|
| (e) | (i) Purchaser may only use the Foreign Company Power of Attorney or BoT Registration Power of Attorney for the registration of the Corporate Documents with the Board of Trade and the BoT Required Amendments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any amendments to the Corporate Documents shall be restricted to the fulfillment of the requirements of the Board of Trade and with no deviation to the step plan outlined in Schedule 7.4(b), (ii) Purchaser will not use the Foreign Company Power of Attorney or BoT Registration Power of Attorney within the ten (10) calendar day period following any requirements from the Board of Trade so that Seller may fulfill the requirements of Section 7.4(c)(iii), and (iii) after such ten (10) calendar day period, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing as promptly as practicable before using the BoT Registration Power of Attorney and Foreign Company Power of Attorney and shall send Seller drafts of any and all documents that Purchaser plans to execute using the Foreign Company Power of Attorney or BoT Registration Power of Attorney and shall consider in good faith Seller’s reasonable comments to such documents. Purchaser and the Target Companies shall allow Seller to sign any amendments to the Corporate Documents required to comply with the requirements from the Board of Trade. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall restrict Purchaser’s ability to file the Amended AoA or any further amendments thereto at any time from and after the Closing Date; provided that Purchaser may not take any actions which would restrict, impair or delay Seller from amending the Corporate Documents to comply with the requirements of the Board of Trade or otherwise restrict, impair or delay the registration of the Amended AoA with the Board of Trade. |
| (f) | In the event that Seller does not, for any reason register the Capitalization Corporate Act with the Board of Trade or make any BoT Required Amendments with respect thereto within the thirty (30)-day period set forth in the applicable Law to ensure that the effects of the Capitalization Corporate Act have retroactive effect to its execution date prior to the Closing, Purchaser, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Seller, may file a preemptive judicial lawsuit against the Brazilian Tax Authority to dispute the amount of Taxes due with respect to the Seller’s Capital Gain Amount arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Preemptive Lawsuit”). Purchaser shall control the Preemptive Lawsuit, including the selection of counsel and strategy, and will consider in good faith all reasonable comments made by Seller with respect thereto. Any and all Losses of the Company and Purchaser in connection with the Preemptive Lawsuit shall be indemnifiable Losses under Section 10.2(e) and Seller shall provide any and all guarantees, judicial deposits or similar amounts required by the Brazilian Tax Authority and/or the competent judicial branch in connection therewith. Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed of all material communications, permit Seller to participate in all meetings, teleconferences and proceedings with the Brazilian Tax Authority and/or the competent judges regarding the Preemptive Lawsuit and consider in good faith all reasonable comments made by Seller with respect thereto. Seller shall take all actions reasonably necessary to comply with all legal requirements in connection with the Preemptive Lawsuit and will have the right, but not the obligation to, join as a party to such proceeding. Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Preemptive Lawsuit and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, at its sole cost and expense. Purchaser shall not settle the Preemptive Lawsuit without Seller’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Preemptive Lawsuit shall not comprise any voluntary disclosure (“denúncia espontânea”) of tax debts and nothing in this Agreement could be construed in order to authorize Purchaser to make any voluntary disclosure (“denúncia espontânea”) of tax debts |

Transaction Expenses. Schedule 1.1(jjj) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto.
Notwithstanding anything in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that, to the extent that any of the change of control payments listed on Schedule 1.1(jjj) of the Purchase Agreement are to become due and payable
following the Closing upon satisfaction of post-Closing vesting conditions (the “Post-Closing Change of Control Payments”), the Post-Closing
Change of Control Payments (together with the employer portion of any related employment and payroll Taxes) shall also be considered Transaction Expenses in determining the Closing Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Purchase
Agreement and adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price (i.e., the Final Purchase Price) pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement. If any portion of the Post-Closing Change of Control Payments is no longer payable (or is
otherwise not paid) by the Target Companies (due to forfeiture or otherwise) after the Closing pursuant to the terms of the relevant retention agreement (any such amount, a “Forfeited Amount”), then Purchaser shall pay the relevant Forfeited Amount (together with the employer portion of any related employment and payroll Taxes) to Seller within ten (10)
Business Days following the date on which such Forfeited Amount is no longer payable (or is otherwise not paid) by the Target Companies (due to forfeiture or otherwise) pursuant to the terms of the relevant retention agreement; provided that Purchaser shall not be required to pay the relevant Forfeited Amount (together with the employer portion of any related
employment and payroll Taxes) to Seller unless such amount is in fact included as a Transaction Expense in the calculation of the Closing Purchase Price and any adjustments thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, such Post-Closing Change of
Control Payments shall not be indemnifiable by Seller under Section 10.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement and any Forfeited Amount payable by Purchaser to Seller shall be considered as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.
