8
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the written consent of the Purchaser and the Seller, in any case, as to the form, content, and timing and manner of distribution or publication of such press release or other public disclosure; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Parent is a public company and Parent and its subsidiaries operate in a regulated industry and, in each case, will be required to make certain disclosures with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as a result thereof, which disclosures will not require the consent of the Seller and (ii) if Parent, Purchaser or the Company make any press release or other public disclosure that is substantially consistent with any previously made public disclosure (which was permitted to be made in accordance with this Section 5.1), such subsequent press release or other public disclosure will not require the consent of the Seller. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, each of the Purchaser, Rodolfo Rodriguez-Duret, Graciela Victorero and the Seller shall hold confidential the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided, that, if any such Person or any of its Representatives is requested or required by law, regulation (including the rules of any securities exchange), legal or judicial process or audit or inquiries by a regulator, bank examiner or self-regulatory organization to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person or such Representative, as applicable, may disclose such Confidential Information solely to the extent requested or required; provided, further, that, the Purchaser, Rodolfo Rodriguez-Duret, Graciela Victorero and the Seller may disclose Confidential Information to their respective Affiliates, Representatives, advisors, consultants, prospective investors and current or prospective financing sources to the extent that such Person is (i) informed by the disclosing Person of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and (ii) agrees to adhere to the confidentiality terms hereof as if it were a party hereto or is otherwise bound by contractual or professional confidentiality obligations with respect to the Confidential Information. Any press release or other disclosure regarding the existence of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, its or their contents, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be approved in writing by the Purchaser and the Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, other than any disclosure required under applicable law or under the rules of any securities exchange on which the securities of such party or any of its Affiliates are listed, which disclosure shall not require such approval.
ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS
6.1The Purchaser and the Seller agree that, effective as of the Closing, the Seller Limited Liability Company Agreement is amended and restated by the Seller 2nd A&R LLCA and, effective immediately prior to the Closing, the Class P Cancellation Agreements provide that the holders of the Class P Units of the Seller agree to cancel their Class P Units and all rights of such holders with respect to such Class P Units in exchange for the right of each such holder to receive (a) his or her Initial Payment (as defined in such holder’s Class P Cancellation Agreement), if any, (b) his or her Contingent Payments (as defined in such holder’s Class P Cancellation Agreement), if any, and (b) his or her applicable portion of the Future Payments Amount as set forth on such holder’s Class P Cancellation Agreement (each, an “Individual Future Payments Amount”).
6.2The Purchaser and the Seller agree that, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Class P Cancellation Agreements provide that the holders of the Class P Units of the Seller have all right, title and interest in the Future Payments Amount. The Seller hereby irrevocably directs the Purchaser to pay, on behalf of the Seller, each of the holders of the Class P Units his or her Individual Future Payments Amount, and the Purchaser irrevocably agrees to, and the Parent irrevocably agrees to cause the Purchaser to, make all such payments on behalf of the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 1.1 above, the Purchaser will be deemed to pay the Seller the Future Payments Amount and the Seller will be deemed to pay the Future Payments Amount to the applicable holders of the Class P Units of the Seller, in each case solely after the Purchaser actually makes such payments directly to the applicable holders of the Class P Units of the Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, none of the Seller, Rodolfo Rodriguez-Duret, Graciela Victorero or any of their respective Affiliates shall in any event be required to pay to any holders of the Class P Units (i) the Future Payments Amount or any portion thereof, (ii) any Individual Future Payments Amount or any portion thereof, or (iii) any amounts payable under the Class P Cancellation Agreement (other than the Initial Payment and the Contingent Payments, if any, as such terms are defined therein).
6.3The Purchaser and the Seller agree that each of the holders of the Class P Units has, as of the date hereof, executed and delivered to the Purchaser a Class P Cancellation Agreement with the Seller and the Purchaser substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, which provides that (i) all Class P Units are cancelled effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) such holder is entitled to the payments described in Section 2 therein and (iii) such holder shall not have any further right or claim of any kind against the Seller or the Purchaser (other than as specifically set forth in Section 3 therein).
