The BANK and the COUNTERPARTY are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Parties” and individually referred to as “Party”.
WHEREAS:
(A) the Parties wish to carry out one or more derivatives transactions, hereinafter referred to as “Transactions”, in the form of flexible options on exchange rates and on goods/commodities, swaps or forward contracts involving currencies and goods/commodities;
(B) the Parties mutually represent that they are completely familiar with the Transactions and that they have comprehensive and specific knowledge of the rules applicable to the market; and
(C) the Parties wish to regulate the general terms and conditions applicable to any and all Transactions, which shall collectively constitute a single covenant between the Parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties resolve to execute this Global Derivatives Agreement (“Agreement”), which shall be governed by the following terms and conditions.
1. SUBJECT MATTER
1.1. This Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions governing the Transactions carried out between the Parties during effectiveness hereof.
1.2. The subject matter of the Transactions involving flexible options on exchange rates and goods/commodities (“Options”) consists in the award, to the Option holder, of the right to purchase (in the event of call Options) or to sell (in the event of put Options), and in the attribution to the other Party, hereinafter referred to as Option writer, of the obligation to sell (in the event of call Options) or to purchase (in the event of put Options), (i) an amount equivalent to a certain volume of foreign currency, in purchase and sale transactions the asset/subject matter of which is the exchange rate of Brazilian reais for U.S. dollars or other foreign currency admitted in transactions of this kind, and (ii) an amount equivalent to the price of a certain volume of goods/commodities. The Options are settled by the difference between the exercise price and the price on the spot market, there being no physical delivery. The inclusion of a cap for call options or of a floor for put options is permitted.
1.3. The subject matter of the swap Transactions (“Swaps”) is the exchange of financial results resulting from the application of indices over the price of assets or liabilities used as reference.
1.4. The subject matter of the non deliverable forward Transactions (Non Deliverable Forward or “NDF”) is the forward purchase and sale of foreign currency, it being understood that the exchange rate shall be agreed upon execution of the agreement. The NDF is settled by the difference between the price of the foreign currency at the rate agreed upon execution of the agreement and the price thereof at the rate in effect on the date of the regular or early maturity of the Transaction, there being no physical delivery of foreign currency.
1.5. The subject matter of the goods/commodities forward transactions (“Commodity Forward”) is the forward purchase and sale of goods, the price of which is agreed upon execution of the agreement. The Commodity Forward is settled by the difference between the price agreed upon execution of the agreement and the price thereof on the date of the regular or early maturity of the Transaction, as specified in the respective Confirmation (as such term is defined in item 2.1).
2
1.6 Upon negotiation of the Transactions, the Parties may mutually agree on the terms, conditions, definitions or characteristics equal to and/or different from those mentioned herein. Therefore, the conditions exclusively effective for a certain Transaction shall be defined and contemplated in the Confirmation (as such term is defined below), the provisions of which shall always prevail over the provisions hereof for any and all purposes.
2. FORMALIZATION AND REGISTRATION
2.1. The Transaction(s) shall be formalized by means of issuance, by the BANK to the COUNTERPARTY, of a confirmation (“Confirmation”), which shall be an integral and inseparable part hereof. Each Confirmation may refer to one or several Transactions. In the event of Options, the Confirmation shall be specifically named Option Writing Instrument (“NLO”). The form of Confirmation may be adjusted pursuant to the characteristics and variables of each Transaction.
2.2. The Transaction(s) may be agreed in any of the following forms: (i) signature of the corresponding Confirmation by legal representatives of both Parties; or (ii) issuance of an unsigned Confirmation by the BANK to the COUNTERPARTY by facsimile, email or other electronic means, which the COUNTERPARTY shall accept by means of signature of the Confirmation, which shall be sent to the BANK by email (digitalized copy of the Confirmation) or by facsimile on the same day of receipt of the respective Confirmation by the COUNTERPARTY, as a condition for the Transaction(s) to be closed on the same day on which such instrument is sent by the BANK to the COUNTERPARTY, during business hours. In case the Transaction(s) is(are) carried out as set forth in sub-item “ii”, the COUNTERPARTY shall send to the BANK two (2) counterparts of the Confirmation signed by its legal representatives, should this be the case, within twenty-four (24) hours after the agreement.
