In the event (a) the Parent and/or SC Holders Transfer all of the UP Securities held by the Parent (directly through a Transfer by the Parent of all of its UP Securities and/or indirectly through a Transfer by SC Holders of all of their Parent Shares) to a Third Party (other than any UP Securities or Parent Shares Transferred to Hazels as a form of payment of the Earn-Out Payment in compliance with Section 2.02) and (b) all other Southern Cross Investments (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include UP Shares held by the Company at a time when MDZ owns Class B Shares) have been sold by, or repaid or otherwise discharged in favor of, as applicable, the Parent and/or SC Holders (the date of such occurrence, the “Realization Date”), the Parent shall pay, or shall cause an Affiliate of the Company to pay, to Hazels, within 15 days following the Realization Date, a payment (the “Earn-Out Payment”) in an amount, if any, as calculated based upon the IRR of Southern Cross on the Realization Date and using the procedures set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Earn-Out Payment Calculation Procedures”). On or before the date of the Earn-Out Payment, the Parent shall prepare and deliver to Hazels a written statement setting forth a determination of the IRR of Southern Cross on the Realization Date and the calculation of the resulting Earn-Out Payment in accordance with the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Procedures. Within ten days following the end of each calendar year (or, in the event the MDZ Warrants have been exercised, the end of each six-month period ending June 30 and December 31 of each year), (i) the Parent shall prepare and deliver to Hazels a written statement setting forth its determination of the theoretical IRR of Southern Cross as of the end of such calendar year or six-month period, as applicable (based upon the daily weighted average price per share for the 90-day period ending on the last day of such calendar year or six-month period, as applicable), and its calculation of what the resulting Earn-Out Payment would be, in accordance with the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Procedures, if the Realization Date were on the last day of such calendar year or six-month period, as applicable, and (ii) the Parent shall either, during the following calendar year or six-month period, as applicable, (x) set aside cash in an amount, or (y) not permit the creation or incurrence of any Liens on UP Shares in an amount, as applicable, sufficient to pay an Earn-Out Payment in an amount as calculated in subclause (i).

Section 2.02 Form of Payment. The Parent may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay the Earn-Out Payment to Hazels in the form of (a) cash, (b) shares of capital stock of public companies that are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Global Selected Market, London Stock Exchange or Toronto Stock Exchange (whose average daily trading volume for the six months prior to the Realization Date is at least 7.5% of the amount of securities that would be given to Hazels as part of the Earn-Out Payment) received by the Parent and the Company as consideration for the Transfer of UP Securities to a Third Party pursuant to Section 2.01 (provided, that if the consideration received by the Parent and the Company is a mixture of such shares and other consideration, then the payment to Hazels pursuant to this section cannot include a higher proportion of such shares), in which case the securities received in such Transfer will be deemed to be Southern Cross Net Proceeds, net of amounts referred to in subsections (B)(i) and (ii) of the definition of Southern Cross Net Proceeds, to the extent applicable, for the purpose of calculating the IRR of Southern Cross on the Realization Date, (c) UP Shares, (d) Parent Shares (provided, that the Earn-Out Payment may only be made in the form of Parent Shares in the event that Hazels receives all issued and outstanding Parent Shares pursuant to such payment, and Parent has no liabilities and owns no assets other than UP Shares at the time of such payment), or (e) a combination of clauses (a) through (d) above; provided, that any portion of the Earn-Out Payment (I) paid in UP Shares will be valued at the per UP Share price paid by the Third Party in the Transfer by the Parent and the Company of UP Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, (II) paid in Shares of the Parent will be valued based upon the underlying value of the UP Shares and any other property held by the Parent (net of any liabilities of the Parent) prior to the Transfer by the Parent of UP Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, valued at the per UP Share price paid by the Third Party in such Transfer, or (III) paid in other equity interests (pursuant to clause (b) above) will use the then-market value of such other equity interests (based upon the daily weighted average price per share for the 30-day period ending on the Realization Date or any other shorter period that may have been agreed with the third party purchaser in valuing such equity interests relative to the UP Securities), in the calculation of the number of UP Shares or other equity interests to be paid; provided, further that if, during the 90-day period ending on the Realization Date, (i) the average daily weighted average price of the UP Shares was such that if all of the Parent’s and the Company’s UP Shares were sold at such a price, Southern Cross would achieve an IRR of at least 25%, and (ii) the average daily trading volume of the UP Shares is no less than 0.5% of the total number of UP Shares then outstanding, then Hazels may elect, in its sole discretion, to receive the Earn-Out Payment from the Parent, in whole or in part, in the form of UP Shares and/or Shares of the Parent. In the event that, no earlier than 15 days prior to the Realization Date, the Parent reasonably believes that the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the previous sentence will be true upon the Realization Date, then (x) the Parent shall, no later than ten days prior to the Realization Date, deliver to Hazels a written notice describing the Transfer of its UP Securities and the Company’s UP Securities to a Third Party and setting forth its belief that the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) above will be true upon the Realization Date, (y) Hazels shall, no later than two Business Days following its receipt of written notice from the Parent described in clause (x) above, deliver to the Parent a written notice of whether Hazels intends to receive all or a portion of the Earn-Out Payment in the form of UP Shares and/or Shares of the Parent, and (z) if Hazels has elected to receive all or a portion of the Earn-Out Payment in the form of UP Shares and the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) above are true upon the Realization Date, the Parent and the Company shall each withhold from its Transfer of UP Securities to such Third Party Transferee the amount of UP Shares necessary to make such payment of UP Shares to Hazels.

