Ladies and Gentlemen:
Atento Luxco 1 S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under number B 170329, having its registered office at 0 xxx Xxx Xxxxxx, X-0000 Xxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this agreement (the “Agreement”), to issue and sell to the Purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchasers”) an additional U.S.$100,000,000 principal amount of 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 of the Company (the “Securities”), which are guaranteed on a senior basis (the “Guarantees”) by the guarantors set forth on Schedule IV hereto (the “Guarantors”). The Securities will be additional securities issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of August 10, 2017, as amended and supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of September 5, 2017, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Wilmington Trust (London) Ltd, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and an officers’ certificate to be dated April 4, 2019 (the “Additional Securities Officer’s Certificate”).
The Securities will be additional securities issued pursuant to the Indenture, pursuant to which the Company initially issued and sold U.S.$400,000,000 aggregate amount of 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Existing Securities”), and to the Additional Securities Officer’s Certificate. The Securities will have identical terms and conditions as the Existing Securities, other than the issue date and issue price, and will be consolidated and form a single series with, and vote together as a single class with, the Existing Securities. The Securities and the Existing Securities will share the same ISIN and CUSIP numbers and be fungible, except that the Securities offered and sold in offshore transactions under Regulation S shall be issued and maintained under temporary ISIN and CUSIP numbers during a 40-day distribution compliance period commencing on the Time of Delivery (as defined herein).
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering of the Securities to repay all of the aggregate principal amounts outstanding of existing debentures due 2023 of Atento Brasil S.A. (the “Brazilian Guarantor”), and a part of the outstanding amount of the BNDES Credit Facilities, as well as to pay for related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes (the “Use of Proceeds”). On August 10, 2017, the Company entered into a Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility by and among the Company and BBVA Bancomer, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero BBVA Bancomer as administrative agent for the MXN/USD tranche, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. as administrative agent for the Euro tranche, and BBVA Bancomer, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero BBVA Bancomer, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Bank USA and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc. as arrangers and lenders (the “Super Senior Revolving Credit Agreement”).
The Guarantees are secured, on a first priority lien basis, by security interests in (i) the shares or other equity interests of capital stock of each of the Guarantors and Atento Argentina S.A. and the shares of capital stock of the Company held by Atalaya Luxco Midco S.à x.x. (“MidCo”) and (ii) certain bank accounts in Mexico and Spain (collectively, the “Collateral”) which also secure the Super Senior Revolving Credit Agreement on a super senior basis in the manner set forth in the Pricing Circular and the Offering Circular (each defined herein), which are pledged by MidCo and the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company that own such capital stock and bank accounts, as applicable, pursuant to pledge agreements, as amended from time to time (each a “Pledge Agreement”), between the Company, such subsidiaries of the Company and the Collateral Agent. The rights of the holders of the Securities with respect to the Collateral are further governed by the intercreditor agreement, dated as of August 10, 2017, by and among (among others from time to time) the Company, the Collateral Agent, the agents for the lenders under the Super Senior Revolving Credit Agreement and the counterparty to certain hedging obligations related to the Securities (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).

(iii) any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Representatives is listed on Schedule ll(a) hereto.
13

(ii) | No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any federal, state or foreign governmental or regulatory authority that would, as of the Time of Delivery, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or the issuance of the Guarantees; and no injunction or order of any federal, state or foreign court shall have been issued that would, as of the Time of Delivery, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or the issuance of the Guarantees. |

(k) | The Securities shall have been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of and duly authenticated by the Trustee; |

9. (a) | The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have. |
(b) | Each Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or the Guarantors may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, |
16
the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and the Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. For purposes of this Agreement, paragraphs 8 and 10 of the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Circular (or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document) constitute the only written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasers through the Representatives expressly for use in any such documents. |
(c) | Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under subsection (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in subsection (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including one local counsel per applicable jurisdiction) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including one local counsel per applicable jurisdiction) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. |
17
(d) | If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. |
The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers, in each case as set forth in the Offering Circular. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(e) | The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act and any broker dealer affiliate of a Purchaser; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act. |
10. (a) | If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the |
18
Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Offering Circular, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments to the Offering Circular which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.
(b) | If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default. |
(c) | If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Purchasers as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default. |
11. | The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors and the several Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any Purchaser, the Company, or the Guarantors, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company or the Guarantors, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. |
12. | If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers through you for all expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel (including foreign counsel), reasonably incurred by the Purchasers in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof. |
19
13. | In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Purchasers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Purchaser made or given by you by the Representatives on behalf of you as the Representatives. |
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to you as the representatives in care of: Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co.

In that event, the Company and the Guarantors shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made, except to the extent that such taxes, duties or charges (i) were imposed by reason of any present or former connection between a Purchaser and Luxembourg, otherwise than solely from the execution of this Agreement or the receipt of payments hereunder or thereunder; and (ii) would not |
21
have been imposed but for the failure of such Purchaser to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning nationality, residence, identity or connection with Luxembourg of such Purchaser if such compliance is required or imposed by law as a precondition to an exemption from, or reduction in, such tax, duty or charge. The Company and the Guarantors further agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser against any documentary, stamp, financial transaction or similar issuance or recordation tax, including any interest and penalties, on the issue and sale of the Securities and on the execution and delivery of this Agreement. |
23. (a) | In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. |
(b) | In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. |
