thereby by Buyer have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of Buyer and by
all other necessary corporate action on the part of Buyer. This Agreement has been duly executed

rights generally. Except for any Approvals required under the Applicable Competition Law, the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Assignment by Buyer, will not (i)

the charter documents or by-laws of Buyer or any material contract to which Buyer is a party, (ii)
result in the imposition of any Lien against any material assets or properties of Buyer, (iii)
violate any material Law, or (iv) require any material Approvals to be obtained.

(whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that neither Buyer nor
Sellers nor their respective Affiliates shall be required to make any material concessions in
connection therewith. Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly secure
clearance under the Applicable Competition Law with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, including agreeing to such non-material amendments of this Agreement, in each case as may

on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, except for documents filed or communications or information which reveal Sellers’ or
Buyer’s negotiating objectives or strategies or purchase price expectations.

          (c) Buyer and Sellers shall notify and keep each other advised as to (i) any material
communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby
and (ii) any Action pending and known to such Party or, to its knowledge, threatened, which

Assignment (the “Third Party Consents”); provided, however, that Sellers shall have no
obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with the
receipt of any consent, permit, approval, authorization or exemption. If any of such Third Party

reasonable efforts thereafter to obtain such Third Party Consents for a period of 120 days
following the Closing.

          (e) All documents required to be filed by any of the Parties or any of their respective

a period of fifteen (15) years; provided, however, that PRTC shall have no obligation to (i) give
any guaranty, make any settlement, or give any consideration of any kind or (ii) ascribe any value
to the Publication Rights other than the value that PRTC has ascribed thereto for purposes of
allocating the consideration to be received by PRTC in respect of the Publication Rights, and
provided further, that Sellers and the Company shall not be responsible or in any way liable for
any adverse ruling from or failure to obtain a ruling from the Puerto Rico Treasury Department.

Affiliates and representatives to, not disclose to any non-Affiliate (other than any representative
owing a confidentiality obligation to Sellers) confidential information concerning the Business or
the Company or any Company Subsidiary. It is understood that Sellers shall have no liability
hereunder with respect to the use of any information that (i) is in or, through no fault of Sellers
or any of their Affiliates or representatives, comes into the public domain, (ii) Sellers or any of
their Affiliates are required to disclose by any Taxing Authority or by any other Governmental
Entity or stock exchange or (iii) is rightfully obtained by Sellers and any of their Affiliates
from a third party not known by Sellers to be under any confidentiality obligation to the Company
or any Company Subsidiary.

          (b) In the event that Sellers or their Affiliates or representatives are required by any
Governmental Entity to disclose any such information, Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer in
writing so that Buyer may, to the extent practicable, seek a protective order and/or other motion
to prevent or limit the production or disclosure of such information. If such motion is not sought
or is denied, then the Person required to disclose such information may disclose only such portion
of such information which, based on advice of such Person’s legal counsel, is required by

 

 

applicable Law to be disclosed (provided that the Person required to disclose such information
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the remainder of
such information). Sellers shall continue to be bound by their obligations pursuant to this
Section 4.3 for any information that is not required to be disclosed, or that has been
afforded protective treatment, pursuant to such motion.

          4.4 No Negotiations. None of Sellers, the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall,
and each shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees and
agents not to, initiate, solicit, facilitate or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or
the making of any proposal with respect to, or engage in any negotiations or discussions with, any
Person relating to, or provide to any Person confidential or non-public information in connection
with, any acquisition, recapitalization, business combination or purchase of all or a material
portion of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or the Business or the Publication Rights, or
cooperate or participate with any Person in connection with any of the foregoing activities.

