Section 6.05.  Vacancies on the Executive Board whilst ROSM is Chairperson.  (a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.05 and to Section 6.06, if ROSM is Chairperson and any individual serving as CEO shall leave the employ of the Downstream Co or is otherwise no longer serving in that capacity (whether due to replacement, expiration of term or otherwise), then:

(i)            the Supervisory Board shall discuss and define the profile(s) they consider desirable in a CEO;

(ii)            each Shareholder shall propose two candidates to become the CEO, taking into account such profile(s), which persons may be vetoed by the other Shareholder (but solely for reasons related to such person’s qualifications, experience, track record, personal profile, past compliance with the General Business Principles of the Joint Venture, and such person’s ability to represent the interests of the Joint Venture above those of either Shareholder);

(iii)            if the candidates proposed by a Shareholder are vetoed pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, such Shareholder may propose additional candidates until both Shareholders have agreed on at least two mutually agreeable candidates;

(iv)            the Chairperson shall nominate one of the proposed candidates for approval by the Supervisory Board, and the Shareholders shall procure that their respective appointees to the Supervisory Board shall vote to approve the appointment of the individual nominated by the Chairperson; and

(v)            the individual nominated by the Chairperson shall serve as CEO for a term of two years (subject to re-election) in accordance with Section 6.01.

The Interim CEO shall serve for a maximum of 90 days, at which time, if no replacement CEO has been elected, a new Interim CEO shall be selected using the same procedures described above in this Section 6.05(b).  No member of the Executive Board shall serve twice as Interim CEO before every other member of the Executive Board has served once.

(c)            Subject to Section 6.06, if any individual serving: (i) as a member of the Executive Board (other than CEO); or (ii) in any other position of the Joint Venture who reports directly to the CEO (each such individual, a “Direct Report”), shall leave the employ of the Downstream Co or is otherwise no longer serving in that capacity (whether due to replacement, expiration of term or otherwise), then the CEO shall submit to the Supervisory Board a nominee, who in the case of the CFO, the COO (Sugar and Ethanol) or the COO (Downstream) shall be selected from among two individuals submitted by: (A) in the case of the CFO, the Shareholder other than the Shareholder who submitted the nominee who was appointed the CEO; (B) in the case of the COO (Sugar and Ethanol), Cosan; and (C) in the case of the COO (Downstream), Shell.  Approval of such nominee shall require an affirmative vote of at least five out of the six members of the Supervisory Board.  The nominee shall be selected based on both individual merits and capabilities as well as potential contribution to the Executive Board (or, in the case of Direct Reports, his or her relevant team), with the objective of assembling the best team capable of delivering the Joint Venture strategy and Business Plan.  Members of the Supervisory Board may decline to approve any such nominee based only on lack of relevant qualifications, experience, track record, personal profile, past compliance with the General Business Principles of the Joint Venture, and/or such person’s ability to represent the interests of the Joint Venture above those of either Shareholder.  If the Supervisory Board declines to nominate the nominee, the CEO may submit a different candidate (selected from among two new individuals designated by the Shareholder entitled to do so under this paragraph (c)) to be approved pursuant to the procedures specified in this paragraph (c) above until an individual is approved to serve in such capacity by the Supervisory Board.  In the case of any other position on the Executive Board not otherwise addressed in this Section 6.05(c), the process set forth above shall be followed save that the CEO shall not be required to select his nominee from any pool of persons selected by any Shareholder.

(a)            The Parties acknowledge that, as a result of the contributions to the Joint Venture made by or caused to be made by: (i) Cosan, the Downstream Co may be able to reduce its liability for CIT after the Closing Date due to amortization of Cosan Goodwill; and (ii) Shell, the Downstream Co may be able to reduce its liability for CIT after the Closing Date from the use of Shell Pre-Closing NOLs.

(b)            The amounts in BRL of Cosan Goodwill and Shell Pre-Closing NOLs of the Downstream Co, together with the anticipated approximate amounts of the Cosan Tax Savings and Shell Tax Savings, at the Closing Date, will be delivered in writing by Cosan to Shell (in the case of Cosan Goodwill and Cosan Tax Savings) and by Shell to Cosan (in the case of Shell Pre-Closing NOL and Shell Tax Savings) within 20 Business Days after Closing.

