(c)                                  Other Terminations.  Upon Executive’s termination of employment for any reason other than as set forth in Section 3(a) and Section 3(b), the Company shall not have any other or further obligations to Executive under this Agreement (including any financial obligations) except that Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) Executive’s fully earned but unpaid base salary, through the date of termination at the rate then in effect and (ii) all other amounts or benefits to which Executive is entitled under any compensation, retirement or benefit plan or practice of the Company at the time of termination in accordance with the terms of such plans or practices, including, without limitation, any continuation of benefits required by COBRA or applicable law.  The foregoing shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other rights and remedies which may be available to the Company under the circumstances, whether at law or in equity.

 

(d)                                 Release.  As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any amounts set forth in Section 3(a) or Section 3(b) above, Executive shall execute and not revoke a general release of all claims in favor of the Company (the “Release”) in the form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (and any statutorily prescribed revocation period applicable to such Release shall have expired) within the sixty (60) day period following the date of Executive’s Qualifying Termination.

 

(e)                                  Exclusive Remedy; Other Arrangements.  Except as otherwise expressly required by law (e.g., COBRA) or as specifically provided herein, all of Executive’s rights to salary, severance, benefits, bonuses and other amounts (if any) accruing after the termination of Executive’s employment shall cease upon such termination.  In addition, the severance payments provided for in Section 3(a) and 3(b) above are intended to be paid in lieu of any severance payments Executive may otherwise be entitled to receive under any other plan, program, policy or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates (collectively, “Other Arrangements”).  Therefore, in the event Executive becomes entitled to receive the severance payments and benefits provided under Section 3(a) or 3(b) of this Agreement, he or she shall receive the amounts provided under that section of this Agreement and shall not be entitled to receive any severance payments or severance benefits pursuant to any Other Arrangements.  In addition, to the extent the Executive is a party to any employment agreement, offer letter or other agreement or arrangement with the Company or any of its affiliates, in each case that was entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, and that provides for the payment or provision of severance pay or severance benefits upon an involuntary termination or a resignation of employment for good reason (or term of similar meaning) (such agreement a “Prior Agreement”), the Executive hereby agrees that the severance pay and severance benefit provisions of such Prior Agreement shall be and hereby are superseded by this Agreement and from and after the date of this Agreement, such severance pay and severance benefit provisions of the Prior Agreement shall be and are null and void and of no further force or effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, except as may otherwise be agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company or one of its affiliates after the date of this Agreement, it is intended that the other terms and conditions of any Prior Agreement that do not provide for severance pay or severance benefits, including any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, confidentiality, assignment of inventions covenants and other similar covenants contained therein, shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms (and shall not be

 

6

 

limited by the provisions of any similar covenants set forth herein) for the periods set forth in the Prior Agreement. This Agreement shall not impact or reduce Executive’s rights, if any, to receive under any Other Arrangements reimbursement for, or direct payment to the carrier for, premium costs under COBRA (or any similar medical, dental or vision benefit continuation rights or payments).

 

(f)                                   No Mitigation.  Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 3 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 3 be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment or by retirement benefits; provided, however, that loans, advances or other amounts owed by Executive to the Company may be offset by the Company against amounts payable to Executive under this Section 3.

 

(g)                                  Return of the Company’s Property.  If Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to require Executive to vacate his or her offices prior to or on the effective date of termination and to cease all activities on the Company’s behalf.  Upon the termination of his or her employment in any manner, as a condition to Executive’s receipt of any post-termination benefits described in this Agreement, Executive shall immediately surrender to the Company all lists, books and records of, or in connection with, the Company’s business, and all other property belonging to the Company, it being distinctly understood that all such lists, books and records, and other documents, are the property of the Company.  Executive shall deliver to the Company a signed statement certifying compliance with this Section 3(g) prior to the receipt of any post-termination benefits described in this Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Parachute Payments.

 

(i)                                     It is the objective of this Agreement to maximize Executive’s Net After-Tax Benefit (as defined herein) if payments or benefits provided under this Agreement are subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit by the Company or otherwise to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (all such payments and benefits, including the payments and benefits under Section 3(a) and Section 3(b) hereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”), would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the cash severance payments shall first be reduced, and the non-cash severance payments shall thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments shall be subject to the Excise Tax, but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments), is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments).

 

(ii)                                  The Total Payments shall be reduced by the Company in the following order:  (i) reduction of any cash severance payments otherwise payable to Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, (ii) reduction of any other cash payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, but excluding any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting or payments with respect to any equity award with respect to the Parent’s common stock that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, (iii) reduction of any other payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with Section 409A

 

7

 

of the Code, but excluding any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting and payments with respect to any equity award with respect to the Parent’s common stock that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and (iv) reduction of any payments attributable to the acceleration of vesting or payments with respect to any other equity award with respect to the Parent’s common stock that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code.

 

(iii)                               All determinations regarding the application of this Section 3(h) shall be made by an accounting firm with experience in performing calculations regarding the applicability of Section 280G of the Code and the Excise Tax selected by the Company (“Independent Advisors”).  For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Independent Advisors, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of Independent Advisors, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.  The costs of obtaining such determination and all related fees and expenses (including related fees and expenses incurred in any later audit) shall be borne by the Company.

 

(iv)                              In the event it is later determined that a greater reduction in the Total Payments should have been made to implement the objective and intent of this Section 3(h), the excess amount shall be returned immediately by Executive to the Company, plus interest at a rate equal to 120% of the semi-annual applicable federal rate as in effect at the time of the Change in Control.

