pursuant to an Additional Payment (an “Overdue Amount”), (i) the Purchaser shall

to the Seller, the full, complete and timely compliance with and performance by
the Purchaser of the obligations of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.2.4

prepare and deliver to the Seller the following preliminary statements
(the “Preliminary Statements”), together with reasonable supporting
documentation: (A) a statement of the Closing NWC (the “Preliminary Closing
NWC”) and (B) a statement of the Closing Indebtedness (the “Preliminary Closing
Indebtedness”). The Preliminary Statements shall be prepared in accordance with
BR GAAP and the definitions of Closing NWC and Closing Indebtedness contained
herein.

4.3.2. The Seller shall have fifteen (15) days following delivery to the Seller
of the Preliminary Statements to review the Preliminary Statements, and to
notify the Purchaser if it believes that (A) any of the Preliminary Statements
contain mathematical or other errors or (B) the calculation of Closing NWC or
Closing Indebtedness therein was not in accordance with the definition(s)
thereof contained herein, and, in each case, Seller’s notice shall specify the
reasons therefor in reasonable detail. If the Seller fails to properly notify
the Purchaser of any such dispute with respect to any or all Preliminary
Statements within such fifteen (15) day period, such Preliminary Statements and
the amounts reflected therein shall be deemed final.

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the event that the Seller shall so notify the Purchaser of any dispute, the
Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute
as promptly as possible, and upon such resolution, if any, any adjustments to
such Preliminary Statements and the amounts reflected therein shall be made in
accordance with the agreement of the Purchaser and the Seller.

4.3.3. If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve any such dispute
within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Purchaser and the Seller
shall mutually agree in writing) of the Seller’s delivery of such notice, such
dispute shall be resolved by an independent internationally recognized
accounting firm mutually selected by the Parties (the “Independent Accounting
Firm”), and such determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The
Seller and the Purchaser will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the costs of the
Independent Accounting Firm’s services. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be
instructed to use every reasonable commercial effort to perform its services
within thirty (30) days of submission of the applicable Preliminary Statement(s)
to it and, in any case, as promptly as practicable after such submission. The
Independent Accounting Firm shall (A) act as an expert in accounting, and not as
an arbitrator, to resolve only the specific items in dispute by the Parties,
(B) render its determination in accordance with this Agreement and otherwise in
accordance with BR GAAP, (C) determine any adjustment to the Base Purchase Price
for each disputed item within the range of values assigned to each such disputed
item in the Preliminary Statements and the Seller’s notice delivered pursuant to
Section 4.3.2, respectively, and (D) render its determination with respect to
the items in dispute in a written report that specifies the conclusions of the
Independent Accounting Firm as to each item in dispute and the resulting
adjustment. The Parties will furnish to each other and to the Independent
Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to
the disputed items as the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably request and
are available to such Party (or its independent auditor) and will be afforded
the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material
related to the disputed items and to discuss the disputed items with the
Independent Accounting Firm.

4.3.4. The “Post-Closing Adjustment” means an amount equal to, without
duplication, zero (i) plus the Final Closing NWC (ii) minus the Final Closing
Indebtedness. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount, then the
Purchaser shall pay the Seller the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the
Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative amount, then Seller shall pay the
Purchaser the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment. The Purchaser or the
Seller, as the case may be, shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the final
determination of the Final Closing NWC and Final Indebtedness pursuant to this
Section 4.3, make payment to the other by wire transfer in immediately available
funds of the equivalent in Reais to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as determined
pursuant to this Section 4.3.4, determined at the Exchange Rate on the date of
payment.

4.4. Taxes

Each Party will be responsible, according to applicable Law, for calculating,
assessing, withholding and paying all Taxes within its respective scope of
liability in connection with this Agreement. The Purchase Price will neither be
increased nor decreased as a result of any Taxes owed or otherwise payable by
any of the Parties in connection with this Agreement.

29,000,000) and are less than forty-five million US Dollars (US$ 45,000,000),

(disregarding the conversion of such amounts into Reais pursuant to the terms of
such agreement) for services rendered during the Second Year Additional Payment
Calculation Period equal or exceed forty-five million US Dollars (US$
45,000,000), the Second Year Additional Payment shall equal the sum of (x) two
million US Dollars (US$ 2,000,000) plus (y) the product of (A) twenty percent
(20%) multiplied by (B) an amount equal to (1) the revenues actually received by
the Company pursuant to the Aerial Services Agreement (as determined in
accordance with BR GAAP) for the applicable Calculation Period minus
(2) forty-five million US Dollars (US$ 45,000,000); provided, that in no event
shall the Second Year Additional Payment exceed five million US Dollars (US$
5,000,000).

4.5.3. Third Year Additional Payment. The “Third Year Additional Payment” shall
be calculated as follows:

 

(i) If the US Dollar revenues actually received by the Company on or before the
Third Year Additional Payment Date pursuant to the Aerial Services Agreement

such agreement) for services rendered during the Third Year Additional Payment
Calculation Period equal or exceed twenty-nine million US Dollars (US$
29,000,000) and are less than forty-five million US Dollars (US$ 45,000,000),

half percent (12.5%) multiplied by (y) an amount equal to (1) the revenues
actually received by the Company pursuant to the Aerial Services Agreement (as
determined in accordance with BR GAAP) for the applicable Calculation Period
minus (2) twenty-nine million US Dollars (US$ 29,000,000); or

 

(ii) If the US Dollar revenues actually received by the Company on or before the

Calculation Period equal or exceed forty-five million US Dollars (US$
45,000,000), the Third Year Additional Payment shall equal the sum of (x) two

5,000,000).

