Item 1.01            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
In connection with Bunge Limited’s (the “Company” or “Bunge”) previously announced strategy to reduce its exposure to the sugar milling business in Brazil, on May 1, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into the following transactions to provide future financial flexibility to the Company’s sugar milling business on a stand-alone basis.
 
Revolving Credit Facility.   Bunge Limited Finance Corp. (“ BLFC ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bunge Limited (“ Bunge ”), has entered into an unsecured U.S. $700,000,000 (the “ Total Revolving Commitments ”) revolving credit facility (the “ Revolving Credit Facility ”) among BLFC, as borrower, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“ SMBC ”), as administrative agent (the “ Revolving Administrative Agent ”), and certain lenders party thereto.  BLFC may request one or more of the lenders to increase the Total Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount not exceeding $100,000,000 pursuant to an accordion provision set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility.  The Revolving Credit Facility matures on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Revolving Credit Facility (the “ Revolving   Maturity Date ”).  BLFC has the option to extend the Revolving Maturity Date one time by up to twelve (12) months with the prior written consent of the lenders.  BLFC may use proceeds from future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund intercompany advances to Bunge and/or certain Bunge subsidiaries, repay outstanding indebtedness of BLFC and pay expenses incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility and any pari passu indebtedness of BLFC.
 
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit   Facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary between 1.000% to 1.700%, based on the senior long-term unsecured debt ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Services Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“ S&P ”) of (a) Bunge or (b) if Moody’s or S&P, as applicable, does not provide such a rating of Bunge, then the Bunge Master Trust or (c) if Moody’s or S&P, as applicable, does not provide such a rating of Bunge or the Bunge Master Trust, then BLFC (the “ Rating Level ”).  Amounts under the Revolving Credit   Facility that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee payable quarterly based on the average undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit   Facility at a rate that will vary between 0.100% to 0.250%.
 
The Revolving Credit   Facility contains certain representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including certain limitations on the ability of BLFC to, among other things, incur liens, incur indebtedness, sell or transfer assets or receivables or engage in mergers, consolidations, amalgamations or joint ventures, and certain customary events of default.
 
The obligations of BLFC under the Revolving Credit   Facility are guaranteed by Bunge pursuant to a separate Guaranty, dated as of May 1, 2018 (the “ Revolving Facility Guaranty ”).  The Revolving Facility Guaranty contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants.  The Revolving Facility Guaranty obligates Bunge to maintain a specified minimum consolidated net worth, a maximum consolidated adjusted net debt to consolidated adjusted capitalization ratio, a minimum current assets to current liabilities ratio and a maximum principal balance of secured indebtedness.  The Revolving Facility Guaranty also includes certain limitations on the ability of Bunge to engage in merger, consolidation or amalgamation transactions or sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its property, business or assets.
 

 
  Pre-Export Facility.   In addition, concurrently with the entry into the Revolving Credit Facility, certain wholly owned Brazilian sugar milling subsidiaries of Bunge (collectively, the “ Pre-Export Borrowers ”), have entered into a secured pre-export term loan facility (the “ Pre-Export Facility ”) among the Pre-Export Borrowers, SMBC, as administrative agent (the “ Pre-Export Administrative Agent ”), and certain lenders party thereto and a framework agreement (the “ Framework Agreement ”), among Bunge, BLFC, the Pre-Export Borrowers, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent.  Upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement, Bunge and BLFC may elect to convert the Total Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to an equal amount of commitments of the lenders to make term pre-export loans under the Pre-Export Facility to the Pre-Export Borrowers (the “ Pre-Export Commitments ”) at any time that Bunge no longer intends to own a controlling voting interest in the Pre-Export Borrowers (the “ Conversion ”).  Upon a Conversion, BLFC will be obligated to repay any outstanding Revolving Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Facility Guaranty will automatically terminate.  The Pre-Export Facility is non-recourse to Bunge and BLFC.

Following a Conversion, the Pre-Export Borrowers may borrow under the Pre-Export Facility (the “ Pre-Export Loans ”) in an amount up to the Pre-Export Commitments.  The Pre-Export Loans will be secured by a security interest in rights under certain sugar offtake contracts and other assets of the Pre-Export Borrowers.  The Pre-Export Facility will mature on the same date that is the Revolving Maturity Date as of the Conversion (the “ Pre-Export Maturity Date ”); provided, that if the Revolving Maturity Date was not extended prior to Conversion, the Pre-Export Borrowers have the option to extend the Pre-Export Maturity Date one time by up to twelve (12) months with the prior written consent of the lenders.  The Pre-Export Loans under the Pre-Export Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 10.0% of the currently outstanding principal amount of the Pre-Export Facility commencing with the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the then applicable Pre-Export Maturity Date and on each three month anniversary thereafter, with the balance payable on the date that is the Pre-Export Maturity Date.  The Pre-Export Borrowers may use proceeds from future borrowings under the Pre-Export Facility to finance the export of Brazilian raw and/or white sugar, Brazilian hydrous ethanol and/or Brazilian anhydrous ethanol, and/or other sugarcane-based products and/or any product agreed in writing by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent.

The Pre-Export Loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary between 2.750% to 3.750% based on a total net leverage ratio.  Amounts under the Pre-Export   Facility that remain undrawn from the date of Conversion to the date that is forty-eight (48) months from the effective date of the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to a commitment fee payable annually based on the average undrawn portion of the Pre-Export Facility at a rate that will vary between 0.960% to 1.310% based on a total net leverage ratio.
 
The Pre-Export   Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.  The Pre-Export Facility obligates the Pre-Export Borrowers to maintain a total net leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, a net debt to total assets ratio, a fixed asset coverage ratio and an offtake contract value to debt service coverage ratio.
 

 
From time to time, certain of the l enders and/or their affiliates provide financial services to Bunge, BLFC, the Pre-Export Borrowers and other subsidiaries of Bunge.

