14.1   Either party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 14 (this “Arbitration Provision”).  The arbitration shall be conducted in New York City, New York.  As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving Subscriber (or persons claiming through or connected with Subscriber), on the one hand, and any of the Potash Parties (or persons claiming through or connected with the Potash Parties), on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Securities, the Site, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of Section 14.5 below) the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part of this Arbitration Provision, or the entire Agreement; provided, however, that “Claims” shall not be deemed to include any claims or disputes arising out of alleged breaches or violations of the federal and state securities laws of the United States.  Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise.  Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise.  The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

14.2   The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association or the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, in accordance with their rules governing commercial arbitrations. Provided however, that the parties hereby agree that only one arbitrator shall hear and determine their dispute.  In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply.

14.3   Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorney’s fees, except as otherwise provided by law.  If a statute gives Subscriber the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and the parties hereby consent to a determination by the arbitrator of a party’s entitlement to recover fees and the reasonable amount thereof.

14.4   Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, a party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator.  In the event of such an appeal, an opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days after notice of the appeal.  The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed.  Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding.  Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.5   The Potash Parties agree not to invoke their right to arbitrate an individual Claim that Subscriber may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.
18


14.6   Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction.  Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party, or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party.  No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this Section 14.6 and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable.  Any challenge to the validity of this Section 14.6 shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

14.7   This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA.  The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations.  The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision.  The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court.  The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

14.8   This Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the parties; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any party hereto or other party; and (iii) any transfer of any Securities to any other party.  If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than Section 14.6 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force.  If arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in Section 14.5 are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of Section 14.6 to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had and any award issued shall be void and enforceable.  In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

14.9   THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY DEMANDS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.  THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT UPON DEMAND OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY.  THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATED TO IT.

14.10   The Potash Parties agree and acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Potash Party’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Subscriber of any of the Subscriber’s legal rights under applicable U.S. federal securities laws or any other laws whose applicability is not permitted to be contractually waived.  In addition, this Arbitration Provision shall not apply to claims arising under the U.S. federal securities laws.

15. Additional Information and Subsequent Changes in the Foregoing Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

15.1   The Subscriber agrees to provide any additional documentation the Company may reasonably request, including documentation as may be required by the Company to form a reasonable basis that the Subscriber qualifies as an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise as a “qualified purchaser” as that term is defined in Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act, or as may be required by the securities administrators or regulators of any state, to confirm that the Subscriber meets any applicable minimum financial suitability standards and has satisfied any applicable maximum investment limits.

15.2   Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of each of the parties hereto.
19


15.3   The parties agree to execute and deliver such further documents and information as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

15.4 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it will provide additional information or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable for the Potash Parties (in the sole and absolute judgment of such party or parties) to comply with any disclosure and compliance policies, related legal process or appropriate requests (whether formal or informal), tax reporting and/or withholding requirements or otherwise.

16. Termination.

16.1   In addition to any other event or development described in this Agreement as permitting or requiring termination, each of the following events will cause this Agreement to terminate and expire:

16.1.1  At the discretion of the Company, any breach of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, through any inaccuracy, omission, or incompleteness of a representation or warranty of the Subscriber in this Agreement); and/or

16.1.2  At the discretion of the Company, any determination by the Company that the Subscription in any way results in a material violation of applicable law.

16.2   In the event of termination, Sections 5 (Rights to Use Subscriber Information), 6 (Relationship between Subscriber and the Potash Parties), 10 (Transfer and Storage of Personal Data), 11 (Consent to Electronic Delivery of Notices, Disclosures and Forms), 13 (Limitations on Damages), 14 (Arbitration), 16 (Termination), and 17 (Miscellaneous Provisions) shall survive.

16.2.1  Upon delivery of the Securities to Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement, Subscriber’s obligations, pursuant to the Subscriber Questionnaire and Section 4 of this Agreement, to inform the Company of any changes in any statements made in this Agreement, shall terminate with respect to any such changes that relate solely to the period after the delivery of the Securities.

17. Lock-Up.

17.1   The Subscriber, if requested by the Company and the lead underwriter (the “Lead Underwriter”) of any underwritten or Regulation A offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act, hereby irrevocably agrees not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of any interest in any Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to purchase or acquire Securities (except Securities included in such offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during the 180-day period following the effective date of a registration statement or offering statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, or such shorter or longer period of time as the Lead Underwriter shall specify. The Subscriber further agrees to sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Securities subject to the lock-up period until the end of such period. The Company and the Subscriber acknowledge that each Lead Underwriter of such offering of the Company’s securities, during the period of such offering and for the lock-up period thereafter, is an intended beneficiary of this Section 17.

17.2   During the period from identification of a Lead Underwriter in connection with any offering of the Company’s Securities specified in Section 17.1 until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the lock-up period specified in Section 17.1 in connection with such offering or (ii) the abandonment of such offering by the Company and the Lead Underwriter, the provisions of this Section 17 may not be amended or waived except with the consent of the Lead Underwriter.

18. Miscellaneous Provisions.

18.1   Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue and Service of ProcessNotwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed under the laws of the State of Delaware.  To the extent
20


permissible under applicable law, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or proceeding (“Action”) with respect to this Agreement may, but need not, be resolved, whether by arbitration or otherwise, within the State of New York.  Accordingly, the parties consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts.  The Subscriber agrees and consents that service of process as provided by U.S. federal and Delaware state law may be made upon the Subscriber in any such Action brought in any of said courts, and may not claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, the Subscriber and Company agree that no provisions under federal laws and regulations, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, respective to jurisdiction, venue and/or forum, shall be waived.

18.2   E-Mail Communications All notices and communications to be given or otherwise made to the Subscriber shall be deemed to be sufficient if sent by e-mail to such address provided by the Subscriber via the Site.  Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Subscriber shall send all notices or other communications required to be given hereunder to the Company via e-mail at contato@potassiodobrasil.com.br.  Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been delivered and received on the first business day following that on which the e-mail has been sent (assuming that there is no error in delivery).  As used in this Section 18.2, “business day” shall mean any day other than a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York or the City of Toronto, in the Province of Ontario, are legally closed for business.

18.3   Assignability.  This Agreement, or the rights, obligations or interests of the Subscriber hereunder, may not be assigned, transferred or delegated without the prior written consent of the Company.  Any such assignment, transfer or delegation in violation of this Section 18.3 shall be null and void.

18.4   Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such applicable law.  Any provision hereof that may be held invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions hereof, and to this extent the provisions hereof shall be severable.

18.5   Reimbursement of Costs Related to an Action.  In the event that either party hereto shall commence any suit, action or other proceeding to interpret this Agreement, or determine to enforce any right or obligation created in this Agreement, then such party, if it prevails in such action, shall recover its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and costs of appeal, if any.

18.6   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement) and the documents referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties and shall constitute the sole documents setting forth terms and conditions of the Subscriber’s contractual relationship with the Company with regard to the matters set forth in this Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral, written or electronic, between the Company and the Subscriber.  Irrespective of the foregoing, the Subscriber and the Company may enter into a separate agreement for each of Subscriber’s purchase in the general offering and the voucher program, as such terms are defined in the Offering Circular, as applicable.

18.7   Third-Party Beneficiaries The parties acknowledge that there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, except for any affiliates of the Company that may be involved in the issuance or servicing of the Securities on the Site, which the parties expressly agree shall be third-party beneficiaries hereof.

18.8   Headings The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