2.2.1. Until the Confirmation is signed by the COUNTERPARTY and delivered to the BANK, the COUNTERPARTY'S agreement expressed by a recorded telephone call, email or other electronic means shall be the valid document representing the Transaction then agreed, which shall be an integral part hereof as if it were transcribed herein for all legal purposes and effects, becoming an integral and inseparable part hereof.
2.2.2. Each Party (i) agrees that the telephone communications of its legal representatives involved in the negotiation of any Transaction and other activities related to this Agreement be recorded by the BANK; and (ii) agrees that these records of the legal representatives involved in the transaction be admitted into evidence in any legal or administrative action related to any Transaction and other activities related to this Agreement.
2.2.2. The Parties expressly agree that the forms of carrying out the Transaction set forth in this section 2.2 constitute a legal, valid and effective, irrevocable and irreversible obligation of the Parties, enforceable in accordance with its corresponding terms and conditions, and that it shall be admitted into evidence in order to prove the valid agreement on the respective Transaction(s).
3
2.3. Each Confirmation shall be an integral part hereof for all legal purposes.
2.4. The Transactions shall registered by the BANK with CETIP S.A. - Balcão Organizado de Ativos e Derivativos (Organized Over-the-Counter Assets and Derivatives Market, or “CETIP”), with BM&F Bovespa S.A. - Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange, or “BM&F”) or with any other securities custody and financial settlement system or chamber authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil (“Bacen”) or by the Securities Commission (“CVM”), as well as with a Registry of Deeds and Documents, at the discretion of the BANK, and they shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement and also by the manuals, regulations and rules of CETIP, of BM&F or of other applicable system, as the case may be, which the Parties hereby declare to know and to which they declare to agree.
2.5. In the event of inconsistency between any provision hereof and the provisions of any Confirmation, the provisions of the Confirmation shall prevail. In the event of inconsistency between any provision hereof or of any Confirmation and the provisions of the manuals, regulations and rules of CETIP, of BM&F or of other system in which the Transactions are registered, the provisions set forth by CETIP, by BM&F or by such system shall prevail, as the case may be. All amendments to the regulation relating to the derivatives market shall immediately apply to the Transactions, subject to the provisions of section 8.3.
3. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OPTIONS
3.1. The Option grants its holder, which may be the BANK or the COUNTERPARTY, as specified in the corresponding NLO, upon the payment of a premium to the other Party, which shall be referred to as Option writer, the right to purchase (in the event of call Options) or to sell (in the event of put Options) on a given exercise date the subject of the Option at a certain exercise price.
3.2. The premium shall be credited to the checking account held by the COUNTERPARTY, as informed in field 2 of the preamble (“Checking Account”) or debited by the BANK from the Checking Account or from any other account held by the COUNTERPARTY with the BANK and which can be freely used by the COUNTERPARTY, in case the COUNTERPARTY is the Option writer or holder, respectively, to which the COUNTERPARTY hereby irrevocably and irreversibly consents and which it hereby irrevocably and irreversibly expressly authorizes, pursuant to the provisions of articles 684 and 685 of the Brazilian Civil Code, it being understood that no prior notice shall be required for any possible credit to or debit from the respective Checking Account or any other account held by the COUNTERPARTY with the BANK and which can be freely used by the COUNTERPARTY, and the COUNTERPARTY hereby further agrees to maintain a sufficient balance in such Checking Account for satisfaction of any possible obligation. Failure to pay the premium on the agreed date shall put the nonperforming Party in default, no judicial or extrajudicial notice and/or other measure being required, and the late payment charges set forth in section 17.4 shall apply. Failure to pay the premium and the aforementioned charges within thirty (30) consecutive days shall result in the undoing of the respective Option Transaction, without prejudice to the payment of damages as a result of possible direct losses suffered by the Option writer, which shall prove the losses, in addition to the payment of late payment charges until the date of actual payment, always limited to the price of the Agreement/Transaction.
