ARTICLE II
THE CREDIT
Section 2.1 Commitments. The Initial Lender agrees, on and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and relying on the representations and warranties set forth herein,
to make to the Borrower Loans in the principal amount of (i) U.S.$30,000,000 on the Closing Date
and (ii) $20,000,000 on the Second Borrowing Date. Amounts repaid in respect of the Loans may not
be reborrowed. The borrowing of the Loans on the Second Borrowing Date shall be in a principal
amount of U.S.$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof.
Section 2.2
Borrowing Procedure. The Borrower shall give the Initial Lender
irrevocable notice of a request for a borrowing hereunder in substantially the form of Exhibit B
(the “
Notice of Borrowing”) as provided in Section 3.6. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (
New York
City time) on any Borrowing Date, the Initial Lender shall make available in U.S. Dollars the full
amount of the borrowing as specified in the Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower by wire transfer to
the U.S. Dollar-denominated account the Borrower specified in such Notice of Borrowing.
Section 2.3 Note. The Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes of the Borrower,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith
(each, a “Note”). The Notes shall (a) be duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, (b)
be payable to the order of the Initial Lender or its assigns and be dated the applicable Borrowing
Date, (c) be in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Loans funded on such
Borrowing Date and be payable in the unpaid principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby, (d)
mature on the Maturity Date and provide for repayment of principal as provided in Section 3.1, (e)
bear interest (and, if applicable, default interest) as provided in Section 3.2 and (f) be entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Initial Lender will note in its
internal records the amount of the initial Loans made by it hereunder and each Lender will note
each payment in respect of any Loan of such Lender hereunder, and will, prior to any transfer of
its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation, however, shall not affect the Borrower’s
obligations in respect of such Loans.
ARTICLE III
PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
Section 3.1 Repayment of the Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders the full
principal of the Loans on the dates and in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth on
Schedule 3.1; provided that the final principal installment shall be in an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date; and provided
further that, if there is no borrowing on the Second Borrowing Date, the amortization schedule
will be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the total borrowing of U.S.$30,000,000. The Borrower
agrees that its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are general
obligations of the Borrower secured by the Collateral and that the recourse of the Lenders in
respect thereof is not limited to the Collateral or any portion thereof.
18
Section 3.2 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay or cause to be paid to the
Lenders interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans for the period from and including the
respective Borrowing Dates for such Loans to but excluding the date on which the Loans are paid in
full, in respect of each Interest Period, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBO Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower agrees that such payments will be
made in accordance with the provisions of this Article III. Such interest shall continue to accrue
after as well as before any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, recuperação judicial,
recuperação extrajudicial, liquidation, falência, dissolution, arrangement or winding up or
composition or readjustment of debts of the Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to pay or cause to be paid to the
Lenders interest on any and all overdue amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents at the Default
Rate during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (d), (f),
(g) or (h).
(c) Accrued interest on the Loans shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest
Period, on the Maturity Date, immediately upon acceleration and upon any prepayment of principal in
accordance with Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, with respect to the principal amount so prepaid;
provided that interest payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) at
the Default Rate shall also be payable from time to time on demand by the Lenders.
(d) On each Interest Determination Date, the Initial Lender shall determine the LIBO Rate for
the relevant Interest Period and shall give notice thereof to the Borrower; it being
understood that the Initial Lender’s failure to do so shall not affect the interest rate
applicable hereunder. If, on the Interest Determination Date, the Initial Lender is advised by the
Reference Bank that deposits in U.S. Dollars are not offered to the Reference Bank in the London
interbank market for such Interest Period, the Loans shall bear interest at an interest rate equal
to the sum of the Alternate Rate in effect from time to time and the Applicable Margin until such
time as the LIBO Rate can be determined.
(e) Interest on the Loans (i) based upon the LIBO Rate shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the relevant Interest Period and (ii) based upon the Alternate Rate shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
Section 3.3 Optional Prepayments. If permitted under Applicable Law, and subject to
Section 4.4 and foreign exchange rules in force at the time of any prepayment, the Borrower shall
have the right to prepay the Loans and the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time after the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, in the case of any partial
prepayment in an aggregate minimum amount of U.S.$10,000,000 and an integral multiple of
U.S.$1,000,000, in each case subject to the payment of the prepayment fees set forth in the table
below (the “Applicable Premium”):

; provided that (a) simultaneously with the making of such prepayment, the Borrower shall
pay all interest accrued on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and any Taxes, fees or
other amounts payable hereunder as a result of such prepayment; (b) the Borrower shall give the
Initial Lender notice of each such optional prepayment in accordance with Section 3.6 and, upon the
date specified in any such notice, the amount to be prepaid as specified in such notice shall
become due and payable hereunder; (c) each such prepayment shall be made only on an Interest
Payment Date unless the Borrower pays in full, simultaneously with the making of such prepayment,
any and all amounts payable in connection therewith pursuant to Section 4.4; (d) the Borrower shall
pay to the Lenders, in addition to any other amounts payable hereunder, the Applicable Premium (the
determination by the Initial Lender of the amounts payable by the Borrower under this clause (d)
shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error); and (e)
each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay the remaining installments of principal under the
Loans in the inverse order of maturity. Amounts prepaid hereunder may not be reborrowed hereunder.
Section 3.4 Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) Asset Sales. No later than five (5) Business Days following the date of receipt by
the Borrower of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net
Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale to prepay the Loans; provided that, if such Asset Sale
does not involve the sale of Collateral and the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale do not, when
aggregated with the proceeds of all other Asset Sales carried out on or following the Closing Date,
exceed U.S.$10,000,000 or involve the sale of any Collateral, the Borrower shall not be obligated
to make such prepayment if and for so long as: (a) prior to the date of receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds, the Borrower delivers to the Initial Lender a Reinvestment Certificate stating that it
intends to invest such Net Cash Proceeds in long-term productive assets used in the business of the
Borrower; and (b) such Investments are consummated within 180 days after the date of such Asset
Sale; provided, further that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not
ultimately so reinvested within such 180-day period, any remaining portion of such Net Cash
Proceeds shall, within one (1) Business Day of the expiration of such period, be applied to repay
the Loans.
(b) Casualty Proceeds. No later than five (5) Business Days following the date of
receipt by the Borrower of Net Cash Proceeds from any Casualty Event relating to Property of the
Borrower other than inventory held for (x) sale in the Ordinary Course of Business or (y)
maintenance or other operational purposes in the Ordinary Course of Business, the Borrower shall
apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Casualty Event to prepay the Loans; provided
that:
(i) in the case of a Casualty Event relating to the Brazil Collateral or, to the
extent securing the Export Prepayment Facility on a first-lien basis, the Belo Amanhã Farm
and Ouro Verde Farm (such collateral, the “Farms”), the Borrower shall be
20
permitted either to: (A) apply the Net Cash Proceeds resulting from such Casualty Event
received by the Borrower to prepay any Debt under the BNDES Facility or Export Prepayment
Facility, as applicable, if and to the extent secured, on a first lien basis, by such
Brazil Collateral or Farms, as applicable (it being understood, however, that to the extent
such Debt so prepaid is less than the amount of Net Cash Proceeds so received, the Borrower
shall not be relieved of its obligation to make a mandatory prepayment pursuant to this
Section 3.4(b)), or (B) use such Net Cash Proceeds resulting from such Casualty Event to
restore the affected Property (provided, that, prior to the date of receipt by the
Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds, in the case of clause (A), the Borrower has delivered
to the Initial Lender, for the benefit of all Lenders, written notice of its intention to
make such prepayment and, in the case of clause (B), that the Borrower has delivered to the
Initial Lender, for the benefit of all Lenders, a Casualty Certificate stating that it
intends to use such Net Cash Proceeds to restore the affected Property), it being
understood that, if, within one (1) year after the receipt by the Borrower thereof, any of
the Net Cash Proceeds resulting from a Casualty Event relating to the Brazil Collateral or
the Farms, as applicable, have not been applied to prepay such Debt under the BNDES
Facility or Export Prepayment Facility, as applicable, or used to restore such affected
Property, then Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of such one
(1) year period, apply such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the Loans; and
(ii) in the case of a Casualty Event relating to any Property of the Borrower other
than the Collateral or the Farms (such property, “Other Borrower Property”), the
Borrower shall be permitted to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds to restore such affected
Other Borrower Property, if and for so long as: (A) such Net Cash Proceeds do not, when
aggregated with any other Net Cash Proceeds of Casualty Events relating to Other Borrower
Property reinvested pursuant to this clause (ii), exceed U.S.$10,000,000; and (B) the
Borrower has delivered to the Initial Lender, for the benefit of all Lenders, a Casualty
Certificate prior to the date of receipt by the Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds stating
that it intends to use such Net Cash Proceeds to restore the affected Property (it being
understood that, if, within 180 days after the receipt by the Borrower thereof, any of the
Net Cash Proceeds resulting from a Casualty Event have not been used to restore such
affected Other Borrower Property, then Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of the
expiration of such 180-day period, apply such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the Loans).
