2.1.             Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, and Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, the Shares, free and clear of Liens, and together with all rights attaching thereto, except with regard to the interest on capital (juros sobre capital próprio) declared by Company on June 20th, 2011, which shall be paid to Seller, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the minutes of the Board of Directors of Company of June 20th, 2011.

In the event the number of shares of Company to be sold pursuant Agreement is reduced by Buyer, the definition of the term “Shares” under this Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the number of shares of Company actually sold by Seller to Buyer.

 

  

  

  

 

2.2.             Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.8 herein, the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder shall be held on a date and at a time to be mutually agreed by the Parties, but in no event more than 3 Business Days after the execution of this Agreement (such date, the “End Date”).  This Agreement may be terminated by (a) Buyer if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.8 to be incapable of being satisfied by the End Date and (b) Seller if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.8.1 to be incapable of being satisfied by the End Date.

Any such termination by Buyer or Seller shall be made by giving written notice to the other Party and shall be without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, partner, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Parties to this Agreement; provided that, if such termination shall result from the willful failure of any Party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of another Party, failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement or breach by any Party hereto of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such Party shall be fully liable for any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any other Party as a result of such failure or breach.  The provisions of this Section 2.2 and Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.13, 6.1 and 6.2 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to this Section 2.2.

2.2.1.          Upon the execution of this Agreement the Closing shall occur on the time and date set forth in Section 2.2 above (the “Closing Date”) and, except as set forth in Sections 2.8 and 2.8.1, is not subject to any conditions whatsoever.

2.3.1.          The total amount of the Payment shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any Tax or bank fees and commissions. In the event the applicable rate for the remittance of the Payment to Seller’s bank account of the Imposto sobre Operações de Crédito, Câmbio e Seguros ou relativas a Títulos e Valores Mobiliários – IOF is, at the Closing Date, different from 0,38%, the total amount of the Payment shall be adjusted accordingly in order to assure that the amount received by Seller, after the withholding of the IOF and further withholding or deduction for any Tax or bank fees and commissions, is equivalent to R$ 25,50, per Share, converted to United States Dollars as provided for in Section 2.3 above, provided that Seller shall be solely responsible for collection and/or withholding of any Taxes arising out of the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement that, by Law, is of Seller’s responsibility.  Seller shall fully indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from any and all costs, expenses, fees, losses or damages Buyer and its Affiliates may incur deriving from or relating to any Tax assessment, disputes or obligations imposed on or against them in connection with the Tax collection and/or withholding obligation that, by Law, is of Seller’s responsibility.

4.                Indemnification

4.1.             Indemnification. Each Party shall indemnify (“Indemnifying Party”) and defend (in the case of Third Party Claims) the other Party, their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, agents, and representatives (“Indemnified Party”), and hold the foregoing harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by the Indemnifying Party under Section 3 above for which notice is given by Indemnified Party; or (b) any nonperformance by the Indemnifying Party of any obligations to be performed by or on the part of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

 

  

  

  

 

4.2.             Indemnification Procedure. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any event that might entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification, as a result of a Loss under this Agreement (“Claim”). Such notification shall be made within 5 Business Days of the date a Claim comes to the attention of the Indemnified Party as the Indemnified Party may deem expected to cause a Loss, provided that, in case said Loss is based on a legal action or proceeding brought by a third-party (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify in writing the Indemnifying Party no later than the date that is the end of the first one third (1/3) of the legal timeframe to file defenses or counterclaims against the Third Party Claim in question (“Defense”). The failure to provide such notice for indemnification within the aforementioned periods shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations it may have under this Section 4 with respect to such Loss, except and only to the extent that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of material rights or defenses that it would otherwise have.