The Revolving Credit   Facility, the Revolving Facility Guaranty, the Pre-Export Facility and the Framework Agreement are included as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.  The foregoing descriptions of the Revolving Credit   Facility, the Revolving Facility Guaranty, the Pre-Export Facility and the Framework Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those documents.

(a)       the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Revolving Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, or
 
(b)       the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Revolving Lenders that the LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Revolving Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Revolving Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Revolving Loans during such Interest Period,
 
33

 
the Revolving Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Revolving Borrower and the relevant Revolving Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given, (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Revolving Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Revolving Borrower have the right to convert Revolving Loans to LIBOR Loans.
 
2.12       Pro Rata Treatment and Payments .
 
(a)  Each borrowing by the Revolving Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder shall be made pro   rata according to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders .  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.18(b) , any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders .  Each payment by the Revolving Borrower on account of any commitment fee with respect to any period shall be made pro rata according to the respective average daily Available Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders for such period; provided , that the Revolving Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any commitment fee owed to a Revolving Lender with respect to any period during which such Revolving Lender became a Defaulting Lender , and such Defaulting Lender ’s Available Revolving Commitment shall not be included in the calculation of the commitment fees owed to the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders during such period, unless in either case such Revolving Lender remains a Performing Lender during such period.
 
(b)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.18(b) , each payment ( including each prepayment) by the Revolving Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro   rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders .
 
(c)  All payments ( including prepayments) to be made by the Revolving Borrower hereunder , whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time , on the due date thereof to the Revolving Administrative Agent , for the account of the Revolving Lenders , at the Funding Office , in immediately available funds.  The Revolving Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Revolving Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day , such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a LIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month , in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day .  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
 
34

 
(d)  Unless the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Revolving Lender prior to the Borrowing Time on a Borrowing Date that such Revolving Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing on such date available to the Revolving Administrative Agent , the Revolving Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender has made such amount available to the Revolving Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date , and the Revolving Administrative Agent may, but shall not be so required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Revolving Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Revolving Administrative Agent by the required time on such Borrowing Date , and if the Revolving Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Revolving Borrower , then such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolving Administrative Agent , on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Revolving Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Revolving Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Revolving Administrative Agent .  A certificate of the Revolving Administrative Agent submitted to any Revolving Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If the Revolving Administrative Agent makes such Revolving Lender ’s share of such borrowing available to the Revolving Borrower , and if such Revolving Lender ’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Revolving Administrative Agent by such Revolving Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date , the Revolving Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans , on demand, from the Revolving Borrower .  The failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on such Borrowing Date pursuant to the provisions contained herein , but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Revolving Lender on any Borrowing Date .
 
(e)  Unless the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Revolving Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Revolving Borrower hereunder that the Revolving Borrower will not make such payment to the Revolving Administrative Agent , the Revolving Administrative Agent may assume that the Revolving Borrower is making such payment, and the Revolving Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Revolving Lenders their respective pro   rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Revolving Administrative Agent by the Revolving Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Revolving Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender against the Revolving Borrower .
 
35

 
2.13       Requirements of Law .
 
(a)  If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Revolving Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (a “ Change in Law ”):
 
(i)  shall subject any Revolving Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Revolving Loan Document;
 
(ii)  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Revolving Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate; or
 
(iii)  shall impose on such Revolving Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Revolving Lender, by an amount that such Revolving Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Revolving Borrower shall promptly pay such Revolving Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Revolving Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Revolving Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Revolving Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
 
(b)  If any Revolving Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Revolving Lender or any corporation controlling such Revolving Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Revolving Lender ’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Revolving Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Revolving Lender ’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Revolving Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Revolving Lender to the Revolving Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent ) of a written request therefor, the Revolving Borrower shall pay to such Revolving Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided , that the Revolving Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six Months prior to the date that such Revolving Lender notifies the Revolving Borrower of such Revolving Lender ’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided , further , that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six- Month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
 
36

 
(c)  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Revolving Lender to the Revolving Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent ) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Revolving Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder .
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III or Basel IV,   (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (iii) CRD IV/CRR and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Requirements of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

37

 
(b)  In addition, the Revolving Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Revolving Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)  The Revolving Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient , within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes ( including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority .  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of, calculation of and circumstances giving rise to such payment or liability delivered to the Revolving Borrower by a Revolving Lender (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent), or by the Revolving Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Revolving Lender , shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)  If the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Revolving Borrower or with respect to which the Revolving Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14 , it shall pay to the Revolving Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Revolving Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided , that the Revolving Borrower agrees to pay, upon the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender, the amount paid over to the Revolving Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender in the event that the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.14(i) shall not be construed to require the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Revolving Borrower.

(i)  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder .
 
2.15       Indemnity .  The Revolving Borrower agrees to indemnify each Revolving Lender for, and to hold each Revolving Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Revolving Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Revolving Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Revolving Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Revolving Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans after the Revolving Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto as the result of a request by the Revolving Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(a) ; provided , however , that the Revolving Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify a Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender for any such loss or expense (incurred while such Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender) related to the prepayment or assignment of any LIBOR Loan owed to such Defaulting Lender. 
 
41

 
Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Revolving Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Revolving Lender) that would have accrued to such Revolving Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Revolving Borrower by any Revolving Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
2.16       Change of Lending Office .  Each Revolving Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) with respect to such Revolving Lender, it will, if requested by the Revolving Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Revolving Lender) to designate another lending office for any Revolving Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided , that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Revolving Lender, cause such Revolving Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided , further , that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Revolving Borrower or the rights of any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) .
 
