(g) For purposes of calculating the Acquisition Cost, the following procedures shall apply:

(i) Not less than two (2) business days before the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Parent a statement (the “Initial Cash Statement”) showing the amount of Cash on Hand at the end of business on the fifth business day before the Closing Date (the “Cash Measurement Date”) stating the Cash on Hand as of the Cash Measurement Date minus (i) $5.5 million of cash, (ii) an additional initial amount of $550,000 of cash (with regard to (i) and (ii), in each case excluding cash equivalents but including foreign currencies, which foreign currencies shall be measured in dollars and calculated using exchange rates as set forth by Banco de Mexico on the Diario Oficial de la Federacion two business days before the Closing Date), and (iii) an amount equal to the Accrued Taxes (the result of such calculation, the “Initial Cash on Hand”) and any work papers and other documents and information used by the Company in preparing the Initial Cash Statement. Unless the Company, the Parent and the Shareholder Representative object, each in their sole discretion, the Initial Cash on Hand set forth in the Initial Cash Statement will be used to calculate the Cash on Hand and the Acquisition Cost, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 4.3(v) below.

(ii) Not more than five (5) business days after the Closing Date, the Surviving Entity shall prepare and deliver to the Parent and the Shareholder Representative a statement of cash balance (the “Closing Cash Statement”) showing the amount of Cash on Hand at the end of business on the Closing Date minus (i) $5.5 million of cash (excluding cash equivalents but including foreign currencies, which foreign currencies shall be measured in dollars and calculated using exchange rates as set forth by Banco de Mexico on the Diario Oficial de la Federacion two business days before the Closing Date), and (ii) an amount equal to the Accrued Taxes (the result of such calculation, the “Closing Cash on Hand”) and any work papers and other documents and information used by the Surviving Entity in preparing the Closing Cash Statement.

(iv) If the Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, duly gives the Shareholder Representative or the Parent, as the case may be, such notice of objection, and if the Shareholder Representative and the Parent fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Closing Cash Statement within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Shareholder Representative or the Parent, as the case may be, of the objection notice by the Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, the Shareholder Representative and the Parent shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to KPMG LLP or such other nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as the parties to this Agreement mutually agree (the “Independent Accountants”).

Within five (5) days of

the determination of the Closing Cash on Hand pursuant to Section 4.3 (iii) or (iv) above, as the case may be: (a) if the Adjustment Amount is positive, the Escrow Agent shall pay the Adjustment Amount to the Parent from the Indemnity Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Parent, and such payment shall be treated as a reduction of the LAMS Shareholder Consideration and the DolEx Class B Purchase Price or (b) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, the Parent shall pay the Adjustment Amount (multiplied by the LAMS Percentage and the DolEx Class B Percentage, respectively) to the Shareholders and to the DolEx Class B Shareholders, as additional LAMS Shareholder Consideration and DolEx Class B Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Shareholder Representative.

9.5. Performance of Agreements and Covenants. Each and all of the agreements and covenants of the Parent and Mergersub to be performed and complied with pursuant to this Agreement and the Company Ancillary Agreements prior to the Effective Time shall have been duly performed and complied with in all material respects.

(a) Tax Indemnification. The Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders shall severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Parent Group Member from and against any Liability, as well as Losses or Expenses arising therefrom, for (i) any unpaid Taxes of the Company and each Subsidiary with respect to Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) any unpaid Taxes of the Company and each Subsidiary with respect to any Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) to the extent allocable (as determined in Section 10.1(b)) to the portion of such period ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and (iii) any breach in this Agreement of any covenant, representation or warranty relating to Taxes.

For purposes of Section 10.1(a), unpaid Tax for the period from January 1, 2003 through the Closing Date shall be the Tax with respect to such period less the amount of estimated Taxes paid by the Company prior to the Closing Date with respect to such period and less the Accrued Taxes for such period, reflected on a certificate duly executed by the President or Chairman of the Company pursuant to Section 4.6(h). Parent shall refund to the Shareholders and to Pilscomb Properties LLC, on behalf of the DolEx Class B Shareholders, their proportionate amount by which the estimated Taxes paid by the Company with respect to such period and the Accrued Taxes for such period, reflected on an executed certificate pursuant to Section 4.6(h), exceed the amount of Taxes owed to the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such period.