4.2.1.        The Indemnifying Party may conduct the Defense in any Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice, if it so elects by sending a written notification to that effect to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the notification described in Section 4.2 above; provided, that such notification must include an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Defense conducted by the Indemnifying Party shall be made in cooperation with the Indemnified Party, which shall be informed reasonably in advance of any major step of proceedings and which may appoint (at its own cost) any legal advisor in addition to the one(s) appointed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the conduction of the Defense (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost), providing access to all information and documentation reasonably required and necessary for the preparation and conduction thereof. The Indemnified Party may only settle the Third Party Claims without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party refuses to conduct the Defense of such a Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may only settle the Third Party Claims if the Indemnifying Party accepts and undertakes the conduct of the Defense of such Third Party Claim and (i) the Indemnified Party consents in writing to such settlement or (ii) such settlement includes a full release of the Indemnified Party, no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and no restriction or obligation of any type on the Indemnified Party.

4.3.             Payment or Reimbursement. In the event that a Claim have been finally ascertained, the amount of such Loss set forth in such final decision shall be paid to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with a copy of such final decision. A Claim, and the liability for the Loss therefore, shall be deemed to be finally determined for purposes of this Section (a) with respect to matters other than Third Party Claims, when the Parties have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when final decision from the Arbitration Tribunal in respect thereof has been rendered; and (b) with respect to Third Party Claims, when a final non-appealable order shall have been granted (decisão transitada em julgado).

 

  

  

  

 

4.4.             Cap. In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for indemnification under this Agreement in respect of Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of the Purchase Price, including for Losses for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a) - (f) or resulting from fraud (fraude) or willful misconduct (dolo). Further, in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for indemnification under this Agreement in respect of Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of 15% the Purchase Price for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(g) - (l).  Such 15% shall be considered a cap only for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(g) - (l) by Seller.

 

4.5.             Remedies.

5.3.             Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including investment advisory and legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.4.             Late Payments. If any payment that is required to be made under this Agreement is not made when due, the amount due shall bear (i) a one-time penalty fee of 10% (ten percent), in addition to (ii) late payment compounded interest at a rate of 3% per month, unless another specific rate of interest is specified herein with respect to obligation to make such payment, without prejudice to Seller’s right in terminating this Agreement or seeking specific performance of Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement.

5.5.             Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including its Schedules) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, whether written or oral.

5.6.             Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement and the rights hereunder are not assignable unless such assignment is consented to in writing by each of Buyer, Seller and Seller Guarantors, provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates without the consent of Seller.

5.8.             Waiver. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

5.9.             Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to an Indemnified Party that is not a Party to this Agreement, and in that case only in connection with the rights set forth in Section 4 (Indemnification) hereof,  nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person or entity that is not a Party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party.

5.10.           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are, to the greatest extent possible, consummated as originally contemplated hereby.

5.11.           Guarantee. Each of the Seller Guarantors, severally and not jointly, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Buyer the full, complete and timely compliance with and performance of all agreements, covenants and obligations of Seller from time to time under this Agreement (the “Obligations”) (collectively, the “Guaranty”). No Seller Guarantor shall be liable pursuant to Section 4 for more than its applicable pro rata portion of the Cap, as applicable, in accordance with the percentages provided for in Schedule 5.11(A). The Obligations shall include Seller’s obligation to satisfy all payment obligations of Seller arising in connection with this Agreement, in each case, when and to the extent that, any of the same shall become due and payable or performance of or compliance with any of the same shall be required.  Seller Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Guaranty constitutes an absolute, present, primary, continuing and unconditional guaranty of performance, compliance and payment by Seller of the Obligations when due under this Agreement and not of collection only and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce such performance, compliance or payment by the Guaranteed Party upon any other condition or contingency.  Seller Guarantors hereby waive any right to require a proceeding first against Seller.  The obligations of Seller Guarantors under the Guaranty shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than by indefeasible payment or performance in full of any of the Obligations) and shall not be subject to (i) any discharge of Seller from any of the Obligations in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (except by indefeasible payment or performance in full of the Obligations) or (ii) any other circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute a legal discharge of Seller Guarantors as guarantor under this Section 5.11.  Each Seller Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that (a) such Seller Guarantor is a limited partnership, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Delaware, and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to fulfill the Guaranty pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Seller Guarantor, including, without limitation, fulfilling the Guaranty pursuant to this Agreement (i) has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action required on the part of such Seller Guarantor, (ii) has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Seller Guarantor, (iii) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller Guarantor enforceable against such Seller Guarantor in accordance with its terms, and (iv) the Net Asset Value of each Guarantor, as of March 31st 2011, are the amounts indicated opposite the name of each Seller Guarantor in Schedule 5.11(B).

