If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator and/or two (2) arbitrators appointed by the Parties fail to appoint the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the date set forth for such action, the President of the Arbitration Center shall be responsible for appointing the third arbitrator in the manner set forth in its Regulation.

7.2.4 The Parties agree that the Party upon which the adverse decision is imposed shall pay the fees and expenses incurred with the arbitrators and the Arbitration Center, if otherwise not established in the arbitration decision. The Parties shall bear the costs and fees of their respective attorneys.

7.2.5 Each Party remains entitled to propose in the competent common judgment the legal measures aimed at obtaining precautionary approvals for protection or safeguarding of rights or as preparation prior to the establishment of the Arbitration Court, such action not to be construed as a waiver of arbitration. For the exercise of court protections, the Parties elect the jurisdiction of the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, judicial district of the capital, expressly waiving any other, as privileged as it may be. After the initiation of the Arbitration Court, such measures shall be directed to the Arbitration Court.

7.2.6 The decisions of the arbitration shall be final and binding, not requiring court approval nor admitting any appeal against the same, except for requests for correction and clarification before the Arbitration Court, pursuant to art. 30 of Law No. 9,307/96 and possible annulment action pursuant to art. 32 of Law No. 9,307/96. According to article 475-P of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code, the execution of the judgment shall take place in the judicial district it was processed (the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, pursuant to Section 7.2.2 above), the execution creditor being able to legally opt for the location where assets subject to expropriation are located or at the primary residence of the execution debtor. Each Party shall use its best efforts to ensure the expeditious and efficient completion of the arbitration procedures.

7.2.7 Regardless of the nature of the dispute to be settled through arbitration, all Parties shall participate in it, either as a party (when the dispute directly involves it as claimant or counterclaimant), or as an interested third party (when it may be, in any way, directly or indirectly affected by decisions to be made in the course or at the end of the procedure). Likewise, the award shall be final and binding on all Parties, regardless of eventual refusal by any Party to participate in the arbitration procedure, either as a party or an interested third party.

7.2.8 The arbitration shall be completed within the term of six (6) months, which may be extended upon justification by the Arbitration Court.

7.2.9 The arbitration shall be confidential.