4
3.3. In American-type Options, the Option can be exercised between the business day following the date of registration of the Option with CETIP, with BM&F or with any other system, as the case may be, and the maturity date. In European-type Options, the Option can only be exercised on the maturity date.
3.4. The purpose of the cap or floor is to set a maximum price for exercise of the call Option and a minimum price for exercise of the put Option. If there is no cap or floor, or if the cap or floor is not reached, the Option shall be exercised by the difference between the exercise price and the price of the foreign currency or of the good/commodities on the spot market. If the spot price on the exercise date exceeds the existing limit, the Option shall be exercised by the difference between such limit and the exercise price.
3.5. If the Option is exercised, the difference shall be paid on the settlement date, net of any possible withholding tax.
4. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SWAPS
4.1. In Swap Transactions, the Parties are mutually creditors and debtors of financial income or losses resulting from the application of rates or indices on assets or liabilities used as reference, which financial income or losses shall be hereinafter referred to as “Asset 1” and “Asset 2”, as specified in the corresponding Confirmation. The obligations of the Parties shall be offset and discharged in Brazilian currency on the maturity date agreed in the Confirmation, subject to the following conditions:
a) | if Asset 1 exceeds Asset 2, the debtor of Asset 1 shall pay the difference to the creditor of Asset 1; and |
b) | if Asset 2 exceeds Asset 1, the debtor of Asset 2 shall pay the difference to the creditor of Asset 2. |
4.2. If the Swap Transaction is agreed with periodical adjustments (“Swap with Reset”), the price of the assets shall be calculated and the payments set forth in section 4.1 shall be made on each periodical adjustment date set forth in the corresponding Confirmation, without prejudice to the adjustments set forth in section 6.1 below.
4.3. If the Swap Transaction is agreed with the right to desist, the Party holding this right, as specified in the corresponding Confirmation, may decide not to carry out the Swap transaction on the maturity date. The other Party expressly waives the right to desist.
4.3.1. Withdrawal from the Swap Transaction pursuant to the provisions of section 4.3 above shall extinguish all rights and obligations between the Parties with respect to the applicable Swap Transaction. Granting of this benefit may be conditional upon payment, by the Party holding the right to desist to the other Party, on the date of the Swap agreement, of a non-refundable premium in the amount specified in the corresponding Confirmation.
5
5. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NDFs AND OF THE COMMODITY FORWARDS
5.1. In the NDF Transactions and in the Commodity Forwards, the BANK and the COUNTERPARTY agree that the forward exchange rate or initial price of the commodity (“FWD” or “PI”, as the case may be) be confronted with the exchange rate or final price of the commodity on the spot market (“TC” or “PF”, as the case may be) calculated on the settlement date, which may be the maturity date agreed in the Confirmation or the date of payment in the event of early settlement of the NDF Transaction or of the Commodity Forward, wholly or in part, subject to the provisions of section 5.2 below and of each Confirmation.
5.2. Without prejudice to the provisions of section 6, the BANK and the COUNTERPARTY may mutually agree on the early settlement of the NDF Transaction or of the Commodity Forward, wholly or in part. The early settlement may occur as from the first business day after the Transaction is registered with CETIP, with BM&F or with the applicable system, as the case may be, and until the business day preceding the maturity date originally agreed between the Parties. Failure to make the payment with respect to the early settlement shall result in reversal of the early payment and reestablishment of the maturity date agreed in the Confirmation.
5.3. If on the settlement date the FWD or PI rate/price, as the case may be, exceeds the TC or PF rate/price, as the case may be, the Party defined as purchaser in the Confirmation (“Purchaser”) shall pay to the Party defined as seller in the Confirmation (“Seller”) the difference between the FWD or PI rate/price, as the case may be, and the TC or PF rate/price, as the case may be, times the volume of reference currency or of units of the asset/commodity informed in the Confirmation or, in the event of partial early settlement, by the volume of reference currency or of units of the asset/commodity subject to early settlement, as applicable. If on the settlement date the FWD or PI rate/price, as the case may be, is lower than the TC or PF rate/price, as the case may be, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the difference between the FWD or PI rate/price, as the case may be, and the TC or PF rate/price, as the case may be, times the volume of reference currency or of units of the asset/commodity informed in the Confirmation or, in the event of partial early settlement, by the volume of reference currency or of units of the asset/commodity subject to early settlement, as applicable.
