Account; (ii) the Buyer shall deliver, on the Closing Date, together with the Price in Shares on Demand, the remaining Withheld Shares (i.e., an amount of shares corresponding to the amount deposited in the Escrow Account) (“Released Withheld Shares”); and (iii) the Buyer shall allocate from the Cash Installment the amount to be deposited in the Escrow Account, as informed by the Sellers, and the Buyer shall make such deposit.

4.2. Release of Withheld Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, the amount referring to the Withheld Amount shall be released to the Sellers, according to the Equity Interest, as follows:

(a) On the date corresponding to the [**] ([**]) Business Day after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the amount corresponding to fifty percent (50%) of the Withheld Amount shall be released to the Sellers, deducted by the sum of the amounts of the Third-Party Claims or Direct Claims with an involved amount higher than the De Minimis in progress and whose Losses the Sellers are or may be required to indemnify under the terms of this Agreement; and

(b) On the date corresponding to the [**] ([**]) Business Day after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the amount corresponding to fifty percent (50%) of the Withheld Amount shall be released to the Sellers, deducted by the sum of the amounts of the Third-Party Claims or Direct Claims with an involved amount higher than the De Minimis in progress and whose Losses the Sellers are or may be required to indemnify under the terms of this Agreement.

4.3. Final release of the Withheld Amount. The amounts that are withheld at each release of part of the Withheld Amount, as provided for in Section 4.2, whose payment is outstanding as a result of any Third Party Claims or Direct Claims in progress, will remain withheld by the Buyer until the Third Party Claims or Direct Claims, as the case may be, are definitively resolved and will be (i) offset by the Buyer to the extent that they become indemnifiable Losses or (ii) released to the Sellers, within a period of up to [**] ([**]) Business Days from the date of the final decision.

4.4. Escrow Account. If, at any time, any of the Sellers expresses the intention to convert the Withheld Shares held by them into a pecuniary guarantee, the amount equivalent to the value of the respective Withheld Shares (which shall be evaluated as provided for in Exhibit 4.4) on the date of the conversion shall be deposited by the respective Seller in an escrow account in the name of the Buyer, and the amount of the principal deposited plus the income earned will serve as a guarantee of the obligation to

indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties assumed by the respective Seller, in the terms set forth in this Agreement. In this case, the Buyer undertakes to take the necessary actions, including with its bookrunner agent, to remove any annotation or caption to the free trading of Withheld Shares that may exist by virtue of the guarantee provided for in Section 3.1(c)(ii). In order to make the provisions of this Section 4 feasible, the Parties agree to, by the Closing Date, engage a first-rate bank, to be defined by mutual agreement between the Parties, to open and manage the escrow account (“Escrow Account”) pursuant to an escrow agreement that must observe market practices for transactions similar to those provided for in this Agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) and the following:

(a) Management. The Escrow Account shall be managed jointly between the Sellers and the Buyer pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;

(b) Remuneration. The withheld amount will be remunerated according to the investment policies agreed in the Escrow Agreement; and

(c) Release. The amount deposited in the Escrow Account is totally or partially released in the cases and observing the same terms and conditions of release and procedures of the Withheld Shares, as provided in this Section 4. Any operation of the Escrow Account will necessarily require the signature of the Representatives of the Sellers, subject to the provisions of Section 15.1.4.3.

5. PRICE ADJUSTMENT

5.1. Price Adjustment for Net Indebtedness and Working Capital. The Purchase Price will be subject to adjustment, upward or downward, as the case may be, if, on the Closing Date, (i) the Company’s Net Indebtedness (considering the difference between Indebtedness and Cash) is different from [**] Reais (R$[**]) (“Base Net Indebtedness”); and/or (ii) the Working Capital of the Company is different from [**] Reais (R$[**]) (“Base Working Capital”). The calculation, criteria and procedures for such adjustment in the Purchase Price will be those established in this Chapter.

5.2. Definitive Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price will be adjusted after the Closing, upward or downward, according to the actual Net Indebtedness and Working Capital on the Closing Date. If the Company’s Net Indebtedness on the Closing Date calculated in accordance with the criteria, methodology and assumptions set forth in Exhibit B to this

Agreement (“Confirmed Net Indebtedness”) is greater than the Base Net Indebtedness, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the absolute difference between the Confirmed Net Indebtedness and the Base Net Indebtedness; and, on the other hand, if the Confirmed Net Indebtedness is less than the Base Net Indebtedness, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of the absolute difference between the Confirmed Net Indebtedness and the Base Net Indebtedness. Additionally, if the Company’s Working Capital on the Closing Date calculated in accordance with the criteria, methodology and assumptions established in Exhibit B to this Agreement (“Confirmed Working Capital”) is lower than the Base Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the absolute difference between the Base Working Capital and the Confirmed Working Capital; and, on the other hand, if the Confirmed Working Capital is greater than the Base Working Capital, the Purchase Price must be increased by the amount of the absolute difference between the Base Working Capital and the Confirmed Working Capital.

