The Defendant agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to release the Defendant from any and all of the Defendant's tax liabilities and reporting obligations for any and all income not properly reported and/or legally or illegally obtained or derived.

FACTUAL BASIS

15. The Defendant is pleading guilty because it is guilty of the charges contained in the Information. The Defendant admits, agrees, and stipulates that the factual allegations set forth in the Information and the Statement of Facts are true and correct, that it is responsible for the acts of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, and agents described in the Information and the Statement of Facts, and that the Information and the Statement of Facts accurately reflect the Defendant's criminal conduct. The Defendant stipulates to the admissibility of the Statement of Facts in any proceeding by the Fraud Section and EDNY, including any trial, guilty plea, or sentencing proceeding, and will not contradict anything in the attached Statement of Facts at any such proceeding.

THE DEFENDANT'S WAIVER OF RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO APPEAL

16. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(f) and Federal Rule of Evidence 410 limit the admissibility of statements made in the course of plea proceedings or plea discussions in both civil and criminal proceedings, if the guilty plea is later withdrawn. The Defendant expressly warrants that it has discussed these rules with its counsel and understands them. Solely to the extent set forth below, the Defendant voluntarily waives and gives up the rights enumerated in Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(f) and Federal Rule of Evidence 410. Specifically, the Defendant understands and agrees that any statements that it makes in the course of its guilty plea or in connection with the Agreement are admissible against it for any purpose in any U.S. federal criminal proceeding if, even though the Fraud Section and EDNY have fulfilled all of their obligations under this Agreement and the Court has imposed the agreed-upon sentence, the Defendant nevertheless withdraws its guilty plea.

17. The Defendant is satisfied that the Defendant's attorneys have rendered effective assistance. The Defendant understands that by entering into this Agreement, the Defendant surrenders certain rights as provided in this Agreement. The Defendant understands that the rights of criminal defendants include the following:

  1. the right to plead not guilty and to persist in that plea;
  2. the right to a jury trial;
  3. the right to be represented by counsel - and if necessary have the court appoint counsel - at trial and at every other stage of the proceedings;
  4. the right at trial to confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses, to be protected from compelled self-incrimination, to testify and present evidence, and to compel the attendance of witnesses; and
  5. pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3742, the right to appeal the sentence imposed.

Nonetheless, the Defendant knowingly waives the right to appeal or collaterally attack the conviction and any sentence within the statutory maximum described below (or the manner in which that sentence was determined) on the grounds set forth in Title 1 8, United States Code, Section 3742, or on any ground whatsoever except those specifically excluded in this Paragraph, in exchange for the concessions made by the Fraud Section and EDNY in this plea agreement. This Agreement does not affect the rights or obligations of the Fraud Section and EDNY as set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3742(b). The Defendant also knowingly waives the right to bring any collateral challenge challenging either the conviction, or the sentence imposed in this case. The Defendant hereby waives all rights, whether asserted directly or by a representative, to request or receive from any department or agency of the United States any records pertaining to the investigation or prosecution of this case, including without limitation any records that may be sought under the Freedom of Information Act, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552, or the Privacy Act, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552a. The Defendant waives all defenses based on the statute of limitations and venue with respect to any prosecution related to the conduct described in the Information and the Statement of Facts including any prosecution that is not time-barred on the date that this Agreement is signed in the event that: (a) the conviction is later vacated for any reason; (b) the Defendant violates this Agreement; or (c) the plea is later withdrawn, provided such prosecution is brought within one year of any such vacation of conviction, violation of the Agreement, or withdrawal of plea plus the remaining time period of the statute of limitations as of the date that this Agreement is signed. The Fraud Section and EDNY are free to take any position on appeal or any other post-judgment mailer. The parties agree that any challenge to the Defendant's sentence that is not foreclosed by this Paragraph will be limited to that portion of the sentencing calculation that is inconsistent with (or not addressed by) this waiver. Nothing in the foregoing waiver of appellate and collateral review rights shall preclude the Defendant from raising a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in an appropriate forum.

PENALTY

18. The statutory maximum sentence that the Court can impose for a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, is: a fine of $500,000 or twice the gross pecuniary gain or gross pecuniary loss resulting from the offense, whichever is greatest, Title 15, United States Code, Section 78ff(a) and Title 18, United States Code, Section 3571 (c), (d); five years' probation, Title 18, United States Code, Section 3561(c)(1); and a mandatory special assessment of $400 per count, Title 18, United States Code, Section 3013(a)(2)(B). In this case, the parties agree that the gross pecuniary gain resulting from the offense is $3,336 billion. Therefore, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3571(d), the maximum fine that may be imposed is twice the gross gain, or $6,672 billion per offense.