(c) Any mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 3.4 shall be made together with
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid and all other amounts then payable
under this Agreement (including Section 4.4) but without premium or penalty (subject to Section
4.4) and shall be applied to prepay the remaining installments of principal under the Loans in the
inverse order of maturity. The Borrower shall give the Initial Lender notice of the proposed date
of each such mandatory prepayment provided for in this Section 3.4 as provided in Section 3.6 and,
upon the date specified in any such notice, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable
hereunder.
Section 3.5
Payments. (a) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be
made to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be received in U.S. Dollars, in immediately
available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m. (
New York
21
City time) on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment received after
such time on such due date to be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day).
(b) If the due date of any payment to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then (to the extent not
otherwise provided for herein) such date shall be extended to the next Business Day and interest
(if any is applicable to such payment) shall be payable for any amount so extended for the period
of such extension.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.5(a), upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, demand from the Borrower that any amounts owed
to them pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of interest and/or principal and any other
amounts due under the Loans) be made in Brazil, by delivering written notice to that effect to the
Borrower. Any amount to be paid in Brazil pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) shall be paid in the
Reais equivalent of the U.S. Dollar amount owed by applying the Real/U.S. Dollar commercial rate,
expressed as an amount of Reais per U.S. Dollar, as reported by the Central Bank on the SISBACEN
Data System and on its website (which, at the date hereof, is located at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx)
under transaction code PTAX 800 (“Consultas de Câmbio” or Exchange Rate Enquiries), Option 5,
“Venda” (“Cotações para Contabilidade” or Rates for Accounting Purposes) (such rate, the “BRL
Ptax”) one (1) Business Day prior to any date on which payment is to be made hereunder.
(d) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, to the extent that, at any time, there is
more than one Lender hereunder, each payment or prepayment of principal or interest on the Loans
shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of principal or interest on the
Loans then due and payable to each Lender.
Section 3.6
Certain Notices. The Notice of Borrowing shall be effective only if
received by the Initial Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (
New York City time) on the date two (2)
Business Days before the applicable Borrowing Date and shall specify (a) the date of the borrowing
as set forth in Section 2.1, (b) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed on such date as set
forth in Section 2.1 and (c) the U.S. Dollar-denominated account of the Borrower for receipt of
funds. Each notice of optional prepayment, pursuant to Section 3.3(b) or mandatory prepayment,
pursuant to Section 3.4(c), shall be effective only if received by the Initial Lender not later
than 11:00 a.m. (
New York City time) on the date five (5) Business Days before the date of such
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date (which date
shall be a Business Day).
Section 3.7 Debt Service Reserve Account.
(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants
to the Initial Lender, for the benefit of the Lenders, a continuing first priority security
interest in all of its respective right, title and interest in, to and under the Debt Service
Reserve Account and any and all Investment Property, Financial Assets or other Property (including
uninvested funds) from time to time credited thereto or deposited or carried therein, any and all
investments made with funds therein and any and all Proceeds of any of the foregoing (with the
terms “Investment Property,” “Financial Assets” and “Proceeds,” when used herein and
22
capitalized, having the meanings given such terms in Article 8 or Article 9, as the case may be, of
the UCC).
(b) Deposits into, and transfers from, the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be made by the
Borrower as follows:
(i) not later than one (1) Business Day after the Closing Date, an amount equal to the
Minimum Balance shall be transferred to the Debt Service Reserve Account from the proceeds
of the Loans;
(ii) upon and during the continuation of any Event of Default pursuant to Section
8.1(a) or the acceleration of any amount payable by the Borrower or the Guarantor under the
Loan Documents pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.1, amounts in the Debt Service
Reserve Account may be applied by the Initial Lender (on behalf of the Majority Lenders),
first, to pay all unpaid fees, expenses and premiums, if any, owed hereunder, second, to
pay accrued interest on the Loans and any other overdue amounts (other than principal
payments), and third, to pay overdue principal payments on the Loans. The ability of the
Initial Lender to apply such amounts shall be in addition to any of the rights and remedies
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Payments from the Debt Service Reserve
Account shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the Borrower;
(iii) the Borrower shall not have any right to give instructions with respect to the
Debt Service Reserve Account prior to the Maturity Date (except as provided in Section
3.7(b)(v));
(iv) from and after one (1) Business Day after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall at
all times be required to cause the balance of the Debt Service Reserve Account to equal or
exceed the amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the Minimum Balance; provided that if, at any
time, the balance of the Debt Service Reserve Account is less than the Minimum Balance (any
such shortfall, the “Minimum Balance Shortfall”), then the Borrower shall not later
than ten (10) calendar days thereafter cause to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve
Account an amount equal to the Minimum Balance Shortfall;
(v) the balance of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be invested in such U.S.
Cash Equivalent Investments as the Borrower may designate from time to time;
provided that during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the
balance of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be invested in such U.S. Cash Equivalent
Investments as the Initial Lender (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may from time
to time designate; and
(vi) all deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be in U.S. Dollars and in
immediately available funds.
Section 3.8 Set-Off; Sharing of Payments. (a) Without limiting any of the obligations
of the Borrower or the Guarantor or the rights of the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, if the Borrower or the Guarantor shall fail to pay when due (whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) any amount payable by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
then (to the extent not in violation of Applicable Law) the Lenders are hereby
23
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without prior
notice to the Borrower or the Guarantor (which notice is expressly waived by it to the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in any currency,
matured or unmatured) at any time held or any other obligations owing by such Lender or any
Subsidiary, Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or account of the Borrower or
the Guarantor, as applicable. Such Lender shall promptly provide notice to the Borrower or the
Guarantor, as applicable, of such set-off; provided, that failure by such Lender to provide
such notice to the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall not give the Borrower or the
Guarantor, as applicable, any cause of action or right to damages or affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of such Lender under this Section 3.8 are in addition to any
other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, any other rights of set-off) that such
Lender may have
(b) If any other Lender shall obtain from the Borrower or the Guarantor payment of any
principal of or interest on the Loans, or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or
similar right or for any other reason, and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have
received a percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due
under the Loan Documents in excess of such Lender’s share thereof, then it shall promptly notify
the Initial Lender and purchase from the applicable other Lenders participations in (or, if and to
the extent specified by any such other Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other
amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lender (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be)
in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable, to the
end that all the applicable Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any
expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro
rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts,
respectively, owing to each Lender under the Loan Documents. To such end, each such Lender shall
make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise)
if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 3.8 shall require any Lender to exercise any such right
or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any
such right with respect to any other Debt or obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantor.
