THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the 20th day of January, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Elizabeth A. Thomas (“Executive”) and NIC Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). This Agreement amends and restates all prior agreements between Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.
WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by the Company under the terms of that certain Employment Agreement, dated October 27, 2020 (the “Original Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Company and Executive desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety;  
WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive to provide personal services to the Company and to the Company’s subsidiaries, and wishes to continue to provide Executive with certain compensation and benefits in return for Executive’s services; and
WHEREAS, Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company and provide personal services to the Company and to the Company’s subsidiaries in return for certain compensation and benefits;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY
1.1    Acceptance. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Company agrees to continue to employ Executive in the position of Chief of Staff, and Executive agrees to continue to be employed upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending as provided in Section 4 (the “Employment Period”).
1.2    Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive will serve in an executive capacity and shall perform such duties as are customarily associated with her then current title, consistent with the Bylaws of the Company and as reasonably required by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). During the Employment Period, Executive will report to the Chief Executive Officer. Executive will devote her best efforts and substantially all of her business time and attention (except for vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other reason for leave permitted by the Company’s general employment policies and for volunteer services to 

charitable organizations that do not materially detract from her ability to perform her duties to the Company) to the business of the Company.
1.3    Employment Policies. The employment relationship between the parties shall also be governed by the general employment policies and practices of the Company, including those relating to protection of confidential information and assignment of inventions, except that when the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the Company’s general employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.
2.    COMPENSATION
2.1    Base Salary. The Company agrees to pay Executive a base salary during Executive’s employment in equal installments (prorated for portions of a pay period) on the Company’s regular pay days and the Company will withhold from such compensation all applicable federal and state income, social security and disability and other taxes as required by applicable laws. Executive’s initial salary as of the date hereof shall be at the rate of Three Hundred and Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($305,000) per year (the “Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary will be subject to review by the Board, or an authorized committee of the Board, from time to time and may be increased (but not decreased, except for across-the-board reductions that may be generally applicable to all of the Company’s senior executives) in the Board’s sole discretion.
2.2    Incentive Compensation. Executive shall be entitled to participate, at a level commensurate with her position, in an annual performance-based cash bonus plan of the Company (the “Annual Cash Incentive Bonus”), any long-term incentive plan (which may include grants of stock options, restricted stock or other equity-based awards under the Company’s equity plan as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) and in such additional incentive bonus opportunities, if any, as may be determined by the Board, with recommendations made by the Compensation Committee of the Board, subject to the terms and conditions of any underlying bonus plans, equity plans or equity agreements:
(a)    Executive’s minimum Annual Cash Incentive Bonus target will be Thirty Five percent (35%) of her base salary.
(b)    The minimum service-based component of Executive’s annual long-term, equity-based incentive grant will be targeted at Fifty percent (50%) of her base salary.
2.3     Standard Company Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in, and to receive all rights and benefits under the terms and conditions of, the standard Company benefits and compensation practices which may be in effect from time to time and provided by the Company to its employees generally.

2

2.4    Vacation. In addition to such holidays, sick leave, personal leave and other paid leave as are allowed under the Company’s policies applicable to senior executives generally, Executive shall be entitled to one hundred sixty (160) hours per year (calculated at the rate of forty (40) hours worked per week) of vacation per calendar year and subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s vacation policy applicable to senior executives; plus ten working days per year of personal time, accruing at the rate of six point seven (6.7) hours per month (calculated at the rate of forty (40) hours worked per week) provided that Executive’s unused vacation will not exceed one hundred sixty (160) hours per year. If the Executive has not taken all of the available vacation time in a year, the unused time can be carried over to the next year, provided, however, that no additional accrual of time will occur when the unused total equals one hundred sixty (160) hours. Personal time does not carry over from year to year. The value of any unused and accumulated vacation time will be paid to the Executive upon any termination of her employment based upon the per day value of her then base salary divided by 250. The duration of such vacations and the time or times when they shall be taken will be determined by Executive in consultation with the Company.
2.5    Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with her duties on behalf of the Company in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, as may be amended from time to time, or any successor policy, plan, program or arrangement thereto, and any other of its expense policies applicable to senior executives of the Company, following submission by Executive of reimbursement expense forms in accordance with such expense policies. Any reimbursement or provision of in-kind benefits for expenses incurred or benefits received during the Executive’s employment pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 shall be made pursuant to the Company’s standard policies and time lines, but not later than December 31st of the year following the year in which Executive incurs the expense; provided, however, that in no event will the amount of expenses so reimbursed, or in-kind benefits provided, by the Company in one year affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. Each provision of reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefit pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
2.6    Executive Death and Disability Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in and receive all rights and benefits under the terms and conditions of an executive life and disability policy or policies, with limits, features, benefits and coverages substantially similar to those reflected in Attachment I to this Agreement.
2.7    Indemnification. The Company and Executive have entered into a separate Indemnification Agreement in the form signed by the Company with its other officers and 

3

directors. The Company agrees that Executive shall be a director or officer of the Company, and that Company shall maintain such Indemnification Agreement with Executive, throughout the Employment Period.

If negotiations regarding any revised employment agreement extend beyond a specific termination date while the parties are actively negotiating, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect during such period of negotiation; provided, however, that if the parties, acting in good faith, are unable to negotiate new terms of employment, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party.

5.    POST- EMPLOYMENT PAYMENT.
5.1     General. At the end of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall cease to have any rights to salary, future equity awards, expense reimbursements or other benefits, except (a) as may be provided in Sections 2.4, 5.2 and 5.5, and (b) that Executive shall be entitled to receive:
(a)    payment of any Base Salary which has accrued but is unpaid through the date of termination;

(c)    reimbursement of any reimbursable expenses which have been incurred but are unpaid as of the date of termination; provided, however, that Executive must submit any claims for reimbursable expenses within sixty days following the date of her termination and such reimbursement shall be paid to Executive in accordance with Section 2.5;
(d)    any continuation coverage benefits to which Executive is entitled under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), provided that Executive completes all necessary election forms and complies with all terms and regulations pertaining to COBRA;
(e)    any other amounts and benefits the Executive is entitled to receive under any Company employee benefit plan or program in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plan or program, except to the extent such amounts and benefits are determined pursuant to this Agreement rather than such plan or program pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.5; and
(f)    such other compensation, if any, which the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay or grant.
5.2    Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.
(a)    The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause (as defined in Section 5.3(b)) upon sixty (60) days prior written notice.

(b)    Executive may terminate her employment at any time for Good Reason. Subject to Section 5.2(c) and Section 8.11, upon any termination for Good Reason (as defined in Section

5.5.(c)(ii)), the Executive shall be entitled to receive the payments and benefits as set forth in Section 5.5(a)(i)-(iv), payable at the time(s) provided for in Section 5.5(b).
(c)    Except where Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or due to termination for Good Reason within the Change of Control Period (as defined in Section 5.5), any amount or portion of an incentive award bonus or equity or equity-based award that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code (except stock options and stock appreciation rights) shall only become payable or vest based on the actual level of performance (disregarding any requirements for Executive’s continued employment). Such compensation shall be paid, vested or issued, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code within 30 days following the Compensation Committee of the Board’s determination of the achievement level of the applicable performance goals for the year of the Executive’s termination of employment, or later if required by applicable law, including Section 7.2.
5.3    Termination for Cause.
(a)    The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time for Cause. Written notification of termination, including in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide the basis for the Cause, shall be provided to Executive at the time of termination.
(b)    “Cause” for termination shall mean Executive’s conviction of a felony or the willful and deliberate failure of Executive to perform her customary duties, in a manner consistent with the manner reasonably prescribed by the Board (other than any failure resulting from her incapacity due to physical or mental illness, disability or death). For purposes of this section only, if the Company experiences a Change of Control, the term “Board” shall include the board of directors (or similar governing body) of any successor to the Company.
(c)    In the event the Company intends to terminate Executive for Cause and the Cause is curable, the Company shall give Executive notice in writing specifying in reasonable detail any facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Executive’s termination for Cause, and Executive shall be given sixty (60) days from date of notification to effect reasonable cure of the specific cause(s) set forth in the notification. 
(d)    In the event Executive’s employment is terminated at any time for Cause, the Company shall provide Executive within thirty (30) days of Executive’s termination of employment all benefits specified in Section 5.1; provided, however, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional severance pay, pay in lieu of notice or any other such 

6

compensation, including any severance benefits provided under a Company’s severance benefit plan as described above in Section 5.1(e), if any, in effect on Executive’s termination date.
5.4    Voluntary Termination without Good Reason.  Executive may voluntarily terminate her employment in writing with the Company at any time without Good Reason (as defined in section 5.5(c)(ii)) after which no further compensation will be paid to Executive, except that the Company shall provide Executive within thirty (30) days of Executive’s termination those amounts and benefits specified in Section 5.1; provided, however, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional severance pay, pay in lieu of notice or any other such compensation, including any severance benefits provided under a Company’s severance benefit plan as described above in Section 5.1(e), if any, in effect on the termination date.
5.5    Termination In Connection With a Change of Control.

(iii)    notwithstanding any contrary provisions of any stock option agreement, restricted stock agreement or other equity or equity-based award agreement held by Executive at the time of Executive’s termination (and provided that any change of control provisions in such agreements, whether entered into before or after the date of this Agreement, shall be of no force and effect), (A) for any equity or equity-based award that is subject to time-based or service-based exercise, vesting or payment conditions, accelerate the exercisability, vesting, and lapse of restrictions, as the case may be, for such equity or equity-based awards, and (B) for any equity or equity-based award that is subject to performance-based exercise, vesting or payment conditions, accelerate the 

7

exercisability, vesting, and lapse of restrictions, as the case may be, for such equity or equity-based awards as if target performance for such award had been achieved; and
(iv)    pay Executive a lump sum payment equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of Company’s portion of the annual costs (determined based on such costs as of the Executive’s termination date) associated with (A) providing Executive with medical and health benefits coverage under the Company’s group health plans, and (B) providing Executive’s eligible family members who are also receiving medical and health benefits coverage under the Company’s group health plan on the date of Executive’s termination of employment.

That portion, if any, of the severance benefits described in this Section 5.5 that is subject to Section 409A shall be paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment, except that, if Executive is subject to Section 7.2 due to Executive’s status as a “specified employee” under Section 409A, such portion shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s termination of employment.
(c)    For purposes of this Section 5.5 and as referenced elsewhere in this document:
(i)    A “Change of Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(1)    any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of capital stock of the Company representing thirty (30) percent or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding capital stock;
(2)    the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other company, other than a merger or consolidation in which the shareholders, at the date of announcement, of the Company would own 50% or more of the voting stock of the surviving corporation;

8

(3)    Continuing Directors (as defined below) no longer constitute at least a majority of the Board or a similar body of any successor to Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Continuing Director” means any individual who either (i) is a member of Company’s Board of Directors on the Effective Date, or (ii) becomes a member of Company’s Board of Directors after the Effective Date and whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the then Continuing Directors (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of Company in which such person is named as nominee for director, without objection to such nomination);
(4)    the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(5)    the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
(ii)    Termination for Good Reason means Executive’s termination of her employment as a result of the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s written consent, unless within thirty (30) days following the Company’s receipt of Executive’s written notice of termination of employment for Good Reason, in accordance with Section 8.1, specifying in reasonable detail any facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for Executive’s termination for Good Reason, the Company cures any such occurrence:
(1)    any material reduction by the Company in Executive’s Base Salary, Annual Cash Incentive Bonus opportunity, long-term incentive opportunity, or standard Company benefits (except for across-the-board reductions generally applicable to all senior executives of the Company);
(2)    a relocation of Executive’s principal office to a location that is in excess of sixty (60) miles from its location as of the date of this Agreement; or
(3)    without limiting the generality or effect of any of the foregoing, any material breach of this Agreement by the Company.
Any occurrence of Good Reason shall be deemed to be waived by Executive unless both (x) Executive provides the Company written notice of termination of employment for Good Reason within ninety (90) days after the date Executive becomes aware of the event giving rise to Good Reason, and (y) Executive 

9

terminates her employment before February 10 of the year following the taxable year of Executive during which the Company’s thirty (30) day cure period expired.
(d)    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the payment of any compensation or benefits payable under paragraph (a) of this Section 5.5 hereof, the certified public accountants of the Company immediately prior to a Change of Control (the “Certified Public Accountants”) shall determine as promptly as practical and in any event within twenty (20) business days following the Change in Control whether any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other agreements or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would more likely than not be nondeductible by the Company for Federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G”) and if it is, then the aggregate present value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Agreement referred to as “Contract Payments”) shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this Section, the “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed as a present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Contract Payments without causing any Contract Payment to be nondeductible by the Company under Section 280G.
If under this paragraph (d) the certified Public Accountants determine that any payment would more likely than not be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G, the Company shall promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and Executive may then elect (subject to the restrictions set forth below), in her sole discretion, which and how much of the Contract Payments or any other payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Contract Payments or any other payments equals the Reduced Amount), and shall advise the Company in writing of her election within twenty (20) business days of her receipt of notice. If no such election is made by Executive within such 20-day period, the Company may elect which and how much of the Contract Payments or any other payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Contract Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify Executive promptly of such election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Contract Payments or other payments that are subject to Section 409A (a “409A Payment”) shall not be eliminated or reduced unless and until all other Contract Payments and other payments have been eliminated or reduced and any 409A Payment that is to be reduced or eliminated shall be reduced or eliminated in order of due date from earliest to latest. For purposes of this paragraph, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All determinations made by the Certified Public Accountants shall be binding upon the Company and Executive and the payment to 

10

Executive shall be made within twenty (20) days of the later of the Change of Control or the Executive’s termination of employment. The Company may suspend for a period of up to thirty (30) days the Payment and any other payments or benefits due to Executive until the Certified Public Accountants finish the determination and Executive (or the Company, as the case may be) elects how to reduce the Contract Payments or any other payments, if necessary; provided, however, under no circumstance shall Executive or the Company be permitted to delay or accelerate any payment in a manner that would result in an impermissible deferral or acceleration under Section 409A. As promptly as practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the Company shall pay to or distribute to or for the benefit of Executive such amounts as are then due to Executive under this Agreement.
    5.6     Termination in the Event of Death or Disability.
(a)    If Executive dies, her designated beneficiaries, or if none, her estate, shall be entitled to the proceeds from Executive’s life insurance coverage described in Section 2.6 and all benefits specified in Section 5.1.
(b)    If Executive becomes disabled (as defined in the disability policy or policies described in Section 2.6), the Company may terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive would receive (i) all benefits specified in Section 5.1 and (ii) for a period of one year following the date Executive becomes disabled (“Disability Period”), her Base Salary at the rate in effect at the beginning of the period reduced by any payments made to Executive during the Disability Period under the disability benefit plans of the Company described in Section 2.6 or under the Social Security disability insurance program, as well as other payments and benefits set forth in Section 2.3 that may be provided to Executive under the terms of the plans, programs and practices covered by Section 2.3.
6.    NON-INTERFERENCE; NON-COMPETITION.
6.1    Agreement. Executive agrees to execute and abide by the Noncompetition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.
7.    SECTION 409A.
7.1    Compliance with Section 409A. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A and the Treasury regulations and guidance issued thereunder and that this Agreement be interpreted and operated consistent with such requirements of Section 409A in order to avoid the application of additional taxes, interest or penalties due to Section 409A (“409A Penalties”). To the extent that a payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A, except as Executive and Company otherwise determines in writing, the payment shall be paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet 

11

the requirements of Section 409A, such that the payment, settlement or deferral shall not be subject to the 409A Penalties. Any reimbursement will be interpreted and administered to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).
7.2    Delay for Specified Employee. To the extent that (a) Company’s common stock is publicly traded on an “established securities market” as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.8971(m), and (b) Executive would otherwise be entitled to any payment or benefit under this Agreement or any plan or arrangement of Company or its affiliates, that constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and that if paid during the six months beginning on the date of Executive’s termination of employment would be subject the 409A Penalties because Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined from time to time by Company), the payment will be paid to Executive on the earliest of the six-month anniversary of the termination of employment, a change in ownership or effective control of Company (within the meaning of Section 409A) or Executive’s death.
7.3    Full Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, (a) this Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that would cause (i) the imposition of any 409A Penalty, (ii) this Agreement or any amounts or benefits payable hereunder to fail to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, or (iii) any amounts or benefits payable hereunder that are not subject to Section 409A to become subject thereto (unless they also are in compliance therewith), and the provisions of any purported amendment that may reasonably be expected to result in such non-compliance shall be of no force or effect with respect to this Agreement and (b) if any provision of this Agreement would, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of Company, result or likely result in the imposition on Executive or any other person of any adverse consequences under Section 409A, Company may reform this Agreement, or any provision thereof, without Executive’s consent, in the manner that Company reasonably and in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of such adverse consequence; provided, however, that any such reformation shall, to the maximum extent Company reasonably and in good faith determines to be possible, retain the economic and tax benefits to Executive hereunder, while not materially increasing the cost to Company of providing such benefits to Executive. Company shall promptly notify Executive in writing of any such reformation and provide a detailed explanation of the reason for the reformation. For the avoidance of doubt, the phrase “termination of employment” and similar phrases shall mean and be interpreted in the same manner as, a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
8.    GENERAL PROVISION.
8.1    Notices. Any notices provided hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon the earlier of personal delivery (including personal delivery by facsimile) or the

8.2    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.
8.3    Waiver. If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, they or it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
8.4    Complete Agreement.

8.5    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.
8.6    Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.
8.7    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and the Company, and her respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators, except that Executive may not assign any of her duties hereunder and they may not assign any of her rights hereunder without the written consent of the Company, which shall not be withheld unreasonably.
8.8    Attorneys’ Fees. If either party hereto brings any action to enforce her or its rights hereunder, Executive shall be reimbursed by Company for her reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, unless all of Executive’s positions in such action are determined by the court to be frivolous.

8.11    Release.

Exhibit A

NIC INC.
EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT
 In consideration of my employment or continued employment by NIC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I hereby agree as follows:
1.    NONDISCLOSURE.
1.1    Recognition of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during my employment and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my work for the Company, or unless an officer of the Company expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns.
1.2    Proprietary Information. The term “Proprietary Information” shall mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Inventions”); and (b) information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that (i) the Company’s Proprietary Information hereunder shall not include information to the extent that it is or becomes generally known in the trade or industry other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, and (ii) I shall be free to use my own skill, knowledge and experience to whatever extent and in whichever way I wish, provided that I do so without the use or disclosure of Proprietary Information.

15

1.3    Third Party Information. I understand, in addition, that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with my work for the Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing.
1.4    No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my employment by the Company I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person. I will use in the performance of my duties only information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company.
2.    ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS.
2.1    Proprietary Rights. The term “Proprietary Rights” shall mean all trade secret, patent, trademark, copyright, and other intellectual property rights throughout the world.
2.2    Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which I made prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit A (Previous Inventions) attached hereto a complete list of all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I consider to be my property or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”). If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Inventions in Exhibit A but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space is provided on Exhibit A for such purpose. If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a 

16

Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention, Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company’s prior written consent.
2.3    Assignment of Inventions. Subject to Sections 2.4, and 2.6, I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first conceived or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made, conceived, fixed in a tangible medium or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment with the Company. Inventions assigned to the Company, or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as “Company Inventions.”
2.4    Nonassignable Inventions. This Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of and “Company Inventions” shall not be discerned to include any invention which was developed entirely on my own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secrets and is neither related to the Company’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, nor resulted from work performed by me for the Company.
2.5    Obligation to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment and for six (6) months after termination of my employment with the Company, I will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or fixed in a tangible medium by me, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, I will promptly disclose to the Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise the Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection “as non-Company Inventions” and I will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. The Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that are not Company Inventions. I will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention which is a Company Invention.
2.6    Government or Third Party. I also agree to assign all my right, title and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including without limitation the United States, as directed by the Company.

17

2.7    Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101) the copyright in which is owned by the Company. If, for any reason, such original works are not deemed “works made for hire” under such statute, I hereby assign and agree to assign all of my right, title, and interest in the works to the Company and agree to execute such further documents as are reasonably required to perfect and record this assignment.
2.8    Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such “Company Inventions” to the Company or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance.
In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights or Company Inventions assigned hereunder to the Company.
3.    RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Company) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at the Company, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.
4.    ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES. I agree that for the period of my employment by the Company and for three (3) years after the date of termination of my employment by the Company I will not induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company.

18

5.    NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATION. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.
6.    RETURN OF COMPANY DOCUMENTS. When I leave the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company any and all original drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, files, emails and documents, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of the Company, whether in paper, electronic or other intangible form. I further agree that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the Company’s termination statement. I further agree not to retain any Proprietary Information of the Company on any electronic or online storage media including, but not limited to, USB drives, magnetic or optical discs, online storage services, online email services, or any personal computer under my control, subsequent to my termination.
7.    LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES. Because my services are personal and unique and because I may have access to and become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the Company, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.
8.    NOTICES. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing.
9.    NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent to the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this Agreement.
10.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.
10.1    Governing Law. Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Kansas, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Kansas between Kansas residents. 