faith with VIS-PR and Buyer, and Buyer will negotiate in good faith, a billing and collection or
similar arrangement between PRTC and VIS-PR relating to the Infovoz 511 service (the “Infovoz
Billing and Collection Agreement”) that, among other things, provides that (i) VIS-PR has the right
to use (subject to the right of Governmental Entities to use the 511 number under Law) the 511
number and related switching technology consistent with past practice and the right to price the
Infovoz 511 service at its discretion (provided that VIS-PR gives customers no less than 60 days
prior notice of any pricing changes), (ii) PRTC shall not initiate any Action to prohibit VIS-PR
from using the 511 number in connection with the Infovoz 511 service and shall (a) notify VIS-PR
promptly upon being notified in writing by any Governmental Entity that a Governmental Entity
intends to preclude VIS-PR from using the 511 number and (b) cooperate with VIS-PR in a
commercially reasonable manner in changing the 511 number to another phone number that permits a
specific charge per call received and with respect to which PRTC can provide billing and collection
services on substantially the same terms as set forth in the Infovoz Billing and Collection
Agreement.

          4.6 Interconnection. Prior to the Closing, PRTC will negotiate in good faith with

or any other legal process, Buyer will cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and
their representatives and counsel to, subject to the procedures set forth in ARTICLE X,
cooperate with Sellers and their representatives and counsel for purposes of permitting Sellers to

          (b) Such cooperation under Section 5.1(a) shall include, subject to the
confidentiality obligations in Section 4.3, (i) upon prior notice to Buyer reasonable

Affiliates has previously requested in writing that such books and records be preserved, Buyer
shall either preserve such books and records for such reasonable period as may be requested by
Sellers or any of their Affiliates or transfer such books and records to Sellers or their

ANY SPECIFIC PURPOSE AS TO ANY OF THE ASSETS OR PROPERTIES OF THE BUSINESS;
	 
	 	(B)	 	THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS BY BUYER AFTER THE CLOSING IN ANY
MANNER OTHER THAN AS USED AND OPERATED PRIOR TO THE CLOSING; OR

BUSINESS OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED BY ANY PERSON.

          (b) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that except for the representations and warranties contained
in Section 3.1 of this Agreement, neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates, officers,

Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or any other Person,
notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Buyer or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents or representatives or any other Person of any documentation or other information by or

this Agreement.

          5.3 Insurance Matters. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) all or substantially
all of the policies and insurance coverage maintained on behalf of the Business are part of the
corporate insurance program maintained by Sellers or their Affiliates (the “Seller Corporate

respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and will not be available to any Company or
Company Subsidiary (except for matters arising from activities that occur or circumstances that
exist on or prior to the Closing Date). It is understood that Sellers shall be free at their
discretion at any time to cancel prospectively or not renew any of the Seller Corporate Policies as
to coverage relating to events subsequent to the Closing Date (other than the making of claims with
respect to activities that occurred or circumstances that existed on or prior to the Closing Date)
so long as such cancellation has no effect on coverage associated with the Business on or prior to
the Closing Date.

          5.4 Non-Solicitation.

          (a) Sellers agree that, from and after the Closing Date until the second anniversary of the

capacity, either separately, jointly or in association with others, directly or indirectly, employ,

Subsidiary (or who was so employed or retained at any time within six months prior to the date
Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates employs, seeks to employ, or retains the
services of such person); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not constitute a
violation of this Section 5.4(a) for Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to

periodical or on the radio, internet or other similar media and to hire any such person in
connection therewith.

          (b) Buyer agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, in any capacity, either

or retained at any time within six months prior to the date Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries
employs, seeks to employ, or retains the services of such person);

 

 

provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not constitute a violation of this
Section 5.4(b) for Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to make a general solicitation for
employment or other services contained in a newspaper or other periodical or on the radio, internet

any failure of the closing to occur as a result of any action or inaction by VIHI, GTEPR or any

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS

          9.1 Termination of Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing as follows and in no other manner:

          (a) Mutual Consent. By mutual consent in writing of Buyer and Sellers.

          (b) Closing Not Consummated by Earlier Date. By Sellers or Buyer at any time after
March 31, 2006, if the Closing shall not have occurred by such date, unless extended by mutual
consent in writing of Buyer and Sellers.