ARTICLE IV
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 4.1 Additional Costs. (a) If the adoption or effectiveness of any Applicable
Law, or any change in any Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation, administration
or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (in
each case above, at any time on or after the date hereof), shall impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal
Reserve System), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
24
by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose upon any Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its
obligation to make or maintain its Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining its Loans, or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (other than Taxes), then the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount(s) as will compensate such Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) for such increased cost or reduction.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or effectiveness of any Applicable
Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation, administration or application thereof, or compliance by it (or its Applicable
Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) of any Governmental Authority (in each case above, at any time on or after the date
hereof), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or
its parent or Applicable Lending Office) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or
its Loans to a level below that which such Lender (or its parent or Applicable Lending Office)
could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive, then upon written demand
by such Lender, the Borrower, from time to time, shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as
will compensate such Lender (or its parent or Applicable Lending Office, as the case may be) for
such reduction.
(c) Any Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge that
will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 and shall provide the
Borrower with reasonable detail as to the basis of such Lender’s claim to compensation hereunder
and method for calculating such compensation. Before giving any such notice, such Lender shall
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation: (i) will avoid the need for,
or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (ii) will not, in the good faith judgment of such
Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender. A notice of a Lender claiming compensation under this
Section 4.1 and providing the information set forth above within the time set forth above shall be
conclusive evidence of its entitlement to such compensation and shall be binding upon the Borrower
in the absence of manifest error and such amounts shall be payable by the Borrower promptly (and,
in any event, within five (5) Business Days) after receipt of such notice (or, if such compensation
relates to future dates, by no later than the applicable dates indicated in such notice).
Section 4.2 Substitute Basis. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period
(an “Affected Interest Period”), the Majority Lenders determine that the LIBO Rate for such
Affected Interest Period will not be adequate to cover the cost to Lenders of making or maintaining
Loans for such Affected Interest Period, then each affected Lender shall determine (and shall
certify from time to time in a certificate delivered by such Lender to the Initial Lender and the
Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such amount), which
determination shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner, the substitute rate basis
reflecting the cost to such Lender of funding its Loans for the Affected Interest Period, and such
substitute rate basis (the “Substitute Rate”) shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall
apply in lieu of the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period in the absence of manifest error and the
25
Loans shall bear interest from the first day of the Affected Interest Period at the Substitute Rate
plus the Applicable Margin.
Section 4.3 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
adoption or effectiveness of or any change in any Applicable Law or in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority (in each case, at any time on
or after the date hereof) shall make it (or be asserted by it to be) unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain its Loans hereunder (and, in
the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either
not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower, following which notice, if such Applicable Law shall so mandate, such
Lender’s Loans shall be prepaid by the Borrower, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon
and all other amounts payable to such Lender by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, on or before
such date as shall be mandated by such Applicable Law; provided that if it is lawful for such
Lender to maintain its Loans until the Interest Payment Date, then such payment shall be made on
the Interest Payment Date. Any such funds so prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Section 4.4 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall pay to any Lender, upon the request of
such Lender, such amount as shall be sufficient (in the opinion of such Lender) to compensate such
Lender for any loss, cost or expense excluding the loss of any anticipated profits, but including
any such loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained by
such Lender to fund its Loans that bear interest based upon the LIBO Rate, or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained that such Lender determines is
attributable to:
(a) any optional or mandatory prepayment (including as a result of an acceleration due to an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1) of such Loans for any reason on a date other than the
last day of an Interest Period or the Maturity Date;
(b) the failure by the Borrower to borrow the Loans from the Initial Lender for any reason
(including the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Article V to be satisfied or
waived) on the Closing Date or the Second Borrowing Date; or
(c) any failure to prepay such Loans in accordance with a notice of prepayment under Section
3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable.
Any Lender shall furnish to the Borrower a notice setting forth the basis and amount of each
request by such Lender for compensation under this Section 4.4, which notice shall provide
reasonable detail as to the calculation of such loss, cost or expense, and shall be conclusive
evidence of its entitlement to such compensation and shall be binding upon the Borrower in the
absence of manifest error and such amounts shall be payable by the Borrower promptly (and, in any
event, within five (5) Business Days) after receipt of such notice (or, if such compensation
relates to future dates, by no later than the applicable dates indicated in such notice).
Section 4.5 Taxes.
(a) Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, all payments by or at the direction of the
Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Loans, and fees and all other
26
amounts payable under the Loan Documents by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender,
including amounts payable under clauses (b) and (c), shall be made free and clear of and without
reduction or liability for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against, and reimburse each Lender on demand for,
any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 4.5) paid by such Lender and any loss, liability, claim or
expense, including interest, penalties and legal fees, arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any such amounts payable to
any Lender to the extent attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of
clause (e) below. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date any
Lender provides certification setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the payment of such
Indemnified Taxes and the amount thereof.
(c) If any Person (including the Borrower) making a payment under the Loan Documents on behalf
of the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law or otherwise to deduct or withhold any Taxes
from any amounts payable to any Lender, under or in respect of the Loans or Loan Documents, then
(i) such Person shall deduct or withhold and pay such Taxes in accordance with such Applicable Law
or otherwise and (ii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall promptly pay the
Lender entitled to such amount such additional amounts as may be required, after the deduction or
withholding of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes on any such additional
amounts), to enable such Lender to receive on the due date therefor an amount equal to the full
amount stated to be payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender to the
extent attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of clause (e) of this
Section 4.5 below.
(d) Upon the payment of Indemnified Taxes to any Governmental Authority required under this
Section 4.5, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender, within thirty (30) days after the
date that such payment is made, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof or, if such original or copy of a receipt is not available from the relevant taxing
authority, other documentation of payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.
(e) Each Lender that is entitled under Applicable Law to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax with respect to any payments made by (or on behalf of) the Borrower pursuant to the
Loan Documents agrees (or shall be deemed to have agreed) to comply with any certification,
identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if: (i) such compliance
is required by Applicable Law as a precondition to such exemption or reduction and (ii) at least
thirty (30) days before the first date with respect to which the Borrower shall apply this
paragraph with respect to such requirement, the Borrower shall have notified the relevant Lender
that such Lender will be required to comply with such requirement; provided that compliance
with any such requirement shall not apply to the extent that it would require disclosure by any
Lender of information that such Lender in good faith considers to be confidential or otherwise
materially disadvantageous to disclose, would expose such Lender to any unindemnified cost, risk or
expense or be disadvantageous to it.
27
(f) Should a Lender become subject to Indemnified Taxes and not be entitled to receive
additional amounts or to be indemnified because of its failure to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (e) of this Section 4.5, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall
reasonably request at the expense of such Lender to assist such Lender to recover such Indemnified
Taxes.
(g) If the Borrower reasonably determines that any Indemnified Taxes as to which it made a
payment of additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (c) were erroneously assessed, then
the Borrower may notify such Lender of its determination thereof (along with a detailed description
of the reason why the Borrower believes that such Indemnified Taxes were erroneously assessed) and
request that such Lender refund to the Borrower the amount of such additional amounts. Upon its
receipt of any such notice, and if such Lender determines (in good faith) that the Borrower’s
determination with respect to such matter is correct, then such Lender shall (at the request and
expense of the Borrower) reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in seeking a refund from the
appropriate Governmental Authority of any such Indemnified Taxes erroneously assessed by, and paid
to, such Governmental Authority.
(h) The Borrower agrees to pay all present and future stamp, transfer (except for transfer
taxes, if any, imposed on an assignment pursuant to Section 9.8 of this Agreement), court or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies and any related
interest or penalties incidental thereto imposed by any taxing authority that arise from any
payment made by (or on behalf of) the Borrower under the Loan Documents, from the execution,
delivery, enforcement or registration of the Loan Documents or from any filing, registration or
recording contemplated by the Loan Documents, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents.
