Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any written notice from any third party challenging the right of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to use any of the Company Intellectual Property as currently used by them, where such third party challenges, if successful, would result, individually or in the aggregate, in a potential liability in excess of $5,000,000.

(d) Neither the Company nor the Company Subsidiaries nor their respective predecessors in interest have released or permitted to be released in material violation of Environmental Laws any Hazardous Materials in the soil, subsurface, surface water or groundwater at, on, about or under any Company Property.

(d) The FEMSA Parties understand that the Heineken Exchange Shares, Heineken Holding Exchange Shares and the Allotted Shares are being offered and sold to them in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. securities laws and that the Heineken Parties are relying on the truth and accuracy of, and each FEMSA Party’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the FEMSA Parties to acquire the Heineken Exchange Shares, Heineken Holding Exchange Shares and the Allotted Shares.

4.22 No Other Representations and Warranties.

The Heineken Parties shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish FEMSA with all requested information concerning the Heineken Parties, their Affiliates, their respective businesses and other matters, in each case to the extent necessary and appropriate for the preparation of the FEMSA Information Statement and any supplement or amendment thereto.

Each Party acknowledges that its obligations to cause a shareholders meeting to be convened under this Section 6.14 shall not in any way be mitigated by a withdrawal or modification of the recommendation of its board of directors and/or supervisory board (as applicable) or any decision by its board of directors and/or supervisory board (as applicable) not to give such recommendation. A withdrawal or modification by any Party’s board of directors and/or supervisory board (as applicable) of its recommendation pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.15 or any decision by any Party’s board of directors and/or supervisory board (as applicable) not to give such recommendation pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.15 shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.14.

action if taking or omitting to take such action would lead to such a withdrawal or modification or any decision by its respective board of directors and/or supervisory board (as the case may be) not to give such recommendation or announce its intention to make a determination not to give or to withdraw or modify such recommendation except (i) in each case, to the extent that its respective directors have determined in good faith that such recommendation should not be given where to do so would be a breach of their fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Laws; or (ii) in each case, to the extent that its respective directors have determined in good faith that such recommendation should be withdrawn or modified where not to do so would be a breach of their fiduciary duties.

Disputed issues, if any, shall be referred to the Accounting Firm in the manner set forth in Section 6.17(c)(iii) above.

(i) Heineken shall not permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to take any action that reasonably could be expected to increase FEMSA’s responsibility for Taxes without FEMSA’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, except to the extent required by applicable Law.

(ii) Neither Heineken nor any Affiliate of the Heineken Parties shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Reference Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the prior written consent of FEMSA, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Tax Refunds and Tax Credits. Any Tax Refunds that are received by any of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, less any actual Tax cost suffered by the Company or Company Subsidiary attributable to such receipt, and any amounts of Tax Credits to which a Heineken Party or any of the Company or a Company Subsidiary becomes entitled, less any actual Tax cost suffered by a Heineken Party, the Company or a Company Subsidiary as a result of such entitlement, in each case that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Reference Date with respect to the Company or a Company Subsidiary, shall be for the account of FEMSA, and the relevant Heineken Party shall pay over to FEMSA (i) any such Tax Refund or any other financial instrument corresponding to such Tax Refund in whole or in part, after the deduction of any actual Tax Cost suffered by the Company or Company Subsidiary attributable to the receipt of such instrument, within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, and (ii) the amount of actual Tax savings realized with the use of a Tax Credit by such Heineken Party or the Company or Company Subsidiary at the time the Tax Return to which such Tax Credit relates is filed by such Heineken Party or the Company or Company Subsidiary; provided, however, that (x) FEMSA shall not have the right Tax Refunds or Tax Credits that are attributable to a carry-back of tax attributes applicable to operations, transactions or other activities occurring after the Reference Date and (y) Heineken will, and will cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, under FEMSA’s directions, use commercially reasonable efforts, as per instruction from FEMSA, to optimize the receipt of any Tax Refund or the entitlement to any Tax Credit that are to be paid to FEMSA under this Section 6.17(e), including through the offset against other Taxes due, when applicable. In determining the amount of Tax Refunds or Tax Credits to be paid to FEMSA, principles similar to those set forth in Section 9.3(a) shall be applied to reduce the applicable amount by any actual Tax cost suffered by the relevant Heineken Party, Company or Company Subsidiary upon receipt of such Tax Refund or as a result of becoming entitled to Tax Credits.