5.4. Settlement of the NDF and of the Commodity Forward is exclusively made in Brazilian currency, there being no delivery of foreign currency, as applicable.
6. CAP OR FLOOR OF THE TRANSACTIONS
6.1. If any of the following events occurs on any date between the date of execution and the maturity date of a Transaction, the Parties, at the request of the BANK, shall make a financial adjustment to the corresponding Transaction, as set forth below:
a) | in the event of a Swap Transaction, if the difference that would be due by one of the Parties to the other if such date were the maturity date exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of the reference amount defined in the Confirmation, such Party shall pay this difference times the volume of reference currency informed in the Confirmation to the other Party; or |
6
b) | in the event of an NDF Transaction or Commodity Forward, if the difference between the exchange rate of the foreign currency on the spot market or the price of the commodity, as the case may be, subject to the NDF or to the Commodity Forward and the forward exchange rate exceeds fifteen percent (15%), whether upwards or downwards, such Party shall pay this difference times the volume of reference currency or of units of asset/commodity informed in the Confirmation to the other Party. |
6.2. After the Parties make the adjustment pursuant to the provisions of sections 4.2 or 6.1 above, the Parties shall take into consideration the price of the assets (in the event of Swap) and the exchange rate/price on the spot market (in the event of NDF or Commodity Forward) on the date of calculation of the adjustment in order to verify the need for the next adjustment.
6.3. The BANK shall calculate the amount involved in the Transactions on a daily basis and inform the COUNTERPARTY of the need for adjustment, by the means deemed appropriate by the BANK. The adjustment amount shall be paid by the Party required to do it to the other Party within twenty-four (24) hours after a notice sent by the BANK or, at the discretion of the BANK and should this be the case, the corresponding amount may be debited from or credited to the Checking Account or any other account held by the COUNTERPARTY with the BANK and which can be freely used by the COUNTERPARTY, as the case may be, with which the COUNTERPARTY hereby irrevocably and irreversibly agrees and which the COUNTERPARTY hereby irrevocably and irreversibly expressly authorizes, pursuant to the provisions of articles 684 and 685 of the Brazilian Civil Code, agreeing to keep sufficient balance for such purpose in the corresponding account.
6.4. As an alternative to the adjustment and without prejudice to the requirement of an adjustment at any time, upon occurrence of any of the events set forth in section 6.1 above, the BANK may request the COUNTERPARTY to reinforce the guarantee, which shall be provided by the COUNTERPARTY or by its GUARANTOR(S) in the form and in accordance with terms and conditions satisfactory to the BANK within the term set forth in section 8.1, letter “j” of the corresponding request, under penalty of declaration of early maturity of the Transactions.
7. RATE OF THE FOREIGN CURRENCY OR OF THE COMMODITY PRICE
7.1. The rate of the foreign currency or of the commodity price, as the case may be, and pursuant to the terms specified in the applicable Confirmation(s), on the adjustment or settlement date of the Transaction or on the exercise date of the Option, as the case may be, shall be determined as set forth in this Agreement and in the Confirmation. If such rate/price is not disclosed or is not available on that date, by the means indicated in the respective Confirmations, the rate/price mutually agreed by the Parties shall be used. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement on the date on which the amount payable should have been calculated, the BANK shall use the average market rate/price, as calculated in accordance with the rates/fees obtained by the BANK from at least six (6) class-A banks chosen by the BANK in similar transactions, as the case may be, it being understood that neither the highest nor the lowest rate/price shall be used. If there are not at least two (2) remaining rates/prices, or in case the calculation agreed under this section is or becomes impossible, the rate/price shall be determined in good faith by the BANK.