2.17       Illegality .  If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority shall, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to any Revolving Lender, make it unlawful for such Revolving Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then such Revolving Lender may, by notice to the Revolving Borrower (with notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent), immediately declare that such LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable.  The Revolving Borrower shall repay any such LIBOR Loan declared so due and payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or earlier if required by law, together with accrued interest thereon.  Each Revolving Lender will promptly notify the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent of any event of which such Revolving Lender has knowledge which would entitle it to repayment pursuant to this Section 2.17 and will use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any event if, in the sole and absolute opinion of such Revolving Lender, such efforts will avoid the need for such prepayment and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Revolving Lender.
 
2.18       Replacement of Revolving Lenders .  (a)   The Revolving Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Revolving Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Revolving Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.16 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) , (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Revolving Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Revolving Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Revolving Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Revolving Lender under Section 2.15 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Revolving Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Revolving Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 (provided that the Revolving Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (viii) the Revolving Borrower shall remain liable to such replaced Revolving Lender for all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) , as the case may be.
 
42

 
(b)  The Revolving Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Defaulting Lender with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law , (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Revolving Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Revolving Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Revolving Lender , shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent , (v) the replaced Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6   ( provided that the Revolving Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Revolving Borrower , the Revolving Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Lender shall have against the replaced Revolving Lender .  To the extent the Revolving Borrower is unable to replace any Defaulting Lender with a replacement financial institution, the Revolving Borrower may, to the extent that the reduction in the Total Revolving Commitments provided for in this sentence does not cause the Total Revolving Commitments to fall below the outstanding Revolving Loans , remove such Defaulting Lender by repaying such Defaulting Lender ’s outstanding Revolving Loans and reducing the Total Revolving Commitments by an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender ’s Revolving Commitment .
 
2.19       Judgment Currency
 
(a)  If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
 
43

 
(b)  The obligations of the Revolving Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “ Applicable Creditor ”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency , the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency ; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency , the Revolving Borrower as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Revolving Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder .

Each Revolving Lender represents to the Revolving Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Revolving Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Revolving Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Revolving Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Revolving Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Revolving Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Revolving Loan Parties and their Affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Revolving Lenders by the Revolving Administrative Agent hereunder, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Revolving Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Revolving Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Revolving Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Revolving Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
 
7.7       Indemnification .  The Revolving Lenders agree to indemnify the Revolving Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Guarantor or the Revolving Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Guarantor or the Revolving Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Revolving Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Revolving Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Revolving Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Revolving Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Revolving Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Revolving Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
63

 
7.8       Revolving Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity .  The Revolving Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Revolving Loan Party as though the Revolving Administrative Agent were not the Revolving Administrative Agent.  With respect to its Revolving Loans made or renewed by it, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents as any Revolving Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Revolving Administrative Agent, and the terms “Revolving Lender” and “Revolving Lenders” shall include the Revolving Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
 
7.9       Successor Revolving Administrative Agent .  The Revolving Administrative Agent may resign, or shall resign upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders in the event the Revolving Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender and is not a Performing Lender, as Revolving Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Borrower.  If the Revolving Administrative Agent shall resign as Revolving Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents, then the Required Revolving Lenders shall appoint from among the Revolving Lenders a successor agent for the Revolving Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 6(a) , 6(e) or 6(f) with respect to the Revolving Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Revolving Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Revolving Administrative Agent, and the term “Revolving Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Revolving Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Revolving Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Revolving Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Revolving Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Revolving Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Revolving Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Revolving Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Revolving Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Revolving Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Revolving Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Revolving Administrative Agent’s resignation as Revolving Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 7.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Revolving Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents.
 
7.10       Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners .  Neither the Revolving Joint Lead Arrangers nor the Joint Bookrunners shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.  No Revolving Joint Lead Arranger or Joint Bookrunner shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Revolving Lender.
 
7.11       Revolving Administrative Agent Communications .  The Revolving Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Lender a copy of each material report, certificate, statement or other communication required to be delivered to it under the Revolving Loan Documents and which has not been delivered to the Revolving Lenders; provided , that posting by the Revolving Administrative Agent to Intralinks or to a similar electronic distribution location shall satisfy the requirements of this Section.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Revolving Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Revolving Lender.  The Revolving Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Revolving Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Revolving Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Revolving Lender.

65

 
(b)  Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a) , the Revolving Commitments and Aggregate Exposure of any Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender shall be disregarded for all purposes of any determination of whether the Required Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.1(a) ), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Revolving Lenders or each affected Revolving Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

68

 
(a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Revolving Borrower , the Revolving Lenders , the Revolving Administrative Agent , all future holders of the Revolving Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Revolving Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Revolving Lender and (ii) any attempted assignment or transfer by the Revolving Borrower without such consent shall be null and void.
 
(b)  Any Revolving Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Revolving Borrower , in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the Revolving Borrower or any of its Affiliates or a natural Person ) (each, a “ Participant ”) participating interests in any Revolving Loan owing to such Revolving Lender , the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender or any other interest of such Revolving Lender hereunder and under the other Revolving Loan Documents .  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Revolving Lender ’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Revolving Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Revolving Lender shall remain the holder of any such Revolving Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents , and the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Revolving Lender in connection with such Revolving Lender ’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents .  In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Revolving Loan Document , or any consent to any departure by any Revolving Loan Party therefrom, except any amendment, waiver or consent described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 8.1   that affects such Participant, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.  The Revolving Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Revolving Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default , each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Revolving Lender under this Agreement , provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Revolving Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 8.7   as fully as if it were a Revolving Lender hereunder .  The Revolving Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13 , 2.14 and 2.15 (and subject to the limitations thereof) with respect to its participation in the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Revolving Lender ; provided that, in the case of Section 2.14 , such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.14   ( including the requirements under Section 2.14(f)   and Section 2.14(g)   (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f)   and Section 2.14(g)   shall be delivered to the participating Revolving Lender )) as if it was a Revolving Lender , and provided , further , that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Sections 2.13 , 2.14 or 2.15 (as the case may be) than the transferor Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Revolving Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Revolving Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Revolving Borrower , maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Revolving Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person ( including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans or its other obligations under any Revolving Loan Document ) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment , or Revolving Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations . The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and such Revolving Lender , each Revolving Loan Party and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement , notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
 
