3.2 Tag-Along Right

(a) In addition and without prejudice to the ROFR, as defined and set forth in Section 3.3 below, if any PF Shareholder (and/or its Permitted Transferees) proposes to transfer Control or 10% or more, within any twelve-month period, of the then outstanding PF Shares (the “Proposed PF Transferor”), to a bona fide third party purchaser who is not a Permitted Transferee (the “Proposed Transferee”), the other PF Shareholder (“Beneficiary PF Shareholder”) shall be permitted to participate in such transfer (a “Tag-along Sale”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2. For purposes of this Section 3.2, neither of the following shall be considered as a Tag-along Sale: (x) sales of PF Shares by the PF Shareholders or its Affiliates conducted on the Brazilian stock exchange, nor (y) assignment (without consideration) of preemptive rights for subscription of newly issued shares of Profarma. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Transferee” shall mean, in respect of any PF Shareholder, any BMK Shareholder, (i) any Affiliate of such PF Shareholder, any Affiliate of BMK Shareholder to the extent such Affiliate is (a) directly or indirectly, wholly-owned by the transferring shareholder (the transferring Affiliate shall provide to BPL such information as may be reasonably requested to ascertain that such Affiliate has not ceased to be an Affiliate of the transferring shareholder) or (b) with respect to any Person who is an individual, also his/her spouse, stable union or equivalent companion, ancestors or descendants in straight line, as well as any legal entity wholly-owned by any of them; (ii) the transferring shareholder guarantees all of the obligations of such Affiliate under this Agreement; (iii) the Affiliate mentioned in item (i) above unconditionally adheres to this Agreement, on the same terms as applicable to the transferring shareholder in relation to those PF Shares or BMK Shares immediately before the transfer, and the corresponding instrument of adhesion is filed with Profarma or BMK, together with this Agreement; and (iv) such Affiliate shall transfer back to the transferring shareholder its Shares before the Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of the transferring shareholder.
(b) the Proposed PF Transferor must deliver to Profarma and to the Beneficiary PF Shareholder a written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of any proposed Tag-along Sale no later than 10 Business Days before the closing date of the proposed Tag-along Sale. The Sale Notice shall reference BPL’s rights hereunder and shall describe:
(i)the aggregate number of PF Shares the Proposed Transferee has offered to purchase (which, in the event of a transfer of Control, shall include all the PF Shares owned by the Beneficiary PF Shareholder and in the event of a transfer of 10% or more of the outstanding PF Shares of Profarma, but less than the Control, shall include Beneficiary PF Shareholder ‘s pro-rata portion);
(ii)the identity of the Proposed Transferee;
(iii)the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Tag-along Sale;
(iv)the per share purchase price and other material terms and conditions, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and
(v)a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.
(c)The Beneficiary PF Shareholder shall exercise its right to participate in the proposed Tag-along Sale by delivering to the Proposed PF Transferor a written notice (a “Tag-along Notice”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of PF Shares to be transferred by the Beneficiary PF Shareholder no later than 5 Business Days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-along Period”). The offer of the Beneficiary PF Shareholder set forth in a Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, Beneficiary PF Shareholder shall be bound and obligated to transfer such PF Shares in the proposed Tag-along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2, provided the terms of such transfer are no less favorable to the Beneficiary PF Shareholder than as described in the Sale Notice, and subject to Section 3.2(f) below. The Proposed PF Transferor and the Beneficiary PF Shareholder shall have the right to transfer in such Tag-along Sale the number of PF Shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of PF Shares the Proposed Transferee proposes to buy as stated in the Sale Notice and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of PF Shares then held by Beneficiary PF Shareholder or the Proposed PF Transferor, as the case may be, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of PF Shares then held by the PF Shareholders; provided that in the event of a transfer of Control, the Beneficiary PF Shareholder shall have the right to transfer all PF Shares owned by the Beneficiary PF Shareholder.
