Any and all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including as to the formation, existence, validity, enforceability, interpretation, performance, breach and/or termination of this Agreement, between the Parties, as well as successors to such Parties (“Dispute”), shall be referred to and finally resolved, exclusively, except in limited circumstances provided in Sections 8.07(g) and 8.07(h), by arbitration, administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), in accordance with its Rules of Arbitration in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (“Rules”), and, on a subsidiary basis, with Law 9.307/96, except as they may be modified by mutual agreement of the Parties or as otherwise modified in this Section 8.07.

(a)   The arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitral Tribunal”) composed of three arbitrators. One arbitrator shall be nominated by the claimant(s), and one arbitrator shall be nominated by the respondent(s). The party requesting arbitration shall nominate its arbitrator concurrently with such request and the other party  shall do so within fifteen calendar days from receipt of the request for arbitration.  In the event that for any reason a party fails to nominate an arbitrator or deliver notification of such nomination to the other party and to the ICC within this time period, upon request of the other party, such arbitrator shall instead be appointed by the ICC within fifteen calendar days of the ICC receiving such request in accordance with the ICC Rules.  The two arbitrators appointed in accordance with the above provisions shall nominate by mutual agreement the third arbitrator and notify the parties and the ICC in writing of such nomination within fifteen calendar days of their appointment.  If the first two appointed arbitrators fail to nominate a third arbitrator or notify the other party and the ICC of that nomination within this time period, then, upon request of the  relevant party, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC within fifteen calendar days of the ICC receiving such request in accordance with the Rules.  The third arbitrator shall serve as chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal.

(b)   The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, and the language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English, and all evidence that is produced in Portuguese must be translated into English. The governing law of this agreement to arbitrate shall be the law of the Federative Republic of Brazil.

(c)   Each arbitrator shall be (i) qualified to practice law in the Federative Republic of Brazil, (ii) fluent in the English language, (iii) independent of the Parties and (iv) a lawyer or retired judge with at least fifteen years’ experience practicing in Brazil in mergers and acquisitions (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, include a litigator with at least fifteen years’ experience practicing in Brazil handling mergers and acquisitions disputes).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no arbitrator shall be an employee, officer, director, consultant, contractor or other service provider of Parties or of their respective affiliates, nor shall any arbitrator have any interest that would be affected in any material respect by the outcome of the dispute.

(d)   The arbitration shall be conducted in an expedited manner. There shall be one round of pre-hearing submissions by each of the parties, submitted simultaneously, and one reply submission by each of the parties, submitted simultaneously.  The deadline set for first round pre-hearing submissions shall be set

18


by the Arbitral Tribunal, but in no event shall be more than 90 days from the date of submission of the matter to the Arbitral Tribunal.  The deadline set for reply submissions shall be set by the Arbitral Tribunal, but in no event shall be more than 45 days from the date first round pre-hearing submissions are due.  The arbitration hearing shall be held on the date set by the Arbitral Tribunal, but in no event shall the hearing date be more than 30 days from the date reply submissions are due.  There shall be no submissions, including any post-hearing submissions, considered by the Arbitral Tribunal other than the first round pre-hearing and reply submissions referred to above. The Arbitral Tribunal shall endeavor to render its Award within 60 days of the last day of the arbitration hearing. The Arbitral Tribunal shall have sole discretion as to the establishment of deadlines for any arbitration, provided, however, that the Arbitral Tribunal may not extend any deadline beyond those established above in this clause (d); provided, further, however, that failure of the Arbitral Tribunal to comply with any time period set out in this Section 8.07 shall not affect in any way the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal or the validity of its Award, including in connection with the timeframe for the Arbitral Tribunal to render its Award, which shall, in any case, be in accordance with the Rules. Any application for the correction, interpretation or completion of omission of the Award under the Rules and the Law n° 9.307/96 shall be filed within 10 calendar days from the date of notification of the Award. The Arbitral Tribunal may grant a maximum period of time of 5 calendar days to the other party to respond and the Arbitral Tribunal shall render its decision within 10 calendar days therefrom or from the date of receipt of the application if it decides not to grant a time limit for response.

(e)   Any request for production of documents or other information shall be subject to the express authorization of the Arbitral Tribunal, which shall endeavor to ensure that any such requests are as limited and disciplined as is consistent with the just resolution of the dispute, controversy or claim

(f)   Each of the Parties hereby agree that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to award equitable remedies, including specific performance, injunctive relief, declaratory judgements or other equitable relief, and is specifically empowered to order the Parties to take any and all actions contemplated or required by this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, to consummate the Nectarine Restructuring, the First Merger and the Second Merger (including, in connection therewith, the convening of board meetings and meetings of shareholders, the giving of notice of such meetings, the assistance for preparation, distribution, publication and presentation of materials for such meetings (including any required appraisal reports, financial statements, merger protocols and management proposals (and engaging and/or ratifying advisors, auditors, appraisers and other third parties in connection therewith)), the causing to be present as a director and the approving of, the Nectarine Restructuring, the First Merger, the Second Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the causing to be present and the voting of shares or capital stock of any entity held by the Founding Controlling Parent Shareholders at such meetings to approve the Nectarine Restructuring, the First Merger, the Second Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the

