Pursuantto the agency agreem entdtscribed in Paragraph 56,Em braerRL agreed

On oraboutJuly 3,2008,EM BRAER executed acontractto provide three highly
specialized militaryaircrafttothe lndian AirForce forapproximately $208 million.ln
connection w ith the deal,EM BRAER retained the servicesofA gentD pursuantto a 2005
agency agreement.ltlaterpaid $5.76millionto AgentD pursuantto afalseagency agreement
signed in oraround 2008.
60.
ln oraround January 2005,EM BRAER executed an agency agreem entw ith a
shellcompany domiciled in theUnited Kingdom and aftsliatedwith AgentD (although Agent
D'snameneverappeared in theagreement).Undertheagency agreement,EM BRAER agreedto
pay the shellcom pany a com m ission of9% ofthe value ofany defense contracts EM BRAER
obtained in India because EM BRAER believed AgentD could help ensure thatany contract
would be aw arded on a single-source,ratherthan com petitive,basis. EM BRA ER personnel
thoughtthe agreem entw ith AgentD w asillegalunderIndian law and thustook stepsto conceal
itstxistence,including secreting tht solt fully-extcuted version ofthe agretm tntin a safe
dtpositbox in London thatcould be opened only w hen b0th an EM BR AER em ployee and Agent
D oran associate ofAgentD were present.
Lessthan a m onth afterexecuting the agency agreem entw ith the shellcompany,
on oraboutFebruary 8,2005,EM BRA ER announced thatithad signed a mem orandum of

supportthe developm entofa new early warning radarsystem forthe lndian A irForce,which
EM BRAER believed could ultim ately resultin EM BRAER securing a contractforthe sale of

On oraboutJuly 3,2008,nearly three yearsaftersigning theM OU , the lndian Air

Paragraph 60.

A gentD continued making dem andsforpaym entand, in oraround February and
M arch 2009,an EM BRAER executive m etwith lawyersrepresenting A gentD to discussAgent
D'spaymentdemands.Followingthesediscussions,EM BRAER executivesagreed to pay $5.76
m illion to AgentD to sdtle the claim .
64.
To concealthe paym entreferenced in Paragraph 63, EM BRAER created a false
agency agreem ent. On oraboutN ovem ber21,2009,m ore than a yearafterEM BRAER was
awarded the lndia contract,EM BRAER,through itswholly owned subsidiary, ECC Investm ent

EM BR AER 'SInternalAccountine Controls

D uring the relevantperiod,EM BRAER know ingly and w illfully failed to devise

Forexam ple,in connection with the Dom inican Republic bribery schem e,
EM BRA ER m ade paym entsto one ofthe shellcom panies identified by D om inican O fficial,
even though a foreign ofûcialhad told EM BRA ER to which com pany to m ake agency paym ents,
and EM BRAER had conducted no diligence on the shellcom pany,did nothavea signed contract

A lso in connection with the Dominican Republic bribery schem e,EM BRAER

to the Jordanian A irForce,even though EM BRAER neversold any aircraftto the Jordanian A ir

indicated thatthe paym entsw ere related to the com m ission ow ed forthe SuperTucano aircrafts

70.
Further,in connection w ith the SaudiArabia bribery schem e,EM BRAER m ade