 

(i)                                     Withholding.  All compensation and benefits to Executive hereunder shall be reduced by all federal, state, local and other withholdings and similar taxes and payments required by applicable law.

 

4.                                      Restrictive Covenants.

 

(a)                                 The Executive recognizes and agrees that in order to assure that the Executive devotes all of the Executive’s professional time and energy to the operations of the Company while employed by the Company, and that during and after such employment in order to adequately protect the Company’s investment in its proprietary information and trade secrets and to protect such information and secrets and all other confidential information from disclosures to competitors and to protect the Company from unfair competition, certain restrictive covenants as set forth below, are necessary, reasonable and desirable.  The Executive understands and agrees that the restrictions imposed in these covenants represent a fair balance of the Company’s rights to protect its business and the Executive’s right to pursue employment.

 

(b)                                 During the period of the Executive’s service with the Company and for a period of 2 years thereafter, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, (I) solicit for employment or employ (or attempt to solicit for employment or employ), for the Executive or on behalf of any sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or business or any other person (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates), any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or any person who was such an employee during the one-year period preceding

 

8

 

the date of such solicitation, employment or attempted solicitation or employment, or (II) encourage any such employee to leave his or her employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

 

(c)                                  In the event the terms of this Section 4 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to apply only for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, in the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

 

5.                                      Non-disclosure of Proprietary Information

 

(a)                                 Except in connection with the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties or pursuant to Section 5(b), the Executive shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for his benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks and copyrights and applications therefor, ideas, inventions, works, discoveries, improvements, information, documents, formulae, practices, processes, methods, developments, source code, modifications, technology, techniques, data, programs, other know-how or materials, owned, developed or possessed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, whether in tangible or intangible form, information with respect to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, prospects and compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment), or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets.  The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them the foregoing matters are important, material and confidential proprietary information and trade secrets and affect the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates (and any successors or assignees thereof).

 

(b)                                 The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company the earliest practicable notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as practicable, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought and shall reasonably assist such counsel at the Company’s expense in resisting or otherwise responding to such process.

 

(c)                                  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Executive from (i) disclosing information and documents when required by law, subpoena or court order (subject to the requirements of Section 5(b) above), (ii) disclosing information and documents to his professional adviser(s), (iii) disclosing the post-employment restrictions in this Agreement in confidence to any potential new employer, or (iv) disclosing information that has been or is hereafter disclosed and made public through no act or omission of the Executive in violation of this Agreement, any other confidentiality obligation or duty owed to the Company or any act or omission of any person which to the knowledge of the Executive has any legally binding confidentiality obligation or duty to the Company, or is otherwise ascertainable from public or trade sources or otherwise generally known in the trade.

 

6.                                      Non-Disparagement.  Each party to this Agreement (which, in the case of the Company, shall mean its officers and the members of the Board) agrees, during the period of Executive’s service with the Company and thereafter, to refrain from Disparaging (as defined below) the other party and its Affiliates, including, in the case of the Company, any of its services, technologies or practices, or

 

9

 

any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives or stockholders, either orally or in writing.  Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude any party from making truthful statements that are reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or legal process, or to defend or enforce a party’s rights under this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disparaging” means making remarks, comments or statements, whether written or oral, that impugn the character, integrity, reputation or abilities of the person being disparaged.

 

7.                                      Condition to Severance Obligations.  The Company shall be entitled to cease all severance payments and benefits to Executive in the event of Executive’s breach any of the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 or 8 or of any other non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, confidentiality, or assignment of inventions covenants contained in any other agreement between Executive and the Company, which other covenants are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

 

8.                                      Inventions.  All rights to discoveries, inventions, improvements and innovations (including all data and records pertaining thereto) related to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that Executive may discover, invent or originate during the period of his service with the Company, either alone or with others and whether or not during working hours or by the use of the facilities of the Company (“Inventions”), shall be the exclusive property of the Company.  Executive shall promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company, shall execute at the request of the Company any assignments or other documents the Company may deem reasonably necessary to protect or perfect its rights therein, and shall assist the Company, upon reasonable request and at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s rights therein. Executive hereby appoints the Company as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to execute on Executive’s behalf any assignments or other documents reasonably deemed necessary by the Company to protect or perfect its rights to any Inventions.

 

9.                                      Injunctive Relief.  It is recognized and acknowledged by Executive that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 8 will cause irreparable damage to Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 8, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief without the requirement to post bond.

 

10.                               Agreement to Arbitrate.  Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be settled solely and exclusively by binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then prevailing JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, with the following exceptions if in conflict: (a) one arbitrator shall be chosen by JAMS; (b) each party to the arbitration will pay its pro rata share of the expenses and fees of the arbitrator, together with other expenses of the arbitration incurred or approved by the arbitrator; and (c) arbitration may proceed in the absence of any party if written notice (pursuant to the JAMS’ rules and regulations) of the proceedings has been given to such party. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses. The parties agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings. Such decisions and awards rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive. All such controversies, claims or disputes shall be settled in this manner in lieu of any action at law or equity; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed as precluding the bringing an action for injunctive relief pursuant to any applicable Other Arrangement.

 

11.                               At-Will Employment Relationship.  Except as may be expressly provided in an applicable Other Arrangement, Executive’s employment with the Company is at-will and not for any

 

10

 

specified period and may be terminated at any time, with or without Cause or advance notice, by either Executive or the Company.  Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by Executive and an authorized representative of the Company.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.

