Ladies and Gentlemen:

Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES, a wholly-owned federal government company (“BNDES” or the “Selling Shareholder”), as shareholder of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras (“Petrobras” or the “Company”), a sociedade de economia mista organized and existing under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (“Brazil”), proposes to sell to the underwriters named in Schedule A annexed hereto (the “International Underwriters”), for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), a total of 84,070,000 American depositary shares (“Common ADSs”), each representing two common shares (“Common Shares”), without par value, of the Company.

The Common ADSs will be issued pursuant to an Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”) dated as of January 2, 2020, among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Depositary”), and registered holders and beneficial holders from time to time of the Common ADSs issued thereunder. The Common ADSs may be evidenced by American depositary receipts (the “ADRs”).

The International Underwriters, severally and not jointly, will purchase the Common ADSs from the Selling Shareholder, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth in this Underwriting and Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”) and subject to the conditions and other provisions herein.

In addition to the Common ADSs sold pursuant to this Agreement, the Selling Shareholder is selling an aggregate of 478,109,999 Common Shares in Brazil (the “Brazilian Offered Shares”) and 87,952,700 Common Shares outside Brazil (the “International Offered Shares” and, together with the Common ADSs sold pursuant to this Agreement and the Common Shares underlying such Common ADSs, the “International Offered Securities”) pursuant to the Contrato de Coordenação, Garantia Firme de Liquidação e Distribuição de Ações Ordinárias de Emissão de Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – PETROBRAS (the “Brazilian Underwriting Agreement”, together with this Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”), dated the date hereof, among the Selling Shareholder, the Company, Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse (Brasil) S.A., Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banco Múltiplo S.A., Banco Bradesco BBI S.A., BB-Banco de Investimento S.A., Citigroup Global Markets Brasil CCTVM S.A., Goldman Sachs do Brasil Banco Múltiplo S.A., Banco Morgan Stanley S.A. and XP Investimentos Corretora de Câmbio, Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A. (jointly, the “Brazilian Underwriters”) and the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) (“B3”). The International Offered Securities and the Brazilian Offered Shares are referred to collectively as the “Offered Securities.”

The Selling Shareholder understands that the Brazilian Underwriters have appointed the International Underwriters (acting in such capacity, collectively the “International Agents”) as their agents for the facilitation of the placement of the International Offered Shares outside Brazil, including the United States. The International Agents intend to place the International Offered Shares outside Brazil in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and subject to the provisions below and the Intersyndicate Agreement (as defined below).

Offers and sales of the Brazilian Offered Shares pursuant to the Brazilian Offering will be made in reliance on Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and together with the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”).

The several International Underwriters and the Brazilian Underwriters are, simultaneously herewith, entering into an intersyndicate agreement between their respective syndicates, dated the date hereof (the “Intersyndicate Agreement”) which provides for, among other things, the transfer of International Offered Shares and Brazilian Offered Shares between the two syndicates for the purpose of resale or placement, as applicable.

If the Selling Shareholder (as applicable) does not so withhold with respect to payments made to the International Underwriters, the International Underwriters, shall promptly on demand reimburse, severally and not jointly on a pro rata basis based on the number of Common ADSs which such International Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder, the Selling Shareholder for any such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges. For the avoidance of doubt, no additional amounts shall be paid by the Selling Shareholder to the International Underwriters in respect of any Brazilian tax imposed on the fees payable to the International Underwriters, and if the Selling Shareholder is required to pay such taxes directly, the International Underwriters shall promptly reimburse, severally and not jointly, the Selling Shareholder for such taxes on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Common ADSs which such International Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder).

