AGREEMENT FOR GRANTING

For the purpose of determining the amount of the actif net referred to above, the assets of the Lux Guarantor will be valued at their market value rather than their book value, as determined by an investment bank of good repute or a Luxembourg independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé), to be appointed by the Local Agent in its absolute discretion at the cost of the Lux Guarantor and instructed by the Local Agent to act independently. The Lux Guarantor acknowledges that it is not entitled to challenge the appointment of and the valuation made by the investment bank of good repute or the Luxembourg independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé).

Intra-Group Liabilities” as referred to above shall mean any amounts owed by the Lux Guarantor to any other member of the group of companies to which it belongs (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts owed that are represented by hybrid instruments such as preferred equity certificates) and that have not been financed (directly or indirectly) by a borrowing under the Finance Documents.

The above guarantee limitation shall not apply to (i) any amounts borrowed by the Lux Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries under the Finance Documents and (ii) any amounts borrowed under the Finance Documents and on-lent, or otherwise made available, to the Lux Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (in any form whatsoever).

9.9.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Borrower is jointly or severally liable for any obligation of any other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

10.2.

Thereupon, instead of making any payment under or in respect of this Agreement affected by such Foreign Currency Constraint during the Relevant Period in a currency other than the lawful currency of Brazil (each such payment, a “Foreign Currency Payment”), Atento Brazil shall pay to the Lender an amount of the lawful currency of Brazil equivalent to such Foreign Currency Payment, where upon its obligations in respect of such Foreign Currency Payment shall be fully discharged. Such payment in the lawful currency of Brazil shall not be due until the second São Paulo Business Day following the date on which Lender’s notice and account information became effective and no interest or other amount will payable in respect thereof. The amount of the lawful currency of Brazil equivalent to each Foreign Currency Payment shall be calculated by the Lender.

The Obligors further irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection each may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding relating in any way to this agreement in any such court, and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and agree not to claim or plead the same.