19


registration and publication of minutes of such meetings, the securing of waivers from Governmental Authorities in connection with such meetings, the execution and delivery of written consents, the taking of the actions set forth on the Illustrative Steps Plan and any other actions necessary or advisable to consummate Nectarine Restructuring, the First Merger and the Second Merger), in each case in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement. The decisions, judgments, awards, rulings or orders rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal acting by a majority (including for equitable relief, injunctive relief, specific performance or monetary damages) (each, an “Award”) shall be in writing and fully enforceable against, and final, nonappealable and binding on, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Each Award of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be unreviewable for error of law or fact or legal reasoning of any kind. Each of the Parties waive any form of appeal against any Award of the Arbitral Tribunal. The Parties undertake to carry out each Award of the Arbitral Tribunal without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse. Judgment upon any Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets and, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Parties agree that any court of competent jurisdiction in which enforcement of the Award is sought shall have power to enforce the relief awarded by the Arbitral Tribunal, regardless of whether such relief is characterized as legal, equitable or otherwise.

(g)   Before the commencement of the arbitration, the Parties may request provisional and/or urgent measures to the courts in accordance with Section 8.07(h) or to the Emergency Arbitrator (as defined in the Rules), in accordance with the Rules. After the commencement of arbitration, all provisional and/or urgent measures shall be requested directly to the Arbitral Tribunal, which may sustain, modify and/or revoke any measures previously granted by the courts in accordance with Section 8.07(h) or to the Emergency Arbitrator (as defined in the Rules), as the case may be.

(h)   Provisional and/or urgent measures prior to the commencement of the arbitration, as well as enforcement actions and actions to enforce the Award, or any other judicial measure available under Law 9.307/96, when applicable, may be requested, to the competent judicial courts of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Requesting any judicial measure available under Law 9.307/96 shall not be construed as a waiver of the rights under this clause or to arbitration as the sole dispute resolution mechanism.

(i)   In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes and to avoid inconsistent decisions in related disputes, upon request of any party to an arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8.07, any dispute, controversy or claim subsequently noticed for arbitration under the provisions of this

20


Section 8.07 may be consolidated with the earlier-commenced arbitration proceeding, as determined within the discretion of the arbitral tribunal appointed in the first-commenced arbitration proceeding.  The arbitral tribunal appointed in the first-commenced arbitration proceeding may consolidate such arbitrations if it determines that (i) the proceedings are compatible, and (ii) there is no unjustifiable harm caused to one of the parties to the consolidated arbitrations.  If the first-appointed arbitral tribunal determines that the arbitrations shall be consolidated, the first-appointed arbitral tribunal shall have jurisdiction over the consolidated arbitration to the exclusion of any other arbitrator or arbitral tribunal and any appointment of another arbitrator in relation to the other arbitrations will be deemed to be functus officio. Any such termination of an arbitrator’s appointment shall be without prejudice to: (i) the validity of any act done or order made by that arbitrator or by the ICC in support of that arbitration before the termination of his appointment; (ii) his entitlement to be paid his proper fees and disbursements; and (iii) the date when any claim or defense was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation bar or any similar rule or provision.

(j)   The expenses of the arbitral proceedings, including, but not limited, to the administrative costs of the ICC and arbitrators’ fees, when applicable, shall be borne by each party as per the Rules. Upon rendering the Award, the Arbitral Tribunal, in its discretion, may allocate among the parties to the arbitration all costs of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness expenses and other costs incurred by the parties.

(k)   In the event that one or more Parties requests provisional and/or urgent measures to the courts in accordance with Section 8.07(h), process in any suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court, including as provided for in Section 8.07(n). The Parties agree that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in accordance with Section 8.07(h) shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

(l)   The Parties agree that the arbitral proceedings shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed other than to the Arbitral Tribunal, the ICC, the Parties, their counsel, accountants and auditors, insurers and re-insurers, financial advisors, representatives and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding.  The confidentiality obligations shall not apply (i) if disclosure is required by Applicable Law, rule or regulation or (ii) as far as disclosure is necessary or appropriate to enforce the rights arising out of the award.

(m)   The agreement to arbitrate under this Section 8.07 shall be specifically enforceable. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the competent judicial courts of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, for the limited

21


purpose of enforcing this agreement to arbitrate, including any action to compel arbitration or to stay or enjoin any action or proceeding commenced or prosecuted in violation of this Section 8.07, and irrevocably waive any objection to venue for such a proceeding in such court (including but not limited to an objection based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens).  Each party’s agreement to this arbitration is voluntary.

(n)   Each Party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above in Section 8.01, including for proceedings regarding the recognition and enforcement of any award resulting from an arbitration brought pursuant to this Section 8.07 or any judgment, of any jurisdiction, resulting therefrom, and for enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 8.07.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 8.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 8.09.  Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.10.  Specific Performance. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all obligations undertaken or arising hereunder are subject to specific performance within the terms of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have duly executed and delivered, by their duly authorized legal representatives, in seven (7) counterparts of equal content and form, in the presence of the two (2) witnesses below, this Agreement on the date first written above.
