12.1.1. The Indemnified Party shall give a notice to the Indemnifying Party, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of facts which may give rise to an obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 12.1 (“Notice of Direct Claim”). The Notice of Direct Claim shall describe the Direct Claim and the circumstances, events, facts, obligations, documents, information or matters giving rise to the Direct Claim, the amount of the Loss (if determinable), the method of calculation thereof, a reference to the provision of this Agreement upon which Direct Claim is based and shall accompany any and all necessary document regarding such Direct Claim in possession of the Indemnified Party.

 

12.1.2. If the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees (i) to be liable for the payment of the Loss in question, and (ii) with the amount of Loss requested in the Notice of Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party such requested amount, as set forth herein, within thirty (30) days as from the date of such determination.

 

50

 

 

12.1.3. If the Indemnifying Party responds to the Notice of Direct Claim to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days as of the receipt of such Notice of Direct Claim by the Indemnifying Party, stating its intention to discuss the matter, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt to resolve any such dispute amicably during a period of thirty (30) days from the delivery by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its response to the Notice of Direct Claim.

12.2.1. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim.

12.2.2. If the Indemnifying Party agrees to conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall inform the Indemnified Party about such decision within at most five (5) Business Days as from the date of receipt of the Notice of Third-Party Claim sent by the Indemnified Party or prior to the expiration of two-thirds (2/3) period of the remaining legal term established for answer or defense against such Third-Party Claim, whichever occurs first. Should the Indemnifying Party fail to answer the Notice of Third-Party Claim within such period, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

 

12.2.3. For clarification purposes, the decision of the Indemnifying Party to conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim shall not be deemed as an acceptance or acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Loss in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

 

12.2.4. The Party that conducts the defense shall bear all costs and expenses of the defense of the Third-Party Claim (including, without limitation, fees of legal counsel) during the course of such claim, and if the Claim is conducted by the Indemnified Party such costs and expenses shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party if the relevant matter results in an indemnifiable Loss hereunder. In the context of Third-Party Claims filed against the Parties, the respective Party shall make any court deposits or provide any other guarantees necessary or requested by the Governmental Authority, provided that such costs, expenses, court deposit and guarantees and remuneration of any of the foregoing shall be subject to indemnification on the terms set forth herein.

(b) shall not be entitled to have control over the defense of any Third-Party Claim.

 

12.2.7. Each Party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and shall grant the necessary powers to the Party conducting the defense and furnish or cause to be furnished all information and assistance, including, but not limited, access to records, testimony, and attendance of meetings, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

 

12.2.8. The Parties agree that a Third-Party Claim shall only become due and payable under the terms set forth herein upon (a) a final and non-appealable decision (trânsito em julgado) of any judicial or administrative proceeding and, in case of an arbitration, the issuance of the arbitration award, or (b) a judicial or extrajudicial settlement has been duly confirmed or reached.

 

12.3. Indemnification Settlement or Payment. The Parties agree that, (A) except for Losses incurred as result of Sections 10.1(iii), 10.1(iv), 10.2(iii), 10.3(iii), 10.3(iv), and 10.4(iii), and as a result of breach of Fundamental Representations and Warranties (except as provided in Section 12.5 and 12.6) – which shall be immediately indemnified, but no indemnification shall be paid by any Indemnifying Party until the end of the Lock-Up Period (“Indemnification Settlement Date”), (B) an Indemnifying Party pursuant to the indemnifiable events set forth in Sections 10.1(i) and 10.1(ii) (other than Fundamental Representations and Warranties), 10.2(i) and 10.2(ii) (other than Fundamental Representations and Warranties), 10.3(i) and 10.3(ii) (other than Fundamental Representations and Warranties), and 10.4(i) and 10.4(ii) (other than Fundamental Representations and Warranties) (“Potential Settlement Indemnities”) may elect that the Losses indemnifiable by them pursuant to such Sections become immediately due and settled on the Indemnification Settlement Date in accordance with Section 12.3.1 below (“Indemnification Settlement”), and (C) in the event an Indemnifying Party does not elect to exercise its right to the Indemnification Settlement in respect of a Potential Settlement Indemnity, the obligations of such Indemnifying Party in relation to such indemnifiable event shall continue valid and effective in accordance with Section 12.3.2.