7
8. EARLY MATURITY
8.1. By means of written notice to the other Party and subject to the provisions of section 8.1.1 below, the innocent Party may declare the early maturity of this Agreement and of all outstanding Transactions in the following events, in addition to the events set forth by law, especially in articles 333 and 1425 of the Brazilian Civil Code (“Events of Default”):

d) | if any instrument issued by the COUNTERPARTY and/or the GUARANTOR(S) is protested, except (i) if the protest has been caused by error of bad faith of third parties, as proved in an action brought to suspend the protest or in a judgment with similar effect; or (ii) if such protest is cured, suspended, cancelled or sufficient guarantees are pledged within ten (5) business days after the protest; |
e) | upon occurrence or existence of a default, event of default or other similar condition or event that (1) may lead to an event of default (however described) with respect to the COUNTERPARTY and/or any entity directly controlled by, which controls or which is under common control with the COUNTERPARTY or any GUARANTOR, pursuant to the provisions of one or more agreements or instruments executed between (a) the COUNTERPARTY and/or any entity directly or indirectly controlled by, which controls or which is under common control with the COUNTERPARTY and/or any GUARANTOR and the BANK, or with any company of the economic group to which the BANK belongs; or b) the COUNTERPARTY and/or any GUARANTOR in an individual or aggregate amount equal to or in excess of one hundred thousand Brazilian reais (R$100,000.00), which amount shall be hereinafter referred to as “Minimum Amount” or; (2) represents a default of the COUNTERPARTY and/or of any GUARANTOR with respect to one or more payments due to the BANK, or any company of the economic group to which the BANK belongs, in an individual or aggregate amount equal to or in excess of the Minimum Amount, pursuant to the provisions of such agreements or instruments (after compliance with any requirement, serving of notice or end of the grace period possibly required for such Party to be put in default, should this be the case); |
8
f) | if the COUNTERPARTY and/or the GUARANTOR(S) file for court-supervised or out-of-court reorganization or if they are declared bankrupt, insolvent or subject to intervention; |

h) | if an action or execution procedure is brought against the COUNTERPARTY and/or the GUARANTOR(S) and such action or procedure results in the levy of execution or provisional attachment of any property the possible unavailability of which jeopardizes the regular conduction of the economic activities of the COUNTERPARTY and/or of the GUARANTOR(S), or which guarantees this Agreement, which shall be understood as this instrument and the Confirmation, except if the levy of execution or provisional attachment is cured, stayed, cancelled or sufficient guarantees are offered within at most ten (5) business days after the levy of execution or provisional attachment; |
i) | if the COUNTERPARTY and/or the GUARANTOR(S) transfer, assign or promise to assign to third parties a substantial portion of their assets or the rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the BANK; |
j) | if the COUNTERPARTY, should this be the case, fails to pledge or reinforce the guarantees due to the BANK, in the required form and at the required time or, should this be the case, if it offers the guarantees provided hereunder as a guarantee to and/or to the benefit of third parties within thirty (30) business days after a request in this respect; |
k) | if, after execution hereof, there is a change in the economic conditions of the COUNTERPARTY and/or of the GUARANTOR(S) that could jeopardize or prevent compliance with their obligations, at the discretion of the BANK; |
l) | in the event of impossibility of applying any index or provision agreed hereunder as a result of a governmental, legislative or regulatory action; or |
m) | if the COUNTERPARTY fails to comply with any of the obligations assumed under the loan transaction(s) mentioned in field 5 of the preamble or in the Confirmation, or in the event of maturity (on the agreed date or early maturity) of any of these loan transactions. |
8.1.1. The Parties agree that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, before declaration of the early maturity for any of the reasons listed in this Agreement, in the exhibits and/or in any possible amendment hereto, or before the imposition of any penalty, except the addition of interest and fine for purposes of letter “a”, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.3, the performing Party agrees to send written notice to the nonperforming Party, informing of the default and granting the nonperforming Party a term of five (5) days as from receipt of such notice to cure the default, except with respect to items “b”, “c”, “d”, “f”, “h”, “i”, “j”, to which the term set forth in this section 8.1.1 shall not apply, in which case the parties shall comply, for all legal purposes and effects, with the terms informed in the respective items.
9
8.2. Upon occurrence of the early maturity contemplated in this section, all Transactions shall be subject to early settlement, at the corresponding Replacement Amount (as defined below), which shall be made by the BANK in good faith and, as applicable, based on the calculation criteria adopted by the entities with which the Transactions are registered (CETIP, BM&F and/or other system, as applicable).