(c)            For each CIT Year: (i) the holders of the Downstream B Shares shall be entitled to a Distribution equal in the aggregate to the Cosan Tax Savings of the Downstream Co for such CIT Year, (ii) the holders of the Downstream C Shares shall be entitled to a Distribution equal in the aggregate to the Shell Tax Savings of the Downstream Co for such CIT Year; and (iii) the holders of the Downstream D Shares shall be entitled to a Distribution equal in the aggregate to a (a) minimum amount of BRL 729,412.00 (seven hundred and twenty-nine thousand, four hundred and twelve Reais), and (b) maximum amount of BRL 1,094,118.00 (one million, ninety-four thousand, one hundred and eighteen Reais), being the exact amount of the Distribution for such CIT Year to be decided by the Shareholders’ Meeting, provided that (x) in the CIT Year ended on March 31st, 2015, the Distribution to the Downstream D Shares shall be equal to the total amount of BRL 790,550.00 (seven hundred and ninety thousand, five hundred and fifty-five Reais), and (y) from the CIT Year ended on March 31st, 2016, the minimum and maximum amount of Distribution to the Downstream D Shares indicated on items “a” and “b” shall be annually updated as per the CDI, considering March 31st, 2016 as initial term.

(d) Distributions on any given CIT Year may be made by way of a partial redemption of Downstream C Shares, Downstream D Shares and/or Downstream E Shares. The terms, conditions, amounts and criteria for any partial redemption of Downstream C Shares, Downstream D Shares and/or Downstream E Shares shall be approved by 100% (one hundred per cent) of the Shareholders in a Shareholders’ Meeting. For sake of clarity, Downstream B Shares are not subject to partial redemption. Downstream B Shares shall only be redeemed in full; provided, however, that such redemption in full shall occur up to November 22, 2016, for a symbolic value (“valor simbólico”) to be approved by 100% (one hundred per cent) of the Shareholders in a Shareholders’ Meeting, considering that final amortization or deductions on account of Cosan Goodwill and Cosan Goodwill NOL have been realized and that such Cosan Tax Savings have been paid as Distributions.

(e)            If, as a result of an audit by a Governmental Authority or of direct action taken by the Downstream Co before the initiation of an audit by a Governmental Authority purporting to investigate the respective Tax matter, the figure in respect of the CIT Taxable Base or NOL of the Downstream Co is different from the figure previously used in respect thereof to calculate the Cosan Tax Savings or Shell Tax Savings for the same CIT Year such that the actual Cosan Tax Savings or Shell Tax Savings, respectively, are: (i) greater than the amount in respect of which prior Distributions have been made for the same CIT Year, then the holders of the Downstream B Shares or Downstream C Shares (as the case may be) shall be entitled to an additional Distribution equal to such excess, which shall be paid in accordance with paragraph (g); or (ii) less than the amount in respect of which prior Distributions have been made for the same CIT Year, then the holders of the Downstream B Shares or Downstream C Shares (as the case may be) that received the excess amount pursuant to this Section 9.02(e)  shall repay that amount (plus, solely if the amendment directly relates to the Cosan Goodwill, or to the Shell Pre-Closing NOL (as the case may be), and not to other items of the CIT Taxable Base or NOL, any penalties, adjustments, costs and expenses incurred as a result of the related unpaid CIT or the repayment under this paragraph (ii)) to the Downstream Co so as to put it in the same after-Tax cash position as if there had been made no excess Distributions and no corresponding adjustments in the CIT Taxable Base or NOL; and in the case of (i) and (ii), any payments due to, or from, the Downstream Co shall be made as a single payment in BRL within 30 days of the date on which the revised figure for the actual Cosan Tax Savings or Shell Tax Savings (as the case may be) is finally determined (X) by means of a judicial decision, arbitral award or binding order of a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction (in each case without possibility of appeal or where the time for appeal has expired), or (Y) directly by the Downstream Co before the initiation of an audit by a Governmental Authority purporting to investigate the respective Tax matter.

(f)            Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.02, the Distributions provided by paragraphs (c) and (d)  for any CIT Year shall be reduced (but not below zero, except as contemplated in this Section 9.02) to the extent necessary so that, on a cumulative basis with respect to all CIT Years from the Closing Date through the end of such CIT Year, the aggregate Distributions with respect to: (i) the Downstream B Shares for all such CIT Years do not exceed the single Distribution with respect to the Downstream B Shares that would be determined under paragraphs (c) and (d) if all such CIT Years were treated as a single CIT Year, and (ii) the Downstream C Shares for all such CIT Years do not exceed the single Distribution with respect to the Downstream C Shares that would be determined under paragraphs (c) and (d) if all such CIT Years were treated as a single CIT Year.