Section 2.03 Partial Earn-Out. In the event the Parent and/or SC Holders Transfer (directly through a Transfer by the Parent of its Southern Cross Investments and/or indirectly through a Transfer by SC Holders of their Parent Shares) less than 100% of the Southern Cross Investments held by the Parent to a Third Party (other than any UP Securities or Parent Shares Transferred to Hazels as a form of payment of the Earn-Out Payment in compliance with Section 2.02) (the date of such occurrence, the “Partial Realization Date”), then the Parent shall pay, or shall cause an Affiliate of the Parent to pay, to Hazels, within 15 days following the Partial Realization Date, a payment (the “Preliminary Earn-Out Payment”) in an amount, if any, as calculated based upon the IRR of Southern Cross on the Partial Realization Date and using the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Procedures (it being understood that the IRR on any Partial Realization Date shall take into account (i) 100% of the Southern Cross Investments and (ii) the actual amount of Southern Cross Net Proceeds received up to and including such Partial Realization Date). In the event of a Preliminary Earn-Out Payment, Hazels hereby agrees to pledge to the Parent the votes (and provide to the Parent any necessary proxies) attached to all UP Shares paid by the Parent and the Company to Hazels in connection with such Preliminary Earn-Out Payment, until the Realization Date. The Preliminary Earn-Out Payment will be subject to Sections 2.02 and 2.04 in the same manner as the Earn-Out Payment; provided, that no Preliminary Earn-Out Payment may be paid in the form of Parent Shares. On or before the date of the Preliminary Earn-Out Payment, the Parent shall prepare and deliver to Hazels a written statement setting forth its determination of the IRR of Southern Cross on the Partial Realization Date and its calculation of the resulting Preliminary Earn-Out Payment in accordance with the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Procedures. In the event an Earn-Out Payment is paid subsequent to the payment of a Preliminary Earn-Out Payment, the amount of the Earn-Out Payment shall take into account and be reduced by any Preliminary Earn-Out Payment previously paid to Hazels.

