The Parties elect the central court of the judicial district of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, at the exclusion of any other, however privileged it may be, for the exclusive purposes of obtaining urgent relief for protection or defense of rights prior to the installation of the arbitration panel (“Judiciary Branch”), without this being deemed as a waiver of arbitration. Any relief granted by the Judiciary Branch shall be promptly notified by the party having requested the same to the CAM-CCBC. The arbitration panel, once installed, may revise, uphold or overturn the reliefs granted by the Judiciary Branch.
7.11.6. The Parties undertake not to disclose (and not to allow the disclosure of) any Confidential Information, except as provided in Section 5.01. Any and all disputes relating to the confidentiality obligation shall be settled by the arbitration panel under a final and binding decision.

10 |
In any case, the consolidation shall not occur unless (a) the arbitration clauses are compatible among themselves; (b) the arbitration procedures to be consolidated (b.1) shall have the same purpose or the same cause of action; or (b.2) there shall be identity of parties and cause of action between the procedures and the purpose of one of them, because it is more comprehensive, covers the purposes of the others; (c) the consolidation under these circumstances shall not result in unjustified delays for the settlement of the Disputes. The decision of the CAM-CCBC or of the arbitration panel, as the case may be, to consolidate the procedures shall be final and binding, it being certain that the Parties expressly waive any right to appeal from such decision. The Parties agree that, after a decision has been made to consolidate the arbitration procedures, in case that will be necessary, they shall promptly dismiss any arbitration procedure that has been previously filed whose purpose has been consolidated into another arbitration procedure under the terms hereof.
7.11.8. The arbitration procedure expenses, including, without limitation, the administrative costs of the CAM-CCBC, and the arbitrators’ and experts’ fees, as applicable, shall be borne by each party as provided for in the Regulation or pursuant to a specific determination issued by the arbitration panel. Upon rendering the arbitration judgment, the arbitration panel shall award the reimbursement of such costs to the winning party(ies), as well as the burden of loss.
Section 7.12. Mutual Drafting. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
