Article I.
THE COMBINATION

Section 1.1            The Merger. Upon and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, including Annex ‎I (Combination Mechanics), (i) on the Closing Date, PUBCO and PRIVATECO shall enter into the Merger Agreement (Convenio de Fusión), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit ‎B (the “Merger Agreement”), and take such other steps in connection therewith as are specified in Annex ‎I (Combination Mechanics), and (ii) simultaneously at the Effective Time (a) each issued and outstanding PRIVATECO Share as of the Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive (upon surrender of the certificate (“Certificate”) formerly representing such PRIVATECO Share) (x) the applicable Per-Share Consideration, and (y) pursuant to Section 1.7 of Annex ‎I (Combination Mechanics), any applicable Fractional Consideration (together with the aggregate Per-Share Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), and (b) subject to ‎Section 1.5, each issued and outstanding PUBCO Share, PUBCO ADS and PUBCO CPO as of the Effective Time shall remain unchanged by virtue of the Merger and continue to remain outstanding. The Merger shall otherwise be carried out as and shall have the effects set forth in Annex ‎I (Combination Mechanics). For the avoidance of doubt, as used herein, “Combined Company ADSs”, “Combined Company Series A Shares” and “Combined Company CPOs” respectively refer to equity securities of the same type, form and issuer as “PUBCO ADSs”, “PUBCO Shares” and “PUBCO CPOs”.

Section 1.2            Merger Consideration. The Per-Share Consideration shall be payable (i) in the form of Combined Company Series A Shares, in the case of each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder that is a Mexican Qualified Holder, and (ii) in the form of Combined Company ADSs, in the case of each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder that is not a Mexican Qualified Holder, in each case of the foregoing clauses ‎(i) and ‎(ii) in such aggregate amounts and form as are specified for the applicable Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder in the Consideration Spreadsheet. The Fractional Consideration shall be payable in the aggregate amount as is specified for the applicable Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder in the Consideration Spreadsheet. The Merger Consideration shall otherwise be payable and subject to the terms and conditions specified in Annex ‎I (Combination Mechanics).

Section 1.3            Equity Awards. Effect and treatment of PRIVATECO Equity Awards and PUBCO Equity Awards in connection with the Merger shall be as specified in Annex ‎I (Combination Mechanics).

Section 1.4            Reserved Share Consideration. At the Effective Time, in the event the Amended Notes have not been converted into PRIVATECO Shares prior to the Effective Time, PUBCO shall issue the Reserved Share Consideration into treasury and reserve such Reserved Share Consideration for issuance to the Noteholders in the event that, following the Closing, the Noteholders elect to convert their Amended Notes or a portion thereof (in accordance with the A&R NPA) into Combined Company Securities. The Reserved Share Consideration shall be cancelled following the maturity and repayment of the Amended Notes absent earlier conversion by the Noteholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of any Reserved Share Consideration to the Noteholders (if at all) following the Effective Time shall be determined in accordance with and pursuant to the A&R NPA, and the Reserved Share Consideration shall not constitute or be payable as Merger Consideration hereunder.

Section 1.5            Series B-1 and B-2 Conversion. The PUBCO Shareholders’ Meeting will provide for the conversion, on a one-to-one basis, effective as of and subject to occurrence of the Effective Time, of a portion of the PUBCO ADSs (or the PUBCO Shares underlying such PUBCO ADSs) of (i) the Key Indigo Holder into Combined Company Series B-1 Shares, such that immediately following the Effective Time, the Key Indigo Holder will hold Combined Company Series B-1 Shares representing no more than 2.5% of the fully diluted equity of the Combined Company, and (ii) the Key Blue Sky Holder into Combined Company Series B-2 Shares, such that immediately following the Effective Time, the Key Blue Sky Holder will hold Combined Company Series B-2 Shares representing no more than 2.5% of the fully diluted equity of the Combined Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion contemplated by this Section 1.5 is conditioned upon, but not made pursuant to, the occurrence of the Merger, and neither the Combined Company Series B-1 Shares nor the Combined Company Series B-2 Shares issued in connection therewith will constitute payment or other consideration pursuant to or in connection with the Merger.