(f) Tax Contests. (i) FEMSA shall, at its sole option, control the conduct, at its sole expense, through its own counsel and with the cooperation of the Heineken Parties, of any claim (or any inquiry) for Taxes by any Governmental Entity (a “Tax Claim”) involving any asserted liability with respect or relating solely to any Tax period ending on or before the Reference Date for which FEMSA has responsibility under Section 6.17(a). If FEMSA assumes such defense, Heineken shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by FEMSA), at their own expense, it being understood that FEMSA shall control such defense, including the right to control all negotiations, settlements, compromises and appeals of any such Tax Claim, all of which shall be at the expense of FEMSA. In any event, if FEMSA fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Tax Claim within 20 days after receiving notice with respect to the Tax Claim, the Heineken Parties may assume such defense, and the fees and expenses of their attorneys will be covered by the indemnity provided for in Section 9.2(b). If FEMSA chooses to defend or prosecute a Tax Claim, Heineken shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation by Heineken shall include the retention and (upon FEMSA’s request and at FEMSA’s expense) the provision to FEMSA of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, the commencement of Proceedings with respect to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, provided that a material failure to provide such cooperation by Heineken, after notice of such failure to Heineken and a reasonable opportunity to respond to such notice, shall bar the Heineken Parties from any remedy with respect to such Tax Claim. FEMSA shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim and Heineken shall reasonably cooperate and shall cause the Company and each Company Subsidiary to reasonably cooperate; provided, however, that FEMSA shall not settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim in a manner that would adversely affect the Heineken Parties or any of the Company or a Company Subsidiary without the prior written consent of Heineken, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. FEMSA shall not extend the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Tax Return for any Tax period ending on or before the Reference Date without the prior written consent of Heineken, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) With respect to any Tax Claim for which FEMSA has responsibility under Section 6.17(a) that involves any Straddle Period, Heineken and FEMSA shall jointly control the conduct of any such Tax Claim through counsel of their own choosing and expense; provided, however, that neither Heineken nor FEMSA shall settle, compromise or concede such Tax Claim in a manner that would adversely affect the other Party without the prior written consent of such Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) With respect to any Tax Claim that relates solely to Taxes that are not the responsibility of FEMSA under Section 6.17(a), or Tax Claims as to which FEMSA has not exercised its option to control or jointly control such Tax Claim, the Heineken Parties shall not settle, compromise or concede any such Tax Claim in a manner that would adversely affect FEMSA without the prior written consent of FEMSA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(g) Indemnification Procedures. In order for the Heineken Parties to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 9.2(b), Heineken shall deliver written notice thereof to FEMSA describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder within 10 days of any Heineken Party becoming aware of the potential for such claim (unless such notification refers to a Brazilian Tax foreclosure or any Proceedings in Brazil in which there is an opportunity to present a motion of clarification, in which cases the written notification shall be provided within 2 days), the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known), copies of all notices and documents (including court or similar papers, as applicable), and such other information with respect thereto as FEMSA may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release FEMSA from any of its obligations under Section 9.2(b) except and only to the extent, if any, that FEMSA is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(a) (i) Until FEMSA ceases to have the right to have a director in the Heineken Holding board of directors or the Heineken supervisory board and for a period of two (2) years from the expiration of all such rights, FEMSA shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries (A) to not directly or indirectly engage in the Heineken Territory in the production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, marketing and sale of beer, non alcoholic beer and beverages derived from beer and the beer brewing and fermentation process, malted beverages, wort based beverages and, provided they contain alcohol, cider and cider based beverages (the “Heineken Products”) and (B) to use their respective reasonable efforts to cause any Person which is not a Subsidiary and in which any of them holds a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least twenty percent (20%) not to take any of the actions set forth in clause (A) above; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any purchase by FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries of a small brewer license or equivalent permit in the United States for use solely in connection with FEMSA’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ convenience store retail operations in the United States, as long as the purchased license does not allow for the production of more than sixty thousand (60,000) barrels of beer annually; provided that such beer shall not be produced under license from third parties and provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the sale, marketing and distribution of Heineken Products in stores owned or operated by FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i) the Parties agree that, notwithstanding Section 6.18 (a), should FEMSA identify an Integrated Competitor in a territory in which FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries may, from time to time, carry on business (other than Mexico, where paragraph 6.18(c) shall apply), and FEMSA makes a reasonable determination that it is necessary to offer Heineken Products as part of FEMSA’s or any of its Subsidiaries’

portfolio of products in that territory in order to compete effectively with such Integrated Competitor within that territory, they will explore and discuss the possibility of FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries distributing and selling Heineken Products provided that, if the Parties cannot reach agreement on such matters, FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries shall be free to produce, market, sell and distribute Heineken Products in such territory and, if FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries exercises such a right, Heineken shall be free to produce, market, sell and/or distribute Non Alcoholic Beverages in such territory;

