(a) Taxes relating to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Date Tax Period or Post-Closing Date Tax Period for purposes of determining the portion of such Taxes that are Pre-Closing Date Taxes as follows: Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or imposed on a transactional basis, be deemed equal to the amount of Tax that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of other Taxes, determined by allocating such Taxes between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period on a per diem basis. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated pro rata per day between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) Following the Closing, the Sellers and the Purchasers will cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in the preparation of any Tax returns and in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes involving or relating to the Acquired Entities (which cooperation will include the retention and, upon request, the provision to the requesting party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to the preparation of such Tax return or to the conduct of such audit or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder). The Purchasers and the Sellers agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Entities relating to any Pre-Closing Date Tax Period, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority, and (ii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any other party so requests, the applicable Purchasers or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow such other party to take possession of such books and records. The Purchasers will promptly provide the Sellers with written notification in the manner set forth in (and subject to the terms of) Section 8.3(a) (an “Audit Notice”) of any notice of any Tax audits or other assessments against any of the Acquired Entities involving any Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(c) The Sellers shall control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with the conduct of any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding related to Pre-Closing Taxes for which the Sellers are obligated to provide indemnification under this agreement (other than Taxes relating to a Straddle Period), and the Sellers will reasonably consult with the Purchasers prior to any settlement thereof and will not enter into any such

settlement without the Purchasers’ prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement could result in an increase in any Taxes for which the Purchasers are not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) The Sellers and the Purchasers will jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes of any of the Acquired Entities for any Straddle Period. Neither the Sellers nor the Purchasers will settle any assessment or claim made by any Governmental Authority in any such audit or other proceeding without the prior written consent of the other (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.3 Post-Closing Actions; Refunds.

(a) Post-Closing Actions. Except as may be required by Law, this Agreement, or any other agreement entered into by an Acquired Entity prior to the Closing, the Purchasers shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Acquired Entities to, (i) take any action during any Straddle Period, outside of the ordinary course of business, or make any election, that could increase the Sellers’ liability for Taxes (including any liability of the Sellers to indemnify the Purchasers for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) amend, re-file or otherwise modify any Tax return for any period that includes, or ends on or prior to, the Closing Date, in each case, without the Sellers’ prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, continued or delayed).

(b) The Purchasers shall control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with the conduct of any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding related to Post-Closing Taxes for which the Purchasers are obligated to provide indemnification under this agreement (other than Taxes relating to a Straddle Period), and, prior to the Closing Date, the Purchasers will reasonably consult with the Sellers prior to any settlement thereof and will not enter into any such settlement without the Sellers’ prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement could result in an increase in any Taxes for which the Sellers are not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) Refunds. Any refunds or credits of Taxes paid by, for or on behalf of the Acquired Entities relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (plus any interest actually received with respect thereto and including refunds or credits arising from amended Tax returns filed on or after the Closing Date) shall be for the Sellers’ account and, if received by the Purchasers or their Affiliates, shall be paid to the Sellers within ten (10) Business Days after received by the Purchasers or such Affiliate; provided, that such refunds or credits of Taxes shall be for the Sellers’ account only if and to the extent that the Tax liability to which the refund or credit relates was paid by an Acquired Company prior to the Closing Date or paid (or actually indemnified) by the Sellers.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Indemnification by the Sellers. Subject to Sections 8.4 and 8.6, each Seller will, severally and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Purchaser and their respective successors (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against and pay or reimburse, as the case may be, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all Damages that may be asserted against, or paid, suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party that directly arise out of, result from, are based upon or relate to:

(a) Any breach by any Seller of any of such Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or other documents to be executed by such Seller in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions;

(b) any failure by any Seller to duly and timely perform or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements required to be performed by such Seller under this Agreement or other documents to be executed by such Seller in connection herewith or the Transactions; or

(c) any Pre-Closing Taxes in excess of amounts reserved therefor to the extent set forth in the Financial Statements; provided, however, that the Sellers shall not indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, from any liability for Pre-Closing Taxes attributable to any action taken after the Closing by the Purchasers, any of their Affiliates, or any transferee of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates if such action was taken in breach of Section 7.3(a) (a “Purchaser Tax Act”).

For purposes of Section 8.1, each Seller’s responsibility in respect of Damages relating to the representations and warranties contained in Article IV, covenants to be performed jointly by the Sellers and matters covered by 8.1(c) shall be limited to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such Damages.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by the Purchasers. Subject to Sections 8.4 and 8.6, each Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller and their respective successors (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against and pay or reimburse, as the case may be, the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Damages that may be asserted against, or paid, suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party that directly arise out of, result from, are based upon or relate to:

(a) Any breach by any Purchaser of any of such Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or other documents to be executed by such Purchaser in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions;

(b) any failure by any Purchaser to duly and timely perform or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements required to be performed by such Purchaser under this Agreement or other documents to be executed by such Purchaser in connection herewith or the Transactions; or

(c) all Taxes of, or payable by, any of the Acquired Entities (including any Company Subsidiary) other than any Pre-Closing Taxes for which the Sellers are indemnifying under Sections 8.1(a) or (c).