Section 2.04 Termination of Earn-Out Payment Rights. Whereas, the continuing employment of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx is important for the future management of the Company, the right of Hazels to receive an Earn-Out Payment or a Preliminary Earn-Out Payment shall terminate in the event: (a) within five years of the Closing Date, either Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx voluntarily terminates his employment with UP, other than for reasons involving circumstances, including personal health or otherwise, that render them mentally or physically incapacitated and therefore unable for a period of at least 180 consecutive days to perform their duties, (b) within five years of the Closing Date, the employment of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx is terminated by UP for Cause, or (c) either Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx engages or assists others in engaging in any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) that is competitive with UP’s business of inland marine transportation in Latin America, the offshore supply vessel business, oceangoing liquid and dry bulk transportation business, the ship management business and such other businesses in which UP may be engaged at the time of such engagement or assistance by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx.

Subject to compliance with Section 3.01 and the MAA, any Shareholder may at any time Transfer any or all of its Shares to one or more of its Permitted Transferees without compliance with Article IV upon obtaining the approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) such Shareholder has given the Company and each other Shareholder ten Business Days’ prior written notice of such Transfer, (ii) the Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder has executed and delivered to the Company and each other Shareholder a Joinder, and (iii) if the Company or another Shareholder reasonably requests, such Shareholder has provided the Company and each other Shareholder satisfactory evidence that its proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. The Company shall refuse to register any such Transfer if (a) the Shareholder proposing the Transfer has not provided the Company with the documentation required under this Section 3.03, or (b) the Board determines in good faith, based on advice from counsel, that such Transfer would reasonably be expected to violate the MAA, the Securities Act or applicable state “blue sky” or non-U.S. securities laws.

ARTICLE IV

TAG-ALONG RIGHTS; DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS

Section 4.01 Tag-Along Rights. (a) Subject to Sections 4.01(f) and 4.03, if either SC Holders or MDZ (the “Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer (including by way of a merger), directly or indirectly, in a transaction otherwise permitted by Article III, any Parent Shares (in the case of SC Holders) or any Class B Shares (in the case of MDZ) to a Third Party (a “Tag-Along Sale”),

(i) the Tag-Along Seller shall provide to the Parent, the Company and to SC Holders (if MDZ is the Tag-Along Seller) or MDZ (if SC Holders is the Tag-Along Seller) (the “Tag-Along Shareholder”), notice, at least 30 days prior to the proposed closing of the Tag-Along Sale, of the terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer (“Tag-Along Notice”) and offer the Tag-Along Shareholder the opportunity to participate in such Transfer on the same terms and conditions, including for the same consideration per share (and for purposes of equating Parent Shares and Class B Shares, the relative value of each shall be determined as set forth in the definition of Tag-Along Portion), in accordance with this Section 4.01; and

(ii) the Tag-Along Shareholder may elect, at its option, to participate in the proposed Transfer in accordance with this Section 4.01 (such electing Tag-Along Shareholder, the “Tagging Person”).

The Tag-Along Notice shall identify the number of Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller, the consideration for which the Transfer is proposed to be made, and all other material terms and conditions of the Transfer (the “Tag-Along Offer”), including the form of the proposed agreement, if any, and a firm offer by the proposed transferee to purchase Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, from the Tag-Along Shareholder in accordance with this Section 4.01; provided that in connection with a Tag-Along Sale, the liability of the Tagging Person shall not exceed the net sale proceeds received by the Tagging Person in the Tag-Along Sale.

The Tagging Person shall have the right (a “Tag-Along Right”), exercisable by notice (“Tag-Along Response Notice”) given to the Tag-Along Seller within ten Business Days after its receipt of the Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), to request that the Tag Along Seller include in the proposed Transfer the number of (x) Parent Shares held by the Tagging Person (if the Tagging Person is SC Holders) or (y) Class B Shares held by the Tagging Person (if the Tagging Person is MDZ), as is specified in the Tag-Along Response Notice; provided that, if the aggregate value of Parent Shares and Class B Shares (determined as set forth in the definition of Tag-Along Portion) proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller and the Tagging Person in such transaction exceeds the value of Parent Shares and Class B Shares that can be sold on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, then the Tagging Person shall be entitled to include in the Tag-Along Sale only its Tag-Along Portion of Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, and the Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to include the number of Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller as set forth in the Tag-Along Notice (reduced, to the extent necessary, so that the Tagging Person shall be able to include its Tag-Along Portion). The Tag-Along Response Notice shall include wire transfer instructions for payment of the purchase price for the Parent Shares and Class B Shares to be sold in such Tag-Along Sale and an unconditional agreement to deliver such Parent Shares and Class B Shares at the closing of the Tag-Along Sale against delivery of the consideration therefor.

