8.2.In the event the Holding Partner (“Offering Partner”) intends to directly or indirectly Dispose of Holding Shares or Quotas, and its respective partners in that Holding do not exercise their First Degree Right of First Refusal, then the Offering Partner shall offer to the partners of the other Holding (“Offered Partners”), by means of a notice (“Notice of Offer from Holding Partner”), the right of first refusal to acquire all shares issued by Ultrapar corresponding to the Holding shares or quotas of which it intends to Dispose of and that have been subject to the First Degree Right of First Refusal (“Offered Indirect Stake”), within thirty (30) days (“Second Degree Right of First Refusal”).
8.3.The Notice of Offer from Holding Partner shall: (i) specify the name and full qualification of whoever is interested in acquiring the Offered Indirect Stake (“Potential Acquirer”), identifying, if it is a legal entity, its controlling or main shareholders, up to the level of the individuals; (ii) inform the number of shares issued by Ultrapar comprised in the Offered Stake and the proportion such number represent of Ultrapar’s capital stock, as well as the total price and the price per share, in domestic currency, and the payment due date; and (iii) be accompanied by a copy of the offer or equivalent document presented by the Potential Acquirer (“Indirect Stake Offer”).

8.4.In the event any Offered Partner decides to exercise the Second Degree Right of First Refusal to acquire the Offered Indirect Stake (“Accepting Partner”), it shall notify the Holding in which it holds a stake within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by such Holding of the Notice of Offer from Holding Partner (“Exercise Period of the Second Degree Right of First Refusal”), informing of the irrevocable and irreversible exercise of the Second Degree Right of First Refusal to acquire the whole Offered Stake (“Notice of Exercise of Second Degree Right of First Refusal”). Not later than three (3) days after the end of the Exercise Period of the Second Degree Right of First Refusal, the Offered Partners’ Holding shall inform to the other Holding the Holdings Partners which have exercised the Second Degree Right of First Refusal and how many shares each one shall be entitled, and each Holding shall forward such information forthwith to their respective Holdings Partners. The Offered Partners’ Holding shall also forward to the other Holding copies of all Notices of Exercise of Holding Partner’s Tag Along Right it may have received.
8.5.In the event that more than one Offered Partner exercises the Second Degree Right of First Refusal, the Offered Stake shall be shared among the Accepting Partners pro rata to each Accepting Partner’s stake in the capital stock of the respective Holding, without considering the stakes of those Offered Partners which have not exercised the Second Degree Right of First Refusal.
8.6.The acquisition of the Offered Stake shall be effected by means of the following steps: (i) transfer to the Offering Partner by the Holding in which it has a stake of shares issued by Ultrapar corresponding to the Offered Indirect Stake; (ii) acquisition of shares issued by Ultrapar in the exact terms of the Notice of Offer from Holding Partner within thirty (30) days from the Notice of Exercise of Second Degree Right of First Refusal, upon the execution of a Share Transfer Order – STA (Ordem de Transferência de Ações – OTA) to the entity in charge of the Company’s book entry shares; and (iii) capital increase of the Holding of which the Accepting Partner is a partner in order for such Holding Partner to contribute with the acquired Ultrapar shares.
8.6.1. Each Holding Partner hereby undertakes (i) to approve the capital increase of the Holding of which it is a partner in order to comply with the provisions of Section 8.6 above; and (ii) not to exercise the preemptive right to which it will be entitled by virtue of such capital increase.
8.7.In the event the Second Degree Right of First Refusal is not exercised by any Offered Partner, the Offering Partner may, at its discretion, within thirty (30) days from the end of the Exercise Period of the Second Degree Right of First Refusal, dispose of the Offered Indirect Stake to the Potential Acquirer in the exact terms of the Offer, except if the Potential Acquirer has been admitted as partner or shareholder of the Holding, in which case the disposal shall entail the transfer of the Holding Shares or Quotas. In any event, if the proposed disposal is not consummated within the thirty (30)-day period referred to in this Section 8.7, any Disposal of Offered Indirect Stake shall require the Offering Partner to execute once again the whole procedure described in this Section Eight, subject first to the First Degree Right of First Refusal.
8.8.In the event any tag along right on Holding Shares or Quotas, established for the benefit of a Holding Partner in the Holdings’ corporate documents, is exercised, then the Offering Partner shall, in the Notice of Offer from Holding Partner, inform the number of Holding Shares or Quotas owned by each Holding Partner that is included in the Offered Indirect Stake, in order to allow the identification of each Holding Partner that will dispose of a pro rata portion of the Offered Indirect Stake.

9.2. The Holding Partner that wants to proceed with a Migration shall first notify the Holding in which he/she/it holds a stake informing of the exercise of the Migration right and formalizing a swap offer informing (i) the number of shares or quotas of the Holding’s capital stock that he/she/it intends to swap; (ii) the corresponding number of shares issued by Ultrapar (“Migration Notice”).

9.3.1. In the case of Holding shares or quotas encumbered with usufruct or trust, the bare owner or trustee, as the case may be, must express his/her/its desire to carry out the swap within 10 (ten) days after sending the Migration Notice. If not, the usufructuary or trustee may express his/her/its desire to carry out the swap within the following 5 (five) days.

If all the Holding Partners who accepted the swap have expressed an interest in swapping the entire number of shares informed in the Migration Notice, their stake in the swap must be shared pro rata to the stake that each one holds in the Holding's capital stock.
9.5.1. For the purposes of sharing based on stake in the capital stock, the Holding shares or quotas encumbered with usufruct or trust shall be computed as belonging to the bare owner or trustee, if they have expressed an interest in participating in the swap and, if not, such shares or quotas shall be computed as owned by the usufructuary or the trustee who has expressed an interest in participating in the swap.
9.6. In the event the number of shares issued by Ultrapar offered to be swapped does not reach, in the aggregate, the number informed in the Migration Notice, the Holding Partner that has started the Migration may request the Holding in which he/she/it holds a stake to implement the Migration of the remaining portion, as set forth in Section 9.7 below.
9.7.

The Migration shall be implemented by means of a swap or share repurchase, share redemption, or other form indicated in the Migration Notice, as long as it is reasonable and legal, and provided further that all the necessary measures and resolutions necessary to enable the Migration shall be taken, including, if applicable, by the holding of a general shareholders’ or partners’ meeting of the Holding, including to resolve on the capital stock reduction if there are no profits and reserves in the respective Holding, or by any other effective alternative for the delivery of shares issued by Ultrapar to the Holding Partner.