Each Parent Group Member shall severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Shareholder Group Member and the DolEx Class B Shareholders from and against any Liability, as well as Losses or Expenses arising therefrom, for (i) the Taxable periods that begin after the Closing Date, (ii) the portion of any Tax attributable to the Straddle Period to the extent allocable to the period commencing after the Closing Date as set forth in Section 10.1(b), and (iii) any Tax periods that end on or before the Closing Date including the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date only if such Liability is attributable to any election made by the Parent Group, Company or Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to any election under Section 338 of the Code) after the Closing Date.

If Parent intends to file an amended Tax Return for Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries for a Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date and if this filing would create a Tax Indemnification obligation for Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders pursuant to Section 10.1(a), Parent shall submit to the Shareholder Representative copies of the portion of such amended Tax Return that would create such Tax Indemnification obligation for its review and comments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such amended Tax Return is intended to be filed, the date of which will be disclosed to the Shareholder Representative. Parent shall consider such comments in good faith. Nonetheless, if Parent does not agree with or accept any of the written comments provided by the Shareholder Representative or if

Shareholder Representative does not deliver its written comments to Parent within 15 days of Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the amended Tax Return, the Parent may still file such amended Tax Return as originally submitted to the Shareholder Representative.

(b) Straddle Period Tax Allocation. For purposes of Section 10.1(a), in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than income taxes and Taxes measured by capital, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period and (ii) in the case of any income taxes or any Tax based on or measured by capital, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.

(c) Taxes of Other Persons. The Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders shall severally indemnify each Parent Group Member from and against the entirety of any and all Tax liability, as well as Losses or Expenses arising therefrom, imposed on the Company, the Subsidiaries, or a Parent Group Member, to the extent allocable to a Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date or during the Pre-Closing Tax Period and which is resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any Losses or Expenses of any Person other than the Company or its Subsidiaries (i) as a transferee or successor, (ii) by contract, (iii) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any comparable provision of foreign, state or local law) or (iv) otherwise.

(d) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax Sharing Agreements or similar agreements (other than this Agreement) with respect to or involving the Company or any Subsidiary shall be terminated as of or before the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be bound thereby or have any Losses or Expenses thereunder for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year) or have any obligation (including Tax obligations) to make any payment thereby to any party after the Closing Date.

(a) Tax Periods Ending on or before December 31, 2002, But Filed After the Date Hereof. The Company, or with respect to those Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date, the Shareholder Representative, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and each Subsidiary for periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2002, but which are filed after the date hereof. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with prior practice, except as required by a change in applicable Tax law. The Company or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, shall submit to Parent copies of such Tax Returns for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed. If Parent does not give its approval in a timely manner, the Company or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, can file or arrange to file such Tax Returns.

(b) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date, But Filed After Closing Date. Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns, with the exception of Tax Returns set forth in Section 10.2(a), for the Company and each Subsidiary for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, but which are filed after the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with prior practice, except as required by a change in applicable Tax law. Parent shall submit to the Shareholder Representative copies of such Tax Returns for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed. If the Shareholder Representative does not give its approval in a timely manner, Parent can file or arrange to file such Tax Returns. Parent shall be responsible for the timely payment of all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns, subject, however, to the obligation of the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders to indemnify the Parent Group Member to the extent required under Section 10.1, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10.9(d)(iii) and 10.9(e)(iii) below.

(c) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company and each Subsidiary for any Straddle Period. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practice, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax law. Parent shall submit to the Shareholder Representative copies of such Tax Returns for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such Tax Return is required to be filed. If Shareholder Representative does not give its approval in a timely manner, Parent can file or arrange to file such Tax Returns. Parent shall be responsible for the timely payment of all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns, subject, however, to the obligation of the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders to indemnify Parent to the extent required under Section 10.1, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10.9(d)(iii) and 10.9(e)(iii) below.