69

 
(c)  Any Revolving Lender other than any Conduit Lender (an “ Assignor ”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Person (other than the Revolving Borrower or any of its Affiliates ) (an “ Assignee ”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the other Revolving Loan Documents and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance , executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register ; provided that (i) the consent of the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in the case of the Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have been given if the Revolving Borrower has not responded to a proposed assignment within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of notice of such proposed assignment) shall be required in the case of (x) any assignment to a Person that is not a Revolving Lender or a Revolving Lender Affiliate or (y) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment to a Person that is not a Revolving Lender or a Revolving Lender Affiliate (except that the consent of the Revolving Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when either a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent , no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Revolving Lender or any Revolving Lender Affiliate ) shall be in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of less than $ 5,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Revolving Lender ’s interests under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment to an Assignee will include a corresponding assignment of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Framework Agreement and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement .  For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Revolving Lender and its Revolving Lender Affiliates , if any.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance , (w) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance , have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Lender hereunder with a Revolving Commitment and/or Revolving Loans as set forth therein, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall become and be deemed a party to the Framework Agreement and a “Revolving Lender” and “Pre-Export Lender” thereunder for all purposes thereof and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, shall enjoy all rights and assume all of the obligations of the Assignor as a Revolving Lender and a Pre-Export Lender set forth in the Framework Agreement, (y) the Assignee thereunder shall become and be deemed a party to the Pre-Export Credit Agreement and a “Pre-Export Lender” thereunder for all purposes thereof and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, shall enjoy all rights and assume all of the obligations of the Assignee as a Pre-Export Lender set forth in the Pre-Export Credit Agreement and (z) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance , be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Framework Agreement and the Pre-Export Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor ’s rights and obligations under this Agreement , such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto and under the Framework Agreement and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Revolving Lender hereunder without the consent of the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent any or all of the Revolving Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.6(c) .

(e)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor , an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 8.6(c) , together with payment to the Revolving Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $ 3,500 (such fee not to be payable by the Revolving Borrower , except for an assignment pursuant to Section 2.18 ) , the Revolving Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.
 
(f)    For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 8.6   concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Revolving Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in accordance with applicable law.

GUARANTY
 
This Guaranty (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms hereof and in effect from time to time, this “ Guaranty ”) is made as of the 1st day of May, 2018 by Bunge Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (together with any successors or assigns permitted hereunder, “ BL ” or “ Guarantor ”) to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“ SMBC ”), in its capacity as the administrative agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “ Revolving Administrative Agent ”), for the benefit of the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “ Revolving Credit Agreement ”), among Bunge Limited Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ BLFC ”), the Revolving Administrative Agent and the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (each a “ Revolving Lender ” and collectively, the “ Revolving Lenders ”), for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders.
 
WITNESSETH:
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement the Revolving Lenders have agreed to make revolving credit loans (the “ Revolving Loans ”) to BLFC from time to time;
 
WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Revolving Credit Agreement;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
Section 1.            Definitions .
 
(a)            For all purposes of this Guaranty, except as otherwise expressly provided in Annex A hereto or unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Revolving Credit Agreement.
 
(b)            Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the other Revolving Loan Documents, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein and in the other Revolving Loan Documents shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein and in the other Revolving Loan Documents shall be made, and prepared:
 
(i)            in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP; provided , however , that all accounting terms used in Section 8.2 below (and all defined terms used in the definition of any accounting term used in Section 8.2 below) shall have the meaning given to such terms (and defined terms) under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof applied on a basis consistent with those used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 7(a) below.  In the event of any change after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would affect the computation of any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.2 below, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Guaranty that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would preserve the original intent thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Guarantor’s financial statements at that time, provided that, until so amended such financial covenants shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein; and
 

 
(ii)            without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of BLFC, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent a change in GAAP occurs (whether or not such change is, as of the date hereof, already scheduled to occur after the date hereof) which results in operating leases being treated or classified as capital leases or which reclassifies capital leases using different terminology (e.g., as “finance leases”), such change shall not be given effect under the Revolving Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in any computation of financial covenants), and BLFC, the Guarantor and any of their respective Subsidiaries shall continue to provide financial reporting which differentiates between operating leases and capital leases, in each case in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof.

Section 2.            Guaranty Subject to the terms and conditions of this Guaranty, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (a) the prompt and punctual payment when due of all amounts due and owing (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise) in respect of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders to BLFC under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents and (b) to the extent not timely paid, all fees, costs, expenses and indemnifications of the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Administrative Agent owed by BLFC under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents, in any case described in (a) or (b) above whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred (collectively, the “ Guaranty Obligations ”).  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.  All payments by the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, and (i) with respect to Revolving Loans, shall be made to the Revolving Administrative Agent for disbursement pro rata (determined at the time such payment is sought) to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage, (ii) with respect to fees, costs, expenses and indemnifications owed to the Revolving Lenders, shall be made to the Revolving Administrative Agent for disbursement pro rata (determined at the time such payment is sought) to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages (except as otherwise provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement with respect to Defaulting Lenders) and (iii) with respect to fees, costs, expenses and indemnifications owed to the Revolving Administrative Agent, shall be made to the Revolving Administrative Agent.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranty Obligations are irrevocably, indefeasibly and unconditionally paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto BLFC may be free from any payment obligations under the Revolving Loan Documents.
 
2

 
Section 3.            Guaranty Absolute .   The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranty Obligations will be paid, regardless of any applicable law, regulation or order now or hereinafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender with respect thereto.  The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
 
(a)            Any lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in the Revolving Credit Agreement, any Transaction Document or any Revolving Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with or pursuant thereto;
 
(b)            Any change in the time, manner, terms or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranty Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Revolving Credit Agreement, any Transaction Document or any Revolving Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or executed in connection therewith or pursuant thereto;
 
(c)            Any sale, exchange or non-perfection of any property standing as security for the liabilities hereby guaranteed or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly hereunder or any setoff against any of said liabilities, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranty Obligations;
 
(d)            The failure of the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against BLFC or any other Person hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Agreement or any Transaction Document or any Revolving Loan Document;
 
(e)            Any failure by BLFC in the performance of any obligation with respect to the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other Revolving Loan Document;
 
(f)            Any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of BLFC, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting BLFC or its assets or resulting release or discharge of any of the Guaranty Obligations;
 
3

 
(g)            Any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guarantor, BLFC or any other Person (including any other guarantor) that is a party to any document or instrument executed in respect of the Guaranty Obligations;
 
(h)            Any limitation of BLFC’s obligations pursuant to subsection 8.16(b) of the Revolving Credit Agreement; or
 
(i)            Any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Guaranty Obligations or the Revolving Administrative Agent’s or the Revolving 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 a currency other than Dollars for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of 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 BLFC of any assets or their use or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof; 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 Guaranty).
 
The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected by the amount of credit extended to BLFC, any repayment by BLFC to the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders (in each case, other than the full and final payment of all of the Guaranty Obligations), the allocation by the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders of any repayment, any compromise or discharge of the Guaranty Obligations, any application, release or substitution of collateral or other security therefor, the release of any guarantor, surety or other Person obligated in connection with any document or instrument executed in respect of the Guaranty Obligations, or any further advances to BLFC.
 
Section 4.            Waiver .  The Guarantor hereby waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and dishonor, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranty Obligations and this Guaranty, (b) any requirement that the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against BLFC or any other Person or entity or any collateral or that BLFC or any other Person or entity be joined in any action hereunder, (c) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action under this Guaranty or for the collection or performance of the Guaranty Obligations, (d) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate authority, (e) any defense based upon any guaranteed party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranty Obligations except to the extent that any error or omission is caused by such guaranteed party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (f) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims and (g) any defense based upon an election of remedies which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of the Guarantor or the right of the Guarantor to proceed against BLFC or any other obligor of the Guaranty Obligations for reimbursement.
 
4

 
All dealings between BLFC or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders, on the other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Should the Revolving Administrative Agent seek to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder by action in any court, the Guarantor waives any necessity, substantive or procedural, that a judgment previously be rendered against BLFC or any other Person, or that any action be brought against BLFC or any other Person, or that BLFC or any other Person should be joined in such cause.  Such waiver shall be without prejudice to the Revolving Administrative Agent at its option to proceed against BLFC or any other Person, whether by separate action or by joinder.  The Guarantor further expressly waives each and every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of the suretyship law of the State of New York or any other applicable jurisdiction.
 
Section 5.            Several Obligations; Continuing Guaranty; Conversion .   The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are separate and apart from BLFC or any other Person (other than the Guarantor), and are primary obligations concerning which the Guarantor is the principal obligor.  The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and that it shall not be discharged except by payment in full of the Guaranty Obligations, termination of the Commitments and complete performance of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected in any way by the release or discharge of BLFC from the performance of any of the Guaranty Obligations, whether occurring by reason of law or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon Conversion in accordance with, and subject to the satisfaction, of the terms and conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement, this Guaranty will automatically be released without further action by SMBC or the Guarantor.
 
Section 6.            Subrogation Rights .   If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights at any time when all the Guaranty Obligations shall not have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Administrative Agent and Revolving Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Revolving Administrative Agent to be applied to the Guaranty Obligations as specified in the Revolving Loan Documents.  If (a) the Guarantor makes a payment to the Revolving Administrative Agent of all or any part of the Guaranty Obligations and (b) all the Guaranty Obligations have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full and the Commitments have terminated, the Revolving Administrative Agent will, at the Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of any interest in the Guaranty Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor.  The Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall have no rights of subrogation with respect to amounts due to the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders until such time as all obligations of BLFC to the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Administrative Agent have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and the Revolving Credit Agreement has been terminated.

(e)            Taxes .
 
(i)            Any payments by or on behalf of the Guarantor to a Recipient hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided , that if any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable hereunder to a Recipient, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (x) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Guarantor to Recipient hereunder shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.  In addition, the Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Revolving Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
 
(ii)            Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter the Guarantor shall send to the Revolving Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Revolving Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Guarantor showing payment thereof, a copy of the tax return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent. The Guarantor shall indemnify each Revolving Lender or the Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Revolving Administrative Agent or Revolving Lender, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Revolving Administrative Agent or Revolving Lender, as applicable, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantor by a Revolving Lender (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent), or by the Revolving Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Revolving Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
22

 
(iii)            If any Revolving Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made hereunder, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall obtain from such Revolving Lender and shall deliver to the Guarantor, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Guarantor, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Revolving Lender (or participant) is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Revolving Lender’s (or participant’s) reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Revolving Lender to a material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Revolving Lender (or participant).
 
(iv)            If the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which the Revolving Administrative Agent has been indemnified by the Guarantor or with respect to which the Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 18(e) , the Revolving Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of such Revolving Lender) shall pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Section 18(e) with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided , that the Guarantor agrees to pay, upon the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent, the amount paid over to the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 18(e)(iv) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Revolving Administrative Agent (for its own benefit or for the benefit of such Revolving Lender) in the event that the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18(e)(iv) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 18(e)(iv) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 18(e)(iv) shall not be construed to require the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Guarantor.
 
23

 
(f)            Judgment Currency .  The obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any sum due to the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender hereunder or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “ Applicable Creditor ”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Guarantor as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Guarantor contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and the Revolving Credit Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder and thereunder.

24

 
Section 20.            Reinstatement .   This Guaranty shall be reinstated to the extent of payments made to the Guarantor as reimbursement of amounts advanced by the Guarantor hereunder.  The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any part of any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Guaranty Obligations is stayed, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Revolving Administrative Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of BLFC or any other Person.
 
