to be most economic to Shareholders; provided, that no Fairfax Party shall be entitled to receive an amount of Argentina Cash pursuant to this clause (iii) which exceeds such Fairfax Party’s tax cost of its Company Shares (and any such excess may be reallocated by Seller Representative to other Fairfax Parties or otherwise be paid to other Persons as may be directed by Seller Representative).

(iv) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause APR Argentina to not withdraw any Argentina Cash from the Argentina Cash Account except as provided for in this Section 2.4(f).

Section 6.22 Argentina Revenue. Purchaser shall cause the Company to utilize Restricted Pesos received by APR Argentina under the Turbine Contracts to pay Argentina Opex as and when due.

11. Alternative Conversion Repatriation Covenant. A new Section 6.23 shall be added to the Acquisition Agreement as follows:

Section 6.23 Alternative Conversion and Repatriation; Amendments to Turbine Contracts.

(a) From the Closing Date until the Argentina Termination Date, the Parties will make good faith efforts toward exploring the most economic means (taking into account the applicable exchange rate and any changes to costs, fees or expenses to the Company and its Subsidiaries of such means) of converting and repatriating all Restricted Pesos to US Dollars in US Accounts, provided that any such alternatives are compliant with all applicable Law; provided, further that if Seller Representative demonstrates to Purchaser’s satisfaction (in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion) that (A) the Company can convert and repatriate payments received in Argentinian Pesos under the Turbine Contracts to US Dollars into a Company bank account in the United States (a “US Account”) (1) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such payment by APR Argentina; and (2) in a manner that results in receipt in such US Account of an amount of US Dollars without a discount to the amount of the payment translated from Argentinian Pesos into US Dollars using the Central Bank Rate as of the date of such conversion and repatriation to such US Account, less ordinary bank fees; and (B) such manner of repatriation is consistent and sustainable in compliance with all applicable Laws, then the “Argentina Termination Condition” shall be deemed to have occurred. Upon request by Seller Representative from time to time, Purchaser shall indicate in good faith by notice delivered to Seller Representative in accordance with Section 12.3 of this Agreement whether Purchaser is satisfied in its reasonable discretion that the Argentina Termination Condition has occurred.

(b) If Purchaser wishes to amend or modify any Argentina Contract during the Argentina Restricted Repatriation Period (including for any Government Imposed Amendment), Purchaser may provide written notice to the Seller Representative of the proposed terms of such amendment or modification, and from and after receipt of such notice and throughout the Turbine Contract Amendment Negotiation Period (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall act reasonably and discuss in good faith modifications (if any) required to Section 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 that would ensure that the expected liability of Sellers under Section 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 with respect to such Turbine Contract, after giving effect to such amendment, would not exceed in any respect the liability of Sellers thereunder in the absence of such amendment. Such discussions shall continue until the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of the notice described in the foregoing sentence; and (ii) the date upon which a Restricted Peso Obligation Amendment is executed (such period, the “Turbine

Contract Amendment Negotiation Period”). If Seller Representative and Purchaser mutually agree to modify the terms of Section 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 in light of such proposed amendment or modification to the applicable Turbine Contract, then such modification to Section 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 shall be effectuated pursuant to a written “Restricted Peso Obligation Amendment” executed by the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) and Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Representative shall be obligated to act reasonably and in good faith but shall not be obligated to enter into any Restricted Peso Obligation Amendment that increases (or would reasonably be expected to increase) in any respect the liability of Sellers hereunder or otherwise adversely affects the indemnification obligations of Sellers hereunder.

(c) In the case of any Government Imposed Amendment that increases or would reasonably be expected to increase the liability of Sellers or adversely affect their indemnification obligations in any respect (including any modification of payment terms or amounts thereunder that increase the amount or accelerates the timing of payments during the Argentina Restricted Repatriation Period), such Argentina Contract shall not cease to be a Turbine Contract as of the expiration of the Turbine Contract Amendment Negotiation Period applicable to such Government Imposed Amendment even if a Restricted Peso Obligation Amendment has not been entered into as of such date; provided, that (i) Sellers’ liability under Section 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 with respect to such Turbine Contract, after giving effect to such Government Imposed Amendment, shall not exceed in any respect the liability that Sellers would have had thereunder in the absence of such Government Imposed Amendment and there shall be no other adverse effect on Sellers’ indemnification obligations in any respect resulting from such Government Imposed Amendment (and Section 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 shall be deemed to be modified accordingly); and (ii) any dispute regarding the effectuation of the foregoing clause (i) shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 12.13 unless Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative mutually agree to submit such dispute to the Independent Accountant in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.4(c) of the Acquisition Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

