| (A) |  | prior to the issue of the Preliminary License, the Borrower may request Loans up to US$12,500,000 (twelve million five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars);
| (B) |  | upon the issue of the Preliminary License and delivery of a certified true copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may request additional Loans up to US$17,500,000 (seventeen million and five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars), provided that the Aggregate Principal Amount after disbursement

18

#####

|  |  | of such Loans does not exceed US$30,000,000 (thirty million U.S. Dollars);
| (C) |  | upon the issue of the Installation License and delivery of a certified true copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may request Loans for the then outstanding balance of US$20,000,000 (twenty million U.S. Dollars); and
| (D) |  | the aggregate principal amount of the Loans shall not exceed US$50,000,000 (fifty million U.S. Dollars) nor be in excess of such Bank’s Commitment.

|  |  | Amounts paid, repaid or prepaid in respect of the Loans shall not be re-borrowed.
| (b) |  | The Commitments, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the other terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically terminated at the Administrative Agent’s close of business on the last day of the Availability Period. The Commitments once terminated may not be reinstated.

| 2.2 |  | Notice of Drawdown; Funding by Banks.

| (a) |  | The Borrower shall draw the Loans by giving a notice in the form of Annex B hereto (a “Notice of Drawdown”) to the Administrative Agent during the Availability Period, which notice must identify the relevant Drawdown Date, which Drawdown Date must be at least two (2) Business Days thereafter but in no event after the end of the Availability Period. The receipt of the Notice of Drawdown by the Administrative Agent shall obligate the Borrower to borrow the aggregate principal amount specified in such Notice of Drawdown up to the Aggregate Principal Amount. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event on the same day that the Administrative Agent receives such notice, if received by 11:00 a.m. New York time on such day) (i) advise the Banks by fax or SWIFT of its receipt of the Notice of Drawdown, and of the proposed Drawdown Date and the amount of each Bank’s advance to be made, and (ii) confirm to the Banks the Borrower’s satisfaction, to the best of the Administrative Agent’s knowledge, of all the applicable conditions of the Loans set forth in Sections 4.1. and 4.2 hereof, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to confirm to the Banks the Borrower’s satisfaction of any of the conditions of the Loans set forth in Section 4.2 (a) through (d) hereof.
| (b) |  | Each advance shall be made by each Bank in accordance with its applicable Commitment; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make any advance shall not in itself relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make its advance (it being understood, however, that no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make any

19

#####

|  |  | advance required to be made by such other Bank). If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on any Drawdown Date then the Banks shall not be obligated to disburse the Loans that were to be disbursed on that date, and the Commitments shall automatically terminate, without any action on the part of the Banks.
| (c) |  | Each Bank shall deposit the portion of the Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed Drawdown Date by wire transfer to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Banks on the Business Day that is the proposed Drawdown Date, in federal funds or such other immediately available funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in Dollars not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, provided, however, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Administrative Agent shall by its close of business on such date, New York time, credit the amounts so received in accordance with item (d) below, or, if the borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or because a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, return the amounts so received to the respective Banks. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the proposed Drawdown Date for its portion of the Loan that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s portion of its Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed Drawdown Date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Bank on demand. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Bank, the cost to the Administrative Agent of acquiring overnight federal funds and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the then applicable LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin.
| (d) |  | The Borrower and each of the Banks acknowledges that each Loan to be made available to the Borrower by each Bank in accordance with this

20

#####

|  |  | Section shall be treated as a “Recebimento Antecipado de Exportação” in accordance with the regulations issued by the Central Bank of Brazil.

| 2.3 |  | Notes; Bank’s Records. All the Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note duly executed on behalf of the Borrower and guaranteed by the Guarantors, dated the relevant Drawdown Date, with the blanks appropriately filled, and payable to the order of such Bank in an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate principal amount of such Bank’s Commitment. As additional evidence of the indebtedness, each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank resulting from the Loans made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder, and such records shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
| 2.4 |  | Interest on the Loans.