(d) Contests. If a notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim (a “Tax Contest”) shall be delivered, sent, commenced, or initiated to, by or against a Parent Group Member, the Company or any Subsidiary by any taxing authority with respect to Taxes that results in or may result in Tax Losses or Expenses for which indemnification may be claimed against Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders under this Agreement, Parent shall promptly notify the Shareholder Representative in writing of such Tax Contest; provided that the failure to so notify the Shareholder Representative shall not relieve Shareholders or the DolEx Class B Shareholders of their indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure prejudices the Shareholders or the DolEx Class B Shareholders defense of the Tax Contest. The Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders shall have the right to represent the Company and each Subsidiary’s interests and to employ counsel of their choice at their expense with respect to any such Tax Contest for which they are entirely liable; provided that the Shareholder Representative shall immediately notify Parent of the decision to take control of such Tax Contest; and Parent shall cause the Company and each Subsidiary to execute any powers of attorney or other documents or forms necessary in order to allow the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders to control such Tax Contest and to settle any such Tax Contest. In the case of any such Tax Contest, Parent shall also be entitled to participate at its own expense in such Tax Contest. In the case of any Tax Contest relating to any Tax for any Straddle Period, or with respect to any Tax Contest in which the Shareholders

or the DolEx Class B Shareholders do not have the right to represent the Company or a Subsidiary’s interest pursuant to this Section 10.2(d), Parent, the Shareholders, and the DolEx Class B Shareholders shall each be entitled to participate at their own expense in such Tax Contest to the extent it relates to a Tax for which such party bears Losses or Expenses pursuant to Section 10.1. No party may settle or otherwise dispose of any Tax Contest in any manner without the consent and approval of the other party, which consent and approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Shareholders or the DolEx Class B Shareholders do not take control of a Tax Contest that they have the right to control hereunder, Parent shall keep the Shareholder Representative reasonably informed as to the progress of such Tax Contest and shall not enter into any settlement or other disposition of such Tax Contest prior to receiving the written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In no event, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall Parent, the Company or each Subsidiary grant an extension of any applicable statute of limitations in respect of any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period.

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Parent, the Company, each Subsidiary of the Company, IFMX, and CISA shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 10.2 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information (with supporting details) which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Return filing, audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent, Company, each Subsidiary of the Company, IFMX, and CISA agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and each Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or any of the Shareholders or the DolEx Class B Shareholders any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records. Notwithstanding any of the above, in connection with the filing of the Tax Returns for the Company and each Subsidiary pursuant to Section 10.2(b) and Section 10.2(c), IFMX and CISA each agree to provide the information necessary to file such Tax Returns at least four months prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns.

(f) Further Assistance. Parent, the Shareholders, and the DolEx Class B Shareholders further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). Parent, the Shareholders, and the DolEx Class B Shareholders further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code (or any similar provisions of any applicable tax law).

10.3. Distribution or Sale of CISA and IFMX. Any Taxes and Losses arising therefrom resulting from the transfer of all of the Company’s stock ownership interest in CISA and IFMX to the Shareholders prior to the Closing Date or, alternatively, any Taxes, Losses, and Expenses arising therefrom resulting from the sale of all of the Company’s stock ownership interest in CISA and IFMX and the distribution of the sale proceeds to the Shareholders prior to the Closing Date will each be Taxes treated as Pre-Closing Taxes pursuant to Section 10.1 for which Shareholders have an obligation to reimburse the Parent at such time as the applicable Tax Return is filed with the appropriate taxing authority, pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 10.2. In connection with the transfer of all of the Company’s stock ownership interests in CISA and IFMX to the Shareholders, for purpose of calculating gain on the distribution of IFMX and CISA, the fair market value of the stock interest of IFMX and CISA shall be the amount specified in an appraisal prepared by CIBZ Valuation, Inc., an independent third party appraiser mutually acceptable to Parent and Shareholders. In connection with the sale of all of the Company’s stock ownership interest in CISA and IFMX to an unrelated third party, for purpose of calculating gain, the amount of the respective sale proceeds received by Company shall be deemed to be at fair market value. In connection with the sale of all of the Company’s stock ownership interest in CISA and IFMX to a third party that is a related party, for purpose of calculating gain, the fair market value of the stock interests of CISA and IFMX shall be the amount specified in an appraisal prepared by CIBZ Valuation, Inc. The adjusted tax basis of the stock interest of IFMX for both of the above transaction alternatives shall be calculated by KPMG LLP. The adjusted tax basis of the stock interest of CISA for both of the above transaction alternatives shall be calculated by KPMG LLP and shall be determined for U.S. tax purposes as well as Mexican tax purposes. All such appraisals and adjusted tax bases calculations shall be promptly provided to the Parent upon completion.