The Tagging Person will Transfer its Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, to be included in the Tag-Along Sale to the proposed transferee at the time and place at which the Tag-Along Seller shall Transfer its Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, to the proposed transferee. The Tagging Person will not be obligated to Transfer any Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, to the proposed transferee if the Tag-Along Seller defaults in its obligation to Transfer its Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, to the proposed transferee.

If, at the end of a 60-day period after such delivery of such Tag-Along Notice (which 60-day period shall be extended if any of the transactions contemplated by the Tag-Along Offer are subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 120 days following delivery of the Tag-Along Notice by the Tag-Along Seller), the Tag-Along Seller has not completed the Transfer of all such Parent Shares and Class B Shares on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, the Tag-Along Seller shall (i) cause the return to the Tagging Person of all certificates evidencing the Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, that the Tagging Person delivered for Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) and any other documents executed by the Tagging Person in connection with the proposed Tag Along Sale, and (ii) not conduct any Transfer of Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, without again complying with the transfer restrictions in this Agreement.

(b) Concurrently with the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale, the Tag Along Seller shall (i) notify the Tagging Person thereof, (ii) remit (or cause the transferee to remit) to the Tagging Person the total consideration for the Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, of the Tagging Person Transferred pursuant thereto, with the cash portion of the purchase price paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions in the applicable Tag-Along Response Notices and (iii) promptly after the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, furnish such other evidence of the completion and the date of completion of such transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Tagging Person.

(c) If at the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period any Tag-Along Shareholder shall not have elected to participate in the Tag-Along Sale, such Tag-Along Shareholder shall be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 4.01(a) with respect to the Transfer of its Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, pursuant to such Tag-Along Sale.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.01, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to the Tagging Person (other than the obligation to return (i) any certificates evidencing Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, received by the Tag-Along Seller from the Tagging Person and (ii) other related documents specified above) if the Transfer of Parent Shares and Class B Shares pursuant to this Section 4.01 is not consummated for whatever reason.

(e) If the Tag-Along Seller has received a Tag-Along Response Notice and the Tagging Person is otherwise in compliance with this Section 4.01, the Tag-Along Seller may not Transfer any Parent Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, to the proposed Third Party transferee unless such proposed transferee shall simultaneously purchase all of the Parent Shares and Class B Shares elected to be included in such Tag-Along Sale in accordance with this Section 4.01 for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed sale described in the Tag-Along Notice.

(f) The provisions of this Section 4.01 shall not apply to any proposed Transfer of Parent Shares or Class B Shares by the Tag-Along Seller pursuant to Section 4.02 or to a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee.

Section 4.02 Drag-Along Rights. (a) Subject to Section 4.03, if after the date that is four years following the date of this Agreement, SC Holders (the “Drag-Along Seller”) propose to Transfer (including by way of a merger) all of their Parent Shares to a Third Party (a “Qualifying Drag-Along Sale”), the Drag-Along Seller may at its option require MDZ to Transfer all Class B Shares then held by MDZ in such sale for the same consideration per share (and for purposes of equating Parent Shares and Class B Shares, the relative value of each shall be determined as set forth in the definition of Tag-Along Portion) and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Drag-Along Seller (except that the liability of MDZ shall not exceed the net sale proceeds received by MDZ in the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale), all in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.02.