 

12.                               General Provisions.

 

(a)                                 Successors and Assigns.  The rights of the Company under this Agreement may, without the consent of Executive, be assigned by the Company, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company.  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  The failure of any such successor to so assume this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.  As used in this Agreement, the “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. Executive shall not be entitled to assign any of Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

 

(b)                                 Severability.  In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

 

(c)                                  Interpretation; Construction.  The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement.  This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing the Company, but Executive has participated in the negotiation of its terms.  Furthermore, Executive acknowledges that Executive has had an opportunity to review and revise the Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.  Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision, or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the Company’s right to reduce or eliminate any perquisites (including the use of a Company-owned or leased automobile) that may be provided to the Executive at any time.

 

(d)                                 Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within such State, and without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.  Any suit brought hereon shall be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Los Angeles, California, the parties hereby waiving any claim or defense that such forum is not convenient or proper.  Each party hereby agrees that any such court shall have in personam jurisdiction over it and consents to service of process in any manner authorized by California law.

 

11

 

(e)                                  Notices.  Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated:  (a) by personal delivery when delivered personally; (b) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; (c) by telecopy or facsimile transmission upon acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission; or (d) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt.  Notice shall be sent to Executive at the address set forth below and to the Company at its principal place of business, or such other address as either party may specify in writing.

 

(f)                                   Survival.  Sections 1 (“Definitions”), 3 (“Severance”), 4 (“Restrictive Covenants”), 5 (“Non-Disclosure of Proprietary Information”), 6 (“Non-Disparagement”), 7 (“Condition to Severance Obligations”), 8 (“Inventions”), 9 (“Injunctive Relief”), 10 (“Agreement to Arbitrate”) and 12 (“General Provisions”) of this Agreement shall survive termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

 

(g)                                  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and any covenants and agreements incorporated herein by reference as set forth in Section 7 together constitute the entire agreement between the parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior or simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral, provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, all Other Arrangements (as such Other Arrangements may be amended, modified or terminated from time to time) shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms, subject to Section 3(e) hereof.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of Executive and an authorized representative of the Company.  No oral waiver, amendment or modification will be effective under any circumstances whatsoever.

 

(h)                                 Code Section 409A.

 

(i)                                     The intent of the Parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A and is designated under this Agreement as payable upon Executive’s termination of employment shall be payable only upon Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A (a “Separation from Service”) and, except as provided below, any such compensation or benefits shall not be paid, or, in the case of installments, shall not commence payment, until the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s Separation from Service (the “First Payment Date”).  Any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s Separation from Service but for the preceding sentence shall be paid to Executive on the First Payment Date and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement.

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A, such portion of Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company or (ii) the date of Executive’s death.  Upon the first business

 

12

 

day following the expiration of the applicable Section 409A period, all payments deferred pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries), and any remaining payments due to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

 

(iv)                              Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment as permitted under Section 409A.  Except as otherwise permitted under Section 409A, no payment hereunder shall be accelerated or deferred unless such acceleration or deferral would not result in additional tax or interest pursuant to Section 409A.

 

(v)                                 To the extent that any reimbursements under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, any such reimbursements payable to Executive shall be paid to Executive no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; provided, that Executive submits Executive’s reimbursement request promptly following the date the expense is incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year and the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any subsequent year, other than medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, and Executive’s right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(i)                                     Administration.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered by the Board or a committee thereof to which the Board may delegate such function (the “Committee”).  The Board or the Committee shall have the exclusive power, subject to and within the limitations of the express provisions of this Agreement, to interpret this Agreement and to make factual findings and determinations and take such action in connection with the Agreement as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The Board’s or the Committee’s determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties, and the Board or the Committee shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Agreement.

 

(j)                                    Source of Funds.  Amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement shall be from the general funds of the Company. Executive’s rights to unpaid amounts under this Agreement shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

(k)                                 Consultation with Legal and Financial Advisors.  By executing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that this Agreement confers significant legal rights, and may also involve the waiver of rights under other agreements; that the Company has encouraged Executive to consult with Executive’s personal legal and financial advisors; and that Executive has had adequate time to consult with Executive’s advisors before executing this Agreement.

 

(l)                                     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

EXHIBIT A

 

GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS

 

[The language in this Release may change based on legal developments and evolving best practices; this form is provided as an example of what will be included in the final Release document.]

 

This General Release of Claims (“Release”) is entered into as of this            day of                 ,         , between                  (“Executive”), and Wesco Aircraft Hardware Corporation, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”) (collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”).

 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are parties to that certain Executive Severance Agreement dated as of                     ,          (the “Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that Executive is entitled to certain severance benefits under the Agreement, subject to Executive’s execution of this Release; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive now wish to fully and finally to resolve all matters between them.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and subject to, the severance benefits payable to Executive pursuant to the Agreement, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by Executive, and which Executive acknowledges that he or she would not otherwise be entitled to receive, Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      General Release of Claims by Executive.