 

  

  

  

 

5.11.1.      Each of the Seller Guarantors hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Seller Guarantors’ representative specified in Section 5.1 (the “Seller Guarantors’ Representative”) its lawful attorney-in-fact for the purposes of receiving any summons or notifications in the name and on behalf of each of the Seller Guarantors, including, without limitation, in connection with any procedure, arbitration or lawsuit filed against or involving any of the Seller Guarantors in connection with this Agreement. The Parties agree that any process or other paper to be served in connection with procedure, arbitration or lawsuit filed against or involving any of the Seller Guarantors in connection with this Agreement shall, if delivered, in accordance to Brazilian Laws, to the Seller Guarantors’ Representative, constitute good, proper and sufficient service thereof. The powers granted herein by the Seller Guarantors shall remain valid for and in full force and effect while this Agreement remains valid and may not be revoked, as it is granted as a condition of a bilateral transaction according to Article 684 of the Brazilian Civil Code.

5.12.           Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties will have no adequate remedy at law if such Party fails to perform its applicable obligations under this Agreement to deliver the Shares or make the Payment at the Closing.  The Parties agree that, in such event, (i) the other Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights either Party may have, to specific performance of such obligation, and (ii) it will not take any action to impede or interfere in the other Party’s efforts to enforce such right of specific performance.

5.13.           Language. This Agreement is being executed in the English language, and the Parties agree that a public sworn translation hereof shall be prepared by a Brazilian public sworn translator duly registered with the State of São Paulo Commercial Registry to be selected by the Parties.  If there is any discrepancy between such versions, the English version shall prevail.

6.                Governing Law and Arbitration

6.1.             Governing Law. This Agreement and the obligations and rights established herein shall be construed in accordance with and shall always be subject to the Laws of Brazil.

6.2.             Arbitration. All disputes, controversies and/or matter related to this Agreement which may arise among any of the Parties out of or in direct or indirect relation to or in direct or indirect connection with this Agreement or for the breach thereof including any question regarding its existence, validity, enforceability, breach or termination (“Dispute”), shall necessarily, finally and definitively, be resolved by arbitration to be instituted and held according to the Arbitration Rules of the Center of Arbitration and Mediation of the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce – Câmara de Comércio Brasil-Canadá (“CCBC”), effective as of the date on which the arbitration request is presented (“Rules”) and under the terms of Law No. 9.307, of September 23, 1996, being admitted any amendments to the Rules convened among the Parties.

 

  

  

  

 

6.2.1.          The arbitration proceeding shall be governed by Brazilian Law and shall be held in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil and shall be conducted in the Portuguese language. In case there is reasonable justification, the Arbitration Tribunal may authorize the performance of certain diligences in other places. The Arbitration Tribunal may authorize the production of documents in other languages as long as it is accompanied by a certified translation to Portuguese.

6.2.2.          The arbitration tribunal shall be composed of three (3) Brazilian arbitrators (“Arbitration Tribunal”). The claiming Party shall appoint one arbitrator and the defending Party shall appoint another arbitrator. In the event that there are more than one claiming Party, they shall jointly appoint only one arbitrator; in the event that there are more than one defending Party, they shall jointly appoint only one arbitrator. The arbitrators appointed by the Parties shall, jointly and by mutual agreement, choose the third arbitrator, who shall preside over the arbitration tribunal.

6.2.2.1.       In the event that the Parties fail to agree on the choice of the arbitrators, or in event that the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to agree on the choice of the third arbitrator, such appointment shall be made by the CCBC in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Any other disputes, doubts or controversies in direct or indirect connection with the appointment of arbitrators shall be settled by the CCBC in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

6.2.3.          The Arbitral Tribunal may, as soon as the file has been transmitted and at the request of a party, order any precautionary injunctions (medidas cautelares) or anticipatory injunctions (antecipações de tutela) it deems appropriate. Before the file is transmitted to the Arbitration Tribunal, the Parties may apply to the competent judicial authority for precautionary injunctions or anticipatory injunctions. The application to a judicial authority for such measures or for the implementation of any such measures ordered by the Arbitration Tribunal shall not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of the arbitration agreement and shall not affect the relevant powers reserved to the arbitral tribunal, including the powers to review the judicial order.