(b) The Drag-Along Seller shall provide notice of such Qualifying Drag-Along Sale to the Parent, the Company and MDZ (a “Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice”) not later than 30 days prior to the proposed Qualifying Drag-Along Sale. The Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice shall contain the following: (i) the number of Parent Shares owned by SC Holders; (ii) the identity of the Third Party to whom the Transfer is to be made, if then known (the “Qualifying Drag-Along Transferee”); (iii) the consideration per Parent Share and Class B Share for which a Transfer is proposed to be made (with respect to each of Parent Shares and Class B Shares, the “Target Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Price”), as well as the aggregate consideration to be paid for all Parent Shares and Class B Shares to be sold (provided, that in the case of any non-cash consideration, such consideration consists of marketable securities of public companies that are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Global Selected Market, London Stock Exchange or Toronto Stock Exchange, and whose average daily trading volume for the six months prior to the date of the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice is at least 7.5% of the amount of securities that would be given to MDZ as consideration); (iv) a copy of any purchase contract with the Qualifying Drag-Along Transferee and (v) all other material terms and conditions of the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale, to the extent then determined.

(c) MDZ shall be required to participate in the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice and to tender all its Class B Shares proposed to be Transferred as set forth below. The Qualifying Drag-Along Sale shall be on the same terms applicable to all Shareholders; provided that the Target Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Price of the Parent Shares and the Class B Shares shall be no less than an amount that, as applied to the UP Shares held by the Parent and the Company, would result in Southern Cross achieving an IRR of at least 20%. Not later than ten Business Days after receipt of the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice, MDZ shall deliver to a representative of the Drag-Along Seller designated in the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice wire transfer instructions (provided that MDZ shall be entitled to modify such information in a writing delivered to such designated representative no later than three Business Days prior to the proposed closing date of the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale) for payment of the cash portion of the consideration to be received in such Qualifying Drag-Along Sale and an unconditional agreement to deliver such Class B Shares at the closing for such Qualifying Drag-Along Sale against delivery to MDZ of the consideration therefor. If MDZ should fail to deliver certificates evidencing such Class B Shares to the Drag-Along Seller along with such other documentation as may be necessary to Transfer such Class B Shares, such Class B Shares shall be Transferred to the Qualifying Drag-Along Transferee without surrender for Transfer by the holder thereof.

(d) The Drag-Along Seller shall have a period of 60 days from the date of sending the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice to consummate the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice, provided that, if such Qualifying Drag-Along Sale is subject to regulatory approval, such 60-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days following the date of sending the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice. If the Qualifying Drag-Along Sale shall not have been consummated during such period, the Drag-Along Seller shall return to MDZ all certificates and other applicable instruments evidencing Class B Shares that MDZ delivered for Transfer pursuant to Section 4.02(c), together with any other documents in the possession of the Drag-Along Seller executed by MDZ in connection with such proposed Transfer, and all the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement or the MAA or otherwise applicable at such time with respect to such Class B Shares owned by MDZ shall again be in effect.

(e) Concurrently with the consummation of the Transfer of Parent Shares and Class B Shares pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Drag-Along Seller shall give notice thereof to MDZ, and shall remit or cause the Parent to distribute (via dividend or otherwise) to MDZ the total consideration (the cash portion of which is to be paid by wire transfer in accordance with MDZ’s wire transfer instructions) for the Class B Shares Transferred pursuant hereto, as well as any Earn-Out Payment due as a result of such sale within five Business Days of such sale, and shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of such Transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by MDZ.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.02, there shall be no liability on the part of the Drag-Along Seller to MDZ (other than the obligation to return the certificates and other applicable instruments evidencing Class B Shares received by the Drag-Along Seller) if the Transfer of Parent Shares and Class B Shares pursuant to this Section 4.02 is not consummated for whatever reason, regardless of whether the Drag-Along Seller has delivered a Qualifying Drag-Along Sale Notice.

