If the minimum period for the adaptation of the above mentioned policies is not met, with the prior notice given in the form and deadlines defined above, PDB will be obliged to practice the conditions of the policies prior to the update (thus honoring the respective commercialization during the period in question) until the seven (7) business days referred to above is elapsed, unless with the express agreement of AMAGGI in relation to the waiver of that notice.

CLAUSE 4. PAYMENT

4.1. The amount of the COMPENSATION to be received by XXXXXX, both the ORDINARY COMPENSATION for the SERVICES provided under this CONTRACT as well as the COMPENSATION FOR NON-EXCLUSIVE SALES, will be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Clause 2 above and will be paid by PDB to AMAGGI on a monthly basis. By the 10th (tenth) day of each month, AMAGGI will issue the measurement report of the PRODUCT volumes sold and paid for in the previous month (“MEASUREMENT REPORT”), observing the terms of Clause 4.2, and will forward the document to the PDB for approval. After the approval of the MEASUREMENT REPORT by PDB, AMAGGI will be authorized to issue the invoice for payment. PDB will pay each invoice submitted by XXXXXX in accordance with the terms of this CONTRACT by crediting the bank account that XXXXXX will provide on each billing document. The deposit slip will serve as proof of payment for the purposes of this CONTRACT.

4.2. For the purposes of calculating the SERVICES provided and the COMPENSATION due in each billing period, the PARTIES agree to observe the following procedures:

(a)

The MEASUREMENT REPORT will be prepared based on the PURCHASE ORDERS and the fiscal documents and records related to each sale. PDB is obligated to allow AMAGGI access to its books and accounting registers, in order to support the preparation of the statements and calculations established herein.

(b)

Once the MEASUREMENT REPORT is approved by PDB, AMAGGI shall issue in favor of PDB the fiscal documents related to the rendering of the SERVICES in that period. If the collection documents presented by AMAGGI are in good order (according to the accounting and fiscal laws and practices), the amount corresponding to the COMPENSATION due will be paid to AMAGGI within 30 (thirty) days from the date of presentation of the MEASUREMENT REPORT by XXXXXX.

(c)

If there is any disagreement between the PARTIES as to the amount of COMPENSATION due to AMAGGI in any period, then PDB shall make the payment of the uncontroversial amounts, in the terms and deadlines set forth in item “b” above, and the PARTIES, negotiating in good faith shall reach an agreement regarding the controversial amounts within seven (7) days from the presentation of the MEASUREMENT REPORT by XXXXXX. If they reach an agreement, the amounts due will be paid within 15 (fifteen) days from the date of the agreement.

(d)

On the other hand, after the period of seven (7) days has elapsed from the beginning of negotiations between the PARTIES without reaching an agreement in this regard, then the PARTIES shall, by mutual agreement, elect an accounting audit firm to prepare a report, whose result will be the amount corresponding to the COMPENSATION due, thus ending the controversy. The report from the independent accounting audit company must be presented within 45 (forty-five) days from the appointment of the independent expert and will replace the MEASUREMENT REPORT. If the PARTIES cannot reach an agreement of the independent accounting audit firm within 15 (fifteen) days from the end of the 7 (seven) day period set forth in item “c” above, the PARTIES may resort directly to the jurisdiction set forth in Clause 15.1. of this CONTRACT. The amount so calculated shall be paid by PDB to AMAGGI within 30 (thirty) days from the date of conclusion of the report referred to herein or within the period determined in a decision obtained in the form of Clause 15.1 of this CONTRACT, as the case may be. The costs of hiring an audit will be borne jointly by the PARTIES (50% for each of them).

4.3. The taxes on the SERVICES set forth in this CONTRACT shall be borne, in conformity with the supervening of the corresponding taxable event, by the PARTY that is defined as the responsible taxpayer, under the terms of the current and applicable legislation. If the creation of new taxes on the SERVICES occurs, as well as if there is any change in the rates currently in effect, the PARTIES should negotiate in good faith, seeking to promote any necessary adjustments to the COMPENSATION, in order to restore the economic and financial balance of the service relationship established herein. For the purposes of this Clause, the term “taxes” includes any taxes, taxes, contributions, fees, and any other taxes, under the terms of the applicable legislation.

4.4. Buyer Default: For purposes of clarity, the PARTIES agree that the payment of the respective COMPENSATION to AMAGGI under this CONTRACT is, in any event, conditioned upon PDB’s actual receipt of the portion of the consideration paid by the BUYER for the PRODUCT to which the compensation refers, and in case of partial payment of the price of the PRODUCT by the BUYER, XXXXXX’s COMPENSATION shall be calculated and paid based on the portion of the gross value actually paid by the BUYER to PDB.