 

12.3.1. In case an Indemnifying Party elects to exercise its right to the Indemnification Settlement, then it shall send a notice to the Indemnified Party at least sixty (60) days in advance of the Indemnification Settlement Date indicating the Potential Settlement Indemnities it wishes to settle (“Indemnification Settlement Matters”), and the applicable Indemnification Settlement Matters shall be jointly submitted for appraisal by a first-tier law firm (which, if agreed by the respective Parties, will be supported by advice and/or assessment of additional technical experts) (“Legal Advisor”). The Legal Advisor shall provide a loss prognosis for each of such Indemnification Settlement Matters. If the Parties fails to reach an agreement in respect of the Legal Advisor, the Indemnifying Party shall submit to the Indemnified Party, at least, three (3) proposals of first-tier law firms, of which the Indemnified Party shall select one (1) of these law firms to act as the Legal Advisor. In any case, the Legal Advisor shall be engaged jointly by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party, provided that expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Such loss prognosis shall be delivered by the Legal Advisor to the relevant Parties until ten (10) days in advance of the Settlement Date, and such loss prognosis will be final and binding upon such Parties, except in the event of any fraud, manifest error or willful misconduct. For purposes of the Indemnification Settlement and amount due by the respective Indemnifying Party, if the loss prognosis as provided by the Legal Advisor relating to a certain Indemnification Settlement Matter is (i) probable, than the full amount involved in the respective matter (i.e., 100%) shall be considered due and payable for purposes of indemnification and such settlement, (ii) possible, than half of the full amount involved in the respective matter (i.e., 50%) shall be considered due and payable for purposes of indemnification and such settlement, and (iii) remote, than no amount relating to such matter shall be considered due and payable for purposes of indemnification and such settlement. After receipt of the report of the Legal Advisor, the relevant Parties shall meet on the Indemnification Settlement Date and the result of the sum of the indemnity corresponding to each of the Indemnification Settlement Matters according to the loss prognosis mentioned above (“Indemnification Settlement Amount”) shall be paid by the relevant Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 12.3.1.1 and 12.3.1.2 below, as the case may be.

In the event of joinder of parties (litisconsórcio), the co-plaintiffs or co-defendants, as the case may be, shall mutually agree on an arbitrator to participate in the Arbitration Tribunal, it being understood that, should such parties fail to reach an agreement on this regard, the arbitrator shall be chosen by the Chairman of the Arbitration Chamber, pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.

The Arbitration Tribunal shall not resort to the rules of equity to resolve the disputes submitted to it.

 

19.9. Arbitration Rules. The Parties declare they are fully aware of the Arbitration Rules and that they have agreed with all provisions thereof. The Arbitration Rules in effect as of this date, and the provisions of the Arbitration Law, are an integral part hereof to the extent applicable.

 

19.10. Ruling in Absentia. The arbitration proceedings shall continue notwithstanding the absence of any of the Parties, as provided in the Arbitration Rules.

 

19.11. Binding Effect.

Should a party prevail in part, both parties shall bear the costs, expenses and fees incurred proportionally to their defeat, as decided in the arbitration award.

 

19.13. Special Jurisdiction of the Courts. The Parties are fully aware of all terms and effects of this arbitration commitment and irrevocably agree that arbitration is the sole form of dispute resolution arising out and/or in connection with this Agreement. Without prejudice to validity of this arbitration commitment, the Parties elect the judicial district of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, with the exclusion of any other, if and when necessary, for the sole purpose of: (i) enforcing the arbitration award or of net, certain and payable obligations; (ii) obtaining coercive measures or provisional measures to guarantee the arbitration proceedings to be initiated or already in progress between the Parties and/or to ensure effectiveness of the arbitration proceedings; or (iii) obtaining court orders and specific performance orders.

 

19.13.1. In the events mentioned in items (ii) and (iii) of Section 19.13, the requesting Party shall request commencement of the arbitration proceedings within the statutory term or, should arbitration proceedings have already been initiated, it shall immediately inform the Arbitration Tribunal about the measure implemented by the courts. In any of these events, the Arbitration Tribunal already created or to be created shall be granted full and exclusive jurisdiction to decide on the matters and issues brought to the Judiciary, and the Arbitration tribunal shall review, grant, maintain or revoke the court order requested.

 

19.13.2. The request for any measure contemplated in Section 19.13 shall not represent a waiver of the arbitration clause or of the limits of the jurisdiction of the Arbitration Tribunal.

 

20. FORCE MAJEURE

 

20.1. Suspension of Obligations. In the event either Party is unable to perform its material obligations under this Agreement and/or unable to attest validity and accurateness of its respective representations and warranties pursuant to Sections 4.2.1 and 4.4.1, in any case, due to Force Majeure, then the Party not affected by such Force Majeure event (assuming two Parties for the purposes hereof, BrasilAgro and Company’s Shareholders) will be entitled to terminate this Agreement.

21.6. Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party would be irreparably harmed by any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that there would be no adequate remedy at Law or in damages to compensate the other Parties for any such breach.