| (a) |  | The Borrower shall pay the Paying Agent for the account of the Banks interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by each Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the relevant LIBO Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin as notified in writing to the Borrower and the Banks by the Administrative Agent. Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Banks in the absence of clearly demonstrable error.
| (b) |  | Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed, counted from the relevant Drawdown Date, and shall be payable in arrears on the relevant Interest Payment Date. In the event interest due hereunder is not paid on an Interest Payment Date with the proceeds of the Collection Account as provided in Section 2.8 below, then the Borrower shall pay such interest directly to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Banks.

| 2.5 |  | Alternative Interest Rate for LIBO Rate. In the event, and on each occasion, that on an Interest Rate Determination Date the Administrative Agent shall have determined or shall have been notified by a Bank acting in good faith (a) that the LIBO Rate cannot be determined, or (b) that the rates at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Bank of making or maintaining its Loan during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall, in a timely manner, give written or telecopy notice of such determination or notice to the Borrower and the Banks. In the event of any such determination or notification, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such determination or notice no longer exist, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and after consultation with the Banks) shall then negotiate in good faith with the Borrower with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for calculating the interest

21

#####

|  |  | payable on and/or for maintaining and/or for funding the Loans in that Interest Period. Any alternative basis agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Banks and with the consent of the Banks) within twenty-five (25) days of the Administrative Agent’s notification of the event in question shall take effect in accordance with its terms. If an alternative basis is not so agreed, and provided the Loans are outstanding, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall become due and payable on the date which is five (5) Business Days following the last day of such twenty-five (25) day period together with all interest thereon. Each Bank’s Loan shall during that Interest Period bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus the cost to it (expressed as a rate per annum) of funding its Loan during that Interest Period or during the whole period until the Final Maturity Date, at such Bank’s request, by whatever means it determines in good faith to be appropriate. Each Bank shall certify (in reasonable detail) that cost to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of that twenty-five (25) day period. Each determination by the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
| 2.6 |  | Late Payment. If any amount due hereunder with respect to any Loan, including principal, interest, fees, premiums, expenses or any other amount, is not paid when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), then interest shall accrue (and compound monthly) on such overdue amount at the interest rate then applicable to the outstanding principal amount of such Loan, plus the greater of (i) two percent (2%) per annum (to the extent permitted by applicable law), and (ii) the maximum overdue rate per annum permitted by the Central Bank of Brazil, for each day counted from the due date thereof until full and effective payment (after as well as before judgment). Interest accruing on overdue amounts pursuant to this Section shall be payable on demand.
| 2.7 |  | [Reserved].
| 2.8 |  | Scheduled Repayment.

| (a) |  | Subject to Section 2.9, the Borrower shall repay the principal amount of each Loan made during the Availability Period in twenty (20) equal installments of US$2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) on each of the Principal Repayment Dates; provided, however, that the final installment shall be paid no later than the Final Maturity Date.
| (b) |  | The primary mechanism for the repayment of the principal of the Loans shall be through the export of Goods (or goods under each Off-take Contract) by the Borrower to the Importers pursuant to the Assigned Export Contracts and the payment by the Importers in respect of the Export Receivables resulting therefrom directly to the Collection Account. The proceeds of such payments made to the Collection Account shall be applied against the principal amount of the Loans and interest due thereon as set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) below.

22

#####

| (c) |  | During each Calculation Period the Collection Account Agent shall hold all funds received into the Collection Account from or on behalf of the Borrower or any Importer for application on the forthcoming Principal Repayment Dates falling within such Calculation Period until the Collection Account contains an amount equal to the principal amount due to the Banks on the Principal Repayment Dates falling within such Calculation Period, and, provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing and that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with its obligations under Section 5(l) both before and immediately after such release, all additional amounts received in the Collection Account during the relevant Calculation Period shall be released by the Collection Account Agent to the Borrower in accordance with its written instructions, but always through a foreign account held by a Brazilian bank authorized to operate in the Brazilian foreign exchange market.
| (d) |  | Provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, on each Principal Repayment Date, the Collection Account Agent shall transfer the funds collected into and still held in the Collection Account to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof for payment of the principal due in respect of the Loans with respect to that Principal Repayment Date.
| (e) |  | If at any time a Default has occurred and is continuing, then all amounts received in the Collection Account shall be held therein subject to the rights as provided in the Collection Account Pledge Agreement.
| (f) |  | In the event that any installment of principal or any other amount in respect of the Loans or any other Obligation is not paid when due, or if any portion of principal due on any Principal Payment Date remains unpaid, the Borrower shall immediately pay such amount to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Banks and the Banks may demand payment thereof under the Notes.
| (g) |  | To the extent not previously paid, all unpaid Loans and any other Obligation shall be paid in full in cash by the Borrower on the Final Maturity Date.