6.2.4.          The arbitral award shall be rendered within six (6) months; in case there is reasonable justification, the Arbitration Tribunal may prorogue such time limit.

6.2.5.          All Parties must abide to the arbitration proceedings and to all decisions rendered by the Arbitration Tribunal. The arbitral award as well as any decision granted by the Arbitration Tribunal or the Center of Arbitration shall be final and binding on all of them.

6.2.6.          The arbitral award rendered by the majority of the Arbitration Tribunal shall be definitive, shall bind the Parties, shall be enforceable in accordance with the Law and shall not be subject to judicial homologation or any remedy from the Judiciary Branch. However, the Parties are entitled to seek judicial assistance exclusively to: (a) referred to in item 6.2.3 above; (b) enforce any decision of the Arbitration Tribunal, including the final award, and (c) other proceedings expressly admitted by Law No. 9.307/96. For such purposes, as well as for matters that are not able to be subject to arbitration in accordance with Law n. No. 9.307/96, the Parties elect the courts of the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, to settle any such matters, with the exclusion of any other however privileged it may be.

 

  

  

  

 

6.2.7.          In the event that new Dispute arises during an arbitration, the arbitration related to the new Dispute shall be submitted to the same and incumbent Arbitration Tribunal.

6.2.8.         Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees and fees of the technical assistants it may appoint, regardless of the content of the final arbitration award. The fees and expenses with the arbitrators and with the experts appointed by the Arbitration Tribunal (panel), as well as the administrative expenses of the CCBC that may be incurred in the course of the arbitration proceeding shall be paid in accordance with the Rules and the final arbitration award shall provide for the obligation of the defeated Party to reimburse such fees and expenses paid by the other Party.

6.2.9.         All data exchanged among the Parties and the Arbitration Tribunal and any information in connection with any arbitration proceeding, including, without limitation, its existence, is confidential and subject to confidential treatment.

6.3.             Buyer’s Representative. Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Buyer’s representative specified in Section 5.1 (the “Buyer ́s Representative”) its lawful attorney-in-fact for the purposes of receiving any summons or notifications in the name and on behalf of the Buyer, including, without limitation, in connection with any procedure, arbitration or lawsuit filed against or involving the Buyer in connection with this Agreement. The Parties agree that any process or other paper to be served in connection with procedure, arbitration or lawsuit filed against or involving the Buyer in connection with this Agreement shall, if delivered, in accordance to Brazilian Laws, to the Buyer’s Representative, constitute good, proper and sufficient service thereof. The powers granted herein by the Buyer shall remain valid for and in full force and effect while this Agreement remains valid and may not be revoked, as it is granted as a condition of a bilateral transaction according to Article 684 of the Brazilian Civil Code.

2.             Sale of The Shares

2.1.             Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, and Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, the Shares, free and clear of Liens, and together with all rights attaching thereto, except with regard to the interest on capital (juros sobre capital próprio) declared by Company on June 20th, 2011, which shall be paid to Seller, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the minutes of the Board of Directors of Company of June 20th, 2011.

2.2.             Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.7 herein, the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder shall be held on a date and at a time to be mutually agreed by the Parties, but in no event more than 3 Business Days after the execution of this Agreement (such date, the “End Date”).  This Agreement may be terminated by (a) Buyer if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.7 to be incapable of being satisfied by the End Date and (b) Seller if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.7.1 to be incapable of being satisfied by the End Date.

The provisions of this Section 2.2 and Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.12, 6.1 and 6.2 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to this Section 2.2.

 

  

  

  

 

2.2.1.             Upon the execution of this Agreement the Closing shall occur on the time and date set forth in Section 2.2 above (the “Closing Date”) and, except as set forth in Sections 2.7 and 2.7.1, is not subject to any conditions whatsoever.