For purposes of Section 8.2, each Purchaser’s responsibility in respect of Damages relating to the representations and warranties contained in Article V, covenants to be performed jointly by the Purchasers and matters covered by 8.2(c) shall be limited to such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of such Damages.

Section 8.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter, or any Indemnified Party shall otherwise learn of an assertion or of a potential claim, by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party will, as promptly as practicable, but in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim, including the factual basis for the Third Party Claim and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article VIII, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof (except that the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all non-ministerial notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right within 15 days after receipt of a notice from the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in which case any Damages associated therewith will be the sole responsibility of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be entitled to assume the settlement or defense of a Third Party Claim if such Third

Party Claim relates to or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action involving the Indemnified Party as a defendant, and (ii) may assume the settlement or defense of a Third Party Claim seeking injunctive relief (with respect only to such injunctive relief) if the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense prior to the time required to respond to the Third Party Claim seeking injunctive relief. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party reasonably agree that a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to represent such Indemnified Party and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense and any such counsel shall cooperate with the legal counsel of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party completely from all liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not and will cause its Affiliates not to, admit any liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of all material developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense thereof (and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such cooperation),

which cooperation will include the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, but shall not include the retention of separate legal counsel; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so cooperate shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations hereunder unless the defense of the claim will be materially prejudiced thereby.

(e) Any claim on account of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim will be asserted by reasonably prompt written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party from whom such indemnification is sought. The delay by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article VIII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof.

(f) In connection with any matter for which a claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable and necessary access to all documents, data, products, product exemplars and knowledgeable personnel of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates relevant to any such matter (and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such access). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its Affiliates to, provide employees to act as witnesses, prepare and execute statements, authorizations, orders, reports and other documents and information and provide such other assistance, in each case that is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection with any matter for which a claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party under this Agreement, including in anticipation of, or preparation for, existing or future litigation or other matters in which the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates is involved.

(g) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Indemnified Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

Section 8.4 Certain Limitations.

(a) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified Party in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts actually received (including amounts received under insurance policies) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party from third parties (net of out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with seeking to collect and collecting such amounts), in respect of such Damages (such net amounts are referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”). If any Indemnified Party receives any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of an Indemnified Claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such Indemnified Claim has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such Indemnified Claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the remaining unpaid balance of such Indemnified Claim, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Indemnified Claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each Seller and each Purchaser will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement.

(b) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Seller will have any obligation to indemnify a Purchaser with respect to any matter if the Damages arise from a change in the accounting or Tax policies or practices of any of the Acquired Entities on or after the Closing Date.

(c) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Purchaser nor any Seller will be entitled to any recovery under this Agreement for special, punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect or consequential damages (perjuicios o lucro cesante), lost profits or diminution in value, except for any such damages that may be awarded in connection with a Third Party Claim for which a party is entitled to be indemnified.

Section 8.5 Termination of Indemnification Obligations.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Sellers or the Purchasers will survive the Closing Date until (and will expire and be of no further force or effect after) fifteen months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties

contained in Sections 3.2 [Authorization], 3.4 [Share Ownership], 4.2 [Capitalization of the Company], and 5.2 [Authorization] (collectively, the “Fundamental Reps”) shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, a party’s representations and warranties shall be deemed to include such party’s Disclosure Schedule and all other documents or certificates delivered by or on behalf of such party in connection with this Agreement. No party’s rights hereunder (including rights under this Article VIII) shall be affected by any investigation conducted by or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such party at any time, whether before or after the execution or delivery of this Agreement.

(c) The obligations of each party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, (i) pursuant to Sections 8.1(a) and 8.2(a) will terminate when the applicable representation or warranty expires pursuant to Section 8.5(a) and (ii) pursuant to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2(c) will terminate on the date that is 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations relating to any Pre-Closing Taxes or Post-Closing Taxes and, as such and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Indemnified Party must give notice to the relevant Indemnifying Party of any claim for indemnification with respect thereto under this Article VIII in writing setting forth the specific claim and the basis therefor in reasonable detail prior to such date; provided, however, that as to clauses (i) and (ii) above, such obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless will not terminate with respect to any individual item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.6 Dollar Limitations.