(ii) the Parties agree that notwithstanding Section 6.18 (a) FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries shall be free to acquire any business which comprises both an Alcoholic Beverages Business and a Non Alcoholic Beverages Business provided that the Alcoholic Beverages Business comprises less than 49% of such business (calculated on a prior year net sales basis), and should FEMSA notify Heineken of its present intention, or the present intention of a FEMSA Subsidiary, to acquire such business, Heineken shall not make any offer to acquire the same until FEMSA has notified Heineken that neither FEMSA nor its Subsidiaries intend to purchase such business, provided that if FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries elects to acquire such business, Heineken shall have a Call Option over such Alcoholic Beverages Business at Fair Market Value.

(iii) if FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries does not exercise its right referred to in 6.18(b)(ii) above, the Parties agree to explore and discuss the possibility of a joint acquisition of the business in question (including without limitation whereby FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries acquires the Non Alcoholic Beverages Business and Heineken acquires the Alcoholic Beverages Business or the Parties jointly acquire or operate the businesses). If the Parties cannot reach agreement within 2 months, then Heineken shall be free to acquire the business.

(c) In Mexico the Parties agree that, notwithstanding Section 6.18(a), in response to an Integrated Competitor, FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries believes that it is necessary to offer Heineken Products as part of FEMSA’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ portfolio of products in that territory in order to compete effectively with such Integrated Competitor, they will explore and discuss the possibility of FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries distributing and selling Heineken Products in all or part of Mexico, provided that, if the Parties cannot reach agreement on such matters, the provisions of Section 6.18(a) shall continue to apply.

“Alcoholic Beverage Business” shall mean any business relating to the brewing, production or distribution of Heineken Products but shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, include sales of Heineken Products in FEMSA’s own stores;

“Call Option” shall mean the right for the option holder or a third party nominated by the option holder to acquire the relevant assets in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.18.

“Heineken Territory” shall mean South America, Central America, Mexico, the United States, Canada and the Caribbean (including Cuba);

“Integrated Competitor” means any present or future competitor to KOF which is a significant competitor of Heineken Products and becomes engaged in the Non-Alcoholic Beverage Business;

“Integrated Competitor Territory” means the specific geographic area in which the applicable Integrated Competitor operates and in which FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries has made a reasonable determination that it is necessary to offer Heineken Products in order to compete effectively with such Integrated Competitor;

“KO Beverage Business” means any business that relates to the production, sale, marketing or distribution of beverages (including, without limitation carbonated soft drinks, juices, nectars, fruit-flavored beverages, water, teas, isotonics, and other flavored or functioning beverages) under trademarks owned by or licensed to The Coca-Cola Company or any of its Affiliates.

“Non-Alcoholic Beverage Business” means any business relating to the production, sale, marketing or distribution of non-alcoholic beverages (including, without limitation carbonated soft drinks, juices, nectars, fruit-flavored beverages, water, teas, isotonics, and other flavored or functioning beverages), but excluding any non-alcoholic beer or alcoholic malt-based beverage product, provided however, that Non-Alcoholic Beverage Business shall not include any KO Beverage Business.

(e) If Heineken (the “Exercising Party”) becomes aware that FEMSA or any of its Subsidiaries has acquired any business which gives rise to a Call Option for the purposes of Section 6.18(b)(ii), it may at any time notify in writing FEMSA (the “Required Transferor”) that it is exercising its Call Option (a “Call Option Notice”) requiring the Required Transferor to sell to the Exercising Party or such party as the Exercising Party may nominate (in which case references to the Exercising Party shall be to such nominee as from Call Option Completion) the interest of the other Party in the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business.

(i) the Call Option shall be exercised at a price of the Fair Market Value of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business;

(ii) the terms of the sale of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business pursuant to the Call Option shall be customary for such a sale in the relevant jurisdiction provided however that the terms shall be substantially to the terms, save as to price, of the original acquisition (the “Original Acquisition Terms”); and

(iii) the closing of the purchase of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business pursuant to the Call Option (“Call Option Completion”) will take place at the offices of the designated lawyers of the Exercising Party at a date no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date on which the Call Option Notice is

delivered, unless the Exercising Party and the Required Transferor agree in writing to a different date, time or place; provided that, if the purchase and sale of such relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business pursuant to the Call Option is subject to any prior anti-trust or other regulatory approval:

(A) Call Option Completion shall be the fifth Business Day after all such approvals shall have been received; and

(B) the Parties shall co-operate with each other and each use all reasonable endeavors to obtain such approvals;

(iv) the Required Transferor shall deliver to the Exercising Party any documentation necessary to transfer the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business to the Exercising Party free and clear of all liens or rights of others of any nature;

(v) the Exercising Party shall, at Call Option Completion, pay the Required Transferor in U.S. Dollars, by wire transfer in federal (same day) funds to the account or accounts that the Required Transferor designates, an amount equal to price (as set out in 1.8(a)) of the shares of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business being acquired;

(vi) FEMSA agrees not to enter into any agreement in relation to any relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business which includes any clause (including without limitation a prohibition on the sale of such relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business) which would be inconsistent with the terms of this Section 6.18. The Parties also agree that, in the event of a breach of this Section 6.18 the Required Transferor may not rely on such prohibition;

(vii) during the period from delivery of the Call Option Notice until Call Option Completion, the Required Transferor shall ensure that the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business is run in the ordinary course and with the aim of preserving the value and assets of such relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business; and

(viii) the Required Transferor shall ensure that all applicable related party rules are complied with in connection with any exercise of a Call Option.

(g) The Required Transferor shall be required to provide all such financial and other information (subject to standard terms of confidentiality) to the Exercising Party as the Exercising Party shall reasonably determine as being necessary in order to make an independent determination of the value of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business (the “Valuation Information”).

(i) any determination of “Fair Market Value” in respect of an interest in a relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business which is the subject of a Call Option shall be the proportion of the Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value as is represented by that interest. “Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value” shall mean

the amount in U.S. Dollars that, as of the Valuation Date, would be received for all issued, subscribed and paid shares of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business’s capital stock in an arm’s length transaction between a willing buyer and seller and on the basis that the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business is and continues to be an independent, stand alone entity determined as follows:

(A) Heineken and FEMSA will each make an independent determination of the Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value (each an “Original Valuation Determination”) and will submit it to the other within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Call Option Notice (or such other dates as the Parties mutually agree). Each Original Valuation Determination shall set forth a single determination of the value of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business, and not a range thereof. If the Original Valuation Determinations differ by an amount which is less than 10% of the smaller Original Valuation Determination, the Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value will be the average of the Original Valuation Determinations;

(B) if the difference between the Original Valuation Determinations is an amount which is greater than 10% of the smaller Original Valuation Determination, Heineken and FEMSA will each select a financial institution from the FMV Institution List. These two institutions will make their respective determinations of the Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value (each a “Second Valuation”) and submit them to each of Heineken and FEMSA within forty-five (45) days of the delivery of the Original Valuation Determinations. Each Second Valuation shall set forth a single determination of the value of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business and not a range thereof. If the Second Valuations differ by an amount which is less than 10% of the smaller Second Valuation, the Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value will be the average of such Second Valuations;

(C) if the Second Valuations differ by an amount which is greater than 10% of the smaller Second Valuation, the two aforementioned institutions will select a third institution from the FMV Institution List, which institution shall then make its own determination of the Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value (the “Third Valuation”). The Third Valuation shall set forth a single determination of the value of the relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business and not a range thereof. The third institution will determine which of the Second Valuations is closest to the Third Valuation, and the closest such valuation shall become the final valuation (the “Final Valuation”) and shall be submitted by such third institution to each of Heineken and FEMSA within forty-five (45) days of the delivery of the Second Valuation. The Final Valuation will be deemed to be the Relevant Alcoholic Beverages Business Value;

(ii) in the case of any determination of Fair Market Value, (i) each of Heineken and FEMSA shall pay the fees and expenses of any institution it selects from the FMV Institution List and (ii) Heineken and FEMSA shall share equally the fees and expenses of any institution selected from the FMV Institution List to render a Third Valuation; and

(iii) the following internationally recognized investment banks (the “FMV Institution List”) may be selected from time to time for purposes of determining Fair Market Value: Allen & Co., Credit Suisse and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.

(i) Until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, FEMSA shall not and shall causes its Affiliates to not solicit, recruit or hire any person who at any time on or after the date of this Agreement is a Company Group Employee (as hereinafter defined); provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at Company Group Employees or (ii) FEMSA or any of its Affiliates from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Company Group Employee who has ceased to be employed or retained by the Company, the Heineken Parties or any of their respective Affiliates for at least 12 months. For purposes of this Section 6.18, “Company Group Employees” means, collectively, officers, directors and senior or managerial executives of the Company, Heineken, Heineken Holding and their respective Affiliates; provided that the Company Group Employees listed on Schedule 6.18(c) hereto shall not be subject of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6.18(c).

