1.13. The Parties agree to alter Section 4.4 of the Agreement, which shall hereafter read as follows:

4.4. Consent of Class B Shareholders. Warrant. AZUL Holding and Neeleman shall endeavor their best efforts to cause all of the Original Shareholders holding AZUL Holding’s Class B Preferred Shares (“Class B Shareholders”) attached hereto as Exhibit A, to vote for the Merger of Shares, as well as agree with the commitment to transfer, proportionally to the shareholding of each Class B Shareholders in AZUL Holding, to TRIP’s Shareholders, as many AZUL Holding’s Class B Preferred Shares as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of Sections 6 and 8 below. AZUL Holding and Neeleman shall work together with the Class B Shareholders in order to determine whether all Class B Preferred Shareholders may consent in writing to the provisions of Sections 6 and 8 of this Agreement, declaring in such document that (i) they will not transfer certain percentage of their AZUL Holding’s Class B Preferred Shares up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date (in order to comply with the adjustment obligations set forth in Sections 6 and 8 of this Agreement), and such percentage shall be defined in good faith by all Parties after the conclusion of the Due Diligences Exercises (“No Transfer Obligation”) and (ii) prepare the annotations of the No Transfer Obligation on AZUL Holding’s Share Registry Book (the “Consentof Class B Shareholders”). If all conditions precedent provided for in Section 5.1 have been satisfied and AZUL Holding and Neeleman have not obtained the consents of the Class B Shareholders, Neeleman and AZUL Holding agree to call an AZUL Holding’s AGE for the approval of the issuance of two (2) subscription warrants (bônus de subscrição) by AZUL Holding (the “Subscription Warrant AGE – TRIP’s Shareholders”), for a subscription price of R$[*****] Brazilian Reais) each.

1.16. The Parties agree to amend Section VI of the Agreement, which shall hereafter read as follows:

SECTION VI

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE INITIAL EXCHANGE RATIO

6.1. Adjustment in the Exchange Ratio Immediately Prior to the IPO. The Parties agree that the premise of the Transaction is the Merger of Shares, with TRIP’s Shareholders receiving, for TRIP’s Shares, AZUL Holding’s New Shares. After the Date of Merger, AZUL Holding’s New Shares shall represent 30.7% (thirty point seven percent) of the total shares issued by AZUL Holding, being 1,231,343 (one million, two hundred and thirty-one thousand, three hundred and forty-three) common shares, representing 33% (thirty-three percent) of all common shares issued up to the Merger of Shares, and 553,627 (five hundred and fifty three thousand, six hundred and twenty-seven) Class B preferred shares, representing 28.2% (twenty eight point two per cent) of all Class B preferred shares then issued. Under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, TRIP’s Shareholders equity participation in AZUL Holding may be increased, immediately before the capitalization of the primary portion of the Initial Public Offering of AZUL Holding’s Shares – the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), for a maximum limit of 200.571 (two hundred thousand and five hundred and seventy one) Class B preferred shares, so that TRIP’s Shareholders may

hold up to 754.198 (seven hundred fifty four thousand and one hundred and ninety eight) Class B preferred shares, representing 34.9% (thirty-four point nine per cent) of all Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding (considering the shareholders structure on the Date of Merger), depending on the pre-money valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of its IPO (the “Pre-Money Valuation”), according to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and 6.1.3. The Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding shall be calculated based on (i) the price per share specified in the announcement of the beginning of the IPO and (ii) the total number of shares (common and preferred) issued by AZUL Holding immediately before the date of Completion of the IPO (taking into account the difference of the economic value between the different classes of shares), binding the Parties and constituting an instrument sufficient to cause the Parties to comply with and perform their obligations under this Section 6.1. For clarity purposes, the economic value of the common shares issued by AZUL Holding is different from the economic value of its preferred shares. Based on the above, and notwithstanding the effective participation of each Party in AZUL Holding’s capital stock, the Parties agree that, on the Date of Merger, AZUL Holding’s New Shares shall represent 27% (twenty-seven percent) of AZUL Holding’s economic value, provided that such participation may be potentially increased up to 33% (thirty-three percent) of AZUL Holding’s economic value, depending on the Pre-Money Valuation on the date of the IPO, as described in Exhibit 6.1(A) hereto. Exhibit 6.1(B) contains details on the mechanism of Adjustments to the Initial Exchange Ratio, showing the number of Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding to be transferred to TRIP’s Shareholders, pursuant to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and 6.1.3, taking into account the possible scenarios of the Pre-Money Valuation on the date of the IPO.

6.1.1 Should the Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of the IPO be equivalent in Brazilian Reais, according to the Conversion Rate, to [*****] or more, TRIP’s Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive any other additional shares issued by AZUL Holding, subject to eventual adjustments of equity participation arising from the obligations set forth in Section 8.

6.1.2 Should the Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of the IPO be equivalent in Brazilian Reais, according to the Conversion Rate, to [*****] or less, TRIP’s Shareholders will have the right to exercise the Subscription Warrants – Pre-Money Valuation Adjustment, within 4 (four) days after the publication of the Pre-Money Valuation announcement, in order to receive from AZUL Holding as many Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding as necessary to guarantee to TRIP’s Shareholders the ownership of 34.9% (thirty-four point nine percent) of the Class B preferred shares, subject to eventual adjustments of equity participation arising from the obligations set forth in Section 8.

6.1.3 Should the Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of the IPO vary, according to the Conversion Rate, between [*****] the number of Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding that TRIP’s Shareholders shall receive from AZUL Holding, as a result of the exercise of the Subscription Warrants – Pre-Money Valuation Adjustment, within 4 (four) days after the publication of the Pre-Money Valuation announcement, shall be defined in a way that the total equity interest of TRIP’s Shareholders will vary linearly between 28.2% (twenty-eight point two per cent) and 34.9% (thirty-four point nine percent) of all Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding, subject to eventual adjustments of equity participation arising from the obligations set forth in Section 8. Exhibit 6.1(B) specifies and provides details on the form by which the agreement described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be enforced.

6.2. No IPO. Notwithstanding the provision of Section 6.1 above, should the IPO of AZUL Holding not happen within 24 (twenty-four) months from the conclusion of the Due Diligence Exercises (“Deadline”), TRIP’s Shareholders shall have the right to exercise, within 4 (four) days as of the Deadline, the Subscription Warrant – Pre-Money Valuation Adjustment, in order to receive as many Class B preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding as necessary to ensure to TRIP’s Shareholders the ownership of 34.9% (thirty-four point nine percent) of all Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding.

6.3. Dilution Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in case TRIP’s Shareholders or the Original Shareholders do not follow, in whole or in part, any capital increase transaction of AZUL Holding between the Date of Merger and the Completion of the IPO or the Deadline, whichever occurs first, the number of Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding that TRIP’s Shareholders shall potentially receive from the Class B Preferred Shareholders, pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, shall be redefined in accordance with the effective variation of the equity participation of TRIP’s Shareholders or the Original Shareholders, as the case may be, keeping the adjustment mechanics in the Initial Exchange Ratio set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, subject to any additional variation in the equity participation of TRIP’s Shareholders as a result of the provisions of Section 8 below.

 

1.17. The Parties agree to amend Section 8.1.1. of the Agreement, which shall hereafter read as follows:

8.1.1. Indemnification Methodologies of TRIP’s Shareholders up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date. The Parties agree that the obligations to indemnify of TRIP’s Shareholders, as provided for in Section 8.1 above, shall follow different mechanisms of payment and/or compensation, which will vary depending on the occurrence of the IPO (the “Completion of the IPO”) or the Deadline, whichever occurs first (the “Adjustment—Indemnifications Date”).