SECTION 10 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each International Underwriter, each International Agent, their respective affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each International Underwriter or International Agent and its affiliates and each person who controls any of the International Underwriters or International Agents within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement at the effective date thereof and as of the date of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Disclosure Package as of the date thereof, the Closing Date (including, for this purpose, documents incorporated by reference therein), the date of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto and as of any date delivery thereof is required under applicable law, (B) the Final Offering Document, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in each case as of the date thereof, the Closing Date (including, for this purpose, documents incorporated by reference therein), the date of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto and as of any date delivery thereof is required under applicable law (C) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (D) any road show or (E) any Testing-the-Waters Communication or the omission or alleged omission to state in the documents described in this Section 10(a)(ii) a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any properly documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Document, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Selling Shareholder or by or on behalf of any International Underwriter or International Agent specifically for inclusion therein (which, in the case of the Selling Shareholder, shall consist solely of the Selling Shareholder Information; and which, in the case of the International Underwriters and the International Agents, shall consist solely of the Underwriter Information, it being further understood and agreed that each International Underwriter’s or International Agent’s obligations are solely with respect to the information furnished by such International Underwriter or International Agent). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each International Underwriter, each International Agent, their respective affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each International Underwriter or International Agent and its affiliates and each person who controls any of the International Underwriters or International Agents within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement at the effective date thereof and as of the date of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Disclosure Package as of the date thereof, the Closing Date (including, for this purpose, documents incorporated by reference therein), the date of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto and as of any date delivery thereof is required under applicable law, (B) the Final Offering Document, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in each case as of the date thereof, the Closing Date (including, for this purpose, documents incorporated by reference therein), the date of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto and as of any date delivery thereof is required under applicable law, (C) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (D) any road show or (E) any Testing-the-Waters Communication or the omission or alleged omission to state in the documents described in this Section 10(b)(ii) a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any properly documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with

 

25

investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Selling Shareholder will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Document or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with any information other than the Selling Shareholder Information and, in any event, the Selling Shareholder shall not be responsible, pursuant to this Section 10(b), for losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims for an amount in excess of the aggregate public offering price of the Common ADSs sold by the Selling Shareholder to the International Underwriters pursuant hereto.

(c) Each International Underwriter and each International Agent agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholder, each of their directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent (subject to the proviso set forth below) as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the International Underwriters and the International Agents, but only with reference to written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such International Underwriter or International Agent specifically for inclusion in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Document (or in any amendment or supplement thereto) (which shall consist of solely the Underwriter Information); provided that each International Underwriter’s and International Agent’s aggregate liability to the parties set forth above shall in no event exceed the amount of the underwriting discount received by such International Underwriter or International Agent (net of taxes) pursuant to this Agreement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any International Underwriter or International Agent may otherwise have.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless (x) such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party, and (y) the indemnifying party confirms in writing its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such settlement, compromise or judgment.

 

26

(e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, the Selling Shareholder, each International Underwriter and each International Agent agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the Company, the Selling Shareholder, the International Underwriters and the International Agents may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company or the Selling Shareholder (on the one hand) and by the International Underwriters and the International Agents (on the other) from the offering of the International Offered Securities. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company, the Selling Shareholder, each International Underwriter and each International Agent shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company or the Selling Shareholder (on the one hand) and each of the International Underwriters and the International Agents (on the other) in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, and benefits received by each of the International Underwriters and the International Agents shall be deemed to be equal to the total amount of the underwriting discount received by such Underwriter or International Agent (net of taxes) pursuant to this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or the Selling Shareholder (on the one hand) or any International Underwriter or International Agent (on the other), the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Each of the Company, the Selling Shareholder, the International Underwriters and the International Agents agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the International Underwriters and the International Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10, each person who controls the International Underwriters or the International Agents within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of any International Underwriter or International Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as such International Underwriter or International Agent, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, and each person who controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Selling Shareholder shall have the same rights to contribution as the Selling Shareholder, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no International Underwriter or International Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which such International Underwriter’s or International Agent’s total underwriting discount (net of taxes) exceeds the amount of any damage which such International Underwriter or International Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The International Underwriters’ and International Agents’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this paragraph (e) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting and placement commitments and not joint.

SECTION 11 Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company and Selling Shareholder prior to delivery of and payment for the International Offered Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended by the B3 or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the NYSE, NASDAQ or the B3, shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchanges, or (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. Federal or New York State authorities or by the relevant banking authorities in the United Kingdom or Brazil or if any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred, or (iii) any downgrading shall have occurred in the Company’s corporate credit rating or the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act) or if any such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Company’s debt securities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any

 

27

outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States or Brazil of a national emergency or war or other calamity (including any terrorist act) or any crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale, delivery or placement of the International Offered Securities as contemplated by the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Document (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

SECTION 12 Representations, Covenants and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, covenants, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the company, the selling shareholder or their officers and of the international underwriters or international agents set forth in or made pursuant to this agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any international underwriter or international agent or the company or the selling shareholder or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in section 10 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the international offered securities. The provisions of sections 9 and 10 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this agreement.

SECTION 13 Increase in International Underwriters’ Commitments.

