In the event that either the Sellers or the Purchaser become legally compelled to disclose any information or material subject to this Section 8.02 (collectively, “Confidential

Information”), such party shall provide the other party with prompt notice thereof, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such disclosure, so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.02. Each party hereto shall use, at the request of the other party, all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy in respect thereof. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the respective party waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.02, the other party shall furnish only that part of the Confidential Information which it is advised by written opinion of counsel to be legally required and will exercise its best efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

8.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

8.14 Cooperation, Additional Documentation. The parties hereto agree to execute and deliver any and all public or private documents and instruments, which may be necessary or required in order to complete and achieve the transactions contemplated herein and in the Operative Agreements.

8.15 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Each party hereby irrevocably waives to the extent permitted by Law its right to a jury trial in any Action or Proceeding arising as a result of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Operative Agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers and the Purchaser agree to exercise reasonable and good faith efforts to resolve any disputes regarding this Agreement or the Operative Agreements within a period of ten (10) Business Days following delivery of notice to the other party of the foundations for any such dispute. If the Sellers and Purchaser do not resolve such contest or dispute during such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Sellers and the Purchaser irrevocably agree to submit the contested matter to arbitration to be held in Miami, Florida, United States of America. Such arbitration provision shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. Selection of the arbitrators shall be as follows: the Purchaser shall appoint one (1) arbitrator within ten (10) days, the Sellers shall appoint another arbitrator within the same ten (10) day period and the two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, appoint a third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman, within a further ten (10) day period immediately following the aforesaid ten (10) day period. If the third arbitrator is not so appointed within that further ten (10) day period, either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association for appointment of the third arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. There shall be no depositions. An initial hearing will be scheduled within twenty (20) days after the arbitration panel is constituted. At this initial hearing, the parties in the arbitration will produce all of their respective documents. The arbitration hearings must conclude within one hundred and eighty (180) days after this initial hearing. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, and shall be governed for all procedural matters by the laws of the State of Florida. The award or decision of the arbitrators shall be in writing and state the reasons upon which it is based. The arbitration award shall be rendered within thirty (30) days after the last arbitration hearing. Each of the parties hereto agrees to abide by the aforesaid time periods and to instruct the arbitrators to abide by such time periods. The arbitration award may be made public only with the consent of the Parties or if required by applicable laws or regulations (provided, however, the parties hereto shall have the right to disclose same to each party’s regulators or other governmental authorities if required by applicable regulation or Law, or requested by such regulators or governmental authorities). Judgment upon the award or decision may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except for each party’s own attorney’s fees and any expenses incurred in producing its own witnesses, all other administrative expenses shall be divided equally among the parties involved.

If any of the parties hereto, notwithstanding the foregoing, should attempt either to resolve any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement or any of the Operative Agreement in a court of law or equity (the “Soliciting Party”), or to forestall, preempt, or prevent arbitration of any such dispute by resort to the process of a court of law or equity, and such dispute is ultimately determined to be arbitrable by such court of law or equity, the arbitrators shall include in their award an amount for the other party (the “Non Soliciting Party”) equal to all of that other party’s costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with such arbitrability determination. All notices to be given in connection with any arbitration hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent following the notice provisions described in Section 8.01 hereof.

8.16 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence for all deadlines set forth in this Agreement.

8.17 No Representation or Warranties. In no event shall the Sellers or the Seller Parties have, incur or become subject to, any liability with respect to the Acquired Assets after the Closing Date except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, and the Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims with respect thereto. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has conducted and continues to conduct its own investigation and due diligence with respect to the Acquired Assets and has relied and will rely for the Closing exclusively on the results of such due diligence as concerns its decision to enter into this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which it is a party. THE SELLERS HAVE NOT MADE AND DO NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS, CONDITION, DESIGN OR OPERATION OF THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, THEIR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THE QUALITY OR CAPACITY OF THE MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP IN THE ACQUIRED ASSETS, AND ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE IV ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements.

8.18 Bulk Sales. The Purchaser hereby expressly waives compliance by the Sellers with any requirements or provisions of any bulk sales Law of any jurisdiction that may be otherwise applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.19 Counterparts. This Agreement and the Operative Agreements may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.20 Specific Performance. (a) The Purchaser acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser and that any such breach would cause the Sellers, irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Purchaser also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Purchaser, the Sellers shall be entitled to specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available to such other parties at law or in equity.

