(b) In the event the valuation listed on each party’s FMV Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(a) above is not within 10% of the other party’s FMV Certificate Valuation (the “FMV Dispute”), the determination of Fair Market Value shall be finally and conclusively determined by an investment banking firm of recognized international standing selected by the mutual agreement in writing of the Deciding Minority Stakeholder and the Optionee; provided, however, that if the Deciding Minority Stakeholder and the Optionee are unable to mutually agree on an independent third party investment bank within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of both FMV Certificate Valuations pursuant to Section 4.2, then each of the Optionee and such Deciding Minority Stakeholder will appoint one (1) independent third party investment bank, and such appointed investment banks shall endeavor in good faith to appoint one (1) independent third party investment bank.

Within two (2) Business Days after the selection of the Banker Arbiter, the Deciding Minority Stakeholder and the Optionee will each deliver to the Banker Arbiter such party’s FMV Certificate. Promptly, but not later than twenty (20) Business Days after the acceptance of its appointment, the Banker Arbiter will conduct its own review of the FMV Dispute and of each party’s calculation of Fair Market Value as set forth in such party’s FMV Certificate and make an independent determination of the Company’s Fair Market Value (“Banker Arbiter’s FMV Valuation”) using Agreed Upon Valuation Methodologies and the Agreed Upon Company Information, and such other information about the market and other considerations relating to the determination of Fair Market Value as such Banker Arbiter may deem reasonable in making its decision; provided, however, that the Banker Arbiter shall, prior to making its determination, give each of the Optionee and the Deciding Minority Stakeholder a confidential closed door opportunity to present a justification for its determination of Fair Market Value as set forth in the FMV Certificate. The Banker Arbiter will then select, within five (5) Business Days after the Banker Arbiter’s FMV Valuation, the FMV Certificate Valuation that corresponds most closely to the Banker Arbiter’s FMV Valuation and shall calculate the average of the Banker Arbiter’s FMV Valuation and such FMV Certificate Valuation, which shall thereafter, for all purposes of this Agreement, become the Fair Market Value (the “Banker Arbiter’s FMV) and shall be set forth in the Banker Arbiter’s FMV Certificate (the “Banker Arbiter’s FMV Certificate”). The Banker Arbiter’s FMV Certificate shall be delivered by the Banker Arbiter to each of the Deciding Minority Stakeholder and the Optionee as promptly as practicable, but no later than five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Banker Arbiter’s FMV Valuation. The Banker Arbiter’s FMV Certificate must present a written and reasoned response articulating justification for the Banker Arbiter’s determination of Fair Market Value, as is customary and appropriate, in the Banker Arbiter’s opinion, for these

The fees and expenses of the Banker Arbiter and all outside advisors retained by the Banker Arbiter who participated in the resolution of the FMV Dispute will be borne equally by the Deciding Minority Stakeholder and the Tagging Optionor, if any, on one hand and the Optionee on the other hand; provided, however, that solely with respect to the portion of fees and expenses to be paid by the Optionors if both the Initiating Optionor and the Tagging Optionor are selling to the Optionee, as between the Initiating Optionor and the Tagging Optionor the fees and expenses of the Banker Arbiter and all outside advisors retained by the Banker Arbiter who participated in the resolution of the FMV Dispute will be borne pro rata based on exercise proceeds. In the event that either the Deciding Minority Stakeholder or the Optionee disagrees with the Fair Market Value determination in the Banker Arbiter’s FMV Certificate, then such party may request that such party be given the opportunity to make an additional presentation to the Banker Arbiter, and any such request shall be granted promptly and the Banker Arbiter shall schedule a time for such meeting within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such written request; provided, however, that (i) the Banker Arbiter shall be under no obligation to change its Fair Market Value determination and (ii) the other party shall be permitted to attend and comment upon such party’s presentation.

(c) Optionors shall have the right to conduct reasonable Optionor Company Interviews for each Notice of Exercise, provided that such meetings are concluded at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date any FMV Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder, and provided further that a detailed agenda of each of the matters that are the subject of such interview or request (the “Optionor Interview Agenda”) is provided to the Company and the Optionee at least seven (7) days prior to the date of the initial interview and a reasonable period prior to any reasonably required follow-up interview.

