37
Execution Version
and/or settlement in respect of any such Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied.
12.6.1. The failure in making the Notice of the Indemnified Event according to the terms set forth herein shall not be considered a waiver of the Indemnified Party to the right to claim for indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in relation to the respective Loss and to the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify, nor it shall release, in any way, the Indemnifying Party from any obligation to indemnify.
12.7. Non-Third Party Claims. If at any time one Indemnified Party intends to obtain an indemnification for any of the reasons specified in Sections 12.1 or 12.2 above (“Non-Third Party Claims”), this Indemnified Party should send a previous notice, in writing, to the indemnifying Party, in the form of Chapter 15 below, containing the details regarding the nature of the demand and the amount involved (“Notice of Indemnification”).
12.8. Payment of the Indemnification. Any payment of indemnification for Losses resulting from an Indemnified Event (including, but not limited to, any reimbursement of expenses, costs or charges incurred or accrued for the preparation or maintenance of any demand), shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party within five (5) Business Days after: (i) an unappealable final sentence (sentença transitada em julgado) taken by the courts; (ii) issuance of definitive arbitration award; (iii) payment of judicial deposit (or similar act at administrative level) by the respective Indemnified Party; or (iv) payment for any settlement, release of obligation (judicial or extrajudicial) by the respective Indemnified Party.

38
Execution Version
12.8.4. The lack of payment of any indemnification due hereunder subjects the Indemnifying Party to, in addition to the amount of the indemnification monetarily adjusted pursuant to the variation of the IGP-M-FGV, a non-compensatory penalty corresponding to ten percent (10%) of the total amount due, plus interests of one per cent (1%), calculated pro rata diem from the date of the actual breach to the date of the actual payment.
12.8.5. Should any of the assets held by any Indemnified Party be seized by judicial or arbitration decision, the Indemnifying Party shall take all necessary actions to release such assets within five (5) days as of the publication of the decision. The failure to release the assets from the seizure subjects the Indemnifying Party to damages resulting therefrom.
12.8.6. In case the payment of the indemnification is due by the Seller to the Buyer prior to the Second Payment Date, such indemnification payment may be deducted from the Second Payment Date Amount.
12.8.7. If any indemnifications are due hereunder by Seller to the Company, the latter may offset the amount of such indemnification against Seller’s variable compensation set forth in clause 3.3 of the Services Agreement.
12.8.8. In case the amount of the indemnification to be paid by Seller to Buyers’ Indemnified Parties exceeds the Second Payment Date Amount and/or the amount of Seller’s compensation referred to under Section 12.8.7, the Seller shall be personally liable for the difference between the due indemnification and the Second Payment Date Amount and/or the amount of Seller’s compensation referred to under Section 12.8.7, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms and conditions established herein. In this case, the payment of the amount exceeding amounts that cannot be offset shall be performed within the term set forth in Section 12.8 above.
12.8.9. In case the unappealable final sentence referred to under Section 12.8 imposes upon the Company or the Buyer any obligation to perform (obrigação de fazer) or an abstention obligation (obrigação de não fazer), the indemnification due shall include the effective Losses incurred by the Company as a result of such final sentence, as well as loss of profits (lucros cessantes) stemming therefrom, as agreed in a settlement (acordo) between the Parties or pursuant to the dispute resolution mechanisms under this Agreement.

16.1. Governing law. This Agreement, its Exhibits and Schedules, as well as all other Transaction Documents, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Brazil.
16.2. Arbitration. The Parties hereby agree that any and all disputes arising out of, in connection with, or related to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents (or the breach thereof) and/or the Transaction, including any question regarding the existence, validity or termination of the Agreement and of the arbitration clause, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration to be instituted and held according to the Rules of the Câmara de Comércio Brasil - Canadá (respectively “Arbitration Rules” and “Chamber”). The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before the Chamber.
16.3. Choice of Arbitrators. The arbitration tribunal shall be composed of three (3) arbitrators. The claimant shall choose one arbitrator and the respondent (or, jointly, the respondents) shall choose another arbitrator. The Parties may nominate foreign arbitrators. The third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman of the arbitration panel, shall be jointly appointed by the Parties within fifteen (15) days after the other two arbitrators accepted their respective nominations. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement as to the nomination of the chairman, the arbitrators appointed by the Parties shall, jointly and by mutual agreement, choose the third arbitrator. If the arbitrators appointed by the Parties also fail to agree on the choice of the third arbitrator within the period established in the Arbitration Rules, such appointment shall be made by the Chamber, according to its Arbitration Rules.
16.4. Independence of the Arbitrators. The arbitrators shall be impartial and independent. If, at any stage during the arbitration, new circumstances arise that may give rise to doubts regarding independence, an arbitrator shall promptly disclose such circumstances to the Parties and to the Chamber. Upon receipt of such information from an arbitrator or a Party, the Chamber shall communicate it to the other Parties and to the tribunal.
16.5. Seat of Arbitration and Language. The arbitration proceedings shall be held in and the arbitral award shall be granted in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, but documents and evidence may be produced by the parties in either English or Portuguese.

Execution Version
16.7. Confidentiality of the Proceedings. The arbitration proceedings, as well as the documents and information submitted to arbitration, shall be subject to confidentiality.
16.8. Choice of Venue, Court Measures. The parties are fully aware of all terms and effects of this arbitration commitment and irrevocably agree that arbitration is the sole form of dispute resolution in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the proposed Transaction. Notwithstanding the full validity of the arbitration clause, the Parties elect the venue of the judicial district of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, and expressly waive any other venue, when and if necessary for the exclusive purpose of (i) ensuring the commencement of arbitration; (ii) obtaining orders for injunctive and interim relief (emergency measures – medidas provisionais ou cautelares) of a preventive, temporary, or permanent nature; (iii) for proceeding related to the specific performance (execução específica) provided for in this Agreement; (iv) for the enforcement (execução) of penalties provided in this Agreement; (v) in any cases in which an Indemnified Party may also include any Indemnifying Party as an intervening party in any Third-Part Claim, according to the proceedings provided by law (e.g. denunciação da lide); and (vi) to enforce the arbitral award.