(b) The Sellers acknowledge that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by the Sellers and that any such breach would cause the Purchaser, irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Sellers also agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Sellers, the Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available to such other parties at law or in equity.

8.21 Post-Closing Covenants. The Purchaser covenants and agrees that for a term of three (3) months from the Closing Date, (i) the Purchaser will provide the Sellers with free

storage for chassis and containers that do not form part of the Acquired Assets and (ii) the Purchaser will work in good faith and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide service continuity for international, domestic, and any other third party carriers currently serviced by the Sellers for the period covering any termination notice provided by the Sellers to such third parties up to the actual termination date of any such service contracts.

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that during any such transitional periods and in connection with item (ii) above, the Purchaser will secure any applicable insurance coverage currently required by any existing contracts with such third party carriers and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Sellers harmless for any and all actions carried out or omissions by the Purchaser during such transition periods.

Any and all payments made by the third party carriers during such transition periods in which the Purchaser provides service continuity on the Sellers’ behalf shall be forwarded by the Sellers to the Purchaser. Should the third party carriers fail to make any such referenced payments to the Sellers for services rendered by the Purchaser, the Sellers agree to assign to the Purchaser within a commercially reasonable time any and all collection claim rights the Sellers may have in order to allow the Purchaser to collect any such dues. The Sellers will not, and the Purchaser agrees to, carry out any collection actions with regards to such dues.

For avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall not be deemed to convey or transfer to the Purchaser under this Agreement any agreements, purchase orders or contracts with any such third party carriers. However, the Purchaser may contract directly and independently with international, domestic and any other third party carriers regarding stevedoring services.

The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the contents of this Section 8.21 are not conditions to Closing.

8.22 Limited Guaranty. (a) Purchaser covenants and agrees that the obligations of Horizon and Horizon PR to the Purchaser under this Agreement are (i) several and independent and (ii) not in any way joint and several (“solidaria”) obligations.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Horizon hereby agrees with the Purchaser to guarantee (the “Limited Guaranty”) all of the obligations of Horizon PR to the Purchaser under this Agreement (“Guaranteed Obligations”) subject to the following terms, limitations and conditions:

(i)

the Purchaser hereby agrees that it will not require any performance by Horizon under this Limited Guaranty nor bring any action against Horizon to enforce the Limited Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations without first exhausting any and all rights that the Purchaser may have against Horizon PR (permitting Horizon to require and demand application (“excusión”) in respect of the assets and the property of Horizon PR);

(ii)

this Limited Guaranty shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (the “Limited Guaranty Termination Date”): (A) any of the Termination Events (as defined below) and (B) nine (9) months from the Closing Date;

(iii)

this Limited Guaranty may be enforced to collect money damages only and in no event shall Horizon’s aggregate liability under this Limited Guaranty exceed the Purchase Price actually paid by Purchaser to Horizon, less the aggregate amount actually paid by Horizon PR to Purchaser for any of Horizon PR’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Cap”);

(i)

assert in any litigation, arbitration or other judicial proceeding that the provisions of this Section 8.22 are illegal or invalid in whole or in part;

(ii)

assert that Horizon is liable under the Guaranteed Obligations in excess of the Cap; or

(iii)

assert any theory of liability against Horizon with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, other than pursuant to the express terms of Section 8.22(b), then

(x)

the obligations of Horizon under Section 8.22(b) shall terminate ab initio and be null and void;

(y)

if Horizon has previously made any payments with its own funds under the Limited Guaranty, it shall be entitled to recover such payments from Purchaser; and

(z)

Horizon shall not have any liability to Purchaser under Section 8.22(b).

(d) Horizon PR agrees to maintain its corporate existence up to the Limited Guaranty Termination Date. Should Horizon PR terminate its corporate existence prior to the Limited Guaranty Termination Date, then the limitations set forth in Section 8.22(b)(i) shall no longer be applicable, and Purchaser shall be entitled to seek performance under the Limited Guaranty directly from Horizon.