(a) Indemnifications up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date. Between the Date of Execution and the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date, any obligation to indemnify of TRIP’s Shareholders, pursuant to Section 8.1, shall be temporarily suspended and may not be required by any AZUL Holding’s Indemnifiable Party, except as set forth below:

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.5, up to the Adjustment —Indemnifications Date, the Parties shall determine in good faith the total amount of Losses indemnifiable by TRIP’s Shareholders, as provided in Section 8.1 and updated by the CDI, which effectively generated a cash outflow on the part of the AZUL Holding’s Indemnifiable Parties within the period between the Date of Execution and the Adjustment —Indemnifications Date (the “Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding”). Conversely, the Parties shall in good faith determine the total amount of losses indemnifiable by AZUL Holding, as provided in Section 8.2 below and updated by the CDI, which effectively generated a cash outflow on the part of TRIP’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties within the period between the Date of Execution and the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date (the “Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders”). The sum of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding and Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders are referred to as the “Total Loss of Parties up to the Date of Adjustment – Indemnification”. In the event that the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date are positive in favor of AZUL Holding’s Indemnifiable Parties (that is, the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding overcome the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders), then the Original Shareholders shall have the right to exercise, within 4 (four) days after the announcement of the Total Loss of Parties up to the Date of Adjustment – Indemnification, the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding– Original Shareholders in order to receive, on a prorated basis and proportionally to their stake in the share capital of AZUL Holding, the number of Class B preferred shares as per the formula set forth below:

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

 

ARP = (PPIAH – PPIAT) / VPAPI

a. ARP: Total number of Class B preferred shares to be issued, within 4 (four) days after the Deadline, by AZUL Holding as a result of the exercise of the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding– Original Shareholders.

(b) Alternative Obligation; Cash Payment. Should TRIP’s Shareholders have the obligation to indemnify the Original Shareholders, as provided for in Section 8.1.1(a), TRIP’s Shareholders may elect to pay in cash to the Original Shareholders the balance between (i) the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders; and (ii) the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding. TRIP’s Shareholders shall notify AZUL Holding and the Original Shareholders, within 1 (one) day after the determination of the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications indicating whether they intend to pay indemnities in cash. Should TRIP’s Shareholders elect to pay indemnities in cash, subject to the provisions of this Section, it shall pay the indemnities within 1 (one) day after the issuance of the notification set forth in the preceding sentence, it being understood that, upon confirmation of payment, the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders shall lose its validity and effectiveness.

(c) Indemnifications After the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date. After the Adjustment —Indemnifications Date, the obligations to indemnify of TRIP’s Shareholders as provided for in Section 8.1, shall be indemnified exclusively in cash, pursuant to Section 8.3 et seq., it being agreed to by and between the Parties, for the avoidance of doubt, that the indemnification procedures set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6 shall apply to Parties only after the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date.

 

1.18. The Parties agree to amend Section 8.2.1. of the Agreement, which shall hereafter read as follows:

“8.2.1. Indemnification Methodologies of AZUL Holding up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date. In a consistent and symmetrical manner as per Section 8.1.1 above, the obligations to indemnify of AZUL Holding, as set forth in Section 8.2 above, shall follow different mechanisms of payment and/or compensation, which will vary depending on the occurrence of the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date.

(a) Indemnifications up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date. Between the Date of Execution and the Adjustment —Indemnifications Date, any obligation to indemnify of AZUL Holding, pursuant to Section 8.1, shall be temporarily suspended and may not be required by any of TRIP’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties, except as set forth below:

(i) Pursuant to Sections 8.2.1(b) and 8.5, up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date, the Parties shall determine in good faith the total amount of Losses with Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders. Conversely, the Parties shall in good faith determine the total amount of Losses with Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding. In the event that the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date are positive in favor of TRIP’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties (that is, the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders overcome the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding), then TRIP’s Shareholders shall have the right to exercise, within 4 (four) days after the announcement of the Total Loss of Parties up to the Date of Adjustment – Indemnification, the TRIP’s Shareholders Subscription Warrants – Indemnifications Adjustment, in order to receive, on a prorated basis and proportionally to their stake in the share capital of AZUL Holding, the number of Class B preferred shares as per the formula set forth below:

ARP = (PPIAT – PPIAH) / VPAPI

a. ARP: Total number of Class B preferred shares to be issued, within 4 (four) days after the Deadline, by AZUL Holding as a result of the exercise of TRIP’s Shareholders Subscription Warrants – Indemnifications Adjustment.

b. PPIAH: Total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding as of the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date updated by the CDI;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

 

c. PPIAT: Total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders as of the Adjustment — Indemnifications Date updated by the CDI, subject to the provisions of Section 8.1.1(b); and

d. VPAPI: Individual amount of each preferred share as of the definition of the Pre-Money Valuation or, if the Pre-Money Valuation does not occur, the reference amount of the economic value shall be [*****], being understood that the preferred shares to be issued as a result of the exercise of the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – TRIP’s Shareholders shall be considered for the definition of the individual amount of each preferred share.

(b) Proportional Losses of TRIP’s Shareholders. The Parties agree that a Loss suffered by AZUL Holding and/or its Controlled Entities (except for TRIP) shall result in a Loss suffered by TRIP’s Shareholders. In this case, and exclusively if the Loss is paid in cash by AZUL Holding, the indemnity amount payable to TRIP’s Shareholders will be equivalent, in the event the Loss is suffered or incurred by AZUL Holding and/or its Controlled Entities (except for TRIP), to the result of the following formula:

I = (PAH * PAT) / (1 – PAT)

a. I: Total indemnity amount due to TRIP’s Shareholders;

b. PAH: Total loss incurred or suffered by AZUL Holding; and

c. PAT: TRIP’s Shareholders’ Equity Participation based on the economic value of AZUL Holding, to be calculated as per the formula below:

PAT = ((NON) + (NAPNB * 24.1)) / ((TAON) + (TAPN * 24.1))

a. NON: Total number of AZUL Holding’s New Common Shares;

b. NAPNB: Total Number of AZUL Holding’s New Class B Preferred Shares;

c. TAON: Total number of AZUL Holding’s Common Shares; and

d. TAPN: Total number of AZUL Holding’s Preferred Shares.

For clarity purposes, the 24.1 factor used in the calculation of the PAT, according to the formula above, reflects the difference of the economic value between the different classes of shares, pursuant to AZUL Holding’s Bylaws, in effect on the Date of Execution. Therefore, the Parties undertake, in good faith, to adjust such factor, by approving changes to AZUL Holding’s Bylaws that modify the economic value attributed to each class of shares, in order to maintain the economic rationale used in the definition of the PAT.

(c) Alternative Obligation; Cash Payment. Should AZUL Holding have the obligation to indemnify TRIP’s Shareholders, as provided for in Section 8.2.1(a), AZUL Holding may elect to pay in cash to TRIP’s Shareholders the balance between (i) the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding; and (ii) the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP. AZUL Holding shall notify TRIP Shareholders, within 1 (one) day after the determination of the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications indicating whether they intend to pay indemnities in cash. Should AZUL Holding elects to pay indemnities in cash, subject to the provisions of this Section, it shall pay the indemnities within 1 (one) day after the issuance of the notification set forth in the preceding sentence, it being understood that, upon confirmation of payment, the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders shall lose its validity and effectiveness. If such payment is not made within the period specified above, the TRIP Shareholders shall be free to exercise the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders.