(d) If the Beneficiary PF Shareholder does not deliver a Tag-along Notice, it shall be deemed to have waived its rights to participate in such Tag-along Sale, and the Proposed PF Transferor shall thereafter be free to transfer to the Proposed Transferee its PF Shares at a per share price that is no greater than the per share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other terms and conditions that are not materially more favorable to the Proposed PF Transferor than those set forth in the Sale Notice without any further obligation to Beneficiary PF Shareholder with respect to such Tag-along Sale.
(e) If Beneficiary PF Shareholder participates in a Tag-along Sale it shall receive the same consideration per share as the Proposed PF Transferor after deduction of Beneficiary PF Shareholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses under Section 3.2(g) below.
(f) The Beneficiary PF Shareholder shall not assume any indemnity liability jointly with Proposed PF Transferor (or any of its Permitted Transferee) with regard to the Proposed Transferee and shall exclusively make or provide representations and warranties with respect to its (i) organization and good standing, (ii) authorization to execute the agreements necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, and (iii) ownership and absence of Encumbrances over its PF Shares.
(g) The fees and expenses of Beneficiary PF Shareholder and Proposed PF Transferor incurred in connection with a Tag-along Sale and for the benefit of all PF Shareholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary PF Shareholder or Proposed PF Transferor, as the case may be, for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all PF Shareholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by Profarma or the Proposed Transferee, shall be shared by Proposed PF Transferor and Beneficiary PF Shareholder if Beneficiary PF Shareholder participates in such sale on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by Proposed PF Transferor (and/or any Permitted Transferee of Proposed PF Transferor) and Beneficiary PF Shareholder.
(h) Subject to Section 3.2(f), Beneficiary PF Shareholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by Proposed PF Transferor.
(i) The Proposed PF Transferor shall have 90 days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to transfer the PF Shares described in the Sale Notice, on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice (which such 90-day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed 120 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain the approval of any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, administrative body, accreditation body, court, or other instrumentality, or contractor thereof, whether foreign or domestic, of any country, nation, republic, federation or similar entity or any state, county, parish or municipality, jurisdiction or other political subdivision thereof (collectively, the “Governmental Authorities”). If at the end of such 90-day period (or 120-day period, as applicable), the Proposed PF Transferor has not completed such transfer, neither the Proposed PF Transferor nor any Permitted Transferee of the Proposed PF Transferor may then effect a transfer of PF Shares subject to this Section 3.2 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 3.2. If the Proposed PF Transferor (or any Permitted Transferee of Proposed PF Transferor) transfers to the Proposed Transferee any of its PF Shares in breach of this Section 3.2, then Beneficiary PF Shareholder shall have the right to transfer to Proposed PF Transferor, and Proposed PF Transferor undertakes to purchase from Beneficiary PF Shareholder, the number of PF Shares that Beneficiary PF Shareholder would have had the right to transfer to the Proposed Transferee under this Section 3.2, for a per share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such PF Shares from Proposed PF Transferor (or any Permitted Transferee of Proposed PF Transferor, as the case may be), but without indemnity being granted by Beneficiary PF Shareholder to Proposed PF Transferor; provided that nothing contained in this Section 3.2 shall preclude a PF Shareholder from seeking alternative remedies against Proposed PF Transferor as a result of its breach of this Section 3.2. Proposed PF Transferor shall also reimburse Beneficiary PF Shareholder for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of Beneficiary PF Shareholder’s rights.
(j) As a condition precedent for any acquisition of PF Shares by a Proposed Transferee, such Proposed Transferee shall adhere to this Agreement in writing, agreeing to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement upon consummation of such acquisition.