(i) If any Lender receives any refund of any Indemnified Taxes from the authority to which
such Indemnified Taxes were paid which it determines in its reasonable discretion is attributable
to Indemnified Taxes for which the Borrower has paid any additional amounts or indemnified amounts
pursuant to this Section 4.5, then such Lender shall repay such refund with any interest received
thereto, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender; provided, however, that the
Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund or any portion thereof (plus penalties, interest or
other charges) upon notice from such Lender that such refund or any portion thereof is required to
be repaid to the relevant Governmental Authority. No Lender shall be obligated to disclose its tax
return or any other information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in
connection with this clause (i) or any other provision of this Section 4.5.

Code.

the Loan Documents, that any Lender be licensed or qualified with any Brazilian Governmental
Authority, as applicable, or be entitled to carry on business in any jurisdiction.
(c) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Borrower and delivered to the Initial Lender
(or its counsel) in connection with the Loans and this Agreement shall be deemed a representation
and warranty by the Borrower, as to matters covered thereby, to each Lender.

party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications
hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
Any agreement herein of the Lenders to receive certain notices by telephone, facsimile or
other unsigned method is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrower. The Lenders
shall (absent gross negligence or bad faith) be entitled to rely upon the authority of any Person
purporting to be authorized by the Borrower to give any such notice and the Lenders shall not have
any liability to the Borrower or any other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by
the Lenders in reliance upon any such notice.
Section 9.4 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay or reimburse
from time to time upon request: (i) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, charges
and disbursements of the Lenders and the Advisors (including fees of the Advisors) in connection
with the preparation of the Loan Documents including, without limitation, all collateral review,
search, filing, recording fees, printing, reproduction, document production and delivery,
communication, travel and due diligence costs incurred in connection with: (x) the negotiation,
preparation, review, translation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the documents and instruments prepared in connection herewith or in anticipation
hereof and (y) the negotiation or preparation of any modification, amendment, supplement or waiver
of any of the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether or not consummated),
(ii) all reasonable and documented fees of and out of pocket expenses incurred by any Advisor in
connection with the preparation or implementation of the Closing (including, without limitation,
the perfection of the Collateral) and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) of the Lenders in connection
with (x) the administration of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, the enforcement of the
Collateral, any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from the occurrence of an Event of
Default, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
proceedings affecting creditors’ rights generally and (y) the negotiation or preparation of any
modification, amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (whether or not consummated); provided that, with respect to the expenses, charges
and disbursements expenses referred to in clause (i)(x) (excluding any fees, charges, disbursements
and expenses of the Advisors), the
54
Initial Lender agrees that such expenses, charges and disbursements under this Agreement and the
Bridge Facility shall not exceed U.S.$50,000 in the aggregate.
(b) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender, each of its Affiliates and its and
their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and agents (each an
“indemnified person”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages,
disbursements or expenses (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claim) incurred by any
of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of any
investigation, litigation, arbitration or other proceeding (whether or not the indemnified person
is a party thereto) (including any threatened investigation, litigation, arbitration or other
proceeding) relating to the Loan Documents and/or the use or proposed use by the Borrower of the
proceeds of the Loans or the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein or in any other
Loan Document, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred
in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceedings (but excluding any such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred with respect to Taxes (for which a
separate indemnity is provided in Section 4.5(b)) or by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Person to be indemnified, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction). In no event shall the Borrower or any Lender be liable to any
Person for any punitive or consequential damages in connection with any of the Loan Documents,
except that the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any punitive or consequential damages
which are incurred by any Lender in connection with any third-party judgment imposed on such Lender
in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(c) To the extent that any undertaking in clause (b) may be unenforceable if it would violate
any Applicable Law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is
permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of such
undertaking. Borrower agrees that if any indemnification sought by an indemnified person pursuant
to this Agreement is held by a court to be unavailable for any reason, Borrower will contribute to
the losses, claims, damages, liabilities, awards, costs and expenses for which such indemnification
is held unavailable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to
Borrower and its subsidiaries, affiliates and stockholders, on the one hand, and such indemnified
person, on the other hand, in connection with the Loans subject to the limitation that in any event
the aggregate contribution by any indemnified person to all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
awards, costs and expenses with respect to which contribution is available hereunder will not
exceed the amount of fees actually received by such indemnified person pursuant to this Agreement
or (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) above is for any reason held
unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of Borrower and its subsidiaries,
affiliates and stockholders on the one hand, and such indemnified person, on the other hand, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits
to Borrower and its subsidiaries, affiliates and stockholders, on the one hand, and an indemnified
person, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as (x) the total proceeds paid to or proposed to be paid to Borrower under the Loans
bears to (y) the amount of fees actually paid to such indemnified person in connection with the
Loans.
55
(d) All amounts payable or indemnifiable under this Article IX shall be immediately due and
payable on demand. All amounts paid and costs incurred by any Lender in respect to any matter
payable or indemnifiable under this Section 9.4 shall, if not so paid or reimbursed by the Borrower
before the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower was requested
in writing to make such payment, be an Event of Default and bear interest from the date of such
request at the Default Rate. The provisions of, and the obligations of the Borrower under, this
Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.5 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto;
provided that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower may not assign or
transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such prior written
consent shall be null and void ab initio).
Section 9.6 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and (except as specifically provided
therein) any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in
any event become effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the
Majority Lenders (or the Initial Lender upon written instruction of the Majority Lenders);
provided that:
(a) no amendment, supplement or waiver, unless by an instrument signed by all Lenders shall
(i) extend the date fixed (or the currency) for the payment of principal of or interest on any Loan
or any fee payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, (ii) reduce the amount of any payment
of principal or any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document or (iii) reduce the rate
at which interest is payable thereon or any fee is payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents;
and
(b) no amendment, supplement or waiver, unless by an instrument signed by all Lenders shall:
(i) alter the terms of Section 3.8(b) or the terms of this Section 9.6, (ii) release (x) all or any
portion of the Collateral or (y) the Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement (except, in each case,
as expressly otherwise provided in the Loan Documents), (iii) release the Borrower or the Guarantor
from any payment obligation or indemnity under any Loan Document or modify any of the defined terms
included therein or (iv) modify the definition of the term “Majority Lenders” or modify in any
other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive
any rights under the Loan Documents or to modify any provision thereof.
Section 9.7 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made and entered into for the
sole protection and legal benefit of the parties hereto, the Lenders and their permitted successors
and assigns and, to the extent provided herein, the Affiliates of the Lenders, and no other Person
shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action
or claim in connection with, this Agreement.
56
Section 9.8 Assignments and Participations.
(a) The Lenders may, in accordance with Applicable Law and this Section 9.8, assign their
Loans or any portion thereof to any other Person by execution of an Assignment Agreement;
provided that:
(i) any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender) shall be in an amount
at least equal to U.S.$1,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess
thereof (or, if less, all of such Lender’s remaining Loans);
(ii) upon each such assignment, the assignor and assignee shall deliver a copy of an
Assignment Agreement to the Borrower; and
(iii) the Initial Lender may not assign its obligations under this Agreement to make
the Loans required to be made by it hereunder, it being understood however that, the
Initial Lender shall be permitted to assign all or any portion of the Loans made on the
Closing Date, from and after the Closing Date, at any time, subject to compliance with this
Section 9.8.
(b) Upon the effective date of the assignment to be effected by an Assignment Agreement, the
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the obligations, rights and benefits of a
Lender hereunder holding the Loan (or portion thereof) assigned to it and specified in such
Assignment Agreement (in addition to the Loan, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the
assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment of its Loan, be released from the Loan (or
portion thereof) so assigned; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing at the time of such assignment, such assignee shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Article IV than the assignor would have been able to receive as of the
time of the assignment to the assignee, except if such assignment is made with the Borrower’s prior
written consent or to the extent such greater payment results from a change in law following the
time of such assignment. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the Borrower shall promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and (no later
than two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof) give notice of such acceptance to the
assigning Lender, its assignee and the Guarantor. Any assignment in contravention of the provisions
of this Section 9.8 shall be null and void ab initio.