 

(a)                                 Executive, on behalf of himself or herself and his or her executors, heirs, administrators, representatives and assigns, hereby agrees to release and forever discharge the Company and all predecessors, successors and their respective parent corporations, affiliates, related, and/or subsidiary entities, and all of their past and present investors, directors, shareholders, officers, general or limited partners, employees, attorneys, creditors, agents and representatives, and the employee benefit plans in which Executive is or has been a participant by virtue of his or her employment with or service to the Company (collectively, the “Company Releasees”), from any and all claims, debts, demands, accounts, judgments, rights, causes of action, equitable relief, damages, costs, charges, complaints, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, suits, expenses, compensation, responsibility and liability of every kind and character whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and costs), whether in law or equity, known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, suspected or unsuspected (collectively, “Claims”), which Executive has or may have had against such entities based on any events or circumstances arising or occurring on or prior to the date hereof, arising directly or indirectly out of, relating to, or in any other way involving in any manner whatsoever Executive’s employment by or service to the Company or the termination thereof, including any and all claims arising under federal, state, or local laws relating to employment, including without limitation claims of wrongful discharge, breach of express or implied contract, fraud, misrepresentation, defamation, or liability in tort, and claims of any kind that may be brought in any court or administrative agency including, without limitation, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C.

Section 1981, et seq.; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 621, et seq. (the “ADEA”); the Equal Pay Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 206(d); regulations of the Office of Federal Contract

(iv)                              Claims for indemnity under the bylaws of the Company or its affiliates, as provided for by law or under any applicable insurance policy with respect to Executive’s liability as an employee, director or officer of the Company pursuant to which Executive is covered as of the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries;

 

(v)                                 Claims based on any right Executive may have to enforce the Company’s executory obligations under the Agreement;

 

(vi)                              Claims Executive may have to vested or earned compensation and benefits; and

Executive further acknowledges that the Company has advised him or her that he or she is waiving his or her rights under the ADEA, and that Executive should consult with an attorney of his or her choice before signing this Release, and Executive has had sufficient time to consider the terms of this Release.  Executive represents and acknowledges that if Executive executes this Release before [twenty-one (21)/forty-five (45)] days have elapsed, Executive does so knowingly, voluntarily, and upon the advice and with the approval of Executive’s legal counsel (if any), and that Executive voluntarily waives any remaining consideration period.

 

(c)                                  Executive understands that after executing this Release, Executive has the right to revoke it within seven (7) days after his or her execution of it.

The Company, the Existing Shareholders and TRIP Shareholders desire to promote their mutual interests by amending and restating the Second
Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement (with such amendment and restatement to be effective upon the consummation of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement as contemplated by Article X) in order to, among other

from the Company, by purchase from a third party, or pursuant to the exercise of any option, all upon the terms and conditions set forth below. 

The Company and the Shareholders desire to cause each Person who shall from time to time after such date become a holder of the Equity

 (ii) after March 10, 2013: (A) any Existing Shareholder may Transfer

thereof shall sign a Joinder Agreement and, if required by applicable law (as determined by the Company), shall cause one 

  
 -10- 

 
or more Spousal Consents to be signed by the individuals requested by the Company; provided, however, that no such Transfer shall release the transferor of its obligations under
this Agreement. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1(a) to the contrary, no Shareholder may Transfer any right, title or
interest in any or all of its Equity Securities if such Transfer would result in or be reasonably likely to result in a violation of any aspect of the provision of the Brazilian Aviation Code (law no. 7.565/86) that requires a specified percentage

 Section 2.2 RIGHT
OF FIRST OFFER FOR THE EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS. 

(a) After March 10, 2013, any Existing Shareholder, TRIP Shareholder or a Permitted Transferee of a TRIP Shareholder (an
“Initiating Shareholder”) may Transfer its Equity Securities (the “Offered Securities”) only if such Initiating Shareholder first offers the other Existing Shareholders and the TRIP Shareholders and the Permitted
Transferees of the TRIP Shareholders (the “Other Shareholders”) the right to purchase all such Offered Securities pursuant to a written notice (the “First Offer Notice”). 

(b) In the event the Other Shareholders do not, individually or collectively, offer to purchase all of the Offered Securities on terms that
are acceptable to the Initiating Shareholder within 30 days after the First Offer Notice is given (the “First Offer Period”), then, subject to Section 2.3, the Initiating Shareholder shall have the right, for a period of 90
days after expiration of the First Offer Period, to sell the Offered Securities to a Third Party Purchaser on terms that are more favorable to the Initiating Shareholder than the highest price for which any one or more Other Shareholder(s) shall
have offered to purchase all of the Offered Securities from the Initiating Shareholder in writing during First Offer Period; provided, however, that, for the purposes of this clause (b), in the event that the price offered by a Third
Party Purchaser is at least 95% of the highest price offered by any Other Shareholder to the Initiating Shareholder during the First Offer Period, then the terms of sale offered to the Initiating Shareholder by such Third Party Purchaser shall not,
solely by virtue of the price offered by such Third Party Purchaser, be deemed not to be “more favorable” to the Initiating Shareholder than those offered by any Other Shareholder; provided, further, however, that, in
the event that the Other Shareholders shall not have offered in writing to acquire all of the Offered Securities from the Initiating Shareholder during the First Offer Period, the Initiating Shareholder shall, subject to Section 2.3, have the
right, for a period of 90 days after expiration of the First Offer Period, to sell the Offered Securities to a Third Party Purchaser on any terms. In any event, the consideration to be paid by such Third Party Purchaser may consist only of cash and
Freely Tradeable Securities. 
 (c) In the event that more than one Other Shareholder shall offer to purchase, collectively, all or more
than all of the Offered Securities on terms acceptable to the Initiating Holder, such Other Shareholders shall have the right to purchase the Offered Securities from the Initiating Shareholder in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (or in
such other proportion as they shall otherwise agree). 