(d) Indemnifications After the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date. After the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date, the obligations to indemnify of AZUL Holding as provided in Section 8.2, shall be indemnified exclusively in cash, pursuant to Section 8.3 and following, being agreed by and between the Parties, for the avoidance of doubt, that the indemnification procedures set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6 shall apply to Parties only after the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date.”

Public Offering (“IPO”), for a maximum limit of 200.571 (two hundred thousand and five hundred and seventy one) Class B preferred shares, so that TRIP’s Shareholders may hold up to 754.198 (seven hundred fifty four thousand and one hundred and ninety eight) Class B preferred shares, representing 34.9% (thirty-four point nine per cent) of all Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding (considering the shareholders structure on the Date of Merger), depending on the pre-money valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of its IPO (the “Pre-Money Valuation”), according to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and 6.1.3. The Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding shall be calculated based on (i) the price per share specified in the announcement of the beginning of the IPO and (ii) the total number of shares (common and preferred) issued by AZUL Holding immediately before the date of Completion of the IPO (taking into account the difference of the economic value between the different classes of shares), binding the Parties and constituting an instrument sufficient to cause the Parties to comply with and perform their obligations under this Section 6.1.

6.1.1 Should the Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of the IPO be equivalent in Brazilian Reais, according to the Conversion Rate, to US$ [*****] United States Dollars) [*****] or more, TRIP’s Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive any other additional shares issued by AZUL Holding, subject to eventual adjustments of equity participation arising from the obligations set forth in Section 8.

6.1.2 Should the Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of the IPO be equivalent in Brazilian Reais, according to the Conversion Rate, to US$ [*****] United States Dollars) [*****] or less, TRIP’s Shareholders will have the right to exercise the Subscription Warrants – Pre-Money Valuation Adjustment, within 4 (four) days after the publication of the Pre-Money Valuation announcement, in order to receive from AZUL Holding as many Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding as necessary to guarantee to TRIP’s Shareholders the ownership of 34.9% (thirty-four point nine percent) of the Class B preferred shares, subject to eventual adjustments of equity participation arising from the obligations set forth in Section 8.

6.1.3 Should the Pre-Money Valuation of AZUL Holding at the time of pricing of the IPO vary, according to the Conversion Rate, between US$ [*****] United States Dollars) [*****] and US$ [*****] United States Dollars) [*****], the number of Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding that TRIP’s Shareholders shall receive from AZUL Holding, as a result of the exercise of the Subscription Warrants – Pre-Money Valuation Adjustment, within 4 (four) days after the publication of the Pre-Money Valuation announcement, shall be defined in a way that the total equity interest of TRIP’s Shareholders will vary linearly between 28.2% (twenty-eight point two per cent) and 34.9% (thirty-four point nine percent) of all Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding, subject to eventual adjustments of equity participation arising from the obligations set forth in Section 8. Exhibit6.1(B) specifies and provides details on the form by which the agreement described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be enforced.

VPAPI: Individual amount of each preferred share as of the definition of the Pre-Money Valuation or, if the Pre-Money Valuation does not occur, the reference amount of the economic value shall be [*****], being understood that the preferred shares to be issued as a result of the exercise of the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – TRIP’s Shareholders shall be considered for the definition of the individual amount of each preferred share.

(b) Proportional Losses of TRIP’s Shareholders. The Parties agree that a Loss suffered by AZUL Holding and/or its Controlled Entities (except for TRIP) shall result in a Loss suffered by TRIP’s Shareholders. In this case, and exclusively if the Loss is paid in cash by AZUL Holding, the indemnity amount payable to TRIP’s Shareholders will be equivalent, in the event the Loss is suffered or incurred by AZUL Holding and/or its Controlled Entities (except for TRIP), to the result of the following formula:

I = (PAH * PAT) / (1 – PAT)

 

d. I: Total indemnity amount due to TRIP’s Shareholders;

 

e. PAH: Total loss incurred or suffered by AZUL Holding; and

 

f. PAT: TRIP’s Shareholders’ Equity Participation based on the economic value of AZUL Holding, to be calculated as per the formula below:

PAT = ((NON) + (NAPNB * 24.1)) / ((TAON) + (TAPN * 24.1))

 

e. NON: Total number of AZUL Holding’s New Common Shares;

 

f. NAPNB: Total Number of AZUL Holding’s New Class B Preferred Shares;

 

g. TAON: Total number of AZUL Holding’s Common Shares; and

 

h. TAPN: Total number of AZUL Holding’s Preferred Shares.

For clarity purposes, the 24.1 factor used in the calculation of the PAT, according to the formula above, reflects the difference of the economic value between the different classes of shares, pursuant to AZUL Holding’s Bylaws, in effect on the Date of Execution. Therefore, the Parties undertake, in good faith, to adjust such factor, by approving changes to AZUL Holding’s Bylaws that modify the economic value attributed to each class of shares, in order to maintain the economic rationale used in the definition of the PAT.

(c) Alternative Obligation; Cash Payment. Should AZUL Holding have the obligation to indemnify TRIP’s Shareholders, as provided for in Section 8.2.1(a), AZUL Holding may elect to pay in cash to TRIP’s Shareholders the balance between (i) the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding; and (ii) the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP. AZUL Holding shall notify TRIP Shareholders, within 1 (one) day after the determination of the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment—Indemnifications indicating whether they intend to pay indemnities in cash. Should AZUL Holding elects to pay indemnities in cash, subject to the provisions of this Section, it shall pay the indemnities within 1 (one) day after the issuance of the notification set forth in the preceding sentence, it being understood that, upon confirmation of payment, the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders shall lose its validity and effectiveness. If such payment is not made within the period specified above, the TRIP Shareholders shall be free to exercise the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders.

(d) Indemnifications After the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date. After the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date, the obligations to indemnify of AZUL Holding as provided in Section 8.2, shall be indemnified exclusively in cash, pursuant to Section 8.3 and following, being agreed by and between the Parties, for the avoidance of doubt, that the indemnification procedures set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6 shall apply to Parties only after the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date.

8.2.2 Limitation to Indemnification of AZUL Holding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.2.1 above, the obligation to indemnify of AZUL Holding for Losses set forth in Section 8.2 above shall remain valid until the [*****] anniversary of this date, extendable for the term of the procedural progress of the Dispute in the event that such Dispute has been initiated within the referred period. For clarity purposes, in the event that a possible Loss, including as a result of Dispute, is either claimed or notified within the period set forth in this Section 8.2.2, AZUL Holding shall remain obligated to indemnify TRIP’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties as provided for in Section 8.2 if such Loss is disbursed by the relevant AZUL Holding’s Indemnifiable Party, even if such disbursement occurs after the expiration of the term referred to herein.

8.3. Indemnification Amount; Survival of Obligation to Indemnify. After the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date, any other indemnification due under this Section VIII shall be paid in cash, net and free of any taxes, so that the Indemnifiable Party is restored to the financial situation immediately prior to the respective Loss.

8.3.1. After the Date of Adjustment – Indemnities, within 90 (ninety) days from the end of each fiscal year, the Parties shall define, in good faith, based on information contained in the Excerpt to be furnished by AZUL Holding as set forth in Section 8.4 below, (i) the total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders identified in the previous fiscal year, and (ii) the total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding’s Shareholders identified in the previous fiscal year.