(c) Upon the request of the assigning Lender and presentment of its existing Note(s), the
Borrower shall execute and deliver, in any event within seven (7) Business Days after its receipt
of such notice, at the Borrower’s expense, one (1) or more new Notes (as requested by the holder
thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
the surrendered Note(s). Each such new Note shall be dated the effective date of the Assignment
Agreement and in such principal amount and be payable to such Person as such holder may request and
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear
interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the relevant surrendered Note(s)
or dated the date of the relevant surrendered Note(s) if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
Notes shall not be issued or transferred in denominations of less than U.S.$1,000,000;

57
(d) If any Lender assigns all or a part of its Loans and its rights and obligations hereunder
to any other Person pursuant to the provisions hereof, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of
its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned Loan (or portion thereof) and Notes, and the
assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that Loans and Notes and such other rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned, shall acquire such Loan and Note and other rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and this Agreement shall be
deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the transfer and assignment of such rights
and obligations and the addition of such assignee, and any reference to the assigning Lender in
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Notes of such Lender shall thereafter refer to such
Lender and to such assignee to the extent of their respective interests.
(e) Upon receipt by the Borrower of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of
and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Notes, and
(i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to each of the Borrower and the Lenders; or
(ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,
the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and
bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Notes or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if
no interest shall have been paid thereon.
(f) Each Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, without the consent of any Person,
sell or agree to sell to one (1) or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a
participation in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided
that such Participant shall not have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (the
Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in
the agreements executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant). All amounts payable to such
Lender under Article IV in respect of the Loans held by it or its Notes, shall be determined as if
such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participation in such Loan or Notes and as if such
Lender were funding such Loans in the same way that it is funding the portion of such Loans in
which no participations have been sold (or if all of its Loans have been so participated, in the
same way that it was funding such Loans at the time of such participation).
(g) In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions
of this Section 9.8, any Lender may (without notice or consent of any other Person and without
payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to any U.S. Federal
Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the U.S.
Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such
assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(h) Each Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this Section 9.8, disclose to the assignee or participant or
58
proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower or the Guarantor
furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantor; provided that before any
such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to
preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrower received by
it from such Lender on the terms set forth in Section 9.21.
(i) Subject to clause (f) above, in the event that the Initial Lender syndicates all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans
at the time owing to it) by assignment, the Initial Lender agrees to serve as administrative agent
such that the Borrower will not be obligated to communicate with such assignees but instead can
provide all information, notices and other communications to the Initial Lender only;
provided, that the Borrower shall execute and deliver any amendments to the Loan Documents
or any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to such syndication and
to provide for the administration of this Agreement after giving effect thereto, including standard
administrative agent indemnifications.
Section 9.9 Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall
survive the repayment of the Loan. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to
be made, by the Borrower herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation
and warranty.
Section 9.10 Captions. The table of contents and captions and Section headings
appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect
the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one (1) and
the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such
counterpart.
Section 9.12 Governing Law. Except for the Security Documents (other than the Control
Agreement), the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement) shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to
any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction). For the purposes of Article 9, paragraph 2, of Brazilian Decree-Law No. 4,657 dated
September 4, 1942, as amended, and for no other purpose or reason whatsoever, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement have been proposed by the Initial Lender.
Section 9.13 Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Venue.
(a) EXCEPT FOR LEGAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN RELATION TO THE BRAZIL MORTGAGE, WHICH SHALL BE
SUBMITTED BY ANY PARTY HERETO TO A COMPETENT COURT IN BRAZIL, ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY OR
AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO OR WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN OR REMOVED TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY
OF NEW YORK, OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN
59
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (IN EACH CASE SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN). BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY
OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS (AND COURTS OF APPEALS THEREFROM) FOR
LEGAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, WHICH JURISDICTION SHALL BE EXCLUSIVE IN THE CASE OF ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY
THE BORROWER (OTHER THAN COUNTERCLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT
AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION). THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE
APPOINTMENT OF THE PROCESS AGENT (AS DEFINED BELOW) AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS
(WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL OTHER RELATED AGREEMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY)
IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation (the “Process Agent”),
with an office on the date hereof at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as
its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept on its behalf
service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process that may be served in any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of New York, and agrees that the failure of the
Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair or affect
the validity of such service or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the enforcement of any
judgment based thereon. Such appointment shall be irrevocable until the final payment of all
amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that if for any reason
the Process Agent appointed hereby ceases to be able to act as such, then the Borrower shall, by an
instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, appoint another Person in the Borough of
Manhattan as such Process Agent subject to the approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) of the Lenders. The Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all
reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be
necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent pursuant to this paragraph in full force
and effect and to cause the Process Agent to act as such.
(c) Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of any Lender to serve any
process or summons in any manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over any
Person in such other jurisdictions, including but not limited to Brazil, and in such manner, as may
be permitted by Applicable Law.
(d) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents brought in or removed to New York City (and courts of
appeals therefrom) and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment
(in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall
be conclusive and may be enforced by suit upon judgment in any court in any jurisdiction to which
the applicable Person is or may be subject.
(e) The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any
claim that any action or proceeding commenced against it relating in any way to this
60
Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Document(s) should be dismissed or stayed by reason, or
pending the resolution, of any action or proceeding commenced by the Borrower relating in any way
to this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, whether or not commenced earlier. To the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall take all measures necessary for any such
action or proceeding commenced against it to proceed to judgment before the entry of judgment in
any such action or proceeding commenced by the Borrower.
Section 9.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY
ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING
THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS
WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING THAT
SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION THEREOF. THE AGREEMENT OF EACH PARTY HERETO TO THIS PROVISION IS
A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING
(OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.14 AND
EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT IS A PARTY IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR
PROCEEDING), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER
DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT WAIVED
IN WRITING AS SET FORTH ABOVE. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A
WRITTEN CONSENT TO TRIAL BY THE COURT.
Section 9.15 Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Borrower may be or become
entitled to claim for itself or its Property any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or the like
from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment before judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a
judgment or execution of a judgment, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be
attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), it hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and
hereby irrevocably waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.
Section 9.16 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the
specification of U.S. Dollars and payment in New York City is of the essence, and the obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to each Lender to make payment in
U.S. Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any
judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency or in another place
61
except to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt of any sum adjudged to be so due in
the Judgment Currency the payee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S.
Dollars in the amount originally due to the payee with the Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose
of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in U.S. Dollars
into another currency (in this Section called the “Judgment Currency”), then the rate of
exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures
the payee could purchase such U.S. Dollars at New York, New York with the Judgment Currency on the
Business Day preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligations of the Borrower
in respect of any such sum due from it to the payee hereunder (in this Section called an
“Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in
rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Judgment Currency
such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer U.S.
Dollars to New York City with the amount of the Judgment Currency so adjudged to be due; and the
Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to
indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in U.S. Dollars,
the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in U.S. Dollars
hereunder exceeds the amount of the U.S. Dollars so purchased and transferred. If the amount of
U.S. Dollars so purchased and transferred to the Entitled Person exceeds the amount originally due
to such Entitled Person, then such Entitled Person shall transfer, or caused to be transferred, to
the Borrower the amount of such excess.
Section 9.17 Use of English Language. This Agreement has been negotiated and executed
in the English language. Except as specified otherwise herein all certificates, reports, notices
and other documents and communications given or delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including any modifications or supplements hereto or thereto) shall be in the
English language, or accompanied by an English translation thereof.
Section 9.18 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute
the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Section 9.19 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of
any provision hereof or of any document required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair
the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other document
in such jurisdiction or such provision in any other jurisdiction.

no Lender has any fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, the Borrower arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents. The Borrower recognizes that

the Borrower, its shareholders and/or its Affiliates. The Borrower agrees that the relationship
between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, in connection herewith or
therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor and that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise
shall be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other
implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the
62
Borrower, its shareholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Nothing contained in this Agreement or
in any other Loan Document shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership; tenancy in common,
joint tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between any Lender on the one hand, and any
other Lender, the Borrower or any other Person.