(d) Optionee shall have the right to have reasonable in-person interviews with Company management for each Notice of Exercise, conducted by an investment bank or other financial adviser selected by the Optionee, to calculate or review the Fair Market Value; provided that such meetings are concluded at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date any FMV Certificate is required to be delivered hereunder, and provided further that a detailed agenda of each of the matters that are the subject of such interview or request is provided to the Company and the Optionors at least seven (7) days prior to the date of the initial Optionee interview and a reasonable period prior to any reasonably required follow-up interview.

The Closing shall occur upon payment, in U.S. dollars, of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or the “Closing Consideration”) in respect of such Notice Shares against delivery of such Notice Shares.

(a) Subject to Section 11.10, except with respect to the selection of the Banker Arbiter and the determination of Fair Market Value, in each case pursuant to Section 4.2, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, or regarding a Breach thereof (a “Dispute”), shall be exclusively referred to, and finally settled exclusively by,

 

25


arbitration under and in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). The arbitration panel shall have the exclusive right to determine arbitrability of any Dispute. In the event of a conflict between the Rules of the ICC and any provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

(b) The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and the award shall be deemed to have been made there.

(c) The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators, one Qualified Arbitrator appointed by the party or parties (acting together) initiating the arbitration (the “Claimant”) and one Qualified Arbitrator appointed by the responding party or parties (acting together) to the dispute (the “Respondent”), and a third Qualified Arbitrator who must be an attorney licensed to practice law with at least ten (10) years experience in handling complex merger and acquisition and/or corporate transactions or commercial disputes, and who shall act as chairman of the tribunal jointly appointed by the other two Qualified Arbitrators that have been appointed as provided in this Section 11.9. If the Respondent has failed to appoint a Qualified Arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of the appointment of the Claimant’s Qualified Arbitrator, or vice-versa, and/or if within thirty (30) days following the appointment of the later-appointed of such two party-appointed Qualified Arbitrators the two party-appointed Qualified Arbitrators have not agreed upon the appointment of a chairman, either the Claimant or the Respondent may apply to the ICC, which will serve as the appointing authority, and shall appoint a Qualified Arbitrator on behalf of the non-appointing party or shall appoint the chairman, as applicable. With respect to said panel of three (3) Qualified Arbitrators, in the event that there are three (3) or more parties to a dispute: (i) if the interest of the parties acting as Claimant are sufficiently aligned such that they can agree upon the joint appointment of a Qualified Arbitrator, or if the Claimant is only one party, then the Claimant shall be entitled to appoint one Qualified Arbitrator; (ii) if the interest of the parties acting as Respondent are sufficiently aligned such that they can agree upon the joint appointment of a Qualified Arbitrator or if the Respondent is only one (1) party, then the Respondent shall be entitled to appoint one Qualified Arbitrator; (iii) (A) if the interests of the parties acting as Claimant are not sufficiently aligned such that they can agree upon the joint appointment of a Qualified Arbitrator or (B) the interests of the parties acting as Respondent are not sufficiently aligned such that they can agree upon the joint appointment of a Qualified Arbitrator, then all Qualified Arbitrators shall be appointed by the ICC. The arbitration proceedings shall be administered by the ICC and the costs of the arbitration shall be determined pursuant to the schedule of fees for arbitrators in international cases which the ICC administers.

(d) Notwithstanding this Section 11.9, nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver of a right to bring or commence any action authorized by Article 23 of the ICC Rules of Arbitration (Conservatory and Interim Measures) in any state or federal court located in the State of New York, County of New York, or in the city or comuna of Santiago, Chile. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of said courts for that purpose. Furthermore, to avoid duplicative and competing actions and the possibility of inconsistent results, each party agrees to submit all such disputes authorized by Article 23 of the ICC Rules of Arbitration to the court hearing the first such action filed seeking such relief. Moreover, each party submits to the jurisdiction of such court for purposes of such an Article 23 action and agrees that service of process pursuant to the Notice provision set forth in Section 11.4 shall be deemed sufficient service to commence such an action.

