In the event that the Security Agent receives a Notice of Default, the Security Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lender. The Security Agent shall (subject to Clause 29.1 (Appointment, Powers and Immunities) and 29.7 (Failure to Act) hereof) only take such action with respect to any such Default as shall be expressly directed by the Lender, provided that, unless and until the Security Agent shall have received such directions, it may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lender except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Lender.

29.4		INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
29.5		Indemnification
		The Lender agrees to indemnify the Security Agent (to the extent not reimbursed, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under Article 16 (Costs and Expenses)), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Security Agent arising out of or by reason of any investigation in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that the Borrower is obligated to pay under Article 16 (Costs and Expenses) hereof, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that the Lender shall not be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Security Agent. The obligations of the Lender under this Clause 29.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of the Loans and the resignation or removal of the Security Agent.
29.6		Non-Reliance on Security Agent
		The Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Security Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Obligors and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Security Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents. The Security Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Obligors of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents or to inspect the properties or books of the Obligors. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lender, the Security Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Obligors that may come into the possession of the Security Agent or any of its Affiliates.
29.7		Failure to Act
		No provision of any Finance Document shall require the Security Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Security Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel of its choice and at the expense of the Borrower and will not incur any liability in acting in good faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel.

29.8		Resignation or Removal of the Security Agent
		Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Security Agent as provided below, the Security Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lender and the Borrower, and the Security Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Lender. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor Security Agent, which shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York or Brazil. If no successor Security Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Security Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lender’s removal of the retiring Security Agent, then the retiring Security Agent may, on behalf of the Lender, either (i) appoint a successor Security Agent, which shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York or Brazil or (ii) petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Security Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Security Agent hereunder by a successor Security Agent, such successor Security Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Security Agent, and the retiring Security Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided that any replacement shall be subject to the taking of appropriate steps to transfer the Collateral to the new Security Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no removal of the Security Agent shall be effective until all amounts then due and owing to the removed Security Agent shall be paid in full. After any retiring Security Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Security Agent, the provisions of this Article 29 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Security Agent.