| 2.9 |  | Prepayment. The Borrower shall be entitled to prepay, in whole or in part, the principal amount of the outstanding Loans to the Paying Agent for the account of each Bank, provided that all of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (i) the prepayment shall be paid to the Banks ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Loans then owing to them; (ii) the principal amount prepaid shall be paid together with accrued interest on the relevant amounts of the Loans then being prepaid to the date of such prepayment, the applicable Prepayment Fee (except as provided below) plus any Break Funding Costs due pursuant to Section 2.13(iv) hereof (except as provided below); (iii) the Borrower shall have received all necessary approvals for such payment from all relevant Governmental Authorities; (iv) the prepayment shall be in the aggregate amount

23

#####

|  |  | of at least US$2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) and an integral multiple of US$500,000 (five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars); and (v) the Borrower shall have given to each of the Banks and to the Administrative Agent not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to prepay the Loans, which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the amount being prepaid and the prepayment date. Notwithstanding item (ii) above, if the Borrower prepays a Loan or any portion thereof within thirty (30) days before its relevant Principal Repayment Date, no Prepayment Fee and no Break Funding Costs shall be due and paid by the Borrower with respect to such Loan or portion thereof. Any prepayment made in accordance with the foregoing shall be applied against scheduled repayments in accordance with Section 2.10.
| 2.10 |  | Method and Application of Payment. All payments and prepayments of principal and all payments of interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder (including payments made through the mechanism provided in Section 2.8(b)) shall be made by the Borrower to the Paying Agent for the account of the Banks at the office of JP Morgan Chase to Account Number 400-212420, SWIFT address CHASUS33, Reference: Angélica Agroenergia, Attention: Niels Vaneker, or at such other place as the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent may from time to time specify in writing, with each such payment to be made in immediately available Dollars, on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the due date thereof, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any Taxes or other payments. Payments received after this time shall be deemed to have been received by the Paying Agent on the following Business Day. Whenever payment of any obligation shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of payment, such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be applied by the Paying Agent, on the same day of its receipt (to the extent reasonably possible), pro rata according to each Bank’s respective interest of the then aggregate principal amount of the Loans owing to the Banks, as so notified by the Administrative Agent to the Paying Agent. Until the Borrower has discharged the Obligations in full, all amounts received by the Paying Agent from the Borrower or for its account shall be applied by the Paying Agent in the following way, as so notified by the Administrative Agent: (a) first, in discharge of any fees, expenses or other right of indemnification (with respect to increased costs, taxes or otherwise) due and payable under any Credit Document; (b) second, in discharge of any interest (including capitalized interest) accrued and unpaid, in the order determined by the Administrative Agent; (c) third, in repayment of the Loans, in the order determined by the Administrative Agent; (d) fourth, in discharge of any other Obligations; and (e) fifth, any surplus shall be paid as the Borrower may direct in writing or to the Person otherwise entitled; provided that in case of a Default or Event of Default, the Paying Agent shall

24

#####

|  |  | retain any such surplus until further disposition in accordance with the terms hereof.
| 2.11 |  | Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if at any time any Bank shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that compliance by such Bank with any applicable law or governmental regulation, guideline or order or interpretation thereof or change therein by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for such Bank to make or maintain its Loan, then, and in any such event, such Bank shall immediately so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. If such change in circumstances occurs prior to the disbursement of such Bank’s Loan during the Availability Period, then such Bank’s Commitment and all its other obligations hereunder shall terminate without any liability or indemnification in favor of the Borrower.

