| 6. | INDEMNIFICATION |
6.1. Sellers’ Indemnification Obligation. The Sellers, hereby and to the fullest extent permitted by law, irrevocably and unconditionally undertake, jointly and severally (subject to Clause 11.16), to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, its respective Affiliates (which includes the Companies after Closing) and their respective directors, officers, employees, Collaborators, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties of the Buyer”), as applicable, for all Losses suffered or actually incurred, resulting from and/or arising out of, and/or related to:
(i) any omission, misrepresentation, error, inaccuracy, or breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Sellers (on their behalf and on behalf of the Companies) in this Agreement;
(ii) the partial or total non-compliance with, or breach of any commitment or obligation assumed by the Sellers or the Companies in this Agreement.
(iii) any liabilities, obligations, or contingencies of the Sellers and/or the Companies, any of their Affiliates, and/or any of their counterparties in any agreement (verbal or written) or their respective successors, in any capacity, in relation to any contractual obligation or Law or Decision, which, for any reason, including, without limitation, for alleged liability due to the existence of an economic group, succession of any nature, and/or disregard of legal personality, may be required of any of the Indemnifiable Parties, for any reason and at any time, regardless of the date of occurrence of the triggering event;
(iv) eviction or any other defect or flaw that may affect the existence, validity, or effectiveness of the legal acts through which the Buyer acquires the Equity Interests, or prevent or hinder the Buyer’s use, possession, utilization, and free disposal of the Equity Interests or, indirectly, of the Companies’ assets;
(v) any existing or past acts, facts, events, actions, or omissions, of which had their cause occurring prior to the Closing Date (inclusive), including but not limited to civil, tax, social security, labor, consumer, regulatory, intellectual property, real estate, or any other nature, regardless of (a) whether their effects only materialize in the future (after the Closing Date); (b) whether or not they are known to the Sellers and/or the Companies; and (c) whether or not they are described in this Agreement or its Annexes;
(vi) any issues related to the exercise of the Call Option and/or Transaction, provided that they are due to acts or omissions of the Sellers and/or Companies; and
(vii) The Indemnified Parties’ indemnification rights shall not be limited in any way due to: (i) an audit conducted by the Buyer on the Companies and/or the Sellers; or (ii) the Buyer’s knowledge, in whole or in part, at any time, including prior to the signing of this Agreement, of any fact, act, or omission.
6.2. Buyer’s Indemnification Obligation. The Buyer, hereby and to the fullest extent permitted by law, irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties of the Seller,” and, together with the Indemnifiable Parties of the Buyer, indistinctly, the “Indemnifiable Parties”), as the case may be, for all Losses suffered or actually incurred, resulting from and/or arising out of, and/or related to:
(i) any omission, misrepresentation, error, inaccuracy, or breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Buyer in this Agreement;
23
(ii) the partial or total non-compliance with or breach of any commitment or obligation assumed by the Buyer in this Agreement; and
(iii) any acts, facts, events, actions, or omissions existing or occurring before or after the Closing, related to the Buyer and/or its Affiliates.
6.3. Limitation of Indemnification. The Parties’ obligation to hold harmless and indemnify any Indemnified Party shall be valid (i) without time limitation for acts or omissions committed with intent, fraud, bad faith, or that constitute crimes; and (ii) for the respective limitation period for other Losses of any other nature. If, by the end of the applicable prescription period for a particular Loss that may result in the obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party, a claim for indemnification is duly filed by the respective Indemnified Party within said period, the obligation to indemnify specifically related to such Claim shall remain valid until the final, unappealable, and unalterable decision on the claim in question.
6.4. Pro Rata Temporis OBLIGATION. In the event of any Loss occurring in a period beginning before the Closing Date (inclusive) and continuing after that date, the compensation due (Loss) shall be proportional to the period ending on the Closing Date (inclusive), whenever it is not possible to calculate the amounts corresponding to each period, unless the Sellers, as a result of their continued employment after the Closing Date as managers or employees of the Company, the Buyer and/or its Affiliates, (i) have knowingly and intentionally acted or omitted to act in order to maintain such practice; and/or (ii) knowingly and intentionally failed to comply with any guideline or order from the Buyer’s representatives and the Company’s administrators and attorneys appointed by the Buyer, aimed at ending such practice. In such cases, the obligation to indemnify shall be the sole responsibility of the Indemnifying Parties.
6.5. Any and all payments made to an Indemnified Party under the terms of this Agreement shall be made with the deduction and/or withholding of Taxes owed by such Indemnified Party, as applicable. If the Parties are prevented by law or otherwise from making the payment of any indemnity, reimbursement, and/or other amounts without the deduction and/or withholding of any applicable Taxes, the amount to be paid by the Sellers to an Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall be increased by the amount of such Tax and other necessary amounts, so that the Indemnified Party receives the amount due from the Sellers without the withholding and/or deduction of applicable Taxes.
6.6. Indemnification Procedure. Should any of the Indemnified Parties incur a Loss due to the provisions of Clauses 6.1 and 7.26.1 above, the party entitled to receive compensation shall notify the party responsible for such compensation (“Indemnifying Party”) of the Loss in question, the basis for such claim (indicating the act, event, or matter from which such Loss arises or originated), as well as, to the extent known, the respective amount (“Notice of Loss”). Failure to send a Notice of Loss shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnified Party files the corresponding defense within the legal deadline.
6.7. Upon receipt of a Notice of Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall, (i) within 15 (fifteen) Business Days from receipt of the Notice of Loss, if there is no legal deadline for filing a defense or response, or (ii) within 1/3 (one third) of the legal deadline for filing a defense or response, if such deadline exists or is in progress: (a) accept its liability for such Loss; or (b) not recognize the Loss mentioned in the Notice of Loss as indemnifiable, in which case (1) the Indemnifying Party shall send a notice to the Indemnified Party issuing the Notice of Loss (such notice, the “Response Notice”), which shall contain detailed grounds for the Indemnifying Party’s refusal to bear the Loss indicated in the Notice of Loss; and (2) the Parties involved shall comply with the provisions of Clauses 6.8 to 6.10 below. Any fact, event, or matter that is the subject of the Notice of Loss and is not refuted in the Response Notice shall be irrevocably acknowledged as true and correct by the Indemnifying Party.
24
6.8. If the Indemnifying Party does not send any response to the Indemnified Party issuing the Notice of Loss by the end of the period provided for in Clause 6.7, the absence of a response from the Indemnifying Party’s shall be considered, for all purposes, as acknowledgment of its liability for the Loss indicated in the Notice of Loss, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay such Loss within the period provided for in Clause 6.9 below, with the Indemnifying Party automatically being in default if such payment is not made. If the Indemnifying Party responds indicating that it does not agree with the claim made by the Indemnified Party, the matter shall be submitted to judicial discussion under the terms provided for in Clause 12 below.
6.9. Any payment of compensation for Losses owed by the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Party under the terms of this Clause shall be made by the Indemnifying Party within a maximum of 10 (ten) Business Days after the end of the period provided for in Clause 6.7 above.
6.10. The Parties agree that the rules set forth in this Clause 6 do not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to seek specific performance of any obligations assumed in this Agreement and not fulfilled by the Indemnifying Party, under the terms of applicable law.