SENTENCING RECOMMENDATION

19. The parties agree that pursuant to United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), the Court must determine an advisory sentencing guideline range pursuant to the United States Sentencing Guidelines. The Court will then determine a reasonable sentence within the statutory range after considering the advisory sentencing guideline range and the factors listed in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3553(a). The parties' agreement herein to any guideline sentencing factors constitutes proof of those factors sufficient to satisfy die applicable burden of proof. The Defendant also understands that if the Court accepts this Agreement, the Court is bound by the sentencing provisions in Paragraph 18.

20. The Fraud Section, EDNY and the Defendant agree that a faithful application of the United States Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.) to determine the applicable fine range yields the following analysis:

    a. The 2016 USSG are applicable to this matter.

    b. Offense Level--Bribery Conduct (Highest Offense Level). Based upon USSG § 2C1.1, the total offense level is 48, calculated as follows:

    (a) (2) Base Offense Level 12
    (b) (1) Multiple Bribes +2
    (b)(2) Value of Benefit more than $550,000,000 30
    (b)(3) High Level Official Involved +4
    Total Offense Level 48

    c. Base Fine. Rased upon USSG § 8C2.4(a)(2), the base fine is $3,336 billion.

    d. Culpability Score. Based upon USSG § 8C2.5 and 8C4.1, the culpability score is 9, calculated as follows:

    (a) Base Culpability Score 5
    (b) (1)(A)(i) 5,000 or More Employees and Participation by High-Level Personnel +5
    (c) Obstruction of Justice +3
    (g)(2) Self-Disclosure and Cooperation -2
    8C4.1 Substantial Assistance Against Others -2
    TOTAL 9
    Calculation of Fine Range:
    Base Fine $3,336 billion
    Multipliers 1,8 (min)/ 3.6 (max)
    Fine Range $6.0048 billion to $12.0096 billion

21. Pursuant to Rule 11 (c)(1)(C) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the Fraud Section, EDNY and the Defendant agree that the following represents the appropriate disposition of the case:

    a. Disposition. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(1)(C), the Fraud Section, EDNY and the Defendant agree that the appropriate disposition of this case is as set forth above, and agree to recommend jointly that the Court, at a hearing to be scheduled at an agreed upon time, impose a sentence requiring the Defendant to pay a criminal fine, as noted below. Specifically, the parties agree, based on the application of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, that the appropriate total criminal penalty is $4,503,600,000. This reflects a 25 percent discount off of the bottom of the applicable Sentencing Guidelines fine range for the Defendant's full cooperation and remediation.

    b. The Defendant has made representations to the Fraud Section, EDNY and the Brazilian authorities that the Defendant has an inability to pay a criminal fine in excess of $2,600,000,000, including anticipated adjustments for exchange rates between the United States Dollar and the Brazilian Real and interest payments. Based on those representations, the Defendant has agreed to a criminal penalty of $2,600,000,000 payable to the United States, Brazil, and Switzerland on the time schedule allotted by their respective agreements.

    c. The Fraud Section, EDNY and the Brazilian authorities will conduct an independent analysis to verify the accuracy of the Defendant's representations ("the Analysis"), with such verification to be completed no later than March 31, 2017. Upon completion, if any additional amount is determined by the Fraud Section, EDNY and the Brazilian authorities to be available, consistent with the Defendant's ability to pay, such additional amount will be added to the total criminal penalty of $2,600,000,000 ("Total Criminal Penalty"). The Analysis will also verify the amounts the Defendant is able to pay as of June 30, 2017 and within five years of the date of the Agreement.

