4.5.1. Conduction of Third-Party Claim by Indemnifying Party.

In the event the Indemnifying Party does not agree, fully or partially, with the responsibility for any Losses in the context of any Third-party Claim, including the value of the Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party with respect to such disagreement within ten (10) Business Days as from the receipt of the notice submitted by the Indemnified Party, under the terms of Clauses 4.5, 4.5.3 or 4.5.3.1, however the case may be, and the Parties shall meet within the next subsequent fifteen (15) days to achieve an agreement in good faith involving the fact under discussion. The failure of the Parties to amicably agree the responsibility for the payment of any possible Loss shall be resolved under the terms set forth in Clause 9.11 and following clauses hereof; and the award determined by the Arbitral Court shall have the power to determine the final and indemnifiable Loss, under the terms set forth in this Agreement.

5.2.1.1. The rights and obligations under each Shared Agreement shall be allocated, by means of a written instrument between the Parties, in the relevant party to CBD or Sendas, or to the respective Subsidiaries indicated by CBD or Sendas, without prejudice to any amendment or addendum to the Shared Agreement itself during its term, so that each Party will be entitled to the rights and benefits, and will assume the respective portion of any Liability, inherent to its respective business; provided that:

(A)

in no event will any Party be required to assign (or amend) any Shared Agreement in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Agreement that is not assignable (or which cannot be changed) under its terms (including any terms that impose consents or conditions on an assignment, when such consents or conditions cannot be obtained or fulfilled); and

(B)

if any Shared Agreement cannot be partially assigned by its terms or cannot be changed, if such an assignment or amendment unduly damages or encumbers the benefit that the Parties derive from such Shared Agreement or if such Shared Agreement is listed or described in Appendix 5.2.1, then the Parties shall, and shall cause their subsidiaries, to take other reasonable and legally effective actions and measures (including sending notice to the other Party regarding any Claim or other relevant matters related to any Shared Agreement, in order to allow the other Party to exercise any applicable rights under the law and the relevant Shared Agreement) to ensure that CBD or Sendas, as the case may be, receives the rights and benefits of the Shared Agreement that relates to its respective business, as if such Shared Agreement had been assigned (or changed), and bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities, as if such Liabilities had been assumed if the expected assignment or amendment had occurred due to Business Separation.

5.2.1.2. The Parties shall comply, and the Transition Committee shall define and manage the action plan relating to the negotiation with third parties to separate each one of the Shared Agreements.

5.2.1.3. CBD and Sendas and the respective Subsidiaries thereof shall provide the same accounting and tax treatment to a Shared Agreement, in accordance with applicable Laws and regulations, in line with the treatment previously adopted by the Parties, and undertake not to report or take any tax position inconsistent with such treatment, except by legal imposition or change of interpretation of the applicable Law, which shall be immediately communicated to the other Party.

5.2.2. Mitigation of Adverse Effects. Each of the Parties undertakes to make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any and all adverse effects on the other Party, its Affiliates and/or their respective businesses, as a result of negotiations for the conclusion or renewal of agreements and arrangements with third parties within the scope of, or during, the Business Separation. Sendas undertakes to make commercially reasonable efforts, and CBD undertakes to cooperate with Sendas, to negotiate new agreements for Sendas, either with the counterparties of the Shared Agreements, or with other possible suppliers, if any, relating to services, products and/or benefits under any Shared Agreement, so that the Parties terminate, in the shortest possible period, the existing relationships between them under the Shared Agreements, as set forth in Clause 5.2.

5.2.3. Sharing Agreement. The material and human resources shared between the Parties, under the Private Instrument of Expenses Sharing Agreement, signed between the Parties, Via Varejo S.A. and CNova Comércio Eletrônico S.A. on December 15, 2016, as amended and in force (“Sharing Agreement”), shall be segregated and individualized within one (1) year, at most, as from the Effective Spin-off Date, and the Transition Committee may create a specific subcommittee to conduct the activities necessary for the termination, in the shortest possible period, of the relationship established between the Parties under said Sharing Agreement.

Until the completion of the segregation provided for in this Clause, Sendas shall reimburse CBD, and CBD shall reimburse Sendas, however the case may be, for any and all costs and expenses related to the shared activities, maintaining the sharing rules currently practiced by the Parties.