(j) The FEMSA Parties acknowledge that the covenants of FEMSA set forth in this Section 6.18 are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach by FEMSA or its Affiliates of any provision of this Section 6.18 will result in irreparable injury to the Heineken Parties. The FEMSA Parties acknowledge that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, the Heineken Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising therefrom, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate. The FEMSA Parties have independently consulted with their respective counsel and after such consultation agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.18 are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interest of the Heineken Parties.

(k) If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral panel determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 6.18 are invalid or unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the Parties that these provisions shall be construed by the court or arbitral panel in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on FEMSA’s conduct that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Heineken Parties the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any proceeding, a court or arbitral panel shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 6.18 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Heineken Parties the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

(a) Upon reasonable notice, subject to applicable antitrust and other Laws, FEMSA shall, and shall cause the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries to, (i) afford to Heineken and the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of Heineken (the “Representatives”), reasonable access during normal business hours during the period from the date hereof to the Closing, to all of the properties, books, contracts, commitments and records of the Company and Company Subsidiaries and during such period, the FEMSA Parties shall, and shall cause the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries to furnish promptly to Heineken and its Representatives all information concerning the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ business, assets, properties, liabilities and personnel as Heineken may reasonably request, (ii) permit Heineken and the Representatives to make copies of such books, contracts, commitments, and records (at Heineken’s and the Representative’s sole expense) and make inspections thereof, (iii) cause the officers of each of the Company and Company Subsidiaries to furnish Heineken and the Representatives with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company and Company Subsidiaries as Heineken and the Representatives may from time to time reasonably request, (iv) permit representatives of Heineken to be present at each facility of the Company and Company Subsidiaries and to observe the conduct of the business at any time during normal business hours, and (v) afford Heineken and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours during the period from the date hereof to the Closing, to the officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, for the purpose of negotiating post-closing arrangements and providing information concerning the Company’s business, assets, properties, liabilities and personnel, provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted at Heineken’s expense, at a reasonable time, under the supervision of the personnel of FEMSA, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and in such a manner as to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and not to interfere with the normal operations of the business of FEMSA, the Company or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything contained in this or any other agreement between the Heineken Parties and FEMSA executed prior to the date hereof, nothing herein shall require either FEMSA, the Company or any Company Subsidiary to disclose any information to any Heineken Party if such disclosure would in FEMSA’s reasonable determination (i) cause significant competitive harm to the Company or its Affiliates if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (ii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (iii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which FEMSA, the Company or any Affiliate of either is a party).

7.1 Conditions to Each Party’s Obligation to Effect the Closing. The obligation of each Party to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on or prior to the Closing Date of each of the following conditions:

(a) Statutes; Court Orders. No Law shall have been enacted or promulgated by any Governmental Entity in Mexico, The Netherlands, the United States which prohibits the consummation of the Closing. There shall be no injunction, decree, ruling or order of a court of competent jurisdiction in Mexico, The Netherlands, or in the United States in effect precluding consummation of the Closing.

(b) Antitrust Approval. The waiting period or relevant authorization or clearance required for the Closing under the HSR Act and the relevant authorization or clearance required for the Closing under the Mexican Antitrust Law and each other applicable Law relating to competition or antitrust promulgated, enacted or enforced by a Governmental Entity in any applicable jurisdiction, if any, shall have expired, been terminated or been obtained, as appropriate, if the effect of consummation of the Closing before such expiration or termination, or before such authorization, would be a violation of any applicable Law.

9.1 Indemnification by the Heineken Parties. (a) From and after the Closing, Heineken (and, upon Heineken’s failure to comply with the obligations under this Section 9.1, Heineken Holding) shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless any FEMSA Party against any Losses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any diminution in value resulting from payments made by any Heineken Party pursuant to this Section 9.1), imposed on, sustained, suffered or incurred by any FEMSA Party, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between any of the Parties, or otherwise as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of any Heineken Party contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of any such representation or warranty that is limited by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect”, or any similar term or limitation, the amount of Losses shall be determined as if such “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect”, or any similar term or limitation were not included therein, provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of a breach or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty shall be determined taking into account any such terms or limitations; or

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of any Heineken Party contained in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Heineken Parties shall not be required to indemnify the FEMSA Parties pursuant to Section 9.1 unless and only to the extent the aggregate of all Losses for which the Heineken Parties would be liable under Section 9.1 exceeds $50,000,000 (the “Indemnification Deductible”) and the maximum aggregate liability of Heineken to the FEMSA Parties for losses under Section 9.1 shall not exceed $800,000,000 (the “Heineken Indemnification Cap”); provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Heineken Indemnification Cap and the Indemnification Deductible shall not apply to indemnification claims arising from breaches of the Heineken Core Representations, claims arising from breaches under Section 9.1(a)(ii) or any matter constituting fraud.