The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other and
(b) in connection therewith and with the negotiation of the Loan Documents, (i) no Lender has
assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its shareholders or its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or
remedies with respect thereto) or the negotiation of the Loan Documents (irrespective of whether
any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its shareholders or its
Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and
not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other
Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial
advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own
independent judgment with respect to such transactions the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that the Lenders have rendered advisory
services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in
connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. No Lender shall in any way be
responsible or liable for the debts, losses, obligations or duties of the Borrower or any other
Person other than itself.
Section 9.21 Confidentiality. The Lenders agree to hold all Confidential Information
obtained pursuant to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with
their customary procedures for handling such information of this nature and in accordance with safe
and sound banking practices; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Lenders from

or any other Lender solely in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby, (b) upon the order of any court or administrative agency or otherwise to the extent
required by Applicable Law, (c) to bank examiners or upon the request or demand of any other
regulatory agency or authority, (d) that had been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a
disclosure by the Lenders prohibited by this Agreement, (e) in connection with any litigation to
which any one (1) or more of the Lenders (in each case, including to any of its respective
employees, counsel, representatives or other agents) is a party, or in connection with the exercise
of any remedy hereunder or under the, other Loan Documents, (f) to the Lenders’ legal counsel and
independent auditors and accountants, (g) that was in the Lenders’ possession prior to the

not known to the Lenders to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower with respect
to such information, (h) that is developed by the Lenders independently of and without reference to
any Confidential Information, (i) that is identified by the Borrower in writing as no longer to be
considered “Confidential Information”, (j) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee;
provided that any actual or proposed participant or assignee has signed an agreement
containing provisions substantially similar to or at least as restrictive as those contained in
this Section 9.21 (including by cross reference to obligations of the Lenders), and (k) to any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any securitization, swap or
63
derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and the Loan Documents that has signed an agreement
containing provisions substantially similar to or at least as restrictive as those contained in
this Section 9.21 (including by cross reference to obligations of the Lenders); provided
further that, (i) in the case of a disclosure of the type referred to in clauses (b), (c)
and (e) above, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptly notify the
Borrower of such intended disclosure so that the Borrower may take appropriate action to protect
their respective interests and (ii) each Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential on
substantially the same terms as provided herein.

various parties thereto, their respective shareholders and such Persons’ board of directors (or
similar body), officers, Affiliates, employees or professional advisors, or as may be required by
Applicable Law, may not be disclosed in whole or in part by the Borrower to any other Person
without the prior written consent of the Initial Lender (acting upon the direction of the Majority
Lenders); provided that the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the
information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the
lending industry, and service providers to the Lenders in connection with the administration and
management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

behalf of the Lenders, hereby notifies each party hereto that, pursuant to the requirements of the
Patriot Act, the Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each
such party, which information includes the name and address of each such party and other reasonable
information that will allow the Lenders to identify such party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

a certified translator, when needed; (ii) the registration of the Facility, the
Control Agreement and/or the Mortgage Deed with the appropriate Registries;
and (iii) court costs, which may be due; |
|
|
6.14. |
|
payment of principal arising under the Facility, the Control Agreement or
Promissory Notes is not subject to withholding or deduction for or on account
of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in Brazil. Payments
of interest or other amounts deemed similar to income generated from
borrowed funds by Brazilian tax law arising from payment under the Facility,
the Control Agreement or the Promissory Notes will be subject to Brazilian
withholding tax at (i) the general rate of 15%; or (ii) at a rate up to 25% if the
beneficiary of such payments is located in a tax haven jurisdiction, as defined |
6
|
|
|
by Brazilian tax law; or (iii) other lower rate if provided in a tax treaty between
Brazil and the country where the recipient of the income is resident; |
|
|
6.15. |
|
the choice of New York law as the governing law of the Facility, the Control
Agreement and the Promissory Notes is valid, binding and enforceable under
Brazilian law and should be recognized and given effect by the courts of Brazil
to the extent that such laws are not deemed to be against Brazilian national
sovereignty, public policy or good morals; |
|
|
6.16. |
|
the Borrower has the power to designate, appoint and empower, and pursuant
to Section 9.13(b) of the Facility, has legally, validly and effectively designated,
appointed and empowered an authorized agent as its agent for service of
process in any suit or proceeding based on or arising under the Facility in any
State or federal court in the City of New York, New York; |
|
|
6.17. |
|
the provisions in the Facility, the Control Agreement and the Promissory Notes
as to the non-exclusive submission of the Borrower to the Courts of the State
of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of
New York, in any action under the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a
party are valid, binding and enforceable against the Borrower under Brazilian
law; |
|
|
6.18. |
|
any judgment obtained in the courts of the State of New York in respect of the
Facility, the Control Agreement or the Promissory Notes would be recognized
and enforced by courts in Brazil without re-examination of the issues provided
that such judgment has been previously ratified by the Superior Court of
Justice of Brazil (Superior Tribunal de Justiça). In order to be ratified by the
Superior Court of Justice of Brazil, a foreign judgment must meet the following
conditions: (i) it must comply with all formalities necessary for the
enforcement under the laws of the place where it was issued; (ii) it must have
been given by a competent court after proper service of process on the
parties; (iii) it must not be subject to appeal; (iv) it must not offend Brazilian
national sovereignty, public policy or good morals; and (v) it must be duly
authenticated by a competent Brazilian consulate and be accompanied by a
certified translation (tradução pública juramentada) thereof in Portuguese; |
|
|
6.19. |
|
any judgment obtained against the Borrower in the courts of Brazil in respect
of any sums payable under the Facility, the Control Agreement, the Promissory
Notes or by virtue of enforcement of the Mortgage Deed, would be expressed
in Brazilian currency equivalent to the amount in US Dollars at the commercial
rate prevailing on the date such payment is actually made; |
7
|
6.20. |
|
neither the Borrower nor any of its assets (including the Takuare farm)
is
entitled to immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise 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) in connection therewith, arising under the Specified
Transactions. The Specified Transactions constitute private and commercial
acts done and performed for commercial purposes; and |
|
|
6.21. |
|
the obligations of the Borrower under the Facility, the Control Agreement and
the Promissory Notes to which it is a party are direct and unconditional general
obligations of the Borrower and rank at least pari passu with all other present
and future secured debt of the Borrower. |
7. |
|
The opinions set forth above are, however, subject to certain qualifications, namely: |
|
7.1. |
|
in case of bankruptcy or liquidation of the Borrower certain credits, such as
labor credits of up to an amount of 150 base wages (salários mínimos) per
labor credit have preference over unsecured credits; |
|
|
7.2. |
|
in case of proceedings instituted against the Borrower in Brazil, certain court
costs and deposits to guarantee judgment may be due; |
|
|
7.3. |
|
in the case of any proceeding instituted against the Borrower, service of
process upon the Borrower, if made in Brazil, must be effected in accordance
with Brazilian law. |
8. |
|
This opinion is addressed to you solely for your benefit. It is not to be transmitted to
anyone else nor is it to be relied upon by anyone else or for any other purpose or
quoted or referred to in any public document or filled with anyone without our
expressed consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a copy of this opinion may be
furnished to, and relied upon by, any of your permitted assignees under the Facility
that becomes a lender after the date of this opinion. |
|
9. |
|
We express no opinion as to any agreement, instrument or other document other than
as specified in this opinion. This opinion is given based on the fact that there will be no
amendment to or termination or replacement or the documents, authorization,
consents and opinions referred to herein and on the Brazilian laws in force as at the
date of this opinion. This opinion is also given based on the fact that we undertake no
responsibility to notify any addressee of this opinion of any change in Brazilian law
after the date of this opinion. |

EXHIBIT F
FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF U.S. COUNSEL TO THE BORROWER
July 30, 2010
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch,
as Initial Lender under the Loan Agreement referred to below.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special New York counsel to Xxxxxxxx Agroenergia Ltda. (the
“
Borrower”) and Adecoagro LLC (the “
Guarantor”) in connection with the
Senior
Secured Loan Facility dated as of July 28, 2010 (the “
Loan Agreement”) between the Borrower
and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Initial Lender (the “
Initial Lender”, and together
with its successors and permitted assigns and any other bank, financial institution or other person
that becomes a Lender after the date of the Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 9.8 thereof, the
“
Lenders”). Terms defined in the Loan Agreement have the same respective defined meanings
when used herein.