(i) prior written consent has been obtained from the other Party for the disclosure of such Confidential Information;
28

(iv) the Confidential Information has become or will become, prior to its disclosure by either Party, generally available to the public, provided that this is not the result of a breach of the confidentiality obligation hereby established, by virtue of an act or omission by either Party; and/or

10.2. Announcements.

10.3. Disclosure by the Buyer. In order to comply with the Buyer’s disclosure requirements, the Sellers and the Companies authorize, at any time from this date, the publication, in the communication channels of the Buyer and/or its Affiliates, of information about the entry of this Agreement and the Transaction, as applicable, arising from any law or regulatory or self-regulatory rule of the financial and capital markets, including, without limitation, for the disclosure and publication of market announcements, material facts, and quarterly reports disclosed by the Buyer to its shareholders and/or Related Parties. The Sellers hereby expressly agree that the Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates may, at any time and at its sole and exclusive discretion, disclose all information contained in this Agreement in any media to its investors, including but not limited to the disclosure of its results, reference forms, financial statements, reports, and/or presentations to investors, if necessary and arising from an IPO and listing in the United States of America.
10.4. Non-Compete. The Sellers and Key Persons shall refrain from, directly or indirectly, including through a Related Party, Affiliate or any intermediary Person and/or third parties, engaging in any act that may represent competition with the Competing Activities throughout the national territory, in view of the widespread operations and high capillarity of the Parties involved in the transaction “Non-Compete Obligation,” respectively).