9.2 Indemnification by the FEMSA Parties. (a) From and after the Closing, the FEMSA Parties shall jointly and severally save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Heineken Parties from and against any Losses, imposed on, sustained, suffered or incurred by any Heineken Party (including, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between any of the Parties, or otherwise as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of any FEMSA Party contained in this Agreement (other than any representation contained in Section 4.17 related to Tax Matters); provided, however, that in the case of any such representation or warranty that is limited by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect”, or any similar term or limitation, the amount of Losses shall be determined as if such “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect”, or any similar term or limitation were not included therein, provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of a breach or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty shall be determined taking into account any such terms or limitations; or

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of any FEMSA Party contained in this Agreement.

(b) From and after the Closing and up to and until 30 days after the expiry of the relevant statute of limitations, the FEMSA Parties shall indemnify the Heineken Parties, the Company and each Company Subsidiary, on a dollar for dollar basis without application of the Indemnification Deductible for all Losses that are attributable to any Taxes that are the responsibility of FEMSA under Section 6.17, for all Restructuring Taxes, and for

any Taxes that are payable by any person to any Governmental Entity in Mexico and that relate to or result from the transfer of the FEMSA Exchange Shares under this Agreement (the “Share Taxes”). Any such Losses attributable to Taxes that are the responsibility of FEMSA under Section 6.17 and are payable to any Governmental Entity in Brazil (the “Brazilian Taxes”), any Restructuring Taxes, and any Share Taxes shall not be subject to the FEMSA Indemnification Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any such Losses that are attributable to Taxes that are the responsibility of FEMSA under Section 6.17 that are not Brazilian Taxes, Restructuring Taxes or Share Taxes (“Other Taxes”) shall not be included in the calculation of aggregate liability for purposes of the FEMSA Indemnification Cap except to the extent that such liability exceeds $300,000,000. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restructuring Taxes” shall mean any and all Losses that are attributable to Taxes relating to or resulting from any change to the capital structure, internal restructuring, or similar transaction of or with respect to FEMSA, the Company, and the Company Subsidiaries occurring in 2009 and in 2010 on or before the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the demerger of the Company on September 1, 2009 and any transaction related thereto),

(c) FEMSA shall not be required to indemnify any Heineken Party pursuant to Sections 9.2 unless and only to the extent the aggregate of all Losses for which FEMSA would otherwise be liable under Section 9.2 exceeds the Indemnification Deductible and the maximum aggregate liability of FEMSA to the Heineken Parties for losses under Section 9.2 shall not exceed $500,000,000 (the “FEMSA Indemnification Cap”); provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the FEMSA Indemnification Cap shall not apply to indemnification claims arising from any breach of the FEMSA Core Representations, claims arising from breaches under Section 9.2(a)(ii), any liability for Brazilian Taxes (including liability pursuant to Section 9.2(b)), any liability for Restructuring Taxes (including liability pursuant to Section 9.2(b)), any liability for Share Taxes (including liability pursuant to Section 9.2(b)), or any matter constituting fraud; and (ii) the Indemnification Deductible shall not apply to indemnification claims arising from any breach of the FEMSA Core Representations, claims arising from breaches under Section 9.2(a)(ii), any claims under Section 6.17 (Tax Matters), any liability for Brazilian Taxes (including liability pursuant to Section 9.2(b)), any liability for Other Taxes (including liability pursuant to Section 9.2(b)), any liability for Restructuring Taxes (including liability pursuant to Section 9.2(b)), any liability for Share Taxes (including liability pursuant to Section 9.2(b)), or any matter constituting fraud.

9.3 Calculation of Losses. (a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party resulting from the accrual or receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as additional proceeds in exchange for the Indemnified Party’s transfer or issuance, as applicable, of shares for Tax purposes, unless a final determination by a Governmental Entity with respect to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as such for Tax purposes.

(b) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of (i) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement in respect of such Loss (after deducting therefrom the amount of expenses incurred by it in procuring such proceeds or reimbursement) and (ii) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Party shall be liable to or otherwise responsible to any other Party or any Affiliate of any other Party under this Article IX for consequential, incidental, indirect or punitive damages or for diminution in value (but except as provided by the second parenthetical in Section 9.1(a)) or lost profits that arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the performance or breach hereof.