In addition, each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives all benefits under Articles 333, 366, 821, 824, 827, 828, 829, 834, 835, 837, 838 and 839 of the Brazilian Civil Code and Article 595 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure. Each Guarantor also irrevocably waives any offset or counterclaim or other right, defense or claim based on or in the nature of any obligation now or later owed to such Guarantor by the Borrower or any Agent or Bank.
| 7.5 |  | Subordination. The (i) payment of any amounts due with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower for money borrowed or credit received now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor and (ii) exercise by any Guarantor of any rights against the Borrower arising as a result of payment by a Guarantor hereunder by way of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise are hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations, including those for purposes of Article 83, VIII, (a), of Law 11.101/2005. Each Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, no Guarantor will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such Indebtedness of the Borrower to any Guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If,

50

#####

|  |  | notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness while any Obligations are still outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Banks and be paid over to the Paying Agent or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantors under the other provisions hereof.
| 7.6 |  | No Marshalling. Except to the extent required by applicable law, the Banks shall not be required to marshal any collateral securing, or any guaranties of, the Guaranteed Obligations, or to resort to any item of collateral or any guaranty in any particular order, and the Banks’ rights with respect of any collateral and guaranties will be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any law requiring or relating to the marshaling of collateral or guaranties or any other law which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of the Banks’ rights under this Section 7, under any of the other Credit Documents or under any other agreement.
| 7.7 |  | Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees to the Administrative Agent and each Bank that (i) it will receive valuable direct and indirect benefits as a result of the transactions financed by the Loans under the Credit Documents; (ii) these benefits will constitute “reasonably equivalent value” and “fair consideration” as those terms are used in fraudulent transfer laws; (iii) it has not made a transfer or incurred an obligations under the Guaranty with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its present or future creditors. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that each of the Agents and the Banks has acted in good faith in connection with the Guaranty and the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents.
| 7.8 |  | Nature of Guarantors’ Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor under the Guaranty are independent of any obligation of the Agents or Banks or any other Person, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor under this Guaranty whether or not any action is brought or prosecuted against the Agents or Banks or any other Person and whether or not the Agents or Banks or any other Person is joined in any action under the Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.
| 7.9 |  | Additional Security. This Guaranty is in addition to and are not in any way prejudiced by any other guaranty or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.
| 7.10 |  | Set Off. An Agent or Bank may set off any matured obligation owed by a Guarantor under this Guaranty (to the extent beneficially owned by such Agent or Bank) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by the Agent or Bank to such Guarantor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the

51

#####

|  |  | Agent or Bank may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. If either obligation is unliquidated or unascertained, the Agent or Bank may set off in an amount estimated by it in good faith to be the amount of that obligation.
| 7.11 |  | Election of Remedies. Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Agents and the Banks of certain rights and remedies contained in the Credit Documents may affect or eliminate the Guarantor’s right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Loan parties and that the Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability under this Guaranty. Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Agents and the Banks to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion, and waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of the Guarantor against the Borrower, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Agents or the Banks, or otherwise.

10. |  | THE AGENTS; THE LEAD ARRANGER;

| 10.1 |  | Appointment; Limitation of Liability. Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Bank under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith, and each Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes each Agent in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith and to exercise such powers and perform such duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are expressly delegated to each Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation in the case of the Collection Account Agent and the Collateral Agent the power to receive and/or foreclose Collateral on behalf of the Banks and to execute and deliver all Security Agreements to which they are party on behalf of the Banks. The Banks may have to grant the Collateral Agent one or more powers of attorney as may be required or convenient under Brazilian law in order to allow the Collateral Agent to execute, register and deliver all Security Agreements, to perform its rights and obligations, to foreclose on the Collateral and/or remit the resulting proceeds thereof for the ratable benefit of the Banks. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents no Agent in its respective capacity as such agent, shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or otherwise exist against any Agent, in its respective capacity as such. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or any other Credit Document with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship agreed between independent contracting parties. No Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Banks (or when expressly required hereby or thereby, all the Banks). In all cases the Agents shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Banks (or when expressly required hereby or thereby, all the Banks), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Banks and all future holders of the Notes.