No specific provision, representation or warranty will limit the applicability of a more general provision, representation or warranty. It is the intent of the Parties hereto that each representation, warranty, covenant, condition and agreement contained in this Agreement will be given full, separate, and independent effect and that such provisions are cumulative. Each reference to “Material Adverse Effect” in Annex ‎II (Representations and Warranties of PRIVATECO) shall be deemed to mean a Material Adverse Effect on PRIVATECO for purposes of the definition thereof, and each reference to “Material Adverse Effect” in Annex ‎III (Representations and Warranties of PUBCO) shall be deemed to mean a Material Adverse Effect on PUBCO for purposes of the definition thereof.

At or immediately following the Effective Time (but in any event on the Closing Date), PUBCO will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the applicable Exchange Agent (i) the Combined Company ADSs in book entry form and the Combined Company Shares (which shall be in certificated form and deposited with Indeval, except for the Combined Company Series B Shares, which shall be in certified form and issued in the name of the relevant Key PRIVATECO Holders as per the Consideration Spreadsheet), in each case issuable pursuant to ‎Section 1.2 of the Agreement and this Annex ‎I, to which holders of PRIVATECO Shares will be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Fractional Consideration to which holders of PRIVATECO Shares will be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement ((i) and ‎(ii) collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). In connection with the deposit of the Exchange Fund, PUBCO shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the CPO Trustee the Combined Company Shares which will indirectly underlie the Combined Company ADSs to be issued as Merger Consideration hereunder and, upon deposit thereof, cause the CPO Trustee to issue the corresponding Combined Company CPOs in accordance with the CPO Trust Agreement and cause the ADS Depositary to issue such corresponding Combined Company ADSs in accordance with the ADS Deposit Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund will be invested by the applicable Exchange Agent as directed by the Combined Company, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the applicable Exchange Agent to the former holders of PRIVATECO Shares. Earnings resulting from such investments will be the sole and exclusive property of the Combined Company, and no part of such earnings will accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares. Any losses resulting from such investments shall not impact the Combined Company’s obligations under this Annex ‎I and in the event of any such losses, the Combined Company shall take all actions necessary to cause to deposit into the Exchange Fund sufficient Combined Company Securities or cash, as needed, to satisfy PUBCO’s obligations under this Section 1.6 of this Annex ‎I.

(b)               Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable before the Effective Time (and in any event, at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date), the Combined Company will cause the applicable Exchange Agent to mail to each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder at the address set forth opposite such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder’s name in the Consideration Spreadsheet: (i) the form Letter of Transmittal; (ii) the form Surrender Instructions; and (iii) (x) in the case of any Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder that is not a U.S. person (as such term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act), a form of investor questionnaire in form reasonably acceptable to PUBCO containing representations confirming that the holder is not a ‘U.S. person’ (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act), that the acquisition is being made in an ‘offshore transaction’ (as defined in Rule 902), and acknowledging the absence of any ‘directed selling efforts’ in the United States in accordance with Regulation S and (y) in the case of each other Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder, a form of investor questionnaire in form reasonably acceptable to PUBCO containing representations confirming reliance on the private offering exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, including, where applicable, the holder’s status as an ‘accredited investor’ (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and investment intent (including investment for the holder’s own account and not with a view to distribution) (either form of questionnaire contemplated by this clause (iii), an “Investor Questionnaire”). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the applicable Exchange Agent in accordance with the Surrender Instructions, and upon delivery of a Letter of Transmittal and Investor Questionnaire (demonstrating that issuance of the applicable Closing Share Consideration to such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder is permissible in reliance on Regulation S (for non-U.S. persons) or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (for U.S. persons), as applicable), in each case duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates (together with any such other customary documentation as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith), the holder of such Certificates will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each PRIVATECO Share formerly represented by such Certificates. Any Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to PRIVATECO Shares formerly represented by such Certificates. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition precedent of