8.3.2. Once the provisions set forth in Section 8.3.1 above have been complied with,

(i) subject to the minimum amount of the Basket (as set forth in Section 8.5 below), should it be verified that the total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders is higher than the total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding’s Shareholders in the fiscal year in question, AZUL Holding shall then make a payment corresponding to the difference between such losses in favor of TRIP’s Shareholders, subject to the provision of Section 8.2.1, within [*****] from the end of the fiscal year in question, and

(ii) subject to the minimum amount of the Basket (as set forth in Section 8.5 below), should it be verified that the total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders is lower than the total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding’s Shareholders in the fiscal year in question, TRIP’s Shareholders shall then make a payment, severally and in a proportional manner, corresponding to the difference between such losses in favor of AZUL Holding’s Indemnified Party or Parties, subject to Section 8.1.1, within [*****] from the end of the fiscal year in question.

8.4 In order to control, monitor and determine the amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders and the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding’s Shareholders occurring throughout the validity term of this Section VIII, AZUL Holding undertakes to, from the Date of Merger, maintain a special memorandum account in the name of TRIP’s Shareholders and AZUL Holding’s Indemnified Parties (the “Memorandum Account”).

8.4.1 AZUL Holding undertakes to cause TRIP’s Shareholders to receive an excerpt of the Memorandum Account (the “Excerpt”) (i) on the Date of Adjustment – Indemnities, (ii) within 30 (thirty) days from the end of each Fiscal Year, and (iii) within 30 (thirty) days from any date on which any of TRIP’s Shareholders requests that an Excerpt be prepared.

8.4.2. The Excerpt shall contain the registration, updated through its date of issuance (or through any other date specified therein), (i) of all Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders, (ii) of all Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding’s Shareholder, (iii) of all amounts already indemnified by TRIP’s Shareholders to AZUL Holding’s Indemnified Parties, (iv) of all amounts already indemnified by AZUL Holding to TRIP’s Shareholders, and (v) the outstanding balance due to AZUL Holding or TRIP’s Shareholders, as the case may be.

8.4.3. AZUL Holding acknowledges that TRIP’s Shareholders, by virtue of not necessarily directly participating in the management of AZUL Holding and TRIP, may not be aware of, by themselves, the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL’s Shareholders and the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders and, therefore, (i) AZUL Holding agrees to be liable for the correct maintenance of the Memorandum Account and for all information provided in any Excerpt, (ii) AZUL Holding undertakes to provide all information necessary to prove to TRIP’s Shareholders the occurrence of all Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL’s Shareholders and the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders, (iii) TRIP’s Shareholders may, whenever deemed necessary, audit the Memorandum Account (by themselves or through an auditing firm retained for such a purpose), in which case AZUL Holding undertakes to cooperate with such audit by providing all explanations necessary and all documents that may be reasonably requested for the carrying out of such audit, and (iv) the indemnity procedures set forth in Sections 8.6 and 8.7 below shall only apply to TRIP’s Shareholders in case they are directly (that is, under their own names) involved in any Third Party Claim or Direct Claim.

8.5. Floor; Basket. TRIP’s Shareholders and/or AZUL Holding’s Shareholders (as applicable) will not be required to indemnify or reimburse the other Party in relation to any isolated Loss that results in indemnity under [*****]. In other words, Losses below such amount shall not be included in the Memorandum Account. Likewise, TRIP’s Shareholders and/or AZUL Holding’s Shareholders (as applicable) will not be required to pay to the other Party any indemnity amount until the moment when the total amount of indemnity payable by the Indemnifying Party reaches a value equal to or greater than [*****] (the “Basket”). Once the Basket value is reached, as calculated in accordance with Sections 8.3.2(i) and (ii), the entire value of the Basket shall be indemnified and not just whatever is in excess. On the other hand, if the total value of the Basket is not reached, as calculated in accordance with Sections 8.3.2(i) and (ii), the amount then calculated shall be accrued for purposes of the next calculation to be made pursuant to Section 8.3.2.

8.6. Indemnification Procedures in Case of Third Party Claims. For purposes of this Section VIII, any and all Dispute presented by third parties, including Governmental Authorities, which may constitute a Loss, shall hereafter be referred to as a “Third Party Claim”. Third Party Claims in connection to TRIP regarding judicial and administrative proceedings listed in the Exhibits hereof shall be considered as notified on this date to TRIP’s Shareholders for payment of any eventual Losses resulting from such, for which the defense shall continue to be conducted as currently conducted by TRIP. Likewise, Third Party Claims in connection to AZUL Holding regarding judicial and administrative proceedings listed in the Exhibits hereof shall continue to be conducted as currently conducted by AZUL Holding.

8.6.1. If a Third Party Claim arises against any Indemnifiable Party, for which either TRIP’s Shareholders or AZUL Holding is responsible (the “Indemnifying Party”), in whole or in part hereunder, any of the Indemnifiable Parties, as the case may be, that becomes aware, by any manner, of such Third Party Claim and/or receive any official letter, notice or subpoena to this effect, shall notify the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, to the persons and in the form provided in Section 10.1 hereof (“Notice of Third Party Claim”).

8.6.2. The Notice of Third Party Claim shall be sent before 1/3 (one third) of the period available for the presentation of defense or appropriate relief against such Third Party Claim (“Defense”) has elapsed.

8.6.3. The Notice of Third Party Claim shall contain, whenever possible, the Indemnifiable Party’s estimate of the total amount of Loss pertaining to the Third Party Claim pursuant to terms of this Section 8.6, including fines, interest, fees and other charges necessary for the restoration of the Indemnifiable Party.

8.6.4. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the Defense of the Third Party Claim, through legal counsel of its choice or through any other person appointed by it, provided it notifies the Indemnifiable Party in writing, as provided in Section 10.1, before half the legal term for the submission of Defense has elapsed. The absence of a written notice from the Indemnifying Party under the terms and periods set forth in this Section 8.6.4 shall be deemed a waiver of its right to assume the Defense.

8.6.5. If the Defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party:

 

(i) the Indemnifying Party may enter into agreements or pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim regardless of prior consent in writing of the Indemnifiable Party, provided that such agreement is solely connected to the financial recovery and does not imply recognition of guilt, or adversely affect the reputation of the Indemnifiable Party;

 

(ii) the Indemnifiable Party agrees to promptly provide any and all information and documents relevant and reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, and which are within reach of the Indemnifiable Party, including the power of attorney required for the preparation of Defense; and

8.6.6. In the event that the Indemnifiable Party fails to comply with the obligation set forth in Sections 8.6.2 or 8.6.5 (ii), the Indemnifiable Party shall lose the right to be indemnified for its Loss pursuant to terms of this Section VIII, if and only if such noncompliance results in the nonobservance of procedural deadline for the submission of the Defense or otherwise materially harm the Defense.

8.6.7. In the event that the Third Party Claim refers to periods, events or omissions prior to or after the Signing Date, the Defense may only be assumed by the Indemnifying Party if the majority of the obligation object of the Third Party Claim lies under such Party’s responsibility, subject to provisions of Sections 8.6.4 and 8.6.5 above. Otherwise, the Defense shall be conducted by the Indemnifiable Party.