          (c) Conditions to Buyer’s Performance Not Met. By Buyer upon written notice to
Sellers if any event occurs or condition exists which would render impossible the satisfaction of
one or more conditions to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the Closing contemplated by this
Agreement as set forth in ARTICLE VII.

          (d) Conditions to Sellers’ Performance Not Met. By Sellers upon written notice to
Buyer if any event occurs or condition exists which would render impossible the satisfaction of one
or more conditions to the obligation of Sellers to consummate the Closing contemplated by this
Agreement as set forth in ARTICLE VII.

          9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated
pursuant to Section 9.1, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall
terminate without further liability of any Party to another; provided that the obligations
of the Parties contained in this Section 9.2 and Sections 11.14 and 11.16
and all provisions of this Agreement necessary for the interpretation and enforcement thereof shall
survive any such termination. A termination under Section 9.1 shall not relieve any Party
of any liability for an intentional misrepresentation or a willful breach of any covenant or
agreement under this Agreement or be deemed to constitute a waiver of any available remedy
(including specific performance if available) for any such breach. If this Agreement is terminated
for any reason, no representative of Buyer or its Affiliates will directly or indirectly attempt to
influence any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to seek employment with Buyer or
any of its Affiliates for a period of one year after this Agreement is terminated.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL

          10.1 Obligations of Sellers. Effective as of the Closing, Sellers shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold harmless each of Buyer, and its directors, officers, employees,
Affiliates, agents and assigns (each, a “Buyer Indemnitee,” and collectively, the “Buyer
Indemnitees”; provided that for purposes of the foregoing, the Buyer Indemnitees shall only be
indemnified with respect to 60% of any Indemnifiable Loss of any Company Subsidiary) from and
against any and all Indemnifiable Losses based upon or arising from:

 

 

          (a) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Sellers on the Closing
Date in or pursuant to this Agreement, including any certificates delivered hereunder on the
Closing Date; and

          (b) any material breach or nonperformance of any of the covenants of Sellers contained in this
Agreement.

          10.2 Obligations of Buyer and the Companies. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer, the
Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless
Sellers and each of their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns from and
against any and all Indemnifiable Losses based upon or arising from:

          (a) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer on the Closing
Date in or pursuant to this Agreement, including any certificates delivered hereunder on the
Closing Date;

          (b) any material breach or nonperformance of any of the covenants of Buyer contained in this
Agreement;

          (c) any failure of the Company to perform the Company’s obligations pursuant to any of the
Guaranteed Contracts, except to the extent that Sellers have any indemnification obligations to any
Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10.1 relating to such failure; and

          (d) the conduct and operation of the Business on or after the Closing, except to the extent
that Sellers have any indemnification obligations to any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section
10.1 relating to the event or circumstance giving rise to such claim for indemnification.

The foregoing notwithstanding, any Affiliate that is entitled to indemnification pursuant to
Section 11.2 of the Verizon Share Purchase Agreement shall not be entitled to indemnification under
this Section 10.2 to the extent it has already been indemnified or sought indemnification
pursuant to such Section 11.2 of the Verizon Share Purchase Agreement.

          10.3 Procedure. The following procedures shall apply with respect to Indemnifiable
Claims:

          (a) Notice of Third Party Claims. Any Party seeking indemnification of any
Indemnifiable Loss or potential Indemnifiable Loss arising from a claim asserted by a third party
shall give written notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought. Written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of the existence of a third-party claim shall be given by the Indemnified Party
promptly after its receipt of an assertion of liability from the third party, and in any event
within ten days of such assertion; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified
Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation
under this ARTICLE X, except to the extent such delay prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

 

 

          (b) Defense. In the case of a third party claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its
option, control the defense of an Indemnifiable Claim at such Indemnifying Party’s expense with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel of its choice at its own expense and
participate in the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying
Party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel if (1) the employment of such
separate counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party; or (2) the
named parties to the proceeding in which such claim, demand, action or cause of action has been
asserted include both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party and, in the reasonable
judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Party, there exists one or more good faith defenses that
may be available to the Indemnified Party that are in conflict with those available to the
Indemnifying Party or that the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party have actual material
conflicting interests with respect to such claim, demand, action or course of action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and
disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one
proceeding or any similar or related proceedings arising from the same general allegations or
circumstances. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense or the Indemnifying Party
notifies the Indemnified Party within thirty days that it will not assume such defense, the
Indemnified Party may control the defense of such claim and may settle the claim on behalf of and
for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, who shall be bound by the result. In all
cases, the party without the right to control the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim may
participate in the defense at its own expense, subject to the second sentence of this paragraph.