5.2.3.2. The Parties shall comply, and the Transition Committee shall define and manage the action plan, including estimated costs and work schedule, for separation of the activities in connection with the Sharing Agreement.

Sendas shall use its best efforts, and CBD commits to cooperate with Sendas, to carry out in the shortest possible period any database migration between the Parties, as well as the creation or adaptation of any computerized environment, systems or servers by Sendas, as set forth in Clause 5.2.

5.3. Release of Guarantees. The Party that has any of its obligations or liabilities, or the obligations and liabilities of its Affiliates (“Secured Party”), guaranteed in any way (whether financial guarantees or otherwise) by the other Party and/or by any of its respective Affiliates (a “Guarantor”), undertakes, with the reasonable cooperation of the Guarantor, to make commercially reasonable efforts to release, replace and/or in any way remove the Guarantor from the position of guarantor, warrantor, joint obligor, joint or several debtor (“Guarantee”) in relation to any Liability of the Secured Party, including the removal of any Burden on any Guarantor’s goods and/or assets that may serve as the Guarantee of any Liability of the Secured Party, within six (6) months as from the Effective Spin-off Date, as set forth in Clause 5.3.2.

5.3.1. To the extent necessary to release a Guarantee, CBD or Sendas, as a Secured Party and/or Controlling Company of the Secured Party, undertakes to enter into a guarantee covering the existing Guarantee, or otherwise acceptable to the Parties and creditors, whose agreement shall include the removal of any Guarantee provided by the Guarantor and/or any Burden on a Guarantor’s asset that may serve as a Guarantee for any Liability of the Secured Party, except and to the extent that such existing Guarantee contains representations, agreements or other terms or provisions with which CBD or Sendas, as the case may be, would be unable to comply or endure.

5.3.2. In the event CBD or Sendas, justifiably, is not able to obtain, or ensure the obtaining of any removal or release of the Guarantee, as set forth in Clauses 5.3 and 5.3.1, within the period defined in Clause 5.3, the Secured Party shall (i) monthly pay to the Guarantor, as from the sixth (6th) month after the Effective Spin-off Date, on the 15^th (fifteenth) Business Day of each falling due month (the first payment falling due on the eighth (8th) month after the Effective Spin-off Date relating to the immediately previous month), as compensation for the Guarantee, the amount equivalent to the lowest commercial proposal received from, at least, three (3) first class banks and/or insurance companies, applied on a monthly basis to the outstanding balance of the Guarantees not replaced or released (“Fee”) and, in the event the Guarantee remains in effect after eighteen (18) months as from the Effective Spin-off Date, the Fee shall be increased by twenty percent (20%); (ii) indemnify, defend and hold the Guarantor harmless against or from any Liability arising from or related to such Guarantee, and shall, as agent or subcontractor of the Guarantor, fully comply with all Guarantor’s obligations or other Liabilities under the respective Guarantee; and (iii) refrain from renewing or extending the term or scope of any Liabilities, of any nature, whether in the form of a loan, guarantee, lease, agreement or other obligation, for which Guarantor is or may be responsible, unless that Guarantor is finally and completely released from all its obligations as a result of and /or in connection with the respective Guarantee.

5.3.2.1. For purposes of determination and calculation of the Fee, (a) the Parties shall agree within ten (10) days as from the beginning of each month, the balance of the Guarantees, based on which the Fee payable shall be calculated, by comparing the values of the Guarantees of one Party in relation to the other, in the sense that the Party holding the highest value of the secured obligations shall pay the Fee to the other Party; (b) CBD shall be responsible for obtaining the quotations from three (3) first class banks and/or insurance companies, for a guarantee of one (1) year, taking into account the subject matter of the Guarantees (e.g., real estate guarantee) and the existing balance of the Guarantees; provided that the first quotations are obtained at the end of the period of six (6) months as from the Effective Spin-off Date, subject to renewal each twelve (12) months, based on the existing Guarantees at the end of the month before the obtaining of the quotations; (c) CBD shall submit to Sendas, within ten (10) Business Days as from the beginning of each month, the calculation statement of the Fee; and (d) CBD shall submit to Sendas and, however the case may be, copies of the quotations obtained.