8.6.8. Subject to Section 8.6.5 (iii) above, regardless of which Party leads the Defense, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for all costs and expenses (to be considered as Indemnifiable Loss under this Section VIII) associated with the Defense of any Third Party Claim that may generate a Loss for which it is responsible, including accountants and experts, administrative and/or judicial fees and administrative and judicial deposits required or necessary to enable the proper conduction and presentation of the Defense, except for reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable related expenses.

8.6.9. The Indemnifying Party shall use its best efforts to hold the Indemnifiable Party, at any time, free from any restrictions and/or lien that may eventually arise from a Third Party Claim, including the obtainment of tax and/or social security and pension certificates by the Indemnifiable Party. In case the Indemnified Party, as a result of a Third Party Claim, is unable to obtain one or more tax and/or social security and pension certificates, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly take all measures within its power, including the filing of applicable lawsuits and/or the provision of full tax credit guarantee, so as to enable the obtainment of such certificates by the Indemnifiable Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party applies its own resources to guarantee the Third Party Claim, such amount, if released, shall be fully restituted to the Indemnifying Party, adjusted in the same terms of its respective judicial deposit.

8.7. Procedure for Indemnification of Direct Claim. In the case of Losses suffered or incurred by an Indemnifiable Party and which are the responsibility of the Indemnifying Party, pursuant to this Section VIII, for whatever reason which does not constitute a Third Party Claim (“Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss suffered or incurred, added, whenever possible, by an estimate of the amount to be indemnified (“Notice of Direct Claim”).

8.7.1. The Indemnifying Party, within 30 (thirty) calendar days of receipt of the Notice of Direct Claim, shall deliver a written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether or not it agrees to be liable for the claimed indemnification or whether or not it agrees with the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss presented in such Notice of Direct Claim.

8.7.2. If the Indemnifying Party agrees to be liable for the payment of the referred Loss and agrees with the amount presented in the Notice of Direct Claim, or fails to respond within the period specified above, the Notice of Direct Claim shall then be deemed a notice of Loss for purposes hereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the claimed indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Section VIII.

8.7.3. If the Indemnifying Party declares itself not responsible for the indemnification claimed or disagrees with the amount of Loss presented in the Notice of Direct Claim, the Indemnified Party may refer the matter to the arbitration procedure set forth in Section 10.10 below.

8.8. For clarity purposes, the Parties agree that any Loss resulting from acts or omissions of the management of TRIP or AZUL performed after the Date of Merger shall not be deemed an indemnifiable Loss, and, therefore, shall not be indemnified by any of the Parties under this Section VIII, even if such acts or omissions relate to agreements, arrangement or protocols (convênios) (including, without limitation, protocols (covenio) or agreements executed with States or Municipalities relating to tax benefits) existing prior to the Date of Merger.

10.10.7 Regardless of the nature of the dispute to be settled through arbitration, all Parties shall participate in it, either as party (when the dispute directly involves it as claimant or counterclaimant), or as interested third party (when it may be, in any way, directly or indirectly affected by decisions to be made in the course or at the end of the procedure).

PREAMBLE

A.    WHEREAS on May 25, 2012, the Parties and the Intervening and Consenting Parties signed an Investment Agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”), whereby it was agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Original Investment Agreement, all TRIP’s Shares (as defined in the Original Investment Agreement) would be merged into AZUL Holding, with the subsequent delivery of the new shares issued by AZUL Holding to TRIP’s Shareholders, without the winding up of TRIP, according to the provisions of Article 252 of Federal Law No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976;

B.    WHEREAS, on August 15, 2012, the Parties and the Intervening and Consenting Parties signed the First Amendment to the Original Investment Agreement, (the “First Amendment”, such Original Investment Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, hereafter simply referred to as the “Investment Agreement”), whereby certain terms and conditions of the Original Investment Agreement were amended. Such Original Investment Agreement was restated and became effective with the wording provided for in Exhibit I to the First Amendment;

C.    WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, TRIP’s Shareholders received 30.7% (thirty point seven percent) of the total shares of AZUL Holding, that is, 1,231,343 (one million, two hundred and thirty-one thousand, three hundred and forty-three) common shares, corresponding to 33% (thirty-three percent) of the total common shares, and 553,627 (five hundred and fifty-three thousand, six hundred and twenty-seven) Class B preferred shares (subsequently converted into a single class of preferred shares, as explained below), corresponding to 28.2% (twenty-eight point two percent) of the total Class B preferred shares (and such shares are referred to hereinafter as “AZUL Holding’s New Shares”, pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Agreement);

D.    WHEREAS Section VI of the Investment Agreement provides for the Adjustment to the Initial Exchange Ratio, whereby the Parties agreed that, on (and from) the Date of Merger, AZUL Holding’s New Shares issued to TRIP’s Shareholders would represent 27% (twenty-seven percent) of the economic value of AZUL Holding, and such equity interest could potentially be increased to up to 33% (thirty-three percent) of the economic value of AZUL Holding, depending on the Pre-Money Valuation (as defined in the Investment Agreement), on the pricing date of its IPO;

E.    WHEREAS on March 22, 2013, AZUL Holding modified its shareholding structure in order to enable its initial public offering of shares (the “Shareholding Restructuring”), whereby (1) a split of shares was carried out, and (2) all former Class A and Class B preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding were converted into a single and exclusive class of preferred shares (hereafter simply referred to as “AZUL Holding’s Preferred Shares – Post-Shareholding Restructuring”). The equity interest held by the Original Shareholders and TRIP’s Shareholders in AZUL Holding remained unchanged, in percentage terms, as well as the economic value attached to such equity interests, as determined in accordance with Exhibit A hereto; and

F.    WHEREAS, on December 23, 2013, AZUL Holding carried out a private placement whereby it received a capital contribution from shareholders and other new investors (who, by reason of such contribution, also became shareholders of AZUL Holding) (the “Private Placement”), which resulted in (1) a change (1.a) of the equity interests held by each of the Original Shareholders and TRIP’s Shareholders in AZUL Holding, as well as (1.b_ the economic value attached to such equity interests, all in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B hereto; (2) the conversion of all AZUL Holding’s Preferred Shares – Post-Shareholding Restructuring into Class A preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding (the “AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares–Post-Private Placement”); and (3) creation of Class B preferred shares of AZUL Holding (the “AZUL Holding’s Class B Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement”, which, together with the AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement, are referred to herein as “AZUL Holding’s Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement”), it being understood that, for the purposes of the investments made in the context of the Private Placement, only the AZUL Holding’s Class B Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement have been issued and fully paid in by the shareholders and/or participating investors; and

G.    WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Parties wish to change how the adjustment of the initial exchange ratio shall be made and provide that, on the Date of Adjustment – Shareholding (as defined below), TRIP’s Shareholders shall be entitled to subscribe for and pay in, through the exercise of a specific subscription warrant for this purpose, 3,838,906 (three million, eight hundred thirty-eight thousand, nine hundred and six) new AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement (or any other preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding whose relevant class, at the time of the exercise of the subscription warrant, presents the same rights and privileges currently attributed to the AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement) to cause TRIP’s Shareholders to hold, jointly and on a prorated basis in relation to their current equity interests in AZUL Holding’s share capital, approximately 29.99% (twenty-nine point ninety-nine percent) of the shares representing the total economic value of AZUL Holding (such economic value shall be calculated in accordance with the mechanisms and principles set out in Exhibit 6.1(A) to the Investment Agreement), notwithstanding any further shareholding adjustments resulting from amounts due as indemnification between the Parties, as established in Section VIII of the Investment Agreement,