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined:
|
(a) |
|
an executed copy of the Loan Agreement; |
|
|
(b) |
|
an executed copy of the Guarantee Agreement; |
|
|
(c) |
|
an executed copy of the Control Agreement; |
|
|
(d) |
|
the financing statement naming the Borrower as debtor and
naming the
Initial Lender as secured party for filing in the office of the District of
Columbia Recorder of Deeds in the form attached hereto as Schedule I
(the “Financing Statement”); |
|
|
(e) |
|
the promissory note issued to the Initial Lender in
substantially the
form attached hereto as Schedule II (the “Promissory Note” and, |
2
|
|
|
together with the Loan Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Control
Agreement, the “Opinion Documents”); and |
|
|
(f) |
|
such records of the Guarantor and such other documents as we
have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. |
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all
documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we
have relied upon certificates of public officials and representations made in or pursuant to the
Opinion Documents or in certificates delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantor.
We have also assumed, except to the extent explicitly set forth below as to the Borrower and the
Guarantor, as applicable, that each of the Opinion Documents has been duly authorized by, and has
been duly executed and delivered by, and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of, all of the parties thereto, that all signatories thereto have been duly authorized
and that all such parties are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority
(corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform the same, and that all authorizations,
approvals or consents of (including without limitation all foreign exchange control approvals), and
all filings or registrations with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of Brazil
(including the central bank of Brazil) required for the making and performance by the Borrower of
the Loan Agreement and the Control Agreement have been obtained or made and are in effect.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications
set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis
for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that:
(1) The Guarantor is a limited liability company validly existing and
in good standing under the law of the State of Delaware.
(2) The Guarantor
(a) has the limited liability company power to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement,
(b) has taken all necessary limited liability company action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Guarantee Agreement, and
(c) has duly executed and delivered the Guarantee Agreement.
(3) (a) Each of the Loan Agreement and the Control Agreement
constitutes, and the Promissory Note when duly executed and delivered for value will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and (b) the Guarantee
Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, in each case
enforceable against the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with its
3
terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or
transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
generally, and to the possible judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental action
affecting the rights of creditors generally, and except as the enforceability thereof is subject to
the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law), including without limitation (i) the possible unavailability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (ii) concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
(4) The execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Guarantor of
the Opinion Documents to which they are a party do not, and the performance by the
Borrower and the Guarantor of their respective obligations thereunder will not,
(a) violate any Federal law of the United States or any law of
the State of New York, or any rule or regulation thereunder that, in each
case, in our experience, is customarily recognized to apply to transactions
of the kind contemplated by the Opinion Documents, or
(b) require any authorization, approval or consent of, or any
filing or registration with any governmental authority under any Federal
law of the United States or any law of the State of New York, or any rule
or regulation thereunder.
(5) The execution and delivery by the Guarantor of the Guarantee
Agreement do not, and the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations thereunder
will not, result in a violation of the Guarantor’s Organizational Documents.
(6) The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Agreement
do not, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations thereunder will not,
breach or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument listed on Schedule
III hereto (the “Specified Contracts”).
(7) Section 3.7(a) of the Loan Agreement is effective to create, in favor of
the Initial Lender, for the benefit of the Lenders, a valid security interest under the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “NY UCC”) in the
Debt Service Reserve Account and any and all investment property (as defined in § 9-102(a)(49) of the NY UCC) (collectively, the “Collateral”), provided that (a) such
security interest will continue in the Collateral after disposition thereof and in any
proceeds (as defined in § 9-102(a)(64) of the NY UCC) thereof only to the extent
provided in § 9-315 of the NY UCC and (b) such security interest in any portion of the
Collateral in which the Borrower acquires rights after the commencement of a case under
the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in
respect of the Borrower may be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(8) The security interest created by Section 3.7(a) of the Loan
4
Agreement in the Collateral has been perfected by the execution and delivery of the
Control Agreement by the parties thereto.
(9) If the jurisdiction where the Borrower’s place of business or (if the
Borrower has more than one place of business) chief executive office is located (the
“Borrower’s UCC Jurisdiction”) constitutes a filing jurisdiction as hereinafter
defined (as
to which we express no opinion) under § 9-301 of the NY UCC, the local law of the
Borrower’s UCC Jurisdiction governs perfection, the effect of perfection or
nonperfection and the priority of the security interest created by Section 3.7(a) of the
Loan Agreement in the Collateral of a type that may be perfected by the filing of a
financing statement (such Collateral, “Filing Collateral”). If the Borrower’s UCC
Jurisdiction does not constitute a filing jurisdiction as hereinafter defined, (i) the
Borrower will be deemed to be located in the District of Columbia for purposes of Article
9 of the NY UCC, (ii) under § 9-301 of the NY UCC, the local law of the District of
Columbia governs perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection and the priority of
the security interest created by Section 3.7(a) of the Loan Agreement in the Filing
Collateral and (iii) pursuant to § 9-501 of the DC UCC (as defined below), the filing of
the Financing Statement in the office of the District of Columbia Recorder of Deeds will
cause such security interest to be perfected. As used herein, “filing jurisdiction”
means a
jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of a
nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, recording or
registration system as a condition or result of the security interest’s taking priority over
the rights of a lien creditor (as defined in § 9-102(a)(52) of the NY UCC) with respect to
the Collateral.
(10) The Borrower is not required, nor will it be required after the
making of the Loan and the use of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Loan
Agreement, to register as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(11) The making of the Loan and the application of the proceeds thereof
in accordance with the Loan Agreement will not violate Regulations U or X of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board.
The foregoing opinions are also subject to the following comments and qualifications:
(A) The enforceability of provisions in the Opinion Documents to the
effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited
under certain circumstances.
(B) The enforceability of Sections 9.4(b) and (c) of the Loan Agreement,
and of any similar provision of any other Opinion Document, may be limited by
laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party
from, or requiring indemnification of or contribution to a party for, liability for
its
5
own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross
negligence, recklessness, wilful misconduct or unlawful conduct.
(C) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of any laws of any
jurisdiction in which the Initial Lender is located (other than New York) that
limits the interest, fees or other charges it may impose for the Loan or use of
money or other credit, (ii) Section 3.8(a) of the Loan Agreement or Section 6 of
the Guarantee Agreement (other than Section 4.5 of the Loan Agreement
incorporated by reference therein), (iii) Section 9.13(a) of the Loan Agreement or
Section 16(a) of the Guarantee Agreement insofar as each such Section relates to
the subject-matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Loan
Agreement or the Guarantee Agreement, (iv) the waiver of inconvenient forum
set forth in Section 9.13(d) of the Loan Agreement or Section 16(c) of the
Guarantee Agreement with respect to proceedings in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, (v) Section 9.13(e) of the Loan
Agreement or (vi) Section 9.16 of the Loan Agreement.
(D) We express no opinion as to Section 9.15 of the Loan Agreement or
Section 16(e) of the Guarantee Agreement to the extent it relates to immunity
acquired after the date of execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement or the
Guarantee Agreement, as the case may be.
(E) Section 2 of the Guarantee Agreement may not be enforceable to the
extent that the Obligations (as defined therein) are novated as a result of a
material modification thereof.