4.5.4. For the avoidance of doubt, if the US Dollar revenues actually received

the Amended and Restated Leases and the Maintenance and Other Services
Agreement, as applicable, by the Additional Payment Date applicable to a
Calculation Period is less than twenty-nine million US Dollars (US$ 29,000,000)
(disregarding the conversion of such amounts into Reais pursuant to the terms of
such agreements), then the Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay to the Seller
an Additional Payment with respect to such Calculation Period.

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.5.5. The Purchaser’s obligation to pay each of the Additional Payments to the
Seller in accordance with this Section 4.5 is an independent obligation of the
Purchaser and is not otherwise conditioned or contingent upon the satisfaction
of any conditions precedent to any preceding or subsequent Additional Payment
and the obligation to pay an Additional Payment to the Seller shall not obligate
the Purchaser to pay any preceding or subsequent Additional Payment. For the
avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the conditions precedent to the
payment of the First Year Additional Payment are not satisfied, but the
conditions precedent to the payment of the Second Year Additional Payment are
satisfied, then the Purchaser would be obligated to pay the Second Year
Additional Payment for which the corresponding conditions precedent have been
satisfied, and not the First Year Additional Payment.

of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Chamber”) in force at the time of
submission of the request for arbitration. The Chamber shall administrate the
arbitral proceedings.

20.3. The seat of the arbitration shall be the City of Miami, State of Florida,
and the language of the arbitration shall be English.

20.4. The existence of the arbitral proceedings and any document or information
disclosed within the same shall remain confidential.

20.5. The arbitral tribunal will be composed by three (3) arbitrators to be
appointed according to the Rules.

20.6. The arbitral tribunal shall determine, in the final arbitral award, the
arbitration costs, condemning the losing Party to bear such costs in full,
including, inter alia, the administrative expenses, the arbitrators’ fees and
all expenses incurred with the Parties’ defenses (e.g., attorney’s fees,
expert-witnesses fees, travelling expenses, etc.).

20.7. The Parties agree to voluntarily comply with the decision contained in the
award to be rendered by the arbitral tribunal. Should any Party fail to
voluntarily comply with the award within thirty (30) days of its execution, the
defaulting Party shall incur in the following penalties, cumulatively:

 

(i) if the award provides for a condemnation to pay a given sum in cash, the
amount fixed in the award shall be accrued of 10%, without prejudice to the
application of delay interests and of money value readjustment until payment is
effected; and

 

(ii) if the award provides for a condemnation to an affirmative or a negative
injunction, the award shall also provide for a liquidated damages clause, which
the condemned Party shall incur, if it fails to voluntarily comply with the
award within thirty (30) consecutive days.

20.8. If there are two or more disputes between the Parties in connection with
this Agreement that are substantially equal or connected by facts or common

Disputes shall be consolidated into one single arbitral proceeding and the
Parties hereby agree to take all reasonable measures (including the execution of
consolidation agreements or of addenda to this Agreement) that are necessary to
give effect to the consolidation hereby agreed. If a Related Dispute is
submitted to arbitration after the signature of the Terms of Reference, the new
Related Dispute shall be heard and resolved by the same arbitrators who were
appointed in the first Related Dispute, if possible.

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20.9. Notwithstanding the previous provisions, any of the Parties may also recur
to any courts with jurisdiction over the matter exclusively in the cases listed

arbitration as the sole means of dispute resolution chosen by the Parties:

 

(i) ensure the institution of the arbitration;

 

(ii) grant any preliminary injunctive relief;

 

(iii) require the performance of any obligation to deliver, or any positive or
negative covenants included in this Agreement, that may be required in the

461-A, 621 and 632 of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code. Any objections to the
application for specific performance or any requests for damages resulting from
noncompliance with such obligations shall be submitted to arbitration as
provided for in this Section 20;

 

(iv) enforce any decision from the arbitral tribunal, including, but not limited
to, the arbitral award; and

 

(v) file a request to set aside the arbitral award, as allowed by Law.

20.10. The Parties agree that the submission of a request for arbitration,
according to the Rules, shall be considered tantamount to the filing of a main
lawsuit for the purposes of article 806 of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code.
Should the Parties resort to state courts, according to this Section 20, the
Parties hereby chose the Judiciary District of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de
Janeiro as the only one with jurisdiction to hear and decide such questions,
except in case of preliminary injunctions, which may be filed before any court
with jurisdiction over the matter, including the Central Court of Rio de
Janeiro.

20.11. In case this Agreement or any part of it is assigned or transferred to a
third party, such third party shall automatically be bound by the provisions of
this arbitration clause.

20.12. The Company declares hereby that it is fully aware of the terms provided
in the present Section 20 and agrees to submit to arbitration according to the
terms herein, whenever necessary.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Parties sign this Agreement in three (3) original copies
of similar form and contents, for one single effect, in the presence of the two
(2) undersigned witnesses.
