Core Segments
Agribusiness Segment
Overview—Our Agribusiness segment is an integrated, global business involved in purchasing, storing, transporting, processing and selling agricultural commodities and commodity products while managing risk across various product lines. The principal agricultural commodities that we handle in this segment are oilseeds, primarily soybeans, rapeseed, canola, and sunflower seed, and grains, primarily wheat and corn. We process oilseeds into vegetable oils and protein meals, principally for the food, animal feed and biodiesel industries, through a global network of facilities. Our footprint is well balanced, with approximately 34% of our processing capacity located in South America, 27% in North America, 26% in Europe and 13% in Asia-Pacific.
Customers—We sell agricultural commodities and processed commodity products to customers throughout the world. The principal purchasers of our oilseeds, grains and oilseed meal are animal feed manufacturers, livestock producers, wheat and corn millers, and other oilseed processors. As a result, our agribusiness operations generally benefit from global demand for protein, primarily poultry and pork products. The principal purchasers of the unrefined vegetable oils produced in this segment are our own edible oils businesses and third-party edible oil processing companies, which use these oils as raw materials in the production of edible oil products for the food service, food processor and retail markets. In addition, we sell oil products for various non-food uses, including industrial applications and the production of biodiesel.
Distribution and Logistics—We have developed an extensive global logistics network to transport our products, including trucks, railcars, river barges and ocean freight vessels. Typically, we either lease the transportation assets or contract with third parties for these services. To better serve our customer base and develop our global distribution and logistics capabilities, we own or operate either directly or through joint venture arrangements, various port terminal facilities, including in Brazil, Argentina, the United States, Canada, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Vietnam and Australia.
Financial Services and Activities—We also offer various financial services, principally trade structured finance and financial risk management services, to customers and other third parties. Our trade structured finance operations leverage our international trade flows to generate trade finance derived liquidity in emerging markets for third parties. Our financial risk management services include structuring and marketing risk management products to enable agricultural producers and end users of commodities to manage commodity price risk exposures. We also engage in foreign exchange and other financial instrument trading via our financial services business. Additionally, we provide financing services to farmers, primarily in Brazil, from whom we purchase soybeans and other agricultural commodities. Our farmer financing activities are an integral part of our grain and oilseed origination activities as they help assure the annual supply of raw materials for our Brazilian agribusiness operations.
Biodiesel—We own and operate conventional biodiesel facilities in Europe and Brazil and have equity method investments in conventional biodiesel producers in Europe and Argentina. This business is complementary to our core Agribusiness operations as in each case we supply some of the raw materials (refined or partially refined vegetable oil) used in their production processes.
Raw Materials—We purchase oilseeds and grains either directly from farmers or indirectly through intermediaries. Although the availability and price of agricultural commodities may, in any given year, be affected by unpredictable factors such as weather, government programs and policies, and farmer planting and selling decisions, our operations in major crop growing regions have enabled us to source adequate raw materials for our operational needs.
Competition—Due to their commodity nature, markets for our products are highly competitive and subject to product substitution. Competition is principally based on price, quality, product and service offerings, and geographic location. Major competitors include but are not limited to: The Archer Daniels Midland Co. ("ADM"), Cargill Incorporated ("Cargill"), Louis Dreyfus Group ("Louis Dreyfus"), Glencore International PLC ("Glencore"), Wilmar International Limited ("Wilmar") and COFCO International ("COFCO").

Edible Oil Products Segment
Overview—We primarily sell our edible oil products to three customer types or market channels: food processors, food service companies and retail outlets. The principal raw materials used in our Edible Oil Products segment are various crude and further processed vegetable oils and fats. These raw materials are mostly agricultural commodities that we either produce or purchase from third parties. We believe that our global integrated business model enables us to realize synergies among our Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products and Milling Products segments through raw material procurement, logistics, risk management and the co-location of industrial facilities, enabling us to supply customers with reliable, high quality products on

a global basis. As many of the products we sell in our Edible Oil Products segment are staple foods or ingredients, these businesses generally benefit from macro population and income growth rates.
Products—Our edible oil products include packaged and bulk oils and fats, including cooking oils, shortenings, margarines, mayonnaise and other products derived from the vegetable oil refining process. We primarily use soybean, sunflower, rapeseed and canola oil that we produce in our Agribusiness segment oilseed processing operations as raw materials in this business. We also refine and fractionate palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, and shea butter, and blend and refine olive oil. Additionally, we produce specialty ingredients derived from vegetable oils, such as lecithin, which is used as an emulsifier in a broad range of food products. We are a leading seller of packaged vegetable oils worldwide, based on sales. We have edible oil refining and packaging facilities in North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Our edible oil products business is largely business to business ("B2B") focused in North America, while in South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, it comprises a mix of B2B and business to consumer ("B2C") offerings.
In Brazil, our retail edible oil brands include Soya, the leading consumer packaged vegetable oil brand, as well as Primor and Salada. We are also a leading supplier of shortenings to the food processor market and also produce staple food products. In July 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell our Brazilian processed tomato assets to Stella D'oro Alimentos Ltda, and the sale was completed in October 2020. In December 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell our Brazilian margarine and mayonnaise assets to Seara Alimentos S.A., and the sale was completed in November 2020.
In the United States and Canada, we offer food manufacturers, bakeries, confectionary, and food service operators high-quality solutions to fit their goals, such as delivering desired tastes and textures, or reducing trans-fats or saturated fats in their products. Our products include trans-fat free high-oleic canola oil, which is low in saturated fats, and high-oleic soybean oil, which is highly stable and trans-fat free. We have also developed proprietary fiber addition processes that allow bakery and food processor customers to achieve significant saturated fat reductions in shortenings. We also offer expeller-pressed and physically-refined oils to food service customers under the Whole Harvest brand, and produce margarines and buttery spreads, including our leading Country Premium brand, for food service, food processor and retail private label customers.
In Europe, we are a leader in consumer packaged vegetable oils, which are sold in various geographies under brand names including Venusz, Floriol, Kujawski, Unisol, Kaliakra, Ideal, Oleina, Oliwier, Komili and Kirlangic. We are also a leader in margarines, under brand names including Smakowita, Slynne, Maslo Rosline, Masmix, Optima, Finuu, Deli Reform, Keiju, Venusz, Evesol, Carlshamn and Voimix. Additionally, we produce a variety of products for the confectionary and bakery industries. We are also a B2B oils supplier in the Western European food service channel.
In Asia, we offer a range of consumer and B2B products, including bakery, culinary, confectionary and infant nutrition products. In India, our consumer brands include Dalda, Ginni and Chambal edible oils; Dalda and Gagan vanaspatis; and Masterline professional bakery fats. In China, we offer consumer edible oils products under the Dou Wei Jia brand.
Customers—Our customers include baked goods companies, snack food producers, confectioners, restaurant chains, food service operators, infant nutrition companies, and other food manufacturers who use vegetable oils and shortenings as ingredients in their operations. Other customers include grocery chains, wholesalers, distributors, and other retailers who sell to consumers either under our own brand names or private labels. These customers include global and national food processors and manufacturers, many of which are leading brand owners in their product categories.
Competition—Competition is based on a number of factors, including price, raw material procurement, distribution capability, cost structure, brand recognition, product quality, product innovation, technical support, composition and nutritional value, and advertising and promotion. Our products may compete with widely advertised, well-known, branded products, as well as private label and customized products. Our principal competitors in the Edible Oil Products segment include, but are not limited to: ADM, AAK AB, Cargill, Fuji Oil Co. Ltd. and Wilmar, as well as local competitors in each region.

Milling Products Segment
Overview—We primarily sell our milling products to three customer types or market channels: food processors, food service companies and retail outlets. The principal raw materials used in our milling products businesses are wheat, corn, and other agricultural commodities sourced from our Agribusiness segment or directly from third parties. Similar to our edible oils business, we realize synergies among our other segments in areas such as raw material procurement, logistics, risk management and the co-location of industrial facilities, enabling us to supply customers with reliable, high quality products on a global basis. As many of the products we sell in our Milling Products segment are staple foods or ingredients, these businesses generally benefit from macro population and income growth rates. Additionally, our Milling Products segment is focused on capitalizing on growing global consumer food trends, including a desire for less processed, healthier foods, interest in new flavors, and

Our corn milling products primarily consist of dry-milled corn meals and flours, wet-milled masa and flours, flaking and brewers' grits, as well as soy-fortified corn meal, corn-soy blends, and other similar products. As part of our corn portfolio, we also sell whole grain and fiber ingredients. In the United States, we offer ancient grains, such as quinoa and millet, in our portfolio. We also produce a range of extruded products including die-cut pellets for the snack food industry. Additionally, we offer non-GMO products in the United States, including corn varieties.
Customers—The primary customers for our wheat milling products are food processing, bakery and food service companies. The primary customers for our corn milling products are companies in the food-processing sector, such as cereal, snack, bakery and brewing companies, as well as the U.S. Government under its humanitarian assistance programs.
Competition—Competition is based on a variety of factors, including price, raw material procurement, brand recognition, product quality, nutritional profile, dietary trends and distribution capabilities. In Brazil, our major competitors are M. Dias Branco, J. Macedo and Moinho Anaconda, as well as many small regional producers. Our major competitors in Mexico include Elizondo Agroalimentos, S.A. de C.V., Harinera Anáhuac, S.A. de C.V., Molinera de México S.A. de C.V., and Grupo Trimex S.A. Our major competitors in North American corn milling include Cargill, Didion Inc., SEMO Milling, LLC, Life Line Foods, LLC and Gruma S.A.B. de C.V.

Fertilizer Segment
Overview—Through our operations in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, we produce, blend and distribute a range of liquid and dry NPK fertilizers, including nitrogen-based liquid and solid phosphate fertilizers. NPK refers to nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K), the main components of chemical fertilizers, used for the production of crops, including soybeans, corn and wheat. Our operations in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay are closely linked to our grain origination activities, as we supply fertilizer to producers that supply us with grain. In Brazil, we operate a terminal in the Port of Santos that discharges and handles imported fertilizers and provides logistics and support services. Our Brazilian grain operations also supply farmers, through barter agreements, with third-party produced fertilizer.
Products and Services—We offer a complete fertilizer portfolio, including SSP, ammonia, and ammonium thiosulfate that we produce, as well as monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, triple superphosphate, urea, urea-ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride that we purchase from third parties and resell. We primarily market our products under the Bunge brand, with liquid fertilizers marketed under the Solmix brand.
Raw Materials—Our main raw materials in this segment are concentrated phosphate rock, sulfuric acid, natural gas and sulfur. The prices of fertilizer raw materials are typically based on international prices that reflect global supply and demand factors, as well as global transportation and other logistics costs. Each of these fertilizer raw materials is readily available in the international market from multiple sources.
Competition—Competition is based on a number of factors, including delivered price, product offering and quality, location, access to raw materials, production efficiency and customer service, sometimes including customer financing terms. Our main competitors in our fertilizer operations in Argentina are Nutrien Ltd. ("Agrium/ASP"), YPF S.A., Profertil S.A., COFCO ("Nidera B.V."), Yara International ASA and Louis Dreyfus.

Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other includes salaries and overhead for corporate functions that are not allocated to our individual reporting segments because the operating performance of such segments is evaluated by our chief operating decision maker exclusive of these items, as well as certain other activities including Bunge Ventures, the Company's captive insurance, and securitization activities.

Non-core Segment
Sugar and Bioenergy Segment
Our Sugar and Bioenergy segment primarily comprises our 50% interest in BP Bunge Bioenergia, our joint venture with BP formed in December 2019 by the combination of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP. BP Bunge Bioenergia operates on a stand-alone basis with a total of 11 mills located across the Southeast, North and Midwest regions of Brazil. BP Bunge Bioenergia is now the second largest operator by effective crushing capacity in the Brazilian sugarcane ethanol biofuel industry. Our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations had previously formed the majority of our Sugar and Bioenergy segment through which we produced and sold sugar and ethanol derived from sugarcane, as well as energy derived from the sugar and ethanol production process. As a result of forming this joint venture, we ceased to consolidate our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations in our consolidated financial statements and now account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our reported Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2020 include our share of the net earnings in BP Bunge Bioenergia, whereas our Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2019 reflect our former 100% ownership interest in the Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations contributed to the Joint Venture. Although we are committed to supporting the growth and development of BP Bunge Bioenergia, our long-term goal is to seek strategic opportunities for our investment in the joint venture, hence the designation of such operations as Non-core.
In connection with the formation of the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture, we combined our eight mills, the plantations we owned and managed, and related assets, together with BP’s sugar and bioenergy business in Brazil, which included three mills and related assets. The combined mills of the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture are supplied with sugarcane grown on approximately 450,000 hectares of land. In 2020, approximately 75% of the joint venture's total milled sugarcane came from plantations owned or managed by BP Bunge Bioenergia and 25% was purchased from third-party suppliers. These mills allow the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture to produce sugar, ethanol and electricity, as further described below.
Sugar-The BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture produces two types of sugar: very high polarity ("VHP") raw sugar and crystal sugar. VHP sugar is similar to the raw sugar traded on major commodities exchanges, including the standard NY11 contract, and is sold almost exclusively for export. Crystal sugar is a non-refined white sugar and is principally sold domestically in Brazil.
Ethanol-BP Bunge Bioenergia produces and sells two types of ethanol: hydrous and anhydrous. Hydrous ethanol is consumed directly as a transport fuel, while anhydrous ethanol is blended with gasoline in transport fuels.
Electricity-BP Bunge Bioenergia generates electricity from burning sugarcane bagasse in its mills.
The sugar produced at BP Bunge Bioenergia’s mills is sold in both the Brazilian domestic market, primarily in the confectionary and food processing industries, and export markets. The ethanol is sold primarily to customers for use in the Brazilian domestic market to meet the demand for fuel, with sugar and ethanol also exported in the international market. BP Bunge Bioenergia competes with other sugar and ethanol producers both in Brazil and internationally, and with beet sugar processors, along with producers of other sweeteners and biofuels in the global market. Major competitors in Brazil include Cosan Limited/Raizen, São Martinho S.A. and Biosev ("Louis Dreyfus"). Major international competitors include British Sugar PLC, Südzucker AG, Cargill, Tereos S.A., Sucden S.A., ED&F Man Limited and COFCO.

Risk Management
Risk management is a fundamental aspect of our business. Engaging in the hedging of risk exposures and anticipating market developments are critical to protecting and enhancing our return on assets. As such, we are active in physical and derivative markets for agricultural commodities, energy, ocean freight, foreign currency, and interest rates. We seek to leverage the market insights that we gain through our global operations across our businesses by actively managing our physical and financial positions on a daily basis. See "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
Insurance
In each country in which we conduct business, our operations and assets are subject to varying degrees of risk and uncertainty. We insure our businesses and assets in each country in a manner that we deem appropriate for a company of our size and activities, based on an analysis of the relative risks and costs. We believe that our geographic dispersion of assets helps mitigate the risk to our business from an adverse event affecting a specific facility. However, if we were to incur a significant loss or liability for which we were not insured in full or in part, it could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Operating Segments and Geographic Areas
We have included financial information about our reportable segments and our operations by geographic area in Note 28- Segment Information to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Research and Development, Innovation, Patents and Licenses
Our research and development activities are focused on developing products and improving processes that will drive growth or otherwise add value to our core business operations. In our Edible Oils and Milling businesses, we have 15 research and development centers globally to support product development and enhancement. Additionally, Bunge Ventures, our corporate venture capital unit, invests in start-ups and other early stage companies that are developing new technologies relevant to our industries.
We own trademarks, patents and licenses covering certain of our products and manufacturing processes. However, neither our business as a whole nor any segment is dependent on any specific trademark, patent or license.
Seasonality
In our Agribusiness segment, while there is a degree of seasonality in the growing season and procurement of our principal raw materials, such as oilseeds and grains, we typically do not experience material fluctuations in volume between the first and second half of the year, since we are geographically diversified between the northern and southern hemispheres, and we sell and distribute products throughout the year. However, the first quarter of the year has generally been our weakest in terms of financial results due to the timing of the North and South American oilseed harvests, as the North American harvest peaks in the third and fourth quarters, and the South American harvest peaks in the second quarter. Our North and South American grain merchandising and oilseed processing activities are, therefore, generally at lower levels during the first quarter.
In our Edible Oil Products and Milling Products segments, demand for certain of our food items may be influenced by holidays and other annual events.
In our Fertilizer segment, we are subject to seasonal trends based on the South American agricultural growing cycle as farmers typically purchase the bulk of their fertilizer needs in the second half of the year.
Government Regulation
In each of the countries in which we operate, we are subject to a variety of laws and regulations governing various aspects of our business, including general business regulations as well as those governing the manufacturing, handling, storage, transport, marketing and sale of our products. These include laws and regulations relating to facility licensing and permitting, food and feed safety, the handling and production of regulated substances, nutritional and labeling requirements, global trade compliance and other matters. Our operations and those of our suppliers are also subject to restrictions on land use in certain protected areas, forestry reserve requirements, and limitations on water use. Additionally, from time-to-time, agricultural production shortfalls in certain regions, and growing demand for agricultural commodities for feed, food and fuel use have caused prices for relevant agricultural commodities to rise. High commodity prices and regional crop shortfalls have led, and in the future may lead, governments to impose price controls, tariffs, export restrictions and other measures designed to ensure adequate domestic supplies and/or mitigate price increases in their domestic markets, as well as increase the scrutiny of competitive conditions in their markets.
Many countries use and produce biofuels as alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. Biofuels convert crops, such as sugarcane, corn, soybeans, palm, rapeseed or canola, and other oilseeds, into ethanol or biodiesel to extend, enhance or substitute for fossil fuels. Production of biofuels has increased significantly in the last decade in response to both periods of high fossil fuel prices and to government incentives to produce biofuels offered in many countries, including the United States, Brazil, Argentina and several South East Asian and European countries. Furthermore, in several countries, governmental authorities are mandating biofuel use in transport fuels at specified levels. As such, the markets for agricultural commodities used in the production of biofuels have become increasingly affected by the growth of the biofuels industry and related legislation.
Environmental Matters and Sustainability
We incorporate sustainability into many areas of our business, from how we plan and develop our strategic goals and operate our facilities to how we engage with our customers, suppliers, employees, communities and other stakeholders. We make decisions across our value chains built on a foundation of ethical leadership, accountability and environmental stewardship. We want to be a leader in our industry, urging sustainability and responsibility at every step along the supply chain from the farm to the table.

Table of Contents

To meet today's challenges and contribute to the solutions ahead, we have defined sustainability goals that incorporate activities and commitments supporting robust action on climate change, promoting responsible supply chains, and providing accountability for all that we do.
Action on Climate—We implement innovative solutions designed to minimize our environmental footprint and support projects and activities that strengthen our approach to fighting climate change.
Responsible Supply Chains—We promote sustainable agriculture and implement robust projects that are designed to protect and improve the environment, while supporting the social and economic well-being of growers and local communities.
Accountability—We aim to be an accountable leader within our industry, helping to raise the bar on our sector’s performance by regularly tracking and disclosing progress on our commitments and sustainability performance.
We are subject to various environmental protection and occupational health and safety laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate, and we incur costs to comply with these requirements. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to environmental matters has not had a material financial or competitive effect on our business. However, due to our extensive operations across multiple industries and jurisdictions globally, we are exposed to the risk of claims and liabilities under these laws and regulations. Violation can result in substantial fines, administrative sanctions, criminal penalties, revocations of operating permits and/or shutdowns of our facilities.
Additionally, our business could be affected in the future by the regulation or taxation of greenhouse gas emissions or policies related to national emission reduction plans. We regularly assess the potential impacts to our business resulting from regulation or policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Potential consequences could include increased energy, transportation and raw material costs, and we may be required to make additional investments to modify our facilities, equipment and processes. As a result, the effects of additional climate change regulatory initiatives could have adverse impacts on our business and results of operations. Physical effects of climate change, including shifts in agricultural production areas and climatic volatility, could in the long-term result in incidents of stranded physical assets. We believe the breadth and diversification of our global asset network, as well as our participation in the global trade of agricultural commodities, help to mitigate these risks.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors
Risk Factors
        Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of the risks and uncertainties described below. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our financial condition and business operations. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements."
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industries
Our operations may be adversely impacted as a result of pandemic outbreaks, including COVID-19.
In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first reported and, on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization designated the outbreak as a global pandemic. To date, millions of cases have been confirmed globally, and the number of reported cases continues to increase, including in all major geographies in which we operate. The ongoing pandemic could adversely affect our operations, major facilities, or employees’ and consumers’ health, which could interfere

with general commercial activity related to our supply chain and customer base, and in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Throughout 2020 and the early 2021, government officials in numerous countries around the world imposed quarantines and significant restrictions, including shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders, that prohibited many employees from travelling and entering their place of work. Many of these restrictions remain in place today. Additionally, an increase in the number of observed COVID-19 cases may lead to governments re-imposing previous travel and work restrictions or imposing additional restrictions. In locations where such restrictions are in place, Bunge has been deemed an essential or life-sustaining operation. To date, we have not seen a significant disruption in our supply chain, have been able to mitigate logistics and distribution issues that have arisen, and substantially all of our facilities around the world have continued to operate at or near normal levels. We have, however, experienced minor temporary workforce disruptions in our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have implemented employee safety measures, based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and local requirements and guidelines, across all our supply chain facilities, including proper hygiene, social distancing, mask use, and temperature screenings. These measures may not be sufficient to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among our employees. Further, in the future, it may be challenging to obtain and process raw materials to support our business needs, and individuals could become ill, quarantined or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions, which may place constraints on the timeliness of our production capabilities or may increase our costs. Also, governments may impose other laws, regulations or taxes that could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. The challenges faced in implementing nationwide COVID-19 vaccinations can also extend the impacts on our business. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has moderated and the business and social distancing restrictions have eased, we may continue to experience similar effects to our businesses, consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows resulting from a recessionary economic environment that may persist.
In addition, we cannot predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our customers, suppliers, vendors, joint venture and other business partners, and each of their financial conditions. Any material adverse effect on these parties could adversely impact us. In this regard, the potential duration and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and on our business, financial condition and results of operations are difficult to predict and cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty, but the pandemic has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets and increased levels of unemployment and economic uncertainty, which may adversely impact our business. These developments may lead to significant negative impacts on customer spending, demand for our products, the ability of our customers to pay, our financial condition and the financial condition of our suppliers, and may also negatively impact our access to external sources of financing to fund our operations or make capital expenditures.
The potential effects of COVID-19 also could impact many of our risk factors, including, but not limited to, our profitability, laws and regulations affecting our business, fluctuations in foreign currency markets, the availability of future borrowings, the costs of current and future borrowings, valuation of our pension assets and obligations, credit risks of our customers and counterparties, our business transformation initiatives and an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. However, given the evolving health, economic, social, and governmental environments, the potential impact that COVID-19 could have on our risk factors further described below, and others that cannot yet be identified, remains uncertain.
Adverse weather conditions, including as a result of climate change, may adversely affect the availability, quality and price of agricultural commodities and agricultural commodity products, as well as our operations and operating results.
Adverse weather conditions have historically caused volatility in the agricultural commodity industry and consequently in our operating results by causing crop failures or significantly reduced harvests, which may affect the supply and pricing of the agricultural commodities that we sell and use in our business, reduce demand for our fertilizer products and negatively affect the creditworthiness of agricultural producers who do business with us.
Severe adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes or severe storms, may also result in extensive property damage, extended business interruption, personal injuries and other loss and damage to us. Our operations also rely on dependable and efficient transportation services. A disruption in transportation services, as a result of weather conditions or otherwise, may also significantly adversely impact our operations.
Additionally, the potential physical impacts of climate change are uncertain and may vary by region. These potential effects could include changes in rainfall patterns, water shortages, changing sea levels, changing storm patterns and intensities, and changing temperature levels that could adversely impact our costs and business operations, the location, costs and competitiveness of global agricultural commodity production and related storage and processing facilities and the supply and demand for agricultural commodities. These effects could be material to our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

We are subject to fluctuations in agricultural commodity and other raw material prices, energy prices and other factors outside of our control that could adversely affect our operating results.
Prices for agricultural commodities and their by-products, including, among others, soybeans, corn, wheat, sugar and ethanol, like those of other commodities, are often volatile and sensitive to local and international changes in supply and demand caused by factors outside of our control, including farmer planting and selling decisions, currency fluctuations, government agriculture programs and policies, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), governmental restrictions or mandates, global inventory levels, demand for biofuels, weather and crop conditions, and demand for and supply of competing commodities and substitutes. These factors may cause volatility in our operating results.
Our fertilizer business may also be adversely affected by fluctuations in the prices of agricultural commodities and fertilizer raw materials that are caused by market factors beyond our control. Increases in fertilizer prices due to higher raw material costs have in the past and could in the future adversely affect demand for our fertilizer products. Additionally, as a result of competitive conditions in our Edible Oils Products, Milling Products, and Fertilizer segments, we may not be able to recoup increases in raw material costs through increases in sales prices for our products, which may adversely affect our profitability.
Additionally, our operating costs and the selling prices of certain of our products are sensitive to changes in energy prices. Our industrial operations utilize significant amounts of electricity, natural gas and coal, and our transportation operations are dependent upon diesel fuel and other petroleum-based products. Significant increases in the cost of these items and currency fluctuations could adversely affect our operating costs and results. We also sell certain biofuel products, such as ethanol and biodiesel, which are closely related to, or may be substituted for, petroleum products. As a result, the selling prices of ethanol and biodiesel can be impacted by the selling prices of oil, gasoline and diesel fuel. In turn, the selling prices of the agricultural commodities and commodity products that we sell, such as corn and vegetable oils that are used as feedstocks for biofuels, are also sensitive to changes in the market price for biofuels, and consequently world petroleum prices. Prices for petroleum products and biofuels are affected by market factors and government fuel policies, over which we have no control. Lower prices for oil, gasoline or diesel fuel could result in decreased selling prices for ethanol, biodiesel and their raw materials, which could adversely affect our revenues and operating results.
Our business is seasonal, and our results may fluctuate depending on the harvest cycle of the crops upon which we rely and seasonal fluctuations related to the sale of our consumer products.
As with any agricultural business enterprise, our business operations are seasonal in nature. For example, in our Agribusiness segment, while there is a degree of seasonality in the growing season and procurement of our principal raw materials, such as oilseeds and grains, we typically do not experience material fluctuations in volume between the first and second half of the year since we are geographically diversified between the northern and southern hemispheres. The first quarter of the year, however, has generally been our weakest in terms of financial results due to the timing of the North and South American oilseed harvests, as the North American oilseed harvest peaks in the third and fourth quarters, while the South American harvest peaks in the second quarter. This creates price fluctuations, which result in fluctuations in our inventories and a degree of seasonality in our gross profit. In our Fertilizer segment, we are subject to seasonal trends based on the South American agricultural growing cycle as farmers typically purchase the bulk of their fertilizer needs in the second half of the year. In addition, certain of our consumer food products are influenced by holidays and other annual events. Seasonality could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs.
We face intense competition in each of our businesses.
We face significant competition in each of our businesses and we have numerous competitors, some of which are larger, more diversified and have greater financial resources than we have. Additionally, in recent years we have experienced regional Agribusiness competitors entering new geographies where previously they did not compete with us, and certain customers seeking to procure certain commodities directly rather than through historical suppliers such as us. As many of the products we sell are global commodities, the markets for our products are highly price competitive, and in many cases also sensitive to product substitution. Additionally, the geographic location of assets can competitively advantage or disadvantage us with respect to our competitors in certain regions. We also face competition from changing technologies and shifting industry practices, such as increased on-farm crop storage in several regions, which allows producers to retain commodities for extended periods and increase price pressure on purchasers such as us. To compete effectively, we must continuously focus on improving efficiency in our production and distribution operations, developing and offering products that meet customer needs, optimizing our geographic presence in key markets, and developing and maintaining appropriate market share and customer relationships. We also compete for talent in our industries, particularly commercial personnel. Competition could cause us to lose market share and talented employees, exit certain lines of business, increase marketing or other expenditures, increase our raw material costs or reduce pricing, each of which could have an adverse effect on our
13

business and profitability.
We are vulnerable to the effects of supply and demand imbalances in our industries.
Historically, the market for some agricultural commodities and fertilizer products has been cyclical, with periods of high demand and capacity utilization stimulating new plant investment and the addition of incremental processing or production capacity by industry participants to meet the demand. The timing and extent of this expansion may then produce excess supply conditions in the market, which, until the supply/demand balance is again restored, negatively impacts product prices and operating results. During times of reduced market demand, we may suspend or reduce production at some of our facilities. The extent to which we efficiently manage available capacity at our facilities will affect our profitability. We also expect the results from our equity investment in the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture to be impacted by any potential shortage of, or increasing costs for, sugarcane.
We are subject to global and regional economic downturns and related risks.
The level of demand for our products is affected by global and regional demographic and macroeconomic conditions, including population growth rates and changes in standards of living. A significant downturn in global economic growth, or recessionary conditions in major geographic regions, may lead to reduced demand for agricultural commodities and food products, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, deteriorating economic and political conditions in our major markets affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as increased unemployment, decreases in disposable income, declines in consumer confidence, or economic slowdowns or recessions, could cause a decrease in demand for our products.
Additionally, weak global economic conditions and adverse conditions in global financial and capital markets, including constraints on the availability of credit, have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, the financial condition and creditworthiness of some of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties, which in turn may negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for more information.
For example, Brazil has experienced significant political uncertainty in recent years due to high profile political corruption scandals, the impeachment of a former president, and general uncertainty regarding the election of a new president who took office during 2019. Additionally, Brazil’s economy has been slow to recover from a severe downturn in 2015 and 2016. The depressed and uncertain economic and political environment in Brazil has adversely affected consumer confidence levels and spending, which has led to reduced demand for products in our Edible Oils Products and Milling Products segments in the country. The pace of economic improvement is uncertain, and there can be no assurance that economic and political conditions will not continue to affect market and consumer confidence or deteriorate further in the near term. Additionally, a slowdown in China's economy over a prolonged period, including due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, could lead to reduced global demand for agricultural commodities. To the extent that such economic and political conditions negatively impact consumer and business confidence and consumption patterns or volumes, our business and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected.
We are subject to economic, political and other risks of doing business globally and in emerging markets.
We are a global business with a substantial majority of our assets and operations located outside the United States. In addition, our business strategies may involve expanding or developing our business in emerging market regions, including Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Due to the international nature of our business, we are exposed to various risks of international operations, including:
adverse trade policies or trade barriers on agricultural commodities and commodity products;
government regulations and mandates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;
inflation and hyperinflation and adverse economic effects resulting from governmental attempts to control inflation, such as the imposition of wage and price controls and higher interest rates;
changes in laws and regulations or their interpretation or enforcement in the countries where we operate, such as tax laws, including the risk of future adverse tax regulations relating to our status as a Bermuda company;
difficulties in enforcing agreements or judgments and collecting receivables in foreign jurisdictions;
exchange controls or other currency restrictions and limitations on the movement of funds, such as on the remittance of dividends by subsidiaries;
inadequate infrastructure and logistics challenges;
sovereign risk and the risk of government intervention, including through expropriation, or regulation of the economy or natural resources, including restrictions on foreign ownership of land or other assets;
the requirement to comply with a wide variety of laws and regulations that apply to international operations,
14

Table of Contents

including, without limitation, economic sanctions regulations, labor laws, import and export regulations, anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, as well as other laws or regulations discussed in this "Item 1A. Risk Factors" section;
challenges in maintaining an effective internal control environment with operations in multiple international locations, including language differences, varying levels of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") expertise in international locations and multiple financial information systems; and
changes in a country’s or region’s economic or political condition (e.g., Brexit);
labor disruptions, civil unrest, significant political instability, coup attempts, wars or other armed conflict or acts of terrorism.
These risks could adversely affect our operations, business strategies and operating results.
As a result of our international operations, we are also exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations. Changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies, particularly the Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, the euro, and Chinese yuan/renminbi affect our revenues and expenses that are denominated in local currencies, affect farm economics in those regions and may also have a negative impact on the value of our assets located outside of the United States.
Additionally, there continues to be a great deal of uncertainty regarding U.S. and global trade policies for companies with multinational operations like ours. In recent years, there has been an increase in populism and nationalism in various countries around the world and consequently historical free trade principles are being challenged. Further, the transition from the Trump administration to the Biden administration increases uncertainty regarding U.S. trade policies. As we continue to operate our business globally, our success will depend, in part, on the nature and extent of any such changes and how well we are able to anticipate, respond to and effectively manage any such changes.
Government policies and regulations affecting the agricultural sector and related industries could adversely affect our operations and profitability.
Agricultural commodity production and trade flows are significantly affected by government policies and regulations. Governmental policies affecting the agricultural industry, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, import and export restrictions, price controls on agricultural commodities and energy policies (including biofuels mandates), can influence industry profitability, the planting of certain crops versus other uses of agricultural resources, the location and size of crop production, whether unprocessed or processed commodity products are traded, and the volume and types of imports and exports. Additionally, regulation of financial markets and instruments in the United States and internationally may create uncertainty as these laws are adopted and implemented and may impose significant additional risks and costs that could impact our risk management practices. Further, increases in food and fertilizer prices have in the past resulted in increased scrutiny of our industries under antitrust and competition laws in various jurisdictions and increase the risk that these laws could be interpreted, administered or enforced in a manner that could affect our operations or impose liabilities on us that could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. Future governmental policies, regulations or actions impacting our industries may adversely affect the supply of, demand for and prices of our products, restrict our ability to do business in existing and target markets, or engage in risk management activities and otherwise cause our financial results to suffer.
Finally, international trade disputes can adversely affect agricultural commodity trade flows by limiting or disrupting trade between countries or regions. For example, a trade dispute between the U.S. and China that began in 2018 has led to both countries implementing tariffs on imported goods from the other, including on imports of U.S. soybeans into China. This has led to significant volatility in commodity prices, disruptions in historical trade flows and shifts in planting patterns in the U.S. and South America, which have presented challenges and uncertainties for our business. We cannot predict the effects that future trade policy or the terms of any negotiated trade agreements and their impact on our business could have. Additionally, failure to resolve the trade dispute between the countries may also lead to unexpected operating difficulties in China, enhanced regulatory scrutiny in China, greater difficulty transferring funds, or negative currency impacts.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, divestitures or joint ventures.
We have been an active acquirer of other companies, and we have joint ventures with several partners. Part of our strategy involves acquisitions, alliances and joint ventures designed to expand or optimize our portfolio of businesses. Our ability to benefit from acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances depends on many factors, including our ability to identify suitable prospects, access funding sources on acceptable terms, negotiate favorable transaction terms and successfully consummate and integrate any businesses we acquire. In addition, we proactively review our portfolio of businesses in order to identify opportunities to enhance shareholder value and may decide as a result of such reviews or otherwise, from time to time, to divest certain of our assets or businesses by selling them or entering into joint ventures. Our ability to successfully complete a divestiture will depend on, among other things, our ability to identify buyers that are prepared to acquire such assets or businesses on acceptable terms and to adjust and optimize our retained businesses following the divestiture.
15

Table of Contents

Our acquisition, joint venture or divestiture activities may involve unanticipated delays, costs and other problems. If we encounter unexpected problems with acquisitions, joint ventures or divestitures, our senior management may be required to divert attention away from other aspects of our businesses to address these problems. Additionally, we may fail to consummate proposed acquisitions, joint ventures or divestitures, after incurring expenses and devoting substantial resources, including management time, to such transactions.
Acquisitions also pose the risk that we may be exposed to successor liability relating to actions by an acquired company and its management before the acquisition. The due diligence we conduct in connection with an acquisition, the controls and policies we implement at acquired companies and any contractual guarantees or indemnities that we receive from the sellers of acquired companies, may not be sufficient to protect us from, or compensate us for, actual liabilities. A material liability associated with an acquisition could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations and reduce the benefits of the acquisition. Additionally, acquisitions involve other risks, such as differing levels of management and internal control effectiveness at the acquired entities, systems integration risks, the risk of impairment charges relating to goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, the risk of significant accounting charges and expenses resulting from the completion and integration of a sizable acquisition, the need to fund increased capital expenditures and working capital requirements, our ability to retain and motivate employees of acquired entities, compliance and reputational risks and other unanticipated problems and liabilities.
Divestitures may also expose us to potential liabilities or claims for indemnification, as we may be required to retain certain liabilities or indemnify buyers for certain matters, including environmental or litigation matters, associated with the assets or businesses that we sell. The magnitude of any such retained liability or indemnification obligation may be difficult to quantify at the time of the transaction, and its cost to us could ultimately exceed the proceeds we receive for the divested assets or businesses. Divestitures also have other inherent risks, including possible delays in closing transactions (including potential difficulties in obtaining regulatory approvals), the risk of lower-than-expected sales proceeds for the divested businesses and unexpected costs or other difficulties associated with the separation of the businesses to be sold from our information technology and other systems and management processes, including the loss of key personnel. Additionally, expected cost savings or other anticipated efficiencies or benefits from divestitures may also be difficult to achieve or maximize.
Additionally, we have several joint ventures and investments where we may have limited control over governance, financial reporting and operations. As a result, we face certain operating, financial and other risks relating to these investments, including risks related to the financial strength of our joint venture partners or their willingness to provide adequate funding for the joint venture, having differing objectives from our partners, the inability to implement some actions with respect to the joint venture's activities that we may believe are favorable if the joint venture partner does not agree, compliance risks relating to actions of the joint venture or our partners and the risk that we will be unable to resolve disputes with the joint venture partner. As a result, these investments may contribute significantly less than anticipated to our earnings and cash flows. In December 2019, we entered into the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture related to our sugar and ethanol business in Brazil, which resulted in the transfer of all assets and operations of this business into a new entity where we hold a 50% interest. We share control with BP, our joint venture partner, in BP Bunge Bioenergia and as a result our ability to realize the benefits of this joint venture will depend in part on our ability to work with and cooperate with BP and the ability of the leadership of BP Bunge Bioenergia to, among other things, integrate the operations of our business with that of BP into one organization, manage costs associated with such integration, retain key employees, and realize the synergies expected from the joint venture. In addition, the business and financial performance of the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture may be adversely affected if there is a significant shortage of sugarcane supply, which is the principal raw material used in the production of ethanol and sugar, or if there is an increase in the cost of available sugarcane, which could result from any termination of the joint venture’s partnership or supply contracts.
We are subject to industry and other risks that could adversely affect our reputation and financial results.
We are subject to food and feed industry risks which include, but are not limited to, spoilage, contamination, tampering or other adulteration of products, product liability claims and recalls. We are also subject to shifts in customer and consumer preferences and concerns regarding the outbreak of disease associated with livestock and poultry, including avian or swine influenza. Also, increasing focus on climate change, deforestation, water, animal welfare and human rights concerns and other risks associated with the global food system may lead to increased activism focusing on food companies and their suppliers, governmental intervention and consumer responses. These risks could adversely affect our or our suppliers’ reputations and businesses and our ability to procure the materials we need to operate our business.
As a company whose products comprise staple food and feed products sold globally, as well as ingredients included in trusted food brands of our customers, maintaining a good corporate reputation is critical to our continued success. Reputational value is based in large part on perceptions, which can shift rapidly in response to negative incidents. The failure or alleged failure to maintain high standards for quality, safety, integrity, environmental sustainability and social

responsibility, including with respect to raw materials and services obtained from suppliers, even if untrue, may result in tangible effects, such as reduced demand for our products, disruptions to our operations, increased costs and loss of market share to competitors. Our reputation and results of operations could also be adversely impacted by changing consumer preferences and perceptions relating to some of the products we sell, such as with regard to the quantity and type of fats, sugars and grains consumed, as well as concerns regarding genetically modified crops. Failure to anticipate, adapt or respond effectively to these trends or issues may result in material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to numerous laws and regulations globally, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Due to our global business operations, we are required to comply with numerous laws and regulations in the countries where we operate. These include general business regulations, such as with respect to taxes, accounting, anti-corruption and fair competition, global trade, trade sanctions, product safety, the manufacturing, transport and sale of our products, environmental matters and the handling and production of regulated substances. In addition to liabilities arising out of our current and future operations for which we have ongoing processes to manage compliance with regulatory obligations, we may be subject to environmental liabilities for past operations at current facilities and in some cases to liabilities for past operations at facilities that we no longer own or operate. We may also be subject to liabilities for operations of acquired companies. Our industrial activities can also result in serious accidents that could result in personal injuries, facility shutdowns, reputational harm to our business and/or the expenditure of significant amounts to remediate safety issues or repair damaged facilities. We may incur material costs or liabilities to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may subject us to fines, penalties and other liabilities, as well as damage to our reputation.
Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a complex system of import- and export-related laws and regulations, including U.S. regulations issued by Customs and Border Protection, the Bureau of Industry and Security, the Office of Antiboycott Compliance, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and Office of Foreign Assets Control, as well as the counterparts of these agencies in other countries. Any alleged or actual violations may subject us to government scrutiny, investigation and civil and criminal penalties, and may limit our ability to import or export our products, or to provide services outside the United States. Furthermore, embargoes and sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments restricting or prohibiting sales to specific persons or countries or based on product classification may expose us to potential criminal or civil sanctions. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our operations might be subject or in certain locations the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.
In addition, continued government and public emphasis in countries where we operate on environmental issues, including climate change, conservation and natural resource management, have resulted in and could result in new or more stringent forms of regulatory oversight or other limitations on the agricultural industry, including increased environmental controls, land-use restrictions affecting us or our suppliers and other conditions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. For example, certain aspects of our business and the larger food production chain generate carbon emissions. The imposition of regulatory restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions, which may include limitations on greenhouse gas emissions, other restrictions on industrial operations, taxes or fees on greenhouse gas emissions, and other measures, could affect land-use decisions, the cost of agricultural production and the cost and means of processing and transporting our products, which could adversely affect our business, cash flows and results of operations.
We are exposed to credit and counterparty risk relating to our customers in the ordinary course of business. In particular, we advance capital and provide other financing arrangements to farmers in Brazil and, as a result, our business and financial results may be adversely affected if these farmers are unable to repay the capital advanced to them.
We have various credit terms with customers, and our customers have varying degrees of creditworthiness, which exposes us to the risk of non-payment or other default under our contracts and other arrangements with them. In the event that we experience significant defaults on their payment obligations to us, our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
In Brazil, where there have been limited third-party financing sources available to farmers, we provide financing to farmers from whom we purchase soybeans and other agricultural commodities through prepaid commodity purchase contracts and advances, which are generally intended to be short-term in nature and are typically secured by the farmer's crop and a mortgage on the farmer's land and other assets to provide a means of repayment in the potential event of crop failure or shortfall. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we had approximately $592 million and $568 million in outstanding prepaid commodity purchase contracts and advances to farmers. We are exposed to the risk that the underlying crop will be insufficient to satisfy a farmer's obligation under the financing arrangements as a result of weather and crop growing conditions,
17