Section 21.            SMBC Conflict Waiver .  SMBC acts as Revolving Administrative Agent and Revolving Lender and may provide other services or facilities from time to time (the “ SMBC Roles ”).  The Guarantor hereto acknowledges and consents to any and all SMBC Roles, waives any objections it may have to any actual or potential conflict of interest caused by SMBC acting as Revolving Administrative Agent or as Revolving Lender hereunder and acting as or maintaining any of the SMBC  Roles, and agrees that in connection with any SMBC Role, SMBC may take, or refrain from taking, any action which it in its discretion deems appropriate.
 
Section 22.            Setoff .  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Series 2002-1 Early Amortization Event, each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Revolving Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor to such Revolving Lender, as applicable, under this Guaranty or any other Revolving Loan Document, including, without limitation, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Guaranty or any other Revolving Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Revolving Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
 
If any Revolving Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it under this Guaranty or any other Revolving Loan Document upon its Revolving Loans in a greater proportion than that received by any other Revolving Lender, such Revolving Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Revolving Loans held by the other Revolving Lenders so that after such purchase each Revolving Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Revolving Loans.

In the event the Pre-Export Administrative Agent expressly consents pursuant to Section 2.6(c) to a release request from the Pre-Export Borrower Representative in accordance with this Section 2.6(c) , then the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall instruct the other Agents accordingly and take the necessary steps to effect the consented release as soon as reasonably practical.

(h)            Each Pre-Export Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any funds collected into and held in the Collateral Account may be applied by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent against the principal amount of any Pre-Export Loans owed by any Pre-Export Borrower , interest due thereon and any fees or other payments due under the Pre-Export Loan Documents regardless of the commingling of such funds and the absence of traceability of such funds to any particular Pre-Export Borrower .
 
(i)            No later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which any Shipping Documents are issued with respect to Goods delivered in respect of Assigned Export Receivables the applicable Pre-Export Borrower or Off-Shore SugarCo shall deliver to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent copies of all such Shipping Documents pertaining to the delivery of such Goods.

(a)            the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Pre-Export Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period , or
 
(b)            the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Pre-Export Lenders that the LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Pre-Export Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Pre-Export Lenders ) of making or maintaining their affected Pre-Export Loans during such Interest Period ,
 
 
36

 
the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the relevant Pre-Export Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given, the Pre-Export Loans subject to such notice shall bear interest at such rate as the Pre-Export Administrative Agent reasonably determines adequately reflects the costs to the Pre-Export Lenders of maintaining such Pre-Export Loans.
 
2.11            Pro Rata Treatment and Payments .  (a)  Each Pre-Export Loan from the Pre-Export Lenders hereunder shall be made pro   rata according to the respective Pre-Export Commitments of the Pre-Export Lenders.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5(g) and Section 2.17(b) , any reduction of the Pre-Export Commitments of the Pre-Export Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Pre-Export Commitments of the Pre-Export Lenders.  Each payment by the Pre-Export Borrowers on account of any commitment fee with respect to any period shall be made pro rata according to the respective average daily Available Pre-Export Commitments of the Pre-Export Lenders for such period; provided , that the Pre-Export Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any commitment fee owed to a Pre-Export Lender with respect to any period during which such Pre-Export Lender became a Defaulting Pre-Export Lender and such Defaulting Pre-Export Lender’s Available Pre-Export Commitment shall not be included in the calculation of the commitment fees owed to the Pre-Export Lenders that are not Defaulting Pre-Export Lenders during such period.

(c)            All payments ( including prepayments) to be made by the Pre-Export Borrowers hereunder , whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time , on the due date thereof to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent , for the account of the Pre-Export Lenders , at the Funding Office , in Dollars in immediately available funds.  The Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Pre-Export Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment (other than interest payments on the Pre-Export Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day , the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day .  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
 
(d)            Unless the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Pre-Export Lender prior to the Pre-Export Borrowing Time on a Pre-Export Drawdown Date that such Pre-Export Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing on such date available to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent , the Pre-Export Administrative Agent may assume that such Pre-Export Lender has made such amount available to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent on such Pre-Export Drawdown Date , and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent may, but shall not be so required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Pre-Export Borrowers a corresponding amount. 
 
37

 
If such amount is not made available to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent by the required time on such Pre-Export Drawdown Date , and if the Pre-Export Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the applicable Pre-Export Borrower , then such Pre-Export Lender shall pay to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent , on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate determined by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Pre-Export Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent .  A certificate of the Pre-Export Administrative Agent submitted to any Pre-Export Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If the Pre-Export Administrative Agent makes such Pre-Export Lender ’s share of such borrowing available to the applicable Pre-Export Borrower , and if such Pre-Export Lender ’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent by such Pre-Export Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Pre-Export Drawdown Date , the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to such Pre-Export Loans , on demand, from such Pre-Export Borrower .  The failure of any Pre-Export Lender to make any Pre-Export Loan on a Pre-Export Drawdown Date shall not relieve any other Pre-Export Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Pre-Export Loan on such Pre-Export Drawdown Date pursuant to the provisions contained herein , but no Pre-Export Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Pre-Export Lender to make the Pre-Export Loan to be made by such other Pre-Export Lender on a Pre-Export Drawdown Date .
 
(e)            Unless the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative prior to the date of any payment due to be made by a Pre-Export Borrower hereunder that such Pre-Export Borrower will not make such payment to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent , the Pre-Export Administrative Agent may assume that such Pre-Export Borrower is making such payment, and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Pre-Export Lenders their respective pro   rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent by such Pre-Export Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Pre-Export Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the relevant Pre-Export Loans .  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or any Pre-Export Lender against any Pre-Export Borrower.
 