Each Agent may execute any of its duties under the Credit Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, with such fees of such counsel for the account of the Borrower. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
| 10.3 |  | Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless it has received notice from the Borrower or a Bank describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each Bank. Such Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks; provided, that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such 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 Banks.
| 10.4 |  | Reliance of Agent, etc. No Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or when expressly required hereby or thereby, all the Banks) or (b) in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agents: (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Bank that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an assignee, as provided in Section 11.1 hereof; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower and/or any Guarantor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Credit Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Credit Documents on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any Guarantor or to monitor or report on any aspect of the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Credit Documents; (v) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Credit Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other

58

#####

|  |  | instrument or writing (which may be by fax, telex or SWIFT) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
| 10.5 |  | Agent as a Bank; Agents in Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it and the Note or Notes issued to it, the Agents shall each have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each Agent that is also a Bank in its individual capacity. The Agents and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any Guarantor, any of their respective Subsidiaries, and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, all as if such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. In addition, each of the Banks acknowledges the Parallel Debt (as such term is defined in the Collection Account Pledge Agreement) that has been created in the Collection Account Pledge Agreement in favor of the Collection Account Agent.
| 10.6 |  | Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank and based on the financial statements of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
| 10.7 |  | Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agents and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Agent Indemnified Party”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Loans owing to them (or if no Loans are at the time outstanding or if any Loans are held by Persons that are not Banks, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnified Party under any Credit Document (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided, that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs to the extent determined by the final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to specifically have been proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Agent Indemnified Party. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse each Agent Indemnified Party

59

#####

|  |  | promptly upon demand for its ratable share of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by such Agent Indemnified Party in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Credit Documents, to the extent that such Agent Indemnified Party is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 10.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Agent Indemnified Party, any Bank or a third party.
| 10.8 |  | Successor. Each Agent may resign at any time by giving ten (10) days prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor to such Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within ten (10) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Banks’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a reputable commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its rights, powers, discretion, privileges, duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
| 10.9 |  | Lead Arranger. The Lead Arranger shall have no obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement but shall have the rights hereunder expressly granted to it, including, without limitation, the right to indemnity under Section 11.14 hereof and the right to costs and expenses under Section 11.3 hereof.

At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each of the Guarantors), each Bank may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors (including, without limitation, the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations) even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any collateral for the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations.

| 11.7 |  | New York Law Contract. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, including Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law but excluding any conflicts of law principles that would lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
| 11.8 |  | Consent to Jurisdiction.

| (a) |  | Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors agrees that any action or proceeding relating in any way to this Agreement may be brought and enforced in the state courts sitting in the City of New York, New York, United States of America, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, at the sole discretion of the Required Banks. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors further irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive in personam jurisdiction of each such court and the appellate courts thereof. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have

65

#####

|  |  | to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding relating in any way to this Agreement in any such court, and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to claim or plead the same. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to bring suit in any other jurisdiction.
| (b) |  | Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company, with offices on the date hereof at 1133 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 3100, city of New York, state of New York, 10036-6710 (the “Process Agent”) as its agent 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 City of New York, New York, United States of America or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and agrees that service in such manner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding. If for any reason such Process Agent shall cease to be available to act as such, each of the Borrower and the Guarantor agrees to designate a new Process Agent in the City of New York (and notify the Administrative Agent of such designation), on the terms and for the purposes of this provision, provided that the new Process Agent shall have accepted such designation in writing before the termination of the appointment of the prior Process Agent. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor 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 11.6 hereof. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the any Agent or any Bank to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
| (c) |  | Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor agrees that a final judgment (a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of any indebtedness of it arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any Note, as the case may be) against it 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.
| (d) |  | Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor recognizes that the remedies of the Banks and the Agents specified in this Section 11.8 are not exclusive and that the exercise of any such remedy shall not preclude any Bank or any Agent from pursuing other remedies available to it in any competent court.