19

I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Johnson County, Kansas for any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or related to this Agreement.
10.2    Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein so long as the central purpose and intent of the Agreement can still be achieved. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.
10.3    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.
10.4    Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.
10.5    Employment. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or the Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause.
10.6    Waiver. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of my other right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.
10.7    Entire Agreement. The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall apply to any time during which I was previously employed, or am in the future employed, by the Company as a consultant if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between us. If I have an existing Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement in place with the Company, then this Agreement supersedes and replaces that agreement effective as of the date this agreement is signed below, otherwise, this 

20

Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment with the Company. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

Exhibit B
NIC INC.
Non-Competition Agreement
In consideration of the employment/promotion of Elizabeth A. Thomas, currently residing at  (“Employee”), by NIC Inc.  (“Employer”) and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Employee, Employer and Employee hereby agree to the terms outlined in this Agreement.
Recitals
A.    Employer is in the business generally of designing, building, and furnishing to government clients and private entities, egovernment applications and services online, including but not limited to Software As A Service, stand-alone online applications, system management and hosting, e-payment processing, database management, and enterprise wide management of such services and payment streams.
B.    The parties recognize that, in the course of employment with Employer, Employee will learn Employer’s techniques, procedures, and development, management, and marketing strategies and will be exposed to the Employer’s clients and prospects, all of which Employer has a legitimate business interest in protecting. Employee is expected to work diligently and to develop good will with clients and prospects and other of Employer’s employees for the benefit of the Employer. Employee agrees that it would be unfair and improper to disclose or use Employer’s Confidential Information, training, or relationships to solicit Employer’s clients, prospects, or employees either during the Employee’s employment with Employer or for a limited period thereafter.
C.    The parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to induce the Employer to share or continue to share its information and resources with Employee during the course of employment and to insure that the Employer’s business will not be harmed during or after Employee’s employment.
D.    Employee acknowledges and agrees that the promises in this Agreement are of material importance to Employer and the promises are a material inducement for Employer to employ and continue to employ the Employee.

24

Agreement
1.    Definitions
As used herein:
(a)    “Confidential Information” means any oral or written information disclosed to Employee or known by Employee as a consequence of or through Employee’s employment by Employer which relates to Employer’s business, products, processes, or services, including, but not limited to, information relating to research, development, Inventions, computer program designs, programming techniques, flow charts, source code, object code, products under development, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, engineering, marketing, selling, customer lists, customer requirements, and any documentation thereof. It will be presumed that information supplied to Employee from outside sources while in the course of her or her work for Employer is Confidential Information unless and until it is designated otherwise.
(b)    “Inventions” means discoveries, concepts, and ideas, whether patentable or not, including, but not limited to, apparatuses, processes, methods, compositions of matter, techniques, and formulae, as well as improvements or know-how related to any of those, in connection with and relating to any activities of Employer.
(c)    “Work Product” means all documents, reports, memoranda, drawings, specifications, computer programs, works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression, flow charts and computer source code and object code regardless of the medium in which it is fixed, notes, correspondence, records, notebooks, and other tangible or intangible property and any and all plans, discoveries, creations, compositions, innovations, processes, technical data, patents and patent applications, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and copyright registration applications, and other materials and designs (whether tangible or intangible) developed or conceived by the Employee or provided by the Employer or any of its related entities, affiliates, or business units to the Employee during the course of the Employee’s performance of service for Employer.
(d)    “Conflicting Organization” means any competitor of Employer, including any organization which is engaged in the development, marketing, or selling of a Conflicting Product. An “affiliate” of Employer is an entity that is owned by, or under common control with, Employer, including direct and indirect parent entities. An affiliate of Employer is not considered a Conflicting Organization.

25

(e)    “Conflicting Product” means any product, process, or service of any person or organization other than Employer which competes with a product, process, or service of Employer upon or with which Employee works or about which Employee acquires Confidential Information.
2.    Services to Conflicting Organizations
For as long as Employee is employed by Employer and for a period of two (2) years after termination of Employee’s employment by Employer, whether or not said termination is voluntary or involuntary and whether or not said termination is initiated by Employee or Employer, Employee will not own, in whole or in part, aid, or render services to, directly or indirectly, (collectively, “aid”) any Conflicting Organization; provided, however, that, upon termination of Employee’s employment by Employer, Employee shall have the right to aid a Conflicting Organization whose business is diversified and which, as to that part of its business Employee aids, considered as a discrete business unit, is not a Conflicting Organization if, prior to aiding or rendering services, Employee furnishes separate written assurances satisfactory to Employer (in its sole discretion) from such Conflicting Organization and from Employee that Employee will not aid or render services directly or indirectly in connection with any Conflicting Product. For purposes of this provision, ownership means either: 1) owning more than 5% of the total outstanding shares of stock in a Conflicting Organization; or 2) having a controlling interest in a Conflicting Organization. The preceding restriction applies to the Employee in the following territory:
For Management Level Employees: Because Employer is a subsidiary of NICUSA, Inc., which uses subsidiaries such as Employer to operate egovernment portals across the entire United States of America, such as the one that Employer operates for Kansas; and because Employee’s position with Employer is considered to be management level or management-trainee; and because a condition of being employed at management level or as a management trainee is that the Employee be willing to relocate to another subsidiary in another state to lead or assist in leading the operations of a new or existing portal such as Employer operates for Kansas, such aid or services to a Conflicting Organization is prohibited anywhere in the United States of America.
3.    Confidentiality
(a)    During employment with the Employer, and from and after termination of employment, Employee will hold in confidence the Confidential Information and will not use it or disclose it to any person or entity except with the specific prior written consent of the Employer or except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

26

(b)    Any trade secrets of the Employer or the business and affairs of the Employer will be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under the Kansas Trade Secrets Act and any other applicable law. If any information that the Employer deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, such information will, nevertheless, be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. Employee hereby waives any requirement that the Employer submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.
(c)    None of the foregoing obligations and restrictions apply to any part of the Confidential Information that Employee demonstrates (i) was or became generally available to the public other than as a result of an improper disclosure by Employee or by another individual or entity; or (ii) was available to Employee on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Employee by the Employer. If Employee is requested or becomes legally compelled by any means or is required by a regulatory body to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Agreement, Employee will provide the Employer with prompt notice of such request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy.
4.    Non-Solicitation of Employees
Employee shall not, during the period of Employee’s employment with the Employer and for a period of two (2) years after termination of Employee’s employment with the Employer, whether or not said termination is voluntary or involuntary, and whether or not said termination is initiated by Employee or Employer, either on his or her own account or for any person, partnership, corporation, or other entity (a) solicit, contact, or endeavor to cause any employee of the Employer to leave his or her employment, (b) induce or attempt to induce any such employee to breach her or his employment agreement with the Employer, (c) otherwise interfere with the Employer’s relationships with its employees, or (d) hire, employ, or supervise any of the Employer’s employees.
5.    Non-Solicitation of Clients or Prospects
Employee shall not, during the period of Employee’s employment with the Employer and for a period of two (2) years after termination of Employee’s employment with the Employer, whether or not said termination is voluntary or involuntary, and whether or not said termination is initiated by Employee or Employer, solicit, induce, or attempt to induce, any past or current client of Employer, or any prospective client of Employer with whom Employee had contact as a result of Employee’s employment by Employer, (a) to cease doing business in whole or in part with or through the Employer, or (b) to do business with any Conflicting Organization.

27

6.    Work Product and Inventions
(a)    Employer shall own, without restrictions or limits of any kind, all right, title, and interest in and to any and all Work Product and Inventions.
(b)    Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee shall not acquire any right whatsoever in any Work Product or Inventions and that any and all Work Product or Inventions, and any other property of Employer shall be returned or provided to the Employer at any time upon the Employer’s demand, and, at the latest, upon termination of Employee’s employment for any reason.
(c)    Employee acknowledges and confirms that it is the Employee’s intention that any and all rights, including any copyright or other intellectual property rights, in any Work Product or Inventions created by the Employee for the Employer shall solely and exclusively vest in the Employer, and that any such Work Product or Inventions shall be considered within the scope of the Employee’s employment. The parties agree that the Employer is entitled, as author, to the copyright in any copyrightable Work Product and any Inventions and any other rights therein including the right to seek or not seek statutory registration of any copyright and the right to make such changes therein and uses thereof as the Employer in its sole discretion determines. If, for any reason, any such Work Product is not considered a work made for hire under the copyright laws, then the Employee hereby grants and assigns to the Employer all of the Employee’s right, title, and interest in and to such Work Product.
(d)    Employee agrees to execute such assignments, releases, transfer documents, and other instruments as the Employer may reasonably require in order to vest in the Employer complete and absolute title to the Work Product and any Inventions, including all intellectual property rights therein and thereto. For this limited purpose, the Employee hereby appoints the Employer as its attorney in fact to execute and deliver to the Employer, on behalf of the Employee, any and all such documents or instruments. This appointment shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. The Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Employer in any and all acts or actions deemed appropriate by the Employer in order to perfect, retain, enforce, and maintain sole and exclusive title in and to the Work Product and any Inventions and all intellectual property rights therein and thereto.
(e)    This Agreement does not apply to an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Employer was used and which was developed entirely on the Employee’s own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) directly to the business of the Employer, or (ii) actual or demonstrably anticipated research or 

28

development or (b) the Invention results from any work performed by the Employee for the Employer.
7.    Tolling of Period of Restriction
In the event of a breach of any of the covenants included above, then the post-employment time periods during which such prohibitions apply shall not be reduced by any period of time during which Employee is in violation or breach of any such covenant, including any period of time required to obtain injunctive relief from a court requiring Employee to cease and desist such breach.
8.    Enforcement
Employee acknowledges that the legal remedy available to Employer for any breach of covenants in this Agreement on the part of Employee may be inadequate, and therefore, in the event of any threatened or actual breach of any term of this Agreement and in addition to any other right or remedy which Employer may have, Employer shall be entitled to specific enforcement of this Agreement through injunctive or other equitable relief in a court with appropriate jurisdiction, without the necessity of posting a bond.
9.    Attorneys’ Fees and Costs
The Employee shall reimburse the Employer for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and costs incurred by the Employer in connection with enforcing any provision of this Agreement.
10.    Obligations Survive Termination of Employment
Termination of Employee’s employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall not impair or relieve Employee of any obligations under this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that his/her employment is at will and that nothing in this Agreement shall be considered a contract of employment or in any way alter Employee’s at-will status in any manner or respect.
11.    Non-Waiver
No failure on the part of either party to require the performance by the other party of any term of this Agreement shall be taken or held to be a waiver of such term or in any way affecting such party’s right to enforce such term, and no waiver on the part of either party of any term in this Agreement shall be taken or held to be a waiver of any other term hereof or the breach thereof.