          (c) Tax Adjustments. The Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the
amount of any actual reduction in Taxes that would be payable but for a Loss that caused
indemnification payments to be made hereunder within 30 days of filing any Tax Return reflecting
such reduction (except with respect to depreciation or amortization deductions, which shall be
payable within thirty (30) days of filing the Indemnified Party’s Tax Return for the Tax year in
which the Loss arises). In calculating the foregoing payment, the Indemnified Party shall assume
that items of deduction attributable to the Loss for which payment is to be made hereunder shall
first be used to determine the Tax liability of the Indemnified Party for the Tax year in which
such Loss arises and to the extent that the Tax benefits consist of depreciation or amortization
deductions, the Tax benefit amount will be based on the net present value of such deductions using
a discount rate equal to the mid-term applicable U.S. federal rate in effect on the day on which
the indemnification payments are made..

          (d) Insurance. Any amounts payable by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of an
Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by all insurance recoveries received
by the Indemnified Party as a result of the claim, loss or damage involved, net of all actual costs
incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such proceeds. The Indemnified Party shall seek
full recovery under all insurance policies covering any such claim, loss or damage to the same
extent as the Indemnified Party would if such claim, loss or damage were not subject to
indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any
Indemnified Party with respect to any matter for which any such Person has been indemnified
hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (up to but not exceeding the
amount such Person received for such claim, loss or damage hereunder) shall

 

 

be made promptly to the Person or Persons that provided such indemnity payments to such
Indemnified Party.

          (e) Settlement Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.3 to
the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written
consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Indemnifiable Claim or permit a default or
consent to entry of any judgment, unless such settlement or compromise (i) includes a complete
release of the Indemnified Party with respect to liability related to such Indemnifiable Claim,
(ii) does not lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the
Indemnified Party; and (iii) does not admit the liability or fault of the Indemnified Party (the
“Settlement Requirements”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a settlement offer solely
for money damages (and otherwise satisfying the Settlement Requirements) is made by the applicable
third party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the
Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and pay the amount called for by
such offer without reservation of any rights or defenses against the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnified Party may continue to contest such claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying
Party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnifiable Claim that the
Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the
amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept plus the Indemnifiable
Losses of the Indemnified Party relating to such Indemnifiable Claim through the date of its
rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Indemnifiable Losses of the Indemnified
Party with respect to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies
of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with
respect to such claim.

          10.4 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to
this Agreement shall expire on the date of the first anniversary of the Closing, except that the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1(a)(2) and Section 3.1(a)(3)
shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely. This Article X shall survive the Closing and
shall remain in effect (a) with respect to Sections 10.1(a) and 10.2(a), so long as
the relevant representations and warranties survive, (b) with respect to Sections 10.1(b)
and 10.2(b) to the extent those Sections relate to the covenants requiring performance
prior to the Closing (“Pre-Closing Covenants”), for one year after the Closing, (c) with respect to
Sections 10.1(b) and 10.2(b) to the extent those Sections relate to covenants
requiring performance after the Closing, so long as the applicable covenant survives and (d) with
respect to Section 10.2(c) and Section 10.2(d), indefinitely. Any matter as to
which a non-speculative claim has been asserted by written notice setting forth in reasonable
detail the nature of such claim to the other Party that is pending, unresolved and being diligently
pursued at the end of any applicable limitation period shall continue to be covered by this
ARTICLE X notwithstanding any applicable limitation period (which the Parties hereby waive)
until such matter is finally terminated, not being diligently pursued or otherwise resolved by the
Parties under this Agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
order and any amounts payable hereunder are finally determined and paid.