    d. On June 30, 2017, the Defendant agrees to pay into an escrow account for the benefit of the United States Treasury an amount equal to 10 percent of the principal of the Total Criminal Penalty plus 10 percent of any interest that accrues on that amount between the date of the Agreement and the date of the payment, subject to the Analysis. On or before December 31, 2021, the Defendant will pay the Brazilian authorities at least an amount equal to 10 percent of the principal of the Total Criminal Penalty plus 10 percent of any interest that accrues from the date of the Agreement until December 31, 2021, subject to the Analysis. Both the principal and the interest amounts set forth in the Agreement will be determined by application of the Brazilian SELIC rale. The Defendant's payment obligations to the United States will be complete on June 30, 2017, so long as the Defendant pays the remaining amount of the Total Criminal Penalty to Brazil and Switzerland, The Total Criminal Penalty will be offset by the amount the Defendant pays to Brazil and Switzerland over the full term of their respective agreements. The Defendant shall not seek or accept directly or indirectly reimbursement or indemnification from any source with regard to the penalty or disgorgement amounts that the Defendant pays pursuant to the Agreement or any other agreement entered into with an enforcement authority or regulator concerning the facts set forth in the Statement of Facts. The Defendant further acknowledges that no tax. deduction may be sought in connection with the payment of any part of the Total Criminal Penalty.

    e. Mandatory Special Assessment. The Defendant shall pay to the Clerk of the Court for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York within 10 days of the time of sentencing the mandatory special assessment of $400.

22. This Agreement is presented to the Court pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 (c)(1 )(C). The Defendant understands that, if the Court rejects this Agreement, the Court must: (a) inform the parties that the Court rejects the Agreement; (b) advise the Defendant's counsel that the Court is not required to follow the Agreement and afford the Defendant the opportunity to withdraw its plea; and (c) advise the Defendant that if the plea is not withdrawn, the Court may dispose of the case less favorably toward the Defendant than the Agreement contemplated. The Defendant further understands that if the Court refuses to accept any provision of this Agreement, neither party shall be bound by the provisions of the Agreement.

23. The Defendant, the Fraud Section and EDNY waive the preparation of a Presentence Investigation Report, The Defendant understands that the decision whether to proceed with the sentencing proceeding without a Pre-Sentence Investigation Report is exclusively that of the Court. In the event the Court directs the preparation of a Pre-Senlence Investigation Report, the Fraud Section and EDNY will fully inform the preparer of the Pre-Sentence Investigation Report and the Court of the facts and law related to the Defendant's case. At the time of the plea hearing, the parties will suggest mutually agreeable and convenient dates for the sentencing.

BREACH OF AGREEMENT

The following Statement of Facts is incorporated by reference as part of the Plea Agreement (the "Agreement") between the United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Fraud Section (the "Fraud Section"), the United States Attorney's Office forthe Eastern District of New York (the "EDNY") and the defendant Odebrecht S.A. Odebrecht S.A. hereby agrees and stipulates that the following information is true and accurate, Odebrecht S.A. admits, accepts, and acknowledges that it is responsible for the acts of its officers, directors, employees, and agents as set forth below. The Fraud Section and EDNY's evidence establishes the following facts during the relevant time frame and proves beyond a reasonable doubt the charges set forth in the Criminal Information fded in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York pursuant to the Agreement:

RELEVANT ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS

1. Odebrecht S.A. was a Brazilian holding company that, through various operating entities (collectively "Odebrecht" or the "Company"), conducted business in multiple industries, including engineering, construction, infrastructure, energy, chemicals, utilities and real estate. Odebrecht had its headquarters in Salvador, state of Bahia, Brazil, and operated in 27 other countries, including the United States.

2. Construtora Norberto Odebrecht ("CNO") was a Brazilian-based subsidiary of Odebrecht S.A. CNO was responsible for carrying out projects in Brazil related to transport and logistics, energy, sanitation, urban development and public and corporate construction. CNO housed a unit called the Division of Structured Operations, which, as described below, was created to allow Odebrecht to make unrecorded payments, many of which took the form of bribes to government officials in Brazil and abroad.

3. Braskem S.A. ("Braskem"), a sociedade anônima (corporation) organized under the laws of Brazil and headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, was one of the largest petrochem ical companies in the Americas, producing a portfolio of petrochemical and thermoplastic products. Odebrecht S.A. owned 50,11% ofthe voting shares and 38.1% ofthe total share capital of Braskem and effectively controlled the company. Petroleo Brasileiro S,A. - Petrobras ("Petrobras"), Brazil's national oil company, owned 36.1% ofthe shares of Braskem. American depositary shares of Braskem traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and Braskem was required to file annual reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under Section 15(d) ofthe Exchange Act, Title 15, United States Code, Section 78o(d). Braskem was an "issuer" as that term is used in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"), Title 15, United States Code, Sections 78dd-1(a) and 78m(b).