5.2.1. The adjustments established in Section 5.2 shall apply together and cumulatively, in order to add a single adjustment amount to the Price in Currency (“Price Adjustment”).

5.3. Calculation. Within [**] ([**]) days from the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare a balance sheet for the Company dated as of the Closing Date (“Closing Balance”), calculated in accordance with BR GAAP and in a manner consistent with the principles used in the preparation of the Financial Statements and inform the Sellers, by means of written notification, the amount of the Confirmed Net Indebtedness, the Confirmed Working Capital and the Price Adjustment (“Price Adjustment Notice”).

Upon receipt of the Price Adjustment Notice, the receiving Party will have a period of [**] ([**]) days, counted from the date of receipt of the Price Adjustment Notice, to respond, in writing and with due justifications, whether or not it agrees with the calculations presented in such notice and, further, present its calculations on the Confirmed Net Indebtedness, the Confirmed Working Capital and the Price Adjustment.

5.3.3.1. If the receiving Party agrees with the amount of the calculated Price Adjustment, such amount shall, (i) if in favor of the Sellers, be paid by the Buyer to the Sellers, upon delivery of the corresponding number of shares issued by the Guarantor at the same value of the shares under the Price in Shares, and such additional shares must be delivered to the Sellers according to the Equity Interest, within a period of up to [**] ([**]) Business Days, counted from the date of receipt of the response to the Price Adjustment Notice; or (ii) if in favor of the Buyer, be adjusted for inflation according to the IPCA variation since the Closing Date and deducted from the Term Installment (“Price Adjustment Payment Forms”).

5.3.3.2. If the receiving Party disagrees with the amounts indicated in the Price Adjustment Notice, it shall, in writing and with due justifications, present its calculations on the Confirmed Net Indebtedness, the Confirmed Working Capital and the Price Adjustment, as applicable (“Notice of Disagreement”). If a Notice of Dispute is sent, the rules of Sections 5.3.4 and following sub-sections shall apply, and (a) the undisputed Price Adjustment portion already accepted by the Parties shall be settled in accordance with the applicable Price Adjustment Payment Forms; and (b) the outstanding and/or disputed amounts will be determined, according to the criteria, methodology and assumptions established in Exhibit B to this Agreement, by the Specialized Firm that shall be engaged by the Parties within a period of up to [**] ([**]) Business Days upon receipt of a Notice of Dispute.

5.3.4. The Specialized Firm must submit its final report, indicating the amount of the Confirmed Net Indebtedness, the Confirmed Working Capital and the Price Adjustment, within [**] ([**]) days from the date of its engagement (“Specialized Firm Report”). The Parties agree that the value of the disputed items to be reviewed by the Specialized Firm may not be greater than the higher or lower value contained in the Price Adjustment Notice and Notice of Dispute, as the case may be, and that the amount that exceeds or is less than such limits shall be disregarded by the Parties for the purposes of calculating the Price Adjustment. The Company shall make available to the Specialized Firm all books, records and accounting necessary for the determination of pending and/or disputed points.

5.3.4.1. The Parties agree that the costs of engagement of the Specialized Firm shall be borne by the Sellers and the Buyer, at the rate of fifty percent (50%) for the Sellers (together) and fifty percent (50%) for the Buyer,

regardless of the result presented by the Specialized Firm. For this purpose, the Buyer shall bear the full costs of such engagement, and the half owed by the Sellers, adjusted for inflation by the IPCA from the date of disbursement by the Buyer, shall be deducted directly from the Term Installment.

5.3.4.2. The Price Adjustment calculated and determined by the Specialized Firm and indicated in the Specialized Firm Report shall be final and binding to the Parties. If either Party disagrees with the result presented by the Specialized Firm, the dispute over the disputed amounts may be resolved through the dispute resolution mechanism established in Chapter 16 of this Agreement.

5.5. Price Adjustment by Amendment to the SOEDMAR Lease Agreement. If the SOEDMAR Lease Agreement is terminated for any reason, or its rent is reduced for any reason (“Amendment to the SOEDMAR Lease Agreement”), the Buyer shall pay the Sellers an adjustment in the price equivalent to the entire outstanding balance of the rent due in the SOEDMAR Lease Agreement signed on the Closing Date, if such termination or reduction in value had not occurred. The Buyer shall make the payment provided for in this Section 5.5 to the Sellers within [**] ([**]) Business Days from the date on which such Amendment to the SOEDMAR Lease Agreement is imposed or formalized.