 

 

          10.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

          (a) Sellers shall not be required to indemnify any Person under Section 10.1(a) 
unless the aggregate amount for all Indemnifiable Losses exceeds 2% of the Shares Purchase Price,
and in such event, Sellers shall be responsible for only the amount in excess of 2% of the Shares
Purchase Price. In no event shall the total indemnification to be paid by Sellers under this
ARTICLE X exceed 10% of the Shares Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
limitations on indemnification specified in this Section 10.5(a) shall not apply to losses
that result from any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections
3.1(a)(2) (Ownership of Shares), 3.1(a)(3) (Ownership of Publication Rights) and
3.1(e) (No Brokers or Finders). For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnity obligation of
Sellers under Section 10.1(b) and ARTICLE VI shall not be subject to the limitations of
this Section 10.5(a).

          (b) Any Indemnifiable Claim with respect to any breach or nonperformance by either Party of a
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be limited to the amount of actual
Indemnifiable Losses sustained by the Indemnified Party by reason of such breach or nonperformance,
net of any insurance proceeds as determined pursuant to Section 10.3(d) and net of any Tax
benefits as determined pursuant to Section 10.3(c).

          (c) If an inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Sellers or a breach
of any covenants of Sellers gives rise to an adjustment in the Purchase Price that fully and
completely accounts for such inaccuracy or breach, then such inaccuracy or breach shall not give
rise to an indemnification obligation under Section 10.1.

          10.6 Treatment of Payments. All payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE X
shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price or as capital contributions unless otherwise
required by Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not be
indemnified or reimbursed for any tax consequences arising from the receipt or accrual of an
indemnity payment hereunder, including any such consequences arising from adjustments to the basis
of any asset resulting from an adjustment to the Purchase Price or any additional Taxes resulting
from any such basis adjustment.

          10.7 Remedies Exclusive. Except as otherwise provided in ARTICLE VI and
except for claims for fraud, the remedies provided for in this ARTICLE X shall be exclusive
and shall preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and
all other remedies against the Indemnifying Party for claims based on this Agreement. Each Party
hereby waives any provision of Law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement
contained in this Section 10.7.

          10.8 Mitigation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to
resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the
other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve
any such claim or liability. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any
claims or liabilities that may provide a basis for an Indemnifiable Claim such that each Party
shall respond to any claims or liabilities in the same manner it would respond to such claims or
liabilities in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

Schedule to this Agreement in such a way as to make its relevance or applicability to information
called for by another Disclosure Schedule or other Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement

          11.4 Further Assurances. Each of Buyer and Sellers will use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause all conditions to its and the other Party’s obligations hereunder to be timely

any Governmental Entity in connection with such post-Closing Approvals.

          11.5 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

          (a) This Agreement and the legal relations between the Parties shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to Contracts made and
performed in such State and without regard to conflicts of law doctrines. Each of the Parties
hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any Federal court located in
the State of New York or any New York state court in connection with any dispute that arises out of
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will
not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from
any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any
other agreement contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in
any court other than a Federal court sitting in the State of New York or a New York state court.

          (b) Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it
may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of,
under or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Party (i)
certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly
or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the
foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to
enter into this agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this
Section 11.5(b).

          11.6 Headings. The descriptive headings of the Articles, Sections and subsections of
this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

          11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto or any other agreement (or
document) delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different
Parties in separate counterparts. All of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
agreement (or other document) and shall become effective (unless otherwise

 

 

provided therein) when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered
to the other Party.

          11.8 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer
upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation of any
third person to any Party to this Agreement.

          11.9 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise or delay in exercising
any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
preclude any further or other exercise of such or any other right.

