WHEREAS

I.                   the STATE, by force of the State Law nº 4819/58 of August 26, 1958, revoked by Decree-law nº 200 of May 13, 1974, is liable for the charges deriving from the retirement supplementary benefits and pension plan to SABESP’s retirees and pensioners, observing the payment criteria set forth by the State Department of Personnel Expenses – DDPE, created by legal advice of the Treasury Office’s Legal Consulting, State Attorney General Office – PGE and related laws;

II.                Pursuant to the “Term of Recognition and Consolidation of Obligations, Payment Commitment and Other Covenants” (“Term of  Recognition”) executed between the STATE, SABESP and DAEE, and SSRH (at that time, Department of Water Resources, Sanitation and Works) as intervening party on December 11, 2001, the State undertook, amongst other obligations, to reimburse Sabesp for the amount disbursed thereby between March 1986 until November 2001, as payment of benefits referred to by the State Law n^o 4,819 of August 26, 1958 (“Benefits”);

III.             Pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Term of Recognition and Consolidation of Obligations, Payment Commitment and Other Covenants (“Third Amendment”), executed between the State, Sabesp and DAEE, on November 17, 2008, the Parties acknowledge the Nominal Undisputed Amount calculated by Fipecafi (Research Institute of Accounting Actuarial & Financial Foundation) of five hundred and seventy million, six hundred and ninety thousand, two hundred and eighty-three reais and eighty-four cents (R$570,690,283.84), which restated until September, 2008, resulting in an Undisputed Amount acknowledged by  the State and Sabesp of nine hundred and fifteen million, two hundred and fifty-one thousand, two hundred reais and sixty-eight cents (R$915,251,200.68);

IV.             The Third Amendment set forth the payment of Undisputed Amount to Sabesp by means of:

a.       DAEE transfers to Sabesp the reservoirs of Taiaçupeba, Jundiaí, Biritiba, Paraitinga and Ponte Nova, which compose the Alto Tietê system (“Reservoirs”) totaling six hundred and ninety-six million, two hundred and eighty-three thousand, four hundred and sixty-five reais and forty-nine cents (R$696,283,465.49); and

b.      payment of the Outstanding Balance of two hundred and eighteen million, nine hundred and sixty-seven thousand, seven hundred and thirty-five reais and nineteen cents (R$218,967,735.19), as the difference between the Undisputed Amount and the financial credit corresponding to the value of Reservoirs, made in one hundred and fourteen (114) monthly and consecutive installments, in the amount of one million, nine hundred and twenty thousand, seven hundred and sixty-nine reais and sixty-one cents (R$1,920,769.61);

V.                the transfer of reservoirs was accepted by Sabesp on a provisional basis (Clause One, Paragraph Two of the Third Amendment), and Sabesp also offered a provisional acquittance, thus, establishing a financial credit corresponding to the value of reservoirs, in the amount of six hundred and ninety-six million, two hundred and eighty-three thousand, four hundred and sixty-five reais and forty-nine cents (R$696,283,465.49), setting forth, in the Paragraph six of referred Clause One that the final acquittance will only occur when the Reservoirs areas are formally registered on behalf of Sabesp, at the appropriate Register of Deeds;

VI.             Eventual Reservoirs ownership transference to Sabesp in the future, after favorable court decision, would conclude the amount in the agreement provided for the in the Third Amendment, without any outstanding balance to Sabesp, whether related to the principal amount or the monetary restatement;

VII.          since the Reservoirs are assets of great interest for Sabesp, the Parties are jointly endeavoring their efforts to make feasible the Reservoirs ownership transfer to Sabesp, thus, overcoming the legal uncertainty caused by the Public Civil Lawsuit brought by the State Prosecution Office before the 12^th Lower Treasury Court of São Paulo (Proceeding no.1559/053/03/025681-2), which resulted in the lower court decision against which an Appeal was filed no. 412,899,5/9-00, and whose effects were suspended by the Court of Justice of São Paulo’s order (Motion for Stay of Proceeding n^o 116,474,0/0-00) – which annuls the commitment assumed by the Parties in the Term of Recognition of transferring rights over Reservoirs grounded on Article 7, Sole Paragraph of São Paulo State Law n^o 10,058/68;

VIII.       up to date, due to forces beyond the Parties’ control, the Justice has not resolved yet on allowing the Reservoirs ownership transfer, and the Parties acknowledge they cannot foresee an estimated date for the final decision and if such decision will authorize or not this transfer;

IX.             the financial credit which would be settled definitively with the transfer of Reservoirs, calculated in September 2008 in the amount of six hundred and ninety-six million, two hundred and eighty-three thousand, four hundred and sixty-five reais and forty-nine cents (R$696,283,465.49), restated for February  2015, based on the Amplified Consumer Price Index– IPCA, published by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics – IBGE (“IPCA-IBGE”), is one billion, twelve million, three hundred and ten thousandand ninety-five reais and sixteen cents (R$1,012,310,095.16);

X.                the State has been making the due payments referring to the Outstanding Balance of two hundred and eighteen million, nine hundred and sixty-seven thousand, seven hundred and thirty-five reais and nineteen cents (R$218,967,735.19), restated as set forth by the Third Amendment and until January 2015, the State has paid all the due installments;

XI.             the State, through the Treasury Office, holds the shares of preferred stock of Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista- CTEEP (“Shares”), listed at the Stock Exchange of São Paulo – Bovespa, free and available for sale, under the ticker TRPL4, whose market value, based on the share closing price on March 17, 2015 is R$39.25.

Paragraph One – Should the provisions in the Caput of this CLAUSE occur, the terms of the CLAUSE THREE hereof shall endure referring to the payment of Principal Amount of Credit, remaining the amount of Inflation Adjustment Credit referred to by Paragraph One of CLAUSE TWO to be paid by the State to Sabesp.

a.       The amount shall be paid in sixty (60) equal and consecutive monthly installments, the first one to mature 30 days after the payment of the last installment referring to the Principal Amount of Credit or in the event of bank holiday, on the next subsequent business day, and other installments on same day of subsequent months, or in the event of bank holiday, on the next subsequent business day.

b.      The individual amount of installments referred to by previous item shall be restated only once every twelve (12) months, to include the annual variation of IPCA-IBGE, or another index to replace it, plus interest rates of half percent (0.5%) per month.

CLAUSE SEVEN – MISCELLANEOUS

A)    The Central Court of the District of São Paulo is hereby elected to settle any doubts and/or litigations deriving herefrom, with the express waiver of any other, no matter how privileged it may be.

B)    The Parties agree that the specific performance of the obligations envisaged herein may be required. This document constitutes an extrajudicially enforceable instrument.