10.4. Deconsolidation. The Shareholders shall be liable for all Taxes and Losses of the Company and each Subsidiary attributable to deconsolidating adjustments (including without limitation any deferred income triggered into income by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13 and any excess loss accounts taken into income under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-19) for all periods through the Closing Date, including adjustments caused by the distribution by the Company of the stock of IFMX and CISA prior to the Closing Date.

10.5. Sales and Transfer Taxes. All sales, use and other transfer taxes (including all share transfer taxes, if any) incurred in connection with this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by the party to whom such transfer taxes are assessed under applicable law.

10.6. Indemnification of Parent Group Members for CISA and IFMX. The Shareholders shall severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Parent Group Member from and against any Losses or Expenses incurred by such Parent Group Member associated with or arising from the business or operations of CISA and IFMX.

(ii) any breach, or (in the case of any third-party claim) alleged material breach, of any warranty or the inaccuracy, or (in the case of any third-party claim) alleged inaccuracy, of any representation of Parent or the Surviving Entity contained in this Agreement.

(b) The indemnification provided for in this Section 10.8 shall terminate three years after the Effective Date (and no claims shall be made by any Shareholder Group Member under this Section 10.8 thereafter), except that the indemnification obligation of Parent and the Surviving Entity shall continue as to any Loss or Expense of which any Shareholder Group Member has notified Parent and the Surviving Entity in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.10 or prior to the date such indemnification obligation would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 10.8, as to which the indemnification obligation of Parent and the Surviving Entity shall continue until the Loss or Expense of Parent and the Surviving Entity shall have been determined pursuant to this Article X, and Parent or the Surviving Entity shall have reimbursed all Shareholder Group Members for the full amount of such Loss and Expense for which Parent and the Surviving Entity are responsible in accordance with this Article X.

(a) Except for the indemnification obligations described in Section 10.9(d), any obligations arising pursuant to Section 4.3(g) or under the indemnification provided to the Parent Group Members under this Article X shall be satisfied solely from an indemnity fund comprised of (y) the Escrow Amount – LAMS Cash Portion, the LAMS Escrow Note (or the proceeds thereof, once paid), the Escrow Amount – DolEx Class B Cash Portion, and the DolEx Class B Escrow Note (or the proceeds thereof, once paid), and (z) any amounts subsequently contributed pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Earnout Agreement, which shall collectively be referred to as the “Indemnity Fund” and which shall have an aggregate balance as of the Closing Date of $38 million (not including those additional amounts to be contributed pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Earnout Agreement).

(b) The Indemnity Fund shall be reduced or terminate for each party thereto according to Schedule A; it being noted that for the Advent Shareholders (as identified on Schedule A) any remaining amounts held in the Indemnity Fund shall be released and distributed eighteen months from the Closing Date (with regard to 50% of the original amount of the Indemnity Fund attributable to the Advent Shareholders, net of claims), thirty months from the Closing Date (with regard to 25% of the original amount of the Indemnity Fund attributable to the Advent Shareholders, net of claims) and the earlier of thirty-six months from the Closing Date or December 31, 2006 (with regard to 25% of the original amount of the Indemnity Fund attributable to the Advent Shareholders, net of claims), all as set forth in detail on Schedule A. No claims shall be made by any Parent Group Member against the Indemnity Fund after such termination, except that payment obligations from the Indemnity Fund shall continue as to any Loss or Expense of which any Parent Group Member has notified the Shareholder Representative in accordance with the requirements of this Article X on or prior to the date the Indemnity Fund would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 10.9(b), as to which the indemnification obligation shall continue until the indemnification Loss or Expense shall have been determined pursuant to this Article X, and the Parent Group Members shall have been indemnified for the full amount of such Loss and Expense in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this Article X.