(a) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the maximum liability of any Indemnifying Party under Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b), 8.2(a), or 8.2(b) as applicable, exceed, and such Indemnifying Party’s aggregate liability for any and all claims under Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b), 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) as applicable, shall be limited to, an amount equal to: (i) in the case of the Sellers, each Seller’s Pro Rata Share of 10% of the Purchase Price, and (ii) in the case of the Purchasers, each Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of 10% of the Purchase Price (such limitations on liability to be referred to herein as the “Cap”); provided, however, that (x) any Seller’s aggregate liability for breaches of any Fundamental Reps shall be such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price, and (y) any Purchaser’s aggregate liability for breaches of any Fundamental Reps shall be such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price.

(b) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no monetary amount will be payable by any Indemnifying Party with respect to the indemnification of any claims pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or 8.2(a), as applicable, until the aggregate amount of

Damages actually incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, with respect to such claims shall exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $8 million (the “Deductible”), in which event such Indemnifying Party shall be responsible only for the amount in excess of the Deductible. In addition, no party will be responsible for making payments with respect to Damages for any individual items pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or 8.2(a), as applicable, where the aggregate Damages relating thereto are less than $500,000 and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of determining whether aggregate Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party exceed the Deductible. In connection with any claim for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) or 8.2(a), as applicable, the Indemnified Party will promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice of all claims included in the Deductible and copies of all documents reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party relating thereto.

Section 8.7 Exclusive Remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the indemnification provided in this Article VIII and specific performance pursuant to Section 9.15 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to each of the parties for any matters in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions following the Closing, other than any remedies for fraud provided in no event will one party be responsible for the fraud of any other party.

Section 9.8 Arbitration.

(a) The parties shall endeavor to resolve amicably by negotiation any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, and also including claims sounding in contract, tort, statutory or otherwise (a “Dispute”). Any Dispute which remains unresolved thirty (30) days after either party requests in writing negotiation under this clause, or within such other period as the parties may agree in writing, shall be finally resolved and decided by binding arbitration pursuant to the then-applicable Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) by three (3) arbitrators to be selected in the following manner. Within thirty (30) days after the date of the notice initiating arbitration, one arbitrator shall be selected by the petitioning party or parties (the “Claimant”) and one arbitrator shall be selected by the party or parties defending the arbitration (the “Respondent”), within thirty (30) days thereafter, failing which such arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC pursuant to the Rules. The third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral tribunal, shall be selected by the two (2)

arbitrators selected by the Claimant and the Respondent, or, if such arbitrators cannot agree within thirty (30) days on the third arbitrator, such arbitrator will be selected by the ICC pursuant to the Rules. Each arbitrator shall be and remain independent of the parties involved in the arbitration. All appointed arbitrators must be bilingual in English and Spanish. In the event that there is a Dispute where the amount of all disclosed claims and counterclaims does not exceed U.S.$1,000,000, such Dispute shall be heard by a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules. The seat of the arbitration proceeding shall be in the City of Miami, Florida. Any party shall refer the Dispute to arbitration by sending a written request to the other parties. All communications during the negotiation under this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the applicable rules of evidence and any additional confidentiality and professional secrecy protections provided by applicable law. The official language of arbitration shall be Spanish. Documents that are originally in English or Spanish may be submitted without translation.

(b) The decision of the arbitral panel shall be in writing and shall set forth in detail the facts of the Dispute and the reasons for the decision. Each party accepts and consents to the jurisdiction of the arbitral panel and, solely for purposes of the enforcement of the arbitral award, any court of competent jurisdiction, for itself and in respect of its property, and waives in respect of both itself and its property, any defense it may have as to or based on lack of jurisdiction, improper venue or inconvenient forum. The arbitral award shall be binding on the parties, who hereby waive any appeal of such award. In the event that the losing party fails or refuses to comply with the arbitral award within fourteen (14) days following the date of receipt of notice of the award, then the prevailing party or parties, the arbitrators or their respective attorneys-in-fact may immediately proceed to request the judicial approval necessary for execution and enforcement of the award before a competent court or before any other court where such party or its assets and properties may be found, and the parties agree not to oppose the immediate domestication and enforcement of the award in any such court, including without limitation the courts of the United States or any other country. The parties agree that the award may be enforced in accordance with the provisions of the 1958 United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, or other applicable Laws. The arbitral panel shall not have the authority to award punitive damages to any injured party.

(c) All of the expenses that arise from the arbitral proceeding as well as the fees of the arbitrators shall be paid by the losing party or parties, if any, as determined by the arbitrators. Said losing party or parties shall reimburse the prevailing party or parties the amounts deposited by the prevailing parties at the commencement of the arbitration or thereafter as required by the arbitrators. The parties shall each bear the costs and fees of their respective counsel, irrespective of the outcome of the arbitration.

Section 9.9 Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any court of the state of New York located in the County of New York for the

enforcement of any arbitration award rendered pursuant to Section 9.8 hereof; provided, however, that such consent to jurisdiction is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 9.9 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to the jurisdiction of said courts or in the state of New York other than for such purpose. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive any right to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 9.10 Appointment of Agent for Service of Process.
