Interest Factor = (DI Factor x Spread Factor)

where:

DI Factor = Production of the DI Rates, of the First Payment Date, or the Debentures Conventional Interest Payment Date immediately preceding, inclusive, up to the calculation date, exclusive, calculated with 8 (eight) decimal places, with rounding, calculated as follows:

(ii) The product of the daily factors (1 + TDIk) is carried out, and for each accumulated daily factor, the result is truncated with 16 (sixteen) decimal places, applying the next daily factor, and so on until the last considered;

(iii) Once the factors are accumulated, the resulting factor “Factor Dl” is considered with 8 (eight) decimal places, with rounding; and

If the DI Rate ceases to be disclosed for a period longer than 30 (thirty) days, or if it is extinguished, or there is the legal impossibility of applying the DI Rate to calculate Conventional Interest, the Trustee shall, within a maximum period of up to 5 (five) business days from the end of the period of 30 (thirty) days mentioned above or the event of extinction or inapplicability, as the case may be, call a General Meeting of Debentureholders, in the manner and within the terms stipulated in article 124 of the Corporation Law and in this Debenture Indenture, as defined in Section 9 below, which will have as its purpose the resolution by the Debentureholders, in common agreement with the Issuer, of the new parameter of Conventional Interest, a parameter that shall preserve the real value and the same Conventional Interest rate levels. If there is no agreement on the new Conventional Interest parameter between the Issuer and the Debentureholders representing at least 2/3 (two thirds) of the Outstanding Debentures on the first or second call or in case of absence of a quorum for installing the second call, the Issuer shall acquire all of the Debentures, within a maximum period of 30 (thirty) calendar days from the closing date of the respective General Meeting of Debentureholders or the date on which the General Meeting of Debentureholders of the Debentures should have taken place, as applicable or in a longer period that may be defined by common agreement at said meeting, or even, on the Maturity Date, whichever occurs first, at its Unit Par Value or balance of the Unit Par Value, plus the Conventional Interest due up to the effective acquisition date, calculated pro rata temporis, from the First Payment Date of the Debentures. The Debentures acquired pursuant to this item will be canceled by the Issuer.

Such notice shall be immediately issued by the Trustee after the Issuer fails to pay any amount due in relation to the Debentures on the payment dates defined in this Indenture or upon the declaration of early maturity. Payment shall be made outside the scope of B3, free and net, without deduction of any taxes, fees, contributions of any nature, charges or withholdings, present or future, as well as any interest, fines or other tax liabilities, and the Sureties shall pay the additional amounts that are necessary for the Debentureholders to receive, after such deductions, payments or payments, an amount equivalent to the amount that would have been received if such deductions, payments or payments were not applicable.

3.11.3 The Suretyship will remain valid and fully effective, in case of additions, alterations and any other modifications of the conditions established in this Indenture, so that the obligations of the Sureties assumed herein will not be affected by acts or omissions that may exonerate them of its obligations or affect them, including, but not limited to, due to: (i) any extension of term or agreement between the Issuer and the Debentureholders; (ii) any novation or non-exercise of any right of the Debentureholders against the Issuer; and (iii) any limitation or incapacity of the Issuer, including its filing for out of court reorganization, judicial reorganization or bankruptcy.

Ex. 10.24-70


effects of such measure do not imply in violation of any provision relating to the provisions of this Section or interfere with any right of the Debentureholders and/or the Trustee in relation to the receipt of all amounts due to the Debentureholders under the terms of this Indenture; and (ii) if you receive any amount from the Company as a result of any amount you have honored under the terms of the Debentures and/or this Debenture Indenture before the full settlement of all amounts due to the Debentureholders and the Trustee under the terms of the Debentures and/or of this Debenture Indenture, transfer, within 1 (one) business day from the date of receipt, such amount to the Debentureholders, outside the scope of B3.

3.11.7 This Suretyship will remain valid in all its terms until the date of full compliance with the Secured Obligations.

3.11.8 The Sureties are allowed to pay any defaulted obligation by the Issuer, regardless of notice from the Trustee, including during any cure period established in this Debenture Indenture, in which case the default may be remedied by the Sureties.

3.11.9 It is hereby established and agreed that failure by the Trustee to comply with the terms for executing the Suretyship in favor of the Debentureholders will not give rise, under any circumstances, to the loss of any right or faculty provided for herein, and the Suretyship may be enforced and demanded through the Trustee, in or out of court, as many times as necessary until full settlement of the Secured Obligations, and the Trustee shall, therefore, immediately notify the Issuer and the Sureties.”

(...)

“4.3. Types
