7.4.                            Essentiality. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the term, scope and other provisions of Clause 7.2 and Clause 7.3 above have been specifically negotiated by the Parties on the basis of their commercial experience, and the Parties specifically agree herein that the above term, scope and other provisions are reasonable under the circumstances. The Parties further agree that the obligations set forth in Clause 7.2 and Clause 7.3 are core elements of this Agreement and, if Atílio did not agree to such obligations, the Original Shareholders and FIP Educacional would not have concluded this Agreement and BR Health would not have acquired the shares of Guardaya then held by Atílio. Furthermore, Atílio, the Company and FIP Educacional agree that the acquisition price of Guardaya’ shares acquired by BR Health from Atílio was calculated based on the assumption that it will compensate Atílio for the obligations assumed in Clause 7.2 and in Clause 7.3, and no additional payment shall be due to Atílio in this sense, for the period mentioned in Clause 7.2 above.