66

#####

| (e) |  | Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably 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 it might otherwise be entitled in any action or proceeding in the courts of Brazil, The Netherlands Antilles, 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 it will neither raise nor claim any such immunity at or in respect of any such action or proceeding.

| 11.9 |  | Captions. Captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.
| 11.10 |  | Separate Counterparts. This Agreement or any amendment may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
| 11.11 |  | Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
| 11.12 |  | Consents, Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the other Credit Documents, nor any provision hereof or thereof, may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by, or approved in writing by, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Required Banks, provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of any Loan, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled date of payment of principal or interest thereon, or waive or excuse any payment of principal or interest or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each holder of a Note or each Bank affected thereby, (ii) change the amount of any Commitment without the prior written consent of each Bank, or extend any Commitment of any Bank without the prior written consent of such Bank, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Sections 2.11 or 2.13 or the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Banks”, (iv) change the allocation among the Banks of any prepayment or repayment made under Sections 2.8 or 2.9 without the prior written consent of each Bank affected thereby, (v) amend Section 10 or any other provisions hereof in a manner adverse to any Agent

67

#####

|  |  | without the prior written consent thereof, (vi) amend Section 11 in a manner adverse to any Bank without the prior written consent of such Bank, or (vii) release the Borrower or any of the Guarantors of their relevant obligations under any of the Credit Documents. Each Bank and each holder of a Note shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized pursuant to this Section regardless of whether its Notes shall have been marked to make reference thereto, and any consent by any Bank or holder of a Note pursuant to this Section shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note from it, whether or not such Note shall have been so marked. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower or the Guarantor shall entitle the Borrower or the Guarantor to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
| 11.13 |  | U.S. Dollar Loan Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of payment in Dollars is of the essence. Dollars shall be the currency of account and of payment in all events. The Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder to make payments in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Paying Agent or a Bank of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Paying Agent or such Bank under this Agreement. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower or any Guarantor in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency the parties agree, to the fullest extent permitted for the parties to do so, that the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Paying Agent or if the Paying Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Paying Agent) determined, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such amounts, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. For purposes of determining the rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.
| 11.14 |  | Indemnification.

68

#####

| (a) |  | The Borrower and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, each Agent, the Lead Arranger and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (together, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (together, “Liabilities”) arising out of or by reason of any investigation or litigation or other proceedings (including any threatened investigation or litigation or other proceedings) (collectively, the “Proceedings” and, individually, a “Proceeding”) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of proceeds of the Loans or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such Proceeding (but excluding any such Liabilities to the extent determined by the final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to specifically have been proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified).
| (b) |  | Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Borrower and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against Liabilities of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way relating to any Proceeding relating to any violation or noncompliance with or liability under Environmental Laws or any orders, requirements or demands of any Governmental Authority related thereto (including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and litigation expenses), except to the extent determined by the final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to specifically have been proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified.
| (c) |  | If any Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which Liabilities may be sought against such Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 11.14(a) and 11.14(b) above, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement of such Proceeding, but the omission to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower or any of the Guarantors from the Liabilities or any other obligation which they may have to the relevant Indemnified Party or any other Indemnified Party. Such Indemnified Party shall instruct the counsel of its choice, at the cost and expense of the Borrower and the Guarantors, to defend itself in such Proceeding. The Borrower and each of the Guarantors, joint and severally, shall pay the relevant fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel upon demand at least

69

#####

|  |  | quarterly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Proceeding (employing separate counsel, at their own cost and expense), if (i) the defendants in, or targets of, any such Proceeding include both an Indemnified Party and any of the Borrower and the Guarantors; or (ii) the Required Banks have authorized the Borrower and the Guarantors in writing to participate in such Proceeding. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of all the Banks, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding in respect of which Liabilities, indemnification or contribution may be sought (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such Proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an explicit and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party hereunder from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and all other Liabilities. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly of the assertion of any Proceeding against it, any of its officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors. The foregoing indemnification commitments shall apply whether or not the Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceeding. For purposes hereof, the fees, costs and expenses of any Proceeding shall be deemed to include the cost of providing evidence (including, without limitation, the appearance by any Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors as witnesses) in addition to the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as provided in this Section 11.14(c).
| (d) |  | To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in Sections 11.14(a) through 11.14(c) above may be unenforceable, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them.

| 11.15 |  | Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, EACH BANK, EACH AGENT AND THE LEAD ARRANGER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE BORROWER, ANY OF THE GUARANTORS, A BANK, ANY LEAD ARRANGER OR ANY AGENT. THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH SUCH OTHER