29

12.    Binding Effect
This Agreement may be assigned by Employer without the prior written consent of Employee.
13.    Severability
Should any term of this Agreement be found invalid or unenforceable, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term of this Agreement. If necessary for enforcement of any of the covenants in the Agreement by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, Employee and Employer agree the court is authorized to reduce or modify the covenant as necessary for the maximum enforcement permitted by law.
14.    Term of Employment
This Agreement involves no obligations on the part of Employer to employ Employee or upon Employee to accept employment for any definite period of time.
15.    Merger
This Agreement supersedes all prior conversations, correspondence, representations, warranties, agreements, and other communications regarding the subject matter hereof. The Recitals are considered a part of this Agreement.
16.    Applicable Law
(a)    This Agreement shall be in all respects interpreted and construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the state of Kansas.
(b)    The parties agree that any action at law or in equity relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the federal or state courts within the city of Olathe, KS and the parties consent to and hereby waive any objections to jurisdiction and venue at that location.

CHAPTER II

SUBJECT MATTER

 

2.1.           Purchase
and Sale of the UPI Mobile Assets. Subject to verification (or waiver, as applicable) of the Conditions Precedent and subject
to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller irrevocably and irreversibly undertakes to sell and transfer, on
the Closing Date and pursuant to articles 60 and 141, II, of Law No. 11,101/05, as well as article 133, paragraph 1, II, of the
National Tax Code, the UPI Mobile Assets to the Purchasers, who, in turn, irrevocably and irreversibly undertake to acquire the
UPI Mobile Assets from the Seller, in the manner set forth in this Agreement (the “Transaction”).

 

     3 

    	 

    

2.1.1.       For
the purposes of this Agreement, “UPI Mobile Assets” means the Isolated Productive Unit formed by the UPI Mobile
Assets, Liabilities, and Rights indicated in Exhibit 2.1.1 to be contributed by the Seller, pursuant to the Segregation and Division
Plan, to the capital stock of three special purpose entities incorporated for the disposal of the UPI Mobile Assets (in each case
a “Mobile SPE”), whose equity shall be composed, on the Closing Date, (i) in the case of the Mobile SPE whose
shares shall be transferred to TIM, by the portion of the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights to be transferred to TIM,
(ii) in the case of the Mobile SPE whose shares shall be transferred to Telefônica, by the portion of the UPI Mobile Assets,
Obligations, and Rights to be transferred to Telefônica, and (iii) in the case of the Mobile SPE whose shares shall be transferred
to Claro, by the portion of the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights to be transferred to Claro, in all cases in the manner
provided for in the Judicial Reorganization Plan and pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Exhibit 2.1.1 describes any and
all Encumbrances existing as of this date on the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights, which shall have been fully released
by the Closing Date, such that, upon transfer to the Purchasers, the Mobile SPEs hold the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights
entirely free and clear of any Encumbrances or restrictions.

 

2.1.2.        The
shares issued by each Mobile SPE shall be transferred by the Seller to the Purchasers as follows: on the Closing Date, (i) the
Seller shall transfer to TIM the shares issued by the Mobile SPE, whose equity shall consist of the portion of the UPI Mobile Assets,
Obligations, and Rights to be transferred to TIM (the “TIM Shares SPE”), (ii) the Seller shall transfer to Telefónica
the shares issued by the Mobile SPE whose equity shall consist of the portion of the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights
to be transferred to Telefónica (the “Telefónica Shares SPE”), and (iii) the Seller shall transfer
to Claro the shares issued by the Mobile SPE whose equity shall consist of the portion of the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and
Rights to be transferred to Claro (“Claro Shares SPE”, and, together with TIM Shares SPE and the Telefónica
Shares SPE, the “Shares”). The Shares shall be transferred, as provided for in this Section 2.1.2, free and
clear of any Encumbrances, so that each of the Purchasers becomes, directly or indirectly, the sole owner of all Shares of the
respective Mobile SPE that belong to it.

 

2.1.3.        The
Shares shall be sold and transferred by the Seller to the Purchasers, with all voting and economic rights inherent therein.

 

2.1.4.        The
contribution of the UPI Assets, Obligations, and Rights to the capital stock of the Mobile SPEs, for purposes of disposal of the
UPI Mobile Assets in the terms provided for herein, shall be performed in accordance with the plan presented by the Purchasers
to the Seller on the date hereof (attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.4), which was discussed in good faith and previously agreed upon
among the Parties, within the exact limits of the Antitrust Protocol and which becomes a part of this Agreement for all legal purposes
(the “Segregation and Division Plan”), it being certain that the Seller hereby agrees to implement or cause
to be implemented in all that is in its control, in the terms provided for herein, without prejudice to the provisions of Section
4.3(iv) of this Agreement. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Segregation and Division Plan: (i) complies with the
Antitrust Protocol and all Laws, in particular ANATEL regulations, in effect on the date hereof; (ii) that the steps of the Segregation
and Division Plan that shall be implemented prior to the approval of CADE and ANATEL are merely preparatory and administrative
and that, in addition to not interfering with the independence of the Parties, they do not violate any applicable Laws or regulations;
(iii) any step

 

     4 

    	 

    

of the Segregation and Division Plan, which
requires authorization by CADE, ANATEL, or third parties, shall only be implemented after obtaining such authorization; and (iv)
sets forth reasonable obligations and within the control of the Parties within the scope of the Corporate Reorganization and which
are necessary for the UPI Mobile Assets Segregation into more than one specific purpose entity; and (v) sets forth a budget prepared
by the Parties on reasonable bases, considered on this date sufficient for the implementation of the Segregation and Division Plan
(the “Segregation and Division Budget”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Segregation and Division
Plan does not stipulate any obligations that may result in the Oi Group Companies not complying with their obligations to third
parties and that the Oi Group Companies shall not be obligated and shall not have any liability for the implementation of any acts
related to the Segregation and Division Plan that depend on third-party approvals, provided that such approvals have been regularly
and timely requested and have not been obtained.

 

2.1.4.1.     The
Parties have negotiated in good faith under the Segregation and Division Plan: (i) the mechanisms and conditions for the transfer
to the Mobile SPEs of the agreements executed by Oi Móvel with the public entities listed in Exhibit 2.1.1 so that the implementation
of the Segregation and Division Plan shall not result in a partial or full breach of the service agreements with such public entities;
and (ii) the assumption after Closing by the Purchasers or their Affiliates (including the Mobile SPEs, after the Closing) of the
obligations that the Seller and/or its Affiliates have assumed under the terms of the Infrastructure Sharing Agreements, in their
capacity as Affiliates of Oi Móvel with the counterparties to such agreements, as listed in Exhibit 2.1.1.

 

2.1.5.        The
Parties acknowledge that (i) the Segregation and Division Budget represents the Parties' best estimate, on the date hereof, of
the costs that will be incurred by the Oi Group Companies to implement the Segregation and Division Plan; and (ii) if the Segregation
and Division Budget proves to be insufficient to implement the Segregation and Division Plan, the Segregation and Division Budget
may be modified, by mutual agreement among the Parties, so as to include additional costs that may be necessary to implement the
Segregation and Division Plan. In such event, the Seller shall, prior to actually incurring any additional costs, submit to the
Purchasers for approval a revised proposal for the Segregation and Division Budget reasonably detailing the additional costs to
be incurred, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Purchasers, in good faith, and shall not be unreasonably withheld by the
Purchasers.

 

2.1.6.        The
Purchasers agree to indemnify the Oi Group Companies for any and all Losses they may incur as a result of any actions undertaken
by the Oi Group Companies exclusively in connection with the implementation of the Segregation and Division Plan, provided that
such actions are undertaken in accordance with the Segregation and Division Plan and/or upon the express instructions of the Purchasers,
their agents, or representatives. For the purposes of clarification, the following shall not be considered to be a Loss of the
Oi Group Companies for the purposes of the indemnification obligation set forth in this Section 2.1.6: (i) the costs incurred by
the Oi Group Companies that may be reimbursed by the Purchasers under Section 2.1.8 below; (ii) any losses that the Oi Group Companies
may incur as a result of any noncompliance with third-party obligations (including, without limitation, tax, labor, and social
security obligations), even if such obligations are related to the full or partial implementation of the Segregation and Division
Plan, except for any losses incurred by the Oi Group Companies as a result of any noncompliance with third-party obligations arising
strictly from the implementation of the provisions set forth in the Segregation and Division Plan, provided that, in this case,
the Oi Group Companies have given prior and specific written notice to the

 

     5 

    	 

    

Purchasers that such provisions would give
rise to a noncompliance with third-party obligations; (iii) any costs or Losses arising from the implementation of the Corporate
Reorganization and not related to compliance with the Segregation and Division Plan; and (iv) any Losses arising from acts performed
by the Seller in fault, willful misconduct, violation of law, or acts performed by the Seller that are not in express compliance
with the Segregation and Division Plan and/or with the Purchasers' instructions.

 

2.1.7.        The
Purchasers may, by mutual agreement and upon prior authorization from the Seller, which may not be unreasonably withheld, modify
the content of the Segregation and Division Plan at any time as of this date and up to ten (10) days after CADE Approval and ANATEL's
Prior Consent (whichever occurs last), in order to accommodate regulatory restrictions and/or the Government Authorities' requirements
or other issues that may be necessary for the UPI Mobile Assets Segregation, provided that, in the event that such modifications
result in increased costs for the implementation of the Segregation and Division Plan, the Segregation and Division Budget shall
be amended, by mutual agreement among the Parties, to reflect such increase.

 

2.1.8.        Subject
to the provisions of Section 5.2.4.1, the costs proven to have been incurred by the Seller exclusively with the implementation
of the Segregation and Division Plan, as provided for herein, provided they are included in the Division and Segregation Budget
or otherwise expressly approved by the Purchasers, shall be the exclusive responsibility of the Purchasers until the end of the
ninety (90) day period counted from CADE Approval and ANATEL's Prior Consent. The costs incurred with the implementation of the
Segregation and Division Plan shall be subject to a quarterly report (the “Cost Report”), to be prepared and
submitted by the Seller to the Purchasers within ten (10) days after the end of each quarter, containing all related bills for
expenses and shall be reimbursed by the Purchasers within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Cost Report.