(c) The Indemnity Fund shall not be available under this Article X for (i) any Losses or Expenses of Parent Group Members unless the aggregate of all Losses and Expenses for which the Indemnity Fund would be available but for this Section 10.9(c) exceeds One-Hundred-Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Aggregate Basket Amount”), and (ii) any particular Loss or associated Expense for which the Indemnity Fund would be available but for this Section 10.9(c) unless such Loss and associated Expenses exceeds $10,000 (the “Claim Threshold”). When the aggregate amount of all Losses and Expenses for which the Indemnity Fund is available exceeds the Aggregate Basket Amount, Parent may recover for all such Losses or Expenses. For purposes of calculating the Claim Threshold, all Losses or Expenses arising from events involving the same or substantially similar facts or circumstances shall be aggregated. The Claim Threshold shall not apply to claims arising or relating to any indemnification obligation arising as a result of a breach of the representations, warranties, or covenants contained in Sections 5.13(d), (e) and 7.10.

(d) Claims made by any Parent Group Member for Losses and Expenses resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the following matters shall not be limited solely to payment from the Indemnity Fund, but shall instead be subject to the following limitations:

(i) with respect to the Shareholders only, any claim made regarding CISA or IFMX, or the sale, transfer, or distribution of the Company’s ownership of CISA or IFMX, may be made by a Parent Group Member on or before December 31, 2006, and any payments made by any Shareholder relating thereto shall be limited to such Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of the Base Amount plus such Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of any amount deposited into the Indemnity Fund pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Earnout Agreement, less all amounts paid to a Parent Group Member by such Shareholder or from such Shareholder’s Individual Escrow Account pursuant to this Article X;

(ii) any claim made regarding fraud or the organization and capitalization of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, may be made by a Parent Group Member on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date and any payments made by any Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder relating thereto shall be limited to such Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of the Base Amount plus such Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of any amount deposited into the Indemnity Fund pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Earnout Agreement, less all amounts paid to a Parent Group Member by such Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder or from such Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s Individual Escrow Account pursuant to this Article X; and

(iii) any claims made regarding the Tax obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.6 and the covenants contained in Article VII and Sections 10.1 through 10.5, but excluding any and all such claims relating to CISA or IFMX, or the sale, transfer or distribution of the Company’s ownership thereof which shall be covered by Section 10.9(d)(i) above, may be made by a Parent Group Member on or before the earlier of December 31, 2006, or the applicable statute of limitations for such Tax obligations and any payments made by any Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder relating thereto shall be limited to such Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of an amount equal to $38 million plus such Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of any amount deposited into the Indemnity Fund pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Earnout Agreement, less all amounts paid to a Parent Group Member from such Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s Individual Escrow Account pursuant to this Article X or directly from such Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder pursuant to Sections 10.9(e)(iii)(y) and (z).

(e) The obligations of the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders under Section 10.9(d) shall be satisfied as follows:

(i) With respect to all obligations arising under the indemnification provided to the Parent Group Members under Section 10.9(d)(i), Parent may elect, in its sole

discretion, to seek indemnification from (i) that portion of the Indemnity Fund allocable to the Shareholders, or (ii) the Shareholders in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 10.9(d)(i).

(ii) With respect to all obligations arising under the indemnification provided to the Parent Group Members under Section 10.9(d)(ii), Parent may elect, in its sole discretion, to seek indemnification from (i) the Indemnity Fund, or (ii) the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 10.9(d)(ii).

(iii) With respect to all obligations arising under the indemnification provided to the Parent Group Members under Section 10.9(d)(iii), and in accordance with the limitations contained therein:

(x) For the first eighteen months following the Closing Date, Parent may only pursue payment for the claim from the Indemnity Fund;

(y) For the period beginning on the first day of the nineteenth month following the Closing Date through the thirtieth month following the Closing Date, Parent may elect to pursue payment for the claim from the Indemnity Fund or the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders, provided that if such claim is equal to or less than 5% of the remaining undistributed balance of the Indemnity Fund, Parent may only pursue payment for the claim from the Indemnity Fund; and

(z) For the period beginning on the first day of the thirty-first month following the Closing Date through December 31, 2006, Parent may only pursue payment for the claim from the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders.