(g) The provisions of this Section 4.02 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect in the event that after the date that is three years following the date of this Agreement (i) UP, the Parent or the Company has successfully completed a Follow-On Third Party Sale at a price such that if all of the Parent’s and the Company’s UP Shares were sold at such a price on the date of such sale, Southern Cross would achieve an IRR of at least 30%, or (ii) the directors nominated to the Board of Directors of UP by the Parent have not approved a proposal by a director nominated to the Board of Directors of UP by MDZ to cause the Parent or the Company to make a Follow-On Third Party Sale following a 180-day period in which the daily weighted average price of the UP Shares was such that if all of the Parent’s and the Company’s UP Shares were sold at such a price on the date of such proposal, Southern Cross would achieve an IRR of at least 30% (provided that such proposal is made within 90 days following the end of such 180-day period).

Section 4.03 Additional Conditions to Tag-Along and Drag-Along Sales. Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 4.01 or 4.02, the rights and obligations of any Shareholder to participate in a Tag-Along Sale under Section 4.01 or a Qualifying Drag-Along Sale under Section 4.02 are subject to the following conditions:

Issuer:

Sparrow CI Sub Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Bahamas (the “Company”).

Classes of Securities:

Class A Shares:

Shares of Class A common stock, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Company (“Class A Shares”).

Class B Shares:

Shares of Class B common stock, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Company (“Class B Shares”).

Initially, Class A Shares will be issued to Sparrow Capital Investments Ltd. (“Parent”) and no Class B Shares will be issued. A warrant to purchase Class B Shares (the “Warrant”) will be issued to Hazels (Bahamas) Investments Inc. (“Hazels”).

Rights of Securities:

Voting:

The Class A Shares shall be entitled to all of the voting rights with respect to the Company, including the designation of directors.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall vote its shares of Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited (“UP Shares”) solely as directed by Parent, in its capacity as sole holder of voting Class A Shares.

The Class B Shares shall not be entitled to any voting rights with respect to the Company, subject to the conversion of Class B Shares into voting securities as set forth below; provided that Hazels will have certain contractual rights set forth in the Company Shareholders’ Agreement entitling Hazels to the right of prior approval over certain major actions proposed to be taken by the Company.

Economic Rights Prior to Exercise of Warrant:

Prior to the time when the Warrant becomes exercisable and is exercised for Class B Shares, all dividends paid on UP Shares will be distributable to the Class A Shares.

Economic Rights Following Exercise of Warrant:

Following the exercise of the Warrant into Class B Shares held by Hazels, except as expressly stated herein, all economic interests of the Company, including, without limitation, economic interests in the UP Shares held by the Company and any dividends paid thereon after such exercise, shall be vested in the Class B Shares. In the event the UP Shares held by the Company are converted to securities of another entity via a merger, or are converted to cash via a cash merger, then the Class B Shares are entitled to the economic interests in such cash or securities.

Economic Rights Following the Expiration of the Warrant:

In the event the Warrant is terminated subject to the terms and conditions thereof, and no Class B Shares are issued, then all economic interests of the Company, including, without limitation, economic interests in the UP Shares held by the Company, shall be vested in the Class A Shares and the UP Shares may be distributed to Parent, as the sole holder of Class A Shares.

Cancellation of Class A Shares and Conversion of Class B Shares to Voting Securities:

In the event (i) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Parent are sold to a third party, (ii) Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund III, L.P. and Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund IV, L.P. and their respective affiliates cease to beneficially own any capital stock of Parent, (iii) Parent sells to a third party all of the UP Shares held by Parent, or (iv) Hazels sells all of the outstanding Class B Shares to a third party (and in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii), the drag-along right forth in the Company Shareholders’ Agreement is not exercised), then all of the Class A Shares shall be automatically cancelled with no further action required on the part of any holder thereof, and the Class B Shares shall automatically be converted into voting securities of the Company.