3.3 Right of First Refusal
(a)
. Without prejudice to Section 3.2 or Section 4.2, should BMK, any BMK Shareholder, and/or any of their Permitted Transferees (the “Transferring Shareholder”) wish to undertake a “Restricted Transfer” (as defined below) to a bona fide third party purchaser which is not a Permitted Transferee (“Proposed Transferee”), the Transferring Shareholder shall give prior notice in writing (“Offer Notice”) to BPL, which will have a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) over the proposed transfer of PF Shares or BMK Shares, as applicable, that are encompassed by the Offer Notice. “Restricted Transfer” means any transfer, in one or a series of related transactions, of (i) BMK Shares that would result in a change of Control of BMK (including in case of a public offering of shares registered with the CVM (“Public Offering”)), or (ii) PF Shares that would result in a change of Control of Profarma (including in case of a Public Offering), or (iii) PF Shares that would not result in a change of Control of Profarma other than a transfer on the Brazilian stock exchange or made pursuant to a Public Offering.
(b)The Offer Notice must include all the following information in reasonable detail: (i) the number of PF Shares or BMK Shares (as the case may be) covered by the proposed transfer (“Offered Shares”), (ii) the price per share offered by the Proposed Transferee for the Offered Shares (“Offered Price”), (iii) the identity of the Proposed Transferee, and (iv) any other terms and conditions relevant to the proposed transfer. The Offer Notice will constitute an offer for sale of the Offered Shares by the Transferring Shareholder to BPL at the Offered Price, subject to the other terms and conditions established in the Offer Notice and to the provisions set forth herein. BPL may accept the offer substantiated in the Offer Notice by giving written notice (“Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferring Shareholder concerned at any time during the period of 20 Business Days following receipt of the Offer Notice by the Offered Shareholder (“Offer Period”). Failure to deliver the Acceptance Notice before expiration of the Offer Period shall be deemed a waiver by the Offered Shareholder to exercise the ROFR.
(c)The Acceptance Notice must state the irrevocable commitment to acquire all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Such acquisition must comply with all applicable law and on the absence of any injunction or other conservatory measure that prevents performance of said transaction.
(d) If BPL gives the Acceptance Notice before expiration of the Offer Period, agreeing to acquire all of the Offered Shares, the Offering Shareholder must transfer the Offered Shares to BPL and BPL must pay the Offered Price within 45 days after expiration of the Offer Period, provided, however, that if the transfer of the Offered Shares to the Offered Shareholder and the payment thereof require the prior approval from any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation Brazilian antitrust authorities, such 45-day period must be extended until such approval is granted.
(e) If no Acceptance Notice is given during the Offer Period stating the intention of BPL of acquiring all of the Offered Shares or if BPL waives its ROFR, then the Offering Shareholder, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, will have 30 days (subject to extension for applicable anti-trust approval processes) after the lapse of the Offer Period (or such extended term as set forth above), to transfer the Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee, at a price (“Transfer Price”) (converted, if necessary, upon the transfer, into the original currency of the Offered Price) at least equal to the Offered Price and on terms and conditions not more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than those specified in the Offer Notice. As a condition for the Proposed Transferee to acquire the Transfer Shares, such Proposed Transferee shall accede to this Agreement in writing, agreeing to be bound by all of the terms hereof and shall have all rights and obligations of the Transferring Shareholder under this Agreement. If said transfer is not consummated within such period of 30 days (subject to extension for applicable anti-trust approval processes), the Transferring Shareholder, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the relevant provisions of this Agreement, must not transfer the Offered Shares to any third party without first observing each one of the requirements set forth in this Section 3.3.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 3.3, each of the PF Shareholders and BMK Shareholders agrees that a transfer of PF Shares by BMK or its Affiliates in a Public Offering that would constitute a change of Control of Profarma shall be subject to the ROFR and may not be made in any manner without first observing each one of the requirements set forth above in this Section 3.3.

ARTICLE ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

(b) Upon having given prior notice to BPL, if BMK fails to complete the notified actions under Section 4.1(a) within a period of 30 days (or 60 days, if needed for regulatory approval) from the date of BPL’s receipt of the notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(a), BMK would be required to deliver another written notice to BPL in order to extend the prior 90-day period for one month.

If BPL does not comply with its obligation to give written notice of the Potential Purchase Transaction, such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date BMK gains knowledge of the Potential Purchase Transaction and the First Negotiation Purchase Period shall be extended to 20 Business Days. During such 15 Business Day period (or 20 Business Day period, as applicable), BPL or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall not take any steps, towards the Potential Purchase Transaction. Upon expiration of the First Negotiation Purchase Period, independently of having received or not a proposal from BMK, BPL shall have no further obligation with respect to the Right of First Negotiation to Purchase and shall be free to enter into any such noticed Potential Purchase Transaction, provided that BPL must accept the proposal made by BMK or its Affiliates if the financial terms of such proposal, when considered in aggregate, are not less favorable to BPL than those available to BPL from a third party for the Potential Purchase Transaction. BMK Shareholders shall cause BMK to comply with its obligation under this Section 4.2(b).