(f)            If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,  interest, fees or other amounts (with respect to increased costs, Taxes or otherwise) then due under any Pre-Export Loan Document , such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of fees and other right of indemnification (with respect to increased costs, Taxes or otherwise) due and payable, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with such amounts then due to such parties, (ii) second, toward payment of accrued and unpaid interest, (iii) third, toward payment of principal on the Pre-Export Loans , in the order determined by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent if not otherwise set forth hereunder ,
 
38

 
(iv) fourth, toward the discharge of any other amounts due and payable by the Pre-Export Borrowers under any Pre-Export Loan Document and (v) fifth, any surplus shall be paid, provided that the Pre-Export Borrowers are in full compliance with the terms and conditions of the Pre-Export Loan Documents , as the Pre-Export Borrower Representative may direct in writing; provided that while a Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall retain such surplus until further disposition in accordance with the terms hereof ; provided   further that this Section 2.11(f)(v)   shall not require the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or the Pre-Export Collateral Agent to release or cause the release of funds deposited in the Collateral Account other than in accordance with Section 2.6(c)   or (d) .
 
2.12            Requirements of Law .  (a)  If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Pre-Export Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (a “ Change in Law ”):
 
(i)            shall subject any Pre-Export Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or on any Pre-Export Loan made by it;
 
(ii)            shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Pre-Export Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate; or
 
(iii)            shall impose on such Pre-Export Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Pre-Export Lender, by an amount that such Pre-Export Lender deems to be material, of making or maintaining any Pre-Export Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Pre-Export Borrowers shall promptly pay such Pre-Export Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Pre-Export Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Pre-Export Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Pre-Export Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
 
(b)            If any Pre-Export Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Pre-Export Lender or any corporation controlling such Pre-Export Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Pre-Export Lender ’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Pre-Export Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
 
39

 
(taking into consideration such Pre-Export Lender ’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Pre-Export Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Pre-Export Lender to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent ) of a written request therefor, the Pre-Export Borrowers shall pay to such Pre-Export Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Pre-Export Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided that the Pre-Export Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Pre-Export Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Pre-Export Lender notifies the Pre-Export Borrower Representative of such Pre-Export Lender ’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided   further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
 
(c)            A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section  2.12   submitted by any Pre-Export Lender to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent ) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Pre-Export Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Pre-Export Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder .

(a)  All payments made by or on behalf of any Pre-Export Borrower under this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided , that if any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or any Pre-Export Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Pre-Export Agent, (x) the applicable Withholding Pre-Export Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Pre-Export Borrowers to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or such Pre-Export Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or such Pre-Export Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
 
40

(d)            The Pre-Export Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient , within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes ( including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority .  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of, calculation of and circumstances giving rise to such payment or liability delivered to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative by a Pre-Export Lender (with a copy to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent), or by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Pre-Export Lender , shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(e)            Each Pre-Export Lender shall indemnify the Pre-Export Administrative Agent , within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are attributable to such Pre-Export Lender and that are payable or paid by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent (but only to the extent that Pre-Export Borrowers have not already indemnified the Pre-Export Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Pre-Export Borrowers to do so), and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Pre-Export Lender ’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section  8.6(b)   relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register , together with all reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority .  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Pre-Export Lender by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Pre-Export Lender hereby authorizes the Pre-Export Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Pre-Export Lender under any Pre-Export Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent to the Pre-Export Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent under this paragraph   (e) .

41

 
In addition, any Pre-Export Lender , if reasonably requested by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative or the Pre-Export Administrative Agent , shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative or the Pre-Export Administrative Agent as will enable the Pre-Export Borrower Representative or the Pre-Export Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Pre-Export Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in 2.13(g) below) shall not be required if in the Pre-Export Lender ’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Pre-Export Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Pre-Export Lender .
 
(g)            If a payment made to a Pre-Export Lender under any Pre-Export Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Pre-Export Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA ( including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code , as applicable), such Pre-Export Lender shall deliver to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative or the Pre-Export Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law ( including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code ) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative or the Pre-Export Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Pre-Export Borrowers and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Pre-Export Lender has complied with such Pre-Export Lender ’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph  (g) , “ FATCA ” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Pre-Export Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Pre-Export Lender is not legally able to deliver.
 
(h)            Each Pre-Export Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section  2.13   expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(i)            If the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or a Pre-Export Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Pre-Export Borrowers or with respect to which the Pre-Export Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section  2.13 , it shall pay to the applicable Pre-Export Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Pre-Export Borrowers under this Section  2.13   with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or such Pre-Export Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided , that the Pre-Export Borrowers agree to pay, upon the request of the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or such Pre-Export Lender , the amount paid over to the Pre-Export Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph  (i)   ( plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or such Pre-Export Lender in the event that the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or such Pre-Export Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority
 
42

 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph  (i) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph  (i)   the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section  2.13(i)   shall not be construed to require the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or a Pre-Export Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Pre-Export Borrowers.
 
(j)            The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Pre-Export Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder .
 
2.14            Indemnity .  The Pre-Export Borrowers agree jointly and severally to indemnify each Pre-Export Lender for, and to hold each Pre-Export Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Pre-Export Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Pre-Export Borrower in making a borrowing of Pre-Export Loans on a Pre-Export Drawdown Date, (b) default by any Pre-Export Borrower in making any prepayment of Pre-Export Loans after any Pre-Export Borrower or the Pre-Export Borrower Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Pre-Export Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, or (d) the assignment of any Pre-Export Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, as the result of a request by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.17(a) ; provided , however , that the Pre-Export Borrowers shall not be obligated to indemnify a Defaulting Pre-Export Lender that is not a Performing Pre-Export Lender for any such loss or expense (incurred while such Pre-Export Lender was a Defaulting Pre-Export Lender) related to the prepayment or assignment of any Pre-Export Loan owed to such Defaulting Pre-Export Lender.  Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Pre-Export Loans provided for herein (excluding, however , the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Pre-Export Lender) that would have accrued to such Pre-Export Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative by any Pre-Export Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Pre-Export Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
2.15            Change of Lending Office.   Each Pre-Export Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.12 or 2.13(a) with respect to such Pre-Export Lender, it will, if requested by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Pre-Export Lender) to designate another lending office for any Pre-Export Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event;
 
43

 
provided , that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Pre-Export Lender, cause such Pre-Export Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided , further , that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Pre-Export Borrowers or the rights of any Pre-Export Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13(a) .
 