          11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this Agreement, to
the extent permitted by Law, shall remain in full force and effect provided that the
essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for both Parties remain valid, binding and
enforceable and provided that the economic and legal substance of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. In
event of any such determination, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and purposes hereof. To the
extent permitted by Law, the Parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of Law that
renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

          11.11 No Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement, no Party (or its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable to the other Party (or its
Affiliates) for any consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, including loss of future
revenue or income (other than future revenue or income from the Publication Rights), or loss of
business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach or nonperformance or
alleged nonperformance of this Agreement except to the extent such damages are payable to or have
been recovered by a third person and are the subject of a Third Party Claim for which
indemnification is available under the express terms of ARTICLE X.

          11.12 Knowledge Convention. Whenever any statement herein or in any Schedule,
Exhibit, certificate or other document delivered to any party pursuant to this Agreement is made
“to [its] knowledge” or words of similar intent or effect of any Party or its representative, the
Person making such statement shall be accountable only for those facts, circumstances or events,
which as of the date the representation is given, are actually known to the Person making such
statement, which with respect to Seller, means the persons identified on Schedule 11.12
hereto, and with respect to Buyer, means the knowledge of its executive officers.

are assignable by Buyer except that Buyer may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in
whole or in part, to (i) any Affiliate of Buyer; (ii) a third party in connection with the sale of
all or substantially all of the Business by Buyer after the Closing, provided, that such Affiliate
or third party agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
(iii) its lenders for collateral security purposes. Buyer shall remain liable to Sellers for the
payment of the consideration set forth herein and other obligations of Buyer hereunder
notwithstanding a permitted assignment. Any Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement only
to any Affiliate of such Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any incremental Taxes
attributable to any assignment by a Party otherwise borne by the non-assigning Party under this
Agreement shall become the responsibility of the assigning Party (including any such additional
Taxes payable on such additional amounts), which shall hold the non-assigning Party harmless from
such Taxes and additional amounts.

          11.18 Representation By Counsel; Interpretation. The Parties each acknowledge that
each Party has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require
interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in any portions of this Agreement against the Party that
drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. If any provision of this Agreement is, in
the judgment of the trier of fact, ambiguous or unclear, that provision shall be interpreted in a
reasonable manner to effect the intent of the Parties.

          11.19 Reference of Disputes to Senior Officers of PRTC and Buyer. Any dispute between
Sellers and Buyer arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any

 

 

alleged breach hereof may, if agreed to by Sellers and Buyer, be submitted for discussion and
possible resolution by senior officers of PRTC and Buyer, as designated by their respective chief
executive officers, for a period of thirty days (or such longer period as the Parties may in
particular cases so decide) before initiating any action or proceeding.

          11.20 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not
be construed to, confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder.

          11.21 Time. Time is of the essence for this Agreement and each of its provisions.

          11.22 Language. Although the Parties may translate this Agreement into different
languages, the governing version shall be the English language version.

Parent Joinder

     Caribe Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), by
executing this Joinder Agreement (the “Joinder”), hereby joins the foregoing Share and Publication
Rights Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) solely for the purpose of guaranteeing the performance
by Buyer of its obligations under the Agreement, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing
Date, with the same force and effect as if Parent were directly bound thereby. In furtherance
thereof, Parent represents and warrants to Sellers as of the date hereof as follows: (i) Parent is
a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
its jurisdiction of incorporation; (ii) Parent has all necessary limited liability company power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Joinder; (iii) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Joinder by Parent have been duly and validly authorized
by all necessary action on the part of Parent; and (iv) this Joinder has been duly executed and
delivered by Parent and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable
against Parent in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally or by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity). Parent may assign any of its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to (i)
any Affiliate of Parent, or (ii) a third party in connection with the sale of all or substantially
all of the Business by Buyer after the Closing, provided that such Affiliate or third party
agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Joinder. Parent shall remain
liable for the obligations of Parent hereunder notwithstanding a permitted assignment.

     Capitalized terms used in this Joinder without definition have the meanings given to them in
the Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Joinder as of the date set forth below.