Regime.

 

3.1.1.        For
the purposes of calculating the Closing Price and the Final Post-Closing Adjustment in the manner set forth in Sections 3.2 and
3.8 below, the Base Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Schedule 3.7 to this Agreement to reflect (i) the ascertainment of the

Participation by Product of the business consisting of the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights in any amount less than ninety

Capital, CAPEX investments made, Net Revenue Participation ascertained and Net Earnings Participation by Product observed in the
period between the financial statements of 01/01/2020 and the Closing Date, in relation to the businesses that will be operated
by the Mobile SPEs, considered on a combined basis, as well as the calculation of the price to be paid on the Closing Date by the

Closing Price (the “Withheld Amount”)
shall be retained by the Purchasers from the Closing Price in order to offset any amount that the Seller shall pay to the Purchasers
as a result of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, pursuant to Section 3.8. The Withheld Amount shall be adjusted by the variation
of one hundred percent (100%) of the CDI from the Closing Date until the date of effective payment and shall be fully paid to the
Seller (after any deduction to offset the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, if necessary) on the date of payment of the Final Post-Closing
Adjustment.

 

3.4.           Payment

including non-performing creditors, of the Oi Group Companies under the Judicial Reorganization Plan that may be appointed by the

Reorganization Plan and its Amendment, or by a copy of the order of the Judicial Reorganization Court authorizing such request

     8 

    	 

    

Group
Companies vis-à-vis the third-party creditor(s) indicated by the Seller,

 

(ii)       subrogation

or contributions of any nature whatsoever, or has any financial or Tax cost to the Purchasers (including, without limitation, interest,
and taxation on interest) arising from such payment on behalf of and at the order of the Seller, the respective amounts shall be

of the Purchase Price of the Shares and of the Transition Services, as well as for compliance with all obligations assumed by the
Purchasers herein, including the one set forth in Section 10.1.1. For the purposes of clarity, the obligations under the Ancillary

Adjustment Payment. The Final Post-Closing Adjustment shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchasers within five (5) Business

Adjustment Determination Date, in both cases net of any withholding or deduction of any Tax or bank fees, by setting off the Withheld
Amount against the amount of the Final Post-Closing Adjustment, and the positive balance of such set-off, if any, shall be paid
to the Seller in domestic currency and immediately available funds, by means of electronic transfer of available funds - TED to
the checking account held by the Seller to be timely indicated in writing. If the Withheld Amount is insufficient to satisfy the
payment of the Post-Final Closing Adjustment, the missing amount shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchasers within the same

be timely indicated in writing, net of any withholding or deduction of any Tax or bank charges, in domestic currency and in immediately

as schedule prior face-to-face meetings with such authorities prior to the definitive submission of this Transaction (the “Pre-filing
Meetings”), in order to present the main aspects of the Transaction and discuss essential information for analysis thereof
by the aforementioned authorities. The Seller undertakes to provide, on a timely basis, the information necessary for the preparation
of the drafts. The Pre-filing Drafts shall be pre-submitted to the Seller for confirmation regarding the accuracy of their information,
and the Pre-filing Meetings shall be attended by its representatives, unless the pre-filing submission or meeting attendance is
waived in writing by the Seller in its sole discretion. The Pre-filing Drafts shall be submitted in advance by the Purchasers to
such authorities by email (or other form potentially requested by the authority) in preparation for the Pre-filing Meetings, which
shall be scheduled on a confidential basis as soon as all the information necessary for the submission of the Transaction to the
respective authorities is available to the Purchasers. In the period between the date of the first Pre-Filing Meeting and the final
submission of the Transaction to CADE and ANATEL, the Purchasers shall keep the authorities informed, periodically, by e-mail,
regarding the progress of the notice and request for preliminary approval, as well as regarding the answers to the questions formulated
by the authorities. Once the completeness of the concentration act notice form for CADE and the request for prior consent by ANATEL
is verified, the Purchasers shall formally submit the present Transaction to the aforementioned authorities immediately, with formal
authorization for CADE (waiver) to initiate the review of the concentration act before the publication of the respective
Notice. The Parties shall use their best efforts to keep the pre-filing period short so that formal submission takes place as soon
as possible.

 

5.3.1.        The
Parties establish that the Purchasers shall be the only Parties responsible for taking all measures necessary, always acting diligently,
and at their own expense, to obtain the CADE Approval and the Prior Consent from ANATEL as soon as possible, herein undertaking
to present any and all reasonable remedies and/or conditions that such Governmental Authorities deem necessary to obtain the respective
approvals and complete the Transaction, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.3.5 and 10.1.1 below, including within the scope
of the implementation of the Segregation and Division Plan submitted by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.1.4. The Purchasers
shall keep the Seller informed of each submission process performed, including any and all communications forwarded to or received
from such Governmental Authorities, including those that may require impositions, restrictions, or limitations on the intended
Transaction and implementation of the Segregation and Division Plan. The Purchasers shall promptly comply with any and all requests
that they deem reasonable from such Governmental Authorities, and in no event may they comply with such requests after the time
period established by the applicable Laws.

 

5.3.2.        The
Oi Group Companies undertake to instruct their officers and directors to cooperate with the Purchasers in the submission of information
in their possession that is reasonably necessary for such submission, as requested by the Purchasers. Among the information required,
confidential and/or competitively sensitive information shall be clearly indicated by the Oi Group Companies as such to be exchanged
in accordance with the restrictions of the Antitrust Protocol.

 

5.3.3.        All
costs and expenses related to the procedure for approval of the Transaction by CADE and ANATEL shall be borne by the Purchasers,
except for expenses with attorneys and any other advisors hired by the Seller, which shall be borne by the Seller.

 

     17 

    	 

    

5.3.4.        At
its discretion, the Seller may be represented by outside counsel in the record of the reporting of the Transaction to CADE or within
the scope of the reporting process of the Transaction to ANATEL, and the Seller's representatives shall always be invited to participate
in the Purchasers' interactions related to the process of obtaining approval for the Transaction from CADE and ANATEL when the
Transaction and the Segregation and Division Plan are to be presented as a whole to CADE and ANATEL or when the Seller's participation
is necessary or convenient for obtaining the approval, and the Seller and its counsel shall be informed of the aforementioned meetings
with such Governmental Authorities as soon as the Purchasers and their counsel become aware of the scheduled meetings, in order
to make such participation feasible, except when the matters exclusively pertaining to the Purchasers are involved. However, in
leading the interactions with CADE and ANATEL, the Purchasers shall not require the Seller's approval for the submission of any
responses, documents, or information to such Governmental Authorities. The Purchasers undertake, however, to share with the Seller
in advance the documents to be submitted to said Governmental Authorities for acknowledgement and for confirmation of the accuracy
of the information submitted. In this latter event, the Seller shall use its best efforts, provided that it is received with reasonable
notice, to verify the information and to confirm and/or correct any information prepared by the Purchasers, as well as submit any
comments it deems pertinent to better defend the interests of the Parties, Oi Móvel, and the Mobile SPEs before CADE and
ANATEL.

 

5.3.5.        In
the event that CADE and/or ANATEL deem necessary the imposition of structural restrictions (whether by means of disposal of assets,
return of Licenses, or others that affect the ownership of the radio frequencies acquired), as a condition for granting CADE Approval
and/or ANATEL's Prior Consent, respectively, including in the scope of the implementation of the Segregation and Division Plan
potentially submitted by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.1.4, the Purchasers shall be obligated to interact with such Government
Authorities in good faith and with diligence, aiming to identify the minimum level of structural restrictions required and proposing
the restrictions sufficient to eliminate, in a consensual manner, the concerns identified in the approval processes of the Transaction.
The implications of the restrictions required by CADE and/or ANATEL or, further, negotiated by the Purchasers with such Governmental
Authorities, shall depend on (a) the type of asset whose divestiture is required by CADE and/or ANATEL; and (b) the impact that
any assets to be divested shall have on the potential generation of Net Revenues of the business comprised of the UPI Mobile Assets,
Obligations, and Rights, subject to the following parameters:

 

		(i)	if it is necessary to divest or return any assets and/or businesses of any nature (including businesses

limitations, without prejudice to the provisions of Section 8.6:

 

		(i)	the aggregate amount of all Losses indemnified by the Oi Group Companies under Sections 8.1(i)
and 8.1(iii) may not exceed the equivalent of ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price of the Shares;

 

		(ii)	the aggregate amount of all Losses indemnified by the Oi Group Companies under Section 8.1(ii)
may not exceed the equivalent amount of the Purchase Price of the Shares;

 

		(iii)	the Oi Group Companies shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchasers' Indemnified Parties
(a) for any Losses lower than the minimum amount of two hundred thousand Brazilian Reais (R$200,000.00) per individual Loss (that
is, the minimum amount for a Loss to qualify for indemnification), except with respect to Losses related to consumer lawsuits,
which shall qualify for indemnification regardless of the individual amount, but which, in the aggregate, shall reach Losses in
an amount greater than the minimum amount of two hundred thousand Brazilian Reais (R$200,000.00); and (b) until the Losses reach
an aggregate minimum limit of five million Brazilian Reais (R$5,000,000.00). For clarification purposes, the obligation of the
Oi Group Companies to indemnify the Purchasers' Indemnified Parties shall not apply unless and until the individual Losses that
exceed the individual minimum limit pursuant to item (a) above are, in the aggregate, greater than the aggregate minimum limit
established in item (b), in which case the Oi Group Companies shall be obligated to indemnify the Purchasers' Indemnified Parties
for the total amount of the Losses incurred and accrued up to the date in question, in compliance with the procedures set forth
in this Agreement.

 

8.2.1.        Notwithstanding
the provisions of this CHAPTER VIII, the determination of the amount of a Loss shall take into consideration the payment made or
recovery eventually received as a result of the contracting of insurance policies by the Indemnified Party, that is, payments shall
only be made to the Party that actually suffers such Loss, net of the amount of any indemnification actually received as a result
of the purchase of insurance policies, but taking into account the cost of deductibles incurred for the receipt of insurance, as
well as for any amounts that are successfully reimbursed by the Purchasers through an action for recourse filed as a result of
any Loss. Additionally, the payment of a Loss must take into consideration the intertemporal tax effects regarding the deductibility
or levy of applicable taxes, that is: (a) if the Loss generates a deductible expense, and (b) if the indemnification generates
a taxable obligation. If the receipt of the indemnification generates a taxable obligation of the Indemnifying Party, the amount
of the indemnification shall be adjusted to include the amount of any Taxes due by the Indemnifying Party, also taking into consideration
any tax reductions generated

 

     28 

    	 

    

by the portion of the loss that is effectively
deductible. If the receipt of the indemnification does not generate a taxable obligation, the indemnification shall be paid at
the original amount of the Loss, less the amount of any tax reductions generated by the portion of the Loss that is effectively
deductible.