(F) For purposes of our opinion in paragraph (6) above, we have assumed
that (i) there are no agreements or understandings, written or oral, among the
parties to any of the Specified Contracts that would alter the plain meaning
thereof, and none of the Specified Contracts has been modified except as
specified on Schedule III hereto. In addition, for purposes of our opinion in
paragraph (6) above, we express no opinion as to any provision of any Specified
Contract to the extent that such opinion would depend upon the making of any
determination of an accounting matter or any computation in respect of a financial
undertaking or condition.
(G) We express no opinion as to the existence of, or the right, title or
interest of the Borrower in, to or under, the Collateral, and except as expressly
provided in paragraphs (7), (8) and (9) above, we express no opinion as to the
creation, perfection or priority of any security interest in, or other lien on, the
Collateral.
(H) We assume that (i) each endorsement, instruction and entitlement order, as such terms are
defined in § 8-102(a) of the NY UCC, is effective in accordance with § 8-107 of the NY UCC and (ii)
the Debt Service Reserve
6
Account is a securities account (as defined in § 8-501 of the NY UCC). We express no
opinion as to the effect of any rule adopted by any clearing corporation, as defined in §
8-102(a) of the NY UCC, governing rights and obligations among such clearing corporation
and its participants. Our opinion with respect to any security entitlement is subject to
Part 5 of Article 8 of the NY UCC, which sets out the rights of an entitlement holder
having a security entitlement against a securities intermediary. We express no opinion as
to the creation, perfection or priority of any security interest in any obligations of the
government of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof except for
obligations subject to the Revised Book-Entry Rules as defined in Annex 1 hereto.
(I) With respect to our opinion in paragraph (9) above, we have assumed that the
Financing Statement will be filed in the appropriate filing office no later than thirty
(30) days after an initial extension of credit under the Loan Agreement.
(J) With respect to our opinion in paragraphs (7), (8) and (9) above, we express no
opinion as to the creation or perfection of any security interest in the Collateral to the
extent that, pursuant to § 9-109(c) or (d) of the NY UCC, Article 9 of the NY UCC does not
apply thereto. With respect to our opinion in paragraph (9) above, we express no opinion as
to the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral to the extent that, pursuant
to § 9-109(c) or (d) of the DC UCC (as defined below), Article 9 of the DC UCC does not
apply thereto.
(K) We wish to point out that the acquisition by the Borrower after the initial
extension of credit under the Loan Agreement of an interest in any property that becomes
subject to the lien of Section 3.7(a) of the Loan Agreement may constitute a voidable
preference under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(L) Our opinions in paragraph (9) above and our related comments and qualifications
above, insofar as they relate to perfection of a security interest under the law of the
District of Columbia, are based solely upon a review of the relevant statutory text of
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as displayed on CCH Research Network and Section
513 of Chapter 5 of Title 9 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations as displayed
on LEXIS/NEXIS on July 28, 2010, without regard to the decisional law thereof (the “DC
UCC”).
The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States,
the law of the State of New York, the Delaware Limited Liability Act and, to the extent expressly
provided in paragraph (L) above, the law of the District of Columbia, and we do not express any
opinion as to the law of any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not hold
ourselves out as experts on, or purport to advise on, the laws of Brazil.
This opinion letter is provided to you by us as special New York counsel to the Borrower and
the Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.1(e)(ii) of the Loan Agreement
7
and may not be relied upon by any other person other than you and your permitted assigns under
the Loan Agreement or for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Agreement without our prior written consent in each instance.
Very truly yours,
MJB/MAM

FORM OF GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
GUARANTEE (the “Guarantee”), dated as of July__, 2010, made by Adecoagro LLC, a
limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (“Guarantor”), in favor of
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (together with its successors and permitted assigns and any other
bank, financial institution or other Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof pursuant to
Section 9.8 of the Loan Agreement referenced below, the “Lenders”).
Reference is herein made to the
Senior Secured Loan Facility dated July__, 2010 (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “
Loan Agreement”) between
Xxxxxxxx Agroenergia Ltda. (the “
Borrower”) and the Lenders, and each promissory note
issued by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the “
Notes”). Any capitalized term
used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan
Agreement.
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and to induce the Lenders to enter into the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor agrees as
follows:
1. Guarantee. The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the punctual
payment and performance when due, whether upon maturity, by mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations (now or hereafter existing) of the Borrower under the
Loan Agreement and the Notes, whether absolute or contingent, and whether for principal,
interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, in each case strictly in accordance with
the
terms thereof (all such obligations being the “Obligations”). If the Borrower fails to pay
any
Obligation in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the
Guarantor will promptly pay the same to the Lenders. The Guarantor will also pay to the
Lenders any and all expenses (including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses)
incurred by the Lenders in enforcing their rights under this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a
guarantee of payment and not merely of collection.
2. Guarantee Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor’s
liability under this Guarantee is unconditional irrespective of (i) any illegality, irregularity,
lack
of validity or enforceability of any Obligation, the Loan Agreement, or this Guarantee (or any
other Loan Document or other agreement or instrument related to any Loan Document), (ii) the
lack of authority of the Borrower to execute or deliver the Loan Agreement, (iii) any waiver or
consent by the Lenders with respect to any provisions of the Loan Agreement or any
compromise or release of any of the obligations thereunder, (iv) the absence of any action to
enforce the Loan Agreement, to recover any judgment against the Borrower or to enforce a
judgment against the Borrower under the Loan Agreement, (v) the occurrence of any Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement, (vi) any amendment, modification, waiver or consent to
departure from the terms of any Obligation, including any renewal or extension of the time or
change of the manner or place of payment, (vii) any exchange, substitution, release, taking,
furnishing, non-perfection or impairment of any collateral securing payment of any Obligation,
(viii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or its
assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Obligation, (ix) the existence of any claim,
set-off or other rights that the Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, the Lenders,
or any other corporation or person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions,
provided that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or
compulsory counterclaim, (x) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other
event, affecting any term of any Obligation or the Lenders’ rights with respect thereto, including,
without limitation: (A) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any
prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of Brazilian reais for U.S. dollars or the
remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of U.S. dollars in any legal
exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice; or (B) a
declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or
the imposition by such jurisdiction or any governmental authority thereof of any moratorium on, the
required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in
such jurisdiction; or (C) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such
country or any governmental authority that directly or indirectly deprives the companies in such
jurisdiction of any payment obligation under any Obligations; or (D) any war (whether or not
declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such
jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (A), (B) or (C) above (in
each of the cases contemplated in clauses (A) through (D) above, to the extent occurring or
existing on or at any time after the date of this Guarantee), and (xi) any other act or omission or
circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or
reliance on any representation by the Lenders that might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower or the Guarantor or any other guarantor or
surety. The rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Guarantee are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by any other agreement or by
law.
In no event shall the Lenders be obligated to take any action, obtain any judgment, or file
any claim prior to enforcing this Guarantee.
It is the intent of this Section 2 that the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are and shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
3. Waiver. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of appearance, notice of
dishonor and any other notice with respect to any Obligation and this Guarantee and any
requirement that the Lenders exercise any right or take any action against the Borrower or any
collateral security or credit support.
4. Reinstatement. This Guarantee will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case
may be, if at any time any payment of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.
5. Subrogation. The Guarantor will not assert, enforce or otherwise exercise any rights
which it may acquire by way of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or
otherwise under this Guarantee, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until payment in
2
full of the Obligations and the termination of any and all agreements under which the
Lenders are committed to provide extensions of credit under the Loan Agreement.
6. Payments. If the Guarantor fails to pay any of its obligations hereunder when due and
payable, the Lenders are authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lenders to
or for the Guarantor’s credit or account against any and all of the Obligations, whether or not the
Lenders have made any demand under this Guarantee. The Lenders will promptly notify the
Guarantor after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice
will
not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The Lenders’ rights under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off)
that
the Lenders may have. The Guarantor agrees that the provisions of Section 4.5 and Section 9.16
of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties
hereto agree to such terms.
7. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants that: (i) it is
duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (ii)
its
execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee are within its corporate powers, have been