2.16            Illegality .  If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority shall, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to any Pre-Export Lender, make it unlawful for such Pre-Export Lender to make or maintain any Pre-Export Loan, then such Pre-Export Lender may, by notice to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative (with notice to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent), immediately declare that such Pre-Export Loan shall be due and payable.  The Pre-Export Borrowers shall repay any such Pre-Export Loan declared so due and payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or earlier if required by law, together with accrued interest thereon.  Each Pre-Export Lender will promptly notify the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent of any event of which such Pre-Export Lender has knowledge which would entitle it to repayment pursuant to this Section 2.16 and will use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any event if, in the sole and absolute opinion of such Pre-Export Lender, such efforts will avoid the need for such prepayment and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Pre-Export Lender.
 
2.17            Replacement of Pre-Export Lenders .  (a)  The Pre-Export Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Pre-Export Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13(a) with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Pre-Export Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.15 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13(a) , (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Pre-Export Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Pre-Export Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Pre-Export Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to such replaced Pre-Export Lender under Section 2.14 if any Pre-Export Loan owing to such replaced Pre-Export Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Pre-Export Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Pre-Export Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 (provided that the Pre-Export Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (viii) the Pre-Export Borrowers shall remain jointly and severally liable to such replaced Pre-Export Lender for all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13(a) , as the case may be.

2.18            Judgment Currency .  (a)  If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
 
(b)            The obligations of the Pre-Export Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “ Applicable Creditor ”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency , the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency ; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency , the Pre-Export Borrowers as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Pre-Export Borrowers contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder .

2.20            Extension Option .  (a)  Extension Request .  Subject to the limitations in Section 2.20(h) , the Pre-Export Borrower Representative shall be entitled to request one time that the Original Pre-Export Maturity Date be extended for an additional period of up to twelve (12) Months by giving notice (the “ Extension Request ”) to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days before the Original Pre-Export Maturity Date.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

 
Date:  [●] 1
 
To the Revolving Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Lenders party to the Revolving Credit Agreement as of the Conversion Date:
 
I, the undersigned, the [ title ] of each of the Pre-Export Borrowers, in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such facts and circumstances after the date hereof), that:
 
1.            This certificate is furnished to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent and the Pre-Export Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3(k) of the Framework Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2018 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Framework Agreement ”), among BUNGE LIMITED, BUNGE LIMITED FINANCE CORP., as revolving borrower,  USINA MOEMA AÇÚCAR E ÁLCOOL S.A. (“ Usina Moema ”), PEDRO AFONSO AÇÚCAR & BIOENERGIA LTDA. (“ Usina Pedro Afonso ”), AGROINDUSTRIAL SANTA JULIANA LTDA. (“ Usina Santa Juliana ”), MONTEVERDE AGRO-ENERGETICA S.A. (“ Usina Monteverde ”),  USINA GUARIROBA LTDA. (“ Usina Guariroba ”), USINA ITAPAGIPE AÇÚCAR E ÁLCOOL LTDA. (“ Usina Itapagipe ”), USINA FRUTAL AÇÚCAR E ÁLCOOL LTDA. (“ Usina Frutal ”), and USINA OUROESTE AÇÚCAR E ÁLCOOL LTDA. (“ Usina Ouroeste ”); Usina Moema, Usina Pedro Afonso, Usina Santa Juliana, Usina Monteverde, Usina Guariroba, Usina Itapagipe, Usina Frutal and Usina Ouroeste  shall each be referred to individually as a “ Pre-Export Borrower ” and collectively, as the “ Pre-Export Borrowers ”), the Revolving Lenders, the Pre-Export Lenders, and SUMITOMO MITSUI BANKING CORPORATION, as administrative agent under that certain Revolving Credit Agreement (in such capacity, the “ Revolving Administrative Agent ”) and that certain Pre-Export Credit Agreement (in such capacity, the “ Pre-Export Administrative Agent ”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Framework Agreement.
 
2.            For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Pre-Export Borrowers under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.
 
(a)            I have reviewed the financial statements (including, without limitation, the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Section 2.3(l) of the Framework Agreement.
 
(b)            I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Framework Agreement, the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement.



1 NTD: Solvency Certificate to be dated 5 Business Days prior to the Conversion Date.
 
 
5

 
(c) As [ title ] of each Pre-Export Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Pre-Export Borrowers.
 
3. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Pre-Export Borrowers that after giving effect to the consummation of the Conversion to be consummated on the Conversion Date, the making of any Pre-Export Loans and the use of proceeds of such Pre-Export Loans on the Conversion Date and the initial borrowing thereunder, it is my opinion that the Pre-Export Borrowers taken as a whole are and will be Solvent. As used herein, “ Solvent ” means, with respect to the Pre-Export Borrowers on a particular date, that on such date, taken as a whole (a) the fair value of the property of the Pre-Export Borrowers is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of the Pre-Export Borrowers, (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of the Pre-Export Borrowers is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Pre-Export Borrowers on their debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) the Pre-Export Borrowers do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the Pre-Export Borrowers’ ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature and (d) the Pre-Export Borrowers are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which the Pre-Export Borrowers’ property would constitute an unreasonably small capital. When determining whether the Pre-Export Borrowers are Solvent, the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Pre-Export Borrowers have caused this certificate to be executed on their behalf by an authorized officer thereof as of the date first written above.