(iv) If Parent makes an election in any Claim Notice to pursue indemnification from the Shareholders and DolEx Class B Shareholders, and certain Shareholders or DolEx Class B Shareholders do not satisfy their payment obligations, Parent shall have the right to pursue payment of the obligation from the Indemnity Fund by notice to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholder Representative. Such Claim Notice shall indicate the exact name of those Shareholders or DolEx Class B Shareholders, as applicable, whose Individual Escrow Accounts (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) shall be debited for payment of the obligation, and the exact amount for each account. In no instance shall Parent be allowed to pursue payment pursuant to this provision from the Individual Escrow Account of a Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder who has otherwise paid their pro-rata portion of such indemnity claim.

(v) Except for claims under Section 10.9(d)(i), in the event that the Parent elects to pursue indemnification from the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders for any claim, such claim must be made against each Shareholder and DolEx Class B Shareholder, as the case may be, pro rata in accordance with the pro rata Purchase Price received by such Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder. In the event that the Parent elects to pursue indemnification from the Shareholders under Section 10.9(d)(i), such claim must be made against each Shareholder in the same proportion as such Shareholder’s portion of the Purchase Price received by all Shareholders.

(vi) Except as provided in Section 10.9(e)(iv) above, in the event that the Parent elects to pursue indemnification from the Indemnity Fund for any claim, such claim must be made against each Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s Individual Escrow Account pro rata in accordance with the pro rata Purchase Price received by such Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder.

(f) If, at the time any monies are to be released to the Shareholders or the DolEx Class B Shareholders from the Indemnity Fund, any Claim Notice making a claim against the Indemnity Fund given by a Parent Group Member or Members remains unresolved, the Escrow Agent shall reduce the amount of such monies to be so released by the amount of the claimed Loss and Expense of the Parent Group Members reflected in all such unresolved Claim Notices, and shall thereafter reimburse such Parent Group Members out of the Indemnity Fund for the full amount of such Loss and Expense to which the Parent Group Members are determined to be entitled in accordance with this Article X up to the amount remaining in the Indemnity Fund. If it is finally determined that the Parent Group Members were not entitled to the full amount of the indemnification reflected in such Claim Notices, the Escrow Agent shall promptly thereafter release the appropriate portion of the Indemnity Fund that had been withheld pursuant to such Claim Notices in accordance with terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(g) All funds or other property received by the Escrow Agent shall be retained by it as part of the Indemnity Fund. The Indemnity Fund shall be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnity Fund shall be available to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Parent Group Members from and against any Loss or Expense indemnifiable under this Article X in the manner provided in the Escrow Agreement. All fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid from the Indemnity Fund.

(h) Except as may be provided under Sections 10.9(d)(i) and 10.9(d)(ii), in no circumstances will any Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s aggregate responsibility to indemnify the Parent Group Members pursuant to this Agreement exceed such Shareholder’s or DolEx Class B Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Price received by such Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder. To the extent the consideration received by a Shareholder or a DolEx Class B Shareholder is not in cash, any obligation to pay an indemnity claim hereunder may discharged by assigning a proportionate interest in the non-cash consideration received by such Shareholder.

(a) If any Parent Group Member or any Shareholder Group Member believes that it has suffered or incurred any Loss or incurred any Expense, such Parent Group Member or Shareholder Group Member, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Person”), shall so notify (the “Claim Notice”) the Shareholder Representative or Parent, as the case may be, promptly in writing describing such Loss or Expense, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Loss or Expense, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss or Expense shall have occurred, and shall also indicate, if applicable, whether such claim is payable from the Indemnity Fund, and if so from which Individual Escrow Accounts thereof (as defined in the

Escrow Agreement), or by the Parent, the Shareholders or the DolEx Class B Shareholders. The omission by the Indemnified Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve any indemnification obligation under this Article X except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, and Parent or the holders of Company Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, as the case may be, are damaged as a result of such failure to give notice. If any action at law or suit in equity is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Person intends to claim any liability or expense as a Loss or Expense under this Article X, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, of such action or suit as specified in this Section 10.10. The Indemnified Person shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any Loss or Expense for which indemnification is sought hereunder.

(b) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnified Person has delivered any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as applicable, shall notify the other party in writing whether or not the claim or the amount thereof, is disputed. If such notice states that the claim and the amount are not disputed, or if the Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as applicable, fails to deliver any such notice within the required time period, the claim shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Article X, and shall be immediately forwarded to the Escrow Agent, the Parent, the Shareholders and/or the DolEx Class B Shareholders, as applicable, for payment, as set forth in the Claim Notice. If a claim or the amount thereof is disputed, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Person shall be entitled under this Article X shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, on the other hand; (ii) by a final unappealable judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Person and Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be, shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Person shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Loss and Expense suffered by it.

