contemplated hereunder. Likewise, the Buyer represents that it knows, has assessed and assumes, on the date hereof, all the risks arising out of ongoing and potential Claims involving the Company and/or any of other entities of the Economic Group
of the Company. Any and all direct or indirect consequence of the transaction hereunder over the activities and operations of the Company and/or any entity of the Economic Group of the Company shall be exclusively borne by the respective
entities, and the Buyer expressly waives and agrees to cause the Company and/or any other entity of the Economic Group of the Company to waive any potential right or Claim against the Sellers in any way related to the consents and/or
authorizations obtained from any third parties (including Governmental Authorities) in any way directly and/or indirectly related to or arising out of the transaction set forth in this Agreement.

any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, including directly or indirectly arising out of or related to contingencies and/or liabilities of the Company and/or any of the entities of the Economic Group of the Company, of any nature,
irrespective of the amount involved. Accordingly, no indemnification, payment, compensation or reimbursement obligation shall be due at any time, currently or in the future, by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates in relation to the Buyer, the
Company or any entity of the Economic Group of the Company, or in relation to the respective shareholders, members of management, advisors, employees or any related parties, as a result of loss or damage, disbursed or not, whether due to any
acts, events or omissions occurring prior to the date hereof, or due to increased liabilities or decreased assets, or otherwise, and that is directly or indirectly suffered by any person, as a result of the transaction hereby agreed, including
due to succession or joint and several or secondary liability, of any nature, including, but not limited to, commercial, civil, regulatory, tax, labor, social security, environmental, health and antitrust liability and/or any other liability.

entities of the Economic Group of the Company are currently facing economic and financial crisis and are subject to all types of disputes in relation to their activities and businesses, which is aggravated, including, by the economic crisis and
political instability currently faced by Brazil. Considering all that, the Buyer acknowledges that the Company and other entities of the Economic Group of the Company shall remain liable for all risks resulting from the ongoing Claims involving
the Company, other entities of the Economic Group of the Company, their respective activities and operations, as well as for all the risks resulting from potential Claims or contingencies involving the Company and other entities of the Economic
Group of the Company, their respective activities and operations, whether or not they are known or have been assessed on the date hereof. The Buyer agrees not to seek award of damages from the Sellers and/or their Affiliates regarding (i) any liability and/or Loss arising out of or related to the quality, completeness

4.4. Essential Conditions for the Transaction. The Buyer agrees that the provisions, particularly in Sections 3.1.5, 3.2.11, 4.2 and 4.3 above are essential elements for the transactions agreed upon in this Agreement, and, had the Parties not agreed with such obligations,
the Sellers would not have entered into this Agreement and none of the legal acts contemplated hereby would have been performed.
4.5. Indemnification Procedure. In case a Claim filed may create a potentially indemnifiable loss or damage pursuant to this Agreement, the respective Indemnified Party shall send a notice to the respective Indemnifying Party, informing about such Claim, attaching any and all documents or information related to the Claim that is reasonably required for assessment, by the Indemnifying Party, of the relevant loss or damage and the
alleged liability regarding the corresponding indemnification (“Notice of Claim”).
4.5.1. The Indemnifying Party, within 15 days
from receipt of the Notice of Claim or, in case of Claim filed by third parties, after 2/3 of the period set forth for defense of the relevant Claim has elapsed, pursuant to applicable Law, whichever is shorter, shall deliver a written notice to
the Indemnified Party, informing whether it agrees or not to be liable for
the indemnification sought.
4.5.2. In the event the Indemnifying Party agrees
with the content of the Notice of Claim, it shall indicate its intention to (i) pay the full amount of the relevant damage or loss, when effectively incurred by the Indemnified Party; and (ii) assume or not the defense of the relevant Claim filed by third parties, if applicable.
4.5.3. In the event the Indemnifying Party
declares that it (i) is not liable for the indemnification sought, (ii) does not agree with the amount of the loss or damage possibly included in the Notice of Claim, or (iii) has no intention of assuming the defense of the relevant Claim filed
by third parties, if applicable, the Indemnified Party has the option,

4.5.4. Any controversy between the Parties in relation to the obligation to indemnify shall be settled pursuant to Section 5.1.
4.6. Indemnifiable Losses. The Parties agree that the loss and damage shall only by deemed indemnifiable in the event that,

to take all legally and contractually available measures to cause the Company and/or other entities of the Economic Group of the Company to fully exclude, within the shortest term possible, the Sellers and their Affiliates that may be directly
and/or indirectly involved in any Claims in any way directly and/or indirectly regarding or related to the Company and/or any of other entities of the Economic Group of the Company, whether such Claim is based on events, acts or omissions
occurring before or after the date hereof, including causing the Company or the respective entity(ies) of the Economic Group of the Company to assume the position of defendant in the Claim, without any liability of any nature by the Sellers
and/or their Affiliates.

Company to take) any and all mitigating measures available pursuant to the Law and/or as previously agreed, in writing, between the Parties, as applicable, to mitigate any related loss and damage that in any way may impact the Company and other
entities of the Economic Group of the Company. In the event any Claim is initiated, the Buyer shall file (and cause its Affiliates, the Company and other entities of the Economic Group of the Company to file) all possible judicial and
administrative appeals and exhaust all opportunities to answer, always with the purpose of avoiding Loss for any and all Indemnified Parties. The Buyer, its Affiliates, the Company and/or other entities of the Economic Group of the Company shall not make any spontaneous confession pursuant to
Article 138 of Law No. 5.172, dated October 25, 1966, as amended, or acknowledge fault, without the express written consent of the Sellers.
4.9. Sole Remedy. The Parties acknowledge that the provisions hereunder shall be the sole remedy for any complaints regarding any and
all losses and damages related to this Agreement and/or any and all financial aspects of the transaction hereunder. Except as provided in this Article 4, the Parties have no other obligations to indemnify, defend, exempt, redress, reimburse or