2.3.             Payment. At the Closing, in consideration for the acquisition of the Shares, Buyer shall pay to Seller, in United States Dollars at Seller’s designated bank in the U.S., the amount equivalent to R$ 25,597, per Share, converted by the average closing of business exchange rate, as verified between June 24th, 2011, and the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, of the buy rates for United States Dollars on the foreign exchange market as published by the Central Bank of Brazil through its Information system (SISBACEN), by means of Transaction PTAX-800, Option 5, in cash by wire transfers of immediately available funds to Seller’s bank account to be informed to Buyer 1 Business Day prior to Closing (“Payment”).  The price per share payable by Buyer, and the number of Shares deliverable to Buyer, shall be adjusted prior to the Closing to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities of a subsidiary of the Company or of securities convertible into shares of the Company), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the shares of the Company with a record date occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

2.3.1.             The total amount of the Payment shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any Tax or bank fees and commissions. In the event the applicable rate for the remittance of the Payment to Seller’s bank account of the Imposto sobre Operações de Crédito, Câmbio e Seguros ou relativas a Títulos e Valores Mobiliários – IOF is, at the Closing Date, different from 0,38%, the total amount of the Payment shall be adjusted accordingly in order to assure that the amount received by Seller, after the withholding of the IOF and further withholding or deduction for any Tax or bank fees and commissions, is equivalent to R$ 25,50, per Share, converted to United States Dollars as provided for in Section 2.3 above, provided that Seller shall be solely responsible for collection and/or withholding of any Taxes arising out of the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement that, by Law, is of Seller’s responsibility.  Seller shall fully indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from any and all costs, expenses, fees, losses or damages Buyer and its Affiliates may incur deriving from or relating to any Tax assessment, disputes or obligations imposed on or against them in connection with the Tax collection and/or withholding obligation that, by Law, is of Seller’s responsibility.

2.4.             Transfer. At the Closing, upon the confirmation of receipt of the Payment from Buyer in United States Dollars by Seller’s designated bank in the U.S., Seller shall immediately transfer the Shares to Buyer, by executing a shares transfer order (OTA – Ordem de Transferência de Ações), a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 2.4, and such other instruments, documents or certificates as shall enable Buyer to perfect such transfer and effect such registration with the Company’s depository agent.

 

  

  

  

 

2.5.             Reasonable Efforts.

4.                Indemnification

4.1.             Indemnification. Each Party shall indemnify (“Indemnifying Party”) and defend (in the case of Third Party Claims) the other Party, their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, agents, and representatives (“Indemnified Party”), and hold the foregoing harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by the Indemnifying Party under Section 3 above for which notice is given by Indemnified Party; or (b) any nonperformance by the Indemnifying Party of any obligations to be performed by or on the part of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

4.2.             Indemnification Procedure. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any event that might entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification, as a result of a Loss under this Agreement (“Claim”). Such notification shall be made within 5 Business Days of the date a Claim comes to the attention of the Indemnified Party as the Indemnified Party may deem expected to cause a Loss, provided that, in case said Loss is based on a legal action or proceeding brought by a third-party (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify in writing the Indemnifying Party no later than the date that is the end of the first one third (1/3) of the legal timeframe to file defenses or counterclaims against the Third Party Claim in question (“Defense”). The failure to provide such notice for indemnification within the aforementioned periods shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations it may have under this Section 4 with respect to such Loss, except and only to the extent that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of material rights or defenses that it would otherwise have.

 

  

  

  

 

4.2.1.             The Indemnifying Party may conduct the Defense in any Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice, if it so elects by sending a written notification to that effect to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the notification described in Section 4.2 above; provided, that such notification must include an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Defense conducted by the Indemnifying Party shall be made in cooperation with the Indemnified Party, which shall be informed reasonably in advance of any major step of proceedings and which may appoint (at its own cost) any legal advisor in addition to the one(s) appointed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the conduction of the Defense (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost), providing access to all information and documentation reasonably required and necessary for the preparation and conduction thereof. The Indemnified Party may only settle the Third Party Claims without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party refuses to conduct the Defense of such a Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may only settle the Third Party Claims if the Indemnifying Party accepts and undertakes the conduct of the Defense of such Third Party Claim and (i) the Indemnified Party consents in writing to such settlement or (ii) such settlement includes a full release of the Indemnified Party, no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and no restriction or obligation of any type on the Indemnified Party.