11. INDEMNITY PROCEDURE

Third-Party Claim Indemnity Procedure. In case any Indemnified Party receives notice of any Claim filed by a third party (“Third Party Claim”) that the Indemnifying Party is or may be required to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice (“Third Party Claim Notice”), before the expiration of one third (1/3) of the period available for defense or within [**] ([**]) Business Days, whichever is greater, provided that inaction or delay of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party within the period set forth herein shall not release the Indemnifying Party from paying the respective Loss, unless such inaction or delay in providing the Third Party Claim Notice demonstrably deprives it from its right to defend itself in case of a Third-Party Claim.

11.1.1. Reply to the Notice. Upon receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall answer the Third Party Claim Notice before the expiration of two thirds (2/3) of the period to submit such defense, informing whether the Indemnifying Party:

(a) does not agree that the Third Party Claim shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, at which time the Parties may initiate the dispute settlement procedures provided for in Chapter 16 of this Agreement; or

(b) agrees that the Third Party Claim shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, at which time the Indemnifying Party shall inform its intention to (i) bear in full (or in part) the amount involved in the Third Party Claim; and/or (ii) submit defense to the Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be fully responsible for defining the defense strategy, as well as for engaging legal counsel of its choice to defend the Third Party Claim.

11.1.2. Defense of the Third Party Claim. In case the Indemnifying Party answers the Third Party Claim Notice stating its intention to submit the respective defense, the Indemnified Party shall grant powers of attorney to the counsel retained to defend such Third Party Claim, and also provide all information and documents that it has

had access to, as requested by the Indemnifying Party to help prepare such defense.

11.1.3. Continued Third Party Claim. In case any Third Party Claim is filed the subject-matter, motion or cause of action of which simultaneously encompasses a period before and after the Closing Date, such Third Party Claim shall be conducted by the Party that has the greatest financial exposure to the Claim, and the costs thereby shall be proportionally borne by the Parties.

11.1.4. Agreements. One Party may not enter into any agreement or transaction involving any Third Party Claim without the other Party’s prior, specific written consent, as applicable. Failure to approve an agreement or transaction by a Party may only occur for a reasonably justified reason and if such agreement involves, for either Party: (i) disbursement of an amount equal to or in excess of [**] Reais (R$[**]); (ii) acknowledgment of fault or admission of violation of the law; (iii) positive or negative covenants; as well as (iv) agreements or transactions that do not contemplate a broad, irrevocable discharge from the other party.

In case the Indemnifying Party identifies any opportunity to include any (potential or effective) Loss or Claim that is indemnifiable in tax amnesty, installment or remission tax programs, including, without limitation, regular payment in installments, REFIS, PAES and PAEX, and any other similar plan (“Tax Programs”), the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice, request authorization from Buyer for the Company to participate in such Tax Programs, provided that such authorization may not be unreasonably denied by Buyer. Except in the event that Buyer denies authorization to adhere to Tax Programs due to conflict with the defended legal theory and in the interest of the Company independently, in which case the limitation provided for in this Section 11.1.6 shall not apply, in case the aforementioned authorization is not granted, the liability of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party shall be limited to the Losses that shall/would be due by the Indemnifying Party in case there had been adherence to the Tax Programs relating to indemnifiable debts under this Agreement, and which shall be regarded as Losses for all purposes of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 10.10.

11.1.6.1. The Indemnified Party may not make any inclusion of any (potential or effective) Losses under this Agreement pursuant to a Tax Program without the prior written authorization of the Indemnifying Party responsible for such payments, under penalty that the Indemnifying Party shall be definitively released from any duty to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses.

11.2. Direct Claim Indemnification Procedures. In addition to the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify Losses arising from a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall also be responsible for the payment, indemnification, reimbursement and for holding the Indemnified Party harmless from any Losses that constitute Indemnity Events, but which are not the subject of a Third Party Claim (“Direct Claim”). In order to initiate a Direct Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice stating the Losses and the causing event, together with all related documents and materials (“Direct Claim Notice”).

11.2.2. Failure or delay to answer the Direct Claim Notice In case the Indemnifying Party fails to provide an answer to the Direct Claim Notice in accordance with the terms set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to agree with the Direct Claim, at which time the Parties may initiate the dispute settlement procedures provided for in Chapter 16 of this Agreement.

11.3. Loss Characterization. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Losses shall only be considered suffered, incurred or disbursed on the date on which the first of the following events occurs: (i) actual financial disbursement of such Loss by the Indemnified Party; or (ii) the maturity of the payment obligation or the obligation to perform or deliver, as determined by an arbitral award or administrative order or final and unappealable court decision regarding the Loss.
