Section 6.3 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law jurisprudence.

Section 6.4 Arbitration.

(a) In General. Any dispute, controversy or claim (a “Dispute”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, enforcement, performance, legal interpretation or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration. The arbitration shall be instituted and held in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) (the “Rules”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 6.4. The administration and correct conduct of the arbitration proceedings shall be incumbent upon the ICC. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3), with one (1) arbitrator appointed by the claimant(s), one (1) arbitrator appointed by defendant(s) and the third arbitrator appointed by the first two.

(b) Procedural Matters. The legal place of arbitration shall be in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, where the arbitration award shall be rendered. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be Portuguese. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, each party shall (i) provide to the other parties, reasonably in advance of any hearing, copies of all documents which such party intends to present in such hearing, (ii) be allowed to conduct reasonable discovery through written document requests and depositions of any employees, senior officers or service providers of the other parties, the nature and extent of which discovery shall be determined by the arbitration tribunal taking into account the needs of the parties hereto and the purposes of arbitration to make discovery expeditious and cost effective, and (iii) be entitled to make an oral presentation to the arbitration tribunal.

(c) Consolidation. In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may, within ninety (90) days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving any of the parties hereto relating to this Agreement or the Share Purchase Agreement. The arbitrators shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless they determine that (i) there are issues of fact or Law common to the proceedings, so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party to such arbitration would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay, conflict of interest or otherwise. In the event of conflicting awards on the issue of consolidation by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder, the ruling of the tribunal constituted under this Agreement shall govern, and that tribunal shall decide all Disputes in the consolidated proceeding.

(d) Exceptional Court Jurisdiction. The parties are fully aware of all terms and effects of the arbitration clause set forth herein, and irrevocably agree that any Disputes shall be solely referred to arbitration. Without prejudice to validity of the arbitration clause, however, the parties hereby elect the courts in the Judicial District of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, as the exclusive forum for pursuing any enjoining or other conservatory measures of a preventive nature to secure the arbitration to be initiated or already in progress between the parties and/or to ensure the existence and enforceability of the arbitration proceedings.

(e) Award. The arbitral award shall be final and binding upon the parties, and not subject to any appeal, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall deal with — but not be limited to the question of liability for administrative costs of arbitration, arbitrators’ fees and all matters related thereto. The arbitrators may at their discretion award costs, including legal fees, to the prevailing and/or defeated party or parties. Decisions of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall set forth the reasons therefore, and, to the extent applicable, the manner in which the amount of the award was calculated. Any monetary award arising from the arbitration proceedings may include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach or other violation of this Agreement and from the date of the award, until paid in full, at a rate to be fixed by the arbitrators. The arbitral award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. For such purpose, each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the New York State courts and the federal courts sitting in the County of New York, State of New York and the courts in the Judicial District of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Each of the parties hereto waives irrevocably the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such enforcement proceeding.

Section 6.5 Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

Section 6.6 Pronouns. Whenever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or the neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter.

Section 6.7 Table of Contents and Captions Not Part of Agreement. The table of contents and captions contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit or extend the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

Section 6.8 Waiver, Amendment. No waiver, termination or discharge of this Agreement, or any of the terms or provisions hereof, shall be binding upon any party hereto unless confirmed in writing. No waiver by any party hereto of any term or provision of this Agreement or of any default hereunder shall affect such party’s rights thereafter to enforce such term or provision or to exercise any right or remedy in the event of any other default, whether or not similar. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing and executed by all parties hereto.

Section 6.9 Survival and Severability. All of the agreements, covenants, representations and warranties made by the UMA Members in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof. The UMA Members shall immediately notify IFH upon discovering that any of the representations or warranties made herein were false when made or has, as a result of changes in circumstances, become false. All of the agreements, covenants, representations and warranties made by IFH in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof. IFH shall immediately notify the UMA Members upon discovering that any of the representations or warranties made herein were false when made. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or in any respect, then the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to amend or substitute such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with enforceable and valid provisions which would produce as nearly as possible the rights and obligations previously intended by the parties hereto without renegotiation of any material terms and conditions stipulated herein.

Section 6.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 6.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other written agreements described herein between the parties hereto entered into as of the date hereof, constitute the entire agreement among them relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement or such other written agreements, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. No party hereto may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of all of the other parties.
