case all or part of the Account Funds, or the Escrow Account, is pledged, seized
or, in any other way, committed according to any order from a Government
Authority, or if the release/escrow of the Account Funds is suspended or

with the provisions of such order, without any obligation to challenge said
order or obtain
  
  any
consent from the Parties before complying therewith, and such compliance shall
not imply any liability of the Escrow Agent to the Parties or any other
person.
 
 6.2.3.  The
Escrow Agent does not make any representations with respect to the validity,
value, authenticity or enforceability of any document, notice or instrument
maintained by or delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this

contracting parties will be subsidiarily and individually liable for
indemnifying and releasing the Escrow Agent in connection with all and any loss,
liability, claim, action, damages and expenses, including justified lawyers’
fees and disbursements, directly or indirectly related to this Escrow Agreement,
except if such damages, losses or expenses are caused by willful misconduct of
the Escrow Agent in performing its activities and obligations according to this
Escrow Agreement, which willful misconduct is attributed by a final decision
transited in rem
judicatam. The Parties acknowledge and agree, and the Escrow Agent is
aware that the Escrow Agent will be liable only for such losses, damages or
expenses resulting from the final and unappealable decision of a Governmental
Authority (including legal costs and lawyers’ fees). Notwithstanding any

other qualified persons selected and contracted by it. The Escrow Agent will not
be liable for any action, act or omission performed, in good faith, according to
the advice or opinion of any of these lawyers, accountants and other qualified
persons. In the case the Escrow Agent is not sure about its duties or
obligations, as stipulated herein, or if it receives instructions or claims from
a Party of this instrument,
  
  which, in
the Escrow Agent’s opinion conflict with any provisions of this Escrow
Agreement, or in the event of conflict between the Parties and/or any natural
person or legal entity, with respect to the sums and documents held pursuant to
the terms hereof, the Escrow Agent will be entitled to, at its sole discretion,
abstain from taking any steps and its only obligations will be to safely keep
all the Account Funds while such controversy or conflict lasts, until it
receives (a) precise and joint written instructions from the Escrow Account
Holder and the Escrow Account Beneficiary (in the case of Clause 4.2 ̧ only
from  the Escrow Account Holder) or (b) a judicial or Governmental
Authority’s order also with precise instructions, but in this case, the Escrow
Agent shall promptly inform the Parties in writing about its not accepting an
instruction from such Parties. In the case of (b), the Escrow Agent may choose,
at its sole discretion, to deposit the asset held in a judicial deposit account.
The costs and expenses (including lawyers’ fees and legal costs) incurred in
connection with such proceedings shall be paid by the other Parties of this
Escrow Agreement, other than the Escrow Agent, and will be considered as
obligations of the same.
 
 6.2.9  The
Escrow Agent will be entitled to trust any order, sentence, certificate, claim,
notification, term or other type of written instrument delivered thereto as
contemplated herein, without being obliged to check the authenticity or
precision of the facts declared therein or their adequacy or any other
instrument or validity of the respective services. The Escrow Agentmay act based on any

Agent. The Parties hereby agree to protect, defend and keep the Escrow
Agent, its directors, advisors, agents and employees from and against all and
any costs, losses, claims, damages, disbursements, liabilities and expenses,
including reasonable investigation costs, legal costs and lawyers’ fees, which
may be imposed upon or incurred by the  Escrow Agent in connection
with its acceptance of, or appointment as, Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms
of this instrument, or in connection with the performance of its duties and
obligations assumed herein, including any litigation resulting from this Escrow
Agreement or involving its purpose, as well as any matters in connection with
the transactions among the Parties according to the terms of the SPA, provided
that, however, such indemnity against losses does not cover damages, losses,
claims, disbursements, responsibilities and damages resulting from willful
misconduct of the Escrow Agent, according to Clause 6.2.7. These
indemnity provisions shall remain in force after the termination of this Escrow
Agreement or resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent as escrow agent,

Parties (or by the competent court, or Governmental Authority, in compliance

resulting from this Escrow Agreement. The resignation of the Escrow Agent will
become effective upon the appointment of the successor (including by the
competent court or Governmental Authority, in compliance with Clause 10), as agreed
by the Parties. If  the Escrow Account Holder  and Escrow

Unibanco, which choice must fall on the bank that accepts to act according to
the terms hereof for the lowest fees, and the withdrawing Escrow Agent shall
immediately transfer all the Account Funds to an account of
the  Escrow Account Holder with such successor. The Escrow Agent will
not be liable for keeping and preserving the Account Funds as from the 60th
(sixtieth) day after the date of delivery of its written resignation notice to
the Parties.

Agent. As a result of the performance by the Escrow Agent of the
functions contemplated in this Escrow Agreement, the Parties agree that the
Escrow Agent will be entitled to receive from the Escrow Account Holder a
