5.3.1. If the event provided for in item 5.3. above occurs before the full payment of the Price by Buyer, the following shall apply:

 
 

 
 
5.3.1.1.

5.3.1.4. If any reimbursement shall be made to Buyer according to items 5.3.1.1 and 5.3.1.2 above, Sellers agree to return to Buyer the Promissory Notes representing the installments not paid yet which shall be subject to discount, and Buyer shall, simultaneously with such return, issue new Promissory Notes to Sellers, in the same number and with the same characteristics of the Promissory Notes returned, discounting the amounts agreed under said items.

If Arapar Persons Responsible or São Teófilo Persons Responsible, as the case may be, elect to challenge the debt or obligation, they shall, at their own expenses, bear the costs related to their judicial and/or extrajudicial challenging, including all expenses and fees of attorneys and consultants. Arapar Persons Responsible or São Teófilo Persons Responsible, as the case may be, upon request, shall provide the guarantees necessary for the defense, so that Buyer shall not, at any time, make any disbursement or sustain any constraint to its assets or limitation of any nature to its business or operations. Buyer, in turn, shall grant power of attorney to the attorneys appointed by Arapar Persons Responsible or São Teófilo Persons Responsible, as the case may be, as well as cooperate with these attorneys to produce evidences as necessary for an efficient defense against the third party claim.

 
 

 
 
5.3.2.3. In the events provided for in 5.3.2.1 and 5.3.2.2 above, if Arapar Persons Responsible or São Teófilo Persons Responsible, as the case may be, as duly notified according to item 5.3 above, fail to directly pay the debt or indemnify Buyer against the amount due, omit, confess, or fails to take the measures necessary to challenge the notified debt, requirement or claim and to the defense of Buyer, and Buyer sustains any constraint on its assets or limitation of any nature to its business or operations as a result thereof, Buyer itself shall be entitled to pay the claimed debt and shall become creditor of Arapar Persons Responsible or São Teófilo Persons Responsible, as the case may be, in respect to said amount. A penalty of ten per cent (10%) shall accrue on the amount due by Arapar Persons Responsible or São Teófilo Persons Responsible, as the case may be, plus interests calculated on pro rata die basis at Selic Rate. This clear legal credit right shall be evidenced upon the submission of the receipt of payment of the payable debt, which, for all purposes and legal effects, shall operate as an extrajudicial execution instrument.

.
 
5.4.1 The procedures set forth in item 5.3 and following above shall apply mutatis mutandis and as applicable to Buyer, Sellers and Managers as regards the indemnity obligation under item 5.4 above. The Liability Period, in relation to Buyer, shall be equal to the statute of limitations of said obligation.
 
5.5. The Parties hereby agree that, in the event of death of one of Arapar Persons Responsible and/or one of Moreira Salles Persons Responsible and/or one of Almeida Braga Persons Responsible, the remaining Arapar Person Responsible and/or Moreira Salles Person Responsible and/or Almeida Braga Person Responsible, as the case may be, shall be the sole person responsible for the indemnity obligation established in items 5.1 and 5.2, as the case may be.

Exhibit 3.1.3(b)
 
As a condition for the negotiations in progress between the Company and the financial institutions for purposes of reviewing the transactions they carried out with derivatives, the financial institutions may require Arapar and São Teófilo to encumber the Company shares they own so as to guarantee the obligations undertaken or that may be undertaken by the Company.
 
Accordingly, Arapar and São Teófilo, as holders of the Company shares, may enter into an agreement reflecting the provisions above, and Buyers of Arapar and São Teófilo shares undertake the obligation to cause the companies now acquired to comply with the obligation to encumber the Company shares now directly held by Arapar and São Teófilo as a guarantee of the obligations undertaken by the Company before the financial institutions.
 
It should be worthy of note that the encumbrance, so as to be effective, shall be subject to the prior approval of Arainvest Participações S.A. (Arainvest), by operation of a shareholders agreement executed on February 5, 2003.

 
 

 
 
Buyer hereby undertakes to obtain the approval of Arainvest, indemnifying, defending and holding Sellers harmless against any complaint or questioning, be it from Arainvest of from the Company's creditor financial institutions.
 
Buyer acknowledges that the guarantee to be granted shall not modify or exempt it from the obligation to pay the price of sale of Sellers’ indirect interest in the Company that is the subject matter of the Agreement, as well as that its granting comprises the indemnification included in sections 3.2.5 e 5.4 of the Agreement entered into by the parties.