70

#####

|  |  | CREDIT DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH BANK, EACH AGENT AND THE LEAD ARRANGER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.
| 11.16 |  | Survival. The obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor, as the case may be, under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 9, 11.3, 11.13 and 11.14, and of the Banks under Sections 10.2 and 10.7, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
| 11.17 |  | Neutral Interpretation. In the interpretation of this Agreement and the Notes, no party shall be deemed the drafting party and each provision hereof and thereof shall be interpreted neutrally with no presumption arising in favor of one party or the other based upon which party prepared the drafts or the final version hereof or thereof.
| 11.18 |  | Usury. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to the Banks limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Banks.
| 11.19 |  | Acknowledgements. The Borrower and each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that (a) they have been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and (b) none of the Agents, the Lead Arranger nor the Banks has a fiduciary relationship to the Borrower or any of the Guarantors, and the relationship between the Agents, the Lead Arranger and the Banks, on the one hand, and the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor.

Each of the Agents and the Lead Arranger hereby notifies each of the Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, including the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that allows such party to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

ANNEX F
FORM OF COLLECTION ACCOUNT PLEDGE AGREEMENT
COLLECTION ACCOUNT PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 13, 2007 by and among ANGÉLICA AGROENERGIA LTDA., a company existing under the laws of Federative Republic of Brazil, with its registered offices at Estrada Angélica, BR 267, Km 14, s/n°, Zona Rural, Fazenda Kurupay, CEP 79.785-000, Angélica, MS, Brazil, enrolled with CNPJ under No. 07.903.169/0001-09, in its capacity as pledgor (the “Borrower”); RABOBANK CURAÇAO N.V., a Netherlands Antilles financial institution, acting in its capacity as Paying Agent and Collection Account Agent for the Banks and pledgee hereunder (the “Agent”); and BANCO RABOBANK INTERNATIONAL BRASIL S.A., a Brazilian financial institution, acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the Banks pursuant to the Export Prepayment Finance Agreement, as defined below (the “Administrative Agent”).
Except as otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Export Prepayment Finance Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS Section 2.8 of the Export Prepayment Finance Agreement dated July 13, 2007 among the Borrower, Banco Rabobank International Brasil S.A. as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, Rabobank Curaçao N.V. as Collection Account Agent and Paying Agent, Rabobank Curaçao N.V., as Lead Arranger, and the Banks and Guarantors listed therein (the “Export Prepayment Finance Agreement”) provides that all payments in respect of the Export Receivables shall be initially deposited in the Collection Account; and
WHEREAS the Agent has established in the name of the Borrower in Curaçao, The Netherlands Antilles, the Collection Account (Account No. 72028) as a segregated, US Dollar denominated account,
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Disbursements from the Collection Account. Prior to any Default, all amounts received in the Collection Account during each Calculation Period will be paid by the Agent to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Banks in such amounts and at such times as provided in the Export Prepayment Finance Agreement, provided, however, that amounts received beyond the amount due to the Banks on the final day of the relevant Calculation Period may be paid to the Borrower as provided in, and in accordance with, Section 2.8(c) of the Export Prepayment Finance Agreement. Amounts received in the Collection Account other than during a Calculation Period shall, provided no Default shall have occurred and is continuing and that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with its obligations under Section 5(l) of the Export Prepayment Finance Agreement, both before and immediately after such release, be released to the Borrower in accordance with its written instructions. For purposes of clarification, the parties acknowledge