4. Smith & Nash Engineering Company ("S&N"), an unaffiliated shell company based in the British Virgin Islands, was established and managed at the Division of Structured Operations' direction. S&N was used by Odebrecht to further the bribery scheme, and to conceal and disguise improper payments made to, and for the benefit of, foreign officials and foreign political parties in various countries. S&N opened at least one offshore bank account (the "S&N Account") on behalf of Odebrecht. Odebrecht transferred money from various bank accounts, including several New York-based bank accounts (the "New York-based Accounts"), to the S&N Account. The funds in the S&N Account were then used, in part, to make direct and indirect bribe payments to foreign officials. A United States citizen and resident of New York and Florida was the authorized signatory on the S&N Account.

5. Arcadex Corporation ("Arcadex") was an unaffiliated shell company incorporated in Belize. Arcadex was established and managed at the Division of Structured Operations' direction and used by Odebrecht to further the bribery scheme, and to conceal and disguise improper payments made to, and for the benefit of, foreign officials and foreign political parties in various countries. Arcadex opened at least one offshore bank account (the "Arcadex Account") on behalf of Odebrecht. Odebrecht transferred money from various bank accounts, including the New York-based Accounts, to the Arcadex Account. The funds in the Arcadex Account were then used, in part, to make direct and indirect bribe payments to foreign officials.

6. Golac Projects and Construction Corporation ("Golac") was an unaffiliated shell company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Golac was established and managed at the Division of Structured Operations' direction and used by Odebrecht to further the bribery scheme, and to conceal and disguise corrupt payments made to, and for the benefit of, foreign officials and foreign political parties in various countries. Golac opened at least one offshore bank account (the "Golac Account") on behalf of Odebrecht. Odebrecht transferred money from various bank accounts, including the New York-based Accounts, lo the Golac Account. The funds in the Golac Account were then used, in part, to make direct and indirect bribe payments to foreign officials.

"Odebrecht Employee 1," a citizen of Brazil whose identity is known to the United States and the Company, was an officer and senior executive of Odebrecht S.A, in or about and between January 2009 and December 2015 and an officer and senior executive of CNO in or about and between January 2002 and January 2010. Odebrecht Employee I was also a director of Braskem in or about and between 2009 and December 2015.

8. "Odebrecht Employee 2," a citizen of Brazil whose identity is known to the United States and the Company, was a senior executive in the Division of Structured Operations, in or about and between 2006 and 2015, and reported directly to Odebrecht Employee I. Odebrecht Employee 2 operated the Division of Structured Operations to account for and disburse payments that were not included in Odebrecht's publicly-declared fmancials, including corrupt payments made to, or for the benefit of, foreign officials and foreign political parties in order to obtain and retain business for Odebrecht.

9. "Odebrecht Employee 3," a citizen of Brazil whose identity is known to the United States and the Company, was an executive of the Division of Structured Operations from approximately 2006 to 2015. Odebrecht Employee 3 reported to Odebrecht Employee 2 and was responsible for overseeing corrupt payments made in Brazil and abroad. In or about 2014 and 2015, while located in Miami, Florida, Odebrecht Employee 3 engaged in criminal conduct in furtherance ofthe scheme, including meetings with other co-conspirators to plan actions to be taken in connection with the Division of Structured Operations and the movement of criminal proceeds.

OVERVIEW OF THE BRIBERY SCHEME

19. In or about and between 2001 and 2016, Odebrecht, together with its coconspirators, knowingly and willfully conspired and agreed with others to corruptly provide hundreds of millions of dollars in payments and other things of value to, and for the benefit of, foreign officials, foreign political parties, foreign political party officials and foreign political candidates to secure an improper advantage and to influence those foreign officials, foreign political parties and foreign political candidates in order to obtain and retain business in various countries around the world.

20. During the relevant time period, Odebrecht, together with its co-conspirators, paid approximately $788 million in bribes in association with more than 100 projects in twelve countries, including Angola, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Mozambique, Panama, Peru and Venezuela,

21. To further the criminal bribery scheme, Odebrecht and its co-conspirators created and funded an elaborate, secret financial structure that operated to account for and disburse corrupt bribe payments to, and for the benefit of, foreign officials, foreign political parties, foreign political party officials and foreign political candidates. Over time, the development and operation of this secret financial structure evolved, and in or about 2006, Odebrecht established the Division of Structured Operations, a standalone division within the Company. The Division of Structured Operations effectively functioned as a bribe department within Odebrecht and its related entities. To conceal its activities, the Division of Structured Operations utilized an entirely separate and off-book communications system called "Drousys," which allowed members ofthe Division of Structured Operations to communicate with one another and with outside financial operators and other co-conspirators about the bribes through the use of secure emails and instant messages, utilizing codenames and passwords.