Table of Contents

and other factors that influence the price, supply and demand for agricultural commodities. In addition, any collateral held by us as part of these financing transactions may not be sufficient to fully protect us from loss.
We are a capital intensive business and depend on cash provided by our operations as well as access to external financing to operate and grow our business.
We require significant amounts of capital to operate our business and fund capital expenditures. Our working capital needs are directly affected by the prices of agricultural commodities, with increases in commodity prices generally causing increases in our borrowing levels. We are also required to make substantial capital expenditures to maintain, upgrade and expand our extensive network of storage facilities, processing plants, refineries, mills, logistics assets and other facilities to keep pace with competitive developments, technological advances and safety and environmental standards. Furthermore, the expansion of our business and pursuit of acquisitions or other business opportunities may require us to have access to significant amounts of capital. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows or raise sufficient external financing on attractive terms to fund these activities, including as a result of a tightening in the global credit markets, we may be forced to limit our operations and growth plans, which may adversely impact our competitiveness and, therefore, our results of operations.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $4,072 million of aggregate unused committed borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program and various revolving bilateral and syndicated credit facilities and $7,288 million in total debt. Our debt levels could limit our ability to obtain additional financing, limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the markets in which we compete, place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged than we are, and require us to dedicate more cash on a relative basis to servicing our debt and less to developing our business. This may limit our ability to run our business and use our resources in the manner in which we would like. Furthermore, difficult conditions in global credit or financial markets generally could adversely impact our ability to refinance maturing debt or the cost or other terms of such refinancing, as well as adversely affect the financial position of the lenders with whom we do business, which may reduce our ability to obtain financing for our operations. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources." Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased volatility and pricing in the capital markets, and we may not have access to preferred sources of liquidity when needed or on terms we find acceptable, and our borrowing costs could increase.
Access to credit markets and pricing of company debt is also dependent on maintaining appropriate credit ratings, and one of our financial objectives has been to maintain an investment grade credit rating. While our debt agreements do not have any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of our debt, reductions in our credit ratings would increase our borrowing costs and, depending on their severity, could impede our ability to obtain credit facilities or access the capital markets in the future on favorable terms, as well as impair our ability to compete effectively relative to competitors with higher credit ratings.
In addition, some of our credit facilities, interest rate derivatives and commercial agreements use LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) as the benchmark rate. LIBOR has recently been the subject of international reform proposals and it is expected that LIBOR will be discontinued or modified by the end of 2021. In the United States, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has proposed the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as an alternative to LIBOR for use in contracts that are currently indexed to U.S. dollar LIBOR and has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect that these developments, any discontinuance, modification or other reforms to LIBOR, or the establishment of alternative reference rates, such as SOFR, may have on LIBOR, other benchmark rates or floating rate debt instruments, or whether SOFR or any other alternative reference rates that have been proposed will attain market acceptance as replacements of LIBOR. While certain of our credit facilities contain LIBOR alternative provisions, the use of alternative reference rates or other reforms could cause the interest rate on our borrowings to be materially different than expected. These developments may cause us to renegotiate some of these agreements. We will continue to monitor market developments related to LIBOR's modification or discontinuance.
Our risk management strategies may not be effective.
Our business is affected by fluctuations in agricultural commodity prices, transportation costs, energy prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. We engage in hedging transactions to manage these risks. However, our exposures may not always be fully hedged, and our hedging strategies may not be successful in minimizing our exposure to these fluctuations. In addition, our risk management strategies may seek to position our overall portfolio relative to expected market movements. While we have implemented a broad range of risk monitoring and control procedures and policies to mitigate potential losses, they may not in all cases be successful in anticipating a significant risk exposure and protecting us from losses that have the potential to impair our financial position. See "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk"

The loss of, or a disruption in, our manufacturing and distribution operations or other operations and systems could adversely affect our business.
We are engaged in manufacturing and distribution activities on a global scale, and our business depends on our ability to execute and monitor, on a daily basis, a significant number of transactions across numerous markets or geographies. As a result, we are subject to the risks inherent in such activities, including industrial accidents, environmental events, fires, explosions, strikes and other labor or industrial disputes, and disruptions in logistics or information systems, as well as natural disasters, pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), acts of terrorism and other external factors over which we have no control. While we insure ourselves against many of these types of risks in accordance with industry standards, our level of insurance may not cover all losses. The potential effects of these conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our information technology systems, processes and sites may suffer interruptions, security breaches or failures that may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.
We rely on certain key information technology systems, some of which are dependent on services provided by third parties, to provide critical data and services for internal and external users, including procurement and inventory management, transaction processing, financial, commercial and operational data, human resources management, legal and tax compliance, and other information and processes necessary to operate and manage our business. Increased social engineering threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of our information technology systems, networks and services. Our information technology and infrastructure may experience attacks by hackers, breaches or other failures or disruptions that could compromise our systems and the information stored there. Such risks increase while some of our workforce continues to work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, new technology that could result in greater operational efficiency may further expose our computer systems to the risk of cyber-attacks. While we have implemented security measures and disaster recovery plans designed to protect the security and continuity of our networks and critical systems, these measures may not adequately prevent adverse events such as breaches or failures from occurring, or mitigate their severity if they do occur. If our information technology systems are breached, damaged or fail to function properly due to any number of causes, such as security breaches or cyber-based attacks, systems implementation difficulties, catastrophic events or power outages, and our security, contingency disaster recovery, or other risk mitigation plans do not effectively mitigate these occurrences on a timely basis, we may experience a material disruption in our ability to manage our business operations and produce financial reports, as well as significant costs and lost business opportunities until they are remediated. We may also be subject to legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, potential regulatory penalties and damage to our reputation. These impacts may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our competitive position.
Changes in tax laws or exposure to additional tax liabilities could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income taxes in various jurisdictions throughout the world. Tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken and assess additional taxes, along with interest and penalties. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits and assessments in order to assess the appropriateness of our tax assets and liabilities. However, the calculation of such liabilities involves significant judgment in the interpretation of complex tax regulations in many jurisdictions. Therefore, any dispute with a taxing authority may result in a payment or outcome that is significantly different from current estimates. There can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits and the actual outcomes of these audits could have a material impact on our consolidated earnings and financial condition in the periods in which they are recognized.
Additionally, changes in tax laws could materially impact our effective tax rate and the monetization of recoverable tax assets (indirect tax credits). Furthermore, the ongoing efforts in corporate tax transparency by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") and a number of countries has resulted in additional mandatory disclosures, which will likely cause additional scrutiny of the Company's tax positions and potentially increased tax assessments.
Risks Relating to Our Common Shares
We are a Bermuda company, and it may be difficult to enforce judgments against us and our directors and executive officers.
We are a Bermuda exempted company. As a result, the rights of holders of our common shares will be governed by Bermuda law and our memorandum of association and bye-laws. The rights of shareholders under Bermuda law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies or corporations incorporated in other jurisdictions, including the United States. Several of our directors and some of our officers are non-residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets
19

Table of Contents

and the assets of those directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process on those persons in the United States or to enforce in the U.S. judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us or those persons based on civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. It is doubtful whether courts in Bermuda will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Bermuda against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of other jurisdictions.
Our bye-laws restrict shareholders from bringing legal action against our officers and directors.
Our bye-laws contain a broad waiver by our shareholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of our officers or directors. The waiver applies to any action taken by an officer or director, or the failure of an officer or director to take any action, in the performance of his or her duties, except with respect to any matter involving any fraud or dishonesty on the part of the officer or director. This waiver limits the right of shareholders to assert claims against our officers and directors unless the act, or failure to act, involves fraud or dishonesty.
We have anti-takeover provisions in our bye-laws that may discourage a change of control.
Our bye-laws contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our Board of Directors. These provisions provide for:
directors to be removed without cause at any special general meeting only upon the affirmative vote of at least 66% of all votes attaching to all shares then in issue entitling the holder to attend and vote on the resolution;
restrictions on the time period in which directors may be nominated;
our Board of Directors to determine the powers, preferences and rights of our preference shares and to issue the preference shares without shareholder approval; and
an affirmative vote of at least 66% of all votes attaching to all shares then in issue entitling the holder to attend and vote on the resolution for some business combination transactions, which have not been approved by our Board of Directors.
These provisions, as well as any additional anti-takeover measures our Board of Directors could adopt in the future, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party's offer may be considered beneficial by many shareholders. As a result, shareholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.

Agribusiness
In our Agribusiness segment, we have 143 commodity storage facilities globally, which are located close to agricultural production areas or export locations. We also have 51 oilseed processing plants globally. We have 35 merchandising, distribution, and administrative offices throughout the world.
Edible Oils and Milling
In our Edible Oils and Milling businesses, we have 110 refining, packaging and milling facilities throughout the world. We also have 110 storage facilities globally that are located close to food and ingredient locations. In addition, to facilitate distribution in Brazil, we operate nine distribution centers.
Sugar & Bioenergy
In December 2019, we transferred our eight sugarcane mills, all of which are located in Brazil, to BP Bunge Bioenergia, a sugar and ethanol joint venture with BP. The joint venture operates on a stand-alone basis and we no longer consolidate those operations in our consolidated financial statements. We account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.
Fertilizer
In our Fertilizer segment, we operate three fertilizer processing and blending plants in Argentina and fertilizer ports in Brazil and Argentina.
Other
Our corporate headquarters co-located with our North American operations in St. Louis, Missouri, occupies approximately 150,000 square feet of space under a lease that expires in December 2022. We also own or lease other office space for our operations worldwide.
We believe that our facilities are adequate to address our operational requirements.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings and risks globally in the course of our business, including claims, suits, and government investigations or proceedings involving competition, tax, labor and employment, environmental, commercial disputes, and other matters. Although we cannot accurately predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, we make provisions for potential liabilities when we deem them probable and reasonably estimable. These provisions are based on current information and legal advice and are adjusted from time to time according to developments. We do not expect the outcome of these proceedings, net of established reserves, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, due to their inherent uncertainty, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of current or future litigation, proceedings, investigations or claims and it is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could result in judgments, awards, fines and penalties that could adversely affect our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in a particular period.
For a discussion of certain legal and tax matters relating to Argentina and Brazil, see Note 14- Income Taxes and Note 21- Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 5.    Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
(a)Market Information
Our common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "BG".
(b)Approximate Number of Holders of Common Stock
To our knowledge, based on information provided by Computershare Investor Services LLC, our transfer agent, as of December 31, 2020, we had 139,790,238 common shares issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 70 registered holders.
(c)Dividends
We have historically paid and expect to continue to pay cash dividends to holders of our common shares on a quarterly basis. In addition, holders of our 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares are entitled to annual dividends per share in the amount of $4.875 per year payable quarterly, when and if declared by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of those shares. Any future determination to pay dividends will, subject to the provisions of Bermuda law, be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon then existing conditions, including our financial condition, results of operations, contractual and other relevant legal or regulatory restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Under Bermuda law, a company's board of directors may not declare or pay dividends from time to time if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or that the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than its liabilities. Under our bye-laws, each common share is entitled to dividends if and when dividends are declared by our Board of Directors, subject to any preferred dividend right of the holders of any preference shares. There are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in or out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of our common shares.
We paid quarterly dividends on our common shares of $0.50 per share in each of the four quarters of 2020 and 2019. On December 10, 2020, we declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share payable on March 2, 2021 to shareholders of record on February 16, 2021.

(1)Included in inventories were readily marketable inventories of $5,961 million, $3,934 million, $4,532 million, $4,056 million and $3,855 million at December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Readily marketable inventories are agricultural commodity inventories, including soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, corn and wheat that are readily convertible to cash because of their commodity characteristics, widely available markets and international pricing mechanisms.
(2)Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.
(3)Bunge has 6,899,683 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares outstanding. Each cumulative convertible preference share has an initial liquidation preference of $100 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends up to a maximum of an additional $25 per share. As a result of adjustments made to the initial conversion price because cash dividends paid on Bunge Limited's common shares exceeded certain specified thresholds, each cumulative convertible preference share is convertible, at the holder's option, at any time, into approximately 1.2585 Bunge Limited common shares (8,683,251 Bunge Limited common shares), subject to certain additional anti-dilution adjustments.
(4)In December 2019, we contributed our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, which formed the majority of our Sugar and Bioenergy segment, into BP Bunge Bioenergia, a joint venture with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP p.l.c. As a result of this transaction, we no longer consolidate our sugar and bioenergy operations in Brazil in our consolidated financial statements and instead account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
        The following should be read in conjunction with "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements" and our combined consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Operating Results
Factors Affecting Operating Results
    Bunge Limited, a Bermuda company, together with its subsidiaries, is a leading global agribusiness and food company with integrated operations that stretch from farmer to consumer. The commodity nature of the Company's principal products, as well as regional and global supply and demand variations that occur as an inherent part of the business, make volumes an important operating measure. Accordingly, information is included in "Segment Results" that summarizes certain items in our consolidated statements of income and volumes by reportable segment. The common unit of measure for all reported volumes is metric tons. A description of reported volumes for each reportable segment has also been included in the discussion of key factors affecting results of operations in each of our business segments as discussed below.
Agribusiness
    In the Agribusiness segment, we purchase, store, transport, process and sell agricultural commodities and commodity products. Profitability in this segment is affected by the availability and market prices of agricultural commodities and processed commodity products and the availability and costs of energy, transportation and logistics services. Profitability in our oilseed processing operations is also impacted by volumes procured, processed and sold and by capacity utilization rates. Availability of agricultural commodities is affected by many factors, including weather, farmer planting and selling decisions, plant diseases, governmental policies, and agricultural sector economic conditions. Reported volumes in this segment primarily reflect (i) grains and oilseeds originated from farmers, cooperatives or other aggregators and from which "origination margins" are earned; (ii) oilseeds processed in our oilseed processing facilities and from which "crushing margins" are earned, representing the margin from the industrial separation of the oilseed into its protein meal and vegetable oil components, both of which are separate commodity products; and (iii) third party sales of grains, oilseeds and related commodity products merchandised through our distribution businesses and from which "distribution margins" are earned. The foregoing subsegment volumes may overlap as they produce separate margin capture opportunities. For example, oilseeds procured in our
South American grain origination activities may be processed in our oilseed processing facilities in Asia-Pacific and will be reflected at both points within the segment. As such, these reported volumes do not represent solely volumes of net sales to third-parties, but rather where margin is earned, appropriately reflecting their contribution to our global network's capacity utilization and profitability.

    Demand for our purchased and processed Agribusiness products is affected by many factors, including global and regional economic conditions, changes in per capita income, the financial condition of customers and customer access to credit, worldwide consumption of food products, particularly pork and poultry, population growth rates, relative prices of substitute agricultural products, outbreaks of disease associated with livestock and poultry, and demand for renewable fuels produced from agricultural commodities and commodity products.

    We expect that the factors described above will continue to affect global supply and demand for our Agribusiness products for the foreseeable future. We also expect that, from time to time, imbalances will likely exist between oilseed processing capacity and demand for oilseed products in certain regions, which impacts our decisions regarding whether, when and where to purchase, store, transport, process or sell these commodities, including whether to change the location of or adjust our own oilseed processing capacity.

    Additionally, price fluctuations and availability of commodities may cause fluctuations in our working capital, such as inventories, accounts receivable and borrowings over the course of a given year. For example, increased availability of commodities at harvest times often causes fluctuations in our inventories and borrowings. Increases in agricultural commodity prices will also generally cause our cash flow requirements to increase as our operations require increased use of cash to acquire inventories and fund daily settlement requirements on exchange traded futures that we use to hedge our physical inventories.
Edible Oils and Milling
    In Edible Oil Products and Milling Products segments, our operating results are affected by changes in the prices of raw materials, such as crude vegetable oils and grains, the mix of products that we sell, changes in consumer eating habits, changes in per capita income, consumer purchasing power levels, availability of credit to customers, governmental dietary guidelines and policies, changes in regional economic conditions and the general competitive environment in our markets. Raw material inputs to our production processes in the Edible Oil Products and Milling Products segments are largely sourced at
27

Table of Contents

market prices from our Agribusiness segment. Reported volumes in these segments reflect third-party sales of our finished products and, as such, include the sales of products derived from raw materials sourced from the Agribusiness segment as well as from third-parties. The unit of measure for these volumes is metric tons as these businesses are linked to the commodity raw materials, which are their primary inputs.
Fertilizer
    In the Fertilizer segment, demand for our products is affected by the profitability of the agricultural sectors we serve, the availability of credit to farmers, agricultural commodity prices, the types of crops planted, the number of acres planted, the quality of the land under cultivation and weather-related issues affecting the success of the harvests. Our profitability is impacted by international selling prices for fertilizers and fertilizer raw materials, such as phosphate, sulfur, ammonia and urea, ocean freight rates and other import costs, as well as import volumes at the port facilities we manage. As our operations are in South America, primarily Argentina, our results in this segment are typically seasonal, with fertilizer sales normally concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of the year due to the timing of the South American agricultural cycle. Reported volumes in this segment reflect third-party sales of our finished products.
Sugar and Bioenergy
    Our Sugar and Bioenergy segment primarily comprises our 50% interest in BP Bunge Bioenergia, the joint venture formed in December 2019 by the combination of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP. Our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations formed the majority of our Sugar and Bioenergy segment through which we produced and sold sugar and ethanol derived from sugarcane, as well as energy derived from the sugar and ethanol production process. BP Bunge Bioenergia operates on a stand-alone basis with a total of 11 mills located across the Southeast, North and Midwest regions of Brazil. BP Bunge Bioenergia is now the second largest operator by effective crushing capacity in the Brazilian sugarcane ethanol biofuel industry. As a result of this transaction, we no longer consolidate our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations in our consolidated financial statements and instead account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our reported Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2020 include our share of the net earnings in BP Bunge Bioenergia, whereas our Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2019 reflect our former 100% ownership interest in the Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations contributed to the Joint Venture. Although we are committed to supporting the growth and development of BP Bunge Bioenergia, our long-term goal is to seek strategic opportunities for our investment in the joint venture.
Profitability in this segment is affected by the profitability of the joint venture and, therefore the value of our investment and the amount and timing of distributions we receive, if any. In turn, the profitability of the joint venture is affected by the availability and quality of sugarcane, which impacts capacity utilization rates and the amount of sugar that can be extracted from the sugarcane, and by market prices of sugar and ethanol. The availability and quality of sugarcane is affected by many factors, including weather, geographical factors such as soil quality and topography, and agricultural practices. Once planted, sugarcane may be harvested for several continuous years, but the yield decreases with each subsequent harvest. As a result, the current optimum economic cycle is generally five to seven consecutive harvests, depending on location. The joint venture owns and/or has partnership agreements to manage farmland on which it grows and harvests sugarcane and also purchases sugarcane from third parties. Prices of sugarcane in Brazil are established by Consecana, the state of São Paulo sugarcane, sugar and ethanol council, and are based on the sucrose content of the cane and the market prices of sugar and ethanol. Demand for the joint venture's products is affected by such factors as changes in global or regional economic conditions, the financial condition of customers and customer access to credit, worldwide consumption of food products, population growth rates, changes in per capita income and demand for and governmental support of renewable fuels produced from agricultural commodities, including sugarcane.
    In addition to these industry related factors which impact our business areas, our results of operations in all business areas and segments are affected by the following factors:
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
    Due to the global nature of our operations, our operating results can be materially impacted by foreign currency exchange rates. Both translation of our foreign subsidiaries' financial statements and foreign currency transactions can affect our results. On a monthly basis, for subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than the U.S. dollar, subsidiary statements of income and cash flows must be translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation purposes based on weighted-average exchange rates in each monthly period. As a result, fluctuations of local currencies compared to the U.S. dollar during each monthly period impact our consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each reported period (per quarter and year-to-date) and also affect comparisons between those reported periods. Subsidiary balance sheets are translated using exchange rates as of the balance sheet date with the resulting translation adjustments reported in our consolidated balance sheets as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
28

Table of Contents

    Additionally, we record transaction gains or losses on monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency of the entity. These amounts are remeasured into their respective functional currencies at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains or losses included in the entity's statement of income and, therefore, in our consolidated statements of income as Foreign exchange gains (losses).
    We primarily use a combination of equity and intercompany loans to finance our subsidiaries. Intercompany loans that are of a long-term investment nature with no intention of repayment in the foreseeable future are considered permanently invested and as such are treated as analogous to equity for accounting purposes. As a result, any foreign currency translation gains or losses on such permanently invested intercompany loans are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets. In contrast, foreign currency translation gains or losses on intercompany loans that are not of a permanent nature are recorded in our consolidated statements of income as Foreign exchange gains (losses).
Income Taxes
    As a Bermuda exempted company, we are not subject to income taxes on income in our jurisdiction of incorporation.  However, our subsidiaries, which operate in multiple tax jurisdictions, are subject to income taxes at various statutory rates ranging from 0% to 34%. The jurisdictions that significantly impact our effective tax rate are Brazil, the United States, Argentina and Bermuda. Determination of taxable income requires the interpretation of related and often complex tax laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which we operate, and the use of estimates and assumptions regarding future events.
Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
    Total segment earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") is an operating performance measure used by our management to evaluate segment operating activities. Our management believes total segment EBIT is a useful measure of operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in our industries. Total Segment EBIT is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, adjusted is calculated by including the Proceeds from beneficial interested in securitized trade receivables with Cash provided by (used for) operating activities. Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Our management believes presentation of this measure allows investors to view our cash generating performance using the same measure that management uses in evaluating financial and business performance and trends.

2020 Overview
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Bunge - For the year ended December 31, 2020, net income attributable to Bunge was $1,145 million, an increase of $2,425 million compared to a net loss attributable to Bunge of $1,280 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is due to higher Segment EBIT in our Core and Non-core segments, as further discussed in the Segment Overview and Results of Operations section below.
Earnings Per Common Share - Diluted - For the year ended December 31, 2020, net income attributable to Bunge common shareholders, diluted, was $7.71 per share, an increase of $17.05 per share, compared to a loss of $9.34 per share for the year ended December 31, 2019.
EBIT - For the year ended December 31, 2020, Total Segment EBIT was $1,633 million, an increase of $2,524 million compared to EBIT of $(891) million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Total Segment EBIT for the year ended December 31, 2020 was due to higher Segment EBIT in our Core and Non-core segments, as further discussed in the Segment Overview and Results of Operations section below, which provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Bunge to Total Segment EBIT.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit - Income tax expense was $248 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to income tax expense of $86 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to higher pretax income, resulting from higher EBIT in our Core and Non-core segments, as noted above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – At December 31, 2020, working capital, which equals total current assets less total current liabilities, was $5,196 million, an increase of $1,543 million, compared to working capital of $3,653 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in working capital is primarily due to increased readily marketable inventories ("RMI") purchases associated with strong farmer selling activity in Brazil during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as well as higher commodity prices at December 31, 2020.
Segment Overview and Results of Operations
Our operations are organized, managed and classified into five reportable segments based upon their similar economic characteristics, nature of products and services offered, production processes, types and classes of customer, and distribution methods.
We further organize these reportable segments into Core operations and Non-core operations. Core operations comprise our Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, and Fertilizer segments.
Non-core operations comprise our Sugar and Bioenergy segment, which itself primarily comprises our 50% interest in BP Bunge Bioenergia, a joint venture formed with BP in December 2019 by the combination of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP. Therefore, our reported Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2020 include our share of the net earnings in BP Bunge Bioenergia, whereas our Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2019 reflect our former 100% ownership interest in the Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations contributed to the joint venture.
Our remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Corporate and Other. Effective January 1, 2020, we changed our segment reporting to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from our reporting segments, as further described in Note 28- Segment Information. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts within the reporting segments have been made to conform to current presentation.

2020 Compared to 2019
Agribusiness segment Net sales increased by $1,122 million, or 4%, to $29,529 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $28,407 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The net increase was due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Net sales increased $1,586 million primarily due to higher soybean sales volumes and prices in our Chinese, Brazilian, European, and North American oilseed processing businesses, primarily driven by increased meal demand in China and increased oil demand in North America, higher sales volumes and prices in our European and Canadian oilseed processing businesses, and higher sales prices in our global oilseed trading and distribution businesses, partially offset by lower overall trading and distribution volumes.
In Grains, Net sales decreased $464 million due to lower sales volumes and prices in our grain trading and distribution businesses, lower sales volumes and prices in our European grain origination business, and lower sales prices in our Brazilian origination business. These decreases were partially offset by higher volumes in our Brazilian grain origination business driven by increased farmer selling in response to depreciation of Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar earlier in the year, and higher volumes in our North American grain origination business driven by increased demand from China following an easing of trade restrictions in place for much of the prior year.
Cost of goods sold increased by $435 million, or approximately 2%, to $27,749 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $27,314 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The net increase was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Cost of goods sold increased by $1,242 million due to higher Net sales in our oilseed processing and trading and distribution businesses, as described above, as well as unfavorable mark-to-market results in our oilseed processing businesses, partially offset by favorable translation impacts on industrial costs, as most currencies in which such expenses are denominated depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the year, and non-recurring prior year property, plant and equipment (PP&E) impairment charges at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives.
In Grains, Cost of goods sold decreased by $807 million due to the decrease in Net sales noted above, risk management and optimization in our trading and distribution businesses, favorable translation impacts on industrial costs as most currencies in which such expenses are denominated depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the year, and non-recurring prior year PP&E impairment charges at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives.
Gross profit increased by $687 million, or 63%, to $1,780 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,093 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the following:
31

Table of Contents

In Oilseeds, an increase of $344 million was due to higher Net sales in excess of Cost of goods sold, as described above.
In Grains, an increase of $343 million was due to lower Cost of goods sold, which more than offset lower Net sales, primarily in our North American operations as described above.
SG&A expenses increased $30 million, or 6%, to $517 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $487 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to higher variable incentive costs on the back of improved overall company profitability, partially offset by savings associated with ongoing cost initiatives, lower expenses due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, favorable translation impacts, as most currencies in which SG&A expenses are denominated depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the year, and an $11 million prior year write-off of an indemnification asset associated with the reversal of an uncertain tax position.
Foreign exchange results increased $182 million, to a gain of $148 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a loss of $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Foreign exchange results were primarily driven by gains on U.S. dollar denominated loans receivable in non-U.S. functional currency operations.
Other income (expenses) - net decreased $22 million, to income of $43 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to income of $65 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower results from our financial services activities during the current year.
Segment EBIT increased $800 million, or 117%, to $1,482 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $682 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, an increase of $440 million was primarily due to higher Gross profit and increased foreign exchange results, as described above.
In Grains, an increase of $360 million was primarily due to higher Gross profit and increased foreign exchange results as described above.
2019 Compared to 2018
Agribusiness segment Net sales decreased by $3,799 million, or 12%, to $28,407 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $32,206 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net decrease was due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Net sales decreased $1,979 million due to lower average sales prices following increased global soybean meal availability due to increased Argentinian supply compared to the 2018 drought and limited harvest, coupled with lower Chinese demand as a result of the African Swine Fever outbreak.
In Grains, Net sales decreased $1,820 million due to lower sales volumes in our grain origination, trading and distribution businesses, associated with lower supply in North America due to adverse weather conditions and the ongoing US-China trade dispute, and lower farmer selling in Brazil through much of 2019.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $3,445 million, or 11%, to $27,314 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $30,759 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net decrease was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Cost of goods sold decreased by $1,669 million due to lower purchase prices and improved trading results in our oilseed businesses, partially offset by unfavorable mark-to-market results in our oilseed processing business, and approximately $87 million of impairment charges related to PP&E at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives.
In Grains, Cost of goods sold decreased by $1,776 million due to lower sales volumes and purchase prices in our grain origination, trading and distribution businesses, partially offset by stronger results in our ocean freight business.
Gross profit decreased by $354 million, or 24%, to $1,093 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1,447 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net decrease was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, a decrease of $310 million was due to lower Net sales in excess of lower Cost of goods sold, as described above.
In Grains, a decrease of $44 million was due to lower Net sales in excess of lower Cost of goods sold, as described above.

Table of Contents

SG&A expenses decreased $44 million, or 8%, to $487 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $531 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to savings from actions associated with the Global Competitiveness Program ("GCP"), as well as lower charges recognized in connection with the execution of the GCP itself, in addition to depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar. These decreases were partially offset by impairment charges at facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives and the write-off of a tax indemnification asset associated with the reversal of an uncertain tax position recorded in a previous year.
Foreign exchange gains (losses), on a net basis, increased $88 million, or 72%, to a loss of $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a loss of $122 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Foreign exchange results are primarily driven by funding non-U.S. functional currency operations. Results in 2018 were primarily driven by the devaluation of the Argentine peso on U.S. dollar loans to fund operations in Argentina.
Other income (expenses) - net increased $24 million, to income of $65 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to income of $41 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher income earned from financial services activities and improved results from our soy crush investments in South America.
Segment EBIT decreased $166 million, or 20%, to $682 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $848 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net decrease was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, a decrease of $252 million was primarily due to lower profits in our oilseed processing business, including an unfavorable mark-to-market impact on forward contracts compared to the prior year.
In Grains, an increase of $86 million was primarily due higher results in our ocean freight business, better results in our financial services businesses, lower SG&A expenses, and higher net foreign exchange results, partially offset by lower profits in our grain origination, trading and distribution businesses.

2020 Compared to 2019
Edible oil products segment Net sales increased by $415 million, or 5%, to $9,601 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $9,186 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, due to higher sales volumes and prices in our business-to-consumer ("B2C") operations, driven by increased at-home consumption associated with COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, and higher prices in our business-to-business ("B2B") operations, partially offset by lower overall B2B volumes as lower food services volumes more than offset higher food processor volumes, again due to COVID-19. The year ended December 31, 2020 also benefited from $47 million of indirect tax credits related to the favorable resolution of a Brazilian indirect tax claim.
Cost of goods sold increased by $289 million, or 3%, to $8,863 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $8,574 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Cost of goods sold was due to higher Net sales, partially offset by favorable translation impacts, unfavorable prior year mark-to-market results, and approximately $30 million of non-recurring prior year PP&E impairment charges at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives.
Gross profit increased by $126 million, or 21%, to $738 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $612 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher Net sales in excess of Cost of

goods sold, primarily related to our consumer business margin expansion resulting from COVID-19 related supply shortage, as described above.
SG&A expenses increased $12 million, or 3%, to $388 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $376 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher variable incentive costs on the back of improved overall company profitability, increased bad debt expense, partially offset by favorable translation impacts and lower travel costs associated with COVID-19 travel restrictions.
EBIT attributable to noncontrolling interests, an expense when subsidiaries with noncontrolling interests generate earnings before interest and tax, versus income when subsidiaries with noncontrolling interests generate loss before interest and tax, decreased by $10 million, to expense of $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to income of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to earnings before interest and tax associated with our non-wholly-owned Edible Oil Products subsidiaries, primarily Loders, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to losses before interest and tax in the same businesses for the year ended December 31, 2019, in both years primarily driven by factors mentioned above.
Other income (expenses) - net increased $216 million to income of $95 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to expense of $121 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, due to a gain on the sale of our Brazilian margarine and mayonnaise assets, which closed in the fourth quarter of 2020, and a non-recurring prior year goodwill impairment charge of $108 million associated with Loders.
Segment EBIT increased by $319 million, or 264%, to $440 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $121 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher Gross profit and Other income (expenses) - net, as described above.
2019 Compared to 2018
Edible oil products segment Net sales increased by $57 million, or 1%, to $9,186 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,129 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Increased sales volumes driven by our acquisition of Loders on March 1, 2018, were offset by lower prices in the U.S., Europe, and Brazil.
Cost of goods sold increased slightly by $3 million, or zero percent, to $8,574 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $8,571 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The small increase was due to impairment charges related to PP&E at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives and indirect tax charges, partially offset by lower raw material prices in the U.S., Europe, and Brazil.
Gross profit increased by $54 million, or 10%, to $612 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $558 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes in the U.S. and Europe, and higher sales volumes and a more favorable product mix in Argentina. These increases were partially offset by the impairment charges and indirect tax charges noted above.
SG&A expenses increased $28 million, or 8%, to $376 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $348 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was driven by a full year ownership of Loders, as well as impairment charges related to the relocation of a distribution center in Brazil, partially offset by lower costs in Europe and Brazil due to depreciation of the euro and Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, and from savings associated with the GCP.
Other income (expenses) - net increased $98 million, or 426%, to expense of $121 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to expense of $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in expense was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $108 million recorded in 2019 associated with our 2018 acquisition of Loders.
Segment EBIT decreased by $53 million, or 30%, to $121 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $174 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the goodwill and other impairment charges discussed above, partially offset by higher gross profit in the U.S., Europe, and Argentina also discussed above.

The decrease was primarily due to lower average sales prices in Brazil and Mexico, and lower sales prices in our U.S. corn milling business, which more than offset higher volumes.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $102 million, or 6%, to $1,477 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,579 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to lower Net sales, as described above, favorable translation impacts on industrial costs, following the depreciation of the Brazilian real and Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar, and approximately $28 million of non-recurring prior year impairment charges associated with our U.S. extrusion business and portfolio rationalization initiatives.
Gross profit increased by $11 million, or 7%, to $171 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $160 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was due to a decrease in Cost of goods sold in excess of the decrease in Net sales, as described above.
SG&A expenses decreased by $1 million, or 1%, to $97 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $98 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as favorable translation impacts and lower travel costs associated with COVID-19 restrictions were offset by higher variable compensation costs on the back of improved overall company profitability.
Other income (expense) - net decreased by $23 million, or 105%, to expense of $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to income of $22 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily due a $19 million gain on the sale of two facilities in Brazil during the prior year.
Segment EBIT decreased by $10 million, or 11%, to $78 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $88 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower Other income (expense) - net, partially offset by higher Gross profit, as described above.
2019 Compared to 2018
Milling products segment Net sales increased by $48 million, or 3%, to $1,739 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1,691 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales prices for wheat products in Brazil, the acquisition of two corn mills in the U.S. ("Minsa") during the first quarter of 2018, and higher sales prices in our U.S. rice milling business. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volumes in Mexico.
Cost of goods sold increased by $118 million, or 8%, to $1,579 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1,461 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher raw material costs in Brazil, higher raw material costs in our U.S. rice milling business, impairment charges associated with various portfolio rationalization initiatives, as well as additional costs associated with the acquisition of Minsa. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volumes in Mexico.

2020 Compared to 2019
Sugar and Bioenergy segment Net sales decreased by $1,146 million, or 89%, to $142 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,288 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in Net sales was primarily due to the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, comprising the majority of our Sugar and Bioenergy segment, to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture during the fourth quarter of 2019. Remaining sales comprise corn-based ethanol distribution activities in North America.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $2,553 million, or 95%, to $139 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $2,692 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a significant non-recurring impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019, in addition to the decrease in Net sales resulting from the contribution of the majority of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as described above.
Gross profit increased by $1,407 million, or 100%, to $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a loss of $1,404 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was due to a significant non-recurring impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019, in addition to the decrease in Net sales resulting from the contribution of the majority of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as described above.
SG&A expenses were zero for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The change was primarily due to the contribution of the majority of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as discussed above.
Income (loss) from affiliates decreased by $89 million to a loss of $92 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a loss of $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to our share of losses associated with our investment in the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture.
Segment EBIT increased $1,512 million, or 95%, to a loss of $87 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from a loss of $1,599 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to a significant non-recurring impairment taken in 2019 and lower SG&A in 2020, partially offset by a decrease in Income (loss) from affiliates, as described above.
2019 Compared to 2018
Sugar and Bioenergy segment Net sales decreased $969 million, or 43%, to $1,288 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $2,257 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the exiting of our international trading and merchandising business in 2018, as well as lower global sugar sales volumes and prices, partially offset by higher ethanol sales volumes and prices in Brazil. Additionally, in December 2019 we contributed our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to our then-newly-formed joint venture, BP Bunge Bioenergia, as discussed above.