111

#####

and agree that although the funds to be deposited in the Collection Account have been pledged to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks as collateral security for the Parallel Debt (as defined in Section 3 below), such funds will also be the primary source of payment of the Obligations such that such funds will be applied in accordance with the first two sentences of this Section 1 at all times prior to the occurrence of a Default. Upon the occurrence of any Default, all amounts held and received in the Collection Account shall be held pending application as the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Banks shall instruct the Agent in writing. No amount held in the Collection Account shall constitute payment of any Obligation until such amount has been forwarded to the Paying Agent as provided herein or otherwise applied after the occurrence of an Event of Default.
2. Limits on Borrower’s Rights Over Collection Account. The Borrower acknowledges that until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid and repaid in full and the Banks’ commitments have terminated, its rights under and in connection with the Collection Account and the funds deposited therein are and will remain subject to this Collection Account Pledge Agreement; and without limiting in any way the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Borrower disclaims any right to withdraw any credit balances held from time to time therein or interest thereon, or any right of set-off as against the Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Banks in respect of such amounts, except as otherwise provided in Section 1 above. The Agent will make available to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent information regarding the balance and movements of funds to and from such account by on-line reporting or otherwise as may be agreed by such parties.
3. Parallel Debt. Subject as provided below, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing by the Borrower to the Banks under the Credit Documents as and when the same fall due for payment thereunder, so that the Agent shall be the obligee of such covenant to pay and shall be entitled to claim performance thereof in its own name and not as agent acting on behalf of the Banks. The Borrower and the Agent acknowledge that for this purpose such monetary obligations of the Borrower are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the identical obligations which the Borrower has to the Banks under the other Credit Documents, provided that this shall not, at the same time, result in the Borrower incurring an aggregate monetary obligation to the Banks and the Agent which is greater than the monetary obligations of the Borrower to the Banks under the other Credit Documents (the “Principal Obligations”). To this end and without prejudice to the foregoing, it is agreed that (i) the amounts due and payable by the Borrower under this Section (the “Parallel Debt”) shall be decreased to the extent that the Borrower has paid any amounts to the Banks or any of them in respect of the Principal Obligations and vice versa and (ii) the Parallel Debt shall not exceed the aggregate of the corresponding obligations which the Borrower has to the Banks under the other Credit Documents. Nothing in this Section shall in any way negate, affect or increase the obligations of the Borrower to the Banks under the Credit Documents in respect of the Principal Obligations. For the purpose of this Section the Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative of any other party hereto and any security granted to the Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and solely for the purpose referred to above.
4. Pledge of Collection Account.

(d) The Borrower hereby instructs the Agent, in its capacity as the bank at which the Collection Account is maintained to comply, and the Agent (in such capacity and in its capacity as Agent on behalf of the Banks) agrees that it will comply, with all instructions from the Administrative Agent in respect of the Collection Account.
(e) The Borrower agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Agent or the Administrative Agent or any Bank may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Pledge and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Collection Account Pledge Agreement and/or the granting of the Pledge. Without limitation, the Borrower grants to the Agent an irrevocable power of attorney to perform all acts and execute all documents in order to create, perfect or implement, on behalf of the Borrower at any time and from time to time, the Pledge and to take any action which the Borrower must take under this Collection Account Pledge Agreement and which is necessary or appropriate for the Agent to create, maintain and exercise its rights under this Collection Account Pledge Agreement. Any conflict of interest does not affect the power of attorney granted under this subsection.
(f) The Borrower declares that it has full and exclusive title to its rights under and in connection with the Collection Account, that it is entitled to pledge the present and future rights under or in connection with the Collection Account and that there are in existence no attachments or other limited rights in respect of such claims or funds. The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) further pledge, transfer, assign or otherwise grant a security interest in its rights under and in connection with the Collection Account or any claims or amounts on deposit therein, or (ii) waive, amend or terminate, in whole or in part, any accessory or ancillary right or other right in respect of the Collection Account, except as expressly allowed, in each case, by the Banks. The Borrower hereby gives notice of the Pledge to the Agent and the Agent hereby acknowledges such notice.
(g) This Pledge will become immediately enforceable if: (a) an Event of Default occurs and (b) there is a default (verzuim) in the performance of the Parallel Debt.

113

#####

(h) After this Pledge has become enforceable, the Agent may immediately, for the benefit of the Banks, exercise any right under applicable law or this Collection Account Pledge Agreement, and subject to the terms of the Export Prepayment Finance Agreement, enforce all or any part of the Pledge.
(i) The Borrower shall ensure that all Assigned Export Contracts and correspondent Export Receivables include a prominent irrevocable instruction requiring the relevant Importer to make all payments directly to the Collection Account.
5. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing and shall become effective when received.