 

8.2.2.        For
the purposes of the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Purchase Price of the Shares shall be adjusted by the variation of the
CDI until the term of the obligation to indemnify the Oi Group Companies or full payment of the last indemnification due by them,
whichever occurs last.

 

8.3.           Obligation
to Mitigate. The Purchasers' Indemnified Parties shall use their best efforts to refrain from taking any action to aggravate
any Loss incurred by them that may be indemnified by the Oi Group Companies under this Agreement.

 

8.4.           Indemnification
by the Purchasers. The Purchasers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold the Oi Group Companies (in this case,
until the Closing Date), as well as their respective Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents, and respective
successors (the “Seller's Indemnified Parties”, with the Seller's Indemnified Parties or the Purchasers' Indemnified
Parties, as the context requires, referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless and free from any and
all Losses actually incurred by any of the Seller's Indemnified Parties, where such Loss arises, directly or indirectly, from:

 

		(i)	any falsity, inaccuracy, error, or breach in the representations and warranties provided by the
Purchasers, pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement; and/or

 

		(ii)	action or omission of the Purchasers or their Affiliates
that results in a violation of this

 

Agreement.

 

8.5.           Obligation
to Mitigate. The Seller's Indemnified Parties shall use their best efforts to refrain from taking any action to aggravate any
Loss incurred by it that may be indemnified by the Purchasers under this Agreement.

 

8.6.           Survival
of the Obligation to Indemnify. The indemnification obligations set forth in this CHAPTER VIII shall remain in force until
the date of the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, with such term to be increased by an additional period of thirty (30)
days, exclusively so that the Indemnifying Party may notify the Indemnifying Party about the Losses incurred or Third-Party Claims
filed during the term previously provided (the “Final Term”).

 

8.6.1.        In
the event that a Claim Notice or Third-Party Claim Notice is served prior to the end of the Closing Date, the provisions of this
Agreement shall survive and the Closing Date shall be extended for the duration of the claim in question, until final resolution
of such claim (including, for purposes of clarity, (i) any suit, appeal, proceeding, levy, release, action, or other Claim of any
kind brought in continuance, outgrowth, or consequence of the claim originally served, and (ii) all Third-Party Claims already
existing as of the Closing Date), and the respective Loss shall be indemnified and/or reimbursed, as the case may be, even if the
indemnification and/or disbursement by the Indemnifying Party is to occur after the end of the Final Term.

 

8.7.           Indemnification
Procedure for Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Party suffers or incurs Losses subject to indemnification under Sections 8.1
or 8.4 above and not arising out of a Third-Party Claim

 

     29 

    	 

    

(a “Direct Claim”),
such Indemnified Party shall send notice to the Party or Parties obligated to indemnify or reimburse such Loss under such Sections
(“Indemnifying Party”), therein describing the Loss in question, specifying the amount involved, and providing
all reasonable documents and information regarding the Loss (an “Indemnification Notice”).

 

8.7.1.        Answer.
The Indemnifying Party shall have ten (10) Business Days from the receipt of the Indemnification Notice (the “Response
Period”) to send a notice in response (a “Response Notice”), informing the Indemnifying Party of whether
(a) it agrees to indemnify the Loss notified for the amount indicated in the Indemnification Notice, in which case such amount
shall be deemed, on the date of receipt of the Response Notice, to be a Loss Due and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions
of Section 8.10; or (b) it has any objection with respect to the notified Loss and/or its amount, therein stating the grounds for
its objection and providing, to the extent possible, documents and information to support its understanding. In the event the Indemnifying
Party fails to send a Response Notice within the Response Period, the Loss which is the subject of the Indemnification Notice shall
be deemed, at the date of expiration of the Response Period, to be a Loss, and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions
of Section 8.10.

 

8.7.2.        Entire
Objection. If in the Response Notice the Indemnifying Party fully disputes the reported Loss, the Parties shall meet within
five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Response Notice for the purpose of attempting to reach, in good faith, an agreement
as to the treatment to be given to the reported Loss. The failure of the Parties to reach such an amicable solution may be settled
by the dispute resolution mechanisms provided for in CHAPTER XI of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that they may choose
not to initiate arbitration proceedings until the amounts in dispute are sufficient to justify recourse to arbitration, in the
sole discretion of the Party claiming to be a creditor. In this case, such postponement shall not imply and shall not be construed
as a waiver of any right, nor shall it be construed as recognition, implicit or explicit, of any claim or right of the other Party.

 

8.7.3.        Partial
Objection. If in the Response Notice the Indemnifying Party disputes only part of the notified Loss, then (i) the uncontested
portion shall automatically become due from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnifying Party on the date of receipt of the Response
Notice, and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.10, and (ii) the disputed portion shall have the treatment
described in Section 8.7.2 above.

 

8.7.4.        Final
Decision. If a Loss notified via Indemnification Notice is submitted to arbitration proceedings and the Arbitral Tribunal finds
that the disputed amount is due, in whole or in part, by the Indemnifying Party, this amount shall be paid to the Indemnified Party
in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.10.

 

8.8.           Third-Party
Claim Indemnification Procedure. In the event that a Party receives notice of any Claim against it (a “Third-Party
Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for Loss, such Party shall provide notice to the other Party, within one-third
(1/3) of the time to contest the Third-Party Claim as of the date it becomes aware of the Third-Party Claim, informing it of the
Third-Party Claim and specifying the amount involved and providing all reasonable documents and information regarding the Third-Party
Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”).

 

8.8.1.        The
indemnifying Party shall, within the first half of the legal term for the presentation of the

 

     30 

    	 

    

proper defense or answer, (a) make payment
or authorize reimbursement of the amount in question; (b) inform the Indemnified Party whether or not it shall conduct the defense
of such Third-Party Claim; or (c) delegate to the Indemnified Party the presentation of a defense and/or answer to the Third-Party
Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall diligently defend against the Third-Party Claim, it being understood that the
Indemnifying Party's silence shall be deemed as having opted for the provisions of item (c) of this Section and subject to the
provisions of Section 8.8.3.1.

 

8.8.2.        If
the indemnifying Party itself chooses to present an answer or defense, the Indemnifying Party must appoint and hire the attorney
in charge of conducting such objection or defense, provided that, at the option of the Purchasers (i) a first class law firm or
a law firm recognized as an expert in the subject matter of the Third-Party Claim shall be hired; or (ii) priority shall be given
to attorneys already retained for the due causes, and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to grant to the attorney appointed
by the Indemnifying Party the powers necessary for the conduct of the due process, as well as provide all documents and information
necessary for the preparation of the answer or defense. The Indemnifying Party may accompany the defense and shall be reasonably
informed in all proceedings related to any Third-Party Claim conducted by the Indemnifying Party, including through the appointment
(at its expense) of legal counsel other than the counsel retained by the indemnifying Party.

 

8.8.3.        The
Parties shall cooperate with each other in the defense of a particular Third-Party Claim and shall make available, within a reasonable
time for purposes of this Section, to the Party responsible for conducting the defense all witnesses, pertinent files, materials,
and information in the indemnified Party's possession or under its control relating to the Third-Party Claim (or in the possession
or control of any of its Representatives) that are reasonably requested by the Party responsible for conducting the defense or
its attorney.

 

8.8.3.1.     In
the event of a Third-Party Claim that requires, at any time, the submission of collateral or deposits, the indemnifying Party shall,
up to five (5) Business Days prior to the legal deadline for submission of such collateral, make it available, at its own expense,
to the indemnified Party in the form required by law and satisfactory to the court, even if the indemnified Party has assumed the
defense of such Third-Party Claim.

 

8.8.3.2.     Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the indemnifying Party shall, whenever requested by the indemnified Party, take part in the Third-Party Claim that
is related to any liabilities or obligations not assumed by the Purchasers under this Agreement and the Judicial Reorganization
Plan, declaring itself administratively or judicially to be the responsible party for the subject matter of the Third-Party Claim
in lieu of the Mobile SPEs or the Purchasers, as the case may be.

 

8.8.4.        The
Parties shall cause the attorneys retained to keep the Parties informed of the progress of the Third-Party Claim by providing copies
of all pleadings reasonably requested of them.

 

8.8.5.        The
indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim if it obtains a full release from the indemnified Party
with respect to such Third-Party Claim or the written consent of the indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed).

 

8.9.           Fulfillment
of the Procedures. Any failure by the Indemnifying Party to comply with the procedures and commitments under this Agreement,
especially this CHAPTER VIII, shall not relieve

 

     31 

    	 

    

the Indemnifying Party of its obligation
to indemnify or compensate the Indemnified Party for the Loss in question, except to the extent that such Loss could have been
remedied, mitigated, reduced, or avoided had the Indemnified Party complied with the provisions hereof.

 

8.10.         Payment
of Indemnification. The obligation to indemnify shall become due and payable as follows:

 

		(i)	for Losses subject to Direct Claims: (a) upon receipt of an Indemnification Notice, in the amounts
that are not disputed in accordance with Section 8.8 and sub-sections, on the day following the expiration of the period for an
answer; or (b) in the event of an answer, and in respect to the portion so answered, the date upon which the Parties mutually agree
with respect to such portion or upon which an award has been rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal, in the amounts of Loss allocated
by the Arbitral Tribunal to each Indemnifying Party, as the case may be; or

 

		(ii)	for Losses subject to Third-Party Claims: the date on which a Loss becomes due under the terms
of the relevant Third-Party Claim by virtue of a final and unappealable judgment or by settlement in a Third-Party Claim, in the
amount of the Loss due.

 

8.10.1.      Delays
in Payment. The Party that does not fully and timely comply with its obligation to indemnify under this CHAPTER VIII shall
be automatically subject, by operation of law, by and regardless of any notice or summons, to payment of a non-compensatory late
payment fee of two percent (2%) on the overdue amount, plus adjustment per the CDI, plus default interest of one percent (1%) per
month, calculated pro rata die on the adjusted amount, due from the due date until the date of its effective and full payment,
without prejudice to the losses and damages applicable.

 

8.11.         The
Parties agree to use their best commercial efforts to, in good faith and considering market practices, avoid the establishment
of any Loss under this Agreement and, in the case it is established, mitigate its effects.