8.2.1. The BANK shall determine, for each Transaction subject to early maturity pursuant to the provisions of item 8.2., the amount the innocent Party would be required to pay or could receive so as to acquire, on the early settlement date, rights and obligations with the same economic contents as those to which it would be entitled if the Transaction were settled on the maturity date agreed in the Confirmation (“Replacement Amount”).
8.2.2. The BANK shall inform the COUNTERPARTY of the global result of the Replacement Amount after offsetting the Replacement Amounts due to the innocent Party against those due by the innocent Party. Debtor shall pay to creditor the global Replacement Amount immediately after such information is sent/provided by the BANK. At the discretion of the BANK, and should this be the case, the corresponding amount may be debited from or credited to the Checking Account or any other account held by the COUNTERPARTY with the BANK and which can be freely used by the COUNTERPARTY, as the case may be, with which the COUNTERPARTY hereby expressly, irrevocably and irreversibly agrees and which the COUNTERPARTY hereby expressly, irrevocably and irreversibly authorizes, pursuant to the provisions of articles 684 et seq. of the Brazilian Civil Code. The COUNTERPARTY hereby agrees to maintain sufficient balance for such purpose in the corresponding account.
8.3. The COUNTERPARTY and the GUARANTOR(S) represent to be aware of and agree that if the rules relating to the regulation of CETIP, of BM&F and of any other system in which the Transactions are registered are amended for any reason, so as to burden the BANK, such event may be deemed an “Event of Termination”, in which case the BANK may declare, at its discretion, the early maturity of the Transactions by means of a written notice sent five (5) days in advance to the COUNTERPARTY, it being understood that each of the Parties shall incur 50% of the costs possibly resulting from such Event of Termination.
8.3.1. Occurrence of an Event of Termination shall result in application of the provisions of section 8.2., for which purpose the calculations may be based on calculation criteria adopted by the entities with which the Transactions are registered before the change that resulted in the Event of Termination, at the discretion of the BANK.
9. REPRESENTATIONS
9.1. If the COUNTERPARTY has decided to connect a Transaction to a loan transaction, as informed in field 5 of the preamble or in the corresponding Confirmation, the COUNTERPARTY represents to be aware that:

b) | the connection between the Swap Transactions, Options, NDF or any other derivative and the loan transaction results from the decision of the COUNTERPARTY for the purpose of obtaining funds at a lower interest rate than the interest rate it would obtain if it had carried out only the loan transaction; and |
c) | the guarantees offered to such loan transaction shall also guarantee the payment of any debt resulting from Transactions. |
9.1.1 The COUNTERPARTY represents to be aware of and agrees to perform all actions deemed necessary by the BANK for these guarantees, as mentioned in section 9.1, letter “c” to be valid and effective with respect to the debts that may result from this Agreement.

9.1.2. Any possible cost related to the formalization and offering of guarantees, pursuant to the provisions of sections 9.1, letter “c”, and 9.1.1 above shall be fully supported by the COUNTERPARTY, which shall make the payment within the term set forth in the request to which section 9.1.1 refers, it being understood that the debit from the Checking Account or from any other account held by the COUNTERPARTY with the BANK and which can be freely used by the COUNTERPARTY is hereby irrevocably and irreversibly authorized, pursuant to the provisions of articles 684 and 685 of the Brazilian Civil Code, and the COUNTERPARTY hereby agrees to maintain sufficient balance for such purpose. Any possible noncompliance shall result in the payment of default charges, pursuant to the provisions of section 17.4.
9.2. Each Party hereby represents and warrants to the other Party, and it further agrees that these representations and warranties shall remain valid until termination of this Agreement and of all Transactions agreed between the Parties:

11
(c) | that it knows, understands and agrees to observe the regulations and/or operating instructions and procedures issued from time to time by the Bacen, by the CVM, by CETIP, by BM&F and/or by any other system or security custody and financial settlement chamber authorized by the Bacen or by the CVM, or by a body or entity competent to regulate these transactions, with respect to this Agreement, agreeing to perform all required actions to ensure compliance with these laws, regulations and/or procedures; |