(d) The FEMSA Parties and the Heineken Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses for which they (or, as applicable, FEMSA Parties indemnitees or Heineken Parties indemnitees) may seek indemnification hereunder. In respect of any Loss for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification by a third party pursuant to a written indemnification agreement, such Indemnified Party shall, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, take actions reasonably necessary to enforce rights under such indemnification agreement, including, if the recovery from the indemnitor would exceed $5,000,000, the commencement and prosecution of Proceedings in connection therewith, provided that a material failure to take such actions that adversely affects the FEMSA Parties shall bar the Heineken Parties from exercising their rights under this Article IX with respect to such Loss.

9.4 Procedures. (a) Third Party Claims. In order for a person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification against any Losses under Section 9.1 or 9.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim (other than a Tax Claim) made or threatened by any person who is not a Party (or successor to a Party) to this Agreement, against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall give the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) a written claim notice relating to such Losses (a “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall be given within thirty (30) Business Days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the facts indicating that a claim for indemnification may be warranted and shall state in reasonable detail (to the extent known) the nature and amount of the claim; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not lose any rights to

any claims pursuant to this Agreement for failure to submit a Claim Notice within such 10-Business Day period to the extent the Indemnifying Party is not materially prejudiced by the failure to timely receive such Claim Notice. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) Business Days’ time after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim and provide any other information and any cooperation with respect to such Third Party Claim as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require.

(b) Assumption. In the event any suit or other legal Proceeding is brought with respect to such a Third Party Claim against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, upon reasonable prior notice, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party if representation of both Parties by the same counsel creates a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense, including the right to control all negotiations, settlements, compromises and appeals of any such claim, all of which shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In any event, if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or Proceeding within 20 days after receiving a Claim Notice with respect to the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense, and the fees and expenses of its attorneys will be covered by the indemnity provided for in this Article IX upon determination of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity obligation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, provided that a material failure to provide such cooperation by the Indemnified Party shall bar the Indemnified Party from any remedy with respect to such Third Party Claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent unless the sole relief granted is equitable relief for which the Indemnifying Party would have no liability and to which the Indemnifying Party would not be subject. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge does not involve any finding or admission or any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and involves solely the payment of money and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement

or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, (ii) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party and (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(c) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver express written notice of such claim (specifying in reasonable detail the basis for the claim and the estimated amount of the claim) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such failure but shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise pursuant to this Article IX.

9.5 Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for fourteen (14) months after the Closing, other than (a) the FEMSA Core Representations and the Heineken Core Representations, which shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect indefinitely, (b) the representations and warranties in Section 4.19 (Environmental Matters), which shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (c) the representations and warranties in Section 4.17 (Tax Matters), which shall not survive the Closing and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing without limitation (except for those which by their terms contemplate a shorter survival time) until fully discharged and this Section 9.5 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties that contemplates performance after the Closing.

9.6 Remedies Not Affected by Knowledge. If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Parties expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by or knowledge of such Party in respect of any fact or circumstances that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof, provided that this Section 9.6 shall not apply to any fact or circumstance disclosed in the FEMSA Disclosure Materials or the Heineken Disclosure Materials.

9.7 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.17, after the Closing Date, the remedies provided in this Article IX shall be exclusive and shall preclude assertion by an Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against an Indemnifying Party for claims based on, arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude a Party from seeking specific performance or other equitable relief in relation to or under Sections 6.4, 6.16, 6.18 or Section 10.8. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification by the FEMSA Parties for Tax Matters shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.17 and Section 9.2 (subject to Section 9.3). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall retain all rights, claims and causes of action arising from another Party’s fraud, intentional misrepresentation of fact or intentional misconduct.

10.1 Fees and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Closing shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, except as specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement.

10.2 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented in any and all respects, but only by a written instrument signed by all of the Parties hereto expressly stating that such instrument is intended to amend, modify or supplement this Agreement.

10.3 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if mailed, delivered personally, telecopied (which is confirmed) or sent by an overnight courier service, such as Federal Express, to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice):

10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

10.5 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) This Agreement, the Corporate Governance Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Heineken Voting Agreements, the FEMSA Control Trust Voting Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and thereto (and their permitted successors and assigns) any rights or remedies hereunder.