(g)            If the reductions required pursuant to paragraph (e) exceed the amount of any Distribution otherwise due to holders of Downstream B Shares or Downstream C Shares (as the case may be): (i) such excess amount shall be applied in the calculation of Distributions in any subsequent CIT Years to reduce any Distributions otherwise then due to holders of Downstream B Shares or Downstream C Shares (as the case may be); and (ii) upon the termination of the Joint Venture, the holders of Downstream B Shares or Downstream C Shares (as the case may be) at the time of such termination, shall promptly pay any remaining excess amount (after applying the provisions of paragraph (f)(i) above) to the Downstream Co (or to any successor in law) so as to put the Downstream Co (or any successor in law) in the same after-Tax cash position as if there had been no excess Distributions and no corresponding adjustments in the CIT Taxable Base or NOL; provided that any such remaining excess amount shall first be applied to offset amounts, if any, owed to such holders of Downstream B Shares or Downstream C Shares (as the case may be) by the Downstream Co.

(h)            Each Distribution provided for under this Section 9.02 shall be: (i) unless otherwise specified herein paid as a single payment in BRL and made within 20 Business Days of the statutory deadline for filing the CIT Tax Return with respect to that CIT Year for the Downstream Co; and (ii) in case of a Distribution to holders of Downstream B Shares payable as dividends, to holders of Downstream D Shares payable as dividends or partial redemption of shares, and holders of Downstream C Shares, payable as dividends or partial redemption of shares.

(i)            The Downstream Co shall maintain: (i) management accounts in a form sufficient for the purposes of determining the amounts of any Distributions in any CIT Year; and (ii) records of the amounts of any Distributions paid with respect to any CIT Year to the holders of Downstream B Shares, Downstream C, Downstream D Shares and/or the Downstream E Shares.

(j)            For the CIT Year in which: (A) any final amortization or deductions on account of Cosan Goodwill and Cosan Goodwill NOL are realized or are to be realized, the amount of Cosan Tax Savings provided under Section 9.02(c) in respect of such CIT Year shall be paid to the holders of the Downstream B Shares in full redemption of the outstanding Downstream B Shares (to the extent such Cosan Tax Savings have not previously been paid as Distributions), and (B) any final deductions on account of Shell Pre-Closing NOL are realized or are to be realized, the amount of Shell Tax Savings provided under Section 9.02(c) in respect of such CIT Year shall be paid to the holders of the Downstream C Shares in full redemption of the outstanding Downstream C Shares (to the extent such Shell Tax Savings have not previously been paid as Distributions).

(k)            If in any fiscal year the Downstream B Shares, the Downstream C Shares, the Downstream D Shares or the Downstream E Shares, as the case may be, are to acquire voting rights in view of the provisions of Paragraph First of Article 111 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, Cosan and Shell shall initiate good faith discussions to agree on the most expedient and cost-effective solution for all Parties to maintain at all times the same economic rights, equity interests and voting interests as if such shares had not acquired voting rights.  The holders of the Downstream B Shares, the Downstream C Shares, the Downstream D Shares and or the Downstream E Shares shall refrain from exercising any voting rights acquired by the Downstream B Shares, the Downstream C Shares, the Downstream D Shares and/or the Downstream E Shares until a solution is agreed and implemented by the Shareholders.

Section 9.03.  Fiscal and Accounting Year.  The Parties and the Downstream Co shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the fiscal and accounting year (exercicio social) of the Downstream Co shall commence by January 1, 2012 and, in any event, shall ensure that this is the case from January 1, 2013 if approved by a majority of the Supervisory Board.  In the event that any fiscal and accounting year of the Downstream Co does not commence on January 1st, the Downstream Co undertakes to hire the External Auditors to perform an additional audit in relation to its accounts for each financial year from (a) the date thereof to December 31st of such year and (b) from January 1st to December 31st in each subsequent year, in each case, within a scope to be determined by Shell (acting reasonably).

Section 9.04.  Agreed Capital Contributions.