10.11. Third Person Claims. In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim, action or legal proceeding by a third Person, the Indemnified Persons shall give such notice thereof to Parent or the Shareholder Representative, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Person”) as soon as reasonably practicable after such Indemnified Person has actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that the omission by such Indemnified Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve any indemnification obligation under this Article X except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person is damaged as a result of such failure to give notice. At any time after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such third Person claim, action or legal proceeding. In any such case (a) the Indemnified Person shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Person in connection therewith; (b) the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to the Indemnified Person

for any Expenses of separate counsel for the Indemnified Person subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third Person claim, action or legal proceeding; and (c) the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and, at its own expense, to employ counsel, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person, it being understood that the Indemnifying Person will retain control of the defense. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of any third Person claim, action, or legal proceeding, the Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any third Person claim, action or legal proceeding without the Indemnifying Person’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of any such third Person claim, action or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Person may not settle, compromise or discharge any claim, action or legal proceeding that seeks injunctive or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person without the consent of the Indemnified Person. If the Indemnifying Person elects not to assume the defense of any third Person claim, action or legal proceeding, the Indemnified Person may assume the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing and such Indemnifying Person shall bear all expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Person, and may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim, action or legal proceeding.

10.12. After-Tax Basis; Adjustment to Acquisition Cost. Any indemnification payment under this Article X shall be made on an After-Tax Basis, and as among the Parent, the Shareholders, and the DolEx Class B Shareholders shall constitute an adjustment to the Acquisition Cost.

10.13. Exclusive Remedy. Except for fraud, remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law and injunctive and provisional relief, if the Closing occurs, this Article X shall be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement (including any covenant, obligation, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement) or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.1. Termination Rights. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(b) by any party if the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or before the latest to occur of (i) November 30, 2003, (ii) if the parties shall not have received all approvals and actions of or by the Governmental Bodies which are specified in Sections 8.3 and 9.3 and all other conditions for Closing have been satisfied or waived (other than those requiring the exchange of a certificate, opinion or other document, or taking of other action at Closing), then

such later date, not more than six months after November 30, 2003, as the Company may choose by providing written notice to Parent of such extension or extensions on a month-to-month basis, and (iii) such later date as may be mutually agreed to by all of the parties hereto;

(c) by Parent in the event of any breach by the Company, the Shareholders, the DolEx Class B Shareholders, or the Shareholder Representative of any of their agreements, representations or warranties contained herein (or, in the case of representations and warranties made solely as of the Closing Date, the inability to make such representation or warranty) so as to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and the failure of the Company, the Shareholders, the DolEx Class B Shareholders, or the Shareholder Representative to cure such breach within seven days after receipt of notice from Parent requesting that such breach be cured; or

(d) by the Company or the Shareholder Representative in the event of any breach by Parent or Mergersub of any of their respective agreements, representations or warranties contained herein so as to materially adversely affect the ability of the Parent and Mergersub to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the failure of Parent or Mergersub to cure such breach within seven days after receipt of notice from the Company or the Shareholder Representative requesting that such breach be cured.

11.2. Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 shall give notice of such termination to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

11.3. Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to this Article XI, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than Sections 12.2 and 11.4) shall be terminated without further liability of any party to the others; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for its willful breach of this Agreement.

11.4. Termination Fee. If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to 11.1(c), and within twelve months of such termination the Company shall enter into an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Transaction, upon consummation of such Acquisition Transaction the Company shall pay to the Parent a termination fee equal to 3% of the Base Amount.

12.1. Survival of Obligations. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein so long as there remains an indemnification obligation under Article X.