(b) THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, PROMISE, INDUCEMENT, UNDERSTANDING, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT HAS BEEN MADE OR RELIED UPON BY ANY PARTY

HERETO OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE HEINEKEN VOTING AGREEMENTS, THE FEMSA CONTROL TRUST VOTING AGREEMENT AND THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE DISCLAIMER SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, NO PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, IN ANY PRESENTATION OR WRITTEN INFORMATION GIVEN OR TO BE GIVEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, OR IN ANY FILING MADE OR TO BE MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY, AND NO STATEMENT MADE IN ANY SUCH PRESENTATION OR WRITTEN MATERIALS, MADE IN ANY SUCH FILING OR CONTAINED IN ANY SUCH OTHER INFORMATION SHALL BE DEEMED A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTY HAS INFORMED IT THAT NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED BY SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS.

10.6 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

10.8 Jurisdiction; Specific Performance. (a) Any controversy, claim or dispute between the Parties arising from or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, including but not limited to the existence, validity, intent, interpretation, performance, enforcement or arbitrability of any of the terms contained herein or therein shall be submitted for final resolution to arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC” and “ICC Rules”) before an arbitration tribunal consisting of three arbitrators. FEMSA, on the one hand, and the Heineken Parties jointly, on the other hand, shall each appoint one arbitrator pursuant to the ICC Rules, and the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal, shall be appointed by the two arbitrators so chosen within thirty days of confirmation of their appointment. The place of arbitration shall be in New York, New York, and all arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. The costs of arbitration shall be apportioned by the tribunal in the arbitration award. This

Section 10.8 shall not limit the jurisdiction of the Accounting Arbitrator as set forth in Section 2.2(c), although claims may be asserted in the arbitral proceedings described in this Section 10.8 for purposes of enforcing the jurisdiction of the Accounting Arbitrator.

(b) By agreeing to ICC arbitration and its pre-arbitral referee procedure, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of competent jurisdiction of its ability to issue any form of provisional remedy, including but not limited to a preliminary injunction or attachment in aid of the arbitration, or order any interim or conservatory measure. A request for such provisional remedy or interim or conservatory measure by a Party to a court shall not be deemed a waiver of the agreement to ICC arbitration and its pre-arbitral referee procedure. A request for such provisional remedy or interim or conservatory measure by a Party to a pre-arbitral referee shall not be deemed a waiver of the agreement to ICC arbitration or the agreement to allow a court of competent jurisdiction to issue provisional remedies or interim or conservatory measures.

(c) When a party to a Transaction Document or the Corporate Governance Agreement submits a Request for Arbitration (as defined in the ICC Rules) in connection with a legal relationship in respect of which arbitration proceedings between the parties to the same or another Transaction Document or the Corporate Governance Agreement are already pending under the ICC Rules (an “Already Pending Proceeding”), any party to such Transaction Document or the Corporate Governance Agreement may request that the claims contained in the Request for Arbitration (the “New Claims”) be included in the Already Pending Proceeding. If a party to a Transaction Document or the Corporate Governance Agreement makes such a request before the Terms of Reference (as defined in the ICC Rules) have been signed or approved by the ICC in the Already Pending Proceeding, pursuant to Article 4(6) of the ICC Rules, the ICC shall determine whether to include the New Claims in the Already Pending Proceeding. If a party to a Transaction Document or the Corporate Governance Agreement makes such a request after the Terms of Reference in the Already Pending Proceeding have been signed or approved by the ICC, pursuant to Article 19 of the ICC Rules, the arbitration tribunal in the Already Pending Proceeding shall determine whether to include the New Claims in the Already Pending Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, two or more arbitration proceedings may be consolidated in accordance with this Section 10.8(c) under Articles 4(6) or 19 of the ICC Rules, even if the parties to such arbitration proceedings are not identical. Any Party to this Agreement shall have the right to recourse to and shall be bound by the pre-arbitral referee procedure of the ICC in accordance with its Rules for a Pre-Arbitral Referee Procedure.

(d) In addition to any discovery permitted under the ICC Rules, each Party shall produce relevant, non-privileged documents or copies thereof requested by another Party within the time limits set by the arbitration tribunal. With respect to such document discovery, the arbitration tribunal shall be guided by the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration.

10.9 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, either Party hereto may extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of such Party. The failure of either Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

10.10 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be transferred by either Party (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party, provided that the FEMSA Parties may designate one or more of their Affiliates to be the transferee(s) of the Heineken Exchange Shares, the Heineken Holding Exchange Shares and/or the Allotted Shares pursuant to Section 2.1. Any transfer of any rights, interests or obligations hereunder in violation of this Section shall be null and void.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement or caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective directors or officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.