4.3.             Payment or Reimbursement. In the event that a Claim have been finally ascertained, the amount of such Loss set forth in such final decision shall be paid to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with a copy of such final decision. A Claim, and the liability for the Loss therefore, shall be deemed to be finally determined for purposes of this Section (a) with respect to matters other than Third Party Claims, when the Parties have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when final decision from the Arbitration Tribunal in respect thereof has been rendered; and (b) with respect to Third Party Claims, when a final non-appealable order shall have been granted (decisão transitada em julgado).

 

4.4.             Cap. In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for indemnification under this Agreement in respect of Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of the Purchase Price, including for Losses for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a) - (f) or resulting from fraud (fraude) or willful misconduct (dolo). Further, in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for indemnification under this Agreement in respect of Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of 15% the Purchase Price for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(g) - (l).  Such 15% shall be considered a cap only for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(g) - (l) by Seller.

 

4.5.             Remedies. Except for fraud (fraude) or willful misconduct (dolo), the indemnification and termination provisions contained in this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party and the Indemnified Parties (i) for any breach, inaccuracy or omission of any Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings contained in this Agreement or (ii) otherwise with respect to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall have the right to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.

5.2.             Arm’s Length Transaction. The Parties agree that (i) this is an arm’s length commercial transaction, (ii) the Parties have full and independent judgment of the commercial benefit and risk involved and, except as set forth herein, have not relied on any representation made by one Party to the other in entering into this Agreement, (iii) no Party shall by virtue of this Agreement be deemed to be the representative of the other Parties for any purpose whatsoever, and (iv) no Party shall have the power or authority as agent or in any other capacity to represent, act for, bind, or otherwise create or assume any obligation on behalf of any other Party for any purpose whatsoever.

5.3.             Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including investment advisory and legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.4.             Late Payments. If any payment that is required to be made under this Agreement is not made when due, the amount due shall bear (i) a one-time penalty fee of 10% (ten percent), in addition to (ii) late payment compounded interest at a rate of 3% per month, unless another specific rate of interest is specified herein with respect to obligation to make such payment, without prejudice to Seller’s right in terminating this Agreement or seeking specific performance of Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement.

5.5.             Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including its Schedules) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter, whether written or oral.

5.6.             Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement and the rights hereunder are not assignable unless such assignment is consented to in writing by each of Buyer and Seller, provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates without the consent of Seller. This Agreement and all the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

  

  

  

 

5.7.              Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written mutual agreement executed and delivered by Buyer and Seller.

5.8.              Waiver. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable the Law, (a) no Claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver of the Claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

Except with respect to an Indemnified Party that is not a Party to this Agreement, and in that case only in connection with the rights set forth in Section 4 (Indemnification) hereof,  nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person or entity that is not a Party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party.

5.10.             Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are, to the greatest extent possible, consummated as originally contemplated hereby.

5.11.             Specific Performance.

6.           Governing Law and Arbitration

6.1.             Governing Law. This Agreement and the obligations and rights established herein shall be construed in accordance with and shall always be subject to the Laws of Brazil.

6.2.             Arbitration. All disputes, controversies and/or matter related to this Agreement which may arise among any of the Parties out of or in direct or indirect relation to or in direct or indirect connection with this Agreement or for the breach thereof including any question regarding its existence, validity, enforceability, breach or termination (“Dispute”), shall necessarily, finally and definitively, be resolved by arbitration to be instituted and held according to the Arbitration Rules of the Center of Arbitration and Mediation of the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce – Câmara de Comércio Brasil-Canadá (“CCBC”), effective as of the date on which the arbitration request is presented (“Rules”) and under the terms of Law No. 9.307, of September 23, 1996, being admitted any amendments to the Rules convened among the Parties.