 
I-4 
 

payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment will have paid any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or will have established to the satisfaction of the applicable Exchange Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable. Following the date of this Agreement, PUBCO shall prepare, and PRIVATECO shall be entitled to review and comment on, (A) a form of letter of transmittal for distribution to the Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders in accordance with this ‎Section 1.6(b) (as mutually agreed between PUBCO and PRIVATECO, the “Letter of Transmittal”), which Letter of Transmittal will (i) specify that delivery of Certificates must be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (if any) will pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates and a duly executed Investor Questionnaire (demonstrating that issuance of the applicable Closing Share Consideration to such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder is permissible in reliance on Regulation S (for non-U.S. persons) or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (for U.S. persons), as applicable) to the Exchange Agent, (ii) include a general release of claims against the Combined Company (in form acceptable to PUBCO) with respect to any ownership of debt, debt securities (including convertible securities) or Equity Interests in the Combined Company, and (iii) otherwise be in the form and have such other provisions as PUBCO or the applicable Exchange Agent may reasonably specify, and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration (as mutually agreed between PUBCO and PRIVATECO, the “Surrender Instructions”).

(c)               Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in PRIVATECO Shares. At the Effective Time, the corporate books, including the share registry book, of PRIVATECO will be closed and thereafter there will be no further registration of transfers of PRIVATECO Shares on the records of PRIVATECO. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such PRIVATECO Shares except as otherwise provided for herein (including the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration) or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Combined Company for any reason, then (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures specified herein) they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d)               Termination of Exchange Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following the first anniversary of the Effective Time, the Combined Company will be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest accrued with respect thereto) not disbursed to holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look only to the Combined Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration, including any Fractional Consideration, payable upon due surrender of their Certificates and compliance with the procedures in this Annex ‎I. If, prior to six years after the Effective Time (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of Certificates has not complied with the procedures in ‎Section 1.6(b) of this Annex ‎I to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Certificates will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Combined Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Combined Company nor any Exchange Agent will be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

 
I-5 
 

(e)               Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the applicable Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to ‎Section 1.2 of this Agreement and ‎Section 1.4 of this Annex ‎I; provided, however, that PUBCO may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a customary affidavit of loss and, if required by PUBCO or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against PUBCO, the Combined Company or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f)                Withholding Rights. Each of PRIVATECO, the Combined Company, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of PRIVATECO Shares or any other Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of PRIVATECO Shares or other Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. If an applicable withholding agent intends to deduct or withhold Tax (other than in respect of compensatory payments), it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide written notice to [***] at [***] (the “Seller Representative”) no later than 5 days prior to such deduction or withholding, and (ii) cooperate with the Seller Representative to minimize such deduction and withholding.

(g)               Securities Legends; Restricted Status. The Combined Company Securities issued as Merger Consideration will constitute ‘restricted securities’ within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may bear appropriate restrictive legends and be subject to customary transfer restrictions as required by the Securities Act, Regulation S and any applicable state or foreign securities or ‘blue sky’ laws. The Exchange Agent and the Combined Company shall be entitled to place and maintain such restrictive legends and stop-transfer notations on the applicable books and records as they determine in good faith to be necessary or advisable to comply with applicable Law.

(h)               Insufficient Documentation; Right to Withhold Issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Combined Company Securities shall be issued to any Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder unless and until the Exchange Agent has received from such holder a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, Surrender Instructions acknowledgement and, as applicable, an Investor Questionnaire and such other customary documentation as the Exchange Agent or the Combined Company may reasonably require to ensure that such issuance is exempt from registration under the Securities Act (including in reliance on Regulation S or Section 4(a)(2), as applicable) and complies with any applicable state or foreign securities or ‘blue sky’ laws.

