Agreement, in the case of non-compliance with the obligations of this preliminary agreement.



2.7.2. If the Second Identified Party finds problems in the final inspection, it shall notify
in writing the First Identified Party for it to immediately correct eventual faults in the Works.
The First Identified Party shall, within a period of 24 hours counted from receipt of the

corrections and performance of a new inspection.



2.7.2.1 If, after handing over the property, problems are found in the property, the Second
Identified Party shall inform the First Identified Party for it to immediately correct the faults

2.10. The First Identified Party is responsible for obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy,
or any document that replaces it, as well as obtaining the Fire Department Inspection Certificate,
by the date of the final inspection to receive and accept the property.



 


 









 





2.11. The Second Identified Party may not refuse to receive the property or fail to execute
the lease agreement, if the First
Identified Party concludes the Works provided in the Plan and Description attached, but does
not obtain the Certificate of Occupancy or the Fire Department Inspection Certificate by the date
of the final inspection, because of the adaptations, facilities or implantations that the Second
Identified Party may possibly still be concluding in the property under clause 2.9., and that may
prevent obtaining the documents.



2.12. In the case set forth in clause 2.11, the First Identified Party shall obtain the
Certificate of Occupancy and the Fire Department Inspection Certificate as soon as the Second
Identified Party concludes the works of adaptations, facilities or implantations that prevented
obtaining the respective documents.




3. LEASE AGREEMENT



3.1. After the Works projected in the Plan and Description included in the Attachment are
concluded, and after Delivery and Acceptance of the property by the Second Identified Party under
clause 2.7, the parties hereby undertake to execute the Lease agreement, the clauses and conditions
of which are set forth in the Form of Lease Agreement included in the Attachment, which is an
integral part of this instrument.



3.2. Provided that the obligations of this instrument are fulfilled, neither of the parties
can refuse to execute the Lease Agreement, and the innocent party may demand fulfillment of the
agreed, or terminate this instrument, and, in this event, it shall be entitled to receive the fine

receive from the reluctant party, as pre-determined losses and damages, a fine of one million reais
(R$1.000.000,00).



4.1.1. The parties hereby declare that the setting of the penalty clause took into account the
nature and purpose of the business, since the characteristics of the building were designed and
made to order to fulfill the needs of the Second Identified Company, which in its turn, directed
its entire strategic business plan towards the occupation of the property
after the conclusion of its construction, and thus there is no reason to speak of excessive
settlement, and the parties waive any request for equitable reduction of the penalty.



 


 









 






5. VALUE OF THE RENT



5.1. The monthly rent to be paid by the Second Identified Party when the lease agreement is
executed, shall be the result of the multiplication of the amount of ninety four thousand and five

period from March 04, 2009 to the date of conclusion of the works and receipt of the property by

agreement, save because of contractual non-performance through the sole fault of the Second

especially in the case of persistent delay in payment of the rent, this being considered as

removal thereof does not cause damage to the leased property, under clause 4.3.



2. DURATION

delivery of the property by LESSOR to LESSEE, planned to occur on April 26, 2010.

exception of the increase in the amount of the rent, set forth in Clause 2.2.1 below.

judicial or extrajudicial formality.



3. RENT



3.1. The initial monthly rent shall be the result of the multiplication of the amount of
ninety four thousand and five hundred reais (R$94.500,00) by the National Index of Civil
Construction (INCC) accumulated over the period from March 04, 2009 to the date of execution
hereof.



 


2









 





3.1.1. If on the date of execution hereof the National Index of Civil Construction
applicable to the calculation of the initial rent has not yet been disclosed, it will be set
based on the accumulated variation of the twelve (12) last indexes published, and the adjustment,
whether positive or negative, shall be made within three (3) business days of the publication of
the index until then not disclosed.



3.2. LESSEE shall have a grace period for payment of the rent in the three (3) first months
of the lease, counted from the effective date of handing over the property.



3.3. The monthly rents shall be paid always on the third (3rd) business day of

first rent due to LESSOR, which shall be paid proportionally to the leasing period of the
prior month, by means of bank deposit in a current account to be indicated in due course by
LESSOR, and the settlement shall occur by means of the confirmation by the bank of the
effective credit to the account of the creditor.

the positive variation of the IGP-M published by the FGV and interest at the rate of one percent
(1%) per month, charged pro rata die.

constitute default of LESSEE, irrespective of notification, judicial or extrajudicial
notice, and LESSOR shall have the right to file an EVICTION ACTION FOR LACK OF
PAYMENT, being obligated to pay, in addition to the amount due, all the costs, legal fees and
possible damages related to the property, in the event of vacancy.



3.6. Receiving the rents and other lease charges after the term, or for an amount lower than
that stipulated in this agreement, shall represent mere waiver by LESSOR, and in no case
shall constitute novation, renewal, or change in the contractual provisions.



 


3









 





3.6.1. Even if there is tolerance by LESSOR for delays in payment of the rent,
persistent delays in payment of the rent, considered as such more than five (05) occurrences
during the term of the agreement, shall be considered serious infringement and contractual
non-performance for all the purposes of this agreement.

established in law for leases of this nature, currently annual, as of the date of execution of
this agreement, which shall occur upon the effective handing over of the property, irrespective

(IGPM), published by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), or in the absence of such index,
another one shall be chosen that best reflects the inflation of the period.



3.8. Whenever the law reduces the minimum periodicity to apply the adjustments for leases of
the nature hereof, a new periodicity shall be automatically applied to this agreement, including
the possible application of monthly adjustment of the lease due.



3.9. The adjustment of the rent pursuant to the criteria above shall be automatic, waiving
any type of communication to LESSEE.



3.10. Upon the occurrence of rent adjustments, if up to the date of payment the applicable
index has not been disclosed, the rent shall be adjusted based on the accumulated variation of
the twelve (12) last indexes published, and the adjustment, whether positive or negative, shall
be made within three (3) business days of the publication of the index until then not disclosed.

structure of the property and the limitations determined by the legislation in force, zoning,
environmental, sound pollution and other regulations, all of which LESSEE is fully aware

make modifications in the property, with prior authorization in writing from LESSOR, with
the purpose of better adapting it to its activities, always, however, obeying the restrictions of
the legal regulations, it being certain that the necessary improvements shall be automatically
and immediately incorporated into the property, becoming a benefit to LESSOR, even if

property, or right of indemnification to LESSEE. The betterments and amenities may be
removed by LESSEE, provided that their removal does not cause damage to the leased property.

the improvements or modifications made to the property with its consent in writing, be removed at
the expense of LESSEE.



4.5. It is certain that, in the case of introduction of the referenced improvements, no
responsibility or burden shall accrue to LESSOR, whether with respect to the public
