropriate documentation to enable Spain Holdco to recover the VAT.

in competition with the business of any Subsidiary or the Atento group of companies as carried on at the date of this Agreement, canvass or solicit the custom of any person, firm or company that has within two years prior to Closing been a regular customer or supplier of any Subsidiary in relation to the business of the Group;

The consideration for the undertakings contained in Clause 10.1 forms part of the Purchase Price.

 

	
10.6

	
The Buyers undertake to the Seller that they will not (and will procure that each Subsidiary does not), either alone or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other person make any derogatory or critical statements or comments in relation to, or otherwise disparage, the Seller or any Affiliate, shareholder, investor, director, officer or employee of the Seller.

Any Tax Return required to be prepared by any of the Buyers or one of the Subsidiaries but for which the Seller may be responsible for the payment of any Taxes thereon pursuant to Clause 9.2.1 shall be provided to the Seller at least thirty (30) days prior to filing and shall be subject to the reasonable comments of the Seller. Any Tax Return prepared by Buyer which includes or is based on the operations, ownership, assets or activities of any of the Subsidiaries for any period for which the Seller is required to indemnify to the Buyer pursuant to 9.2.1(d) shall be prepared in accordance with past Tax accounting and other practices used by the Subsidiary 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 the Buyer with the consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Buyer shall always be free to adopt a different practice (consistent with applicable Tax law and accounting practice) in which case no claim may be made by the Buyer under 9.2.1 in respect of any Tax liability of the relevant Subsidiary which is directly related to such change in practice for the period in question.

Schedule V – Closing Statements

 

 

Part 1: Combined Financial Statements

 

	
1.

	
After Closing the Buyers will cause Atento to prepare a set of financial statements as at the Effective Time for the Subsidiaries and the Atento Assets and Liabilities on a combined basis (that is, having made all necessary consolidation adjustments so as to eliminate any intra-group transactions and balances) (the "Combined Financial Statements"). The Combined Financial Statements will be prepared using the information extracted from the accounting records of the Subsidiaries and in accordance with those specific procedures that would be adopted at a financial year end, including detailed analysis of accruals and prepayments and cut-off procedures.

 

	
2.

	
The Combined Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with:

 

	
  

	
a.

	
the accounting principles, policies, treatments and categorisations as were used in the preparation of the Financial Statements for the period ended on 31 December 2011, as then applied; and then

 

	
  

	
b.

	
by reference to IFRS as at the Effective Time.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that there are any differences between IFRS as at the Effective Time and the accounting policies and principles used to produce the underlying accounting records of the Subsidiaries, adjustments will be made to the information extracted from accounting records of the Subsidiaries in order for such to be in accordance with IFRS as at the Effective Time.

 

If any of the transactions set out in Clause 3.5 and Clause 4.1.7 occur after the Effective Time and on or prior to Closing, the Combined Financial Statements shall be prepared as if such transactions had been completed on or prior to the Effective Time.

 

	
3.

	
Atento will prepare the Combined Financial Statements within 45 Business Days after the Closing Date.

 

	
4.

	
Atento will engage its historic auditors, Ernst & Young (the "Auditors"), to perform an audit of the draft Combined Financial Statement in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and on the basis that the Combined Financial Statements are to be treated as a set of year-end accounts (the “Combined Financial Statements Audit”). Auditors will be required under their engagement to complete the Combined Financial Statements Audit and deliver the audited Combined Financial Statements to Atento within 40 Business Days after the receipt of the Combined Financial Statements.

Payment Statement are submitted to the Seller within 20 Business Days after the receipt of the draft Audited Combined Financial Statements.

a.

b.

	
co-operate with the Buyers with regards to the provision of such information as is reasonably required by any Buyer in connection with its preparation of the draft Closing Statements and the draft Payment Statement and shall make available the services of the employees of the members of the Retained Group in connection with the provision of such information, provided that this does not interfere with the proper operation of the Retained Group after Closing.

 

	
5.

	
In order to enable the Seller to review the draft Closing Statements and the draft Payment Statement, the Buyers shall, on reasonable notice and subject to the execution of appropriate hold harmless letters and confidentiality undertakings:

make available to the Seller during normal office hours such Books and Records of the Subsidiaries in the possession or under the control of the Buyers as the Seller may reasonably require; and

a.

	
the draft Closing Statements are agreed; or

i.

Exhibit 10.1

YUM! BRANDS, INC.
CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated ___________, _____ (“Effective Date”), is made by and between YUM! Brands, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Company”), and _______________ (“Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its shareholders to foster the continued employment of key management personnel; and
WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders; and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company's management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
 1.  Defined Terms.  The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in the last Section hereof.
2.  Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for three years; however, on January 1, 20__ and each January 1 thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended so that it is restored to a full three-year Term unless, not later than September 30 of the preceding year, the Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall expire no earlier than the third anniversary of the date of such Change in Control.