 
I-6 
 

Section 1.7            No Fractional Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, no fraction of a Combined Company Share, Combined Company ADS or Combined Company CPO will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and in lieu thereof, each holder of record of PRIVATECO Shares who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Combined Company Share or Combined Company ADS pursuant to ‎Section 1.1 of the Agreement (after aggregating all fractional Combined Company Shares and Combined Company ADSs that otherwise would be received by such holder of record) shall instead receive an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying such fraction by the PUBCO Closing Price (in each case, such holder’s “Fractional Consideration”). The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional Combined Company Shares or Combined Company ADSs was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional Combined Company Shares, Combined Company ADSs or Combined Company CPOs.

Section 1.8            No Further Ownership Rights in PRIVATECO Shares. All Combined Company Securities issued or reserved for in the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Annex ‎I (including (i) any cash paid pursuant to ‎Section 1.6 of this Annex ‎I, and (ii) any Combined Company CPOs issued to underlie Combined Company ADSs issued as Merger Consideration or which may be issued to represent any Reserved Share Consideration) shall be deemed to have been issued or reserved (and paid), as applicable, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to PRIVATECO Shares. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of PRIVATECO shall be closed, and there shall be no further registrations of transfers of PRIVATECO Shares thereafter on the records of PRIVATECO or the Combined Company.

Section 1.9            Consideration Spreadsheet.

 

(a)               Prior to the execution of this Agreement, PRIVATECO has prepared and delivered to PUBCO the consideration spreadsheet attached hereto as Exhibit ‎E (the “Preliminary Consideration Spreadsheet”), which Preliminary Consideration Spreadsheet accurately sets forth, as of the date hereof and immediately prior to the Effective Time the following information (“Consideration Information”): (i) the name of each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder, (ii) the number of PRIVATECO Shares directly held by each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder as of immediately prior to the Closing, together with class and series thereof, (iii) the Combined Company Securities (in each case, specifying whether Combined Company ADSs, Combined Company Series A Shares or Combined Company Series B Shares and the quantities thereof) and any Fractional Consideration to which each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder is entitled as its share of Merger Consideration, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and PRIVATECO’s Organizational Documents, (iv) the jurisdiction of formation or nationality, as applicable, of each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder, (v) the name of each Noteholder, (vi) the number of PRIVATECO Shares to which each Noteholder would be entitled were the Convertible Notes to convert into PRIVATECO Shares immediately prior to the Closing, together with class and series thereof, (vii) the total Reserved Share Consideration and (viii) the amount of Reserved Share Consideration to which each Noteholder would be entitled if the Amended Notes were converted into Combined Company Securities following the Closing.

Part 800 with respect to “covered investment critical infrastructure,” as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.212; or (iii) maintains or collects, directly or indirectly, “sensitive personal data,” as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.241, of U.S. citizens; and, therefore, in turn, no member of the PRIVATECO Group is a “TID U.S. business” within the meaning of that term in 31 C.F.R. § 800.248.

Section 1.34         Outbound Investment Security Program. No member of the PRIVATECO Group is a “covered foreign person,” as that term is defined in 31 C.F.R. § 850.209. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the establishment of a “covered foreign person” or the engagement by a “person of a country of concern,” in a “covered activity,” and no member of the PRIVATECO Group currently engages, or has plans to engage, directly or indirectly, in a “covered activity,” as each such term is defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 850.

Section 1.35         Securities Law Matters.

(a)               No Registration; Private Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Investor Questionnaires delivered by the Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders and the truth and completeness of the representations made therein, the issuance of the Combined Company Securities as Merger Consideration to the Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders pursuant to this Agreement will be effected in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) offers and sales to Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders that are not U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) will be made in “offshore transactions” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act, and (ii) offers and sales to any Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders that are U.S. persons will be effected in private placement transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. PRIVATECO makes no representation in this Section 1.35(a) of this Annex II with respect to any facts exclusively within PUBCO’s or the Combined Company’s control.

(b)                 No General Solicitation; No Directed Selling Efforts. Neither PRIVATECO nor any member of the PRIVATECO Group, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or, to PRIVATECO’s knowledge, other Representatives, has engaged in any “general solicitation” or “general advertising” within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act with respect to the Transactions, including the offer or sale of any Combined Company Securities in the United States. With respect to offers and sales to be made in reliance on Regulation S, neither PRIVATECO nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged in any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) in the United States.

