(c) furnish to each Investor, without charge, one conformed copy of the applicable Registration Statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (and any exhibits to such Registration Statement upon written request), and a number of copies of the Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, to be used for sales of Registered Securities and such other documents as the Investors may reasonably request in order to facilitate the Transfer of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(v) the occurrence of a Permitted Interruption (which notice shall be provided to the Escrow Agent no later than the Business Day immediately following the occurrence thereof and be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus).

(i) subject to the terms of Section 5.02 in respect of a Permitted Interruption, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5.04(h), where necessary, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Investors, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading; and

(k) Xxxxx Limited will, during any period in the first twelve months following the Closing Date that Xxxxx Limited is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, furnish to the Investors that hold Registrable Securities, upon

the request by such Investors, the information set forth in Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act.

Section 5.05 Investor Information, Undertakings and Acknowledgment. (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited to take any action in respect of the Registrable Securities held by an Investor pursuant to Section 5.01 and 5.03 that each such Investor shall have furnished to Xxxxx Limited the information set forth in Exhibit 5.05 hereof (the “Investor Information”). Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent and each Investor of notice from Xxxxx Limited pursuant to Section 5.04 it will promptly discontinue sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until receipt of the notice from Xxxxx Limited that sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement may recommence.

(b) The Investors acknowledge and agree that, in connection with Section 5.04(b)(ii), Xxxxx Limited may file a new registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or prepare a new Prospectus to permit resales of Registrable Securities by the Permitted Transferees.

(c) The Investors acknowledge and understand that Xxxxx Limited or one or more of its subsidiaries, including Xxxxx Alimentos or Nova Ponte, may enter into one or more Interested Shareholder Agreements and one or more Interested Shareholder Registration Agreements. The Investors further acknowledge and understand that, in connection with the requirements of any Interested Shareholder Registration Agreements, Xxxxx Limited may file a new registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act to include the Interested Shareholder Shares in the Registration Statement or Xxxxx Limited may file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and/or prepare a new Prospectus to include the Interested Shareholder Shares on the Registration Statement, to, in each case, permit resales of the Interested Shareholder Shares by the Interested Shareholders in substantially the same manner as provided in this Agreement.

Section 5.06 Expenses Payable by Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited. Except as provided in Section 5.06 below, all fees and expenses incident to the registration and sale of Registrable Securities shall be borne by Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited whether or not a Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective, including, without limitation, (i) all registration, qualification and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with respect to filings required to be made with the NYSE and (B) fees and, subject to Section 5.04(d), expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky Laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited in connection with blue sky

qualifications of the Registrable Securities)), (ii) messenger and delivery expenses, word processing, duplicating and printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company, printing the Prospectus, including those delivered to or for the account of the Investors as provided in this Agreement), (iii) fees and disbursements of counsel for Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited, (iv) fees and expenses of Counsel to Xxxxx Limited, in connection with the preparation and delivery of any Legend Opinion related to a Transfer of Xxxxx Limited Shares by any Investor, (v) documented fees (not in excess of US$2,000 for each Legend Opinion) and the reasonable and documented expenses of Counsel to the Investors hired by the Investors following the failure of Counsel to Xxxxx Limited to provide a Legend Opinion in the manner and time required by Section 4.02(c) hereof; provided, however, that this clause (v) shall not apply to the first such Legend Opinion issued by Counsel to the Investors following the failure of Counsel to Xxxxx Limited to provide a Legend Opinion; and provided, further, that all such amounts payable under this clause (v) with respect to fees shall not exceed US$200,000 in the aggregate, (vi) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants for Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited, (vii) all out-of-pocket expenses of Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited (including, without limitation, expenses incurred by Xxxxx Limited, its officers, directors, employees and agents performing legal or accounting duties, any public relations, investor relations or other consultants or advisors retained by Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited), and (viii) fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and a portion of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

Section 5.07 Expenses Payable by the Investors. Each Investor shall pay all broker’s commissions, and if applicable, underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with the Transfer of Registrable Securities for or on behalf of such Investor’s account and the fees and expenses of the Investor’s advisers and counsel (including in connection with the preparation of a Legend Opinion by Counsel to the Investors, other than as provided in Section 5.06(v)), the Investor’s Representatives and the Investor’s Representatives’ advisers and counsel. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investors shall not be required to pay any expenses set forth in Section 5.06 other than as may be provided in the Escrow Agreement.

Section 5.08 Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Investors, severally and not jointly (as applicable, the “Investor Parties”), shall indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxx Limited, Nova Ponte, each of their directors, officers and Affiliates and each person, if any, who controls Xxxxx Limited or Nova Ponte or such Affiliates within the meaning of the Securities Act (as applicable, the “Bunge Parties”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which an indemnified party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and shall reimburse the Bunge Parties promptly upon demand for any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the

Bunge Parties in connection with investigating, or preparing to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred, but only to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities were the result of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of such Investor pursuant to Section 5.05. In no event shall the liability of any Investor Party pursuant to this Section 5.08(a) be greater in amount than the net proceeds received by such Investor Party upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(b) Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor Parties against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and shall reimburse the Investor Parties promptly upon demand for any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Investor Parties in connection with investigating, or preparing to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred, provided, however, that Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited shall not be liable to any Investor Party in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or proceeding to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of any of the Investor Parties pursuant to Section 5.05.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.08 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or proceedings referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or proceedings in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or proceedings, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or

expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. If the allocation provided in this Section 5.08(c) is not permitted by applicable Law, the parties shall contribute based upon the relative benefits received by Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited from the initial issuance of the Registrable Securities on the one hand and the net proceeds (after payment of the expenses described in Section 5.07) received or to be received by the Investors from the Transfer of Registrable Securities on the other.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.08(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.08(c), no contribution by the Investors, when combined with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 5.08(c), shall exceed the net proceeds (after payment of the expenses described in Section 5.07) from the Transfer of the Registrable Securities received by the Investors.

(d) Any indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by the indemnified party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the indemnified party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially adversely prejudiced the indemnifying party’s defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the indemnifying party as above provided, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the indemnified party. An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but all the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be solely at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such proceeding within 40 days of receipt of the notice of commencement of any such proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such indemnified party and the indemnifying party. It shall be understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding (including separate proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified

party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e) The agreements contained in this Section 5.08 shall survive the Transfer of the Registered Securities by the Investors pursuant to any Registration Statement (or otherwise) and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investors, Nova Ponte or Xxxxx Limited or such director, officer or participating or controlling Person of any of them.

Section 5.09 Certain Additional Limitations on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, Xxxxx Limited shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities of an Investor, and Nova Ponte and Xxxxx Limited shall have no other obligations to such Investor under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.06 and 5.08 of this Agreement, if such Investor has not furnished Xxxxx Limited the Investor Information on or prior to the 5th (fifth) day after the date of this Agreement.

Section 5.10 Confidentiality. Each of the Investors agrees to keep any notices received pursuant to this Agreement, together with any confidential information received in connection therewith, confidential, and each Investor shall not disclose such notice or information to any Person other than its legal counsel or as may be required by applicable law.

ARTICLE VI. CONDITIONS OF TRANSFER

Section 6.01 General. The Investors shall not Transfer any of their Xxxxx Limited Shares during the No-Transfer Period. During the Restricted Transfer Period, any Transfer of Xxxxx Limited Shares shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Article IV and this Article VI, without prejudice to those imposed by Applicable Securities Laws. Once the Restricted Transfer Period expires, no restrictions shall apply to the Transfer of Xxxxx Limited Shares by the Investors, other than those imposed by Applicable Securities Laws.

Section 6.02 Free Trading Limit. The Investors may, in the aggregate, Transfer, in one or more transactions, up to US$ 900,000.00 per NYSE Trading Day of Xxxxx Limited Shares (based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE on the NYSE Trading Day preceding the day the relevant Release Notice is delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 6.03(d) below) on any NYSE Trading Day (“Free Trading Limit”), without being subject to any trading restriction, except for those imposed by Applicable Securities Laws.

Section 6.03 Other Transfers. Any Transfer by the Investors of Xxxxx Limited Shares above the Free Trading Limit, applied to the Investors in the aggregate, shall be subject to the following restrictions, in addition to those imposed by Applicable Securities Laws (“Trading Restrictions”):

(a) Daily Restricted Trading Limit. Other than Transfers not made in excess of the Investor’s Free Trading Limit, applied to the Investors in the aggregate, pursuant to Section 6.02 (which shall not be included in calculating the Daily Restricted Trading Limit), the Investors may not Transfer, individually or jointly more than US$25.0 million of Xxxxx Limited Shares (based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE on the NYSE Trading

Day preceding the day the relevant Release Notice is delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 6.03(d) below) on any NYSE Trading Day (“Daily Restricted Trading Limit”); provided, that any determination of whether or not such Daily Restricted Trading Limit has been exceeded shall include Transfers of Aggregate Trade Interested Shareholder Shares made by Interested Shareholders. It is expressly understood by the parties hereunder that Transfers by each Interested Shareholder of its Interested Shareholder Shares not in excess of such Interested Shareholder’s individual free trading limit comparable to the Investors’ Free Trading Limit (the “Interested Shareholder Free Trading Limit”) shall be excluded for purposes of determining the Daily Restricted Trading Limit.

(b) Xxxxx Limited’s Right of First Offer. Each Investor shall be required to offer to Nova Ponte any Xxxxx Limited Shares proposed to be Transferred by such Investor, which offer will be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of item (e) below (“Right of First Offer”) and such offer may be accepted by Nova Ponte or its designee; provided that Xxxxx Limited Shares sold within the Free Trading Limit shall not be subject to the Right of First Offer.

(c) Escrow Agent. For purposes of implementing the trading limits and Right of First Offer restrictions set forth herein, the Parties have agreed to retain the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement among the Parties dated as of the date of this Agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) and such Escrow Agreement shall include instructions to the Escrow Agent to monitor and implement the transfer procedures, trading limits and Rights of First Offer related to Xxxxx Limited Shares set forth in this Agreement. The Investors further agree to modify or amend such Escrow Agreement from time to time to include the Interested Shareholders as a party thereto as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Investors shall not be required to pay any additional fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent resulting therefrom.

(d) Procedure. On the Closing Date and in accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Xxxxx Limited Shares shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held under the Escrow Agreement.

i. Transfers within the Free Trading Limit. Any Investor intending to Transfer Xxxxx Limited Shares within the Free Trading Limit shall notify in writing the Escrow Agent of such Investor’s agreement or intention to do so (“Free Trade Release Notice”). The Free Trade Release Notice must specify the number of Xxxxx Limited Shares the Investor wants to Transfer (“Free Transfer Xxxxx Limited Shares”). The Escrow Agent shall, following receipt of a Free Trade Release Notice, facilitate, along with the Transfer Agent and Xxxxx Limited, as provided in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the release of the Free Transfer Xxxxx Limited Shares to the notifying Investor to settle the pending Transfer. In the event the Escrow Agent releases such Xxxxx Limited Shares to a notifying Investor and such Investor does not Transfer the released Xxxxx Limited Shares pursuant to the agreement forming the basis of the Free Trade Release Notice following their release by the Escrow Agent, such Investor shall return such Xxxxx Limited Shares to the Escrow Agent and such Xxxxx Limited Shares shall be subject to the procedures set forth in this Agreement in case such Investor intends to again Transfer such Xxxxx Limited Shares.

ii. Transfers Above the Free Trading Limit. Any Investor intending to Transfer any Xxxxx Limited Shares above the Free Trading Limit (“Offering Investor”) shall notify in writing the Escrow Agent and Xxxxx Limited of such Investor’s intention to do so (“Aggregate Trade Release Notice” and, together with a Free Trade Release Notice, each a “Release Notice”). The Aggregate Trade Release Notice must specify the number of Xxxxx Limited Shares the Offering Investor wants to Transfer above such Offering Investor’s Free Trading Limit (“Aggregate Trade Shares”). If the total volume of Xxxxx Limited Shares subject to all Aggregate Trade Release Notices received by the Escrow Agent on any given NYSE Trading Day, including any notices similar to the Aggregate Trade Release Notices received by the Escrow Agent from the Interested Shareholders relating to Transfers of Aggregate Trade Interested Shareholder Shares, exceeds the Daily Restricted Trading Limit, the Escrow Agent shall notify all the requesting Investors and Interested Shareholders, if any, of such number of Aggregate Trade Shares and such number of Aggregate Trade Interested Shareholder Shares, available for Transfer, if any, such that the total number of Xxxxx Limited Shares available for Transfer by such Investors and Interested Shareholders on such NYSE Trading Day (other than Transfers by Investors of Xxxxx Limited Shares pursuant to Free Trading Limits and by Interested Shareholders of Interested Shareholder Shares pursuant to Interested Shareholder Free Trading Limits) is not greater than US$25.0 million of Xxxxx Limited Shares (based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE Trading Day preceding the day the relevant Aggregate Trade Release Notice is delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 6.03(d)). The number of Aggregate Trade Shares or Aggregate Trade Interested Shareholder Shares, if any, that each Investor or Interested Shareholder, if any, shall be permitted to Transfer on any NYSE Trading Day below the foregoing limitation shall be determined on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Xxxxx Limited Shares received by each such Investor on the Closing Date and by each Interested Shareholder on the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Interested Shareholder Agreements. At the close of business on the day on which one or more Release Notices have been delivered under the terms of this Section, the Escrow Agent shall inform the Investors that have delivered such Release Notices, the requesting Interested Shareholders and Xxxxx Limited of the number of Xxxxx Limited Shares that have been permitted to be Transferred (a “Permitted Transfer Notification”) and the number of Xxxxx Limited Shares that have not been permitted to be Transferred, which such Xxxxx Limited Shares shall continue to be subject to the Escrow Agreement and this Article VI.

iii. Aggregate Trade Release Procedure. If Nova Ponte or its designee does not exercise its Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 6.03(e) below, the Escrow Agent shall facilitate, along with the Transfer Agent and Xxxxx Limited, as provided in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the release of the Aggregate Trade Shares to the Offering Investor to complete a Transfer.

iv. Return of Aggregate Trade Shares. If an Offering Investor does not enter into an agreement to Transfer the released Aggregate Trade Shares within one (1) NYSE

Trading Day following the later of the receipt of the Permitted Transfer Notification and the expiration of the Exercise Period (defined in Section 6.03(e) below), such Investor shall return such Aggregate Trade Shares to the Escrow Agent and such Xxxxx Limited Shares shall be subject to the procedures set forth in this Section 6.03(d) and in Section 6.03(e) below in case such Investor again intends to Transfer such Xxxxx Limited Shares.

(e) Right of First Offer Procedure. Once an Aggregate Trade Release Notice is received, Nova Ponte shall have one NYSE Trading Day (“Exercise Period”) to notify in writing the Offering Investor(s) and the Escrow Agent whether it or its designee shall exercise (or not exercise) the Right of First Offer with regard to all and not less than all of the offered Aggregate Trade Shares for the Exercise Price set forth in Section 6.03(e).i below.

i. Exercise Price. The price for the acquisition of the offered Aggregate Trade Shares by Nova Ponte or its designee shall be equal to the greater of (A) the closing price of the Common Shares on the last NYSE Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which the Escrow Agent receives the relevant Aggregate Trade Release Notice or (B) the closing price of the Common Shares on the day on which Nova Ponte exercises its Right of First Offer (“Exercise Price”); provided, however, that (i) to the extent any additional taxes are incurred by an Investor as a result of the acquisition of the relevant Aggregate Trade Shares by Nova Ponte or its designee (as compared to an acquisition by a third party in a similar transaction) such investor will notify Nova Ponte or its designee of the amount of such additional taxes and provide reasonably detailed information with respect to the calculation of such amount and such amount shall be reimbursed by Nova Ponte within three Business Days of its receipt from the Investor of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the Investor’s payment of such amount. For the purposes hereof, any failure by a designee of Nova Ponte to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and the conditions for the Transfer shall be deemed to be a default by Nova Ponte hereunder.

ii. Exercise of the Right of First Offer. If Nova Ponte or its designee exercises the Right of First Offer, it shall acquire the offered Aggregate Trade Shares and pay the Exercise Price on the third NYSE Trading Day immediately following the expiration of the Exercise Period, in cash to an account designated by the relevant Offering Investor and upon Transfer of the offered Aggregate Trade Shares to Nova Ponte or its designee. Failure by Nova Ponte or its designee to pay the Exercise Price when due shall subject Nova Ponte to the payment of interest on such amount in the amount of 1% over the Prime Rate from the due date until the date of payment thereof. The failure by Nova Ponte or its designee to pay the Exercise Price when due to any Offering Investor shall also be deemed as a waiver by Nova Ponte and any designee of their Right of First Offer in relation to the then offered Aggregate Trade Shares and any other Xxxxx Limited Shares held by such Offering Investor, in which event the provisions of this Section 6.03(e) shall no longer apply to the relevant Offering Investor; provided, that any such failure will be deemed cured, and the provisions of Section 6.03(e) shall thereafter apply, if Nova Ponte or its designee pays, no later than five Business Days following the due date, to an account designated by the relevant Offering Investor, an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i)(A) if the relevant Offering Investor has not sold the Aggregate Trade Shares, the Exercise Price, or (B) if the relevant

Offering Investor has sold the Aggregate Trade Shares for an aggregate purchase price less than the Exercise Price, the difference between the Exercise Price and such aggregate purchase price, plus (ii) an amount equal to 5% (five percent) of the Exercise Price, and plus (iii) interest on the Exercise Price in the amount of 1% over the Prime Rate from the due date until the date of payment thereof; provided, further, that if Nova Ponte or its designee fails to cure any such failure in the manner provided in this Agreement more than two times, Nova Ponte shall forfeit its Right of First Offer rights contained in Section 6.03(e) with respect to all Xxxxx Limited Shares held by the Investors. In the event of a payment under the foregoing clause (i)(A), the Offering Investor shall deliver the Aggregate Trade Shares to Nova Ponte or its designee as soon as reasonably practicable after such payment but in no event later than three (3) NYSE Trading Days following the date thereof.

iii. Non-Exercise of the Right of First Offer. If, by the end of the Exercise Period, Nova Ponte fails to deliver an exercise notice in respect of, or it notifies the Investors and the Escrow Agent that it or its designee will not exercise the Right of First Offer to acquire all the offered Aggregate Trade Shares, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Offering Investor(s) pursuant to Section 6.03(d)(ii) above. The Offering Investor(s) shall then have the right to Transfer, individually or jointly, all or part of such shares without the need for any further communication to Nova Ponte, subject to Section 6.03(c) above.

(f) Private Transfers. Except as set forth in Section 6.03(g), Transfers of Xxxxx Limited Shares other than as expressly provided under this Agreement shall be subject to the prior written approval of Nova Ponte. If such approval is granted, permitted transferees must expressly agree in writing to adhere to all terms and conditions of this Article VI.

(g) Permitted Transfers. Transfers of Xxxxx Limited Shares by the Investors to any of their heirs or Affiliates which are controlled, directly or indirectly by the Investors (a “Permitted Transferee”), in Brazil or abroad, are not subject to the restrictions set forth herein, as long as (i) such permitted transferees expressly agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bunge, to become party to this Agreement, to adhere to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) the transferor Investor shall agree, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bunge, to be jointly liable with such Investor’s permitted transferee(s) for all its or their obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) if any transferee ceases to be a controlled Affiliate of the transferring Investor, the transferring Investor causes such transferee to (prior to such event) Transfer the transferred Xxxxx Limited Shares back to the transferor Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfers of Xxxxx Limited Shares by an Investor to another Investor shall not be subject to any restriction set forth herein.

EXHIBIT 4.02(c)

This certificate is being provided to XXXXX LIMITED (the “Company”), in connection with (a) the sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s common shares subject to certain restrictions and (b) the request of the undersigned shareholder (the “Shareholder”) to remove the restrictive legends from such shares. The securities subject to sale are comprised of [ ] common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”), par value $.01 per share, currently held in book-entry form in the name of Banco Itaú Europa International, as escrow agent, for the benefit of the Shareholder.

The Shareholder, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the Shareholder has entered into an agreement to sell the Common Shares in accordance with the terms outlined in the “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Registration Statement of the Company (No. 333-[ ]), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in connection with the resale of the Common Shares, and has delivered to the purchaser(s) the prospectus supplement most recently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act which relates to the offer and sale of the Common Shares by the Shareholder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Shareholder has executed this Certificate this day of 2010.

Exhibit 5.01

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling shareholders named in any prospectus supplement may, from time to time, sell any or all of the common shares received in the acquisition on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the common shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. We have been advised by the selling shareholders that they may use any one or more of the following methods when selling common shares:

· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

· privately negotiated transactions;

· short sales;

· broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

· a combination of any such methods of sale; and

· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each sale. The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of common shares offered by them will be the purchase price of the common shares less discounts and commissions, if any. Each of the selling shareholders reserves the right to accept, and together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the common shares.

Under one or more agreements, we have granted or expect to grant the selling shareholders certain registration rights pertaining to the common shares received, or that will be received, by the selling shareholders in connection with the acquisition. The agreements provide for indemnification by Nova Ponte and us of the selling shareholders, and for indemnification by the selling shareholders of Nova Ponte, us and our respective directors, officers, affiliates and controlling persons, against specific liabilities in connection with the offer and sale of common shares, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement until the earlier of the date on which the common shares have been resold by the selling shareholders or may be sold by the selling shareholders without registration under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, subject to the terms of the agreements.

As the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, the selling shareholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

In order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states, the common shares may be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the common shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of the common shares by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of common shares will be borne by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the common shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the common shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the common shares.

The selling shareholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their common shares, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of the common shares by any selling shareholder. If we are notified by any selling shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common shares, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.

Each selling shareholder and any other person participating in a distribution will be subject to the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common shares by the selling shareholder or any such other person. Under Regulation M of the Exchange

Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the common shares may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares for certain periods prior to the start of the distribution. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares.

In certain circumstances, the selling shareholders also may transfer the common shares to certain permitted transferees, in which case such transferees will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the common shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, to include such transferees as selling shareholders under this prospectus.

The common shares held by the selling shareholders are subject to certain restrictions contained in registration rights agreements as to the amount and timing of sales of common shares and, in certain circumstances, requirements to first offer such common shares back to us for repurchase. Banco Itaú Europa International serves as an escrow agent and holds the common shares on behalf of the selling shareholders for which it receives customary fees and reimbursement for expenses from the selling shareholders and us.