 

CHAPTER IX

ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS

 

9.1.           Confidentiality.
Due to the access they had and shall have to the Confidential Information, and considering the Non-Disclosure Agreement and the
Antitrust Protocol entered into under the negotiations prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Parties reciprocally undertake
the commitments not to disclose all or part of the subject matter and/or content of this Agreement to any third parties, other
than their respective Representatives who must have access to the Agreement for purposes of compliance with the provisions set
forth herein, under the Law. The Parties shall require their respective Representatives, under their sole responsibility, to (a)
undertake confidentiality commitments equal to those now undertaken by the Parties in this Section 9.1; (b) not allow access to
the Confidential Information of the other Parties to third parties other than their Representatives, and to them only to the extent
necessary to enable the achievement of the subject matter of this Agreement; (c) not use any of the Confidential Information for
any purpose other than the purposes set forth in this Agreement; and (d) maintain the greatest possible confidentiality with respect
to the Confidential Information received.

 

     32 

    	 

    

9.1.1.        The
limitations provided for in this Agreement for the disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply when such Confidential
Information (a) is, on the date hereof, within the public domain; (b) was known by the recipient of the Confidential Information
at the time of its disclosure, not having been obtained, directly or indirectly, from the provider of the Confidential Information,
its Representatives, or third parties subject to the duty of confidentiality; (c) has become generally known to the public, after
the date hereof, as a result of action or omission by the provider of the Confidential Information or any of its Representatives;
or (d) becomes public knowledge after its disclosure to the recipient of the Confidential Information, without any participation
of the latter in the disclosure.

 

9.1.2.        If
the Party receiving the Confidential Information or any of its Representatives is required by law, regulation, court order, or
Governmental Authorities empowered in this regard, to disclose any Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall, if not
prohibited by law, immediately give notice thereof to the Party providing the Confidential Information, in writing and prior to
such disclosure, so that it may seek a court order or other remedy from the appropriate authority preventing the disclosure, except
if the disclosure is required under the capital market Laws applicable to each Party or its Affiliates, in which case the provisions
of Section 9.1.4 shall apply. The receiving Party shall cooperate with the providing Party in obtaining such a court order or other
remedy to prevent the disclosure. The receiving Party further agrees that if the providing Party is unsuccessful in attempting
to waive its obligation to disclose the Confidential Information, it shall disclose only the portion of the Confidential Information
that is legally required and further that it shall use its best efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment
shall be given to the Confidential Information disclosed.

 

9.1.3.        Notwithstanding
the confidentiality commitment set forth in this Section 9.1, the Confidential Information may be disclosed to third parties with
the prior written consent of the Parties.

 

9.1.4.        Announcements.
The Parties agree that, in the event that any Party (or its Affiliates) is required by any Governmental Authority or under any
Law applicable to the capital markets to which such Party is subject to make any public announcement or release with respect to
the Transaction (the “Reporting Party”), the Reporting Party shall inform the other Party of such requirement
and shall take reasonable steps to share and discuss with the other Party the terms of such announcement or release, in order for
the Parties, if applicable, to agree on its content and, if so agreed among the Parties and if possible, release a joint announcement.
Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section, the Reporting Party (as well as its officers and directors) shall have no
obligation to obtain the consent of the other Parties for the public announcement with respect to the Transaction arising from
the request referred to above or any other obligation arising from applicable Law, or from rules or regulations issued by the Brazilian
Securities and Exchange Commission or by the relevant authorities of each applicable jurisdiction.

 

9.1.5.        Assignment
of Confidentiality Commitments. On the Closing Date, the Oi Group Companies shall assign and transfer (or cause to be assigned
and transferred, as the case may be) to the Purchasers all the rights and obligations of Oi Group Companies or any of their Affiliates
the confidentiality commitments with Third Parties so that, as of and including the Closing Date, the Purchasers may, in accordance
with applicable Laws, fully exercise such assigned and transferred rights separately and independently of the Oi Group.

 

9.2.           Access
to Information after the Closing. As of the Closing Date, the Oi Group Companies shall grant (and shall cause their Affiliates
to grant) to the SPEs, the Purchasers, and their respective

 

     33 

    	 

    

representatives or advisors reasonable
access, at appropriate times, to the books, documents, and records of the Seller and Oi Móvel, therein providing the information
and documents in their possession and related thereto, allowing the SPEs and the Purchasers, including, for themselves or through
their representatives or advisors: (i) to verify the operating and accounting procedures and other management information and reports
of the Seller and Oi Móvel, including for the purposes of Section 3.8; (ii) to inspect changes in the liabilities, including
banking, tax, labor, and social security liabilities, of the Seller and Oi Móvel; (iii) to examine documents and information
regarding employees and service providers of the Seller and Oi Móvel; and (iv) to verify the corporate situation and the
legal and/or administrative proceedings to which the Seller or Oi Móvel is a party, as plaintiff, defendant, or co-defendant,
subject to the terms of the Antitrust Protocol.

 

9.3.           Wrong
Pockets. It is the intention of the Parties that the Mobile SPEs hold, on the Closing Date, the full economic and commercial
benefits, as well as the risks and benefits, of the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights that shall be transferred to them
pursuant to Section 5.2 and necessary for their operation and development of their business. In the event that, at any time after
the Closing Date, either Party learns of the existence of assets, rights, equipment, and facilities necessary for the conduct of
the business carried on by the Mobile SPEs that are mistakenly recorded in the accounts or owned by the Seller or any of its Affiliates,
or learns of the existence of assets, rights, equipment, and facilities that are unrelated to the UPI Assets, Obligations, and
Rights transferred to the Mobile SPEs and that are mistakenly recorded in the accounts or owned by the Mobile SPEs, the Parties
shall transfer the assets, rights, equipment, and facilities to the rightful owner in the most expeditious and practical manner
possible. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as arising directly from the instructions of the Purchasers or their counsel,
the Seller, as the Party responsible for implementing the Corporate Reorganization, shall bear any and all costs related to the
transfer of the assets, rights, equipment, and facilities under this Section 9.3, including, but not limited to, the applicable
Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall not affect the determination of the Purchase Price of the
Shares and the Transition Services.

 

9.3.1.        The
commitment of the Parties provided for in Section 9.3 above shall also apply to the rectification of the accounting record or ownership
of assets, rights, equipment, and facilities necessary for the operation and development of the business of each of the Mobile
SPEs, to the extent that the contribution of the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights has been made in disagreement with
the Segregation and Division Plan.

 

9.4.           Non-Compete.
The Oi Group Companies agree not to act or participate, and warrant that their Affiliates shall not act or participate, directly
or indirectly, in the provision of mobile telephony services (Personal Mobile Service - SMP) (i) as an authorized SMP provider
(that is, hold radio frequencies and/or Authorizations for the provision of SMP), (ii) through franchises or as an authorized virtual
network or accredited under ANATEL Resolution No. 550/2010, as amended, or other rules that may regulate the Mobile Virtual Network
Operator- MVNO, and/or (iii) as a mobile network provider, or provider of origin, particularly radio frequencies for
the provision of SMP or mobile service, in any case, and such restrictions also apply to the use or linkage of the “Oi”
trademark, directly or through mobile licenses granted to third parties. For clarification purposes, the obligations undertaken
herein include the performance of the Oi Group Companies as a controlling partner, provider of origin, partner, financing party,
operator, consultant, or otherwise, in any Person that operates in Brazil, and shall be valid for a period of five (5) years, subject
to the following: after the thirty-sixth (36th) month after the Closing, the Seller may act as an accredited and/or authorized

 

     34 

    	 

    

provider of origin (MVNO), or a similar/successive
role to the extent that the applicable regulations are amended, in any case without linking such performance with the use of the
“Oi” brand. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the non-compete obligation set forth
in this section does not apply to (i) the use of radio frequency spectrum by the Oi Group Companies and their Affiliates exclusively
for the provision of Multimedia Communication Services (SCM), and (ii) any wholesale offers by the Oi Group Companies and its Affiliates,
including offers for SMP operators, except for any wholesale offers involving the use of radio frequencies for the provision of
SMP services (such as industrial use, rights of use, sharing, roaming, etc.), which shall not be permitted. The Seller acknowledges
and accepts that this is a fundamental condition of this Agreement and the Transaction. Without prejudice to the right of the Purchasers
to seek specific performance of an obligation hereunder before a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive relief and/or
order and for any other legal remedies that the Purchasers may seek pursuant to or in accordance with the applicable Laws, in the
event of breach of the obligation assumed under this Section 9.3, the Oi Group Companies shall be jointly and severally liable
and shall pay the Purchasers an amount equivalent to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price of the Shares as a non-compensatory
penalty for the breach of this Agreement, without prejudice to other rights hereunder, provided that the non-compensatory penalty
shall be deducted from any damages that are finally determined by settlement or by a final and unappealable decision of a Governmental
Authority. The penalty shall be paid by the Oi Group Companies within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the breach
of the non-compete obligation has been acknowledged by the Oi Group Companies or by a final and unappealable decision of a Government
Authority, whichever occurs first. The Parties agree that the Purchase Price of the Shares includes a portion intended to remunerate
the Seller for the obligations assumed herein, and no additional payment shall be due to the Seller in this regard, for the period
mentioned in this Section.

 

9.5.           Radio
Frequency Purchase Option. Considering the provisions of Section 9.4 above, in the event that any of the Oi Group Companies
or their Affiliates acquire, between the date of execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any rights over authorizations
or Licenses for use of radio frequencies intended by ANATEL for the provision of SMP, the Seller shall communicate such fact to
the Purchasers within five (5) days from the publication of ANATEL's act recognizing the acquisition of such rights. In this case,
provided that the Purchasers may acquire such radio frequencies under applicable regulations, the Purchasers shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to acquire from the Oi Group Companies or its Affiliates, as the case may be, totally or partially, and
always at the same price and under the same conditions, the rights over such authorizations or licenses for the use of radio frequencies
necessarily associated with the authorization for the provision of SMP acquired by the Oi Group Companies or their Affiliates (the
“Radio Frequency Purchase Option”). The exercise of the Radio Frequency Purchase Option shall be exercised between
the date of receipt of the notice from Seller regarding the acquisition of such rights and the twentieth day prior to the date
of execution of the Instrument of Authorization (or other applicable legal instrument, as the case may be) corresponding to the
radio frequency(ies) acquired by the Oi Group Companies or their Affiliates (the “Option Exercise Period”),
provided that the effective transfer of such rights and the corresponding payment of the acquisition price may only occur after
(i) the Closing Date, and (ii) approval of the exercise of the Radio Frequency Purchase Option by CADE and ANATEL, whichever occurs
last. In the event that the Purchasers do not exercise, in whole or in part, within the Option Exercise Period, their Radio Frequency
Purchase Option right over any rights over radio frequencies they may have acquired pursuant to the applicable regulations, and
consequently the Oi Group Companies renounce the Radio Frequencies acquired by virtue of the provisions of Section 9.4 above, the
Purchasers shall, within twenty (20) days of notice from the Oi Group Companies to the Purchasers that they have renounced the
rights of use of the Radio Frequencies, pay to the Seller the amounts

 

     35 

    	 

    

corresponding to the burdens associated
with such waiver, limited to ten percent (10%) of the price of each radio frequency on which it has not exercised the Radio Frequency
Purchase Option, with nothing else being owed by the Purchasers to the Oi Group Companies and their Affiliates, at any time, for
the non-exercise of the Radio Frequency Purchase Option.