  
 -11- 

 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall any Shareholder,
including the Initiating Shareholder, be permitted to make any Transfer of Equity Securities under this Section 2.2 at any time: (i) following the exercise by the holders of Investor Preferred Shares of any remedies hereunder in respect of
the occurrence of a Trigger Event, including, without limitation, the exercise by such holders of any rights under Section 2.6 in respect of such Trigger Event; or (ii) during which the Company is engaged in a Qualified IPO process. 

Section 2.3 CO-SALE RIGHTS BY THE EXISTING
SHAREHOLDERS. 
 (a) At least 20 days prior to the consummation of any Transfer to a Third Party Purchaser
after expiration of the First Offer Period as provided in Section 2.2, the Initiating Shareholder shall deliver a written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) to each of the Other Shareholders offering the Other Shareholders the
option to participate as sellers in such proposed Transfer. Such Co-Sale Notice shall identify the Third Party Purchaser and specify in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of the Transfer, including the price to be paid. 

(b) Each Other Shareholder may, within 20 days of the giving of the Co-Sale Notice, give written notice (a “Tag-Along
Notice”) to the Initiating Shareholder stating that such Other Shareholder wishes to participate in such proposed Transfer and specifying the number and type of Equity Securities such Other Shareholder desires to include in such proposed
Transfer. Each Other Shareholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate consideration paid by the Third Party Purchaser to all of the Other Shareholders participating in such proposed Transfer. In any event, the
consideration to be paid by such Third Party Purchaser shall consist only of cash and Freely Tradeable Securities, and to the extent such consideration consists of Freely Tradeable Securities, the fair market value of such consideration shall be the
average closing price of such Freely Tradeable Securities on the last three trading days before the consummation of the Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser. 

(c) If none of the Other Shareholders gives the Initiating Shareholder a timely Tag-Along Notice with respect to the Transfer proposed in the
Co-Sale Notice, the Initiating Shareholder may thereafter Transfer the Equity Securities specified in the Co-Sale Notice on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Co-Sale Notice. If one or more of the Other Shareholders gives the Initiating
Shareholder a timely Tag-Along Notice, then the Initiating Shareholder shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Third Party Purchaser to agree to acquire all Equity Securities identified in all Tag-Along Notices that are timely given to the
Initiating Shareholder, upon the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Initiating Shareholder’s Equity Securities (including, without limitation, with respect to price and form of payment). If the Third Party Purchaser is unwilling or
unable to acquire all Equity Securities proposed to be included in such sale upon such terms, then the Initiating Shareholder may elect either (i) to cancel such proposed Transfer (including any securities to be sold by the Initiating
Shareholder in connection therewith) or (ii) to allocate the maximum number of Equity Securities that the Third Party Purchaser is willing to purchase among the Initiating Shareholder and the Other Shareholders giving timely Tag-Along Notices
in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall any
Shareholder, including the Initiating Shareholder, be permitted to make any Transfer of 

  
 -12- 

 
Equity Securities under this Section 2.3 at any time: (i) following the exercise by the holders of Investor Preferred Shares of any remedies hereunder in respect of the occurrence of a
Trigger Event, including, without limitation, the exercise by such holders of any rights under Section 2.6 in respect of such Trigger Event; or (ii) during which the Company is engaged in a Qualified IPO process. 

Section 2.4 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON
TRANSFERS BY MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS. 
 (a) In the event that
after March 10, 2013 a Minority Shareholder receives and desires to accept an arm’s length written offer (a “Third Party Offer”) from a Third Party Purchaser to purchase some or all of its Equity Securities for cash (such
Equity Securities, the “ROFR Securities”), such Minority Shareholder shall promptly provide a copy thereof to the Company. 

(b) The Company shall have the right to purchase from such Minority Shareholder all but not less than all of the ROFR Securities proposed to
be sold pursuant to the Third Party Offer on the same terms and conditions as those contained therein (including, without limitation, with respect to price and form of payment). The Company may exercise such option by giving written notice (an
“ROFR Exercise Notice”) to such Minority Shareholder within 45 days after receipt of a copy of the Third Party Offer (the “ROFR Exercise Period”). 

(c) If the Company shall elect to purchase all of the ROFR Securities proposed to be sold pursuant to the Third Party Offer, the closing of
any purchase and sale thereof shall occur at the location specified in the ROFR Exercise Notice on the date and at the time specified therein (or at such other place, date and time mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Minority Shareholder).
At the closing of any such purchase and sale, such Minority Shareholder shall Transfer the ROFR Securities to the Company by delivering one or more certificates representing the ROFR Securities or by executing the relevant transfer term (termo de
transferência) in the Share Transfer Register in order to perfect such Transfer of the Equity Securities by such Minority Shareholder, in each instance free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens (x) in respect of accrued taxes not
yet payable, (y) arising under the Transaction Documents and (z) created under or applicable securities laws), and delivery of such certificates of authority, consents to transfer and other instruments or evidences of good title to the
ROFR Securities as may be reasonably requested by the Company. 
 (d) If the Company shall fail to deliver a ROFR Exercise Notice during the
ROFR Exercise (or if, at any time during the ROFR Exercise Period, the Company shall notify such Minority Shareholder that the Company will not deliver a ROFR Exercise Notice during the ROFR Exercise Period), such Minority Shareholder shall be free,
for a period of 45 days following expiration of the ROFR Exercise Period (or, if applicable, for 45 days after such Minority Shareholder’s receipt of a notice that the Company will not deliver a ROFR Exercise Notice during the ROFR Exercise
Period) to sell the ROFR Securities identified in the Third Party Offer to the Third Party Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Any sale of Equity Securities to a different Person than the Third Party Purchaser
identified in the Third Party Offer and any sale of Equity Securities that is not at the same price or is on other terms or subject to other conditions that are different from those described in the Third Party Offer, shall require such Minority
Shareholder to deliver a copy of the new terms and conditions of such sale to the Company and will re-commence the provisions of this Section 2.4.