12. Argentina Contracts. Section 8.2(g) of the Acquisition Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(g) Argentina Contracts. (i) No Argentina Contract shall have been amended, modified, terminated or otherwise changed in any material respect, including with respect to the use of any exchange rate other than that provided for in Communication A 3500, nor shall have the Company or any of its Subsidiaries waived any material rights in respect thereof and the counterparty to the Argentina Contracts shall not be more than twenty (20) days delinquent in any payment obligation which is not disputed by such counterparty; and (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor the other party(ies) thereto shall be in breach, violation or default under any of the Argentina Contracts in any material respect. For the avoidance of doubt, any adverse changes to the Company’s ability to convert and repatriate payments received in Argentinian Pesos under the Argentina Contracts to US Dollars will not constitute an amendment, modification, termination or other change to the Argentina Contracts for purposes of this Section 8.2(g).”

13. Survival of Sellers Argentina Shortfall Obligation. A new Section 10.1(e) shall be added to the Acquisition Agreement as follows:

(e) The obligations of Sellers set forth in Sections 10.4 shall survive the Closing and expire upon the Argentina Termination Date. The term “Argentina Termination Date” means the earlier to occur of:

(i) April 30, 2022;

 

8


(ii) the date on which the Argentina Termination Condition has occurred as confirmed by Purchaser by notice delivered to the Seller Representative; and

(iii) the date upon which the sum of the following amounts equals or exceeds $110,000,000:

(A) the aggregate amount of US Dollars resulting from the conversion and repatriation of Restricted Pesos on or prior to such date in accordance with this Agreement; plus

(B) the aggregate amount of (x) payments actually made by the Minority Shareholders, collectively, in respect of Shortfalls or BCU USD Wires pursuant to Schedule 10.4; and (y) the aggregate amount applied to reduce Adjusted Minority Shareholders’ Aggregate Shortfall Amounts pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof (i.e., in respect of Unapplied Accrued Argentina Holdback Dividends), in each case on or prior to such date; plus

(C) the RP Common Shares Value of the Argentina Holdback Shares actually forfeited by such Minority Shareholder out of the Argentina Holdback pursuant to Section 1(b)(ii)(A) of Schedule 10.4, or purchased by the Fairfax Parties pursuant to Section 1(b)(ii)(B) of Schedule 10.4, in each case on or prior to such date; plus

(D) the aggregate amount of payments made by the Fairfax Parties pursuant to Section 1(b)(i) of Schedule 10.4 and Section 3 of Schedule 10.4.

14. Sellers’ Argentina Shortfall Obligation. A new Section 10.4 shall be added to the Acquisition Agreement as follows (and all cross-references to Sections of Article X following Section 10.4 shall be updated so as to continue to refer to the proper section):

Section 10.4 Sellers’ Argentina Shortfall Obligation. From and after the Closing, if there is a Shortfall in any Quarter (or portion thereof), Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification from Sellers for such Shortfall solely on the terms and subject to the conditions of Schedule 10.4.

15. Limitations on Liability. The first sentence of Section 10.5(a) of the Acquisition Agreement (which will be re-numbered as Section 10.6(a) in accordance with Paragraph 14 of this Amendment) shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any right or remedy available under any Law, the aggregate Liability of:

(i) any Seller (other than the Fairfax Parties) under this Article X, collectively, will not exceed an amount equal to the product of (A) the Deemed Purchaser Common Shares Value multiplied by (B)(1) the number of Final Purchaser Common Shares actually received by such Minority Shareholder plus (2) the portion of the Argentina Holdback Amount allocable to such Seller based upon its MS Percentage Interest plus (3) the portion of the Aggregate Holdback Amount allocable to such Seller based upon its Percentage Interest; and

 

9


(ii) the Fairfax Parties under this Article X, collectively, will not exceed an amount equal to the product of (A) the Deemed Purchaser Common Shares Value multiplied by (B)(1) the number of Final Purchaser Common Shares actually received by the Fairfax Parties plus (2) the portion of the Aggregate Holdback Amount allocable to the Fairfax Parties based upon their collective Percentage Interest.”

16. Sellers’ Argentina Reimbursement Mechanics. A new Section 10.6(i) shall be added to the Acquisition Agreement as follows:

(i) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the satisfaction of Sellers’ obligations arising pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be administered in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 10.4 to this Agreement.