5.3.3. In the event that Guarantor is required to make any payment and/or disbursement as a result of a Guarantee, or, if a Guarantee is executed, the Secured Party shall reimburse Guarantor for the Losses incurred in connection with the Guarantee provided by it, within 48 (forty-eight) hours from the receipt of notice sent by Guarantor to the Secured Party (and to CBD or Sendas, as Controlling Company of the Secured Party, pursuant to Clause 9.1 below), indicating the total amount of Losses, accompanied by proof of payment and the assignment or endorsement of the securities and rights to which Guarantor has been subrogated.

5.4. Insurance. CBD and Sendas shall jointly notify all insurance companies that have issued insurance policies whose coverage covers both Sendas and/or its assets, business and employees, and CBD and/or its other Affiliates and respective assets, business and employees, as listed in Appendix 5.4 (“Existing Insurance”), about the Business Separation, in order to provide insurance coverage in a market standard for Sendas and/or its assets, business and employees, including civil liability insurance for CBD officers who, as a result of the Business Separation, will take on management positions at Sendas, with coverage of events related to Business Separation (D&O runoff) (“Standard Market Insurance Package”). In the event the Existing Insurance is not extended or, for any reason, does not cover a Standard Market Insurance Package for Sendas, Sendas shall contract the necessary insurance so that, under any circumstance, the Standard Market Insurance Package is fully effective as from the Effective Spin-off Date to cover Sendas. CBD shall support Sendas with respect to the insurance coverage contracted by CBD and that are not applicable to Sendas; however, under no circumstance, CBD shall have any responsibility or obligation of any nature before Sendas in the event that any insurance policy is no longer contracted, loses effectiveness or is not paid, for any reason, after the Effective Spin-off Date; CBD’s cooperation for the renewal or extension of Existing Insurance does not represent any CBD’s commitment to ensure insurance coverage for Sendas, its assets, employees, managers, suppliers or business of any nature.

5.4.1. If Existing Insurance, or a portion of them, is extended to Sendas, each Party shall be responsible, on a proportional basis, for any costs and expenses relating to the Existing Insurance, including the extension premium.

5.4.2. Except to the extent that the Existing Insurance policies are extended or renewed according to Clause 5.4 above, as of the Effective Spin-off Date, Sendas will have no rights under CBD or its Affiliates insurance policies. In the event the Existing Insurance policies are extended, Sendas will appear as insured until the original policy term expires, and the new policies shall be contracted individually without any link between CBD and Sendas.

5.4.3. As of the Effective Spin-off Date, in relation to any Liabilities or Losses incurred by Sendas under the Existing Insurance, Sendas shall undertake the necessary measures for submission, and CBD shall cooperate with Sendas in this regard, of claims that could be covered by the Existing Insurance, in the sense that CBD shall transfer to Sendas eventual indemnities with respect to such claims within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the respective values; provided that such cooperation will be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits of coverage or scope, any deductibles, and other fees and expenses, and will be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)

Sendas shall indemnify, hold CDB harmless from and refund CBD for any deductibles, fees, costs and expenses incurred by CBD in connection with any claims made by CBD under Existing Insurance on behalf of Sendas, including any indemnification payments, agreements, judgments, legal fees and claim expenses; and

Sendas shall bear exclusively (and CBD will have no obligation to repay Sendas) and will be responsible for all uninsured, overdraft, unavailable or uncollectible amounts under the respective policies.

5.4.4. All payments and reimbursements by Sendas under this Clause 5.4 shall be made within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Sendas of a notice from CBD on this subject. If CBD incurs costs to enforce Sendas’ obligations contained herein, Sendas agrees to reimburse CBD for such execution costs, including attorney’s fees.

5.4.5. With respect to Existing Insurance, CBD will retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to settle, release, repurchase or otherwise resolve disputes regarding any of its insurance policies and programs and to change, modify or waive any right under such insurance policies and programs, regardless of whether such policies or programs apply to any Sendas’ Liabilities or claims that Sendas has made or could make in the future, except for the fact that CBD shall consult Sendas before the performance of any of these acts that could directly or indirectly impact Sendas. Each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and share such information, as reasonably deemed necessary, so that the other Party is able to manage and conduct the insurance issues.