3.  Company's Covenants Summarized.  In order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the Executive's covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees, under the conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the Severance Payments and the other payments and benefits described herein.  Except as provided in Section 9.1 hereof, no Severance Payments shall be payable under this Agreement unless there shall have been (or, under the terms of the second sentence of Section 6.1 hereof, there shall be deemed to have been) a termination of the Executive's employment with the Company following a Change in Control and during the Term.  This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.
4.  The Executive's Covenants.  The Executive agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in Control during the Term, the Executive will remain in the employ of the Company until the earliest of (i) a date which is six (6) months from the date of such Potential Change in Control, (ii) the date of a Change in Control, (iii) the date of termination by the Executive of the Executive's employment for Good Reason or by reason of death or Disability, or (iv) the termination by the Company of the Executive's employment for any reason.
5.  Compensation Other Than Severance Payments.
5.1  Following a Change in Control and during the Term, and during any period that the Executive fails to perform the Executive's full‐time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the Executive's full salary to the Executive at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period, until the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Disability.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5.1, to the extent the salary, compensation and benefits provided for by this Section constitute deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A, the payment of such salary, compensation and benefits shall occur upon Executive's “disability” or “separation from service”, in each case as defined in Section 409A, whichever occurs earlier (but subject to Section 16(A)).  In this case, the rate of payment shall be based on the normal rules for the salary, compensation or benefit in question, with a lump sum catch up for any amounts that would have been paid previously under such rules. 

2

5.2  If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive's full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the Company's compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5.2, to the extent the salary, compensation and benefits provided for by this Section constitute deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A, the payment of such salary, compensation and benefits shall occur upon Executive's “separation from service”, as defined in Section 409A, but subject to Section 16(A).  In this case, the rate of payment shall be based on the normal rules for the salary, compensation or benefit in question, with a lump sum catch up for any amounts that would have been paid previously under such rules.
5.3  If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive's normal post‐termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due.  Such post‐termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.
6.  Severance Payments.
6.1  Subject to Sections 6.2 and 16(A) hereof, if (i) the Executive's employment is terminated following a Change in Control and during the Term, other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 (“Severance Payments”), in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5 hereof.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause after the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control and prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control 

3

ever occurs) and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason after the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control and prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of such Person, or (iii) the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason after the occurrence of a Potential Change in Control and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs).  For purposes of any determination regarding the applicability of the immediately preceding sentence, any position taken by the Executive shall be presumed to be correct unless the Company establishes by clear and convincing evidence that such position is not correct.
(A)  In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the Executive, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to two times the sum of (i) the Executive's base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (ii) the target annual incentive compensation for the Executive in respect of the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurred, or, if higher, the actual incentive compensation the Executive earned for the fiscal year preceding the year in which the Executive's employment is terminated.
(B)  Notwithstanding any provision of any annual or long-term incentive plan to the contrary, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (i) any unpaid incentive compensation which has been allocated or awarded to the Executive for a completed fiscal year or other measuring period preceding the Date of Termination under any such plan and which has not yet been paid or deferred pursuant to a deferral plan maintained by the Company, and (ii) and, notwithstanding any provision of the Company's annual incentive plan to the contrary, a cash lump sum amount equal to a pro rata portion to the Date of Termination of the aggregate value of the annual incentive compensation award to the Executive for the then uncompleted fiscal year under such plan, assuming achievement of performance goals at the target level, or, if higher, assuming continued achievement of such performance goals at the level achieved through the Date of Termination.

4

(C)  The Company shall provide the Executive with outplacement services suitable to the Executive's position for a period of one year or, if earlier, until the first acceptance by the Executive of an offer of employment.
6.2  (A)  Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement or any other plan or agreement to the contrary and regardless of whether or not the Executive becomes entitled to Severance Payments, if any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the Executive's employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any Person whose actions result in a Change in Control or any Person affiliated with the Company or such Person (all such payments and benefits being hereinafter called the “Total Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), then if any of the Total Payments would be subject to the Excise Tax, the Total Payments shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the aggregate present value of such Total Payments and benefits received by the Executive from the Company and its affiliated entities shall be $1.00 less than three times the Executive's Base Amount (the “Safe Harbor Amount”) and so that no portion of such Total Payments received by the Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax, or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax result for the Executive (taking into account any applicable Excise Tax and any applicable income tax).  If reduced Total Payments are made to the Executive and through error or otherwise those Total Payments exceed the Safe Harbor Amount, the Executive shall immediately repay such excess to the Company or its applicable affiliated entity upon notification that an overpayment has been made.  If a reduction is made in accordance with the foregoing, such reduction shall be made in the following order:
(i)First, by reducing the amounts of parachute payments that would not constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent necessary to decrease the Total Payments that would otherwise constitute parachute payments in excess of the Safe Harbor Amount, as agreed by the Company and the Executive;
(ii)Next, if after the reduction to zero of the amounts described in subparagraph (i), the remaining scheduled parachute payments are greater than the Safe Harbor Amount, then by reducing the cash amounts of Total Payments that constitute deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) subject to Section 409A, with the reductions to be applied first to the Total Payments scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then 