17. Argentina Indemnity Cap. A new Section 10.6(j) shall be added to the Acquisition Agreement as follows:

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,

(i) the Minority Shareholders shall have no Liability pursuant to Section 10.4 except (x) from and to the extent of the Argentina Holdback and (y) if elected by such Minority Shareholder in accordance with Section 1(c) or 3(c) of Schedule 10.4, to pay for such Minority Shareholder’s Percentage Interest of Shortfalls or BCU USD Wires, respectively, that such Minority Shareholder has elected to pay in cash; provided, further, that the maximum aggregate liability of each Minority Shareholder pursuant to Section 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 (calculated as the sum of any payments actually made by such Minority Shareholder in respect of Shortfalls or BCU USD Wires plus the RP Common Shares Value of the Argentina Holdback Shares actually forfeited by such Minority Shareholder out of the Argentina Holdback plus such Minority Shareholder’s MS Percentage Interest of amounts applied to reduce Adjusted Minority Shareholders’ Aggregate Shortfall Amounts pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof) shall not exceed such Minority Shareholder’s Percentage Interest of One Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($110,000,000); and

(ii) the aggregate Liability of the Fairfax Parties under Sections 10.4 and Schedule 10.4 shall not exceed an amount equal to (A) One Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($110,000,000) less (B) the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of payments actually made by the Minority Shareholders, collectively, in respect of Shortfalls or BCU USD Wires pursuant to Schedule 10.4, (y) the RP Common Shares Value of the Argentina Holdback Shares actually forfeited by such Minority Shareholder out of the Argentina Holdback pursuant to Section 1(b)(ii)(A) of Schedule 10.4 and (z) amounts applied to reduce Adjusted Minority Shareholders’ Aggregate Shortfall Amounts pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof.

18. Miscellaneous Modifications to Percentage Interest Provisions. References to the terms “Seller” and “Seller’s Percentage Interest” (or “their respective Percentage Interest” or similar connotation) shall be amended to be references to the terms “Shareholder” and “Shareholder’s Percentage Interest” (or similar connotation) in the following provisions:

a. The definition of “Post-Closing Statement Components.”

b. Section 2.4(d)(i) and the first sentence of Section 2.4(d)(ii).

c. Section 2.4(e)(iii) and the first and second sentences of Section 2.4(e)(iv).

10


Additionally, the last sentence of Section 6.19(b) shall be deleted.

19. Waiver of Argentina Repatriation Condition. Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the condition to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement set forth in Section 8.2(f) of the Acquisition Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, any representations or covenants relating to the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to convert and repatriate payments received in Argentinian Pesos following Closing under the Argentina Contracts is hereby waived by Purchaser, and any condition to the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement relating to the foregoing (solely to the extent of the foregoing) is hereby waived.

20. Effect of Stock Splits, Etc. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Purchaser Common Shares, the amount of shares in the Holdback and the Argentina Holdback, and/or any price of the Purchaser Common Shares specified herein to the extent relevant to the number of shares to be released or forfeited from the Holdback or the Argentina Holdback under Article X, shall be subject to appropriate adjustment.

21. Continuity of Terms. Except as expressly amended hereby, all the other terms and provisions of the Acquisition Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

22. Effective Date. This Amendment and all amendments, modifications, restatements and supplements set forth herein shall be made effective as of February __, 2020.

23. Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Representative demonstrates to Purchaser’s satisfaction (in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion) that (i)(A) the APR Argentina can convert and repatriate payments received in Argentinian Pesos under the Turbine Contracts to a US Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such payment by APR Argentina; and (B) in a manner that results in receipt in such US Account of an amount of US Dollars without a discount to the amount of the payment translated from Argentinian Pesos into US Dollars using the Central Bank Rate as of the date of such conversion and repatriation to such US Account, less ordinary bank fees; and (ii) such manner of repatriation is consistent and sustainable in compliance with all applicable Laws, then this Amendment (other than the provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 18 and 19 hereof) shall be terminated pursuant to a written confirmation of termination executed and delivered by Purchaser and the Seller Representative and shall be of no further force or effect (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Shareholders shall have no obligation in respect of any Shortfall from and after the Closing Date and there shall be no Argentina Holdback).

24. Amendments. This Amendment may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by the Company, Purchaser and the Seller Representative. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

25. Governing Law. Sections 12.12, 12.13 and, 12.14 of the Acquisition Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment, mutatis mutandis.

26. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