(a) Subject to Sections 8 and 11 hereof, if any International Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Common ADSs to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 11 hereof) and if the number of Common ADSs which all International Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Common ADSs, the non-defaulting International Underwriters (including the International Underwriters, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Common ADSs they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 3 hereof) the number of Common ADSs agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting International Underwriters, as hereinafter provided. Such Common ADSs shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting International Underwriters in such amount or amounts as the Representatives may designate with the consent of each International Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Common ADSs shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting International Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Common ADSs set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting International Underwriters in Schedule A.

(b) Without relieving any defaulting International Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, the Selling Shareholder agrees with the non-defaulting International Underwriters that it will not sell any Common ADSs hereunder unless all of the Common ADSs are purchased by the International Underwriters (or by substituted International Underwriters selected by the Representatives with the approval of the Selling Shareholder or selected by the Selling Shareholder with the Selling Shareholders’ approval).

(c) If a new International Underwriter or International Underwriters are substituted by the International Underwriters or by the Selling Shareholder for a defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Selling Shareholder or the Representatives shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five Business Days in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Offering Document and other documents may be effected.

(d) The term “International Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any International Underwriter substituted under this Section 13 with like effect as if such substituted International Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule A hereto.

(e) If the aggregate number of Common ADSs which the defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Common ADSs which all International Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting International Underwriters nor the Selling Shareholder shall make arrangements within the five Business Day period stated above for the purchase of all the Common ADSs which the defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Company or the Selling Shareholder to any International Underwriter and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting International Underwriter to the Company or to the Selling Shareholder.

 

28

Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting International Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such International Underwriter under this Agreement.

SECTION 15 Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

SECTION 16 Jurisdiction. Each of the Company, the Selling Shareholder, the International Underwriters and the International Agents agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against them, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York, or in the competent courts of their own corporate domiciles with

 

30

respect to actions brought against any of them as a defendant, and waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and any right to which any of them may be entitled on account of places of residence or domicile, and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Company has appointed Petrobras America Inc., with offices located at 10350 Richmond Avenue, Suite 1400, Houston, Texas 77042 as its authorized agent (the “Petrobras Authorized Agent”), and the Selling Shareholder has appointed the Selling Shareholder Authorized Agent, in each case upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any state or federal court in the City of New York, New York, by any International Underwriter or International Agent, the directors, officers, employees and agents of any International Underwriter or International Agent, or by any person who controls any International Underwriter or International Agent, and expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company represents and warrants that the Petrobras Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. The Selling Shareholder represents and warrants that the Selling Shareholder Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Selling Shareholder agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Subject to applicable law, service of process upon the Petrobras Authorized Agent and the Selling Shareholder Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company and the Selling Shareholder, respectively.

SECTION 17 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 18 Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. dollars is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholder in respect of any amount due under this Agreement will, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in U.S. dollars that the party entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in U.S. dollars that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, will pay such additional amounts, in U.S. dollars as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the Company or the Selling Shareholder not discharged by such payment will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect.

SECTION 19 Waiver of Immunity. This Agreement and any other documents delivered pursuant hereto, and any action taken hereunder constitute commercial acts by the Company and the Selling Shareholder. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally and to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives, and agrees not to plead or claim, any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) for itself or any of its property, assets or revenues wherever located with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or any document delivered pursuant hereto, in each case for the benefit of each assigns, it being intended that the foregoing waiver and agreement will be effective, irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal in any and all jurisdiction, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 19 shall have the fullest scope permitted under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 and are intended to be irrevocable for the purposes of such act.

SECTION 20 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF ANY OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY OF

As Representatives of the several underwriters

named in the Underwriting Agreement

Dear Sirs:

As an inducement to the International Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), pursuant to which an offering will be made that is intended to result in an orderly market for American depositary shares, each representing two common shares, without par value, (the “Common ADSs”) of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, and any successor (by merger or otherwise) thereto, (the “Company”), the undersigned hereby agree that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common ADSs, common shares, preferred shares or any American depositary shares representing preferred shares (the “Preferred ADSs,” together with the Common ADSs, the common shares and the preferred shares, the “Securities”) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) and BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”). In addition, the undersigned agree that, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse and BofA, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Securities.

The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date 90 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Securities (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to which you are or expect to become parties.

Any Securities acquired by the undersigned in the open market will not be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement. A transfer of Securities to a trust may be made, provided the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement prior to such transfer, such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period).

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Lock-Up Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before March 31, 2020.

Any defined terms used in this letter and not defined in this letter have the meanings given to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement.

This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Very truly yours,

Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES
