(ii) Response to Direct Claim. Each Indemnifying Party shall respond  to the Direct Claim Notice within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt of such notice, stating  whether it agrees or disagrees with the content of the Direct Claim Notice and the resulting  indemnification obligation.    (A) If an Indemnifying Party expressly acknowledges its  responsibility for the payment of the Loss concerned and agrees with the amount  provided in the Direct Claim Notice, such Indemnifying Party shall pay the  Indemnifiable Party the indemnity claimed, as provided for in Section 9.5(c). If an  Indemnifying Party disputes only part of the amount claimed in the Direct Claim  Notice, the uncontested amount will become due by such Indemnifying Party and  shall be paid to the Indemnifiable Party as provided for in Section 9.5(c).  Certain identified information marked with [***] has been excluded from this exhibit because it is not material and is of the  type that the registrant treats as private and confidential.

Failure to  promptly respond to a Third Party’s Claim Notice by any Indemnifying Party will not be  considered as an acceptance by such Indemnifying Party of the obligation to indemnify the Loss  resulting from the respective Third Party’s Claim, but shall be deemed to waive such Indemnifying  Party’s right to conduct the defense of the Third Party’s Claim.    (A) If any Indemnifying Party fails to timely respond to a Third  Party’s Claim Notice or disputes all or a portion of a Third Party’s Claim Notice or  amount of Losses set forth therein, such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifiable  Party shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to reach agreement on the disputed  Loss within ten (10) Business Days of such Indemnifying Party’s response to the  Third Party Claim Notice or the expiration of the Third Party Claim Response  Certain identified information marked with [***] has been excluded from this exhibit because it is not material and is of the  type that the registrant treats as private and confidential.

Section 10.12 Knowledge of Sellers.

Any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising  out of, or directly or indirectly related to this Agreement, among them those related to its existence,  validity, effectiveness, enforceability, interpretation, compliance, default or extinction, even if not  involving all the Parties (“Dispute”), shall be definitively resolved by arbitration administered by  the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Chamber”), which shall administer and conduct the  arbitration procedure in accordance with its Arbitration Rules (“Rules”), and with Brazilian Law  No. 9,307, of September 23, 1996.  (a) The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three (3) arbitrators (the “Arbitral  Tribunal”). The claimant(s), on one side, and the respondent(s), on the other side, shall choose its  respective arbitrator, according to the Rules, and the arbitrators appointed by the Parties shall  collectively and in mutual consent appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be the Chairman of the  Arbitral Tribunal.

82      (c) The arbitration shall be held in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo,  Brazil. If the Parties or the Arbitral Tribunal, however, deem necessary, the practice of acts (such  as taking of evidence or conduction of hearings) in a different place than the seat of arbitration,  the Arbitral Tribunal shall determine, with justification, the practice of acts in other locations.  (d) The arbitration award shall be definitive and shall bind the Parties, their  successors and assignees. The Parties expressly waive any type of appeal against the arbitration  award, except the request for correction of material error or clarification of obscurity, doubt,  contradiction or omission of the arbitration award, as provided in article 30 of Brazilian Law No.  9,307, of September 23, 1996.

(h) Any of the Parties is entitled to file with the competent judicial authority  any injunction or preliminary relief needed. Such filing shall not affect the existence, validity and  effectiveness of the arbitration agreement, nor will represent any waiver of the arbitration and the  enforceability of the arbitral awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the merits of the dispute shall  be the full and exclusive competence of the Arbitral Tribunal. Once the Arbitral Tribunal is  constituted, it shall have the power to maintain, terminate, modify or extend the contents of the  injunction of preliminary relief granted.  (i) Unless the Parties expressly agree in writing stating otherwise and unless  required by applicable Law, the Parties, their respective representatives, the witnesses, experts,  technical assistants, secretaries of the Chamber and the Arbitration Tribunal undertake, as general  principle, to keep confidential the existence, content and all the reports and awards pertinent to the  arbitration procedure, along with all material used therein and created for the purposes pertinent  to it, as well as other documents produced by the other Party during the arbitration procedurewhich  in other way are not of public domain – except if and to the extent that this disclosure might be  required from a Party, as a consequence of a legal duty, seeking protection or legal right, execution  or questioning of a decision in legal procedures in good faith before a judicial authority.    (j) For the measures provided in Section 10.14(h) above, for any action brought  to compel submission of a controversy related to this Agreement to arbitration, for the enforcement  of any decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal and for the enforcement of the arbitration award, the  Parties elect the exclusive venue of the Judicial District of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, except  if such court does not have competent jurisdiction over the matter.

83      upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of  any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if  available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do  not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordancewith  their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the  valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Parties shall be entitled to an  injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of  this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each  case, to the extent permitted by Law, without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition  to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity; it being understood that the  Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the other Parties’ obligation to pay the Buyer’s  Termination Fee or the Sellers’ Termination Fee (as the case may be) pursuant to Section 8.2.    Section 10.16 No Offset. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, no Party  shall have any right to offset against any amount payable hereunder to the other Party or Parties or  any of such Party’s Affiliates or Parties’ respective Affiliates, or otherwise reduce any amount  payable hereunder as a result of, any amount owing by the other Party or Parties or any of its or  their respective Affiliates to such Party or any of its Affiliates.    Section 10.17 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the  contrary, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no Person who is not a Party, including any past,  present or future director, officer, agent, employee or other Representative of any Seller, any past,  present or future shareholder, partner or member of any Seller or any Affiliate, successor or  assignee of any of the foregoing Persons (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), in each case  solely in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, at  Law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against  its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related  to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents (as the case may be) or for any claim based  on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents (as the case  may be) or the negotiation or execution hereof or thereof, and Buyer hereby waives and releases  all such liabilities, claims and obligations against all such Non-Recourse Parties, in each case  solely in such Person’s capacity as such. In addition, nothing in this Agreement (including this  Section 10.17) shall limit the liability of any Person in the event of Fraud by a Seller with respect  to the making of any of such Seller’s representations and warranties in Article 3 or Article 4 (in  each case, for the avoidance of doubt, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules), but in each such  case if and only to the extent such Person had actual (as opposed to imputed or constructive)  knowledge of such Fraud prior to the execution of this Agreement. Non -Recourse Parties are  expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.17.    Section 10.18 Several Obligations of Sellers. Notwithstanding anything in this  Agreement to the contrary, any provision of this Agreement which is expressed to bind or be an  obligation of Sellers shall bind and be an obligation of each of them severally, but not jointly (and  not jointly and severally), and any reference to “Sellers” in this Agreement shall be construed as a  reference to each Seller individually and severally (and thus not jointly or jointly and severally),  in each case unless otherwise expressly provided (including as set forth in Section 10.21).

84      Section 10.19 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that each of Milbank LLP and Stocche  Forbes Advogados has acted as legal counsel to Sellers prior to the Closing, and that Milbank LLP  and Stocche Forbes Advogados intend to act as legal counsel to Sellers after the Closing, each of  Buyer and Sellers hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any  conflicts that may arise in connection with Milbank LLP or Stocche Forbes Advogados  representing Sellers after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, the Company or  the Transactions. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between  Sellers, their respective Affiliates or the Company and Milbank LLP or Stocche Forbes Advogados  in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions (the  “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong  solely to Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company). Accordingly, the Company  shall not, without Sellers’ consent, have access to any Privileged Communications, or to the files  of Milbank LLP or Stocche Forbes Advogados relating to its engagement, whether or not the  Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the  Closing, (a) Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company) shall be the sole holders  of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Privileged Communications and the related  engagement, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Milbank  LLP or Stocche Forbes Advogados in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client,  only Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights  and (c) neither Milbank LLP nor Stocche Forbes Advogados shall have any duty whatsoever to  reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications or files to the Company by reason of any  attorney-client relationship between Milbank LLP or Stocche Forbes Advogados and the  Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that after the Closing a dispute  arises between Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company), on the one hand, and a third party  (other than any Seller), on the other hand, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) may  assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Privileged Communications to such  third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company)  may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Sellers.

(a) The DC Energia Sellers have delivered on the date hereof to Buyer and the  NFE Seller a copy of the power of attorney granted jointly by the DC Energia Sellers to DC Energia  Sellers’ Representative whereby the DC Energia Sellers’ Representative was appointed to be the  exclusive proxy, representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of each of the DC Energia Sellers, with  full power of substitution, to make all decisions and determinations and to act and execute, deliver  and receive all documents, instruments and consents on behalf of the DC Energia Sellers at any  time, in connection with, and that may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the intent and  implement the provisions of this Agreement, including delivering all documents that are required  to be performed and delivered by each DC Energia Seller at closing. By executing this Agreement,  the DC Energia Sellers’ Representative accepts such appointment, authority and power. Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing, pursuant to the power of attorney referred to above, the  DC Energia Sellers’ Representative shall have the power to take any of the following actions on  behalf of such DC Energia Sellers: (i) to give and receive notices, communications and consents  under this Agreement; (ii) to waive any provision of this Agreement; (iii) to investigate, defend,  contest or litigate any pending or threatened Action; (iv) to receive process on behalf of any or all  DC Energia Sellers in any such Action; (v) to negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises  Certain identified information marked with [***] has been excluded from this exhibit because it is not material and is of the  type that the registrant treats as private and confidential.

In all questions  arising under this Agreement, the DC Energia Sellers’ Representative may rely on the advice of  outside counsel, and the DC Energia Sellers’ Representative will not be liable to the DC Energia  Sellers (with respect to actions taken in or pursuant to its role as the DC Energia Sellers’  Representative) for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the DC Energia Sellers’  Representative based on such advice.  (d) The DC Energia Sellers shall, severally but not jointly, on a basis in  accordance with the Ebrasil Proceeds Allocation Proportions, indemnify the DC Energia Sellers’  Representative and hold the DC Energia Sellers’ Representative harmless against any Losses  incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the DC Energia  Sellers’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration  of the DC Energia Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder.    (e) The DC Energia Sellers’ Representative may resign by providing thirty (30)  days prior written notice to each DC Energia Seller, NFE Seller and Buyer. Upon the resignation  of the DC Energia Sellers’ Representative, or his or her death or incapacity as determined by a  court of competent jurisdiction, a majority of the DC Energia Sellers shall irrevocably appoint and  grant to a replacement DC Energia Sellers’ Representative powers, pursuant to the provisions of  articles 684 and 685 and the sole paragraph of article 686 of the Brazilian Civil Code, to serve in  accordance with the terms of this Section 10.20; provided, however, that such appointment shall  Certain identified information marked with [***] has been excluded from this exhibit because it is not material and is of the  type that the registrant treats as private and confidential.