(a)            If:

(i)            Cosan and Shell agree that the Downstream Co requires further equity capital;

(ii)            either Cosan or Shell, together with a majority of the Executive Board, reasonably determines that it is likely that the Downstream Co will default on any of its material debt obligations and/or become unable to pay its debts as they fall due or is otherwise determined to be insolvent, in each case, within 90 days, and therefore requires further equity capital; or

(iii)            the Supervisory Board determines that the Downstream Co requires further equity capital based on the then current Business Plan or due to any unforeseen capital requirement (including a potential default or insolvency event within 90 days) that may arise after the preparation of such Business Plan (in this latter case, as determined by the Supervisory Board);

then the Downstream Co shall immediately serve notice on Cosan and Shell requiring a capital contribution, by way of subscription for common shares by Cosan and Shell in equal proportions, in an amount, in the case of the scenario contemplated in paragraph (i) above, as agreed between Cosan and Shell, in the case of the scenario contemplated in paragraph (ii) above, the minimum amount that such parties agree would be reasonably necessary to ensure that the Downstream Co remains solvent for the following 12 month period or, in the case of the scenario contemplated in paragraph (iii) above, pro rata between Cosan and Shell in accordance with their holdings of common shares in the Downstream Co at such time and in the manner contemplated by Section 9.04(d).

(b)            In the circumstances contemplated by paragraphs (i) or (ii) of Section 9.04(a), if either Cosan or Shell (the “Non-Participating Party”) does not, within 20 Business Days of the capital call (the “Deadline”), confirm in writing  it will make such a contribution in full or confirms that it will make a contribution in part, the other (the “Participating Party”) will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares equal in value to the amount of the Non-Participating Party’s shortfall.  Within 30 days of the lapse of the Deadline, the Non-Participating Party will only be entitled to: (i) vote the JV Securities then Beneficially Owned by it at any Shareholders’ Meeting with respect to those matters set forth in Part 2 of Annex B (and the Participating Party shall otherwise be entitled to vote all of the JV Securities then Beneficially Owned by the Non-Participating Party at any Shareholders’ Meeting with respect to all other matters); and (ii) have its remaining nominees on the Supervisory Board vote on those matters set forth in Part 4 of Annex D (and those nominees shall not be entitled to vote on any other matters whatsoever).  The chairperson of the relevant Shareholders’ Meeting shall refrain from counting any vote exercised in violation of this Section 9.04(b). Further, in such event, the Non-Participating Party shall remove, and the Participating Party shall replace, one of the individuals appointed by the Non-Participating Party from his or her position pursuant to Section 5.01(b).  For the purposes of determining the price of any capital contribution, the Downstream Co shall be valued on a fair market value basis based on its Base Value (as defined in the Joint Venture Agreement) utilizing the procedures and terms and conditions set forth and referred to in clause 18 (Valuation and Base Value) of the Joint Venture Agreement; provided that, if the funds to be provided from a capital call are required more urgently than within the period it would take for such a valuation to be completed, funds may be paid on account by way of a loan by the Shareholder to the Downstream Co convertible into shares upon completion of such valuation.

(c)            If, prior to the expiry of a period of six months from the Deadline, the Non-Participating Party is willing and able to purchase shares in the Downstream Co in an amount equal to its shortfall in respect of the original capital contribution call, then, within 30 days of written notice to the Participating Party and the Downstream Co, it shall buy from the Participating Party, and the Participating Party shall sell to the Non-Participating Party, such common shares as necessary to return Cosan and Shell to the state of being equal Shareholders, at a price that is based on the Base Value (as defined in the Joint Venture Agreement) at the price paid by the Participating Party when the capital call was originally made (together with interest accruing at the Default Interest Rate from the date of the original capital call to the date of payment).  Upon and after payment in respect of such share purchase within the specified six-month period, the governance rights of Cosan and Shell shall return to the status quo ante that pertained prior to such capital contribution obligation.

(d)            In the circumstances contemplated by paragraph (iii) of Section 9.04(a):

(i)            the Downstream Co shall give Cosan notice of any proposed issuance by the Downstream Co of any JV Securities (together with its material terms and conditions and intended use of proceeds) at least 20 Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date;

(ii)            Cosan shall be entitled to purchase up to its pro rata share of the JV Securities proposed to be issued based on its then current percentage ownership of the outstanding common shares of the Downstream Co; and

(iii)            for the purposes of determining the price of any capital contribution, the Downstream Co shall be valued on a fair market value basis.

(e)             Capital Redemptions.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Downstream Co shall only effect the redemption of its share capital in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02, of a Transaction Document or if otherwise agreed in writing by the Shareholders.