(iv) invest, participate, make loans, hold equity interests (or contracts or securities convertible into equity interests), or hold any economic and/or political interest in any Person that, in any form, exercises, in whole or in part, Competing Activities, except if carried out on a stock exchange or through investment funds, via passive and minority investment in products offered by the market, provided that such investment does not represent, directly or indirectly, more than 10% (ten percent) of the voting capital stock of the invested Person nor guarantee the power to elect any administrator or representative.
10.4.2. The maintenance by the Sellers or Key Persons of the investments they currently hold in the companies listed in Annex 10.4.2 does not constitute a breach of the Non-Compete Obligation, provided that, as of this date, they may not increase their respective holdings or perform any of the acts listed in clause 10.4.1, which, if performed, will constitute a breach of the Non-Compete Obligation. Nothing in this Clause shall be interpreted as an exception to the exclusive dedication required of Key Persons to the Companies.
10.5. The Non-Compete Obligation established in Clause 10.4 shall remain in force for a period of 5 (five) years from the Closing Date of this Agreement, notwithstanding the non-compete obligations arising from the Service Agreements – Kovr Managers, applicable in addition to those set forth herein, in view of the difference in their nature.
10.6. Breach of the Non-Compete Obligation. In the event of a breach of the Non-Compete Obligation, the Sellers jointly undertake to pay the Buyer a non-compensatory fine in the amount corresponding to 100% (one hundred percent) of the Purchase Price, without prejudice to: (i) additional compensation for any Losses suffered by the Buyer, duly proven, in the amount exceeding the value of the fine; and (ii) the Buyer seeking all measures it deems appropriate to specifically enforce the violated obligation and prevent the non-compliance from continuing.
10.7. Non-Solicitation. Unless previously and expressly agreed in writing by the Buyer, the Sellers undertake, directly or indirectly, including through an Affiliated Related Party or any intermediary Person, for their own benefit or for the benefit of Third Parties, to refrain, throughout the national territory, from (i) contacting, persuading, or encouraging employees, collaborators, administrators, partners, distributors, or commercial representatives to leave their employment or work, or to terminate their service or supply contract with the Companies; and/or (ii) hire or offer employment to any employees, collaborators, commercial representatives, administrators, managers, or agents of the Companies who have terminated their relationship with the Companies for a period of 3 (three) years from the date of termination of their respective relationship (subject to the maximum term of the Non-Solicitation Obligation, provided for in Clause 10.8); (iii) request, divert, or agree to perform Competing Activity for any customer of the Companies; and (iv) make any statement or assertion that denigrates the image of the Companies, the Buyer and/or its Affiliates, or take any action to discourage any customer, supplier, service provider, or business partner of the Companies and/or the Buyer from maintaining their relationship with the Companies and/or the Buyer (“Non-Solicitation Obligation”).
10.8. The Non-Solicitation Obligation set forth in Clause 10.7 shall remain in effect for a period of 5 (five) years from the Closing Date.
30

10.10.

10.11. Negotiation and Context. The Parties and the Companies acknowledge and agree that the term, scope, and other provisions of Clauses 10.4 to 10.10 have been negotiated, are reasonable, and are in accordance with the circumstances of the Transaction.

The Parties and the Companies acknowledge and agree that, however, the Non-Compete Obligation and the Non-Solicitation Obligation in Clauses 10.4 to 10.10 to the Key Person in relation to whom an Early Maturity of the Acquisition Price occurs, it being understood that in relation to the other Key Persons, the aforementioned obligations will remain fully valid and effective.