6.2.1.             The arbitration proceeding shall be governed by Brazilian Law and shall be held in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil and shall be conducted in the Portuguese language. In case there is reasonable justification, the Arbitration Tribunal may authorize the performance of certain diligences in other places. The Arbitration Tribunal may authorize the production of documents in other languages as long as it is accompanied by a certified translation to Portuguese.

6.2.2.             The arbitration tribunal shall be composed of three (3) Brazilian arbitrators (“Arbitration Tribunal”). The claiming Party shall appoint one arbitrator and the defending Party shall appoint another arbitrator. In the event that there are more than one claiming Party, they shall jointly appoint only one arbitrator; in the event that there are more than one defending Party, they shall jointly appoint only one arbitrator. The arbitrators appointed by the Parties shall, jointly and by mutual agreement, choose the third arbitrator, who shall preside over the arbitration tribunal.

6.2.2.1.           In the event that the Parties fail to agree on the choice of the arbitrators, or in event that the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to agree on the choice of the third arbitrator, such appointment shall be made by the CCBC in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Any other disputes, doubts or controversies in direct or indirect connection with the appointment of arbitrators shall be settled by the CCBC in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.

6.2.3.             The Arbitral Tribunal may, as soon as the file has been transmitted and at the request of a party, order any precautionary injunctions (medidas cautelares) or anticipatory injunctions (antecipações de tutela) it deems appropriate. Before the file is transmitted to the Arbitration Tribunal, the Parties may apply to the competent judicial authority for precautionary injunctions or anticipatory injunctions. The application to a judicial authority for such measures or for the implementation of any such measures ordered by the Arbitration Tribunal shall not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of the arbitration agreement and shall not affect the relevant powers reserved to the arbitral tribunal, including the powers to review the judicial order.

6.2.4.             The arbitral award shall be rendered within six (6) months; in case there is reasonable justification, the Arbitration Tribunal may prorogue such time limit.

 

  

  

  

 

6.2.5.             All Parties must abide to the arbitration proceedings and to all decisions rendered by the Arbitration Tribunal. The arbitral award as well as any decision granted by the Arbitration Tribunal or the Center of Arbitration shall be final and binding on all of them.

6.2.6.             The arbitral award rendered by the majority of the Arbitration Tribunal shall be definitive, shall bind the Parties, shall be enforceable in accordance with the Law and shall not be subject to judicial homologation or any remedy from the Judiciary Branch. However, the Parties are entitled to seek judicial assistance exclusively to: (a) referred to in item 6.2.3 above; (b) enforce any decision of the Arbitration Tribunal, including the final award, and (c) other proceedings expressly admitted by Law No. 9.307/96. For such purposes, as well as for matters that are not able to be subject to arbitration in accordance with Law n. No. 9.307/96, the Parties elect the courts of the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, to settle any such matters, with the exclusion of any other however privileged it may be.

6.2.7.             In the event that new Dispute arises during an arbitration, the arbitration related to the new Dispute shall be submitted to the same and incumbent Arbitration Tribunal.

6.2.8.              Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees and fees of the technical assistants it may appoint, regardless of the content of the final arbitration award. The fees and expenses with the arbitrators and with the experts appointed by the Arbitration Tribunal (panel), as well as the administrative expenses of the CCBC that may be incurred in the course of the arbitration proceeding shall be paid in accordance with the Rules and the final arbitration award shall provide for the obligation of the defeated Party to reimburse such fees and expenses paid by the other Party.

6.2.9.             All data exchanged among the Parties and the Arbitration Tribunal and any information in connection with any arbitration proceeding, including, without limitation, its existence, is confidential and subject to confidential treatment.

6.3.             Buyer’s Representative. Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Buyer’s representative specified in Section 5.1 (the “Buyer’s Representative”) its lawful attorney-in-fact for the purposes of receiving any summons or notifications in the name and on behalf of the Buyer, including, without limitation, in connection with any procedure, arbitration or lawsuit filed against or involving the Buyer in connection with this Agreement.