Following the Date of Merger and subsequent to the implementation of the Shareholding Restructuring and the Private Placement, TRIP’s Shareholders shall became holders of 31.88% (thirty-one point eighty-eight percent) of the total shares issued by AZUL Holding, that is, 153,279,210 (one hundred fifty-three million, two hundred seventy-nine thousand, two hundred and ten) common shares, equivalent to 33% (thirty-three percent) of the total shares, and 22,145,080 (twenty-two million, one hundred and forty-five thousand and eighty) AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement, equivalent to 26.55% (twenty-six point fifty-five percent) of all AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement.

the new AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement (or any other preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding whose respective class, at the time of the exercise of the subscription warrant, presents the same rights and privileges currently attributed to AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement), 25,983,986 (twenty-five million, nine hundred eighty-three thousand, nine hundred eighty-six) shares issued by AZUL Holding (including common and preferred shares) which jointly represent approximately 29.99% (twenty-nine point ninety-nine percent) of the total economic value of AZUL Holding. For clarification purposes, the common shares issued by AZUL Holding have an economic value different from that of AZUL Holding’s Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement. Based on this assumption, and notwithstanding the effective equity interest held by each Party in AZUL Holding’s share capital, the Parties agree that the shares held by TRIP’s Shareholders represent 26.99% (twenty-six point ninety-nine percent) of the total economic value of AZUL Holding, and this equity interest may be increase to 29.99% (twenty-nine point ninety-nine percent) of the economic value of AZUL Holding, depending on the exercise by the TRIP’s Shareholders of the Subscription Warrants for Shareholding Adjustment (as defined and issued in accordance with Section 6.2 below), it being understood that, for the purposes of such economic value percentage calculation, all mechanisms and principles established in Exhibit 6.1(A) of the Investment Agreement have been observed.”

1.6. A new Section 6.2 is hereby inserted in the Investment Agreement, which shall be in force in accordance with the following wording:

“6.2. TRIP’s Shareholders’ Subscription Warrant – Shareholding Adjustment. The Parties agree to call an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of AZUL Holding (the “AGE for the Issuance of New Subscription Warrants”), whose meeting agenda will contain, among other matters of interest to the shareholders, the approval of the issuance of a subscription warrant by AZUL Holding, for a subscription price of R$ [*****] Brazilian Reais), exercisable by TRIP’s Shareholders at any time, until the Date of Adjustment—Shareholding.

AZUL Holding’s economic value, pursuant to Section 6.1 above. The Parties shall issue the Subscription Warrants for Shareholding Adjustment – TRIP’s Shareholders so that the Original Shareholders and the new shareholders admitted as a result of the Private Placement will waive, on behalf of TRIP’s Shareholders, their preemptive right in relation to the aforesaid subscription warrant. From the issuance of the Subscription Warrants for Shareholding Adjustment – TRIP’s Shareholders, all obligations set forth in Sections VI and VII of this Agreement shall no longer be enforced against the shareholders holding AZUL Holding’s Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement, and TRIP’s Shareholders shall use the Subscription Warrants for Shareholding Adjustment – TRIP’s Shareholders to consummate the transactions described in Sections VI and VIII.”

1.7. Immediately after the exercise of the new TRIP’s Shareholders’ Subscription Warrant – Shareholding Adjustment, as issued pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Investment Agreement, the equity interest of TRIP’s Shareholders in AZUL Holding shall be that set forth in Exhibit C to this Second Amendment.

1.8. Exhibit 6.2 to the Investment Agreement is hereby included and shall contain the form to be used for the Subscription Warrants for Shareholding Adjustment – TRIP’s Shareholders. The new Exhibit 6.2 to the Investment Agreement is made available in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D to this Second Amendment.

1.9. Section 6.3 of the Investment Agreement is hereby amended and shall come into effect based on the following new wording:

6.3. Dilution Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in case TRIP’s Shareholders, the Original Shareholders and the new shareholders admitted as a result of the Private Placement do not follow, in whole or in part, any capital increase transaction of AZUL Holding between the date of issuance of the TRIP’s Shareholders’ Subscription Warrant – Shareholding Adjustment and the Date of Adjustment – Shareholding, the number of AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement (or any other preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding whose respective class, at the time of the exercise of the subscription warrant, presents the same rights and privileges currently attributed to AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement), as set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, that TRIP’s Shareholders will subscribe for and pay in shall be redefined in accordance with the actual variation in the equity interest of TRIP’s Shareholders, the Original Shareholders and/or the new shareholders admitted as a result of the Private Placement, as the case may be, keeping the adjustment mechanics set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, and further subject to any additional variation in the equity interest of TRIP’s Shareholders as a result of the provisions of Section VIII.

Conversely, the Parties shall in good faith determine the total amount of losses indemnifiable by AZUL Holding, as provided in Section 8.2 below and updated by the CDI, which effectively generated a cash outflow on the part of TRIP’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties within the period between the Date of Execution and the Adjustment—Indemnifications Date (the “Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders”). The sum of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding and Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders are referred to as the “Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment–Indemnifications Date”. In the event that the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date are positive in favor of AZUL Holding’s Indemnifiable Parties (that is, the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding do not overcome the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders), then the Original Shareholders shall have the right to exercise, within 4 (four) days from the determination of the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, the Subscription Warrants for Shareholding Adjustment – Original Shareholders, so that they shall receive, on a prorated basis and proportionally to their stake in the share capital of AZUL Holding, a number of AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement (or any other preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding whose respective class, at the time of the exercise of the subscription warrant, presents the same rights and privileges currently attributed to AZUL Holding’s Class A Preferred Shares – Post-Private Placement), determined as per the formula set forth below:

Each Party remains entitled to propose in the competent common judgment the legal measures aimed at obtaining precautionary approvals for protection or safeguarding of rights or as preparation prior to the establishment of the Arbitral Tribunal, such action not to be construed as a waiver of arbitration. For the exercise of court protections, the Parties elect the courts sitting in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, as competent jurisdiction, expressly waiving any other, no matter how privileged it may be. After the initiation of the Arbitral Tribunal, such measures shall be directed to the Arbitral Tribunal.

2.8.6. According to art. 475-P of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code, the execution of the judgment shall take place in the judicial district it was processed (the City of São Paulo, State São Paulo), the execution creditor being able to legally opt for the location where assets subject to expropriation are located or at the primary residence of the execution debtor. Each Party shall use its best efforts to ensure the expeditious and efficient completion of the arbitration proceedings.

2.8.7 Regardless of the nature of the dispute to be settled through arbitration, all Parties shall participate in it, either as party (when the dispute directly involves it as claimant or counterclaimant), or as interested third party (when it may be, in any way, directly or indirectly affected by decisions to be made in the course or at the end of the procedure). Likewise, the award shall be final and binding on all Parties, regardless of eventual refusal by any Party to participate in the arbitration procedure, either as party or interested third party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Second Amendment to be signed in eight (8) original counterparts of equal content and form, in the presence of the two (2) undersigned witnesses.

São Paulo, December 27, 2013.