Cost of goods sold increased $418 million, or 18%, to $2,692 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $2,274 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to non-recurring impairment charges of $1,524 million associated with the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture, as discussed above. This increase was partially offset by lower costs aligned with the decrease in Net sales noted above.
Gross profit decreased $1,387 million, or 8,159%, to a loss of $1,404 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a loss of $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily associated with lower sales and higher costs of goods sold, including the non-recurring impairment charges associated with the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture, as discussed above.
SG&A expenses decreased $36 million, or 49%, to $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $74 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily associated with the exiting of our international trading and merchandising business in 2018, lower bad debt expenses, savings and lower costs associated with the GCP, the impact of depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, as well as the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture, as discussed above.
Foreign exchange gains (losses), on a net basis, decreased $95 million, or 1,583%, to a loss of $89 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a gain of $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Foreign exchange losses in 2019 were primarily associated with intercompany loans related to our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations that were classified as held for sale in the third quarter of 2019. Previously, these loans were classified as permanently invested and any related foreign exchange impact was recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss). However, upon classification of our sugar and bioenergy operations as held for sale, such loans could no longer be determined to be permanently invested. As such, any foreign exchange impact was recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
Other income (expense) - net was a loss of $65 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a loss of $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in expense was primarily related to charges associated with the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to our newly formed joint-venture, BP Bunge Bioenergia, as discussed above.
Segment EBIT decreased by $1,496 million, or 1,452% to a loss of $1,599 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a loss of $103 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to $1,673 million in non-recurring charges incurred in 2019 associated with the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture, as discussed above.

Interest—A summary of consolidated interest income and expense follows:
  Year Ended
December 31,
(US$ in millions) 2020 2019 2018
Interest income $ 22  $ 31  $ 31 
Interest expense (265) (339) (339)
Interest income decreased $9 million to $22 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense decreased $74 million to $265 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $339 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The net decrease was the result of lower average interest rates on outstanding debt during the current year.
Interest income remained constant during 2019 and 2018 at $31 million. Interest expense also remained constant at $339 million in 2019 and 2018. Average debt balances were lower in 2019 than in 2018, however total interest expense remained flat due to interest rates applicable to our overall debt mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our main financial objectives are to prudently manage financial risks, ensure consistent access to liquidity and minimize cost of capital in order to efficiently finance our business and maintain balance sheet strength. We generally finance our ongoing operations with cash flows generated from operations, issuance of commercial paper, borrowings under various bilateral and syndicated revolving credit facilities, term loans and proceeds from the issuance of senior notes. Acquisitions and long-lived assets are generally financed with a combination of equity and long-term debt.

Working capital was $5,196 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $1,543 million, or 42%, from working capital of $3,653 million at December 31, 2019.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents were $352 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $32 million from $320 million at December 31, 2019. Cash balances are managed in accordance with our investment policy, the objectives of which are to preserve the principal value of our cash assets, maintain a high degree of liquidity and deliver competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions. Cash balances are invested in short-term deposits with highly rated financial institutions and in U.S. government securities.
Trade accounts receivable, net - Trade accounts receivable, net were $1,717 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $12 million from $1,705 million at December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily due to the timing of collections in our trading and distribution business, mostly offset by negative foreign exchange impacts in Brazil, and the recording of a bad debt reserve in relation to collection proceedings involving an historical outstanding account receivable due from a customer.

Inventories - Inventories were $7,172 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $2,134 million from $5,038 million at December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily related to an increase in RMI resulting from higher commodity prices in the current year, coupled with increased inventory quantities on hand following our deliberate decision to increase volumes during the year to optimize our earnings potential.
RMI comprises agricultural commodity inventories, including soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, corn, and wheat that are readily convertible to cash because of their commodity characteristics, widely available markets and international pricing mechanisms. Total RMI reported at fair value were $5,961 million and $3,934 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively (see Note 5- Inventories, to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Other current assets - Other current assets were $6,940 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $3,755 million from $3,185 million at December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily due to unrealized gains on derivative contracts, as well as the reclassification of certain of our U.S. grain assets and our oils refinery in Rotterdam, Netherlands as held for sale (see Note 2- Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives, to our consolidated financial statements).

40


Short-term debt - Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, was $2,836 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $1,558 million from $1,278 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was to fund higher seasonal working capital levels, primarily RMI.

Trade accounts payable - Trade accounts payable were $2,636 million at December 31, 2020, a decrease of $206 million from $2,842 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease is due to the timing of payments on account as well as the reclassification of liabilities associated with certain of our U.S. grain assets and our oils refinery in Rotterdam, Netherlands as held for sale.

Other current liabilities - Other current liabilities were $5,278 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $3,019 million from $2,259 million at December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily due to unrealized losses on derivative contracts and Liabilities held for sale (see Note 2- Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives, to our consolidated financial statements).

Debt
Financing Arrangements and Outstanding Indebtedness—We conduct most of our financing activities through a centralized financing structure that provides the company efficient access to debt and capital markets. This structure includes a master trust, of which the primary assets consist of intercompany loans made to Bunge Limited and its subsidiaries. Certain of Bunge Limited's 100% owned finance subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp., Bunge Finance Europe B.V. and Bunge Asset Funding Corp., fund the master trust with short and long-term debt obtained from third parties, including through our commercial paper program and certain credit facilities, as well as the issuance of senior notes. Borrowings by these finance subsidiaries carry full, unconditional guarantees by Bunge Limited.
Revolving Credit Facilities—At December 31, 2020, we had $5,565 million of aggregate committed borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program and various revolving bilateral and syndicated credit facilities, of which $4,072 million was unused and available. The following table summarizes these facilities as of the periods presented:
    Total Committed

On October 22, 2020, we entered into an unsecured $1,250 million 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $1,000 million tranche (“Tranche A”) and a $250 million tranche (“Tranche B”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each lender under Tranche A is required to fund all borrowing requests delivered by us unless such lender has delivered a declining lender notice to the administrative agent by 9.00am (New York City time) on the date such borrowing request is delivered. The lenders under Tranche B do not have the right to deliver a declining lender notice to us. We may also, from time to time, request one or more of the existing or new lenders to increase the total participations and commitments under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision. The Credit Agreement matures on October 21, 2021. We had $250 million outstanding at December 31, 2020, under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We had $554 million of borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020 under our $1,750 million unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility with certain lenders party thereto maturing December 12, 2022 (the ‘‘$1.75 Billion 2022 Facility’’). Borrowings under the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary from 0.30% to 1.30% per annum, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt. The applicable margin is also subject to certain premiums or discounts tied to criteria determined by certain sustainability targets. We also pay a fee that varies from 0.10% to 0.40% per annum, based on the utilization of the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility. Amounts under the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of 35% of the margin specified above, which varies based on the rating level at each quarterly payment date. We may, from time to time, with the consent of the facility agent, request one or more of the existing lenders or new lenders to increase the total commitments under the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility by up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision.
41


We had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020 under our unsecured $1,100 million five-year syndicated revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders party thereto maturing December 14, 2023. We have the option to request an extension of the maturity date of the Credit Agreement for two additional one-year periods, subject to the consent of the lenders. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary from 1.00% to 1.625%, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt ("Rating Level"). Amounts under the Credit Agreement that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee at rates ranging from 0.09% to 0.225%, varying based on the Rating Level. We may, from time to time, request one or more of the existing lenders or new lenders to increase the total commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $200 million pursuant to an accordion provision.
We had $140 million of borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020 under our unsecured $865 million revolving credit facility, maturing September 6, 2022 (the "2022 Facility"). Borrowings under the 2022 Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt. Amounts under the 2022 Facility that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee payable quarterly based on the average undrawn portion of the 2022 Facility at rates ranging from 0.125% to 0.275%, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt.
Our commercial paper program is supported by committed back-up bank credit lines (the ‘‘Liquidity Facility’’) equal to the amount of the commercial paper program provided by lending institutions that are required to be rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Services. The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of issuance under our commercial paper program. At December 31, 2020, $549 million of borrowings were outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings were outstanding under the Liquidity Facility. The Liquidity Facility is our only revolving credit facility that requires lenders to maintain minimum credit ratings.
In addition to committed credit facilities, from time to time, through our financing subsidiaries, we enter into bilateral short-term credit lines as necessary based on our financing requirements. At December 31, 2020 there were $550 million of borrowings outstanding under these bilateral short-term credit lines.
Short and long-term debt—Our short and long-term debt increased by $2,294 million at December 31, 2020 from December 31, 2019, primarily due to increased working capital requirements at the end of the year. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our average short and long-term debt outstanding was approximately $6,100 million compared to approximately $6,142 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our long-term debt outstanding balance, including the current-portion of such long-term debt, was $4,460 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $4,223 million at December 31, 2019. The following table summarizes our short-term debt activity at December 31, 2020.

On August 17, 2020, we completed the sale and issuance of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 1.630% unsecured senior notes (“Notes”) due August 17, 2025. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bunge. The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231083) filed by Bunge Limited and BLFC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year, commencing on February 17, 2021. At any time prior to July 17, 2025 (one month before maturity of the Notes), we may elect to redeem and repay the Notes, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $595 million after deducting underwriting commissions, the original issue discount and offering fees and expense payable by us. We used the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of certain short-term debt that included borrowings under the commercial paper program.

(3)    Includes secured debt of $5 million and $15 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
We have also entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts. Contingent liabilities on outstanding standby letter of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated to $1,226 million and $1,156 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Credit Ratings—Bunge's debt ratings and outlook by major credit rating agencies at December 31, 2020 were as follows:
 
Short-term
Debt(1)
  Long-term
Debt
  Outlook
Standard & Poor's A-1   BBB   Stable
Moody's P-1   Baa3   Stable
Fitch F1   BBB-   Stable
(1)Short-term rating applies only to Bunge Asset Funding Corp., the issuer under our commercial paper program.
Our debt agreements do not have any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of our debt. However, credit rating downgrades would increase our borrowing costs under our credit facilities and, depending on their severity, could impede our ability to obtain credit facilities or access the capital markets in the future on competitive terms. A significant increase in our borrowing costs could impair our ability to compete effectively in our business relative to competitors with higher credit ratings.
43


Our credit facilities and certain senior notes require us to comply with specified financial covenants, including minimum net worth, minimum current ratio, a maximum debt to capitalization ratio, and limitations on secured indebtedness. We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2020.
Trade Receivable Securitization Program—The Company, and certain of its subsidiaries participate in a trade receivable securitization program (the "Program") with a financial institution, as administrative agent, and certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the "Purchasers") that provides for funding of up to $800 million against receivables sold into the Program. The Program, which provides us with an additional source of liquidity, terminates on May 26, 2021.
Our risk of loss following the sale of the trade receivables under the program is limited to the deferred purchase price receivable (the "DPP"), which at December 31, 2020 and 2019 had a fair value of $177 million and $105 million, respectively, and is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets (see Note 4- Trade Accounts Receivable and Trade Receivable Securitization Program, to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K). The DPP will be repaid in cash as receivables are collected, generally within 30 days. Delinquencies and credit losses on trade receivables sold under the Program during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were insignificant.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements—We may use interest rate swaps as hedging instruments and record the swaps at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded contemporaneously in earnings. Additionally, the carrying amount of the associated debt is adjusted through earnings for changes in the fair value due to changes in benchmark interest rates.
Equity—Total equity is set forth in the following table:

Total Bunge shareholders' equity 6,069  5,913 
Noncontrolling interests 136  117 
Total equity $ 6,205  $ 6,030 
Total Bunge shareholders' equity was $6,069 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $5,913 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in Bunge shareholders' equity during the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to $1,145 million of Net income attributable to Bunge, offset by $622 million of Other comprehensive loss, primarily currency translation adjustment, $282 million and $34 million of declared dividends to common and preferred shareholders, respectively, and $100 million of common share repurchases.
Noncontrolling interest increased to $136 million at December 31, 2020 from $117 million at December 31, 2019 primarily due to Net income attributable to our noncontrolling interest entities, offset by dividends paid to non-controlling interest holders.
At December 31, 2020, we had 6,899,683 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $690 million. Each convertible perpetual preference share has an initial liquidation preference of $100, which will be adjusted for any accumulated and unpaid dividends. The convertible perpetual preference shares carry an annual dividend of $4.875 per share payable quarterly. As a result of adjustments made to the initial conversion price because cash dividends paid on Bunge Limited's common shares exceeded certain specified thresholds, each convertible perpetual preference share is convertible, at the holder's option, at any time into 1.2585 Bunge Limited common shares, based on the conversion price of $79.4592 per share, subject to certain additional anti-dilution adjustments (which represents 8,683,251 Bunge Limited common shares at December 31, 2020). At any time, if the closing price of our common shares equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price for 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading days (including the last trading day of such period), we may elect to cause the convertible perpetual preference shares to be automatically converted into Bunge Limited common shares at the then-prevailing conversion price. The convertible perpetual preference shares are not redeemable by us at any time.

Share repurchase program - In May 2015, we established a program for the repurchase of up to $500 million of our issued and outstanding common shares. The program has no expiration date. Bunge repurchased 2,546,000 common shares under this program during the year ended December 31, 2020, for $100 million. Total repurchases under the program from its inception in May 2015 through December 31, 2020 were 7,253,440 shares for $400 million.

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash 19  11 
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 59  $ (71) $ (212)
Our cash flows from operations vary depending on, among other items, the market prices and timing of the purchase and sale of our inventories. Generally, during periods when commodity prices are rising, our Agribusiness operations require increased use of cash to support working capital to acquire inventories and fund daily settlement requirements on exchange traded futures that we use to minimize price risk related to the purchase and sale of our inventories.
2020 Compared to 2019
For the year ended December 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $59 million, compared to a decrease of $71 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Operating: Cash used for operating activities was $3,536 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $2,728 million compared to cash used for operating activities of $808 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was due to higher working capital funding requirements, primarily RMI and proceeds from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables, both primarily driven by higher commodity prices, partially offset by higher net income during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Year ended December 31,
US$ in millions 2020 2019
Cash provided by (used for) operating activities $ (3,536) $ (808)
Proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables 1,943  1,312 
Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, adjusted $ (1,593) $ 504 
Cash used for operating activities, adjusted for proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables was $1,593 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $504 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The change in cash provided by (used for) operating activities is due to higher working capital funding requirements, primarily RMI, partially offset by higher net income during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Certain of our non-U.S. operating subsidiaries are primarily funded with U.S. dollar-denominated debt, while currency risk is hedged with U.S. dollar-denominated assets. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries is generally the local currency. The financial statements of our subsidiaries are calculated in the functional currency, and when the local currency is the functional currency, translated into U.S. dollar. U.S. dollar-denominated loans are remeasured into their respective functional currencies at exchange rates at the applicable balance sheet date. Also, certain of our U.S. dollar functional operating subsidiaries outside the U.S. are partially funded with local currency borrowings, while the currency risk is hedged with local currency denominated assets. Local currency loans in U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries outside the U.S. are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the applicable balance sheet date. The resulting gain or loss is included in our consolidated statements of income as foreign exchange gains or losses. For the year ended December 31, 2020 we recorded a foreign currency gain on net debt of $206 million versus a foreign currency loss on net debt for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $139 million, which were included as adjustments to reconcile Net income to Cash used for operating activities in the line item “Foreign exchange (gain) loss on net debt” in our consolidated statements of cash flows. This adjustment is required
45


as these losses are non-cash items that arise from financing activities and therefore will have no impact on cash flows from operations.
Investing: Cash provided by investing activities was $1,813 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1,503 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $310 million. The increase was primarily due to higher proceeds from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables, lower capital expenditures, and higher cash inflows from settlements of net investment hedges, offset by lower net proceeds from investments and the divestiture of businesses and property, plant and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables was $1,943 million. In addition, we received proceeds from investments of $305 million, primarily promissory notes related to financial services investments, which were more than offset by payments of $337 million for such investments. We also made payments for capital expenditures of $365 million related to capital projects at various facilities. For the year ended December 31, 2019, cash from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables was $1,312 million. In addition, we received proceeds from investments of $449 million, primarily from promissory notes related to financial services investments, partially offset by payments of $393 million made for such investments. We also made payments for capital expenditures of $524 million, which primarily related to the replanting of sugarcane in our Brazilian sugar and biofuels business that was contributed to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture in late 2019, as well as other capital projects at various facilities.
Financing: Cash provided by financing activities was $1,763 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $2,534 million, compared to cash used by financing activities of $771 million for the year ended December 31, 2019,
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had net cash proceeds from short-term and long-term debt of $2,202 million, primarily used to fund seasonal working capital requirements, mostly comprising RMI. We also paid dividends of $316 million to our common shareholders and holders of our convertible preference shares, and repurchased $100 million of common shares. For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash repayments from short-term and long-term debt were $438 million, primarily due to lower overall debt needs following the transfer of our industrial sugar business in Brazil to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture. In addition, we paid dividends of $317 million to our common shareholders and holders of our convertible preference shares.
2019 Compared to 2018
In 2019, our cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased by $71 million, compared to a decrease of $212 million in 2018.
Operating: Cash used for operating activities was $808 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to cash used for operating activities of $1,264 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net cash outflows from operating activities was lower for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to the lower use of cash associated with beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables, partially offset by higher working capital requirements, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.

Cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables was $504 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $624 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was due to lower net income and higher working capital requirements when compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we recorded foreign currency losses of $139 million and $139 million, respectively, which were included as adjustments to reconcile Net income to Cash used for operating activities in the line item “Foreign exchange (gain) loss on net debt” in our consolidated statements of cash flows. This adjustment is required as these gains or losses are non-cash items that arise from financing activities and therefore will have no impact on cash flows from operations.
Investing: Cash provided by investing activities was $1,503 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $410 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. During 2019, payments were made for capital expenditures of $524 million, primarily related to replanting of sugarcane for our industrial sugar business in Brazil,
46


which were subsequently transferred to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture in December 2019, as well as other capital projects at various facilities. In addition, payments were made for investments of $393 million, primarily related to deposits in South America and promissory notes related to financial services, which were more than offset by proceeds from such investments and the sale of equity securities associated with an investment subsequent to its initial public offering of $449 million. Cash provided by investing activities was primarily associated with proceeds of $1,312 million from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables and $729 million from the divestiture of businesses and disposals of property, plant, and equipment. During 2018, payments were made for capital expenditures of $493 million, primarily related to replanting of sugarcane for our industrial sugar business in Brazil, which were subsequently transferred to the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture in December 2019, and the upgrade of our crush facility in Italy, as well as other capital projects at various facilities. In addition, we acquired Loders for $908 million, net of cash acquired, and Minsa USA for $73 million, net of cash acquired. Further, payments were made for investments of $1,184 million, primarily related to deposits, treasuries and bonds in South America related to financial services, which were substantially offset by proceeds from such investments of $1,098 million. Cash provided by investing activities was primarily associated with proceeds of $1,888 million from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables, as well as cash inflows related to settlements of net investment hedges of $66 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily driven by the depreciation of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar in 2018.
Financing: Cash used for financing activities was $771 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $631 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash repayments from short-term and long-term debt were $438 million, primarily related to lower overall debt needs following the transfer of our industrial sugar business in Brazil to the BP Bioenergia joint venture. In addition, we paid dividends of $317 million to our common shareholders and holders of our convertible preference shares. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net cash proceeds from short-term and long-term debt were $956 million, primarily related to the funding of acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital needs. In 2018, dividends paid to our common shareholders and holders of our convertible preference shares were $305 million.
Brazilian Farmer Credit
Background—We advance collateralized funds to counterparties (farmers and crop resellers), primarily to secure the origination of soybeans for our soybean processing facilities in Brazil. These activities are generally intended to be short-term in nature. The ability of our counterparties to repay these amounts is affected by agricultural economic conditions in the relevant geography, which are, in turn, affected by commodity prices, currency exchange rates, crop input costs and crop quality and yields. As a result, these arrangements are typically secured, including by a farmer's crop and, in many cases, land and other assets. In the event of counterparty default, we generally initiate legal proceedings to recover the defaulted amounts. However, the legal recovery process through the judicial system is a long-term process, generally spanning a number of years. Additionally, we may seek to renegotiate certain terms of our contract with the defaulting supplier in order to accelerate the recovery of amounts owed.
Because Brazilian farmer credit exposures are denominated in local currency, reported values are impacted by movements in the value of the Brazilian real when translated into U.S. dollars. From December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020, the Brazilian real depreciated by approximately 23%, decreasing the reported farmer credit exposure balances when translated into U.S. dollars.
We periodically evaluate the collectability of our farmer receivables and record allowances if we determine that collection is doubtful. We base our determination of the allowance on analyses of the credit quality of individual accounts, also considering the economic and financial condition of the farming industry and other market conditions, as well as the value of any collateral related to amounts owed. We continuously review defaulted farmer receivables for impairment on an individual account basis. We consider all accounts in legal collections processes to be defaulted and past due. For such accounts, we determine the allowance for uncollectible amounts based on the fair value of the associated collateral, net of estimated costs to sell. For all renegotiated accounts (current and past due), we consider changes in farm economic conditions and other market conditions, our historical experience related to renegotiated accounts, and the fair value of collateral in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Secured Advances to Suppliers and Prepaid Commodity Contracts—We purchase soybeans through prepaid commodity purchase contracts (advance cash payments to suppliers against contractual obligations to deliver specified quantities of soybeans in the future) and secured advances to suppliers (advances to suppliers against commitments to deliver soybeans in the future), primarily in Brazil. These financing arrangements are typically secured by the farmer's future crop and mortgages on the farmer's land, buildings and equipment, and are generally settled after the farmer's crop is harvested and sold.
Interest earned on secured advances to suppliers of $31 million, $26 million and $30 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is included in Net sales in the consolidated statements of income.

Capital Expenditures
Our cash payments made for capital expenditures were $365 million, $524 million and $493 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We intend to make capital expenditures of approximately $450 million in 2021. Our priorities for 2021 are to maintain the cash generating capacity of our assets through non-discretionary projects, such as maintenance, safety and compliance, as well as discretionary investment in growth and productivity projects, focusing on our strategy to strengthen our oilseeds platform, increase participation in biofuels and plant-based proteins, as well as growing our value added oils business. We intend to fund these capital expenditures primarily with cash flows from operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees
We have issued or were party to the following guarantees at December 31, 2020:
(US$ in millions) Maximum Potential
Future Payments
Unconsolidated affiliates guarantee (1)
$ 267 
Residual value guarantee (2)
258 
Total $ 525 

(1)We have issued guarantees to certain financial institutions related to debt of certain of our unconsolidated affiliates. The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financings which have maturity dates through 2034. There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable us to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees. In addition, one of our subsidiaries has guaranteed the obligations of two of its affiliates and in connection therewith has secured its guarantee obligations through a pledge of one of its affiliate's shares plus loans receivable from the affiliate to the financial institutions in the event that the guaranteed obligations are enforced. Based on the amounts drawn under such debt facilities at December 31, 2020, our potential liability was $245 million and we have recorded a $12 million obligation related to these guarantees.
(2)We have issued guarantees to certain financial institutions which are party to certain operating lease arrangements for railcars and barges. These guarantees provide for a minimum residual value to be received by the lessor at conclusion of the lease term. These leases expire at various dates from 2021 through 2026. At December 31, 2020, no obligation has been recorded related to these guarantees. Any obligation recorded would be recognized in Current operating lease obligations or Non-current operating lease obligations (see Note 27- Leases, to our consolidated financial statements).

We have provided a guaranty to the Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture as Trustee for Bunge North America, Inc. ("BNA"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, which guarantees all amounts due and owing by BNA, to grain producers and/or depositors in the State of Illinois who have delivered commodities to BNA's Illinois facilities.
In addition, we have provided full and unconditional parent level guarantees of the outstanding indebtedness under certain credit facilities entered into, and senior notes issued by, our subsidiaries. At December 31, 2020, our consolidated balance sheet includes debt with a carrying amount of $6,760 million related to these guarantees. This debt includes the senior notes issued by two of our 100% owned finance subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. There are largely no restrictions on the ability of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. or any other Bunge subsidiary to transfer funds to Bunge Limited.

Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our scheduled contractual obligations and their expected maturities at December 31, 2020, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in the future periods indicated.

(1)Excludes components of long-term debt attributable to fair value hedge accounting of $92 million and deferred financing fees and unamortized premiums of $19 million.
(2)Represents future minimum payments under non-cancelable leases with initial terms of one year or more. Minimum lease payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease income receipts of $23 million due in future periods under non-cancelable subleases.
(3)Represents purchase commitments for time on ocean freight vessels and railroad freight lines for the purpose of transporting agricultural commodities. The ocean freight service agreements are short term contracts with a duration of less than a year. Ocean freight service agreements with terms in excess of one year are included in non-cancelable lease obligations. The railroad freight service agreements require a minimum monthly payment regardless of the actual level of freight services used. The costs of our freight supply agreements are typically passed through to our customers as a component of the prices we charge for our products. However, changes in the market value of such freight services compared to the rates at which we have contracted them may affect margins on the sales of agricultural commodities.
(4)Represents other purchase commitments and obligations, such as take-or-pay contracts, throughput contracts, and debt commitment fees.
(5)Does not include estimated payments of liabilities associated with uncertain income tax positions. As of December 31, 2020, Bunge had uncertain income tax liabilities of $52 million, including interest and penalties. At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years in connection with these tax liabilities; therefore, such amounts are not included in the above contractual obligations table. See Note 14- Income Taxes to our consolidated financial statements.

Employee Benefit Plans
We expect to contribute $21 million to our defined benefit pension plans and $4 million to our postretirement benefit plans in 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1- Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make substantial judgment or estimation in their application that may significantly affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Offsetting
In the normal course of its operations we routinely enter into transactions resulting in the recognition of assets and liabilities stemming from unconditional obligations, for example trade receivables and trade payables, or conditional obligations, for example unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts at fair value, with the same counterparty. We generally record all such assets and liabilities on a gross basis, even when they are subject to master netting agreements.
However, we also engage in various trade structured finance activities to leverage the value of our global trade flows. These activities include programs under which we generally obtain U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit (“LCs”), each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, from financial institutions and time deposits denominated in either the local currency of the financial institutions' counterparties or in U.S. dollars, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts, and other programs in which trade related payables are set-off against receivables when all related assets and liabilities are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements and the criteria of ASC 210-20, Offsetting, has been met. Cash inflows are offset by the related cash outflows resulting from placement of the time deposits and repayment of the LCs. All cash flows related to the programs are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the majority of our foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. As such, amounts included in the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in equity are translated using average exchange rates during each period. Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). However, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, if a foreign entity's economy is determined to be highly inflationary, then such foreign entity's financial statements are remeasured as if the functional currency were the reporting currency.
    We have significant operations in Argentina and, up until June 30, 2018, had utilized the official exchange rate of the Argentine peso published by the Argentine government when recording applicable transactions and remeasuring applicable assets and liabilities in its financial statements. Argentina has experienced negative economic trends, as evidenced by multiple periods of increasing inflation rates, devaluation of the peso, and increasing borrowing rates, requiring the Argentine government to take mitigating actions. During the second quarter of 2018, it was determined that Argentina's economy should be considered highly inflationary, and as such, beginning on July 1, 2018, our Argentine subsidiaries changed their functional currency to the U.S. Dollar. This change in functional currency did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured into their respective functional currencies at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gain or loss is included in our consolidated statements of income as Foreign exchange gain (loss) unless the remeasurement gain or loss relates to an intercompany transaction that is of a long-term investment nature and for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future. Gains or losses arising from remeasurement of such transactions are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets.
50


Inventories and Derivatives
Our RMI, forward RMI purchase and sale contracts, and exchange traded futures and options are primarily valued at fair value. RMI are freely-traded, have quoted market prices, may be sold without significant additional processing and have predictable and insignificant disposal costs. We estimate fair values of commodity inventories and forward purchase and sale contracts on these inventories based on commodity futures exchange quotations, broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter ("OTC") markets with appropriate adjustments for differences in local markets where our inventories are located. Certain inventories may utilize significant unobservable data related to local market adjustments to determine fair value. The significant unobservable inputs for RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts relate to certain management estimations regarding costs of transportation and other local market or location-related adjustments, primarily freight related adjustments in the interior of Brazil and the lack of market corroborated information in Canada. In both situations, we use proprietary information such as purchase and sale contracts and contracted prices to value freight, premiums, and discounts in our contracts. Changes in the fair values of these inventories and contracts are recognized in our consolidated statements of income as a component of Cost of goods sold. If we used different methods or factors to estimate fair values, amounts reported as Inventories and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts in the consolidated balance sheets and Cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income, respectively, could differ. Additionally, if market conditions change subsequent to year-end, amounts reported in future periods as Inventories, Unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts, and Cost of goods sold could differ.
Allowances for Uncollectible Accounts
Trade Accounts Receivable—Trade accounts receivable is stated at historical carrying amounts net of write-offs and allowances for uncollectible accounts. We establish allowances for uncollectible trade accounts receivable based on lifetime expected credit losses utilizing an aging schedule for each pool of trade accounts receivable. Pools are determined based on risk characteristics such as the type of customer and geography. A default rate is derived using a provision matrix with data based on Bunge's historical receivables information. The default rate is then applied to the pool to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. Given the short term nature of our trade accounts receivable, the default rate is only adjusted if significant changes in the credit profile of the portfolio are identified (e.g., poor crop years, credit issues at the country level, systematic risk), resulting in historic loss rates that are not representative of forecasted losses. Uncollectible accounts are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding historical balance or when we have determined that collection of the balance is unlikely.
Specifically, in establishing appropriate default rates as of December 31, 2020, we took into consideration expected impacts on our customers and other debtors in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, which did not result in a material impact on our financial statements.
We record and report accrued interest receivable within the same line item as the related receivable. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated on the amortized cost basis of the trade accounts receivable, including accrued interest receivable. We recognize credit loss expense when establishing an allowance for accrued interest receivable.
Secured Advances to Suppliers—Secured advances to suppliers is stated at historical carrying amounts net of write-offs and allowances for uncollectible accounts. Secured advances to suppliers are expected to be settled through delivery of non-cash assets and as such, allowances are established when collection is not probable. We establish an allowance for secured advances to suppliers, generally farmers and resellers of grain, based on historical experience, farming economics and other market conditions as well as specific customer collection issues. Uncollectible accounts are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount below the outstanding historical balance or when we have determined that collection is unlikely.
Secured advances to suppliers bear interest at contractual rates that reflect current market interest rates at the time of the transaction. There are no deferred fees or costs associated with these receivables. As a result, there are no imputed interest amounts to be amortized under the interest method. Interest income is calculated based on the terms of the individual agreements and is recognized on an accrual basis.
We follow accounting guidance on the disclosure of the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, which requires information to be disclosed at disaggregated levels, defined as portfolio segments and classes. Under this guidance, secured advances to suppliers are considered impaired, based on current information and events, if we determine it probable that all amounts due under the original terms of the receivable will not be collected. Recognition of interest income is suspended once the borrower defaults on the originally scheduled delivery of agricultural commodities as the collection of future income is determined not to be probable. No additional interest income is accrued from the point of default until ultimate recovery, at which time amounts collected are credited first against the receivable and then to any unrecognized interest income.
51


Goodwill
When we acquire a business, the consideration is first assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangible assets, based on estimated fair values, with any excess recorded as goodwill. Determining fair value requires significant estimates and assumptions based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including market participants, projected growth rates, the amounts and timing of future cash flows, and the discount rates applied to the cash flows. Determining the useful life of an asset also requires significant judgment. 
Our goodwill balance is not amortized to expense. Instead, it is tested for impairment at least annually. We generally perform our annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter. If events or indicators of impairment occur between annual impairment analyses, we perform an impairment analysis at that date. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant asset. In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, we: (1) determine our reporting units; (2) allocate goodwill to our various reporting units to which the acquired goodwill relates; (3) determine the carrying value, or book value, of our reporting units; (4) estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model and/or using market multiples; (5) compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value; and (6) if the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, we recognize an impairment charge for such amount, but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis, including the identification of our reporting units, identification and allocation of the assets and liabilities to each of our reporting units, and determination of fair value. In estimating the fair value of a reporting unit for the purposes of our annual or periodic impairment analysis, we make estimates and significant judgments about the future cash flows of that reporting unit aligned with management’s strategic business plans. Changes in judgment related to these assumptions and estimates could result in goodwill impairment charges. We believe the assumptions and estimates used are appropriate based on the information currently available to management. Estimates based on market earnings multiples of peer companies identified for the reporting unit may also be used, where available. Critical estimates in the determination of fair value under the income approach include, but are not limited to, assumptions about variables such as commodity prices, crop throughput and production volumes, profitability, future capital expenditures and discount rates, all of which are subject to a high degree of judgment.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we performed our annual impairment assessment and determined the estimated fair values of each of our goodwill reporting units exceeded each of their carrying values. See Note 8- Goodwill, to our consolidated financial statements. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $108 million related to what had been our Bunge Loders Croklaan reporting unit.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment and other finite-lived intangible assets. Property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful life on a straight line basis. When facts and circumstances indicate the carrying values of these assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the undiscounted projected future cash flows to be generated by such assets from their use and ultimate disposal. If it appears the carrying value of our assets is not recoverable, we compare the carrying value of the assets to the discounted projected future cash flows to be generated by such assets from their use and ultimate disposal, and if the carrying value is greater, recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the discounted projected future cash flows and the carrying value of the assets as a charge against results of operations. Our judgments related to the expected useful lives of these assets and our ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amount of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance of the assets, changes in economic conditions and changes in operating performance. As we assess the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of these assets, changes in these factors could cause us to realize material impairment charges. We recorded impairment charges of $180 million for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to portfolio rationalization initiatives.
Contingencies
We are a party to a large number of claims and lawsuits, primarily non-income tax and labor claims in Brazil and non-income tax claims in Argentina, and we make provisions for potential liabilities arising from such claims when we deem them probable and reasonably estimable. These estimates of probable loss have been developed in consultation with in-house and outside counsel and are based on an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies relating to these proceedings. For more information on tax and labor claims in Brazil, see "Item 3. Legal Proceedings"
52


Income Taxes
We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we are likely to realize. We consider projections of future taxable income and prudent tax planning strategies to assess the need for and the amount of the valuation allowances. If we determine that we can realize a deferred tax asset in excess of our net recorded amount, we decrease the valuation allowance, thereby decreasing income tax expense. Conversely, if we determine that we are unable to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset, we increase the valuation allowance, thereby increasing income tax expense.
We apply a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition and de-recognition of tax benefits. Accordingly, we recognize the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The calculation of our uncertain tax positions involves complexities in the application of intricate tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. Future changes in judgment related to the ultimate resolution of unrecognized tax benefits will affect the earnings in the quarter of such change. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had recorded uncertain tax positions of $52 million and $53 million, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. For additional information on income taxes, please refer to Note 14- Income Taxes to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recoverable Taxes
We evaluate the collectability of our recoverable taxes and record allowances if we determine that collection is doubtful. Recoverable taxes include value-added taxes paid upon the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, raw materials and taxable services and other transactional taxes, which can be recovered in cash or as compensation against income taxes, or other taxes we may owe, primarily in Brazil and Europe. Management's assumption about the collectability of recoverable taxes requires significant judgment because it involves an assessment of the ability and willingness of the applicable federal or local government to refund the taxes. The balance of these allowances fluctuates depending on the sales activity of existing inventories, purchases of new inventories, percentages of export sales, seasonality, changes in applicable tax rates, cash payments by the applicable government agencies and the offset of outstanding balances against income or certain other taxes owed to the applicable governments, where permissible. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for recoverable taxes was $58 million and $78 million, respectively. We continue to monitor the economic environment and events taking place in the applicable countries and in cases where we determine that recovery is doubtful, recoverable taxes are reduced by allowances for the estimated unrecoverable amounts.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Risk Management
As a result of our global activities, we are exposed to changes in, among other things, agricultural commodity prices, transportation costs, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and energy costs, which may affect our results of operations and financial position. We actively monitor and manage these various market risks associated with our business activities. Our risk management decisions take place in various locations, but exposure limits are centrally set and monitored, operating under a global governance framework. Additionally, our Board of Directors' Enterprise Risk Management Committee and our internal Management Risk Committee oversee our global market risk governance framework, including risk management policies and limits.
We use derivative instruments for the purpose of managing the exposures associated with commodity prices, transportation costs, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, energy costs, and for positioning our overall portfolio relative to expected market movements in accordance with established policies and procedures. We enter into derivative instruments primarily with commodity exchanges in the case of commodity futures and options, major financial institutions, or approved exchange clearing shipping companies in the case of ocean freight. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, for hedged exposures those fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying exposures. The derivative instruments that we use for hedging purposes are intended to reduce the volatility of our results of operations. However, they can occasionally result in earnings volatility, which may be material. See Note 15- Fair Value Measurements and Note 16- Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities to our consolidated financial statements included as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of our use of derivative instruments.