5

applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Total Payments that would otherwise constitute parachute payments in excess of the Safe Harbor Amount; and
(iii)Next, if after the reduction to zero of the amounts described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii), the remaining scheduled parachute payments are greater than the Safe Harbor Amount, then, by reducing the non-cash amounts of any of the remaining scheduled Total Payments that constitute deferred compensation (within the meaning of subject to 409A), with the reductions to be applied first to the Total Payments scheduled for the latest distribution date, and then applied to distributions scheduled for progressively earlier distribution dates, to the extent necessary to decrease the Total Payments that would otherwise constitute parachute payments in excess of the Safe Harbor Amount. 
(B)  For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as parachute payments, unless in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company's independent auditor (“Auditor”), such other payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, (ii) all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless otherwise determined in the opinion of Tax Counsel, and (iii) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of section 280G of the Code and applicable regulations.  Prior to the payment date set forth in Section 6.3 hereof, the Company shall provide the Executive with its calculation of the amounts referred to in this Section 6.2(B) and such supporting materials as are reasonably necessary for the Executive to evaluate the Company's calculations.  If the Executive disputes the Company's calculations (in whole or in part), the reasonable opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to the matter in dispute shall prevail.
6.3  (A) In General.  The payments provided in subsections (A), (C) and (D) of Section 6.1 hereof shall be made not later than the tenth day following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments, and the limitation on such payments set forth in Section 6.2 hereof, cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Executive or, in the case of payments under Section 6.2 hereof, in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder (or on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to 

6

make such payments when due) at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Date of Termination.  In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall be repaid to the Company promptly thereafter (together with interest at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).  At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations including, without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from Tax Counsel, the Auditor or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which are in writing shall be attached to the statement).  The Company shall bear the entire cost of any opinions, advice or similar expenses associated with Sections 6.2 or 6.3 hereof.  
(B) Timing of Payments/Compliance with Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 16 if applicable, (i) each payment required to be made by the Company under Section 6.3(A) to the Executive hereunder and each repayment of a payment required to be made by the Executive to the Company hereunder shall be paid as provided in paragraph (A) of subsection 6.3 but in no event later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Executive (or the Company on the Executive's behalf) remits the corresponding taxes to the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority.
6.4  The Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive's employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder (the “Legal Expenses”) that are incurred during the period (i) beginning on the commencement date of this Agreement under Section 2 and, (ii) ending on the date that is five years after the Date of Termination of the Executive.  The amount of Legal Expenses that are eligible for reimbursement during an Executive's taxable year may not affect the Legal Expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.   Such payments shall be made within ten (10) business days after delivery of the Executive's written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require; provided, however, that in no event will the reimbursement of any Legal Expenses be made after the last day of the Executive's taxable year following the Executive's 

7

taxable year in which the Legal Expense in question was incurred.  The right to reimbursement of Legal Expenses provided hereunder is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
7.  Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute.
7.1  Notice of Termination.  After a Change in Control and during the Term (or under the circumstances described in the second sentence of section 6.1 hereof), any purported termination of the Executive's employment (other than by reason of death)  shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10 hereof.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated.  Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is required to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three‐quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
7.2  Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination,” with respect to any purported termination of the Executive's employment after a Change in Control and during the Term, shall mean (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full‐time performance of the Executive's duties during such thirty (30) day period), and (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Company, shall not be less than thirty (30) days (except in the case of a termination for Cause) and, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
7.3  Dispute Concerning Termination.  If the Executive believes the Company is not providing Executive with a benefit to which Executive is entitled under the terms of this Agreement, the Executive may notify the Company, within forty-five (45) days after the Date of Termination, that a dispute exists concerning the termination (such notification being a “Dispute Notification”). 