22. Odebrecht and its employees and agents took a number of steps while in the territory of the United States in furtherance ofthe corrupt scheme. For example, some ofthe offshore entities used by the Division of Structured Operations to hold and disburse unrecorded funds were established, owned and/or operated by individuals located in the United States. In addition, at times during the conspiracy, individuals working in the Division of Structured Operations, including Odebrecht Employee 3, Odebrecht Employee 4 and others, took steps in furtherance of the bribery scheme while located in the United States. For example, in or about 2014 and 2015, while located in Miami, Florida. Odebrecht Employee 3 and Odebrecht Employee 4 engaged in conduct related to certain projects in furtherance of the scheme, including meetings with other co-conspirators to plan actions to be taken in connection with the Division of Structured Operations, the movement of criminal proceeds and other criminal conduct.

23. In all, Odebrecht, together with its co-conspirators, paid more than $788 million in bribes to illegally secure projects in multiple countries - including, as described below, corrupt payments to Petrobras employees and executives; corrupt payments to other government officials in Brazil; and corrupt payments to foreign officials in eleven other countries - with ill-gotten benefits |1| to Odebrecht and its co-conspirators of approximately $3,336 billion.

THE DIVISION OF STRUCTURED OPERATIONS AND
THE MANNER AND MEANS OF THE CONSPIRACY

24. The Division of Structured Operations was led by Odebrecht Employee 2 and staffed by other Odebrecht employees and/or agents (including Odebrecht Employee 3 and Odebrecht Employee 4) who worked with a series of financial operators or doleiros (also known as money traders, who functioned to exchange Brazilian Reais for American dollars). Odebrecht Employee 2 reported to Odebrecht Employee 1, who was responsible for approving corrupt payments made by the Division of Structured Operations until approximately 2009, and who, thereafter, received updates ofthe payments made by the Division of Structured Operations. After approximately 2009, Odebrecht Employee 1 delegated the responsibility for approving the corrupt payments to the business leaders in Brazil and the various country leaders in the other jurisdictions.

25. The Division of Structured Operations managed its "shadow" budget via two computer systems: (i) the "My WebDay" system, which was used for making payment requests, processing payments, and generating and populating spreadsheets that tracked and internally accounted for the shadow budget; and (ii) the "Drousys" system, which allowed members of the Division of Structured Operations to communicate with one another and with outside financial operators and other co-conspirators using secure emails and instant messages. To conceal their corrupt activities, users ofthe Drousys system utilized a series of codenames to mask their identities, and referred to bribe recipients and intermediaries using additional codes and passwords.

26. To further conceal the Company's criminal conduct, the Division of Structured Operations managed and distributed funds that Odebrecht never recorded on its balance sheet. These "unrecorded funds" were generated by Odebrecht through a variety of methods, including but not limited to: (i) standing overhead charges collected from subsidiaries; (ij) overcharges and fees that were attributed as legitimate to service providers and subcontractors but not included in project budgets; (in) undeclared retainers and success fees for the purchase of company assets; and (iv) self-insurance and self-guarantee transactions.

27. Once generated, unrecorded funds were funneled by the Division of Structured Operations to a series of offshore entities that were not included on Odebrecht's balance sheet as related entities. These entities were established and managed at the Division of Structured Operations' direction by beneficial owners who were compensated for opening and, in some cases, operating these entities. Odebrecht used these offshore entities to further the bribery scheme, and to conceal and disguise improper payments made to, or for the benefit of, foreign officials, foreign political parties, foreign political party officials and foreign political candidates in various countries. Many ofthe transactions were layered through multiple levels of offshore entities and bank accounts throughout the world, often transferring the illicit funds through up to four levels of offshore bank accounts before reaching the final recipient. In this regard, members of the conspiracy sought to distance the origin ofthe funds from the final beneficiaries.

28. The funds were disbursed from the offshore entities at the Division of Structured Operations' direction. These disbursements were made by financial operators who acted on Odebrecht's behalf, including but not limited to the beneficial owners of the accounts and doleiros, who delivered the payments in cash both inside and outside Brazil in packages or suitcases at locations predetermined by the beneficiary of the funds; or made the payments via wire transfer through one or more of the offshore entities.