12.2. Confidential Nature of Information. Each party agrees that it will treat in confidence all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained

regarding the other parties during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), the investigation provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related documents, and, in the event the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be consummated, each party will return to the other parties all copies of nonpublic documents and materials which have been furnished in connection therewith. No other party shall use any confidential information in any manner whatsoever except solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed Merger; provided, however, that from and after the date hereof, Parent may use or disclose confidential information, with the prior review and approval of such disclosure by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Entity may use or disclose any confidential information included in the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date or otherwise reasonably related to the assets or business of the Company and the Subsidiaries. The obligation of each party to treat such documents, materials and other information in confidence shall not apply to any information which (i) is or becomes available to such party from a source other than another party to this Agreement, (ii) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such party or its agents, (iii) is required to be disclosed under applicable law or judicial process, but only to the extent it must be disclosed, or (iv) such party reasonably deems necessary to disclose to obtain any of the consents or approvals contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party hereto (and any employee, representative or other agent of the party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

12.3. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered when delivered personally (with written confirmation of receipt) or by facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt) or four days after being mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or one day after being sent by private overnight courier addressed as follows:

or to such other address as such party may indicate by a notice delivered to the other parties hereto.

(a) Except as expressly contemplated hereby, the rights of each party under this Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this Section 12.4 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.5. Access to Records After Effective Time. For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Shareholder Representative and his representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries for matters relating to regulatory, Tax or litigation issues or other matters agreed to by Parent. Such access shall be afforded upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours. The Company shall, prior to the disposition of any such books and records during such six-year period, give the Shareholder Representative a reasonable opportunity, at his or her expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as the Shareholder Representative may select.

12.6. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein and the documents delivered pursuant hereto on in connection herewith contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the parties hereto, and only to the extent permitted by Delaware Law.

12.7. Interpretation. Titles to articles and headings to sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. Except as expressly stated to the contrary herein, all dollar amounts in this Agreement refer to lawful money of the United States of America.

12.8. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

12.9. Fees and Expenses. From and after the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Parent and Mergersub shall be jointly and severally responsible for the costs of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and other financial, legal, accounting or other advisors to the Company, the DolEx Class B Shareholders, the Parent and Mergersub, and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other documents and instruments executed in connection with or contemplated by

this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, to the extent not paid prior to Closing, the “Merger Expenses”). Merger Expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, without limitation, be deemed to include the fees incurred by Wiggin & Dana LLP, Jackson Walker L.L.P., Katten Muchin Zavis Rosenman, Goodwin Proctor LLP, Bufete Gastelum, S.C., and Salvador Arroyo in connection with preparation of the opinions required by Sections 4.6(d), (o), (r) and (s). If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, each party to this Agreement shall be responsible for their own costs of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for any obligation arising pursuant to Section 11.4.

12.10. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

12.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of the other parties.

12.12. Governing Law. Regardless of any conflict of law or choice of law principles that might otherwise apply, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(a) The Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Shareholder Representative shall act as an agent of the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders and is entitled with such powers as are delegated under this Agreement, which shall include the power (i) to act as the attorney-in-fact for each Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder to execute the Escrow Agreement, the Earnout Agreement, and any Company Ancillary Agreement, (ii) to give and receive notices and communications on behalf of the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Earnout Agreement, any Stock Pledge Agreement, and any Company Ancillary Agreement, (iii) to waive provisions of any such agreements, (iv) to update the Schedules to this Agreement and provide same to Parent, (v) to authorize delivery to the Parent Group Members of the funds or other property pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in satisfaction of claims by Parent Group Members, (vi) to object to any Claim Notice, (vii) to conduct, control and cooperate with respect to the defense of the litigation described in Article X herein, (viii) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and (ix) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative for

the accomplishment of the foregoing and to otherwise act on behalf of the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders with respect to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Earnout Agreement, any Stock Pledge Agreement and any Company Ancillary Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, each of which the Shareholders and the DolEx Class B Shareholders have received, reviewed and approved in their execution form.

(b) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative in accordance with Section 12.13(a) shall constitute a decision of all Shareholders and all DolEx Class B Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Shareholder or DolEx Class B Shareholder, and Parent may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Shareholder and DolEx Class B Shareholder. Each Parent Group Member is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative.

(c) The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to the Shareholders or the DolEx Class B Shareholders for any act done or omitted as Shareholder Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the written advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

(d) Neither Parent nor any Parent Group Member shall be responsible or liable for any acts or omissions of the Shareholder Representative in such Shareholder Representative’s capacity as such.