Table of Contents

Credit and Counterparty Risk
Through our normal business activities, we are subject to significant credit and counterparty risks that arise through commercial sales and purchases, including forward commitments to buy or sell, and through various OTC derivative instruments that we use to manage risks inherent in our business activities. We define credit and counterparty risk as a potential financial loss due to the failure of a counterparty to honor its obligations. The exposure is measured based upon several factors, including unpaid accounts receivable from counterparties, as well as unrealized gains from forward purchase or sale contracts and OTC derivative instruments. Credit and counterparty risk also includes sovereign credit risk. We actively monitor credit and counterparty risk through a regular review of exposures and credit analysis by regional credit teams, as well as a review by global and corporate committees that monitor counterparty performance. We record provisions for counterparty losses from time to time as a result of our credit and counterparty analysis.
During periods of tight conditions in global credit markets, downturns in regional or global economic conditions, and/or significant price volatility, credit and counterparty risks are heightened. This increased risk is monitored through, among other things, exposure reporting, increased communication with key counterparties, management reviews, and specific focus on counterparties or groups of counterparties that we may determine as high risk. We have reduced exposures and associated position limits in certain cases, and also decreased our use of non-exchange cleared derivative instruments.
Commodities Risk
We operate in many areas of the food industry, from agricultural raw materials to the production and sale of branded food products. As a result, we purchase and produce various materials, many of which are agricultural commodities, including: soybeans, soybean oil, soybean meal, palm oil (from crude to various degrees of refined products), softseeds (including sunflower seed, rapeseed and canola) and related oil and meal derived from them, wheat, barley, shea nut, and corn. Agricultural commodities are subject to price fluctuations due to a number of unpredictable factors that may create price risk. As described above, we are also subject to the risk of counterparty non-performance under forward purchase or sale contracts. From time to time, we have experienced instances of counterparty non-performance, as a result of significant declines in counterparty profitability under these contracts due to movements in commodity prices between the time the contracts were executed and the contractual forward delivery period.
We enter into various derivative contracts with the primary objective of managing our exposure to adverse price movements in the agricultural commodities used and produced in our business operations. We have established policies that limit the amount of unhedged fixed price agricultural commodity positions permissible for our operating companies, which are generally a combination of volumetric, drawdown, and value-at-risk ("VaR") limits. We measure and review our commodity positions on a daily basis. We also employ stress-testing techniques in order to quantify our exposures to price and liquidity risks under non-normal or event driven market conditions.
Our daily net agricultural commodity position consists of inventory, forward purchase and sale contracts, and OTC and exchange traded derivative instruments, including those used to hedge portions of our production requirements. The fair value of that position is a summation of the fair values of each agricultural commodity, calculated by valuing all of our commodity positions for the period at quoted market prices, where available, or by utilizing a close proxy. VaR is calculated on the net position and monitored at the 95% confidence interval. In addition, scenario analysis and stress testing are performed. For example, one measure of market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in prices. The results of this analysis, which may differ from actual results, are as follows:
  Year Ended
December 31, 2020
Year Ended
December 31, 2019
(US$ in millions) Fair Value Market Risk Fair Value Market Risk
Highest daily aggregated position value $ 1,374  $ (137) $ 603  $ (60)
Lowest daily aggregated position value $ 54  $ (5) $ (673) $ (67)
Ocean Freight Risk
Ocean freight represents a significant portion of our operating costs. The market price for ocean freight varies depending on the supply and demand for ocean vessels, global economic conditions, and other factors. We enter into time charter agreements for time on ocean freight vessels based on forecasted requirements for the purpose of transporting agricultural commodities. Our time charter agreements generally have terms ranging from two months to approximately seven years. We use financial derivatives, generally freight forward agreements, to hedge portions of our ocean freight costs. The ocean freight derivatives are included in other current assets and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
54

Table of Contents

Energy Risk
We purchase various energy commodities such as electricity, natural gas and bunker fuel, which are used to operate our manufacturing facilities and ocean freight vessels. These energy commodities are subject to price risk. We use financial derivatives, including exchange traded and OTC swaps and options for various purposes, to manage our exposure to volatility in energy costs and market prices. These energy derivatives are included in other current assets and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Currency Risk
Our global operations require active participation in foreign exchange markets. Our primary foreign currency exposures are the Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, the Euro, and the Chinese yuan/renminbi. To reduce the risk arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, we enter into derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options. The changes in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to the price changes in the related currency exposures. The potential loss in fair value for such net currency positions resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates as of December 31, 2020 was not material.
When determining our exposure, we exclude intercompany loans that are deemed to be permanently invested. The repayments of permanently invested intercompany loans are not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future and therefore, are treated as analogous to equity for accounting purposes. As a result, the foreign exchange gains and losses on these borrowings are excluded from the determination of net income and recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets. Included in Other comprehensive income (loss) are foreign currency losses of $140 million or the year ended December 31, 2020 and foreign currency gains of $929 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to permanently invested intercompany loans.
Interest Rate Risk
We have debt in fixed and floating rate instruments. We are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate exposure related to our debt portfolio.
The aggregate fair value of our short and long-term debt, based on market yields at December 31, 2020, was $7,474 million with a carrying value of $7,288 million.
A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest yields on our senior note debt at December 31, 2020 would result in a decrease of approximately $47 million in the fair value of our debt. Similarly, a decrease of 100 basis points in the interest yields on our senior debt at December 31, 2020 would cause an increase of approximately $29 million in the fair value of our debt.
A hypothetical 100 basis point change in LIBOR would result in a change of approximately $57 million in our interest expense on our variable rate debt at December 31, 2020. Some of our variable rate debt is denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and is indexed to non-U.S. dollar-based interest rate indices, such as EURIBOR and TJLP, and certain benchmark rates in local bank markets. As such, the hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rate ignores the potential impact of any currency movements. See "Risk Factors - We are a capital intensive business and depend on cash provided by our operations as well as access to external financing to operate and grow our business" for a discussion of certain risks related to LIBOR.
Derivative Instruments
Foreign Exchange Derivatives—We use a combination of foreign exchange forward, swap, futures and option contracts in certain of our operations to mitigate the risk of exchange rate fluctuations in connection with certain commercial and balance sheet exposures. The foreign exchange forward swap and option contracts may be designated as cash flow or fair value hedges. We may also use net investment hedges to partially offset the translation adjustments arising from the remeasurement of our investment in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.
We assess, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedge transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items.
Interest Rate Derivatives—Interest rate derivatives used by us as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded contemporaneously in earnings. Certain of these swap agreements may be designated as fair value hedges. The carrying amount of the associated hedged debt is also adjusted through earnings for changes in the fair value arising from changes in benchmark interest rates. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of managing certain of our interest rate exposures. We may also enter into interest rate basis swap agreements that do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is primarily presented in interest expense.

Commodity Derivatives—We primarily use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to movements associated with agricultural commodity prices. We generally use exchange traded futures and options contracts to minimize the effects of changes in the prices of agricultural commodities held as inventories or subject to forward purchase and sale contracts, but may also enter into OTC commodity transactions, including swaps, which are settled in cash at maturity or termination based on exchange-quoted futures prices. Changes in fair values of exchange traded futures contracts, representing the unrealized gains and/or losses on these instruments, are settled daily, generally through our 100% owned futures clearing subsidiary. Forward purchase and sale contracts are primarily settled through delivery of agricultural commodities. While we consider these exchange traded futures and forward purchase and sale contracts to be effective economic hedges, we do not designate or account for the majority of our commodity contracts as hedges. Changes in fair values of these contracts and related RMI are included in Cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income. The forward contracts require performance of both us and the contract counterparty in future periods. Contracts to purchase agricultural commodities generally relate to current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Contracts for the sale of agricultural commodities generally do not extend beyond one future crop cycle.
Ocean Freight Derivatives—We use derivative instruments referred to as freight forward agreements, or FFAs, and FFA options to hedge portions of our current and anticipated ocean freight costs. Changes in the fair values of ocean freight derivatives are recorded in Cost of goods sold.
Energy Derivatives—We use derivative instruments for various purposes including to manage our exposure to volatility in energy costs, and our exposure to market prices related to the sale of biofuels. Our operations use substantial amounts of energy, including natural gas, coal and fuel oil, including bunker fuel. Changes in the fair values of energy derivatives are recorded in Cost of goods sold.
Other Derivatives—We may also enter into other derivatives, including credit default swaps and equity derivatives, to manage our exposure to credit risk and broader macroeconomic risks, respectively. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures," as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Bunge Limited's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Bunge Limited's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this annual report based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on this assessment, management concluded that Bunge Limited's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this annual report.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that has audited and reported on Bunge Limited's consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, has issued its written attestation report on Bunge Limited's internal control over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, we continue to migrate certain processes to shared business service models from across our operations in order to consolidate back office functions while standardizing our processes and financial systems globally. In connection with these initiatives, we have and will continue to align and streamline the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. These initiatives are not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting but are expected over time to result in changes to such internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls may also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of control effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Bunge Limited

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Bunge Limited and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, of the Company and our report dated February 19, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Bunge Limited    
            
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bunge Limited and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 19, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Readily Marketable Inventories and Physically Settled Forward Purchase and Sale Contracts - Refer to Notes 1 and 15 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company records agricultural commodity inventories, referred to as readily marketable inventories “RMI”, and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings as a component of cost of goods sold. The Company values RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts primarily using Level 1 inputs, such as public exchange quotes of commodity futures, broker or dealer quotations. A portion of the value, however, is derived using significant unobservable inputs referred to as Level 3 inputs, such as management estimates regarding costs of transportation and other location-related adjustments, that involve significant judgment by management.

Table of Contents

Auditing the significant unobservable inputs used by management to estimate the fair value of RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts involved moderate judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the significant unobservable inputs used by management to estimate the fair value of RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts included the following, among others:
We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of the Company’s methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts.
We evaluated the competence, capabilities, and objectivity of in-house experts used to estimate the fair value of RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts.
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s review of the underlying assumptions used in the Company’s process of estimating the fair value of RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts, including those over Level 3 inputs.
We evaluated management’s ability to accurately estimate fair value by comparing management’s historical estimates to subsequent transactions, taking into account changes in market conditions subsequent to year-end.
We made a selection of RMI and physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts to test Level 3 inputs and performed the following:
We evaluated the reasonableness of the Level 3 inputs by reference to third-party data, information produced by the entity, and inquires of management.
We searched for contradictory evidence to Level 3 inputs based on our knowledge of the commodities market and inquiries of management.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business—Bunge Limited, a Bermuda company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which it is considered the primary beneficiary, through which its businesses are conducted (collectively "Bunge" or "the Company"), is a leading global agribusiness and food company. Bunge's common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "BG." Bunge operates in five reportable segments: Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, Sugar and Bioenergy, and Fertilizer.
Corporate and Other includes salaries and overhead for corporate functions that are not allocated to the Company’s individual reporting segments because the operating performance of such reporting segments is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker exclusive of these items, as well as certain other activities including Bunge Ventures, the Company's captive insurance, and securitization activities.
Agribusiness—Bunge's Agribusiness segment is an integrated, global business involved in the purchase, storage, transport, processing, and sale of agricultural commodities and commodity products. Bunge's agribusiness operations and assets are located in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with merchandising and distribution offices throughout the world.
Bunge's Agribusiness segment also participates in related financial activities, such as offering trade structured finance, which leverages its international trade flows, providing risk management services to customers by assisting them with managing price exposure to agricultural commodities, foreign exchange and other financial instruments.
Edible Oil products—Bunge's Edible Oil Products segment produces and sells edible oil products, such as packaged and bulk oils and fats, shortenings, margarine, mayonnaise, and other products derived from the vegetable oil refining process, and refines and fractionates palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, and shea butter. Bunge's edible oil products operations are located in North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa.
Milling products—Bunge's Milling Products segment primarily comprises wheat and corn milling businesses that purchase wheat and corn directly from farmers and dealers and process them into milled products for food processors, bakeries, brewers, snack food producers, and other customers. Bunge's wheat milling activities are primarily located in Mexico and Brazil. Corn milling activities are primarily located in the United States and Mexico.
Sugar and Bioenergy—In December 2019, Bunge contributed its Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, forming the majority of its Sugar and Bioenergy segment, through which it produced and sold sugar and ethanol derived from sugarcane, as well as energy derived from the sugar and ethanol production process, into a joint venture with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP p.l.c. ("BP"). The joint venture, BP Bunge Bioenergia, in which Bunge has a 50% interest, operates on a stand-alone basis with a total of 11 mills located across the Southeast, North, and Midwest regions of Brazil. As a result of this transaction, Bunge no longer consolidates its Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations in its consolidated financial statements, and accounts for its interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.
Fertilizer—Bunge's Fertilizer segment operates in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay where it produces, blends and distributes a range of liquid and dry NPK fertilizers, including nitrogen-based liquid and solid phosphate fertilizers. Bunge's operations in Argentina are closely linked to its grain origination activities as it supplies fertilizer to producers who supply the Company with grain. This segment also includes port operations in Brazil.
Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accounting policies used to prepare these financial statements are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements in prior years, except as described in these notes or for the adoption of new standards as outlined below.
Discontinued Operations—In determining whether a disposal group should be presented as discontinued operations, Bunge makes a determination of whether such a group being disposed of comprises a component of the entity or a group of components of the entity that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. If these determinations are made affirmatively, the results of operations of the group being disposed of (as well as any gain or loss on the disposal transaction) are aggregated for separate presentation apart from the continuing operations of the Company for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

BUNGE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bunge, its subsidiaries and VIEs in which Bunge is considered to be the primary beneficiary and, as a result, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of all entities over which Bunge exercises control. Equity investments in which Bunge has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Investments in which Bunge does not exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost, or fair value if that is readily determinable. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. An enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it has a controlling financial interest, defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the economics of the VIE and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE's operations. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment. The VIE and consolidation assessments are revisited upon the occurrence of relevant reconsideration events. For VIEs in which Bunge is considered the primary beneficiary, the entities meet the definition of a business, Bunge holds a majority voting interest in the entities, and the entities' assets can be used other than for the settlement of the VIE's obligations.
Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries related to Bunge's ownership interests of less than 100% are reported as Noncontrolling interests or Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling ownership interests in Bunge's earnings, net of tax, is reported as Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of income.
Reclassifications—Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its segment reporting to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from its reporting segments, as further described in Note 28- Segment Information. Corresponding prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period classification.
Effective July 1, 2020, the Company changed it's reporting of cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less to separately present such cash proceeds and repayments in its consolidated statement of cash flows. Prior to July 1, 2020, the Company presented cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less on a net basis. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Bunge to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offsetting—In the normal course of its operations the Company routinely enters into transactions resulting in the recognition of assets and liabilities stemming from unconditional obligations, for example trade receivables and trade payables, or conditional obligations, for example unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts at fair value, with the same counterparty. The Company generally records all such assets and liabilities on a gross basis, even when they are subject to master netting agreements.
However, the Company also engages in various trade structured finance activities to leverage the value of its global trade flows. These activities include programs under which Bunge generally obtains U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit (“LCs”), each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, from financial institutions and time deposits denominated in either the local currency of the financial institutions' counterparties or in U.S. dollars, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts, and other programs in which trade related payables are set-off against receivables when all related assets and liabilities are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements and the criteria of ASC 210-20, Offsetting, has been met. Cash inflows are offset by the related cash outflows resulting from placement of the time deposits and repayment of the LCs. All cash flows related to the programs are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements—Bunge's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the majority of Bunge's foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. As such, amounts included in the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in equity are translated using average exchange rates during each period. Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). However, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, if a foreign entity's economy is determined to be highly inflationary, then such foreign entity's financial statements are remeasured as if the functional currency were the reporting currency.
    Bunge has significant operations in Argentina and, up until June 30, 2018, had utilized the official exchange rate of the Argentine peso published by the Argentine government when recording applicable transactions and remeasuring applicable assets and liabilities in its financial statements. Argentina has experienced negative economic trends, as evidenced by multiple periods of increasing inflation rates, devaluation of the peso, and increasing borrowing rates, requiring the Argentine

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
government to take mitigating actions. During the second quarter of 2018, it was determined that Argentina's economy should be considered highly inflationary, and as such, beginning on July 1, 2018, Bunge's Argentine subsidiaries changed their functional currency to the U.S. Dollar. This change in functional currency did not have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Transactions—Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured into their respective functional currencies at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gain or loss is included in Bunge's consolidated statements of income as Foreign exchange gain (loss) unless the remeasurement gain or loss relates to an intercompany transaction that is of a long-term investment nature and for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future. Gains or losses arising from remeasurement of such transactions are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Bunge's consolidated balance sheets.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash—Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits and readily marketable securities with original maturity dates of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sums to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
December 31,
(US$ in millions) 2020 2019 2018
Cash and cash equivalents $ 352  $ 320  $ 389 
Restricted cash included in other current assets 29 
Total $ 381  $ 322  $ 393 

Trade Accounts Receivable—Trade accounts receivable is stated at historical carrying amounts net of write-offs and allowances for uncollectible accounts. Bunge establishes allowances for uncollectible trade accounts receivable based on lifetime expected credit losses utilizing an aging schedule for each pool of trade accounts receivable. Pools are determined based on risk characteristics such as the type of customer and geography. A default rate is derived using a provision matrix with data based on Bunge's historical receivables information. The default rate is then applied to the pool to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. Given the short term nature of the Company's trade accounts receivable, the default rate is only adjusted if significant changes in the credit profile of the portfolio are identified (e.g., poor crop years, credit issues at the country level, systematic risk), resulting in historic loss rates that are not representative of forecasted losses. Uncollectible accounts are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding historical balance or when the Company has determined that collection of the balance is unlikely.
Specifically, in establishing appropriate default rates as of December 31, 2020, the Company took into consideration expected impacts on its customers and other debtors in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, which did not result in a material impact on the financial statements.
Bunge records and reports accrued interest receivable within the same line item as the related receivable. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated on the amortized cost basis of the trade accounts receivable, including accrued interest receivable. Bunge recognizes credit loss expense when establishing an allowance for accrued interest receivable.
Secured Advances to Suppliers—Secured advances to suppliers is stated at historical carrying amounts net of write-offs and allowances for uncollectible accounts. Secured advances to suppliers are expected to be settled through delivery of non-cash assets and as such, allowances are established when collection is not probable. Bunge establishes an allowance for secured advances to suppliers, generally farmers and resellers of grain, based on historical experience, farming economics and other market conditions as well as specific customer collection issues. Uncollectible accounts are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount below the outstanding historical balance or when Bunge has determined that collection is unlikely.
Secured advances to suppliers bear interest at contractual rates that reflect current market interest rates at the time of the transaction. There are no deferred fees or costs associated with these receivables. As a result, there are no imputed interest amounts to be amortized under the interest method. Interest income is calculated based on the terms of the individual agreements and is recognized on an accrual basis.


F-11

BUNGE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Bunge follows accounting guidance on the disclosure of the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, which requires information to be disclosed at disaggregated levels, defined as portfolio segments and classes. Under this guidance, a class of receivables is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if Bunge determines it probable that all amounts due under the original terms of the receivable will not be collected. Recognition of interest income is suspended once the borrower defaults on the originally scheduled delivery of agricultural commodities as the collection of future income is determined not to be probable. No additional interest income is accrued from the point of default until ultimate recovery, at which time amounts collected are credited first against the receivable and then to any unrecognized interest income.
Inventories—Readily marketable inventories ("RMI") are agricultural commodity inventories, including soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, corn, and wheat that are readily convertible to cash because of their commodity characteristics, widely available markets, and international pricing mechanisms. All of Bunge's RMI are recorded at fair value. These agricultural commodity inventories have quoted market prices in active markets, may be sold without significant further processing, and have predictable and insignificant disposal costs. Changes in the fair values of RMI are recognized in earnings as a component of Cost of goods sold.
Inventories other than RMI are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value by inventory product class. Cost is determined primarily using the weighted-average cost method.
Fair Value Measurements—Bunge determines fair value based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Bunge determines the fair values of its RMI, derivatives, and certain other assets based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs based on market data obtained from sources independent of Bunge that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are inputs that are developed based on the best information available in circumstances that reflect Bunge's own assumptions based on market data and on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value standard describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value:
Level Description Financial Instrument (Assets / Liabilities)
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts.

Marketable securities in active markets.
Level 2 Observable inputs, including adjusted Level 1 quotes, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts (less liquid market).

Readily marketable inventories.

Over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’) commodity purchase and sale contracts.

OTC derivatives whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on exchange traded prices, adjusted for location specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Marketable securities in less active markets.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities whose value is determined using proprietary pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

Assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Based on historical experience with Bunge’s suppliers and customers, Bunge’s own credit risk, and knowledge of current market conditions, Bunge does not view nonperformance risk to be a significant input to fair value for the majority of its forward commodity purchase and sale contracts.
In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. Bunge’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value


F-12

Table of Contents
BUNGE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Bunge’s policy regarding the timing of transfers between levels, including both transfers into and transfers out of Level 3, is to measure and record the transfers at the end of the reporting period.
The majority of Bunge's exchange traded agricultural commodity futures are settled daily, generally through its clearing subsidiary and, therefore, such futures are not included in the assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Bunge enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to movements associated with agricultural commodity prices, transportation costs, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and energy costs. Bunge's use of these instruments is generally intended to mitigate the exposure to market variables (see Note 16- Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities). Additionally, commodity contracts relating to forward sales of commodities in the Company’s Agribusiness segment, including soybeans, soybean meal and oil, corn, and wheat, are accounted for as derivatives at fair value under ASC 815 (see Revenue Recognition below).
Generally, derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in Other current assets or Other current liabilities in Bunge's consolidated balance sheets. For derivatives designated as hedges, Bunge assesses at the inception of the hedge whether any such derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items and, on an ongoing basis, qualitatively monitors whether that assertion is still met. The changes in fair values of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, along with the gains or losses on the related hedged items are recorded in earnings in the consolidated statements of income in the same caption as the hedged items. The changes in fair values of derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to earnings when the hedged cash flows affect earnings or when the hedge is no longer considered to be effective. In addition, Bunge may designate certain derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments as net investment hedges to hedge the exposure associated with its equity investments in foreign operations. When using forward derivative contracts as hedging instruments in a net investment hedge, all changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.
Marketable Securities and Other Short-Term Investments—Bunge classifies its marketable debt securities and short-term investments as available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, or trading. Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains (losses) included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Held-to-maturity debt investments represent financial assets in which Bunge has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Debt trading securities and all equity securities are recorded at fair value and are bought and held principally for selling them in the near term and therefore held for only a short period of time, with all gains (losses) included in Net income (loss). Bunge monitors its held-to-maturity investments for impairment periodically and recognizes an impairment charge when the decline in fair value of an investment is judged to be other than temporary.
Recoverable Taxes—Recoverable taxes include value-added taxes paid upon the acquisition of raw materials and taxable services and other transactional taxes, which can be recovered in cash or as compensation against income taxes or other taxes owed by Bunge, primarily in Brazil and Europe. These recoverable tax payments are included in Other current assets or Other non-current assets based on their expected realization. In cases where Bunge determines that recovery is doubtful, recoverable taxes are reduced by allowances for the estimated unrecoverable amounts.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net—Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements that extend either the life, capacity, efficiency, or improve the safety of an asset are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs related to legal obligations associated with the future retirement of capitalized assets are capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset. Bunge generally capitalizes eligible costs to acquire or develop internal-use software that are incurred during the application development stage. Interest costs on borrowings during construction/completion periods of major capital projects are also capitalized.


F-13

Table of Contents
BUNGE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Depreciation is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows:
  Years
Buildings
10 - 50
Machinery and equipment
7 - 25
Furniture, fixtures and other
3 - 20
Goodwill—Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in a business acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment, or between annual tests if events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. Bunge's annual impairment testing is generally performed during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which has been determined to be the Company's operating segments or one level below the operating segments in certain instances (see Note 8- Goodwill).
Other Intangible Assets—Finite-lived intangible assets primarily include trademarks, customer relationships and lists, port facility usage rights, and patents that are amortized on a straight-line basis over their contractual or legal lives, or their estimated useful lives where such lives are not determined by law or contract (see Note 9- Other Intangible Assets).
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets—Bunge reviews its property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Bunge bases its evaluation of recoverability on such indicators as the nature, future economic benefits, and geographic locations of the assets, historical or future profitability measures, and other external market conditions. If these indicators result in the expected non-recoverability of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group, Bunge evaluates potential impairment using undiscounted estimated future cash flows. If such undiscounted future cash flows during the asset's remaining useful life are below its carrying value, a loss is recognized for the shortfall, measured by the present value of the estimated future cash flows or by third-party appraisals. Bunge records impairments related to property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets used in the processing of its products in Cost of goods sold in its consolidated statements of income. Any impairment of marketing or brand assets is recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income (see Note 10- Impairments).
Property, plant and equipment and other finite-lived intangible assets to be sold or otherwise disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Investments in Affiliates—Bunge has investments in various unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, minus impairment, and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions. Bunge reviews its investments annually or when an event or circumstances indicate that a potential decline in value may be other than temporary. Bunge considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time the fair value of the investment is expected to be below its carrying value, the financial condition, operating performance and near-term prospects of the affiliate, and Bunge's intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery of the fair value. (see Note 10- Impairments and Note 11- Investments in Affiliates).
Revenue Recognition—The Company’s revenue comprises sales from commodity contracts that are accounted for under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) and sales of other products and services that are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). Additional information about the Company’s revenues can be found in Note 28- Segment Information.
Revenue from commodity contracts (ASC 815)—Revenue from commodity contracts primarily relates to forward sales of commodities such as soybeans, soybean meal and oil, corn, and wheat accounted for as derivatives at fair value under ASC 815, primarily in the Company’s Agribusiness segment. These forward sales meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 as they have an underlying (e.g. the price of soybeans), a notional amount (e.g. metric tons), no initial net investment, and can be net settled since the commodity is readily convertible to cash. Bunge does not apply the normal purchase and normal sale exception available under ASC 815 to these contracts. Certain of the Company’s sales in its Edible Oil Products and Milling Products segments also qualify as derivatives, primarily sales of commodities like bulk soybean and canola oil.
Revenue from commodity contracts is recognized in Net sales for the contracted amount when the contracts are settled at a point in time by transferring control of the commodity to the customer, similarly to revenue recognized from contracts with

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
customers under ASC 606. From inception through settlement, these forward sales arrangements are recorded at fair value under ASC 815 with unrealized gains and losses recognized in Cost of goods sold and carried on the consolidated balance sheets as current assets (see Note 6- Other Current Assets) or current liabilities (see Note 13- Other Current Liabilities), respectively. Further information about the fair value of these contracts is presented in Note 15- Fair Value Measurements.  
Revenue from contracts with customers (ASC 606)—Revenue from contracts with customers accounted for under ASC 606 is primarily generated in the Company's Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, and Fertilizer segments through the sale of refined edible oil-based products such as packaged vegetable oils, shortenings, margarines, and mayonnaise; milled grain products such as wheat flours, bakery mixes, and corn-based products; and fertilizer products. These sales are accounted for under ASC 606 as these sales arrangements do not meet the criteria to be considered derivatives under ASC 815. These revenues are measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and exclude sales taxes, discounts related to promotional programs, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue from these contracts at a point in time when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer, generally when legal title and risks and rewards transfer to the customer. Sales terms provide for transfer of title either at the time and point of shipment or at the time and point of delivery and acceptance of the product being sold. In contracts that do not specify the timing of transfer of legal title or transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, judgment is required in determining the timing of transfer of control. In such cases, the Company considers standard business practices and the relevant laws and regulations applicable to the transaction to determine when legal title or the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred.
The transaction price is generally allocated to performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices are estimated based on observable data of the Company’s sales of such products and services to similar customers and in similar circumstances on a standalone basis. In assessing whether to allocate variable consideration to a specific part of the contract, the Company considers the nature of the variable payment and whether it relates specifically to its efforts to satisfy a specific part of the contract. Variable consideration is generally known upon satisfaction of the performance obligation.
    Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
    Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in Cost of goods sold.
    Warranties provided to customers are primarily assurance-type warranties on the fitness of purpose and merchantability of the Company’s goods and services. The Company does not provide service-type warranties to customers.
    Payment is generally due at the time of shipment or delivery, or within a specified time frame after shipment or delivery, which is generally 30-60 days. The Company’s contracts generally provide customers the right to reject any products that do not meet agreed quality specifications. Product returns and refunds are not material.
Additionally, the Company recognizes revenue in the Agribusiness segment from ocean freight and port services over time as the related services are performed. Performance obligations are typically completed within a fiscal quarter and any unearned revenue or accrued revenues are not material. 
Share-Based Compensation—Bunge maintains equity incentive plans for its employees and non-employee directors (see Note 26- Share-based Compensation). Bunge accounts for share-based compensation based on the grant date fair value. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes—Income tax expenses and benefits are recognized based on the tax laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which Bunge's subsidiaries operate. Under Bermuda law, Bunge is not required to pay taxes in Bermuda on either income or capital gains. The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and deferred income taxes arising as a result of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in Bunge's financial statements and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if current evidence does not suggest that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in Income tax (expense) benefit in the consolidated statements of income (see Note 14- Income Taxes).
Research and Development—Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $24 million, $15 million and $15 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements—In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company continues to evaluate, but does not expect this standard to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
    In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)- Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and is to be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
    In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)- Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduces complexity in the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces a new accounting model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model, for estimating credit losses on certain financial instruments and expands the disclosure requirements for estimating such credit losses. Under the new model, an entity is required to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The guidance also amends the current impairment model for debt securities classified as available-for-sale. The Company adopted the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements.

2. PORTFOLIO RATIONALIZATION INITIATIVES
Dispositions
Brazilian Margarine and Mayonnaise
On December 20, 2019, Bunge announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its margarine and mayonnaise assets in Brazil to a third party. The transaction includes three production plants and certain related brands. The sale was completed during the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company recorded a gain of $98 million on the sale, which was recorded within Other income (expense)—net on the consolidated statement of income.
The following table presents the book value of the major classes of assets and liabilities that were included in the disposal group, which were reported under the Edible Oil Products segment:

Woodland, California Rice Mill
On November 10, 2020, Bunge announced that it had agreed to sell its rice mill in Woodland, California to Farmers' Rice Cooperative, together with related working capital for $25 million. The sale was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2020, and as the sale price, net of applicable transaction costs, substantially equaled net book value, no material gain or loss was recorded on the sale.
The following table presents the book value of the major classes of assets and liabilities that were included in the disposal group, which were reported under the Milling Products segment:

BP Bunge Bioenergia Formation
    On December 2, 2019, Bunge and BP completed the formation of BP Bunge Bioenergia, the Brazilian bioenergy joint venture that combined their Brazilian bioenergy and sugarcane ethanol businesses. Pursuant to the business combination agreement, the Company and BP contributed their respective interests in their Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the joint venture. The Company received cash proceeds of $775 million in the transaction, comprising $700 million in respect of non-recourse debt of the Company assumed by the joint venture at closing, and an additional $75 million from BP, before customary closing adjustments. The Company used the proceeds to reduce outstanding indebtedness under its credit facilities. The joint venture agreements provide for certain exit rights of the parties, including private sale rights beginning 18 months after closing and the ability by the Company to trigger an initial public offering of the joint venture after two years from closing, enabling future monetization potential.
    The Company recognized an impairment charge and loss on sale in its Sugar and Bioenergy segment, principally related to the recognition of cumulative currency translation effects, of $1,524 million, recorded in Cost of goods sold, $49 million recorder in Other income (expense) - net, and $2 million recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses, for the year ended December 31, 2019. As a result of this transaction, Bunge no longer consolidates its Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations in its consolidated financial statements from December 2, 2019, and accounts for its interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

3. TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM
Bunge engages in various trade structured finance activities to leverage the value of its global trade flows. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, net returns from these activities were $25 million, $27 million and $30 million, respectively, and were included as a reduction of Cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. These activities include programs under which Bunge generally obtains U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit (“LCs”), each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, from financial institutions and time deposits denominated in either the local currency of the financial institutions' counterparties or in U.S. dollars, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts, and other programs in which trade related payables are set-off against receivables, all of which are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, time deposits and LCs of $4,715 million and $3,409 million, respectively, were presented net on the consolidated balance sheets as the criteria of ASC 210-20, Offsetting, had been met. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, time deposits, including those presented on a net basis, carried weighted-average interest rates of 1.87% and 3.10%, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, total net proceeds from issuances of LCs were $4,654 million, $3,318 million and $4,657 million, respectively. These cash inflows are offset by the related cash outflows resulting from placement of the time deposits and repayment of the LCs. All cash flows related to the programs are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

4. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM

$ 93  $ 51  $ 144 
(1)     Long-term portion of the allowance for credit losses is included in Other non-current assets.
(2) In addition to the above mentioned current period provisions associated with expected credit losses, in 2020 the Company settled ongoing litigation with a customer in relation to an outstanding account receivable dating from 2015 resulting in the Company recording a $51 million bad debt expense, within Selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as a $15 million legal provision, within Other income (expense) – net, in its consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Trade accounts receivable balance related to this settlement and the corresponding allowance were written off.
Trade Receivables Securitization Program
Bunge and certain of its subsidiaries participate in a trade receivables securitization program (the "Program") with a financial institution, as administrative agent, and certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the "Purchasers") that provides for funding of up to $800 million against receivables sold into the Program. The Program is designed to enhance Bunge's financial flexibility by providing an additional source of liquidity for its operations. In connection with the Program, certain of Bunge's U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries that originate trade receivables may sell eligible receivables in their entirety on a revolving basis to a consolidated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, Bunge Securitization B.V. ("BSBV") formed under the laws of the Netherlands. BSBV in turn sells such purchased trade receivables to the administrative agent (acting on behalf of the Purchasers) pursuant to a receivables transfer agreement. In connection with these sales of accounts receivable, Bunge receives a portion of the proceeds up front and an additional amount upon the collection of the underlying receivables, which is expected to be generally between 12.5% and 18.5% of the aggregate amount of receivables sold through the Program.

Koninklijke Bunge B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bunge, acts as master servicer, responsible for servicing and collecting the accounts receivable for the Program. The Program terminates on May 26, 2021. The trade receivables sold under the program are subject to specified eligibility criteria, including eligible currencies, and country and obligor concentration limits.

Cash collections from customers on receivables previously sold $ 9,746  $ 8,434  $ 9,173 
Discounts related to gross receivables sold included in SG&A $ 10  $ 15  $ 14 

Non-cash activity for the program in the reporting period is represented by the difference between gross receivables sold and cash collections from customers on receivables previously sold.
Bunge's risk of loss following the sale of the trade receivables is limited to the deferred purchase price (the "DPP"), included in Other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6- Other Current Assets). The DPP will be repaid in cash as receivables are collected, generally within 30 days. Delinquencies and credit losses on trade receivables sold under the Program during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were insignificant.

5. INVENTORIES
Inventories by segment are presented below. Readily marketable inventories (“RMI”) are agricultural commodity inventories, such as soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, corn and wheat, carried at fair value because of their commodity characteristics, widely available markets, and international pricing mechanisms. The Company engages in trading and distribution, or merchandising activities, and part of RMI can be attributable to such activities and is not held for processing. All other inventories are carried at lower of cost or net realizable value.

(2)Bunge provides cash advances to suppliers, primarily Brazilian soybean farmers, to finance a portion of the suppliers' production costs. Bunge does not bear any of the costs or operational risks associated with growing the related crops. The advances are largely collateralized by future crops and physical assets of the suppliers, carry a local market interest rate, and settle when the farmer's crop is harvested and sold. The secured advances to farmers are reported net of allowances of $2 million and $1 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Interest earned on secured advances to suppliers of $31 million, $26 million, and $30 million, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is included in Net sales in the consolidated statements of income.

8. GOODWILL
Bunge generally performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter. If events or indicators of impairment occur between annual impairment analyses, the Company performs an impairment analysis at that date. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant asset. In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, the Company: (1) verifies there are no changes to its reporting units with goodwill balances; (2) allocates goodwill to its various reporting units to which the acquired goodwill relates; (3) determines the carrying value, or book value, of its reporting units; (4) estimates the fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model and/or using market multiples; (5) compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value; and (6) if the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for such amount, but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Critical estimates in the determination of fair value under the income approach include, but are not limited to, assumptions about variables such as commodity prices, crop and related throughput and production volumes, profitability, future capital expenditures and discount rates, all of which are subject to a high degree of judgment.

11. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
Bunge participates in various unconsolidated joint ventures and other investments accounted for using the equity method. The Company records its interest in the net earnings of its equity method investees, along with the amortization of basis differences, within Other income (expense) - net, in the consolidated statements of income. Basis differences represent differences between the cost of the investment and the underlying equity in net assets of the investment and are amortized over the lives of the related assets that gave rise to them. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate of all basis differences was a credit of $136 million and $136 million, respectively, primarily associated with BP Bunge Bioenergia.

(1)These non-current assets arise primarily from Bunge's Brazilian operations and their realization could take several years.
(2)As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, $12 million and $18 million, respectively, of long-term investments were recorded at fair value.
Recoverable taxes, net—Recoverable taxes are reported net of allowances of $17 million and $41 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Judicial deposits—Judicial deposits are funds that Bunge has placed on deposit with the courts in Brazil. These Brazilian funds are held in judicial escrow related to certain legal proceedings pending legal resolution and bear interest at the Selic rate, which is the benchmark rate of the Brazilian central bank.
Income taxes receivable—Income taxes receivable includes overpayments of current income taxes plus accrued interest. These income tax prepayments are expected to be utilized to settle future income tax obligations. Income taxes receivable in Brazil bear interest at the Selic rate.
Affiliate loans receivable—Affiliate loans receivable are primarily interest-bearing receivables from unconsolidated affiliates with a remaining maturity of more than one year.
Long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net—Bunge provides financing to farmers in Brazil, primarily through secured advances against farmer commitments to deliver agricultural commodities (primarily soybeans) upon harvest of the then-current year's crop and through credit sales of fertilizer to farmers. Certain such long-term receivables from farmers are originally recorded in Other current assets as prepaid commodity purchase contracts or secured advances to suppliers (see Note 6- Other Current Assets) and reclassified to Other non-current assets when collection issues with farmers arise and amounts become past due and resolution of matters is expected to take more than one year.
The average recorded investment in long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $132 million and $186 million, respectively.

(1)Fiscal incentives predominantly relate to investment incentives in Brazil that are exempt from Brazilian income tax.
The primary components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related valuation allowances are as follows:

Deferred income tax assets:

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ (21) $ 113 

As of December 31, 2020, Bunge has determined it has unremitted earnings that are considered to be indefinitely reinvested of approximately $700 million, and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. If these earnings were distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise, Bunge would be subject to income taxes in the form of withholding taxes to the recipient for an amount of approximately $50 million.

At December 31, 2020, Bunge's pre-tax loss carryforwards totaled $2,166 million, of which $1,778 million have no expiration, including loss carryforwards of $870 million in Brazil. While loss carryforwards in Brazil can be carried forward indefinitely, annual utilization is limited to 30% of taxable income calculated on an entity by entity basis as Brazil tax law does not allow consolidated tax filings. At December 31, 2019, Bunge’s pre-tax loss carryforwards totaled $2,011 million, of which $1,488 million had no expiration, including loss carryforwards of $713 million in Brazil. The increase in pre-tax loss carryforwards from 2019 to 2020 is primarily attributable to the Company’s generation of losses in certain jurisdictions during the year.
The remaining tax loss carryforwards expire at various periods beginning in 2021 through the year 2039.
Income Tax Valuation Allowances—Bunge records valuation allowances when current evidence does not suggest that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends primarily on Bunge's ability to generate sufficient timely future income of the appropriate character in the appropriate taxing jurisdiction.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Bunge has recorded valuation allowances of $316 million and $404 million, respectively. The net decrease of $88 million is primarily attributable to the release of valuation allowances during the year.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits—ASC Topic 740 requires applying a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition and de-recognition of tax benefits. Accordingly, Bunge recognizes the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent

likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, Bunge had recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $50 million and $51 million in Other non-current liabilities and $2 million and $2 million in Other current liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, Bunge recognized $2 million, $(11) million and $(4) million of interest and penalty charges in Income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, accrued interest and penalties of $13 million and $12 million were included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits follows:
(US$ in millions) 2020 2019 2018

Foreign currency translation 25  (5) (19)
Balance at December 31, $ 320  $ 311  $ 390 
Bunge believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $8 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized by the end of 2021 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations or resolution with the tax authorities.
Bunge, through its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the United States (federal and various states) and non-United States regions. The table below reflects the tax years for which Bunge is subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities in significant tax regions:
  Open Tax Years
North America 2013 - 2020
South America 2014 - 2020
Europe 2013 - 2020
Asia-Pacific 2006 - 2020

As of December 31, 2020, Bunge's Brazilian subsidiaries have received income tax and penalty assessments through 2016 of approximately 5,475 million Brazilian reais (approximately $1,054 million) plus applicable interest on the outstanding amount. Bunge has recorded unrecognized tax benefits related to these assessments of 12 million Brazilian reais (approximately $2 million) as of December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, Bunge’s Argentina subsidiary had received income tax and penalty assessments through 2009 of approximately 1,288 million Argentine pesos (approximately $15 million) plus applicable interest on the outstanding amount.
Management, in consultation with external legal advisors, believes that it is more likely than not that Bunge will prevail on the proposed assessments (with the exception of unrecognized tax benefits discussed above) in Brazil and Argentina and is vigorously defending its position against these assessments.
Bunge made cash income tax payments, net of refunds received, of $140 million, $123 million and $(1) million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, Bunge completed its analysis of the impact of the U.S. "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" (the "Tax Act") in conjunction with filing of its 2017 U.S. income tax return, assessment of additional documentation to determine the Transition Tax, and analysis of U.S. Treasury guidance on the Tax Act. As a result, Bunge recorded a tax benefit of $26 million, primarily related to the ability to utilize additional foreign tax credits to offset future repatriation of earnings to the United States.

(5)These payables are hybrid financial instruments for which the Company has elected the fair value option. There were $40 million and zero included in Liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(6)Unrealized losses on derivative contracts are generally included in Other current liabilities. There were $7 million and $1 million included in Other non-current liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were $2 million and zero included in Liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
    Readily marketable inventories—RMI reported at fair value are valued based on commodity futures exchange quotations, broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either listed or OTC markets with appropriate adjustments for differences in local markets where the Company's inventories are located. In such cases, the inventory is classified within Level 2. Certain inventories may utilize significant unobservable data related to local market adjustments to determine fair value. In such cases, the inventory is classified as Level 3.
    If the Company used different methods or factors to determine fair values, amounts reported as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and RMI at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income could differ. Additionally, if market conditions change subsequent to the reporting date, amounts reported in future periods as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and RMI at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income could differ.
    Derivatives—The majority of exchange traded futures and options contracts and exchange cleared contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. The majority of the Company’s exchange-traded agricultural commodity futures are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, are not included in these tables. The Company's forward commodity purchase and sale contracts are classified as derivatives along with other OTC derivative instruments relating primarily to freight, energy, foreign exchange and interest rates and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3, as described below. The Company estimates fair values based on exchange quoted prices, adjusted as appropriate for differences in local markets. These differences are generally valued using inputs from broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets. In such cases, these derivative contracts are classified within Level 2.
    OTC derivative contracts include swaps, options and structured transactions that are generally fair valued using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not highly active, other observable inputs relevant to the asset or liability, and market inputs corroborated by correlation or other means. These valuation models include inputs such as interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. Certain OTC derivatives trade in less active markets with less availability of pricing information and certain structured transactions can require internally developed model inputs that might not be observable in or corroborated by the market.
     Marketable securities and investments comprise government treasury securities, corporate debt securities and other investments. Bunge analyzes how the prices are derived and determines whether the prices are liquid or less liquid tradable prices. Marketable securities and investments with liquid prices are valued using prices from publicly available sources and classified as level 1. Marketable securities and investments with less-liquid prices are valued using third-party quotes and classified as level 2.
    Level 3 Measurements
    The following relates to Level 3 measurements. An instrument may transfer into or out of Level 3 due to inputs becoming either observable or unobservable.
    Level 3 Readily marketable inventories and other—The significant unobservable inputs resulting in Level 3 classification for RMI, physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts, and trade accounts payable relate to certain management estimations regarding costs of transportation and other local market or location-related adjustments, primarily freight related adjustments in the interior of Brazil and the lack of market corroborated information in Canada. In both situations, the Company uses proprietary information such as purchase and sale contracts and contracted prices to value freight, premiums and discounts in its contracts. Movements in the price of these unobservable inputs alone would not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as these contracts do not typically exceed one future crop cycle.
    Level 3 Derivatives—Level 3 derivative instruments utilize both market observable and unobservable inputs within the fair value measurements. These inputs include commodity prices, price volatility, interest rates, volumes and locations.

16. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
    The Company uses derivative instruments to manage several market risks, such as interest rate, foreign currency rate, and commodity risk. Some of the hedges the Company enters into qualify for hedge accounting ("Hedge Accounting Derivatives") and some, while intended as economic hedges, do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting ("Economic Hedge Derivatives"). As these derivatives impact the financial statements in different ways, they are discussed separately below.


F-34

Table of Contents
BUNGE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    Hedge Accounting Derivatives - The Company uses derivatives in qualifying hedge accounting relationships to manage certain of its interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity risks. In executing these hedge strategies, the Company primarily relies on the shortcut and critical terms match methods in designing its hedge accounting strategy, which results in little to no net earnings impact for these hedge relationships. The Company monitors these relationships on a quarterly basis and performs a quantitative analysis to validate the assertion that the hedges are highly effective if there are changes to the hedged item or hedging derivative.
    Fair value hedges - These derivatives are used to hedge the effect of interest rate and currency exchange rate changes on certain long-term debt. Under fair value hedge accounting, the derivative is measured at fair value and the carrying value of hedged debt is adjusted for the change in value related to the exposure being hedged, with both adjustments offset to earnings. In other words, the earnings effect of an increase in the fair value of the derivative will be substantially offset by the earnings effect of the increase in the carrying value of the hedged debt. The net impact of fair value hedge accounting for interest rate swaps is recognized in Interest expense. For cross currency swaps the changes in currency risk on the derivative are recognized in Foreign exchange gains (losses), and the changes in interest rate risk are recognized in Interest expense. Changes in basis risk are held in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized through the coupon.
    Cash flow hedges of currency risk - The Company manages currency risk on certain forecasted purchases, sales, and selling, general and administrative expenses with currency forwards. The change in the value of the forward is classified in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings, at which time the change in value of the currency forward is reclassified to Net sales, Cost of goods sold, or Selling, general and administrative expenses. These hedges mature at various times through December 2021. Of the amount currently in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $4 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months.
Cash flow hedges of commodity risk - The Company manages commodity price risk on certain forecasted purchases and sales with commodity futures. The change in the value of the future is classified in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings, at which time the change in value of the commodity future is reclassified to Net sales or Cost of goods sold. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no open cash flow hedges of commodity risk.
    Net investment hedges - The Company hedges the currency risk of certain of its foreign subsidiaries with currency forwards and intercompany loans for which the currency risk is remeasured through Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For currency forwards, the forward method is used. The change in the value of the forward is classified in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings by way of either sale or substantial liquidation of the foreign subsidiary.
    The table below provides information about the balance sheet values of hedged items and the notional amount of derivatives used in hedging strategies. The notional amount of the derivative is the number of units of the underlying (for example, the notional principal amount of the debt in an interest rate swap). The notional amount is used to compute interest or other payment streams to be made under the contract and is a measure of the Company’s level of activity. The Company discloses derivative notional amounts on a gross basis.

    Economic Hedge Derivatives - In addition to using derivatives in qualifying hedge relationships, the Company enters into derivatives to economically hedge its exposure to a variety of market risks it incurs in the normal course of operations.
    Interest rate derivatives are used to hedge exposures to the Company's financial instrument portfolios and debt issuances. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is primarily presented in Interest expense.
    Currency derivatives are used to hedge the balance sheet and commercial exposures that arise from the Company's global operations. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold when hedging commercial exposures and Foreign exchange gains (losses) when hedging monetary exposures.
    Agricultural commodity derivatives are used primarily to manage the Company's inventory and forward purchase and sales contracts. Contracts to purchase agricultural commodities generally relate to current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Contracts for the sale of agricultural commodities generally do not extend beyond one future crop cycle. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.
    The Company uses derivative instruments referred to as forward freight agreements ("FFA") and FFA options to hedge portions of its current and anticipated ocean freight costs. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.
    The Company uses energy derivative instruments to manage its exposure to volatility in energy costs. Hedges may be entered into for natural gas, electricity, coal and fuel oil, including bunker fuel. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.
    The Company may also enter into other derivatives, including credit default swaps and equity derivatives to manage exposure to credit risk and broader macroeconomic risks, respectively. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.

17. SHORT-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
Bunge's short-term borrowings are typically sourced from various banking institutions and the U.S. commercial paper market. Bunge also borrows from time to time in local currencies in various foreign jurisdictions. Interest expense includes facility commitment fees, amortization of deferred financing costs, and charges on certain lending transactions. The weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 5.49% and 13.83%, respectively.

(1)Includes $558 million and $348 million of local currency borrowings in certain Central and Eastern European, South American and Asia-Pacific countries at a local currency based weighted average interest rate of 24.54% and 27.16% as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Bunge's commercial paper program is supported by committed back-up bank credit lines (the ‘‘Liquidity Facility’’) equal to the amount of the commercial paper program provided by lending institutions that are required to be rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Services. The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of issuance under the Company's commercial paper program. At December 31, 2020, $549 million of borrowings were outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings were outstanding under the Liquidity Facility. The Liquidity Facility is the Company's only revolving credit facility that requires lenders to maintain minimum credit ratings.
On October 22, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured $1,250 million 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $1,000 million tranche (“Tranche A”) and a $250 million tranche (“Tranche B”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each lender under Tranche A is required to fund all borrowing requests delivered by Bunge unless such lender has delivered a declining lender notice to the administrative agent by 9:00am (New York City time) on the date such borrowing request is delivered. The lenders under Tranche B do not have the right to deliver a declining lender notice to Bunge. Bunge may also, from time to time, request one or more of the existing or new lenders to increase the total participations and commitments under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision. The Credit Agreement matures on October 21, 2021. At December 31, 2020, $250 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
On December 16, 2019, Bunge entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “Amendment and Restatement Agreement”) which amends and extends its unsecured $1.75 billion revolving credit facility entered into on December 12, 2017 (as amended by the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), adding a sustainability-linked mechanism to the facility. Through the sustainability-linked mechanism, the interest rate under the Revolving Credit Facility is tied to five sustainability performance targets that highlight and measure Bunge’s continued advancement of its sustainability initiatives across the following three areas: 1) reducing greenhouse gas emissions by improving industrial efficiency; 2) increasing traceability for main agricultural commodities; and 3) supporting increasing levels of adoption of sustainable practices across the wider soybean and palm supply chain. Bunge may from time to time, with the consent of the agent, request one or more of the existing lenders or new lenders to increase the total commitments in an amount not to exceed $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on December 12, 2022. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary from 0.30% to 1.30%, based on the senior long-term unsecured debt ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Services Inc. and S&P Global Ratings. Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of 35% of the margin specified above, which will vary based on the rating level at each such quarterly payment date. Bunge also will pay a fee that will vary from 0.10% to 0.40% based on its utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility. There were $554 million of borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020, under the Revolving Credit Facility.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
At December 31, 2020, Bunge had $4,072 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities with a number of lending institutions.
In addition to the committed facilities discussed above, from time to time, Bunge Limited and/or its financing subsidiaries enter into uncommitted bilateral short-term credit lines as necessary based on its financing requirements. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were $550 million and zero, respectively, borrowings outstanding under these bilateral short-term credit lines. Loans under such credit lines are non-callable by the respective lenders. In addition, Bunge's operating companies had $785 million in short-term borrowings outstanding from local bank lines of credit at December 31, 2020 to support working capital requirements.
Bunge has also entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts. Contingent liabilities on outstanding standby letter of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated to $1,226 million and $1,156 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Bunge's credit facilities require it to comply with specified financial covenants related to minimum net worth, minimum current ratio, a maximum debt to capitalization ratio, and limitations on secured indebtedness. Bunge was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2020.

On August 17, 2020, Bunge completed the sale and issuance of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 1.630% unsecured senior notes (“Notes”) due August 17, 2025. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bunge. The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231083) filed by the Company and its 100% owned finance subsidiary Bunge Limited Finance Corp. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year, commencing on February 17, 2021. At any time prior to July 17, 2025 (one month before maturity of the Notes), the Company may elect to redeem and repay the Notes, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $595 million after deducting underwriting commissions, the original issue discount and offering fees and expense payable by Bunge. Bunge used the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of certain short-term debt that included borrowings under the commercial paper program.
In November 2019, the $700 million credit facility maturing in May 2023 was converted into a term loan and then transferred to the joint venture, BP Bunge Bioenergia, on a non-recourse basis.
Certain property, plant and equipment, and investments in consolidated subsidiaries having a net carrying value of approximately $36 million at December 31, 2020 have been mortgaged or otherwise collateralized against long-term debt of $5 million at December 31, 2020.

Certain term loans of Bunge require it to comply with specified financial covenants related to minimum net worth, minimum current ratio, a maximum debt to capitalization ratio, and limitations on secured indebtedness. Bunge was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2020.
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, Bunge paid interest, net of interest capitalized, of $264 million, $327 million, and $306 million, respectively.

19. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Certain United States, Canadian, European, Asian and Brazilian-based subsidiaries of Bunge sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees of the subsidiaries. The plans provide benefits primarily based on participant salaries and lengths of service. The funding policies for Bunge's defined benefit pension plans are determined in accordance with statutory funding requirements. The most significant defined benefit plan is in the United States.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Certain United States and Brazilian-based subsidiaries of Bunge have benefit plans to provide postretirement healthcare benefits to eligible retired employees of those subsidiaries. The plans require minimum retiree contributions and define the maximum amount the subsidiaries will be obligated to pay under the plans. Bunge's policy is to fund these costs as they become payable.
Plan amendments and pension liability adjustments - In 2018, Bunge's Swiss defined benefit pension plan changed its local pension provider, resulting in a change to its conversion rate. This plan amendment resulted in a $13 million increase in benefit obligation for the year ended December 31, 2018.
On September 19, 2017, Bunge approved changes to certain U.S. defined benefit pension plans. These changes freeze the plans for future benefit accruals effective January 1, 2023, and these plans are closed for participation for employees hired on or after January 1, 2018.
Plan Settlements - On July 17, 2020 the Company approved a one-time lump sum offering to certain participants in Bunge's defined benefit U.S. Pension Plan who had separated from the Company as of December 31, 2019 and whose benefits in the plan had fully vested. The respective payments were completed during the fourth quarter of 2020. The payments, which were paid from plan assets as settlement of respective benefit obligations, resulted in an $88 million decrease in benefit obligations and the reclassification of an unamortized loss of $12 million from Other comprehensive income, which was recorded in Other income (expense) - net on the consolidated statement of income.
In addition the Company incurred a small settlement in respect of one of its international plans, resulting in the reclassification of an unamortized loss of $4 million from Other comprehensive income, which was also recorded in Other income (expense) - net on the consolidated statement of income.
On July 24, 2020 the Company made a one-time cash contribution payment to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans of $65 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. No additional contribution payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Plan Transfers In and Out - There were no significant transfers into or out of Bunge's employee benefit plans during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.
Cost of Benefit Plans - Service cost is recognized in a period determined as the actuarial present value of benefits attributed by the pension benefit formula to services rendered by employees during that period. Interest cost is the amount recognized in a period determined as the increase in the projected benefit obligation due to the passage of time. The expected return on plan assets is determined based on the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the market-related value of plan assets. Amortization of net (gain) loss represents the recognition in net periodic cost over several periods of amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss). Service cost is included in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, while the other components of net periodic benefit pension cost are presented separately in Other income (expense), net.
The components of net periodic benefit costs for defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans are as follows:

Assumptions used in Postretirement Benefits Calculations - At December 31, 2020, a 6.8% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits was assumed for 2020 postretirement benefit plan measurement purposes, decreasing to 6.6% by 2038, and remaining at that level thereafter. At December 31, 2019, a 7.2% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits was assumed for 2019 postretirement benefit plan measurement purposes, decreasing to 6.9% by 2038, and remaining at that level thereafter.
The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used in determining the benefit obligation under the defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans are as follows:

  2020 2019 2020 2019

Increase in future compensation levels 3.2  % 3.2  % 3.2  % N/A N/A N/A
The sponsoring subsidiaries select the expected long-term rate of return on assets in consultation with their investment advisors and actuaries. These rates are intended to reflect the average rates of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide required plan benefits. The plans are assumed to continue in effect as long as assets are expected to be invested.
In estimating the expected long-term rate of return on assets, appropriate consideration is given to historical performance for the major asset classes held, or anticipated to be held, by the applicable plan trusts and to current forecasts of future rates of return for those asset classes. Cash flows and expenses are taken into consideration to the extent that the expected returns would be affected by them. As assets are generally held in qualified trusts, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes.

Bunge has aggregated certain defined benefit pension plans for which the projected benefit obligations exceeds the fair value of related plan assets with pension plans for which the fair value of plan assets exceeds related projected benefit obligations. The following table provides aggregated information about pension plans with a projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets:
  Pension Benefits
December 31,
(US$ in millions) 2020 2019
Projected benefit obligation $ 641  $ 1,252 
Fair value of plan assets $ 405  $ 965 
    The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined pension benefit plans was $1,371 million and $1,304 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following table summarizes information related to aggregated defined benefit pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets:
  Pension Benefits
December 31,
(US$ in millions) 2020 2019
Projected benefit obligation $ 618  $ 1,252 
Accumulated benefit obligation $ 557  $ 1,171 
Fair value of plan assets $ 383  $ 964 

Pension Benefit Plan Assets—The objective of the plans' trust funds is to sufficiently diversify plan assets to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing returns.
For pension plans in the United States (the "US plans”), in 2020, Bunge hired an outside investment advisory firm to implement a liability-driven investment strategy intended to increase the interest rate and credit risk hedge ratios and increase duration of the pension plan assets to better match the pension benefit obligations. This strategy is intended to reduce the funded status volatility of the US plans. For the largest US plan, derivatives are used primarily to manage risk and hedge plan liabilities while still maintaining liquidity. As part of this strategy, the plan is required to hold cash collateral associated with certain derivatives. Target asset allocations are based on a glide path approach, which allocates more plan assets to immunizing assets, such as intermediate and long duration fixed income instruments and treasury strips, which are intended to match the duration and amount of the expected liabilities, and less to growth assets, such as public equities, non-core fixed income instruments and real assets, as the funded status of the plans improve. Target asset allocations are generally 70-80% to immunizing assets and 20-30% to growth assets. For pension plans outside of the United States, the plans’ trust funds utilize a target asset allocation of approximately 60% fixed income securities and approximately 40% equities.
Bunge implements its investment strategy through a combination of passive and actively managed mutual funds, collective trust funds, and collective investment trusts. The Company's policy is not to invest plan assets in Bunge Limited shares. Plan investments are stated at fair value or net asset value (NAV). For a further definition of fair value and the associated fair value levels, refer to Note 1- Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.

Employee Defined Contribution Plans—Bunge also makes contributions to qualified defined contribution plans for eligible employees. Contributions to these plans amounted to $16 million, $16 million, and $10 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    Bunge purchases agricultural commodity products from certain of its unconsolidated investees and other related parties. Such related party purchases comprised approximately 6% or less of total Cost of goods sold for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Bunge also sells agricultural commodity products to certain of its unconsolidated investees and other related parties. Such related party sales comprised approximately 2% or less of total Net sales for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.

    In addition, Bunge receives services from and provides services to its unconsolidated investees, including tolling, port handling, administrative support, and other services. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, such services were not material to the Company's consolidated results.

    At December 31, 2020 and 2019, receivables related to the above related party transactions comprised approximately 3% or less of total Trade accounts receivable. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, payables related to the above related party transactions comprised approximately 5% or less of total Trade accounts payable.

    Bunge believes all transaction values to be similar to those that would be conducted with third parties.

21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Bunge is party to claims and lawsuits, primarily non-income tax and labor claims in South America, arising in the normal course of business. Bunge is also involved from time to time in various contract, antitrust, environmental litigation and remediation and other litigation, claims, government investigations and legal proceedings. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates, and inherent uncertainties. Bunge records liabilities related to legal matters when the exposure item becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. Bunge management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Bunge’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the remote possibility that a liability arising from these matters could have a material adverse impact in the period the uncertainties are resolved should the liability substantially exceed the amount of provisions included in the consolidated balance sheets. Included in Other non-current liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are the following amounts related to these matters:
December 31,
(US$ in millions) 2020 2019
Non-income tax claims $ 20  $ 23 
Labor claims 54  50 
Civil and other claims 96  88 
Total $ 170  $ 161 

Brazil indirect taxes - non-income tax claims - These tax claims relate to claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries, primarily value-added tax claims (ICMS, ISS, IPI and PIS/COFINS). In August 2017, a law was published, authorizing the states to grant amnesty for tax debts arising from existing tax benefits granted without previous authorization and to maintain such existing benefits still in force for up to 15 years. In December 2017, a further law was published to regulate the existing law referenced above, which endorsed the past incentives granted by the Brazilian states. The states have validated their incentives in accordance with this legislation. As Bunge has not received any tax assessment from the states that granted these incentives or benefits related to their validity, no liability has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
On February 13, 2015, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court ruled in a leading case that certain state ICMS tax credits for staple foods (including soy oil, margarine, mayonnaise, and wheat flours) are unconstitutional. Bunge, like other companies in

the Brazilian food industry, is involved in several administrative and judicial disputes with Brazilian states regarding these tax credits. While the leading case does not involve Bunge, the leading case decision will set a precedent and should be applicable to Bunge and other companies. Based on management’s review of the ruling and its general application to Bunge’s pending cases, management recorded a liability in the fourth quarter of 2014. Since 2015, Bunge settled a portion of its outstanding liabilities in amnesty programs in certain Brazilian states. In October 2019, Bunge resolved outstanding liabilities in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul and paid most of this liability in 2019 and 2020. R$20 million (Brazilian real) (approximately $4 million) is still pending and is likely to be paid with judicial bonds (certificates of credits that companies or individuals have against the state) acquired in the market with a discount over the face value during 2021.

On October 8, 2020, the Company was notified that the Brazilian Federal Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the Company in a case against Brazilian tax authorities regarding the right to exclude the value of ICMS from the PIS/COFINS tax basis. The ruling will allow the Company the right to recover amounts unduly paid from August 2009 through December 2020. As a result of the favorable decision, Bunge recorded pre-tax recoveries of R$251 million (approximately $49 million) in the fourth quarter of 2020 for the recovery of taxes, recognized in Net sales, consistent with how the expense was originally incurred, in the consolidated statements of income. The recorded pre-tax recoveries amount excludes interest which will be recognized when related uncertainties around realization are resolved. Realization of these credits is expected to occur through credits applied to the Company's federal tax liability or through refund or reimbursement requests. Timing of these recoveries is dependent upon reimbursement of the amounts through precatory, a process for repayment through government issued certificates, or generation of federal tax liabilities eligible for offset.
As of December 31, 2020, the Brazilian federal and state authorities have concluded examinations of the ICMS and PIS/COFINS tax returns and have issued outstanding claims. The Company continues to evaluate the merits of each of these claims and will recognize them when loss is considered probable. The outstanding claims comprise the following:
December 31,
(US$ in millions) Years Examined 2020 2019
ICMS 1990 to Present $ 191  $ 221 
PIS/COFINS 2004 through 2016 $ 208  $ 268 

Argentina Export Tax Since 2010, the Argentine tax authorities have been conducting a review of income and other taxes paid by exporters and processors of cereals and other agricultural commodities in the country. In that regard, Bunge has been subject to a number of assessments, proceedings and claims related to its activities. During 2011, Bunge’s subsidiary in Argentina paid $112 million of accrued export tax obligations under protest and challenged the claim. In 2020, the Argentine Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bunge in the first case of these interest charges declaring that they shall be declared extinguished. However, this tax claim is divided into a number of individual controversies that are pending at the Supreme Court, the Federal Court of Appeals or the Tax Court.
Labor claims — The labor claims are principally claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The labor claims primarily relate to dismissals, severance, health and safety, salary adjustments and supplementary retirement benefits.
Civil and other claims — The civil and other claims relate to various disputes with third parties, including suppliers and customers.
During the first quarter of 2017, Bunge received a notice from the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("CADE") initiating an administrative proceeding against its Brazilian subsidiary and two of its employees, certain of its former employees, several other companies in the Brazilian wheat milling industry, and others for alleged anticompetitive activities in the north and northeast of Brazil. This proceeding was put on hold due to a court injunction obtained by one of the defendants in a case related to the application of the statute of limitations. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2018, Bunge received a notification from CADE that it has extended the scope of an existing administrative proceeding relating to alleged anticompetitive practices in the Rio Grande port in Brazil to include certain of Bunge's Brazilian subsidiaries and certain former employees of those subsidiaries. Bunge is defending against these administrative proceedings and, in case it is unsuccessful, the proceedings can be further litigated in the judicial courts. Therefore, Bunge cannot at this time reasonably predict the ultimate outcome in the judicial courts of the cases or sanctions, if any, that may be imposed.

(1)Bunge has issued guarantees to certain financial institutions related to debt of certain of its unconsolidated affiliates. The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financings, which have maturity dates through 2034. There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees. In addition, certain Bunge subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of certain of their affiliates and in connection therewith have secured their guarantee obligations through a pledge of certain of their affiliates' shares plus loans receivable from the affiliates to the financial institutions in the event that the guaranteed obligations are enforced. Based on the amounts drawn under such debt facilities at December 31, 2020, Bunge's potential liability was $245 million, and it has recorded a $12 million obligation related to these guarantees.
(2)Bunge has issued guarantees to certain financial institutions which are party to certain operating lease arrangements for railcars and barges. These guarantees provide for a minimum residual value to be received by the lessor at the conclusion of the lease term. These leases expire at various dates from 2021 through 2026. At December 31, 2020, no obligation has been recorded related to these guarantees. Any obligation recorded would be recognized in Current operating lease obligations or Non-current operating lease obligations.
Bunge Limited has provided a guarantee to the Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture as Trustee for Bunge North America, Inc. ("BNA"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, which guarantees all amounts due and owing by BNA, to grain producers and/or depositors in the State of Illinois who have delivered commodities to BNA's Illinois facilities.
In addition, Bunge Limited has provided full and unconditional parent level guarantees of the outstanding indebtedness under certain credit facilities entered into, and senior notes issued by its 100% owned subsidiaries. At December 31, 2020, Bunge's consolidated balance sheet includes debt with a carrying amount of $6,760 million related to these guarantees. This debt includes the senior notes issued by two of Bunge's 100% owned finance subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. There are largely no restrictions on the ability of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. or any other Bunge subsidiary to transfer funds to Bunge Limited.

23. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
    In connection with the acquisition of a 70% ownership interest in Loders, the Company has entered into a put/call arrangement with the Loders' minority shareholder and may be required or elect to purchase the additional 30% ownership interest in Loders within a specified time frame.
    The Company classifies these redeemable equity securities outside of permanent stockholders’ equity as the equity securities are redeemable at the option of the holder. The carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests is the greater of: (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income or loss, equity capital contributions and distributions or (ii) the redemption value. Any resulting increases in the redemption amount, in excess of the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income or loss, equity capital contributions and distributions, are affected via a charge against Retained earnings. Additionally, any such charges to Retained earnings will affect Net income (loss) available to Bunge common shareholders as part of Bunge's calculation of earnings per common share.

24. EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program—In May 2015, Bunge established a program for the repurchase of up to $500 million of Bunge's issued and outstanding common shares. The program has no expiration date. Bunge repurchased 2,546,000 common shares during the year ended December 31, 2020 for $100 million. Total repurchases under the program from its inception in May 2015 through December 31, 2020 were 7,253,440 shares for $400 million.
Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preference Shares—Bunge has 6,899,683, 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares ("convertible preference shares"), par value $0.01 outstanding at December 31, 2020. Each convertible preference share has an initial liquidation preference of $100 per share plus accumulated unpaid dividends up to a maximum of an additional $25 per share. As a result of adjustments made to the initial conversion price because cash dividends paid on Bunge Limited's common shares exceeded certain specified thresholds, each convertible preference share is convertible at any time at the holder's option into approximately 1.2585 common shares based on a conversion price of $79.4592 per convertible preference share, subject in each case to certain specified anti-dilution adjustments (which represents 8,683,251 Bunge Limited common shares at December 31, 2020).
If the closing market price of Bunge's common shares equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the convertible preference shares for 20 trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days (including the last trading day of such period), Bunge may elect to cause all outstanding convertible preference shares to be automatically converted into the number of common shares that are issuable at the conversion price. The convertible preference shares are not redeemable by Bunge at any time.
The convertible preference shares accrue dividends at an annual rate of 4.875%. Dividends are cumulative from the date of issuance and are payable, quarterly in arrears, on each March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1, when, and if declared by Bunge's Board of Directors. The dividends may be paid in cash, common shares, or a combination thereof. Accumulated unpaid dividends on the convertible preference shares do not bear interest. In each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, Bunge recorded $34 million of dividends, paid in cash, on its convertible preference shares.

(1)Bunge has significant operating subsidiaries in Brazil, Argentina, North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The functional currency of Bunge's subsidiaries is generally the local currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars from the local currency at month-end exchange rates, and the resulting foreign currency translation gains (losses) are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the second quarter of 2018, it was determined that Argentina's economy should be considered highly inflationary, and as such, beginning on July 1, 2018, Bunge's Argentine subsidiaries changed their functional currency from the Argentine peso to the U.S. Dollar. This change in functional currency did not have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements.

BUNGE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, Bunge granted equity awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 EIP"), a shareholder approved plan. Under the 2016 EIP, the Compensation Committee of Bunge's Board of Directors may grant equity based awards to officers, employees, consultants and independent contractors in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (performance based or time-vested) or other equity based awards. Shares issued under the 2016 EIP may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner, or a combination thereof.
Stock Option Awards—Options to purchase Bunge Limited common shares are granted with an exercise price equal to the grant date fair market value of Bunge common stock, vest over service periods that generally range from one to three years, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Vesting may be accelerated in certain circumstances as provided in the plans or associated award agreements. Grant date fair value is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis for option grants.
Restricted Stock Units—Restricted stock units ("RSUs") give recipients the right to receive shares of Bunge common stock upon the lapse of related restrictions determined by the Compensation Committee. Restrictions on RSUs may be based on continued service by the recipient through the designated term and/or based on the achievement of certain performance targets. These targets may be financial or market-based, and the number of units actually earned varies based on the level of achievement of predefined goals. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for restricted stock units. RSUs generally vest over periods ranging from one to three years. Vesting may be accelerated under certain circumstances as defined in the plans or associated award agreements. RSUs are generally settled in shares of Bunge common stock upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting terms. Where share settlement may be prohibited under local law, RSUs are settled in cash. At the time of settlement, a participant holding a vested restricted stock unit will also be entitled to receive corresponding accrued dividend equivalent share payments.
Bunge also established the Bunge Limited 2017 Non-Employee Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 NED Plan"), a shareholder approved plan. Under the 2017 NED Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant equity based awards to non-employee directors of Bunge Limited. Awards may consist of restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred restricted stock units and non-statutory stock options.
Restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided the director continues to serve on the Board until such date, and are settled in shares of Bunge Limited common stock. At the time of settlement, a participant holding a vested restricted stock unit is also entitled to receive corresponding accrued dividend equivalent share payments.
The fair value of each stock option granted under any of Bunge's equity incentive plans is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Assumptions for the prior three years are noted in the following table. The expected volatility of Bunge's common shares is a weighted average of historical volatility calculated using the daily closing price of Bunge's shares up to the grant date and implied volatilities on open option contracts on Bunge's stock as of the grant date. Bunge uses historical employee exercise behavior for valuation purposes. The expected option term of granted options represents the period of time that the granted options are expected to be outstanding based on historical experience and giving consideration for the contractual terms, vesting periods and expectations of future employee behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a term equal to the expected option term of the respective grants and grant dates.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, no performance-based restricted stock units vested. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Bunge canceled approximately 217,895 shares related to performance-based restricted stock unit awards that did not vest due to non-achievement of performance targets.
The fair value of RSU awards is determined based on the market value of the Company's shares on the grant date. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $43.54, $53.01 and $75.06, respectively.
At December 31, 2020, there was approximately $59 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units granted under the equity incentive plans, which is expected to be recognized over the next two years. The total fair value of restricted stock units vested during the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $30 million.
Common Shares Reserved for Share-Based Awards—The 2017 NED Plan and the 2016 EIP provide that 120,000 and 10,900,000 common shares, respectively, are to be reserved for grants of stock options, restricted stock units and other awards under the plans. During 2020, Bunge shareholders approved an increase to the 2016 EIP of 5,100,000 common shares. At December 31, 2020, 12,832 and 5,399,344 common shares were available for future grants under the 2017 NED Plan and the 2016 EIP, respectively. No shares are currently available for grant under any other Bunge Limited equity incentive plan.

27. LEASES
    The Company routinely leases storage facilities, transportation equipment, land, and office facilities which are typically classified as operating leases. The accounting for some of the Company's leases may require significant judgment when determining whether a contract is or contains a lease, the lease term, and the likelihood of renewal or termination options. Leases with an initial term of more than 12 months are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets (Operating lease assets) and lease liabilities for the obligation to make payments under such leases (Current operating lease obligations and Non-current operating lease obligations). As of the lease commencement date, the lease liability is initially measured as the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The lease asset is initially measured equal to the lease liability and adjusted for lease payments made at or before lease commencement (e.g., prepaid rent), lease incentives, and any initial direct costs. Over time, the lease liability is reduced for lease payments made and the lease asset is reduced through expense, classified as either Cost of goods sold or Selling, general and administrative expense depending upon the nature of the lease. Lease assets are subject to review for impairment in a manner consistent with Property, plant and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
    The Company’s leases range in length of term, with an average remaining lease term of 5.1 years, but with one water rights lease for up to 91 years. Renewal options are generally exercisable solely at the Company’s discretion. When a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised, such additional terms are considered when calculating the associated operating lease asset and liability. When determining the lease liability at commencement of the lease, the present value of lease payments is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate determined using a portfolio approach and the Company’s incremental cost of debt, adjusted to arrive at the rate in the applicable country and for the applicable term of the lease, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable. As of December 31, 2020, such weighted average discount rate was 4.1%.
    Certain of the Company’s freight supply agreements for ocean freight vessels and rail cars may include rental payments that are variable in nature. Variable payments on time charter agreements for ocean freight vessels under freight supply agreements are dependent on then current market daily hire rates. Variable payments for certain rail cars can be based on volumes, and in some cases, benchmark interest rates. All such variable payments are not included in the calculation of the associated operating lease asset or liability subsequent to the inception date of the associated lease and are recorded as expense in the period in which the adjustment to the variable payment obligation is incurred. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements related to railcars and barges contain residual value guarantees (see Note 21- Commitments and Contingencies). None of the Company’s lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants.
    The components of lease expense were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
(US$ in millions) 2020 2019
Operating lease cost $ 279  $ 322 
Short-term lease cost 637  703 
Variable lease cost 10  20 
Sublease income (82) (125)
Total lease cost $ 844  $ 920 

    Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:
Year Ended December 31,

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:
       Operating lease liability principal payments $ 279  $ 320

    (1) Minimum lease payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease income receipts of $23 million due in future periods under non-cancelable subleases as of December 31, 2020. Non-cancelable subleases primarily relate to agreements with third parties for the use of portions of certain facilities with remaining sublease terms of approximately five years, as well as an agreement in which the Company subleases rail cars with remaining sublease terms of approximately two years. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may enter into re-let agreements to sell the right to use ocean freight vessels under time charter agreements when excess capacity is available.

    The Company is expected to have an additional operating lease of $33 million for the Bunge Loders Croklaan Rotterdam facility, which Bunge will lease from Neste in a phased transition through 2024, as discussed further in Note 2- Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives. This operating lease is expected to commence in 2021 upon closing of the sale, with a lease term of four years.

28. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operations are organized, managed and classified into five reportable segments - Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, Sugar and Bioenergy, and Fertilizer, based upon similar economic characteristics, products and services offered, production processes, types and classes of customer, and distribution methods.
The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Corporate and Other. See Note 1- Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.
The Agribusiness segment is characterized by both inputs and outputs being agricultural commodities and thus high volume and low margin. The Edible Oil Products segment involves the processing, production and marketing of products derived from vegetable oils. The Milling Products segment involves the processing, production and marketing of products derived primarily from wheat and corn. The Sugar & Bioenergy segment primarily comprises the net earnings from the Company’s 50% interest in BP Bunge Bioenergia, a joint venture formed in December 2019 through the combination of the Company’s Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, together with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP p.l.c. (“BP”). Prior to December 2019, the Company’s Sugar and Bioenergy results reflect its 100% ownership interest in the Brazilian sugarcane growing and milling, and sugarcane-based ethanol production activities contributed to the joint venture. The activities of the Fertilizer segment include port operations in Brazil and Argentina, and blending and retail operations in Argentina.
Corporate and Other includes salaries and overhead for corporate functions that are not allocated to the Company’s individual reporting segments because the operating performance of such reporting segments is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker exclusive of these items, as well as certain other activities including Bunge Ventures, the Company's captive insurance, and securitization activities.
Transfers between the segments are generally valued at market. The segment revenues generated from these transfers are shown in the following table as “Inter-segment revenues.”

(2)2020 EBIT includes a $98 million gain in the Edible Oils segment in Brazil, on the sale of on the sale of certain margarine and mayonnaise assets, which is recorded in Other income (expense)-net.
(3)2019 EBIT includes a $55 million loss in the Sugar & Bioenergy segment, $49 million in Brazil and $6 million in North America, due to the dispositions of certain subsidiaries and equity investments, which are recorded in Other income (expense)-net. Additionally, 2019 EBIT includes a $19 million gain in the Milling Products segment in Brazil, on the sale of certain wheat milling assets, which is recorded in Other income (expense)-net. Bunge recorded pre-tax, impairment charges of $1,825 million, of which $37 million, $1,678 million and $110 million are in Selling, general and administrative expenses, Cost of goods sold and Other income (expense)—net, respectively. Of these pre-tax impairment charges, $1,535 million was allocated to Sugar and Bioenergy, $154 million to Edible Oil Products, $105 million to Agribusiness, $29 million to Milling Products, and $2 million to Corporate - Other.
(4)2018 EBIT includes a $16 million loss in the Sugar & Bioenergy segment and a $10 million loss in the Agribusiness segment, due to the dispositions of certain equity investments, which are recorded in Other income (expense)-net.

Of these pre-tax impairment charges, $12 million was allocated to Agribusiness, $5 million to Sugar and Bioenergy and $1 million to Edible Oil Products.
Total segment earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") is an operating performance measure used by Bunge's management to evaluate segment operating activities. Bunge's management believes total segment EBIT is a useful measure of operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge's industries.

Exhibit 4.5

DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
 
The following description sets forth certain material terms and provisions of our securities that are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This description also summarizes certain provisions of our memorandum of association, our bye-laws and applicable provisions of Bermuda law. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the applicable provisions of our memorandum of association, our bye-laws and applicable provisions of Bermuda law. Copies of the our memorandum of association and bye-laws are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, of which this Exhibit is a part. We encourage you to read our memorandum of association, our bye-laws and applicable provisions of Bermuda law for additional information.
 
Share Capital
 
Our authorized share capital consists of 400,000,000 common shares, par value $0.01 per share and 21,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.01 per share.  As of February 12, 2021, 140,162,994 common shares and 6,899,683 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares were issued and outstanding.  All of our issued and outstanding shares are fully paid.

Common Shares
 
Holders of common shares have no pre-emptive, redemption, conversion or sinking fund rights.  Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common shares.  Unless a different majority is required by law or by our bye-laws, resolutions to be approved by holders of common shares require approval by a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Our common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BG.”

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common shares are entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all of our debts and liabilities, subject to any liquidation preference on any issued and outstanding preference shares.
 
Preference Shares
 
Pursuant to Bermuda law and our bye-laws, our board of directors by resolution may establish one or more series of preference shares having such number of shares, designations, dividend rates, relative voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, redemption rights, liquidation rights and other relative participation, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as may be fixed by the board without any further shareholder approval.  Such rights, preferences, powers and limitations as may be established could have the effect of discouraging an attempt to obtain control of us.
 
Our board of directors designated 6,900,000 preference shares as 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares, par value $0.01 per share, 317 of which have subsequently been converted as of February 12, 2021. The terms of our issued and outstanding 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual



preference shares are described in the certificate of designation filed on November 20, 2006 as Exhibit 4.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
If we decide to issue further preference shares, our board of directors will determine the financial and other specific terms of the series under a certificate of designation.  Without limitation, the preference shares may be convertible into, or exchangeable for, common shares or shares of any other class or series of shares, if our board of directors so determines.
 
Dividends.  Holders of a series of preference shares will be entitled to receive dividends only when, as and if declared by our board of directors from funds available for payment of dividends under Bermuda law.  The rates and dates of payment of dividends, if any, will be set forth in the applicable certificate of designation relating to each series of preference shares.  Dividends will be payable to holders of record of preference shares as they appear in our register of members on the record dates fixed by the board of directors.  Dividends on any series of preference shares may be cumulative or noncumulative.  Under Bermuda law, we may not declare or pay a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that we are, or would after the payment be, unable to pay our liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of our assets would thereby be less than our liabilities. 

Voting Rights; Transfer Restrictions.  The holders of a series of preference shares will have voting rights as set out in the applicable certificate of designation, and any such voting rights will be subject to limitations on voting rights as set out in the applicable certificate of designation.  In addition, any transfer restrictions applicable to a series of preference shares will also be described in the applicable offering document.
 
Liquidation Preferences.  In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of each series of our preference shares will have the rights as set out in the applicable certificate of designation to receive distributions upon liquidation in the amount specified, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends.  These distributions will be made before any distribution is made on our common shares or on any other securities ranking junior to the preference shares upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.
 
Redemption.  If so specified in the applicable certificate of designation, a series of preference shares may be redeemable at any time, in whole or in part, at our option or the holder’s option and may be mandatorily redeemed.  Any restriction on the repurchase or redemption by us of our preference shares while we are in arrears in the payment of dividends will also be described in the applicable offering document.
 
Following redemption, dividends, if applicable, will cease to accrue on preference shares redeemed and all rights of holders of these shares will terminate except for the right to receive the redemption price.
 
Conversion or Exchange Rights.  The certificate of designation relating to any series of preference shares that is convertible, exercisable or exchangeable will state the terms on which shares of that Series are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common shares, another series of our preference shares or any other securities registered pursuant to a registration statement, or for securities of any third party.

General Provisions Applicable to Our Share Capital
 
Dividend Rights.  Under Bermuda law, a company’s board of directors may not declare or pay dividends if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or that the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than its liabilities.  Under our bye-laws, each common share is entitled to dividends if, as and when dividends are declared by our board of directors, subject to any preference dividend right of the holders of any preference shares.  There are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in or out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of our common shares or preference shares.
 
Variation of Rights.  If at any time we have more than one class of shares, the rights attaching to any class, unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of the relevant class, may be varied either:  (1) with the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the issued shares of that class; or (2) with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of the relevant class of shareholders at which a quorum shall be two or more persons holding or representing by proxy one-third of the issued shares of the class.  Our bye-laws specify that the creation or issue of shares ranking equally with existing shares will not, unless expressly provided by the terms of issue of existing shares, vary the rights attached to existing shares.  In addition, the creation or issue of preference shares ranking senior to common shares will not be deemed to vary the rights attached to common shares.
 
Transfer of Shares.  Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion and without assigning any reason, refuse to register the transfer of a share that is not fully paid.  Our board of directors may also refuse to recognize an instrument of transfer of a share unless it is accompanied by the relevant share certificate and such other evidence of the transferor’s right to make the transfer as our board of directors shall reasonably require.  Subject to these restrictions, a holder of common shares or preference shares may transfer the title to all or any of his common shares or his preference shares by completing a form of transfer in the form set out in our bye-laws (or as near thereto as circumstances admit) or in such other form as the board may accept.  The instrument of transfer must be signed by the transferor and transferee, although, in the case of a fully paid share, our board of directors may accept the instrument signed only by the transferor.  The board may also accept mechanically executed transfers.  Share transfers may also be effected through our transfer agent and may be made electronically.

Meetings of Shareholders.  Under Bermuda law, a company is required to convene at least one general meeting of shareholders each calendar year, unless the company in general meeting has elected to dispense with the holding of annual general meetings.  Bermuda law provides that a special general meeting of shareholders may be called by the board of directors of a company and must be called upon the request of shareholders holding not less than 10% of the paid-up capital of the company carrying the right to vote at general meetings of the company.  Our bye-laws provide that either the chairman or our board of directors may convene an annual general meeting or a special general meeting.  Bermuda law also requires that shareholders be given at least five days’ advance notice of a general meeting; however, our bye-laws provide that the accidental omission to give notice to any person does not invalidate the proceedings at a meeting.  Under our bye-laws, at least twenty-one days’ notice of an annual general meeting or a special general meeting must be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting.  This notice requirement is subject to the ability to hold such meetings on shorter notice if such notice is agreed:  (i) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting; or (ii) in the case of a special general meeting, by a majority in number of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares entitled to attend and vote at such meeting.  The quorum required for a general meeting of
Americas/2017845547.2    3


shareholders is two or more persons present in person at the start of the meeting and representing in person or by proxy in excess of 50% of the paid-up share capital carrying the right to vote.
 
Any shareholder who wishes to propose business that may properly be moved by a shareholder at a general meeting (other than nomination of persons for election as directors) must give notice to us in writing in accordance with our bye-laws.  The notice must be given not later than 120 days before the first anniversary of the date on which our proxy statement was distributed to shareholders in connection with our prior year’s annual general meeting.  If we did not hold an annual general meeting in the prior year or if the date of the annual general meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated in the prior year’s proxy statement, the notice must be given before the later of 150 days prior to the contemplated date of the annual general meeting and the date which is ten days after the date of the first public announcement or other notification of the actual date of the annual general meeting.  In the case of business to be proposed at a special general meeting, such notice must be given before the later of 120 days before the date of the special general meeting and the date which is ten days after the date of the first public announcement or other notification of the date of the special general meeting.  The notice must include the matters set out in our bye-laws.  In addition, shareholders representing at least 5% of our total voting rights or at least 100 shareholders may require us, at their expense, to give notice of a resolution they propose to properly move at our next annual general meeting by complying with the relevant requirements set forth in the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the “Companies Act”).
 
Access to Books and Records and Dissemination of Information.  Members of the general public have the right to inspect the public documents of a company available at the office of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.  These documents include the company’s memorandum of association, including its objects and powers, and certain alterations to its memorandum of association.  The shareholders have the additional right to inspect the bye-laws of the company, minutes of general meetings and the company’s audited financial statements, which must be laid before each annual general meeting.  The register of shareholders of a company is also open to inspection by shareholders and by members of the general public without charge.  The register of shareholders is required to be open for inspection for not less than two hours in any business day (subject to the ability of a company to close the register of shareholders for not more than thirty days in a year).  A company is required to maintain its share register in Bermuda but may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, establish a branch register outside Bermuda.  A company is required to keep at its registered office a register of directors and officers that is open for inspection by members of the public without charge for not less than two hours in any business day.  Members of the general public also have the right to inspect a list of the directors of a company at the office of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.  Bermuda law does not, however, provide a general right for shareholders to inspect or obtain copies of any other corporate records.
 
Election and Removal of Directors.  Our bye-laws provide that our board may consist of between seven and 15 directors, the actual number to be determined by the board from time to time.  Our board of directors currently consists of ten directors.  Pursuant to our bye-laws, no more than two of our directors may be employed by us or by any other entity in our group.  There is no requirement in our bye-laws or Bermuda law that our directors must retire at a certain age.  However, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that no director having attained the age of 72 shall be nominated for re-election or re-appointment to our board.

Only persons who are nominated in accordance with our bye-laws are eligible for election as directors.  Any shareholder who wishes to nominate a person for election as a director must give notice to us in writing in accordance with our bye-laws.  The notice must be given not later than 120 days before the first anniversary of the date on which our proxy statement was distributed to shareholders in
Americas/2017845547.2    4


connection with our prior year’s annual general meeting.  If we did not hold an annual general meeting in the prior year or if the date of the annual general meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated in the prior year’s proxy statement, the notice must be given before the later of 150 days prior to the contemplated date of the annual general meeting and the date which is ten days after the date of the first public announcement or other notification of the actual date of the annual general meeting.  In the case of any notice of a nomination of a person by a shareholder for election as a director at a special general meeting, such notice must be given before the later of 120 days before the date of the special general meeting and the date which is ten days after the date of the first public announcement or other notification of the date of the special general meeting.  The notice must include the information set out in our bye-laws and, in addition, we may require any nominee to furnish such other information as we may reasonably require, to determine the eligibility of such nominee to serve as a director.
 
A director may be removed for cause by a majority of shareholder votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, provided notice is given to the director of the shareholders’ meeting convened to remove the director.  A director may be removed without cause upon the affirmative vote of at least 66% of all votes attaching to all shares then in issue entitling the holder to attend and vote on the resolution, provided notice is given to the director of the shareholders’ meeting convened to remove the director.  The notice must contain a statement of the intention to remove the director and, if the removal is for cause, a summary of the facts justifying the removal and must be served on the director not less than fourteen days before the meeting.  The director is entitled to attend the meeting and be heard on the motion for his removal.
 
Our board of directors can fill any vacancy occurring as a result of the removal, resignation, insolvency, death or incapacity of a director.  Our board of directors also can appoint persons to fill any newly created directorships, provided that such appointment requires the affirmative vote of not less than 66% of the directors then in office.
 
Proceedings of Board of Directors.  Our bye-laws provide that our business is to be managed and conducted by our board of directors.  There is no requirement in our bye-laws or Bermuda law that directors hold any of our shares.
 
The remuneration of our directors is determined by our board of directors.  Our directors may also be paid all travel, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with our business or their duties as directors.
 
Provided a director discloses a direct or indirect interest in any contract or arrangement with us as required by Bermuda law, such director is entitled to vote in respect of any such contract or arrangement in which he or she is interested, unless he or she is disqualified from voting by the chairman of the relevant board meeting.  Under Bermuda law, a director (including the spouse or children of the director or any company of which such director, spouse or children own or control more than 20% of the capital or loan debt) cannot borrow from us (except loans made to directors who are bona fide employees or former employees pursuant to an employees’ share scheme), unless shareholders holding 90% of the total voting rights have consented to the loan.
 
Waiver of Claims by Shareholders; Indemnification of Directors and Officers.  Our bye-laws contain a provision by virtue of which our shareholders waive any claim or right of action that they have, both individually and on our behalf, against any director or officer in relation to any action or failure to take action by such director or officer, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of such director or officer.  We have been advised by the SEC that, in the opinion of the SEC, the operation of this provision
Americas/2017845547.2    5


as a waiver of the right to sue for violations of federal securities laws would likely be unenforceable in U.S. courts.  Our bye-laws also indemnify our directors and officers and any person appointed to a committee by our board of directors in respect of their actions and omissions in relation to any of the affairs of Bunge Limited, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty.
 
Merger, Amalgamations and Business Combinations.  The merger or amalgamation of a Bermuda company with another company or corporation (other than certain affiliated companies) requires the merger or amalgamation agreement to be approved by the company’s board of directors and by its shareholders.  Such shareholder approval, unless the bye-laws otherwise provide, requires 75% of the shareholders voting at such meeting in respect of which the quorum shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy more than one-third of the issued shares of the company. 

Our bye-laws provide that a merger or amalgamation (other than with certain affiliated companies) that has been approved by our board must only be approved by a majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of our shareholders at which the quorum shall be two or more persons representing in person or by proxy more than one-half of the paid-up share capital carrying the right to vote.  Any merger, amalgamation or other business combination (as defined in our bye-laws) not approved by our board must be approved by the holders of not less than 66% of all votes attaching to all shares then in issue entitling the holder to attend and vote on the resolution.
 
Amendment of Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws.  Bermuda law provides that the memorandum of association of a company may be amended by a resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders of which due notice has been given.  Our bye-laws provide that no bye-law shall be rescinded, altered or amended, and no new bye-law shall be made, unless it shall have been approved by a resolution of our board of directors and by a resolution of the shareholders.  In the case of the bye-laws relating to number and tenure of directors, approval of business combinations and amendment of bye-law provisions, the required resolutions must include the affirmative vote of at least 66% of our directors then in office and of at least 66% percent of all votes attaching to all shares then in issue entitling the holder to attend and vote on the resolution, and, in the case of the bye-law relating to the removal of directors, the requisite affirmative votes are a simple majority of the directors then in office and at least 66% of all votes attaching to all shares then in issue entitling the holder to attend and vote on the resolution, and, in the case of the bye-laws relating to the issuance of shares or other securities or instruments, the requisite affirmative votes are a simple majority of the directors then in office and at least 66% of the votes cast on the resolution.
 
Under Bermuda law, the holders of an aggregate of not less than 20% in par value of the company’s issued share capital or any class thereof have the right to apply to the Supreme Court of Bermuda for an annulment of any amendment of the memorandum of association adopted by shareholders at any general meeting, other than an amendment which alters or reduces a company’s share capital as provided in the Companies Act.  Where such an application is made, the amendment becomes effective only to the extent that it is confirmed by the Bermuda court.  An application for an annulment of an amendment of the memorandum of association must be made within twenty-one days after the date on which the resolution altering the company’s memorandum of association is passed and may be made on behalf of persons entitled to make the application by one or more of their number as they may appoint in writing for the purpose.  No application may be made by shareholders that voted in favor of the amendment.
 
Appraisal Rights and Shareholder Suits.  Under Bermuda law, in the event of an amalgamation or merger of a Bermuda company with another company or corporation, a shareholder of the Bermuda
Americas/2017845547.2    6


company who did not vote in favor of the amalgamation or merger and who is not satisfied that fair value has been offered for such shareholder’s shares may apply to a Bermuda court within one month of notice of the shareholders meeting to appraise the fair value of those shares.
 
Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Bermuda law.  The Bermuda courts, however, would ordinarily be expected to permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a company to remedy a wrong to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or is illegal or would result in the violation of the company’s memorandum of association or bye-laws.  Furthermore, consideration would be given by a Bermuda court to acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority shareholders or, for instance, where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of the company’s shareholders than that which actually approved it.
 
When the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner which is oppressive or prejudicial to the interests of some part of the shareholders, one or more shareholders may apply to the Supreme Court of Bermuda, which may make such order as it sees fit, including an order regulating the conduct of the company’s affairs in the future or ordering the purchase of the shares of any shareholders by other shareholders or by the company.
 
Capitalization of Profits and Reserves.  Pursuant to our bye-laws, our board of directors may (i) capitalize any part of the amount of our share premium or other reserve accounts or any amount credited to our profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro rata (except in connection with the conversion of shares) to the shareholders; or (ii) capitalize any sum credited to a reserve account or sums otherwise available for dividend or distribution by paying up in full partly paid shares of those shareholders who would have been entitled to such sums if they were distributed by way of dividend or distribution.

Registrar or Transfer Agent.  A register of holders of the common shares, the 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares, and of any other preference shares we may issue will be maintained by Conyers Corporate Services (Bermuda) Limited in Bermuda, and a branch register is maintained in the United States by Computershare Inc., which does and will serve as branch registrar and transfer agent for the common shares, the 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares and any other preference shares we may issue.
 
Untraced Shareholders.  Our bye-laws provide that our board of directors may forfeit any dividend or other monies payable in respect of any shares which remain unclaimed for twelve years from the date when such monies became due for payment.  In addition, we are entitled to cease sending checks or dividend warrants by post or otherwise to a shareholder if such instruments have been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, such shareholder on at least two consecutive occasions or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the shareholder’s new address.  This entitlement ceases if the shareholder claims a dividend or cashes a dividend check or a warrant.
 
Certain Provisions of Bermuda Law.  We have been designated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control purposes.  This designation allows us to engage in transactions in currencies other than the Bermuda dollar, and there are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of our common shares or preference shares.
 
Americas/2017845547.2    7


The Bermuda Monetary Authority has given its consent for the issue and free transferability of our common shares and preference shares to and between non-residents of Bermuda for exchange control purposes, provided our shares remain listed on an appointed stock exchange, which includes the New York Stock Exchange.  Approvals or permissions given by the Bermuda Monetary Authority do not constitute a guarantee by the Bermuda Monetary Authority as to our performance or our creditworthiness. 
 
In accordance with Bermuda law, share certificates are only issued in the names of companies, partnerships or individuals.  In the case of a shareholder acting in a special capacity (for example as a trustee), certificates may, at the request of the shareholder, record the capacity in which the shareholder is acting.  Notwithstanding such recording of any special capacity, we are not bound to investigate or see to the execution of any such trust.  We will take no notice of any trust applicable to any of our shares, whether or not we have been notified of such trust.

CONVEYANCE OF
LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
SECTION i..Conveyance of Loans.
(1)By execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company does hereby assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust on the Effective Date and from time to time on any Business Day on which the Servicer delivers a Daily Report to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, without recourse (except as specifically provided herein), all its present and future right, title and interest in, to and under:
(a)the Purchased Loans acquired by the Company from the Sellers from time to time prior to but not including the Trust Termination Date as indicated in the Daily Report delivered to the Trustee on the Effective Date or such Business Day;
(b)the Related Property;
(c)all Collections;
(d)all rights (including rescission, replevin or reclamation) relating to any Purchased Loan or arising therefrom;
(e)each of the Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, including in respect of each agreement, (A) all rights of the Company to receive monies due and to become due under or pursuant to such agreement, whether payable as fees, expenses, costs or otherwise, (B) all rights of the Company to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to such agreement, (C) claims of the Company for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under such agreement, (D) the right of the Company to
3



amend, waive or terminate such agreement, to perform thereunder and to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder and (E) all other rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Company under or in connection with such agreement (whether arising pursuant to such agreement or otherwise available to the Company at law or in equity), including the rights of the Company to enforce such agreement and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or in connection therewith (all of the foregoing set forth in subclauses (v) (A) through (E), inclusive, the “Transferred Agreements”);
(f)the Collection Account, including (A) all funds and other evidences of payment held therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Collection Account or any funds and other evidences of payment held therein, (B) all investments of such funds held in the Collection Account and all certificates and instruments from time to time representing or evidencing such investments, (C) all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered or transferred to, or otherwise possessed by, the Trustee for and on behalf of the Company in substitution for the then existing Collection Account and (D) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the then existing Collection Account; and
(g)all proceeds of or payments in respect of any and all of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) (including proceeds that constitute property of the types described in clause (vi) above and including Collections).
Such property described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii), together with all investments and all monies on deposit in any other bank account or accounts maintained for the benefit of any Holders for payment to the Holders shall constitute the assets of the Trust (collectively, the “Trust Assets”).
Subject to Section 5.09, although it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Loans and the other Trust Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, the Company hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders to secure the Company Obligations a perfected first priority security interest in all of the Company’s present and future right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Loans and the other Trust Assets, and that this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under applicable law in favor of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders.
4



(2)The assignment, setover and conveyance to the Trust pursuant to subsection 2.01(a) shall be made to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and each reference in this Agreement to such assignment, setover and conveyance shall be construed accordingly. In connection with the foregoing assignment, the Company and the Servicer agree to deliver to the Trustee each Trust Asset evidencing a Purchased Loan or any Related Property with respect thereto (including any original document or instrument necessary to effect or to perfect such assignment) in which the transfer of an interest is being perfected under the relevant UCC or otherwise by possession and not by filing a financing statement or similar document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Company and the Servicer agree to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee an original of (i) any promissory note or other instrument, including but not limited to each Loan Note, evidencing a Purchased Loan sold to the Trust (endorsed to the order of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders) and (ii) any chattel paper evidencing a Purchased Loan sold to the Trust (endorsed to the order of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders).
Notwithstanding the assignment of the Transferred Agreements set forth in subsection 2.01(a), the Company does not hereby assign or delegate any of its duties or obligations under the Sale Agreement to the Trust or the Trustee, and neither the Trust nor the Trustee accepts such duties or obligations, and the Company shall continue to have the right and the obligation to purchase Eligible Loans sold by the Sellers thereunder from time to time and to consummate the other transactions and take any actions contemplated thereby. The foregoing assignment, setover and conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Trust, the Trustee, any Investor Certificateholder or the Company, in its capacity as a Holder, of any obligation of the Servicer, the Company, the Sellers, or any other Person in connection with the Purchased Loans or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation to any Obligor.
In connection with such assignment, the Company agrees to record and file, or cause to be recorded or filed, at its own expense, any financing statements or other similar filings (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements or other similar filings when applicable), (i) with respect to the Purchased Loans and (ii) with respect to any other Trust Assets for which a security interest may be perfected under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws, legislation or similar statute by such filing, in each case meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and maintain perfection of the assignment of the Purchased Loans and such other Trust Assets (excluding returned merchandise) to the Trust, and to deliver a filestamped copy or certified statement of such financing statement (or other similar filing) or other evidence of such filing to the Trustee on or prior to the date of issuance of any Investor Certificates or the Exchangeable Company Interest. Until the termination of this Agreement, the Company and the Servicer upon its written instruction hereby irrevocably authorizes the Trustee to file one or more financing or continuation statements (or other similar filing), and amendments thereto provided to it, relative to all or any part of the Purchased Loans and the other Loan Assets sold or to be sold by the
5



Company without the signature of the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have no responsibility nor be under any obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement (or other similar filing), or a continuation statement to such financing statement (or other similar filing), or to make any other filing under the UCC or other applicable laws, legislation or similar statute in connection with such transfer. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on (i) the filings (or other similar filings) made by or on behalf of the Company without any independent investigation and (ii) the Company’s obligation to make such filings as evidence that such filings have been made.
In connection with such assignment, the Company further agrees, at its own expense, on each Loan Purchase Date, (a) to cause the Servicer to indicate, in the Servicer's computer files maintained on behalf of the Company containing the master database of Purchased Loans and to cause (or cause the Servicer to cause) each Seller to indicate in its records containing its master database of Purchased Loans, that Purchased Loans have been conveyed to the Company or the Trust, as the case may be, pursuant to the Sale Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, for the benefit of the Holders and (b) to deliver or transmit or cause the Servicer on behalf of the Company to deliver or transmit to the Trustee a Daily Report containing at least the information specified in Schedule 1 as to all Purchased Loans, as of each related Loan Purchase Date.
SECTION ii..Acceptance by Trustee.
(1)The Trustee hereby acknowledges its acceptance on behalf of the Trust of all right, title and interest in, to and under the property, now existing and hereafter created, assigned to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 and declares that it shall maintain such right, title and interest, upon the trust herein set forth, for the benefit of all Holders. The Trustee shall maintain a copy of each Monthly Settlement Statement and Daily Report, as delivered to it from time to time, at the Corporate Trust Office.
(2)The Trustee shall have no power to create, assume or incur indebtedness or other liabilities in the name of the Trust other than as contemplated in this Agreement.
SECTION iii..Representations and Warranties of the Company Relating to the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee and the Trust, for the benefit of the Holders, as of the Effective Date and as of the Issuance Date of each Series, that:
(1)Organization; Powers.

(3)Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes, and each other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party when executed and delivered by the Company will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms, subject (a) to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, from time to time in effect and (b) to general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought by a proceeding in equity or at law).
(4)Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the Transactions, except for (i) the filing of UCC financing statements (or similar filings) in any applicable jurisdictions necessary to perfect the Trust’s ownership or security interest in the Purchased Loans, and (ii) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect; provided, that the Company makes no representation or warranty as to whether any action, consent, or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the distribution of the Certificates and Interests.
(5)Litigation; Compliance with Laws.
(a)There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or affecting the

(b)The Company is not in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree or order of any Governmental Authority, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Other than the restrictions created by the Transaction Documents, the Company is not subject to any corporate restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)The Company is not in default in any material respect under any provision of any Transaction Document or any other material Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound.
(7)Federal Reserve Regulations.

(b)No part of the proceeds from the issuance of any Investor Certificates will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or X.

(10)Tax Returns. The Company has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns and has paid or caused to be paid or made adequate provision for all taxes due and payable by it and all assessments received by it except to the extent that any failure to file or nonpayment (i) is being contested in good faith in appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves are maintained in accordance with GAAP or (ii) could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(11)Location of Records; Chief Executive Office; Jurisdiction of Formation. The offices at which the Company keeps its records concerning the Purchased Loans either (x) are located at the addresses set forth for the Sellers on Schedule 3 of the Sale Agreement or (y) the Company has notified the Trustee of the location thereof in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.07(g) of this Agreement.

As of the date hereof, the state and county where the chief executive office of the Company is located has not changed in the past four months. The Company was formed in the State of Delaware.
(12)Solvency.

Both prior to and after giving effect to the transactions occurring on the Effective Date and each Issuance Date, the Company is and will be Solvent. The Company does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it and the timing of and amounts of cash to be payable in respect of its Indebtedness.

(17)Company Material Adverse Effect. Since the Effective Date no event has occurred which has had a Material Adverse Effect.
(18)Bulk Sales. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not require compliance with any “bulk sales” law by the Company in the United States.
The representations and warranties as of the date made set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Trust Assets to the Trust. Upon discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Company or the Servicer or by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties with respect to any Outstanding Series as of the Issuance Date of such Series, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and to the Letter of Credit Agent and the Administrative Agent. The Trustee’s obligations in respect of any breach are limited as provided in subsection 8.02(g).
SECTION iv..Representations and Warranties of the Company Relating to the Purchased Loans. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee and the Trust, for the benefit of the Holders, with respect to each Purchased Loan transferred to the Trust as of the related Loan Purchase Date, unless, in either case, otherwise stated in the applicable Supplement or unless such representation or warranty expressly relates only to a prior date, that:

11



given by the Trustee or the Servicer of any such event that continues unremedied, the Company shall make an adjustment payment with respect to such Ineligible Purchased Loan on the terms and conditions set forth in subsection 2.05(b).

Upon transfer or deposit of the Transfer Deposit Amount, the Trust shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have agreed to pay to the Company, without recourse, representation or warranty, all Collections in respect of each such Ineligible Purchased Loan. Except as otherwise specified in any Supplement, the obligation of the Company to pay such Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to any Ineligible Purchased Loan shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to Investor Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of Investor Certificateholders) unless such obligation is not satisfied in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III.

RIGHTS OF HOLDERS AND ALLOCATION
AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS
THE FOLLOWING PORTION OF THIS ARTICLE III
IS APPLICABLE TO ALL SERIES.
SECTION i..Establishment of Collection Account; Certain Allocations.
(1)The Trustee, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, as their interests appear in this Agreement, shall cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trustee as trustee of the Trust with an Eligible Institution or with the corporate trust department of the Trustee or an Eligible Institution or an affiliate of the Trustee or an Eligible Institution, a segregated trust account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. Schedule 2, which is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, identifies the Collection Account by setting forth the account number of such account, the account designation of such account and the name of the institution with which such account has been established. The Collection Account shall be divided into individual subaccounts for each Outstanding Series (each, respectively, a “Series Collection Subaccount” and, collectively, the “Series Collection Subaccounts”) and for the Company (the “Company Collection Subaccount”). For administrative purposes only, the Trustee may establish or cause to be established for a Series, so long as such Series is an Outstanding Series, subsubaccounts of the Series Collection Subaccounts with respect to such Series for the purposes of transferring the principal and non-principal portions of Collections (respectively, the “Series Principal Collection Subsubaccount” and “Series NonPrincipal Collection Subsubaccount”) and for transferring Collections denominated in an Approved Currency other than the Dollar (the "Series Currency Collection Sub-subaccounts" and, together with the Series Principal Collection Sub-subaccount and the Series Non-Principal Collection Sub-subaccount, the “Series Collection Subsubaccounts”).
(2)Authority of the Trustee in Respect of the Collection Account.
(a)The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Collection Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Servicer has actual notice or knowledge that any institution holding the Collection
20



Account has ceased to be an Eligible Institution, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee to establish within thirty (30) days a substitute account therefor with an Eligible Institution, transfer any cash and/or any Eligible Investments to such new account and from the date any such substitute accounts are established, such account shall be the Collection Account. Neither the Company, the Servicer nor any person or entity claiming by, through or under the Company or the Servicer, shall have any right, title or interest in, except to the extent expressly provided under the Transaction Documents, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Collection Account. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in subsection 2.02(a) of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Trustee in writing to make withdrawals from and payments to the Collection Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or Trustee’s duties hereunder.
(b)The Servicer agrees to give written direction (which may be included within any Monthly Settlement Statement or Daily Report) in a timely manner to the Trustee to apply all Collections with respect to the Purchased Loans and to make all other applications, allocations and distributions described in Article III and in the Supplement with respect to each Outstanding Series.
(c)Each Series of Investor Certificates shall represent Fractional Undivided Interests as indicated in the Supplement relating to such Series and the right to receive Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in this Article III (as supplemented by the Supplement related to such Series) to be deposited in the Collection Account and any other accounts maintained for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders or paid to the Investor Certificateholders (with respect to each outstanding Series, the “Investor Certificateholders’ Interest”). The Exchangeable Company Interest shall represent the interest in the Trust not represented by any Series of Investor Certificates then outstanding, including the right to receive Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in this Article III to be paid to the Company (the “Exchangeable Company Interest”); provided, however, that no such Exchangeable Company Interest shall represent any interest in any Trust Account and any other accounts maintained for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders, except as specifically provided in this Article III.
(3)Administration of the Collection Account. At the written direction of the Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company), funds on deposit in the Collection Account and any Series Collection Subaccount available for investment, shall be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company). All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee may liquidate any Eligible Investment when required to make a transfer of funds or an application pursuant
21



to this Agreement or any related Supplement. The Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company) agrees to use its reasonable efforts to schedule the maturity of such Eligible Investments so as to avoid the necessity of liquidating the same. The Company shall bear the expense of any cost incurred in respect of liquidation of an investment hereunder. Amounts on deposit in any subsubaccounts as specified in the related Supplement shall be invested in Eligible Investments that mature, or that are payable or redeemable upon demand of the holder thereof, so that such funds will be available not later than the date which is specified in any Supplement. The Trustee, or its nominee or custodian, shall maintain possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing any Eligible Investments from the time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or maturity. Any earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) (the “Investment Earnings”) on such invested funds in a Series Collection Subaccount and any other subsubaccounts as specified in the related Supplement will be deposited by the Trustee in the Series Collection Subaccount or in such other sub-subaccount specified in the related supplement. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Company (or the Servicer on its behalf) is authorized to direct the purchase of, and the Trustee may, to the extent permitted by applicable banking laws and regulations, purchase investments constituting Eligible Investments (i) from JPMorgan Chase or any other Affiliate of JPMorgan Chase, including securities that are underwritten, placed or dealt in by JPMorgan Chase or any other Affiliate of JPMorgan Chase, or (ii) from money market funds or management investment companies for which JPMorgan Chase or any Affiliate is investment manager, advisor, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent and/or custodian or (iii) that involve JPMorgan Chase or an Affiliate of JPMorgan Chase as a participant or counterparty. It is further acknowledged and agreed that JPMorgan Chase and/or such Affiliates of JPMorgan Chase may receive advisory fees, referral fees and other compensation in connection with such services that are distinct from the fees, charges and expenses of JPMorgan Chase in its various capacities hereunder.
(4)Collections.
(a)Promptly following the receipt of Collections in the form of available funds in a Lock-Box Account, but in no event later than 12:00 (Noon), New York City time, on the Business Day following the Business Day Received, the Servicer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections on deposit in the form of available funds in the Lock-Box Accounts directly to the Collection Account.
(b)If the Daily Report specified in subsection 3.01(b)(ii) is received by the Trustee at or before 12:00 (Noon), New York City time, on any Business Day, the Trustee shall transfer, within a reasonable time on such Business Day, from aggregate Collections and all other funds deposited in the Collection Account, to the respective Series Collection Subaccount, an amount equal to the product of (x) the applicable Invested Percentage for such
22



Outstanding Series and (y) such aggregate Collections deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with the Daily Report; provided, that if a portion or all of the Invested Amount of any Series is denominated in an Approved Currency other than the Dollar, then such Series' Invested Percentage (calculated by converting the Invested Amount of each Series that is not denominated in Dollars into Dollars using the Rate of Exchange) of the aggregate Collections and all other funds deposited into the Collection Account shall be transferred (A) prior to the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event with respect to any Series, first, from funds in the Collection Account denominated in the applicable Approved Currency or Approved Currencies and second, from funds in the Collection Account denominated in other Approved Currencies, and (B) after the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event with respect to any Series, from all funds in the Collection Account (regardless of the type of Approved Currency).
(c)If the Daily Report specified in subsection 3.01(b)(ii) is received by the Trustee at or before 12:00 (Noon), New York City time, on any Business Day, the Trustee shall, if required by the related Supplement, allocate, within a reasonable time on such Business Day, funds transferred to the Series Collection Subaccount for each Outstanding Series pursuant to the preceding subsection 3.01(d)(ii) to the Series Non-Principal Collection Sub-subaccount, the Series Principal Collection Sub-subaccount and the Series Currency Collection Sub-subaccounts of each such Series in accordance with the Daily Report and the related Supplement for such Series.
(d)Except as otherwise provided in a Supplement, if the Daily Report specified in subsection 3.01(b)(ii) is received by the Trustee at or before 12:00 (Noon), New York City time, on such Business Day, the Trustee shall transfer in accordance with such Daily Report, within a reasonable time on such Business Day, to the Company Collection Subaccount the remaining funds, if any, on deposit in the Collection Account on such day after giving effect to transfers to be made pursuant to subsection 3.01(d)(ii).
(5)Certain Allocations Following an Amortization Period.
(a)If, on any Settlement Report Date, an Amortization Period has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Outstanding Series and at such Settlement Report Date, a Revolving Period is still in effect with respect to any other Outstanding Series (a “Special Allocation Settlement Report Date”), then the Servicer shall make the following calculations:
(i)the amount (the “Allocable ChargedOff Amount”) equal to the excess, if any, of (I) the aggregate Principal Amount of Defaulted
23



Loans for the related Settlement Period over (II) the aggregate Principal Amount of Recoveries received during the related Settlement Period; and
(ii)the amount (the “Allocable Recoveries Amount”) equal to the excess, if any, of (I) the aggregate Principal Amount of Recoveries received during the related Settlement Period over (II) the aggregate Principal Amount of Defaulted Loans for the related Settlement Period.
(b)If, on any Special Allocation Settlement Report Date, either of the Allocable Chargedoff Amount or the Allocable Recoveries Amount is greater than zero for the related Settlement Period, the Trustee shall (in accordance with written directions received pursuant to subsection (b)(ii) above) make (A) a pro rata allocation to each Outstanding Series (based on the Invested Percentage for such Series) of a portion (as determined in clause (iii) below) of each such positive amount and (B) an allocation to the Exchangeable Company Interest of the remaining portion of each such positive amount.

24



Force Majeure Delay occurs, and in either such event the Trustee shall use its best efforts to transfer funds within a reasonable time.

SECTION i..The Investor Certificates. The Investor Certificates of each Series and any Class thereof shall be in fully registered form and shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with respect thereto attached to the applicable Supplement.

Except as otherwise set forth as to any Series or Class in the related Supplement, the Investor Certificates shall be issued by the Trust in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Unless otherwise specified in any Supplement for any Series, the Investor Certificates shall be issued upon initial issuance as a Book-Entry Certificate pursuant to Section 5.11 in an original principal amount equal to the Initial Invested Amount with respect to such Series. The Company is hereby authorized by the Trust to execute and deliver each Investor Certificate and any documents related thereto on behalf of the Trust. In so doing, the Company acts as agent of the Trust and shall incur no personal liability in respect of the Investor Certificates. Each Investor Certificate shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Company, as agent of the Trust, by a Responsible Officer. Investor Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of the individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Company, as agent of the Trust, shall not be rendered invalid, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be so authorized prior to or on the date of the authentication and delivery of such Investor Certificates or does not hold such office at the date of the authentication and delivery of such Investor Certificates. No Investor Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Investor Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory, and such certificate of authentication upon any Investor Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Investor Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Investor Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication but failure to do so shall not render them invalid.
SECTION ii..Authentication of Certificates.
(1)The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the initial Series of Investor Certificates that is issued upon the written order of the Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company) in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the holders of the initial Series of Investor Certificates, against payment to the Company of the Initial Invested Amount. The Investor Certificates shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee in authorized denominations equal to (in the aggregate) the Initial Invested Amount. Upon a Company Exchange as provided in Section 5.10 and the satisfaction of
26



certain other conditions specified therein, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Investor Certificates of additional Series (with the designation provided in the applicable Supplement) (or, if provided in any Supplement, the additional Investor Certificates of an existing Series), upon the written order of the Company, to the Persons designated in such Supplement. Upon the written order of the Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company), the Investor Certificates of any Series shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee, in authorized denominations equal to (in the aggregate) the Initial Invested Amount of such Series of Investor Certificates.
(2)Company Certificates. Upon written request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Company one or more certificates representing the Exchangeable Company Interest in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Such certificates shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee in denominations as requested by the Company. The Company shall pay all costs associated with such issuance of certificates.
SECTION iii..Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Investor Certificates.
(1)The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the Trustee) (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.16 a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Investor Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Investor Certificates as herein provided. The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York as Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purpose of registering the Investor Certificates and transfers and exchanges of the Investor Certificates as herein provided. The Bank of New York shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company, the Trustee and the Servicer; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and The Bank of New York shall continue to perform its duties as Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Trustee has appointed a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar reasonably acceptable to the Company and such successor Transfer Agent and Registrar has accepted such appointment. The provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05 and 10.19 shall apply to The Bank of New York (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) also in its role as Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, for so long as The Bank of New York (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) shall act as Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be.
The Company hereby agrees to provide the Trustee from time to time sufficient funds, on a timely basis and in accordance with and subject to Section 8.05, for the payment of any reasonable compensation payable to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for its services under this Section 5.03 and under Section 5.10. The Trustee hereby agrees that, upon the receipt of such funds from the Company, it shall pay the Transfer Agent and Registrar such amounts.
27



Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Investor Certificate at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Company shall execute (on behalf of the Trust), and the Trustee shall, upon the written order of the Company, and satisfaction of any transfer restrictions set forth herein or in the related Supplement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Investor Certificates in authorized denominations of the same Series (and Class) representing like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests and which bear numbers that are not contemporaneously outstanding.
At the option of an Investor Certificateholder, Investor Certificates may be exchanged for other Investor Certificates of the same Series (and Class) in authorized denominations of like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests, bearing numbers that are not contemporaneously outstanding, upon surrender of the Investor Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose.
Whenever any Investor Certificates of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute (on behalf of the Trust), and the Trustee shall, upon the written order of the Company, and satisfaction of any transfer restrictions set forth herein or in the related Supplement, authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver, the Investor Certificates of such Series which the Investor Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Investor Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, with sufficient instructions, duly executed by the Investor Certificateholder thereof or his attorneyinfact duly authorized in writing delivered to the Trustee (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case to the Transfer Agent and Registrar) and complying with any requirements set forth in the applicable Supplement.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Investor Certificates, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require any Investor Certificateholder that is transferring or exchanging one or more Investor Certificates to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Investor Certificates.
All Investor Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and disposed of in a customary manner satisfactory to the Trustee.
The Company shall, as agent of the Trust and without incurring personal liability with respect to the Investor Certificates, execute and deliver Investor Certificates to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar to fulfill their respective responsibilities under this Agreement and the Investor Certificates.
28



(2)The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense in Houston, Texas and, subject to subsection 5.03(a), if specified in the related Supplement for any Series, any other city designated in such Supplement, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Investor Certificates may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange.
(3)Unless otherwise stated in any related Supplement, registration of transfer of Investor Certificates containing a legend relating to restrictions on transfer of such Investor Certificates (which legend shall be set forth in the Supplement relating to such Investor Certificates) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in the related Supplement are complied with.
Investor Certificates issued upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, Investor Certificates bearing the legend referred to above shall also bear such legend unless the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend may be removed.
SECTION iv..Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Investor Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Investor Certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Investor Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Trust, each of them and the Company harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Trustee or Transfer Agent and Registrar that such Investor Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute on behalf of the Trust and, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Certificate, a new Investor Certificate of like tenor and aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest and bearing a number that is not contemporaneously outstanding. In connection with the issuance of any new Investor Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment by the Investor Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Investor Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Investor Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION v..Persons Deemed Owners. At all times prior to due presentation of an Investor Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Investor Certificate is registered as the owner of such Investor Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article IV of the related Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
29



Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.05, in determining whether the Investor Certificateholders of the requisite Fractional Undivided Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Investor Certificates owned by the Company, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Investor Certificates which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Investor Certificates so owned by the Company, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Investor Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Company, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof.
SECTION vi..Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Investor Certificateholders from the Collection Account (and/or any other account or accounts maintained for the benefit of Investor Certificateholders as specified in the related Supplement for any Series) pursuant to Articles III and IV. The Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement for any Series and with respect to such Series, the Paying Agent shall initially be The Bank of New York and any co-paying agent chosen by The Bank of New York. Each Paying Agent shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. In the event that the Paying Agent shall so resign, the Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a depositary institution or trust company) reasonably acceptable to the Company which appointment shall be effective on the date on which the Person so appointed gives the Trustee written notice that it accepts the appointment. Any resignation or removal of the Paying Agent and appointment of successor Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Paying Agent, as provided in this Section 5.06. The Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Investor Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Investor Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05 and 10.18 shall apply to The Bank of New York (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as The Bank of New York (or the Trustee to the extent it is so acting) shall act as Paying Agent. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any copaying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
30