29. In furtherance of the bribery scheme and to facilitate the movement of illicit funds, Odebrecht and its co-conspirators also utilized banks with distinct features that would aid in the scheme: specifically, smaller banks located in countries with strict laws regarding the protection of bank secrecy and the sharing of information with international law enforcement. To ensure the cooperation of these favored banks, Odebrecht and its co-conspirators frequently paid remuneration fees and higher rates to the banking institutions, and a percentage of each illicit transaction to certain complicit bank executives. The Division of Structured Operations counted on the collusion of the favored banks and their executives to conduct the transfers between accounts, largely relying on the use of fictitious contracts to backstop the transactions and bypass compliance inquiries. Certain co-conspirators, such as Odebrecht Employee 4, visited tlie countries where the final beneficiaries were located and brought them to the favored banks to open accounts to facilitate the illicit payment transfers.

30. After a particular favored bank located in Antigua began to falter, members of the conspiracy, including former executives with the faltering bank, purchased the Antiguan branch of an Austrian bank in or about 2010 or 2011. By virtue of this acquisition, other members of the conspiracy, including senior politicians from multiple countries receiving bribe payments, could open bank accounts and receive transfers without the risk of raising attention. By acquiring the bank, members of the conspiracy, including Odebrecht Employee 4 and others, willfully facilitated the illegal payment scheme.

Monitor's Discovery of Potential or Actual Misconduct

20. (a) Except as set forth below in sub-paragraphs (b), (c) and (d), should the Monitor discover during the course of his or her engagement that:

  • improper payments or anything else of value may have been offered, promised, made, or authorized by any entity or person within the Company or any entity or person working, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of the Company; or
  • the Company may have maintained false books, records or accounts; or (collectively, "Potential Misconduct''), the Monitor shall immediately report the Potential Misconduct to the Company's General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and/or Audit Committee for further action, unless the Potential Misconduct was already so disclosed. The Monitor also may report Potential Misconduct to the Department at any time, and shall report Potential Misconduct to the Department when it requests the information,

(b) In some instances, the Monitor should immediately report Potential Misconduct directly to the Department and not to the Company. The presence of any of the following factors militates in favor of reporting Potential Misconduct directly to the Department and not to the Company, namely, where the Potential Misconduct: (1) poses a risk to public health or safety or the environment; (2) involves senior management of the Company; (3) involves obstruction of justice; or (4) otherwise poses a substantial risk of harm.

(c) If the Monitor believes that any Potential Misconduct actually occurred or may constitute a criminal or regulatory violation ("Actual Misconduct"), the Monitor shall immediately report the Actual Misconduct to the Department. When the Monitor discovers Actual Misconduct, the Monitor shall disclose the Actual Misconduct solely to the Department, and, in such cases, disclosure ofthe Actual Misconduct to the General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and/or the Audit Committee ofthe Company should occur as the Department and the Monitor deem appropriate under the circumstances.

(d) The Monitor shall address in his or her reports the appropriateness ofthe Company's response to disclosed Potential Misconduct or Actual Misconduct, whether previously disclosed to the Department or not. Further, if the Company or any entity or person working directly or indirectly for or on behalf ofthe Company withholds information necessary for the performance ofthe Monitor's responsibilities and the Monitor believes that such withholding is without just cause, the Monitor shall also immediately disclose that fact to the Department and address the Company's failure to disclose the necessary information in his or her reports.

(e) The Company nor anyone acting on its behalf shall take any action to retaliate against the Monitor for any such disclosures or for any other reason.

Meetings During Pendency of Monitorship

22. At least annually, and more frequently if appropriate, representatives from the Company and the Department will meet together to discuss the monitorship and any suggestions, comments, or improvements the Company may wish to discuss with or propose to the Department, including with respect to the scope or costs of the monitorship.

Contemplated Confidentiality of Monitor's Reports

23. The reports will likely include proprietary, financial, confidential, and competitive business information. Moreover, public disclosure of the reports could discourage cooperation, or impede pending or potential government investigations and thus undermine the objectives of the monitorship. For these reasons, among others, the reports and the contents thereof are intended to remain and shall remain non-public, except as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, or except to the extent that the Department determines in its sole discretion that disclosure would be in furtherance of the Department's discharge of its duties and responsibilities or is otherwise required by law.