5.4.6. Sendas expressly acknowledges and agrees that CBD will have no obligation or responsibility towards Sendas as a result of insurance policies and practices of CBD and its Affiliates in force at any moment, including as a result of any insurance coverage, the credit quality of any insurance company, the terms and conditions of any policy or the suitability or timing of any notice to any insurance company with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

5.5. Labor Matters.

5.5.1. Unions and Associations. Bearing in mind that the negotiation before employer and employee unions and associations of the Parties is currently carried out by CBD, the Parties shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to conduct individual negotiations before such unions and associations, as applicable, so that Sendas is able to conduct such negotiations on Sendas’ own behalf and independently from CBD within one (1) year, at most, as from the Effective Spin-off Date. Until Sendas is able to conduct such negotiations on Sendas’ own behalf and independently, the negotiations of the labor collection agreement shall be conducted by associates of both Parties, taking into consideration the maximum term of one (1) year as from the Effective Spin-off Date for separation, and the Transition Committee shall establish a specific subcommittee to conduct activities related to the segregation of the negotiation before employee unions, with the purpose of mitigating potential adverse effects resulting from this segregation for the Parties.

In any event, lease agreements that benefit both Parties shall be considered Shared Agreements, being applicable, mutatis mutandi, the provisions of Clause 5.2 above.

5.6.1.1 The real estate referred in Appendix 5.6.1.1, which will be subject to own contracts to be signed by the Parties, will be governed solely by the rules established in such contracts, not applying the provisions of this Agreement.

The real estate regularization (such as, registry of ownership and obtaining of licenses, authorizations and permits) and the implementation of eventually necessary refurbishments, including costs and expenses, in relation to the CBD’s Real Estates and Dom Xxxxx Real Estate, shall be under Sendas’ exclusive responsibility, except for the environmental Liabilities under CBD’s responsibility, as set forth in Clause 4.2(v). The Parties agree to undertake commercially reasonable efforts and contribute between each other to obtain any regularization, licensing and refurbishment in real estates, as reasonably requested, as set forth in this Clause.

5.6.4.1. The Parties agree that the eventual real estate regularization or refurbishment deemed necessary to the operation of the Parties and its Affiliates in the real estates identified in Appendix 5.6.4.1 shall be exclusively under the CBD’s responsibility, provided that, however (i) the costs and expenses relating to the areas used by Sendas shall be assumed by Sendas, except as set forth in the respective agreements that have been or shall be entered into between the Parties; and (ii) CBD shall present to Sendas three (3) budgets for the contracting of advisors and/or performance of works, previously to the respective contracting or performance; and Sendas shall be entitled to the right to select for contracting any of the budgets presented or, alternatively, present a fourth (4th) budget covering the same scope of services.

The Party responsible for conducting the Shared Claim will be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Shared Claim and will only be entitled to reimbursement from the other Party for the costs and expenses that are incurred during the Shared Claim course in proportion to the Losses or economic benefits, as the case may be, attributable to that other Party.

In the event that the refusal of the Use of Tax Supervenience arises from the exclusive fault of one of the Parties, this Party will be the sole and exclusive responsible for the payment of the debt and other charges resulting from such refusal, even though both Parties have benefited from the Use of the Tax Supervenience.

5.9.12.2. The Parties expressly agree that any Tax Active Superveniences relating to all Multi Retail activities, which triggering event is dated before the Multi Retail Business Spin-off Date (including), shall belong exclusively to CBD and, in the event of Use of the Tax Supervenience by Sendas in relation to such Tax Active Superveniences, Sendas shall fully transfer to CBD the respective economic benefit arising from such Use of the Tax Supervenience, in conformity with the provisions set forth in Clauses 5.9.12 and 5.9.12.1.

The delay or lack of fulfilling of the obligation of contracting guarantees, in accordance with this Clause, shall create an obligation for the defaulting Party to pay a penalty to the other Party in the equivalent of three (3) months rental which is due under the relevant lease or sublease agreement, whichever the case may be; the monthly rental will be based in the previous month rental, which shall be multiplied by the number of months delayed, having the non-defaulting Party the right to terminate the relevant lease or sublease agreement and/or be indemnified for all losses and damages which may have occurred due to the lack of fulfillment of such obligation.
