3.5

BRAZILIAN TAX CREDIT

(a)

If, following the Completion Date, the Brazilian Supreme Court rules in a final and non-appealable decision that the ICMS amount to be considered for the calculation of PIS and Cofins Taxes should not take into account (or should take into account only part of) deductions of ICMS input tax credits (the Triggering Event) and that, as a consequence, the PIS and Cofins Tax Credit shall be equal to the PIS and Cofins Gross Tax Credit (or to the remaining PIS and Cofins Tax Credit taking into account only part of deductions of ICMS input tax credits, depending on such decision of the Supreme Court), the Purchasers irrevocably commit to pay to the Vendors Representative, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as an additional consideration for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil Securities, the Brazilian Earn-Out Amount, provided and to the extent that the Brazilian Earn-Out Amount has not already been taken into account in the Purchase Price Adjustment.

(b)	In case the Triggering Event occurs, Vendors commit to pay to the Purchasers, as a decrease of the consideration for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil Securities the amount, if any, of the Actual CIT Excess.

(c)

If, following the Completion Date, the Brazilian Supreme Court rules with a decision considered as final and non-appealable and the PIS and Cofins Tax Credit included in Cash as finally determined on the Completion Date is more than the PIS and Cofins Tax Credit available as of the Completion Date as determined under such Court’s ruling, then the Vendors irrevocably commit to pay to the Purchasers, as an adjustment to the consideration for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil Securities, (i) such excess, increased by (ii) the PIS and Cofins Tax Credit used or applied by the Vendors prior to the Completion Date in excess of the amount of the PIS and Cofins Tax Credit available to be so applied as determined under the Brazilian Supreme Court’s ruling, within the time and under procedures as are set forth in Clause 3.5(f). If the Brazilian Supreme Court rules after the Completion Date but before the Securities Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Clause 3.3, this Clause 3.5(c) shall be applied in connection with the determination of the Purchase Price Adjustments under Clause 3.3.

(d)

In addition, if following the Completion Date the Brazil Supreme Court issues a final and non-appealable decision with respect to PIS and Cofins Tax Credits and, as a result, the amount of legal fees unpaid as of Completion and actually payable to the Brazilian Law Firms by ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil in connection with the PIS and Cofins Tax Credit matter differs from the amount reflected as a payable in Working Capital (line item: Other operating Liabilities set out in Clause 4 of Schedule 1(A)) as included in the Final Completion Statement, then, within five Business Days after ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil receives a final invoice from the Brazilian Law Firms on this matter following the publication date of such Brazil Supreme Court decision, the Purchasers irrevocably commit to pay to the Vendors Representative, as additional consideration for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil Securities, the amount by which the accrued payable included in Working Capital in the Final Completion Statement exceeds the actual amount payable to Brazilian Law Firms conversely the Vendors irrevocably commit to pay to the Purchaser of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil Securities, as a reduction of the consideration for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Brazil Securities, the amount by which the actual amount payable to the Brazilian Law Firms exceeds the accrued payable included in Working Capital in the Final Completion Statement, in each case, only to the extent

EXECUTION VERSION

any such difference has not already been taken into account in connection with the Purchase Price Adjustment under Clause 3.3.

(e)

The Purchasers hereby irrevocably commit to keep the Vendors regularly informed in a timely manner of the status of the proceedings with the Brazilian Supreme Court and of any material issues arising therefrom, and to notify the Vendors Representative of the occurrence of the Triggering Event within five Business Days following the publication date of the Brazilian Supreme Court’s final and non-appealable decision (the Date of the Triggering Event).