8

7.4  Compensation During Dispute.  If a purported termination occurs following a Change in Control and during the Term and the Executive provides the Company with a Dispute Notification,  the Company shall act within fifteen (15) days to restore fully the disputed benefits (so that all benefits are provided as of such date as would have been provided had there been no delay in providing such benefits) and to continue to provide such benefits as contemplated by this Agreement thereafter, but subject to termination and recapture from the Executive of these disputed benefits in accordance with the terms of a mutual written agreement of the parties, a binding arbitration award, or a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected).
8.  No Mitigation.  The Company agrees that, if the Executive's employment with the Company terminates during the Term, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof or Section 7.4 hereof.  Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.
9.  Successors; Binding Agreement.
9.1  In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  
9.2  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive's estate.
10.  Notices.  For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United 

9

States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Executive, to the address inserted below the Executive's signature on the final page hereof and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt:

Attention: General Counsel

11.  Miscellaneous.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board.  No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  This Agreement supersedes any other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by either party; provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede any agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Executive's employment with the Company only in the event that the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated on or following a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason.   The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.  All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections.  Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed.  The obligations of the Company and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including, without limitation, those under Sections 6 and 7 hereof) shall survive such expiration.
12.  Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
13.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

10

14.  Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration.   14.1  All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing.  The Board shall have the exclusive discretionary authority to construe and to interpret the Agreement, to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits and to determine the amount of such benefits, and its decisions on such matters are final and conclusive.  As a result, payments under this Agreement will be paid only if the Board decides in its discretion that the Executive claiming such benefits is entitled to them.  This discretionary authority is intended to be absolute, and in any case where the extent of this discretion is in question, the Board is to be accorded the maximum discretion possible.  Any exercise of this discretionary authority shall be reviewed under the arbitrary and capricious standard (i.e., the abuse of discretion standard).  Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing; shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial, the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon, and any additional information needed for the Executive to perfect the claim; and shall be delivered to the Executive within 90 days after the date the initial claim was made by the Executive (provided, however, that the Board may extend this 90-day period by an additional 90 days if needed to adjudicate the claim, with such extension communicated to the Executive prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day period).  The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after notification by the Board that the Executive's claim has been denied (an “appeal”).  An appeal shall be made on such forms and in such manner as the Board shall from time to time specify.  Any denial by the Board of an appeal under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing; shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon; shall take into account all information and documentation furnished by the Executive, even if such information or documentation was not provided at the time of the initial claim; and shall be delivered to the Executive within 60 days after the date the Executive appealed (provided, however, that the Board may extend this 60-day period by an additional 60 days if needed to adjudicate the claim, with such extension communicated to the Executive prior to the expiration of the initial 60-day period).
14.2  Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Louisville, Kentucky in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that the evidentiary standards set forth in this Agreement shall apply.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.   Notwithstanding any provision 

11

of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Executive's right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

(VI)  the failure by the Company to continue to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by the Executive under any of the Company's pension, savings, life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Change in Control (except for across the board changes similarly affecting all executives of the Company and all executives of any Person in control of the Company), the taking of any other action by the Company which would directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such

The Executive's right to terminate the Executive's employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

For purposes of any determination regarding the existence of Good Reason, any claim by the Executive that Good Reason exists shall be presumed to be correct unless the Company establishes to the Board by clear and convincing evidence that Good Reason does not exist.
(P)  “Notice of Termination” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7.1 hereof.

16

16.  Compliance with Section 409A.  (A)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent the Company determines in good faith that (a) one or more payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive pursuant to the Agreement  would constitute deferred compensation subject to the rules of Section 409A, and (b) that the Executive is a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then only to the extent required to avoid the Executive's incurrence of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, such payment or benefit will be delayed until the date that is six (6) months after the Executive's “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  Any amounts that are postponed pursuant to this Section 16 will be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period.  If the Executive dies during the six-month period, prior to the payment 

17

of the delayed amount, the amounts delayed on account of this Section 16 will be paid pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof.  In addition, to the extent the Company determines in good faith that one or more payments or benefits received or to be received by an Executive upon a termination of employment pursuant to the Agreement would constitute deferred compensation subject to the rules of Section 409A then in determining the time of payment of such deferred compensation a termination of employment shall be deemed to occur only if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A, as determined by the Company in accordance with such rules and policies adopted by it from time to time.  Further, in this case, the Date of Termination shall be the date of such separation from service.
(B)  If any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement could result in adverse tax treatment of the Executive under Section 409A, as determined by the Company in good faith, then (at any time prior to a Change in Control or a Potential Change in Control) the Company may modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Executive, and provide notice to the Executive of the modification.  Such modification shall become binding in the event the Executive accepts the modification in writing or does not reject it in writing within 60 days of the notice from the Company.
(C)  It is the intention of the Company that the Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A.  Further, in the event that the Agreement shall be deemed not to comply with Section 409A, then neither the Company, the Board of Directors, nor its or their designees or agents shall be liable to the Executive or other person for actions, decisions or determinations made in good faith.