except that each Shareholder would be entitled to be paid its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate consideration paid to the Shareholders in such Sale of the Company (it is understood and agreed that the Requisite Holders may exercise such right only if,
subject to the proviso to this sentence, they require each other Shareholder to participate in such Sale of the Company and thereby cause the sale of 100% of the equity of the Company); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Requisite Holders and any such other Shareholder that is an employee or management member of the Company may agree to permit such Shareholder to “rollover” all or a portion of such Shareholder’s Equity Securities into
equity interests in the acquiring or surviving Person in such Sale of the Company. The Requisite Holders shall give the Company and each other Shareholder written notice of such determination not less than 45 days prior to the proposed date of the
Sale of the Company (a “Company Sale Notice”). To the extent such consideration does not consist solely of cash, the fair market value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board (it is understood and agreed
that, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 2.6(a), the proportion of cash to non-cash consideration paid to each Shareholder shall be the same). 

(b) In any Sale of the Company under this Section 2.6, each Shareholder: 

(i) shall, severally and not jointly, make the same representations, warranties and covenants, and provide the same
indemnities, regarding the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective assets, liabilities and business as those made by the Requisite Holders; 

(ii) shall (mutatis mutandis), severally and not jointly, make the same representations, warranties and
covenants, and provide the same indemnities, regarding itself as the representations, warranties and covenants made, and indemnities provided by the Requisite Holders regarding themselves; and

 (c) In any Sale of the Company under this Section 2.6, the Company and each Shareholder shall take all commercially reasonable
action in its power necessary to cause the consummation of such Sale of the Company, including, without limitation, obtaining all consents 

  
 -14- 

 
and approvals reasonably necessary, desirable or appropriate for such Shareholder to consummate such Sale of the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Shareholder agrees to vote its
Equity Securities in favor of any Sale of the Company under this Section 2.6 in which the Requisite Holders have determined to participate or otherwise effect and waive all appraisal and dissenters’ or similar rights that are applicable to
such Sale of the Company.

Equity Securities held by each such oversubscriber at the time the issuance of such Equity Securities commenced for purposes of the Corporation Law) unless they shall otherwise agree among themselves. 

(b) The preemptive rights for subscription of Equity Securities issued by the Company in accordance with the Corporation Law may be assigned

 (c) third, all remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be paid to the holders of Common Shares and
Preferred Shares such that the amount paid in respect of each Preferred Share shall equal 24.10 times the amount paid in respect of each Common Share; 

provided, however, that in the event of a Liquidation referred to in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of Sale of the Company, the

Section 4.2 PAYMENT TO INDIRECT OWNERS UPON
LIQUIDATION.

substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company evidencing the transfer of good and marketable title to such membership interests to the Company, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens (x) in respect of accrued taxes not yet payable

the Existing Shareholders), plus any declared and unpaid dividends on such Investor Preferred Shares; and (ii) the Fair Market Value (in US$) of such Investor Preferred Shares. 

(b) “Fair Market Value” means the fair market value of the Investor Preferred Shares, as agreed to by the Company and the
Requisite Holders, or if such agreement does not occur within 60 days after the Company shall receive the Put Notice, the value determined, without discount for minority, illiquidity or other matters, by the average of the values determined by two
internationally recognized investment banks with expertise in aviation (one selected by the Company and one by the Requisite Holders on behalf of the Investors) or, in the event the two values are more than 15% apart, by a third investment bank
selected by the first two (which will be required to select one of the valuations determined by the first two investment banks). The Company, on the one hand, and the Investors, on the other hand, would each pay the fees of the investment bank
selected by them, and they would split the fees of the third investment bank, if any (each Investor would pay a portion of such fees and expenses equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the number of Investor Preferred Shares owned by such
Investor by the aggregate number of Investor Preferred Shares owned by all Investors).

 Section 5.3 PAYMENT TO INDIRECT
OWNERS UPON EXERCISE OF PUT RIGHT. 

(a) Instead of the obligation to pay an Existing Shareholder the portion of the Put Value to which it is entitled pursuant to
Section 5.1(d), an Existing Shareholder that is an LLC shall, if there are no Adverse Tax Law Changes (including any such changes which would adversely affect a subsequent liquidation of the Shareholder) between March 10, 2008 and the date

the Existing Shareholder) to instead be paid to the member(s) of such Existing Shareholder through the purchase of all (but not less than all) of the membership interests of such Existing Shareholder at the same time such amount is required to be
paid pursuant to Section 5.1(c). Such Existing Shareholder may exercise such right by giving the Company written notice thereof not less than ten Business Days before such amount is required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.1(c). 