PREAMBLE

A. WHEREAS, on May 25, 2012, the Parties and the Intervening and Consenting Parties executed the Investment Agreement (“Original Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which the merger of all TRIP’s Shares (as provided for in the Original Investment Agreement) into AZUL Holding was agreed, subsequently delivering newly issued shares of AZUL Holding to TRIP’s Shareholders, without causing the winding up of TRIP, pursuant to the provisions of article 252 of Law No. 6,404, dated December 15, 1976;

B. WHEREAS, on August 15, 2012, the Parties and the Intervening and Consenting Parties executed the First Amendment to the Agreement (“First Amendment”), which amended certain terms and conditions of the Original Investment Agreement;

C. WHEREAS, on December 27, 2013, the Parties executed the Second Amendment to the Agreement (“Second Amendment,” and the Original Investment Agreement, as amended in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment and Second Amendment, hereinafter simply referred to as “Investment Agreement”), which amended the criteria applicable to adjust their shareholdings (“New Criteria”) in AZUL Holding, to be made as a result of the obligation to indemnify as provided for in Sections 8.1.1(a)(i) and 8.2.1(a)(i) of the Investment Agreement (“Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications”);

D. WHEREAS, in order to (i) implement the New Criteria and (ii) set forth a method to allow TRIP’s Shareholders and/or Original Shareholders, as applicable, to make the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications, without assistance of the indemnifying parties, TRIP’s Shareholders Subscription Warrants – Indemnifications Adjustment and Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders (collectively, hereinafter referred to as “Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnifications”) were issued to TRIP’s Shareholders and Original Shareholders, respectively, allowing each group of shareholders to subscribe for and pay up as many new Azul Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement as needed, to complete the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications, according to the calculation of Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date (as defined in the Investment Agreement);

E. WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 8.1.1(a)(i), 8.2.1(a)(i), 8.3, and 8.4 of the Investment Agreement, TRIP’s Shareholders and each Original Shareholders agreed on the figure that best reflects Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date (as defined in the Investment Agreement), which figure corresponds to [*****], in favor of the Original Shareholders (“Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnification”), as described in Exhibit A hereto (“Indemnifications and Adjustments Calculation Spreadsheet”);

F. WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.1.1(b) of the Investment Agreement, on October 21, 2014, TRIP’s Shareholders had the opportunity to pay the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnification in cash. However, they chose not to do so and therefore agreed to pay the amount due as indemnification to the Original Shareholders through the issuance of new AZUL Holding PN-A Shares, to be subscribed for and paid up by the Original Shareholders, pursuant to the terms of the respective Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders;

G. WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Parties agree that the formulas set forth in Sections 8.1.1(a)(i) and 8.2.1(a)(i) of the Investment Agreement (which formulas were also included in the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnifications) (“Formulas”) need to be adjusted and fixed in order to obtain the correct number of shares that the Original Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for and pay up to dilute the shareholding of TRIP’s Shareholders in AZUL Holding, proportionally to the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnification (“New Share Issuance Agreement – Indemnification”); and

H. WHEREAS, as a result of the New Share Issuance Agreement – Indemnification, the Parties agree that (i) AZUL Holding shall make as many capital increases as necessary to allow Original Shareholders to subscribe for and pay up the number of shares indicated in the Indemnifications and Adjustments Calculation Spreadsheet, in order to document, in favor of the relevant shareholders, the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications based on the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnification; (ii) as a result of the inconsistencies identified in the Formulas, the Original Shareholders shall no longer exercise the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Original Shareholders, and accordingly agree that such securities shall be returned to AZUL Holding and permanently cancelled, and the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications shall be exclusively made through the capital increases mentioned in Item (i) above; and (iii) because the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications were favorable to the Original Shareholders and, consequently, the condition for exercise provided for TRIP’s Shareholders Subscription Warrants – Indemnification Adjustments did not occur, TRIP’s Shareholders shall return the relevant securities to AZUL Holding to be permanently cancelled,

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES, together with the Intervening and Consenting Parties, have resolved to enter into this Third Amendment to the Investment Agreement (“Third Amendment”), which shall be governed by the following terms and conditions:

SECTION I

AMENDMENTS AND ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

1.1. Based on procedures and documentation in connection with Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications, the Parties agree that, on the date hereof, Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date correspond to the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnification (as provided in Item “E” above), pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Indemnifications and Adjustments Calculation Spreadsheet.

1.2. Taking into account that the Formulas need to be adjusted and fixed, the Parties agree to amend them, pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 below, in order to calculate the correct number of shares to be subscribed for by the Original Shareholders to decrease the shareholding of TRIP’s Shareholders in a total real amount equivalent to the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnification.

 

page 4 of 15


1.3. Taking into account the foregoing amendments, the Parties agree to amend Section 8.1.1(a)(i) of the Investment Agreement, which shall hereafter read as follows:

“(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.5, up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, the Parties shall determine in good faith the total amount of Losses indemnifiable by TRIP’s Shareholders, as provided in Section 8.1 and updated by the CDI, from the date of disbursement of the respective Losses to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, which effectively generated a Cash Outflow on the part of AZUL Holding’s Indemnifiable Parties within the period between the Date of Execution and the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date (“Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding”). Conversely, the Parties shall in good faith determine the total amount of Losses indemnifiable by AZUL Holding, as provided in Section 8.2 below and updated by the CDI, from the date of disbursement of the respective Losses to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, which effectively generated a Cash Outflow on the part of TRIP’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties within the period between the Date of Execution and the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date (“Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders”). The sum of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding and Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders is referred to as “Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date.” In the event that the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date are positive in favor of AZUL Holding’s Indemnifiable Parties (that is, the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding exceed the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders), then the Original Shareholders shall have the right to subscribe for and pay up, through successive capital increases, on a prorated basis to their stake in the share capital of AZUL Holding, the number of AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement (or any other preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding whose respective Class, at the moment of exercise of the subscription warrant, entitles their holders to the same rights and privileges currently attributed to Azul Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement) so as to allow a dilution in the shareholding of TRIP’s Shareholders in AZUL Holding, proportionally to the balance of Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date in favor of Original Shareholders, as per the formula set forth below:

ARP = {(PPIAH—PPIAT) / VPAPI} / PRT

where:

PRT = NAT / NAZ + ARP

a. ARP: Number of AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement (or other preferred shares entitling their holders to the same rights and privileges currently attributed to AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement) to be issued in favor of the Original Shareholders, by AZUL Holding;

b. PPIAT: Total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders as of the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date updated by the CDI;

c. PPIAH: Total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding as of the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date updated by the CDI;

d. VPAPI: Individual amount of each preferred share, calculated as follows: (I) amount in Reais of the Pre-Money Valuation (as defined in Section 1.1) exclusively attributed to Class A common and preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding, according to the Conversion Rate of the day of pricing of the IPO, less (II) [*****] corresponding to the capital contribution made in AZUL Holding due to settlement of the Private Placement, duly updated by the CDI; the difference between (I) and (II) shall be divided by the difference between (i) the total number of shares issued by AZUL Holding immediately prior to the IPO (assuming the conversion of all common shares into AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement at a ratio of 75:1), less (ii) the number of preferred shares issued as a result of the Private Placement until the date of the IPO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case the IPO does not occur until the Deadline (therefore, with no Pre-Money Valuation), the amount corresponding to the difference between Items (I) and (II) above shall be [*****].

e. PRT: Resulting Shareholding of Trip’s Shareholders after the issuance of AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement, pursuant to the terms hereof, without taking into account the number of preferred shares issued as a result of the Private Placement;

f. NAT = Total number of shares issued by AZUL Holding held by Trip’s Shareholders (assuming the conversion of all common shares into AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement at a ratio of 75:1); and

g. NAZ = Total number of shares issued by AZUL Holding (assuming the conversion of all common shares into AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement at a ratio of 75:1) immediately before the issuance of the AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement, pursuant to the terms hereof, without taking into account the number of preferred shares issued as a result of the Private Placement.”