The Company hereby agrees to provide the Trustee from time to time sufficient funds, on a timely basis and in accordance with and subject to Section 8.05, for the payment of any reasonable compensation payable to the Paying Agent for its services under this Section 5.06. The Trustee hereby agrees that, upon the receipt of such funds from the Company, it shall pay the Paying Agent such amounts.
SECTION vii..Access to List of Investor Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Company, the Servicer or the Paying Agent, within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from the Company, the Servicer or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Investor Certificateholders as then recorded by or on behalf of the Trustee. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of such list shall constitute Program Costs under the Supplement for the applicable Series. If three or more Investor Certificateholders of record or any Investor Certificateholder of any Series or a group of Investor Certificateholders of record representing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 10% of the Invested Amount of the related Outstanding Series (the “Applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Certificateholders of any Series with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Investor Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall transmit or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to transmit, such communication to the Investor Certificateholders reasonably promptly after the receipt of such application.
Every Investor Certificateholder, by receiving and holding an Investor Certificate, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents, officers, directors or employees shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure or mailing of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Investor Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the sources from which such information was derived.
As soon as practicable following each Record Date, the Trustee shall provide to the Paying Agent or its designee, a list of Investor Certificateholders in such form as the Paying Agent may reasonably request.
SECTION viii..Authenticating Agent.
(1)The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Investor Certificates which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Investor Certificates in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Investor Certificates; provided, that each such authenticating agent shall satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.06. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Investor Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such
31



reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent.
(2)Any institution succeeding to the corporate trust business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such authenticating agent; provided such institution satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 8.06.
(3)An authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee. Upon the receipt by the Trustee of any such notice of resignation and upon the giving of any such notice of termination by the Trustee, the Trustee shall immediately give notice of such resignation or termination to the Company. Any resignation of an authenticating agent shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor authenticating agent as provided in this Section 5.08. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving notice of termination to such authenticating agent. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Trustee or fail to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.06, the Trustee promptly may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent. No successor authenticating agent (other than an Affiliate of the Trustee) shall be appointed unless such authenticating agent (i) is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Company and (ii) satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 8.06.
(4)The Company hereby agrees to provide the Trustee from time to time sufficient funds, on a timely basis and in accordance with and subject to Section 8.05, for the payment of any reasonable compensation payable to each authenticating agent for its services under this Section 5.08. The Trustee hereby agrees that, upon the receipt of such funds from the Company it shall pay each authenticating agent such amounts.
(5)The provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05 and 10.18 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.
(6)Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 5.08, the Investor Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

referred to in the Sixth Amended and Restated Pooling Agreement

Authorized Signatory
SECTION ix..Tax Treatment. It is the intent of the Servicer, the Company, the Investor Certificateholders and the Trustee that, under applicable U.S. Federal, State and local income and franchise tax laws (but for no other purpose), the Investor Certificates will qualify as indebtedness of the Company secured by the Trust Assets and that the Trust will not be characterized as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Company, the Servicer and the Trustee, by entering into this Agreement, and each Investor Certificateholder, by its acceptance of its Investor Certificate, agree to treat, except as otherwise required by law, the Investor Certificates for applicable U.S. Federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes (but for no other purpose) as indebtedness of the Company. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties; provided, further that nothing in this Section 5.09 shall impose on the Company any personal liability in respect of the Investor Certificates. This Section 5.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be binding on all transferees of any of the foregoing persons.
SECTION x..Exchangeable Company Interest.
(1)The Company may decrease the amount of the Exchangeable Company Interest in exchange for (i) an increase in the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates of an Outstanding Series or (ii) one or more newly issued Series of Investor Certificates (any such decrease a “Company Exchange”). (A Company Exchange shall not be necessary in connection with an increase in the Invested Amount of any Investor Certificates issued in a Series with an Invested Amount that may increase or decrease from time to time. Such Investor Certificates are expected to be designated as “Variable Funding Certificates” or “VFC Certificates”). The Company may perform a Company Exchange by notifying the Trustee, in writing at least five (5) Business Days in advance (an “Exchange Notice”) of the date upon which the Company Exchange is to occur (an “Exchange Date”). Any Exchange Notice shall state the designation of any Series to be issued on the Exchange Date and, with respect to each such Series: (a) its
33



additional or Initial Invested Amount, as the case may be, if any, which in the aggregate at any time may not be greater than the current principal amount of the Exchangeable Company Interest, if any, at such time and (b) its Certificate Rate (or the method for allocating interest payments or other cash flow to such Series), if any. On the Exchange Date, the Trustee shall only authenticate and deliver any Investor Certificates evidencing an increase in the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates or a newly issued Series upon delivery by the Company (as agent of the Trust with respect to clause (f) below) to the Trustee of the following (together with the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of any additional agreements, instruments or other documents as are specified in the related Supplement): (a) a Supplement executed by the Company and specifying the Principal Terms of such Series (provided that no such Supplement shall be required for any increase in the Invested Amount of a Class of Investor Certificates unless it is so required by the related Supplement), (b) a Tax Opinion addressed to the Trustee and the Trust, (c) a General Opinion addressed to the Trustee and the Trust, (d) a Responsible Officer’s certificate certifying that all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Investor Certificates have been satisfied and upon which Responsible Officer’s certificate the Trustee may conclusively rely, (e) written instructions of an officer of the Company specifying the amount, Series, Investor Certificates, other Interests to be issued with respect to such Company Exchange and the Exchangeable Company Interest following any such Company Exchange and (f) the applicable Investor Certificates if necessary. Upon delivery of the items listed in clauses (a) through (f) above and satisfaction of any conditions set forth in any Supplement for an Outstanding Series, the existing Exchangeable Company Interest, shall be deemed adjusted as of the Exchange Date as provided above. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.16 a register (the “Exchange Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall record all Company Exchanges and the amount of the Exchangeable Company Interest following any such Company Exchange. There is no limit to the number of Company Exchanges that the Company may perform under this Agreement. If the Company shall, on any Exchange Date, retain any Investor Certificates issued on such Exchange Date, it shall, prior to transferring any such Investor Certificates to another Person, obtain a Tax Opinion. Additional restrictions relating to a Company Exchange may be set forth in any Supplement.
(2)Upon any Company Exchange, the Trustee, in accordance with the written directions of the Company, shall issue to the Company under Section 5.01, for execution, as agent of the Trust, and redelivery to the Trustee for authentication under Section 5.02, (i) one or more Investor Certificates representing an increase in the Invested Amount of an Outstanding Series, or (ii) one or more new Series of Investor Certificates. Any such Investor Certificates shall be substantially in the form specified in the
34



applicable Supplement and each shall bear, upon its face, the designation for such Series to which each such Certificate belongs so selected by the Company.
(3)In conjunction with a Company Exchange, the parties hereto shall, except as otherwise provided in subsection (a) above, execute a Supplement to this Agreement, which shall define, with respect to any additional Investor Certificates or newly issued Series, as the case may be: (i) its name or designation, (ii) its additional or initial principal amount, as the case may be, (or method for calculating such amount), (iii) its coupon rate (or formula for the determination thereof), (iv) the interest payment date or dates and the date or dates from which interest shall accrue, (v) the method for allocating Collections to Holders, (vi) the names of any accounts to be used by such Series and the terms governing the operation of any such accounts, (vii) the issue and terms of a letter of credit or other form of Enhancement, if any, with respect thereto, (viii) the terms on which the Certificates of such Series may be repurchased by the Company or may be remarketed to other investors, (ix) the Series Termination Date, (x) any deposit account maintained for the benefit of Holders, (xi) the number of classes of such Series, and if more than one class, the rights and priorities of each such Class, (xii) the rights of the holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest that have been transferred to the holders of such Series, (xiii) the designation of any Series Accounts and the terms governing the operation of any such Series Accounts, (xiv) provisions acceptable to the Trustee concerning the payment of the Trustee’s fees and expenses and (xv) other relevant terms (all such terms, the “Principal Terms” of such Series). The Supplement executed in connection with the Company Exchange shall contain administrative provisions which are reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
(4)The Company shall not transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of the Exchangeable Company Interest without delivery of a Tax Opinion. If the Company shall transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall record the transfer, assignment, exchange or other disposition of the Exchangeable Company Interest in the Exchange Register. Any Holder who wishes to transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest held by it shall deliver instructions and a written instrument of transfer, with sufficient instructions, duly executed by the Holder or his attorneyinfact duly authorized in writing delivered to the Trustee (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case to the Transfer Agent and Registrar) and complying with any requirements set forth in the applicable Supplement. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require any Holder that is transferring or exchanging all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of all or any portion of the Exchangeable Company Interest.
35



(5)Except as specified in any Supplement for a related Series, all Investor Certificates of any Series shall be equally and ratably entitled as provided herein to the benefits hereof without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of authentication and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement.
SECTION xi..BookEntry Certificates. If specified in any related Supplement, the Investor Certificates, or any portion thereof, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Investor Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository specified in such Supplement which shall be the Clearing Agency, specified by, or on behalf of, the Company for such Series. The Investor Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of such Clearing Agency, and no Certificate BookEntry Holder will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate BookEntry Holder’s interest in the Investor Certificates, except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to Investor Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.13 or the related Supplement:
(1)the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall be in full force and effect;
(2)the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee may deal with each Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Investor Certificates) as the Investor Certificateholder without respect to whether there has been any actual authorization of such actions by the Certificate BookEntry Holders with respect to such actions;
(3)to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control; and
(4)the rights of Certificate BookEntry Holders shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the related Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such related Certificate BookEntry Holders and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, the initial Clearing Agency will make bookentry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Investor Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Class or Series of Investor Certificates may be issued as BookEntry Certificates (but, instead, shall be issued as Definitive Certificates) unless at the time of issuance of such Class or Series, the Company and the Trustee receive a Tax Opinion.
36



SECTION xii..Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Investor Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate BookEntry Holders pursuant to Section 5.13, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Investor Certificateholders to the Clearing Agencies.

If (a)(i) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that any Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement, and (ii) the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Company, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the bookentry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Servicer Default or an Early Amortization Event, Certificate BookEntry Holders representing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount held by such Certificate BookEntry Holders of each affected Series then issued and outstanding (and, if applicable, the Majority Letter of Credit Banks and the Majority Liquidity Banks) advise the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing, and the Clearing Agency shall so notify the Trustee, that the continuation of a bookentry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate BookEntry Holders, the Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency, which shall be responsible to notify the Certificate BookEntry Holders, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate BookEntry Holders requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the BookEntry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.

OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE COMPANY
SECTION i..Liability of the Company. Except as set forth below in this Section 6.01, the Company shall be liable for all obligations, covenants, representations and warranties of the Company arising under or related to this Agreement or any Supplement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence and otherwise herein, the Company shall be liable only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by it in its capacity as Company hereunder and shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Paying Agent, an authenticating agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any Supplement, the sole remedy of the Trust, the Trustee (in its individual capacity or as Trustee), the Holders or any other Person in respect of any obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement of the Company under or related to this Agreement or any Supplement shall be against the assets of the Company. Neither the Trust, the Trustee, the Holders nor any other Person shall have any
37



claim against the Company to the extent that such assets are insufficient to meet such obligations, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement (the difference being referred to herein as a “shortfall”) and all claims in respect of the shortfall shall be extinguished.
SECTION ii..Limitation on Liability of the Company. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 10.19, neither the Company nor any of its directors or officers or employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement whether or not such action or inaction arises from express or implied duties under any Transaction Document; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of any duties or by reason of reckless disregard of any obligations and duties hereunder. The Company and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (other than, in the case of the Company, the Company or the Servicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder.
ARTICLE VII.

EARLY AMORTIZATION EVENTS
SECTION i..Early Amortization Events. Unless modified with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates by any related Supplement, if any one of the following events (each, an “Early Amortization Event”) shall occur:
(1)an Insolvency Event shall have occurred with respect to the Company;
(2)the Trust or the Company shall become an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act;
(3)the Trust shall receive a written notice from the Internal Revenue Service taking the position that the Trust should be characterized for United States federal income tax purposes as a “publicly traded partnership” or as an association taxable as a corporation and counsel to the Company cannot provide an opinion addressed to the Trustee and reasonably acceptable to the Letter of Credit Agent and the Administrative Agent that such claim is without merit; or
(4)the Trustee shall be appointed Successor Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement;
then, an “Early Amortization Period” with respect to all Outstanding Series shall commence without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee, any Investor Certificateholder, the
38



Letter of Credit Agent, any Letter of Credit Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Liquidity Bank immediately upon the occurrence of such event. The Servicer shall notify each Rating Agency, the Letter of Credit Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Trustee in writing of the occurrence of any Early Amortization Period, specifying the cause thereof. Upon the commencement against the Company of a case, proceeding or other action described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Insolvency Event”, the Company shall cease to purchase Loans from any Seller and cease to transfer Purchased Loans to the Trust, until such time, if any, as such case, proceeding or other action is vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal. If an Insolvency Event with respect to the Company occurs, the Company shall immediately cease to transfer Purchased Loans to the Trust (or, if the Company has previously suspended the transfer of Purchased Loans to the Trust to comply with the preceding sentence, such suspension shall become a permanent cessation of the transfer of Purchased Loans to the Trust) and shall promptly give written notice to the Trustee of such occurrence. Notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer to the Trust of additional Purchased Loans, Purchased Loans transferred to the Trust prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event and Collections in respect of such Purchased Loans and interest, whenever created, accrued in respect of such Purchased Loans, shall continue to be a part of the Trust.
Additional Early Amortization Events and the consequences thereof may be set forth in each Supplement with respect to the Series relating thereto.
SECTION ii..Additional Rights upon the Occurrence of Certain Events.
(1)If after the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Company, the Aggregate Invested Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon have not been paid to the Investor Certificateholders, the Trustee in accordance with the written direction of the Servicer shall (i) publish a notice in the Wall Street Journal (the “Authorized Newspaper”) that an Insolvency Event has occurred and that the Trustee intends to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Purchased Loans in a commercially reasonable manner and (ii) send written notice to the Investor Certificateholders, the Letter of Credit Agent and the Administrative Agent and request instructions from such Persons, which notice shall request each Certificateholder, the Letter of Credit Agent and the Administrative Agent to advise the Trustee in writing that it elects one of the following options: (A) the Investor Certificateholder, the Letter of Credit Agent and the Administrative Agent wishes the Trustee not to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Purchased Loans; (B) the Investor Certificateholder, the Letter of Credit Agent and the Administrative Agent wishes the Trustee to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Purchased Loans; or (C) the Investor Certificateholder, the Letter of Credit Agent and the Administrative Agent refuses to advise the Trustee as to the specific action the Trustee should take. If after sixty (60) days from the day notice pursuant to clause (i) above is first published (the “Publication Date”), the Trustee shall not have received written instructions selecting option (A) above from (x) except as otherwise provided in a Supplement with respect to any Series, Investor Certificateholders representing more than
39



50% of the Invested Amount of each Series (or, in the case of a Series having more than one Class of Investor Certificates, Investor Certificateholders representing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of each Class of such Series) and, if applicable, the Majority Letter of Credit Banks and the Majority Liquidity Banks and (y) if there are any Holders of the Exchangeable Company Interest other than the Company, the Holders of the Exchangeable Company Interest representing more than 50% of the Company Interest not held by the Company, the Trustee shall proceed to sell, dispose of, or otherwise liquidate the Purchased Loans in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids and the Trustee shall proceed to consummate the sale, liquidation or disposition of the Purchased Loans as provided above with the highest bidder for the Purchased Loans. The Company or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to bid for the Purchased Loans. In addition, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the right to match any bid by a third person and be granted the right to purchase the Purchased Loans at such matched bid price. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in such sale shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as provided in Section 8.05. After the appointment of the Trustee as Successor Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall proceed to sell, dispose of, or otherwise liquidate the Purchased Loans in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids and the Trustee shall proceed to consummate the sale, liquidation or disposition of the Purchased Loans as provided above with the highest bidder for the Purchased Loans. The Company or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to bid for the Purchased Loans. In addition, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the right to match any bid by a third person and be granted the right to purchase the Purchased Loans at such matched bid price. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be cumulative. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in such sale shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as provided in Section 8.05.
(2)The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of the Purchased Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be treated as Collections on the Purchased Loans and such proceeds shall be released to the Trustee in an amount equal to the amount of any expenses incurred by the Trustee acting in its capacity either as Trustee or as liquidating agent under this Section 7.02 that have not otherwise been reimbursed and the remainder, if any, will be distributed to Investor Certificateholders of each Series after immediately being deposited in the Collection Account, in accordance with the provisions of subsection 3.01(d) and the related Supplement for such Series. After giving effect to all such distributions, the remainder, if any, shall be allocated to the Exchangeable Company Interest and shall be released to the Holders of the Exchangeable Company Interest prorata based on the amount of the Exchangeable Company Interest held by each Holder thereof.

THE TRUSTEE

If a Servicer Default or Early Amortization Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Supplement and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
(2)The Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein upon resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports (including the Daily Report and the Monthly Settlement Statement), documents, orders or other instruments (whether in original or facsimile form) furnished to the Trustee; provided, that (i) in the case of any of the above which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 8.02, examine them to determine whether they appear on their face to conform to the requirements of this Agreement and (ii) in the case of any of the above as to which the Trustee is required to perform procedures pursuant to the Internal Operating Procedures Memorandum, the Trustee shall perform said procedures in accordance with the Internal Operating Procedures Memorandum.
(3)Subject to subsection 8.01(a), no provision of this Agreement or any Supplement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(a)the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent, or acted in bad faith, in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(b)the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith;
41



(c)the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with any of its obligations or any other Potential Servicer Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Letter of Credit Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Investor Certificateholder;
(d)the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of a Servicer Default, Early Amortization Event, Purchase Termination Event, Potential Purchase Termination Event or Potential Early Amortization Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Trustee receives written notice of such default or event from the Servicer, the Letter of Credit Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Holder of Investor Certificates;
(e)the Trustee shall not be liable for any investment losses resulting from any investments of funds on deposit in the Collection Account or any subaccounts thereof (provided that such investments are Eligible Investments); and
(f)the Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Servicer, nor shall it have any liability in connection with malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Servicer; the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance of the Servicer or the Company with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Purchased Loans; and the Trustee shall have no duty to perform, except as otherwise required pursuant to the Internal Operating Procedures Memorandum, any recalculation or verification of any calculation with respect to data provided to the Trustee by the Servicer.
(4)The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any obligations of the Servicer under such Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of such Agreement.
(5)Except as expressly provided in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust.

The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act.
(4)The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by any Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

notice, request, consent, direction, order, approval, bond, note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by, except as otherwise provided in a Supplement to any Series, the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series (and, if applicable, the Majority Letter of Credit Banks and the Majority Liquidity Banks) which could be materially and adversely affected if the Trustee does not perform such acts; provided, however, that such Holders of Investor Certificates shall indemnify and reimburse the Trustee for any liability or expense resulting from any such investigation requested by them; provided further that the Trustee shall be entitled to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may reasonably see fit, and if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books and records of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
(6)The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through affiliates, agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such affiliate, agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.
(7)The Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Purchased Loans or the Collection Account for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Company with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.
(8)In the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Transfer Agent and Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Transfer Agent and Registrar.

The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Investor Certificates or the Exchangeable Company Interest or of the proceeds of such Investor Certificates, or the Exchangeable Company Interest or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Company in respect of the Purchased Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or other accounts hereafter established to effectuate
44



the transactions contemplated herein and in accordance with the terms of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer of any of the Investor Certificates or of the proceeds of such Investor Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Purchased Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by or at the direction of the Servicer.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity (a) may become the owner or pledgee of Investor Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee and (b) may transact any banking and trust business with the Company, the Servicer or the Sellers as it would were it not the Trustee.
SECTION v..Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Trustee shall be entitled to a fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by the Trustee in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee. The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee annually in advance on the Effective Date and on or about each one year anniversary thereof, a fee agreed upon in writing between the Trustee and the Servicer. The Servicer and the Company jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with notices, requests for documentation or other communications to Holders), disbursements, losses, liabilities, claims, damages and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by reason of its status as Trustee under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, any cotrustee and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement, loss, liability, damage or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, that any obligation of the Company to make payments under this Section 8.05 shall be Company Subordinated Obligations. To the extent the fees and expenses of the Trustee are not paid on a current basis (including pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.05), the Trustee shall be entitled to be paid such items from amounts that would be distributable to the Company under Article III of this Agreement or payable to the Servicer pursuant to subsection 2.05(b) of the Servicing Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall apply to the reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances made or incurred by the Trustee, or any other
45



Person, in its capacity as liquidating agent, to the extent not otherwise paid. The covenants to pay the expenses, disbursements, losses, liabilities, damages and advances provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall be binding on the Company, the Servicer and any Successor Servicer.
SECTION vi..Eligibility Recitals. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having (or having a holding company parent with) a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the purpose of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee has been so appointed and has accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition (at the expense of the Company) any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(2)If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Company may remove the Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
(3)Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
46



effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
(4)The obligations of the Company described in Section 8.05 hereof and the obligations of the Servicer described in Section 8.05 hereof and Section 5.02 of the Servicing Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the Trustee as provided in this Agreement.
(5)No Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable for any action or omission of any successor trustee.
SECTION viii..Successor Trustee.
(1)Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all documents or copies thereof, at the expense of the Servicer, and statements held by it hereunder; and the Company and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, power, duties and obligations. The Servicer shall immediately give notice, but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to any such resignation or removal, to each Rating Agency upon the appointment of a successor trustee.

47



part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall promptly give notice (except to the extent prohibited under any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation), but in no event less than 10 days prior to any such merger or consolidation, to the Company, the Servicer, the Letter of Credit Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Rating Agencies upon any such merger or consolidation of the Trustee. Information as to such merger or consolidation that is made publicly available by the Trustee in the Authorized Newspaper shall be deemed to satisfy the notice requirement of this Section 8.09.
SECTION x..Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(1)Notwithstanding any other provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a cotrustee or cotrustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary. No cotrustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Holders of the appointment of any cotrustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08. The Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of the appointment of any cotrustee.
(2)Every separate trustee and cotrustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a)all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or cotrustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or cotrustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any statute of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or cotrustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b)neither the Trustee nor any separate trustee or co-trustee shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee,
48



separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder so long as such trustee, separate trustee or co-trustee is appointed with due care in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
(c)the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(3)Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and cotrustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or cotrustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and cotrustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, specifically including every provision of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Company.
(4)Any separate trustee or cotrustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorneyinfact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to any Pooling and Servicing Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or cotrustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION xi..Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be required to file U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign income tax returns, the Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company) shall prepare and file or shall cause to be prepared and filed any such tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such tax returns to the Trustee for signature at least five Business Days before such tax returns are due to be filed (including extensions). The Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company) shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all U.S. Federal tax information in connection with this Agreement required by law to be distributed to Holders and shall deliver such information to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to the Holders. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Company or the Servicer with all such information known to the Trustee as may be reasonably determined by the Company or the Servicer to be required in connection with the preparation of all U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign income tax returns of the Trust, and shall, upon the Company’s (or the Servicer’s on behalf of the Company) written request, execute such tax returns. In no event shall the Trustee in its individual capacity be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Holders, the Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company), arising under any U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign income tax law or regulation,
49



including, without limitation, excise taxes or any other tax imposed by a Governmental Authority on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from any failure to comply therewith). The Trustee shall not be required to determine whether any filing of tax returns is required.
SECTION xii..Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Investor Certificates. All rights of action and claims under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Investor Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Investor Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer, the Company or the Trust, such expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law.
SECTION xiii..Suits for Enforcement. If a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may, as provided in Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by suit, action or proceeding (including any suit, action or proceeding on behalf of the Holders against any third party) in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Holders. In furtherance of and without limiting the generality of subsection 8.01(d), the Trustee shall have the right to obtain, before initiating any such action, such reasonable indemnity from the Holders as the Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Investor Certificates or the Exchangeable Company Interest or the rights of any holder thereof, or authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
SECTION xiv..Rights of Investor Certificateholders To Direct Trustee. Except as otherwise set forth in a Supplement to any Series, Investor Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series (and, if applicable, the Majority Letter of Credit Banks and the Majority Liquidity Banks) affected by the conduct of any proceeding or the exercise of any right conferred on the Trustee shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that nothing in any Pooling and Servicing
50



Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction of the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks); provided further that in furtherance and without limiting the generality of subsection 8.01(d), the Trustee shall have the right to obtain, before acting in accordance with any such direction of the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks), such reasonable indemnity from the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) as the Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in so acting.
SECTION xv..Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee represents and warrants that:
(1)the Trustee is a banking corporation organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York and is duly authorized to exercise trust powers under applicable law;
(2)the Trustee has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and any Supplement, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and any Supplement; and
(3)each Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents executed by it have been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee and, in the case of all such Transaction Documents, are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).
SECTION xvi..Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain at its expense in Houston, Texas, an office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Investor Certificates or any other Interests and the Pooling and Servicing Agreements may be served. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Company, the Servicer and the Holders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register, the Exchange Register, or any such office or agency.
SECTION xvii..Limitation of Liability. The Investor Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by the Trust Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Investor Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.
51



SECTION xviii..Consequential Damages. In no event shall The Bank of New York, in its capacity as Trustee, be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
ARTICLE IX.

TERMINATION
SECTION i..Termination of Trust.
(1)The Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Holders as hereafter set forth and any indemnification obligations hereunder) shall terminate, except with respect to any such obligations or responsibilities expressly stated to survive such termination, on the earliest of (i) at the option of the Company, at any time when the Aggregate Invested Amount is zero, (ii) following the occurrence of any of the Early Amortization Events specified in Section 7.01 of this Agreement, at any time when the Aggregate Invested Amount is zero and (iii) upon completion of distribution of the amounts referred to in subsection 7.02(b) (the “Trust Termination Date”).
(2)If on the Distribution Date in the month immediately preceding the month in which the Trust Termination Date occurs (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits and drawings to occur on such date) the Invested Amount of any Series would be greater than zero (as certified in writing by the Servicer), the Trustee, at the written direction of the Servicer, shall make reasonable efforts to sell within thirty (30) days of such Distribution Date all of the Purchased Loans. The proceeds of such sale shall be treated as Collections on the Purchased Loans and shall be allocated in accordance with Article III. During such 30day period, the Servicer shall continue to collect Collections on the Purchased Loans and allocate Collections in accordance with the provisions of Article III. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in such sale shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as provided in Section 8.05.
SECTION ii..Optional Purchase and Final Termination Date of Investor Certificates of Any Series.
(1)On any Business Day during the Amortization Period with respect to any Series on which the Invested Amount (or such other amount as may be set forth in the related Supplement) of such Series is reduced to an amount equal to or less than the Optional Repurchase Percentage of the Initial Invested Amount (or such other amount as may be set forth in the related Supplement) for such Series as of the day preceding the beginning of such Amortization Period, the Company shall have the option to repurchase
52



the entire Investor Certificateholders’ Interest of such Series, at a purchase price equal to (i) the outstanding Invested Amount of the Investor Certificates of such Series plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest through such Business Day (after giving effect to any payment of principal and monthly interest on such date of purchase) plus (iii) all other amounts payable to all Investor Certificateholders of such Series under the related Supplement (such purchase price, the “CleanUp Call Repurchase Price”). The amount of the CleanUp Call Repurchase Price will be deposited into the Collection Account for credit to the Series Collection Subaccount for such Series on such Business Day in immediately available funds and will be passed through in full to the applicable Investor Certificateholders. Following any such repurchase, such Investor Certificateholders’ Interest in the Purchased Loans shall terminate and such interest therein will be allocated to the Exchangeable Company Interest and such Investor Certificateholders will have no further rights with respect thereto. In the event that the Company fails for any reason to deposit the CleanUp Call Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans, the Investor Certificateholders’ Interest in the Purchased Loans will continue and monthly payments will continue to be made to the Investor Certificateholders.
(2)The amount deposited pursuant to subsection 9.02(a) shall be paid to the Investor Certificateholders of the related Series pursuant to Article III on the Business Day following the date of such deposit. All Investor Certificates of a Series which are purchased by the Company pursuant to subsection 9.02(a) shall be delivered by the Company upon such purchase to, and be canceled by (in accordance with the written directions of the Company), the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company.
(3)All principal or interest with respect to any Series of Investor Certificates shall be due and payable no later than the Series Termination Date with respect to such Series. Unless otherwise provided in a Supplement, in the event that the Invested Amount of any Series of Investor Certificates is greater than zero on its Series Termination Date (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals, deposits and drawings to occur on such date and the payment of principal to be made on such Series on such date), the Trustee will sell or cause to be sold, in accordance with the directions of, except as otherwise set forth in a Supplement for any Series, the Investor Certificateholders representing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of such Series (and, if applicable, the Majority Letter of Credit Banks and the Majority Liquidity Banks) (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) and pay the proceeds to all Investor Certificateholders of such Series pro rata (except that unless expressly provided to the contrary in the related Supplement, no payment shall be made to Investor Certificateholders of any Class of any Series that is by its terms subordinated to any other Class until such senior Class of Investor Certificates have been paid in full) in final payment of all principal of and accrued interest on such Series of Investor Certificates, an amount of Purchased Loans or interests in Purchased Loans up to the Invested Amount of such Series at the close of business on such date; provided, however, in furtherance and without limiting the
53



generality of subsection 8.01(d), the Trustee shall have the right to obtain, before acting in accordance with any such direction of the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks), such reasonable indemnity from the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) as the Trustee may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in so acting. Absent such direction from, except as otherwise set forth in a Supplement for any Series, Investor Certificateholders representing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of such Series (and, if applicable, the Majority Letter of Credit Banks and the Majority Liquidity Banks) or absent such reasonable indemnity as the Trustee may require in connection with such direction, the Trustee shall continue to hold the Trust Assets in respect of such Series in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements until the Trust Termination Date (or until a majority of the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Majority Letter of Credit Banks and the Majority Liquidity Banks) shall otherwise direct the Trustee); provided that the terms of this Agreement, the related Supplement and the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect, except that no additional Purchased Loans shall be allocated with respect to such Series. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in such sale shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as provided in Section 8.05. Any proceeds of such sale in excess of such principal and interest paid shall be paid to the holder of the Exchangeable Company Interest, unless and to the extent otherwise specified in any applicable Supplement. Upon such Series Termination Date with respect to the applicable Series, final payment of all amounts allocable to any Investor Certificates of such Series shall be made in the manner provided in this Section 9.02.
SECTION iii..Final Payment with Respect to Any Series.
(1)Written notice of any termination, specifying the Business Day upon which the Investor Certificateholders of any Series may surrender their Investor Certificates for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Series and cancellation, shall be given (subject to at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from the Servicer to the Trustee containing all information required for the Trustee’s notice or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) by the Trustee to Investor Certificateholders of such Series mailed not later than ten days prior to such final distribution specifying (i) the Business Day upon which final payment of the Investor Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein designated and (ii) the amount of any such final payment, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein specified. The Servicer’s notice to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by a Responsible Officer’s certificate setting forth the information specified in Section 4.03 of the Servicing Agreement covering the period during the then current calendar year through the date of such notice.
54



The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to such Investor Certificateholders.
(2)Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust pursuant to subsection 9.01(a) or the occurrence of the Series Termination Date with respect to any Series pursuant to Section 9.02, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account (but only to the extent necessary to pay all outstanding and unpaid amounts to Holders) shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall pay such funds to the Investor Certificateholders upon surrender of their Investor Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Investor Certificate not surrendered on the date specified in subsection 9.03(a)(i) shall cease to accrue any interest provided for such Investor Certificate from and after such date. In the event that all of the Investor Certificateholders shall not surrender their Investor Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the abovementioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series to surrender their Investor Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Investor Certificates of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series concerning surrender of their Investor Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection Account held for the benefit of such Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Investor Certificateholder for such payment to the Company upon its request. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
(3)All Investor Certificates surrendered for payment of the final distribution with respect to such Investor Certificates and cancellation shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a customary manner satisfactory to the Trustee.
SECTION iv..Company’s Termination Rights. Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 and payment to the Trustee (in its capacity as such and/or in its capacity as Successor Servicer) of all amounts owed to it under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall assign and convey to the Company (without recourse, representation or warranty) in exchange for the Exchangeable Company Interest all right, title and interest of the Trust in the Trust Assets, whether then existing or thereafter created, and all proceeds thereof except for amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to subsection 9.03(b). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse,
55



representation or warranty (except with respect to the Trustee Liens as set forth below), as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to vest in the Company all right, title and interest which the Trust had in the Trust Assets free and clear of all Trustee Liens.
ARTICLE X.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION i..Amendment.
(1)This Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and each Supplement in respect of an outstanding Series (collectively, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreements”) may be amended in writing from time to time by the Servicer, the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any Holder (or the Letter of Credit Agent, the Letter of Credit Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Liquidity Banks), to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to add any other provisions hereof to change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions with respect to matters or questions raised under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and solely with respect to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, pursuant to subsection 6.02(c) and (d) of the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by a Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee, have a Material Adverse Effect (but, to the extent that the determination of whether such action would have a Material Adverse Effect requires a conclusion as to a question of law, an Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the Trustee in addition to such Responsible Officer’s certificate); provided further any amendment that is entered into to provide additional Enhancement for any Outstanding Series or to conform to regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service shall be deemed to have no Material Adverse Effect. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment pursuant to this paragraph or paragraph (b) below which affects the Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or otherwise.
(2)Any Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, to the extent provided in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any other agreement relating to the Purchased Loans may also be amended (other than in the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)) in writing from time to time by the Servicer, the Company and the Trustee with the consent of, except as otherwise set forth in a Supplement for any Series, Investor Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Invested Amount of any Series adversely affected in any material respect by the amendment (or, if any such Series shall have more than one Class of Investor Certificates adversely affected in any material respect by the amendment, more than 50% of the Invested Amount of each such Class)
56



for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such other agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of Holders of any Series then issued and outstanding; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) render any Series of Investor Certificates subordinate in payment to any other Series under the Trust or otherwise adversely discriminate against a Series relative to any other Series under the Trust without the consent of all Investor Certificateholders of the affected Series, (ii) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any Investor Certificate of such Series without the consent of such Investor Certificateholder of such Series; (iii) change the definition of, the manner of calculating, or in any way, the amount of, the interest of any Investor Certificateholder of such Series in the assets of the Trust without the consent of such Investor Certificateholder; or (iv) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Invested Amount of any adversely affected Series or Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of all Investor Certificateholders of each Series adversely affected in any material respect.
(3)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.01 to the contrary, the Supplement with respect to any Series may be amended on the terms and with the procedures provided in such Supplement.
(4)Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Investor Certificateholder of each Outstanding Series (or with respect to an amendment of a Supplement, to each Investor Certificateholder of the applicable Series), and the Servicer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Letter of Credit Agent, each Letter of Credit Bank, the Administrative Agent, each Liquidity Bank and each Rating Agency. No such material amendment (including without limitation, the amendment of any Supplement notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Supplement) shall be effective until the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to each Series adversely affected in any material respect by the amendment and, if Series 2000-1 is so adversely affected, with respect to the Commercial Paper issued by BAFC.
(5)It shall not be necessary for the consent of Investor Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Investor Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
(6)In executing or accepting any amendment pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Trustee shall, upon request, be entitled to receive and rely upon (i) an Opinion
57



of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized pursuant to a specific provision of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement and complies with such provision, (ii) a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Company stating that such (A) amendment shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any outstanding Investor Certificates in any material respect except for Holders of the Series whose consent to such amendment has been obtained in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 10.01 and (B) all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment shall have been satisfied in full and (iii) a Tax Opinion.
SECTION ii..Protection of Right, Title and Interest to Trust. The Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company) shall cause each Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all amendments thereto and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the Holders’ and the Trustee’s right, title and interest to the Trust and the Trust Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee hereunder to all property comprising the Trust. The Company (or the Servicer on behalf of the Company) shall deliver to the Trustee copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. In the event that the Servicer fails to file such financing or continuation statements and the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Company, that such filing is necessary to fully preserve and to protect the Trustee’s right, title and interest in any Trust Asset then the Trustee shall have the right to file the same on behalf of the Servicer and the Company and the Trustee shall be reimbursed and indemnified by the Company for making such filing. The Company shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 10.02.
SECTION iii..Limitation on Rights of Holders.
(1)The death or incapacity of any Holder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor shall such death or incapacity entitle such Holder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
(2)Except with respect to the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) as expressly provided in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement, no Holder (nor the Letter of Credit Banks nor the Liquidity Banks) shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto; nor shall any Holder (nor the Letter of Credit Banks nor the Liquidity Banks) be under any liability
58



to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(3)No Holder (nor the Letter of Credit Banks nor the Liquidity Banks) shall have any right by virtue of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) previously shall have given to the Trustee written request to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to initiate any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Holder (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) with every other Holder (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) and the Trustee, that no one or more Holder(s) (nor the Letter of Credit Banks nor the Liquidity Banks) shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreements to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of the Interests, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks), or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks). For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.03, each and every Holder (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
(4)By their acceptance of Interests pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Supplement, the Holders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) agree to the provisions of this Section 10.03.
SECTION iv..Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ISSUES OF PERFECTION ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
SECTION v..Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or three days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed to the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee at their respective Notice Addresses, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto.

Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.
SECTION vi..Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of such Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of the Investor Certificates or rights of the Holders.
SECTION vii..Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 5.03 of the Servicing Agreement, no Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor any rights or interests thereunder, may be assigned by the Company or the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee acting on behalf of the Holders of 662/3% of the Invested Amount of each Outstanding Series (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks holding at least 66-2/3% of the Letter of Credit Commitment and the Liquidity Banks holding at least 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Liquidity Commitment) and without the Rating Agency Condition having been satisfied with respect to such assignment.
SECTION viii..Investor Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. It is the intention of the parties to each Pooling and Servicing Agreement that the Investor Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Banks and the Liquidity Banks) shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust, that the interests in the Trust represented by the Investor Certificates shall be nonassessable for any losses or expenses of the Trust or for any reason whatsoever and that Investor Certificates upon authentication thereof by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.02 are and shall be deemed fully paid.
SECTION ix..Further Assurances. The Company and the Servicer agree to do and perform, from time to time, any and all acts (including but not limited to the acts required by subsection 2.01(b) and notifying related Obligors to the extent necessary to perfect the assignment of any Purchased Loan from the Company to the Trust, except to the extent that the relevant UCC and other similar laws (to the extent applicable) permit the Company (or its assignees) to provide such notification subsequent to the applicable Loan Purchase Date without materially impairing the Trust’s ownership or security interest in the Trust Assets and without incurring material expenses in connection with such notification) and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the Trustee more fully to effect the purposes of each Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution of any financing statements or continuation statements relating to the Purchased Loans for filing under the provisions of the UCC (or other applicable laws) of any applicable jurisdiction.
60



SECTION x..No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders (or, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Agent, any Letter of Credit Banks, the Administrative Agent or any Liquidity Bank), any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
SECTION xi..Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
SECTION xii..ThirdParty Beneficiaries. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.12 and in any Supplement, no other Person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
SECTION xiii..Actions by Investor Certificateholders.
(1)Wherever in any Pooling and Servicing Agreement a provision is made that an action may be taken or a notice, demand or instruction given by Investor Certificateholders, such action, notice or instruction may be taken or given by any Investor Certificateholders of any Series, unless such provision requires a specific percentage of Investor Certificateholders of a certain Series or all Series.
(2)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act by an Investor Certificateholder shall bind such Investor Certificateholder and every subsequent Holder of such Investor Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or omitted to be done by the Trustee, the Company, the Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Investor Certificate.

