To such counsel's knowledge, there is no condition to the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements that is required under such Transaction Agreement to be satisfied at or prior to closing and which cannot or will not be satisfied. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state its opinion is limited to matters governed by the Federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters involving the application of the laws of Puerto Rico to the extent such counsel deems proper and to the extent specified in such opinion, if at all, upon an opinion or opinions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Initial Purchasers) of other counsel reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Initial Purchasers, and familiar with the applicable laws. Such opinion shall also include a statement to the effect (but in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers) that (x) such counsel has acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation of the Offering Memorandum, and (y) based on the foregoing, no facts have come to the attention of such counsel which lead it to believe that, as of its date and as of the date of such opinion, the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein, but excluding the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein, but excluding the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or 20 necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing opinion and statement may be qualified by a statement to the effect that such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Memorandum except as set forth in clause (x) above, insofar as such statements relate to legal matters. (d) The Initial Purchasers shall have received from Clifford Chance US LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Offering Memorandum and other related matters as the Initial Purchaser may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. (e) At the time of execution of this Agreement, the Initial Purchasers shall have received from KPMG LLP a letter, in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, addressed to the Initial Purchasers and dated the date hereof (i) confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii) stating, as of the date hereof (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum, as of a date not more than five days prior to the date hereof), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings. (f) With respect to the letter of KPMG LLC referred to in the preceding paragraph and delivered to the Initial Purchasers concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the "initial letter"), the Company shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers a letter (the "bring-down letter") of such accountants, addressed to the Initial Purchasers and dated such Closing Date (i) confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii) stating, as of the date of the bring-down letter (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum, as of a date not more than five days prior to the date of the bring-down letter), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters covered by the initial letter and (iii) confirming in all material respects the conclusions and findings set forth in the initial letter. (g) The Company shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of its Chairman of the Board, its President or a Vice President and its chief financial officer stating that: (i) The representations, warranties and agreements of the Company in Section 2 are true and correct as of the Closing Date; the Company has complied with all its agreements contained herein; and the conditions set forth in Section 7(h) and (i) have been fulfilled; (ii) No default or event of default with respect to any Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations) exists or will exist as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and each of the Company and its subsidiaries has duly performed or observed all material obligations, agreements, covenants or conditions contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, including without limitation the indenture relating to the Existing Notes; and 21 (iii) They have carefully examined the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) and, in their opinion (A) as of its date, the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) did not include any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (B) since its date no event has occurred which should have been set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Offering Memorandum. (h) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum (i) any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Offering Memorandum or (ii) since such date there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Offering Memorandum, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock being delivered on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Memorandum. (i) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company's debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization", as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company's debt securities. (j) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have been suspended or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or such market by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or state authorities, (iii) the United States shall have become engaged in hostilities, there shall have been an escalation in hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (iv) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such) as to make it, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock being delivered on such Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Memorandum. All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers. 8. Indemnification and Contribution. 22 (a) The Company, and each of the Significant Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Exempt Resales), to which that Initial Purchaser, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) or in any amendment or supplement thereto; (B) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock ("Marketing Material"), including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically, or (C) in any blue sky application or other document prepared or executed by the Company (or based upon any written information furnished by the Company) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a "Blue Sky Application"), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Memorandum, (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in the Marketing Materials, or in any Blue Sky Application, of any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by the Initial Purchasers in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Series A Preferred Stock or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided that the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Initial Purchasers through their gross negligence or willful misconduct), and shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers and each such officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each Initial Purchaser, its officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in Offering Memorandum, or in any such amendment or supplement, or in any Blue Sky Application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company by or on behalf of that Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company or the Significant Subsidiaries may otherwise have to any Initial Purchaser or to any officer, employee or controlling person of that Initial Purchaser. (b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and employees, each of its directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in the Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) in any Blue Sky Application or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, 23 but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company by or on behalf of that Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company and any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have to the Company or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided farther, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Initial Purchasers and the Initial Purchasers and their respective officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Initial Purchasers against the Company or the Significant Subsidiaries under this Section 8 if, in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers, it is advisable for the Initial Purchasers and those officers, employees and controlling persons to be jointly represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company or the Significant Subsidiaries. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by 24 the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries, on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries, on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries or the Initial Purchasers, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the net proceeds deemed to be received by the Company shall be deemed to be also for the benefit of the Significant Subsidiaries and information supplied by the Company shall also be deemed to have been supplied by the Significant Subsidiaries. The Company and the Significant Subsidiaries and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8 were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by it and sold in accordance with this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 1l(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchaser's obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. (e) Each Initial Purchaser confirms and the Company acknowledges that the statements with respect to the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock by the Initial Purchaser set forth on the "Plan of Distribution" in the Offering Memorandum are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion in the Offering Memorandum. 9. Termination. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Series A Preferred Stock if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 7(h), 7(i) or 7(k), shall have occurred or if the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement. 25 10. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers' Expenses. If the Company shall fail to tender the Series A Preferred Stock for delivery to the Initial Purchasers by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to perform any agreement on its part to be performed, or because any other condition of the obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company is not fulfilled, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers. 11. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and: (a) if to the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Initial Purchaser c/o Lehman Brothers Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Stephen Mehos (Fax: 646 ###-###-####), with a copy, in the case of any notice pursuant to Section 8(c), to the Director of Litigation, Office of the General Counsel, Lehman Brothers Inc., 399 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022; (b) if to the Company, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Offering Memorandum, Attention: Raul Alarcon, Jr. (Fax: (305) 444-2179) with a copy to William E.

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect at the time of receipt thereof. The Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by Lehman Brothers Inc. 12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company, and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that (A) the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the person or persons, if any, who control any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act and (B) the indemnity agreement of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 8(b) of this Agreement shall be deemed to be for the benefit of directors of the Company and any person controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 12, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. 13. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Significant Subsidiaries and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf on them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Series A Preferred Stock and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them. 14. Definition of the Terms "Business Day" and "Subsidiary". For purposes of this Agreement, (a) "business day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading and (b) "subsidiary" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations. 26 15. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 17.