6.4Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agree that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated, consistent with Revenue Ruling 99-6, Situation 1, as a sale of partnership interests under Section 741 of the Code by the Seller and as a
9
purchase of a portion of the assets of the Company by Purchaser. For purposes of determining the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby, the amount realized (as determined for federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and the methodologies on Schedule 6.4. The Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a draft statement (the “Draft Purchase Price Allocation”) within 90 days following the date of Closing, setting forth the Purchaser’s good faith determination of such allocation in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Draft Purchase Price Allocation of any disputes with respect to such Draft Purchase Price Allocation, and if the Seller fails to notify the Purchaser of any disputes within such period, the Draft Purchase Price Allocation shall be deemed final. The Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days (or longer, if mutually agreed to by the parties) to resolve any dispute with respect to the Draft Purchase Price Allocation; provided, however, if the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Draft Purchase Price Allocation within such time, the Purchaser and the Seller shall submit the disputed items to Grant Thornton LLP or such other mutually acceptable dispute resolution group of an independent accounting firm or financial consulting firm, other than the accountants of the Purchaser, the Seller or their respective Affiliates (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of any and all matters that remain in dispute (and as to no other matter), and the Accounting Firm shall reach a final, binding resolution of all matters that remain in dispute (the Draft Purchase Price Allocation as finalized under this Section 6.4, the “Final Purchase Price Allocation”). The Accounting Firm’s resolution of the disputed items and its adjustments to Draft Purchase Price Allocation, shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The Purchaser and the Seller further agree to file all income tax returns and any other tax filings required in a manner consistent with the Final Purchase Price Allocation and shall take no contrary position prior to a final “determination” by a Governmental Entity within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.
6.5The Company shall, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all income tax returns of the Company for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the date of Closing (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) that is due after the Closing (after taking into account extensions of the due date for the filing of any such tax returns). Such tax returns shall be prepared and signed by Agreda & Company CPA under the direction of, and as determined by, the Company in manner consistent with the past practices of the Company (except as to the allocation of expenses and except that such tax returns shall be prepared in accordance with Amendment No. 4 to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement of the Company) unless otherwise required by applicable law. The Purchaser shall submit such tax return to the Seller at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such tax return for the Seller’s review and comment. The Purchaser shall reasonably consider in good faith any comments made by the Seller with respect to such tax returns.
6.6To the extent the following actions could reasonably be expected to increase the tax liability of Rodolfo Rodriguez-Duret or Graciela Victorero, the Parent and the Purchaser covenant that they shall not cause or permit the Company or any of its Affiliates to, and the Company agrees not to (a) take any action on the date of Closing after the Closing other than in the ordinary course of business; (b) make, change or revoke any income tax election or deemed income tax election or change any accounting period for income tax purposes (including for non-U.S. tax reporting purposes) that would be effective for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (c) except as provided in Section 6.5, file or amend or otherwise modify any income tax return of the Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.6(c) shall not apply to actions in response to an audit or other examination initiated by any taxing authority other than an election to make a “push-out” election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code); or (d) extend or waive the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any income tax return of the Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, without the consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
6.7Rodolfo Rodriguez-Duret and Graciela Victorero hereby resign as employees, officers, managers and directors of the Company, which resignations shall be effective as of the Closing. The Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, reimburse Rodolfo Rodriguez-Duret for the monthly Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) premium paid by or on behalf of Rodolfo Rodriguez-Duret for himself and his dependents for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on April 30, 2026.
6.8Promptly after the Closing, the parties will use reasonable efforts to, in good faith, negotiate and finalize documents with respect to Buildco that are consistent with the terms set forth in the LOI, including the Buildco MSA (as defined the LOI), and such other terms as may be agreed by the parties.