SECTION xvii..No Bankruptcy Petition. Each of the Trustee (for itself and on behalf of the Holders) and the Servicer hereby covenant and agree that it will not institute against, or join with or assist other Person in instituting against, the Company any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.
SECTION xviii..Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) each Pooling and Servicing Agreement is executed and delivered by the Trustee, not individually or personally but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) except with respect to Section 8.15 hereof the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Trust are made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by the Trustee, but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on the Trustee, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties who are signatories to this Agreement and by any Person claiming by, through or under such parties; provided, however, the Trustee shall be liable in its individual capacity for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence and for any tax assessed against the Trustee based on or measured by any fees, commission or compensation received by it for acting as Trustee and (d) under no circumstances shall the Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under any Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided further that this Section 10.18 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Trust (for the benefit of the Holders), the Holders, the Letter of Credit Agent, the Letter of Credit Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Banks (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of, or relating to, activities of the Company pursuant to any Pooling and Servicing Agreement to which it is a party, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, except to the extent such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Person or resulted from the performance of any Purchased Loan, market fluctuations or other market or investment risk not attributable to acts or

(ii)The Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably grants a power of attorney to the Dutch Originator to, on its behalf and where applicable, apply for a VAT refund in respect of any Portfolio Receivable that is owned by it that has become uncollectible under the VAT Bad Debt Relief Scheme. The Dutch Originator shall instruct the DTA to make payment of any reimbursement of VAT under the VAT Bad Debt Relief Scheme as pursuant to this Section 15(b) to the Administrative Agent’s account set forth on Schedule 2 (Address and Notice Information) of the Receivables Transfer Agreement, following which the Administrative Agent shall transfer such amount to the applicable Seller Operating Account.
(iii)In the event that the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) is obligated to pay any amounts back to the DTA under the VAT Bad Debt Relief Scheme following a subsequent collection in relation to any such Portfolio Receivable for which a VAT refund claim has been made under the VAT Bad Debt Relief Scheme pursuant to Clause 15(b):
(1)the Dutch Originator shall procure that such amount is specified in the next Monthly Report, together with the amount payable by each Purchaser, which shall be calculated pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments (each, a “Purchaser Reimbursement Amount”);
(2)following receipt of such Monthly Report each Purchaser shall pay the applicable Purchaser Reimbursement Amount to the Administrative Agent; and
(3)following receipt of such Purchaser Reimbursement Amounts by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the DTA as soon as reasonably practicable following such receipt, provided that for the avoidance of doubt the Administrative Agent will
9


have no obligation under this Amendment to pay any such amount to the DTA until it has received such amount from the relevant Purchaser.
(iv)In the event that, contrary to the position taken by parties in Section 15(a), the rights and obligations under the VAT Bad Debt Relief Scheme are not transferred along with the Portfolio Receivables:
(1)the Dutch Originator, the Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that any reimbursement of VAT received by the Dutch Originator under the VAT Bad Debt Relief Scheme attributable to any Portfolio Receivable that has been transferred under the Transaction Documents shall be considered a Collection under the Receivables Transfer Agreement; and
(2)in the event that the Dutch Originator is obligated to pay any amounts back to the DTA under the VAT Bad Debt Relief Scheme following a subsequent collection in relation to any such Portfolio Receivable:
(a)the Dutch Originator shall procure that such amount is specified in the next Monthly Report, together with each Purchaser Reimbursement Amount;
(b)following receipt of such Monthly Report each Purchaser shall pay the applicable Purchaser Reimbursement Amount to the Administrative Agent; and
(c)following receipt of such Purchaser Reimbursement Amounts by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the Dutch Originator on the next Monthly Settlement Date, provided that if the Administrative Agent has not received such amounts before 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day preceding such Monthly Settlement Date, it will pay such amounts to the Dutch Originator on the Business Day following such receipt, provided that for the avoidance of doubt the Administrative Agent will have no obligation to pay any such amount to the Dutch Originator until it has received such amount from the relevant Purchaser.
(v)The provisions and obligations of this Section 15 shall survive termination of this Amendment.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent a change in IFRS 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 Pre-Export Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in any computation of financial covenants), and the Pre-Export Borrowers shall continue to provide financial reporting which differentiates between operating leases and capital leases, in each case in accordance with IFRS as in effect on the date hereof.

Amounts prepaid may not be re-borrowed.
7.If any Pre-Export Borrower incurs any debt obligations for borrowed money after the Initial Pre-Export Drawdown Date, other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Sections 5.3(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), such Pre-Export Borrower shall prepay the Pre-Export Loans or, if requested by such Pre-Export Borrower, the Pre-Export Lenders shall assign a pro rata percentage of all of the Pre-Export Loans to the lender or other creditor that provides such debt obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate net cash proceeds of such debt obligations. Any such prepayment or assignment of Pre-Export Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment or assignment on the amount prepaid or assigned, and the Pre-Export Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14.
8.If (1) the Pre-Export Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries dispose of any property or assets (other than any disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 5.3(f) of this Agreement) or (2) any Casualty Event occurs, in each case which results in the realization or receipt by the Pre-Export Borrowers or such Subsidiaries of net cash proceeds, the Pre-Export Borrowers shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of such realization or receipt by the Pre-Export Borrowers or any Subsidiary of such net cash proceeds, subject to clause (e) of this Section 2.5, an aggregate principal amount of Pre-Export Loans in an amount equal to [●]% of all such net cash proceeds realized or received; provided that, at the option of the Pre-Export Borrower, such Pre-Export Borrower may use all or any portion of such net cash proceeds to acquire, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade or repair assets useful in the business of the Pre-Export Borrower within 6 months of such receipt, and such net cash proceeds shall not be required to be prepaid except to the extent not, within 6 months of such receipt, so used or contractually committed to be so used (it being understood that if any portion of such proceeds are not so used within such 6-month period but within such 6-month period are contractually committed to be used, then upon the termination of such contract or if such net cash proceeds are not so used within such 6-month period or, if later, 180 days from the entry into such contractual commitment, then such remaining portion shall be required to be prepaid without giving effect to this proviso);
9.Each prepayment or assignment of Pre-Export Loans pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above (A) shall be applied ratably to each Pre-Export Loan then outstanding, (B) shall be applied as a pro rata reduction of the quarterly principal payments and final principal payment required under Section 2.6(a) based on the percentage that the aggregate net cash proceeds from the debt obligations for borrowed money or net cash proceeds from asset disposition or Casualty Event, as applicable, represent of the aggregate outstanding balance of the Pre-Export Loans at the time of such prepayment or assignment of Pre-Export Loans and (C) shall be paid to the applicable Pre-Export Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata share (or other applicable share provided by this Agreement) of each such Pre-Export Loans.
35



10.The Pre-Export Borrower Representative shall notify the Pre-Export Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Pre-Export Loans required to be made by the Pre-Export Borrowers pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above (and any request for the Pre-Export Lenders to assign a pro rata percentage of all of the Pre-Export Loans to the lender or other creditor that provides a debt obligation) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (unless otherwise agreed by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment or assignment, the subsection pursuant to which such prepayment or assignment is being made, and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment or purchase price of the assignment to be made by the Pre-Export Borrowers or, in the case of an assignment of Pre-Export Loans, to be paid by the lender or other creditor that provides a debt obligation. The Pre-Export Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Pre-Export Lender of the contents of the Pre-Export Borrower Representative’s prepayment or assignment notice and of such applicable Pre-Export Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment or assignment.
11.If, on any date, the Total Pre-Export Loans outstanding on such date exceed the Total Pre-Export Commitments in effect on such date, the Pre-Export Borrowers immediately shall prepay the Pre-Export Loans in the amount of such excess. Each such prepayment pursuant to this clause (f) (A) shall be applied ratably to each Pre-Export Loan then outstanding and (B) shall be paid to the applicable Pre-Export Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata share (or other applicable share provided by this Agreement) of each such Pre-Export Loans.
12.On or after the Conversion Date, the Pre-Export Borrower Representative shall provide at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Pre-Export Lender) of a SugarCo COC Event that results from a Direct Sale of a controlling ownership interest in the Pre-Export Borrower Representative to a Controlling Shareholder that is not either (x) a Pre-Approved Controlling Shareholder or (y) a Controlling Shareholder from whom the Revolving Lenders had the opportunity prior to the Conversion Date to request documentation required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations in accordance with Section 2.3(e) of the Framework Agreement. Following the receipt of such notice, each Pre-Export Lender shall be given a period commencing on the date such notice is received and ending fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of the SugarCo COC Event to review all documentation and other information about such Controlling Shareholder(s) as has been reasonably requested in writing by such Pre-Export Lender from the Controlling Shareholder(s) that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations (as such rules and regulations may apply to a beneficial owner of a bank borrower), including without limitation the Patriot Act. In the event that any Pre-Export Lender notifies the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent in writing prior to the end of such review period that such Controlling Shareholder(s) do not comply with its “know your customer” or anti-money laundering requirements, then the Pre-Export Borrowers shall prepay all Pre-Export Loans owed to such Pre-Export Lender, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14, on
36



or prior to the effective date of the SugarCo COC Event, and the Pre-Export Commitment of such Pre-Export Lender shall terminate.
f.Repayment
.
13.The Pre-Export Borrowers shall repay to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Pre-Export Lenders (A) subject to Conversion having occurred, on the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Pre-Export Maturity Date (or on the immediately preceding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) and on each three-month anniversary thereof (or on the immediately preceding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), an aggregate principal amount equal to [●]% of the aggregate principal amount of all Pre-Export Loans outstanding as of such date and (B) the outstanding principal amount of each Pre-Export Loan in full on the Pre-Export Maturity Date (each payment described in clauses (A) and (B) a “Principal Repayment Date”); provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, any amortization of outstanding principal shall commence (x) with respect to Pre-Export Loans made by the Declining Pre-Export Lenders on the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Original Pre-Export Maturity Date (or on the immediately preceding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) or (y) with respect to Pre-Export Loans made by the Consenting Pre-Export Lenders and Replacement Pre-Export Lenders on the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Extension Pre-Export Maturity Date (or on the immediately preceding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day).
14.The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the intended primary mechanism for the repayment of the principal of the Pre-Export Loans shall be through the sale of and export of Goods by the Pre-Export Borrowers and Off-Shore SugarCo directly to the Eligible Importers under Export Contracts and the payment, in each case, by such Eligible Importers in respect of the related Export Receivables directly into the Collateral Accounts. The proceeds of such payments made to and all other funds received in the Collateral Accounts shall be applied against the principal amount of the Pre-Export Loans, interest due thereon and any fees or other payments due under the Credit Documents as set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) below. The Pre-Export Borrowers and Off-Shore SugarCo shall be permitted at any time to (i) instruct the relevant Eligible Importers to pay amounts of Export Receivables that are not Assigned Export Receivables into the Collateral Accounts or (ii) transfer to the Collateral Accounts any portion of the proceeds received by any Pre-Export Borrower or Off-Shore SugarCo from Eligible Importers in respect of Export Receivables that are not Assigned Export Receivables, so long as, before any payment is made into the Collateral Accounts by the relevant Eligible Importers or by the relevant Pre-Export Borrower or Off-Shore SugarCo pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii), as the case may be, the Pre-Export Borrowers shall deliver to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, the Pre-Export Collateral Agent and the Onshore Collateral Agent copies of all documents required by the regulations issued by the National Monetary Council and the Central Bank of Brazil and any other applicable law in connection with payments under a Recebimento Antecipado de Exportação (including, without limitation, the export registry (registro de exportação) relating to
37



the Goods sold in connection with the relevant Export Receivables the proceeds of which are being deposited into the Collateral Accounts).
15.During each Calculation Period, the Pre-Export Collateral Agent shall hold all funds received into the Collateral Accounts from or on behalf of the Pre-Export Borrowers, Off-Shore SugarCo or any Eligible Importer for application on the Principal Repayment Date, Interest Payment Date or other date on which payments of fees or other amounts are due under the Pre-Export Loan Documents falling during such Calculation Period until the Collateral Accounts contain an amount in the aggregate equal to the principal and interest on the Pre-Export Loans and other payments falling due during such Calculation Period. If at any time during any Calculation Period the aggregate amounts on deposit in the Collateral Accounts exceed the aggregate amount of principal and interest on the Pre-Export Loans and other payments falling due during such Calculation Period, then the Pre-Export Borrower Representative shall have the right to request that such excess amounts received in the Collateral Accounts during the relevant Calculation Period be released in accordance with its written instructions; provided that:
vii.the Pre-Export Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Pre-Export Collateral Agent and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer thereof, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed release date setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations evidencing the Pre-Export Borrowers’ compliance with their obligations under this Section 2.6(c) and Section 5.4, in each case, both before and immediately after giving effect to such release;
viii.no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time or will occur as a result of such release; and
ix.the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall have given its express consent to such release, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, delayed or withheld (for the avoidance of doubt, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall grant its consent without the need to notify or obtain any express or other consent from any of the Pre-Export Lenders if each of the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.6(c) has been satisfied by the Pre-Export Borrowers).
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.
16.In the absence of an Event of Default, on each Principal Repayment Date, Interest Payment Date, and/or other dates on which amounts under the Pre-Export Loan Documents are due, the Pre-Export Collateral Agent shall transfer the funds collected into and still held in the Collateral Accounts to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent for payment of the principal, interest or other fees or payments due with respect to that Principal Repayment Date, Interest Payment Date and/or other applicable due dates.
38



17.All amounts received in each Collateral Account shall be held therein subject to the rights as provided in the applicable Collateral Account Control Agreement.
18.In the event that any installment of principal, interest due thereon, or any other amount in respect of the Pre-Export Loans or any other Obligation is not paid when due, or if any portion of principal or interest due on any Principal Repayment Date and/or Interest Payment Date remains unpaid, the Pre-Export Borrowers shall immediately pay such amount to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Pre-Export Credit Parties and the Pre-Export Lenders may demand payment thereof under the Notes.
19.To the extent not previously paid, all due and unpaid principal amount of the Pre-Export Loans and all other Obligations then due and payable shall be paid in full in Dollars by the Pre-Export Borrowers on each applicable Principal Repayment Date, Interest Payment Date or other due date, as applicable, irrespective of, and together with, any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and other charges that may arise by reason of the payment of any such amounts not being made with proceeds of Export Receivables. The Pre-Export Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Pre-Export Loans and to pay all interest accruing thereon and all other Obligations when due is and shall remain unconditional irrespective of the existence or lack of Export Receivables or export sales of any other product by the Pre-Export Borrowers or Off-Shore SugarCo.
20.Each Pre-Export Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any funds collected into and held in the Collateral Accounts 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.
21.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.
22.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document, the Pre-Export Collateral Agent shall be entitled to block, suspend or reject individual payments made to the Collateral Accounts if it reasonably believes that any such payment is from any Person named on a Sanctions List or related to sales of Products received by any Person named on a Sanctions list.
23.While an Event of Default is continuing, upon written instructions from the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, the Pre-Export Collateral Agent shall apply or direct the application of any cash balance then on deposit in the Collateral Accounts to the payment of any of the Obligations then due and unpaid (including any amounts accelerated), all as set forth in the instructions from the Pre-Export Administrative Agent.
g.Continuation of Interest Period
39



. Each Pre-Export Loan shall be automatically continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto with a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Pre-Export Loan in accordance with the defined term “Interest Period.”
h.Interest Rates and Payment Dates
. Except as provided in Section 2.8(b), each Pre-Export Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to (i) the LIBO Rate determined for such day plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be established on the first day of each Interest Period based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio on such date. In the event of an adjustment to the Applicable Margin, the applicable Pre-Export Borrower shall amend the ROF with respect to each outstanding Pre-Export Loan made to such Pre-Export Borrower.
24.During the continuance of an Event of Default all outstanding Pre-Export Loans (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus [●]%. If all or a portion of any interest payable on any Pre-Export Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder (other than any amount to which the preceding sentence is applicable) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then applicable to the Pre-Export Loans plus [●]% from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
25.Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
i.Computation of Interest and Fees
. Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, and fractions less than one (1) cent shall be rounded up. The Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Pre-Export Borrowers and the relevant Pre-Export Lenders of each determination of a LIBO Rate. Interest shall accrue on each Pre-Export Loan for the day on which the Pre-Export Loan is made, and shall not accrue on any Pre-Export Loan (or portion of a Pre-Export Loan) for the day on which such Pre-Export Loan is paid. For purposes of calculating accrued interest on all Pre-Export Loans, interest shall accrue on the first day of each Interest Period, but not the last day of such period.
26.Each determination of an interest rate by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Pre-Export Borrowers and the Pre-Export Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall, at the request of any Pre-Export Borrower, deliver to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative a statement showing the quotations used by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Sections 2.8(a) and (b).
40



j.Inability to Determine Interest Rate
. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Pre-Export Loan:
27.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
28.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,
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.
k.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments
. 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), from and excluding the Conversion Date, 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.
29.Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5(g) and Section 2.17(b), each payment by the Pre-Export Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Pre-Export Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Pre-Export Loans then held by the Pre-Export Lenders.
30.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,
41



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.
31.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. 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.
32.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-
42



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.
33.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, (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 Accounts other than in accordance with Section 2.6(c) or (d).
l.Requirements of Law
. 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”):
x.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;
xi.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
xii.shall impose on such Pre-Export Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);
43



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.
34.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 (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.
35.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.
36.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and 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
44



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.
m.Taxes
. 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.
37.In addition, the Pre-Export Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Pre-Export Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
38.Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by a Pre-Export Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the applicable Pre-Export Borrower shall send to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Pre-Export Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Pre-Export Borrower showing payment thereof, a copy of the tax return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent.
39.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.
40.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
45



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.Any Pre-Export Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Pre-Export Loan Document shall deliver to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative or the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative or the Pre-Export Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. 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.
42.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
46



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.
43.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.
44.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. 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.
45.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.
n.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
47



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.
o.Change of Lending Office
.
46.Prior to (and in connection with) the Conversion and subject to Section 2.15(b), any Pre-Export Lender (a “Designating Lender”) at its option may designate any domestic or foreign branch or office of such Pre-Export Lender (the “Designated Branch/Office”) to make its Pre-Export Loan by delivering written notice of such designation to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent.  Upon delivery of such notice, the Designated Branch/Office shall be the Pre-Export Lender for all purposes hereunder, and the Designating Lender shall have no further rights or obligations as a “Pre-Export Lender” under the Pre-Export Loan Documents. 
47.Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, any designation by a Designating Lender of a Designated Branch/Office which is located in a tax haven jurisdiction or in a privileged tax regime (as defined by applicable Brazilian law) may not be made without the prior written consent of the Pre-Export Borrower Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed and may only be denied if such designation triggers an interest deductibility restriction for the Pre-Export Borrowers, under the thin capitalization and transfer pricing rules applicable in Brazil, in connection with the interest payable by the Pre-Export Borrowers hereunder, taking into account all the Pre-Export Loans advanced by all Pre-Export Lenders making their Pre-
48



Export Loans through a branch or office of such Pre-Export Lenders located in a tax haven jurisdiction or in a privileged tax regime, in accordance with applicable Brazilian law.
48.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; 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).
49.As of the date hereof, and pursuant to Section 2.15(a), Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., New York Branch (in its capacity as Pre-Export Lender) hereby designates Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. as its Designated Branch/Office. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pre-Export Borrower Representative acknowledges and agrees that its consent is not required pursuant to Section 2.15(b).
p.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 2.15(a) 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.
q.Replacement of Pre-Export Lenders
. 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
49



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.
50.The Pre-Export Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Defaulting Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Pre-Export Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Pre-Export Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, (v) 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 (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Pre-Export Borrowers, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or any other Pre-Export Lender shall have against the replaced Pre-Export Lender. To the extent the Pre-Export Borrowers are unable to replace any Defaulting Pre-Export Lender with a replacement financial institution, the Pre-Export Borrowers may, to the extent that the reduction in the Total Pre-Export Commitments provided for in this sentence does not cause the Total Pre-Export Commitments to fall below the Total Pre-Export Loans, remove such Defaulting Pre-Export Lender by repaying such Defaulting Pre-Export Lender’s outstanding Pre-Export Loans and reducing the aggregate Pre-Export Commitments by an amount equal to such Defaulting Pre-Export Lender’s Pre-Export Commitment.
r.Judgment Currency
. 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.
51.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
50



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.
s.Notes; Bank Records
. Each Pre-Export Loan made by each Pre-Export Lender to any Pre-Export Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by a Note in an amount equal to [●]% of the aggregate principal amount of such Pre-Export Lender’s interest in such Pre-Export Loan. Each such Note shall be duly completed and executed by each Pre-Export Borrower, and acknowledged and guaranteed by each Pre-Export Guarantor dated as of the applicable Pre-Export Drawdown Date in respect of the relevant Pre-Export Loan, and be payable to the order of such Pre-Export Lender in the amounts described above. Each Pre-Export Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Pre-Export Borrowers to such Pre-Export Lender resulting from the Pre-Export Loans made by such Pre-Export Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Pre-Export Lender from time to time hereunder, and such records shall be conclusive absent manifest error and serve as additional evidence of the Pre-Export Loans made by such Pre-Export Lender.
t.Extension Option
. 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.
52.Notification of Extension Request. The Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Pre-Export Lenders of any Extension Request as soon as practicable after receipt of it.
53.Pre-Export Lenders’ Response to Extension Request.
xiii.Each Pre-Export Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to any Extension Request (each such lender, a “Consenting Pre-Export Lender”) by providing notice to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent on or before the date falling fifteen (15) days after the Pre-Export Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Extension Request (the “Extension Response Deadline”).
51



xiv.The Pre-Export Maturity Date with respect to the Pre-Export Loans and Pre-Export Commitments of each Consenting Pre-Export Lender will be extended for the period referred to in such Extension Request; provided that the Required Pre-Export Lenders have agreed to such extension.
xv.If any Pre-Export Lender:
a.fails to reply to an Extension Request before the Extension Response Deadline; or
b.declines an Extension Request by the Extension Response Deadline,
(in each case, a “Declining Pre-Export Lender”), the Pre-Export Maturity Date of its Pre-Export Loans and Pre-Export Commitments will not be extended.
54.Form of Extension Request. Each Extension Request shall be made in writing and be irrevocable.
55.Replacement of Declining Pre-Export Lenders.
xvi.The Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall notify the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Lenders no later than one (1) Business Day after Extension Response Deadline of the details of which Pre-Export Lenders are Consenting Pre-Export Lenders and which Pre-Export Lenders are Declining Pre-Export Lenders.
xvii.If the Pre-Export Administrative Agent notifies the Pre-Export Borrower Representative that the Required Pre-Export Lenders are Consenting Pre-Export Lenders and that there are one or more Declining Pre-Export Lenders, the Pre-Export Borrower Representative may, on fifteen (15) days' notice to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent replace a Declining Pre-Export Lender by requiring such Declining Pre-Export Lender to (and such Declining Pre-Export Lender shall) transfer, pursuant to Section 8.6, all (and not only part) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Framework Agreement to a Consenting Pre-Export Lender or another bank, financial institution, trust fund or other entity (to the extent not a Consenting Pre-Export Lender, a “Replacement Pre-Export Lender”) selected by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative which is acceptable to the Pre-Export Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the rights and obligations of such Declining Pre-Export Lender for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer at least equal to the principal amount of such Declining Pre-Export Lender's participation in outstanding Pre-Export Loans under this Agreement and all accrued interest, costs and other amounts then due to the Declining Pre-Export Lender at such time.
xviii.The replacement of a Declining Pre-Export Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) shall be subject to the following conditions:
52



c.none of the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, any Pre-Export Joint Lead Arranger or any Pre-Export Lender shall have any obligation to find a Replacement Pre-Export Lender;
d.such replacement must take place by no later than the Original Pre-Export Maturity Date;
e.in no event shall the relevant Declining Pre-Export Lender be required to pay or surrender to the relevant Replacement Pre-Export Lender any of the fees or other amounts received by such Declining Pre-Export Lender pursuant to the Pre-Export Loan Documents prior to the date of such replacement; and
f.any Assignment and Acceptance executed by the relevant Declining Pre-Export Lender and the relevant Replacement Pre-Export Lender shall include a confirmation from the Replacement Pre-Export Lender that (x) it has agreed to the extension of the Original Pre-Export Maturity Date, requested by the Revolving Pre-Export Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.20 and to become and be deemed a party to this Agreement and a “Pre-Export Lender” hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations of the Declining Pre-Export Lender as a Pre-Export Lender set forth in this Agreement and (y) it has agreed to become and be deemed a party to the Framework Agreement and a “Pre-Export Lender” thereunder for all purposes thereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations of the Declining Lender as a Pre-Export Lender set forth in the Framework Agreement.
56.Reduction of Facility. If, with respect to any Extension Request, (i) the Required Pre-Export Lenders agree to such extension, (ii) there are any Declining Pre-Export Lenders and (iii) such Declining Pre-Export Lenders cannot be replaced pursuant to Section 2.20(e), then (x) all outstanding principal, interest and other amounts payable to the Declining Pre-Export Lenders shall be repaid on the then current Pre-Export Maturity Date (without giving effect to the extension of the Original Pre-Export Maturity Date) and (y) the Total Pre-Export Commitments will be automatically reduced by each such Declining Pre-Export Lender's Pre-Export Commitment on the last date of the Subsequent Pre-Export Commitment Period (without giving effect to the extension of the Original Pre-Export Maturity Date) once such repayment has been made.
57.Extension of the Facility. The then current Pre-Export Maturity Date of this Agreement will be extended to the Extension Pre-Export Maturity Date, in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the Aggregate Exposure of the Consenting Pre-Export Lenders (together with the Aggregate Exposure of the Replacement Pre-Export Lenders, if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, the sum of the Aggregate Exposures in respect of which the Original Pre-
53



Export Maturity Date has been extended under this clause shall not exceed the Total Pre-Export Commitments.
58.Limitations. No more than one (1) Extension Request may be given, and no Extension Request may be made if there was previously an extension of the maturity of the Revolving Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 2.03 thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pre-Export Maturity Date cannot extend beyond the date falling six (6) years after the date hereof. In addition, no extension pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be effective unless the Required Pre-Export Lenders are Consenting Pre-Export Lenders with respect to such extension.

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (g) above with respect to any Pre-Export Loan Party, then in such case automatically the Pre-Export Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Pre-Export Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, any or all of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Pre-Export Lenders, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Pre-Export Lenders, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative, declare the Pre-Export Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Pre-Export Commitments shall immediately terminate and (ii) with the consent of the Required Pre-Export Lenders, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Pre-Export Lenders, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative, declare the Pre-Export Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Pre-Export Borrowers.
SECTION 242.THE PRE-EXPORT AGENTS
a.Appointment
. Each Pre-Export Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Pre-Export Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of such Pre-Export Lender under this Agreement and the other Pre-
79



Export Loan Documents, and each such Pre-Export Lender irrevocably authorizes each Pre-Export Agent, in such capacity, to receive the Collateral on behalf of the Pre-Export Lenders and take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Pre-Export Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Pre-Export Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Pre-Export Agent.
b.Delegation of Duties
. Any Pre-Export Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneysinfact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys infact selected by it with reasonable care.
c.Exculpatory Provisions
. Neither any Pre-Export Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneysinfact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Pre-Export Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Pre-Export Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Pre-Export Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document or for any failure of any Pre-Export Borrower a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Pre-Export Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Pre-Export Borrower.
d.Reliance by Agents
. Each Pre-Export Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and
80



upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Pre-Export Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Pre-Export Agent. The Pre-Export Agents may deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Pre-Export Administrative Agent. Each Pre-Export Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Pre-Export Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Pre-Export Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Pre-Export Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Pre-Export Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Pre-Export Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Pre-Export Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Pre-Export Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Pre-Export Lenders and all future holders of the Pre-Export Loans.
e.Notice of Default
. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Pre-Export Agent has received notice from a Pre-Export Lender or the Pre-Export Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Pre-Export Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Pre-Export Lenders. Each Pre-Export Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Pre-Export Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Pre-Export Lenders); provided that unless and until an Agent shall have received such directions, such Pre-Export Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Pre-Export Lenders.
f.Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Pre-Export Lenders
. Each Pre-Export Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any Pre-Export Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneysinfact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Pre-Export Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Pre-Export Borrower or any Affiliate of a Pre-Export Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Pre-Export Agent to any Pre-Export Lender. Each Pre-Export Lender represents to the Pre-Export Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Pre-Export Agent or any other Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Borrowers and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Pre-Export Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Pre-Export Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Pre-
81



Export Agent or any other Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Borrowers and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Pre-Export Lenders by an Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Pre-Export Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Pre-Export Borrower or any Affiliate of a Pre-Export Borrower that may come into the possession of such Pre-Export Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneysinfact or Affiliates.
g.Indemnification
. The Pre-Export Lenders agree to indemnify each Pre-Export Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Pre-Export Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Pre-Export Borrowers 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 Pre-Export Commitments shall have terminated and the Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Pre-Export Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Pre-Export Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Pre-Export 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 any Pre-Export Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Pre-Export 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 applicable Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Pre-Export Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
h.Agent in Its Individual Capacity
. Each Pre-Export Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Pre-Export Borrower as though such Pre-Export Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Pre-Export Loans made or renewed by it, each Pre-Export Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents as any Pre-Export Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Pre-Export Lender” and “Pre-Export Lenders” shall include each such Pre-Export Agent in its individual capacity.
i.Successor Agents
82



. Each Pre-Export Agent may resign, or shall resign upon the request of the Required Pre-Export Lenders in the event such Pre-Export Agent becomes a Defaulting Pre-Export Lender and is not a Performing Pre-Export Lender, as Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Pre-Export Lenders and the Pre-Export Borrower Representative. If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents, then the Required Pre-Export Lenders shall appoint from among the Pre-Export Lenders a successor Agent, which successor Agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 6(a) or 6(f) with respect to any Pre-Export Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Pre-Export Borrower Representative (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the applicable Agent, and the term “Pre-Export Administrative Agent,” “Pre-Export Collateral Agent” or “Onshore Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Pre-Export Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Pre-Export Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Pre-Export Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Pre-Export Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents.
j.Pre-Export Lead Arrangers and Pre-Export Bookrunners
. None of the Pre-Export Joint Lead Arrangers, the Pre-Export Joint Bookrunners nor the Pre-Export Senior Mandated Lead Arranger shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.
k.Agent Communications
. Each Pre-Export Agent shall provide to each Pre-Export Lender a copy of each material report, certificate, statement or other communication required to be delivered to it under the Pre-Export Loan Documents and which has not been delivered to the Pre-Export Lenders; provided, that posting by the Pre-Export Agent to Intralinks or to a similar electronic distribution location shall satisfy the requirements of this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Pre-Export Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Pre-Export Lender. The Pre-Export Lenders are not partners or co ventures, and no Pre-Export Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of any Pre-Export Agent) authorized to act for, any other Pre-Export Lender.
SECTION 243.MISCELLANEOUS
a.Amendments and Waivers
83



. Neither this Agreement, any other Pre-Export Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1. The Required Pre-Export Lenders and each Pre-Export Borrower party to the relevant Pre-Export Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Pre-Export Lenders, each Pre-Export Agent and each Pre-Export Borrower party to the relevant Pre-Export Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Pre-Export Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Pre-Export Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Pre-Export Lenders or of the Pre-Export Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Pre-Export Lenders or the applicable Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Pre-Export Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that (A) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (v) reduce (by way of forgiveness or otherwise) the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Pre-Export Loan, reduce the amount or stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (1) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (2) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement or the other Pre-Export Loan Documents shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (v)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Pre-Export Lender’s Pre-Export Commitment, or increase any Pre-Export Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage, in each case without the written consent of each Pre-Export Lender directly affected thereby; (w) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Pre-Export Lender, or otherwise amend any provisions, under this Section 8.1 without the written consent of such Pre-Export Lender; (x) waive any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Pre-Export Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by any Pre-Export Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents, amend or waive the Financial Covenants, Section 5.1(q)(vii), Section 5.1(q)(xii) or Section 5.1(q)(xiii); (y) amend or waive Section 3.17 or Section 5.3(h) or their related definitions, release a Pre-Export Guarantor or all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the provisions of the Pre-Export Loan Documents), or change any provision hereof requiring ratable funding or ratable sharing of payments or setoffs or otherwise related to the pro rata treatment of Pre-Export Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all Pre-Export Lenders; or (z) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 7 without the written consent of each Pre-Export Agent and (B) the Pre-Export Administrative Agent and the Pre-Export Borrowers may amend this Agreement to add any documentation agent as a party hereto without the consent of any other Pre-Export Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Pre-Export Lenders and shall be binding upon the Pre-Export Borrowers, the Pre-Export Lenders, the Pre-Export Agents and all future holders of the Pre-Export Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Pre-Export Borrowers, the Pre-Export Lenders and the Pre-Export Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Pre-Export Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver
84



shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
141.Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a), the Pre-Export Commitments and Aggregate Exposure of any Defaulting Pre-Export Lender that is not a Performing Pre-Export Lender shall be disregarded for all purposes of any determination of whether the Required Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Lenders or each affected Pre-Export Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Pre-Export Lender.

c.No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies
. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or any Pre-Export Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Pre-Export Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Pre-Export Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Pre-Export Loans hereunder.
e.Payment of Expenses
. The Pre-Export Borrowers agree jointly and severally (a) to pay or reimburse the Pre-Export Credit Parties for all reasonable outofpocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Pre-Export Credit Parties and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative prior to the Conversion Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Conversion Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Pre-Export Credit Parties shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Pre-Export Credit Party for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Pre-Export Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Pre-Export Credit Party, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Pre-Export Credit Party harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Pre-Export Loan Documents and any such other documents, (d) to pay or reimburse each Pre-Export Credit Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and any related documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to each Pre-Export Credit Party and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Pre-Export Credit Party and their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect
87



to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Pre-Export Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Pre-Export Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Pre-Export Borrower or any of the properties owned by such Pre-Export Borrower and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Pre-Export Borrower under any Pre-Export Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Pre-Export Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final, non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pre-Export Borrowers agree not to assert, and hereby waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Pre-Export Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any such damages are determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 8.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand to the Pre-Export Borrower Representative therefor.

f.Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments
. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Pre-Export Borrowers, the Pre-Export Lenders, the Pre-Export Agents, all future holders of the Pre-Export Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Pre-Export Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Pre-Export Lender and (ii) any attempted assignment or transfer by a Pre-Export Borrower without such consent shall be null and void.
142.Any Pre-Export Lender may, without the consent of the Pre-Export Borrowers, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Pre-Export Loan owing to such Pre-Export Lender, the Pre-Export Commitment of such Pre-Export Lender or any other interest of such Pre-Export Lender hereunder and under the other Pre-Export Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Pre-Export Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Pre-Export Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement
88



shall remain unchanged, such Pre-Export Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Pre-Export Lender shall remain the holder of any such Pre-Export Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents, and the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Pre-Export Lender in connection with such Pre-Export Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Pre-Export Borrower therefrom, except any amendment, waiver or consent described in the proviso to Section 8.1(a) that affects such Participant, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. Each Pre-Export Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Pre-Export Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 8.7 as fully as if it were a Pre-Export Lender hereunder. Each Pre-Export Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (and subject to the limitations thereof) with respect to its participation in the Pre-Export Commitments and the Pre-Export Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Pre-Export Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.13, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.13 (including the requirements under Sections 2.13(f) and 2.13(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.13(f) and 2.13(g) shall be delivered to the participating Pre-Export Lender) as if it was a Pre-Export Lender that had acquired its interest by assignment, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 (as the case may be) than the transferor Pre-Export Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Pre-Export 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 that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Pre-Export Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Pre-Export Borrowers, 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 Pre-Export Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Commitments or Pre-Export Loans or its other obligations under any Pre-Export Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Pre-Export Commitment, or Pre-Export 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 Pre-Export Lender, each Pre-Export Borrower and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
89



pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
143.Any Pre-Export Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Person (other than a Pre-Export Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents 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 Pre-Export Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) the consent of the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Pre-Export Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to the Pre-Export Lender and Pre-Export Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof) shall be required in the case of any assignment to a Person that is not a Pre-Export Lender or a Pre-Export Lender Affiliate (except that the consent of the Pre-Export Borrowers 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 Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Pre-Export Lender or any Pre-Export Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $[●], in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Pre-Export 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. For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Pre-Export Lender and its Pre-Export Lender Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) 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 Pre-Export Lender hereunder with a Pre-Export Commitment and/or Pre-Export Loans as set forth therein, (y) the Assignee thereunder shall become and be deemed a party to the Framework 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 obligations of the Assignor as a Pre-Export Lenders set forth in the Framework Agreement and (z) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the Framework 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.
144.The Pre-Export Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Pre-Export Borrowers solely for tax purposes, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Pre-Export Lenders and the Pre-Export Commitment of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Pre-Export Loans owing to, each Pre-Export Lender from time to time, which Register shall be made available to the Pre-
90



Export Borrowers and any Pre-Export Lender upon reasonable request. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Pre-Export Borrowers, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent and the Pre-Export Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Pre-Export Loans and any Notes evidencing the Pre-Export Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Pre-Export Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Pre-Export Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Pre-Export Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee.
145.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), the Pre-Export 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.
146.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 Pre-Export Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in accordance with applicable law.
147.The Pre-Export Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Pre-Export Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Pre-Export Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.
g.Adjustments; Setoff
. Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Pre-Export Lender or to the Pre-Export Lenders on a non pro rata basis, if any Pre-Export Lender (a “Benefitted Pre-Export Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 6(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Pre-Export Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Pre-Export Lender, such Benefitted Pre-Export Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Pre-Export Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Pre-Export Lender, or shall provide such other Pre-Export Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Pre-Export Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Pre-Export Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Pre-Export Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
91



148.In addition to any rights and remedies of the Pre-Export Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pre-Export Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Pre-Export Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Pre-Export Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Pre-Export Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Pre-Export Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Pre-Export Borrowers, as the case may be. Each Pre-Export Lender agrees promptly to notify the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Pre-Export Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
h.Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or portable document format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Pre-Export Borrower Representative and the Pre-Export Administrative Agent.
i.Severability
. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
j.Integration
. This Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Pre-Export Borrowers, the Pre-Export Administrative Agent and the Pre-Export Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Pre-Export Administrative Agent or any Pre-Export Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Pre-Export Loan Documents.
k.Governing Law

l.Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers
. Each Pre-Export Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
149.submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Pre-Export Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York county, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
150.consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
151.agrees that a final non-appealable judgment (a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of any indebtedness of such Person arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any Note, as the case may be) against such Person in any action, proceeding or claim arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any Note, shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any court lawfully entitled to entertain such suit;
152.recognizes that the remedies of the Pre-Export Credit Parties specified in this Section are not exclusive and that the exercise of any such remedy shall not preclude any Pre-Export Credit Party from pursuing other remedies available to it in any competent court;
153.waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, attachment and execution, both before and after judgment, to which such Person might otherwise be entitled in any action or proceeding in the courts of Brazil, the State of New York, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any other jurisdiction, relating in any way to this Agreement or any Note, and agrees that such Pre-Export Borrower will neither raise nor claim any such immunity at or in respect of any such action or proceeding;
154.(i) designates and appoints Bunge Limited’s chief financial officer (from time to time) at its principal executive offices at 1391 Timberlake Manor Parkway Chesterfield, MO 63017 (the “Authorized Agent”) as its agent and attorney-in-fact to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any action or proceeding in the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, United States of America or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York until

Each of the Pre-Export Borrowers further consents to the service of process or summons by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, directed to it at its address specified in Section 8.2. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of any Pre-Export Credit Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law, and any service of process received by the Authorized agent shall, for all purposes under Brazilian law, be deemed to have been received by the Pre-Export Borrower.
