(b) Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Closing occurs.

(c) Event of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.5, then the Buyers shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay the Sellers (pro rata in accordance with the 2/3 – 1/3 breakdown of Section 2.1) a non-refundable fee equal to $US 2,000,000 (the “Buyers Termination Fee”); provided, however, that no termination fee shall be paid to Leite.

In furtherance of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) neither party nor its affiliates shall be entitled under any circumstances to the remedy of specific performance by any other party in those circumstances where a Buyers Termination Fee or a Sellers Termination Fee, as applicable, has been paid, and (ii) in no event, whether or not this Agreement shall have been terminated, shall the parties or their affiliates be entitled to equitable relief or damages (inclusive of the payment of the Buyers Termination Fee or Sellers Termination Fee, as and, if applicable) in excess of the amount of the Buyers Termination Fee or the Sellers Termination Fee, as applicable, for all losses and damages arising from or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Failure to Pay Fees and Expenses. Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither party would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if either party fails to pay promptly the amounts due as provided for in Section 10.7, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against such party, such party shall pay to the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Buyers Termination Fee or the Sellers Termination Fee, as applicable. Further, the performance of any of the obligations in this Section 10 related to the payment of a termination fee may be required through specific performance by the creditor of the obligation as set forth in articles 461, 486 and 632 through 645 of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code.
