TOGA time limit (JAR vs FAR)

According JAR, TOGA is certified for use for a maximum of 10 minutes in case of an engine failure at take off. On the other hand ,and as far as I know, FAR only allows 5 minutes in the same scenario.
So, for the same enviromental conditions and aircraft/engine type, the [U]Obstacle Limited TO Mass might be different (higher)for the company operating according JAR than for the one complying with FAR.
I donīt believe this could really happens, it might be a great disadvantage for americans.
Can anybody out there explain me that?

Thank you in advance.