 

26


(e) The language of the arbitration shall be English, provided that any party may submit testimony or documentary evidence in a language other than English, and shall, upon request of any other party to the arbitration, furnish a translation or interpretation into English of any such testimony or documentary evidence.

(f) Any decision or award of the arbitration panel shall be reasoned and in writing, and shall be final and binding upon the parties to the arbitration proceeding. The parties hereby agree not to invoke or execute any and all rights to appeal, review, vacate or impugn such decision or award by the arbitration panel. The parties also agree that the arbitral decision or award may be enforced against the parties to the arbitration proceeding or their assets wherever they may be found, and that a judgment upon the arbitral decision or award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Without prejudice to any other powers which it may possess, the arbitral tribunal shall have the power to make provisional awards and take any interim measures it deems necessary in respect of the subject-matter of the dispute.

(g) The parties hereby agree that if any party to the arbitration proceeding fails or refuses to voluntarily comply with any arbitral decision or award within thirty (30) days after the date on which it receives notice of the decision or award, the other party(ies), the arbitration panel or their attorneys-in-fact may immediately proceed to seek confirmation of the award and/or request judicial approval necessary for the execution of such decision or award, before a competent judge of the domicile of such refusing party or before any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, if any prevailing party(ies) is required to retain counsel to enforce the arbitral decision or award, the party against whom the decision or award is made shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred and paid to said counsel for such service.

(h) The parties agree that notifications of any proceedings, reports, communications, orders, arbitral decisions, arbitral awards, arbitral award enforcement petitions, and any other document shall be sent as set forth Section 11.4 of this Agreement.

To facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request by any party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitral tribunal may, at any time before the first oral hearing of evidence, consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding between or among the parties arising from or out of any other contract or relationship between or among them.

11.10. Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance

The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Each of the parties hereto agrees that:

(a) in the event of any Breach or threatened Breach by a party hereto of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement, the other party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including but not limited

 

27


to claims, actions or remedies for fraud) to: (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (ii) an injunction restraining such Breach or threatened Breach, in each case, in Chile or New York; and

(b) the non-breaching party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or proceeding.

11.11. Waiver

Except with respect to an Optionor’s rights to exercise a Liquidity Put or a  2/3 Put, each of which shall terminate in accordance with Section 12, or except as may be otherwise provided herein, no failure by any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay by any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

11.12. Amendments

No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification or discharge is sought.

11.13. Severability

In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances, other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and with respect to such Persons or circumstances as to which such provision is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, a valid, lawful and enforceable provision shall be substituted therefor which most closely approximates the overall intentions of the parties as evidenced hereby.

11.14. Confidentiality

Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that throughout the term of this Agreement, it shall keep (and shall cause its directors, officers, employees, representatives and

 

28


outside advisors and its Affiliates to keep) this Agreement confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party hereto may disclose non-public information if required by or requested pursuant to any Requirements of Laws or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by any Governmental Body; provided, however, that (to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Laws) prompt notice of such required disclosure be given to the other party prior to the making of such disclosure so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the party hereto required to disclose the non-public information will disclose only that portion of the information which such party is advised by written opinion of counsel is legally required to be disclosed and will request that confidential treatment be accorded such portion of the non-public information.

11.15. Entire Agreement

This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

12. TERMINATION

This Agreement shall terminate, with respect to each Optionor, upon the expiration of such Optionor’s Liquidity Puts and  2/3 Put. The Liquidity Puts with respect to each Optionor shall expire on the earlier of (a) the date on which such Optionor owns no Stock, (b) the date on which such Optionor has exercised both of its Liquidity Puts or has exercised a Liquidity Put for all of its Option Shares and (c) the date of termination of the Liquidity Put Period. The  2/3 Put with respect to each Optionor shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Optionor owns no Stock, (ii) the date on which such Optionor has exercised its  2/3 Put and (iii) the date upon which the Optionee (together with any of its Affiliates) holds 66.67% of the Stock; provided, however, the terms, provisions, and conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 11 hereof shall survive any such termination.