(c)               Offshore Transactions for Non-U.S. Holders. With respect to Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders that are not U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act), each such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder acquired and will receive its Combined Company Securities in an “offshore transaction” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) and at the time of the offer and sale to such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder, (i) PRIVATECO and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believed such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder was physically located outside the United States, and (ii) no offer to such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder was made to a person in the United States.

 
 II-28
 

(d)               U.S. Holders; Investment Representations. With respect to any Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder that is a U.S. person, PRIVATECO has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder an Investor Questionnaire in a form acceptable to PUBCO that includes customary representations reasonably requested by PUBCO to support an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, including, where applicable, such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder’s status as an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and investment intent. PRIVATECO has not knowingly waived any material deficiency in any such Investor Questionnaire.

(e)               No Integration. Neither PRIVATECO nor, to PRIVATECO’s knowledge, any person acting on its behalf has taken any action that would require the registration of the offer or sale of the Combined Company Securities to the Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders under the Securities Act by reason of the integration of such offer or sale with any other offering or sale of securities, whether by PRIVATECO or any other person.

(f)                Compliance with Exchange Mechanics; Holder Information. PRIVATECO has provided PUBCO and the Combined Company with true, complete and correct Consideration Information for all Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders in accordance with Section 1.9 of Annex I, including each Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder’s jurisdiction of formation or nationality and contact details, and has delivered (or caused to be delivered) to each such Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder the applicable Letter of Transmittal, Surrender Instructions and the applicable form of Investor Questionnaire. PRIVATECO has collected and made available to the Exchange Agent the duly executed Investor Questionnaires and other exchange documentation received from Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders to the extent required by Annex I of this Agreement.

(g)               Legends; Transfer Restrictions. PRIVATECO acknowledges that the Combined Company Securities issued in reliance on Regulation S or Section 4(a)(2) will be “restricted securities” under Rule 144 and may bear appropriate restrictive legends and be subject to customary transfer restrictions as required by the Securities Act, Regulation S and applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. PRIVATECO has not taken any action, and to PRIVATECO’s knowledge no action has been taken by any Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holder, that is inconsistent with the application of such legends and restrictions.

(h)               No Broker; No Compensation for Distribution. No member of the PRIVATECO Group nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or, to PRIVATECO’s knowledge, other Representatives has engaged any broker, finder or placement agent, or incurred any liability for any brokerage, finder’s or similar fee or commission, in connection with the issuance of the Combined Company Securities to the Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders, other than as disclosed pursuant to Section 1.29 of this Annex II.

 
 II-29
 

(i)                 Foreign and State Securities Law Compliance. PRIVATECO has not taken any action, and to PRIVATECO’s knowledge no action has been taken by any of its Representatives, that would cause the offer and sale of Combined Company Securities to the Pre-Closing PRIVATECO Holders to violate applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” laws, to the extent such compliance is within PRIVATECO’s control.

Section 1.36         No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in Annex ‎III (Representations and Warranties of PUBCO), PRIVATECO acknowledges that neither PUBCO nor any Representative of PUBCO makes, and PRIVATECO acknowledges that it has not relied upon or otherwise been induced by, any other express or implied representation or warranty by or on behalf of PUBCO or with respect to any other information provided or made available to PRIVATECO by or on behalf of PUBCO in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to PRIVATECO or its Representatives in data rooms, management presentations or similar information deliverables in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Accordingly, if either PRIVATECO or PUBCO fails to promptly pay any amounts due pursuant to ‎Section 1.5 of this Annex IX (Termination) and, in order to obtain such payment, the Party entitled to payment commences a suit that results in a judgment against the other Party for the amounts set forth in ‎Section 1.5 of this ‎Annex IX (Termination), the Party against whom such judgment is rendered shall pay to the prevailing Party interest on the amounts due pursuant to ‎Section 1.5 of this Annex ‎IX from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