 

9.5.1.        If
the option to purchase radio frequencies is not exercised due to regulatory prohibitions or prohibitions imposed by CADE and/or
ANATEL, no amounts shall be owed by the Purchasers to the Oi Group Companies for any reason.

 

9.6.           Substitution
of Guarantees. The Purchasers undertake to use their best efforts to, as of the Closing Date, replace the guarantees provided
by the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates with respect to contracts entered into by the Mobile SPEs and/or related to the UPI
Mobile Assets, Obligations, and Rights, including those set forth in Exhibit 9.6, as such guarantees may be subject to notice
from the Seller to the Purchasers, requesting replacement of such guarantees provided and attaching supporting documentation. The
Purchasers shall submit to the Seller evidence of the release of their respective guarantees as soon as they have been replaced
as provided for herein. In the event of impossibility of replacing any guarantee, the Parties undertake to discuss the best solution
for all the Parties, it being hereby established that the Seller undertakes not to revoke the guarantees it has provided. For the
purposes of clarification, any contractual obligations assumed by the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates under contracts entered
into with third parties that have not been assumed by the Mobile SPEs and/or are not related to the UPI Mobile Assets, Obligations,
and Rights (among which are the Tower Purchase Agreements) are not covered by this section.

 

9.7.           Purchase
of Insurance. As of the Closing, the Purchasers shall provide, to their own account and at their own expense, the insurance
coverage they deem necessary and advisable for the assets and operations of the Mobile SPEs.

 

9.8.           Attorneys-in-Fact.
As of the Closing, the Purchasers shall arrange, on their own behalf and at their own expense, the appointment and accreditation
of attorneys-in-fact with powers to represent the Mobile SPEs before financial institutions with which the Mobile SPEs operate
and/or maintain bank accounts.

 

CHAPTER X

TERM OF DURATION AND TERMINATION

 

10.1.         Term
of Duration. This Agreement enters into force, for all intents and purposes, on the date hereof and shall remain in force until
(a) the consummation of the Transaction; (b) the advance termination by the Purchasers in the events of non-consummation of the
transaction set forth in Sections 5.3.5 and 5.3.7, or in the case of declaration of occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect; or
(c) the end of the period of twenty (20) months counted from this date, without the Transaction having been consummated, whichever

or to be provided in the future by the Seller or one of the Oi Group Companies (or one of their Affiliates), to be taken from

paid in advance, on terms satisfactory to the Purchasers.

 

10.1.1.3.   The
payment of the portion of the penalty corresponding to three percent (3%) of the Base Price referred to in this Section as consideration

addition to the cases provided for in Section 5.3.5, the penalty provided for in Section

 

     37 

    	 

    

10.1.1       shall not apply if the termination
of this Agreement occurs as a result of:

 

		(i)	a decision rendered by any competent Governmental Authority (except CADE and ANATEL) preventing
consummation of the Transaction, in any event until the end of the term set forth in Section 10.1;

 

		(ii)	breach (without corresponding waiver as provided for herein) of any Condition Precedent referred

prejudice to applicable losses and damages.

 

10.2.       Upon
termination of this Agreement and payment of the penalty provided for in Section 10.1.2, no indemnity, penalty, or additional payment
shall be due by the Purchasers to the Seller, except if (a) there is a breach or falsehood in the representations and warranties
provided by the Purchasers in Section 7.2 or (b) breach of the obligations assumed in this Agreement by the Purchasers, in which
case the Seller shall be entitled to additional indemnification if damages or losses are effectively proven in an amount greater
than the amount of the penalty provided for above.

 

10.3.       Effects
of Termination. In any event of termination of this Agreement (a) the provisions of Section 9.1 (Confidentiality), of CHAPTER
XI (Dispute Resolution), of Section 10.1.1 (Break-up Fee), and of CHAPTER XII (General Provisions) shall remain valid and
effective, surviving, therefore, the termination of this Agreement; and (b) the Parties shall not be exempt from liability for

CHAPTER XI

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

11.1.       Arbitration.
Any disputes arising under this Agreement or in any way related to it, including as to its existence, validity, effectiveness,
interpretation of the terms, conditions, performance, or termination (a “Dispute”), shall be settled by arbitration
as provided for in this CHAPTER XI (“Arbitration”).

 

11.2.       The
Parties agree that, before initiating arbitration for the resolution of any Dispute, they shall attempt to negotiate an agreement
for the amicable settlement of such Dispute, within a period not exceeding fifteen (15) Business Days from the receipt by one Party
of notice of the existence of the Dispute sent by the other Party. The Parties agree that their obligation to resolve any Disputes
amicably is an obligation of a means which does not preclude the immediate commencement of arbitration at any time at the sole
discretion of any Party.

 

11.3.       Upon
expiration of such term, or when at the discretion of any of the Parties it is impossible

 

     38 

    	 

    

to obtain an amicable solution, the interested
Party may submit the Dispute to arbitration before the Market Arbitration Chamber (the “Chamber”), in accordance
with its arbitration rules (the “Rules”) in force on the date of the request for initiation of arbitration,
except for the amendments provided for herein.

 

11.4.       The
arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators (the “Arbitral Tribunal”), one appointed by the claimant
party and another appointed by the respondent party, pursuant to the Rules. In the event that there are multiple claimants and/or
respondents, the multiple claimants and/or respondents shall jointly appoint their respective arbitrator. In the absence of an
agreement between the claimants or respondents to appoint the respective co-arbitrator, all arbitrators shall be appointed by the
Chamber. The two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint, by common agreement, the third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of
the Arbitral Tribunal, within the period provided for in the Rules. If any of the three arbitrators is not appointed within that
time limit, it shall be incumbent upon the Chamber to appoint the arbitrator(s) in accordance with the provisions of the Rules.
Any controversy in the appointment of the arbitrators by the parties, as well as the selection of the third arbitrator, shall be
resolved by the Chamber. The Parties, by mutual agreement, hereby waive application of the provisions of the Rules limiting the
choice of sole arbitrator, co-arbitrator, or chairman of the arbitral tribunal to the list of arbitrators of the Chamber.

 

11.5.       The
arbitration shall have its seat in the City of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the award shall be rendered,
and shall be conducted in Portuguese. The Arbitral Tribunal shall judge the merits of the Dispute according to the Brazilian laws
and shall not decide based on equity.

 

11.6.       The
Arbitral Tribunal may grant the urgent, provisional, and definitive remedies it deems appropriate, including those aimed at specific
performance of the obligations under this Agreement. Any order, decision, determination, or award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal
shall be final and binding on the parties and their successors, who expressly waive any appeal. The arbitral award may be enforced
before any judicial authority having jurisdiction over the parties and/or their assets.

 

11.7.       Each
Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in the course of the arbitration and the parties shall apportion in equal parts the
costs and expenses whose cause cannot be ascribed to one of them. The award shall assign to the losing party, or both parties in
proportion to their unsuccessful claims, ultimate responsibility for the cost of the proceedings, including reimbursement of reasonable
contractual fees of counsel and other advisers. The award shall not impose the payment of attorneys' fees for loss of suit.

 

11.8.       Without
prejudice to this arbitration provision, the Parties elect the central courts of the City of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, to the exclusion of any other, however privileged it may be, for the exclusive purpose of hearing and deciding any claims
relating to (i) the granting of emergency measures (provisional or in limine) prior to the establishment of arbitration;
(ii) the events set forth in Law No. 9,307/1996; (iii) the execution of an extrajudicial instrument, assured, however, the prerogative
of choice of the judgment creditor, pursuant to article 781 of the Code of Civil Procedure; and (vi) conflicts that by force of
Brazilian Legislation may not be submitted to arbitration. Any emergency measure granted by the judiciary shall be promptly reported
by the party who requested such measure to the Chamber.

 

11.9.       The
Parties agree that all issues relating to the arbitration, including its very existence, shall

 

     39 

    	 

    

be kept confidential. All elements thereof
(including, without limitation, the parties' briefs, evidence, awards, and other third party filings and any other documents submitted
or exchanged during the course of the arbitration proceedings) shall only be disclosed to the Arbitral Tribunal, the parties, their
counsel, the staff of the Chamber, and any person necessary for the development of the arbitration, unless disclosure is required
for compliance with the obligations imposed by applicable Laws or by any Governmental Authority.

 

11.10.     Any
and all disputes relating to the confidentiality obligation shall be finally and bindingly settled by the Arbitral Tribunal, which
may adopt any measure to safeguard the confidentiality of the arbitration proceedings, or of any other matter relating to the arbitration.

 

11.11.     If
two or more disputes arise with respect to this Agreement, or in any way related to it, their resolution may occur through a single
arbitration proceeding, in accordance with the Rules. Prior to the empaneling of the Arbitral Tribunal, the Chamber shall consolidate
the aforementioned disputes into a single arbitral proceeding, in accordance with the Rules. After the empaneling of the Arbitral
Tribunal, in order to facilitate the resolution of related disputes, the Arbitral Tribunal may, at the request of a party, consolidate
the arbitral proceedings with any other pending arbitral proceedings involving the resolution of disputes arising out of or in
any way connected with this Agreement. The Arbitration Tribunal shall consolidate the proceedings provided that (i) they involve
the same parties; (ii) there are common issues of fact and/or law between them; and (iii) consolidation in these circumstances
does not result in prejudice arising from unreasonable delay in resolving disputes. The competence to order consolidation of proceedings
and conduct the consolidated proceedings shall lie with the first arbitral tribunal empaneled. The decision for consolidation shall
be final and binding on all parties involved in the disputes and arbitral proceedings which are the subject of the consolidation
order. The Oi Group Companies are expressly bound by this arbitration commitment for all legal purposes.