(b) The obligation of the Company to cause the purchase of the membership interest in an Existing Shareholder pursuant to Section 5.3(a)
shall not be required in the event that at the time the Put Value is required to be paid by the Company such Existing Shareholder has any liabilities or obligations other than under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and de
minimis ongoing expenses related to the existence of such LLC (e.g., franchise taxes) and shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that such Existing Shareholder: (i) was formed
solely for the purpose of holding Preferred Shares; and (ii) has no liabilities or obligations other than under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and de minimis ongoing expenses related to the existence of such LLC
(e.g., franchise taxes). Additionally, the Company shall only be required to pay for such membership interests against receipt of an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company evidencing the transfer of good and
marketable title to such membership interests to the Company, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens (x) in respect of accrued taxes not yet payable (but any such taxes shall be paid by the owner of such Existing Shareholder when due an
payable) and (y) created under or applicable securities laws) and such certificates of authority, consents to transfer and other instruments or evidences of good title to such membership interests (and evidence that such LLC owns its Investor
Preferred Shares free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens (x) in respect of accrued taxes not yet payable and (y) created under or applicable securities laws) as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs (in the case of any individual), successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Shareholder may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests
or obligations hereunder, except as expressly permitted herein and that David Neeleman may assign his right to elect directors pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(iv). Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Agreement shall be null
and void ab initio. 
 Section 11.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto) embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and
merges in, supersedes and cancels all prior written or oral commitments, arrangements or understandings with respect thereto, including the Term Sheet dated February 1, 2008, the Original Shareholders Agreement, the First Amended and Restated
Shareholders Agreement, (subject to Article X) the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement, the Memorandum of Understanding, dated May 18, 2012, among the Company, Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras S.A., TRIP and the TRIP
Shareholders. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 Section 11.4 MODIFICATIONS, AMENDMENTS AND
WAIVERS. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing that expressly states that it is modifying or amending this Agreement and that is signed by the Company, the
Requisite Holders, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Founder Preferred Shares and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Common Shares; provided, however, that any such modification or amendment shall not be
effective against a holder of Investor Preferred Shares, Founder Preferred Shares or Common Shares (as the case may be) without such holder’s prior written consent with respect to any modification or amendment to this Agreement that would have
the effect of treating such holder disproportionately adverse in relation to other holders of Investor Preferred Shares, Founder Preferred Shares or Common Shares (as the case may be). Any party hereto may (or the Requisite Holders, the holders of a
majority of the then-outstanding Founder Preferred Shares and the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Common Shares on behalf of any Shareholder may), only by an instrument in writing that expressly states that it is waiving compliance
with this Agreement, waive compliance by any other party or parties hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other party or 

  
 -30- 

 
parties hereto to be performed or complied with. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial
exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of
any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder. 

Section 11.5 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and each of which shall be deemed an original, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by a party and delivered to the other parties. Copies of executed counterparts
transmitted by telecopy, telefax or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Section 11.5, provided that receipt of copies of such counterparts is confirmed. This Agreement
shall be effective when signed by the Persons required to effect an amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement pursuant to Section 11.4 thereof. 

Section 11.6 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF BRAZIL WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD DEFER TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. 

Section 11.7 Arbitration. 

(a) Except as set forth in Section 11.7(l) and (m), each Shareholder and the Company agree that all disputes between or among any of them
or any of their respective Affiliates arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or any further agreements resulting herefrom, will be finally resolved exclusively by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber
of Commerce as modified (if at all) by the provisions herein. All disputes concerning or relating to arbitrability of a dispute under this Agreement or the jurisdiction of the arbitrators shall be resolved in the first instance by the arbitrators.

 (b) The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators (the “Tribunal”). Each party to the arbitration
shall select a single arbitrator (each, a “Party-Appointed Arbitrator”). The claimant will select its Party-Appointed Arbitrator in its request for arbitration and the respondent will select its Party-Appointed Arbitrator in
its answer. The Party-Appointed Arbitrators will attempt to agree on a chairman. If, within 30 days after the confirmation of the last Party-Appointed Arbitrator, they have not agreed on a chairman, then the chairman will be appointed by the
International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If any party to the arbitration shall fail to select its Party-Appointed Arbitrator as provided above, the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber
of Commerce will appoint such Party-Appointed Arbitrator. All three arbitrators will be neutral and independent of the parties to the Arbitration and their respective Affiliates. There shall be no ex-parte communications with the arbitrators
after the first organizational meeting. 

  
 -31- 

 (c) In the event a dispute involves more than two parties, the parties shall attempt to align
themselves into two sides (i.e., claimant and respondent), and each side shall appoint one of the Party-Appointed Arbitrators as if there were only two parties to the dispute. If such alignment and appointment shall not have taken place
within 30 days after submission of the answer, the International Chamber of Commerce shall appoint all three arbitrators. 
 (d) Prior to
commencing arbitration, a party shall deliver notice of the applicable dispute to the other parties and the parties shall meet and discuss possible resolution of such dispute. Within 30 days of delivery of notice of a dispute, representatives of the
parties to the arbitration shall meet and attempt to negotiate a resolution. Any dispute remaining after notice and the expiration of such 30-day period will be finally resolved in the manner set forth in Section 11.7(a). 

(e) The confidentiality of all proceedings shall be strictly maintained, as shall the confidentiality of any documents, deposition testimony
or other information exchanged in connection with the arbitral proceedings (except if disclosure of such proceedings and information may be required by application laws, rules or regulations, including, but not limited to, in any judicial proceeding
brought to enforce these arbitration provisions or any award rendered hereunder). 
 (f) The arbitrators are authorized to consolidate
multiple disputes between the parties to this Agreement where efficient and appropriate. 
 (g) The arbitral proceedings and all documents
delivered to or by the arbitrators shall be conducted in English. 
 (h) The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. 

