Contractual clauses (covenants) As at December 31, 2017, the Company's loans had equal rights to payment without subordination clauses. Except for the credit lines due to FINAME contracted by the Company with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES (“BNDES”), where collateral were provided on assets acquired with the credit granted which serve as collateral; other loans and financing contracted by the Company predicted only guarantees as personal collateral or are unsecured. The most loan contracts contained financial covenants including:
| · | financial covenants, including limitation on new indebtedness;
| · | going-concern;
| · | maintenance, in use or in good condition for the business, of the Company's assets;
| · | restrictions on acquisitions, mergers, sale or disposal of its assets;
| · | disclosure of financial statements under Brazilian GAAP and IFRS; and/or
| · | no prohibition related to new real guarantees for loans contracted, except if: (i) expressly authorized under the aforementioned loan agreement, (ii) new loans contracted from financial institutions linked to the Brazilian government - including the BNDES or foreign governments; - or foreign governments, multilateral financial institutions (eg World Bank) or located in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;
These clauses apply to the extent that the events mentioned produce material adverse effects on the Company and / or its subsidiaries or the rights of its creditors, and, in the event of any of the events provided in the clauses , it may have been granted to the Company a grace period to cure such default. Additionally, all agreements entered into with the BNDES are subject to certain “provisions applicable to agreements entered into with the BNDES” (“Provisions”). Such Provisions require the borrower, to obtain prior consent of BNDES if they, for instance, wish to: (i) raise new loans (except for loans described in the Provisions); (ii) give preference and/or priority to other debts; and/or (iii) dispose of or encumber any item of their fixed assets (except as provided for in the Provisions). As at December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all its contractual obligations for its loans and financings.