1.4. As a result of the foregoing amendments, the Parties agree to amend Section 8.2.1(a)(i) of the Investment Agreement, which shall hereafter read as follows:

“(i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.2.1(b) and 8.5, up to the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date, the Parties shall determine in good faith the total amount of Losses with Cash Outflow of Trip’s Shareholders. Conversely, the Parties shall in good faith determine the total amount of Losses with Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding’s Shareholders. In the event that the Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date are positive in favor of TRIP’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties (that is, the Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders exceed the Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding), then TRIP’s Shareholders shall have the right to subscribe for and pay up, upon successive capital increases, on a prorated basis and proportionally to their stake in the share capital of AZUL Holding, the number of AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement (or any other preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding whose respective Class, at the moment of exercise of the subscription warrant, entitles their holders to the same rights and privileges currently attributed to AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement) so as to allow a dilution in the shareholding of the Original Shareholders in AZUL Holding, proportionally to the balance of Total Losses of Parties up to the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date in favor of Trip’s Shareholders’ Indemnifiable Parties, as per the formula set forth below:

ARP = {(PPIAT—PPIAH) / VPAPI} / PRO

where:

PRO = NAT / NAZ + ARP

a. ARP: Number of AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement (or other preferred shares entitling their holders to the same rights and privileges currently attributed to AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement) to be issued in favor of Trip’s Shareholders by AZUL Holding;

b. PPIAT: Total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of TRIP’s Shareholders as of the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date updated by the CDI;

c. PPIAH: Total amount of Losses With Cash Outflow of AZUL Holding as of the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date updated by the CDI;

d. VPAPI: Individual amount of each preferred share, calculated as follows: (I) amount in Reais of the Pre-Money Valuation (as defined in Section 1.1) exclusively attributed to Class A common and preferred shares issued by AZUL Holding, according to the Conversion Rate of the day of pricing of the IPO, less (II) [*****] corresponding to the capital contribution made in AZUL Holding due to settlement of the Private Placement, duly updated by the CDI; the difference between (I) and (II) shall be divided by the difference between (i) the total number of shares issued by AZUL Holding immediately prior to the IPO (assuming the conversion of all common shares into AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement at a ratio of 75:1), less (ii) the number of preferred shares issued as a result of the Private Placement until the date of the IPO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case the IPO does not occur until the Deadline (therefore, with no Pre-Money Valuation), the amount corresponding to the difference between Items (I) and (II) above shall be [*****];

e. PRO: Resulting Shareholding of the Original Shareholders after the issuance of AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement, pursuant to the terms hereof, without taking into account the number of preferred shares issued as a result of the Private Placement;

f. NAT = Total number of shares issued by AZUL Holding held by the Original Shareholders (assuming the conversion of all common shares into AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement at a ratio of 75:1); and

g. NAZ = Total number of shares issued by AZUL Holding (assuming the conversion of all common shares into AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement at a ratio of 75:1) immediately before the issuance of the AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement, pursuant to the terms hereof, without taking into account the number of preferred shares issued as a result of the Private Placement.”

1.5. As a result of the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications made in accordance with the new formulas set forth in Sections 1.3 and 1.4 above, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Original Shareholders shall have the right to subscribe for and pay up, jointly and proportionally to their stake in the share capital of AZUL Holding, upon one or more capital increases, to be documented and made on the date hereof, the total amount of 3,008,801 (three million, eight thousand, eight hundred and one) AZUL Holding PN-A Shares – Post Private Placement (“Adjustment Shares”), for a total price of [*****], diluting, at the same proportion, the shareholding of Trip’s Shareholders and making total shares held by them correspond to an amount equal to the difference between (i) the price of the shares held by them until the date hereof, and (ii) the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnifications. The total loss of the economic value of the shares of Trip’s Shareholders therefore equals to, on the date hereof, the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnifications. For purposes hereof, the economic value of AZUL Holding was set at [*****].

1.5.1. TRIP’s Shareholders hereby agree to waive their respective preemptive rights in capital increases to be made in AZUL Holding on the date hereof, in order to ensure that the Original Shareholders may, solely and exclusively, subscribe for and pay up, in accordance with the proportion and the issue prices set forth in the Indemnifications and Adjustments Calculation Spreadsheet, all Adjustment Shares.

1.6. Due to the inconsistencies identified in the Formulas and capital increases to be made on the date hereof in order to document the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications, pursuant to Sections 1.5 and 1.5.1 above, the Original Shareholders agree to no longer exercise the Subscription Warrants for the Adjustments of Shareholding – Original Shareholders, for which reason they return such securities to AZUL Holding to be permanently cancelled on the date hereof. Upon the issuance, subscription and payment of the Adjustment Shares on the date hereof, the Original Shareholders (i) acknowledge that, on the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date, Total Losses of Parties until the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date were positive in favor of the Indemnifiable Parties of AZUL Holding in an amount equal to the Indemnification Amount for the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnifications; (ii) give full and unrestricted release of Trip’s Shareholders’ obligation to indemnify pursuant to the Investment Agreement until the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, in accordance with the new wording hereby provided for to Section 8.1.1(a)(i) of the Investment Agreement, acknowledging they have nothing further to request, seek, or claim as a result of the abovementioned provision.

1.7. Because the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications were favorable to the Original Shareholders and, consequently, the condition for exercise provided for Trip’s Shareholders Subscription Warrants – Indemnifications Adjustment did not occur, Trip’s Shareholders shall not exercise such securities, for which reason they return them to AZUL Holding to be permanently cancelled on the date hereof. Upon the issuance, subscription, and payment, on the date hereof, of the Adjustment Shares by the Original Shareholders, TRIP’s Shareholders give full and unrestricted release of the Original Shareholders’ obligation to indemnify, in accordance with the new wording hereby provided for to Section 8.2.1(a)(i) of the Investment Agreement, acknowledging they have nothing further to request, seek, or claim as a result of the abovementioned provision.

1.8. In addition to Sections 1.6 and 1.7 above, upon the issuance, subscription, and payment of the Adjustment Shares on the date hereof, the Parties mutually give full and unrestricted release of all obligations to indemnify incurred under discussion between the Parties in the assessment of the indemnification basket until the Adjustment– Indemnifications Date. It is hereby noted that: (i) the Adjustments of Shareholding – Indemnifications also fully include the amounts that were already settled and any installments payable in connection with the option for REFIS, by Trip Serviços de Suporte Aéreo S.A., in August 2014; and (ii) the negative balance (tax loss) used by Trip Serviços de Suporte Aéreo S.A. to amortize the REFIS installment program does not fit the definition of Loss (as defined in the Investment Agreement).

1.9. The Parties agree to set the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, for all purposes of the Investment Agreement (including as amended hereby), as August 30, 2014. The Parties agree that the Adjustment of Shareholding – Indemnifications reflect the positive balance in favor of the Indemnifiable Parties of AZUL Holding until the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, and that, for all purposes, the indemnification method included in Sections 8.3 and following of the Investment Agreement shall be applicable as of the day following the Adjustment – Indemnifications Date, as provided for in the Investment Agreement.

2.2. The Parties undertake and ratify all other provisions of the Investment Agreement that were not hereby expressly amended, including, without limitation, the other indemnification duties of the Parties provided for in Section 8 of the Investment Agreement.