(i) The Tribunal shall render findings of fact and conclusions of law and a written award setting forth the basis and reasons for any decision
rendered. The decision of the Tribunal will be final and may not be appealed. 
 (j) The costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be
borne equally by the parties to the arbitration. In addition, the parties hereby acknowledge and confirm that each party shall bear all of its own costs in connection with all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and all further agreements resulting herefrom, and which are being settled by the International Chamber of Commerce, in its entirety, irrespective of the outcome of the arbitral proceedings. 

(k) The Tribunal will not act as amiables compositeurs or ex aequo et bono. 

(l) No party to this Agreement shall be precluded from applying for specific performance or injunctive relief (including, without limitation,
a temporary restraining order) hereunder before any court or court of competent jurisdiction instead of the arbitration provisions of this Section 11.7. 

  
 -32- 

 (m) Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered by any court or courts of competent
jurisdiction including, but not limited to, any court that has jurisdiction over any of the parties or any of their assets. 
 (n) To the
extent it has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to
itself, or its property, the Company and each Shareholder, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations with respect to this Agreement. 

(o) No party to this Agreement is permitted to bring an arbitration on a class action basis. 

Section 11.8 SEVERABILITY. To the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable
law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect. Such parties further agree that any provision of this Agreement which, notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, is rendered or held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, but such ineffectiveness shall be limited as follows: (a) if such provision is rendered or held invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in such jurisdiction only as to a particular Person or Persons or under any particular circumstance or circumstances, such provision shall be ineffective, but only in such jurisdiction and only with respect to such particular Person
or Persons or under such particular circumstance or circumstances, as the case may be; (b) without limitation of clause (a), such provision shall in any event be ineffective only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not render invalid, illegal or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; and (c) without limitation of
clause (a) or (b), such ineffectiveness shall not render invalid, illegal or unenforceable this Agreement or any of the remaining provisions hereof. 

Section 11.9 NO PRESUMPTION. With regard to each and every term and condition of this
Agreement, the parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any
agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration shall be given to the issue of which party hereto actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject hereto. 

Section 11.10 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. This
Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or
remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 Section 11.11
NON-RECOURSE. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, consultant, representative or principal of the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company shall have any liability for any liabilities of Company under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

  
 -33- 

 Section 11.12 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each
of the parties hereto acknowledges that the others would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and
therefore, each of the parties agrees that the others shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief (including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order) in accordance with Section 11.7(l) and other equitable relief
that may be awarded by the Tribunal in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled hereunder (without the necessity of proving the inadequacy as a remedy of money damages or the posting of a bond). 

Section 11.13 BUSINESS DAYS. If any date provided for in this Agreement shall fall on
a day that is not a Business Day, the date provided for shall be deemed to refer to the next Business Day. 
 Section 11.14
CURRENCY MATTERS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all BR$ amounts to be translated to US$ under this Agreement, and all US$ amounts to be translated to BR$ under this Agreement, as
of any date, shall be translated at the PTAX Exchange Rate. 
 Section 11.15 PORTUGUESE
TRANSLATION. 
 (a) This Agreement has been negotiated and executed in the English language. To prevent
the possibility of having different and, eventually, conflicting translations of this Agreement into Portuguese, the parties to this Agreement unconditionally and irrevocably agree that only one translation of this Agreement (the “Agreed
Sworn Translation”) shall be prepared, exist and be used by the parties for any purposes or in any situation in which the submission of a translation of this Agreement into Portuguese language is required under Brazilian law, including,
without limitation, for the (i) filling of this Agreement in the Company’s headquarters, (ii) presentation or filing, if required, of this Agreement with any Governmental Authority in Brazil, such as ANAC, CADE or any Brazilian court
having jurisdiction, as provided pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 (b) The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably agree that the Agreed
Sworn Translation shall be prepared by Mr. Manoel Reverendo Vidal Neto. Any of the parties to this Agreement shall have the right to, upon presentation of a manifest error, disagree with the contents of the Agreed Sworn Translation prepared by
Mr. Manoel Reverendo Vidal Neto, within five Business Days after receipt thereof. In this event, if the Agreed Sworn Translation is not corrected within five Business Days thereafter, any party to this Agreement shall have the right to request
that a second, final and binding sworn translation into Portuguese of this Agreement is prepared by Mr. Antônio Ernesto Pasqualin and that the translation prepared by Mr. Manoel Reverendo Vidal Neto is destroyed and disregarded for
all purposes. The Portuguese sworn translation prepared by Mr. Antônio Ernesto Pasqualin shall immediately, without the necessity of any act by any of the parties hereto, become the Agreed Sworn Translation and be final and binding upon
the parties. 
 (c) The absence of an objection by any of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the contents of Mr. Manoel
Reverendo Vidal Neto’s translation within such five Business Days shall be considered as an irrevocable approval thereof. 

  
 -34- 

 (d) The parties to this Agreement further agree that until such date when the Agreed Sworn
Translation is available, no other translation of this Agreement into Portuguese shall be used by the parties, for any reason, provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 11.15 shall not prevent any party from obtaining another sworn
translation to enforce any of its rights under this Agreement in the event of a default by any other party hereto. In such case, the parties shall substitute such translation for the Agreed Sworn Translation as soon as it is available.
